Good communication, fast service and even picked up and return to place of work.
Absolutely fantastic!
I needed my Cambelt replacing and had a huge quote from my normal garage, after putting the job on this site Autosolutions gave me the best quote by far! I have never used this garage before so I didn't know what to expect but I have to say I can not fault them. They came and collected my car in the morning did the work and dropped it back in the afternoon with the work done plus a full clean inside and out with no extra charge! The quote they gave me is the quote I paid and I am more than happy to recommend Autosolutions to all my friends and family and I will definitely be using them again!
Kept my car(Skoda Octavia 1.6) for 3 weeks and told me that its ECU(The electronic control unit) is faulty. The car never fixed and I got the car back after 3 weeks. They could not diagnose the fault. I took it to the other Garage. They fixed the car in one day(4 hrs). The ECU wasn't faulty! I am a taxi driver and I was out of work for 3 weeks because of them! They lady at the reception at Autosolutions charged me £100 deposit cash ( the work they never did). She said it will be added to the total cost of repair(£800). They don't take card payment! She never gave me any invoice. A piece of advice! Don't take your car to them.... I don't believe their all positive review! They made them!
Good and fast service. However the front left brake now squeaks when driving at low speed. I hope it's only because of the new pads and it goes away with the use
Great lad collected my car in and delivered and great price too A++++
Good service.I recommend!
Very friendly and efficient service. Saved me a shed load of cash by not doing unnecessary work. Would certainly use again
Saj is a great guy. Got on very well with him. Took the car to him and left it there, he diagnosed and fixed the issue on the same day. No fuss. Great guy. I will definitely recommend his garage to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.
Excellent, truly excellent. Air con had packed in, re gassed the same day and works perfectly now. Couldn't recommend it highly enough and it was half the price of halfords.
The mechanic arrived nice and early on Saturday morning. He replaced the brake discs and pads on my car, in what seemed like a short time, despite the freezing weather outside. I am very satisfied with the work carried out and my car feels a lot safer to drive now.
Very nice guy. Sorted everything out and threw in a free service too. Would highly recommend.
Great service, Great mechanic very friendly had a good laugh and answered all questions i had, I will be using this mechanic again for a full service.
Great work, friendly guy. He really helped us out when stuck and on a Sunday too. Went above and beyond and would absolutely recommend him to anyone
Brilliant service all round. Very quick to respond, fixed my car in no time and even gave my car a winter health check. Highly recommended.
2 stars as I opened the bonnet the next day by chance to find the mechanic s cordless phone near the engine. How did it get there? This was a bit negligent and dangerous in my opinion. Apart from that incident, the cigar lighter was fixed properly.
Reg was very helpful, and tried a few times to see if the lights would go off, but to no avail.He gave us a few options as to what to do next. He was the nearest to us, and the cheapest, and yes, i would recommend him to others
Really quick service job done same day, friendly and helpful. Told me price before job so no added extras.
Great service.would recommend.
Very good and quick service. In and out in 30 mins
Absolutely spot on, very friendly and best price by a mile. Definitely recommend and will be my garage of choice from now on
Matt diagnosed fault straight away ,and repaired car swiftly .price was as quoted ,no hidden extras .would definitely recommend Bolton timing chains ,and would use them again without hesitation .5* to who can fix my car ,and bolton timing chains .
I cannot praise this company enough the price was excellent and they picked my car up done the job required and returned my car all in 1 day,also they kept me informed about when they would pick my car and when they was going to drop it off again .
Very very satisfied with this garage done a fab job came and picked my sons car up and brought it back on completion. Price was as quoted no hidden extras i would definitely recommend this garage and will return thank you
Had a difficult to find issue with my car but Bolton Timing Chains went above and beyond to help me with my car, taking it in several times (picking it up from my house on some occasions) even on a sunday. Genuine bloke with a real interest in actually fixing your problem. I will definitely be returning for any future work and would happily recommend to friends and family.
Service was great. Would reccomend
great job,highly recommended
OK, but when I got back home and opened the bonnet (same day), I noticed the cap on the screen wash reservoir was broken.
Great service very good price. Would definitely use again.

I dont see Amare Stoudemire playing for less than his original contract for the Knicks, while Carmelo Anthony on the Knicks.
here is a little good & bad history on Amare .....
In February 2011, the Knicks organization FLIP on Amare by giving soul control of the offense to Carmelo Anthony.
Amare hasnt been happy in New York, since Dec. 2010. when the Knicks team average 90 shots per game, and Amare average 18 shots to average 25 pts, 9 rbd, 3 ast, and 2 blks per game.
The addition of Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks has reduce Amare FGA from 18 shots to 8 shots per game.
Plus taking Amare out of the starter lineup to receive spot-minute playingtime.
I recall a time when the Western Conference had the Top 3 dominating PF in the NBA .. Duncan/KG/and Amare .. what they lack in youth today, they have in talent/skills/and experience.
I dont believe the Hype of Amare being "injury-prone", especially from Knicks medical staff.
Amare previous team injuries on the Phoenix Suns had reason .. to get Marbury out of Phoenix Amare played injured, to get Shaq out of Phoenix Amare played injured. When GM Steve Kerr didnt resign Star SG Joe Johnson, then traded SG Q.Brick for PF Kurt Thomas, plus added PF-Diaw, and PF-Brian, Star PF Amare played injured that season.
So the Phoenix Suns had a good reason for offering a FA Amare Stoudemire a 6 year contract with only 3 years guranteed.

