Best 40" LCD upgrade since my 40V2500.
By Pickle430
from Houston, TX, USA
Comments about Sony 40" Class LED 1080p Smart HDTV:
This TV is so much crisper than my old 40V2500. My 40V2500 still works flawess so I gave it to my grandparents. To get away from their old Samsung CRT's radiation. So far they love it and my grandfather loves watching NASCAR on it. I conclude that he is ecstatic about the bigger HDTV.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the third Bravia that Ive purchased and by far the best of the lot. The colors are great and seem to pop off the screen. Watching sports is great and I anxiously await the upcoming football season to check out the footbal mode on this set.

Poor Digital Tuner for OTA Reception
By JJ2D9
from Omaha, NE 68104, USA
I receive my TV channels over-the-air with a quality external antenna and cable. This TV has had a very difficult time receiving some of my local channels. And several of those received frequently suffer from image degradation/pixelation. Compared to another older HDTV which receives more channels with more consistent signal strength and using the same setup, the Sony comes in a poor and distant second. Sony was contaced about the issue but unable to resolve. A disappointment and regrettable purchase.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Samsung has a better feature
By Anonymous
from 92865
If I want to open channel 7, then I must enter 7.1. The ".1" addition is automatic on Samsung. This feature is very important since if the Sony set has not warmed to the point it demands your entry my end up as .1 or some variation depending on the number of numerals in the channel being selected. This cause the audio to make a God awful racket. I must mute for safety when selecting a channel. A real pain!
Exceptional HDTV!!!! Stunning picture and sound!!
By Viking77
from 92677
I would recommend this TV to anyone of my friends. Reasonable price and superb quality. Easy hookup and very "user friendly!" I'm looking for a Swivel TV arm bracket for my wall right now...I was hoping if anyone has any solid suggestions for one that would be compatible and an easy install for my Flat screen? I would appreciate any comments or feedback...Thank You!
Great TV
By adrianagm72
from Undisclosed
I love it's programming layout and how it stays on the last input I used. I only have one problem and that's with the AC power plug. It seems to be very sensitive and the TV shuts down if I move it.
Excellent purchase
By chen2463
from Hilton Head, SC
I had a little trouble setting up the tv and Sony customer service went far and beyond to help me. I would recommend this product to everyone. I love it. Wish I had bought it sooner.
Second Bravia that failed

Second Sony Bravia that got broken, this one within 23 days of purchase date.
Best Picture Ever
By Buppie
from 11206
The 40� (diag.) Sony W600B Series LED HDTV exemplifies some of the most spectacular and vivid colors of all screen-viewing devices currently on the market today. I recently watched The Sound of Music (1965) on Blu-ray; I must say the visual experience was simply breath taking.
A great tv.
By fpours

I love this tv. The picture is excellent. It set up easily. Connected to my wifi home network flawlessly. The apps work fine.

