Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?
He hadn't anticipated a situation where the right thing to do was neither safe, nor in the rules. Leo adopted a thousand quaddies. Now all he had to do was teach them to be free.
©1988 Lois McMaster Bujold; (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Superb....Read, or you will be missing something extraordinary." (Chicago Sun-Times)
"Bujold's best work in my opinion." (Science Fiction Chronicle)
"if you want the books in order..."
I stumbled across the 1st "Miles" book (--Falling Free; it's sort of a prequel, actually, 200 years in the future) by accident, & enjoyed listening to the audiobook. When I went to go on to the next books, I found it annoying that they're not numbered. I did find a site that lists the books in order, for those who want a shortcut: http://www.dendarii.co.uk/FanFic/timeline.html.
As to how good they are, I've enjoyed the next 2 books enough that I bought them in order, & am about to buy the next. I like her characters, good plots that keep moving right along, & her 'sociological' sci fi of the planets Barrayar vs Beta is interesting.
"Worth a listen"
It is a good novel & and a good listen. If you have read Lois McMaster Bujold, you know that her novels don't usually do scene setting before commencing on meaty bits.
Well, here the listener gets a decent build up of the story unlike her earlier works.
Overall, I think it is a good book, the characters and the scenes are quite unique and has some humourous scenes which are rare in sci fi books. In short, it is a scifi meets dilbert story and while at the end it feels predictable, its humour and interesting characters sufficiently compensate for it.
I would rate it a 4.5 stars rather than 5, but audible's rating system's setting means that I have to rely on other people giving it a 4 stars to make it 4.5.
Classical history buff, but find most of history fascinating. Love books, ballet, and basketball.
"Don't read this one first"
The Vorkosigan series is one of the best! But this "prequel"--set 200 years before the "real" series--is an outlier, very different from the others and (in my opinion) not nearly as good. Its story is almost totally exclusive of the series; the "Quaddies" do figure in later Vorkosigan books, but in a fairly minor way. "Falling Free" is best approached after you've already become hooked by the Vorkosiverse.
Start with either Shards of Honor or The Warrior's Apprentice. An interview with Lois McMaster Bujold appears with her book listings on Amazon and will advise the best order in which to read the series.
"Quaddie Backstory"
I love the Vorkosigan universe and this is a great story. It stands completely on it's own and fills in a piece of history of the greater universe. The characters are interesting as is the story itself. The story does bring up some moral questions about slavery and personhood. Grover Gardner does a great job narrating as always. I always lean towards listening to a book if he's the narrator.
"A novel that has implications for TODAY!"
I am a huge Fan of Lois McMaster Bujold. This EXCELLENT novel shows how the idea of Human Cloning might be treated from a social and legal standpoint. When is a person NOT a person? Is an artificially designed and genetically altered living artifact really a "person"? Or are they "property"? If they are, what "rights" do they have if any? when is slavery NOT slavery? Who owns a person that has been designed and manufactured?
Then what happens to these "manufactured human artifacts" when technology bypasses them and makes them OBSOLETE? what then? Who will maintain the very expensive habitat that they require for survival when it becomes no longer financially feasible ? And most importantly, are PEOPLE, even manufactured ones, more important than money? what is the obligation of the corporation toward their "artifacts"? Dispose of them? Sterilize them and place them in institutions downside, where they will live short and painful lives as cripples? and what happens when these "artifacts" begin to form emotional bonds in defiance of the designers plans?
I continue to be fascinated by Lois Bujold's examination of social implications of a universe where people can be "gene cleaned", or redesigned, or even their sex changed, at will! Is a Woman who becomes a Man still a woman? (Civil Campaign) or can She/he take the place of a man? Is an 8 ft tall, female "super Soldier" with fangs, still a woman? or a thing? Is a planet full of MEN only who fear women as terrors beyond imagining who will control your mind with a glance from her evil eye...still PEOPLE. Or some sort of perverse wart on the universe that is best shoved aside?
BEST of all, it is FASCINATING reading! (and listening!) from a very good story teller! Wow COOL, GOOD BOOK. I have read it and listened to it SEVERAL times!
"First Vorkosigan?"
While not in the top 10, this was a good listen and well worth the credit
Well told, good character development and interest. Left me wanting to know what happens to the characters after the end of this book.
I was recommended this book as the first in the Vorkosigan series, but, as far as I can tel (just starting to listen to a proper Vorkosigan book), I don't see any real connection.
I adore British literature from the Victorian Age through World war II, primarily, and fantasy, but also enjoy mysteries once in a while.
