Social landlord's survey reveals tenants' issues
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
50,000 third sector organisations have their say in national survey
One of England's biggest social landlords has revealed the results of a tenant survey that was designed to find out about the issues affecting residents' lives.
Published today in its summary report - 'The Index 2013' - Affinity Sutton says its findings offer key insights into the challenges tenants are facing.
The report reveals that:
- Internet access amongst Affinity Sutton's tenants has increased from 69% in 2012 to 74% in 2013, still below the national figure of 83%.
- 72% of those in receipt of benefits (other than pensions) were unaware of the introduction of universal credit in 2012. In 2013 the figure fell to 38%.
- 43% of tenants used prepayment meters to pay for energy, the most expensive way to pay for energy, compared to 14% and 16% UK-wide for gas and electricity respectively.
- In 2012 just 3% of residents had used a catalogue or weekly payment store but in 2013 this had increased to 13%.
- In 2012, 36% of residents agreed that young people had a positive impact in their area and in 2013 this had risen to 41%.
- People aged 55-64 are markedly more worried on a range of issues than other age groups.
In her foreword to the report, resident board member Pam Bardouille writes: "This survey helps us understand more about the bigger picture – how the external environment is affecting our residents and where we can most effectively target our resources in response.
"It's gratifying to see where our efforts are paying off in comparison with the 2012 survey. Considerably more residents who are receiving benefits are aware of Universal Credit for example, and there's an increased perception that young people have a positive impact in their local area…It's also good that following our Get Connected digital inclusion campaign internet access among residents has increased but this is still below the national figure so there's plenty of scope to build on this work."
Affinity Sutton commissioned DJS Research Ltd to survey 1,000 random tenants over the telephone. In order to ensure the survey was inclusive, telephone calls were also made during evenings and weekends to capture results from in-work residents.

A man banned from high school sporting events in five states for jumping on the backs of athletes at games brought his antics to the Quad-Cities.
It landed Sherwin Shayegan, 29, of Bothell, Wash., in the Scott County Jail on Thursday. By Friday afternoon, he was scrambling to get on a bus to Seattle and avoiding questions from a Quad-City Times reporter who caught up with him at the Davenport Ground Transportation Center.
"Sir, I don't want to talk about this," Shayegan said, while gesturing in the busy bus depot.
Sitting alone as his bus sat idle, Shayegan said he was "vacationing" and "passing through" the Quad-Cities. But he appeared eager to move on and keep a low profile.
The man who is not shy about jumping on athletes in front of hundreds of fans stormed off when the reporter asked to take his picture.
Dubbed the "piggyback bandit," Shayegan reportedly stuck twice on both sides of the Mississippi River.
He showed up at a Black Hawk College men's basketball game Tuesday in Moline, where he jumped on a player's back and made some inappropriate comments to referees, Coach Darren Bizarri said Friday.
Two days later, Shayegan disturbed customers at the Schnucks grocery store in Bettendorf, although he didn't jump on any backs, Schnucks spokesman Paul Simon said.
He entered the store about 4:50 p.m. Thursday and made loud noises, tried to steal a customer's food, shouted that he was autistic and interrupted employees before he was asked to leave, a police affidavit states. When he returned to the store, a manager called police.
Shayegan's criminal history goes back to 2008. His antics have gotten him banned from high school sporting events in Washington, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, the Associated Press reported last year.
He's stocky at 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 245 pounds, according to Scott County Jail records.
"He has a weird fascination with piggyback rides," Bizarri said.
Bizarri and Black Hawk's athletic director, Gary Huber, said they spotted Shayegan during the game and thought he was with the team from Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg. He showed up wearing red and blue, the other team's colors, and seemed to be helping out the team by pouring water for the players.
"He made people think he was part of someone else's program, helping them out," Huber said. He later found out Shayegan wasn't with Carl Sandburg, either.
After the game, Shayegan waited outside the Black Hawk locker room, and when 20-year-old sophomore Cody Cooley came out, he asked Cooley if he could get on his back, Huber said.
Bizarri said Shayegan seemed harmless, and Cooley went along with it. While on his back, Shayegan knocked on the referees' door, said something derogatory, got off Cooley's back and ran off, Bizarri said.
Officers from the Black Hawk College police department showed up at his room at La Quinta Inn, Moline, on Wednesday to ban him from the campus, Lt. Terry Engle said.
He was not charged in connection with the Moline incident.
Bettendorf police arrested him on two simple misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct after the Schnucks incident Thursday, and he was released on his own recognizance Friday morning.
The Quad-City Times called La Quinta Inn on Friday, and a person at the front desk said Shayegan already had checked out.
At the bus depot, Shayegan said he pleaded guilty to the Bettendorf charges, paid a $65 fine on both charges and doesn't have to return to the Quad-Cities.
Shayegan reportedly did not hurt anyone during his exploits in the Quad-Cities.
"When you put it all together, 'weird' is the best way to describe it," Bizarri said.
Brian Wellner at 12:51 p.m.
A man banned in five states for jumping on the backs of high school athletes has allegedly brought his antics to the Quad-Cities.
Bettendorf police arrested Sherwin Shayegan, 29, of Bothell, Wash., Thursday on charges he disturbed customers at Schnucks grocery store in Bettendorf, Police Chief Phil Redington said.
He was released Friday from the Scott County Jail in Davenport. Redington believes he may be staying at a hotel in Moline.
Shayegan is charged with two misdemeanor counts, including criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
He has a lengthy criminal history that goes back to 2008.
Because of his piggyback antics, he's been called the "piggyback bandit" and has been banned from high school sporting events in Washington, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, the Associated Press reported last year.
He's stocky at 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 245 pounds, according to Scott County Jail records

