Nook and audio playback, could be the thing that sways me...
Howdy, new user, first post.
I'm pretty interested in getting a Nook, obviously, but I do have some questions. I did a search and didn't find anything relevant to go on and the posts were considerably old (almost back to the release of the Nook last year) so I wanted to broach the topic and bring into the limelight, so to speak.
I do enjoy listening to music while I'm out and about, and considering that I'm interested in a Nook, it would be nice if I wouldn't be required to bring along my typical mp3 device (which shall remain nameless for the moment)
if the Nook can work in that capacity
Now, I haven't tested or tried a Nook myself, I keep planning to get to a B&N here in Las Vegas where I live and do a hands on for a bit, but even if I do that I can't be sure if they'll have any audio/music on the demo devices and I will say it could be a deal breaker for me in the long run.
My Wife is deaf so the audio capabilities for her are meaningless, but she's been wanting an eBook reader for a very long time now (she is a voracious reader) and I figured now's as good a time as any to get more serious about a purchase.
I did take note of the 3rd gen Amazon Kindle coming near the end of August, and while the $10 difference in price isn't that big of a deal to me, the fact that Amazon will be allowing - per the info they've presented for the new Kindle - web browsing over the 3G wireless without cost to Kindle owners (apparently only on that model of Kindle, somehow), that definitely caught my eye.
But my ears are part of this as well so, I can't say that I've ever heard a Kindle or used one either, to be honest. I have used a JetBook in the past and thought it was pretty awesome for what it is/was but, they're tough to find anymore - they used to carry them at Fry's here in Vegas but have long since stopped stocking them in favor of Sony eReaders which I have
interest in, even if someone gave me one. I'd just sell it and get something better.
So, if anyone out there can comment on audio playback with the Nook I would greatly appreciate the info or reviews. I'm interested in music playback, primarily, since audiobooks on an eBook reader are a bit ridiculous in my opinion and easily done. But music is important, and I sure hope someone can comment on whether or not the Nook can do it adequately. I have some Koss KSC-75 earclips as well as earbuds (aka IEMs, in-ear-monitors) and both offer great quality for their respective costs, I just want to make sure I don't end up having mono sound or AM-radio quality.
I can always just go buy a Nook and if I'm not happy return it but, I figured before I take that step I'll ask for advice from those of you that already own one and use it for such purposes (listening to music, etc). Any info is greatly appreciated and will help me make my decision that much easier.
Thanks for reading (no pun intended) and have fun, always...

Email Marketing Tip: Clear Call to Action
After you get your readers to engage by opening the email with a non-misleading subject line, your next step is to include a clear call-to-action in your email.
Make sure it stands out and will catch the recipient's eye. Include a link to a landing page, contact form, phone number, or another way for them to follow through with the action.
Two great examples come from Amazon and Google's local deal/offers daily emails.
With Amazon's email you get a clear headline of what the deal is with a huge orange button to call your attention to view more and buy.
With the Google Offers email, you get a more detailed description and the call to action could be a better, bolder color but it's there with a view deal and buy button in blue.
Remember when putting together your company's newsletter, you want to be sure to direct your readers to what you want them to do. Decide what action you want them to take and point them in the direction as boldly and clearly as you can (e.g., Download our free whitepaper now, Click here for 50% off, etc.). Contrasting colors, bold links, and other design techniques will help you call attention in the right places.
Bonus tip: Make sure your call to action landing page URL has a referrer tag attached so you can track the results in Google Analytics (or whatever analytics package you may be using). For instance, to track the results of this post being shared on Twitter, I'd take the URL and change it to:

With a white lab coat over his school-mandated burgundy shirt and shorts, 11-year-old Henry Worrell admonished his classmates to watch a video presentation closely.
"Please pay attention to the video because the answers will come from that," he said.
Sternly, he said again, "Pay attention."
This was Henry's turn to be the teacher. Each student in his fifth-grade class at Bernard Terrace Elementary had taught a lesson as one of their final assignments, but Henry had budded with excitement for weeks.
Henry wanted to teach about the periodic table of elements, to share one of his great fascinations with the rest of the students, and to introduce the class to one of his favorite authors via the magic of technology.
So he started by playing some entertaining videos and cartoons about the elements, then passed around some of his collection of the elements, some of which were encased in see-through blocks, including a razor-thin strip of 14-karat gold.
"How much is it worth?" Henry said, repeating a question from his classmates. "Probably a few cents."
"Next we have germanium, named after a country," he said, passing around another cube encasing a silver-gray clump. "I bet you can guess which one."
There was a tube of foil, to represent aluminum, a bottle of Pepto Bismol, for bismuth, and a red-orange bowl colored with a glaze containing uranium-oxide.
"He is very passionate about the periodic table," said his mother, Kendyl Worrell, who snapped photographs from the back of the class.
While his mother and his teacher, Melanie Swindler, collected the samples, Henry introduced his guest, who would appear by Internet connection on the Skype video chat service.
"Theodore Gray is the person who inspired me to do this lesson plan," he said.
Gray, a columnist for Popular Science, a software designer, author and "populariser of science," as his online biography phrased it, captured Henry's imagination years before when Henry became interested in the elements. Gray maintains websites about the periodic table, including a site about his table of the periodic table — a wooden representation of the table with legs and cubbies containing samples of the elements, some of them especially hard to come by.
At 2:30 p.m., Gray's face and graying beard appeared on the interactive screen at the front of the room, his office wall bookshelf behind him.
"I can hear you. Can you guys hear me?" he said from his home in Illinois.
Henry acted as the mediator, taking questions from the class. He told them about buying samples of hard-to-find elements on eBay, then getting a call from the Federal Bureau of Investigations when he bought an old missile part online.
"What is your favorite element?" asked Ben Saari.
"People like to ask me that," Gray answered. "I don't have one. I don't have a favorite child, either."
But he does love titanium because it is a strong, light metal, and sodium, because it explodes in bodies of water. He posts videos of such fun experiments regularly.
He brought out samples of his own elements, including a golden-colored bar labeled "2 Kilos." The class started whispering and gasping.
"This turns out to be completely fake," he said.
New education standards encourage teachers to use technology with their students, many of whom have been using computers, smartphones and touch screen tablets their entire lives.
"This is something that fifth-graders should be doing on a regular basis," said Lynn Carmouche, the acting principal of Bernard Terrace Elementary. "These children are so adept at using technology, so they should be using this on a regular basis to make learning more engaging."
Henry agreed. His mother said that he wanted to make science fun for his classmates since he saw a presentation from a performer named Doktor Kaboom! in December.
"I think by making science fun, kids will like it," he said. "Right now, it's just dull."
A few years ago, Henry's father told him a story about a Chinese emperor who died after ingesting mercury — he thought it would make him live forever. Henry became incredibly interested in the elements after that. When he was 7, he asked Santa Claus for a Theodore Gray book, and he became even more interested in the elements.
His lesson plan involving Gray took a great deal of planning, but Henry can be very determined, Swindler said.
In the past, Swindler used Skype to contact classes in other states for chats, but had never tried to speak with authors or scientists.
"That's definitely something I'm going to integrate," she said.
During the chat with Gray, Julia Connor wondered how long he had been doing science.
"Since I was a child," he said. "Most kids are doing science all the time, because that's how they find out about the world."
"Doing science" included making gunpowder as a kid and throwing sodium in a lake.
They asked questions until the Internet connection died, then reconnected.
When it disconnected again a few minutes later, the class was disappointed. They had planned to thank Gray for his time.
"Should I stop?" Henry asked Swindler.
"It's your lesson," she replied from the rear of the room.
Henry stood with his hands in his lab coat's pockets, then asked, "Did you enjoy this lesson?"
"Yeah," a few in the class said, then followed with applause.

