Yes. I've been reporting this problem for 2 months now. Worse is that above it states that we're hoping Apple fixes this on iOS 4.3 but I am already with the update iOS 5.0 and I still have the same problem and continue to report my iPhone 4 having the home button acting mean by freezing with both single and double clicks! It is definitely annoying! Help, please!!!!
Several of our readers (and one of our editors...) are reporting a bug where the iPhone Home Button does not always respond to single-click or double-clicks. It might be software related as most people seem to have begun noticing this problem after installing iOS 4.1. It was hoped the bug would be fixed in iOS 4.2.1 but no such luck. Other causes that have been considered include a hardware short or dust or lint getting under the button. Ally also mentions that it may be caused by the home button not being properly centred. Possible symptoms and fixes, after the break.
Is your iPhone Home Button not working properly?
Issues (intermittent)
- You single or double-click and nothing happens
- You double-click and it only registers a single click
- Do a restore from backup
- Do a clean restore
- Have your iPhone replaced
- Hope Apple fixes it in iOS 4.3
Yes, it is as bleak as it is annoying. Have you had this bug yourself? Any other fixes you've tried?

iPhone Bugs: Home Button not working?
Well it could also be u might be pressing the button to hard
Try this, found on this website: http://www.iphonestuffs4u.com/iphone-home-button-not-working/
- Open any application on the iPhone
- Press and hold the Power button till the 'Slide to Shutdown' screen appears.
- Now release the Power button and gently hold the Home button.
- In all probability, your Home button would start functioning normally again!
You Rock!!!
this is like the stupidest article I read. I thought I will find some solution here. THUMPS DOWN FOR YOU!
yes I have a solution if you don't want to buy a new phone. Use the mobility option to bypass the home button. I've blogged about it here http://southoftherivermum.com/?p=1311
you are a genius
This was awesome man, home button started working in less than 5 seconds. Thanks a ton!
killer woo deserves an award!
I had this issue about a month after getting my phone. They replaced it and now appeox. 8 months later same issue with the new phone. It seems like an issue with the button, not the os since when it doesn't work if u push really hard or really fast it usually gets back on track. Very frustrating. Will probably replace this one as well.
thanks a million i was soooo pissed off just super gently tilt the chord while plugged in and bam worked a whole lot better once in while you have to hit it a few times.
worked like a dream
i think using itrip in the car caused the pin in the phone to start the trouble
u are awesome
awesome.. 6 months of frustration gone in 6 seconds.... !!! thanks a lot...
its works.thanx for the fix!!!u r a genius!!
OMG...it really worked!!! You just made my day, its been acting up all weekend. I was cutting the phone off & cutting it back on just to get to the home screen!!! You are a genius :) Thx again!!!!
Killer Woo, that works but sometime after unplugging the cable it starts to happen again. Do you have any idea how to make it permanent?
Worked! Your good job!
Thank You!
I took a can of air duster and blew out around the button. worked fine after.
Worked! So simple, just a gentle wiggle, thanks so much! First time visitor to the site, I will be recommending to friends!
oh i'm very glad to hear that the same problem has been continuing for years! upgrade to iOs5, which has super duper additional features over the 4 series but guess what, I CAN'T EVEN F*G USE THE BASICS OF THE PHONE, plus I had to restore my phone due its continuous rebooting problem. Keep it up iphone, we LOVE you or will tow you?
Vern having this issue for about two weeks. Very annoying.
Had this with a company phone. Sent it in to Apple for repair, and they sent it back after fully restoring it and not being able to reproduce the problem. It worked for a day and then the problem started again. Thanks apple. it took 2 weeks to get the box to send it back in and then they do nothing.
wow.. to be honest I didn't think it was going to work.. but ya.. thanks man! That was driving me insane.
thanks killer woo, it did work for me! I was such a relief for me! =)
Worked for me too!! Thanks heaps!:)
I had the opposite problem. I left my phone out in the rain for a few minutes, and when I came back inside, the Home button didn't work at all. After using Activator in Cydia to set the Home button to Power button for three months, the issue became intolerable the last two days. Voice Control kept popping up and dialing random people. I tried your method, but that made the Home button constantly activate worse than before. I decided to try the opposite method by bending the USB plug downward for a few seconds. Sure enough, my Home button started working normally again for the first time in three months. Now my friends can use my phone though.
it worked for me too.. :)
So far today I have wanted to go to the home screen twice...to do so I have had to push the button about 30 times
Wow worked for me!! You should put it in the app store and charge $.99!!
Worked!! Thanks you :)
You're the freaking man! It worked for me! thanks a lot buddy!
If I may ask, how in the world did you figure that out?
I have same problem.
Yes I have it but I think it is down to wear and tear after trying anther iPhone that's new and the button on the is a crisp click and mine no longer is.
Thanks Killer Woo!
Annoying is an understatment. Will Apple replace or fix the phone if it's still under the guarantee?
The thought of nearly breaking my fingers just to scroll around this phone does not appeal to me what so ever.
it worked!
Brilliant!!!!! Worked for me!!!!
Thank you so much! Best regards from Germany! I was so horroible disappointed you made my day!!
Thank you so much! Best regards from Germany! I was so horroible disappointed you made my day!!
Worked for me! Thanks a lot man!!
i think i am in love with you....
This is because your pins are dirty. I have this problem because I keep my iPhone in my pocket and lint gets in the connector. I usually fix this by running the charger plug in and out a few times. I have just purchased a rubber plug that fits into the 30 pin connection on the bottom of the iPhone to keep the connection clean and should prevent this problem when I place my phone in my pocket. You can purchase these inexpensive plugs on ebay.
Ugh WTF mines still not working :( i been having this issue for around 10 months. I litteraly have to press the button down with my 2 thumbs just to barely getting clicking. Ima break this POS its getting me mad :/
I have this problem. I updated the firmware to 5.0.1, but it woked only for one day. The next day it started doing the same F***** thing again. I'm starting to think that the latest iphones manufacturer wasn't up to par.
wow this totally worked. thanks!
Killer Woo...genius. thanks man
i'v had this problem for months now with my 3GS and had finally given in... tried claiming on my insurance but the b*****ds wriggled their way out (thankfully it seems). tried the 'killer woo" fix with the charger... heard a lovely click but no joy. checked oldest post and saw the 'slap fix' (literally slap your phone ) and gave it a go. its working beautifully atm. this problem has been intermittent for a while so I'm not holding my breath.
Just seems its worth looking around and trying all possibilities before handing over hard earned money to those who you think are supposed to help you. apple; who charge £25 for a "single incident fee" said i needed a new phone without the mention of possible fixes.
My insurance wouldn't pay out because i hadn't notified them within 48 hours of the phone breaking; there is more to that story but i had spent those 2 days on the phone to apple trying to sort the problem as i had been told it was a software one. apparently thats not an excuse. honesty really isn't always the best policy it seems. rant over
My Home button would not respond to the single click to return to the default page but worked for everything else.
I didn't try the options in this article but I did try Killer Woo's suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work for my situation.
