Bury's Quigg, 23, said: "I know what I am capable of from when I went to America and sparred with Guillermo Rigondeaux and Jose Benavidez.
"They are better fighters than Rendall and I have held my own with them in the gym.

"Now I have - it is time to put up or shut up. I need to step up."
The talent stacked 'Road To Glory' card is Hatton Promotions biggest so far, and there will be even bigger shows later this year.

Such a nice change from my traditional potato salad -- loved the chili powder/cayenne addition. I used mayo, coarse grain dijon and all red bell pepper as that is what I had on hand and prefer. Can't wait to serve this with my New Year's dinner of blackeyed peas, cabbage, bbq ribs and cornbread. Definitely a great way to celebrate a Southern beginning to a New Year. Made for the For Your Consideration tag game.
Loved the bit of spiciness in this with the chili powder, and cayenne. I used green and red peppers in this. All in all a great addition to dinner. Made this with Natalia's Marinated Steak Tips#511739
Delicious thanks BK. I used low fat mayo and sour cream, had to use a green bell pepper instead of an orange one and garnished with sliced green onion. We loved the bit of heat from the chilli and cayenne and will be making this again.

The end of classical music?
This topic has already been discussed extensively: classical music is a thing of the past and is thus doomed to extinction. Don't you see all those "white hairs" in concert halls?
Thanks to a post in muse affiliée, I've recently discovered an article by conductor Leon Bolstein, music director of the American Symphony Orchestra and of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
Against all expectation, this article was published in the Wall Street Journal and confirmed what I was thinking: no, classical music isn't dead, but quite the opposite, concerts are going well. The number of concerts has exponentially increased during the last forty years, the number of professional orchestras too. More and more young people learn to play an instrument. "An ageing public" you'd say? Classical music has never been a young people's affair until now, and efforts made to rejuvenate the image of classical music and get new audience have just begun to bear fruit.
Would the sound reproduction be an impediment to the live concert? Would the multimedia change the culture consumer's behavior by allowing him to do his own home-concert? Though conceivable, this trend won't grow and won't be harmful to the concert, but quite the opposite. No hi-fi system will replace the unique experience of the live performance. On the contrary, discs and mp3s can make a new audience go to concerts.
These days, live performance is going well, even if we'd have to find a more flexible concept of concert allowing an audience less accustomed to the concert ritual to swell the ranks of classical music lovers. Hard to please a potential audience without dissatisfying the existing one, but with time we will make it.
And now a question for you, dear readers: how should we improve classical music concerts?

The battle over Tricare pits the efforts of the Pentagon to contain the exploding cost of health care for nearly 10 million eligible beneficiaries against the pain and emotions of those who say they have already "paid up front" with service in uniform, particularly those who deployed to America's two current wars. The 10 million figure includes active-duty personnel, retirees, members of the National Guard and Reserves and their families.
The arguments reflect the broader debate over the huge Pentagon budget that will intensify next year when Mr. Gates, who says he will step down in 2011, continues his campaign to cut off what he calls the "gusher" of defense spending. Total health care costs for the Pentagon, which is the nation's single largest employer, top $50 billion a year, a tenth of its budget and about the same amount that it is spending this year on the war in Iraq. Ten years ago, health care cost the Pentagon $19 billion; five years from now it is projected to cost $65 billion.