what we know is that
the pe is about half of the market average so just at a normal valuation
the stock price should double......
we know they are buying back about 500m of stock and debt so lets guess about all of the 200m in debt will be gone so gme is about debt free!!!
we know there are new game systems out with new games which should lead to more trade ins of old stuff, the bread and butter of gme....
we know gme provides a great footprint that is highly visable and IS
the 3rd hang out for many tweens behind school and home
we know there small low overhead stores
provide a highly fungable presance in a lower occupancy market
i.e they might be able to lower cost even more the next few years
and or will be able to continue the low cost growth they have mastered
and i long yes at a price a little higher than todays close of about 19.50
will i buy more if it keep dropping o yes i will!!!
GME has been moved every month for the last 8 months that I have watched the stock by the options market. Options exp. March 18th the company might be trying to break the option traders cycle by changing up the dates. I personally view this as a positive for stock holders.
Been 3/18 the last 2 years for Q4 report, 3/24 this time.
Interesting that GME is reporting a week later than I would expect. What to make of it?
Actually I sold at $22.5 in Jan. missed the top cause I am greedy thought we would go to $24. Then when everyone pushed the shares lower I had to buy under $20 and then last month sold the 20 covered calls. So yea I am long right now, and yea I have been long in the past, but most traders can be nimble. And we read past signs and yoy sales numbers. I think you might get your shorts down to $18 if your lucky in the next week if everything that can go wrong does. Personally I am looking at $25 by april. But even if I am wrong the $20 calls if you sell monthly net me between .50 and a dollar every month. Positive talk isn't what I want to be honest. I just want rational conversation and why bother with the name calling? Calling me an idiot demeans you.
LOL! You are just another underwater LONG that does not want to hear anything but POSITIVE talk on this board. If you must know, I have been short since $21. And if you think this this is the feel good board for longs then you are IDIOT! Try some pity on your trading account, sounds like you need it.! LMFAO!!!
Why do you post on this board? If you short GME then you should keep your thesis to yourself, and let the longs keep losing money. Either you are paid to waste time on here, which if you actually influenced anyone I would be shocked. Or you are a Short that is underwater? Did you short before Christmas? Did you short at $18 and just refuse to cover? Either way I kinda pity you.
WOW, do people really throw their hard earned money into a stock because the stock performed well in certain past months? Please tell me that you are not serious? I get it, this is a circus and the longs are CLOWNS; well you are doing a GREAT job, because I'm busting up!!
Check out the Put Options for March what do you see =)
You sir are a STOCK GENUIS! LOL!!!
Most of the things you said , you could say a year ago. People bought the stock for those reasons and they quit, they were frustrated with that stock, saying: "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" (Keynes).
However GME is around the same levels , but the EPS will rise this year to a record.The shorts are trying harder they have now 37M shares shorts.
GME increased It's market share in the US , despite of WMT, BBY, AMZN.and increased the revenue in the US despite of video games industry was down in 2010.
NPD is expecting growth in 2011 after 2 years of decline.
Digital Disturbtion is here , but it should take few years to be more senificant.The comparison between GME & BlockBuster(that people often do) is very problematic for veriaty of reasons. The demand for movies is different from the demand for video games.
GME in it's actions shows they want to grow in the digital field.2010 was good start as GME started to sell digtal add-on in stores and online.I believe we will hear in their report how those programs were doing.
Europe had tough years in 2009-2010.GME margins there are low , there is room for growth there.GME opened many stores there , but that was offset by same store sells was down.If we have growth in Europe in 2011 it will great for GME.
We have to remember that the stock price does not always reflects it's fund. espacially when you have about of 25% shares shorts.
The important thing to remember is that perception does not always equal reality. The perception is that retail gaming is dead, GME's days are numbered and in a few years time nobody will be buying boxed retail productions.
One very good example of this happening in the past I can think of it Walgreens and Drugstore.com. During the dot com boom Walgreens stock price lost about 40% of it's value due to the threat from Drugstore.com and the internet and people were saying that in soon nobody would be using drug stores and the retail model was dead. Fast forward to today, Walgreens is one of the great success stories of the market and Drugstore.com has lost something like 97% of it's value. Walgreens embraced digital in much the same way GME is doing now - slow and steady, deliberate, in a way that fits with their core business and plays to their strengths.
I'm not saying digital is not a threat and GME doesn't have to evolve. But what Dan is saying about comparisons with movies and Blockbuster is very valid - people forget that it was piracy, not the move to digital distribution that really killed Blockbuster and the music industry. Digital distribution was simply a necessary response to the threat of piracy. Same with PC games. Steam only found a market because piracy destroyed the boxed retail market and companies like GME couldn't justify so much shelf space to PC products, and Steam has done an excellent job of combating piracy.
Console gaming does not face these same challenges to the same degree.
GME definitely has work to do to bring it's model into the 21st century and challenges ahead, but they are still massively profitable, have one of the strongest brands in gaming and continue to gain market share throughout the recession. Don't forget that the economy is still struggling and unemployment is around 10% - what happens when the economic recovery truly kicks in? GME are poised to benefit strongly.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TRAP: Why you're working longer
- From: news.com.au
- October 16, 2012
- DST: The Daylight Saving Trap over summer
- Your say: Are you staying in the office longer?
- Follow us on Twitter: @newscomauHQ, @christoforpaine
IF YOU live anywhere in Australia besides Queensland, the NT and WA, your summer unofficially started last Sunday when Daylight Saving kicked in and you wound your clocks forward by an hour.
Which is good news. More time after work to catch up with friends, trips to the beach and evening drinks in the sun.
But what if, instead of enjoying the fruits of your labour and soaking up the summer months, you're simply staying back at work longer?
Richard Denniss, the executive director of the Australian Institute, says Daylight Saving makes us work longer hours.
"What happens with Daylight Saving is that one of the cues that it might be ready to go home - it's dark - changes," he told news.com.au.
"People are watching each other and watching the sun instead of watching the clock. People don't really know what hours they're expected to work."
It's been estimated that Australians donate around $70 billion worth of time to their employers each year. That's a lot of time at the end of your work day.
It's more than we donate to charity, and we're not necessarily doing our jobs any better.
"People sitting at their desks at 6 at night because they don't want to be the first to go are not at their most creative or productive," Mr Denniss said.
It makes sense. Unless you clock on and clock off at set times, your primal sense of a workday - sun up to sun down - shifts, and you end up working later. Which means you're missing the point of DST entirely.
"It's a real problem of management and a real problem of work-life balance," Mr Denniss added.
"We know that a large number of people, when they head off to work in the morning, they don't know what time they're going to finish.
"It's a roll of the dice - it's hard to make time with your friends and family, participate in team sport and basically have a life when you don't know what time you're supposed to finish."
Are you staying later in the office because the sun is still up? Let us know
But all hope isn't lost, according to Barbara Holmes, the director of Managing Work Life Balance International, a firm that runs workshops to help businesses create a more productive work environment.
If you're in an industry like banking, or in an office environment that might be draining your summer-time mojo, you can turn things around by working out what you want in terms of life balance and telling your boss.
"Work/life balance means different things to different people," she told news.com.au.
"For some people - it's about having a rewarding and fulfilling career while also having time with a family and friends. Whereas with others, the balance is more with family and work comes in behind that.
She says the key is to be proactive, but before you go charging into the corner office with a list of demands, you'll need to do some homework:
- Evaluate what you actually want out of your work and life;
- Keep a time diary for a month;
- Prepare your business case;
- Organise a time to meet with your manager
"If you're donating more time than you need to - have a discussion with their manager about your workload and ask for help to be working more efficiently," Ms Holmes said.
"You can't sit there and whinge and say you don't have it. You need to work out what you don't have or what you'd prefer to have, and take the appropriate steps."