Then I tried a soft reset and hey presto it worked!
To do a soft reset press the power and home buttons at the same time and hold - don't let go too early or you'll just take a screen shot - keep holding until the "slide to power off" screen goes away and the apple symbol appears. Worked for me, hope it helps someone else.
Didn't work for me. :(
worked for me!!!
Have had this annoyinfg problem for the last month
hey. it's fixed by using the method below. Obviously over time the microswitch gets bent downward and the result is that no contact is made. Apple needs to find an aprpriate fix by using materials that don't "bend " . TAKE NOTICE APPLE.
Works better so far!
Omg! You are genius! It worked! I was so fed up of this! Thank you so much!
For me this did not work, I think it might be a hardware problem in my phone. I did find a way around the home button so that I won't have to replace my iPhone! It's very simple and your phone doesn't have to be jail broken:
1. switch on the code lock in Settings > General.
2. Now every time you press your power button (top of your phone) a menu opens.
3. Press emergency call > press back > enter your code > you're back in your home screen!
Works perfectly for me!
great. works a treat. thanks
Pure flippin genius!
I find that it helps if I double click and close all but a few programs. Not always. But sometimes. .
Had this issue
Tried everything, took it to apple store and they replaced handset within 5 mins
Outstanding customer service
WOW, cant try this till i get home, but I am quietly confident...............
Even if doesn't work for me, it worked for a large majority, so for that, many thanks....
Oooo, Killer Woo, clever you!
Great! :)
Awesome, Worked for me too! You are the best!
wow thxs killer, worked like a charm
My Blackberry has 42 individual buttons and they all work! Too bad Apple can't get their one to work properly.
Thanks heaps, worked for me too :)
Everyone is welcome!!! :)
Like most acts of brilliance, it was probably and accident and comprehension. Brilliant woo, Ty Ty Ty.
WOW WOWEE!!! I am very happy right now,,,after 2 weeks of DEPRESSION my phone works,,thank you guy,GENIUS,whoever you are out there,,,IT WORKED!!!!!
Youre my saviour.. It works fine in just seconds.. I was about to send it for repair tommorow but bam you did a great job...thanks dude..
Brilliant - was getting so frustrated with this problem. Well done ...
Very good advice and easy to do fixed the problem right away, thanks.
wow that was a great idea, it actually worked, past few weeks I thought I broke the home button, now thanks to you I don't have to go to the apple store to ask them the damages, thank you.
Put some rubbing alchohol on the button it helps a lot!
It didnt work for me!
Same issue, iPod touch 4g. Thanks Woo. guessing this happens over time and the switch/housing gets a little warped... also plugging in charge cable at an angle and gaming with cable in probably dont help. I could feel the home button was not totally flush anymore and it is closer now.
I am sure Apple hardware design knows about this. Probably keeps the tech team outta the loop cause they are making more money by keeping quiet. Just MHO.
Thanks Woo :).
Worked, no worries. You sir, are a genius!
Freaking Miraculous!
Dam It works.
Wow! I was so skeptical but this worked in an instant! Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks so much! You're a star!!
'click' - bingo!
Yeah some apple "genius" tolde that I should turn my wifi off and kill all my apps and reboot my phone every couple of days. The reason being that the primary use of the device is a phone and everything else is secondary. That having all these other things going on makes the system run slower and there by making the home button not work as well. I don't notice a huge difference.
I was skeptical as hell about this technique, but I'll be damned if it didn't make the home button completely functional again. Big ups to the Killer W for sharing. Cheers!
Yes it is amazing - thank you!
yes yes you know what im going to say... ty man
great advice from www.tipb.com with iPhone 4 home button problem, was just beginning to go into a depression, and a gentle tweak upwards of the cable sorted it, many thanks.
Thank You Killer Woo!!!!!
Wow, you are the man! I was depressed thinking I need a new phone. Don't have insurance and warranty expired. The trick worked like magic. No click heard but phone works like new!!!!!!!!!
didnt work
This charger tip worked for me, my iPad suddenly became hit and miss was unsure whether it was a hardware or software problem but since putting mu charger in and bending it slightly it's been perfect thanks
WOW WOW WOW !!! Worked like a harm .. a fix that takes 2 seconds !!!
Here are more detailed tips on how to do it ..
First make sure that the problem is physical.. when you click the home button several times it does not respond to you .. everything else on the phone works perfect ..
The problem is intermittent, that means most of the time the button works and one day it stops responding.
Insert the charging cable, (make sure it is not blocked to the wall)
Push the cable from the bottom to the top, as if you were trying to slightly rotate the plug around an imaginary axis where it is plugged to the phone. Very slightly, you don't want to break anything. It is better to put one finger on the bottom across the plug and your thumb right under the home button (not on the home button) instead of trying to bend the cable toward the screen with both fingers holding the plug. When you hear a click while doing that, that is when your home button if fixed. You repeat that several time if does not work from the first time.
Trying to bend the plug downwards does not do the trick.
Be patient, don't use too much force and good luck.
Yes it is amazing !!! You are a genius "Mowsow" resolved in few seconds
Thanks!! Saved me a treck to the Apple Store in the blistering NYC cold weather!
The tip worked great ! Thanks to you. The irony is that I went to the Apple store and he declared the phone dead.
genius!!!! worked like a charm, but did take a couple tries!!! totally awesome! saved me from getting a new fone!
I have had this problem but believe it to be wear on the button and possibly muck getting inside. I have since cured the problem by switching off the phone and using an air duster around the home button. A good squirt of pressurised air seems to have cured it for now. Obviously be careful when using this method.
Wow... I thought the fix Woo suggested sounded too simple. Amazingly it's sometimes the simple things we got try 1st before over complicating matters. Great job.
Hott Damn that worked for me! Thanks Woo :)
You sir or madam are a saint! You saved my 32GB iPod touch 4th generation.
I was about to throw it out since without a home button the device was practically useless untill I bumped into your posting.
May god bless you.
Wat did u do to fix the home button?
Try cleaning out the dock port (blow on it). It worked for me.
I tried it...amazing!!!! it works... so i think that it is definitely hardware bug in iphone4,i used iphone3 about 3 years without any problem at all and was very disappointed with iphone 4(home butt.)
Holy COW!!! That's magical!!!! THANKS!!!!!
My iPad 4 home button isn't working. I've tried the recommended fixes and none of them work. Can anyone offer some advice or help here please? Thanks!
Wooo hooo.....this simple blow job, DID it for me :))))) Thank you buddy !!!!
WOO... I did your fix and my button is now back to normal... Thanks a lot bro.
BTW... for those who are looking for Killer Woo's fix. He posted here on October 12, 2011.
omggggg WOO thank you!!!!
youre a life saver.
im in shock. it acutally worked. i owe you my life!!!!
Thank you Mowsow, give me your adress to send you a tone of beer.
Home button problem solved...,,,...,,,Iphone 4 home button issue is a critical one for iphone users,its 100% hardware problem,those who encounters home button issue i have a useful solution for them....1-put your iphone 4 off. 2- remove the plastic protector off the screen if any. 3-take nail polish remover. 4-take a single match stick from the match box. 5-dip the match stick in the nail polish remover(alcohol). 6-after dipping it place it on the sides of the Home button try 4 sides make sure that a little quantity of nail polish remover(alcohol) enters the home button sides. 7-as soon the nail polish remover enters the home button push the home button for atleast 25 to 30 times quickly. 8- wait for 5 secounds. 9- start your iphone 4 and see the change.:)