Soul II Soul are a British musical group formed in London in 1988. They are best known for their 1989 UK chart-topper and US Top 5 hit "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)". They won two Grammy Awards, and have been nominated for five Brit Awards – twice for Best British Group.[5]
The group initially attracted attention as a sound system, playing records at house and street parties (where their clothing style, dubbed "Funki Dred", started a line of clothing). Founded by Jazzie B and featuring a changing roster of other musicians – notably Penny Ford, Nellee Hooper, Simon Law, Phillip 'Daddae' Harvey and Caron Wheeler – Soul II Soul's experiments in music-making of their own resulted in the dub plate "Fairplay," which secured them a recording contract with Virgin Records.
Their first singles in 1988 failed to make the UK Top 40, but the group went on to commercial success in 1989 with the singles "Keep on Movin'" and "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)", which topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, and was the fifth best-selling single in the UK that year. Both tracks, which featured Wheeler on vocals, were taken from their debut album Club Classics Vol. One which reached number 1 in the UK Albums Chart and was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. In July 1989, the British music magazine, NME, reported that Soul II Soul had to pull out of their scheduled live appearance on BBC Television's Top of the Pops programme, following a dispute with the programme's producer.[6]
The group also had some success in the United States, where "Back To Life" reached the Top 10 and was certified platinum, and the album (renamed as Keep on Moving for the US market) reached the Top 20 and sold over two million copies. The group also won two Grammy Awards; Best R&B Performance by a Duo Or Group With Vocals for "Back To Life", and Best R&B Instrumental for "African Dance".
Their follow-up album, Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade, yielded two Top 10 hits, "Get a Life" and "A Dream's a Dream", the latter featuring vocals by Marcia Lewis and Victoria Wilson James. This album also reached number 1, and was certified platinum by the BPI, and reached the Top 30 in the US where it was certified gold. In April 1990, Soul II Soul got three US Soul Train awards.[7] In 1992, Penny Ford and Charlotte Kelly became the primary lead singers of the group. The band had one more Top 10 in 1992 with "Joy", taken from their third album Vol. III: Just Right, which itself peaked at number 3 and was certified gold by the BPI.
Their greatest hits album, Volume IV: The Singles 88–93, was released in late 1993 and peaked at number 10. Soul II Soul reached Volume V of their series of albums for Virgin in 1995, which peaked at number 13. The album featured "Love Enuff" (lead vocals by Penny Ford) and "I Care" (lead vocals by Charlotte Kelly). They then moved to Island Records and released two more albums in 1997, Volume VI Time for Change, peaking at number 80,[8] and the remix album @REMIX.or.jp, which failed to chart. The group then virtually disbanded for some years, but reformed for various live dates in the 2000s.
In 2002, Doreen Waddell, a former singer with Soul II Soul living in Hove, died after being hit by three cars while fleeing from a shoplifting incident. The 36-year-old, who left a 4-year-old son, sang lead vocals on Feel Free and Happiness (Dub), and backing vocals on other tracks, on the album Club Classics Vol. One. On 2 December 2008, a radio programme about Soul II Soul was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
The Soul II Soul Sound System featuring Caron Wheeler toured Australia nationally in February 2009. They played the Playground Weekender Festival near Sydney. Soul II Soul performed live at the Yasalam free concerts in conjunction with the 2009 Formula 1TM Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix celebrations in October 2009. In 2010, Soul II Soul reunited for a reunion tour with lineup consisting of: Jazzie B, Caron Wheeler, Rose Windross, Kym Mazelle, Charlotte Kelly, Aitch B, and MC Chickaboo.
After the conclusion of the reunion tour, Charlotte continued to tour with group as the lead singer. In 2013, Charlotte exited from the group and Caron Wheeler rejoined the group.

Bacon Wrapped Weiners
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 45 mins
A cousin of mine loves cooking and shares all her favorites with me. This one came several years ago, I served these to a group and the requests have never ended. These are addictive and delicious.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs Little Smokies sausages (we use Hillshire Farm)
- 1 lb bacon (real bacon, no turkey bacon or maple flavored)
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- Line large baking sheet with foil (we don't always do this, but it's easier for cleanup).
- Cut bacon into thirds, resulting in several 3" strips.
- wrap each weiner with bacon, line them loosely in the pan as you go.
- Cover with brown sugar, it'll seem like a lot of sugar, but it cooks down
- Bake 375 for 45 minutes. Broil at the end until top is crisped.
- Hurry and get your share before everyone eats them all!

These are just wonderful little treats, I have been making them for a couple of years and people just love them. You can make them ahead by wrapping the smokies in the bacon and freezing at this stag. Thaw and bake as recipe indicates
My husband and I just discussed making these for New Year's Eve and I thought I'd check to see if the recipe was posted. As indicated, these definitely are delicious and addictive! I always use a foil-lined jelly roll pan for easier clean up. I never measured the brown sugar because I didn't have an actual recipe, but I know I don't use that much. DO try these - you won't be disappointed! Thanks for posting the recipe :)
I made these for a New Year's Eve party. I used 2 pounds of bacon and almost 3 packages of cocktail weiners. I came home with an empty crock pot! I didn't use a full 2 cups of brown sugar. I liberally sprinkled the two pans with brown sugar but I know it wasn't 2 cups. The one mistake I won't make again is to line the pans with foil. They were a mess to clean up but so worth it!

