Don't know if I can make it Friday because I have to be in Stanwood at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening. If I can get down, it would be in the early afternooon.
Spiking a Nor-vise would probably entail a penalty being imposed by the referees at Avid Angler, possibly by Norm himself. And what's a hook imbedded in one's anatomy anyway? If a person has not impaled himself on a hook when tying, he is not worthy of the title fly tyer.
that's one hell of an imagination you got there
|John Desjardins
|Salmn8r, thats quite an image you paint there. Tears came to my eyes from laughing.
|Don Johnson
Well, I'm there from Friday at noon until Saturday evening...maybe you can show Friday night for a bit if you get a chance. Scott will be there from about 6:30 or so.
To be honest, I'm kind of relieved. I had a vision of you swaggerin' in with a Magnum finisher on one hip, a Standard on the other and two full bandoliers of S&M bobbins draped across you like Pancho Villa. You could hear a sz 28 emerger fart as the dust settled then, in a wicked display of ambidextrous speed, you simultaneously double whip a Fore and Aft before I can say "Go!". Really embarassing after all the hype.
The other vision I had was you dislocating your pinkie finger trying to go too fast then impaling your forehead on the hook as you winced in agony...all while the ABC "Wide World of Sports" theme resonates "...and the Agony of Defeat..." in the background. As we call 911 to come cart you to the ER I spiked my Nor-Vise in the corner and high-fived my water boy, not that I would ever try to rub it in or anything.
Either way, it would have been ugly.
Take care!
Don Johnson
I love that wicked sense of humor you have, it is very refreshing.
Be assured there was no offense taken.
I had originally planned on getting down to Avid Angler this Saturday since I haven't had the chance to see and visit with Alec for the last year. I also wanted to meet Stu and Scotty so I could put a face to the names, and it would be an honor to also meet you. Unfortunately, my wife informed me last week that we have another commitment for the Saturday that starts at 9:00 a,m, and ends at 4:00 p.m. so it looks like I'm not going to be able to get down (domestic tranquility is important).
Don't you just hate it when there is more than one thing going on that you want to do?
|Don Johnson
ooooh, I smell a challenge
To begin, I fully realize material and tools usage is highly subjective and so please don't take my questions/comments as a personal jab. They are not intended as such.
I'm not worried about using a whip finisher anywhere, but if you sell those on eBay you might be able to get those extra S&M bobbins you wanted.
I must admit the speed concept still baffles me; maybe I'm dillusional. I say we meet Saturday (11/22/03) at the Caddis for Kids event held at the Avid Angler, High Noon for a Whip-Finish shoot out (insert the famous whistling from the Clint Eastwood movie). If you really think you can pick up a tool, whip and clip faster than someone operating sans tool then I say "Bring It On". I'd say "mano-y-mano" but you will be cheating.
Anyway, I win, you donate 5 bucks to the charity. You win, you can have a Miracle Caddis Pack AND I'll take my first whip finisher lesson from you.
Your advantage: I will have been tying for 24 hours and will be seeing 4 or 5 of everything so even tying my shoes will be tough.
My advantage: I will have done at least 500 hand whip-finishes by then and should be warmed up...I hope!
Looking forward to the opportunity to at least put a face and a handshake to the username!
Take care,
Don Johnson
|Hmmm, my point was that a hackle that's a smidge too long won't matter for this particular attractor pattern.
To all of you who worry about not being able to use a whip finish tool to tie a whip finish at the bend end of a large, or extra-long shank hook, Materelli has both a standard length and an extended reach whip finisher. I own both.
I also feel a need to say that before I began usijng the Materelli whip finisher about 22 years ago, I tied whip finishes with my hand. The Materelli is far faster, and I never need to worry about the thread getting caught on a piece of skin, a cut from a hook point, or a callous.
tell that to a pro bass fisherman and he or she will laugh in your face
I think it depends on the conditions
I typically have a mug of green tea or a cold beer on hand, the clock radio on to NPR (which works out well since I typically tie in the evenings and that's when they have their jazz shows playing). Otherwise, since I've only been tying a few years, I don't have any set ways; I just do whatever is required of the pattern to get "something fishy".
I'll have to try one of those whip finishers you guys are talking about; I must admit, the one part of my tying that needs the practice is using a whip-finishing tool. I'll have a look at Hunter's and see what's cooking. I finish my flies with (gasp) a few overhand knots... and they look fine and are very durable. Still, I'd still like to learn to whip finish.
John - I had to do a double take on that fly. At first, I thought the tail was olive-dyed deer hair... that would be an interesting pattern. Oh, and frankly I don't think that the fish really care if the hackle is a bit too long; bass, for instance, aren't noted for being picky about such things.
|Don Johnson
idiosyncracy question
Why go through all the trouble to have everything optimized for maximum efficiency only to have to pick up a tool to tie a simple knot?
The best whip finisher is at the end of your arm. You don't need to pick it up because it's right there (or left there depending on your perrogative). It was free. If you lose it, you have other problems to worry about besides finishing the head of a fly. Accuracy, as it pertains to finishing the head of a fly, is moreso a trait of the user not the tool, in my opinion. The hand whip-finish is vastly more versatile than any tool on the market. As an example I offer the scenario of performing a whip finish at the end of a Carrie Stevens streamer hook, or any long-shank hook for that matter, or over a bullethead with rubber hackle hanging out or, well, you get the point. The hand whip-finish is also faster, hands down, no pun intended.
For me, about the only advantages I see a tool having over my fingers is that it doesn't have callouses or anything else that frays thread. Given a few more years and the potential dwindling nimbleness of the digits, I might have to get a tool to combat arthritis. We'll see. Maybe by then they'll have one with batteries so it'll be faster than my manual thread manipulation.

