BOONE MURDER UPDATEfrom Eyewitness News Online Boone Magistrate Sends Case Of Woman Charged In Boone Murder To Grand Jury Reported by: Bob Aaron Web Producer: Jeff Morris Reported: Sep. 27, 2012 10:55 AM EDT Updated: Oct. 9, 2012 2:11 PM EDT
, Boone County
, West Virginia
A Boone County magistrate Tuesday bound the case of a Lincoln woman accused of murdering an elderly man over to a grand jury for consideration. Maura Shea Perry, 20, of Hamlin is accused in the shooting death of Jimmie Cooper, 71, whose body was discovered Sept. 26 after his co-workers reported that he had not shown up for work. In magistrate court Tuesday, a deputy testified that Perry had confessed to the crime, saying she shot Cooper with his own .38-caliber gun as he lay in his bed at his home in Peytona. The deputy said the suspect said she had been planning to poison Cooper, but she was not able to get the drugs. The Boone County Sheriff's Office has filed warrants and charged a woman in connection with the murder of a elderly man. The body of Jimmie Cooper, 71, was discovered Wednesday night after his co-workers reported he hadn't shown up to work. Maura Shea Perry, 20, of Hamlin is now charged with first degree murder. If she is convicted, she could face life in prison. Investigators believe that Cooper was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head as he lay in his bed at home. Investigators believe Perry had an ongoing relationship with the victim and stole property after the murder, which she pawned to facilitate her drug usage. Deputies recovered Cooper's car at a park and ride at Scott Depot on Thursday, where it had been abandoned. Several items have been recovered from pawn shops in the Kanawha Valley area that belonged to the victim, Sheriff Rodney Miller said in a press release. A murder investigation is underway in Boone County after police find a badly decomposed body in a trailer. Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller says suspicious signs in the home have led them to label the case a homicide. Now, a community is left wondering how Jimmie Cooper, 71, died and if someone out there is responsible. "He was a fine outstanding man," said Kevin White. White worked with Cooper as a security guard at a Boone County mine, just up the road from his house. Cooper was found dead late Wednesday night. "There's somewhat suspicious circumstances around it, just in the manner that we found it," said Miller. Miller believes someone broke into the trailer, located just off of Route 3 in Peytona. "There did seem to be some forced entry into the residence. We don't know if that was something that lead to this individuals death or if it was something after the fact," the sheriff said. White says Cooper didn't show up to work on Saturday, sparking concern for his well-being. "We maybe thought he went out of town or something then a couple of days after not seeing his vehicle here, me and an in-house worker decided to report it and that's how this was all discovered," explained White. Deputies came to the home around 11:30 Wednesday night and found Cooper's badly decomposing body inside. They stayed on scene all night and all day Thursday collecting evidence and discovered his car abandoned at a Putnam County Park and Ride. Investigators aren't saying how he died. They say the condition of his body hindered the early staged of the investigation, prompting them to send the body to the state medical examiner's office. "My understanding is that he was a great guy here in the community. He was a really good employee for me," said White. Deputies said they were questioning several people. No arrests have been made. They believe he was last seen alive last Thursday, September 20th. Authorities released the name of a 71-year-old Boone County man who was found slain in his home. The body of Jimmie Cooper was discovered in his residence behind the Peytona Southern Baptist Church just off Route 3 Thursday morning. Deputies have shifted the investigation to Putnam County where his Cooper's car was found this afternoon. Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for further updates. The body of a man has been found inside a Boone County home, and investigators said it is an apparent homicide. A 71-year-old man was found inside his home behind the Peytona Southern Baptist Church just off of Route 3 Thursday morning, Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller said. Miller said the victim, who has not been identified, was last seen a week ago Thursday. He hadn't shown up for work, so officers went to his home to check on him. That's where they found signs of forced entry -- a door to the residence had been kicked in. The victim's car was found in Putnam County early Thursday afternoon. Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for the latest on this developing story. Authorities are investigating a death in Boone County where a decomposed body was found. Kanawha County dispatchers put out an alert about 6:15 a.m. Thursday for two people police wanted to question for a possible homicide that happened in Peytona. Boone County deputies, State Police and crime scene detectives were all at a trailer behind the Peytona Southern Baptist Church, located just off of Route 3. Deputies are not releasing many details about the investigation at this time. Eyewitness News has a crew on the scene. Stay tuned for further updates. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

At major universities, faculty members are often said to view teaching as less prestigious than research. To the extent that this is true, it's an impediment to the development of great educational programs and it prevents us from finding good synergies between teaching and research.
