After a disastrous building experience this company were like a breath of fresh air ! The job was to take out and renew a wet room floor the builder had done only 18 mths ago. They had to dig out the floor to the outside drains and move them then replace the floor and fittings then tile . Someone rang to say what time they would be here and they were on time. The men were friendly well mannered bringing there own dust sheets and were very careful and tidy. We went away while the work was done and came back to a fabulous job well done . Before the job started I was ill and had to go in hospital so couldn't get to the shop to pick my tiles.The owner of the company brought the tiles out to me when I came home without me asking .I can only highly recommend this company and there excellent service from beginning to end.

In October 2014, Rachel B said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
We have recently had a new bathroom suite fitted by P&D Heating and Bathrooms, and are thrilled with the results. The bathroom looks amazing and the workmanship by everyone working on the project was good.They completed everything on schedule and with the minimum of fuss. I have already recommended P&D to my neighbours!
In October 2014, Carolyne S said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
We have just had a bathroom re-fit, and from the initial visit to the finished bathroom we have been thoroughly impressed. The attention to detail and quality of the workmanship was exceptional. We are thrilled with our new bathroom and grateful to Paul and his team for all of their hard work. Highly recommended by us

"Many thanks to Paul and His team. Thanks to Gary, Jordon & Paul. These lads did a wonderful job on our Bathroom and we would recommend P&D to everybody. Once again a brilliant job! Thanks.
In September 2014, Elizabeth M said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
P&D Heating have recently installed a new central heating system in our home. At every stage of the process from quotation to installation we have been hugely impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. All P&D staff we encountered worked in a neat and tidy way and were extremely courteous. The work was finished on time and within budget. We were recommended by several neighbours in our road who had work done by P&D and we will ourselves be recommending them to our friends.
In June 2014, Steve C said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
P & D Heating & Bathrooms have just replaced my mothers bath and sink with a shower cubicle and new sink. The whole job was done within two days. They worked extremely hard and not once cut any corners on their obvious high standards. We were very satisfied with both the workmanship and the workmen themselves. Especial thanks to Danny who managed the job, sorting the electrics out, plumbing it, doing the joinery and ultimately installing the shower and sink. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending P&D and will be using them again for any future work. Well done guys and keep up the high standard of work.

We used P&D for a new boiler installation and also a complete bathroom refurbishment. We can't praise them enough from our first visit to the showroom to job completion. The professionalism of staff and workforce cannot be faulted. The job ran like clockwork and we would highly recommend P&D to anyone requiring a top notch job. Thank You.
In November 2013, Brian & Anne A said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
Choosing P&D to completely recreate our bathroom was certainly the right decision. The work done was done professionally in a friendly and efficient way. We are delighted with our bathroom and would have no hesitation in recommending p&D to anyone.
In July 2013, Michael W said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
Having being involved in the building trade for the last 35years , I have to say that the standard of workmanship is of the very best I have ever seen! The attention to detail was impressive and Danny is always keen to make sure that everything is as you want it to be,rather than being the easiest for them to fit! They are very good to deal with and courteous and polite. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them! We are extremely happy with our new bathroom!
In April 2013, Jack K said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
My Wife and I are delighted with the downstairs washroom installed by P&D. Danny and Paul both did a great job. Thanks for the efficient way you handled the work.
In April 2013, Vincent H said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
P and D have just completed a total refurb of my bathroom, which included some building work ie knocking down a wall, bricking up a window and closing up a doorway. From planning/design to finish I have been totally satisfied and pleased with the way the work has been done. No unnecessary disruption and some really sound advice given initially. I have now got exactly the bathroom I wanted, with installation and workmanship of the highest standard, carried out in a friendly and efficient manner. A great job by a local business at a very competitive price that I would not hesitate to recommend for any bathroom work...
In April 2013, Vincent H said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
Just had separate toilet and bathroom knocked into one. From start to finish I have been very satisfied with the advice given, quality and high standard of work. The job was started and finished right on time with no unnecessary inconvenience or disruption during what was quite a major job. I am delighted with my new bathroom which has been installed in a very professional manner and to a high standard of workmanship. Experts in what they do and with a friendly manner, I would most certainly recommend them without any hesitation!!
In April 2013, John H said about P & D Heating and Bathrooms Ltd
Our en-suite bathroom renovation is super! From start to finish, the project was well designed and fitted in a clean, efficient and cost effective manner. The dealings we had with P & D from the on-site fitters to showroom staff was very supportive. Even when we had a little bit of snagging, Paul sent out the tiler and fitter to complete the jobs in a short timescale. I would recommend P & D Heating and Bathrooms to anyone, as they are a highly competitive and trustworthy, family business. We will be returning to them in the future when we have our main bathroom fitted. Thanks again for providing us with an excellent feature for our home.