I must say that Asfandyar's trick seemed to have worked for me a lot better than the charger trick. Applied the nail polish and works like brand new, no side effects so far!
You just need to do steps 1 & 8 . Just restart your phone and it will work fine. However the problem returns in a while.
Nice work, guys - the charger plug trick totally did the...trick... I guess. Home button back to new - saving me a great deal of frustration and wishing a slow painful death on my iPhone4. Defs coming back to this site if my phone decides to do anything else silly!
what the hell?! it worked! THANK YOU
I just tried this and it seems to have helped so far.
Thanks a bunch, killer woo. You're my Internet celeb hero now ;) may you have a great life! Heh
now will this work if my phone got splashed with water? my home button stopped working three hours after it got splashed i used it for about six phone calls between the water and the button stoped working i sent it to apple will they fix the button or tell me its water damage
if apple wont fix my home button due to water damage is the home button fixable somewhere else or do i need a new phone
My phone is a 4 and the iOS is 5.0 and it's not jb and mine is still doing this. I got it at AT&T does anyone know if they will take it back and give me a new one? Thanks
I have had this problem for about 5 months on my i pod touch 4g.
I was wondering could I still get my i pod touch replaced by apple
or am i out of luck. I am sure it is not an update issue for me because even though i update my ios this problem still stays.
Is there a fix to this Problem?
Does apple provide refurbished phones or new phones incase hardware issues are identified.. does anyone ahve an idea?
So we must stop holding this iPhone anymore
A solution for the brave
Hey guys I have had this problem myself with a half responsive button, I have written the below article which has fixed my home button.
I had bought a replacement button but was daunted by the job at hand in taking the phone apart. Have a read and post your comments to let others know if it helped you too. Richard applecor:apple:
http://applecor.cloudaccess.net/how-to/a-z/85-iphone-4s-non-responsive-h... on.html
I had this problem too but fixed it right after cleaning the home button. Now it works perfectly.
I don't know what exact problem is this but my home button is not working. Even the button do not get properly pressed, the flexibility in the button is very bad and it really is very annoying me while going back to my home screen.
I have a problem with it not skipping to the first page of apps, the button works fine if I want to get out of an app or double click to switch, but it doesn't work when ie. I'm on the second page and I want to go straight to the first. I have to slide through pages, or if im on the first page and I click home it doesn't go to search.
*Also if I hold the apps to move them around I can't get rid of the shaking apps. I have to push the power button then slide to unlock.
* SOO Annoying ! Hopefully they fix !!
I have an iPhone 4 (4.3.5) jailbroken and I use gevey sim and I start having this problem like 2 or 3 months ago but it happeneds just a few times and then just like a magic it start working perfectly until now.I think jailbreak is the caus of this I think its a software problem and something is stopping the button from doing the funcion.Im going to restore the iPhone and if it doesent work Im going to buy a Samsung even why i hate them lol
After reading this... I took my iphone 4 to apple and explained what was happening and after they confirmed my problem... they gave me a new phone in less than 5 minutes of me walking into the store!!!
Thanks for contributing to this thread!
Re: My Ipad's home button is no response
May 1, 2011 8:56 AM (in response to AnnaScott)
I may have had a breakthru... I started thinking what would everyone be using on their iPhone and iPad? Safari!!! So I undocked Safari from the bottom of the screen and rebooted my iPad. It instantly started working flawlessly! I ran it pushing the button often and it never missed! Single clicks, double clicks it's been working perfectly. I tried the same thing for my iPhone which was having the same issue and it also has worked perfect ever sense undocking safari, rebooting, and then it was safe to put safari back to the original location! So far all of the clicks to the home button have worked!
I just started experiencing this problem with my 3GS (it's actually a replacement phone at the moment) and i have been trying some of these techniques, but the only way to exit an app is to turn off the phone, then turn it back on. This is quite frustrating since the home button is something you need to use frequently with an iPhone.
Found a thread that suggested the following:
1. Open up stock app.
2. Hold power button until "power off" slider appears.
3. Release power button.
4. Press home button until app force closes.
5. Your home button should work now.
I did these things after a couple months on that home button getting worse and sometimes being impossible to activate. Presto, it appears to have worked!Just in case the problem resurfaces, I activated the assistant in Settings / General.
Simple fix for an unresponsive or sticking iPhone home button that requires no technical or mechanical knowledge:
I think it is by the application of cidya -> Activator. I just uninstalled a few days ago and the home button works perfectly.
GPS is really a heaven sent gadget, you can always pinpoint your exact location wherever you are ~.'
I have this problem too, all I do to fix it is blow into my phone where I put the charger and it goes back to normal
Fix it yourself, or have a repair shop fix it for you.
New Home Button: $20
Repair Shop: $30-$40
Do it yourself: Free + $20 for new button
In order to replace the home button, you would need to take a part almost the entire phone.
Sounds crazy? Hard? But not true.
This is what Apple wants you to think, so you buy a new phone, or pay a lot for repair.
The truth is, that it's very easy to fix almost anything on the iPhone, with just a little time and money (for the parts).
If you don't feel comfortable to do it yourself, fixing the home button, should cost tops $60.
If you're like me, follow this link to a step by step repair guide, and your home button is like new, in less than an hour.
If you can replace your home button yourself, you'd be able to replace almost anything after.
Good Luck!!!
Try this before trying Michelle's 'last resort' action - it honestly works in 80% of cases:
Open any application on the iPhone
Press and hold the Power button till the 'Slide to Shutdown' screen appears.
Now release the Power button and gently hold the Home button.
In all probability, your Home button would start functioning normally again.
This didn't work for me but a similar "Mechanical" solution worked for me using only a toothbrush (seriously!).
Instructions are here:http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Fix-a-broken-unresponsive-or-sticky-iPhon...
Wow That Worked.
Thanks Michelle!!!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!! =D
Had problem with start button for weeks. Went in to see g at store and could not fix and was out of warranty. Why would tthey not tell me about this wonderful solution? To make more $$? Perplexing. Thank you Michelle!! Works fine and I am happy!!!
I can't take credit for this, but it also seemed to work. Although it may have been more a mental fix that a physical, time will tell.
Plug in your iPhone Synch cable, press and hold to activate voice command, then simply cancel out. This re-activates your home button.
Hey Michelle! people like you make other people's days!!!!God bless you" seen how many people are happy about this!!!! i say bless you with more talent!
Mostly the reason for a non working home button is dirt disturbing the contacts…
you can find a lot of crazy solutions in the web – a view months ago i found http://ifixthebutton.com
it really helped me…my HB is working now for months

