New Fantasy Sports Platform Provides Radio with Turnkey Method of Tapping into Booming DFS Industry. Tampa, Florida-based FantasyNXS is providing a custom-designed way for radio stations, networks, and personalities to generate revenue from the booming fantasy sports industry. FantasyNXS is the first online mall for daily fantasy sports ("DFS"). According to company president and CEO, David B. Hirsch, "Our platform enables radio stations, networks and personalities to get into the DFS business at no cost and provides them with a new and engaging way to monetize their audience." Hirsch adds, "When a broadcast entity joins FantasyNXS as a partner, we create a customized hub or 'storefront' for them that features their branding, content and contests. It also has its own, easy-to-remember URL on our site, which facilitates off-line promotion and advertising." What distinguishes FantasyNXS from the current big dogs in the fantasy sports business – DraftKings and FanDuel? Hirsch tells TALKERS that FantasyNXS provides a different business model, more game formats and free-to-enter promotional contests. He states, "Our business model is completely different. Think of us as the first online shopping mall for daily fantasy sports. Our platform enables third parties to get into the DFS business for themselves. We build a customized hub or storefront for our partners on our website. We then create contests for them designed to appeal to their target audience. These contests appear in their hub and in the general game lobby for all FantasyNXS members to play. Our partners promote their contests by driving prospects to their hub. We administer the contests and take care of all compliance and back-office operations. We then split the net proceeds we earn from each contest with our partners." Hirsch explains, "We also offer more game formats than anyone in the business, including Salary Cap, No Cap and Top-X. We also offer all three of these formats in our proprietary 'Beat the Pro' setting, which is ideally suited for radio celebrities. In 'Beat the Pro,' all of the contest's entrants compete head-to-head, but collectively against the celebrity show host. Everyone who beats the celebrity splits a portion of the prize pool. 'Beat the Pro' offers a fantastic way for radio personalities to personally engage their audiences." How do participating broadcasters make money? According to Hirsch, "FantasyNXS works off of a revenue split. Our partners earn a portion of the net proceeds we earn from the contests they promote. Also, our partners are credited as the referring affiliate for all FantasyNXS members who sign-up through their hub. This means recurring revenue every time one of these members enters any cash-entry contest in FantasyNXS. Our turn-key system can put a station into the DFS business with no cost." Hirsch advises, "We can put radio entities into the DFS business, but they will have to actively promote their contests and drive prospects to their hub. The more they promote, the more money they'll make." Broadcasters licensed to states that forbid DFS or have network listeners banned from playing due to their local state laws can become involved in another, non-monetary version of the FantasyNXS platform that specializes in "social gaming." Has the recent negative news about some states' stances on fantasy sports impacted the millions of people who regularly play fantasy sports? "Of course," states Hirsch. "In particular, the recent cease and desist letter presented to FanDuel and DraftKings by the New York State Attorney General has left a lot of fantasy sports fans on the sideline. In the coming months, you're going to see more of this type of activity as our society comes to grips with the daily fantasy sports phenomenon. We ultimately believe that DFS will continue to thrive, but in a regulated environment."

PPM Analysis: Urban-Rhythmic Oldies. This month, RadioInfo managing editor and West Coast bureau chief Mike Kinosian presents his PPM analysis of three urban formats. Today (11/7), we wrap up the reports with a look at urban-rhythmic oldies. During the past two days, we've published analyses of urban AC and urban contemporary (or hip hop). The number of stations airing the urban-rhythmic oldies format is about two-thirds the size of those airing the other two urban formats already discussed. That said, October was neither good nor bad to the format as a whole with 50% of stations achieving increases in their weekly share (6+) and the other half experiencing dips. iHeartMedia's KISQ, San Franciso leads the gainer's pack with a 0.4-share increase, according to Nielsen Audio data. In this report, see more September to October share fluctuations, comparisons to PPM ratings from October of last year, market rank for urban-rhythmic oldies stations, market share for the past six ratings periods, and a comparison of their performances alongside their urban AC, and urban contemporary cousins. See Mike Kinosian's entire analysis here.

