Mekuria GetinetG+ Questions - Mobile -
I was trying to share a photo from my google+ app to Instagram using the simple Android OS level sharing protocol. I have used this feature for the last year without a problem… till today. Looks like I'm unable to share my photos with anything that is not googled.
When I try to share a photo to Instagram or Path or any other app, I get the error message "Unable to load image".
Also, when I open the Google+/Photos app, it asks me if I want to backup my photos using wifi&mobile or just wifi. Every time i say yes. Every time i load the app, it asks me again. More oddities if anyone is interested.

Where evolution failed, we have succeeded, whether or not that is a good thing remains to be seen. Pigs, primates and chickens have never been known for their flying prowess - much to the embarrassment of chickens especially, all that effort to grow wings only to spend your life in a constant state of disappointment, it's heart breaking. Well help is at hand, call them obscure evolutionary hiccups, or call them what they are, very stupid - whatever you call them, the Flying Monkey, Pig and Rooster have been sailing around the office in a thoroughly un-land-dwelling way. Their arms (or head in the case of the Rooster) conceal super-elastic bands, you simply insert your fingers into little pouches on their hands (or head), pull back their legs, and catapult them across huge distances. As they fly you'll hear a screech of glee from the Monkey, a cock-a-doodle-doo from the Rooster, and a squeal of delight from the pig. Next time someone poo poos your brilliant idea with a 'Pigs might Fly' comment, you can prove that they do by catapulting this ballistic Babe across the room, give the Rooster his first chance at flight, and if someone is in need of some super-hero assistance then you can fire the be-caped primate to their rescue. There is of course nothing sane about any of these aerial animals, but that's the point.

I bought th Flying Animals - Flying Rooster for myself, but my family love it too and are always playing with it when they visit. We all love it!
I bought the Flying Animals for myself but my sister took claim to it! I would highly recommend.
I bought a flying rooster to give as a birthday gift but obviously I had to try it out first-I still have it!! My dog,cat,neighbours dog and friends also love it so I feel I may need to buy a whole flock-Fab fun for almost free!!!!
The simple ones are always the best. I got these as stocking fillers for my husband, son and my sons girlfriend who was staying with us over Christmas. After the celebratory meal (accompanied by a drinky poo or two), these things were literally flying around the room. We were all laughing so much we could hardly stand and tears were rolling down our faces. The best reaction came from the family cat, who couldn't decide which one to go after, first. His poor little head was going every-which-way. My son couldn't wait to return to uni and scare the living daylight out of his flatmate. I would thoroughly recommend these to anyone. Great fun and guaranteed laughter. You would certainly not be disappointment.
Bought flying monkey for my brother for Xmas. Hilarious! Great fun! Exactly as described......he flies fabulously, squeals and looks really cute in his cape & mask!
My sister has a daughter and christmas day she was flying this noisy monkey around at 6am Makes up for all the times I was woken up by her baby when she was small
Good fun, although unless you have tiny fingers it is quite hard to get them inside the feet to launch him. However, once we managed it we had great fun, good sound when flying.
My three teenage boys - 17.15 & 13 had one each of the animals at christmas. Huge hit! To the person who's review said that the rooster didn't have a place for the fingers - its in the back of the head - and after exhaustive teenage testing the rooster flies better than the pig or the monkey!
I purchased the Monkey and Chicken as stocking fillers for husband and brother. Although they were smaller than I imagined, both were well received. For me, the monkey is so much funnier. At first glance, you think its just this tacky teddy thing but my husband thought it was very amusing when I showed him what it did. Great fun for Christmas morning.
This Flying Rooster is great for sneaking up on unsuspecting loved ones. It's the ideal way to scare anyone.
What a fabulous stocking filler or extra little present. Have previously bought the Monkey and was as equally impressed with the Chicken. Everyone loved it, kept the kids amused for hours and the big kids are still obsessed. Is of excellent quality and even cute and cuddly when you are not hurling it across the room! I would highly recommend this to everyone as is fantastic value for the Great price IWOOT are offering it at!
great fun, apart from waking christmas morning to screaming, flying animals around the house!
Brilliant - what a buy. How much fun do you want! It's not techno, it's not mechano but it is funny!!!
my nieces and nephew loved the toys shooting each other with them, great fun product for kids and adults i had fun with them too!
This is a fun gadget. A bit hard to use so not really suitable for younger children
Bought two of these Flying Roosters as an extra present for my grandsons who had great laughs with them. My grandson's adore 'Naughty Nannie'; their Mummy isn't quite so sure any more.
i got my husband the flying monkey and pig for christmas, and to see him open them and his face was excelent. these are not just for kids they are for big boys too.
The monkey could fly further, but then again, it doesn't have wings. Bought as a Kris Kindle gift, perfect for flinging around the office. It appears I have reached the minimum amount of characters required so..
This rooster was bought as a stocking filler for my near teenage daughter. She will probably not receive it as I have taken a shine to the crazy little rooster. Iv'e had Great fun slinging it around at home and work that I have managed top get it quite dirty! oops! They really are great fun, and not just for kids, lol. My work colleagues are buying them and we will soon be having "animal slinging" distance competitions. Cock-a-doodle-dooooo get one of these!!
Bought the pig as a Christmas present. I know my daughter will love it. It arrived in superquick time too.
The item was delivered very promptly and its quality was a very nice suprise. Really soft and pretty toy for just few pounds- as promised it flys and makes a noise like a real chicken.
I had to buy presents for 3 teenage children of relatives who I barely know, and opted for 1 of each of these flying creatures. The best bit was when I decided to try the rooster out before wrapping it, and my kid appeared from the other room asking what the noise was, and I said I hadn't heard any noise, but did he know what had happened to the chicken I was going to cook, I couldn't find it anywhere?!! Anyway, the monkey was by far the best, the chicken had a good sound but nowhere to insert your fingers to catapult it, and the pig was very tame, quiet and a bit of a flop, more like a soft toy. But they were a hit on the night anyway!!!
Bought the monkey for my 12 yr old as a stocking filler this year. Might not make it to there! I can't stop playing with it. Its almost as though the monkey anticipates what is about to happen as he starts screaming even before I launch him! It is so funny and I love it to bits. Great idea for boys/girls alike.
I bought these items for some small children, but thought they are a bit naf, Ithink the children will like them though after all thats who I bought them for
i love i woot and have bought loads for the past 2 years i have never been dissapointed with any item and have now got a few friends addicted too!
really fun toy, my nephew will find it really funny on xmas day
Brilliant funl. Great gifts that will keep you entertained for quite a while, whether you're an adult or child. Thoroughly recommended,
These flying animals can create hours of fun and Laughter!