Childbirth Classes
Now, more than ever, mothers and their partners are educated and involved before and during the birth of a child. Before you decide where to take a childbirth preparation class you need to learn about the different class options. Your birthing experience is very important and childbirth educators recognize and respect the differences among women's choices for delivery. How you feel about labor and pain management may determine which teaching method you feel most comfortable using. The leading methods of childbirth education are:
Classes should prepare parents by imparting knowledge about changes during pregnancy, stages and characteristics of labor, and breathing and pushing techniques. Procedures and options including medications, epidurals, anesthesia, cesarean birth and postpartum care should also be discussed.
Childbirth educators who are trained and certified by an accredited orgnization such as Lamaze International (ASPO), the American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth (AAHCC), and the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA), should have a complete understanding of labor, and the delivery expertise needed to encourage and assist the mother with enthusiasm. Most hospitals offer classes through their education program, but you should feel free to explore other childbirth class options beyond what's offered by your hospital. Class options include:

Author to promote debut novel
Patricia Harman is the author of two acclaimed memoirs, and she will be in Elkins March 9 to promote her debut novel, "The Midwife of Hope River."
Harman has spent more than 30 years caring for women as a midwife, first as a lay-midwife, delivering babies in cabins and on communal farms in West Virginia, and later as a nurse-midwife in teaching hospitals and on the faculty at Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University and West Virginia University.
"The Midwife of Hope River" centers on Patience Murphy, a lay-midwife in Appalachia during the Great Depression. Working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression, Patience takes the jobs that no one else wants, helping those most in need – and least likely to pay. She knows a successful midwife practice must be built on a foundation of openness and trust, but the secrets Patience is keeping are far too intimate and fragile for her to ever let anyone in.
Partially inspired by her own experiences, Harman proves she is a remarkable new voice in American fiction.
She is scheduled to appear at 1 p.m. March 9 at Main Line Books, 301 Davis Ave., Elkins. Light refreshments will be served.
"The Midwife of Hope River" is published by William Morrow Paperbacks.

From her lighter turns in "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun" to the riveting portrayals in "Sybil," "Norma Rae" and "Places in the Heart," there's no question iconic actress Sally Field has had her share of classic roles.
And even though she's also bridged generations with some of the roles (Mrs. Gump in "Forest Gump") and continues to earn new fans to this day with others (Aunt May in "The Amazing Spider-Man"), the two-time Oscar-winner said she never stopped pursuing, over her five decades-long career, a role that was all-encompassing.
That is, until "Lincoln" came along.
Field knows very well that her latest role as Mary Todd Lincoln, opposite Daniel Day-Lewis' President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's new historical epic, transcends everything she's ever done. Simply put, it's a role for all-time that will resonate with all generations.
"Roles do not come around very often, and I can't imagine anything every coming around like this again," Field told me in a recent interview. "Certainly she's one of the most complicated, misunderstood and unexamined women in American history. Without Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. That's just the truth."
Now playing in select cities and opening nationwide on Friday, "Lincoln" follows the tumultuous last few months in Abraham Lincoln's life in 1865, leading up to the passage of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery and his assassination shortly thereafter.
The film also closely examines the president's strained relationship with Mary Todd Lincoln. Still bereft with grief over the death of her young son, Willie (the second Lincoln child to die young after Eddie), Mary is horrified at the prospect of losing her eldest Robert Todd Lincoln (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), as he insists upon serving the Union in the Civil War instead of standing idly by.
As a mother of three sons in real life, Field said it was enormously difficult to wrap her head around the idea of playing a mother who had lost children.
"You have to learn everything you possibly can, then you take the text and you apply your own life to it and dig as far down as you possibly can go as a human being to unearth your humanness," Field explained. "I know -- knock on wood, please God -- that I've been lucky enough never to have lost a child, but unfortunately I know what grief is."
Field, who turned 66 on Election Day, said her road to "Lincoln" was a complicated one, starting, oddly enough, with finding a way to get her foot in the door. Despite her lauded body of work, Field said she wasn't exactly a lock to be in the film.
"I fought for the role. Daniel and Steven were kind enough to let me attest that I was right for it, and that I wouldn't walk away. I wouldn't get out of Steven's face, which is not like me at all. I think I was possessed by Mary," Field said with a laugh. "She had to be mine, and I fought for her and she was."
Once she was on-board, Field found out that getting the role was only one of the obstacles she would face. The next would be the time -- or lack thereof -- that she'd get to spend with her leading man before cameras started rolling. After all, Day-Lewis, a double Oscar-winner like Field, has often been heralded as one of the greatest actors of our generation -- and perhaps the most mysterious.
Per Day-Lewis' and Spielberg's request, there would be no rehearsals before filming. When Field did have exchanges with Day-Lewis in character, she said it was done in an unusual and unexpected way.
"The relationship that Daniel and I created slowly, over months and months and months, we did through texting each other," Field explained. "We created some beginnings of familiarity with each other since we texted each other, and by doing it totally in character and completely of the language of the time. It was very difficult and challenging to do."
When it came to the 11th hour, Field said she put her foot down to get a bit of time to rehearse with Day-Lewis face-to-face.
"I did demand -- within the context of Mary and very much in our characters -- that I spend the afternoon with him before we started shooting and he was gracious enough to do that," Field said. "I had to have some feeling of familiarity with him and his physicality. I had to walk with him and hold his hand and take his arm. I had to play somebody that was married to somebody for a long time -- which was 20-some-odd years at that point."
On the other side of the camera, Field said she found her director to be very accessible.
"Steven is the most exquisite, detailed, generous artist. It was the most incredible bubble that he and Daniel created for the actors to live in and be these people," Field enthused. "I found it to be absolute nirvana as an actor and at the heart of it was Steven Spielberg."
In the end, Field said, Spielberg was effectively another character on-screen in "Lincoln" -- albeit an invisible one.
"Nearly all of my scenes are with Daniel as the beloved Mr. Lincoln, but also mixed within them is Steven -- in my head, on the floor and underneath the camera. He was never far away," Field said. "I could look up at the end of the scene and meet his eyes. It was an amazingly loving, generous, supported experience all the way through and I think we all felt that."

