This company is HORRIBLE. The worst I have ever dealt with in years of buying things online. The customer service department - if you can somehow get a phone call to go through - will just pick up the phone and hang it up while it is ringing. If you ...manage to get someone to actually answer the phone they tell you what you want to hear but never follow through.They sent me the wrong item and the only way to get a response was to file a claim with PayPal. Stay away from these shysters! Read more Less
Don't buy from them! I wish I would have read the reviews first. Not getting the product is one thing. Problems arise and I understand that. The real problem was the man who was supposed to be customer service. Customer service is terrible. The packa...ges never made it...EVER but what really made things worse was when the customer service rep hung up on us as we were politely giving him the account number. Then, every time we called back, he wouldn't allow us to speak and hung up or put us on hold again. Read more Less
Terrible customer service, they kept my money accuse UPS to loose the item when clearly they didn't give it to them. Then saI'd item discontinued, then blamed Axxess for not having the product. They still have the item for sale on there website. be c...areful. Help making Internet a better place by not buying from them. Read more Less
This place is a joke. I must have goteen away with one the first time I ordered from them cause it went off without a hitch. But the last time I ordered from them turned out to be a nightmare. All the previous comments about their customer service re...presentatives is true. They are truly rude which I guess is their way of making up for their incompetency. Do yourself a favor, read the reviews and dont do business with them. Read more Less
Sent a defective unit back, never heard back from them. Call their customer service and get put on death hold. This company shouldn't be allowed to be in business!
I should have read these review before buying from them. I ordered about $400 worth of stuff and like others back ordered stuff. shipped two items from one of their other warehouses (why not send everything from one where house) received the two item...s from the other location but have not yet received the other items for California yet, it has been a week so far. I order a lot of items from ebay that get shipped from cali and receive the items within three day and that's with free shipping too. I would rather pay triple the price than deal with this company. Now with calling the company on the phone hell give me flippin break the people you cant really understand when they talk. They tell you what you think you want to hear. Read more Less
Ordered a sound processor in November, arrived DOA, had a professional shop installed, did not work so I called them to have them ship me a new one, they said old one would have to be shipped back and sent for warranty repair. I explained to them it ...was brand new and I should not have to use warranty, just like if u ordered a tv from bestbuy if it did not work they would send u a new one not send it for repair. They than said it was hooked up so now it's used! I said I have to get it hooked up to see if it works there's no other way to tell. I than offered for them to charge my card for a new one and I would ship the old one back and I expected a refund as soon as they got the defective one as all the speaker wire runs to the heart of this piece and I needed it ASAP. they refused so I sent it back called my cc to dispute the charge which they took care of. I ordered it for a bit more expensive on Amazon and had no issue. I just received an email today stating they were not able to repair or replace it and I have a credit to use towards something else within 6 months, mind u this took the, 4 months later. You pay for what you get, don't be cheap order from amazon or elsewhere. Read more Less
It happened to me just like tons of other people. They confirmed the order, charged my credit card, and then informed me they were out of stock on what I ordered and suggested something "simular". Dishonest company, buyer beware!!!
ordered $1600 worth of equipment and after 9 days of no calls or emails or product, i spent 4 days calling and emailing and got nothing but excuses and lies. Finally canceled my order and bought elsewhere. Save your time and sanity- don't even bother...to try to order from them. They advertise great prices but you will never get your order. Read more Less

Report: Great Lakes only region to gain wetlands
MONROE, Mich. -- Honking geese soar overhead in a V formation, buffeted by bitter gusts off nearby Lake Erie, while flocks of mallards bob along the shore. Even blanketed in snow, the sprawling wetland in southeastern Michigan is a magnet for water birds -- one reason a public-private project is underway to improve it.
Crews are building levees, canals and pumps that will regulate water levels and upgrade fish passageways in a 946-acre section of Erie Marsh, making it a better home for wildlife and limiting the spread of invasive plants.
It's an example of decades-old efforts by government agencies and private groups to rebuild Great Lakes coastal wetlands such as swamps, bogs and marshes that have been depleted by development. A federal report released in November suggests the work is beginning to pay off.
The eight-state Great Lakes region -- extending from western New York to eastern Minnesota -- was the only section of the U.S. where coastal wetland acreage increased during a five-year period when scientists took extensive measurements with satellites and field photography.
The gain was modest -- 13,610 acres. Yet it happened as the rest of the nation's coastal wetlands shrank by 360,720 acres.
Scientists say the continental U.S. has lost roughly half the wetland acreage that existed before the European settlement era. They've been relentlessly filled and drained for farms, housing and cities.
Replacing wetlands is a goal of an Obama administration program called the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative that focuses on environmental problems.