KING: Blacks Should Vote Gods Way Against Obama Conscience, Not Skin Color, Must Prevail C By Alveda King October 17, 2012
Earlier this year, President Obama became the first president in American history to openly advocate for homosexual marriage, explicitly reversing his position from four years ago, when, at a forum in Saddleback Church in California, he stated his support for traditional marriage, saying that it was the biblical view he held.
I, along with many others in the black community, was very disturbed. I wish I could say I was shocked, but I never believed his word at Saddleback Church. I had followed his history and record. I knew he was always pro-abortion and for homosexual marriage, even though the Bible is clear about the dangers of such practices. Sometimes politicians say what is convenient at a certain time, and I think thats why he originally stated his support for traditional marriage it may be the reason he reversed his position as well.
In 2008, the black community as a whole voted almost as a single block for Mr. Obama. Blacks also overwhelmingly approved Proposition 8 in California, which banned homosexual marriage in favor of natural marriage during the same election. Conservative morals and values run deep in the black community. In the current election, we need to remember those roots when we go to the polls.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
This could lower the percentage of blacks voting for Obama, possibly to about 94%.
She needs to be in ads run 24/7 on all shows that blacks are likely to watch. They must understand that a vote for Obama is a vote against Jesus.
"They must understand that a vote for Obama is a vote against Jesus."
The tares amongst the wheat.
We shall see what is left standing after the winnowing is done.
This trial is not just for 'black Christians', it is for all Christians.
True Salamander, but I am in a position to talk to quite a few black folks who are genuinely in the dark as to who Obama is. They just haven't heard the facts. Many might well vote against him given the right information.
We live in a blessed age where information is there, free for the taking, should any seek it.
Even if they have no computer, there are very few who have no TV or radio.
[and we've had God's own word for over 2000 years]
I have a hard time excusing ignorance.
However, I hope you will supply them with the information they have not sought for themselves.
Good luck and God bless.

Big East Tourney Day Two: The Electric Boogaloo Edition
By John Radcliff ,
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories
First up is Georgetown and South Florida. Dominique Jones just missed his season average, but he didn't miss on some monster dunks. I don't know how impressive it is since I could dunk on DuPaul and I can't even dunk anymore. You get a sense that South Florida has gained some confidence from the way they ended the season and yesterday's results. Georgetown on the other hand probably doesn't feel confident in anything they are doing right now. Still, I think it's too much to ask of the Bulls to win this game. They may need it to get into the big dance, but they aren't used to playing important games. Georgetown is and they will find a way to win a close one.
Marquette vs. St. Johns: Thanks for playing SJU.
Seton Hall vs. Notre Dame: Seton Hall never seems like they are out of any game, but last night's game also shows that they are never actually in control of any game either. Notre Dame is very capable of controlling the tempo of a game like this and taking the Pirates out of their offense. This will be an ugly, physical game with the Irish moving on.
The nightcap will be a battle of wits between Punch Me Elmo and The Scarlet Pitino. Since Elmo has no wits to bring to the battle, I expect Louisville to win this one going away. We may not like Pitino, but we respect him. Elmo gets no such respect.

Chanz Moore, Mercedes Rogers honored with Gardiner Memorial Award
CROWLEY – When it came to selecting the winners of Crowley High's 2013 Gardiner Memorial Award, there wasn't much debate.
"I couldn't think of two better people to win this award," said CHS head football coach and athletic director Josh Fontenot, after presenting Chanz Moore and Mercedes Rogers with the school's highest honors at Wednesday's All-Sports Banquet at the school.
"It wasn't even close when we voted. These two are what we thought best represented Crowley High School."
Moore was a three-sport athlete for the Gents, lettering in football and track for four years and in basketball for three. He earned All-District and All-Acadia Parish honors in football and track during his junior and senior seasons and, just recently, he committed to play football at Louisiana College in Pineville beginning in the fall.
During his senior season in football, Moore hauled in 50 passes for 599 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"From the time he was a freshman, he earned everything he has ever gotten," said Fontenot. "He earned every yard, every catch, every tackle. His progress as an athlete from being a quiet guy as a freshman to being our go-to guy as a senior, it has just been phenomenal to watch."
Moore also excelled in track during the 2013 season, qualifying for the state meet in the two events. He ran the anchor leg on the Gents' third-place 4x400-meter relay team that ran a season-best time of 3:25.44. He also ran the anchor leg on the fourth-place 4x200-meter relay team that ran a 1:29.91.
"Chanz is that guy that you want running the anchor leg of every relay," said Fontenot. "He earned everything, just because he worked so hard.
"You won't find a teacher or a coach at Crowley High School that does not think Chanz doesn't deserve that award."
Moore also took home one of the two captain's awards given out in track by coach Jeptha Wall and he was presented the Gent Pride Award in football by Fontenot.
"I had a lot of LSU posters growing up and the one that sticks out the most was the "Hodson for Heisman" poster," said Fontenot of a Tommy Hodson poster. "That was the guy that represented LSU football at the time. So the Gent Pride Award is for the guy that we want on our poster…the guy that represents our program, the guy that we're all striving to be like and that's Chanz Moore."
Rogers also put together an impressive career during her four years at Crowley High.
Like Moore, Rogers was a three-sport athlete, earning letters in volleyball, basketball and track for four years.
She was an All-District and All-Acadia Parish selection for four years in each sport.
In volleyball, Rogers logged 68 kills, 24 assists, 22 digs and 41 blocks during her senior campaign.
As a basketball player, the McNeese signee was a guiding force all four years. During the 2012-13 season, she posted a double-double on the year by averaging 14 points and 11 rebounds per game. She also averaged six steals, three blocks and two assists a game.
Rogers was even more impressive in track where she qualified for the state meet in four events after winning each of them at the regional meet. She scored between 30-40 points every meet leading up to the state championship meet, where she placed second in the triple jump, third in the 100-meter hurdles and fourth in the long jump.
"Mercedes is arguably one of the best female athletes ever to go to Crowley High School," said Fontenot. "And she is a pleasant girl to be around.
"She's super, super competitive and she'll work as hard as you ask her to work. She's what you want a female athlete to be."
Rogers also took home MVP honors in all three sports she participated in — basketball, volleyball and track.
"All Mercedes is lacking is a little bit of strength, but her athletic ability is out of this world," said Fontenot. "All the coaches who have dealt with Mercedes enjoy being around her, so anytime you have a girl that you enjoy coaching and she is that athletic, it represents your school very well."