A.K.A as personal oddity!
When I started tying many many moons ago, we were of modest means so my Dad (and I learned this form him, among many other things) would be extremely frugal.
I mean close to being cheap, one thing that has stuck with me over the yeras is working real hard at maximizizing every inch or pinch or dubb of material and creating the tools that we could not afford. I still "make" a lot of my tying material(s) no longer to be so frugal but just for the fun of it.
Being an avid hunter as well as FFsher, I have an extensive collection of deer, moose, elk and caribou hair, of various lengths, coarseness, and color! More than I'll ever be able to use in 999 lifetimes, But what the heck, it's an obsession right? Or oddity!
|Dble Haul
I have to agree with flytyer here....the Matarelli finisher is far faster than doubling over a piece of 4X.
My idiosyncracies? If I'm not fishing, then I'm tying. And if I'm not tying, then I'm fishing. And if I'm not doing either one, chances are that I'm thinking about them.
I suppose that my one habit for years was that I couldn't wrap my mind around the concept of "less is more", especially when it came to thread wraps. For some time my ties were too bulky, but I thought that I'd be compromising durability if I reduced the thread wraps. Then I eventually put some faith in the advice of others, turned a corner, and began to make flies with the right proportions without compromising durablity. Eureka!
My other habits include having a ball game of some sort on the tube (but not to the point of distraction), occasionally having a cold beer (but not to the point of sloppy tying), and putting things back so I can find them later (but not to the point of being immaculate).
I respectfully disagree on the use of a whip finisher being slower than using the loop method, or the hand/finger method of tying a whip finish. The Materelli style whip finisher will tie the whip finish faster and place it more accurately than either the loop or hand methods. All it takes is a little practice.
I will grant you that the vast majority of whip finishers on the market, which are copies of the Thompson whip finisher, are slow and clumsy compared to the loop method or hand/finger methods. The Materelli style whip finishers are in a different category altogether than the Thompson style ones and allow you to produce the whip finish very quickly and accurately.

It was interesting to read the OSDN/BCG survey of open source developers, suggesting that most are professionals spending about a day per week on one particular project. Also interesting comparing that with our own experience, in which we do have a number of developers from the open source community but certainly not fitting the profile suggested by OSDN and BCG.
But on closer examination it's not that surprising. The population sampled was those who are named developers on various Sourceforge projects. And usually these people are the people whose baby it was in the first place. So it's very likely that these people will spend an hour a week on the project... and surprising they don't spend longer. If they surveyed us they'd find a bunch of full time developers working 40+ hours/week.
In my experience those who come to a project later spend much less time on it. Not too surprising. We have a handful of contributors who spend maybe 4hrs/week coding various segment. More significant projects therefore are unlikely to get off the ground. Our Storix project is a lot fo work for one person, even though the idea of it ahs generated much interest. So I've created much smaller projects (sometimes well-defined bugfixing or feature enhancements) such as the Swing front end to launcher, our command line management tool. This is a postive benefit, but also a very well-defined and medium-sized task.
I note that Miguel de Icaza says Evolution had 17 developers at its peak. So Jtrix, with its full time staff plus sundry others isn't doing too bad compared to a high profile, easily-understood, less ambitious project like that.

By Rheta Grimsley Johnson
FISHTRAP HOLLOW – My resolution for the new year is to make a little money. I don't need a whole lot, simply enough to pay for dog food and maybe a little extra for me to enjoy Mexican lunches with my friend Jean.
So I've been working in fits and starts on a book about dogs. Once you've written a book about Hank Williams and lost money, your remaining options are vampires, steamy romance or dogs. I choose dogs. I figure they owe me.
I ordered "The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs" for my husband's Christmas gift, which killed two birds. He got a nice, thick red book, and I got to read all the best dog stories. Writers like James Thurber and E.B. White and Ogden Nash and A.J. Liebling all have written about dogs and prove it can be done, if well, again and again.
Believe it or not, the genre wasn't invented by John Grogan, the "Me" in "Marley and Me," though he did an excellent job and had a lot of us other newspaper hacks who owned yellow Labs slapping our foreheads and saying, "I could have written that!"
Yes, and why didn't you?
I might take a chronological approach – dogs I have owned – but then again I might not. My memories of my first blond puppy Maxie are a bit hazy and involve family debates over where the pet should sleep.
The Maxie story ended badly, and in the elements.
No, I think it best to skip Monster and Buster and Humphrey and start midstream with Barney, a big black mutt who was rescued by my sister from an interstate median near Nashville.
She, quite naturally, left the bundle of joy with me. His nickname was Wing-Nut because that's what his ears put you in mind of after he reached maturity. Barney was gentle, but a fearsome-looking dog.
One year, five sheriff candidates came to the house seeking my vote. Barney greeted each man in his turn. Only one had the guts to get out of his car. He got my vote.
Besides winnowing political candidates, Barney sang in a canine choir with two other rescued pups, Pogo and Albert.
If I threw back my head and hit a High C, all three dogs would join in the chorus, Barney providing bass. Somewhere in this borderline hoarder's house is an old videocassette of such a performance.
Barney is buried on a hill behind my house, beneath a rock that says "Best Dog." At that point, the day he was buried, it was true.
Since then there's been Pete, another Maxie, a temporary boarder named Sam, Boozoo, Hank, Hannah and, of course, Mabel, my own yellow Lab. She was the kind of dog the other dogs get sick of hearing about. Pretty. Pretty loyal. A vocabulary of at least 200 words.
We'd sit side by side on the porch sofa in the summertime, like Hee Haw's Culhanes, waiting for a car to pass. Mabel would perk up at the sound, her ears at alert, long limbs at the ready. "Finally," she seemed to be thinking. "Someone is coming to add some life to this dead zone."
Mabel was too good to be good book fodder. She didn't even smell bad when wet. Even in death she was considerate.
On a wild ride to get her to the Mississippi State veterinary school before her heart stopped, she gave it up a few miles shy of our destination. If she couldn't make me money, she'd save me some.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Earle Fletcher
I just checked (2) 2005 fly fishing catalogues found that Maxima is available in Chameleon, Clear and Ultra Green from 1# to 40 # test. For the first time they are making fluaorocarbon leader material from 2# to 40# test. I had some breakage problems with the second generation Mirage this past season. The first instance was with a 125# +/- tarpon on 20# Mirage. I noticed when I was tying up my salmon leaders, I was getting a lot of breakage when snugging up the blood and double surgeon knots in the small tippet sections. I didn't loose any salmon because of leader breakage, but I didn't use anything less than 12.5# test. I'm going to try the new Maxima fluorocarbon for this year's salmon fishing and stick with the old standby Mason for the tarpon leaders.
|Gary W
I often use the Maxima Green and find it to be excellent leader material. I went off the brown Maxima while trout fishing with no success one day and a fellow fisher said "change the leader, the brown stuff spooks the fish". Sure enough, a change to a less conspicuous leader material brought instant success.
I do not like the Maxima Clear because it seems to have a short shelf life. I've had experiences with it where it turns almost brittle after being stored for a few months.
When I want a clear leader material I always opt for Hardy Co-Polymer. I find this hard to beat for salmon fishing. I've used it in breaking strains up to 20lb, but have never looked for anything heavier.
The only exception is when the fish want a small fly high in the water but not skated. In that instance I will use a longish flourocarbon leader that just drags the fly under the surface a little. I don't suppose this is an issue when fishing with a riffle hitch.
I believe that there is maxima clear up to at least 20lb test. I find that maxima does a great job in maintaining its breaking strength as well as holding its knots. I am partial to clear maxima on the Gaspe because the rivers are extremely clear. Whether or not it makes a difference I will never know for sure.
The leaders I use are custom-made by Gary Selig and are made from maxima. He glues all of his knots.
For what it is worth, I have had clients complain about mirage slipping and/or breaking at the knot. One dwears he willnever use it again after having his leader break on a 25lb+ salmon this past August. I also hear that it breaks down very poorly and is therefore not environmentally freindly? Anyone have any info on this?
Bill Greiner

