where do the shure se102's fit into their range? are they better or worse than these?
I bought a pair of the SE110's for flying and have to say they didn't sound that much better than 2 cheap Phillips noise cancelling earphones previously purchased, used without the electronics on - the hiss was so annoying switched on. also I don't think the sound isolation is that good, they don't mask the hiss of airflow over the plane anything like industrial earplugs/headphones I use for work. agreed they sound much better than bundled earphones but I think I need to try some of the top end earphones to see if they are that good but I could never justify paying that kind of money. p.s. they don't include that stupid airplane adapter, have only flown one airline with just the standard 3.5mm jack plug.
Same question, Shure 115+102=what's the difference?
Sorry, but mine is the £50-£70 area. I really don't want to spend more than £70 quid for something that I know I'm going to use nearly every day, and wear out the thin wiring before the warranty's up. I hate that balancing the weight of the earpiece forces a trade off with the cable build quality.
@GoldenGuy: That's precisely my argument for why it is worth spending lots of money on headphones. If it's something you use everyday then they quickly pay for themselves in terms of satisfaction. Unfortunately, if you're like me it also means you become complacent about having them with you all the time and end up losing them but that's really a whole other issue.
The SE102s aren't as good as these. Whether they're £30 or so 'not as good' I'm not so sure.
"the shure se 115 fit between the se 110 and se 210 in name and price" that is definitely wrong as I got my se 210's for £60
Hugo, where did you get that Baby One More Time cover from ? I think I heard it on an episode of Life and it sounded good.
Andrew - I was talking MSRP at that point.
Luan - Out-of-State Plates (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Out...
The cover in Life was Travis, incidentally, but it's not as good a version as FoW. Bowling for Soup have a good rock-ier version which I like, too.
Thanks Hugo. I'm watching a bid on ebay for the cd at the moment. :-)
spotify it ;)
I see your point Ed and I certainly won't argue with the differences in sound quality. I trade up on my mp3 player earphones ASAP. (I currently have some humble CX-400's, though I did have CX-95's before that, that I quite liked.)
No my point was that in my experience, there isn't a big enough improvement in the build quality, and I end up wearing out the 30 quid phones just as quickly as the £60-£70 ones, just before the warranty is up. I should also add that it's not like I drive over them or anything! For some reason earphone wiring just hasn't been perfected in my view - at least with anything in the mid range that I know of. Perhaps trading up to the beginning of the top end might see some build quality improvements, but I have my doubts.
It still applies as the MSRP for the white se 210's are £99.99 http://www.play.com/Electro... as are the pink se 115's.
I personally can't see the market for these earphones to be honest, even taking into account the other colours, as if they do indeed slip in between the se 210' and se 110's in price as in theory they should, but probably won't to it being a new model, which suppliers usually charge more for than older models, then there will be an actual price difference of £10 max which when spending £50-£70 on earphones isn't really an issue. Also the black ones look the same as the rest whilst the other colours would merely attract attension to the unfashionable (large and strange over ear cable method) earphones themselves.
I personally would prefer them to make a cheaper version of the se420's - same quality, to replace my se 210's which whilst superb for the
opps err PS my se 210's are good but do lack bass, quite noticeably at time, however judging by numerous reviews (including yourselves) the se 420's do step it up a notch or two, which would be just right.
Advanced MP3 Players are selling these in pink colour only for £39.99 (you can get a further 10% off using voucher code avlover). Even if they are pink, it's still a bargain. Functionality over um, looking a bit, um, girly? Gonna paint mine and walk around with black ears instead...