Saga Communications' Q3 Net Revenue Jumps 4.4%.

The company reports that station operating expense was $26.4 million (station operating expense includes depreciation and amortization attributable to the stations) compared to $23.6 million for the same period last year. That increase was primarily due to an accrual attributable to the company's expectations of entering into license agreements in the fourth quarter of 2014 which are currently under negotiation.

EAS LESSON: Protect Your Station from Hackers. By now, you have obviously heard that there was an EAS hack at a TV station the other day. It is the buzz of the industry. An alert went out about a zombie attack. Now, before anyone goes off about EAS, it should be noted that the CAP feed was not affected. This appears to be strictly a case of computer network security. And before we go deeper, it should be stated that when something like this happens, it is only natural that it becomes a news story. And news stories require actualities. If something goes awry with EAS, please keep in mind that it is okay to play the actual audio message that went out (although not advisable) – but it CANNOT contain the EAS data bursts or the two-tone alert signal. It is illegal to transmit those outside of an actual EAS activation or test, per FCC regulation 47 CFR 11.45. Back to the hack. It appears that someone hacked into the computer network of the TV station where the zombie alert originated. More disturbing, the hacker logged into the EAS encoder/decoder, planted an audio file, and sent the test. Consider the implications of this if the hacker had originated a National Emergency code. Any station monitoring the TV station would have had their air seized because of the nature of the alert – and, besides disconnecting the equipment, could not do anything about it. You do not have the option to abort a National Emergency. Noted radio engineer Tom Ray, president of Tom Ray Consulting, – who joins RadioInfo today (2/14) as technical editor – offers his educated take on the "Zombie Hack" and offers counsel on how to protect your station from similar breaches in computer security. Read Tom Ray's article here.
Merlin Media's "Q87.7" Chicago Adds EDM Show. "Electric Playground" airs early Sunday mornings – from 12:00 midnight to 4:00 am – and is a partnership between Merlin Media's WKQX, Chicago and DJs Andre Solaris and Nosmo. Electronic dance music is a very popular genre for young demos – late teens through early 20s – and RadioInfo expects to see many more alternative stations add EDM programming to their lineups. "Q87.7" program director PJ says, "EDM is massive. From sold-out, multi-day festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival and Ultra Music Fest, to the bright spotlight shone upon it via the Perry Farrell Stage at Lollapalooza, to the commercial success it's finding in promotional campaigns for things like ESPN's X Games, this music is a big part of our audience's life. Adding a show of this type is only natural."
Do You Sound "CompuServe" to Smartphone Users? Radio consultant and RadioInfo columnist Holland Cooke says that in his travels he hears radio stations all across the country talk about their websites and digital activities in archaic 1990s terms. He advises that promos for your station's website should end, not begin, by plugging the site. He points out that many stations still discuss their website as if simply having a website is a big deal. Most importantly, he explains that people are way too busy with increasingly shortened attention spans to go to a website to peruse it for its own sake. You MUST give them a specific reason to go there every time you mention it. Find out more about placing your station's website in a 2013 context by reading Holland Cooke's article here.
CBS Radio's "103.7 Lite FM" Dallas Sends Massive Trove of Valentines to Sandy Hook Elementary.

Technique and condition
The painting falls stylistically into Kitaj's early style of composition and technique, when he was establishing himself as an artist after his term in the US Marines. The technique implies a tentative approach to his composition as various composition changes have been made. The presence of drying cracks also suggests that these compositional changes were immediate or at least made prior to the paint layer drying (the paint is quite thin and so would have dried quite quickly). The artist has preferred a fairly fluid paint suggested by the drip marks made by heavily diluted paint. He has also left the drip marks intact so as to leave an impression of this fluidity.
The painting appears to have spent the majority of its existence in a private collection (probably not environmentally controlled and subjected to ill-handling). The large numbers of exhibition labels on the reverse of the work bears testament to the extent to which this early painting by Kitaj has travelled and been handled. This may well account for the condition of the work as it is today.

