AT&T 4G LTE Coming Soon to Bloomington
More customers can look forward to ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
Bloomington, Indiana, March 12, 2012
AT&T* plans to roll out 4G LTE in Bloomington soon, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology and faster mobile Internet speeds.
Bloomington customers will see several benefits from AT&T 4G LTE, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering speeds faster than many other mobile Internet technologies. Customers will be able to stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note™, HTC One X, and Pantech Element™ tablet.
- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
"AT&T customers in Bloomington can look forward to even faster mobile Internet speeds very soon, on our leading lineup of smartphones and devices," said Brian Ducharme, vice president and general manager, AT&T Indiana and Michigan. "We're excited to bring Bloomington all that 4G LTE has to offer. Our teams will be working hard across the city toward our upcoming launch."
AT&T's 4G Network
In addition to Bloomington, AT&T 4G LTE is also coming to Lafayette and Muncie, Ind.; Naples, Fla.; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La.; St. Louis, Mo; Akron, Canton and Cleveland, Ohio; Bryan-College Station, Texas; and Staten Island in New York City. These launches are scheduled for April, May and into the early summer.
AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering nearly 250 million people. Even as 4G LTE expands, AT&T customers are able to enjoy widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you're on a much slower 3G network.
Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more at att.com/network.

Rob Kardashian has denied he was referring to Rita Ora in a series of tweets which criticised an ex-girlfriend.
The reality TV star and younger brother of Kim was dating RIP singer Rita earlier this year.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star originally tweeted of an ex: "She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together, I wonder how many she will sleep with now that we apart? But I mean 20?!!!"
Twitter followers presumed he was referring to Hot Right Now singer Rita.
But Rob later reportedly tweeted: "Just so we clear I never once mentioned Rita Ora in any of my tweets."
Rob, who competed on Dancing With The Stars, added: "Never mentioned any names. I speak truth. I'm a very real dude and everything I say I mean."
Rita recently blamed the split on distance, saying: "I'm not going out with Rob. We were close for a while, but it didn't work because I was never there. I was like a ghost."

CHICAGO – The bright side to the injuries that have ravaged the Angels bullpen is that pitchers such as Dane De La Rosa and Michael Kohn have had a chance to excel.
They combined for nine key outs in the Angels' 7-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
"I think there is no doubt guys like Michael Kohn and Dane De La Rosa have jumped up and shown there is a role for them in what you hope is going to be a wining bullpen," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "These guys are putting their best stuff out there. When these other guys come back there is no doubt we will have a different look down there with the depth we'll start to cultivate."
Kohn, who worked the sixth, has allowed just one run and two hits in his last 71/3 innings, starting with an electric four strikeouts in two innings in the 19-inning game April 29.
De La Rosa, who lowered his ERA to 3.86 by pitching a perfect seventh and eighth, has become the team's top right-handed setup man.
Kohn and De La Rosa were the middle two in a conga line of relievers who collaborated on the final 16 outs. Mark Lowe followed emergency starter Barry Enright into the game in the fourth. Ernesto Frieri worked the ninth for his second save in as many days.
The Angels, who took the lead for good on Mike Trout's RBI single in the seventh, have won back-to-back games for the first time since they swept a three-game series from the Detroit Tigers April 19-21.

Amateur de violon (La Lune, February 1866)
André Gill was a well-known French 19th century caricaturist, as well as a painter and singer. He was born Louis-Alexandre Gosset de Guines in Paris as the son of the Comte de Guînes and couturier Sylvie-Adeline Gosset. He attended the Parisian Academy of Fine Arts and began his artistic career in the pages of Le Journal Amusant in 1859. He subsequently drew for Le Hanneton, the socialist paper La Rue and satirical magazines like Le Charivari, La Lune and L'Éclipse. He became especially known for his work for La Lune, that contained many frontpage caricatures. Gill's much imitated trademark became the supersized heads he gave his subjects on small bodies.
When La Lune was banned in 1868, he transferred to L'Éclipse where he remained until 1876. He gained notority through his attacks on government censorship of his work and statesman Adolphe Thiers, as well as a lawsuit and subsequent prison sentence when Gill allegedly drew a pumpkin for a judge's head. By 1876 Gill turned to a milder style when he worked for La Lune Rousse.
André Gill was also a singer with the Cabaret des Assassins in Montmatre, that later became known as the Lapin Agile. Gill suffered from mental illness was forced to enter a psychiatric hospital in 1880. He died five years later in the asylum of Charenton.

wednesday would only be the 12th? doesnt it come out next friday. Is it just me or is apples website so standard you cant even have a mailing address (different to your home address)? with the company being worth in the 100's of billions you would expect there website to be a bit more comprehensive
Who's TIME COOK?
Edit: Misspelling error.
My bad, yes the iPhone 4S is coming out next Friday, not Wednesday. The pre-sale started on a Wednesday.
So they run out of iPhones even before they start taking pre orders in Canada...
Glad to know you care about us apple, this is gonna end up like last year when I had to call 30 Rogers stores every day for 2 months to get one
Will apple never bloody learn!!! Half a decade later and they still Don't have the braincells to think their phones will do well and make enough to go around on launch? After all these months between what SHOULD have been this iPhones release and they STILL haven't made enough? What a useless bunch of morons! Am i the only one annoyed by this?
Good thing I ordered from Apple directly instead of AT&T. I Still have a delivery date for the 14th and this time I'm buying a case.
How did initial supplies run dry? Didn't they order millions of these phones from the manufacturers? Didn't Apple hire MULTIPLE companies to build this phone instead of just Foxconn?
lol. Apple is playing you people like a fiddle.
This is intentional supply shortage at its finest yet again.
Guys, I went to Best Buy to pre-order mine and they said that even though I'm putting 50 bucks down and pre-ordering, I'm not guaranteed the iPhone on launch. My ticket says that mine will be available for pickup on 10/31. They are selling the iPhone first come first serve on launch date, so if you didn't get time to pre-order from Apple, go stand in line at Best Buy!

SoftSheen-Carson Weave Care Weightless Sheen Spray
What a fantastic concept, whose time has truly come. I used this daily on my relaxed hair and on my extensions and I was very pleased with the nice shine, no oily or greasy film (or product build up) and a nice fragrance. In addition, it made my natural hair very soft and prevented frizz on my ends of my weaved hair. This is also fantastic for those of you who have braids or on temporary extensions (e.g. clip ins). I can't wait to try more from this line.