I recently heard Kristin Halvorsen, Norway's Minister of Education and Research, point again to the low status of teaching. She asked for suggestions about how to rectify this. Here are four structural changes that could contribute to her important goal.
1] Make excellence in teaching part of the promotion process. When an associate professor in Norway applies for promotion to full professor, an external committee is formed; that committee has the final word in determining whether or not an individual is promoted.
This system could easily be modified to enhance the status of teaching. There are two possible approaches. One option is to change the instructions for the committees. Associate professors at Norwegian universities spend roughly half their time on teaching and half on research. Yet the evaluation committees are (almost) exclusively concerned with research. They could be instructed to consider teaching accomplishments as well as research accomplishments when considered a promotion application.
An alternative approach would let the committees continue to focus on research, but instead allow the applicant's local leadership (e.g. department chair) to supplement the committee's evaluation with an assessment of the individual's work as a teacher, before a final decision is made by the applicant's home university.
2] Award publication points for textbooks and other teaching materials. The Norwegian government finances universities in part based on their research production, as measured in an elaborate system for counting publications. Points are awarded only for research publications; hence, money is generated by scientific articles and monographs.
There is no monetary award, however, for the production of teaching materials, such as textbooks. If textbooks were awarded points just like published PhD dissertations are, it would increase the status for work focused on teaching. At my university, a certain number of points are necessary to earn a sabbatical; currently, these can only be earned through research publications. If they also could be earned for publications focused on work in the classroom, it would be a motivation to do this kind of work.
3] Use credit-production funds for teaching incentives. Universities in Norway are also partially funded on the basis of the number of credits (studiepoeng) they produce. Yet while it is common for the funding generated by research to be partially channeled back to its source (individual or group), it is very uncommon for funds generated by credit-production to be channeled anywhere other than the general budget. Indeed, I've never heard of this happening.
There's no formal barrier to using credit-production funds for incentives. It is of course true that most such monies are necessary for basic expenses like salaries, but some of it could be used to reward those who invest in teaching. If this option were promoted from above, I'm confident we could see some creative approaches.
4] Connect research money to excellence in teaching. One idea that is floating around is that university presidents in Norway are less invested in teaching excellence than research excellence. Personally, I do not believe this claim, after four years as a VP spending a lot of time with people in university leadership. However, if you're convinced it is true, then you could get the attention of presidents by connecting teaching to the funding of research.
For example, you could require that applications to the national research council include a discussion of how the new knowledge generated by the project will be taught. What courses does the project fit in with? What pedagogical innovations will it trigger? What is the relationship between the research group that is applying for funds and the teaching program? Just asking these questions would make it clear that teaching properly belongs at the core of university activity, alongside research.
It's not difficult to come up with these ideas, Minister Halvorsen. But it is difficult to implement them. Your leadership could make that possible. If you want to raise the status of teaching, choose any one of these, and lead the way.
I look forward to seeing where you choose to go.
What's your idea for how to raise the status of teaching at universities? Tell me in the comments section below!

Gay legislators carry weight with colleagues
May 5, 2013
By Robert Moran, Inquirer Staff Writer
State Rep. Brian K. Sims, the first openly gay candidate to win a legislative election in Pennsylvania, recently was asked by another lawmaker to explain a proposed antidiscrimination measure. " 'Tell me about your gay bill,' " Sims recalled Rep. Mario Scavello, a Monroe County Republican, asking him on the floor of the House. Three other Republicans who were nearby listened as Sims argued that it was overdue for Pennsylvania to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected categories such as race, religion, age, and disability.
Lesbian Parenting Is A Labor Of Love
April 15, 1997
By Debbie Woodell
Where would you have wanted your teen-age kids on a Saturday night a couple of summers ago - racing up and down country roads in souped-up cars and trucks or home watching "Truman" with the neighborhood lesbian couple? I like to pose that question when I hear how perverted the so-called gay lifestyle is. No, we weren't engaging in behavior that would make the Lord send down his wrath; my partner and I - history buffs - watched the drama about our 33rd president. Just one more example that gay families are no different from most folks.