BS of Sydney Posted at 2:32 PM October 16, 2012
What a load of crap. As if people don't work to their hours. Just like the idiots in WA who said if you have daylight savings that you actually get 1 extra hour of daylight so you have to work longer. It's amazing how daylight savings stops the sun for an hour each day. I really didn't think the extra hour came from the position of the earth relative to the sun. That is why in Winter the South Pole has complete darkness and in Summer has complete daylight.

I am not seeing how Aviary photo editor working. Does this only work for the paid images and not others?
I am not seeing how Aviary photo editor working. Does this only work for the paid images and not others?
Hi Zorro,
the photo editor did work for existing images as well before they have changed the media popup. We might change the plugin accordingly, so later you will be able to use the image editor on any image in your website. For now it still works only when you have bought an image.
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback, I will adress this straight away.
Well that stinks...lol I like the idea of having everything in one place. I also have an account with Fotila and that makes it nice. But I normally try and hunt for some free stuff first.
By the way who is they? Any ides when that feature may get put back in?
Also, can you tell me if you have to put the cation credits in when using Pixabay?
Thanks for you quick response.
Sure Zorro, free plugins helping us save time always stink. I was going to add that feature to the to-do list.
Unfortunately we do not support any free photo ressources such as Pixabay yet.
Ah I see what it is. I have it installed and so it showed up beside yours.
there is a very fix to edit ANY image in your media library with our plugin and the Aviary Editor.
Here are the steps:
1.) Go to your post and click "Add Media"
2.) Choose the image (any image) you want to edit
3.) Click on the "Edit Image" button on the right
4.) The image will get transfered into the Aviary editor, edit and save
Thanks its not a bad workaround for now until you get an upgrade. The only issue I see with it by going this way it creates a copy of the photo in media folder in order to accomplish this.
The only other thing I see its doing I am not a fan of is its adding a lot of overhead to the image and making the photo image size larger. Typically we want to keep these as small as possible for fast page load times this is also better for SEO. For example.
My original test file. 640 × 480 137 kB
After only adding text that says Zorro and saving 640 × 480 222 kB That's almost twice the size. I performed the same test using the same photo with a popular online photo editor called http://pixlr.com
and the file actually got smaller. 98K
Any thoughts with creating a way to make that editor work.
Ho Zorro,
unfortunately thats the only way to use it. The main purpose of the plugin is to buy stock photos and not to edit them. We found the Aviary editor pretty good to be a free solution for our users. The editor do create a copy of the image, because no-one wants to get his bought stock photo overwritten by the editor.
Anyhow, pixlr.com do not have a free API which we could use.