Diego Maradona slams 'jinx' claims
WARNING PROFANE GESTURE: RAW VISION: Argentina's 1986 World Cup winner Diego Maradona gives the finger on live television after claims that he is a 'jinx' on his national team.PT0M17S http://www.watoday.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3amwm 620 349 June 23, 2014
Former World Cup winner Diego Maradona showed Argentine FA President Julio Grondona the finger on live television after the football administrator had suggested Argentina scored against Iran because "jinxed" Maradona had left the stadium by then.
Argentina struggled against Iran at Belo Horizonte's Mineirao stadium on Saturday with Maradona in the stands as a spectator along with his daughter.
The 1986 World Cup winner got out of his seat and left shortly before the end of both halves, missing Lionel Messi's brilliant stoppage-time winner which gave them a 1-0 win and a place in the 16.

"Jinx this," Maradona said, looking at the camera of Venezuela's Telesur broadcaster for whom he works as a commentator at the World Cup and holding up his middle finger in response to Grondona's comments to reporters.
"Poor, stupid man. This is Messi's merit, Not because I left," Maradona added.
Telesur is a left-leaning Caracas-based Latin American network set up by the late socialist leader Hugo Chavez as an intended counterpoint to what he saw as capitalist-dominated global media.

Maradona was an admirer and friend of Chavez's, as well as Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro.
The 82-year-old Grondona, who has been head of the Argentina FA since 1979, was in charge when Maradona almost single-handedly steered Argentina to World Cup victory in Mexico in 1986.
Maradona was coach of the national team at the last World Cup in 2010.

Half of father-son team sentenced in robbery spree
Twenty-nine year old Jason Barberi, who held up a series of area convenience stores with his father in November 2011, was sentenced today to ten years in prison.
His father, 52-year-old Frederick Barberi, faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced in April.
Police said the pair went on a six-day robbery spree, holding up stores each day beginning Nov. 5, 2011. The son's weapon of choice was a wooden bat, according to court testimony. The father used a box cutter or a knife.
Jason Barberi pleaded guilty to three of the robberies under a plea agreement worked out by his attorney, Anthony Basilica, and prosecutor David J. Smith.
He pleaded guilty to robbing the Henny Penny in Pawcatuck of $250 on Nov. 5, 2011. Smith said Barberi told the clerk, "Give me the money or I'll kill you."
Barberi pleaded guilty also to robbing the Preston Mobil on Nov. 6, taking between $600 and $700. Finally, he pleaded guilty to holding up the Cumberland Farms in Baltic on Nov. 10, 2011, stealing $200 in cash and multiple cartons of cigarettes.
The father and son were arrested Nov. 11, 2011, after police learned they used a family member's car as a getaway vehicle.

Did you know?
Nudibranch are shell-less marine molluscs, similar to sea slugs.
Evening walks along the Garden Route are a wonderful way to experience the seashore at night. Judy Dixon – marine biologist, botanist, biochemist and accredited field guide – will introduce you to the wonders of the intertidal zone along one of South Africa 's most popular destinations, the Garden Route.
Before you hit the shore on one of the Garden Route evening walks, Judy will talk you through some of the familiar things you yourself might have seen or found on a beach – shells, seaweed, crabs, starfish – and explain how each facet of seashore life adapts to its own environment.
Then it's off to Swartvlei beach, the perfect coastal walking destination thanks to its plethora of rock pools, all of which are host to a treasure trove of marine life.
You can take the Moonlight Meander, which takes place only at full moon, or the Starlight Stroll, at new moon, throughout the year. But in winter, expect a special delight – bioluminescence. This production of light by living organisms causes the sea to sparkle and glow, a sight to behold. You won't know whether to focus your attention on the sea, the moon or the stars because they are all so brilliant and lovely.
Even though it's night, prepared to be dazzled. As Judy says: 'the pools are a kaleidoscope of colour – vivid red anemones, purple urchins, orange nudibranch and a Persian carpet of cushion stars.'
Octopuses streak through the water after hapless prey, rocks suddenly spring to life and the sand erupts with all kinds of small critters, from ghost crabs and plough snails to pill bugs. All you need is a good torch, a capacity to listen and a sense of wonder.
Join a group, take your family (children love these walks), go solo – just don't miss this experience.

WORCESTER Wolves say fans won't have to wait too long to discover their plans for life without Zaire Taylor.
The University Arena club are yet to announce any new signings or retained players for next season and have seen their preparations disrupted by Taylor leaving.
Last season's British Basketball League most valuable player opted to join London Lions earlier this month despite holding talks with Worcester over a new deal.
Although the new season does not start until September 26, with a trip to defending champions Newcastle Eagles, Wolves are keen to get their squad in place.
Director of basketball Paul James, whose team won the BBL play-offs and Trophy last term, said: "Hopefully, in the next week or two we'll be able to start announcing some signings that we've made.
"There will be one or two new faces coming into the squad with Zaire going but we will look to replace him with the best players we can possibly get.
"Hopefully, the team that we're building will be very exciting again."
Meanwhile, Great Britain's men will play two friendly matches against Latvia next month as part of their build-up to EuroBasket 2015. The games take place on Saturday, July 19, and Sunday, July 20, with both tipping off at 2pm at the University of Worcester Arena.
n Great Britain's women bounced back from defeat to Lithuania with a fine 74-70 victory over Belgium in their latest EuroBasket qualifier in Antwerp.