I (maybe one) happen to like hatchbacks, and this car needs to be brought to the US. So BMW didn't sell a million of the M Coupes when they were here(2001-02), but if I could have afforded one-it would still be in my driveway. I believe that cars don't have to be cookie-cutter clones of each other, so when a car like this one comes along, it's a nicely executed concept. Pity.. Another teasing.

"Not much here for me."
My daughter talked me into listening to this book. She thought it was better than Harry Potter. Well to me it sure isn't Harry Potter. This just wasn't my cup of tea at all. Don't think I will see the movie and I know I won't order the second book. This book just did't fit to what I call entertainment or good writting. Took for ever to tell a very simple story. Suzanne Collins repeated herself a lot. She kept going over issues that I thought once said was enough. Just not for me.
"I'm not sure."
I have the utmost respect for Mr. Kyle. His service to our country was outstanding and thank god for men like him. I admire men who don't know what half-ass means. As I listened to this book i felt that old felling of remorse. I didn't serve and have felt guilty ever since. The 60's were just different.
I remember the day Chris was killed. It was very near where I live and it was a very big local news item. This isn't the greatest piece of literary work and not the best written but it is profound. It should be on everyone's reading list.
This book belongs with R. V. Bergen and Eugene Sledge's work. Their stories about their part in WWII are mirrored by Kyle's story 60 years later. Thanks to all the men like Mr. Kyle
"Very good not a HOAX"
I think this may be the best book so far in this series. Strong characters, strong plot, and great narration made for a wonderful listening experience.
"Coming of age"
Recommend? Yes of course. I have found that writers who write series such as the Karp series take a few books to really develop the characters and theme. The first several books Tanenbaum wrote in this series felt to me like he was searching for his characters identity. I think he has found them.
Marlene of course. She is such a wild character. Lucy is a close second.
Pat first I thought what in the world. He seemed to speak to fast and his inflections seemed off but the longer I listened I kind of liked his narration.
After the girl was kidnaped and Lucy told her dad what happened. Karp came alive.
I hope the next books in this series become available very soon.
"So far the best"
I think I would. This book was the most interesting to me of this series.
That's a tuff question. This book added a layer that I didn't feel in the other books of this series. I felt that Marlene was the major focus in this book. Marlene is a much more complex figure than Karp. Tanenbaum did well exploring with her character.
He is ok.
Yes it was. I almost did do that very thing but a Christmas party got in the way.
Tanenbaum did a nice job with this book.
"I must be easy to please"
Probably not. The Karp series is like eating a cheeseburger. Great when your hunger but I don't want to eat the same burger twice.
Anything with Marlene as the focus. She sounds like way more of a woman than Karp is a guy.
Traber is fine. No complaints. He isn't my favorite narrator but he is OK.
Sure I laughed. Marlene is a trip.
I don't find Tanenbaum as good of a writer as Sandford or Flynn but he is good enough. This is book #6 in the series and Tanenbaum has finally slowed down telling the reader Karp is jewish and that Marlene is a catholic. Yep he does mention it some but why? To me it plays no part in the story. I could care less what religion the characters are.
"Lesser Plea"
A nice introduction.
I wouldn't say on the edge but it kept my attention.
Interesting at best.
No escape.
I had listened to Tanenbaum before and decided to start the series in order. No Lesser Plea is nice first book. It sets the characters well. I mostly likely will listen to a few more books then decide if I will continue with the series. Tanenbaum and Burns may grow on me but at this time they aren't my favorite.
"Hope this isn't the last"
Sandford did it again in my book. Simply love his style. Flowers is a lot softer than Davenport but don't let that put you off. Sandford gives Flowere's just as much brain power as Davenport. Good story great narrator all around good read.
"Poor Virgil"
This is a keeper. Virgil is so human. Sandford's Virgil Flower is a great down to earth kind of a guy. Sandford leaves enough out to keep you guessing but not so much that you lose interest. I suspected the ending but it was funny how Sandford pulled it off. Poor Virgil.
"You betch ya"
Lucas Davenport is still the big dog in Sandford's writings but Virgil Flowers is a very close second. I may actually like the Flowers series as well if not better than the Prey series. Heat Lighting is a very good read/listen. Nice work Sandford. Thank you.
"The Field"
I listen to audio books at an insane rate. If a reader of many books is a book worm I must be a "tape worm". There a lot of great authors and narrators. Sometimes they actually come together on the same series. Boy oh boy did they ever in Sandford's the Prey series. This is the last title that audible has in their listing as of 10/14. I enjoyed the complete series and the Field of Prey was no exception. If you are a fan of Sandford's you will love this one. Enjoy.