Today's Lady News: France Considers Making "Psychological Violence" A Crime
- On Thursday night, France's government approved a proposal to add "psychological violence" to a law that intends to help domestic abuse victims. The proposal does not allow a husband or wife to "act or repeatedly say things that could damage the victim's life conditions, affect his/her rights and his/her dignity or damage his/her physical or mental health." Punishment for breaking the "psychological violence" law could be three years in prison or a fine of around $100,000. Some are skeptical that the law will be applicable, but the sponsors say it will help victims by taking into account non-physical acts of intimidation, like aggressive text messages or emails. [New York Times]
- Nineteen-year-old Hani Khan, who is of Indian and Pakistani descent, said she lost her job at the mall clothing store Hollister because her Muslim headscarf violated the "look policy." Khan's manager had told her, in accordance with the "look policy," she had to wear a scarf that was white, gray or navy blue. Khan consented and worked in the stockroom without any problems for six months. Then the store manager popped in for a visit and six days later when Khan came to work, she was put on the phone with Abercrombie & Fitch's human resources. (A&F owns Hollister.) The HR person told Khan her headscarf violated the "look policy" and when Khan refused to remove it, she was taken off the work schedule. A&F declined to comment. [AOL News]
- New York Governor David Paterson may not have had the sex scandal we all were anticipating, but the actual scandal — a potential domestic violence cover-up for one of his top aides — that has come to light is just as sordid. Paterson's senior aide, David Johnson, has been accused of a Halloween night incident of choking his girlfriend, banging her head against a dresser, and taking two phones to prevent her from calling for help. The victim went to court last fall to try to get a protective order against him. The woman has since claimed a member of the state police, who have no jurisdiction over the matter, had been pressuring her to drop her case. The state police have since confirmed that a senior member of Paterson's secret service was in touch with the woman. The woman also apparently received a phone call from Gov. Paterson himself prior to skipping a Feb. 8 hearing. Her case against Johnson, who began working as Paterson's driver and had a history of altercations with women, has since been dismissed. [New York Times]
- Idaho's State Senate approved a "conscience" bill, which will allow pharmacists and other trained health employees to refuse to administer services, such as providing the morning-after pill. Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, who opposed the bill, said it would also allow pharmacists to intentionally not inform patients of all options. Others opposed the bill because it would allow pharmacists to refuse to offer the morning-after pill in cases of rape. [Idaho Reporter]
- White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers announced today she is stepping down. "As we turn the corner on the first year," Rogers said, "this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world." I think that is code for "all that s**t with the party-crashing Salahis has finally hit the fan." [The Root]
- A family court judge granted a divorce to Jenny Sanford and her soon-to-be-ex-husband, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. Now the guv is free to hike on the Appalachian Trail or visit his mistress in Argentina all he wants. [ABC News]
- A special ed teacher was fatally shot this morning when walking to work at a school in Tacoma, Washington, by a man she had obtained an anti-harassment order against. Police said the shooter had a "major infatuation" with the victim. [Seattle Times]
- Oklahoma's House of Representatives passed a bill today that would prevent women from selling their eggs, although they would still be allowed to donate them. Supporters for the bill say the financial incentives to sell eggs take advantage of low-income women and college students. [KOAMTV]
- Two employees of the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, have been suspended after circulating photographs of women that could be deemed offensive, but not explicit, on their work computers. [WBIR]
- Experts in the case of a South Dakota woman who murdered her ex-boyfriend, who she said shoved her, disagree about whether she suffered "battered woman syndrome," meaning she killed him because she sincerely believed her life was at risk. [Argus Leader]
- South African officials are investigating a girls' dormitory at an unnamed boarding school, which was allegedly closed because girls were engaging in "lesbianism" by kissing each other. Interestingly, South Africa is the only African nation protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination. [BBC]
- The High Court of Swaziland in Africa decided this week to allow some married women — notice that's some women who are married — to own property in their own name. It was not until five years ago that Swaziland's constitution gave women equal status to men; previously, their status was classified as minors. [Nation.co.ke]
- The BBC profiled a 21-year-old woman in the Israeli Defense Forces who talks about how she named her gun "Jack Black." [BBC"]

I have nearly perfect 4400 which is in much better condition than the above stock pic. Currently, it is in line for refurbishment. I need to get a new needle plate for it then it will be available for sale. These are one of the most "Retro" looking machines around. They were made by the good folks at Toyota's Nagoya plant to a very high standard. They are cast iron and very, very strong sewers. There are multiple built in stitches both utility and decorative.

The British number two pulled out of last month's Australian Open but was aiming to make his first appearance since October in the south of France.
Instead, the 32-year-old has set his sights on returning at the Rotterdam Open which starts on 19 February.
Henman said: "My priority now is to be fully fit before I compete again."
Henman insists, however, that his decision is precautionary and he is generally satisfied with his recovery.
He told his official website: "The good news is that my knee is now a lot better than it was before.
"I feel confident if there are no major setbacks then I'll be ready for Rotterdam.
"Unfortunately, I've been forced to delay my return to competition despite a vast improvement.
"I was hoping to play in the Open 13 in Marseille but I've decided to pull out.
"I've been practising this week and it's a case of so far so good, but I just didn't want to rush back on to the court before I've had the chance to really push it in practice.
"It's healing really well and I haven't felt any twinges so far, but I haven't been able to train on it as much as I would have wanted."