i'm having the same black screen problem after i updated HBC and my wii to 4.0., Every time I'm in the Wii Menu screen, I see the HBC channel, but when I start to load it the screen goes black. All other VC games and disc games work fine. I don't want to downgrade my Wii's firmware 'cos I fear I'll brick it. Just to be clear HBC was working fine before I did both updates. I was on 3.2

"What Happened?"
It was good to continue with the story, but Roy changed the voices of the characters and even how he pronounces their names. It was strange to have the familiar voice perform in such an unfamiliar way
None in this book, he changed them all up...
The pace of this book was so slow, by comparison. The narration was on pace, but off base.
Absolutely, this book is in no way a stand alone. It is almost the prologue to book 5. There are parts that feel like George is starting over completely.
"Left Stranded due to the changes"
I would rather have read this than listen to the audiobook. The narrator changed the pronunciation of many of the characters names and many of the voices of the characters changed as well.
I grew accustomed to hearing Sam Tarley's voice a certain way and there was a personality in it that help build the characters. When his voice became different in this book it became evident that I would be let down.
This was the same for many of the major characters left living after the first 3 books (Jamie, Arya, Petyr, etc.)
ehhh. I was more impressed that 3 of the main characters were no where to be found in the book.
Roy Dotrice but have him do his homework and make sure that he gave continuity to his performance.
"Weak Link"
This book is inevitable, but one must struggle through it to get to the excitement of the 5th book. Most characters that you have grown to attached to are briefly mentioned and new story branches introduced and cut off.
he was ok, i would prefer introducing a additional voice actress to handle the female parts. it seem strange with his voice.
I feel this book should have been cut from the series. It was all filler.
"Good Book, Horrible Narrator"
You Know Nothing
Jon Snow, He knows nothing. He was the most likeable character.
Decent Good voice Terrible at names.
When Jon learns about Stanis was killed, then got murdered himself
The narrator freaking changes how he pronounced the names of almost all of the characters making it very hard to listen to and especially when they were all the same in the previous books.
"What a Disappointment"
I have listened and enjoyed all of the previous books and this one had it moments, but overall it was just an exercise just so I would know where the story is going rather than actual enjoyment. Some to key characters (Tyrion, Daenerys, etc.) were not even in the book and other characters we care nothing about take up hours of time and we still don't care about them.
Bottom line is you have to listen to it, and the last half is MUCH better than the first half, but getting through it at times will be difficult.
"Littlefinger grows 2 feet and gets a deep voice."
It's been said by many already, Roy changed the voices. It's still good but I am really thinking about picking up the book for Dance with Dragons. In this volume the great voice that Petyr (and Varys) had is gone, replaced by a gruff, deep voice. Apparently in the next volume my favorite character Daenerys gets an awful crone's voice. That simply won't do.
"Too Boring - Read the Chapter Summaries Online"
I came late to the Song of Ice and Fire series, after first watching the HBO series. Initially, I tried to read A Clash of Kings, but lacked the patience and instead opted to wait for the 2nd season. Overall, in the series, Dotrice's performance is unfortunate. I appreciate that he voices each character distinctly--this is what makes an audiobook great. However, his choices range from stereotypical to absurd. Arya stark, for instance, sounds like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings. Female characters either sound like men or like goblins. But, that's beside the point for me.
In A Storm of Swords, the story, pacing, and action are all so compelling and excellent that the listener forgets about Dotrice and just enjoys the magnificent ride. Here in A Feast for Crows, the endless parade of names, titles, lands, and the constant negativity of every story and character is so one dimensional that all the listener is left with to try to redeem the book is the performance, which only serves to highlight the fact that this book probably should have remained unpublished. I have heard that Martin intended to include the content of A Feast for Crows as flashbacks in A Dance with Dragons. He should have stuck with that choice, because this is a book that probably should not have been published. Not only is the action included so sparse and uninteresting as to make the tedious reading/listening a waste of time, none of the characters included are as compelling as those left out (or dead).
The time it takes to endure this book is not as well spent as reviewing chapter summaries from other sources, then returning for A Dance with Dragons.
"The Narrator killed this one for me. I hate it."
If Roy Dotrice had continued his excellent narration from the first 3 books it would have been great. Instead, he completely destroys the immersion in this one.
The story itself is a disappointment compared to the earlier books. A LOT of time is spent on things that we just don't care about. And I mean a LOT! Half of the book involves who will become king of the Iron Islands. I just don't care that much. What happened to all of the characters that we know and love from the first 3 books?
Roy Dotrice did such an amazing job with the first 3 books, it is astounding that he messes up so completely in this one. It boggles my mind as to why he (or the producers) couldn't figure out that he was messing up the voices. Did anybody care?
I would cut all of the Iron Islands stuff and all of the new Iron Islands characters. I really don't care about them.
It is so frustrating to hear Roy mess up the voices. Sansa and Aria are high-born sisters, so why does Roy give Aria a wretched peasant voice throughout this entire book, while Sansa's accent remains "proper"? It seems that in this book, Roy can only do the wretched peasant voice and the Scottish brogue previously used for Stannis. Many of the characters in Feast for Crows share these same voices and it becomes quite confusing. Also Brienne and Samwell suddenly have the exact same voice, which is similar to Aria's wretched voice. Extremely frustrating.I wish I could get my money back for this, as I want to quit listening and just buy the paperback book.
"Are there editing errors?"
Has anyone noticed that great chunks are missing from A Storm of Swords that are showing up in A Feast for Crows? Unless Martin suddenly decided to start jumping around chronologically...
Tell us about yourself!
"Necessary part of the series"
I didn't love this book as much as I found it to be necessary to get to the next installment. Book 3 ended with some very big cliffhangers after exciting events that had taken place so when I started book for I was expecting a continuation of those events. That's not what I got and it took me a few chapters to get into what I was hearing. That's not to say this book doesn't have some "big" things happen and as I listened, it became clear how the writer is trying to bring things together. I still give it 4 stars because overall this is a very intriguing story. One item of note: It sounded like a couple of the voices changed from the previous books. That took me a minute to get used to, as well. The reader is fantastic in all the other books but I gave him 3 stars this time around because he confused me a bit with not being consistent.
I must recommend it as it is part of the series. How else would we get to book 5?
This installment was very focused on Jaime and his sister Cersei. Jaime has become one of my top 5 characters in this series.
I am reading this series and opting to not watch the TV show. The audio format is convenient but there are so many characters in the story that not having any sort of visual has proven to be difficult for me when trying to remember who is who especially when someone pops into book 4 that hasn't been mentioned since book 1. Thankfully book and subsequent TV series has become so popular that there are some pretty detailed Wikis that have been created for this series. I recommend looking a couple of them up when you start to get lost or can't remember a character or event that is now becoming a front and center plot in book 4. You'll find the history of characters and events to be helpful. Just keep in mind that the TV series isn't following the books exactly so you'll want to make sure the source you are using is regarding the books not the TV show.