I have always had such good service at this location. They were prompt in notifying me when there was an issue with possible water damage. They assisted me in pulling out my items and checking for the damage and re-boxing the items that were in damaged boxes. I was lucky nothing was damaged beyond the boxes, but feel that if there had been damage I would have been compensated fairly. Love dealing with Mary and her staff!Barbara from Riverhead, NY

If we were Taylor Swift's BFF, this would probably be the time when we'd sit her down over a mochaccino and ask if she's sure about hooking her wagon to the Kennedy clan. After all, the family doesn't have the best track record with famous blondes (*cough* Marilyn Monroe *cough*).
Turns out Taylor's weekend with 18-year-old boyfriend Conor Kennedy wasn't all dockside kisses and moving moments by his late mother's graveside. It also sparked a public feud, with the country cutie-pie accused of crashing a family wedding.
On Saturday, Taylor, 22, joined Conor at the Boston nuptials of his cousin, Kyle Kennedy, to Liam Kerr, an appearance that didn't sit well with the mother of the bride, who gripes to the Boston Herald that she asked the famous but unwelcome guest to leave.
Victoria Gifford Kennedy (wife of the late Michael Kennedy and daughter of Kathie Lee Gifford's husband, Frank) tattles to the paper that Conor was invited to the wedding but committed the cardinal sin of failing to RSVP, so when he texted her an hour before the reception and asked if he and Swift could attend, she (understandably) told them no.
"I responded with a very clear, 'Please do not come.' They came anyway," huffs Victoria. "I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me."
Or maybe she was having the proverbial deer-caught-in-headlights reaction to a member of her boyfriend's family telling her not to let the door hit her on the way out.
Mrs. Kennedy apparently didn't want the chart-topper stealing the bride's thunder, and a source at the swanky Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel confirms to the paper that Swift, who caused a "mild commotion" in the lobby when she arrived, was indeed told to beat it.
According to Kathie Lee, Taylor was at the reception for only a "very, very short time," although the budding lovebirds apparently returned later to dance up a storm. Gifford also pointed out to co-host Hoda Kotb that Conor is still in high school, adding with a laugh, "They seem very happy together. Who am I to judge anyone?"
Either way, the alleged nuptial banishment is news to Taylor's rep, who insists nothing of the sort happened.
"There is no truth to that," the mouthpiece tells the Herald. "Taylor was invited to the wedding, and the bride thanked her profusely for being there."
Chances are, Victoria will soon get an earful from family matriarch Ethel Kennedy, who, when asked recently about the possibility of Swift one day joining the family, enthused, "We should be so lucky!"
The day after the wedding, Swift joined her boyfriend and several members of the Kennedy clan at Mass, which was followed by a visit to the grave of Conor's mom, Mary, who committed suicide in May.
As for swirling reports that Taylor plunked down $5 million for a Hyannis Port, Mass., house across from the Kennedy compound, a local outlet insists it's not true, and says the property was actually scooped up by a New York hedge fund manager.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gather in galleries
Cool art shows a great way to escape stifling summer nights
With musicians flocking to Birds Hill Park for the folk festival and actors madly rehearsing for the fringe festival, this is a quiet week for the performing arts in Winnipeg.
But it's a lively time for visual art, with a diverse palette of gallery shows opening tonight or currently on view. Here's a look at four exhibitions you can check out free of charge.
The cre8ery and Mayberry Fine Art shows will be open for First Fridays, the free self-guided art walk that takes place in the Exchange District on the first Friday of each month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. (Download the July 6 guide from www.firstfridayswinnipeg.org)
The Plug In show, though it's not in the Exchange, is also open Friday until 9 p.m. And most of these galleries are air-conditioned, so you can get cultured and cool at the same time.
Cre8ery, 125 Adelaide St.
Opening reception tonight at 7:30; to July 14
THE northern mining city of Flin Flon is known for exporting musicals, but now it can expand its artistic bragging rights. BOREALism is the first exhibition by a collective of Flin Flon artists to be crated up and shown in Winnipeg.