Murdered W&J football player remembered at funeral
Tim McNerney was one of the first people whom DeAndre Simmons met when he joined the Washington & Jefferson College football team.
"He asked me what position I play and I said running back and he smirked and said, 'Me, too,' " said Simmons, 22, a W&J senior. "From then on, it was an ongoing competition."
On Tuesday, Simmons mourned at his friend's funeral, where he and others remembered McNerney as more than a talented football player.
"Tim, in many ways, was the best of us," Brandon Flick, 22, who played football with McNerney at Knoch, said outside the church. "It's hard to describe his impact."
McNerney, 21, of Penn Township, Butler County, died from head trauma suffered when he and a teammate were attacked and robbed by as many as six men on a street in Washington, Pa., on Thursday. McNerney was a standout senior running back at Washington & Jefferson College and was the all-time leading rusher at Knoch High School.
More than 300 people, many of them McNerney's high school and college teammates, attended his Tuesday morning funeral at Holy Sepulcher Roman Catholic Church in Middlesex. A bagpiper played as pallbearers carried his casket into and out of the church.
The Rev. John Gizler, pastor at Holy Sepulcher, said during the funeral Mass that McNerney "leaves behind shoes too big to fill."
"He was a shining ray of light to those who knew him," he said. "He had great integrity and, despite his youth, was very wise.
"He inspired and challenged those around him. And he practiced what he preached because he lived up to his own ideals."
Colin McNerney, 21, said his cousin inspired him with his outlook on life.
"He looked for the positive in everything," McNerney said following the service. "He didn't tell me that; he showed me."
W&J coach Mike Sirianni said McNerney's death hit the team hard.
"He was that kid on the team that everyone looked up to when things were going bad," Sirianni said. "It's tragic. I hope this is the worst thing these 18- to 22-year-olds have to deal with — especially with the way it happened."
Meanwhile, the investigation into the beating death continues. Surveillance video shows several people in the area when the crime occurred, Washington police Chief Robert Lemons said Tuesday.
"We can't judge anything off it," he said. Lemons declined to elaborate.
McNerney is survived by parents Denise and Robert, brother Patrick and grandparents Francis and Frances Schanck and Ruth McNerney.
"Six days ago we never would have believed we would be bidding farewell to a man like him," Gizler said. "He was a talented musician, coach and mentor. He has left a legacy that some take a lifetime to achieve."

Best Uses
We recently finished our garage attic, and we needed a light-colored floor. This one was perfect, and we absolutely love it. The boards came in 3 different lenghts. At first I was a little disappointed, but I soon realized what a good idea this is: you have very little waste. We bought the exact square footage for the room and ended up with 1/2 a box left over. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were a few damaged (chipped) boards, but we ended up using most of them by cutting out the damaged parts. If they still have it when we are ready to do our living room, we want to use the same product again.
Service and delivery comments:
We picked up the product ourselves. The person who helped us was very friendly, gave us some information on the trim, but did not try to talk us into buying more than we needed. We will definitely go back to get our next laminate flooring. Very positive experience.
This flooring was for our bedroom, it has brightened it up so much and looks great with the darker color furniture. We found it to be a little difficult to lay, however, I really do love the flooring.
Best Uses
Nice and easy to put down,, take your time to put down will chip easy if your not paying attention
Best Uses
Really nice looking floor and easy to install once you get the hang of it. Install takes touch not muscle. Ensure seems in board are in different local each row makes floor hold better especially early in project.
Only thing I am unsure of is some pieces did not have smooth edges and I am afraid they will be spots that chip easily. New install and have not had this problem yet.
Floor looks good and has had many compliments alreasdy.
Best Uses
This was installed in a smaller bedroom. The room was dark and needed a lighter floor which this product provided. The subfloor was level and having pre-attached pad, the floor was installed directly on the subfloor.
This was my first floor installation. I researched for a couple of weeks on the methods, tricks, and watch outs. Not being one to do anything easy, I decided that laying the floor at 45 degrees would look great. And it does! However, it took 2 to 3 times longer at 45 and you need to work from both edges starting at the middle of the room out. Do some research if you will be flooring a closet, too.
If you will be installing this flooring yourself, get the installation kit!!! You cannot do this without it. Also, use the wall spacers. As you use the tapping block and pull bat, the entire floor moves. It WILL get out of square quickly without the spacers. A 12" compound miter saw made quck work of the cuts. I can't imagine using a hand saw.
The look and feel of this flooring is superb. The graining doesn't appear repeated like some styles. The foot-feel is warm which is a nice suprise. The seams are tight which makes cleaning easy. After 1 year, there are no signs of wear or dents even with kids in and out of the room constantly. Because there are 3 different lenghts of boards in each box, I didn't have issues using a long board for a small piece. I ended up with just under 3% scrap and was able to return 1 unopened carton. If all boards were the same length, I would have had much more scrap.
You need to be carefull handling the boards. The edges of the laminate are somewhat brittle and will chip if bumped. I have 2 small chips along the seam that do show since the core is much darker than the face. These chips are small and really, no one but me knows they are there. The locking of the boards is tricky. Once flat, they stay together really well. But, as you install a long row, lifting the last board even a little will release the lock. 2 people and a lot of tapping are needed for long rows. Once you get going and learn the tricks, it gets easier and faster.
Overall, I had a lot of fun installing this flooring with the help of my 9 year old son. The results are very good and I would do it again. There is a lot of value with this product and I didn't think a laminate would look this good. And now my son believes I can do anything!
Best Uses
EXACTLY what we needed to bring our tropical theme together in our Den! Not a great product for the inexperienced installer though. Due to type of tongue and grove it can be very difficult to click, and stay together without knowing some tricks.
Best Uses
We've got two dogs that love to chase each other around the house and when we brought that up to the in-store rep, he immediately recommended going with a 12mm laminate like this one. We're not entire done laying it yet but we can already tell that this stuff is durable. A few dropped tools on it here, sliding our refridgerator on/off of it multiple times and of course the dogs running around on it and there's not a single mark to be seen.
What I like most about this aside from the durability and looks is that it's hand scratched to give it a much more pleasing texture. This flooring feels great to walk aroud on barefoot and helps brighten up the room!
Service and delivery comments:
We were quoted 10-14 days for delivery and it ended up being closer to 21 days. I was disappointed because nobody from Lumber Liquidators contacted us to give us updates or let us know it would be late.
Once it did arrive at our local store the store employees were VERY helpful in getting it loaded and making sure to answer any questions I had about installation.
Best Uses
I took the label from a box left over from a previous installation, thinking that the new flooring could be integrated with the old in one continuous flow. I was very disappointed when the two were different sizes and a T-mould had to be placed between the two, disrupting the aesthetic flow.
Service and delivery comments:
Prompt and in good condition.
Best Uses
I am on the fence with this product. The price was great but 2 of the boxes we opened had multiple chips in the laminate before we even started, it was hard to click together and more of the boards chipped as we were installing it. It looks great now that it is in, but I probably wasted a full 2 boxes due to chipped boards. I recommend hiring someone to install it.
Best Uses
Installed in bedroom and looks great. Took 2 people about 6 hours to install