MODURBAN – next generation urban rail systems
Partners representing major rail integrators, suppliers, operators, research centres and the Union of the European Railway Industries (UNIFE) met in Brussels on 27 January 2005 for the kick-off meeting of EU Integrated Project MODURBAN (Modular urban guided rail systems).
The aim of the MODURBAN-project is to design, develop and test innovative and open common core system architecture and key interfaces for urban guided rail systems, paving the way for the next generation urban public transport. The project covers subsystems such as control-command, energy, safety and access.
Over 75 participants were welcomed by EC Head of Unit for DG RTD, Luisa Prista, and by EC Project Officers Joost De Bock and Frederic Sgarbi. Keynote speeches were delivered by industry representatives Alcatel and Siemens. Urban rail operators Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) and Metro de Madrid, members of the MODURBAN consortium, also contributed enlightening presentations.
The project is relevant to new lines and services as well as to the renewal and extension of existing ones. Urban operators and industry should both profit economically as the targeted results will contribute to a reduction in average cost per passenger per km, a reduction in the average bidding costs, increased reliability of subsystems as well as reduced maintenance costs.
Improving service, increasing passenger numbers
A more reliable system, with more efficient maintenance systems and procedures will increase the capacity and the quality of urban transport systems and hence their attractiveness for citizens.
The principle innovations of the MODURBAN project include:
- Onboard intelligent interfaces, notably an Onboard Interchangeable Module for Automatic Train Protection, based on standardised interfaces with the Wayside Interchangeable Module for Automatic Train Protection (Operational Control Centres and ATP, including interlocking and wayside objects management);
- A integrated communication system, encompassing operation, monitoring and service functions;
- Safe access to vehicles, including door systems on automatically operated trains and platform screen doors;
- Reduction of energy consumption through innovative vehicle design, including the use of light materials, energy-friendly auxiliary systems and energy regeneration systems.
The approved budget for MODURBAN is €10.4 million. The consortium includes operators and industrial partners from the new EU Member States. An intensive communication process has also been established with those industries and operators that are not MODURBAN partners but who will also implement the results.
The European Rail supply industry was formerly represented by three France-based associations: AICMR (Association Internationale des Constructeurs de Matérial Roulant), AFEDEF (Association des Fabricants Européens d'Equipements Ferroviaires) and CELTE (Constructeurs Européens des Locomotives Thermiques et Electriques).
With the creation of the single market in 1993, there was an urgent need to focus on European transport. The three associations merged in 1991, forming UNIFE, the Union of the European Railway Industries. In 1992, UNIFE moved to Brussels. Today it represents nearly 100 leading European companies responsible for the design, manufacture, maintenance and refurbishment of guided land transport systems, subsystems and related equipments.
UNIFE includes 12 National Organisations and associated members representing 900 railway supply companies. The European rail supply industry generates €27 billion in revenues per year and employs 130 000 people. UNIFE members manufacture 60% of rail equipment worldwide.

And so it came to pass during Christmas 2009 that the music of Congo's Angels filled the heavens above eastern Congo.

And the angels sang to them, "Do not be afraid. We are with you and we love you."

Today The Cleveland International Film Festival hosted its first Day at Playhouse Square's Hanna Theatre. Festival patrons at the Hanna enjoyed screenings of the Hollywood Shorts Program, "Five Dances", "Handy" and "The Sax Man."
The Hanna Theatre opened in 1921 and went on to host such stage and film luminaries as Al Jolson, Katharine Hepbern, Henry Fonda, Ethel Barrymore, Ginger Rogers, Helen Hayes, Mary Martin and Yul Brynner.
Alan Brown, director of "Five Dances" introduced his film, as did Vincenzo Cosentino, director of "Handy." Both filmmakers hosted a Q&A following the screenings of their work.
The day concluded with a screening of the popular film, "The Sax Man." Todd Bemak, the executive producer, along with several members of the film's crew, Joe Siebert, Beau Miller and John Pope were in attendance. True to form, the sax man, Maurice Reedus, Jr., played outside the Hanna Theatre.