Deer Valley
It's all in the details at No. 3-ranked Deer Valley, a fact not lost on our shrewd readers. After all, you don't get No. 1 rankings in Service, Access, On-Mountain Food, Lodging, and Dining (and No. 2 in Grooming) without making darn sure all the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted. (Or, in Deer Valley's case, the emulsions are properly emulsified and the reductions are sufficiently reduced.) Says one satisfied customer, "It's hard to find something wrong when the resort constantly pays attention to every last detail to ensure that every guest has the best possible experience." Once again, we're salivating while perusing reader comments, from the "amazing turkey chili" to the "delicious pastries" baked in-house. Readers are less effusive when it comes to issues of the wallet (Value, No. 41). "Very spendy, but hey, once a year!" Visitors' perceptions of the resort's terrain continue to be grim, with Variety coming in at No. 35 and Challenge No. 40. But one reader thinks he's got it dialed: "Deer Valley is so famous for its grooming that everyone skis the groomed runs. There's no one on the ungroomed blacks. Except me!" With Overall Satisfaction coming in at a respectable No. 5, he's not the only one pleased with the Deer Valley experience. "If I go to heaven when I die, it will be a demotion."
Family Experience
Dinner isn't usually an "experience" per se, but Fireside Dining, at Empire Canyon Lodge, is the exception. Swiss raclette, leg of lamb, soups, stews, and a chocolate fondue to die for.
Must Do
While you're in town, Kimball Arts Center, in downtown Park City, is a ski-town cultural gem.
Mandatory Run
Take in the views of the Jordanelle Reservoir from Tycoon or Stein's Way, off the Sultan chair. Tahoe-esque.

Sony may be hit by yet another attack this weekend. According to CNET, hackers are planning to attack Sony's website in the next few days. The attack is said to be a response to Sony's handling of the PSN security breach. The plan would be to publicize some or all of the data hackers were able to find on Sony's servers. This would potentially include the names, addresses and credit card numbers of more than 75 million PSN users.
NEWS: Sony To Offer "AllClear ID Plus" Identity Theft Protection For Free
A group of hackers were talking in an IRC channel when someone who either overheard or was a part of the conversation told CNET about the plan. These hackers claim to have access to Sony's servers.
This is, of course, not confirmed, especially since no one has taken credit for the attacks. In Sony's statement to the US House of Representatives they claimed to have discovered files hinting at Anonymous involvement, such as the words "We are legion." Anonymous has repeatedly denied their involvement and further condemned the theft of credit card numbers.
Sony did not get back to CNET about these reports.

Do you still have all your old games from past generation consoles? Do you still want to play them? Do they even work in the next-gen console you have? No matter what your answer to any of those questions, you should check out this week's Soapbox.
The Sess sits down to talk about the PS3 Slim's lack of backwards compatability, and uses that as a springboard to explain that while he loves playing old games once in a while, re-releasing them through digital download formats gives developers a chance to go back and fix the small bugs that originally existed in the game.