I have been fishing the riffle hitch or the portland creek hitch for 15 years in the waters of newfoundland. You put the hitch on a different side of the fly depending on which side of the river you are fishing. If you are fishing the left side of the river with the flow going to your right you want the hitch coming off the left hand side of the fly coming around the bottom. This will keep the fly pointing up stream and make it swim slower as it is coming toward you. If you put it on the wrong side your fly will be upsidedown or be pointing downstream and be going to fast and the fish will not take. Reverse this if you are on the right side of the river with flow going to your left. If you put the hitch on the bottom your fly will ride on its side, usually this works in a boat when u are fishing directly below you, but normally I would just us a tutle know when fishing like this.
I also use a double hitch, put these parallel to each other with the second on behind the first ( going toward the bend of the hook ) this keeps it from sliding around when you are casting a long line which may produce an undersired or unpredictable swimming action. The double hitch or any hitch does weaken the breaking strength of the leader. But if you use high quality mono or floro this doesn't seem to be a problem. A lot of people in newfoundland use maxima but I do not. I use dai-riki or Rio 10 - 15 lbs.
The fish will usually be hooked in the side of the jaw closest to you. Salmon will follow the fly and then make a swipe at it and turn away from you. This is ideal but sometimes they will just rise slowy and nip it in which case you will need to set the hook as soon as he hits. In this case he will be hooked in the upper or lower jaw in the middle of the snout.
|I love maxima line and have never been broken on it because it has so much stretch in it. The time I got broken I was using flurocarbon that my guide gave me to use and it was probably 8-10lbs breaking strain. Can you get the clear maxima in breaking strains over 15lbs?? I can only find clear upto 15lbs but can get the green or brown upto 40lbs although anything above 25 takes some searching. I am going back to russia this year and would like to take lots of maxima (10lbs - 30 lbs) with me rather than expensive flurocarbon that does not perform. I have tried many differnet makes of flurocarbon and although some performed very well i found most of them to be poor at knot strenght and had bad line memory and they were expensive especially rio fluroflex. Maxima may be old but it works and works well.
|Like you Bill, I've never broken a tippet on a hitched fly and I use 8# tippet duing summer/fall low water time here in the pacific northwest. I also use a double hitch and did so from the beginning of using a hitch. I figured it would keep the tippet from sliding off the hook eye and forming a wind knot.
I fish maxima leaders and tippets exclusively (I find that they withstand nicks and are much more enviromental friendly) and go down to 6lb. Most of the time I hitch in August and September on lower water and on small flies and light leaders. I have never broken the leader on a hitched fly. I do not know if it is because I double up the hitch.

Leader size for the "hitch"
Wilbert, I'm glad you brought up leader strength after tying the hitches. It does weaken the leader. You shoulden't use anything less than 12# test. I've caught a lot of salmon using 15# Maxima. Salmon don't seem to be leader shy, especially in fast water. On the Pinware River last summer I used 14-1/2 # Mirage.
I have only fished with a hitched fly on a few occasions and found it to be a very exciting way of fishing. The only concern i have is with the hitch itself, does this weaken the leader (tipet) in the same way as wind knot. the reason that i ask this is because a large fish snapped my line at the hitch. The fish had been on for approx 5 minutes and was probably on its 5th or 6th run and the drag wasn't set too tight for the line i was using at the time. The line broke too easily for the braking strain it was rated at. Has anyone else had problems with the hitch or do i need to brush up on my knot tying.
|Topher Browne
Everyone that I fish with in Labrador--Canadians one and all--puts two hitches directly UNDER the eye of an up-turned salmon iron; it fishes the same from both sides of the river, and solves the "wrong end" dilemma that GPearson describes.
If a fish rises to a hitched fly but does not take, remove the hitch and fish the same fly as a standard wet. It's a built-in "closer."
I fish the hitch as often as I can with both dries and wets using Wulff's method. To me an important part of the process is to tie the hitch and toss the fly into the currant holding onto the tippet and watch the fly on this little mini swing to find a consistant and desirable fly posistion. With just very minor adjustments the flies orientation will change.
With Art Lee's method the fly swims backward at the latter part of the swing. Not to many things in nature swim backward toward the beach. That never seemed right to me.
It is tough for warm-weather anglers like myself to get out and fish in 20 degree weather. Give me 70 degrees with a light breeze and I am on the water!
You are certainly in the minority of Gaspe anglers who fish a hitched-fly. Those who do fish a hitch have generally been exposed to it in Labrdaor, Newfoundland, or overseas. Most of the guides (not all) on the Gaspe are either unwilling to recomend it or are not familiar with it.
My personal favorites are a blue charm, green machine with a white tail, nighthawk, and hary mary.
You are right on with the take; very exciting and hard to beat. For me, the strikes from a salmon on a hitched fly or stripped fly are the most exciting.
Bill Greiner

