RAV4, Vitara, ASX top sellers
Three midsize SUVs have established themselves as top Jamaican customer choices in the range of midsize SUVs
"The RAV4, the Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Mitsubishi ASX are the top-selling midsize SUVs. Some of these are all-wheel drive and, in most cases, are two-wheel drive," said ADA chairman, Kent LaCroix.
LaCroix also said that purchasing the vehicle in a two-wheel drive format is more economical. "These are lighter than the equivalent four-wheel drive. You do not have the drive shaft, which creates a bit more weight. This provides a better fuel economy," he stated.
Presenting a stylish, roomy and comfortable interior, the driver is able to get 28-34 miles per gallon out of a late-model midsize SUV. However, president of the Jamaica Gasolene Retailer's Association (JGRA), Leonard Green, would not tout that as an achievement.
"It's above average. There are vehicles such as the pickups where you can get 40 miles per gallon," Green said.
More sophisticated
Since its debut, with the RAV4 Toyota has attempted to bridge the gap between traditional off-roaders and regular passenger vehicles. With time and the evolution of technology the vehicle changed, becoming more sophisticated and rivalling even the larger, luxurious SUVs.
Assistant marketing manager at Toyota Jamaica, Tracey-Ann Fletcher, attributes the high demand for the RAV4 to its fuel economy and the state of the island's roads.
"It is a demand for our customers, who are trying to find vehicles that are more affordable now in the economy that we have. As such, they are moving away from larger SUVs to midsize. Based on the terrain we have here and the road conditions, customers want something that can basically manage that," she said.
The 2015 RAV 4, which comes in Barcelona metallic red, classic silver metallic, super white and black, among other colours, has a number of characteristics leading to its strong market position. According to Fletcher, these include price, durability, resale value and brand reputation.

Before those of you who support such programs cheer them on for their selflessness, you've got to understand how this system really works. The contracts in question won't go to just any minority contractor. In local politics, there are politically connected African-Americans and just plain African-Americans. For the most part, the second group shouldn't waste their time bidding on jobs. This isn't about them.
It's about companies that hire or are run by the right African-Americans, or those who are capable of turning out the black vote, or who are connected to those capable of turning out the black vote. The direct benefit goes to Democrats because they need African-American voters to win. It benefits most Republicans indirectly since it buys them some political protection from racial controversy, while at the same time putting fellow politicians in debt to them for their complicity in going along with the approval of contracts for the "right" folks.
Meanwhile, most members of the school board, who depend largely on the votes of minorities to keep them elected, spend much of their energy obsessing over the fact that school choice is leading to re-segregation of the schools, never mind that this self-segregation is largely created by parents who can now choose which schools their kids attend. What the parents of these children want is irrelevant and always has been. The majority of the school board bows to African-American leaders who grew up in the civil-rights era and see this as a return to the old days of legally enforced segregation.
Sure, the school system launches plenty of great "programs" for minority kids every year, but actually educating them still comes second to putting the right percentage of faces in the right schools so as to get oneself re-elected.
White conservatives, meanwhile, are now attempting to undermine the very system they fought for, or at least appeared to fight for. County Commissioner Bill James and school board member Larry Gauvreau knew darn well that school choice would require an obscene amount of busing -- former school superintendent Eric Smith told them so, in detail. Now they feign shocked outrage over the cost of busing these kids to the schools they said they wanted parents to be able to choose -- money that, let's face it, could be spent on more trailers outside the most popular suburban schools so more white kids can be crammed in and their constituents will be happy.
If all of that weren't enough, the same politicians who fell on their swords and paid to be legally branded as racists can't manage to get a well-known African-American county commissioner elected at-large in majority-white liberal precincts.
Perhaps the best measure of exactly where Charlotte-Mecklenburg is on race relations is the way the politically unconnected folks of Optimist Park have been treated over the last two years. The city talks a good game about empowering low-income neighborhoods, but it refused their request for a matching grant for patrols by private security guards when they begged city leaders for help because they were scared to go outside at night.
At the time, African-American city council member Patrick Cannon questioned whether the "financial resources were available" and what "precedent this would set." Nobody cared what precedent it would set when city leaders hired security guards to work the Government Center in the wake of Sept. 11.
Now the folks of Optimist Park want the city to stop an asphalt plant from being built in their neighborhood. Given the $7 million in contracts the city has with Ferebee Corp., the company that plans to build it, I have no doubt the city could stop that plant if it chose to lift a finger. In fact, if that plant were to go up in Myers Park, Dilworth or Elizabeth, that finger would become a fist.
If only King could see us now.