MOPAR®, the division of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group LLC that deals with Parts & Service activities and Customer Care operationsin Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) will be taking part at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show. At the Group's stands for the various automotive brands, the public will be able to see both the accessories fitted on the display cars and a selection of the most exclusive merchandising items.
The Swiss show is also the ideal occasion to launch the new www.mopar.eu site, which presents all the opportunities in the world of aftersales by MOPAR®: from services to accessories, original parts to customer care and e-commerce to the content of the technical area. With original and dynamic graphics, the innovative web platform presents the entire range of MOPAR® products offered to customers both when a car is purchased and subsequently, to personalise it with specific accessories and services.
The www.mopar.eu site features simple, intuitive navigation that permits direct access to the various themed areas packed with multimedia content: Spare Parts, Warranty, Assistance, Maintenance, Accessories and Merchandising, Technical Area, Customer Care, Alfa Romeo E-Commerce and News.
The web project is available in two complementary levels of experience:the www.mopar.eu platform focuses on a social and informative dimension, offering the user the possibility of discovering every facet of the world of MOPAR® and interacting through "social networking" functions offered by Facebook and Twitter. The second levelseesthe addition of 'personalised' navigation dedicated to all registered users, for receiving customized offers, purchasing all available accessories online,taking part in events and getting to know your car better. Thanks to all these services, the web site www.mopar.eu can be defined a true 'owner centre'. At the Geneva International Motor Show, at the stand of the Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Jeep brands, you can get a preview of the new web site's features and of all Mopar® brand services, thanks to a fun, intuitive, interactive game.
Accessories, merchandising and original parts
Accessories The accessories business represents an international market worth 70 thousand million dollars. This is Mopar®'s sphere of activity and it offers more than 25,000 high-quality accessories in more than 130 countries. "We see a constant, incredible demand for personalisation in the automotive market," says Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar®. "Whether it's boosted performance, accessories or innovative, cutting-edge technology, customers want their cars to stand out. At Mopar®, we offer a complete range and accessories specifically developed and tested in terms of quality for our vehicles."
In detail, Mopar® offers a wide range of car customisation accessories. The products are unique because they are developed hand-in-hand with the same engineering teams who designed the vehicle: this direct link is something that other aftermarket companies cannot supply. The many and exclusive accessories by Mopar can be discovered on the display cars and in dedicated areas of FGA brand stands at Geneva. Specifically, the side skirts and rear dam will be on display on the Alfa Romeo MiTo SBK, while the Giulietta will feature carbon parts – including spoiler, door mirror covers, gear lever knob and dashboard inserts – as well as the velour mats with the Giulietta logo and custom valve caps.
On the Fiat stand are some of the more than 140 unique and exclusive products dedicated to the 500L model, making it the Fiat Group Automobiles car with the greatest number of accessories available in the catalogue. Among the many: 17" white alloy wheels, valve caps with logo, velour mats, moulding on the bonnet, rear number plate holder, aluminium pedal unit and kick plate with 500L logo. Alongside the launch of the new Trekking version, new contents have been added to the rich accessories range of 500L, for example: new stickers, the 'T-box' (telematic box) , new specific 'matt silver' alloy wheels and hood mouldingand new moquette carpets matched with the new interior trim. Space is also dedicated to the accessories of the Nitro Kit, which lend further character to the Fiat Sedici under the spotlights, while the Panda 4×4 shows off the practical longitudinal bars and the innovative 'Blue&ME TomTom' navigator. Finally, on the Jeep stand, the iconic Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 2.8 CRD, with the automatic transmission, has been chosen to demonstrate a trim level personalised by Mopar®: the chrome grille and exhaust pipes, the mirror covers and the spare wheel cover, both in body colour, lend a touch of elegance to the overall aspect of the Wrangler. The additional mudguards integrated with the wings, the bonnet closing kit and the kick plate, on the other hand, represent an upgrade in terms of functionality.
Merchandising Mopar®, in collaboration with the brands of Fiat Group Automobiles, has developed a series of products conceived to communicate directly with customers. . These top-quality, highly original products are displayed in the official catalogues. They are grouped by themed areas such as, to name just a few, Clothing, Style Accessories, Design, Technology, Decorative Items and Heritage. They are all items conceived and produced for fans of the Group brands. It is an exclusive collection intended to express and portray a lifestyle that can allow customers to live out a unique brand experience. The world première of the Alfa Romeo 4C represents the ideal occasion to launch the exclusive merchandising collection inspired by the new 'super compact'. Thanks to the support of the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, the products were conceived and produced to reflect the sports essence of the new model and reinforce its premium identity, both in the design and in the materials used (aluminium, carbon, leather). This way, the connection between the model and the line of merchandising is clear and fundamental. The product range, the development of which was coordinated by Mopar®, includes various types of item: these include the more iconic, able to express the brand's image and the content of its DNA to the full, such as the all-carbon long-board, the aluminium luge and the carbon sunglasses. Then there are those designed with fashion and lifestyle in mind, such as the high-impermeability raincoat, the carbon-brushed sweatshirt with soft-shell inserts and the waterproof backpack. A more technological area is occupied by the ski goggles or snowboard with GPS connection for augmented reality, the ceramic clock and the handmade carbon and aluminium pen. The car-shaped USB drive and the carbon cover for iPhone or iPad, on the other hand, are more geared towards fun.
Alfa Romeo E-Commerce The mission of Mopar® is to interpret through its merchandising offer the DNA and the values of Fiat Group Automobiles Brands andin response to the huge demand from fans, Mopar® and Alfa Romeo are launching the new e-commerce portal right in Geneva. Fans can navigate the new dedicated online Alfa Romeo e-shop simply and intuitively to discover all the news in terms of official merchandising, which ranges from clothing to high-tech items, including the high-quality Alfa Romeo vintage line and the new line dedicated to the Alfa Romeo 4C, the captivating 'compact supercar'. The virtual store was designed to communicate and show off the reality of a historic and distinctively Italian brand that for more than a hundred years has always kept pace with the times but never forgotten its roots. The new online Alfa Romeo store is available at www.store.alfaromeo.com and can also be accessed through all official Alfa Romeo sites and through the new www.mopar.eu portal.
Original parts Only those who truly know every single detail and component of a car are able to look after it comprehensively. That's why Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat Professional, Jeep® and Abarth original parts, distributed by MOPAR®, are conceived and designed to preserve the characteristics of reliability, comfort and performance over time that the car can guarantee the moment it leaves the factory. In particular and from today, users who access the 'Original Parts' section of the www.mopar.eu site can inform themselves on the products offered by MOPAR®, accompanied by images, interesting facts and handy advice for keeping your car in perfect shape.