That one is easy for me to answer today. Our rivers in Western Washington are at or over flood stage! And there is more rain forecast to come in later this afternoon or tonight that will push them back up even higher. It looks like it will be a week or two before there is fishable water again with this "pineapple express".
what is going on
Everyone who has replied to this thread is online now. Thanks for the replies guys. But why aren't we all out fishing? Me? I'm about to fix that as soon as I finish a cup of coffee and get dressed.
|Earle Fletcher
The "Hitch" - my favorite
I have fished the "hitch" since 1964. I learned it from my guide Clifford House on Portland Creek, Newfoundland. He taught me to place 2 half hitches on the opposite side of the head just as described in Lee Wulff's book. He also instructed me to strike the moment I detected any movement in the vicinity of my waking fly. I have had lots of success with this method in many different rivers for Atlantic Salmon only. I have never fished for steelhead. Sometimes when changing to the other side of the river, I wouldn't bother to change the hitches to the other side of the fly head. It didn't seem to make any difference to the salmon.
After reading Art Lee's book on fishing the "hitch", I changed to placing the hitches on the near side of the head. He made the point that the position of the hook would pull into the corner of the jaw when the salmon turned to back into its lie, resulting in more successful hookups. I can't say I've lost fewer salmon since using Art's method, but his theory sounds good to me.
When to strike or not to strike the take is a question that depends upon the intent of the salmon and the nature of the water you are fishing. Usually in fast water the take is so fast you don't have time to strike, and in slower water the strike is more delibrate. Sometimes there is an explosion without any pull on your line. However, the advice to strike whenever you see movement near your fly does have merrit. I have found many times a salmon will take the fly straight on and not quickly turn. If you don't strike this take, you will probably end up with just a pricked fish. Depending upon the water conditions, quite often you will see the salmon open its mouth. You won't feel a thing, but I will guarentee the fly is in there. After a while, you seem to develop a sense of whether to strike or let it ride, just like in dry fly fishing.
The riffling hitch is my favorite way to fish for Atlantic Salmon; and other than the dry fly, is the most exiciting way to hook a salmon, much more so than just swinging a wet fly. My favorite patterns are Green Butt, Blue Charm and Thunder and Lightning tied in size 4, 6 and 8 on Tiemco #7989 light wire salmon/steelhead hooks.
Earle Fletcher
P.S. Bill, I have taken salmon on the Dartmouth, York and St.-Jean rivers using the "hitch".

Southern Africa: People face "silent food-insecurity emergency," warns Catherine Bragg
19 October, 2012
UN deputy humanitarian chief Catherine Bragg wrapped up her five-day visit to southern Africa today with a call for regional Governments and humanitarian organizations to work together to break the cycle of food shortages and poverty in the region.
Food insecurity continues to be a chronic problem in southern Africa, particularly in Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Across the region, more than 5.5 million people in eight countries face food shortages—a 40 per cent increase in the past year—due to rising food prices and recurrent natural disasters such as droughts and floods.
"Southern Africa is facing a silent food-insecurity emergency," said Ms. Bragg, who visited Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
"In Lesotho, about a third of the population does not have enough food to eat or sell. In Zimbabwe, 1.6 million people are expected to be food insecure, and many families are selling their own livestock to cope with this dire situation."
UN agencies, such as the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), are responding to the immediate needs and helping people find ways to cope with the crisis through improved agricultural and livestock production.
In Lesotho and Malawi, WFP is reaching hundreds of thousands of children with nutrition and school-feeding programmes. In Zimbabwe, WFP has scaled up its food distribution, and FAO is promoting sustainable farming practices such as soil conservation and livestock-vaccination campaigns.
Since 2011, several UN agencies have received allocations from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to address crises in the region, from natural disasters and food insecurity, to emergency health care including cholera prevention and treatment.
During her trip, Ms. Bragg met representatives from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to discuss how to tackle food insecurity and promote disaster preparedness. SADC, made up of 15 countries, has taken the lead in putting in place contingency and preparedness measures to respond to emergencies. More than half a million people were affected earlier this year when floods destroyed tens of thousands of homes and acres of farmland across southern Africa.

How Exciting!

The faint trails of light in this field at dusk were produced by fireflies. Fireflies produce light to warn away predators or attract mates. Most people are intrigued by these glowing insects, but few know how they produce light. Do you know how?
The Back Story
- To understand how fireflies produce light, you first need to know about electrons in atoms. These tiny negative particles swarm around the positive nucleus of the atom at fixed distances from the nucleus, called energy levels.
- Electrons can be excited by absorbing energy. This causes them to jump to a higher energy level. This isn't a stable situation, so the electrons quickly fall back down to their normal energy level. When they do, they give off the extra energy in the form of light.
- Excited electrons explain how fireflies produce light. If you've never seen fireflies in nature or just want to see their flashing lights again, watch this video:
Show What You Know
At the links below, learn more about the science behind firefly lights. Then answer the questions that follow.

- http://www.chemicalconnection.org.uk/chemistry/topics/view.php?topic=3&headingno=5
- http://www.ccmr.cornell.edu/education/ask/?quid=1020
- The scientist who first proposed that electrons are located only at certain fixed distances from the atomic nucleus was Niels Bohr. Outline Bohr's atomic model and how it relates to the excitation of electrons.
- In the third link above, the scientist gives an analogy for the excitation of electrons and how they give off energy when they return to their ground state. Describe this analogy.
- Chemoluminescence is the general term for the method that fireflies use to produce light. Define chemoluminescence, and describe how it works.
- When living things such as fireflies use chemoluminescence to produce light, the process is called bioluminescence. Describe the chemistry behind bioluminescence in fireflies.

Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are giving up some gains this morning following an 8% rise yesterday on the backs of Verizon Communications's (VZ) announcement it will start selling the Z10 smartphone today, via pre-orders, and BlackBerry's afternoon announcement that a single partner had order 1 million units of phones running on the new BB10 operating system.
Goldman Sachs's Simona Jankowski today reiterates a Buy rating BlackBerry shares, and a $19 price target, and trims her estimates for the fiscal Q4 ended last month to $3.13 billion in revenue and a 23-cent loss from a prior $3.24 billion and a 17-cent loss, to adjust for what she had thought would be an earlier U.S. debut of the Z10.
However, those numbers would beat consensus of $2.85 billion and a 32-cent loss, she points out, which would be the company's third quarterly beat in a row.
More important, in Jankowski's view, is that sales of BB10 handsets should rise from perhaps 500,000 last quarter to two million to three million for every quarter this year. She is sticking with an estimate for the full fiscal year 2014 of $13.53 billion in revenue and 12 cents profit, better than consensus for $12.8 billion and a 45-cent loss.
Jankowski's "checks" of retail suggest the Z10 debut was better than expected, she writes, and that the BB10 devices can lift the company's average selling prices and margins:
We conducted retail checks at nearly 40 stores in the UK, Canada, UAE, and India, to gauge the Z10 launch sales and subsequent demand. Specifically, we asked questions around popularity, sales trajectory, consumer feedback, inventory, and return rate. Based on these, we believe that most stores had a successful launch week, followed by steady demand for the device […] Z10's pricing around the world implies an ASP of over $500, well above the November quarter's smartphone ASP of $227 (Exhibit 1). As a result, we expect the Z10 ramp to drive a significant increase to BlackBerry's ASPs and margins, implying upside to consensus estimates in FY4Q and to a greater extent in the May and August quarters, which include 3 months of shipments globally as opposed to 1 month of shipments in limited regions in FY4Q (Feb).
Jankowski also provides the following table of debut dates and pricing of the Z10 in various countries:

Wednesday's announcement that the U.S. Postal Service will stop Saturday mail delivery Aug. 1, 2013, except for packages, comes as no surprise in light of USPS's soaring losses ($15.9 billion in 2012) and its other cost-cutting moves. Those included consolidating and eliminating processing centers, which cost Tupelo its processing operation.
The announcement by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe stirred widespread congressional comments, as had often been the case with past USPS service changes or planned post office closures.
U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee said he understands the value and convenience of Saturday house-to-house delivery, but added "the Post Office needs flexibility if it is going to survive in the 21st century world of emails, FedEx, and UPS. While I understand the concern regarding the timely delivery of essential items, it is important to note the Postal Service is maintaining a six-day delivery schedule for packages."
Mississippi's Sen. Thad Cochran had a different view. "I think it is important to maintain Saturday delivery of the mail. I will do my best to help influence a favorable change in this decision," he said in a statement released by his Washington office.
Sen. Roger Wicker echoed Cochran's concerns, "Last year, I supported legislation that would have placed a two-year moratorium on ending Saturday mail delivery and required a study to find other cost-saving options," said Wicker. "Unfortunately, the Senate postal reform bill stalled. … We have asked the Postal Service to run its operation more like a business … but stopping Saturday delivery is the wrong decision."
Delivery six days a week door-to-door has been a constant since the late 19th century, but it has not always been part of the post office's regular service. USPS is an independent agency and is not funded by the federal government, as was the case through most of its history.
The move is expected to save about $2 billion a year. The postal service plans to continue Saturday delivery of packages, which remain a profitable and growing part of the delivery business, officials said.
Unions representing postal employees also joined the ranks of the opposition because of job loss concerns.
As in past postal debates, the outcome is uncertain, but the situation clearly is financially grave. Cutting back on most Saturday mail delivery does not seem an unreasonable path to pursue.

The 10 Ways Bush Screwed New York
Here's a welcome from New York 9-11 Veterans for Truth, a big hello for Republicans from a city hit by a couple of swift jets 35 monthsnot 35 yearsago. It's matched by just as friendly an insistence that the convention focus on how Bush-Cheney responded to our riverbank assault, rather than on an ancient Mekong attack, where the first test of courage was being there. With the president scheduled to barely show up here all week, wouldn't it be respectful if the delegates and media actually got around town to see just what he's done to us since the bullhorn bravado of 2001? They could start with NYPD Blue, that All-American army deployed all over midtown. There are actually 5,879 fewer city cops than in 2000, partly due to the nearly 90 percent Bush cuts in Bill Clinton's COPS programs. Even with the post-9-11 invention of homeland security funding, NYC is getting $61 million less in federal public-safety subsidies than it did before our cops became America's front line. Bush's 2005 budget proposes even more cuts. Though most conventioneers would prefer to forget it, George W. Bush has slashed the troop strength that host committee hero Rudy Giuliani put on duty.
With the Bush administration also opposing legislation backed by Mayor Bloomberg that would've compensated the city for revenue lost due to 9-11, six firehouses were closed as well. That includes one on 125th Street in East Harlem, an engine company that might well have been summoned to Madison Square Garden in a multi-alarm fire. Of course, should anything catastrophic happen there during convention week, the firefighters whose brothers died on 9-11 will still be communicating on the same, reprogrammed, radios that cost lives three years ago, thanks to a president who refused to pony up the $120 million needed for new ones. Bush has also de-funded the SAFER program even after Congress passed itblocking NYC from hiring more firefightersand limited equipment purchases under the FIRE program to a puny cap of $750,000, putting NY's allocation on a par with Poland, Ohio's, with Montana getting $9 per capita for federal firefighter aid and NYC nine cents.
Delegates still mesmerized by that NY's Bravest luster might want stop at another East Harlem landmarkMount Sinai Hospitalwhere thousands of Ground Zero rescue workers are still being screened for the lingering effects of their misplaced faith in post9-11 health advisories emanating from Bush's White Housescripted EPA. Though the first Bush-Cheney commercial featured a flag-draped coffin carried through Ground Zero by firefighters, the administration actually fought the paltry $90 million allocation for Mount Sinai and firefighter screening programs, as if it still believed its own altered press releases about that historic toxic cloud.
Indeed, conventioneers taking a swing by GZ should be sure to visit Battery Park City or Independence Plaza and hear what the 20,000 residents of Lower Manhattan have to say about a White House that thought they or their buildings' owners should clean up the asbestos aftermath on their own. They could even drop in at EPA's NY office just a few blocks away at 290 Broadwaywhich got a partial super-vacuuming from emergency government crews while the agency decided that virtually no one else who worked or lived downtown was entitled to one.