A:This is a product of the China.
Q:Can this laminate be installed over vinyl floor? Does it effect warranty?
1 answer
A:Yes it can!
Q:It's a little late now to be asking, but I am going to anyway. We got a little confused why three different lengths in the box? Was there suppose to be a pattern? Was there a particular way the three lengths were suppose to be connected?
1 answer
A:Layout several pieces and dry/visualize the layout.
Q:Can it be installed on a step or stairs? Whats needed to do this if so?
1 answer
A:Yes and no. Laminate flooring and nosing isn't ideal for stairs, fine for one or two steps but we caution the use of it on an entire staircase. People do it but it can be unsafe. Check your local building codes. Hardwood flooring and nosing works well. When laminate IS used you must fully glue with 100% urethane adhesive without the use of padding, padding attached laminate must have paddling scraped off.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Edgar Herrera tallied two goals and a assist as the Saint Leo men's soccer team (2-0) upended the Webber International Warriors (0-2), 6-1, Monday night from University Field.
The non-region contest saw Herrera open the scoring when he turned and blasted a shot from the left edge of the area off a feed from Joel Purkiss in the 17th minute.
Soon after, Herrera took advantage of a Webber foul as the sophomore's set piece found the upper left corner to bring the score to 2-0. After a kickoff miscue cut the Lions' lead in half, Saint Leo settled in over the final 20 minutes as Viktor Wikner put together a brilliant goal in the 37th-minute and Michael Panter put home the Lions' fourth goal after a cross from Konstantin Pyankov in the 43rd.
Out of halftime, Bruno Da Silva rocketed a left foot shot from 15 yards out into the upper left portion of the net.
Purkiss finished-off Webber with terrific right to left shot that crossed the face of goal and found the upper left.
It was all the Lions needed as all six goals tallied during the Labor Day showdown occurred before a 30-minute lightning delay.
In goal, McKenzey Scott (2-0) earned his second-straight win as he made one save. Jake Hirst and Sean Jones also saw action for the first time in 2011.
In total, the Green and Gold outshot the Warriors, 16-6. The Lions also held an advantage in corners, 7-1, while Webber eclipsed Saint Leo in the foul department, 14-11.
The Lions will return to action on Friday, September 9, when they travel to South Carolina to battle Newberry College. Kickoff is set for 7:00 pm. For the latest news, information, and updates on the men's soccer team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Western Digital Acquires STECby Kristian Vättö on 6/24/2013 10:05 AM EST

sherlockwing - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkLooks like after Seagate enters the SSD market, WD is going to jump in as well. Reply
markwrob - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkWD already has a presence in the SDD market through HGST products, as the article noted. I wonder if the STEC acquisition is more about gaining more/better access to flash chip supplies that STEC had contracts for. As other articles point out, the market has the big players with flash fabs (Samsung Micron Toshiba Intel) then folks like WD, STX, and a raft of others without flash fabs. In the second group, the bigger your fistful of contracts, the better. Reply
HappyCracker - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkI believe STEC is also a large supplier of enterprise flash drives to companies like EMC. That means really good margins on the drives compared to the consumer grade line. Reply
milehigh53366 - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkActually STEC had not sold any drives to EMC for quite some time. They got famous for a one time buy from EMC. STEC has been in hot water from investors for a long time and their chairman was investigated by SEC. STEC really has no OEM customers now to speak of.
The only way this works for WD is if they remove all management and finance people from STEC. Reply
milehigh53366 - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkSTEC had flash purchase agreements with Samsung, but has switched to Toshiba in the last year or two. That switch and a two year late ASIC set STEC back tremendously. Still, I think if HGST had pushed out a PCI-e flash product I don't think they would have bought STEC.
Remember that WD and SanDisk agreed earlier this year to work on hybrid HDD/flash drives. That might give WD access to some NAND for other products (or maybe not). Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkThe trend is clear:
1. ARM devices are steadily eviscerating traditional PC market share.
2. ARM devices contain an SSD controller which eliminates the market for the type WD products often found in PCs. Reply
cyrusfox - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkThis has nothing to do with Arm infiltration and everything to do with rotating platters(Tradition Hard Drives) being noncompetitive against ssd in terms of performance.
Also embedded NAND in MCP(Multi chip packages) or e-MMC currently still contain an individual controller.
Your second point should be reversed to state SSD devices contain a controller which may use an ARM chip or something much more custom. WD currently uses some arm chips for HDD controllers as well. Reply