Volunteers Aid Lives Shattered By Japan Disaster
By editor
As Japan continues to rebuild after last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami, many Japanese are devoting themselves to dealing with the human costs of the tragedy. Almost 20,000 people died in the disaster, but many thousands more were left injured, homeless and destitute. Doualy Xaykaothao met a group of Japanese people trying to make a difference.

Bethlehem Central School District announced during its Tuesday, Oct. 14, board of education meeting that it would be initiating a non-essential spending freeze.
Superintendent Michael Tebbano said the district is taking a proactive approach in monitoring its finances during a time of national and global economic woes. Tebbano said the school would take a series of precautionary measures to limit spending and identify areas of savings and cost avoidances.
He said all essential operations, particularly the core academic program for students, would continue without being affected. The superintendent emphasized that the district is not on the brink of a financial crisis, but he wanted to take precautions to alleviate as much of the financial burden as possible.
Tebbano said the district is putting a freeze on additional hiring and certain supply requests, as well as discontinuing professional programs outside of the district and holding other professional programs after school hours so that substitutes will not have to be used.
"We also closed off the concept of paid field trips," Tebbano said in a telephone interview, but added that field trips paid for by student fundraising would continue, as well as athletic trips and other programs such as the science lab trips.
After consultation with the board of education and district administrators, Tebbano announced the "non-essential spending guidelines" in a memo to all staff members on Friday, Oct. 10. The restrictions in the memo included moving curriculum development sessions after school and making them voluntary; close scrutiny by the superintendent and assistant superintendent for educational programs of any new hires, equipment or supplies, and conference requests, with only the most essential being granted; and the cancellation of field trips, with certain exceptions.
"In the current economic crisis, business, families and governments at all levels are making difficult financial decisions. BC is no different," Tebbano wrote to staff. "We must take proactive and precautionary measures to hold down spending and identify cost avoidances wherever possible."

Spanish investigators have described how a Bombardier CRJ200 sustained damage in a hard landing after the crew opted against a go-around owing to weather and high terrain.
The Air Nostrum aircraft (EC-ITU) had been arriving at Barcelona on a service from Badajoz, and was lining up with runway 25R on a visual approach from the south.
Air traffic controllers had already given clearance for the southerly approach because storms were forcing traffic from the north to divert.
Spanish investigation authority CIAIAC, in an interim statement, says the aircraft had approached over the sea and - while already configured for landing - was nearly 200ft (60m) above the normal glideslope 5nm (9km) from the threshold.
This excess height increased at around 4.5nm because the aircraft met a cloud layer and the first officer, who was flying, chose to stay above it. By the time the CRJ200's distance from the runway had closed to 2.8nm it was 725ft above the normal glideslope.
"[The pilots] then realised that their approach did not meet the stabilised approach criteria, meaning they had to go around," says CIAIAC.
But executing the normal go-around procedure - a climb to 3,000ft on a 246° radial - would have forced the twinjet into a storm cell.
"[The captain] also considered the possibility of going around to the right or left but ruled out both options due to the presence of mountains to the right and other aircraft to the left," adds CIAIAC.
At a distance of 1nm the aircraft was still not aligned with the centreline and was more than 600ft above the glideslope. The captain took control and deployed the speedbrakes, increasing the descent rate to around 3,000ft/min, causing the ground-proximity warning system to sound.
The CRJ200 overflew the threshold at 365ft - far above the normal 50ft - and the jet eventually landed hard, hitting the runway at 3.66g and bouncing for 2s before landing with an impact of 2.45g. None of the 38 occupants was seriously injured.
Maintenance personnel noted that the landing had resulted in structural damage to the aircraft. Cockpit-voice data was lost, however, because the recorder had remained connected when maintenance staff powered up the jet.
CIAIAC has not reached conclusions about the 30 July 2011 event but says it is evaluating human factors issues as well as matters relating to unstable approach training.