Johannesburg - As the State closed its case on Tuesday, there was a general sensation of going out to some light drizzle.
A re-examination of Colonel Johannes Vermeulen was not the courtroom fire we might have hoped for. Had the State's journey been ground down to an exhausted halt by Barry Roux?
Forensic expert Dr David Klatzow suggested that we imagine the State's case was a bus and prosecutor Gerrie Nel the driver. Yes, Roux has been on the sidelines firing shots as it inched along. There may be holes in the bus, but that does not mean it's ready for the scrapyard. "The question is: Is the bus still rolling?" said Klatzow.
In his view, and in the view of a number of lawyers, the bus has its wheels intact, and the State is raring to cross-examine the defence's witnesses and Oscar Pistorius himself.
"There is a case to answer," said Professor James Grant, of the Wits University School of Law.
But what about all those faults and doubts in the State's case that Roux raised? The towel moved from the cellphone; the footprint on the door; Anette Stipp thinking the toilet light was on when it was broken; and was Reeva leaning forward or standing up inside the toilet?
Kelly Phelps, senior lecturer at the Department of Public Law, University of Cape Town, said the State had the burden of proof in any criminal case.
The State had to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
She said facts were presented to the court by both sides, and the judge would draw her conclusion from those facts. To get a conviction, the State's version needed to be the only reasonable inference that could be drawn from the evidence presented.
Phelps said she felt the State had been doing quite poorly. "None of their evidence has conclusively disputed the defence's version of events," she said.
But the whole is more than its parts. Faults with individual testimony should not be viewed as the downfall of the State's case. Grant told of how his own lecturer, Professor Andrew Paizes, had explained it to him when he (Grant) was a student.
The evidence Nel presented should not be viewed as a chain, which could be broken by its weakest link. The bits of evidence were like fibres that wound around each other to form a rope. "The strength of the rope is not made up by the strength of the individual strands alone," he said.
"Not every piece of evidence… needs to pass the ultimate standard. What our courts… do is consider the cumulative effect of all the evidence and ultimately whether there is a reasonable doubt given (which has) a cumulative effect."
Phelps said she felt the cellphone records had been the most important piece of evidence in the State's case as they spoke about motive.
But Grant said he felt the cellphone records should have been deemed inadmissible as they were both hearsay and character evidence. He said both forms of evidence were admitted only under exceptional circumstances, and he was surprised the defence had not objected.
He felt the testimony of the neighbours, particularly that of Anette Stipp, was highly damning.
But it seems agreed that Pistorius will testify. It's crucial to his defence as so much of it rests on his version of what happened on Valentine's Day last year.

IT MAY be the only garage sale where you can buy rare white-label Beatles records, a fairy floss maker and an apartment.
Tomorrow, more than 6000 households across the country will be opening their garages and inviting strangers in to flick through their records, try on their dated clothes and eat snacks.
The Garage Sale Trail was started by Darryl Nichols and Andrew Valder in 2010 as a small community festival aimed at raising awareness about illegal dumping in Bondi. In its first year 126 households participated. That number grew to 1613 last year as numerous councils started promoting the cause.
This year it's clear old fashioned yard sales have been picked up by modern social media. Facilitated through the Garage Sale Trail website, and shared through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, goods worth more than $2.2 million are expected to change hands on the day.
Mr Nichols said "it's a pretty exhaustive and expansive inventory of stuff ranging from antique Remington typewriters, a couple of cars and someone has a definitive collection of New Yorker magazines from the '40s and '50s.''
The pick of the mix last year was a 1963 Jaguar which one woman sold for $3500.
This year, all eyes are on the three-bedroom apartment listed for sale in Bondi. The owner, Ben Peacock, thought it would be an ideal chance to find a buyer.
''It seems to me that in this area apartments go for around $800,000 but hey it's a garage sale so let's haggle,'' he said.

Why India must take climate change seriously
by Anish Mishra
Given India's vulnerability to climate change, it should take a leading role in the fight against climate change.
Given India's vulnerability to climate change, it should take a leading role in the fight against climate change.
Once at the forefront of the global warming battle, Japan is being pressured to set fresh emissions targets as it burns dirty coal energy to replace nuclear.
Deploying carbon caputure and storage technology will be essential if the rise in average global temperatures is to be limited to no more than 2 degrees Celsius by the middle of the century. Yet CCS remains frustratingly expensive.
The government released an annual energy report Tuesday that called for a return to nuclear power generation, saying increasing fuel costs for thermal power and a surge in CO2 emissions are reasons why Japan should power up its idled reactors. The report reflects the pro-nuclear ...
Nine of the nation's 10 utilities failed to meet their self-imposed five-year targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 20 percent, an industry body said Monday. Their failure was caused mainly by the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which forced them to revert to ...

Amazon drops the price of the Motorola DROID BIONIC to $150 with a $50 gift card included
Amazon has the highly prized smartphone priced at $149.99 for new customers, which is a $50 drop in savings from what we saw initially, but interestingly enough, the savings doesn't stop there. In fact, the online retailer is giving out $50 Amazon gift cards to those new customers picking up the handset until September 26th. Sadly though, the offer is not available for upgrade customers – who are actually required to fork over $249.99 to pick up the handset.
Nonetheless, if you're interested in picking up the Motorola DROID BIONIC with a new 2-year service agreement, you might want to consider Amazon's promotion right now. Plus, they include free 2-day shipping, $15 Digital Bonus in apps, MP3s, and eBooks.
Thanks to our anonymous tipster!

DROID BIONIC. The overrated phone.
3. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
How is it overrated? And how is it that much worse than any other high end phone?? Please Explain? Oh wait you probably cant!!
4. dacastrator (Posts: 232; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
You're stupid and ignorant if you don't know why its overrated.
6. choupino (Posts: 69; Member since: 28 May 2011)
Dude... You call a device "Overrated" but do nothing to support your theory. I believe Allday28, when he says "Oh wait you probably cant!!"... Loser.
9. dacastrator (Posts: 232; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
Dude both of you are morons. Stop whining because the answer to your questions are already in front of you. This one is overrated because of the price tag. They are thinking that this phone will be the best one when they released it and since they marketed the phone really well, they put out a huge price tag with it thinking that it will sell but it didnt happen. No one is buying the phone. People will rather get the SGSII or wait for either the next iPhone or an ICS device. This one is a failure just like the both of you.
10. sueapple (unregistered)
it sure is overrated. where did they get the balls to give it a price tag of 350 bucks? yea its a high end and one hell of a phone but id rather get the galaxy s 2 with a better spec sheet and cheaper price tag... cheers!
15. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
Tells you what you know goof!! Its not $350...
16. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
Yeah and have fun with your wannabe 4G!!
12. dudeman (unregistered)
Your grasp of the English language is impeccable. You radiate confidence when you speak. Overrated? No. Overpriced? Yes.
14. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
So you are saying its overrated cause of the price tag huh? You realise thats how much LTE devices are when there first launched so again you are wrong!! So please to a better job at explaning it for me you waste of space!!!! Hell you can get the phone for $15o through other retailers so actually your argument isnt even relivant!!!! So put that in your pipe and smoke it LOSER!!!
17. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
PLease tell??
20. RodThaBod (Posts: 4; Member since: 24 Oct 2010)
Overrated? How is that? I bought it for 299 and got 50 bucks off and traded in my Imagio and got another 100 bucks off. Makes the grand total 149. Phone is the best I have ever seen. My buddy has the charge and says he now wants the Bionic. I think it is a great phone. I have not a single complaint about the Bionic. It even gets very good battery longevity on it as well considering it is a smart phone.
22. DoctorD0S (Posts: 15; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
It is a fantastic phone. I had a Charge but got this instead. The PenTile display is its only weakness. But the build quality, battery life, camera, button layout, and voice quality are all better than the Samsung in my opinion.