Asian stocks slumped today after a spike in Spanish government borrowing costs added to the uncertainty over Europe's debt crisis and a report showed new house prices in China slid last month.
Oil fell below 99 US dollars a barrel while the dollar weakened against the euro and the yen.
South Korea's Kospi tumbled 2.2% to 1,835.90 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 1.8% to 18,476.24. Japan's Nikkei 225 index slid 1.3% to 8,379.48.
Australia's S&P ASX 200 declined 1.9% to 4,177 while mainland China's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index shed 1.4% to 2,428.39.
Benchmarks in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, India and New Zealand also fell.
Events in Europe the day before left investors in Asia with little to be happy about.
Spain's government auctioned 10-year government bonds that will see the country paying interest of nearly 7% - the highest rate since 1997 and a level that many economists see as unsustainable.
France's borrowing costs also rose following an auction of midterm bonds that saw strong demand while Italian bond yields were slightly lower after new premier Mario Monti vowed to focus on restoring growth.
"Everyone is sitting on cash and not wanting to get into the market right now until there's a clearer picture in Europe," said Jackson Wong, a vice president at Tanrich Securities.
"Every time when there is news about Europe it's negative. Until they have a valid solution to solve - or at least contain - the current worries, I don't think the market will bounce back."
Investors are also starting to worry about whether US politicians will be able to find 1.2 trillion US dollars in budget cuts before a November 23 deadline. A report that the US unemployment situation improved slightly was not enough to overcome the gloom.
Adding to the pessimism, a Chinese government report showed new house prices in October fell in 33 of 70 cities measured from the month before, stoking fears about the country's once-buoyant housing market.

The battle over raw foods
Every time I visit San Francisco, I make it a point to visit Cafe Gratitude, a raw vegan restaurant that is one-of-its kind. With few of its exceptions, none of the items has been heated over 188 degrees Fahrenheit. And it boasts its menu is gluten and soy free.
If you've never been you might be surprised to see things like "live" nachos and enchiladas on its menu. And lots of great desserts (check out the recipe for the I Am Inviting Banana Creme Pie). The restaurant is a huge success and now counts seven locations, fueled by interest in omnivores eager to try something new and different.
While it's true this approach has interested more folks in the raw foods diet, it has also angered some raw food purists. These individuals believe the food being served up at "gourmet" establishments like Cafe Gratitude and Pure Food and Wine in NYC are heavily processed and full of excess calories, contrary to the "healthy" experience they claim to delivering. Author Lessley Anderson does a great job at highlighting the schism in her article The Raw Deal. The individuals she interviews feel that a true raw diet should consist of nothing more than fruits and vegetables in their natural state.
I'm curious where you, dear reader, might align yourself in this debate. Please share your comments.
Note to reader: this article can be found among other hot button food topics in The Best Food Writing 2009.

Joining forces to make things happen in the Big Apple, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen headed back to their hotel after a busy day in the city on Monday (April 22).
While one of the power twins wore her hair down while clad in all black with loafers, the other wore her hair up and accented her black outfit with a tan scarf.
Looking to check some items off of her to-do list, Ashley Olsen ran errands with a pal in New York City on Saturday (March 23).
Bundled up against the chilly Big Apple air, the actress-turned-designer and her friend chatted happily as they strolled along the busy sidewalks.
After nabbing last year's womenswear award, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen stepped out to support the hopefuls at the Council of Fashion Designers of America 2013 Awards Nomination event in New York City on Wednesday (March 13).
They're always on the go, and earlier today (March 13) Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen showed up at the Greenwich Hotel in New York City.
The fashion designers both looked uber-serious as they made their exit, both sporting oversized sunglasses so as to hide their faces from the shutterbugs.
She's been busy with all the festivities of Paris Fashion Week as of late, but this afternoon (March 1) Ashley Olsen showed up in New York City to get back to her normal routine.
Clad in an oversized furry black coat with black sunglasses and black trousers, the Row designer tried to keep to herself as she walked the streets of Manhattan.
Making rounds in Paris, France, Ashley Olsen strolled out of her luxury hotel earlier today (February 28).
The fashion designer/actress kept it simple and stylish in an all-black ensemble with oversized black sunglasses as she headed off to the Paris Fashion Week festivities.
Making the long transatlantic flight from the States, Ashley Olsen landed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France today (February 27).
The "Full House" hottie looked a bit distracted as she strolled through the terminal sporting some interesting sunglasses along with a furry green coat and black trousers.
Heading out and about on the weekend, Ashley Olsen walked the streets of New York City on Saturday (February 16).
The "To Grandmother's House We Go" star sported a long beige knit coat, black scarf, and black loafers as she went about her business.