I did at one point tell them that before I joined their company that I was never late on my bills and that they had ruined my credit. They seem to always have an excuse why my bills were not paid.
Recently, I got kicked out of the program because they did not pay my bills on time. One of my accounts was 3 months late. I asked them what they were going to do about this. I really never got a response from them.
Then I received papers in the mail saying that American Debt Counseling was taking over my account. I was assigned a new counselor, but he resubmitted
the paperwork for me and I was denied to be on the program. He said if I added more debt that I could probably be on it. I told him I was going to pay my own bills and that this was not over yet. I also told him that FCCC not only ruined my credit, but my Christmas! He said, "Don't be upset Mrs. Eckert because it is the holiday season."
I have every bank statement, every statement that they sent that they paid my accounts and all my account statements from my creditors. I want to do something about this and I hope that everyone can get some relief from these ripoff artists.

The Fullscreen API standard defines an API for elements to display themselves fullscreen.
::backdrop pseudo-element
:fullscreen pseudo-class
All diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative, as are all sections explicitly marked non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in the normative parts of this specification are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119. For readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification. [RFC2119]
Most terminology used in this specification is from CSS, DOM, HTML, and Web IDL. [CSS] [DOM] [HTML] [WEBIDL]
The term context object means the object on which the method or attribute being discussed was called. When the context object is unambiguous, the term can be omitted.
A browsing context A is called a descendant browsing context of a browsing context B if and only if B is an ancestor browsing context of A.
All elements have an associated fullscreen flag. Unless stated otherwise it is unset.
elements have an associated
iframe fullscreen flag. Unless stated otherwise it is unset.
All documents have an associated fullscreen element. The fullscreen element is the topmost element in the document's top layer whose fullscreen flag is set, if any, and null otherwise.
To fullscreen an element within a document, set the element's fullscreen flag and add it to document's top layer.
To unfullscreen an element within a document, unset the element's fullscreen flag and iframe fullscreen flag (if any), and remove it from document's top layer.
To unfullscreen a document, unfullscreen all elements, within document's top layer, whose fullscreen flag is set.
To fully exit fullscreen a document document, run these steps:
If document's fullscreen element is null, terminate these steps.
Unfullscreen elements whose fullscreen flag is set, within document's top layer, except for document's fullscreen element.
Exit fullscreen document.
Whenever the removing steps run with an oldNode, run these steps:
Let nodes be oldNode's inclusive descendants that have their fullscreen flag set, in tree order.
For each node in nodes, run these substeps:
If node is its node document's fullscreen element, exit fullscreen that document.
Otherwise, unfullscreen node within its node document.
Whenever the unloading document cleanup steps run with a document, fully exit fullscreen document.
Fullscreen is supported if there is no previously-established user preference, security risk, or platform limitation.
An algorithm is allowed to request fullscreen if one of the following is true:
The algorithm is triggered by user activation.
The algorithm is triggered by a user generated orientation change.
partial interface Element { Promise<void> requestFullscreen(); }; partial interface Document { [LenientSetter] readonly attribute boolean fullscreenEnabled; [LenientSetter] readonly attribute Element? fullscreenElement; [LenientSetter] readonly attribute boolean fullscreen; // historical Promise<void> exitFullscreen(); attribute EventHandler onfullscreenchange; attribute EventHandler onfullscreenerror; };
promise = element . requestFullscreen()
Displays element fullscreen and fulfills promise when done.
document . fullscreenEnabled
Returns true if document has the ability to display elements fullscreen and fullscreen is supported, or false otherwise.
document . fullscreenElement
Returns document's fullscreen element.
promise = document . exitFullscreen()
Stops document's fullscreen element from being displayed fullscreen and fulfills promise when done.
A fullscreen element ready check for an element element returns true if all of the following are true, and false otherwise:

Let pending be the context object.
Let error be false.
Let promise be a new promise.
If any of the following conditions are true, set error to true:
The fullscreen element ready check for pending returns false.
This algorithm is not allowed to request fullscreen.
Return promise, and run the remaining steps in parallel.
If error is false: Resize pending's top-level browsing context's document's viewport's dimensions to match the dimensions of the screen of the output device. Optionally display a message how the end user can revert this.
As part of the next animation frame task, run these substeps:

To collect documents to unfullscreen given doc, run these steps:
If doc's top layer consists of more than a single element that has its fullscreen flag set, return the empty set.
Let docs be an ordered set consisting of doc.
While docs's last document has a browsing context container whose node document's top layer consists of a single element that has its fullscreen flag set and does not have its iframe fullscreen flag set (if any), append that node document to docs.
Return docs.
To exit fullscreen a document doc, run these steps:
Let promise be a new promise.
If doc's fullscreen element is null, reject
promise with a
TypeError exception, and return
Let resize be false.
Let docs be the result of collecting documents to unfullscreen given doc.
Let topLevelDoc be doc's top-level browsing context's document.
If topLevelDoc is in docs, set resize to true.
Return promise, and run the remaining steps in parallel.
If resize is true, resize topLevelDoc's viewport to its "normal" dimensions.
As part of the next animation frame task, run these substeps:
Let exitDocs be the result of collecting documents to unfullscreen given doc.
If resize is true and topLevelDoc is not in exitDocs,
fully exit fullscreen topLevelDoc, reject promise with a
TypeError exception, and terminate these steps.
If exitDocs is the empty set, append doc to exitDocs.
If exitDocs's last document has a browsing context container, append that browsing context container's node document to exitDocs.
Let descendantDocs be an ordered set consisting of doc's descendant browsing contexts' documents whose fullscreen element is non-null, if any, in reverse tree order.
For each descendantDoc in descendantDocs, in order, unfullscreen descendantDoc.
For each exitDoc in exitDocs, in order, unfullscreen exitDoc's fullscreen element.
For each descendantDoc in descendantDocs, in
order, fire an event named

For each exitDoc in exitDocs, in order,
fire an event named
fullscreenchange on exitDoc.
Fulfill promise with undefined.
This results in events being fired from the innermost to the outermost document.

This section is to be interpreted equivalently to the Rendering section of HTML. [HTML]
Long term CSS will define the top layer concept
and its associated
pseudo-element as part of CSS' stacking context model. Patching CSS as done
here is sketchy as hell.
This specification introduces a new stacking layer to the Elaborate description of Stacking Contexts of CSS 2.1. It is called the top layer, comes after step 10 in the painting order, and is therefore rendered closest to the user within a viewport. Each document has one associated viewport and therefore also one top layer. [CSS]
The terminology used in this and following subsection attempts to match CSS 2.1 Appendix E.
The top layer consists of an ordered set of elements, rendered in the order they have been added to the set. The last element added is rendered closest to the user.
z-index property has no effect in the
top layer.
Each element and
::backdrop pseudo-element in a
top layer has the following characteristics:
It generates a new stacking context.
Its parent stacking context is the root stacking context.
If it consists of multiple layout boxes, the first box is used.
It is rendered as an atomic unit as if it were a sibling of its root.
Ancestor elements with overflow, opacity, masks, etc. cannot affect it.
If its
position property computes to
its containing block is the viewport, and the initial containing block otherwise.
If it is an element, it and its
pseudo-element are not rendered if its
inclusive ancestor has the
display property set to
If its specified
display property is
contents, it
computes to
If its specified
position property is not
absolute or
fixed, it computes to
Its outline, if any, is to be rendered before step 10 in the painting order.
Unless overridden by another specification, its static position for
right, and
top is zero.
To add an element to a top layer, add, or move if already present, element on top of top layer.
To remove an element from a top layer, remove element from top layer.
::backdrop pseudo-element
Each element in a top layer has a
::backdrop pseudo-element.
This pseudo-element is a box rendered immediately below the element (and
above the element before the element in the set, if any), within the same
top layer.
::backdrop pseudo-element can be used
to create a backdrop that hides the underlying document for an element in a
top layer (such as an element that is displayed fullscreen).
It does not inherit from any element and is not inherited from. No restrictions are made on what properties apply to this pseudo-element either.
:fullscreen pseudo-class
pseudo-class must match any
element that has its
fullscreen flag set.
This makes it different from the
fullscreenElement API, which returns a
fullscreen element.
@namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; *|*:not(:root):fullscreen { position:fixed !important; top:0 !important; right:0 !important; bottom:0 !important; left:0 !important; margin:0 !important; box-sizing:border-box !important; min-width:0 !important; max-width:none !important; min-height:0 !important; max-height:none !important; width:100% !important; height:100% !important; transform:none !important; /* intentionally not !important */ object-fit:contain; } iframe:fullscreen { border:none !important; padding:0 !important; } ::backdrop { position:fixed; top:0; right:0; bottom:0; left:0; } *|*:not(:root):fullscreen::backdrop { background:black; }
User agents should ensure, e.g. by means of an overlay, that the end user
is aware something is displayed fullscreen. User agents should provide a
means of exiting fullscreen that always works and advertise this to the
user. This is to prevent a site from spoofing the end user by recreating the
user agent or even operating system environment when fullscreen. See also

Once I arrived back at the shop the manager assured me there was no leak and that since he did the work, it was done correct. After explaining to the manager once again he sent one of his employees out to my car who then verified there was indeed a leak. The manager agreed to fix the leak and within twenty minutes he had fixed it, or so I though.
I listened under the car once more and did not hear the leak. I assumed it was fixed and drove home only for it to start leaking again. Being frustrated and also having to go to work I decided to let it go and check back in the following day. Another problem that came up was my check engine light and after scanning my cars computer it showed an o2 sensor low voltage (lean) code. After calling around to my local shops and dealership they determined that air was somehow getting in the exhaust system before the catalytic converters.
The very next day I brought the car back to Monroe and was determined to find out why the exhaust kept leaking. The manager immediately starting giving me a bad attitude and again assured me that it wasn't his welds that were leaking. I basically told him the car was running fine before he touched it and is now throwing a code and has a pulsing leak. The manager finally got my car back on the lift and verified that there was a leak where his welds were. What he did next pushed me over the edge. Instead of fixing his leaking welds by welding them in, he used exhaust paste, which is a temporary fix and not something a reputable shop should use. At that moment I told him to scrape the paste off and weld it but he refused. I decided it was better to leave than to start an altercation and potentially get myself into trouble.
I got fed up dealing with Monroe and having my car not running right so I ordered a full exhaust system and installed it myself. Once i took off the stock system (Which Monroe had worked on) I noticed that the welds were not even complete. They were only welded on the bottom section and not on top. There was not a complete circle around the circumference of the pipes. The welder could not reach the top of the pipes so he just left them open up top.
I am very disappointed with Monroe's workmanship and customer service. I would not recommend them to anyone and I hope to get refunded for the poor quality work done to my car. I will post a link with pictures of my exhaust system and where the welds are open as soon as i get them uploaded.