I am the author of EZ Backup & since I made a major rewrite back in 2012 the plugin has never required any patches or updates.
It continues to work as expected with all of our wordpress installs and our clients wordpress installs. We have used it successfully on several hosts over the years & will continue to use it.
I encourage everyone to give it try.
This plug-in may work properly, for all I know. It made a backup. I don't know if it restores, because I ran into a more pressing problem.
As I played around with the program, I found that I couldn't do some things without paying for those features. I feel this is unacceptable.
What's happening here on WordPress, at least with the plug-ins, is that people are uploading incomplete programs as teasers. They offer partial functionality, some subset of a useful program. When you try to use the full product, you're suddenly told you've got to pay for features.
I don't mind paying for stuff. If I know something costs money, I'll gladly pay if it's worth it. I program, so I understand how much time and effort goes into even a simple product. Asking for payment is reasonable. But I get real upset when the costs are hidden from me.
The programmers may think that they get someone hooked and then he'll pay when he runs into the hidden costs. Maybe some do. When I run into hidden costs, I remove the program.
I encourage developers to explain the costs in their description. Don't make me download and install your product and only then tell me I've got to pay for something. It's dishonest and leaves me wondering what other surprises you may have in store for me. When it comes to my system, I hate surprises.
With this program I'm wondering what happens when I try to do a restore. Maybe I'll get a message, "Psyche! That feature isn't free. Pay up, sucker!"
That probably would never happen, but you get the idea. Once someone starts screwing around with you, there's no way to tell where they'll stop it.
So, as I've done on many other occasions, I'm removing this broken program. Maybe if the developer gets enough negative feedback he'll change his way of doing business.
*** Actually, there was another problem. When I set it up, one of the defaults was a directory named backup_****, where the stars were the plaintext of my password. I cannot even imagine what possessed the author to do something so insecure as that, but it's a serious security hole that should be plugged immediately.
I might be the author of the plugin and my opinion could be considered biased by those who read this, but I am going to post an honest review of the plugin.
WordPress EZ Backup is easy to use & for the in-depth functions it requires to perform its job it works on a fairly universal basis.
Different web hosts will have different setups for their Apache, PHP & MySQL services. WordPress EZ Backup attempts to be compatible with as many hosts as possible. I have been using EZ Backup on all our sites since the day I wrote it. It has come a long way with many improvements in its routine & I try to continue with updates.
The plugin works great for me and my clients.

Hi people,
I'm from Croatia and I would appreciate if you read entire post.
Well I have one (HUGE) problem with WooCoomerce....I have translated .mo and .po and done everything by the book. Imported in i18n etc.
After that on my web page/shop when you proceed to checkout or any other page when it comes to shipping, billing etc. only some words/sentences are translated.
After spending hours and hours looking for a solution I decided to translate sentences directly in .php files...
There was everything ok with files and I finally get my translation, BUT then I got something else.
Now comes important part...I'm from Croatia....and we have specific characters/letters like š, č, ć, ž, đ....after translating .php files instead of letters/characters š, č, ć, ž, đ i get this symbol �.
For example: Word "Quantity" should be look like this "Količina" (translated of course) but instead of "Količina" I get "Koli�ina"..
Main reason why I'm doing this is that web shop looks ridiculous with some words and sentences on english and some on croatian. I hope that you understand that I want croatian language on my web shop because this is a local shop/store, not international.
I believe that this is a problem with family font and I located woocommerce font in woocommerce/assets/font....
Inside this folder you can see star.ttf, star.eot etc. and WooCommerce.ttf, WooCommerce.eot...
And when I open WooCommerce.ttf i see that letters like š, č, ć, ž, đ are not supported, same thing with star.ttf.
My question is....what should I do to resolve problem about this letters?
Import different font in woocommerce/assets/font? or any other solution .I would gladly hear it and try it.
This is killing me...literally...
[Moderator Note: No bumping. If it's that urgent, consider hiring someone instead.]