Please join us Tuesday, April 28th to review Crystal Pointe Media's website experience
Crystal Pointe Media helps authors self-publish. The company was founded by Laura Van Tyne and Tina Erwin, who wanted to self-publish one of Tina's books and, using what they learned, they now assist other authors to reach their publishing dreams.
The publishing industry has changed a lot since the inception of e-books. Not long ago, if you wanted to publish a book, you would have to find an agent who would then solicit your work to publishers. Publishers tend not to talk directly to authors – especially "first timers" or "unknowns." Even with the help of an agent, it can take years to find a publishing house that will work with you (if at all). Even then publishers frequently still take a year or more to bring your book to market and offer you a mere 10% royalty.
In this new era, you can bypass the agent and the publisher, yet still retain all of your own rights and royalties. While this sounds easy enough, it places the burden of being your own agent and publisher on you. This is where CPM can help.
CPM's goal is to assist authors to self-publish in all venues by formatting and uploading their book, giving them access to cover designers and editors, and keeping it affordable! Authors choose which services they need from CPM to achieve their publishing objectives. Crystal Pointe Media is a fee based service and does not receive any author royalties.
For this review, we will be looking at Crystal Pointe Media's website to help them optimize the experience for an author interested in their a la carte services. Their target customers are business people, teachers, and public speakers who want to further their careers.
Please join us Tuesday, March 24th to review FieldLogix's mobile experience
FieldLogix was founded in 2002 and provides a fleet management solution for companies throughout North America. The core solution consists of a "black box" that is installed in a company vehicle, which tracks the vehicle's whereabouts constantly throughout the day. The fleet users log into web and mobile apps to view where their vehicles are, what their techs are doing, and how the vehicles are being operated. In addition, the fleet users build and optimize routes to be dispatched to in vehicle navigation devices.
Beginning in 2014, FieldLogix decided to extend its offering to smartphones. It has built a smartphone application that can receive optimized routes for the technicians. This new product is called "GO" and it serves as a tool for the dispatchers to build, optimize, and dispatch routes to mobile employees. The drivers can update their status in the application as they complete their days and the dispatcher can view the current statuses in real-time in the web application. The "GO" solution is available for $14.95 per user per month.
The company also plans to extend its feature set through this new platform that offers much more flexibility than
the legacy navigation devices.
FieldLogix Objectives:
- Achieve increased scale by reducing the need for an extensive sales force.
- Reduce geographic constraints due to the need to export hardware.
- Win adoption by lower level employees (dispatchers & field techs) before management.
- Generate significant revenue
Target Audience:
Dispatchers & fleet drivers
Global Study of High Performance Product Teams
For the past three years Actuation Consulting, along with a wide array of sponsors and industry associations, has conducted a global study of product team performance. The findings from our annual study are published in a free white paper available to all. We then hit the road doing podcasts, webcasts, live presentations and video interviews from August to February. The findings of our study are widely cited and incorporated into books and publications.
Our Sponsors
As we kick-off the fourth year of the study I want to take a second and acknowledge this year's gold level sponsors without whom our efforts would not be possible.
Project Connections provides resources to help project managers, teams, functional groups and organizational leaders drive results whether it is strongly kick-starting a project, improving cross-functional collaboration, providing training and support, or implementing best practices.
Sensor Six is a leader in helping organizations prioritize product ideas based upon data, enabling roadmap creation and tracking progress in real-time.
The Authors
Part of what makes this study so unique is that it enjoys such wide support. For instance, the five contributing authors each represent a particular functional point of view.
Greg Geracie, President of Actuation Consulting, represents the product management perspective
David Heidt, Principal of Enterprise Agility and former IIBA Chicagoland chapter president, represents the business analyst community
Matt Jackson, President of Jackson Consulting, represents the voice of the project management community
Ron Lichty, Principal of Ron Lichty Consulting and co-author of Managing the Unmanageable, represents the engineering community
Sean Van Tyne, co-author of the Customer Experience Revolution, represents the user experience community
Our Promotional Partners
We also enjoy the support of a wide array of industry associations and organizations who help to distribute the survey link and provide a platform for us to communicate the findings to executives and product team members world-wide. This year's list includes:
The Boston Product Management Association (BPMA)
The Chicago Product Management Association (ChiPMA)
Orange County Product Managers (OCPM)
The IIBA Chicagoland
The Product Development and Management Association (PDMA Chicago)
The American Society for the Advancement of Project Management (asapm/IPMA USA)
Engineering Leadership Meetup Group in the San Francisco Bay Area
The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA)
The Output of Our Research Into Product Teams
Each year we ask a standard set of questions that enables us to closely monitor industry trends including product development methodology adoption rates, how product teams perceive the effectiveness of their performance, and a wide range of other topics. Additionally, we have devised a new set of questions based upon what we have learned from previous studies and what we are witnessing in the marketplace in real-time.
If you are interested in seeing last year's study – to get a sense of the output of our market research – you can download the 2014 study here.
For those of you who don't enjoy reading white papers (we know you are out there!) there are four pages of infographics summarizing key data points that are very Twitter friendly. You can access them by clicking on this link.
Want to know how your product team(s) compares to others in our database? We have free online assessments you can take which benchmark your team against others in our database so you can see where you stand. There is one for product team members and another for executives.
This year's new questions focus on user experience trends and reporting relationships, the impact an improving economy is having on product team turnover, backlog ownership and much more. We would love hear your thoughts on these subjects. You can add your voice to hundreds of others by clicking on this link. The survey takes six minutes to fill out and it's very user friendly. All responses are anonymous. There is an option to self-identify if you decide you would like to participate in future studies or be the first to receive this year's white paper.
If you provide us with your contact information you will be entered into our random drawing for a new IPad Mini!
We want to hear from you! Your perspective matters.
Authors Note: If you are interested in sponsoring future studies or learning more about this year's study you can contact us here.

Top Gear's ultimate hot hatch test...
….featuring the ultimate driver. But which car will prevail?
Posted: 22 May 2013
But, even then, the performance is two-dimensional. The gathering hit of acceleration is just one big puff (admittedly accompanied by the addictive hollow blare of exhaust gases), neither note nor force changing much as the needles whip upwards. Compare that to the Megane, which is more like a naturally aspirated car in its delivery, surging for the 6,500rpm red line, rather than backing off, knackered, at 6,000rpm.
All in all, the VXR's engine isn't as good to use as it should be, although partial blame can be laid with the daft gearing. Who needs a car that's capable of 100mph in third gear? Better, surely, to be a sprinter like the Focus.