Notice of Receipt of Requests To Voluntarily Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by registrants to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests, or unless the registrants withdraw their requests. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
Comments must be received on or before September 6, 2011.

Supplementary Information
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution, or use of pesticides. If you have any questions regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1 . Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from registrants to cancel 45 pesticide products registered under FIFRA section 3 or 24(c). These registrations are listed in sequence by registration number (or company number and 24(c) number) in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of this unit.
Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further review of the requests or the registrants withdraw their requests, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal Register canceling all of the affected registrations.
Table 4 of this unit includes the names and addresses of record for all registrants of the products in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of this unit, in sequence by EPA company number. This number corresponds to the first part of the EPA registration numbers of the products listed in this unit.
III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be cancelled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
The registrants in Table 4 of Unit II. have requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products that are currently in the United States and that were packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. Upon cancellation of the products identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II., EPA will allow existing stocks provisions as follows:
A. Registrations Listed in Table 1 of Unit II Except Nos. 080490-00002, 080490-00003, 080490-00004
The Agency anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products for 1 year after publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled products.
B. Registration Nos. 080490-00002, 080490-00003, 080490-00004
The Agency anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products through September 30, 2011. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing these pesticide products, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal. Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled products.
C. Registrations Listed in Table 2 of Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of these products is the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register. The registrants will be allowed to sell and distribute existing stocks until December 31, 2011. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing these pesticide products, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant will be allowed to sell and distribute existing stocks through April 30, 2012. After this date, remaining existing stocks may be used until exhausted, provided that such use complies with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the product.
D. Registrations Listed in Table 3 of Unit II
The effective date of cancellation of these products is the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register. EPA does not intend to allow the continued sale and distribution of existing stocks of these products after the effective date of this cancellation for several reasons. First, there are currently no tolerances in effect for any of the food or feed crops associated with the domestic use of these products, and there have been none since the 2009 tolerance revocations took effect on December 31, 2009, (May 15, 2009, 74 FR 23046) (FRL-8413-3). In addition, the Agency believes that little, if any existing stock remains in the hands of retailers, based on the sole registrant's repeated representation that no carbofuran products have been released for shipment since January 2010, and that they have offered to buy back unused carbofuran products. Consequently, sale of existing stocks of carbofuran is prohibited as of the effective date of this cancellation. Users may only use those carbofuran products labeled for non-food use (ornamentals, spinach grown for seed, and pine seedlings) on those specific crops and in accordance with all geographical restrictions. Any food or feed crops with carbofuran residues after this date will be considered adulterated and subject to seizure.

The Ahellil is a poetic and musical genre emblematic of the Zenete population of Gourara during their collective ceremonies. This region in southwest Algeria includes around one hundred oases populated by over 50,000 inhabitants of Berber, Arab and Sudanese origin. The Ahellil, which is specific to the Berber-speaking part of Gourara, is regularly performed at religious festivities and pilgrimages as well as secular celebrations, such as weddings and community events. The Ahellil is closely linked to the Zenete way of life and its oasis agriculture, and symbolizes the cohesion of the community living in a harsh environment. The Ahellil vehicles the values and the history of the Zenete population in a language that is at risk of disappearing.
Representing a mixture of poetry, chants, music and dance, this polyphonic musical genre is performed by a bengri (flute) player, a singer and a chorus of up to hundred people standing shoulder to shoulder surrounding the singer, who stands in the centre of the circle. The slowly move around him while clapping their hands. An Ahellil performance generally consists of a series of chants in an order decided by the instrumentalist or singer. The performance, which sometimes lasts the whole night, follows an age-old pattern. The first part that is open to all, the lemserreh, encompasses short, well-known chants that are sung until the late night. After that, the most experienced performers remain for the aougrout that is performed until the morning begins. The tra finishes with daybreak and involves only the real experts. This threefold structure is also reflected in the performance of a chant starting with a prelude, where the instrumentalist sets the pitch for the chorus. The chorus members then accompany the singer and pick up certain verses of the poem. During the final part, the chorus leads the chant from whisper to crescendo into a powerful, harmonious whole.
This tradition is threatened with disappearance because its transmission to the younger generations is no longer assured. The threat is heightened because of the dwindling number of occasions on which it is performed, the lack of availability for traditional festivities, which necessitate lengthy preparation, the migration of young people to the cities of the north and the attraction for them of more contemporary forms of music. In addition, the widespread availability of recordings of the Ahellil adds to the fragility of the practice, since people prefer to listen rather than actively participate.