Skill Level Intermediate
When you create your linear line designs, it's all about forming a stroke that creates one continuous line that wraps around itself and intertwines with itself to form whatever the theme is that you're creating. Now that's great. There's a lot of different usages that I'll be showing you later in this course that show how to use this style in a diverse range of ways but, at times, if you leave it as a stroke, it's too clean and too perfect and sometimes, you might want to get more organic with it.
More hand drawn, hand crafted, if you will, and much like you took a piece of chalk or a crayon and you drew the same style of drawing, being one continuous line but it has a more distressed quality to it. So one way you can do this is by using pattern brushes in Adobe Illustrator. So to create my base art, in this case this, you can see it right here at the top, I created this using a grease pencil and a grease pencil is just a black greasy type of lead.
Car dealerships usually use larger ones to write on windshields but it's a great way to just do really crude line work and that's why I have them. When that kind of aesthetic is needed, I'll draw it out, scan it in and in this case, I drew out just a straight segment line and scanned it in and then used Auto Trace in Illustrator to create a piece of vector artwork. Now, I'm going to turn this into a pattern brush and the way you do that, you just select your art, drag it over to the Brushes palette that's open here and drop it.
This window will come up, you'll want to select Pattern Brush and OK and now once this display comes up, go ahead and give it a unique name. I like giving it unique names, so I can remember it later. So we're going to call this Inky Brush because it's almost like the ink is kind of spilling out and pooling up and making nice little splotches along a linear path. Now, this is what we're after, this straight edge shape is what we want for our path but within Adobe Illustrator CC on up, Illustrator has added a feature that I'm not a big fan of.
I'm never a big fan of letting an algorithm create any content for me. I want to handle all the art creation. In this case, they have an auto generation of the corner art feature that tries to create your art for you and that's a no-no because it just doesn't look good at all. So I usually turn that off and that's what you'll want to do, otherwise this isn't going to look too hot when you apply it to your linear line path. And the next thing you want to make sure you change is the colorization, down here in the bottom right-hand corner of the window and the method is defaulted to None.
You want to change that to Tints and this will allow you to make it any color you want, rather than black, which is the source art you're using. Once you've done this, you'll now click, OK and if you look in your Brushes palette, you can see we have Inky Brush. So if you select any vector based path and you select your Inky Brush and you apply it, this is the effect you get. So you get this nice organic quality to the art and that's kind of what we're after. So we're going to go to a finished piece of linear line art and this artwork looks fine, as is, but I think it can look even better using an organic quality to the lines.
So we're going to select our linear line artwork. Go to our Inky Brush and we're going to apply it and this is the effect you get. This doesn't look bad but one thing you'll notice, is the areas that aren't showing up because the artwork doesn't have corner art. Now, Adobe tried to auto create that for us but if I would have turned that on, it would have looked horrible. But I want to show you one way you can edit a path like this and control the thick and thins in how your artwork will flow in a linear fashion and that happens by using the Scissors tool.
So we're going to go the Tool palette and click on that. We're going to drag it over on top of our artwork and I like to start on one area and go all the way to the end through the path. So we'll start here and we're going to cut it right here and you can see how it immediately affects the art and fills in that area and that's all we're going to do. We're going to go throughout the art and just make aesthetic calls. Meaning we're going to look at it and visually decide where to slice it, in order to make that organic path and shape look really well and so far, I like the way it looks when we do this.
So we're going to continue to go through here and I like how this is looking. I think it gets a little fat here, so we're going to try slicing it here and yeah, I really like how it goes thin, thick, thin, thick and then down on the tip of her hair, we'll go and cut it there and I think those thick and thins are looking nice. We'll cut it here. We'll continue, cut it here and here and we'll just do this throughout all the artwork. Now this just comes down to your personal artistic license, in terms of your own taste, what you think looks good and what doesn't.
And yes, even though this is a linear one continuous line illustration, we're kind of slicing that line but we're really not moving the path, so it's still acting as one continuous path, even though we're using the Scissors tool to kind of break it apart and form the artwork in a slightly different way to give it a organic flyer. That's fine. There are no distinct rules. You're not going to have the art police arrest you because you're violating the linear laws.
It's up to you, it's up to what you think looks good. So once you've gone through the entire piece of art and I think one last one, yeah, that looks good, so you can see how, by doing that, we've now been able to turn a linear piece of artwork that if we go to key line view, it's still practically, just a vector path but it has the nice Pattern brush applied to it and so what you end up with is a nice piece of art that you can then color and I applied a nice subtle drop shadow to, so this is a great way to push it more artistic in that type of aesthetic.
Now, another way you can use a Dry Brush affect, this is another Brush I created and I've already dragged it over to the palette and it's called the Painterly Brush. So, if I select these paths here, we'll go ahead and do that now. Deselect the Brush and we're going to apply this Painterly Brush to it. You can see how that comes out, as well, and the thickness of your stroke, right now, if we go to the Strokes palette, it's a 1 point. So, this brush affect is really thin.
So to make that beefier and decide what you want it to be visually, you just increase the strokes. So we're going to increase this by one and you see how the overall painterly effect increase. So based on how severe you want the thickness to be, you control that through the weight of your stroke, that is your linear path. because if you go to the Keyline view it's still a stroke and right now, it's a 2 point stroke as showing here in the Strokes palette. So you can control how thick that brush applies by basing it on how thick your stroke is.
Now, we've gone ahead and we've selected various parts of the stroke and we've colorized them and one nice thing you can do when you you use this approach to coloring your linear line, is you can then go to the Transparency palette and set everything to multiply, so we're just using a nice blend mode to let all the colors kind of overlap and have transparency. And this looks really nice when you zoom in and you see how the colors interact with each other and you get that effect of the artwork kind of being painted, in this case, a Dry Brush paint effect.
Now, when it comes to linear line artwork, you can do all kinds of approaches. Now, I recently worked on identity for a company in Texas and a secondary brand graphic that I created for him is this one below. So the base artwork started off as just a simple linear line stroke and then I created a Rope Pattern Brush as you can see over here, the straight and both ends. So if you select the stroke and you apply that and that's how I created this artwork.
So it's really diverse in terms of what you can end up with, if you play around, with Pattern Brushes, in the Linear Line style and if you want to know more about how to use Pattern Brushes within context of your illustrative designs, make sure to check out my Drawing Vector Graphics: Patterns course.