|Medic Pouch
|500D Nylon

As it's name implies, the Boo Boo Pouch was designed to hold non-essential essentials. Killing bad guys, defending Freedom, slaying hordes of undead is serious work but sometimes a basic pouch is needed for other vital gear like a phone or chap-stick or wallet. Originally made to hold range essentials such as ear plugs, hand sanitizer, chapstick, and small bandages and offered as the "Boo Boo Kit", the pouch now comes slightly larger and empty to be filled with whatever items are needed.
Enjoying quiet success for the past few years, the Book Boo Kit has been redesigned for 2012. It has been slightly enlarged and further lightened with the patent pending Helium Whisper attachment system. The Patent Pending Helium Whisper attachment system is compatible with all MOLLE platforms and built with a combat tested, high performance laminate that reduces weight 20 to 50% while equaling or exceeding the durability of 1000D Cordura®.
The pouch measures 4" x 4" x 1" thick but can accommodate different items as the pouch is somewhat pliable in its shape. Installs on 2 columns x 2 rows of MOLLE.Almost unlimited uses, Can hold:

I can't imagine being alerted in the am with an intruder, your body has to say OK its fight time and you have to be so wired. I would say the guy who went through this once will be a little more calmer the second time.

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" If It Were 1927
Have you ever wondered what Carly Rae Jepsen's song Call Me Maybe would have been like if it were written in 1927?
We did not think so.
But, this is still a pretty cool video. There were tons of parodies and covers of the Call Me Maybe last year. But, we still think you should watch this one.