Golf Buzz
This is like a trick shot gone wrong.
During the second round of the Humana Challenge, Zach Johnson was trying to hit a shot off of the rocks. The results were, well, not good.
Related: Humana Challenge leaderboard
To make matters worse for Johnson, not only did his ball go backwards but it went into the water. He ended up with a double bogey on the hole.
He did make up for it a bit later on by holing out from bunker on the 12th hole.
And you thought Charles Barkley's golf swing was bad (you're right, it is).
But is it possible that his golf-belt game is worse?
Barkley caught some heat from good pal Kenny Smith last night during NBA on TNT coverage when he revealed his new golf belt:
Chuck's belt tonight is worse than his golf game #NBAStyle https://t.co/vFNFJiU1FQ
— NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) January 23, 2015
You've got to love Barkley. He always "owns" it.
As we all know by now, the Bryan Brothers have made incredibly difficult golf trick shots look so easy.
The truth, however, is they're not easy. In fact, more often than not, the attempt can go terribly wrong.
Like it did for these two guys:
There's nothing funnier than a guy getting hit with something below the belt (unless your said guy).
You cringe, then you laugh, like we did with this video.
Here are the Bryan Bros. to show us how it's done:
This shot is one of our first and best shots of all time!! It's our gopro bunker shot. Tag your friends who need some work on their bunker game! #golf #trickshots #bunkered
A video posted by Bryan Bros Golf (@bryanbrosgolf) on
Golfers need to "break the fishbowl" to end the fear of failure and persevere, said a prominent sports psychologist Thursday at the PGA Merchandise Show.
Birmingham-based Dr. Bhrett McCabe, a performance and sports psychologist speaking on the topic of "How your practice may actually be causing you to get worse, not better," said challenging golfers -- particularly younger ones who aren't used to failure -- how to deal with adversity is the best way to build How to Win Awareness.
McCabe used the analogy of the fishbowl to show how golfers limit themselves because of their fear of failure.
"If you buy a goldfish, it's never going to grow bigger than the size of the fishbowl," McCabe said. "Your human mind is the same way. If all you think is inside a limited space, that's all you'll ever do. We have to break the the fishbowl.
"When players come to work with us, we have a challenge. We have to assess them, find out where they are. Do they truly believe that they can overcome their success and failure? Do we believe they can persevere?"
More: Russ Ortiz's passions include golf, giving back to the community
It's what separates players with similar skill sets but different mental toughness.
"We've all seen it," McCabe said. "The kid hits it like a rock star on the range and should never struggle, and yet they shoot 5-over par. It makes no sense. Why? They don't always know how to deal with the adversity."
As a sports psychologist, it's McCabe's job to remove the mental limitations that are keeping good players from performing to their potential.
"How do we break them out of their fishbowls? We get them out of their comfort zones," McCabe said. "I want them to learn to trust their tools under various conditions, and learn how to deal with adversity and persevere."
McCabe played baseball at Louisiana State for legendary coach Skip Bertman. Recently, McCabe had a chance to sit down with his former coach and pick his brain about this very issue.
"What's the biggest factor you see in the success of your players?" McCabe asked Bertman. "He said, 'I've been coaching for 25 years and the No. 1 factor is what I call 'HWA.' It's How to Win Awareness.
"Think about that. Every player out there is a talented player. They can move a golf ball around the course. There's not much separation between Tour players. But it's the players that know how to win when it matters."
So how do you measure HWA in golf?
"It's when a golfer looks at a shot and they adapt their skill set to the shot that's at hand, rather than trying to prove they can hit the shot," McCabe said. "When a player plays for validation -- that they should hit that shot -- you're telling yourself that if you don't, it's because of an inherent flaw in you. And a player that plays for validation is always weak."
Many times, single-sport athletes don't learn how to fail. And when they find themselves in a stressful situation, they don't know how to handle the pressure effectively.
"What I find is, the players start telling me, 'I thought I was going to play well this week," McCabe said. "With all the work I've done, I should have played well.' And I hear that unbelievably bad word -- should.
"Why did you think you had a great week of practice, that you should have played well? What happens is, players are playing for their optimum experience. They've created in their minds that every round of golf that they play has to be ideal to be successful."
And McCabe said that creates unattainable expectations.
"Expectations are through the roof," McCabe said. "What they don't understand is that great performances arise from average performances. They don't arise from other great performances. The hardest round (after a great round) is the next one, because their expectations are up."
So many books on the subject deal with athletes "being in the zone," something that McCabe doesn't ascribe to.
"Why? Because it happens five percent of the time," McCabe said. "So I'm going to invest my time and energy in training my athletes how to get into the top five percent. I believe they're going to get there naturally -- by doing the other 95 percent efficiently."

BBC Review
Pallot plays with pop convention on a fourth album featuring some standout moments.
Martin Aston 2011
Brave lady, Nerina Pallot. Choosing to work with Duffy producer Bernard Butler for similarly 60s-slanted, Motown-referencing pop can't fail to raise comparisons and expectations. And given Duffy moved on to another sound/producer with diminishing returns, there's the chance someone will think Butler was the X factor in that relationship. But Pallot is a lot more experienced and tenacious than Duffy (she'd have to be to contend with Butler's hands-on approach). She's survived major label shenanigans, releasing her second album Fires independently despite having hits while on Warners (she's now signed to Geffen). And she writes, or co-writes, all her own songs; although interestingly there's not a single Butler co-write here. We're talking services-to-the-stars songcraft here.
The opening Put Your Hands Up, for example, was originally intended for Kylie Minogue (Pallot's got credits on Aphrodite). But it wouldn't sound this way if it had reached Kylie. This version is initially restrained, subtly lifted by those keening, Butler-patented strings; but 70 seconds in, it unexpectedly kicks in at twice the volume and energy, with Butler's guitar pushed up behind the beat and the auto-suggestion of liberation. It's a masterstroke, to add to the song's already inch-perfect flow. Compare that to her last album, 2009's The Graduate, whose electronic sheen lacked direction and identity (did she want to be Kylie-meets-Alanis? Probably not). Brought on board by Pallot's love of The Sound of McAlmont & Butler, our Bernard knows how to make a song swing and his guitar always responds to Pallot's nimble touch – check the zippy solo that briefly pops out of Turn Me on Again.
Even when Pallot plays with pop conventions, she's never flash or crass. If I Lost You Now's jazzy MOR chords have the classy hallmark of Hall & Oates, and This Will Be Our Year isn't far behind Raphael Saadiq's current 60s-black-hall-of-fame love fest. But the album's second half shows Pallot can be hemmed in by pop convention, when she should be breaking out. The hushed piano-ballad finale History Boys (written when pregnant, amid reports of child casualties of war) is a beauty, but the likes of I Think fall into that grey zone between rock and pop. Still, Year of the Wolf could be a commercial monster to match Duffy's if led by the right singles (Put Your Hands Up is first). But assuming she wants it, Pallot won't make the same giddy impact until she truly embraces her inner bravery.