HOMESTEAD RECORD: Four top-10 finishes in 13 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Labonte feels the team has made a lot of headway in the past five or six races, and that it has a lot of momentum as it heads to Homestead. "Every time now we hit the track we feel good about our chances of running in the top 15 or better," said Labonte. "We feel good about the future of this team."
LOOKING BACK: Labonte dodged the wrecking cars in front of him on the last lap of the Phoenix race to finish 15th. "We survived today and are glad to leave here with the car in one piece," said Labonte. "It was wild there at the end. We came a long way from our starting spot (30th). The guys worked hard all day and we are leaving PIR with a top-15 finish. All in all, a good day."
ETC.: Labonte is delighted that Bobby Hutchens has come on board as the team's general manager. "I can't say enough about Bobby Hutchens," said Labonte. "He is a point of direction for us. The point man you might say. He makes sure we cross our t's and dot our i's. He helps put things in place like making sure cars are done and the guys don't have to work too late. It feels good to have good management in place. The atmosphere is really good right now."
78 KURT BUSCH, Chevrolet
Team: Furniture Row Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 25th, 391 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: One win and four top-five finishes in 11 starts. His two poles are tied for the best at the track.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch said, "Homestead is one of the weirdest tracks for me because of all the excitement that has happened through the years there as well as all of the disappointments. If you look at my past history at Homestead it's either a top-five or a win, or a DNF, a parts failure or wreck. It seems like it's been win or bust there."
LOOKING BACK: Busch rallied in the final 100 laps to finish eighth despite being involved in the last-lap wreck. "We had a great run going until a loose lug nut put us a lap down," said Busch. "We definitely had a car that was capable of winning, but you can't afford those kinds of mistakes. However, we did battle back to notch our second straight top-10 finish (a first for the team). That was a wild ending. I just stayed on the gas to get to the finish line. I did smack the wall pretty hard. I kept on going and was able to nudge (Paul) Menard for eighth."
ETC.: Crew chief Todd Berrier gave all the credit to Busch for giving the team its first back-to-back top-10 finishes in its history. "That one mistake on pit road was costly," said Berrier. "But we fought back and the credit goes to Kurt for another incredible driving performance. He can sure wheel a race car."
55 MARK MARTIN, Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 26th, 418 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Five top-10 finishes including four top-five's in 12 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Martin said, "We've had a great season. We were all new to each other when we got together last year in pre-season testing. I had always know of Rodney (Childers, crew chief), but never knew him. He's one smart crew chief. I'd put him on par with anyone in the garage. This is as good of a race team as I have worked with and I've been very fortunate in driving some really good cars over the years."
LOOKING BACK: Martin was another driver who was involved in the last-lap accident yet finished the day in the top 10. "Wow what a wild day," said Martin, who ended up 10th. "I'm fine but that was a pretty hard hit. We'll take a top-10 finish. My team worked like heck throughout the weekend to get us this top-10. I couldn't be more proud of them."
ETC.: Although Martin has yet to win a race since joining Michael Waltrip Racing last winter, he feels he could have won a couple of times this year with a "little racing luck. Our best car of the year shows up as a 35th-place finish because of the wreck in Michigan. That is what I mean. Maybe this will be our week."
22 SAM HORNISH, JR., Dodge
Team: Penske Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: His team sits 21st in the car owner standings.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His best finish in three starts is 21st.
LOOKING AHEAD: Hornish does not know what the future holds for him as he has not been told what the team's plans are for him beyond this weekend. "To have had the chance to climb back in a Sprint Cup car again this season has been a dream come true for me," said Hornish. "When the checkered flag falls on Sunday, I hope everyone can look back and say that we did a respectable job. Most of all, I hope that they all agree that I've shown a degree of competitiveness that is deserving of a (full-time) ride in Sprint Cup competition."
LOOKING BACK: Hornish and Danica Patrick bounced off of each other with 13 laps to go. Moments later, the right-front tire on Hornish's Dodge blew out sending him hard into the wall and ending his day in 31st place. "It was just a really frustrating day for our Shell-Pennzoil team," said Hornish. "We were fighting a tight condition in the center (of the corner) almost all day long. We had a 17th to 20th-place car before the contact with the 10 car."
ETC.: Crew chief Todd Gordon said, "We definitely want to end our season on a positive note. Sam has done a tremendous job since coming in to drive for us in July (after NASCAR suspended A J Allmendinger for failing a drug test). We're hoping for a very competitive weekend at Homestead. A great run on Sunday for our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge would be a super way to cap off the 2012 season."

Summary(Masterpieces of American Literature)
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" represents Irving's second comic masterpiece, a ghostly tale about things that go bump in the night. The specter in question here is the mysterious Headless Horseman, said to be a Hessian trooper who lost his head in a nearby battle. Each night he roams the countryside in search of it. The unlikely hero in this tale is Ichabod Crane, an itinerant schoolmaster, whose name suits him perfectly: "He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together."
Irving opens his tale with a marvelous and evocative description of the lush, charming Hudson Valley region of Sleepy Hollow near Tarry Town, the delightful and dreamy atmosphere pervading the place, and the tale of the Hessian trooper's ghost that supposedly roams near the churchyard. He then introduces the reader to Ichabod, a poor Connecticut Yankee who is very interested in marrying the wealthy, lovely, and flirtatious Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of the richest man in the area.
Ichabod's plan is to ingratiate himself into her life, winning her hand in marriage. He arranges to teach her psalmody and is therefore permitted to visit Katrina on a regular basis at her family's prosperous farm. His interest in Katrina, however, is less than honorable. Ichabod wants to acquire her hereditary wealth and sell it off. His chief rival is a brawny local named Brom Bones, who loves Katrina for herself. The two men despise each other; Irving adroitly contrasts Yankee opportunism with Dutch diligence. Ichabod attends a party given by Katrina's father one night and later, on his way home, meets the terrifying Headless Horseman (Brom Bones in disguise), who drives the superstitious victim out of Sleepy Hollow forever.
Unlike "Rip Van Winkle," which appears among the first pieces in The Sketch Book, Irving placed "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" last and followed it in a brief piece summarizing his final thoughts on the book. It, too, is set in the Hudson Valley, but Irving's point in this tale is markedly different. In "Rip Van Winkle" the old order gives way to the new, but the reverse is true here.
The hypocritical Yankee Ichabod is defeated by the stalwart Dutch Brom, who represents the old order. The contrast between both men could not be greater. Ichabod is a skinny, shrewd, calculating, sterile (and comic) individual, devoid of human affections, who relies on wit in his attempt to defeat his erstwhile rival. He is also a very gullible individual who believes in the supernatural, thus providing his opponent with the weapon that will destroy him. Brom, on the other hand, is a swaggering, athletic type inclined to mischievous pranks, but he does have deep romantic feelings for the beauteous Katrina. Brom is desperate to win her love, but he realizes that he cannot physically challenge his rival to a fight; hence, he devises a stratagem to prey on the schoolmaster's fear and drive him away from Sleepy Hollow.
Although "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is as familiar a tale as "Rip Van Winkle" to generations of schoolchildren, it has not had much success on the stage because of the difficulty of staging the thrilling chase scene at the end between Ichabod and the Headless Horseman. It has, however, been turned into at least three motion pictures. In 1922 the great cowboy humorist Will Rogers starred in a silent-screen version retitled The Headless Horseman. For the second, in 1949, Walt Disney created a full-length animated feature with Bing Crosby as narrator. In 1999 Tim Burton's version, Sleepy Hollow, made Ichabod Crane into a constable sent to investigate a number of murders attributed to the Headless Horseman. The tale was also made into a television film in 1980.
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is an endearing and charming tale full of good humor, yet it has serious social implications. It questions whether change and progress are better than stability and order. The old virtues of the settlers are more important than those of the destroyers. Irving sides with Katrina, who has rejected Ichabod's advances, and Brom Bones, who defeats his rival by playing on the hero's irrational fears. Irving implies that the practical man always will defeat the dreamer. With the creation of "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," even if Irving had written nothing else, he would be elevated to literary greatness, because he fashioned two great American myths that perfectly symbolized American ideals and aspirations.