Thirteen artists are showing a total of 52 works, including acrylic, oil and watercolour paintings, batik, collage, encaustic, pottery, sculpture and photography. Five of the artists will attend tonight's opening. Most of the works are for sale.
The show blossomed out of a renewal project: the founding in 2010 of the Northern Visual Arts Centre (NorVA). A Flin Flon store called Johnny's, famous for its lunch counter, had gone out of business, says artist and NorVA president Sarah Trevor. The building was sitting empty and forlorn until a group of artists managed to reopen it as a studio and gallery with help from the local arts council, a neighbourhood revitalization grant and Hudbay Minerals, the local mining company.
NorVA is now a creative hub that hosts everything from art classes to musical open-mike nights, Trevor says. "At least two of the artists had completely stopped painting before NorVA started up, because they felt so isolated and felt there was no place to show their work," she says. "It's made such a huge difference."
The theme of BOREALism is physical and spiritual qualities of the boreal forest, including the interaction of the forest with the mining community and the healing capacity of the forest to renew itself.
Reset: Post-consumer Gamer Culture
Platform Centre for Photographic + Digital Arts, Artspace Building, to July 28
IF you grew up with a video-game controller in your hand, or if you're just curious to see how media artists are reworking yesterday's games into today's art pieces, investigate this interactive show.
Curated by a Winnipeg media artist who goes by the name mrghosty (a.k.a. Skot Deeming), Reset features works by six international artists who use the software, hardware, platforms and esthetics of video games to imagine new works.
Approaches vary from "machinima" -- the practice of creating film out of video-game footage -- to using appropriated images from 8-bit games to create stills and animated gifs.
Platform director J.J. Kegan McFadden says the nostalgia-stirring show has been attracting gamers since it opened on June 21.
"The subculture of so-called geeks has found us," he says. "They're having a lot of fun interacting with the old technology in new ways. They understand what it once was, and they're seeing what the artists have done with it now."
Visitors can play, for instance, on a Nintendo DS that's been reconfigured by artist Myfanwy Ashmore to reveal an autobiographical poem. Or they can sit on a beat-up couch in a recreated 1980s rec room and play a homemade Atari game by Atlanta-based Ian Bogost on the theme of the four seasons.
"There's no game where you play to win," says McFadden. "It's just experiential...
"People come in, look around, and say, 'I've got to come back with my girlfriend or my boyfriend -- we're gonna geek out hard!'"
Randolph Parker: Perspectives
Mayberry Fine Art, 212 McDermot Ave., ends Friday
TODAY and Friday are your last chances to catch this show and sale of 16 striking acrylic paintings by landscape artist Randolph Parker, who grew up in Ontario's Muskoka region and now lives on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
Many of the works are sweeping aerial views of the Prairies, inspired by fresh perspectives that Parker got from the vantage point of a helicopter. With titles such as Prairie Patterns and Art of the Land, the panoramic vistas of meandering rivers and patchwork fields will make you proud to be a prairie dweller.
Road Movie
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, 460 Portage Ave.
Opens tonight (artist talk 7 p.m., reception 8 p.m.); to Aug. 18
ROAD Movie, a video installation produced by the National Film Board, is described as an episodic odyssey that chronicles "lives rarely seen and voices seldom heard."
Co-directors Elle Flanders (a Toronto filmmaker and peace activist) and Tamira Sawatzky (an architect, artist and former Winnipegger) travelled the segregated roadways of Palestine's West Bank to make the video, which was well received at the Berlin and Toronto film festivals.
They interviewed ordinary Israelis, who drive on modern highways, and Palestinians, who are confined to rough tracks riddled with security checkpoints, about this aspect of their everyday lives.
The video is actually a series of photographs projected at one frame per second, as in stop-motion animation. It's accompanied by a soundscape by audio artist Anna Friz.
In the gallery, the continuously looped video is projected on three angled walls that are double-sided. Six vignettes are projected on each side, for a total of 40 minutes of viewing time. Seating is provided.
"Israeli images play on one side, Palestinian on the other," Toronto's NOW magazine said in a five-star review last year. "The imposing set-up... suggests that, though we can walk around the screens, they might at any time close into the impermeable wall that separates the two nationalities."