Lol didn't even make it 30 days before price was slashed in half.
5. dacastrator (Posts: 232; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
They put it on sale because no one is buying it. Basically because it's out dated. And has a lot more better options.
7. Hallucinator (Posts: 387; Member since: 24 May 2010)
A lot more better? Please refrain from calling people stupid.

This price is only for new customers so they can get locked into a tiered data plan.
11. j405 (unregistered)
Well, now it's underrated since it's cheaper! People should buy this phone if they want a great phone for a great price and great 4G service. =)

Samsung Prime........

The problem with this phone, as I see it, is that in order for the phone to be truly worth $299.00, you must buy the accessories to get its total worth. And your total investment than comes to around $1000.00. If you are not willing to spend that kind of money to exploit the phones full capacity, than you are paying too much for a phone that is probably only worth $150.00 for all the use you are going to actually get for it. What I'm saying, then, is that it is all about the accessories with this phone at the current price point of $299.00. And if I'm going to spend $1000.00 than I'm going to get an iPhone and an iPad instead. So I say that if you can't get this phone for $150.00 than don't get it unless you have money to burn. And by the way, what is this "tentative November date" for a bug fix of the numerous bugs? tentative? They want you to wait until maybe November? Are you kidding me? All this Android phone manufactures can go pound sand if they can't ever get it right the first time and have these phones working out of the box. It's a joke.

The owner of FM 104.7 and MiX 106.3 will be hoping for a steady start to the new radio year as a fresh, young team takes on the critical breakfast slot on 104.7 from Monday following the departure of local-time announcers Scotty and Nige.
In what was a tumultuous 2015 for Canberra FM, popular 104.7 breakfast announcer Scott Masters was dumped, a replacement breakfast show lasted only five weeks and Masters' on-air partner Nigel Johnson announced he was shifting to Mix 106.3. Johnson is due to start on the Mix 106.3 drive program on February 8.
The Canberra Times also understands Masters, who claimed he was sacked not made redundant, received an out-of-court settlement from Canberra FM just before Christmas but is unable to discuss it as he is subject to a confidentiality agreement.
The new 104.7 breakfast team of Tanya Hennessy and Ryan Jon starts on Monday, promising to deliver news that Canberrans want as well as more than a few "LOLs".
Canberra's No.1 radio station, 666 ABC Canberra, has, meanwhile, announced its local lineup will be unchanged as its hosts return on-air from Monday, including Philip Clark back in the chair for breakfast. While the local 666 line-up remains the same, there is a new host for the Evenings program with singer Christine Anu presenting with Dom Knight until April, before taking the reins full time.
The new breakfast presenter on 2CC, Tim Shaw, got the ball rolling early, taking up the post on Monday, replacing Mark Parton.
In the meantime, Hennessy and Jon say they are excited to take on the challenge of 104.7 breakfast, each working in regional commercial radio beforehand but also bringing other life experiences to the job.
Ryan, 28, played volleyball professionally and was attached to the Australian Institute of Sport until three shoulder reconstructions forced him out of the game. He also has an honours degree in economics and worked for one of the big four banks.
"I was sort of like the class clown of the bank," he said. "Until one day my boss said one day, 'If you want to tell stories all day, you should go and work on radio'." So he did, doing breakfast radio for three years with Southern Cross Austereo in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
Canberra is the highlight of his career so far.
"This is my dream job," he said.
Ryan said he wanted to deliver the news Canberrans wanted to hear.
"I suppose I want to ask, 'What does Canberra actually give a shit about?'," he said. "There are things that look a bit newsy but are they the things people actually care about?"
Ryan said his girlfriend Brigitte – a winemaker and serious foodie – was initially reluctant to move to Canberra. But the vast array of wineries and restaurants in the national capital and surrounding area had changed all that.
"She's like a kid in a candy store," he said.
Tanya, 30, is originally from Newcastle where she went to a performing arts high school. She studied acting and was a clown at Luna Park – and played a hooker in Underbelly Razor.
"I've got 'prostitute' on my CV nine times and that's about it'," she said, with a laugh. She also worked in stand-up comedy.
The pair have known each other for a few years after working in radio in regional NSW. Tanya has worked in Newcastle, Toowoomba and Griffith and also did a regular stint on The Scoopla Show.
Her aim for the program at 104.7 is simple.
"I guess we want to make some people laugh in the morning. A few LOLs," Tanya said.
And both are impressed by Canberra. Ryan knows the place from his AIS days and has a few Moosehead's stories to tell. Tanya had only visited Floriade – and loved it – but is blown away by the evolution of the city, declaring Braddon "the coolest suburb ever".
"Canberra is so cool. Everything is so new and current," she said.
"Most of my friends are in Sydney or Newcastle and I'm so stoked to bring them to Canberra. They have this idea of what Canberra is but I'm trying to tell them, 'No it's so different! It's not like your year five excursion!'
"You've got to come and see it and feel it. It's a different city, it's a thriving city. I'm so stoked to be here."

The Kobo Glo can be set-up using WiFi or via the USB cable and the Kobo desktop app. You need to register it, then it downloads the latest firmware and installs that. After that, you can turn the WiFi off and never connect again unless you want to update the firmware.
Most of my books are sideloaded. For at least the first six months, this was the only way I put books on the device except a couple of free books from Kobo to see how that worked. But, I have been buying books from the Kobo shop recently. It is convenient and with the promo codes that are around, it is usually cheaper than other shops. They supply both their own kepub format that can download over WiFi, or Adobe ePub that you can handle yourself.
There is some info in the Kobo forum about sidestepping the registration process, but I haven't tried it.

At least 14 killed in West plant explosion
Dozens remain missing
Updated 2:01 am, Saturday, April 20, 2013
WEST — Touring the devastation wreaked by an explosion at a fertilizer facility earlier in the week, the group of men and women spoke in hushed voices as they surveyed the damage Friday afternoon.
The cluster of once-tall, white structures that made up the West Fertilizer Co. facility were crushed by the blast, which so far has claimed 15 lives, most of them firefighters and paramedics who rushed to help.
Nearby, the two-story apartment complex that once housed low-income residents was a mangled mess of lumber, building materials and tenants' personal belongings. Pieces of wood, tires and other trash littered a field next door.
Across the street from the apartments, inside the red brick West Rest Haven nursing home, overturned tables, couches and chairs filled the front rooms.
The tour was for the benefit of Petr Gandalovic, an ambassador from the Czech Republic, who wanted to see the damage caused to this small farming community with a strong Czech heritage.