Hello everyone. My name is luke and I'm new to this board.
I have been experiencing all the common symptoms of BFS for only about 3 weeks, now. I saw my doctor over the matter, and he assured me that it probably wasn't anything serious. My own hypochondriatic research led me here. I hope you can help me...
I experience fasciculations all over my body, with concentrations in the thighs and triceps. Recently I discovered that I can make fasciculations occur regularly by flexing, then relaxing these muscles.
I flex a muscle for a few seconds, then relax it. About 5 seconds after flexing, the muscle will fasciculate for about 5-10 seconds, then stop.
Any other time, the fasciculations occur at random, and usually only fasciculate once. In other words, they only twitch once, and do not spasm for any length of time.
Is this normal?

Hello Everyone,
Here is the first chapter of Colette. It is, of course copy righted material :). And do feel free to download the free PDF of the first 5 chapters from the book samples page. Enjoy!
Paris, Summer 1938
Colette and her friend Anne rushed across the boulevard Saint-Germain. They had just finished their last exam and were finally corporate secretaries. Most young French women would give their left arms to be in their shoes. At eighteen years of age, Colette and Anne had jobs lined up and the world at their feet. After a short walk, they reached the terrace of the Café Saint Michel. They sat down at their favorite table, ordered the aromatic brew so typical of the country, and waited for the students of the Sorbonne to come out in swarms from the old building across the street. Soon the boulevard Saint Michel would be bursting with activity. The cafés' terraces would fill with young people eager to celebrate the onset of summer. There would be singing and maybe dancing. And there would definitely be flirting.
Colette was concentrating on watching a lanky, brown-haired boy holding a checkered flat hat in his hands hurriedly cross the street, when her view was obstructed by a very tall figure. The man in front of her must have been six feet four, at least. He looked very distinguished and not at all at ease in this environment. As a matter of fact, he looked kind of lost. His blond hair was shimmering in the sun, and his angular jaw made him look very masculine. Colette could not quite make out the color of his eyes but decided they must be blue. "What did this man want?" she wondered. At that very moment, he approached her, and in a very approximate French attempted to ask for directions to the Boulinier bookstore, after he introduced himself as Adam Walker. Colette was charmed to hear such an accent and figured that he must be a tourist from the United States of America. Since she was at the top of her class in English, she thought she would help him in his own language and spare him the indignity of having to stumble through the conversation in French. And instead of explaining to him that he only had to walk toward the boulevard Saint-Germain and stop about three blocks before he reached the Seine River, she opted to take him there herself.
As they walked along the boulevard Saint Michel, Adam could not help but notice that Colette was a very attractive young woman with the most eye-catching attributes. Indeed, not only was she beautiful, with her petite frame, long brown hair, blue eyes, and heart-shaped face, but she also spoke his language. And how refreshing was that? He had not uttered a word of English since he had arrived a few days earlier. This assignment was supposed to be easy; find the book his old colleague needed for his research, purchase the item, and travel back to the University of California at Berkeley, where he could go back to his own teaching. This was really supposed to be a vacation, a few weeks in France, where he could enjoy the women and the wine before going back to a quiet life in sunny California. Instead, he had gotten headache after headache as he realized that his high school French was far from being fluent. Now he knew. His teachers had lied to him. And he smiled to himself.
But this was only his cover. Tonight, he would have to meet with his informant. As a member of the United States intelligence community, Adam had been sent to France to gather information in order to prepare for the possibility of war. The rise to power of Adolph Hitler and the general tension in Europe appeared to be indicating an impending conflict. The United States would want to stay away, but it still needed to evaluate the scope of the problem and the impact on their barely recovering economy. Of course, Adam had to blend in with the French as much as he could during his stay.
But he was not off to a good start. As he was about to cross the street, Colette pulled him back as hard as she could and almost made him lose his balance. He was about to ask her for an explanation when he saw a white Delahaye cabriolet zoom by right where he would have stood, had Colette not interfered with his plan. This sweet little woman had effectively saved his life.
And before he could say a single word, she smiled at him and said, "This is Paris, sir, and French men are mad men on the road. You really need to pay attention if you want to stay alive."
Colette had no idea how right she was. If Adam wanted to stay alive, in his line of work, he needed to be on his toes at all times. There would be no more daydreaming about this woman or anyone else for that matter. He had to stay focused.