I would like to get expose support to Fluxbox. It can
be used in fluxbox with skippy, but it isn't very
flexible nor userfriendly. It would be a choice in
There is few example what I mean:
Terence Tong
Logged In: YES
skippy is really weak. All it does is to take screenshots
of it, paste it on the screen. It looks ugly, plain ugly. I
thought it is the animation that looks nice; not sure if it
is possible to do it with window resizing?
Mathias Gumz
Logged In: YES
of coz it takes a screenshot coz that the way it works
_without_ interfering too much with the user. sure, you
could "take a screenshot" everytime something changes in
that window but you wont have much fun then with your
xsession anymore. thats exactly the reason why xgl and aiglx
were created: the content of the windows are available in
textures and you can "resize" the windows thru ogl with no
additional cost.
and thats why i dont think fbox will have an internal skippy
or expose function. ever. not without the xgl/aiglx module
(which is far far far away)

Reboot the netbook and make sure that everything is working... Your WiFi should be working now, except that it works through the Ralink application (which occasionally drops the connection), rather than through the standard Airport icon up in the top menu bars.
Presuming that everything is okay, use the Disk Utility application to format the netbook's hard drive, remembering to keep the GUID ID setting, and a single partion for Mac OS Journaled. Then, use SuperDuper to clone the osx-eee drive to the netbook's hard drive.
Choose "Copy: [your external HDD] to: [your internal HDD] using: Restore - all files". Make sure it is from the external USB stick to the internal drive and not the other way around. Then press "Copy Now".

Not sure whether it would work for a netbook but might be worth a look.
-5Anonymous , September 7, 2010 12:15 PMforget about linux.. you will never use that if you have mac os
6jaksun5 , September 7, 2010 2:19 PMYeah right forget linux, why care about actual productivity when it's the ride there you care about, pay money for an inferior kernel and then more money for products by getting using OSX, then play in Apple's sandpit forever while they suck you dry
2TheKurrgan , September 7, 2010 2:50 PMNo mention as to wether or not sleep works.. a function lost on most netbook/notebooks.
As to why not 10.6.3, the actual version max is 10.6.1, as they deliberately screwed the atom processor as of 10.6.2. There are however modded kernels that can be used to circumnavigate this if you're very determined. Also a much speedier way to do this would be to pull the HD and connect it to the functioning mac (Hackintosh or not, as long as USB works) and remount the HD without the noowners option. you can then do everything before booting the netbook, eliminating a few steps. While I understand its fun to play with, I dont see the point of OS X on a netbook. The OS was never designed to run on something with such low horse power, and it gets quite ragged after running very few apps, not to mention the general inefficiency of the OS at dealing with flash and what not.. you'd get a much better "Experience" for doing the various tasks on Windows since it will make good use of what little hardware these devices have, plus all the hardware will function "Properly".
As to a desktop hackintosh, pretty much ANY intel board with an ALC88x sound chip, Realtek 8xxx NIC, and modern nvidia / ATI graphics card can be made to function perfectly.
My Current build is:
Gigabyte X58-UD3R, i7 @ 4.2ghz, 12GB ram, nvidia GTX 260.
Get a 100% functional mac out of that using stock kexts..Updatable straight from apple with little fuss (Gotta update or remove sleepenabler.kext before a OS version change is all)
Absolute easiest way to dual boot with a desktop is multiple hard drives and just use chameleons selection.To dual boot on this netbook you'll need to resize the partition then install whatever OS, THEN reload chameleon to get the boot loader back. In linux you can have it install the boot loader on the partition only, meaning it should be good to go with just the chameleon loader..

If you're looking for ease of use and don't want Windows then I'd say go with the Ubuntu Netbook version and call it a day. Otherwise if you're doing it just to show you can, nice job.