Gay, Lesbian Rights On The Agenda

By Idris M. Diaz, Inquirer Staff Writer
More than 300 people turned out last night for a $150-a-plate black-tie dinner to raise money to help secure full civil rights for gay men and lesbians and to push for stronger federal policies to combat AIDS. Last night's event is one of a series of similar affairs that will be held around the country to raise money for the Human Rights Campaign Fund. The organization is the largest lesbian and gay political organization in the country. The money raised last night will help the organization lobby Congress and support political candidates that support its goals.
She's in a tizzy: Mom's a lesbian
June 11, 2004
By Carrie Rickey INQUIRER MOVIE CRITIC
In the frantic and farcical spirit of Pedro Almod?var, My Mother Likes Women is about three grown daughters of a Madrid concert pianist who comically conspire to break up their mother's affair with a classical musician young enough to be their sister. The eldest and youngest of the siblings are merely disapproving of their elegant mother's new liaison. But middle sister Elvira (Leonor Watling, the comatose lovely of Almod?var's Talk to Her), plunges into an emotional tailspin.
Lesbians kidnap, rampage, make nice
December 12, 2003
By Howard Shapiro INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Suddenly is an exceedingly long, 94-minute lesbian rampage movie, sort of, in Argentinian Spanish, and we are to think that somewhere in its gritty black-and-white footage there are nuggets of Meaning and several rings of Truth. I didn't find any of these, although the film kept asking me to try. I found, instead, a fabulous cast trapped in Diego Lerman's desultory movie about a sad and sincere Buenos Aires woman named Marcia (Tatiana Saphir) who works in an underwear shop and is accosted on the street by two aimless, horrid women named Mao (Carla Crespo)
Fond Look At Landmark Lesbian Bar
April 16, 1993
By Carrie Rickey, INQUIRER MOVIE CRITIC
Like a certain celebrated TV taproom about to make its last call, Maud's was a place where everyone knew your name. Not to mention your sexual preference. On the fringe of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, itself on the fringe of the Bay Area social carpet, Maud's was a gals-only bar - a Sapphic Cheers that from 1966 to 1989 catered to San Francisco's lesbian community. The pretext of the affectionate documentary Last Call at Maud's is to chronicle the 23-year history of this watering hole where everyone from singer Janis Joplin to San Francisco Police Commissioner Gwenn Craig tossed back a few. But the subtext of this modest production is to provide a thumbnail sketch of the civil rights indignities endured and protests waged by the lesbian community since the postwar period.

Two books published by my company, "Daddy's Roommate" and "Heather Has Two Mommies," are in the middle of the controversy surrounding New York's the "Children of the Rainbow" first-grade curriculum. The controversy, of course, is coming from adults. Many New York school boards, led by Queens District 24, have rebelled against Chancellor Joseph Fernandez' call for a curriculum that includes references to lesbians and gay men - and that includes our books on a suggested reading list.
Juggling the details for Jewish lesbian wedding
February 12, 2008
By Toby Zinman FOR THE INQUIRER
Somewhere between a Jewish wedding and a very small circus, Sara Felder's June Bride, now at the Painted Bride Art Center, is an entertaining and good-natured one-woman show. Like Felder's Out of Sight last year, June Bride is autobiographical. Felder's m.o. is to tell a story about a major event in her life while punctuating the narrative with some impressive juggling (balls, cleavers, scarves, boxes). The event this time is her marriage to Dev, and the complications of two women planning a traditional Jewish wedding, chuppah and all. "I always wanted a wedding," Felder says "- a big, beautiful, loud, happy, traditional, lesbian, Jewish wedding.
Why this lesbian loved the Man in Black
September 17, 2003
RED. That's the first color I think of when I think of the Man in Black. Red was the color of the Columbia Records labels on my grandparents' Johnny Cash records. You might wonder what a lesbian who was born and raised in South Jersey has to do with Johnny Cash, the country music superstar who died Friday at 71. Well, my story probably is like that of a lot of kids who lived through the '60s, gay and straight. Growing up, my brother and I often slept over at my grandparents' while my parents went off and did whatever parents do when the kids aren't around.