when kewell first arrived i was expecting great things after watching him for leeds, but he has failed to impress me, who needs a player who is injury prone, has a hairstyle like a women and most important of all, whats he actually done for liverpool. i say we should get in a new pacey winger and let kewell go.

I actually think he is starting to come good, and El Rafa obviously has started to see some promise in him the amount of playing time he's getting. When you think he was one of GH's buys, you could have understood him being outed as soon as Raf took over. Give him a chance and maybe we'll see some of that Harry magic that used to terrorise people in a white shirt?

Ethical Fashion News and Good Thoughts
from INDIGENOUS, Organic + Fair Trade Fashion
Published August 18th, 2016 by Emily Roberts
You're getting out of the house. Finally. Embarking on a cultural adventure, an expedition to somewhere classy. Maybe it's an art opening, a museum, or classical music performance. Suddenly all of the clothes in your closet look cheap and out of date. That dress you wore to a friends wedding 3 years ago? It's not going to cut it.
Recently I visited the SF MOMA, and found myself in exactly this position. Mom who wears jeans and t-shirts most of the year gets to break free for a moment and possibly, maybe, look really nice. I delved into some fall trends for a little inspiration. Some of them are beasts. Fur? Tinsel? Wearing your bag in a weird way? Nope. No thank you. So I thought I'd pull together a few that I liked, drawing on some of INDIGENOUS' fall '16 line.