This plugin is of excellent quality. I highly recommend it.
The plugin is simple and works
A great plugin to verify the age. Blocks the site, individual pages and individual posts. would love to see if it can block the category. Overall loving it.
Great work Chase.
It is simple and works well. Best among the category, after I tried them all!
I searched high and low for a plugin like this : one that simply blocks the content until the user confirms his/her age (sort of like you'd see on a blogspot.com adult site).
This one does the trick. I wish there was just a one-click "Yes, let me in" type option, but that's a simple enough modification.
Overall, quite pleased and thankful for the plugin.
Haven't got to use it, but by looking at the code I can say that this plugin is well-built, adheres to the coding standards of WordPress and is also extensible, which is awesome. Go use it!

Ever wondered if there is a way to shell out zero house tax? It is sometimes a pain on the component of genuine residence proprietors to spend massive sum for their home investments. However, as a regulation abiding citizen, you are obliged to adhere to. Anyway, taxes are employed by the government to fund all existing projects and finance all connected functions. If you very own a home, it is your obligation to spend taxes. These taxes are aside from faculty or village taxes. House taxes can be referred to as as land taxes. If you want to cease paying taxes for your houses, there are some options you can take into account.
The initial option is to promote your property. Absurd but virtually speaking, why not market your house if you don't want to spend taxes for it? Once your home is offered, the new operator will presume all duties relating to spending taxes. If you have a number of properties, you can checklist the ones you want to market then hire a great actual estate agent. When these homes are bought, you are freed from continuous spending of taxes. Now, all you have to do is preserve only qualities that you are most interested and pay for their taxes. By promoting some of your qualities, you minimize down tax value or if you market all your homes, you don't want to spend for home tax any longer.
The next step to end having to pay taxes is to rent to own the house to a tenant. This way, you can hold possession of the residence even though the tenant gets liable for paying all taxes because of on the residence. The tenant also assumes all obligation for retaining homeowners insurance policy of the residence. After the tenant fail to make payments or leaves the house, you still keep the possession. This now stops the owners to pay out home taxes on vacant homes.
If you want to be positive about your action to end paying taxes, it is smart that you check with with the nearby office of human companies. They will offer you much more details about tax exemptions and they will give you complete data about how to spend zero tax on qualities. They will aid you on your inquiry. In purchase to get audio tips, be confident to explain them your demands and request for assistance with regards to paying real residence taxes. The http://www.1commercialspace.com/ will give you information on farm exemptions, religious exemptions, and other exemptions that may qualify.

We just purchased 2 boy ragdolls from her. I'm very worried! We lost one at 3 yrs of age from hcm 6 yrs ago. I'm so sorry and know exactly how you feel. I was told the same thing. Our kittens are 8 weeks and very small especially one. Is she doing anything about this?
Date: 3rd of Sep, 2011 by Ragdoll3
Who were the parents of your sweet kitty? Was it a male? I've lost one also from HCM at age 3! It's devastating
Date: 4th of Sep, 2011 by beans77
My Leo was a male kitty. His parents were Butter and Louis from Wisconsin. Dr. Jen says that she doesn't have either one of them any more. Dr. Jen offered me 1/2 off of a kitten or a free adult ( since he died after his 12 month warrante) but I decided not to get another cat from her. I would get your kittens genetically tested for the identified gene that causes the HCM. (MYBPC3) I sent a blood sample to the north Carolina genetics lab to get Leo's blood tested. http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/vhc/csds/vcgl/index.html If his blood comes back +/+ I will be asking for my money back. I have heard from others that she has had legal trouble regarding her cats as well. To be a veterinarian and breeder and assure a customer that the genetic test is "worthless" is morally and ethically wrong. My hope is that with the results I obtain from the blood test and the emails and information I have she won't be allowed to continue to breed cats with predisposed HCM and this wont happen to others.
Date: 5th of Sep, 2011 by ragdoll23
I also had a bad experience with "Dr" J. If she really is a vet, then she is a bad vet. But honestly I don't even trust her enough to think she is a vet.
Date: 5th of Sep, 2011 by beans77
I checked her license and she is an actual vet. Although the emergency clinic where she works has gotten lots of bad reviews.
Date: 5th of Sep, 2011 by ragdoll23
He Beans. I sent a message to you about Dr. J. Not sure if you got it because I've never used this site before. I think you pick up your message on the right side of the page where it says "incoming." Please let me know if the message didnt work. I'd like to speak with you more about your experience with DR. J. I just got a kitten from her and I'm worried about his health. THanks.