1TheKurrgan , September 8, 2010 5:27 AMg00eyTHanks for you post thekurrgan! So I take it that if you use a system with an AMD CPU and an ATI GPU, then you are screwed if you want to run OSX on it, or doesn't run very well or ...?
If the ATI GPU is of a certain generation you're screwed, AMD you'd need a modded kernel.. search voodoo kernel or hit up google for insanelymac -- They have great guides there. However in most modern AMD systems its the chipset thats the show stopper or at least severe bug maker.. Snow Leopard is design for the recent line of intel chipsets (Generally speaking, any they made on the LGA775 platform) and a specific line of Nvidia ones (9000 series) -- AMD now uses their own chipset, so this makes it challenging. As for the VM, I've had limited success myself, but have not really given it a good effort. VMWare workstation would probably be the best bet, as it supports OSX Server natively, but I'm not well versed on that product outside Vsphere / Fusion.
0Anonymous , September 8, 2010 5:07 PMThe Asus 1201n is a fully supported 12" Netbook, as well as its newer brother, the 1215n.
0mayne92 , September 9, 2010 1:23 AM...or can just forget the hassle and use linux...that was hard.
1Anonymous , September 9, 2010 4:00 PMIs this guide encouraging users to break Apple's licensing of it's Operating System? And why would anyone go to these lengths when you could just stick a USB key with Windows 7 on it into the netbook, have everything work first time and have little on going support issues? Nice experiment but for my girlfriends laptop I'd rather use a supported HW & OS combination, keeps the headaches to a minimum!
0nevertell , September 9, 2010 9:57 PMYou can't use the 10.6.3 because it's kernel dropped support for intel atom's arch or something like that. I think it just didn't run on atom's anymore, because apple got fed up of people using it on something other than their hardware.
0Anonymous , September 10, 2010 9:19 PMLook at the survey at mymacnetbook.com. A lot of users are using their iPads more and more and their hackintoshed netbooks less and less.
I have to agree.

Come Dance The 'Rite Of Spring' With Us!
Originally published on Thu May 23, 2013 11:17 am
Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Rite of Spring turned Paris upside down upon its world premiere in Paris May 29, 1913 — and we're asking you to help us celebrate this groundbreaking work's centennial.
This one piece paved a new artistic path not just for musicians but for all kinds of other artists as well. In his press release for the Rite world premiere, impresario Serge Diaghilev promised that Vaslav Nijinsky's choregraphy for the Ballet Russes would "provide a new thrill that will doubtless inspire heated discussion." Well, it did far more than that. It set off a dance revolution. A century later, it's your turn to interpret this music for the here and now.
We're inviting professionals and the public alike to take the last minute of Stravinsky's inimitable score — in an exceptional performance by conductor Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra — and create a new video to go along with this music.
Two things to keep in mind:
- Rule No. 1: You have to use the music above, and you have to leave the music alone, just as we've provided it. You can't sing over it, speak over it, play over it, create your own musical arrangement, or otherwise embellish the music in any way.
- Rule No. 2: Upload your finished video to YouTube between now and May 28 using the tag #ritenpr — and we'll select some of the best submissions to feature here on NPR Music. (You can also share a link with us in the comments section of this page or tweet us @nprclassical.)
The rest is up to you. Dance, improvise movement, make a one-minute animated short: It's up to you. Dream big. Show us your creativity. Be playful, serious, witty, exuberant, whatever you want. (Keep it clean, though! And human sacrifice is strongly discouraged.)
In the days ahead, we'll be featuring some submissions to help inspire you. In the meantime, take a look at what some choreographers have historically done with Rite — and have fun! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

I've been reading a lot lately about using the d2vzw on prepaid plans. Mainly straight talk and now pageplus.. I understand it is possible to use either and keep 3g. But according to the tutorial videos on pageplus, you don't need the donor verizon phones or the donor straight talk cheapies.
In something I read in another carriers forum I think but still the sgs3, they were recommending stuff like carbon and liquid and maybe another but those were the two that stood out. I'm currrently on either nameless or slimrom. I remember slimrom adding something to do with straight talk but forgot what it was. I know with the vzw model is kind of finicky.
If I spend the thirty bucks on a tw rom to program the phone remotely or , If I try it myself with the cdma tool which I have no idea how much it is. I'm under the impression that I can get 3g data, and at the moment I'm not around 4g or lte regularly. But being unemployed still, (prospects now thought, YAY), I need to reduce and cut where I can. And 150-160 a month for two phones without unlimited data is horse****.
I'm wanting to try the pageplus because it seems more straightforward, and is cheaper if I get the 500Mb plan. I don't use a lot of data anyway. I could save a fortune.
Anyway, and suggestions, advice, or answers as to whether or not I can be a flashaholic after the switch, again, I'm usually on either nameless or slim, or testing a new TW rom.
in the past, when my dx screwed up, I was taught by a guy, how to program it myself without having to call verzion everytime I screwed something up with activation accidentally. But, I simply installed a stock based rom for the programmable dial pad, activated, then flashed my aosp variant of my choosing.
I'm thinking this could work similar especially if I save most all the settings. for the network just in case, something goes wrong.
Again any info at all will be appreciated. If you know a better way, let me know. I know I could use gsm with straight talk and use att towers, but I prefer cdma coverage in my area since it's got way more coverage across more states.
Many thanks again