Lesbian Novelist A Tad Disingenuous On Jesus
March 26, 2007
DEBBIE WOODELL says in her op-ed that author Kittredge Cherry did not write her novel "Jesus in Love" to advance the cause of lesbian and gay rights. But the evidence says otherwise. What other reason would there be? There is no evidence to prove Jesus was gay, straight or attracted to others. This is fiction, just like "The Da Vinci Code" and the anti-Christian left swallows it hook, line and sinker. What rights are the gay community lacking? After all, they can get married, have health benefits, even their own parade.

Members of Philly's only LGBT band to play at inaugural march
January 22, 2013
BY MOLLY EICHEL, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5909
WAY IN THE future, when Emily Kesselman would think back on Jan. 21, 2013, would she want to think, "I'm glad I went to work this morning" or "I'm glad I marched in the 2013 inaugural procession"? That was the question posed by her stepfather when she was on the fence about marching. She could make Jan. 21 an average day, or she could make it extraordinary. She chose the latter. Kesselman and 13 other members of the Philadelphia Freedom Band, the city's only lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender band, will be down in Washington, D.C., Monday to celebrate the second inauguration of President Obama.
Steve and Mia: Aunt schooled on lesbian love
December 28, 2012
Q: I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. My niece is a lesbian. She tells me she does not find men attractive. I get that part and really do not have any objections. I love her for who she is, not who she chooses to love. Last week, I met her "girlfriend" and I am really confused. This women binds her breasts, dresses like a man and has a man's haircut. Honestly, if I was not told she was a woman, I would have thought she was a man. I don't understand why lesbians try so hard to look and act like men if other lesbians don't find men attractive.
Chaz Bono is inspiration at Penn State Abington
October 13, 2012
By Kristin E. Holmes, Inquirer Staff Writer
As Chaz Bono recounted his transformation from cute little daughter of singers Sonny and Cher to the 43-year-old transgender man standing at the lectern, students at Penn State Abington recalled pieces of their own stories. For Richard Kirchenbauer, 60, it was the memory of seeing a 4-year-old Chastity Bono in Sonny Bono's arms during a performance at the old Valley Forge Music Fair. For Seonne Baylor, 23, it was coming out as a lesbian to her parents. For Erin Donnelly, 18, it was accepting a cousin who revealed that she was pansexual.
Women speak of sex, unsubtly
September 10, 2012
In comedy, subtlety and timing separate what's raw from what's vulgar. Raw is the advice my dad gave me about loose women (date 'em). Vulgar is an anxiety-addled woman blurting out that she accidentally had sex with a chicken. The latter sort of line fills Jacqueline Goldfinger's Raw Stitch , where nine women hover around the stools in Quig's Pub at Plays & Players Theatre (rechristened the "bar of bad decisions") and deliver monologues on relationships and sex shared with men, women, priests, carloads of teenage boys, and, occasionally, farm animals.
Man charged in attack on conservative site
August 17, 2012
By Eric Tucker and Ben Nuckols, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A man who volunteered at a gay community center had a backpack full of Chick-fil-A sandwiches and a box of ammunition when he said "I don't like your politics" and shot a security guard at the headquarters of a conservative lobbying group, authorities revealed Thursday. The guard, Leonardo Johnson, 46, was resting comfortably at a hospital Thursday. Floyd Lee Corkins II, 28, was ordered held without bond on charges that he opened fire a day earlier inside the lobby of the Family Research Council, an influential conservative Christian group that has supported the president of the fast-food chain and his staunch opposition to same-sex marriage.
Lesbian Mom Sues In Custody Battle
August 15, 2012
BURLINGTON, VT. - A Vermont woman whose former lesbian partner fled the country with the daughter born while they were joined in a civil union is suing her and a Virginia pastor who helped them flee to Nicaragua. Janet Jenkins, of Fair Haven, filed the civil lawsuit Tuesday when a jury was announcing its guilty verdict against Mennonite pastor Kenneth Miller, who helped Lisa Miller and daughter Isabella flee. The Rev. Kenneth Miller of Stuarts Draft, Va., who is not related to Lisa Miller, says he's "willing to accept the consequences" of his actions.