According to the release, the LifeChanger of the Year is a national program sponsored by National Life Group that recognizes and rewards outstanding kindergarten through 12th-grade educators and school district employees from around the country who make a positive difference in the lives of students.

Businesses, Brushed Off by Banks, Look to Customers for Funding
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Time is tight for a/perture cinema .
The art-house movie theater in Winston-Salem, N.C., needs $50,000 to snag a lease to rent the lower level of the building that will open up space for an additional screening room and larger lobby.
But the owners are tapped out. The business' long-term debt includes a recent bank loan that is funding an expensive film-to-digital conversion.
So a/perture cinema is trying something new to find financing. The art-house is asking its customers, fans, friends and family, and other independent cinema enthusiasts to contribute to a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
"It's kind of now or never, so we need to get the community behind us and those who just want to keep art-house theaters open around the country on board," curator Lawren Desai says.
>>>4 Crowdfunding Cautions for Small Businesses
As more small businesses turn to alternative funding strategies, crowdfunding is growing in appeal.
"Plenty of filmmakers are using crowdfunding as a way to finance their projects," Desai says. "We show some of those films and so we thought, why not? We should try out the model. We have great perks to give away, we are a community-minded business and we have a good story."
So far, U.S. businesses have been able to use only donation-based crowdfunding, in which enthusiasts and do-gooders, in exchange for contributions, are given "rewards" or "tokens," such as a first-edition copy of a product. In the case of a/peture cinema, patrons will get public recognition depending on the pledge amount.
But next year, crowdfunding in the U.S. is expected to take a leap to allow for individuals to make investments -- as opposed to contributions -- in small businesses. Rules to allow accredited investors are far along, but the intention is to eventually make it so that the general public can invest a few hundred or a few thousand dollars into their local businesses.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), signed by President Barack Obama in April, included a provision to allow for smaller companies to raise up to $1 million in equity per year through crowdfunding. The rules essentially exempt the companies from certain securities laws that require them to go through Securities and Exchange Commission filing requirements in order to raise the equity.
Congress put the SEC in charge of hammering out equity crowdfunding regulations, primarily related to how crowdfunding portals would be regulated (should they be broker-dealers, for instance) as well as ensuring investor protections against fraud. The rules are supposed to be in place by Dec. 31 (with implementation in 2013), but with last week's resignation of SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, that could mean the rules will be delayed, according to an article in The Washington Post .

Nothing great about Golden State
I have to apologize for the lack of Nuggets backstage pictures. In order to get backstage pictures, you have to get backstage.
Getting back there isn't an exact science for me yet, and tonight's experiment was a flop.
Oh well look at this picture. Not bad from the third level. Here's your starting lineup.
Here's your starting Cheerleaders….Click to expand, I won't tell 🙂
It was painful to watch the Nuggets defense (or lack of it) last season, that's how it felt this evening watching the Golden State Warriors.
I figured the Nuggets had this game going into it, especially at home.
I just expected a little more from a team with "Warriors" in it's name.
Ever see one of the time/shot clocks malfunction during a game?
It was my first time.
They bust out a ladder and some poor b'sturd has to climb up and try to fix it while the whole arena is watching, and waiting.
Did I mention the that everyone is watching?
All those eyes.
People like to stare in these situations. It's like a car accident.
Do you think this dude has special non-slip shoes on for just such an occasion?
In times like this, cut the guy a break and bring out the cheerleaders.
Only they could take the crowd's focus off of this dude.
With the game paused, the players and crowd start to get restless.
For a moment, the entire world is on hold.
Talk about pressure.
The suicide rate for these guys is scary, the NBA really should do something to help these people.
At least he can't see the stares. He can only feel them.
This man is one of the NBA's unsung heros.
Carmello Anthony played just shy of 30 minutes and scored 27 points. He went 3 of 4 from the three-point range and had 9 rebounds, nice job Melo.
JR Smith played for 24 minutes and scored 15 points.
It was nice to see Balkman developing a groove with this team. He played just shy of 17 minutes and had 12 points, going 6 of 8 from field-goal range.
Linas Kleiza was played just over 27 minutes and scored 6 points. He went 0-4 from the three-point range. However, he did make this shot.
Did I mention that the Denver Nugget Cheerleaders are insane? Just check out this picture of bodies flying everywhere . Again, you can click to expand.
Just before the half, K-Mart took an ugly spill as he was going in for a layup. C.J Watson bumped him and he fell to the floor hard, landing on his right side, I cringed.
Kenyon looked like he was done for, and I was thinking "Oh man, not again".
Then all of a sudden he jumped up like nothing happened, and was back in the game. Let me tell you, the dude hit the floor hard. Props to you K-Mart, better ice that thing.
Chauncey Billups scored 16 points and added 11 assists to the mix, as the Nuggets dominate and beat the Golden State Warriors 123-105.
Nene had 11 points and was 5-6 from field-goal range.
Interesting fact: The Nuggets are 16-7 for the first time since 1976-77, which was their first year in the NBA. Go Nuggets!!
A bad picture of Invesco Field at Mile High
I'm Don the Rockpile Ranter, and I'm just happy you stopped by…The Blogtalkradio is something I'm experimenting with for possible use at Spring Training…D
5 Comments
Hey – good for you! We'd all like to have the chance to experience the game like that! And you're pictures from last night were just fine! Thanks!
Hey D,
Wow, that's really cool getting to be that close to the action. (Achoo! Ugh, stupid head cold)
I agree with Julia, your pictures from this last game are amazing. That first cheerleader picture is stunning. You definitely have a knack for taking action shots.
Julia…R-Luv, thanks…It was the opportunity of a lifetime and I realize it.
Jeff…Gotcha…Congrats on # 1 brotha, that ought to pull you a few cheerleaders right? There's got to be some perks to being the top dog? Great blog you both write, sorry for the lack of comments(I do read), I'm just not bright enough to keep up. Besides, Colorado is more of an orange and blue state. :)…D
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your blog about the Nuggets and Warriors game. I am a Warriors fan and live in the Bay Area. It's not a good year for us, but things can only go up. Keep the good blogs coming!