Katherine from Santa Rosa, CA – Verified Buyer
My 16 year old son put the desk together by himself and it looks beautiful. My son needed a small desk he could do his home work at and then put every thing away when he was done. This desk fits our needs perfectly. The top is large enough to hold his laptop and a Large spiral pad or book at the same time. When the work is done the drawer holds the laptop, key board, mouse and cords perfectly and hides them all away. The lower shelf holds a small file box for all his subjects, papers and spirals just fine.
Great desk!!
Lauri from SPOKANE, WA – Verified Buyer
It is the perfect small desk. It is great for small spaces. I looked for a while for something small and yet well made, they aren't very easy to find. This desk is easy to put together, it does take about 45 min to an hour. The quality of the product is great! Pieces fit together easy. I have assembled many items of furniture but I feel anyone with the ability to use tools would do great. It is sturdy and solid and a great price!
Great Product that matches the description.
Mary from North Olmsted, OH – Verified Buyer
I ordered this as I was downsizing to a condo. I am using the 2nd bedroom as an office/guestroom/YV room and this fits perfectly. I had a friend put it together and he did it within an hour. He also knows what he is doing. I doubt I would have done it that fast. It is the perfect size for a small desk; fits my laptop, keyboard, phone just perfectly. I love the lines and the way it looks. It is a perfect piece for a small space. The crossed legs make it feel more open and the little shelf on the bottom is just wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small desk. It works in a bedroom as well as an office setting and I have had many compliments.
Writing Desk
Lawrence from San Ramon, CA – Verified Buyer
The desk arrived in a box with all pieces wrapped carefully and protected fairly well. However, there were still scratches and chipped surfaces on the table top. The desk require complete assembly of every individual piece. The assembly details were fairly complex however fastening was fairly easy with the included hardware. A few surfaces became buckled with the quick-lock hardware. As you attempt to tighten the quick-lock bolt the bolt pushes against the backside of the panel and de-laminates the panel surface. You must be careful not to overtighten the bolt but the bolt does not provide a clear indication of being secured otherwise. The drawer has roller slides but the sliding action is not very smooth. Top surface can be scratched easily so I purchased a separate custom cut glass top. Pros: Low price Cons: Not highest quality and very poor finish.
Nice looking desk
Abby from Naperville, IL – Verified Buyer
This desk took a little while to assemble. The cam locks left me a little concerned about the strength of the desk. I've put together a fair amount of furniture with cam locks, and these are the only ones that have actually bent/warped as I screwed them in. The drawer is a little stiff. Overall, nice looking and serves the purpose.
Christopher from fayetteville, NC – Verified Buyer

We love it they fit perfect and looks good.They came in great condition nothing was damage at all. Easy to put to together Pros: looks good, easy to assemble and they are nice and sturdy Cons: none
Exactly what I was looking for
Vic from Beacon, NY – Verified Buyer
This desk was exactly what I was looking for. It looks great and the construction was much stronger than I expect for the material being mostly MDF. The directions had a few mistakes, but I was able to figure it out without too much effort
Great small desk
Glenn from Redding, CT – Verified Buyer
Perfect desk for the price. At first it looks like a big job to put together, but as long as you follow the directions and lay out the pieces as shown in the diagram, you'll do fine. Its actually very sturdy and the draw works fine.
Great Desk
Sharyn from Villa Park, IL – Verified Buyer

erian from Springdale, PA – Verified Buyer
Just what I needed for my small business fits perfectly in my small nook and provides just enough room for my laptop and calendar. Easy to assemble however some of the wood pieces did have a few little cracks before I started to put together . All in all good piece for the price

The city of Denver unveiled plans Thursday to host an international contemporary art biennial in 2010, joining an ever-growing list of cities looking to boost their cultural profiles with such recurring exhibitions.
To be called the Biennial of the Americas, it will focus on art being created in North and South America. A concurrent, secondary component, an "ideas pavilion," will explore themes ranging from science to urban planning.
The city has received a $2 million grant from the Boettcher Foundation to launch what is estimated to be a $5 million to $6 million project. The remainder of the budget will be raised from private sources.
"I want to make sure that folks in Denver understand how exciting it will be," said Erin Trapp, director of Denver's Office of Cultural Affairs.
"We want to create the kind of event that folks who go to (the biennial in) São Paulo or folks who visit the Whitney Biennial or folks who go on the grand artistic tour will think about coming (to Denver), and, in 50 or 100 years, it will be de rigueur to come."
Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, director and chief curator of the Aspen Art Museum, praised Denver for trying to become more of a contemporary-art destination but questioned this approach.
"There are a lot of biennials and biennales all over the world, and it's a competitive market," she said. "I don't think what the world needs is more biennials.
There are at least 50 such exhibitions in the world already, ranging from such well-known stalwarts as the Venice Biennale and Whitney Biennial in New York City to less widely known ones such as the Biennial of Contemporary Art in Le Havre, France, and the Sharjah Biennial in the United Arab Emirates.
"As the number of international biennials, triennials and other similar art spectacles continues to rise, anyone trying to attend them all would embark on an endless art junket," wrote Ann Wilson Lloyd in The New York Times in 2002.
Denver's Office of Cultural Affairs is partnering with the Western States Arts Federation to assemble a selection committee to choose curators for both sections of the biennial. The curators will help determine the locations for the art exhibition and ideas pavilion.

Senate hears a dim forecast for newspapers' future
WASHINGTON One way to save some of the nation's struggling newspapers would be to let them become nonprofits similar to public broadcasting stations, a senator said Wednesday as editors and other journalists painted a grim future for daily print journalism.
"We need to save our community newspapers and the investigative journalism they provide," Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., told a subcommittee of the Senate's Commerce Committee.
Layoffs, closings and cutbacks have turned the nation's newspapers into an "endangered species" as readers and advertisers rush to Web sites, said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the subcommittee chairman.
Under a bill proposed by Cardin, newspapers turning to nonprofit status would no longer be able to make political endorsements but could report on all issues including political campaigns. Advertising and subscription revenue would be tax-exempt and contributions to support coverage could be tax deductible.
The proposal would allow papers to operate under the same Internal Revenue Service status that is utilized by churches, hospitals, educational institutions, public broadcasting and other nonprofit institutions, said Cardin.
Cardin has said that his aim is to preserve local papers, not large newspaper conglomerates. And he said his bill does not constitute a government bailout for papers.
Former Washington Post managing editor Steve Coll said he supports Cardin's proposal, but he does not think many papers would be able to change to nonprofit status.
"This approach is certainly no panacea," Coll said in written testimony submitted to the panel. "Even in the best case, very few of them can be expected to make this transition to nonprofit strategies."
Former Baltimore Sun reporter and TV series producer David Simon told the panel that media outlets such as newspapers need to discover a new economic model to survive and thrive. Simon created the acclaimed HBO series "The Wire," which in part explored how the news media cover – and fail to cover – political and social changes.
"High-end journalism is dying in America and unless a new economic model is achieved, it will not be reborn on the Web or anywhere else," Simon said.
Arianna Huffington, editor in chief of The Huffington Post, a Web site of opinion and news, said that despite all the hand-wringing about the decline of the newspaper industry, these are good times for news consumers.
Huffington said the future of journalism is not dependent on the future of newspapers.
"No, the future is to be found elsewhere," she said. "It is a linked economy. It is search engines. It is online advertising. It is citizen journalism and foundation-supported investigative funds. That's where the future is."
Kerry said steps must be taken so that news media can stay diverse and independent, but he wasn't sure what role government should play in those steps.
"As a means of conveying news in a timely way, paper and ink are less in vogue, eclipsed by the power, efficiency and technological elegance of the Internet," Kerry said as he opened the hearing. "But just looking at the erosion of newspapers is not the full picture; it's just one casualty of a completely shifting and churning information landscape."