(In response to an e-mail from a viewer who says, "Our Prophet (pbuh) never laughed out loud. He always smiled. He laughed in such a way as to show his teeth only twice, and that is all. But our brothers in the studio sometimes laugh out loud.")
Allah shows us in the Qur'an that laughter is quite acceptable. He places no limit of laughter. This is not an honest and sincere thing to say. Our Prophet (pbuh) was very joyful and would laugh out loud. And laughter is becoming of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). You will see him laughing in paradise. All the prophets were very joyful, masha'Allah. Why should he not laugh? His wives were joyful, and so was her. They are our mothers, masha'Allah. "He only laughed twice…" as if they were there with him!
Our Prophet (pbuh) could smile or could be very serious. Being serious is no crime. And if he liked something, he would smile. He would laugh out loud, with a passion. Why should he not laugh? Why hold himself back? What do unbelievers say to us? They tell us to weep a lot and laugh little. But I tell them, you weep if you want, we are going to laugh and laugh.
This is a defamation of our Prophet (pbuh). It is unconscionable and bad manners. "Seek women's advice and do the exact opposite of what they say." All women, without exception. Our Prophet (pbuh) is said to have said that, may Allah forbid! "Consult with them." What shall we do, where shall we go, what shall we wear? What should we eat? Which house should we move to? Which school should the children go to? "Consult with them and do the exact opposite." One must do the opposite of what satan says, not women. Why do the opposite of what women say? They are our mothers, our wives, our dears. How can that be? Women are highly intelligent. People thought that people used to fly in those days, marvelous things happened, but that these miracles have all stopped with scientific progress in the End Times. They imagined that the age of myth and wonder is over. But then they looked and saw that everything our Prophet (pbuh) said is coming true. Everything he said, after 1400 years. They then realized that marvelous things were happening.
"Obedience to women is a filthy thing." Look, a fabrication by fanatics. Look, "You must leave women behind as Allah has left them behind." They would have us leave them behind everywhere. They walk along with their guts dragging on the ground and their women behind them. Let them walk beside you. What is wrong with that? Do you not love them. What a dangerous and wrong way of thinking! This mindset undervalues and degrades them. A Muslim could never be so rude. And it is especially and hugely immorally to make such an accusation about the Messenger of Allah (pbuh).
"One out of ninety-nine women is in paradise, the rest are in hell." Meaning they are all in hell. They imagine that paradise will be full of men. If you are a woman, you are in hell. The most amazing accusations. Look how humiliating it all is. And then to ascribe this to our Prophet (pbuh), may Allah forbid! The worst oppression and lack of conscience. Terrible defamation and cruelty.
"Women are like monkeys because of their fascination with clothing. They are like dogs as they are unwilling to be poor. They resemble snakes because of their arrogance toward their husbands and others. They resemble scorpions because they chase people away night and day, they resemble because they sell things from their homes, they resemble foxes because of the snares they set for men and sheep because they obey their husbands." Unbelievable! They insult women in every way they can think of. This is all a fabrication by losers, fanatics devoid of love and frozen minds.
"Women's minds are in their private parts," in sexual relations, in other words. If it is a lawful relationship, why should she not? A man can also think about it, if it is lawful. That is how Allah has created them, in such a way as to think about it. Is that a crime? But only if the relationship is lawful, insha'Allah.
"I have never seen an entity capable of distracting a man, so deficient in reason and faith," our Prophet (pbuh) is supposed to have said that, may Allah forbid. The fanatics have fabricated everything that entered their heads.
"Women are ungrateful," he says.
"Even if her husband's body is covered in filth and the woman licks it all off, she has still not done enough to repay her husband." Look at the immorality of that. What is so special about that man? How can anyone say that to a Muslim woman? What a terrible insult and lack of conscience! Yet this filthy types still say "We fear Allah," as they go out and about in their white turbans.
"A woman cannot fully repay her husband even if his body is covered in pus and she licks it all off." See how filthy these fanatics are? Only because he feeds and clothes her.
Our Prophet (pbuh) walked around the market of Ukas in Mecca. Women's breasts were completely uncovered there. And he preached to them, too. There were women wearing underwear only, and he preached to them. Everyone was there in the market. There were Christian ladies all covered up, and he preached to them. There were women semi-covered up, and he preached to them. He preached to everyone. People fail to understand those times. They have no idea of the Meccan period. Most women went around with their breasts uncovered. Some were even totally naked. The verses were sent down for them. Almighty Allah made them cover themselves up. The same with men. They would wrap something round themselves quickly and go out. Just enough to cover their private parts. Some were even worse than that. Those days were very different to how you imagine. Study the history of those times, and learn.
(Regarding a report that American troops in Afghanistan burned holy books, including the Qur'an, and that soldiers are now to be given religious instruction)
They are enraged when they see the fanatics. There are more advanced versions of our fanatics there. Misogynists. People who loathe women. They make a hell on earth for women. They make them suffer terribly. But they themselves stink just like animals. All they know is killing, slaughter and hatred; let's kill Christians, let's kill Jews, let's kill Shiites and Wahhabis. That is their psychopathic mindset. Then when the American soldiers see them they are filled with hatred. They are ignorant, too, of course. They imagine there is something about the Qur'an, so they attack it. Now they say that education is to be provided on that.
(Regarding women)
Good conscience and love require we win women over and take care over their health and well-being. Their happiness is a religious obligation. There can be no question of upsetting or hurting them or making them ill. Harming their chastity, honor or good character is oppression, insha'Allah. Everyone must do all he can to ensure they live peaceful and pleasant lives. Allah has entrusted them to us, like flowers.2012-04-09 21:29:56

MALVERN Town Football Club is looking to re-establish itself at the heart of the town's community after registering as a not-for-profit organisation.
Directors Chris Pinder and Ted Grizzell completed their takeover of the club in September and now plan to adopt a pioneering approach to running a semi-professional football club as a social enterprise.
By becoming a Community Interest Company (CIC), the club must act for the good of the community and its profits and assets must be used for the benefit of local people.
Mr Pinder said: "Ted and I got involved to save the club and enjoy it, not profit from it. Our ambition is to be a vibrant, visible and viable club, self-sustaining with improved community facilities and activities.
"To achieve this, we must top-up our current income with external grant funding and other support.
"Similar to a charity, being a registered CIC means we are officially not-for-profit, which qualifies Malvern Town Football Club for more potential funding streams from people like The Lottery, SportEngland and the FA."
The club has already invested in the laying of a new professional-grade pitch at its Langland Stadium home and is also looking to update the dilapidated changing room facilities with new heating, lighting, electrics and showers in-time for the start of the 2014/15 season.
Mr Pinder added: "We have all age groups playing at the club next year, including children's finals and a ladies side. They really deserve to use a warm changing room with a hot shower and compete on a professional-grade pitch.
"We are already delivering the best pitch in the area, but we need help with the building works. Now that we are officially 'not-for-profit' I hope this increases our chances of attracting outside assistance from benevolent local companies and funding organisations."
All the buildings on the site also require replacement roofs and insulation to improve energy efficiency.
Prior to the takeover, the club had debts of more than £200,000 and faced being forced to sell its Langland Stadium home.
For more information and to get involved with the club, email Mr Pinder via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Designers from Carolina Herrera to Haider Ackermann looked to the Far East for inspiration this season—get the look by incorporating Chinese, Japanese, and Korean detailing, like tassels, obi belts, floral embroidery, into your spring wardrobe.
When choosing your own Asian-inspired pieces, take a cue from Louis Vuitton and John Galliano, who both opted to use floral embroidered satins, frog closures, and traditional Chinese silhouettes.

Largely considered the first Chinese-American movie star, Anna May Wong began her career in silent films and is probably best known for playing beside Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express in 1932. Though her career was quite illustrious, it was riddled with discrimination — Wong famously turned down the part of a Chinese villain in The Good Earth after being passed over for the starring role of the Chinese heroine that, ultimately, went to German-born Luise Rainer — as well as frustration over being pigeonholed into stereotypical "dragon lady" characters. Korean filmmaker Yunah Hong just completed a documentary exploring the life and career of Wong, titled Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words, which was eight years in the making.