Batman: Arkham City ReviewBy Jason Wishnov - Posted Oct 14, 2011
Batman: Arkham City is one of the greatest games ever made. Period.
The Pros
- Unbelievable production value and art design brings Gotham to life
- A wealth of content offers spectacular value
- Polished gameplay and useful gadgets give the player an incredible number of options to take down opponents
The Cons
- Some of the advanced augmented reality gliding missions are nearly impossible
Batman: Arkham City Review:
I tried to find any reason not to give Batman: Arkham City a perfect mark. I went in looking for flaws, for mistakes, for missteps. Surely there would be some foolish design choice, some subpar voice acting, some glitch that I could lance in my ever-so-clever review, that I could use to whip the fans into an angry frenzy. This game, I vowed, could not be perfect; surely, I would find something. But hours passed, days. The credits rolled. I kept playing. Twenty-six hours of gameplay after I spun up the disc, only 67% complete by the game's telling, I dropped my controller, shaking my head.
You win, Rocksteady. You beat me. This game is perfect.
The City's Slicker
This game, were you somehow not aware, is a direct sequel, building off of the already superlative Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2008. Essentially the entire combat system and most of the gadgets from the original make a triumphant return, immediately available to the player from the start. Still, improved AI makes things a bit harder. Enemies now more actively root you from your previously safe nooks and crannies: they use night-vision goggles and preemptively destroy gargoyles, limiting your grapple points. In return, however, each room has ever more ways to sneak around, unseen, picking off foes individually. The additions to Batman's arsenal, meanwhile, are excellent: new, expanded movements off of the stun action, a dive bomb technique while gliding, and a vastly improved grappling hook that makes slinging around the city a breeze.
And what a city it is. Arkham City (a walled-off section of Gotham proper) is a masterpiece of art direction, bringing to life a world even more fully realized than that of Nolan's iconic films. Industrial-gothic architecture spirals into the always-night sky, even while decay runs rampant at street level. Every section and building is wholly unique, every alleyway bristling with the Riddler's well-placed trophies, every street a battleground between the warring factions of Arkham's supervillains.
It is quite easy, in fact, to argue that the city itself is the main attraction. Though stalking through the claustrophobic corridors of Arkham Asylum was undoubtedly fun, I didn't feel like Batman; I could have been any action hero with some dazzling array of gadgets; however, in Arkham City, things were different. To glide through the city streets, grapple up to a high tower gargoyle, activate detective mode to scan, coldly and precisely, the city streets below...it's an awesome feeling. That is to say, I was full of awe.
In Arkham City, I was Batman.
Cast and Crew
Being Batman, however, is not so nearly as fun without his cadre of supervillains with which to contend. Arkham City, its very nature precluding any possibility of contrivance, manages to squeeze nearly every major ally and antagonist in the history of the franchise into one, glorious campaign. Revealing the specifics should be considered, of course, spoiler territory, but it's worth mentioning that several major villains don't even make an appearance until you tackle their particular side missions. These completely optional objectives feel so fleshed out and rich that you would be hard pressed to tell them apart from primary story missions, alleviating a problem that has so plagued open-world games in the past.
The story is well deserving of the license, and opens with such production value that you wonder if you should rent out a local theater just for the experience. With regard to performance, Batman: Arkham City has brought together possibly the single finest voice acting ensemble in the history of gaming. Mark Hamill, of course, is a ludicrously talented standout as the Joker, but every voice of every villain brings with it gravitas and panache.
Said villains intimidate and cackle with unfettered glee in boss encounters notably improved from the game's predecessor. Batman, of course, voiced by Kevin Conroy, carries the role as well as any on-screen talent ever has, and this installment's primary antagonist, Hugo Strange, booms through Arkham's loudspeakers with devastating confidence.
Everything from the user interface, to sound production, to character design is simply dripping with that nebulous concept, "polish", ever difficult to define but so easy to recognize. From the opening second, Batman: Arkham City delivers.
Knight on the Town
While the primary campaign is more than enough, there are dozens of distractions to keep you otherwise occupied during your stay in Arkham City. There are, of course, Riddler's brainteasers and trophies making a return from Asylum, as well a pseudo-achievement system that rewards the player well with experience, which is then used to upgrade any number of devices from Mr. Wayne's arsenal. There are dozens upon dozens of character dossiers, stories, and various other items of bonus content unlocked constantly throughout the game.
There are 36 challenge maps, which test the player's combat prowess, as well as "campaigns", which allow you to select up to three modifiers that make these tests of stealth and speed more difficult, in exchange for a higher point total. There's a New Game Plus option. There are the aforementioned side missions, so robust that the player might confuse them for those required to advance the plot. There are augmented reality training courses scattered throughout the city, designed to hone your gliding skill…be sure, everyone, to complete the first set of them as soon as possible.
There is also an admittedly confusing labyrinth of DLC, bonus costumes, and alternate playable characters gummed up in the gears of retail. I only had an opportunity to play as Catwoman, whose missions are interspersed well throughout the game. She plays surprisingly similarly to Batman…minus the gadgets, of course…but Ms. Kyle's lithe combat animations are something to behold. All players may play as Catwoman after the completion of the game, regardless of DLC access, though the four bonus missions will not be available.
I do think Rocksteady's claim of "25 hours in the campaign, 15 hours afterward" is a bit unfounded, having completed the campaign (with Catwoman's additional content) in about 16 hours. But with the insane wealth of activity, you'll hardly notice. The cries for help seem never ending, and you'll be all too happy to assist.
A New King is Crowned
I wrote, earlier this year, that inFAMOUS 2 was the best superhero game ever made. It seems so sad to hold the title for so short-lived a time, but I'm afraid I have no choice but to wrest the crown from its bearer. Batman: Arkham City is a game so good that I'm not fully convinced it wasn't programmed by alien wizards. Despite my best efforts to prove otherwise, it deserves every accolade it is so sure to receive, every perfect mark it is so sure to tally.
Including, of course, my own.