About the Authors
"Koch (coauthor, The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.), cofounder and CEO of Stone Brewing Company, and freelance writer and beer judge Allyn have put together an in-the-trenches-with-greatness empirical guide to beer brewing. After laying the groundwork with extremely concise nuts and bolts (with charts, print and online references, a glossary, and ingredient profiles), the authors turn to guidance, as each element of the process or varietal character trait is broken down by experts and notables. Maestros from Summit, Russian River, Schneider & Sohn, Dogfish Head, BrewDog, Fuller, Captain Lawrence, and Tugwell spill on mash and lautering, bittering hops, ales, Belgian style, lambic, brewing with fruit, barrel aging, ciders, meads, and evaluating beer. Verdict: Just as a choice session brew is guided by mood, circumstance, and season, this book is designed to be browsed as your taste dictates—not necessarily read straight through. That said, it is not to be dismissed as casual—there is heady methodology, insight, a troubleshooting guide, and evidenced trial and outcome here. For those who see beer as a means, not an end. In the best possible sense, you will need a drink to get through this." —Library Journal Xpress Review

From Beyonce to Kendrick Lamar, British singer/songwriter/producer James Blake (and Grammy nominee for best new artist) has been busy with the remixes lately.
Under his Harmonimix persona, Blake set his sights on the "m.A.A.d city" part of Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city" title track and the result is a skittery, hypnotizing remix that blends in beats, synths, and a tinkly organ over Lamar's minor-key track. In the latter half, it turns brooding and dark before going out on a lighter note.
Blake, who recently also remixed Beyonce and Jay Z's "Drunk In Love," unveiled his "m.A.A.d city" recreation on BBC Radio 1 Thursday night.
On other Blake news, Kanye West (who did his own "Drunk in Love" remix, called Blake his "favorite artist," last week and now it sounds like the two may be collaborating. Blake tells Rolling Stone "I've been in contact with him," but there was nothing definitive to report. West has said his follow-up to "Yeezus" might be a big production, comparing it to Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA." If so, Blake added, "If he wants it to sound like 'Born In The USA,' then i'm not sure if I'm the one to ask."

Earlier that same day, Jennifer Garner broke her silence about their relationship and impending divorce, in a candid Vanity Fair interview.
"It was a real marriage," Garner, 43, said of the Batman v. Superman star, 43. "It wasn't for the cameras. And it was a huge priority for me to stay in it. And that did not work."
"Ben says, 'Oh, you just don't care,' and I say, 'No, it's the opposite.' It hurts me so much, and I care so much," Garner told the magazine.
"I cannot be driven by the optics of this. I cannot let anger or hurt be my engine. I need to move with the big picture always on my mind, and the kids first and foremost."
Garner also addressed allegations that Affleck had an affair with the family's nanny (which his rep has adamantly denied).
"We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny," Garner said. "She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes."
For all the turmoil Garner said their split has caused, her heart has not grown hard.
"I didn't marry the big fat movie star; I married him," she said. "And I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again. You can't have these three babies and so much of what we had. He's the love of my life.
"What am I going to do about that? He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He's just a complicated guy. I always say, 'When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow."

The Palmer House, A Hilton Hotel
Billed as the "longest continuously operating hotel in North America."
This hotel was originally opened in 1871, just thirteen days before the Great Chicago Fire reduced it to ashes. Chicago real estate baron Potter Palmer immediately built a new hotel on the site --- at three times the size of the original and ten times the cost. It was the first Chicago hotel to have fireproofing, elevators, electricity and telephones, and was the home-away-from-home of such colorful figures as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde. Right in the middle of the Loop, this 1,639-room hotel has all the usual guest services. Although standard rooms tend to run small, they were rejuvenated with the Palmer House's history in mind, so that each is individually decorated with turn-of-the-century details and art, as well as modern amenities. Suites are more than equipped with luxurious goodies, featuring complimentary breakfast plus hors doeuvres, non-alcoholic beverages in the evening. Even without attending hotel activities such as magic performances, afternoon tea and live jazz, there's no shortage of entertainment on hand. Located on "State Street, that great street," the hotel is within walking distance of shopping, Millennium Park, Willis Tower, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum Campus.