Commenting on the impact of policies like quantitative easing and ultra low interest rates, Lagarde said such moves were not "supposed to last forever".
The IMF quota reforms seek to provide greater say to EMs at the Fund, where the US and large European countries command high influence.
International Monetary Fund will be "delighted" to cooperate with the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), said IMF's Christine Lagarde.
"As a principle, collective endeavours are welcome but at the same time a debt is a debt and it is a contract," IMF MD Christine Lagarde said.
A sharp drop in oil prices & a stronger US economy will not be enough to brighten outlook for global economic growth this year, Christine Lagarde said.
Accommodative monetary policy will remain necessary for as long as global growth remains weak, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said in a report.
The success of Greece's reform plan depends on the framework that is put in place and how the overhaul is implemented, Lagarde said.
In addition to meeting the Prime Minister, Lagarde is also expected to meet Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

US Senate
BISMARCK, (AP) -- North Dakota voters elected Gov. John Hoeven to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, making him the state's first Republican senator in a quarter-century.
Hoeven coasted past poorly funded Democrat Tracy Potter for the Senate seat now held by retiring Democrat Byron Dorgan. With 35 percent of precincts reporting, Hoeven had 78 percent of the votes, and Potter had 21 percent.

The market in importing waste to burn in Norwegian incinerators is growing
For a country blessed with bountiful oil supplies, it may appear incongruous. But Norway is importing as much rubbish as it can get its hands on, in an effort to generate more energy by burning waste in vast incinerators.
The UK paid to send 45,000 tonnes of household waste from Bristol and Leeds to Norway between October 2012 and April this year. "Waste has become a commodity," says Pal Spillum, head of waste recovery at the Climate and Pollution Agency in Norway. "There is a big European market for this, so much so that the Norwegians are accepting rubbish from other countries to feed the incinerator." Norway is not alone. Germany ranks top in terms of importing rubbish, ahead of Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. But it's Norway that boasts the largest share of waste to energy in district heat production.
Oslo's waste incinerator was built with extra capacity to cater for future growth. ""Europe as a whole currently dumps 150m tonnes of waste in landfills every year, so there is clearly great potential in using waste for energy," says Christoffer Back Vestli of the Oslo municipality.
There are worries that burning rubbish may discourage recycling. Julian Kirby, of Friends of the Earth, says: "Waste for energy isn't as green as it's made out to be. We estimate that 80% of what's in the average waste stream is easily recyclable." But most residents seem comfortable with the idea of burning waste to create fuel, with 71% of the population supporting the renewable energy source. Oistein Thomassen, a photographer from the city, says: "We produce insane amounts of waste every day, so why not use waste as fuel for heat?"— © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2013
Norwegians are meticulous about their waste and divide household rubbish into three bags — blue for plastic to be recycled, green for food waste to make biogas and white for everything else that goes to the waste plant. But many are concerned that the rubbish being imported from the UK and Ireland may not be so carefully sorted.

Google Adds Local Reviews In Search Results
The Google Blog announced that when you conduct searches at Google.com for local specific information, you may get local reviews and business comparisons. For example a search on pizza 10010 returns three results, all with five stars, from pizza restaurants in NYC. Here is a screen capture:
It also works with movies 10010.
On the business front, a search on web 10901, brings up a local result for my business (RustyBrick) and two of my competitors, with no reviews.
Other search engines return similar results. For example, Ask.com for a search on pizza 10010 brings up 3 local results with refinements at the bottom that direct you to Ask City with reviews and more. Also, Yahoo Search has reviews and three local listings for a search on pizza 10010.
SMX Advanced is the only conference designed exclusively for experienced paid search advertisers and SEOs. You'll participate in experts-only sessions and network with fellow internet marketing thought leaders. Check out the tactic-packed agenda!