Report: Nokia Lumia 928 to launch on Verizon with $25 Windows Phone Store credit
repurchase premium apps that they are abandoning when they leave their current phone. Microsoft is doing everything possible to make switching to Windows Phone smooth and easy. For example, their Switch to Windows Phone app for Android takes the current list of downloaded apps on an Android handset and looks for the Windows Phone version of each one. If an exact match cannot be found, the closest match will be suggested. That list is then sent to the cloud from where it can be retrieved from the newly purchased Windows Phone model.
The Nokia Lumia 928 is expected to offer similar specs as the Nokia Lumia 920, but with a slightly thinner footprint and a Xenon flash.

Brilliant idea. Should be available with the purchase of every new windows phone.
2. siluro (Posts: 46; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
I don't think $25 of credit is going to get many people on board. Hopefully the phone itself comes out extraordinarily well in performance and looks.
3. Reverence (Posts: 224; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
lolz....install blackmart on android or jailbreak on iOS and get all paid apps for free..which is better, $25 apps or infinite apps?
4. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
The attitude of yours is the actual problem. Jailbreak. Jailbreak. Jailbreak. That's all i hear from android users. Are you so stingy to the extent of being unwilling to pay a few bucks for apps and games? App and software developers have a family to feed and they need to earn money. If you jailbreak a phone to root it or use custom roms it;s a different story; if you jailbreak it to for such purposes you are simply being unethical, selfish and inconsiderate.

I'm with you on this. It amazes me how complacent people are with something that completely equates to theft. It's disgusting behavior & it's flat out wrong. I think the same of piracy when it comes to music & movies, too. It destroys the industry & inflates prices for everyone else. I don't buy many apps or make many in-game purchases, but I would never steal them either.
6. best_ (Posts: 50; Member since: 08 Apr 2013)
i will do a Jailbreak to your a S S :D
8. harsh_doshi (Posts: 36; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
I hate this attitude.. everyone around me has android or apple devices and 90% of those are jailbreaked.. for what? for getting free apps. the people i know are not going for android becasue its open-source (heck they don't even know what that means) or more customisble they do that because they can get apps for free. I am myself a developer (though nothing in the store yet but coming soon) and have decided to go for windows phone for this reason itself. people cant jailbreak or get apps from anywhere else but the store. If you like the app you gotta buy it..it is a great thing for us developers who hardly make any money now-a-days. In the coming months i see more developers getting on wp for this reason and android and ios getting apps for free with in app purchases (just time untill even that gets bypassed) and wp devs generating more revenue than other os devs

Have you ever downloaded a song that you didn't pay for?
10. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
I practice this "make up for it" attitude since i love collecting stuff. For example i might have watched the Ironman movies in the cinemas, but i would download a free bluray copy and keep it instead of buying a copy - yup, that's still piracy. But, there is a limit on how much a person can spend, unless you are filthy rich.
And then i make up for it by buying authentic merchandises - those authentic scale models by HotToys which are licensed, a single model can cost up to $400, and limited editions - a lot higher. I have no qualms spending thousands of bucks on this hobby of collecting merchandise. The manufacturers of these products need to pay licensing fees so it is equivalent to supporting the related product.
However, this kind of thing doesnt apply to app purchases. If i can afford big bucks on my hobbies there is no reason for me not to pay 2 or 3 bucks for an app. If CDs and BluRay discs are expensive to you that is understandable, but there are no excuses for not paying for an app when it's priced low. For me i simply prefer to spend on merchandise than on Discs, i cant buy both.
11. harsh_doshi (Posts: 36; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
umm i used to do that but once i realised that all of those i pirated i stopped doing that!. inow use nokia music to get those songs..those are legal and free( for lumia owners). ill switch to nokia music+ once its available in my country.
13. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Excactly how I see things by myself.
Although the best games I like, are those with online stuff. These games cannot be used by warez version.
7. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1236; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
that's one way of encouraging people not just to buy the phone but increase the app ecosystem

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2013 (1409 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
AND NOW A SERVING OF BITES FOR BREAKFAST... The owner of a local diner, which shall go nameless at his request, was proudly telling me a couple of the Jets were in his place Monday morning.
And that last week some big burly Bombers were there, too.
Nothing all that unusual about that.
But then the diner owner offered the rest of the story.
Turns out when the Jets were there, one of the other patrons, a fan obviously, bought their meals.
Apparently that happens all the time.
But, the owner told me, no one ever buys for the Bombers.
I don't know about you, but that made me laugh.
I wondered if it was because no one recognized the Bombers.
The diner owner shook his head, no.
Maybe, then, it's more a comment on the fans' anger toward the Bomber organization, and this miserable season, than it is about the players individually.
After all, the Bomber organization has a lot on its plate.
Almost as much as what one big Bomber piled on his plate last week at breakfast.
That Bomber's bill came to $42.
The ritual of fans buying professional athletes drinks in bars or meals in restaurants is something that goes on all over the world, and I suppose it's a nice gesture that make both the fans and the players feel good.
But, as one of the diner employees pointed out, the Jets players make way more than the Bombers.
The National Hockey League's average salary is $2.45 million, even if half the players in the league make considerably less than that.
The average Canadian Football League basic salary is $83,000.
In any event, we know none of the Jets or Bombers is lining up for breakfast at the Salvation Army or lunch at Siloam Mission.
If you really feel the need to pay for someone's meal, a homeless person would be a better choice than a professional athlete.
But, Jets worshippers, where is the rush of the brush with greatness in buying a meal for someone who has nothing?
-- -- --
SMARTPHONE, STUPID OWNER... I did something stupid with my smartphone last month. We were on an Air Canada flight from Winnipeg to Toronto, and I left my BlackBerry behind in my seat. On the way home a few days later, I dropped by the lost-luggage kiosk at Pearson International Airport and a helpful Air Canada staff member led me into a room where the airline stores items left behind on flights. I sifted through two large cabinets full of gadgets, cameras, and assorted other stuff.
No luck.
But the process made me curious about how many items absent-minded passengers such as myself leave behind in their haste to depart a plane at their destination. So I contacted Air Canada's media man for this region, Peter Fitzpatrick.
He said it was hard to provide precise numbers because they vary from month to month. But in June, Air Canada found about 700 items a week and returned about 90 a week.
"But," he added in an email, "you have to keep in mind that for a lot of the things that we find the owners do not report them missing, mostly it seems because they are low-value (i.e. children's toys, scarves, hats, sunglasses)."
You might also keep in mind that worldwide Air Canada carries about 90,000 passengers a day.
So what happens to the items that aren't claimed or returned?
Turns out they're kept for five days at the airport where they're found, and then they're sent to a central facility in Montreal. And after 90 days, the items are given to charity or sold with the proceeds going to the Air Canada Foundation, a charitable organization the airline created to help ill and disadvantaged children.
So there you have it.
And no, my BlackBerry wasn't returned. I know there are iPhone and Android users who think there's no loss in that. But I happen to love my old BlackBerry. And my new one, too.
-- -- --
THE BOTTOM LINE... Kelly Larkins, of Brookside Memorials, has sent me the layout of the headstone he and his company have graciously donated for Wilson Hall, the homeless man who was buried without his family being notified. It features a soaring heavenly eagle, a bird that is spiritually significant in First Nations cultures.
Brookside Cemetery has a deadline for placing markers before winter. It's Friday. But before Kelly actually makes the marker, he needs the family's approval. And Faron the "Homeless Hero" Hall is the registered next of kin. Forget my lost BlackBerry. We need to find Faron.