MakeMyTrip reports $5.2M loss in Q3, decline in commission stumps air ticketing revenues
NASDAQ-listed online travel services firm MakeMyTrip (MMT) reported 5.5 per cent decline in its revenues less service costs which stood at $22.3 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012 over the year-ago period. The OTA also saw pressure on its bottom-line with net loss of $5.2 million against a marginal net profit in Q3 FY12. Overall revenues, however, rose 18.6 per cent to $63.8 million.
Decline in revenues less service costs (a crucial metric for OTAs) was led by sharp fall in sales from its key revenue earner air ticketing, which declined 22 per cent (17.2 per cent in constant currency) to $13.5 million.
Hotels and packages, which has higher margins but is smaller contributor of revenues, saw 47 per cent growth (52.4 per cent in constant currency) to $7.8 million. Other businesses comprising train ticketing and bus ticking recorded marginal growth.
"MakeMyTrip has gained significant market share in both the air ticketing and hotels and packages business during this past high season quarter," said Deep Kalra, chairman and CEO of MakeMyTrip.
Air Ticketing: Revenue from air ticketing business decreased by 33.7 per cent (29 per cent in constant currency) to $14.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 from $21.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Revenue less service costs decreased by 22 per cent to $13.5 million in the quarter. The materially higher airfares caused the gross bookings to grow by 31.1 per cent (38.4 per cent in constant currency) year on year but the decline in revenue less service costs was mainly due to decrease in net revenue margin to 5.3 per cent from 9 per cent a year ago, mainly due to reduction in airline commission.
Hotels and Packages: Revenue from hotels and packages business increased 55.2 per cent (61.3 per cent in constant currency) to $48.6 million in the quarter. Its revenue less service costs increased by 47 per cent (52.4 per cent in constant currency) to $7.8 million including contribution from Hotel Travel Group that it acquired last quarter. This was due to increase in gross bookings by 61.1 per cent (67.2 per cent in constant currency) which was partly offset by decrease in net revenue margin from 12.1 per cent in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 to 11.1 per cent in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Other Revenue: Other revenue inched up to $1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 from $0.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in the sale of online bus tickets and miscellaneous income, but was partially offset by decrease in sale of rail tickets.

Lincoln Town Car ProblemsCompressor Failure Due to Air Leaks From Air Suspension Struts and Drier
Sagging suspension can be a result of air suspension struts and/or drier leaking air. These type of air leaks can lead to failure of the air suspension compressor.
The composite (plastic) intake manifold may crack near the thermostat housing and cause a coolant leak. Ford released an updated manifold that was reinforced to prevent a recurrence. No recall was issued for this problem but Ford did extend the warranty to seven years on some models from the date of purchase.
In high dust areas, problems with the EGR system are common. The filter for the EGR solenoid may plug and cause the EGR to activate when it should not; this can cause the engine to stall. The dirty filter should be replaced to correct this concern.

It just happened out of nowhere my signals and tail lights still work. I need help.
Lincoln Town Car RecallsPotential Loss of Steering
Certain vehicles are being recalled because the upper intermediate steering shaft could separate resulting in loss of steering control. This recall includes models previously recalled under campaign #13V-385, these vehicles may have been incorrectly repaired. Dealers will inspect and replace the upper immediate shaft if necessary. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.
The intermediate shafts connect the steering column to the steering gear. Vehicles in areas where salt is used to de-ice the roads are being recalled because severe corrosion can damage the lower intermediate steering shaft. This can cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and separate at the lower steering column bearing. Separation will result in complete loss of steering ability. Dealers will replace the lower intermediate steering shaft and inspect the upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing for damage, they will be repaired or replaced as necessary. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.
Additionally, Vehicle owners located where salt is not used who have concerns regarding their steering will have a one-time option to have their vehicles inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
For vehicles modified as limousines by Executive Coach, the fuel rail shield was left off during manufacturing. The manufacturer will supply parts to vehicle owners to have installed free of charge to resolve the concern.

Use this to reduce the carbs and sugar that bloat the regular protein shake powders. Found it tastes much better with a bit of salt added to it. Try that if you dont like the taste or feel something is missing in the taste.

Local police cracking down on distracted driving
Officers in Palm Springs and La Quinta will be cracking down on drivers violating cell phone laws today as part of April's Distracted Driving Awareness Month campaign.
Today and on April 16, deputies in La Quinta will be "actively ticketing" motorists who text or operate hand-held cell phones, sheriff's Cpl. Don Olson said. Palm Springs police will do the same throughout the month, according to Sgt. Mike Kovaleff.
"We all know that talking on our cell phones while driving is distracting but that doesn't stop some people from continuing to do it," Palm Springs Police Chief Alberto Franz said. "This effort is intended to educate our community about the dangers of cell phone use while driving. We hope that once people see the statistics and realize the danger involved, they will change their driving habits to help protect themselves, their families and others on the road."
Local agencies throughout California and the California Highway Patrol are participating in the campaign, themed "It's Not Worth It!"
In California, hundreds of people have been killed and thousands seriously injured in collisions that involved at least one distracted driver, officials said. Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves, while younger, inexperienced drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes. Studies also show that texting while driving can delay a driver's reaction time as much as having a blood-alcohol content of a legally drunk driver, according to authorities.
Tickets cost a minimum $159.