"Another Satisfying Prequel to Miles Vorkosigan"
This compelling story draws you into the fate of the Quaddies, genetically engineered slaves with a second set of arms in place of legs. Their desire to procreate and live as normally as they can, to experience the kind of lives we, as humans, take for granted, became far more absorbing to me than I had anticipated.
Lois McMaster Bujold is a truly fine writer, with a superb ability to capture your imagination when you least expect it...Grover Gardner does complete justice to her storytelling, narrating convincingly and without any distractions for the reader. Lois's "voice" still rings true.
I recommend you read this book as background after experiencing a few of the early Miles Vorkosigan novels.
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"Not a Vorkosigan novel - but in the same universe"
While the story is easy to follow, well-written and enjoyable, I found the storyline very straight forward, no real surprises. It is set in the same "universe" as the Miles Vorkosigan stories, but alas, it is not a Miles Vorkosigan novel.
I thought Grover Gardner did an excellent job of bringing the story to life. The main character is Leo, an engineer, who becomes a sort of freedom fighter for a new people that was genetically engineered to be the best engineers in zero gravity space. The problem is that the new people are legally not seen as people.
In Leo, Lois McMaster Bujold has created a sort of Sci-Fi Moses leading his adopted people from the proverbial "land of Egypt."
If you just want something to relax while driving on the road, this story might be just the the thing for you, but be warned, if you expect this to be a Miles Vorkosigan novel, you will be bitterly disappointed. (Audible might consider, removing it from the Vorkosigan saga.)
To summarise, a well narrated and written story, enjoyable despite a predictable storyline, playing off in the Vorkosigan universe but not a Vorkosigan novel.
"Vorkosigan Series is EXCELLENT"
I would definitely listen to this again. This series is enthralling and I have already listened to several pars of it more than once.
I love the narrator of these books. He brings it off perfectly.
"Well Done!!"
I wondered how well this would convert to audio format, but Grover Gardner has once again done an excellent job voicing the characters and story.

Archive for the 'Korea' Category
The answer is yes there are food trucks in Korea! In Seoul, the Grill 5 food truck serves tacos, quesadillas and burritos! Judging by the photo's on their web site, they sure look tasty!
The Doube Spicy Chicken Taco (in a red pepper sauce) looks quite good, and costs about $4.25 for two of them — that will fill you up! They also offer a spicy pork taco and a short rib taco. The burritos come with the same fillings in a grilled tortilla.
There is some traditional Korean influence in the Kimchi Quesdadilla prepared with savory sesame oil and fried Kimchi.
Based on Grill 5's menu, usage of social media (they have almost 7,000 Twitter followers @grill5taco), the menu, the appearance of their food truck, and what I am sure are great flavors it seems that if the Grill 5 owners wanted they could just move to the U.S. and have an equally successul food truck business!

Interpreting Estimates of Treatment Effects
Health care professionals must consider drug-related adverse events along with efficacy when they prescribe medications. In explaining such concepts as statistical significance and magnitude of effect, the author suggests how indirect comparisons of studies can be used to help guide treatment decisions, especially if patients are taking other agents and combination therapy.

Perhaps, these days, it is the worst kept secret that there is a lot going on at the airport -- and there is even more planned. Like the region it serves, the Ottawa Airport is a fledgling enterprise that (pardon the pun) is taking off. This morning I wish to relate where we've been and where we're going.
J'aimerais présenter le plan établi pour le développement de l'aéroport. Je discuterai de la contribution de l'aéroport international d'Ottawa dans notre région et de la façon dont il répond aux besoins toujours changeants de la région. Mes commentaires seront brefs et je répondrai à toutes vos questions par la suite.
1997 marked the first year Ottawa International Airport was managed and operated by a local Airport Authority. Today, Ottawa International is a community-based, not-for profit (and, I hasten to add, not-for-loss) facility, with surplus dollars reinvested in the facility. We are a business.
It is tied directly to the community through its Board of Directors, who are this region's business and community leaders. The Airport Authority has 15 directors selected from the region's economic bodies -- they are local business owners with a keen interest in the well-being of the region.
The Airport Authority Chair is stepping down next month, and David Gavsie will be moving to Toronto. His contributions over the last five years are memorable. The airport and our community will miss his tireless energy and valuable insight.
Significant Economic Factor
The airport is a significant economic factor within the region. It is a net generator of wealth.
In 1997, there were 161,000 aircraft movements through the airport and over 3 million passengers served. The airport employs 4,600 people directly and indirectly. It has a wage bill of $85 million and an indirect wage bill of $56 million. Within the region, the airport generates $240 million of economic activity.
Although those numbers are impressive, the most significant economic factor I can relate to you is the fact that the airport is a taxpayer. Up to 1997, the airport was a drain on the taxpayers of Canada, losing several millions of dollars a year. Now that its operations are managed by the Airport Authority, the airport does not take a dime from the taxpayers -- on the contrary, it contributes more than $7 million of taxes to various levels of government.