Once they reached the bookstore, Colette was entrusted with the title of the book Adam was hunting for, so she could ask the store owner as to its whereabouts. After she learned where the book was located, they walked through the aisles, smelling and looking at all the beautifully decorated masterpieces that lay in front of them. But within minutes, Adam had purchased the old volume he was seeking and was walking out with Colette. He liked her. She was his damsel in shining armor. He liked her so much that he was going to ask her to be his guide for the remainder of his trip. It was a crazy idea, really, not one that would be conducive to much spying. But first he would ask her out to lunch the next day to thank her for all her help.
All too soon, they arrived back at Anne's table. The faithful friend had been holding down the fort by herself and making sure seats were still available for Colette and her potential guest.
The wind had picked up a little, so Colette held her lightly flowing skirt close to her body as she sat down on the chair next to her friend. And when asked if he would sit with them for a while, Adam was more than happy to oblige. He did not want to be left to his own devices so early in the evening. After all, his meeting was not until ten o'clock that night. The sun was still shining, and the air was still warm and breezy as only the best of days can be in Paris. Colette ordered lemonade for herself and a glass of red wine for Adam. Once Adam shared his plans with his young new friend and made his offer, she accepted the job of being his tour guide; after all, she had a few weeks' vacation before her new career would get under way. She would take full advantage of that time and gladly play tourist with the tall, handsome American. She had been right. His eyes were indeed blue, the deepest, most beautiful blue she had ever seen.
As Adam was walking back to his hotel on rue de Rivoli, he realized that as smitten as he was by Colette he knew very little about her. How old was she? How many brothers and sisters did she have? Were her parents still alive? Why had she chosen to become a secretary instead of going for a university degree? Did she want to move to the States? Now, where did that last question come from? He had just met the girl for heaven's sake, and she had just become part of his cover. Anyhow, tomorrow, when she picked him up, he would have to ask most of them. He wanted and needed to know everything about her. And in spite of the wonderfully mellowing wine he had ingested in her presence, he knew that tonight, he would not find sleep easily.
He finally reached the corner of the rue de Rivoli and rue du Louvre. He was to meet a young Frenchman named Richard, and would acquire the file he needed to do a thorough analysis, which he would then present to Franklin D. Roosevelt in person within the next couple of months. This file represented essential intelligence gathered from many European countries over the last six months. He had been told that his contact was fluent in at least five languages and that he was able to pass as a citizen of at least as many countries. Once the exchange was made, Adam headed back to his hotel.
Soon enough he reached his destination, He asked for the key to his room and went straight up so the clerk would not start a pointless conversation. He had had enough French for one day and only wanted to go to his room so he could look at his newly acquired file.
To try to calm down, he opted to take a bath. But through the soap suds, all he could see was Colette and her warm, gentle smile. He would count the seconds until he could see her again. And instead of counting sheep, he did just that. It was obviously not a very effective sleep aid, and Adam saw the sunrise before he was able to close his eyes.
Colette was walking on air. She would see Adam tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that, and for the next three weeks. She had taken the metro to the twentieth arrondissement, where her parents lived with her maternal grandparents. She was grinning from ear to ear as she walked in the door of their apartment. She kissed them all to say hello and waltzed to her room. Her little brother, fourteen-year-old Pierre, looked shocked. What had gotten into Colette? She had never acted so dim-witted before. Her twelve-year-old sister, Josette, had a similar expression on her face. And without even consulting each other, both youngsters ran after her. They always wanted to know everything about their older sister's life, and Colette obliged them by regaling them with stories of the day's escapades. But today was special. She wanted to keep this adventure to herself. She felt as if sharing it would make it disappear. So she talked about her exams, her graduation, and her upcoming job. She discussed the singing and the laughing that went on in the cafés and the frenzy with which all the students wanted to celebrate, but she did not utter a word about her striking and oh-so-temporary new boss.
Once she was done with her daily show-and-tell, she put on her cotton nightgown and went straight to bed. She wanted to get her beauty sleep before she met Adam the next day. She fully intended on making him notice her. She wanted her first kiss to be with this man she had just met. She just knew it was going to be special. And unlike the man of her dreams, she fell asleep within seconds.