I love Naples Marina and Excursions
by michelle.bermingham , 11/16/2013
I love to kayak at Naples Marina and Excursions I personally think that kayaking here was phenomenal I wouldn't go any were else the wild life and the scenery was so like going through a jungle it was so beautiful and it was just amazing the staff there were very courteous and were polite I would definitely recommend to come here and kayak. The fishing charters are very exceptional the experience is like actually being on one of those reality fishing shows you catch enormous fish I love it!!!!!! The nature tours are phenomenally excellent the tour guide gives you facts about the surrounding that are worth remembering there are a variety of tours to go on I personally think that the dolphin tour is the best you get to actually see dolphins doing some fancy tricks its awesome for all ages I love Naples Marina and Excursions!!!!
sunset paddle
by TrevorK , 01/27/2013
Recently came down from Tampa with my girlfriend to visit relatives in Naples and got talked into doing a âÂÂSunset Paddleâ with Naples Marina & Excursions. Very pleasantly surprised to find it was a great time! We rented a tandem kayak and it was actually very stable and comfortable. Had a group of about 8 kayaks with people ranging from 16-65 â some were novice paddlers and some were experienced but all were very nice. Mark and April led the group. We paddled down a river and into a pass then stopped at the beach to rest, snack and watch a beautiful sunset over the Gulf. (I brought wine and cheese and my girlfriend found it very romantic!) After sunset, Mark and April made sure everyone had some kind of light and we headed back to the Marina. Would not want to try this trip alone after dark since all the mangroves tend to look alike and it would be easy to get lost. However, with the group and lights â no problem. One older paddler wore out and they ended up tying 3 kayaks together to tow him back.One note â be sure to bring bug repellant since mosquitoes love mangroves. In all, a very good time and I will definitely repeat it when IâÂÂm down again. Would also like to make the trip in daylight and spend a few hours on the beach.TrevorTampa, FL
Scuba Diving
by harryD , 01/27/2013
I have been diving in the Caribbean several times but never went through the process to actually get certified. Signed up for the class at Naples Marina & Excursions and am now PADI-certified and I love it! We did all the book work online on our own time and pace, a pool session, followed by 4 dives in the Gulf, then a one-on-one classroom review with the instructor. I always heard that Gulf dives have low visibility and nothing much to see. Wrong! Yes, we did all the training/safety maneuvers that are required for certification. But, we also saw, a wreck, reefs, and lots of sea life, ranging from bright, colorful tropical fish to a Goliath grouper. (No sharks though.)I now feel safe and confident in my diving abilities and look forward to going out with Mark Garcy to explore more Gulf sites. The Caribbean is a great place to dive but Naples is in my own backyard which means I can do it regularly. The Marina rents dive equipment so no worries about making a large investment until you know youâÂÂre hooked. They also sell equipment at reasonable prices so itâÂÂs really a one-stop place for training, equipment and dive excursions. IâÂÂm now looking forward to getting my spear gun certification so I can have diving fun and bring home dinner!HarryFort Myers, FL

Kayak down the Cocohatchee River to Wiggins Pass to enjoy Barefoot Beach on one side or Wiggins State Park on the other. (If you canâÂÂt choose, there is a sandbar in the center of the Pass at low tide that also makes a nice stopping point.) Or just paddle the river and back-bay areas for a quiet, relaxing day and enjoy the abundance of birds and fish and other wildlife along the mangrove-lined shore.The paddle to the beach takes about30- 45 minutes, depending on tide and wind. If you want to be sure itâÂÂs an easy paddle, check the tide tables before you go. What a great way to enjoy some physical activity and then take a break at a beautiful beach.I rented a very nice kayak, with a comfortable, padded seat with back support on my first trip to Naples Marina. Was so impressed with the facility and the paddle that I ended up buying my own kayak and storing it there. They have covered racks in a secure area, with a hose, sponges and a wet/dry vac to clean up after a trip. They also always have someone available to help you get your kayak into and out of the water â very nice for those of us who are not as young and strong as we used to be!All staff is friendly, helpful and more than willing to offer tips and advice on the area. What can I say? Great facility, good upper-body workout, peaceful and quiet with pristine beaches and lots of native wildlife. Makes for a perfect day!Susan BFort Myers, FL
peaceful nature tour for elderly mother
by janewelp , 12/29/2012
I took my mother for a nature tour this week and it was the highlight of my mother's day. She is 89 and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The boat captains helped her on board; she uses a walker. She was comfortable and the boat ride was peaceful and deeply engaging. Linda and Denis Blaise were very informative narrators about the bird life, sea life and had wonderful suggestions about other tourist activities available including a park for a picnic. We missed our 11:30 trip but the receptionist quickly put another trip together with incoming tourists so we didn't wait long. The bathrooms were very clean and the marina's waiting area and outside patio was also exceptionally pleasant. Another positive experience took place when I bought a small bag of ice and postcards because the front desk person was so honest. I walked away from the change coming due from my $20.00 bill; she called out to to get it. I was distracted and she could have easily taken advantage of me. How nice of her and it set such a lovely tone at the end of our experience.
terrible service
by jack kendall , 11/23/2011
too many horror stories about this company
Horrible Customer Service and they stole our money!
by Smartshopper , 11/23/2011
We called this company and were giving the wrong information on several calls to rent a boat. My wife then spoke to the owner Mark and he verbally said he would refund our money because of the wrong information we were given. We also only authorized them to charge $220.00 on our credit card (the waiver procedure you must do on the internet), and they charged us $275.00. Now we have reached out to Mark on several calls to see where our credit is and he will not return our calls and his employee has told us we can not have our money back. Lastly, we are in the process of disputing the charge with our American Express. Horrible experience and I would strongly recommend all to go with their competitors.
by Tim , 10/25/2011
We booked a fishing charter with 2 adults and 2 children and really did not know what to expect. All I can say is that we had an absolut blast! The fish were biting, the crew was very knowledgeable and helpful doing all the baiting and untangling of our lines and all around great people. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some great fishing, sights and good times :)
Great Charter Experience