Becoming Idealists: Finding Meaning In The Workplace
Traveling to Peru is likely to shake you up and inspire you. It's a place of rich culture. Layers of ancient civilizations and history live embedded in Peru's vibrant and chaotic modern society. Yet it's not necessarily a safe place, and not a wealthy one. Extreme poverty lurks down most streets, with hungry children on many doorsteps. It's this kind of poverty that changes your perspective. It's this constant realization that inspires many of us at INDIGENOUS to look for our worth beyond our paychecks. Instead, we have come to measure our worth by how much work we can give to an artisan group. By whether we can spread that work year round, making their jobs and lives easier and their income dependable. We measure our worth by our ability to reinvest in the communities we work with, and the ways we are able to connect individual artisans with micro financing and skills training

It has a nice look to it. Very simple layout and easy to read. The links are easy to find and loads nice.
I noticed on the left column, the links box, you have these black square shape "dots" beside each link. Was this done as part of your text-decoration layout? On my Blog, I have one too, right by the calendar that I can't get rid of. It looks like the same thing. I wonder if its browser related?
Are you going to be adding a third column on the right side? You seem to have a lot of empty space there.
Anyway, I'm sort of new with WordPress myself, and was looking around at other sites to see what's out their and get some ideas for mine.
Great Blog.

|Evaluation of sap flow and trunk diameter sensors for irrigation scheduling in early maturing peach trees
|Conejero Puente, Wenceslao; Alarcón Cabañero, Juan José; García-Orellana, Y.; Nicolás Nicolás, Emilio; Torrecillas Melendreras, Arturo
|Stem water potential
trunk diameter fluctuations
Water relations
|Issue Date:
|Oxford University Press
|Tree Physiology 27(12):1753-1759 (2007)
|Five-year-old early maturing peach trees (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Flordastar grafted on GF-677 peach rootstock) were subjected to three irrigation treatments from March 18 to November 10, 2006. Control plants (T0 treatment) which received irrigation in excess of their crop water requirements (1089.7 mm) were compared with plants watered according to sap flow (SF; T1 treatment) or maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS; T2 treatment) measurements, so as to maintain SF and MDS signal intensities (control SF/SF in T1 and MDS in T2/control MDS, respectively) close to unity. When SF or MDS signal intensity on at least two of three consecutive days was at or below unity, irrigation was reduced by 10%. When the MDS signal intensity on at least two of three consecutive days exceeded unity, irrigation was increased by 10%. During the experiment, estimated crop evapotranspiration was 704.9 mm, and the cumulative amounts of applied water in the T1 and T2 treatments were 463.2 and 654.5 mm, respectively. The MDS-signal-intensity-driven irrigation schedule was more suitable than the SF-signal-intensity-driven irrigation schedule because it was more sensitive and reliable in detecting changes in plant water status, preventing the development of detectable plant water stress. Moreover, it had no effect on fruit size. We conclude that peach tree irrigation scheduling can be based on MDS measurements alone. Changes in the irrigation protocol assayed were proposed to reduce MDS signal intensity deviations above unity, for example, by increasing the irrigation scheduling frequency or the amount of water applied, or both. Irrigation schedules based on maintaining MDS signal intensities close to unity could be applied when local crop factor values are unavailable.

Comments about Una Poppy Arm Cozies:
These are not for those with much extra weight of their arms, they barely fit my aunt who as been a twig her whole life, and wouldn't go past my lower arm/upper wrist. The fabric is great, the design is great, but I doubt they would ever fit me.

Comments about Una Poppy Arm Cozies:
I purchased these both to wear alone later in the year, and to layer over top of fingerless gloves. This works very well, for example over some thicker fingerless gloves like the tie dyed ones on here! And when worn alone, they are sort of like T-shirt sleeves, which is verrry comfy. The only thing of note IMO is the thumb opening may be a little small. Less so, but possibly the arm openings could be tight on some. My arms are scrawny, though. The design is really pretty in person, too!

Comments about Una Poppy Arm Cozies:
I have tried all kinds of arm warmers and these are the best! The material is just thick enough, unlike other kinds that are either too heavy/bulky or too thin. I wear them all the time under the sleeves of hoodies. The thumb hole is not too tight, which is important! Love the poppies design. The material did start to lightly fray around the edges but I am hard on arm warmers. They wash up well and have served me well.