I have two amazing cats that I purchased from her. Very healthy and happy!

My First call was greeted by a nice gentlemen that had confirmed me as the one being the winner, After question was drawn up if it were I or my fiance' that had won. Since we both entered seperate tickets.
He confirmed all information repeated my name and said It had to have been Me that won. Told me I would hear from them after an Anniversary at Westgate Sept 30th. Then promptly hung up the phone before i could double back and ask for more information.
I then called back . To be recieved by a very rude male. Informing me that my number was not correct and it was a mistake that I was called to begin with. Being confused I begin to tell this male the information I was given.
The man then calls me a liar!! Refuses to transfer me to a supervisor when I request it. And then proceeds to tell me how many times he's been cursed at. Well! I can see why!.
He argued with me for approximately 10 minutes untill their office closed "Knowingly " i believe. Cause when I called back, To my surprise the recording came up that they were closed at 8 Central time.
Which if you do know your time zones, You know this cannot be correct ! They should not have been closed!

The 20-year-old was the fastest qualifier in the morning, before winning both her quarter-final and semi-final races in dominant fashion.
She then carried that form into the final, easing well clear of Canadian Dominique Maltais in second, while France's Chloe Trespeuch claimed a bronze medal.
And it was Olympic heartbreak once more for America's Lindsey Jacobellis, who crashed when leading her semi-final and was forced to settle for seventh place.
The 28-year-old, who has eight X-Games gold medals in snowboard cross, crashed in 2006 while leading the final, before missing a gate in the 2010 semi-finals.
Samkova's medal was her country's first in the event and their first gold of the 2014 games, making Czech Republic the 19th country to have won gold in Sochi.
And that number already equals the record for a single Winter Olympic Games, set in Vancouver four years ago.

I called the service number to cancel out and the message box was too full to accept my message. I sent an email to the service department asking for an RMA# to return the product and the reponse was that they would get back to me in a few business days. They have an on-line service chat and it seems to be half automated and half a live person. The bottom line was only an offer to keep my "free trial" at a discounted price. (The clock is ticking here.) I finally called Mineral Science directly at 866-363-6797. (Have your paperwork handy when you do get through to them!) I was lucky to be early in the call line and cancel out of the membership.
So let's see. I have spent $8.95 for all this hassle, I can return my used make-up (although I didn't use it) for another shipping fee, and I get to keep my cheap little make-up case as a "free gift." I wonder if the "free" make-up I received was used by someone else who had to return it! By the way, I ordered this bad deal through responding to a survey on CNN.com. Beware. (I have a pop-up blocker.)

This edition, released by Home Vision Entertainment, has a good transfer and picture quality, and the film also boasts a very good score. The music is especially powerful near the end of the film. Overall, it is a must for anyone who likes yakuza films, film noir, or Japanese cinema.
The movie explores two people, a criminal and a criminal wannabe, who both seek a fast life they know is meaningless, who want to find something more even as their gut tells them there is nothing more to be found. The power of the film shows how easily people can be fooled by, and try to fill their live's with, superficial actions that provide only a temporary rush and escape. The characters know this, but feel life's other options are just as pointless or beyond their reach. Ryo Ikebe puts in a strong performance and oozes cool, I'm not sure why I haven't seen him in more leading man roles.
It is easy for the viewer to get seduced by the superficial highs as well, as you find yourself rooting for two very charismatic people who, while not outright evil, are certainly not trying to leave any meaningful mark on the world (being a killer doesn't help much of course). They know it is all a facade however, on the one hand feeling they should try to live the "decent life", but not enough to run the risk of being mired in the tedium of everyday catchings.
The 1960's Japanese gangster world of gambling is interesting, including playing some games I had never seen before, but serves mostly as a convenient backdrop to a movie that is primarilly about the human condition. Don't expect any happy endings here.Read more ›
Rating = ***
Director: Masahiro Shinoda
Producers: Masao Shirai et al.
Film = solid three (3) stars; cinematography/lighting = four (4) stars; score = 3.5 stars. Director Masahiro Shinoda demonstrates his complete mastery of all components of the film medium and proceeds to demonstrate the loss of his creative talents (and mastery) in the same movie! He delivers a binary film consisting of two acts. Act One (roughly the first half of the movie) is taunt with fresh, edgy suspense and excitement as well as excellent direction. Act Two becomes perfunctory; surprisingly, it fails to build on the momentum Shinoda has heretofore created. Much of this disappointment is due to diminished "directorial energy," excessive repetition, and repeated telegraphing of how the movie will end. The plot is centered on a high-priced daytime hooker with a death wish she demonstrates by her nocturnal activities (including careless high-stakes gambling in dangerous [all-male] gangster environments, high-speed auto racing on city streets, and a growing interest in narcotics). The day-to-day machinations of low-to-mid level yakuza gangs provide a backdrop with card gambling activities vividly (and repeatedly) portrayed, prostitution (of course), and the occasional murder of a rival gang member. Line deliveries are riddled with clues (i.e., telegraphing) as to how this story will end. Act Two includes a dream sequence which only serves to underline what will eventually happen (and seems to have been inserted for audience members who are really, really slow on the uptake!). Talented character actors provide the major element of menace elicited by the film.Read more ›