Barracuda Raw Bar and Grill
There's not much to say about Barracuda Raw Bar and Grill (3035 Fuller St., Coconut Grove; 305-448-1144). You can smoke inside, wolf down fries and greasy burgers, and chug cheap beer. Other than a few standard features (booths, jukebox, pool table), the bar is nondescript. But what it lacks in décor, it makes up for in human oddities. Lurking in Barracuda's many dark corners, desolate souls, for the most part, keep to themselves, while high-fiving frat boys try (and fail) to steal the show.
On a recent Saturday night, bright-eyed girlfriends in jean skirts clung to their men, pretending not to hear the perverse comments spewed forth from Donny, a 57-year-old war vet and former carny. "They call me the culo bandito," he sprayed. "I got three women. Can't keep up with them. I gotta get Viagra from the VA. 'Biatches' — I call 'em that 'cause you can't call them bitches anymore." Donny took out a comb and ran it through his long, gray hair and beard. Like rings in an old tree trunk, the dark circles under his eyes told the story of his life.
Billy, the resident goth, removed his trench coat and began collecting empty beer pitchers. His flowy white shirt, with its flared sleeves and ruffled collar, could pass as a costume from Interview with a Vampire. "Touch it — it's fuzzy," he said, referring to the strip of blue flames stitched into the outer seam of his wide black pants.
"Did you get that shirt from Seinfeld?" shouted Donny.
Nearby, bikers with skull apparel flirted with a girl in a short, dirty white dress. She acted as if she were on Ecstasy, raving with a blinking key chain and rubbing it all over her body. "Eeew," Donny said after catching a glimpse of the girl's crotch, which was on display to most of the patrons. But sometimes between his vulgar comments, Donny showed he has a soul. "I miss cuddling, all that shit," he said before exploding into dry, manic laughter. — Alexandra Quiñones

Reporter Rachel Dubrovin explains the advantage of a 3-D mammogram.
"This is truly an amazing medical breakthrough," said Gritman Medical Center Director of Imaging, Doctor Christen Reisenauer.
When it comes to fighting breast cancer, Gritman Medical Center's Director of Imaging Doctor Christen Reisenauer said early detection is key.
"That's when it's most curable," said Reisenauer.
That's why Gritman recently purchased a 3-D mammography imaging modality.
"This is very unique," said Gritman Medical Center CEO Kara Besst. "The closest 3D mammography machine is down in McCall or over in the Tri-Cities."
"This represents a quantum leap over conventional mammography," said Reisenauer. "It likely represents the biggest advance in breast cancer detection in nearly 30 years."
Doctor Reisenauer said patients won't notice much of a difference. The 3-D mammography machine looks a lot like this 2-D one, and the exam takes about the same amount of time. The difference is in its detection abilities.
"One of the major limiting factors of 2-D mammography has been overlapping tissues," said Reisenauer. "With 3-D mammography, we're taking a three-dimensional image of the breast, which moves all those structures out of the way."
The doctors see a clearer picture of the breast, which increases detection rates and cuts back on the need for follow-up exams that can be stressful on patients. Doctor Reisenauer said the machine costs about a half-million dollars, and Gritman's CEO Kara Besst said the hospital made the investment to continue their commitment to women.
"We've had an emphasis on women's health for about 15 years now," said Besst. "We developed and installed a women's health center here at Gritman Medical Center, focusing on women's health because it is an important part of our mission as a hospital."
Gritman Medical Center is inviting the community to come learn about this new technology for themselves. They're holding an Open House on Monday evening at the hospital in Moscow from 5:30 to 7:30.