Backstage: Stine Goya
I was invited backstage for the Stine Goya show (as in: officially, not only sneaking in, like I did at Ann Sofie Madsen right after the show). Back there you're surrounded by dozens of other photographers – taking pictures cheek to cheek it's rather hard to be original. Please decide for yourself if I was successful. You can see the runway pictures here.

I joined this group a few days ago. My son was born a week ago today(Thursday). He was born at 27weeks 6 days. He weighed 2lbs 13oz at birth. He lost 2 ounces the first couple of days but as of yesterday had put it all back on plus 2 ounces. He had been receiving 1 tablespoon of pumped BM and 1 tablespoon formula every 2 hours. I figured since he is growing that this was working. But they keep trying to get me to let them use 2 tablespoons of formula to help him grow. I want him to have my BM and I am producing plenty. I bring them between 12-14oz of BM each day now that I am out of the hospital. And while I was there they I was bringing them 7-8oz twice a day. And there is still some of that left over. I don't understand why they are pushing the formula so much and when I ask they just say to help him grow. Am I wrong? Should I let them start giving him more formula and less BM? I am FTM and this is all so confusing for me. So any help is appreciated.
Quick question
April wife to Lee. Proud mommy to Asher Lee! Born April 2nd at 27 weeks! and Makenna Joy born October 18th,2008!
I wouldn't stop giving him your BM! He needs that too. I would give him both right now. I don't know a lot about ths but I know they tend to grow more from the formula but I believe they also need the BM. HTH
STICK TO YOUR FEELINGS! Docs are so scared of babies and preemies in general, especially in the NICU when they want to rush feeding and getting them out of there. BM is great for your LO. The reason they want to give formula is because they can control what's in it (they can't control what you eat, drink, or smoke for that matter) and they can't control the calories. While with formula they can.
BM (I pumped for 6 weeks with my twins but my milk never came in and they got formula, so I am NOT against formula as all of my children have been on it and healthy) is very good for babies and especially preemies. If you want to continue pumping, then they should give your BM to your baby and supplement with formula to give extra calories.
Your LO is very tiny and honestly. I don't remember when we started feeding honestly (my twins were born at 29 weeks 3 pounds each) but make sure they respect your wishes and wants. You are the mom and they need to respect that. Sometimes when we are in the NICU for the first time, docs think we just don't understand and will assert themselves more than they should. Stand your ground, ask you questions, and follow your heart. You may not have complete control over your LO right now, but you are the mommy and follow your gut. You know what's best for your LO.
My NICU said the tinist about of BM even a pinch of milk, is better than nothing at all.
Good luck. (I saw you posting on my birth board April 08)