Qu'est-ce qui a entraîné ce changement positif? En un mot, la privatisation. La cession de l'aéroport en février 1997 est d'une importance capitale pour la région puisqu'elle permet à la communauté d'exploiter l'aéroport comme bon lui semble et de de profiter des nombreuses possibilités qui en découlent.
Avant la cession, Transports Canada assurait l'exploitation de cette installation sans se soucier de la rentabilité de son investissement. Aujourd'hui, l'Aéroport international d'Ottawa est une entreprise et les opérations qui auparavant reflétaient les processus gouvernementaux sont désormais axés sur les clients et l'intérêt de la région.
A year of "catch up"
The airport is a changed facility. And, it is a changing facility. The region's travelling public and businesses can expect a more convenient, customer-oriented approach to services at Ottawa International.
I would like to take a moment and a glimpse of where we have come from. I look back at 1997 as a year of "catch-up". The first goal of the Airport Authority was reached within four months of being handed the keys -- and, of course, I am speaking of the delivery of the US Customs and Immigration preclearance facility.
On February 4, when we were handed the keys by the Federal Government, the Airport Authority -- that day -- made the commitment to deliver US preclearance in July. And, we did exactly that -- on time and on budget.
On July 7, the preclearance facility opened and changed, for the better, the nature of travel to the United States for our local pleasure and business travellers. We can now travel anywhere south of the border, quicker and more conveniently after being pre-cleared through US Customs here at Ottawa International.
Connection times at stopover airports have been reduced and the traveller has more final destination alternatives and greater flexibility in planning trips. The result of preclearance has been a 50% increase in transborder flights.
Today, the airport offers 39 daily non-stop flights to major US cities -- this number will increase to 41 on May 1 when Continental Airlines begin its new service. Ottawa International offers 82 daily non-stop flights to major Canadian cities. We also have service to Europe, and as of June 1, we will have 10 flights per week to Europe. Ottawa International is the region's link to the world's markets -- we are your "Capital Connection."
Much has occurred over 1997 and we will have an opportunity to review the first year's initiatives at the Airport Authority's annual general meeting, being held three weeks from today.
The annual general meeting is being held at the Palais de Congrès de Hull on May 5 at 10 am. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to extend an invitation to our region's public to hear about the first year's operations -- a year in which we, as an airport and a community, can be justifiably proud.
Looking Ahead
Il est excitant de faire partie d'une région aussi dynamique, une région qui prend de l'ampleur et qui s'épanouit sur les plans à la fois économique et social. La communauté dans laquelle nous vivons est formidable!
À l'aéroport, nous voulons faire notre part afin de contribuer à la croissance de la région. Nous avons amorcé, cette année, un processus de plan directeur visant à orienter le développement des installations et des services de l'aéroport jusqu'à l'an 2020.
Contrary to what you may have read or heard, this Master Plan consultative process is far from over. The consultants are still gathering information and the Board of Directors has not seen a final report. Any decisions on moving ahead will require Board consideration and Board approval first.
We have been consulting -- and are continuing to consult -- with the local business organizations, with community groups and with the public to determine our options for growth and develop a plan that will meet the needs of the region into the next century.
Tomorrow evening, we are hosting the last in a series of public open houses. These have been important meetings for they have provided the public with the options that are before us -- to 1) expand the air terminal building, and 2) develop the airport lands.
We have been receiving the public's feedback. The comments and suggestions are being reviewed by our master plan consulting firms of MAXGROUP and Landrum & Brown for inclusion in their final report to be presented and considered by the Airport Authority's Board of Directors later this spring.
On reconnaît le besoin de développer les installations actuelles de l'Aéroport international d'Ottawa et d'améliorer notre aérogare qui prend de l'âge. En effet, il nous faut prendre des décisions concernant cette aérogare, qui, aux heures de pointe, réussit à peine à répondre aux besoins de nos clients.
Today, the airport facilities are bursting at the seams. We serve approximately 3 million travellers per year. In 2020, the conservative projections for Ottawa International's passenger volumes will be close to 5.8 million -- almost double the number of travellers through our airport facilities! This growth demands that we do some planning today!
Through the master plan process, our bottom-line objective is to be responsive to the community's. An airport should reflect its host community. And, in the case of the Ottawa Airport, it is changing and developing to meet the needs of our changing and developing region.
When the master plan is announced, it will include an analysis of the airport facilities and services, reports on the public consultations, economic development potential, environmental and land use planing studies, air services studies, a review of business and tourism travel demands, and a long term development plan.