The Independent reports that the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency supplied secret evidence to the Leveson Inquiry (on phone-hacking by newspapers) saying that many other groups in the UK routinely engaged in criminal, invasive hacking through private investigations firms. Included in the list of those purchasing criminal services are the super-rich, insurance companies, law firms and telecoms companies. The Leveson Inquiry took the evidence, but kept it secret, including the fact that the police knew about and tolerated this kind of activity. The spying included bribing police officers, perverting the course of justice, real-time tapping of phone lines, using specially built spying gadgets attached by BT engineers who assisted in the crimes.
A security source with knowledge of the report – codenamed Project Riverside – said clients who hired corrupt private investigators included:
* a major telecoms company;
* a celebrity who broadcasts to millions of people every week;
* a well-known media personality, who hired a private investigator to hack his employee's computer as he suspected she was selling confidential information to business rivals;
* a businessman who hired hackers to obtain intelligence on rivals involved in an ultimately unsuccessful £500m corporate takeover.
A company which was owed money by property developers also hired private detectives to track down the firm's family information, detailed transactions from four bank accounts, information from credit card statements and an itemised mobile phone bill. The company paid £14,000 for the information.
However, the most common industry employing criminal private detectives is understood to be law firms, including some of those involved in high-end matrimonial proceedings and litigators investigating fraud on behalf of private clients.
SOCA discovered a document called "The Blagger's Manual" during one inquiry, which contained instructions for illegally obtaining information from "calling companies, banks, HM Revenue and Customs, councils, utility providers and the NHS." The manual read, in part, "It is probably a good idea to overcome any moral hang-ups you might have about 'snooping' or 'dishonesty.' The fact is that through learning acts of technical deception, you will be performing a task which is not only of value to us or our client, but to industry as a whole."
SOCA's report can't be retrieved via normal freedom-of-information requests, because SOCA claims it has "sensitive material." It also alleges that the corruption was often carried out by means of social connections through membership in the Freemasons, shared among police, judges, and the criminals who wished to bribe or influence them.

The British police are accusing the Freemasons of conspiracy. Have they lined their helmets with tin foil ?
ha freemasons. alex jones has the weirdest boner right now.
Can we return to the traditional way of decorating London Bridge?
The beauty of it being, if we just hung a few bankers off it with bricks in their pockets, everyone would assume it was a masonic conspiracy and refrain from investigating.
At least in the UK they are honest, by public demand they have class separation where peers are super citizens and the influential get promoted by their high born big whuffi social connections. The rampant and sometimes even transparent nepotism and tampering once a case is in court would make even a hardened US attorney blush. This type of abuse of exclusive social networking is why colonists cut off from lobbying the powerful by the Atlantic revolted in the 13 colonies sadly to slide into a very familiar and natural trap.
That's not honesty, and it's certainly not by public demand. Also, only a little less punctuation and you would sound like a raving loony.
So one wonders how much money you have to have to get into the special law free zone. Are their different levels? Can the super-rich still crush the rich as well as the normal people with impunity?
Yep, pretty much. But they don't – it sets a bad precedent.
Well they might not want the plain rich to think they can move up to the super-rich level
I suspect they do want them thinking that – it's what keeps them in line. If they thought they had no chance, they might stop playing the game.
So its like the fabled move for the working poor to being middle class… it doesn't really exist and it makes great entertainment for the rich to look down and watch you struggle to get there.
Everytime you think you move up a rung on the ladder you discover that you pushed all of those above you up and the goal line is always out of reach… but you can make it… if you try harder.
Your majesty, may I recommend the Tower for the scoundrels?
a celebrity who broadcasts to millions of people every week
Shouldn't this person be named? They're an, umm, celebrity.
I doubt that they're celebrated for bugging their PAs or whatever it is they did.
UK anti-defamation laws or something won't allow it. True or not, saying something bad about the super-rich gets you a summons, no matter where you live or work.
Mmm interestingly mid last week, as I walked behind FreeMason central house in WC2, two uniformed police were sifting through the four great big orange rolling bins and picking out papers. With someone from the building observing. They tucked envelopes and papers into what looked like evidence bags.
I've walked past that place hundreds of times, and never seen that.
That sounds like the same "blaggers handbook" referred in this 2006 Graun story. No sign of it any more substantially; I wonder if it's another Internet Mythical Tome, or just a zip of tips.
try putting "blagger's training manual" into your favorite search box.
I must be having Faily Sunday Brain, 'cos I still can't pull anything that isn't oblique.
There's umpty-billion social engineering how-to's out there anyway. Shit, it's a competitive sport
Anyone know how much of that is a "we know but don't have enough admissible evidence" thing?Because I know that happens