On 8 September, Huey Long, the Senator from Louisiana and national political figure, was assassinated. Long represented the disenchanted and radical voter during a period of economic tumult. Flamboyant, jingoistic, peremptory and corrupt, Long established himself as a national leader by capitalizing on the latent anger of underprivileged Americans. His particular brand of politics was Populist. While in the U.S. Senate, Long rose to national prominence with his fiery rhetoric and a "share-the-wealth" government program. However, Long made countless enemies in his rise to power in Louisiana; the son of one enemy, Carl Austin Weiss, exacted revenge when he shot Long in 1935

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

UPDATE: I-10 eastbound lane reopened at 10 p.m.
For over 18 hours Tuesday, eastbound traffic on Interstate 10 was diverted through Rayne as State Police closed down the eastbound lane after an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rolled over into the south side ditch between Rayne and Duson at 5:30 a.m.
In addition to the State Police, members of the Rayne Police Department and Fire Department and a hazmat teams from Houston and State Police responded to the emergency. The clean-up crews off-loaded the chemical from the overturned truck.
Because the accident occurred within Rayne's city limits, the Rayne Police are investigating the incident.
Police Chief Carroll Stelly reported by cell phone from the accident scene Tuesday afternoon that the driver suffered minor injuries, was hospitalized and released. He identified the truck as operated by Enterprise Trucking Company believed out of Houston, Texas.
The tanker truck was transporting ethylene amine, a chemical used in a variety of products including asphalt, bleach, fabric softener, fungicides, plastic lubricants and other items.
With eastbound traffic backed up beyond Crowley, Rayne police adjusted traffic signals, barricaded some adjoining side streets to cross traffic and posted officers at major intersections to direct the diverted vehicles.
The eastbound lane was reopened to traffic after 10 p.m., according to Chief Stelly.
Regarding the unfortunate situation and subsequent unbroken line of traffic through the city, Chief Stelly thanked local citizens for their patience and understanding during the major traffic delays.

Love a great book that stays with you long after you've finished it.
"Creepy Killer!"
Wow! Interesting read. Enjoyable long listen that took me down surprising roads, some I am still travelling down in contemplation. Not much about the investegation, instead you are "in the head" of the criminal and detective and what drives of them.
"Loved this book"
Yes. I really liked this book. The story kept me wanting to know just what was going to happen next.
I didn't really have a favourite, I enjoyed it all.
Yes definitely. Annie is a great story teller & brings it to life.
It didn't make me cry, it did however have me looking behind me every five minutes whilst walking my dog haha..... no, really!!
No, there is more sub plots than plot, and the side stories swamp the main story
I would have liked to explore the murderer a bit more, and I was definitely uninterested in the detectives love life
The opening scene was quite dark
Wouldn't be interested in any film or programme myself
We have a psychopathetic murderer on the loose, terrorising a small town, yet the book is all about the detectives relationship with a East End gangster and their sexual exploits
"Not for the easily offended"
Quite probably as I feel I might have missed some of the finer details - that said it is a story that bears a second read anyway.
An excellent narator, varied charactors each with their own little quirks - I always feel this adds much to the telling
No, this is a book to be enjoyed when you can relax and take it on board.
Not for anyone offended by bad language - that said it is in context.
I couldn't stop reading this book it was excellant. I have been straight on site and ordered the sequel.
I love martinis books but some can be a bit samey. This was different. The storyline was just so good.
"Good story"
Have read the book and enjoyed it on audio. A few of the accents were a bit off but well worth listening to
I found this story initially fairly good but did not like the narrator....then the story got tedious and I stopped listening about a dozen chapters in. Not recommended
Most interesting was the characters initially. Least interesting was the way I lost interest in the characters - in particular the Police style of working seemed poor compared to other authors desciptions
Nasal narrator did not appeal to me
I know Martina Cole is a best selling author. It is probable that I was simply spoilt by my favourite author - in hardback and audiobooks - Peter James is much superior
"gripping till the end"
too much misogyny and secure and violence but because I really love a good crime thriller and stayed with it. really enjoyed the story .
while driving around the country on many journeys this was a gripping story I did not want to reach the journeys end. the story is gripping you can almost be there in it your self.
loved it. I love the narrator, I can't put these books down, can't wait to go out in the car to carry on listening to it
"Had to cease after 20 percent."
Sorry Martina mate, it didn't,t cut it for me. I find I don,t get most female and British authors -or maybe I do not buy this particular kitchen sink Eastenders genre. The style is very dated 1940's not rescued by detailed crime description. I don't object to "Essex girls" (I married one) but the narration was somehow incongruous - but a genuine effort has been made.