Sally Ride sparks a debate with her final parting
July 26, 2012
By David Crary, Associated Press
NEW YORK - Pioneering astronaut Sally Ride, who relished privacy as much as she did adventure, chose an appropriately discreet manner of coming out. At the end of an obituary that she cowrote with her partner, Tam O'Shaughnessy, they disclosed to the world their relationship of 27 years. That was it. As details trickled out after Ride's death Monday, it became clear that a circle of family, friends, and coworkers had long known of the relationship and embraced it. For millions of others, who admired Ride as the first American woman in space, it was a revelation - and it sparked a discussion about privacy vs. public candor in regard to sexual orientation.

Students apply to participate in the WKU Student Research Conference by submitting abstracts for their scholarly activities. Each WKU student is permitted to serve as the primary author on one presentation, poster, performance, video, display, or exhibit. The primary author is the person who presents the work at the conference. If two students collaborated equally on the project, they should be listed as primary co-authors in the submission. Secondary authors are other students who contributed to the project; they encouraged to attend the conference but they don't actually present the work. Students who graduate in December are welcome to present their scholarly works at the spring conference as long as the projects were completed when they were students.
Abstracts are limited to 850 characters including spaces (about 150 words). Students should work with their faculty mentors to draft their abstracts. Students typically revise their abstracts several times before submitting them for the conference. Abstracts are accepted between December 1, 2012 and February 15, 2013.
In addition to the abstract, students are required to submit the following information about their scholarly projects: title of the paper/poster/performance, subject area (business, humanities, interdisciplinary, natural science, social science/services), and equipment needed (such as computer with projector, music stand. Students also submit their personal contact information, the names and contact information for their faculty mentor(s), and the names of secondary student/faculty author(s).
Upon submitting an abstract, the faculty mentor is notified to review and approve the submission. Only those submissions approved by faculty mentors will be considered by the conference scheduling committee. Students are notified by email in early March regarding acceptance or rejection of the submission.
Students may modify or delete their abstracts prior to the submission deadline of February 15. To do so, please go to https://webapps.wku.edu/src/index.php?fuseaction=auth.notLoggedin and log-in with one's NetID and password. Faculty mentors will be notified to re-review and re-approve submissions each time students make revisions. Again, only those submissions approved by faculty mentors will be considered by the conference scheduling committee. Due to time constraints in preparing the conference schedule and program, students are not permitted to modify or delete their submissions after the February 15 deadline.
Submission of an abstract obligates the student to attend the conference should he/she be selected to present the paper, poster, or performance. Accordingly, students must be certain they are available on Saturday, March 23, 2013 before submitting an abstract. Students who are accepted to participate but fail to do so may be barred from participating in future conferences. Failure to present one's work at an academic meeting after being accepted is considered a serious scholarly offense and is not tolerated by professional organizations.
Click here to submit an abstract for the 43rd Annual WKU Student Research Conference on March 23, 2013.
An abstract is a miniature version of a scholarly paper, poster, performance, video, or exhibit. It is a one-paragraph summary of the main sections of the work. An abstract typically includes an introduction describing the research question, goal, or intent of the project; the methods, procedure, materials, or approach of the project; the results, findings, or product of the project; and a discussion describing the significance, implications, and conclusions of the project. The emphasis on these basic components will vary by discipline. A well-written abstract should make the reader want to learn more about the project.
To learn more about how to write an abstract, visit the "Be an Academic Rock Star" Workshop Series web page in our Resources for Students section.

I know we have been stamping a lot lately, but it is so easy for little ones. Plus it is a relatively mess free activity. All you need is a stamp/cookie cutter, and some paint.
This little shamrock cookie cutter was my moms (notice the little JA initials that I hope never wear off!). It is one of 4 that have been passed down to me. I love that it has a handle which makes it incredibly easy for little ones to grip. These adorable vintage cookie cutters are my favorite. I would love to add more to my collection someday.\
This is one of my go to painting activities for my day care kiddos. They all love painting and this is something that they can do with minimal help/mess. Love that! What are some of your go to/ easy activities for little ones? I love hearing what other creative moms are doing with their little ones.