I have been using this system for about a month. It takes a bit of time to get use to, but it is a good bit of software. 8.1 should be even better. Its strength, across the board, in mobile devices is obvious. I suspect that most criticism comes from people that have not used it.
Corporate America sure is avoiding it like plague. I have touched it and hate it, and as a systems professional I TOTALLY ENDORSE WINDOWS 7. Which has excellent security and features and is being ignored by Microsoft. Windows 8 is the Ballmer version of OS/2 WARP. Anybody remember that failed project which IBM refused to abandon for years.
I think we see a shill here.
I am also one of those people that have had good experiences with Windows 8. Steve Jobs forced MSFT's hand with iPhones and iTablets that worked successfully beyond anybody's expectations. 8.0 came on too fast because MSFT was, and still, is playing catch-up.
8.1, being universal, will bring MSFT back into the game and narrow the gap. With Ballmer on his way out, and a new corporate structure in place, MSFT stock will see new all time highs in 2014. Enterprise and games are still dominate for MSFT. The trick is to maintain (or bring back) all of the good feature of Windows 7, while expanding the mobile features of Windows 8. That is the focus of Windows 8.1, and cloud development.
WINDOW 8 is in my opinion the # 1 window. Why? a) Faster b) security is a lot better c) easy to move around ( after you learn ). Window 8.1 will be even better
Sentiment: Strong Buy
No, the problem is that the Metro has no real place for use on a desktop, and it clunky to use with keyboard and mouse. It can possibly be modified in the future to work better. On the WP8 and tablet side of things, the problem is in app availability. You need more than the basics, such as local news and road reporting apps, which are not being written to Microsoft, but are available on iOS and Android. So there are issues on both sides. Does the new Win8 OS do better in some respects -- yes, certainly does. Can phones run on WP software efficiently - yes most certainly. A lot of work ahead in catching up. They may want to separate the two environments and hopefully find more people interested in writing of apps. The base is OK, but it is simply done wrong otherwise.

Jodha Akbar: 3rd June; Chand Begum And Shanaz's Stories Revealed (Pics)
Jodha Akbar 3rd June written episode: Maha Manga recalls the incidents connected to Chand Begum—the day when she attacked her, to know the information about the hidden treasure of Humayun. Chand Begum denied disclosing it, as she thought that it was kept for her child only. Maham threatened her with a dagger.
Chand flew to Gauhar's room and Maham followed her. As Gauhar tried to stop Maham, she killed Gauhar. And suddenly there was an attack on the Mughal palace, by Sher Shah Suri's men. Hearing the ruckus outside, Maham came out and saw everyone running here and there. She lost Chand Begum and thought that she was dead.
After some years, when Sher Shah's reign was over and the Mughal Kingdom was established again, Maham discovered Chand Begum suddenly—completely shattered and insane, with a doll which she considered to be her child. She could not identify Maham.
Maham also found that Chand Begum was obsessed with the 'child' and understood that it was her weak point. She captivated her telling lies and making false promises, to know the secrets of the treasures.
Shahnaz meets her mother after a long time. The old lady is worried for her daughter as she has been involved in a dangerous mission. Shahnaz assures her that she will keep herself away from all dangers.
Shahnaz recalls how she found Jodha in the Mathura Ashram, crying in front of Kanha. She understood that she could use her to reach Akbar. And she became able to enter the Mughal palace. Shahnaz tells her mother that she has taken the guise of a mad woman, so that no one can harm her. She vows to take revenge on Akbar and ruin him!

Bradley Whitford
Jump to
Though originally a supporting player in various film and television projects, actor Bradley Whitford emerged as an Emmy Award-winning lead performer on the critically acclaimed political drama, "The West Wing" (NBC, 1999-2006). Prior to his seven season run on that beloved program, Whitford made a small name for himself, usually as an arrogant yuppie type in films like "Adventures in Babysitting" (1987) and "Billy Madison" (1995). He also excelled on the stage, delivering standout performances in "Romeo and Juliet" (1988) and in the original production of "A Few Good Men" (1989), which introduced the actor to "The West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. In fact, Whitford became something of a Sorkin player, returning to star in the writer-playwright's critically acclaimed, but ultimately failed drama about the goings-on of a flailing late night sketch show, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" (NBC, 2006-07). Always one to talk about his political views, which were firmly planted on the liberal side of the spectrum, Whitford was often called upon to express his opinions on talk shows like "Real Time with Bill Maher" (HBO, 2003- ) and even co-host a radio talk show on Air America. But his bread-and-butter remained being a strong character actor who could also excel as a prominent leading man.