Celebrate Spring at Fairchild Botanical Gardens
09 Mar 2017
The 20th of March marks the beginning of our favorite season: Spring. For the majority of people, it evokes feelings of warmth and images of flowers in bloom and abundant colors. To welcome the new season, many countries around the world celebrate with festivals or by creating magnificent floral displays for all to enjoy.
In India and parts of Nepal, people celebrate Holi, a festival that is also known as the "festival of colors". People from all walks of life take to the streets dressed in all-white attire and engage in friendly "fights" where people throw water and different colored powders at each other.
Holland, known around the world for its tulips, doesn't disappoint. Starting in March, Keukenhof, the famous flower park, opens for approximately 2 months. During these precious months, the park displays its chosen theme for the year using millions of tulips—more than 7 million specifically in hundreds of varieties.
Not all festivals dedicated to spring happen outside America. A popular festival that has gathered more momentum through the years is the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at Disney World. The event is celebrated with the dozens of topiaries cut into Disney characters and placed throughout the park next to endless blooming flower beds. Concerts, organic food stalls, and special events, such as discussions with Disney Horticulturists, are all taking place during these next couple of months.
If you're in the Miami area this weekend, you can take in all the colors and beauty of spring at Fairchild Botanical Garden's annual Orchid Show. Although the event is mostly centered around our favorite flower, the orchid, you can be sure to find different types of flowers and plants at numerous booths. The variety of plants and flowers on display at the Garden are over 3,000 and there's always something in bloom*. And, in true festival fashion, there are abundant food options, ranging from food trucks to stalls with everything from burgers to crepes. The 83-acre park is large enough to cover before (or after) you make your way to the area with the booths. For those who have never visited the Garden, this is the perfect time to do so. Hope to see you there!
*All of us at Emilio Robba love the simple elegance of Sobralia Sessilis found in plots 24 & 25

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server had many classified documents, some of which are still so sensitive they can't be released to the public — but some of them can be.
One classified email that was sent to Clinton's private server essentially proved that the Obama administration was actually supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), the terrorist organization that later became the Islamic State group.
The memo, which was sent in August of 2012, outlined the security situation in Syria and documented the various organizations and terror groups involved in the struggle to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
Advertisement - story continues below
"The document is an IAR, an intelligence information report," Christopher J. Farrell, a member of the board of directors of Judicial Watch, told Breitbart. "It is produced by somebody within the Defense Intelligence Agency. It is reporting from the field by an intelligence agent."
The lines in question in the document appeared at the beginning of the memo.
TRENDING: Geraldo on Fire: Publicly Smashes Omarosa for Outrageous Claims of Trump Racism
"The Salafist, The Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria," stated the document.
"The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China and Iran support the regime," was the next line down.
Advertisement - story continues below
From the wording of the document, it seemed clear that the United States was supporting the Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood and AQI as they were just listed above as the "insurgency" in Syria, although there may have been other groups intended but not mentioned specifically.
Again, the U.S.-supported AQI later developed into what is now commonly called the Islamic State group.
The report also predicted the rise of an "Islamic State," which was completely ignored by Obama and his team. They were warned well in advance that the Islamic State terror group would rise, and they chose to do nothing.