In the blackness of night he strikes, always in the same way. His victims are African-American women 19 to 49, all with histories of prostitution or drug abuse. He lures them into abandoned buildings, the police say, possibly with the promise of drugs or money for sex. And once there, he strangles or bludgeons them to death.
In one desperately decrepit neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, a serial killer has taken the lives of six women, five of them within the last year. A seventh woman was raped, but escaped alive. The authorities know from DNA evidence that the attacks are linked. But that is about all they know.
And in and around the Englewood neighborhood, one of the poorest areas of the city, even those who do not match the profile of the murder victims are becoming increasingly concerned. Just last Tuesday the body of another woman was found in a partly abandoned building in the nearby neighborhood of Washington Park. The police have not yet determined if the murder was the work of the serial killer.
''I don't go out after dark no more,'' said Johannah Cole. ''I'm afraid to.'' Ms. Cole lives with her three children and a granddaughter near the site of the latest slaying attributed to the serial killer, an abandoned tire shop where 41-year-old Constance Bailey was killed last month. ''We had a couple of prostitutes that live in this block that were killed. If I can't take care of my business before dark, I don't do it. I don't want to be the next victim.''Continue reading the main story
The Englewood slayings are the latest in a string of serial killings of prostitutes in the last two decades. In Poughkeepsie, N.Y., last year, Kendall Francois was charged with killing eight women and hiding their remains at his home. Notorious serial killers have included Joel Rifkin, who confessed to murdering 17 women he said were prostitutes on Long Island, and the Green River killer, who is believed to have killed 49 women, most of them prostitutes, in the Seattle area.
In the last few years in Chicago, six other women fitting the same profile have been killed, and the police said on Wednesday that DNA evidence had allowed them to trace those slayings to three different killers.
At a time when crime across the city and the country has plummeted, the killings in Englewood and the adjacent New City neighborhood are especially vexing to city officials and the people who live here. Crime has gone down slightly in the two police districts that encompass the Englewood area too -- from 122 slayings in 1995 to 113 in 1998. But that is still the same number of homicides as occurred in all of St. Louis last year.
And in the past eight years, two other serial killers have stalked Englewood. One of them is on death row for killing six women in 1994 and 1995, and another is facing trial in the slayings of 14 women from 1991 to 1996.
''I don't know why it's happening in Englewood,'' said Anthony J. Ivanjack, the chief of detectives for the Chicago Police Department, which has brought in the Federal Bureau of Investigation to help find the killer. ''We're trying very hard to do everything we can to stop it from happening.''
There are some clues to why this neighborhood, which began to wither with the closing of the Chicago stockyards in the 1970's, is ripe territory for a pathological killer. The neighborhood has the largest concentration of sex offenders in the city -- 190 as of last count, Chief Ivanjack said -- and those are only the ones who have complied with requirements to register with the state after their release from prison. The authorities believe that some of the sex offenders might be drawn to the area by the halfway houses and shelters that help people struggling with drug addiction, domestic violence and other problems.
The police have DNA samples from some sex offenders on the list, but none that match the killer.
In addition, the Englewood-New City area is pocked with hundreds of abandoned buildings, sometimes three or four on a block. While some have been demolished in recent years, officials are frustrated by the time it takes to identify an owner and convince a court to order the owner to fix up or tear down a building.
''You have to go right after the landlord or absentee landlords,'' Mayor Richard M. Daley said on Thursday. ''Many of the women have been killed -- dragged into abandoned buildings -- and you have to eliminate those immediately.''
In recent weeks, city officials, the police department and Alderwoman Shirley Coleman, who represents Englewood, have organized a special force to scour the streets of Englewood and other vulnerable neighborhoods, catalogue abandoned buildings and search out the mortgage companies and absentee landlords that own them. Bill Haines, a city inspector who was canvassing the neighborhood on Thursday, said in one 16-square-block area, nearly 40 abandoned buildings were found.
Outside the abandoned tire shop on 51st Street where Ms. Bailey was killed last month, a 10-year-old girl, Keisha Burnside, stopped to talk to Alderwoman Coleman, who has been pressing to demolish that building since the slaying.
''My crossing guard told me today that she saw a man in another abandoned building, a big building near the school,'' said Keisha, who had just finished a morning of summer school. Ms. Coleman took down the building's address and told Keisha to be careful.
''We have a shark among us,'' Ms. Coleman said, ''preying on people in Englewood.''
The police believe that the killer probably lives in the neighborhood and scouts the abandoned buildings in daylight.
''It's very difficult finding women who might be able to identify him,'' Chief Ivanjack said. ''All of the victims exhibited certain life-style characteristics. They seem to be very wary of law enforcement.''
In recent years, much of Englewood has been wary of law enforcement. Residents have accused the police of racism, saying officers neglected the concerns of this largely African-American neighborhood. The murder last year of an 11-year-old girl, Ryan Harris, did not help. The police, to the disbelief of many residents, charged two neighborhood boys, ages 7 and 8, in the rape and killing but were forced to drop the charges after the boys were deemed too young to have produced semen found on the girl's panties.
But residents and community leaders say that this time the police have been much more responsive, organizing community meetings, handing out leaflets and encouraging neighborhood watch patrols.
''Even though there have been some problems with the police, everybody is on the same side here,'' said Josephine Robinson, the area director of the Chicago Commons Mary McDowell Settlement House, where many of the victims attended support groups or sought counseling. Women in her program are warning other women, especially those who have to ride buses to jobs after dark.
''We all are nervous,'' said Robert Foster, 68, a retired shoe repairman, who lives with his wife, daughter and two teen-age granddaughters near where Ms. Bailey was killed. ''We got an abandoned building across the street from me and one down the street from me. It can happen to anyone.''Continue reading the main story