They are currently on their second international tour in consecutive years and are excited to be sponsored by Berklee College of Music again. Last year they performed 30 dates, including live performances on Fox 45, NBC 15, WMSE, and RTHK. This year their tour will travel from Boston to New York, Ohio, California, and Hong Kong. The music is wildly improvisational, interactive and exciting. The band performs a variety of originals, free improvisations, and standards performed in a completely unique way but dripping in jazz tradition. The trio format allows the three to communicate quickly and spontaneously and showcase their agility on their instruments and as a collective group. Come experience a day of music that is energetic, beautiful, thought-provoking, and spontaneous all at once. Admission: Free Read more about Jazz Tellers Tim Coarkley Friday / August 3, 2012 / 6:00 p.m. Greenway Boston Milk Street and Atlantic Avenue Boston MA United States 02110 Tim Coakley Tim Coakley is a Boston-based pop artist who uniquely blends rock and R&B with influences of jazz and funk. Coakley started his solo career in the fall of 2010 when he began work on a two-song EP released that winter. As interest in his work grew, Coakley began work on his debut album, Drowning, released in the summer of 2011. Relocating to Boston, Coakley quickly assembled a backing band and began rehearsals for live performances, He soon released Live from the Creek, a four-part video performance with guitarist Alex Palazzo. During this time Coakley wrote and began preproduction on four new songs to be recorded in early 2012. Coakley is currently focusing on showcasing his band through out the North East to promote his new music. Admission: Free Read more about Tim Coarkley Lee Dynes Thursday / August 2, 2012 / 1:00 p.m. Club Passim 47 Palmer Street Cambridge MA United States 02138 Lee Dynes Since moving to Boston just a short time ago, 22-year-old Lee Dynes has continued to achieve major musical milestones. After receiving a full-tuition scholarship from Berklee College of Music, Dynes began his studies with a focus in guitar performance and jazz composition. He quickly became noted for his unique and passionate guitar style, resulting in opportunities to appear at premier jazz venues across the country. Recent performances have seen Dynes at the 2009 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco as part of a west coast tour in the alt-strings group called Dr. Magpie. Later, Dynes combined musical forces with his colleagues to perform across the states as the Jazz Tellers, a trio described as "Berklee's brightest and most promising." In 2010, Dynes was invited to join the Ben Powell Quartet playing in and around Boston, including appearances at Club Passim, Salem Jazz Festival, and most notably Scullers Jazz Club, where his technical brilliance brought extended audience applause. Great stage performances are nothing new for Lee Dynes. At a very young age, he picked up his dad's guitar and his life changed. He absorbed the sounds of blues, rock, and heavy metal while also being exposed to his father's roots: bluegrass and the best of American acoustic. After he heard a Joe Pass recording, his relationship with jazz music began and grew rapidly. Dynes's talent as a guitarist was evident, leading him to be named a "prodigy" and "virtuoso." Dynes's reputation led him to play hundreds of professional gigs while still in high school. During that time he shared the stage with Jane Monheit, Dianne Shurr, Patti Austin, James Moody, and Phil Woods, and a memorable evening with master guitarist Pat Metheny, who gave him praise and support. By high school graduation, Dynes had garnered numerous awards as a guitarist and composer, including the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composers Award, National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts in Jazz Guitar, National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts in Composition, and the coveted guitar chair for the 2007 Grammy Jazz Ensemble. This past year also proved to be very exciting for Lee Dynes. Jazz Revelation Records recorded his original, "Finding Strength in Change," on the 2011 compilation CD, Octave, presenting the finest jazz composers at Berklee. In May 2011, the Jazz Tellers completed the second consecutive summer international tour with Callum MacKenzie on sax and Nate Wong on drums. Dynes is working on other musical collaborations that reflect his versatility, with the start of the Acoustic Project, a duo with mandolin virtuoso Jacob Jolliff, and his ongoing work with gyspy jazz violinist Jason Anick. As Dynes strives for excellence and originality in music, he continues to study with the masters at Berklee College of Music, including Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, Tim Miller, Dave Samuels, Dave Santoro, and David Gilmore. An outright exceptional performer, Dynes's passionate and mature improvisations inevitably bring standing ovations, which is why this guitarist, composer, and bandleader has been defined as "at the top of any list of up and coming jazz players." Admission: Free Read more about Lee Dynes The Dwells Thursday / August 30, 2012 / 1:00 p.m. Club Passim 47 Palmer Street Cambridge MA United States 02138 The Dwells The Dwells were born on the fourth of July. Paige Califano and Matthew Bean were enjoying the night on a hot, crowded Boston rooftop, but soon found themselves one floor below with some old notebooks and a guitar. Their voices blended minutes into hours, and as morning glazed the window, they both left hearing music come to life like they had never heard before. As they dove into new ideas, they slowly crafted their sound and what emerged was a neo-Americana folk duet that gave a nod to earlier genre-benders like Gram Parsons and Ryan Adams. The Dwells are a vocal swirl, drenched in memorable lyrics and infectious songwriting that pull inspiration from drama and expression in all mediums. Califano and Bean both share a passion for visual and performance arts and try to incorporate much of the same kind of experimentation and automatism into their music. Califano has been a lifelong student of the arts and grew up studying dance and music along with still and moving images. Bean earned an artist certification from the City of Boston for his photography and music work, which gave the Dwells access to large loft spaces to conduct various sonic experiments during the recording and production of their debut album. They collaborated with musician and sound designer Max Jeffers to develop a unique listening experience through creative recording techniques and expressive textures. Following the tradition of Carter-Cash, Parsons-Harris, and Welch-Rawlings, the Dwells use the medium of the duo to journey thorough genres and weave a new stitch in the warm world of acoustic music.