MOPAR® Vehicle Protection
"Mopar® Vehicle Protection" is the brand which draws up and distributes the only service contracts guaranteed by Fiat Group Automobiles: with the Mopar® Vehicle Protection maintenance plans and mechanical cover plans, customers can count on the support of qualified technicians trained by Fiat Group Automobiles, on a widespread network of authorised dealerships and on the exclusive use of original parts for the maintenance and repair of their vehicles.
Present in over 30 countries in the EMEA region, with a portfolio of more than 50 products, "Mopar® Vehicle Protection" has developed an offer which meets every customer's needs: in 2013 more than one vehicle in 4 will be supported by a Mopar® Vehicle Protection plan.
The range of Mopar® Vehicle Protection services is constantly being updated, but already offers three levels of mechanical protection, designed to extend the manufacturer's warranty, and to ensure the customer's vehicle remains efficient, with the option to choose the duration, from three to five years including the manufacturer's warrantee, and the most suitable mileage for the customer and their vehicle use:
To ensure your vehicle is always on point, Mopar® Vehicle Protection has designed two maintenance plans:
Other services are also available, designed to always ensure the best driving experience:
Roadside assistance and Customer Care
Mopar® offers Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat Professional, Jeep® and Abarth customers a roadside assistance plan active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and valid throughout Europe to offer the experience of a journey that is always unique and worry-free. Whatever their need, they can count on the free phone number for the brand of their car or they can request the same assistance through the available mobile services.This service is fully free of charge during the warranty period and after can be optionally extended for an additional fee.
Mopar® also handles Customer Care activities for Fiat Group Automobiles with five contact centres located in Italy, Serbia, Turkey, South Africa and Russia. The Customer Service Centre in Arese is the main EMEA contact centre and provides assistance to customers in 16 markets, guaranteeing performance levels and customer satisfaction indices which are among the best in the automotive sector. It has more than 400 employees ready to help in 13 languages and nearly 28,000 hours of training are provided every year.
Traditional customer services have adapted to the increasing popularity of new digital technologies in recent years. The latest Fiat Group Automobiles Customer Care apps are part of this scenario: "Ciao Fiat Mobile", "Lancia Everywhere Mobile", "Alfa Romeo InfoMobile", "I am Jeep Mobile", "Abarth24h Mobile", "Fiat Professional Mobile" and "Fiat Ducato Camper Mobile". Available for free on iPhone and Android in five languages and fifteen European countries, have attracted 172,000 downloads. From the range of available services, these are the most popular: My profile, Due dates, Owner Handbooks and Find your car. At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Lancia will be the first Group Brand to present the multilingual iPad version of the "Lancia Everywhere" mobile application. Style, dynamism and design characterise the new application for tablets created by Lancia Digital Marketing and Customer Care which features a new, engaging layout, suitable for the iPad, and a wealth of content: not just interactive buttons, but also solutions to satisfy tech-addicts, permitting particularly dynamic and direct interaction. Among the content is the Lancia TrendVisions web magazine, which promotes new ideas, inspirations and talents, stimulating and offering "Lancia Everywhere Tablet" users information on contemporary trends plus the new section dedicated to the "Up & More" contest, with designer prizes to be won every month. The Customer Care smartphone applications will also be at the Show. They were conceived and designed to offer mobile information and assistance and become an important channel for promoting products and services from Mopar® and Group Brands.To meet users' needs and following development to improve the user experience, the applications coming to Geneva will launch and react more quickly and feature new content. Among the new features, which have been available since a few days, there are two new services: "Methane and LPG filling stations" and "Warranty and maintenance". These extend the tools available for users. The first, available on the "Ciao Fiat Mobile", "Everywhere Lancia Mobile" and "Alfa Romeo InfoMobile" applications in the French, Swiss, Austrian, Belgian, Luxembourgeois and Spanish markets, allows users to display the nearest methane and LPG filling stations, either through GPS, which detects the position of the user, or manual entry of the search location. Users can consult the list of stations or, alternatively, choose one from the map view. In both cases, useful information is available, such as the prices indicated by the users, the opening hours and the route to reach the selected station. The "Warranty and maintenance" service, on the other hand, offers users of all the applications information on the main services that allow them to take care of their car, with the assistance of the Servicing Plans, extended Warranties and Roadside Assistance. The service, initially available for the Italian and Spanish markets, will be progressively rolled out for the other European markets. As further confirmation that experimentation and innovation are key to developing the Customer Care activities promoted by Mopar®, the service has turned to social networking, identifying Twitter as a new channel for interaction with Italian customers. By sending a public tweet or a private message to @FiatCareIT and @AlfaRomeoCareIT, customers and Twitter users can receive support from a team of dedicated operators.
Technical Services
Mopar® EMEA also handles Technical Services activities, through the service network, made up of dealers, workshops and authorised body shops. All customers can take advantage of a specialist technical service, through the 12 thousand service centres throughout Europe, accessible both directly, taking the car to a workshop, and through the assistance of Customer Service and Roadside Assistance (called "Free-to-go"). This generates approximately 10 million vehicles received at workshops throughout Europe. To assess satisfaction with the service, targeted telephone surveys are carried out on a significant sample of more than 200 thousand customers throughout Europe. The service network has been equipped with particularly innovative equipment such as wiTECH Plus. This is the new diagnosis equipment launched in 2011 and developed in collaboration with Chrysler, for assisting with all the cars of the Group's various brands. Portable and based on wireless technology, wiTECH Plus is always connected and updated via web. Its intuitive graphic interface permits effective diagnosis, ensuring high-quality, and rapid repairs. Additionally, wiADVISOR, the computerised reception system based on the use of tablets, is already at the pilot stage. wiADVISOR too is Wi-Fi and features software which allows all customer reception and vehicle inspection activities to be speeded up, transparently integrating the necessary documents and procedures. If, on the one hand, digital innovation and tools are developed, on the other, there is a requirement to ensure that the whole network uses them in the same way and with the appropriate staff. Through its own training division, MOPAR® Technical Service organises targeted courses for all roles in the network, assessing and certifying the various skills both in terms of technique and conduct. The provision of up-to-date services and tools to the service network allows workshop activities to be carried out autonomously and to a high standard in order to meet the needs of the customer. In any case, there may be cases in the workshop which require further assistance or Customer Care situations which warrant the highest priority. In these cases, the network can count on the support of a Technical Help Desk, available throughout Europe, which interacts with the workshop operator and with the Customer Services Centre to provide the assistance required. At times, despite the use of the most sophisticated technology, such as "remote diagnosis", the staff of the Help Desk need to inspect the car in person. It is then that genuine super-technicians known as "flying doctors" come into play; they travel to the service centre, resolve the problem and communicate the details of the solution to the central staff. The primary mission of MOPAR® Technical Service is customer satisfaction and loyalty, in combination with the profitability of the entire service network.