Know Your Superpower? 5 Steps To Reaching Your Creative DestinyPosted: 9th of October, 2013
There will always be mystery in the future, but knowing your talent will help you make it through. And thrive.
When I was 12 years old, I saw Star Wars in the theater at least six times. When I got home from the sixth screening, I ran straight to my mother and said, "Mom, Luke Skywalker knows his destiny and I know mine. My destiny is to help people achieve their creative destiny." I've been lucky to be able to do so ever since. At Yahoo, I spend my days building and empowering our transformative talent, and hopefully I can help you grow your career too.
I think one of the most daunting and compelling things about life is the mystery of the unknown. It's hard to see the plan for growth when you're so focused on the day-to-day. The future becomes a far off idea that you can't quite imagine, let alone figure out how to build.
When I'm speaking with Yahoo employees, I advise them on five simple steps that help clear a path for career growth. These tips help you focus on the big picture, which helps the business succeed, and ultimately helps you succeed. As a self-proclaimed comic book junkie, I've appropriately dubbed them . . .
1. Know your superpowers.
What are you good at? Chances are you have felt an interest in your superpower all your life. Think about what you love and what you excel at. Think back to your childhood, passions, hobbies, and interests. When you feel "in your zone" and time passes quickly, what are you doing? Capitalize on that. And as Batman taught us, anyone can be a hero--no matter how "super" your powers are.
2. Know who you're working for and who you want to work for.
Gain an understanding for how the decision makers on your team think. What are they looking for? Why did they hire you? What skills do you need to impress them to get to the next level?
3. Understand their needs and the company's needs (this is key!).
Depending on the level of transparency in your company, this can be really easy or really difficult, but it is crucial. In order to excel, you must learn the goals of the company, your department and your manager. You can then shape your individual goals around them (and use your superpowers to achieve them).
4. Deliver.
Deliver on the business goals you've outlined. By your review, you will have succeeded in meeting the high-level business needs of the company.
5. Take risks to stretch, grow, and learn.
This is just physics. You must be operating above your level in order to be considered for the next one. So don't be afraid to take on a challenge.
There will always be mystery in the future, and as you work on your career superpowers--both identifying and learning how to use them--you can never know definitively where they will lead you. And you don't need to. Einstein said that 52% of all great creativity is accidental, so be ready to grab opportunity and own your career development.
Whether your career is just beginning or you're well into your journey, I hope these tips will help you take ownership, grow, and ultimately lead you to reaching your creative destiny--whatever that may be.
Remember, Bruce Wayne as Batman can't fly, he doesn't transform himself when he's angry. He just fights bad guys. And does a really good job.
--Sandy Gould is the senior vice president of global talent acquisition and development at Yahoo. Previously, he lead recruitment for the Disney/ABC Television Group, where he was responsible for talent acquisition and talent development initiatives.