The title says it all, is there an alternative to iframes that validates XHTML Strict 1.0 ?
I need to put a little piece of HTML from another server to my site.
Why don't you take xhtml 1.0 transitional?
[offtopic]Denmark is cool, actually im living their...[\offtopic]
I do everything strict !
So, it´s not possible ?
An alternative is to use server side includes.
Well, does server side includes work for URLs outside my own domain ?
According to this you can but I guess it depends on the set up on the server you are pulling the code from. Perhaps, someone with more knowledge can answer this?
That should go with server side includes. Then make a div element with overflow and you have an alternative...
just try it.
"PHP include directives can also point at files on any web site using a full URL:
<?php include("http://www.othersite.com/filename.html"); ?>
Of course, you must not steal content from another web site without the express written permission of the owners. To do so is a copyright violation and may lead to legal action against you."
I got the above from here
The other server is also my site.
I will try the php include - thanks
If dropping to Transitional is the only/quickest way to do something, then why not?
You could also try this, but I'm not guaranteeing it will work across all browsers:
<object type="text/html" data="http://someurl.com/htmlpage"
width="250" height="500">
<param name="src" value="http://someurl.com/htmlpage" />
Alternate content for browsers without object support.
Thanks, I will try that too.
As Vinnie said, object is what should be used instead of iframe. Unfortunately, some rather popular browsers have poor support for object.
Not sure if you've seen this already, but Aleksander Vacic described an alternative method to iframes on his site
Looks interesting, I will play with that also.
You can also use:
div.myframe { width: 400px; height: 500px; overflow: scroll; }

You can put some text here, but not put an external HTML file, But you could use php includes.

Object will not work in IE 6.0 for external domains. If you have to do it, you need to change the security settings of your browser. Even for IFRAMES accessing cookies will fail due to security settings in IE 6.0.
Is there any way to overcome? Is there any alternate method other than IFRAME and Object? Any body please help.
I decided on server side includes - faster and better.
You can use this
<object classid="clsid:25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13" type="text/html" data="xpto.html" width="300" height="300"></object>
Hey all,
I just wanted to post this is the case that someone may need it.
In that post I describe how to use jQuery to create xHTML-Strict iFrames. I looked for ages for a solution and finaly just decided to make my own.
hope it helps!
That is just fooling the validator by changing the HTML to be invalid after the page loads.

Villaverde Municipal Health Care Center
Estudio Entresitio
Madrid, Spain
Villaverde's Health Care Center by Madrid-based architectural office estudio.entresitio is the third building in a set of "triplet" healthcare centers built and repeated almost identically. Breaking with the standard single-building commission, the Healthcare Center has now been recreated three times with small variations. Villaverde's Center is certainly one fine result.

You failed to mention the signal strength of the phone. Please do provide a line about it in as many reviews as possible.

The Viewty will accept larger SD cards than 2GB as long as you format them on your PC and not in the phone. You must then make sure that you have less than 2GB free space on the phone. So, fill the card up with all your music/films etc but leave 2GB for daily use.

I've had this phone for a few weeks now. It's a very buggy phone. Example - When you receive a call a message appears on screen which says "Press the End button to silence". Well, pressing the End button just hangs up on the call. The predictive texting system is terrible. For example, when you want to type "is" it recommends 47. Or when you want to type "That's" it recommends That17. Also words you store (new spellings) are not position aware. For example if you save "Hello" it will always be Hello, even if it's in the middle of a sentence. The scrolling is just stupid. Why couldn't they just have added scroll bars? Instead you either have to use the camera's zoom lense to scroll up and down, or very awkwardly move your finger up and down the screen (this doesn't really work properly.) The battery has to be recharged every day. There are loads of other little annoying bugs. Like if you choose a contact, change your mind and choose someone else, you get an error. I work in Quality Assurance and the quality of this phone is terrible. It was obviously rushed to market with minimal testing. They need to issue a firmware upgrade.

Can some tell me how do we increase the phone book memory from 500 entries only..... i need to store around 1500 entries...any clues ???
7. lamoLG (unregistered)
Zak get a life! No mention could I find regarding voice dialing. How do you dial the phone if you are driving? It is illegal in some countries to do it manually. And thanks Steve for your input. I won't be getting the phone now, and knowing LG I think you will be waiting a long time for them to be bothered with any firmware updates. (speaking from past experience) So all in all, LG disappoints again. They never seem to get it right with the logical human process. They do come close but its frustrating that they don't fix the little things.

can someone tell me that to increase the earphone volume in call?
10. MIKEbee (unregistered)
Signal Strength????? Yes its a big problem if your house is situated in a poor reception area, There are no problems when I switch my sim to my old Nokia N80 it hold onto signal without problems. The Viewty however displays Emergency Calls Only for long periods. Its a great video and touch screen is also great, but its a phone and it needs a better antenna. I have had phone for nearly a year now, is there anyone who has had a recent replacement and found its signal Better??
11. (unregistered)
i have crazy problems with the reception, the phone keeps displaying emergency calls only for hrs now, can some one help me?
14. ilove lg (unregistered)

THE final edition of a legendary British comic has flown off newsagents' shelves after it was published for the last time in its 75-year history.
The Dandy, which was first printed on December 4, 1937, and continued publication throughout the Second World War, hit a peak readership in the 1950s, when over two million people regularly bought the comic, which featured characters including Desperate Dan, Korky The Cat, and Bananaman.
In recent years, however, the number of readers has fallen to about 8,000, leading publishers DC Thomson to close the printed edition, and relaunch The Dandy as an online comic.
Newsagents across York found their supplies had disappeared from their shelves within hours of opening, as former readers rushed to pick up a copy of the milestone comic.
Trevor Bailey, manager of Lendal News, said the 12 copies he had ordered had "flown off the shelves", and had been bought by people from a range of ages, while Chris Price, manager of WH Smith in Coney Street said the 27 copies had sold out within an hour of the store opening.
He said: "It's been mostly adults and not children buying it. We've ordered more, but we're not sure if we'll get any."
John Hutchison, of Maynews in Goodramgate, York, said the shop had sold out and was trying to get hold of more copies from the wholesalers, but it was proving very difficult.
A spokeswoman for DC Thomson said the final edition had already gone into reprint, with an increased run of up to 100,000 copies expected, and by 10.30am, copies were already selling on auction site eBay for £9.99.
Sir Paul McCartney told the NME in 1963 that his personal ambition was to appear in The Dandy, and he featured in the 100-page final printed edition.
But now the comic's characters will continue in a new digital format with an interactive motion comic which features gameplay at dandy.com.
Craig Ferguson, editor of the new Dandy, said: "We're giving The Dandy a whole new dimension and bringing a new lease of life to our characters.
"We all know how popular digital devices have become with children so we're drawing on our traditional heritage and updating our product to make it relevant for today's children."