The only reason these NFC teams are being touted as having great defenses was because the NFC has laughable offenses. The AFC has all the best offenses in the NFL so the D appears weak but in reality AFC teams are tougher in both.
Prove me wrong but you won't because come Superbowl Broncos will show this to be true when they spank the Seahawks in a lopside score. This will be a HUGE BLOWOUT.
The Denver D is running in full effect in the playoffs better than the Seahawks. I expect 10 sacks against Wilson. Wilson can't score. The only way Seattle scores is field goals and possibly a td from Lynch or a turnover from us which is unlikely.
Manning is going to carve up Seattle like you've never seen before. Expect a masterful performance.
Broncos: 49
Seahawks: 10

North Versailles Naval Reserve Center to close
Groundbreaking may occur next month for a new Naval Reserve center near Pittsburgh International Airport, to replace an existing center in North Versailles Township.
"Construction of a new support center will give the Navy a modern, up-to-date training facility in this region," said U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, whose district includes the existing center.
PJ Dick, a former West Mifflin company now based on Pittsburgh's North Shore, is in a joint venture with Construction Performance Management LLC of Mt. Lebanon.
In July the venture won a $10.558 million contract for a two-story building, to be part of an Armed Forces Reserve Center in Moon Township.
It also would include the Air Force Reserve's 911th Airlift Wing, a facility local officials have sought to save since it was placed on a federal government base closure list some years ago.
"Building the new Navy support center on the base at the airport will facilitate joint local military activities," Doyle said, "and help make a stronger case for preserving the 911th Airlift Wing and the 171st Air Refueling Wing and keeping them here in Southwestern Pennsylvania."
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Scranton, said the Navy has been planning for a long time to move the center, because the North Versailles location no longer fits its needs.
"The 911th base already has the workforce, assets and resources to house the (Naval Reserve) operations," Casey said in February.
When the Navy moves out of North Versailles, it will leave memories behind, including those of families that welcomed home troops sent overseas.
"They're a good group of kids," Gunnery Sgt. Norman A. Wesolowski said as 38 members of Military Police Company Bravo, a Marine unit based at the North Versailles center, returned in October 2011 from a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan.
"Their main job was convoy security," said Wesolowski, senior enlisted officer and aide to Bravo commander Capt. John M. Schneider. "They were hit by a couple IEDs (improvised explosive devices)."
Everyone came home alive and well, but four did so with Purple Hearts.
Another military policeman stationed for a time at the North Versailles base also had a role in a Sept. 11, 2001, rescue in New York.
Munhall native David Karnes said he was not a hero, even though he found the two Port Authority officers and rappelled into a 40-foot hole with Marine Sgt. Jason Thomas in a bid to rescue them.
"They charged into that building knowing it was an extreme risk to their own lives," Karnes told The Daily News.
"The smoke was so heavy," Karnes said, "that even with floodlights we couldn't see what we were doing."
The North Versailles base also has offered training beyond what reservists earned there, including something usually offered only on major bases, "Starbase Atlantis."
"It's hands-on learning, with no books," director Ken C. Mechling Jr. said at a February 2011 graduation for 25 fifth graders from McKeesport Area's Centennial Elementary School.
"It goes directly with our math and science curriculum," said Centennial teacher Beth Gumbert.
She was watching her third Starbase class graduate in a 2011 ceremony complete with the firing of rockets built by the youngsters during their five days at the reserve center.
The new center will be located in the district of U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, who said planners are trying to lock down a date to break ground.
"The current Naval Operational Support Center is built upon an old slag pile," said Murphy, himself a lieutenant commander in the Navy Reserve Medical Service Corps.
"The building is cracking in numerous places," Murphy continued. "It is structurally unsound. They need to move out of there."
According to a list of defense contracts posted at an official government website, the goal is to complete the project by February 2014.
The project includes spaces for administration, classroom, drill hall, exercise and fitness, medical examination, training aids, recruiting, and storage, and locker and shower rooms, janitorial and mechanical equipment.
The contract to the venture officially known as CPM-PJD MPA JV also contains an unexercised option that would increase the value of the project to $11.531 million.
The Mt. Lebanon and North Shore companies also joined forces in a $6.85 million contract to build repair hangar exteriors in the Moon area.
They jointly entered one of 10 bids for the new reserve center to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Midwest, at Great Lakes, Ill.
Funding would continue from the current federal fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 through 2012-13 and 2013-14.
In a letter to Vice Admiral Dirk J. Debbink, commander of the Naval Reserve, Casey pointed out that airport corridor "will continue to be home to numerous military assets that are not impacted" by the possible closing of the 911th, "including 171st Pennsylvania Air National Guard and the U.S. Army 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command."
All three lawmakers also pointed to the new naval center's proximity to a relocated commissary and post exchange. Groundbreaking occurred last month on the new commissary. The commissary and post exchange will replace the Charles E. Kelly Support Facility in Oakdale.
That facility, like the 911th, was endorsed for closing by the Defense Department's Base Closure and Realignment Commission.