Master Inventors at Yahoo!Posted: 7th of June, 2013
At Yahoo!, Master Inventor Awards are given to recognize and reward some of the company's top innovators. The criteria are not just about the number of patents, but also the inventor's contribution to innovation and their capacity and experience in mentorship. We had a chance to interview some of them on their great work and suggestions to junior inventors.
Why is Yahoo a good place for developers and inventors?
Peter Mika: Yahoo! is a great place for inventors of all kinds. Yahoo! Labs in particular is unique in the industry in that it's renown both for scientific excellence externally and for having a huge impact on Yahoo!'s businesses.
Tarun Bhatia: It's a great place for developers and engineers. There's much room for creative solutions. We have many interesting problems with the potential of meaningful impact, large amounts of data, adequate resources, and a unique and fun culture. I love how many disciplines we embrace to solve our business challenges – economics, social sciences, artificial intelligence, distributed computing, etc. Each day is like being back in school, only better.
What are you working on now?
Tarun Bhatia: Right now, I'm trying to see if we can real-time assess how we affect a user with each interaction in a session. This has significant marketplace implications. Imagine how effectively we could delight our users and advertisers if every serve-time decision is consciously informed by this assessment.
What advice do you have for more junior inventors?
Ron Jacoby: Find something you are passionate about. Work to really understand the current state of technology and business of that market. Find the opportunities that exist. Develop your ideas and plan. And never take No as a final answer; use it as feedback to further develop your ideas and pitch.
Tarun Bhatia: Best advice I received was - write it down. Apart from that, encourage yourself to cover a problem outside your area of focus with a fresh perspective. Think of where else your solutions may apply. Do this often.
Ricardo Baeza -Yates: Do not plan your life. Just do your best and unthinkable opportunities will cross your life path.
Yoelle Maarek: Think simple, think user. Don't think like an engineer or scientist – think about your mom, your kids, would they understand the value of your invention, would they want to use it.
Revving up the innovation enginePosted: 7th of June, 2013
By David Filo, Co-founder of Yahoo!
This past weekend, we celebrated Yahoo!'s 18th birthday. A birthday is a good time to reflect on the experiences that have helped shape you. This one is no different.
That's why our
birthday was the perfect time to bring together Yahoos from around the world
for our quarterly Hackday. We created our first Hackday in 2005, bringing some
of our most eager minds together in an all-night coding session. I'm proud that
this tradition has continued.
Hackday Final Presentation at Sunnyvale
Hackdays are special for Yahoos -- as much a part of our history as our birthday itself. Hackers from all over the world come together for 24 hours to create something truly special. The experience is memorable, not only for the eccentricities, but also for the inspiring hacks that Yahoos create. Some hacks have become full-fledged products, like Yahoo! Weather for Android.
For our 18th birthday, we decided to turn our Hackday up a notch. We challenged hackers to focus on making our core products more inspiring, entertaining and innovative.
We were blown away by the number of Yahoos, diversity of hacks and creative energy. And, in fact, we broke a hack-to-product record by integrating the winning hack into our existing products within just a few days of its victory. This winning hack intelligently helps users find a web page when they have an incomplete URL for that page. Y! Canada News and Y! Sports blog are already live with this new feature.
Hackday Winners with David Filo and Yahoo Develop Network
We also broke another record -- it was our biggest Hackday in the history of Yahoo!. Yahoos participated from nine offices across six time zones, all the way from Sunnyvale to Singapore, and from Norway to India.
We're excited to turn our hacks into products, so stay tuned to see what's in the pipeline.
Happy 18th Birthday, Yahoo!. Here's to many more ..

Yahoo! Appoints Marissa Mayer Chief Executive OfficerPosted: 16th of August, 2012
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) today announced that it has appointed Marissa Mayer as President and Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors effective July 17, 2012. The appointment of Ms. Mayer, a leading consumer internet executive, signals a renewed focus on product innovation to drive user experience and advertising revenue for one of the world's largest consumer internet brands, whose leading properties include Yahoo Finance, Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo Mobile, Yahoo Mail, and Yahoo Search.

Mayer joined Google in 1999 as its 20th employee and led efforts for many of Google's most recognizable products, including the development of its flagship search product and iconic homepage for over 10 years. Mayer managed some of Google's most successful innovations, launching more than 100 features and products including image, book and product search, toolbar, iGoogle, Google News, and Gmail — creating much of the "look and feel" of the Google user experience.
Yahoo! Co-Founder David Filo said, "Marissa is a well-known, visionary leader in user experience and product design and one of Silicon Valley's most exciting strategists in technology development. I look forward to working with her to enhance Yahoo's product offerings for our over 700 million unique monthly visitors."

"Yahoo!'s products will continue to enhance our partnerships with advertisers, technology and media companies, while inspiring and delighting our users. There is a lot to do and I can't wait to get started," Mayer said.