GOPers who arrive by train, of course, will be taking precisely the same risks passengers did before 9-11: no bag searches, no bridge, tunnel, or even significant station security boosts, with the proposed Bush budget blasting Amtrak and other mass-transit funding like a time bomb. If Tom DeLay had achieved his cruise ship dream-hotel for delegates, they might actually have seen cargo ships pulling into port virtually as insecure as pre9-11, with a lesser percent of containers inspected than speeders stopped on the Jersey Turnpike. In fact, delegates from Cheney's Wyoming, for example, will have reason to be jittery, leaving a state that gets $40 per capita in homeland security funding to visit a state that gets $10, especially since they will have entered a twilight zone on orange alert for the last 1,080 days or so.
When this attacked city was selected to host the convention way back in January 2003, Bush might have believed he'd come here as a hero, with bin Laden's head in tow, a new tower rising, $20 billion in thank-you's awaiting, and a landslide on the way, beginning in NY. Instead, along the same westside route where Bush was cheered lustily on September 14, 2001, protesters may gather by the hundreds of thousands, a revolution in receptions marking the ugly shift in national spirit that's infected Bush's years. A president who came then to our battlefield as a unifier is returning as a userturning our city into a carnival rationale for his war and re-election.
The Ten Worst Ways Bush Has Hurt Us
1 Will any convention speaker dare mention the name of Osama bin Laden? What ever happened to Bush's cowboy threat to "smoke 'em" out? Osama, Omar, and Ayman al-Zawhiri became instant and explicit "Wanted Dead or Alive" Bush targets after 9-11, but when the Pentagon came up with a card deck of the hunted, the faces were all Iraqi. The RNC is still replaying the president's bullhorned GZ promise that "the people who knocked down these buildings" would "hear all of us soon," and the president and wife are even now airing a commercial that vows to bring "an enemy to justice before they hurt us again." Who knew when Bush was strapping on that holster three years ago that High Noon would require a second term? Or is Jeb going to get 'em after 2008?
Can you imagine the Fox drumbeat if a Democratic president moved from the smoke-Osama-out soundbites we never see anymore to declaring, "I just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with ya"? Why were key Special Operations forces and CIA operatives moved out of Afghanistan in 2002 to prepare for an Iraq invasion? Why weren't American forces guarding the Pakistani border when bin Laden reportedly escaped at Tora Bora? Why were 11,000 U.S. troops sent to fight the Afghan war and 140,000 to Iraq? Is there any way to square the Bush boast that he's eliminated two-thirds of Al Qaeda's leadership with the recent Tom Ridge high alert based on the seizure of four-year-old plans? Why did Bush and the GOP Senate defeat a Chris Dodd amendment that got 40 Democratic votes to permit the U.S. to cooperate with any future International Criminal Court prosecution of bin Laden?
NYers will not put our attackers on a political back burner. Bush promised regime change at Al Qaeda; he cannot use Saddam as his beard. If we believed that this administration laser-beamed American might on bin Laden and came up empty, we could accept it. We know that Bush instead exploited it to go after a target selected at the first meeting of his National Security Council, long before 9-11.
2 Why was Bush so afraid of a 9-11 investigation? As recently as last week's interview with Larry King, Bush tried to tap-dance around his record of resistance to the 9-11 Commission. It was a lie, reliant, as always, on the assumption that no one under a klieg light would make an issue of it. Tom Daschle, who was Senate majority leader in 2002, says Dick Cheney called him and "expressed the concern that a review of what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the war on terrorism." Bush's revisionist press guru, Karen Hughes, tried to insist on a March Meet the Press that Bush only had "concerns" about a probe, adding, "I don't know that the president ever opposed the creation of it." The families know better. Monica Gabrielle, whose insurance broker husband died in the attack, said: "The White House is blocking everything." Photogenic presidential hugger John McCain knows better. He said Bush tried to "slow-walk and stonewall it."
Bush at first put Henry Kissinger in charge. His Federal Aviation Administration and Defense Department had to be subpoenaed to give up records. He insisted on "minders" accompanying any federal official interviewed by the commission. He would be interviewed only if Cheney was at his sideand no oath or transcripts were taken, guaranteeing that his comments would barely be quoted in the eventual 567-page report. When he was finally forced by public pressure to allow Condi Rice to testify publicly, he won a concession that no other White House official would be questioned publicly or privately again. He opposed an extension of the commission's deadline. He deleted its funding altogether from one supplemental budget request and ultimately funded it at one-fourth the cost of Ken Starr's probe of a dress stain. His wholly owned cable network and NY tabloid derided it repeatedly.
And then, when the commission produced a report with bipartisan unanimity that factually decimated Bush's first nine months of terrorist indifference, but gave reporters too little conclusory language to write a lead, Bush glowingly welcomed the chair and vice-chair at the White House. A month later, after Donald Rumsfeld poured cold water on the key recommendations at a Senate hearing, it's clear Bush will move only if compelled.
3 Was the Bush team awake in the nine months before the attack? The press, always seeking balance, has apparently decided that if Bill Clinton was out to lunch on Al Qaeda, then Dubya's vacationing vacillation is not news. But Clinton is not seeking four more years. With CIA director George Tenet telling the commission that "the system was blinking red," the White House appears in the report as glazed as it did the first seven minutes after the second plane hit.
"In sum," the commission concluded about the Bush response to what it said were "unprecedented" warnings, "the domestic agencies never mobilized in response to the threat. They did not have direction, and did not have a plan to institute. The borders were not hardened. Transportation systems were not fortified. Electronic surveillance was not targeted against a domestic threat. State and local law enforcement was not marshaled to augment the FBI's efforts. The public was not warned. The terrorists exploited deep institutional failings within our government."
Incredibly, these words have received far less media than, for example, the recollections of Swift boat crewmen who never sailed under John Kerry's command. Yet, with five Republican commissioners voting, each word was so carefully parsed they shout with the collective voice of minimum truth. Prediction: No one in the national media will quote them through four nights of endless TV gab. Even though they are Republican conclusions, our talking heads would view citing them as the electronic equivalent of belching in an in-law's living room.
No one will mention the 40 bin Laden articles in Presidential Daily Briefings from January 20 to September 10, 2001; the first day of vacation's August 6 wake-up PDB headline of "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S.," and the fishing trip that ensued; the failure to even convene a principals' meeting on terrorism until September 4, 2001; the president's uncertainty about whether he ever discussed the August 6 PDB with Justice officials; the acting FBI director's sworn recollection that AG Ashcroft told him he didn't want to hear about the Al Qaeda threats anymore; and the telling testimony of senior counterterrorism staff that they considered resigning during it all to "go public with their concerns."
New Yorkers cannot forget that the most infamous of the PDBs contained three incredible warnings: a WTC reprise of '93, hijackings, and Al Qaeda surveillance of buildings here. No counter-terrorism group or National Security Council meetings were "held to discuss the possible threat of a strike in the U.S. as a result of this report," the commission said, while the longest presidential vacation in modern history dragged on.
4 Iraq plus tax cuts adds up to a deficit that will force a second-term squeeze on social programs vital to NYC. Bush didn't cause the recession. He didn't cause 9-11. Any president would've had to take on the added costs of homeland security and Afghanistan, maybe even spent more on them. But $75 billion here and $87 billion there, and Iraq becomes a pretty big bill, with no end to installment payments in sight. Deficits of a half-trillion might, in a real world, slow the march to making $4 trillion in high-end tax cuts permanent, but a second Bush term will almost undoubtedly include even more cuts. He's already talking about converting us from an income- to consumption-tax system, with every form of investment income insulated from taxation.
There's only so much blood the White House can drain out of health and social programs, but that promises to be a focus of Term II. Shock & awe for Head Start. "You'll see huge cutbacks in these programs in the budget that's released in early 2005," predicts Brookings Institution economist Bell Sawhill. This anticipated calamity appears on this Voice list of current, as opposed to future, Bush assaults on the city because the fiscal madness of the last three years leads inexorably to it. With 75 percent of budget deterioration due to lower revenues, not higher spending, and the Bush Garden party exploding in celebration next week whenever tax cuts are mentioned, have no doubt that every federal dollar of social responsibility is up for grabs.
5 Bush did OK on the $20 billion, but he's still shortchanging us on the edges of the minimal pledge he made to a city whose economy took an $80 billion hit. For example, when Florida collects hurricane aid, it will likely also get another 15 percent of whatever FEMA spends on emergency assistance for "hazard mitigation"funding that federal law requires to help a disaster-hit locality figure out ways to avoid such a crushing blow again. NY only got 5 percent. Even George Pataki, who's as likely to publicly criticize Bush as he is Libby, has complained about that one.
The White House explanation is that the city got all its emergency costs reimburseda higher percentage than usualso it's receiving less mitigation aid. But Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who's been a tiger in the House on every dollar due New York, cites chapter and verse of other localities that have collected full emergency and mitigation funding. Fifteen percent mitigation would add $840 million to our coffers.
Bush is hardly the only one responsible for another missing $3 billion. Instead of demanding the $20 billion in hard cash the minute Bush agreed in the White House meeting with our senators, Giuliani, Pataki, and the senators decided they wanted billions of it in the form of tax incentives for downtown projects that have never materialized. It's a synchronized bipartisan mess that includes the White House. But this screwup, combined with Pataki's snail-like rebuilding pace on the site, has given Bush nothing to showcase here. He's planning no GZ extravaganza because it still looks like a moonscape.
6 Senator Schumer says NY doesn't expect a share of Idaho's farm subsidies, so why does Idaho take a chunk of NY's security subsidies? It's a question no speaker at the GOP convention is likely to address even though a national Democrat like Hillary Clinton raised it from the DNC podium. Iowa is spending bioterrorism funding on corn feed. Maybe that state should, because with NY ranked 35th in anti-terrorism per capita funding and 50th in bioterrorism, it's all becoming pork anyway. When security dollars are allocated, the red states should be the ones that have shed or are likely to shed blood.
This is not just a Tom DeLay problem. The White House has been almost as deplorable as Congress. In fact, a 2004 Bloomberg report says that a key funding source, the Urban Area Security Initiative, which was originally targeted at the seven most vulnerable cities, is now dispersed among 80 cities and that the White House is preparing an October surprise. The president will name more cities eligible for this limited potwith NYC's total already sliced from $281 million to $47 million and Bloomberg saying there is "no public formula detailing the factors" Bush will use in making his pre-election grants. The mayor who brought the convention here says that he fought hard "to get money allocated for high-threat areas, but the funds are being diluted as cities are added."
7 What could be worse than lying to GZ workers and residents about the air they were breathing? The original EPA draft of a September 13, 2001, press release, for example, said that the agency considered even the low levels of asbestos that surfaced in their GZ tests "hazardous in this situation." The final White House version of the release simply scratched out the phrase. And when a September 16 EPA draft warned of "higher levels of asbestos," the White House changed it to the hot-air hoax that "ambient air quality meets standards and is not a cause for public concern." The EPA chief of staff conceded in an interview with the agency's inspector general that the "desire to reopen Wall Street" factored into the releases, saying she did not feel the releases were her own.
NYC will live with the consequences of what the IG concluded were White House efforts to "add reassuring statements and delete cautionary ones" for years, if not decades, to come. Asbestos is a long-term and relentless killer. We have already learned that 2,500 firefighters alone have diminished lung capacity due to inhaling WTC debris. Six hundred have already retired with GZ disabilities or are seeking these costly pensions. Lower Manhattan residents are suing EPA because it left them to fend for themselves, dodging interior cleanup responsibilities until a year after the attack. Eighty percent of the homes have still never been tested or cleaned. Do you think that will be the Bush attitude in a post-hurricane swing state?
8 Bush has left most New York children behind. Congressman Anthony Weiner has calculated that the administration has shortchanged the city by $2.5 billion through cuts in the five key education programs funded under the Bush schools initiative, No Child Left Behind. NCLB hasn't just hurt the pocketbook, it's also forced traumatic overcrowding by widening parental choice, damaging high-performing schools and emptying low-performing ones.
9 Ten thousand NY families are in jeopardy of losing their housing subsidies and homes. Bush has proposed a $107 million cut in NY's Section 8 housing vouchers. If passed, it will be the first time this voucher program has ever been reduced. The administration is also trying to recapture $50 million in subsidies the city already got. Since Bush took office, the city's housing authority, which is home to one in every 12 NYers, has taken, according to Maloney, Weiner, and other House Democrats, a $175 million drop in federal funding.
As damaging as the school and housing cuts are, they are part of a fabric of fiscal warfare against the city. The attempt to reconstitute the highway and transit formula threatens to financially cripple our subway system (will any delegates ride it even once?). Workforce Investment Act funding for job training has fallen by 41 percent even as our employment figures have nosedived. Safety net programs for the uninsured, called the Healthy Community Access Program (HCAP), plummet from $120 million to $10 million in Bush's proposed budget. These cuts may well be a precursor of the decimation of these programs in a deficit-reducing Term 2.
10 With NYC the No. 1 target of bio and nuclear terrorists, the go-it-alone Bush administration has torpedoed international treaties that would make us more secure. Earlier this month in Geneva, the U.S. reversed Clinton's support of a U.N. agreement banning the production and supply of highly enriched uranium essential to building nukes. Strongly supported by allies like Britain, the fissile material cut-off treaty, as it's called, would've reduced the chances of terror groups acquiring a nuclear capability. In 2001, Bush did the same to scuttle a biological-weapons convention, though 55 nations had signed on after seven years of negotiation. Elisa Harris, who oversaw proliferation issues for Clinton's NSC, said that the Bush administration was sending "a very dangerous message," acting on the neoconservative distrust of any binding restraints on America First policy.