Use these five steps to help you find the perfect pair of jeans:
With such a vast variety of waistlines to choose from, it's important to find the right style for you. Casual and comfy low-waistline jeans make for an everyday, easy-to-wear pair of trousers, whereas a high-waisted pair will elongate your legs and hide any of those irritating lumps and bumps, when you're aiming for that extra bit of glamour.
Whether you prefer loose and slouchy, or slim and fitted, make sure you pick the right size.
Squeezing yourself into a smaller size may seem like a good way to appear slimmer, but the correct size will leave you feeling much more comfortable and flatter your figure perfectly.
Women's jeans come in a variety of suitable styles including on-trend boot-cut, straight leg or skinny jeans.
When looking for something a little more special than your basic pair of denim jeans, bear in mind the following tips to make sure you pick embellishments which will give you an altogether more flattering pair of jeans.
* If you're a pear shape, choose darker coloured jeans and pair it with a brighter top to give the illusion of slimmer legs.
* Apple shapes should choose rear pockets closer to the seams to better show off a pert bum.
* Skinny jeans with an oversized top will emphasise slim legs.
Now you know what you're looking for, try not to get too caught up in the excitement of having seen a pair of jeans you think you love. Always try before you buy. There's nothing worse than getting home and realising the waist is too tight and the legs are too long.
Avoid any annoying mistakes and try the jeans that catch your eye on in a few different sizes. Don't be embarrassed to take a few pictures either, to find the best pair for you. Remember that sizes may differ in other shops or from other brands.
Where to wear
Jeans are something no woman can live without. Always on trend, you can create both casual and formal outfits with this tip-top fashion staple.
For a special occasion, match your jeans with a pair of statement heels for a glam yet understated look. – The Independent

Harry Reid lied about his awful attacks on our president, General Petraeus and our troops during the Iraq War tonight in his debate. Reid said he made his statement, "This war is lost," before the surge began. That is a lie. Bush proposed the surge in January 2007. Harry Reid made his infamous remark in April 2007 after our troops were deployed to save Iraq. Harry Reid is a liar.

I'm sorry, but the Nelson Clamp made me not want to board any more. I boarded every day for two weeks, soaked them in a hot tub and kept beer bottles in them between runs. It took two people to help get them off my feet and when I finaly got out I had chunks of skin missing from my ankles. NOT COOL. My advice is go with the Belmont's. Doubleup Boards ROCK... Have fun.

These bindings are sick!! The best bindings I have tried! But there are a few minus: First time I tried em, it was almost impossible to get my foot in it, and when I finally had, it felt like the blood sirculation had stopped in my foot. And it hurted when I was going get out of them (I was in pain)! But then I changed the tightness (unscrewed the hold binding) and now I just love those bindings! The pad your standing on is so thick and soft and comfortable, that it is just a dream to be standing on! I would recommended these bindings to almost everyone, maby not to beginners as they may be too thight, maby a little expencive but for the rest of you: go for it!!

Photos by Chuck Dube/Dallas Voice (MarceloMedia)
Scenes from the Dallas Mavericks championship parade
Looking for the gays at the Veterans Day Parade
Parades are always a good place to take a great front-page photo. But since we are the Dallas Voice we're looking for great LGBT subjects to be front and center in those photos. I made some calls this morning, but found no one going to the Veterans Day Parade.
I got downtown just in time for the 11 a.m. festivities.
Adm. Patrick Walsh was the keynote speaker. Walsh, who is from Dallas, is commander of the U.S. Pacific fleet. Also speaking were Gov. Rick Perry and Mayor Tom Leppert. City councilmembers and U.S. Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Jeb Hensarling were also on the podium in front of City Hall.
Nice reception by the crowd for Leppert. Wild reception for Perry. Didn't he lose here in Dallas? Guess it was just the crowd.
So in my quest to find gay vets, I did what I always do. I asked.
The Marines had a tent. I asked.
"Hi. I'm from Dallas Voice," I said with my press pass dangling and my largest telephoto lens attached to my camera to make myself seem more pressy. "I'm looking for any gay or lesbian vets. Any with your group?"
I might as well have been speaking to them in Russian.
Oh well. Army tent nearby. "Hey. Dallas Voice here. You guys know if any of the gay vets groups are marching?"
A slow shake of the head indicated, at least to me, that I actually was speaking in English.
One last chance. The Navy. My father was in the Navy during World War II and today's parade was in honor of World War II vets. Actually, my father did everything he could to stay out of the Navy. He and his brother, Milt, volunteered to work through most of the war in Washington. They were engineers and worked on a project that created the first radar system.That did a good job of keeping him out, until 1944 when he was drafted.
So I approached the Navy with more confidence, being from a Navy family.
"Hi. Dallas Voice. I'm looking for some gay or lesbian vets. You see any you know here?" I asked.
They laughed. I laughed. They were thinking and trying to be helpful.
"It's OK. I got some great pics. We'll find something colorful to use," I said.
And we did.
Happy Veterans Day to all the LGBT as well as straight vets.
WATCH: Bill White on why he's coming to gay Pride in Dallas — 'I think parades are great'
We weren't sure of the topic when we headed down to the Hyatt Regency this morning to catch a press conference featuring Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill White. But we figured since Valdez is the nation's only lesbian Latina sheriff — and since White is coming to Dallas' gay Pride parade in a few weeks — we'd better go check it out.
As it turned out, the press conference was about White's border security plan, which Valdez really likes. But Instant Tea also managed to sneak in a question about White's upcoming appearance in the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade — which was announced Monday night by Stonewall Democrats of Dallas. If you can forgive the shot of a pantleg at the beginning of the video, above is White's response to our question, as well as some footage of Valdez talking about White and LGBT issues afterward. Enjoy!
Fairness Fort Worth forges ahead
Fairness Fort Worth began as a reaction to the Rainbow Lounge raid but has evolved into an ongoing organization working for local equality.
David Mack Henderson, one the the group's organizers, sent word that at their Aug. 26 meeting, they will reveal their new logo.
In addition, they're rolling out a membership campaign with incentives for charter membership. The group should gain visibility in the upcoming weeks, participating in the Dallas and Fort Worth parades and with a booth at the Fort Worth picnic.
At the meeting, they'll provide an update on some of the things they've been working on:
** Update on city of Fort Worth policy directives and domestic partner benefits
** New outreach to FWISD on Anti-Bullying Project
** Local hospital LGBT policies
The general meeting is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at Celebration Community Church, 908 Pennsylvania Ave., Fort Worth, 76104. Everyone is welcome.
India Day Parade's 11th Hour Decision to Let The Gays March
Despite an earlier ban, the South Asian Lesbian Gay Alliance will be (or, depending on when you read this, already took part) in today's India Day Parade in NYC. Last year the Federation of Indian Associations blocked their application. So that's one way to make sure nobody is protesting your event.