2008 Audi A3 ProblemsCheck Engine Light and/or Hesitation Due to Failed High Pressure Fuel Pump
2.0L turbo charged engines may develop a hesitation on acceleration and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light due to a failed high pressure fuel pump or a worn camshaft follower or camshaft. Our technicians tell us that whenever the high pressure fuel pump is replaced the camshaft and the follower should be checked for wear. The camshaft lobe pushes on the follower to operate the high pressure fuel pump. Frequent oil changes and use of synthetic oil may help with this wear issue.
An engine misfire may develop from one or more cylinders resulting in a loss of power and illumination of the Check Engine Light. Our technicians tell us that ignition coil failure is a common cause for this concern. On high mileage vehicles it may be wise to consider replacing all of the ignition coils if one fails to try and avoid future misfire issues on another cylinder.
A lack of power may be noted and the Check Engine Light illuminated with various throttle system fault codes stored. Our technicians tell us this is generally caused by electrical connection issues at the throttle body. If this is the case a harness repair kit is available from Audi.
2008 Audi A3 QuestionsWater leak in spare tyre well (1 answer)
Hi guys, I own an Audi A3 3 door Hatchback. When it rains, the spare tyre well fills up with water, a lot of water actually. All the seals around the hatch itself look to be in good condition and there is no rust, the car does have a sunroof, although not sure if that matters. Any help or advice ...
Car loses power even down gas pedal is at very bottom, turned off car then back on and the emission light comes on. Any suggestions on what might be and cost to repair?
2008 Audi A3 RecallsDriver's Frontal Air Bag Inflator Ruptures And Sprays Metal Fragments
The driver's frontal air bag inflator may deploy the air bag with excessive pressure, resulting in the inflator rupturing and causing metal debris to be sprayed onto vehicle occupants. Dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator free of charge to resolve the concern.
Under extreme driving conditions, fuel can leak from the fuel tank vent valve. The internal spring may be too weak to hold the valve closed. Any fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected valve with an improved design. The recall is expected to begin by November 16, 2009. The Audi recall number is 20Q3/J3.

Curried Eggs
By Heidemarie SwanepoelToday I really did not feel like just a sandwich for a quick lunch. It's raining, and cold, and I wanted to warm up from the inside. Curry is always just the thing for me. This one is quick and easy.
2 eggs
1 chicken breast
1 small onion
½ – 1 cup boiling water
Salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon strong curry powder (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cornflour
1. Bring the eggs to the boil in boiling water. Boil till they are a softish hard boiled egg (approximately 7 minutes, depending on your altitude).
2. In the meantime, fry the chopped onion and the diced chicken in a little oil. Add the salt, pepper and curry powder. Fry for about 6 minutes. Add the water, and bring to the boil. Add the cornflour, and thicken the gravy.
3. Once the eggs are boiled, cool them under running water for a minute. Peel them carefully, and cut in half lengthwise.
4. Add them to the curry, and serve hot with rice or flat bread.

East Aurora, NY-based Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG-A ) has purchased the Pentair (NYSE: PNR ) subsidiary Aspen Motion Technologies, Moog announced Thursday, paying $34 million to acquire the motor parts manufacturer.
At a purchase price just under 1.0-times Aspen's $36 million in annual sales, Moog paid a small premium to its own 0.8 P/S ratio. However, Moog Components Group President Larry Ball explained that the company needed Aspen to fill "a product and technology gap for our existing customer base."
Financially, Moog says the purchase will be neutral to its 2013 earnings per share.
Moog shares traded down 1.3% Thursday, closing at $45.80.