Some things last the test of time. That includes the rich, 500-year-old Jesuit heritage upon which the College was founded.
What's the best way to learn about life at Le Moyne? Explore, investigate and discover our beautiful campus for yourself.
Submit your application for undergraduate, graduate or continuing education programs today.
Put your mind to work – for yourself, for your future, and for your world.
Everything you experience teaches you something about yourself and the world around you. Savor as many as possible.
Your gift to Le Moyne today is an investment in countless tomorrows.
What do great filmmakers, journalists, TV and radio broadcasters, public relations professionals, advertisers, and other successful media producers all know deep in their bones?
How to tell stories. That's what we know, too, and the art of storytelling is what we teach students in Le Moyne's Department of Communication & Film Studies. Stories that play on movie screens and smart-phone screens. Stories that pop off pages of magazines. Stories that sing through a listener's earbuds, or that take audiences into elaborate worlds of digital multimedia.
Our students, of course, learn how to use the tools of storytelling: state-of-the-art HD cameras, production and editing software like InDesign and Premiere, even pens and pencils.
But the tools are always secondary, in service to the hard work of storytelling: discovering important things to say, and then saying those things vividly, gracefully, even poetically. And always powerfully.
Why do we place so much value on storytelling? Because that skill will remain essential, no matter what new technologies come along, no matter how different the media landscape might look in five years or fifty years.
Stories. Essential. We know how difficult it is to tell them really well. We know how much practice it takes, how much guidance. And we know—because our students show us all the time—how infinitely informative, entertaining, and vital stories can be.
Stop by, send us an email, or call us. We'll tell you our story.
When you join the Department of Communication & Film Studies, you'll begin broadening and deepening your critical literacy—becoming better able to interpret stories told by others and telling your own with greater wisdom and power. And because we exist within a Jesuit liberal arts college, you'll explore deeply what it means to tell stories ethically and through the lens of social responsibility.
Like every student in our department, you'll take a "nucleus" of courses that will give you foundational skills in writing, video, and audio, and that will familiarize you with the complicated and fascinating ways in which the media works. Beyond that nucleus, you'll be able to choose from nearly 50 courses in all kinds of media study and production, from advertising to digital videography, from music journalism to the history of film, from science writing to public relations. You can sample widely or zero in on your area of greatest interest.
Through those courses, through internships, and through extra-curricular activities, you'll get a four-pronged education in storytelling and media production:
After your vigorous and formative four years, you'll be multi-skilled, adaptable, and ready to navigate the ever-changing world of professional communications. You'll be prepared to work in professional media or to study further in graduate school. You'll be ready to contribute creatively, ethically, and learnedly to the world beyond Le Moyne.
For all the details about our curriculum, please see the Le Moyne College catalog.
In the Spring 2015 semester, students in our senior-level Convergence course went looking for people in the Le Moyne community who were "working for good." They found a lot. And they used video, photography, audio, and writing to tell those stories. Check out this website they created to present those multimedia stories.
Students in the Communication & Film Studies Department have recently worked as scriptwriters, actors, production crew, and editors to help create an original 40-minute feature film, Business Affairs. Our Public Relations students even hosted a sold-out red-carpet premiere. Click to watch the completed project. And if you're a student interested in having your name in the credits of the next "Le Moyne Makes Movies" creation, please join the cast or crew.
You can practice what you learn in the classroom by joining any of the student-run media clubs. This is a great way to get real-world experience and build a portfolio that will help you get a job.