Q:I've noticed a lot of your arm warmers (actually, any I looked at) say they fit medium to large size hands just fine. What about those of us with smaller hands? Still fit?Asked on 1/13/2015 by sockmommy from Glendale, Burrillville, RI, United States
1 answer
A:Yes, these fit "up to medium to large hands" so anything under medium to large is meant to be included in that description. I'll try to think of a clearer way to rephrase that bit of sizing, as I can see how it might be confusing.Answered on 1/13/2015 by rosalind from Sock Dreams HQ
Just as a general PSA, Sock Dreams continues to be the best company I've ever had the pleasure of buying from. They're amazing.

Product Description
"Rotchin's talents for character are on fine display in the darkly comical Mort Halbman. As impressively crafted as his debut novel, The Rent Collector, Rotchin's follow-up will entertain those searching for an uncomplicated, engaging read." (Publishers Weekly 2011-12-02)
"Rotchin is adept at sketching character and creating convincing dialogue. [] Halbmans cronies, his children, his wife, his city are immediately recognizable and Rochin has an uncanny ability to draw us in with the clarity of his prose and charming narrative." (The Toronto Star 2012-02-25)
"Rotchin's latest novel, Halbman Steals Home, is one that any Jew with a sense of humour wont be able to put down." (The Jewish Tribune 2012-03-08)
"With skill and tenderness, Rotchin designs a world of characters so authentic, and carves a poetic tale rich with wit and pathos." (Friday Night Magazine 2012-03-09)
"Halbman Steals Home brings to mind Mordecai Richler's satirical portrayal of Jews." (Canadian Jewish News 2012-03-29)
Halbman makes for entertaining company and the book breezes along. Rotchins prose flow with a nice comic edge, his dialogue is crisp, his evocation of place unerring. This kind of writing, with its unassuming view into a very specific world, is too often undervalued. (The Montreal Gazette 2012-05-11)
"Sometimes home is not what we think it is, Rotchin tells us, and memory can become a way forward rather than an anchor to the past. These themes will resonate even for those who have never set foot in Montreal." (McGill News Alumni Magazine 2012-01-01)
"…Halbman Steals Home is a thoroughly enjoyable read… The author is a master at describing so much of what makes Montreal such a compelling city in which to set a story… anyone who enjoys seeing much of hypocrisy in Jewish life made clver – and usually gentle fun, of, should get a kick out of this book." (The Jewish Post and News 2012-01-01)
About the Author
B. Glen Rotchin has published fiction, poetry, essays, and book reviews. He has won two Canadian Jewish Book Awards for co-editing poetry anthologies, Jerusalem: An Anthology of Jewish Canadian Poetry (1997) and A Rich Garland: Poems for A.M. Klein (2000), while his debut novel, The Rent Collector, was a finalist in 2005 for the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award. Rotchin lives in Montreal.
Customer Reviews

The depiction of the Montreal Jewish community captures its dynamic, wisecracking personality. Very true to life, and a very entertaining book to read. The book makes a great gift. The people I gave it to love it as much as I do.
We follow poor Mort as he tries to reconcile with the past and a present that includes baseball, gay marriage, orthodox Judaism and arson. The plot twists and turns with absurdity and humor...the age-old Jewish survival mechanism.