Skip to comments.Extreme' tragedy - Ugly Mom Sues ABC
Posted on 09/18/2005 3:54:53 PM PDT by Hildy
LOS ANGELES - The producers of "Extreme Makeover" promised Deleese Williams "a Cinderella-like" fix for a deformed jaw, crooked teeth, droopy eyes and tiny boobs that would "transform her life and destiny." But when the ABC reality show dumped the Texas mom the night before the life-changing plastic surgeries, it shattered her family's dream and triggered her sister Kellie McGee's suicide, says a bombshell lawsuit filed in L.A. Superior Court.
As part of the premakeover hype, producers coaxed McGee and other family members to trash Williams' looks on videotape, the suit alleges. When they suddenly pulled the plug on the project, and the promised "Hollywood smile like Cindy Crawford," a guilt-ridden McGee fell apart.
"Kellie could not live with the fact that she had said horrible things that hurt her sister. She fell to pieces. Four months later, she ended her life with an overdose of pills, alcohol and cocaine," said Wesley Cordova, a lawyer for Williams.
"This family is shredded. There is a human cost to this," Cordova said.
Williams, 30, and her husband, Mike, are raising McGee's two children, along with two kids of their own. The suit seeks unspecified money damages for breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other offenses.
"Deleese is so hurt and humiliated, she won't leave the house now. She grocery shops at midnight," Cordova says.
ABC declined to comment on the allegations.
The show announcing Williams' selection for a mega makeover had already aired on Jan. 7, 2004, when the producers abruptly dropped her because the dental surgeon told them her recovery time would be longer than expected, Cordova said.
Williams was alone in a Los Angeles hotel room reading her pre-op instructions when a producer showed up and dashed her dream of a new life with a "pretty" face, the suit alleges.
"You will not be getting an extreme makeover after all. . . . Nothing. It doesn't fit in our time frame. You will have to go back to Texas tomorrow," the suit alleges she was coldly told.
Williams broke down sobbing: "How can I go back as ugly as I left? I was supposed to come home pretty," the suit says.
The 31-page complaint begins with the line "Deleese Williams is considered ugly."
It details a horrendous tale of pain and humiliation that began when she applied for the reality show in December 2003 and had to submit a "full body shot" video showing "all of the body parts that need help."
For years, Williams' friends and family "didn't notice or pretended not to notice" her homely looks, but once she got picked for the show, they were coached to focus on nothing but her physical flaws, the suit says.
In McGee's taped interview, she tried to play up her sister's good points. But the hard-nosed producers "peppered Kellie with questions about her childhood with the ugly Deleese . . . and repeatedly put words in her mouth," the suit says.
To please the producers, Williams' mother-in-law also laid it on thick. "She said things like 'I never believed my son would marry such an ugly woman.' " Cordova says.
The family's comments never aired on TV, but Williams, who was in an adjoining room, heard them all.
The experience ruined her family life.
"Now that she returned in the same condition in which she left, there were no secrets, no hidden feelings, no reward," the suit says.
McGee's "guilt was overwhelming." She OD'd on May 25, 2004, four months after the show's producers sent her sister packing.
"These programs are cheap to produce - there are no actors or screenwriters to pay. But there is a very high human cost," Cordova said.
That is what a sister does? For 36 years I've wished I had one. Now I'm glad I don't.
Horribly insensitive, the liberal way.
Maybe she'll tell her story on Jerry Springer.....
There's only so much plastic surgeons can do, you know, when Ms. Ugly is in need of a full body and head transplant.
I'm really sick of these shows. They're foul, and blowups like these are inevitable, considering how emotionally fragile the people likely to go on such shows are anyway.
I agree.
Did you even read the article? Because I can't imagine you writing something so stupid if you had actually read what happened.
Hopefully she'll become the new owner of ABC and put on some decent programming.
And yet every single one of us knows or has known someone that may have not been attractive at first meeting but as we got to know them became damn attractive because of their personality and attitude about life. Where is the TV show for these people?
The show might very well have been cold and abrupt to her, but she is not entitled to anything just because they changed their minds.
I agree that it was not nice, but God help us if that is how far our lawsuit happy country has gone.
And I HIGHLY doubt that her sister killed herself over this. Come on. And if she did, she had problems waaaaay before her sister came back.
"She fell to pieces. Four months later, she ended her life with an overdose of pills, alcohol and cocaine..."
I agree, but she needs to realize that her sister had issues way before this... You don't just suddenly use a bunch of cocaine one night and chase it back with alcohol... There had to be some serious use going on well before the night she died...
Well, I've seen just as many helped. Women who were so attractive they would frighten little children made to be attractive. I see nothing wrong with it. However, I do see something wrong with the way ABC handled this.