Tourist Trophy PS2 ReviewTourist Trophy PS2 Review - Page 1 from TweakTown's online gaming review, article and guide content pages
Polyphony Digital. One of the most legendary game studios of all time and full of petrol loving rev heads. When Gran Turismo was released in 1995, it was hard to predict the impact the game would have on the racing genre forever and with four under their belt, PD is well equipped to move to the next generation and produce a successful PS3 game. However before that there is Tourist Trophy, a somewhat offshoot of the popular GT series, TT gives you the chance to play a GT style game except with bikes. PD have applied their crazy level of detail to the game, but for some reason it just doesn't stack up to GT4, despite being a very impressive title.
As with GT there are two main game modes - arcade racing and the Tourist Trophy. The arcade mode pretty much gives you the option to take some of the world's most expensive and exclusive bikes on some of the world's most popular bike tracks. It is worth giving this mode a play first as PD have reduced the physics in this mode as expected, and you can get away with a lot more than in the trophy mode. This is then split into either a one on one race, a normal race or time trial.
The main mode of course is the tourist trophy mode which replicates so much of GT, that if it wasn't a PD game, it would be plagiarism. Basically you begin by gaining your novice license and continuing a trend of the last few GT games, the license test has become much easier than in the original GT. There are multiple licenses to gain, but they aren't completed until further into the game. Once this is done its time to choose a bike and get racing.
As you would expect with a Polyphony Digital game there is a multitude of licenses included from a wide variety of manufacturers. The problem with the bikes is one which has followed on from GT. There is a bunch that you just won't ever want to ride, unless you own one and want to compare to the real world. As well as this, the differences in bikes are not as pronounced as it is with car. Generally they look much the same with the only difference being the performance. Of course in a game like Tourist Trophy, this is to be expected but for the casual gamer, this may come as a disappointment. However if you like bikes more than cars, then this is the game for you. In fact the whole crux of whether you will enjoy this game very much revolves around how interested in motorbikes you are in real life.
You can of course tune the bikes as well but there are a few disappointments with the game, the first being a complete lack of damage. Again this was to be expected but for manufacturers of bikes to expect us to believe you can hit a wall at 200km/hr on their bikes and bounce is ridiculous. Also while the physics and performance of the bikes are second to none, it takes a lot to actually lose your mount. The amount of times we high sided and managed to pull out of it was, quite frankly, ridiculous.
Another disappointment is the tracks. While PD have included one of the most famous tracks in Motegi, they have also resorted to using a lot of the Gran Turismo 4 tracks in Tourist Trophy which allowed them to get the game out quicker but also comes as a disappointment. However what it has allowed us to do is directly compare GT vs Tourist Trophy, and the result in general was positive. The tracks you will find from GT include New York and others. From an Australian perspective it was disappointing to not see Phillip Island, widely regarded as one of, if not the best motorbike racing track in the world due to its picturesque island setting amongst other qualities.
The visuals are also disappointing compared to GT. While GT features shiny models of some of the world's most expensive cars, Tourist Trophy goes back a little and includes fairly grainy graphics. The bikes however are individually modeled to near perfection and there are a few things which demonstrate just how much effort PD put in. For instance, when starting TT mode it asks how tall the rider is. This is so the game can calculate the physics in terms of the bike staying up right or sliding out from under the rider when taking a corner. The tracks are also detailed but nothing has been really added since the GT4 tracks. Sound effects are of course almost perfect with each bike featuring a unique, realistic sound.
Tourist Trophy is an interesting foray into the motorcycle market for Polyphony Digital but does come up a little short in areas where GT4 excelled and while it is their first bike game, PD pride themselves on producing excellent games. With one eye on GT for PS3 its easy to see why Tourist Trophy is not as good as GT4 but considering this is the game that bike fans would have been hanging out for, its a shame that it doesn't live up to its older brother.

- " Good atmosphere, especially I liked a garden. However, the hostel is located close to railway station - it is easy to getting there, but the trains are in one meter from the wall, and it is noisy. Second problem is that internet is soooooo slow, like through a dial up modem, and if your need print something, your should spend ages downloading these files, and paying for all these neverending minutes.. Also it is quite strange that reception is closed after 10 p.m.. Middle Ages. "

LuxMarine has relaunched its marine classifieds website with an all-new design, improved user interface and strong search engine optimisation (SEO).
LuxMarine managing director Ross Meadows took control of the Gold Coast based site in 2011. Mr Meadows said the site had always held appeal but the infrastructure had become out-of-date.
'Shortly after beginning the initial revamp ourselves we engaged Roger Harwood [Harwood Consultants] to complete a full rebuild of the site,' Mr Meadows said.
'Roger and his design team have created a fresh look with a very user-friendly working platform that now makes it simple for anyone to list their boat for sale, whether private or commercial customer.'
Specifically aimed at the Australian new and used vessel market, the new look website allows users to narrow their search criteria with state, category and keyword search fields.
LuxMarine.com.au will accommodate any vessel for sale but will specifically appeal to the broad-base existing and future trailerboat owners along with inshore and offshore fishing and sports boats.
'We will be offering some of the best online advertising rates on the market,' Mr Meadows said.
'With very low-cost private listings and some great commercial and corporate rates, I don't think it will be long before we see significant traffic come through the website.'
LuxMarine has built critical SEO components into the site to ensure listings are easy to find in online searches. With advanced search technology in the background and a user-friendly interface on the front, the website is designed to appeal to any online experience level.