Republican candidates Jeb Bush and Ohio Governor John Kasich just submitted signatures to qualify for Virginia's March 1 primary. Submitting the required signatures is a notable achievement since Virginia's ballot requirements are among the more stringent in the country.
In even this test of raw political organization, however, the two were bested by current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. Trump submitted his signatures on November 2, the first candidate in either party to try to qualify for the ballot.
Virginia is one of the toughest states to qualify for the ballot. In 2012, just two Republican candidates, Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul, were able to get on the ballot, despite the fact that several others were still contenders for the nomination. The Commonwealth requires a candidate to submit 5,000 signatures, but they must also be geographically dispersed. A candidate needs at least 200 signatures from each of the state's 11 congressional districts.
Former Attorney General Jerry Kilgore joined former Lt. Governor John Hager in submitting Jeb Bush's signatures Wednesday in Richmond, the state capital. Bush submitted 10,000 signatures, twice the number legally required.
"Jeb submitted over twice the required signatures needed to appear on Virginia's ballot, weeks in advance of the December deadline," Kilgore said. "This is an impressive feat and is possible because Jeb has a strong grassroots network of Virginia volunteers, which will be essential to winning the primary here in the commonwealth on March 1."
Donald Trump submitted 15,000 signatures, three times the number required. One wonders what Kilgore would make of Trump's grassroots network in Virginia.
Trump's steps to qualify for the ballot in Virginia suggest he has a robust political operation on the ground. Many political insiders continue to dismiss Trump's candidacy on the assumption that it is built on his larger-than-life personality alone. They discount whether he has the experience or temperament to build the kind of political organization necessary to contest the primary state-by-state. It is one thing to pack an arena, they argue, but quite another to build a campaign infrastructure.
Being the first candidate to navigate Virginia's strict requirements, though, seems to indicate that Trump is building just such an organization. It is a concrete sign that Trump's candidacy isn't going away anytime soon.
It is also telling that Bush was the third candidate to submit the necessary signatures. The Bush campaign has defended its high-rate of spending by claiming it was building a large, national political organization. The campaign's broad experience and organizational abilities would reap dividends when the voting began.
In Virginia, at least, Trump bested Bush's organization by more than two weeks and 5,000 signatures.
Trump greatly surpassed Bush, turning in over 15,000 signatures while Bush submitted 10,000.

Robo advisors and fintech startups will see much growth in the next five years, but researchers say established players will keep their AUM edge and become more digitally competitive too.
Robo startups are expected to reach $452 billion in AUM in five years, but incumbent firms will possess over $1 trillion in AUM in the digital automated advice space, according to Steffen Binder, managing director and co-founder of MyPrivateBanking Research, a finance research firm based in Switzerland.
Currently, the market for robo advisors is worth $20 billion AUM with over 200 players in America alone, Binder said. That dollar figure represents .01% of overall managed assets worldwide, he added.
Binder expects most traditional firms will have digital automated advice offerings in the next two years and give them a further advantage.
"The established firms will beat the new robo startups in the next five years," Binder told the audience at SourceMedia's InVest 2015 conference on digital disruption in wealth management on Friday in New York.
However, Binder raised the specter of market competition widening in the near future with the entry of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Alibaba, who all are interested in the advisory space, he said.
"They are taking steps and analyzing this market. It will be a different game when they enter. They can very disruptive to other players," said Binder.
Consulting firm A.T. Kearney offered its own predictions about robo advisor growth. It projected robo advisor overall AUM to increase 68% annually to about $2.2 trillion in five years. Roughly half that amount would come from money that's already invested and the rest from non-invested assets, the firm said.
The firm surveyed over 4,000 American consumers, and just over half expressed an interest in using a robo advisor.
The survey results suggest that some traditional bank and investment products could be vulnerable to robo advisors, such as money market accounts, said Bob Hedges, a partner in the financial-institutions practice at A.T. Kearney.
"In the near future, the price pressure of robo advisors on traditional financial advisor model is going to be significant," Hedges said.
Among robo startups, Wealthfront is ranked as the most disruptive due to its large AUM, cost advantage, ease of use, and mobile capability, Binder said.
But it's not immune to competition because of ease of entry into the market as seen by the splash made by Charles Schwab and Vanguard, he added. "There is not a big moat around robo advisors," he said.
While projections point to the domination of the market by established firms, it still remains to be seen, said audience member, Penny Duan, head of partnerships at Decimal, a cloud computing company that caters to financial services sector.
"I think at the end of the day, it is consumers who will drive innovation," she said. Even if you have a great footprint, but if user experience is lousy, nobody will use it."