Put The Music Where Your Mouth Is/Out In Front
CD (Item 503114) Vocalion (UK), 1974/1975 — Condition: New Copy
Two funky classics – back to back on a single CD! Put The Music Where Your Mouth Is features some of the funkiest grooves recorded in the UK during the early 70s – the wicked first album by the Olympic Runners, a group who almost got their start by accident! The combo was booked to back up bluesman Jimmy Dawkins for a one-off session in London – but worked together so well in the studio, jamming before Dawkins showed up, that they decided to make it a go with a groove of their own – and this fantastic funky album is the result! The tracks are all instrumental, mostly short and midtempo – with tight changes, lots of guitar and keyboards, and a vibe that's almost in the spirit of Average White Band – but grittier and funkier overall. The title cut – "Put The Music Where Your Mouth Is" – begins with this riffed bass part that's virtually a blueprint for the BDP generation of samples – and other cuts include "Everyone A Winner", "Do it Over", "Taco Toes", "Grab It", "Sproutin Out", "Just Once Is Enough", and "Be My Main Squeeze". Out In Front features funky, fantastic grooves from this hip UK combo of the 70s – a set that's heavy on keyboards and guitars, all produced with this cool compressed feel by the mighty Mike Vernon! The sound is kind of a mix of 70s American funk from the mainstream, and some of those great British studio styles of the period – that way of comping all instruments down on a groove that you'd find in better glam and pop – turned here towards a much more soulful style for the Olympic Runners! Tracks include "Freeze on Funk", "Dump the Bump", "Panic Button", "Exit City", "Get This Thing Down", "Coucou N Flying Fish", and "Go No Further". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

We're often presented with environments where the PCI DSS mandates that two-factor authentication (2FA) is required. Sometimes, our client implements something which sounds like 2FA, but isn't.
To describe why this is the case, let's revisit what 2FA actually is.
Two factor authentication is a generic term describing a system that strongly confirms the identity of the person trying to gain access. It does this by requiring at least two valid pieces of proof of identity ("factors") to be presented. The factors are:
- Something you know. This is usually a password.
- Something you have. This could be a hardware token device, or a one-time token delivered to your mobile phone or email.
- Something you are. Biometric systems that read fingerprints are common here.
Choose any two and you're using two-factor authentication. But there are some pitfalls to look out for.
The following use cases are not two-factor:
- Using only a username and a password. The username is not considered a factor on it's own. Username and password are a single factor (something you know).
- Logging on to one system with a username and password, and then from there logging on to the target system with another username and password. This is simply two instances of one-factor.
- Any implementation where a factor is optional or can be bypassed. This would almost certainly be a PCI DSS compliance issue.
The way in which two-factor authentication is implemented varies considerably between hardware and software vendors. Our very own MailAssured system, which many readers will be familiar with, implements a form of two-factor authentication. We send you a token in the form of a temporary unique URL in an email, and then we call or text you with an associated password. In that way, we are confident that the person we sent the link to is the one who has retrieved the documents.
PCI DSS places great importance on establishing the identity of individuals who have remote access to the card data environment (for reasons that should be obvious). This is why requirement 8.3 mandates that two-factor authentication be in place for remote access. This underpins other requirements (essentially the whole of requirement 10).

Testimonials - What our customers say about Win a House
Client Testimonials
We're convinced Win a House is the best place to promote house competitions online. Don't just take our word for it though! Here are some testimonials kindly provided by some of the clients we have worked with in the past. To find out more about how we could help you, have a look at services for competition organisers, or contact us!