TechPro2 A major project for young people has been set up by agreement between Fiat Group Automobiles and the Cnos-Fap Federation (National Centre of the Salesian Society – Vocational and Professional Training): TechPro2, the professional training programme for the future technicians of the FGA workshop network, in Italy and abroad. 'TechPro2' offers a three-year course of training and work experience, to give students thorough competence and a high degree of specialisation in automotive technology. The programme meets the two-fold requirements of supplying potential specialised workers to Fiat dealers and authorised workshops and, at a social level, providing employment options to young people living in highly disadvantaged areas. This is a key project within the scope of a broader strategy by Fiat Group Automobiles with the goal of developing schemes with locally operating no-profit organisations. The students' training, theoretical and practical, takes place in the classrooms of the Salesians' Professional Training Centres. Each centre receives cars, subassemblies, components, diagnosis equipment and teaching material for repair practice from Mopar®, in addition to on-the-job training-the-trainer programmes and job training for students within the group's service network. The international dimension of the project, already active on several continents, has expanded further over the years. Today, there are more than 50 'TechPro2' centres of which 18 inItaly (the latest was inaugurated at San Donà di Piave in the presence of Don Pascual Chávez, Rector Major of the Salesians and 9th successor of St. John Bosco). In 2011 alone, approximately 2,600 students attended the schools (68% more than 2010) and nearly 1.6 million hours of training was supplied in seven different languages. The efficacy of the project has been confirmed by a survey promoted by the CNOS-FAP National Centre and conducted by the Institute of Sociology of Education of the Pontifical Salesian University of Rome on those who received a qualification from the education and vocational training one year later. The survey showed that three years after completing the course, 52% had found employment and 34% had chosen to stay in school.
eLUM: Owner Handbooks are online. Users can access therecently renewedeLUM site (aftersales.fiat.com/elum) from the MOPAR® web platform, through a rapid, comprehensive service, users can find on-board documentation for Fiat Group Automobiles cars in electronic format: from the Owner Handbook (LUM) to the supplements dedicated to the warranty, robotised gearboxes, special trim levels and infotainment devices. Entering the registration or chassis number in the home page launches an automatic search for your car's documents. Additionally, thanks to the original and dynamic graphics, the browse page guides the user as they read the documents, with pages that can be turned online, as with a book. Naturally, it is also possible to save a copy of the material on your PC or print it directly from the site. Finally, a further particular feature of eLUM is dedicated to historic car lovers: in the "eLUMVintage" section, you can consult the documents of some models that have made the history of the Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands. This is a particularly evocative area where you can breathe the vintage atmosphere of a past that still provides stylistic inspiration today.
History: worldwide integration at the service of the customer
The partnership between Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat S.p.A. is continuing by expanding the coverage of Mopar® in the EMEA area (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and integrating services, spare parts and customer service programmes. The goal is to boost support to Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep®, Lancia, SRT and Ram dealers and customers on an even more global level. The new sales strategy is the natural consequence of both auto makers' choice to share many components and systems across models to rationalise global distribution and service procedures. The result will be improved efficiency and natural consolidation to the benefit of customers. This complete service is summed up by the new slogan "Mopar®. More care for your car" that the EMEA division of Mopar® – sporting a new silver logo which distinguishes it from the blue logo of the global brand – will be using to introduce itself to the general public.
MOPAR®: one of the leading players in the international market Mopar® is the reference brand for all original parts and accessories for the Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group brands. Mopar® products are unique, as they are designed in collaboration with the same teams who define the technical specifications of vehicles from the two Groups.A single international organisation that can already take pride in truly amazing figures:
These figures admirably demonstrate the commitment of Mopar® to satisfy the customer in the best possible way, with about 70 million Chrysler Group and Fiat vehicles estimated on the road. The integration process was set in motion with the new packaging that distinguishes all of the new products. It incorporates the name Mopar® and the logos of the Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep®, Lancia, SRT and Ram brands.
The new Mopar® springs from the encounter and exchange of excellence The new MOPAR® springs precisely from the encounter and respective exchange of excellence. In particular, the experienceof Fiat Parts & Service provides the trendy personalisations and Italian-style accessories which are proving so successful also in the USA thanks to the Fiat 500. In parallel, many of the innovations that have changed the aftersales world for ever were created by MOPAR®.Some of the many innovations that Mopar® has introduced in the automotive sector are smartphone on-board information apps, owner handbooks in electronic format on DVD and in brief user-guide format, and a wireless on-board recharging system for portable devices. Mopar was also the first to transform a car into a wireless access area and the first to put EVTS (Electronic Vehicle Tracking System) on the market, an innovative positioning device which sends a text message to the owner if the car is driven too fast or too far according to preset parameters.
Mopar® brand: 76 years of success in more than 130 countries Established in 1937, the Mopar® brand (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) started making a name for itself in the 1960s – the muscle-car era. The Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodges and Plymouths equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar® started producing a specific line of "special parts" for racers and developed its racing parts division, called Mopar® Performance Parts, to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use. The brand then expanded to include the technical service and customer care business. After 76 years of activity, Mopar® is one of the leading players in the market and today it is increasingly integrated with the activities of Fiat Group Automobiles. Suffice it to say that the global range of Mopar® includes more than 500,000 spare parts and accessories distributed in over 130 countries. Its mission is to ensure that each customer of the Fiat Group Automobiles and Chrysler Group brandscan benefit from its exceptional worldwide experience in all areas of aftersales, through top-flight customer service, cutting-edge technologies and innovative, original, high-quality products.