At this time last year, just two of the eventual nine Best Picture nominees hadn't screened ("American Hustlle," "The Wolf of Wall Street"). This year, our 24 Experts have yet to see a slew of contenders including "American Sniper," "Big Eyes," "Into the Woods," "Selma" and "Unbroken."
"Boyhood" remains in the lead for Best Picture with our Oscarologists, as it has all awards season long. Our two dozen experts are predicting it to win five Academy Awards in all, including Best Director (Richard Linklater), Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette), Original Screenplay and Editing.
"Interstellar" is expected to take home four Oscars: Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects.
"Birdman" will claim two Academy Awards — Best Actor (Michael Keaton), Cinematography — as will "Into the Woods" (Costume Design, Makeup & Hairstyling).
"Still Alice" is predicted to win Best Actress for four-time Oscar bridesmaid Julianne Moore while "Whiplash" should net an Oscar for Supporting Actor J.K. Simmons.
"Unbroken" is forecast to win Adapted Screenplay and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" will claim Production Design.
"Boyhood" (odds of 9/2) remains out front with the backing of half of our 24 pundits: Matt Atchity (Rotten Tomatoes), Scott Feinberg (Hollywood Reporter), Michael Musto (Out.com), Kevin Polowy (Yahoo), Steve Pond (The Wrap), Keith Simanton (IMDB), Nicole Sperling (Entertainment Weekly), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), Anne Thompson (Thompson on Hollywood/ Indiewire), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone), Glenn Whipp (L.A. Times), Susan Wloszczyna (RogerEbert.com).
"Unbroken" (odds of 6/1) is in second place with seven Oscarologists picking it to prevail: Edward Douglas (Comingsoon), Thom Geier (Entertainment Weekly), Dave Karger (Fandango), Tariq Khan (Fox News), Scott Mantz (Access Hollywood), and Tom O'Neil and Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby).
"The Imitation Game" (odds of 15/2) has three boosters: Thelma Adams (Thelmadams.com), Jenelle Riley (Variety) and Christopher Rosen (Huffington Post) while "Birdman" has the support of one expert (Jeff Wells (Hollywood-Elsewhere) and odds of 15/2 as well. And "Gone Girl" gets the vote of Michael Hogan (Vanity Fair) and odds of 14/1.

David is getting his 7th tooth. Unlike all the others, this one was through the gums before I even realized it was close. He had been drooling a lot off and on, but he hadn't been as cranky as he had been before all the others broke through. He has been more cranky since it's broken through. I don't know, perhaps the one on the other side is trying to push through, too.
Tuesday night we went out to dinner with Geoff's mom. She spent the night with us before flying out to Oklahoma to be with Geoff's sister, who is about to have her 3rd baby. Anyway, while we were eating dessert David decided he was going to try to help himself to another piece of cookie and stood up in the high chair. I know, it was dangerous, he could have fallen, but Geoff was right there and I just had to snap a quick picture. You can see that he has his eye on that cookie.
Then yesterday he decided to climb on top of the ottoman. It has now been moved to another room.