Now the duo will hit the road again in 2011/2012 in support of its new album, After Night Came Sun. Also appearing will be Larkin Poe. As a brand new band, Larkin Poe was looking for a way to bring friends, family, and fans along on its musical journey. Always looking to do things in its own way, the band decided to embark upon the quest of recording and releasing four seasonally themed EPs in 2010: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. After 12 months of nonstop work, all four EPs were successfully released in 2010 and continue to garner attention and good reviews internationally. The Atlanta-based Shadowboxers have a passion for captivating lyrics, tight harmonies, and soulful vocals. Founding members Scott Schwartz, Matt Lipkins, and Adam Hoffman experienced an almost-instantaneous musical compatibility when they first started jamming. Together with drummer Jaron Pearlman and bassist Benjamin Ryan Williams, they've forged a cohesive sound based on a shared reverence for the strong, taut harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel, D'Angelo, and the Beatles. This young band's unified sound has an R&B-soaked, smart perspective replete with an abundance of vocal talent and songwriting skill. In the short time the quintet has been playing together, the Shadowboxers have found a collective voice that is intelligent, soulful, and catchy.

Moneyline's New Look; Yes, Willow Bay Is an Ex-Model, but One With an M.B.A.
Published: August 7, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
Not that being attractive has ever hurt on television. And with more people interested in business news, networks are hiring on-camera talent with a popular, even glamorous, appeal. Several attractive women -- and more than a few handsome, well-coiffed men, for that matter -- cover financial news for CNBC and other television news organizations. Indeed, tabloid newspapers have nicknamed Ms. Bartiromo at CNBC ''the money honey,'' and sometimes portray Ms. Bay as a new entrant in the category.
Still, business correspondents must have more than just looks, broadcast executives say. ''A television audience has traditionally had a better acceptance of attractive people, in terms of accepting them into your home,'' said a CNBC executive producer, who spoke only on condition of anonymity. ''But the audience has to believe your anchors know what they're talking about.''
Networks are not so much seeking more attractive people as business-news correspondents and anchors, Mr. Kaplan said, as they are simply getting a wider variety of applicants. ''Business-news reporting has become big-time,'' he said. ''Those jobs are more sought-after than they were in the past, because they have more visibility.''
And even if the glamour factor rises, he said, the most important assets remain knowledge and credibility.
Ms. Bay acknowledges that she has work to do to build up her credibility.
''I do not have a wealth of experience in daily financial news reporting,'' she said in an interview at the midtown Manhattan headquarters of CNN and CNNfn, its sister ''all financial news all the time'' network. ''But I do come to this job with a background in business reporting.''
From her reporting of longer pieces on the ''CNN & Fortune'' magazine show, Ms. Bay said, she brings a desire to put business developments in context, and curiosity about ''the personalities of the players involved and how that shapes strategy, how that shapes execution, how that shapes morale and direction at companies.''
For example, in an interview for ''Moneyline'' last week with Harvey Weinstein, the co-chairman of Miramax Films, and Cathleen Black, president of Hearst Magazines, about their joint venture, Talk magazine, she put Mr. Weinstein on the spot.
''You're not known for spending lavishly, and you're also not known for being a patient man,'' Ms. Bay said to him. ''How comfortable are you about spending 30, 40 or 50 million dollars to launch this product?''
Since earlier in the interview Mr. Weinstein and Ms. Black had declined to give the start-up figures for ''Talk,'' he looked a bit taken aback. Ms. Bay had been told, she later said, by other people in the magazine industry.
She probably could have received a pretty good estimate from her husband, since Miramax, while not under Mr. Iger, is a unit of Disney. ''I could have asked him, but I don't do research at home,'' Ms. Bay said firmly.
She and Mr. Iger, who have been married since 1995 and have an 8-month-old son, Max, do not have ''a formal policy'' about what they will and will not discuss to avoid potential conflicts of interest, she said. ''We are just both very respectful of not putting each other in a precarious position,'' she said.
Perceptions of conflicts of interest also worry her. If Mr. Weinstein reported to Mr. Iger, for example, she said she would not have interviewed him. ''If I feel conflicted or there's a perception of conflict, I recuse myself, as anyone would,'' she said.
In interviews, the first thing people who have worked with Ms. Bay invariably mentioned was how hard she works -- almost as if they find that surprising.
''She's not ambitious in the 'star' sense,'' said a former colleague at ABC. ''She's 100 percent devoted to making herself better. She's absolutely intense about wanting to be prepared, to learn all she can.''
Mimi Gerbst, who heads the assignment desk at ABC News, said that Ms. Bay had ''always done whatever she was asked to do and more, and always in the most willing and most cooperative way.''
She first applied herself to learning a new field from scratch when David Stern, the N.B.A. commissioner, and his TV staff hired her as a co-host of ''N.B.A. Inside Stuff,'' along with Ahmad Rashad.
''There are similarities, especially in learning the special jargon,'' Ms. Bay said.
Mr. Kaplan sees another analogy to sports. ''Business viewers are like sports fans in that they come with a whole lot of knowledge,'' he said. ''If I'm an anchor, you have to take my word about what's in the SALT treaty, but not about who ought to start at center for the Bulls.''
CNN hopes the new anchors can appeal to average investors in this era of mass ownership of stocks, while not alienating the high-powered audience that lets ''Moneyline'' earn the highest advertising rates of any CNN show.
''You always worry about on-air chemistry,'' Mr. Kaplan said. ''But I think it will work because she is what we call a generous anchor, meaning she's willing to make someone else look good.''