I know they added something to my milk at first to help dd grow. (They called it her rocket fuel, LOL). They never gave her formula though. Of this I am certain. However, it's been a few years since our NICU experience; perhaps things have changed?
Either way, if this is important to you(it would be to me), speak to your lo's doctor. Ask them if this is standard, and why. It seems to me that if you want your baby on only breastmilk, that should be your call. Unless I'm missing something?
I want to look back and say that I did the best I could when I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could when I was stuck in this place...
They added "Human Milk Fortifier" to my breastmilk in the beginning to increase the number of calories he was receiving. Breastmilk is 20 calories and they added enough HMF to make it 26 calories. Later as he got closer to coming home they started using formula to my milk instead of the HMF because we could get formula at the store and not HMF. In fact we still add 1 tsp of Enfacare to all of his bottles.
At first I was really upset about this addition until the doctor explained the calorie thing. The important thing is that he gets as much of your milk as possible. And start freezing the rest! Keep your pumping up because you'll be surprised how fast they will up his feedings.
Good-luck and let us know how it goes!
CDing, EBFing, ERFing, Co-Sleeping, AP Mom to my super-strong 29 weeker who is now 2 and my sweet Mae-flower - VBAC after preemie!
My twins are currently getting BM and a fortifier that helps them gain weight. The nurses and my doctor all encouraged me to provide BM and provided Lactation Consultants to assist with pumping when I was in the hospital. Are you sure it is formula that your babies are receiving and not fortifier? The fortifier that is used for my sons is by Similac and specifically is used together with BM at this early stage - but it is a small amount and my boys are receiving mostly BM. My hospital is very encouraging of BM and would not add anything to it unless it was necessary to help them grow. They all refer to BM as "liquid gold."
You should definitely talk to your doctor and your NICU nurses and get clarification on what is being given to your daughter. My NICU nurses were awesome and I never had to ask any questions, they gave me detailed updates every time I visited. Keep asking questions until you are comfortable with your daughter's care.
Good luck!
Mom to 3 boys
Personally, based on my experience, I would ask why they are using formula instead of HMF (Human Milk Fortifier).
My dd was born at 28w2d, weighing 1lb 15oz. On day 3 they started her on just my bm, tiny amounts, while getting TPN and stuff still. Eventually when she was tolerating the BM well, they started out adding HMF to it, at 1/2 the regular amount, and then the regular amount. They never gave her any formula. Like you, I was a good producer--it got to the point I never took my milk to the hospital, but instead just gave them what I pumped while there on our 4-5 visits a week (1-2 pumpings).
Although they had her on HMF right up to the day she was discharged, when I asked about it, they said she didn't need anything at home--and she went home at 3lb 15oz!
Good luck!

DD was a 28 weeker, born weighing 1lb 15oz due to IUGR
I would say NO WAY to the formula. HMF (human milk fortifier) can be added to the Expressed Breast Milk. Even if you had supply issues, donor breastmilk could be used. There is no reason for use of formula.
mom to N&H 4-9-07
28 weekers, now almost 4!!
April - My girls were born at 30 weeks and weighed the exact same as your LO. Formula has more calories than BM so that may be why they are using formula. However, with the girls, they just added a little of the high calorie formula (NeoSure) to my BM to help boost the caloric intake. We continued to do this until I stopped pumping. The NICU the girls were in insisted on using BM only, with the added calories from some formula. I would ask if they could do the same for you.

Jillian Constance Born July 26, 2008 (Born 30 weeks, 0 days)
My son also got HMF in the beginning to increase the BM to 28 cal/oz. As they weaned him off of the HMF, they switched to BM fortified with Neosure powder, which is a higher calorie formula. Eventually he was weaned to straight BM.
Wyatt (Born 03.21.08 at 28w6d)
Everett (Born 01.18.12)
#3 Due 09.15.15
They added Human Milk Fortifier to my BM which is 20 calories. They had DD eating 26 calories meals with the HMF added to BM.
No worries.

I have purchased Ford ikon flair 1.3 (AP13 G 4333) five weeks back at 1.84 Lakh and have given it on ford service the next thursday.
Before the purchase i was intimated by sales person Mr.Jahangir that the car is perfectly checked and no major problem - I just need to get general service done!!! i was told that a second key will be provided as the key existing was not in a position to start the vehicle.
Ford service feedback -
I have to replace silencer, cam shaft, Ignition coil, lock set, and rocker arm and general service which has summed to 12000+13000+8000+5000+ 2800 = 40,800/- INR. There seems to be a serious problem with A/C and it is not working.i have blindly trusted the brand Dr.Car, as there were numerous reviews on net stating the value and quality of Dr.Car. I am unfortunate enough to be laid with extra 50k expenditure. Kindly suggest me any possibility to see justice through this situation.
I have been contacting your office through telephone and let me be frank that there was NILL response and every time there would be 3 - 4 transfers of call and an automatic disconnection. I have physically visited the office and have found out that there is none available to take my complaint - 26/05/10 - 1600 Hrs. I was able to speak to Ms.Veena and she has suggested me to come again on 27th Morning.
For your info:
The car i purchased has already undergone three transfers.
Now after meeting the concerned at their office premises i was adviced to get the car back for resale. The greatest surprise to me after three weeks os my car's display at their yard is that my car will be given a value of 1.2 Lakh (as per the intimation i recieved yesterday through telephone).
I feel cheated as the car is no way in function mode and now after my complete expenses of 2,20,000 INR i am being paid by the same dealer at 1,20,000 INR. i dont understand how to justify myself.