Berger 'grateful' for opportunity to lead St. Mary's
He took over Elm Grove parish in July
The Rev. Peter Berger enjoyed his former job as the vocation director with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
But there was something missing, a void.
"My job involved a lot of desk work," Berger said. "It was good but I love being a parish priest and am much more of a community-oriented person. And I truly missed parish ministry."
He got an opportunity to return to parish ministry in July when he was named the parish administrator at St. Mary's Visitation in Elm Grove.
"This was my first choice," said Berger of his top three parishes he named during the selection process. "I really like the community here. I heard good things about the parish."
Berger said the church, which has more than 4,000 parishioners, had been without a full-time priest for about 15 to 16 months.
The 34-year-old priest comes to St. Mary's after having previously served as an associate pastor at Lumen Christi Catholic Church in Mequon for five years and a part-time chaplain at Pius XI High School.
Growing up, he and his family lived just a few blocks from St. Mary's and were members until he was 5 years old until they moved to a different part of Wauwatosa and joined St. Jude Parish.
So while Berger doesn't remember much about attending St. Mary's as a child, he's thrilled about returning to lead the parish ministry.
"I love St. Mary's," Berger said. "I'm so grateful to be assigned here. It's a wonderful community that has gone through a lot in the past few years."
He attended Wauwatosa East High School before entering the Saint Francis Seminary College Program and Marquette University, where he received a bachelor's degree in theology and philosophy. He then entered Saint Francis de Sales Seminary where he received his formation for the priesthood. He was ordained a priest on May 21, 2005.
"I feel like this was my calling and what God wanted me to do," Berger said.
He said what inspires him about St. Mary's is that "it's one of those parishes that people grow up in and stay with as they get older." Berger added that he's also encouraged by the increasing school enrollment and the youth and young adult ministry programs.
Berger is looking forward to meeting many more parishioners in the months to come. He had a chance this past weekend during a parish picnic.
"It was just a perfect day to gather as a community," Berger said.

Booked the car in and got the job done for the original price quoted. They even did one other job I asked them to do in the same price. Brilliant!
These guys very helpful and good workers.
Would highly recommend this garage to anyone. Excellent customer service and very reasonably priced. I've always been very wary of garages but the team were amazing, very friendly and put my mind at ease. I know nothing about cars so asked alot of questions & they were happy to explain to me fully. Kept me informed constantly & picked my car up & delivered it back to me which saved me so much hassle. Will definitely be a retuning customer. Thank you Tom & team
Very professional garage ..Recomanded A ++++
Excellent comms and service. Quick to answer/return calls, kept up to date in all matters, always felt that I was getting 5* service. Had a small problem (squeal/rubbing noise) which they resolved quickly. Fully recommended.
Nice Customer service and get a clear idea about car's problem.
Liam come to diagnose the problem Said it was a fault with the key and would get someone he knew to call we never received a call back . When we did get somebody else it was nothing to do with the key it was the steering. So we basically paid £60 for nothing

Tyrone Spong Confident in His Chances at GLORY 9 NYC
- Written by Dave Walsh
When most of us look at GLORY 9 NYC the big name that stands out in the Light Heavyweight tournament is easily Tyrone Spong. It isn't just because most American MMA fans only know him and a few other Kickboxers names off of the top of their heads, but because Tyrone Spong is the real deal when it comes to Kickboxers. There is a lot of talent on display in the upcoming GLORY 9 NYC Light Heavyweight tournament, but Spong is definitely the favorite going into it.
BloodyElbow interviewed Spong in a rather MMA-centric affair, but there was one section about his upcoming tournament run, where he talks about the opener against Michael Duut and his chances in the whole tournament.
"How do you feel about competing in GLORY's one-night tournament? The rumor is you're slated to face Michael Duut in the opening round of the tourney.
I think I've got a great chance to win this tournament but anything can happen. I heard the same rumor but I don't really know. I just heard the same thing. He's a young, hungry kid who is pretty aggressive. I know he's looking to bring the upset. I'm not overconfident, but it should be a great fight."