Qmobile E760 unboxing and video review
Qmobile E760 Video Review By PhoneGuruReviews from usman ahmed on Vimeo.
Hey today we are reviewing a very economical yet stylish phone; the Qmobile E760 it sells at around Rs.5,000, It's not a smartphone but a regular java based phone
As you will see from the video review it has quite a sleek and slim outlook, it's light yet durable has a metal back so you know it's going to last and the keys are sturdy and easy to press. It's a dual sim phone it boasts a 2.8 inch TFT LCD Screen. Unfortunately as is with such phones it comes in a single color black only. Unlike some regular phones the middle button is usable and is used to select an item from the menu, the central button is surrounded by a four-way key.
Dual Menu's
You can access the main menu as well as have the option of adding short cuts to the main interface allowing for ease of access to critical and important apps such as calling, alarm, calendar, phonebook, messaging etc.
Like java based phones it gives support for Twitter, facebook ,msn, yahoo messenger, opera mini browser, it has an ebook reader as well.
It has 1.3mp camera, it has video recording option, but the biggest drawback being marketed in the Pakistani market is that it does not have a torch/flash…so you're going to have issues during load-shedding.
It has 3.5mm jack that means you can plug in regular earphone in to it as well or maybe hook it up to your high end sound system in the car or hi-fi system at home if it has the option of audio in.
The 1280mAH battery provides for great battery timing.

28 February
Sidney Crosby, the poster boy of Canadian ice hockey, has this evening scored the overtime goal against the USA to win his nation the gold medal match at the Vancouver Olympics. The 22-year-old captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins is already a national hero and will this evening take on a God-like status in Vancouver, or so hockey fans will make it seem.
Canada's victory – the one they would have swapped an awful lot for at the start of the Games – gave the host nation their 14th gold medal of the Olympics. No host, indeed no nation, has ever won as many as 14 golds in one Games. Already some commentators in Canada are calling today the greatest day in Canada's sporting history.
A New York Times live hockey blog was running here during the match.
UPDATE ON 1 MARCH, midday UK time, early hours Vancouver Canada time.
A later report in the NY Daily News is here, while this short blog by that piece's author, Filip Bondy, about leaving the Games, amused us.
The magnitude of this story in Canadian-US sports rivalry is merely hinted at by the 10,315 articles in the past 12 hours alone on Crosby's role.

EVERTON appear to be anaesthetising their fans against the inevitable this weekend.
Clearly disputing the assertion that they couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery, Everton will offer all fans who turn up to the visit of last season's unbeaten champions free beer.
That's right. As part of the sponsorship deal with Chang, you buy a big can inside the ground (660ml), and get a small one (330ml) free.
It is a sign of the gloom over Goodison, though, that by Thursday lunchtime only 32,000 tickets had been sold - that's 8,000 sceptical souls who could not be persuaded to abandon their armchairs.
Not even the prospect of free ale could convince some Evertonians to attend the footballing equivalent of peeling the skin from your fingertips, then rubbing them in rock salt.
At least there are cushions to hold up in front of your face in the front room.
Those tickets may have gone by kickoff on Sunday, but even a full house is unlikely to generate an air of optimism.
You can gauge the mood of your average Evertonian by the number of calls fielded at Old Hall Street.
The sportsdesk this week gave a good impression of The Samaritans.
Evertonians are worried. And with justification.
The squad is thin, ageing and sorely lacking in pace - especially at the back - and there is no money to rectify that situation. The boardroom bickering is merely prolonging that problem rather than solving it.
And the one truly world-class talent the supporters can turn to is injured - and may not want to stay, anyway.
Even the fixture fates have conspired against the Blues.
The last time I can recall Everton going into a season with the 'R' word being bandied about so freely was 1993-4. But, back then, they kicked off with three very winnable games.
They did win all three - against Southampton, Manchester City and Sheffield United - and even though they still only survived on the last day of the season, a relegation scrap never looked like materialising until Howard Kendall quit over boardroom bickering.
Sound familiar?
The fixture computer could not have generated a tougher start this time.
And no amount of beer will drown their sorrows if Everton have not prised four points away from Crystal Palace and West Brom by the end of August.
With a fully-fit squad to select from, Everton are still better than the three promoted sides - witness the FA Cup humbling of champions Norwich City last January.
But how often can any team enjoy an injury-free run?
Everton will need their famed fans' loyalty more than ever this season.
Everything points to a bumpy, hair-raising, sometimes sickening, occasionally exciting roller-coaster ride of a season.
Strap yourself in . . .