Change your World EventPosted: 7th of June, 2013
Change your World Event!
Yahoo!'s Business & Human Rights Program has initiated the Change Your World series, regional events focused on how women are using social media, digital media, technology and the Internet to change their worlds. The inaugural event, Change Your World Cairo 2012, hosted by the BHRP along with Yahoo Maktoob and in partnership with Vital Voices, took place at the Fairmont Nile City, Egypt on January 18 2012. The summit brought together women in leadership from across the Middle East and North Africa to showcase and share lessons learned on how women are using technology, the Internet and social media platforms to create positive change in the world. Moderated by award-winning journalist and human rights activist Mona Eltahawy, the summit focused on four primary areas: women's leadership in governance and politics, women's rights/human rights and social justice, journalism, and entrepreneurship. Participants included:
- Maria Al Masani, social media pioneer and founder of Yemen Rights Monitor;
- Fida Ouri, deputy director of NISAA FM in the West Bank, one of the first all-women, non-political radio stations in the Arab world;
- Shereen Allam, Egyptian entrepreneur, co-owner of Eco-tek and founder, Association for Women's Total Advancement and Development;
- Lara Ayoub, Jordanian digital media pioneer and digital media director, Al Ghad and Al-Waseet
- Dalia Ziada, Egyptian women's rights activist and blogger who has been hailed by the international media as one of the most influential women in the world;
- Lamees Dhaif, Bahraini journalist and human rights activist
Summit sessions included "Technology and Economic Empowerment," "After the Revolution: E-lections and E-governance," "Journalism, Women and the Internet" and "Safety Online for Women and Activists." There was also a screening of excerpts from 'Women, War & Peace,' the documentary series that tells the stories of women in conflict zones around the globe. The event concluded with a session entitled "What's Next? Continuing the Conversation" – a facilitated workshop to elicit ideas for tools, platforms, technology and media to foster and promote entrepreneurship, political leadership, journalism and women's rights. View the agenda or a short summary video of the event here.
Change Your World events will be held this year in Brazil and India.

A Very Public Proposal This Leap Year
Renault partnered with Yahoo UK to find the best marriage proposal
Renault Twingo partnered with Yahoo UK to run a competition to find a woman that was willing to propose to her boyfriend on February 29, Leap Year, as part of the tradition for women to pop the question.
The winning idea was won by Jane who proposed to Tim while taking in a view of the architecture across London, with people appearing in T-shirts spelling out the question. The proposal was filmed and the footage was aired on the Yahoo UK home page on February 29. Renault also gave the couple a brand new Twingo as a gift!

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
i'm not familiar with the whole tech side of PATS, but if you had the dealership do the job, you should be able to bring it back and get it for free since they didn't do it correctly the first time.
Unless you just wanted a new key from them.
Anyone that has done an SVT SWAP, I NEED HELP!
So my auto tranny went bad in my 03 focus. I bought an 02 Svt focus wrecked and basically swapped the motor and tranny and just about everything else. Ive replaced all of the harnesses, ecu, pcm, fuel pump, etc.. One thing i did not think about was the svt key! the svt i bought didnt havea key. So i had to get my car towed to ford yesterday to get the key cut and programmed and it still isnt starting. it is turning over but not starting up. i can NOT hear the fuel pump kick on. I hooked up an obd2 scan tool and it said something like pats system not reading transponder or reciever or something like that. I called ford today and they said that i need to replace the ignition key transponder/reciever. can anyone shed some light on this for me? I had them order it for me but im curious as to if there is something special about the little black ring around the ignition switch and svt's?

That's Some Ham
HOPE YOUR EASTER WEEKEND WAS A WINNER. I had the opportunity to enjoy two Easter celebrations. I mentioned on the air this morning the "Dearborn Ham". If you talk to people in Michigan, they know all about this tasty treat. In the past it was only available in southeastern Michigan area (including Toledo). I figure a ham is a ham, but this was something different. It doesn't come pre-cooked (so you have to do it yourself), but it's worth the extra time and effort. Relatives from Michigan served it up on Saturday and I wouldn't leave. My family now lives in the area and they wondered if this taste treat was available around here. Imagine when they were told you can get it right here in Akron. I have no interest in this store and they are not a sponsor, but I'd love for you to give it a try. Get your Dearborn Ham at Difeo's Poultry on Grant street in Akron. It WILL make your tummy say hi!
IF YOUR A FAN OF MAGIC, MARK Saturday May 3rd for the annual Battle of The Magicians in Canton at the historic Palace Theatre. I attended a few years ago and had a ball. Get info at www.battleofmagicians.com.
YOUR DAYS TO WIN A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES for the I Heart Radio Music Awards are down to a precious few. Listen to my show tomorrow morning at 9:05 and 11:05 for the keyword to win. I'll explain it all in the morning so join me from 9am until noon for all the info. Enjoy the warmth because cooler weather arrives tonight. Later! JIM