We all love using websites that look great, but when the appearance makes it harder to use, something is wrong. I believe that form should follow function when creating a pleasant, useable and relaxed experience for your users. That doesn't mean designing ugly websites. It means designing experiences that put the user first, and work to guide them to your end goal.
Happy to get my hands dirty with HTML, CSS, Design, and Responsive websites, I'm here to make sure your users enjoy their stay.

iamVibes Clothing
Starting with their initial BigCartel website, I've been involved with all 4 iterations of the iamVibes site. We change the site with the seasons, updating with each Summer and Winter range.
Tom came to me with initial ideas on the look of the site, and I mocked up designs. We worked from there, and ultimately I created a custom HTML and CSS BigCartel store.
The store is now based on Shopify, with the current site being coded by myself.View site
Joseph Alexander Music
Joseph loved the work I did on the iamVibes site, and asked his friend Tom how to get in touch with me. He was looking for a newer, up-to-date design for his site.
I took Joseph's self-made site back to basics, and asked what he wanted at the core. For him, social and accessibility were the answers. I put twitter front and center, and made sure that everything was easy to find and get to.
Mockups were made in Photoshop, before starting with the CSS and HTML. Wufoo and SoundCloud round off the technologies used, for the contact form and music widget respectively.View preview

When chef Chip Roman was a lad and wanted things a touch on the fancy side, his grandmother would say, "Where do you think you are? The Tremont?"
She pronounced the name of the erstwhile Lansdale landmark hotel TREE-mont - and that is what Roman has named his new Center City restaurant.
The Treemont (231 S. 15th St., 267-687-2237) is a bilevel bistro in the Aria Condos. Roman (Blackfish, Mica, Ela, Tradestone Cafe, and Tradestone Confections) and business partner Victor Fellus revamped Fellus' short-lived Tietra, moving the staircase from the southern wall to the northern. This created better seating on the first floor, which is dominated by a bar at the entrance. The mezzanine level has been amped with better lighting, cool subway tiles, and a bar-topped railing that allows patrons to watch the action below.

Hi I am Phil. My wife Silvy and I have owned and managed our 400 acre farm since 1992 when I moved to Italy from the UK. We started to rent out one apartment in 2002 and enjoyed having people around so much that we decided to restore a huge old 17th century barn and farm house which we turned into 6 holiday rental apartments.
Philip Frankland purchased this farmhouse in 1991
We were lucky enough to inherit Palazzo Rosso Farm from my wife Silvy's family.
Our guests love to come and stay at Palazzo Rosso because they can enjoy the benefits of being close to many beautiful places such as Venice, Verona, Padova, Mantova and Vicenza and at the same time when they want to relax they can sit back and enjoy the farm location and beautiful surroundings at Palazzo Rosso.
The apartment was very comfortable, perfect for a family with small children. The satellite TV, DVD player & stereo made life easier when it rained. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were lots of great places to go out for dinner, the Italians all take their children out with them which was a nice change and made our evenings much more enjoyable.
There were lots of places to go and visit close by, we stayed for nearly two weeks and still didn't get to see everything.
We had a great time staying over new year, we even joined in a local new years party which was great fun.
looking forward to coming back soon.
Henry, Caroline, Sarah & Freya Iddon. Blackpool, England.
Comfortable, nice showers, enough towels, good beds, very complete kitchen.
Nice surroundings, beautiful hills, well located to the A4 highway.
We like the fire outside.
You've been very helpful and kind.
We like the fresh eggs !!

What a stunning place. I cannot fault it. We stayed with our 5 month old and were made to feel so welcome. The building is stunning. The apartments well equipped and Silvie and Phil are perfect hosts - on hand but not overbearing - Very friendly and did everything to ensure our stay was comfortable and happy.
We stayed in apartment 2 and loved having direct access to the covered barn area where we could bbq each evening and enjoy a glass of vino whilst the moon rose over the farm fields. The walls of the farm building are so thick that our little one heard nothing inside or out and slept really well.
Ideally placed for day trips to stunning Verona, Venice and Vincenza.
I almost wanted to keep this gem a secret, but Silvie and Phil deserve to get a rave review for their stunning home. I am sure we will be back!
A comfortable ground floor flat with easy access, well-equipped kitchen and very large fridge - essential - plus free use of laundry facilities all made for a very pleasant stay. The best part though is the input by Phil and Sylvie - their guidebook is detailed and they back it up with a wealth of local knowledge which makes spending time in this lovely part of Italy a real joy.
I would warmly recommend Palazzo Rosso to anyone with a love of history, culture beautiful countryside and architecture, as well as great local food and wine.
We're back next month for our tenth stay.My wife and I have visited lots of Italy(north and south) but cannot find a more agreeable place than Palazzo Rosso.
Our hosts Phil and Silvi could not be more helpful, especially suggesting places to visit.There are lots of good places to eat for all budgets or convenient shops and supermarkets if you want to cook yourself.
Now that the motorway has opened close by it is so easy to get to Venice, Verona, Lake Garda, Padua and loads more.
Kids love the farm animals, adults love the culture and relaxation. You'll have a great time.