The two sides cancelled each other out for most of an uneventful game.
Both negatively played five across the midfield and neither goalkeeper had a save to make in the first half.
Kilmarnock had the better of a livelier second-half but Pospisil's late header from a Laryea Kingston free-kick snatched all three points for Hearts.
Hearts suffered a blow before kick-off when Marius Zaliukas - the Edinburgh derby goal hero against Hibs - was injured in the warm-up and was replaced by Tomas Kancelskis.
Both sides played five in midfield, and that was where play was concentrated in the opening 15 minutes.
Neither keeper was called into action other than to collect overhit through balls or defensive passes.
Christophe Berra headed the first effort on target from Bruno Aguiar's 18th-minute corner but Peter Leven comfortably cleared at the far post.
Aguiar put in two more dangerous crosses in the proceeding minutes but the Killie defence coped easily.
Kingston shot harmlessly wide from 25 yards as both sides struggled to create openings.
The Ghanaian looked the brightest Hearts player and he showed his frustration at the lack of options as he kept possession well before being forced deeper and deeper.
Killie's best attacking moments came from corners but the closest they came in the opening half was when Ford met a Leven corner and looped a header yards over.
Kingston came closer from long range but Graeme Smith watched his powerful strike fly two yards past the post.
The home side produced some better football moments later but Velicka's diving header was off target following an Ivaskevicius cross.
Steven Naismith fired Colin Nish's low centre back across goal at the other end but the ball drifted out before Nish troubled Craig Gordon with his follow-up.
Hearts' top scorer Velicka looked isolated up front and fans were left baffled when he was taken off for fit-again winger Neil McCann.
Ivaskevicius moved inside from the right wing to assume the role of lone striker.
Aguiar moved wide and his dangerous cross just evaded McCann before Brellier threw himself at the ball in vain at the far post.
Leven had Killie's best opening midway through the second half when a set-piece fell to him just inside the box but his shot bounced harmlessly wide.
As the game headed towards a stalemate, Pospisil popped up to nod home his fourth goal of the season from Kingston's precise free-kick to help Hearts close the gap on Aberdeen to three points with five games to go.
A late tackle from Gary Wales on Berra sparked an injury-time melee which saw Goncalves sent off for sprinting 40 yards to remonstrate with the former Hearts man.
Momo Sylla was fortunate to escape action after running in to defend his team-mate and appearing to push Goncalves, with both benches heavily involved in the incident.
Hearts: Gordon, Karipidis, Kancelsku, Berra, Goncalves, Ivaskevicius (Pilibaitis 89), Aguiar (Pospisil 74), Kingston, Brellier, Driver, Velicka (McCann 65). Subs Not Used: Banks, Wallace, Tall, Neilson.
Sent Off: Goncalves (90).
Goals: Pospisil 78.
Kilmarnock: Smith, Fowler, Greer, Ford (O'Leary 46), Hamill (Locke 82), Wales, Sylla, Frazer Wright, Leven, Naismith, Nish (Di Giacomo 72). Subs Not Used: Harpur, Campbell, Quinn, Skora.

Curious about what payments professionals were reading last year? Here are the top books ranked by sales made through our Payments News Book Store on Amazon.com:
- Payments Systems in the U.S. – A Guide for the Payments Professional
Written by Carol Coye Benson and Scott Loftesness of Glenbrook Partners, this book provides a comprehensive description of the systems – (cards, checks, cash, ACH, etc.) that move money between and among consumers and enterprises in the U.S. In clear and lively writing, the authors explain what they systems are, how they work, who uses them, who provides them, who profits from them and how they are changing. Anyone working in the payments industry – or needing to use payments products – can benefit from understanding this.
- Bank 2.0: How Customer Behavior and Technology Will Change the Future of Financial Services
The financial crisis is just beginning for retail institutions. Ninety to ninety-five per cent of bank transactions are executed electronically today. The Internet, ATMs, call centres and smartphones have become mainstream for customers. But banks still classify these as alternative channels and maintain an organisation structure where Branch dominates thinking. Continued technology innovations, Web 2.0, social networking, app phones and mobility are also stretching traditional banking models to the limit. BANK 2.0 reveals why customer behaviour is so rapidly changing, how branches will evolve, why cheques are disappearing, and why your mobile phone will replace your wallet all within the next 10 years.
- Paying with Plastic: The Digital Revolution in Buying and Borrowing
More than a history book, Paying with Plastic delivers an entertaining discussion of the impact of an industry that epitomizes the notion of two-sided markets: those in which two or more customer groups receive value only if all sides are actively engaged. The authors, both of whom have researched the industry for more than 25 years, also examine the implications of the recent antitrust cases on the industry as well as other business and technological changes — including the massive consolidation brought about by bank mergers, the rise of the debit card, and the emergence of e-commerce — that could alter the payment card industry dramatically in the years to come.
- Business Model Generation: A Handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers
Business Model Generation is a handbook for visionaries, game changers, and challengers striving to defy outmoded business models and design tomorrow's enterprises. If your organization needs to adapt to harsh new realities, but you don't yet have a strategy that will get you out in front of your competitors, you need Business Model Generation. Co-created by 470 "Business Model Canvas" practitioners from 45 countries, the book features a beautiful, highly visual, 4-color design that takes powerful strategic ideas and tools, and makes them easy to implement in your organization.
- The SmartPhone Wallet: Understanding the Disruption Ahead
Do you use a mobile phone? — Do you use credit cards or debit cards? If so, you need to know that a revolution has started that will impact you sooner than you think, and this book will tell you – the consumer – what you need to know now. The reality is that a torrent of advertising and promotional marketing is heading your way to try to convince you to use new services on your SmartPhone at retail stores. Perhaps you have already seen some, or signed up for some. These new services may seem novel, but this revolution is far more significant than that.
- Priceless: The Case that Brought Down the Visa/MasterCard Bank Cartel
In a ground-breaking case that shook the business and legal worlds to their very cores, New York-based law firm Constantine & Partners sought to end a devastating credit monopoly that personally touched millions of consumers. Its efforts culminated in the largest federal antitrust settlement in U.S. history. In Priceless, author and lead counsel Lloyd Constantine relates the dramatic account of backroom strategizing and courtroom conniving during the high-stakes litigation. Constantine, who led the team representing the plaintiffs, vividly describes how the case pitted retailers against credit card companies, and pries the lid off dodgy debit card practices. The plaintiffs, including Wal-Mart, Sears Roebuck, The Limited, Safeway, and a class of five million stores, pitted their financial futures against Visa and Mastercard in this war between giants.
- Moving Money: The Future of Consumer Payments
Once we paid for things with bills, coins, or checks. Today we pay with zeroes and ones—digital entries on credit and debit cards, or electronic messages sent over the Internet. In Moving Money, distinguished analysts explore this trend, its development and likely future, and the ramifications of this transformation. This is a book about money as a medium of exchange—in the past, in the present, but particularly in the future. What forms has money taken over the years? Moreover, how have those means of payment changed in recent years, and how will they develop in the future? And what (if anything) should policymakers do to facilitate those changes, or at least allow them to develop and mature? Brookings economists Robert E. Litan and Martin Neil Baily and a distinguished group of experts dissect these issues and peer into the future of consumer payments.
- The PayPal Wars: Battles with eBay, the Media, the Mafia, and the Rest of Planet Earth