Somerset frustrated by rain
Somerset's solid response to Nottinghamshire's 378 was halted by rain as only 37 overs were possible on day two of the LV= County Championship Division One clash at Taunton.
The hosts had moved to , 308 in arrears, when the heavens opened for the second time midway through the afternoon session. Play would not restart, with umpires Steven Garratt and Tim Robinson calling stumps at 4pm.
Earlier, Nottinghamshire added 71 to their overnight total in 10 overs thanks to some lusty hitting from Luke Fletcher and Harry Gurney, who struck 58 and 22 not out respectively.
In the two periods that Somerset batted, they were steered by Chris Jones and Nick Compton - who ended unbeaten on 37 and 31 respectively.
Nottinghamshire resumed their first innings on 327 for eight and lost Ajmal Shahzad without addition to his overnight 35, bowled by Peter Trego shouldering arms.
Gurney joined Fletcher, who - having resumed on 30 - was dropped almost immediately at long-leg. And he made Somerset pay for the mistake as he added 51 for the last wicket, before being caught by wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter trying to hook Jamie Overton.
Notts started impressively with the ball, Marcus Trescothick scoring the first run following four successive maidens. Shortly afterwards he edged Gurney to third slip as the visitors continued to prosper.
After rain caused an early lunch and the loss of 12 overs, Jones and Compton saw off the new ball and began to play with confidence.
The introduction of left-arm spinner Samit Patel almost reaped an instant reward, but James Taylor shelled a sharp chance off Jones at forward short-leg.
That would prove the last dramatic moment of the day as inclement weather curtailed proceedings.

Video: Geico Skytypers cruise over Lake Michigan before Milwaukee Air & Water Show
I had never truly appreciated Milwaukee's lakefront until I sailed over it at 1,200 feet aboard the Geico Skytyper SNJ2 -- an aircraft used in the 1940s to train World War II soldiers for single seat Mustang fighters.
The ride lent itself to an up-close-and-personal view of the city. The pilot flew with the cockpit open at 135 mph. And while the aircraft welcomed its share of jostles, shakes and full-body thrusts while cruising over Lake Michgian, the unforgettable airborn performance stirred up ample excitement for the fleet's debut at the Milwaukee Air & Water Show this weekend. »Read Full Blog Post

Post Content
The Los Angeles Times yesterday ran an eye-popping story reporting that giant internet retailer Amazon, which has steadfastly refused to act as a sales tax collector for states, is now working the other side of the street and is selling its services as a tax collector for other merchants who sell products through its site.
Amazon "is now offering to handle sales-tax chores for merchants who sell products through its site for a fee equivalent to 2.9 percent of the taxes collected," the Times reported.
The irony here is that Amazon has been at the forefront of internet retailers who have vigorously opposed efforts to make them sales tax collectors.
The LA Times called the company's decision to sell itself as a tax collector "an abrupt about face."
In California, Amazon agreed this year to abandon an effort to repeal a new Internet sales tax law passed by the state legislature and instead agreed to start collecting and remitting California's 7.25 percent sales tax, plus local taxes, beginning September 15, 2012.
In the past few months, the company's executives have said they would prefer to see national internet sales tax legislation passed, rather than have individual states pursue their own policies.
Amazon does not collect sales tax on items it ships into Massachusetts because the company has no physical presence (warehouses, distribution centers) in the state.
(Editor's Note: On November 10, the Associated Press reported that momentum is growing in Congress, with evidence of bipartisan support, for legislation to require internet retailers to collect sales tax.)