10/20/06 - Bought HP Pavilion computer from staples.
10/28/06 - Start button did not work incident 8261215
6/25/07 - Computer would not turn off or on called HP and they sent box to send in for repair telling me it would only take 7-10 days.
First week of July got a phone call computer would be here the following week.
Second week of July got a phone call computer would be here the following week.
Third week same thing, I explained I needed this computer back my daughter was taking it to Italy and I had to transfer files.
This happened until time was running out and I called and contacted HP, Corp. HQ and CEO via email.
No calls no response.
8/5/07 - Emailed CEO of HP and called left message for Rodney Lynn.
Called Corp. HQ woman I spoke to said she pulled up the account stating Rodney Lynn the case manager has been trying to get a hold of me. No one has called me or emailed me. She said he tried contacting me twice. Again I told her I received no call or email. She said he wrote me a letter. I never received. I told her I need to speak to someone who could help me. She would no way do anything but refer me to the case manager. I told her I was supposed to be called the last 2 weeks and heard nothing. I explained I could not wait any longer. She said she would send him an email. She gave me his number. I called. The first time I left a message since no one picks up. I recalled and his voice mail was full and won't take a message.
8/5/07 - I called and was told the part was on backorder until 8/28/07. I asked for the case manager who was unavailable. Left message no call back no email.
8/6/07 - Called your case manager 4 times. No one called back with any information. I was told they were trying to reach me. I left 2 messages asking for him to please call me back and nothing. I have asked repeatedly what was wrong with the computer. No one could tell me I was told only the case manager knew.
8/8/07 - Out of the blue I got my computer back. But I did not receive the power cord and there is a big cut in the top. Called the support line and told them, I was told a case manager would call me back I told him no I would wait. He finally got Rodney Lynn on the phone. He said he would send out a cord and apologized for the scratch but offered no solution. Plus I was not going to send it back again. That night I tried to start getting my files off the computer and noticed programs were freezing so I tried to run HP diagnostics it did not respond. The computer kept freezing.When I tried to put on a screensaver I went into Appearances and Themes and I could not change anything. It did not work.
The power button, one of the original problems, grinds. How I know this, when I tried to turn the computer off, it would not respond. I had to hold the power button for it to turn off and it mades a grinding noise, like the mechanism is not working. Many items would not respond and I had to use the task manager.
8/9/07 Called HQ and spoke to Yunsel who said she was taking it her manager right away. That was about 11AM Eastern time. By 4PM no call back. I called her back and she said to give it time.
Spoke then to Rodney Lynn after 4 messages I left. Rodney Lynn told me it was my problem not his that I had a timeline when I needed the computer back not his. I could send it in and that could take up to 14 business days. I asked if he would fix it then and he could send it to Rome to my daughter he refused. It was his way I send it in and wait or I was not getting any service. He had no answers as to why the computer was damaged and not working and did not seem to care. He delighted in letting me know when I emailed the CEO it went to him. He told me he was the highest person in the company for me to talk to. I asked repeatedly for someone else. He said no he was the ONE. Then he hung up on me.
Called back HQ and spoke to Dan who was very arrogant and refused to help, I asked for another manager he told me no. He was not giving me anyone else to talk to. He was not doing anything to help me. I asked for a new case manager, he said he could but that could take up to 48 hours. Then he hung up on me.
Both Rodney Lynn and Dan enjoyed the fact in telling me when you email the CEO, Mark Hurd. The email goes to them and not him. That is horrible that you state email the CEO and it does not go to him.
Called the HQ and given the name of Tim Metcalf and left him a message.
I explained many times I needed this ready for my daughter by Aug. 23rd. No one cares.
My computer was there for over six weeks, came back not repaired, damaged and it is my fault? Being on hold for 30 minutes too many times to remember. No return phone calls or emails. Arrogant employees.
8/10/07 Received only part of the power cord!
8/10/07 No call from Tim Metcalf.
8/10/07 Received call from Jeff Utigard apologizing for the way I was treated he stated he was ashamed and someone would contact me and guaranteed me this would be rectified in time that he was on my side. Ellen Roberts called they did not have the system I should go out and buy one and I would be reimbursed for the broken computer. The next day I faxed the receipts to her she said she never received them although I have the fax receipt. I refaxed. She called and said it would take 2 weeks to get my check.
8/24/07 Received box from HP no return labels. 8/25/07. Emailed Ellen Roberts no return labels were included. No response.
Spoke to Ellen Roberts then she stated 3 weeks for the check.
9/12/07 Since 8/10/07 sent numerous emails to Jeff Utigard, Tim Metcalf and Ellen Roberts with no responses. Today I called, Ellen Roberts said she resent the labels for the computer and would not discuss the other issue. Hung up on me. Now states 4 weeks for the check. Called Tim Metcalf explained the situation. Said it had to go to a case manager. He called back said labels were on the way and also that he was tracking the check.
They are not even addressing the issue of the 2nd worthless computer I have and I refuse to deal with their support.