Do you care about your sport? If so, get involved. Right now, GLFWDA goes to meetings and says "listen to us. We have 300 people and we want places to play". If everyone on this site would stop bickering and join together, we could go to the state and say "we have THOUSANDS of people and we represent THOUSANDS of recreation dollars". Then we could have some impact.
Everyday another "right" is taken away from us. You cant win with just one aproach, it isn't possible as long as we have someone with a pen running this state who can write an executive order any (^&(*&(*) time she want too.
You better get some members into the legislative seats, if you want your rules changed.
I can take action sitting on the local planning commission (which I do) and not be a member. But this is the first time, anyone has even remotely contacted me about the legal issues of wheeling in order to do something about it.
The word is not getting to the right people...............somehow we have to fix this. Do you suppose someone could drive a Jeep up Levin's rear-end far enough to get his attention, instead of him spending all of his time going after the war? I personally think you need to start making changes in who you are talking to.
People on this board are good people and don't purposely try to destroy nature. But if we cant use it.............why would it matter? It's time to start doing more then blowing smoke!!!!

Just chanced on this on Facebook - of interest to VG+ers?
Secret 7 request the pleasure of your company at our exhibition and sale.
The project set out to rekindle some of the excitement for vinyl sleeve art in the digital era by exploring how a track would be interpreted by an array of brilliant artists. And raise a load of cash for Teenage Cancer Trust in the process.
Last year The Cure, Florence & The Machine, Bombay Bicycle Club, DJ Shadow, CSS, Noah & The Whale and Ben Howard selected a track and invited designers from around the world a chance to produce their sleeve via Talenthouse. Thousands were submitted and whittled down by each artist to their favourites.
These have been joined by designs from our line-up of musicians and a crack team of creatives.
To name just a few: David Shrigley, Michael Spencer Jones (Oasis, Verve), Central Station (Happy Mondays, Black Grape), Inkie, Toby Mott (De La Soul), Mr Bingo, Stylorouge (Blur, The Cure, Morrissey), Richard Evans (The Who), Pete Fowler (The Horrors) and Grammy winner Peter Corriston (The Rolling Stones, Billy Idol, Carole King, Debbie Harry, Led Zeppelin, New York Dolls and Tom Waits).
From Wednesday through to Friday the collection of hundreds of individually artworked sleeves will be displayed for viewing.
Come Saturday Record Store Day through to close on Sunday the exhibition is yours to own. Each of the one-of-a-kind heavyweight 7 records will be available to take home with you for a minimum donation to Teenage Cancer Trust of £40.
The exhibition has an air of mystery in that no-one will know who designed each sleeve, or which of our seven tracks is housed inside until after they have been purchased.
We are only able to take cash donations - so be sure to bring plenty along with you.
Every penny profited is going to Teenage Cancer Trust.

/// Former Yahoo Security Head Somaini Lands at Cloud Startup Box
Justin Somaini, the former chief information security officer at Yahoo, who left that company in January , has landed a new job at high-flying cloud-computing startup Box. In an announcement set to be made later today, Somaini, whose title will be VP and chief trust officer, will be one of three high-profile new hires at Box that will also be announced later today. The other two are Niall Wall, who will be SVP and head of business development, and Jeff Mannie, who will be VP, controller and chief accounting officer. Wall will take over for Karen Appleton, who has been promoted to senior VP in charge of global alliances. What does the new title — chief trust officer — mean? "Two things," Somaini told me in a brief conversation yesterday. "Really driving a trust strategy for the company around the products and services we provide and how that relates to internal functions of how we perform. Second, we have to make sure there's a tight integration with our customer to base to really understand their needs. And it's not only that we're able to respond to their pain points, but that we're able to predict them." He should have a pretty good appreciation for their pain points. Before creating the CISO job at Yahoo, he held the same title at security software giant Symantec. Before that he was director of information security at Verisign. He's also been an advisor to Palo Alto Networks.