That's probably very true. I still hope ABC loses this one.
Surprise! ABC and show buisness types are really scumbags who shouldn't be trusted. Who woulda thought?
How many suicidal people up and go out and buy coke to commit suicide.
I think she must have had a drug problem before this...and most likely being a coke head had more to do with the suicide than anything else.
However I think the lady should get something if she actually took time out to fly to where the show was gonna get taped...but maybe the contract (assuming there was one) gave the show the right to cancel at any time.
You can have mine.
If every sister who ever said something mean to another sister felt compelled to commit suicide, there would be none of us left.
Really...the next time I see a TV show telling me how evil capitalists are ... well...what can you say.
But it makes for great "reality television."
Okay, but you have to take my brother in trade. Think long and hard before you accept that one.
I agree, these networks need to start realizing that the people's lives that they are messing with, are people's lives that they are messing with...
I get that, I have two daughters. At the age of these women though it surpasses childish nastiness and becomes horrid.
These shows really are garbage.
Honestly, if this lady choose to be on there then the family might as well has just went crazy making fun of her anyway.
With all the editing and manipulating they do, if they couldn't get you to say momma was butt ugly...they'd get a snip of you looking up at the ceiling and make you roll your eyes after they asked if you thought momma was pretty.
Theres no winning.
The only winners are those that don't watch these shows.
I hate reality TV....honestly the only reason I ever watch is to see the people cry.
Pure bull.
ABC..hoist in their own petard......:)
Let's say you're poor or struggling...and you're butt ugly to boot. You see the amazing things they do (and they truly do amazing thing to these women) and you figure what the heck...I see nothing wrong with it. Of course ABC has the right to cancel out on the whole thing...however, there's always a price to pay because these are real people with real lives.
What's pure bull?
The dead women had more going on than just trashing her sister's looks.
The media is just another snake in the grass. Some people lack the street-smarts to see that. It's a rough and tumble world, folks, and the media are NEVER your friend.
Hey now, I'm looking to reduce in number, not replace the model!
I said hateful things about my sister.
Hmmm. Now I feel bad.
I think I'll just go to my cabinet over the sink and OVERDOSE on my cocaine (which, or course, is only for recreational uses)
Unfortunately, American jurisprudence doesn't work that way. Unless, of course, the (deceased) sister was able to get ABC to sign the contract promising to pay (deceased) sister for saying bad things)...
Why can't I get clients like these????
That's ridiculous...of course it's not just about looks...but that's what this show is. I've seen it. These are people who love the person getting the makeover.
Granted, she has a very small chin, but I don't think she looks that bad.
Sisters are notorious for being brutally honest, no matter how old we get!
They emphasize all the wrong values, and think of how many lives they've affected indirectly by making people feel they need to be perfect physically to be happy.
I always wanted one, too, until I ran into multiple pairs of sisters who didn't talk to each other or had equally dysfunctional relationships. Now, I have two girls (and maybe another one on the way) and I am so nervous about how they are going to get along in the future!
My 2 sisters and I get along great most of the time...best friends in a lot of ways. We are lucky though.
"What's pure bull?"
If you can't figure it out, I can't help you.
Hard to tell but she doesn't look that bad!
And there you have it, why ABC was so wrong and unethical in this instance. We can do what we want to the "Simpsons" or "Family Guy", Even "Desperate Housewives" and no harm done, because they are NOT real.
I hope this is the end of reality TV.
Why so coy? Hildy's question was legitimate.
We have a lot of Iraq war Vets who have been permanently disfigured and who are much more deserving of help. I can't pity this woman too much just because she thinks bigger boobs are going to change her life for the better.

I get the feeling he's going to go very far. I think he'll be good at laying low in the early merge stages as other people turn on each other. He's also getting a good edit, and is VERY easy on the eyes
He looks a bit like Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel.
"In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches."
LJ seems like a good guy so far! Hope he does good!

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Sony reportedly open to sale of mobile, TV divisions
Among all the turmoil you've read regarding Sony recently, a larger narrative is taking place. The company's ability to turn a solid profit has come under scrutiny the past few years, which prompted them to sell their VAIO brand. According to a new report, Sony is also entertaining a similar move for TV and mobile. They're entertaining the sale of just about every segment they do business in, according to sources. That could spell trouble for Sony's various arms, or signal a rebirth.