"I couldn't help but notice that on the same day that Congress decided to call the ballplayers in and make an issue of steroids, we found out that at least 26 people who have been kept in our prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan may have died - or they died - but it may be because of criminal homicide. In other words, we tortured to death Arab men while in prison. I can't help but think that this is going to bite us in the ass a little more than whether Sammy Sosa was on the juice." – Bill Maher
"Now, we can conserve, and we've got to conserve. But this is a lot of oil, potentially, up there. Alaska has been producing about 25% of the total crude oil produced in the United States for the last almost 30 years. If there's an abundance of oil in A.N.W.R., it could be as much as what we would import from Saudi Arabia in 25 years. So this could be a very big thing. And it's in the national security interests, because an awful lot of what we do when we import oil is we send our dollars overseas to the Mid-East. And a lot of this funds terrorism. Make no mistake about it. We know where the funding is coming from. It's coming from oil." – Gov. Frank Murkowski

On June, 14, 2012, a new owner took over Action Craft from the family who founded Action Craft in 1981. Chad Kovarik, the current Owner and President, states, "The last 4 years have been quite a ride. Wow, what an awesome support system with so many loyal fans, customers, repeat customers, pro teams, guides, dealers, employees and many more. It has not been easy but this support system has helped make our crazy growth possible. We have grown double digits percentages for 4 consecutive years.
Kovarik also states, "The addition of our 2nd manufacturing facility in north Florida has also made it possible for us to increase our production while maintaining super high quality with Yacht like finishes. We look forward to further growth as it is already lined up with high demand. We won't stop growing until we hit the $100M mark. It may take a few years, but we want to be the best customized high-end boat builder in the world. If you have not test ran a "new" Action Craft yet, you are missing out. The new boats being built today are even better than the notrious boats built in that past. In 2014/2015, we really stepped up our game with focusing on high-end fit and finish as well as making sure we use the very finest materials. We buy as much materials as humanly possible here in the United States and I do not mind paying more for these items. We will not imitate other builders."
"Right now, we have 12 models in our line-up (3 bay models, 8 flats models that can be converted to bass models and 1 technical poling skiff). We have been performing some R&D work to come out with 2 additional models at the end of the calendar year 2016. These models we believe will fill in two blanks for the market where we see is missing. I can't release too much info now as we have to iron out all the details in the upcoming months. It has been a challenge to balance growth with high demand yet prepare for new models. So stay tuned!"
"Again, thank you for the 4 years of support," Kovarik finishes with on his final note.
NEW!! - Are you looking for a Salt Water boat? Are you looking for a Fresh Water boat? How about BOTH? Introducing the 19 ACE Convertible (See our Online Brochures page for more information):
NEW!! - NEW DEALER ANNOUNCEMENT: Please welcome Spaceport Cycles and Marine to the Action Craft family. Owner/President, Chad Kovarik, states "We are please to have such a highly recommended group of people in the Titusville area representing our boat lines. The Mosquito Lagoon area will fit our new boats perfectly." Spaceport will begin receiving boats in mid May, June and July. Order yours soon to get a production slot as these new Action Crafts go fast.

Mission Statement
Michigan State University Extension helps people improve their lives through an educational process that applies knowledge to critical needs, issues and opportunities.
MSU Extension was created from the understanding that research is valuable only if the results are available to the people who need it. In 1912 the Michigan Legislature authorized county boards of supervisors (now county boards of commissioners) to appropriate funds and levy taxes to advance use of research findings through a local network of Extension professionals. In 1914 Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act, creating the Cooperative Extension Service and directed the nation's land grant universities (in Michigan it's Michigan State University) to oversee its work.
The federal/state/local government funding partnership supports the work and grants from foundations and the private sector enhance and expand it.
Michigan State University Extension puts
research-based information into the hands of people when they need it. The MSU Extension Leadership Council of Oakland County
works in partnership with staff to ensure
vibrant and dynamic educational programming efforts that focus on
identified priorities.
MSU Extension staff conduct program evaluations in order to track
results and impacts. These reports contain descriptions of effective
educational programs in Oakland County.