Though freezing temps may make you want to hibernate, cultivating friendships with other couples can actually strengthen your own relationship, according to a study from the University of Maryland. Researchers speculate that socializing with other couples boosts marriage satisfaction in two ways: Seeing your partner interact with others allows you to learn new things about him, and observing how different duos communicate offers new insights into your relationship. To feel closer to your mate, try organizing a bowling night with other couples whose relationships you admire. Many bowling alleys are getting all souped up with DJs, sports bars, and even waiter service.
Casinos are like theme parks for adults: Besides Blackjack and slots, many have options for fine dining, spa treatments, live music, theatrical performances, and dance clubs. The array of activities are a great way to cure a case of stir-craziness when cold temperatures have kept you holed up inside.

Centrifugal Force
As if the world wasn't overflowing with enough bad news already, Iranian officials came forth on Thursday to boast of their newly installed 7,000 centrifuges, presumably to scare we evil US Americans into bowing down to their racist demands or else.
During the kangaroo court adminstration of 'Lil Bush and Smokin' Dick Cheney, this clear and present danger would have been immediately dismissed like a young Dubya D.U.I. arrest. Unfortunately, Iran is not North Korea: they are not just playing around. And thankfully the Obama adminstration is making a sincere effort to work out these serious issues.
That being said, the topic of nuclear weapons is not what interests me on this day; rather, it is the centrifugal technology behind it that leads to such scary development.
For it is this exact same technology that the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays are currently utilizing to trick their fans in to thinking they have an actual shot at competing this year. After one series apiece, both teams find themselves with more wins than losses.
The Orioles? Well, they just got lucky.
The Blue Jays? They played the Tigers.
And it's gonna be all downhill from here because let's face it: centrifugal force is and always will be a pseudo-force — one that originates from within and does not interact with other, real forces.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

The Baseball Gods thought they should give Baltimore & Toronto at least a little time at the top of the AL East standings.. and that was obviously only going to happen at the beginning of the season, so I hope they don't have their hopes up, lol.
I'm sure Allen won't appreciate that comment about Detriot, hehe..
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Good series this week, guys. Pirates, Cards put up good fights in each of the four games. Good luck with the season and … uh … Jason Motte. PS – since we are big supporters of RSBS, we hope you can support TBB with the Max Madness blog bracket (http://themax.mlblogs.com/). Please get people to vote!
AJ didn't rupture anything today, Jeff. He was fantastic, in fact. Carl Pavano, on the other hand….Well, let's just say I'm delighted that he's no longer on the Yankees.
Jeff – Can't believe I'm going to say this – RS/BS is just what I needed today! Thanks!
V — If you haven't noticed, we don't care what Allen thinks. LOL.
BB — I'll see your Motte and raise you a LaRoche😉
Jane — Pavano and Farnsworth should have their own sitcom together.
Julia — AWESOME!!!!!!
I'm assuming that if the Jays manage to win their next series against Cleveland, the major Canadian sports networks are going to start planning the parade route….
Ahhhh…..the joys of being a baseball fan in the country with only one team….🙂
They'll be partying like it's 1993, Phil!!!
If you say so, Greg. I don't believe it. My fondest memory of him is against Waino in Game 5 of the '06 WS: SWING AND A MISS!