We actually stayed in Apartment 6 on the top floor (for 6 people) but can't select this for the review.
We had a fantastic week at Palazzo Rosso in August 2014. The setting is simply superb. There are plains to the east, hills to the south, mountains to the north, and rocky gorges to the west. The buildings have been tastfully restored and there is plenty of space in the apartments, but also in the shared areas outdoors and by the pool. Our children loved feeding the varierty of animals kept on the farm but we were also able to spot some wildlife too such as otters in the river and hares in the fields. Within an hours drive is venice, verona, padua, vincenza, mantua and a multitude of ancient walled towns such as castlefranco, cittadela, soave, and montagagna. Lake Garda, the foothills of the Alps, and the coast are also within an hour and you can even reach some of the Dolomite mountain national parks if you are willing to go a little further.
Phil and Silvie made us feel very welcome indeed and were always on hand to give advice. Free eggs and apples each day were always welcome!
We would glady stay here again for another holiday in the future.
We had the pleasure of staying at Palazzo Rosso for a week in early May (2014) and I mean it was a total pleasure. After a week, I didn't want to leave, I would have stayed longer. Phil and Sylvie are wonderful hosts and make you feel so welcome. Although they are always working hard on the farm, they are always available to answer questions and give you very good suggestions on ways to spend your time. I had done hours of research, reviewing places to visit and Phil and Sylvie directed us to the best sites-- sometimes one I hadn't found on the internet and would not have wanted to miss.
The apartment was cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. A real advantage to staying here is that there are several common spaces to enjoy in addition to your apartment. The entrance room has several comfortable chairs in addition to a shelf of books/and travel guides, a refrigerator for local white wines, baskets full of lovely red wines, and a basket of farm fresh eggs. The larger common room had a pool table, which came in handy on rainy days, large comfy chairs, other games, and just in general a nice room in which to relax. The portico was our favorite spot. There were plenty of wrought iron tables and chairs on which to have your meals, with plenty of room for all who were staying there. There is a common laundry room which was very handy as well.
Phil emailed a 28 page guide to the Palazzo and the surrounding area in advance of our arrival which proved to be very practical and useful. They sent us information on how to access our apartment so that we did not have to worry about arriving at a specified time. The location was excellent for sightseeing as well; it was so conveniently located, you were in Vicenza in just a few minutes and Padua was only 20 minutes away, an easy drive. There is a new autostrada interchange nearby and we were able to drive up into the Dolomites so easily and quickly. Overall, the experience was totally satisfactory and I highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone wishing to stay in this part of Italy.

Michael John Arlen (born December 9, 1930, London, England)[1] is an Armenian-American writer and a former television critic for The New Yorker.
Arlen is the son of a prominent Armenian-American writer, Michael Arlen. Michael J. grew up in England and went to a boarding school in France prior to the outbreak of World War II. As a result of the war, Arlen's family moved to the United States and he became an American citizen at the age of 21.[2] He attended Harvard University (1948-1952), after which he worked as a reporter for Life from 1952 to 1956.[3]
He is the author of Living Room War, a book on the portrayal of the Vietnam War and American social culture by the mass media. He is also the author of Exiles and the critically acclaimed Passage to Ararat, both of which are autobiographical narratives of Arlen's Armenian ancestry.[4] Parts of Exiles and all of Passage to Ararat originally appeared in the New Yorker.[5]
For Passage to Ararat, Arlen won the U.S. National Book Award in the category Contemporary Affairs.[6]

The rugs featured here are the genuine article. These rugs were originally created out of necessity, with limited supplies and only the simplest tools. Unless your family has been rolling in money for generations, you can bet that you have a (great- or great-great-) grandmother or grandfather that made rag rugs of some variety. Rug making has always been practiced by both men and women. In some families, it was only the men who were the rug makers.
But beyond the basic techniques, traditional rugs can be showcases for design and craftsmanship, which are an asset to any home. Plus, they are a wonderful way to connect with the past and continue a family tradition. As part of our mission, we are happy to identify an old family rug for you and point you to the directions to make it.
Rugmaker's Handbook No. 6: The Lost Bohemian & Swedish Braids is finally available! We know that many of you have been waiting a very long time for the directions for the Swedish braid and the new full-color handbook has those directions for the first time ever--along with many new features and topics. One of the brand new topics is working patterns into Bohemian braid rugs and baskets like the rug shown at the right. (And, yes, we've heard from all you leftys and the directions are shown step-by-step for both right- and left-handed rug makers.)

Recently, I have started working at my local animal shelter after adopting my third kitty (Cali) from there. It was kitten season when i first meet Nikki. She was brought in with her sister after being spotted in a shed. People were coming in to look at the kittens and then one family looked at Nikki and her sister. Ultimately they decided to take her sister instead of Nikki. However, what the woman said will stick with me. She said, "I don't think i could get use to that face." I was shocked that someone would say that about such a cute kitten. About a month later Nikki was still at the shelter and i thought, this isn't right. I also knew the quicker i got her out of there the better. Around this time she has been in a cage for 3 months and i felt the longer she stayed the less likely someone would adopt her in the future. So, i said, she's ador...excuse me acatable and took her home. Now she has a big room all to herself and three older siblings to annoy.

Reviews for HELPING HONDURAS KIDS
No amount of words can express nor describe the love I have for this organization. Helping Honduras Kids is one of a kind, providing love and assistance to hundreds of children and families in Honduras. HHK built and operates a public school for children living in the impoverished mountain outside of La Ceiba, creating the opportunity for children to receive an education and a meal that they would otherwise not had access to. They also manage a children's home for children who have been abused, neglected, and/or abandoned. The amount of care and love these children receive is extraordinary. The amount of growth I have seen in the past four summers is incredible, and I cannot wait to return again this summer. The work being done their by this organization is truly amazing.