Win a London Pad was one of the first competitions listed on the Win a House directory. I was really happy with their service as they took care of everything. They drove lots of traffic to our site, which in part helped us give away a £400,000 flat in Central London in March 2009. It's a great resource and I'd recommend that anyone organising their own property competition get in touch with these guys. Rafik Patel MIA Developments, London, United Kingdom WinaLondonPad.com |
Win-House.co.uk has been the single most effective generator of new visitors to our competition and are leagues ahead of the many directories and advertisers we have worked with. I am constantly astonished at how genuinely interested, helpful and supportive they have been towards us since we joined their directory just a short while ago. Paul Elson United Kingdom WinOurHome.com |
Listing Sandbanks Life in the directory helped attract new players to my competition. The traffic was of high quality, with more visitors interested in our competition and ultimately buying tickets. I'd recommend anyone running a house competition to speak to the Win a House team. They'll have lots of ideas to help you spread the word more effectively about your competition. Mark Barclay Vivid Construction Ltd, Sandbanks, United Kingdom SandbanksLife.co.uk |
Although we knew our competition was a great opportunity for entrants, we had no real idea how to connect with them - thats what Win-House.co.uk do to perfection. They came to us with a superb idea of running a free to enter competition on their site. They did practically everything for us and publicised it well. A few days later they had given away 5 free tickets to our competition and we had new entrants too! They seem to do the impossible and they do it flawlessly. Paul Elson United Kingdom WinOurHome.com |
After speaking to the guys at Win a House, I opted for a Featured Listing to attract more players to my Dream Home Competition. I noticed an improvement in traffic to my site almost right away and subsequently sold a good number of tickets over the period. House competitions are still relatively uncommon in the UK so finding the right place to advertise mine was very important. While I was disappointed by the results from placing an ad on a local radio station, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of enquiries I received online once my competition was featured on Win a House. Jon Sammon Sammon Building Contractors, United Kingdom DreamHomeCompetition.co.uk |
Many thanks for all your help and suggestions over the last couple of months. Apart from the new ideas you've given us, you've always been extremely quick to answer our queries and not in the least bit pushy. The blog gives a really good insight as to what's happening in the world of house competitions and I'm always impressed at how quickly you've responded to any of the postings I've left – don't you ever go home?? The website seems to get bigger and better every day and I'm sure "Win a House" will become the place to go for all things related to house competitions. Beverly Rockliffe United Kingdom WinaDreamHomeintheSun.com |

MAPFRE signs up to use 1link for motor warranty processing
Automotive insurance specialist, MAPFRE, has this month signed up to use the 1link Service Network e-commerce platform for motor warranty administration.
Claims will be loaded onto the system by dealers and submitted online to MAPFRE, who will use 1link Service Network to validate the claim. Alan Easterbrook, operations manager at MAPFRE, said: 1link provides an ideal route for us to process motor warranty claims in a fast and effective manner while minimising costs.
It means we are linked directly to dealer service departments and workshops up and down the country, making communication easier and claims processing quicker and more transparent.
David Wallace, sales and business development director at epyx, explained that several motor warranty companies were now using 1link Service Network for administration.
He said: The platform means that warranty companies can ensure that claims being made are competitively priced and processed as rapidly as possible, which is also good for their customers.
We are very pleased to welcome MAPFRE onto 1link Service Network and are looking forward to working with them.
MAPFRE, through their MAPFRE ABRAXAS and MAPFRE WARRANTY brands, is one of the leading providers of motor warranty, GAP and other add-on insurance products to the UK automotive manufacturer and retail industry.
Price Check triumphs at the awards
We are delighted to announce that we have been declared winners in the SMR category in the fourth BusinessCar Fleet Technology Awards.
According to BusinessCar, 2012 saw a stronger field in terms of the number and quality of entries. These awards focus on the growing importance of technology involved in the successful running of todays business vehicles and they commend the most forward-thinking gadgets and technology-led products on the market.
This years judging panel consisted of BusinessCars expert editorial team along with Bracknell Forest Council head of operations and ACFO deputy chairman Damian James.
Best Servicing, Maintenance and Repair System: epyxs Price Check.
We triumphed in the category dedicated to keeping business cars on the road, with Price Check, described as a seriously clever piece of technology that monitors exactly what companies are spending money on in order to keep their fleets on the road and learns how they can spend less.
Many of you already using 1link Service network will be taking advantage of Price Check or at least aware of its benefits. In essence, its purpose is to enforce the suppliers commercial terms that are already in place. When a saving has been identified once by a fleet using the platform, it can be set to automatically apply to all similar purchases in the future.
So impressed were the judging panel that one remarked: I want this system for my own car. Its a really clever use of technology to learn parameters and implement fleet savings.
Minimising car and van downtime becoming a growing concern for fleets
Minimising maintenance and repair downtime is a growing concern for fleets looking to maximise the productivity of their company cars and vans.
The company says that it is seeing increasing efforts to cut downtime through its Downtime Management module, part of the 1link Service Network e-commerce platform.