TORRINGTON -- Mayor Ryan Bingham leaned forward, looked straight ahead at Torrington Public Schools administrators and Board of Education members, and posed a simple question: "If you were in our shoes," he said, with Torrington Board of Finance members flanking him on either side, "would you raise taxes to support this budget?"
Board of Education members Ken Traub and David Oliver sat beside Superintendent of Schools Cheryl Kloczko and Director of Business Services Danielle Batchelder, looked at one another and nodded affirmatively. Other members from the board, sitting in the front row of the audience, nodded likewise.
To support the education budget, they believe, taxes will have to be raised in Torrington.
The last two years, Bingham has requested every department in the city bring their budget in at a zero percent increase. Abiding by his requests those two years, the education department has reallocated funding, reduced programming and meshed services with city departments to meet the requests. But now, a $66,296,577 Board of Education-approved 2012-13 budget with a 4.08 percent increase - nearly $2.6 million -- is necessary to provide a quality education that has been skinned to bare bones, officials said.
"A lot of things have not been able to grow and develop as they should have, and that's what's hurting us," Kloczko said, who, in her first official year of overseeing the budget, presented the outlined budget to Torrington's Board of Finance Tuesday during a joint meeting.
Education officials said a 3 to 5 percent increase is needed to sustain the current level of education -- a level that has witnessed cuts in past years that have come on the backs of general education.
"Being on a zero percent increase for the past two years," Kloczko said, "It's caught up with us."
Board of Finance members shot questions in the educators' direction, although they didn't make any suggestions as to where cuts -- if any -- should be made. Fifty-one percent of the proposed $66.3 million budget funds district salaries and 23 percent goes to benefits, making staffing the biggest target for some finance board members.
Bill LaMoin was quick to point out the staffing levels and ratio of teachers-to-students, hoping for some cost-efficiencies.
"What if you change the elementary staffing to have more than 20 in classes?" he asked. "That's six or seven staffing positions.
"Does it jeopardize 'best practice'?" LaMoin said, referencing a Kloczko statement about elementary education.
"Early childhood is my background, and yes it would," she responded. "It would severely affect [best practices]."
Tuesday night's joint meeting was the first official glance Board of Finance members had of the education budget, and next week they will examine the city's departments' proposed finances, followed by a public hearing. There was a large turnout Tuesday by teachers and school district employees, but during the public comment section, only two people disassociated with the schools threw in their two cents.
Of the four speakers, only one opposed the education budget, citing cost of living difficulties, and with the proposed budget, a tax increase.
"I understand their concerns. I would, however, like to add my concern that we can't afford the current expenses," resident William Moran said. "Seventy-five percent of the budget is represented by salaries and salary benefits. As a business person, you look at the budget and you aim for where the money is.
"I reference that to the people who are out of jobs; jobs that are paying less and experiencing the same inflation costs that are being alluded to here by the Board of Education."
The mayor commended the education board members on their work, but also mentioned "the reality" of the situation, should the proposal be accepted by the taxpayers.
"There is no option for no tax increase if this budget is passed," Bingham said. "That's the reality."

A SEARCH for missing Matthew Jordan is due to get under way in Bowness today (Saturday).
The search is said to be confined to Matthew's family and friends who will be combing the area and where Matthew went missing.
Police search Advisors, will be present to offer expert search advice and to co-ordinate the search effort.
Images and videos which capture the last confirmed sightings of missing Matthew Jordan have been released by police.
It comes as the search for Matthew, aged 20, from Middlesbrough, enters its tenth day.
The criminology student was last seen in the early hours of Thursday March 27 following a night out with friends in Bowness.
Detective Inspector Furzana Nazir said: "We are releasing these images in the hope that this jogs someone's memory, did you see someone that looked like Matthew on this night? No matter how irrelevant you may believe your information is, we would like to hear from you.
"Matthew's family and friends have been here since the day he was reported missing. We have detectives, local officers, underwater search teams, mountain rescue and search dogs all trying to find him.
"The response from the local area in assisting with our enquiries is heart-warming and everyone wants the end result of Matthew being reunited with his family safe and well."
- Kendal fish and chip shop in running to be named best in UK
- Latest traffic situation in South Lakes and north Lancashire
- Thieves break into van and steal money and bank cards
- Kendal McDonald's branch closed until late September
Part one of the CCTV images show Matthew leaving his friends who were at the Stag's Head at 0.26am and walking off in the direction of Church Street towards the Lake Road promenade.
The second part is following Matthew's return and shows him sitting outside the same pub. He then heads off down Church Street at 0.44am, this is the last confirmed sighting of Matthew.
Detective Inspector Nazir added: "It remains unknown as to where he went. I can't reiterate enough how out of character this is.
"I would like to appeal to the public again to please get in touch with any information they have."
Matthew is described as 6ft tall, of medium build, with dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a navy long sleeved shirt, jeans and grey pull up boots.
On Wednesday Matthew's parents delivered an emotional appeal for information.
Mum Clare Jordan said: "We know Matthew had money on him and that his mobile phone battery had gone flat.
"He asked for assistance at one establishment to use a phone charger and a taxi to be ordered.
"He also asked at another establishment for a room for the night.
"Unfortunately none of these requests were fulfilled.
"Matthew was last seen heading towards the Rayrigg Road at around 1am.
"We believe that there must be more sightings of Matthew at this time, please come forward with any information no matter how small.
"Matthew is our world. We love you Matthew. We will find you and we will never give up looking for you."
DI Nazir added: "There is no reason to suggest anyone had fallen out – Matthew had gone towards the toilets and that's where his friends thought he was.
"They were four lads, all of a similar age, build and height, all from the North East and all students.
"They have all been described by witnesses so far as nice, polite lads."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cumbria Police on 101 as soon as possible and ask for the duty sergeant at Windermere, or call Missing People in confidence on 116 000.