This program familiarizes students with the technical and demanding pondering abilities needed to check, architect, develop, and take a look at simulation and visualization methods. Last year students of Visible Merchandising in the DIT School of Artistic Arts are challenged to develop a design for set up in a retail or merchandising setting as part of their last assessment. The design is developed along with the student's own work placement employer and is a significant part of their diploma award.
In 1937, the American sociologist Learn Bain wrote that "technology consists of all tools, machines, utensils, weapons, devices, housing, clothes, speaking and transporting gadgets and the abilities by which we produce and use them." 6 Bain's definition remains widespread amongst scholars as we speak, especially social scientists. Scientists and engineers normally favor to outline technology as applied science , quite than because the things that people make and use. 7 More not too long ago, scholars have borrowed from European philosophers of "method" to extend the that means of technology to various forms of instrumental motive, as in Foucault 's work on applied sciences of the self (strategies de soi).

In February 2008, Government of Indonesia granted a forest conccension for company supported by Burung Indonesia and Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), an UK based organization. This is a first award of ecosystem restoration. Formerly, a part of forest was managed for timber extraction, but abondaned for years.
What's make the forest interesting?

- Harapan forest employs about 100 rangers to patrol along forest area
- Harapan forest located in Jambi, a province in Sumatra, an inland where palm oil plantation keeps expanding.
- It took 4 years before special conccension granted since initiated by Burung Indonesia
- Bird is one of environmental indicators to measure environment quality. There are about 287 birds' species found in Harapan forest.
- Restoring birds' habitats is meaning allowing other species to be protected too. There are threatened species such as Sumatran tiger, Asian elephant, Malayan tapir, clouded leopard and sun bear found in Harapan forest.

Tips To Better Insulate Your House
Installing a solar water heater, photo voltaic electric panels and a geothermal HVAC system would certainly green any home and make it more energy efficient. Unfortunately, the high price tags keep these items out of reach for many property owners. There are ways to improve comfort and lower your energy bills without such a high expense with by augmenting the insulation in your home.
Insulation within your house acts to buffer your house from outside temperatures and is measured in R values. The higher the R value the higher the insulation level. Improving insulation levels in your home will save on the costs to both heat and cool your house. Adding insulation to the walls would be ideal, but a difficult task to undertake as you would need to open up the walls and then close up the walls. This would prove quite costly and disruptive to day to day living. In instances with rather old homes that have no insulation, sometimes it is possible to use blown in insulation from the the exterior of the home.
Types of Insulation
- Roll – generally used in floors or ceilings; made of fiberglass
- Batt – similar to roll insulation
- Loose Cellulose – generally used in attic spaces
- Foam – Sprayed on either walls or ceilings, offers air sealing as well as insulating properties
Areas to Add Insulation
There are two areas of the home that offer access in order to add insulation. These are the attic space and in many homes the crawlspace. Homes with basements typically have access to the underside of the first floor as well. Installing additional insulation in these two areas will help to boost your homes energy efficiency. Starting with the attic as this is generally the low hanging fruit, be sure to seal any gaps before adding insulation. Insulating the floor can be a bit harder to do but is something to consider tackling after the attic space is properly insulated. This chart from Energy Star will help you determine how much insulation to add to ceilings, floors and walls.

an 18-135mm could be a good compromise between taking the longer lens...it's a lens included in kits so it can usually be found relatively cheap...you could swap it with your 18-55mm
... and... neither qualifies as wide angle on a crop camera. I use an UWA 11-20mm lens on 80D. It is woefully inadequate when I want/need UWA. The best you can do is the Sigma 8-16, and it will be too long from time to time.