David Wallace, sales and business development director, explained: A vehicle which is off the road is an unproductive vehicle and impacts directly on company productivity. A working vehicle like a delivery van or a salespersons car needs to be available all the time and if it is not, it means additional costs in terms of a hire vehicle or lost opportunities.
At a point in time when the economy is weak, we are seeing more and more fleet managers proactively trying to reduce their downtime in order to boost their fleet productivity. There appears to be an ever clearer understanding that downtime is a cost issue.
Wallace explained that Downtime Management was being used by greater numbers of fleets and also employed more aggressively.
He said: The module enables fleet managers to generate reports that monitor their downtime and also put a set of automatic reminders in place that e-mail dealers and drivers if a job is slow, with an escalation process in place when results are not achieved.
Managing downtime can be very time consuming and the module creates an infrastructure for minimising off-road time that is simple and effective. It is proven to both reduce the overall level of downtime and associated costs such as hire vehicles.
Feu Vert signs deal with epyx France in new push to promote fleet activity
One of Frances leading networks for car maintenance, Feu Vert, has signed a deal with epyx as part of a new push to promote its services to the fleet market.
The company, which was founded in 1972 and has more than 300 sites in France and 6,000 employees, will use epyxs 1link Service Network e-commerce platform to manage transactions and provide central invoicing for company cars and vans.
Using the technology will hugely increase Feu Verts attractiveness to new fleet customers as well as providing the company with access to several major vehicle leasing companies that already make use of 1link Service Network for tyre purchasing.
Alain Moury, director of the fleet business at Feu Vert Enterprises, the business to business section of Feu Vert, explained: When a fleet driver arrives at a Feu Vert Enterprises centre, an in-house interface allows a simple click to replace telephone calls to leasing company customers. A transaction number is then automatically recorded on our jobsheet and this serves as a basis for completion of the job and invoicing.
The time taken to obtain work authorisation is reduced to a few seconds, providing a valuable saving of time on all sides as well as limiting errors and invoice complaints. Also, prior validation and checking of tyre-related work to be carried out on corporate fleets allows costs to be more easily controlled. All current and future partners of epyx are invited to negotiate a national framework contract with Feu Vert Entreprises and their company car drivers are also welcome.
Patrick Olson, managing director of epyx France, added: Feu Vert are among the most important suppliers in the French automotive sector and we are very pleased to welcome them onto the 1link Service Network platform, as well as to be working with them closely in the future.

Finally got the replacement for my spoiled tablet. Been thinking to get either Google Nexus 7C 7inch or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10inch. At the end, I still prefer something more portable and go for the Nexus 7 instead. The retail price is RM 1099 and I got it for RM 1120 (brand new) from lelong. Quite like it, more sleek look compare to my spoiled Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch, first generation.
Some of the specification for Asus Nexus 7C
What inside the black box:
One things that I overlook for Nexus 7C is the SIM Card size. It is using Micro SIM Card, not the normal mini SIM Card. The different between these two are just the size. Mini Sim Card size is 25mm X 15mm and Micro Sim Card Size is 15mm X 12mm. And I have task the risk to cut it the sim card by myself. : ) Lucky it work! Yeah Yeah! And got to thanks to this resource which have guide for cutting Sim Card. (** Do at your own risk and Good Luck)
Below is the unboxing video for Google Nexus 7 (model 7C)

Lets start my first post by saying Good Bye to my less than one year old Sammy tablet. It is my 2nd Android tablets. The first ones which I buy those China brand spoiled by itself for less than 1 month. LOL, I am wondering should I buy my 3rd tablet? For sure, I will still go for Androids powered tablet, not Windows 8 or iOS. And yeah, I am an Android fans boy. keke.
Before that (before I drop my sammy tab about and hour ago) I got think to buy a 9 inch or 10 inch tablet, and I am aiming as Sony Xperia tablet. But one of my friend told me, don't go for Sony AGAIN laaa. Yah! I am Sony fans boy too. LOL. Sony always come out with nicely design gadgets. But not all gadgets I have are Sony : ), as Sony is pricey mah.
I guess for time being, I just use CSL tablet that I bought for my wife ages ago, running on Android 2.2