Crash leads to felony chargeJune 11,2014Crash leads to
felony charge
BENNINGTON A local man is facing a felony charge after police said his unreasonable driving injured a passenger in his car during a crash.
Shane L. Wilkinson, 20, of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of grossly negligent operation with a serious injury resulting. Wilkinson was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer Jason Burnham of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to a one-vehicle crash on South Stream Road, near Coleville Road, in Bennington on May 15 around 6:30 p.m.
When he got to the scene, Burnham said there was a woman, Jessica Gilbert, 29, laying on the ground screaming and saying she couldnt move her legs. Burnham said he also noticed Wilkinson, who he knew from past professional encounters, yelling, I am going to be blamed for this, among other things.
Burnham said police determined that Wilkinson was driving a 2002 Subaru Legacy north on South Stream Road when he crashed while trying to pass another vehicle. Based on a crash reconstruction investigation, police said Wilkinson was speeding.
Burnham said Gilbert told him May 26 that she injured her ribs and cracked her tailbone in the crash.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

Harvard Tops Princeton, Remains in Ivy Hunt
from press release
PRINCETON, N.J. – Dean Gibbons scored three times and assisted on three other tallies, while goalie Harry Krieger recorded 15 saves, as the Harvard men's lacrosse team earned a 9-8 comeback victory at Princeton Saturday afternoon. With the win, Harvard improves to 2-3 in Ivy League play and remains in contention for a spot in the Ivy League Tournament May 6-8.
Matt Hull also added a hat trick for the Crimson, which sees its record move to 8-5 overall, marking the second time in three seasons Harvard has won at least eight games. Princeton sees its overall record fall to 4-7, and drops to 2-3 in conference action. The Crimson has now defeated the Tigers in two straight seasons for the first time since taking three straight against its Ancient Eight rival from 1986-88.
Harvard will close out its regular season by hosting Yale at Harvard Stadium Saturday, April 30 at 1 p.m. The Crimson's seven seniors (Noor Beckwith, Francis Ellis, Dean Gibbons, Greg Gilroy, Matt Hull, Andrew Parchman and Sam Steyer) will be honored in a pre-game ceremony on Senior Day. If the Crimson defeats the Bulldogs, Harvard will automatically clinch a spot in the Ivy League tournament and could still qualify for the Ivy postseason with a loss with help in other conference contests.
Despite Princeton outshooting Harvard, 45-30, the Crimson won 12-of-21 faceoffs, led by Gabriel Mendola who claimed six faceoff victories out of nine attempts. Each team collected 32 ground balls, with Harvard's Joe Petrucci picking up a game-high six ground balls. Princeton's Tyler Fiorito stopped 16 shots against the Crimson, while Alex Capretta led the Tigers with three goals.
After falling behind to the Tigers, 3-0, Gibbons notched the Crimson's first goal of the day, firing a shot past Fiorito at the 3:56 mark of the first quarter. Harvard narrowed the deficit to 3-2 when Mark Scalise sent a pass to Hull who tallied a goal on Harvard's next possession with 2:54 left in the opening stanza.
In the second, Gibbons knotted the game, 3-3, with his second goal, coming at 13:26. Jeff Cohen gave Harvard a 4-3 edge when he took a pass from Ryan Stevens and found the back of the net with 6:43 left in the first half. The Crimson extended its run to 5-0 when Terry White found Hull for his second goal at the 5:31 mark. With time winding down in the half, Gibbons made a quick pass to Hull who scored with just 1.4 seconds left, giving him his third goal of the day and Harvard a 6-3 lead heading into the break.
Harvard closed the half with a 6-0 run and owned a 16-8 advantage in shots on goal, despite the shots overall being even at 18-18. Fiorito had 10 saves at halftime for the Tigers, while Krieger made five stops in the first 30 minutes.
The Tigers ended Harvard's goal run with a tally by Chris McBride at 11:03 of the third quarter, as Princeton got within two, 6-4. The Crimson answered with scores by Jack Doyle at 10:22 and Kevin Vaughan at 7:49, as Harvard took a commanding 8-4 lead. Gibbons assisted on both tallies, as Harvard continued to control play.
After Princeton's Luke Armour made it 8-5 with a tally at 5:38, the Tigers managed another goal by Mike Grossman to get within two scores, 8-6, with 2:15 left in the frame.
Midway through the fourth, Gibbons tallied his third goal of the game, pushing Harvard's lead to 9-6 with 7:47 to go in regulation. The Tigers won the ensuing faceoff and quickly scored to stay within two goals, 9-7, with 6:50 remaining. Armour netted another goal for Princeton with 4:13 to play, as the Tigers cut Harvard's lead to one, 9-8.
With 59 seconds remaining, Krieger made a save on a shot by Princeton's Tyler Moni, and Harvard was able to grab possession and successfully clear the ball, as the Crimson held on for the victory.

Accused Evansville Murderer Faces JudgeBy: Liz Cooper, email@example.com
The man charged with first degree murder in the death of another man outside Taylor's Sport Bar in Evansville, will have his case heard before a district court judge.
23-year old Samuel Renner had his preliminary hearing this afternoon, where his attorney tried to argue there wasn't enough evidence to prove the incident was premeditated.
Evansville Detective Sergeant Bjorklund went through majority of the incident at the witness stand.
Stating Renner and a few friends were celebrating his bachelor party the night Todd Callies was shot.
Sergeant Bjorklund also testified Renner told police he was suckered punched by a man outside Taylor's Sports Bar, and that was the man Renner was trying to find, and as he stated... wanted to kill.
Natrona County Deputy Holschier took the stand as well, stating multiple witnesses saw Renner that night on his way back to Taylor's Sports Bar with two guns and had threatened them on the way over.
When Renner arrived armed at Taylor's Bar, two witnesses saw him and tried to quote, "keep him out of control."
One of those men, Todd Callies tried to apprehend Renner but was shot twice in the chest during the altercation.
Circuit Court Judge Patchen determined there was enough evidence to move the case to district court the first degree murder charge.... because Renner was told to leave the bar, and returned with two firearms.
Renner will make his appearance in district court in the coming weeks where he will formally plead to the charges of first degree, attempted first degree murder and multiple aggravated assault charges.
Samuel Renner