THE Magpies will be without Alex Godfrey for tomorrow's trip to Gosport Borough in the Wyvern Combination League (3pm).
The wing-wizard is currently nursing an ankle injury that is likely to keep him out for at least another five weeks.
Adam Taylor is also a doubt due to work commitments but Josh Tennant and Lewis Morgan could feature.
Dorchester boss Dave Kiteley said: "We played them three times last season and they were all tight games, so I am expecting no different tomorrow.
"Teams that play in that area are always going to be strong, physical and hard-working, and it is going to be a difficult test.
"It looks like we will go there with quite a young side too and it will be interesting to see how far some of them have come and whether they respond to what we said to them after the AFC Portchester game a few weeks back.
"If we go there and fail to match their work-rate we will struggle."
Kiteley went on to add: "Lewis Morgan is now back from holiday and could be with us but Alex is out for a minimum of five weeks now with ankle-ligament damage, which is a major blow.
"Adam Taylor is also a doubt due to work commitments but I am hopeful Josh Tennant will be okay after recovering from a wrist problem.
"Like I said, it could be a really young side but at the end of the day that is what it is all about.
"It's not about results, it's about development and I am looking forward to seeing how some of the players get on."

Hacker Who Leaked Nude Scarlett Johansson Photos Gets 10 Years in Prison

Chris Chaney pleads guilty to hacking over 50 celebrities' smartphones for fun and profit
Between November 2010 and October 2011, there were a rash of hacking of high-profile celebrities smartphones. Starlets like Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Mila Kunis had sexually explicit or provocative pictures
stolen from their devices
and released onto the internet.
In Scarlett Johansson's case fully nude pictures, meant to be seen by then-husband Ryan Reynolds were exposed for the world to see. She recalls, "I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed."
But intrusions weren't the work of a team of savvy hackers; they were the twisted hobby-horse of a single man, according to federal prosecutors -- Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old Jacksonville, Fla. resident.
On Monday, justice
was served
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero
weighed a seemingly remorseful Mr. Chaney versus tearful celebrities like Ms. Johansson, who comments, "I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."
The federal judge gave the hacker a prison sentence of 10 years after pleading guilty of several criminal counts
under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
of 1986 (
) -- unauthorized access to a computer and illegal wiretapping. (In the U.S. only federal agents are allowed to wiretap people.)
Mr. Chaney could have faced a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison, but the sentence he did receive wasn't exactly lenient either. Prosecutors were only seeking a sentence of 6 years, but Judge Otero was concerned that Mr. Chaney hadn't truly changed his ways and needed longer away from the world of electronics. According to the Judge, prosecutors presented evidence that Mr. Chaney continued to pursue and harass women online after his arrest in October 2011.
In all, Mr. Chaney's "Operation Hackerazzi" breached the smartphones of 50 Hollywood and music industry celebrities. But he was also alleged of hacking into some close acquaintances phones, including send a nude picture of a former co-worker to her father.
Chris Chaney claims he sorry for all the hacking and denies accusations that he hacked into real-world acquaintances' devices. [Image Source: AP]
Mr. Chaney does not deny hacking the celebrity phones, but was apologetic. He, however, refused to admit to hacking his acquaintances phones, insisting he never did that. He comments, "I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I could be sentenced to never use a computer again and I wouldn't care."
The Judge is quoted as telling him, "It's hard to fathom the mindset of a person who would accomplish all of this. These types of crimes are as pernicious and serious as physical stalking."
Now he will spend a better part of the next decade of his life behind bars (although he could get out early if gets parole).

FRIENDS of a popular Manchester United stall holder have been paying tribute to the man they said had a heart of gold and was an 'encyclopaedia of United knowledge'.
Graham Oxley was killed in a car crash on Monday night in Runcorn as he was travelling to a friend's house to watch on TV his side take on Liverpool in the final of a friendly competition in Miami.
The 53-year-old, known as Ox, travelled all over the world following United but was best known as an Old Trafford 'grafter' selling scarves, badges and hats from the same spot outside the ground every home game.
Dave Caulfield, who had known Graham for more than 35 years, said: "He was a lovely fella and I couldn't believe it when I found out.
"He sold merchandise outside the ground all his life after he finished school and never missed a game home or away.
"United was his life and if you asked him about a game he could tell you the goal scorers and the time they scored.
"Once the funeral is arranged there's going to be a massive turn out with reds everywhere.
"He was a fantastic person and it's such sad news."
Graham, originally from Astley Close off Chester Road, also loved playing football and played in the Warrington Sunday District Football league when he was younger.
He had never married and had no children.
Tributes on our Facebook page called him a 'true gent'.
Dan Fisher added: "One of the bestest mates you could've have asked for. RIP Ox god bless" while Annie Bolton commented: "Have known him all my life, grew up with him, he was a kind considerate person, who will be very sadly missed by so many people."
Police are appealing for witnesses after Graham's Ford Focus was hit by a HGV near the roundabout with Blackheath Lane on the Daresbury Expressway just after 11pm on Monday night.
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting incident 1047 of August 4 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Following on from 10 charts (part 1), which included the first five challenges facing the next Italian government, here are the next five as we head towards Italy's general election.
1) Corruption
Corruption is a plight for the country that together with bureaucracy prevents an efficient allocation of resources and discourages investment. Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index ranked Italy 72nd out of 182 countries evaluated in 2012, three positions lower than the previous year. The perception of corruption of Italians is particularly high for the political system, which is one of the main reasons for the country's political instability and poor governability.

Topic: My dad's progress
My dad is completely jaundice for about 2 to 3 weeks now. He is very confused. He sleeps most of the time but tends to be more restless at night. He is still strong enough to get up to go to the bathroom. His nurse said he may have one to two months. The problem is it is just my sister and I as his caregivers. She works full time so I am here every day and I spent three nights here last week. My sister is having a hard time concentrating at work. After I did three nineteen hour shifts, I knew i wouldn't be able to function. So this week it will be 6 days and one over night. We are trying to make it one day at a time. We approached my dad twice about hiring a sitter for 3 nights a week and he got so mad! He has always been very old fashioned with his money and thinks it is a waste for a sitter to just be here. We told him as caregivers we need rest and time away. He REALLY didn't seem to care. It is just so sad he could spend his last few months miserable and mad at us. I have been with him everyday since he was diagnosed in May. I want to maintain my relationship with him and show him respect, but I am so upset at his reaction. We ended the conversation with the decision to have the Hospice social worker come talk with us all tomorrow.
I just needed to vent. Sometimes things are not pretty!