I've had the privilege of being a board member with HHK for the past 5+ years now.
Helping Honduras Kids is dedicated to improving the lives of children in a very poor part of the country, giving them the opportunity to improve their lives through love, education and support.
Having spent some time at the Hogar de Amor (orphanage) I found the children to be generally happy, flourishing and living as a family. Many of the kids previously experienced abuse and or abandonment and their challenges are many. At the Hogar they are loved and nurtured.
The Jungle School is built on the side of a mountain along the Cangregal River. It is an amazing place to visit when school is in session. You'll find it filled with children who appreciate the 'opportunity' to go to school. They navigate its steep and sometimes slippery cement-filled-tire staircase like wild gazelles, rushing to and from classrooms. It's a sight to behold! The JS provides a free education to more than 200 children, who would otherwise not be educated, giving kids a clear path forward.
Honduras is a beautiful place to visit with picturesque mountains and crystal clear turquoise waters. If you can find or make the time for a visit, it's truly a remarkable experience.
With growing programs, new classrooms and more kids, HHK is severely underfunded and always in need of donors and sponsors for the children. If you'd like to help, learn more or visit the Hogar or Jungle School go to: HelpingHondurasKids.org
In short, Helping Honduras Kids is an incredible organization that provides poor and/or orphaned children with a home, education, food, medicine, and opportunities for a better life where there would otherwise be none. Working with HHK is the highlight of my year, and I can't wait to return this summer for my 4th trip. The relationships formed with the children at the Hogar de Amor (House of Love) and Jungle school cannot be matched. Most of these children have a history of neglect and abuse, and HHK is their rescue. Serving alongside HHK allows volunteers to have a hands-on impact in changing the lives of some incredible kids. Side note: Honduras is a beautiful country.

I have led over 250 youth and college students from the States to Honduras with Helping Honduras Kids since 2007 and am constantly impressed with the work they are doing for so many along the central north coast of Honduras. They are so well-connected with the community and families in the area and have such huge hearts for providing a brighter future for them. Our students have served at the Hogar de Amor children's home, the Jungle School, with Grandma's Kids in El Porvenir, and visited several Campositas (villages). There are so many projects to help with from mixing concrete and painting to teaching classes and helping out around the children's home. Even if you cannot speak Spanish, you will be able to get around and offer something to the kids. Also, they can arrange lodging, transportation and other travel needs if you would like. Get ready to absolutely fall in love with Honduras and the staff and children of HHK.

After going to Honduras and seeing the programs and assistance that Helping Honduras Kids lend the children of Honduras, I was amazed that they are able to do so much with so little. Most of the organization is volunteer with a few paid teachers and local Tias. It was inspiring to see the kids of the Hogar with big smiles on their faces and the kids at the Jungle School so eager to learn. It's refreshing to see such good being done.
I began working with Helping Honduras Kids as a volunteer in 2006 from the USA, and have volunteered in many roles over the last 8 years. In 2010, I visited Honduras to see the Children's Home and Jungle School and my heart has forever belonged to the children I met since then. I was so impressed with the great work this organization has done to make a better future for so many children. Kids that were abandoned, abused, neglected and/or orphaned now have a beautiful home to live in; they have a great school to attend, and they have caretakers and teachers who love them and have spent many years making the children's lives better. HHK is dedicated to helping kids that have come from all kinds of abusive pasts and help them heal with the love of Christ Jesus.
In 2012 I decided to make the move to Honduras and become a permanent part of working with HHK. I became a member of their Board and serve as Secretary. I love the kids and the hugs and the laughter. Life in Honduras and with the children is not without its challenges, but all the joys and smiles make up for it all. It has been a great time of healing for the children at the Hogar de Amor over the years.
I would recommend anyone that wants to have a truly great volunteer experience should visit Honduras and help them for a month or more. There are many children who need sponsorship too, and you can be confident that your money goes to the children and the programs that you designate it to. HHK is a place of integrity and hope for many future generations of children.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Helping Honduras Kids at the Hogar de Amor and the Jungle School when we went on a mission trip last summer. We finally got to meet the girl we had been sending gifts to for Christmas. This sparked a relationship with us sponsoring her and us communicating with her via email. Helping Honduras Kids provides excellent care for these children. Thanks HHK!

HHK has had a huge impact on my life. I started volunteering at the Hogar de Amor and Jungle School when I was 16 years old, and it has become part of who I am today. The relationships I have made through my involvement in HHK has made me into the person I am today, and I plan to continue volunteering with this organization. This organization shows love and devotion to these children and helps lead the children to a relationship with The Lord. HHK is so inspiring! It is also very refreshing to know that when I donate to HHK, 100% of the money is actually being used to help the children. Once you get involved in this organization, you cannot help but fall in love with the children! Those who already sponsor a child, I strongly recommend that you visit these amazing children! You will come back with such an amazing outlook on life! I would not trade my experiences with HHK for anything in the world!

I became a sponsor in 2010, and visited for the first time in 2011...and have been continuously amazed by this ministry ever since. Between the Children's Home and the Jungle School, there are 100 children who take great joy in getting to know you, giving you hugs, showing you the games and tricks and things that they have learned how to do...and craving every second of love and attention you are willing to share with them. As you learn their stories, you begin to understand why. They win a very special place in your heart quickly, as do the leaders of HHK. The directors, teachers, housemother's, and volunteers that work with this organization are totally focused on giving these children the childhood, the family structure, nutrition, education, and relationship with Christ that will give them the best chance possible tor a bright future. They are selfless and fully committed to the wellbeing of the kids. We have been nothing but impressed with every aspect of this ministry, and have continued to increase our support as we see the needs. Knowing the character of those running HHK, and experiencing the gratitude and love freely given by the kids makes supporting Helping Honduras Kids a joy! You can easily see the impact that you are making, and that is rewarding.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
...find a way to have more funds on a monthly basis because everything costs money they don't have. I would love to see more of these bright kids go to high school, and those that excel in high school go to college. I would take more families in the mountain monthly food subsidies so that they could eat more than rice and beans, and the kids could be kids rather than gathering firewood and water. I would build a church on the mountain where the kids live, and provide better transportation.

Besides a regular donor, my wife and I take groups to volunteer at HHK. We have witnessed first hand the love and care that this organization provides to the orphaned and to the children of the Jungle School. In an age where it is hard to trust that donated dollars are being put to good use, it is a breath of fresh air to see how this organization makes every dollar we donate count! I encourage every donor to visit and see for themselves, but you might find that something more lasting will happen to you. You might think that you are going there to serve, but will quickly find how those people in need serve you with their love, gratitude, and smiles.
The only way to help individuals out of poverty is education and teaching the love of God. The organization rates an A+ on both accounts.