It will be a comprehensive plan that will be exhaustive in its review of airport's potential to develop and meet the needs of the region's travelling public. Specifically, it will recommend one option, from a series of options, for expansion of the existing main terminal and development of runways and airside facilities.
I invite the public to the last of the master plan open houses. It is tomorrow at the RA Centre between 4 and 6:30 pm. This open house is followed by a public meeting that is scheduled for 7 to 9 pm.
La séance portes ouvertes, qui se tiendra dans l'aprés-midi, suivie de l'assemblée publique de demain, de 19 h à 21 h, sont d'importantes occasions de présenter aux membres du public les options pour l'expansion de l'aéroport. Comme prévu, il s'agit de la dernière d'une série de séances d'information à l'intention du public. Les commentaires du public seront inclus dans le rapport final des experts-conseils qui sera soumis au Conseil d'administration plus tard ce printemps.
The Airport Authority's objective is to deliver a service that is safe, comfortable, and convenient.
At Ottawa International, we are committed to a higher level of customer satisfaction and to making the airport more efficient. We also want an airport that truly reflects the character of the region -- one that the community can be proud of.
And, if we coin 1997 as the year of "Catch-Up", 1998 will be "The Year of Transition". As we become a partner to more and more of the region's social and business opportunities, the airport will contribute its strengths to ensure continued high standards of prosperity and quality of life for the region's residents.
The Board of Directors and the Airport Authority staff are working hard to meet the needs of our community. We are confident that with the Master Plan we will be meeting the needs (and exceeding the expectations) of this vibrant, developing region. With the changes and the plans for future changes, the airport is, more and more, your Capital Connection to the world.

Once I give the new Queens album a rest I'll have to check this out.
Digging: xSPONGEXCOREx - How Tough Are Yah?
It's not bad but they keep on stripping down their fucking sound.
Digging: Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra - The Key to the Gates of the Apocalypse
Everything about this is beautiful.
Digging: Perfume Genius - Too Bright
Stripping down in what way? Production? Songwriting?
all these bands are streaming on pitchfork
where you at sputnik
I'll wait for my cd+t-shirt to arrive
its cool just sounds mostly like the same Kylesa
It sounds like they have added different elements, kind of branching from where they were going on Spiral Shadows. I dig it.
That album cover
why are all the sludge bands going pop. it's not cool, like at all
this was great
Im digging this.
Digging: Tiamat - Clouds
They are at the very least consistent.
Still enjoyed most of the songs on here
that album art's pretty cool.
Stripping down in what way? Production? Songwriting?
Songwriting mainly. Just listen to their first few records vs. this.
This is pretty sweet.
rules obviously
Holy shit, I am halfway to my next next 2013 likes list and I only have 1 album to put on it. So many things (this included) are letting me down. The four tracks released before this stream made me think this would be amazing. :/
^ yeah, so many new releases this year by the bands I like and I was looking forward to, were disappointing for me. the only exceptions were Omnium Gatherum, Nails, In Vain and Defeated Sanity, I think they've released the best albums of their careers this year. oh, and Pelagial was great too. but yea, everything else was a disappointment, including this album
Just got it, loving every second of it

Senate leaders have resurrected a handful of election bills that had been stalled amid opposition from Democratic lawmakers and civil rights groups worried about voter disenfranchisement.
Senate President Andy Biggs unveiled Tuesday the election omnibus bill that mirrors a handful of election bills proposed earlier in the legislative session. The bills had previously failed to gain traction in the GOP-led Legislature.
The omnibus bill would allow county election officials to remove voters from the permanent early voting list if they didn't vote by mail in the two most recent general elections. Voters could stay on the list if they returned a completed notice within 30 days confirming their intent to vote by mail in the future.
The bill also says political committees cannot return mail ballots for voters.

Members and friends of the Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA in Peachtree Corners turned out last Saturday to participate in the 15th annual Rock 'N Roll-A-Thon event and raised over $36,000.
Participants this year had the opportunity to cycle, swim, dance and shop to help support our community.
"We are so grateful that our members, community partners, volunteers, staff and guests who believe in the work that the Y is doing to make our neighborhoods a better place for everyone," said Kushuna Exford, Membership and Marketing Director.
"One hundred percent of the proceeds raised will go directly toward funding financial assistance for children and families in our community who otherwise could not afford the cost to participate in the programs and services offered by the Y."
Last year, Fowler YMCA awarded more than $180,000 in scholarships and financial assistance.
Here's just one example of how financial assistance makes a difference in the life of a family:
"My grandson attends the after-school and summer camp programs at Fowler Y. When he came to live with us, we were not in a position to start paying childcare again. If it had not been for the Y's financial assistance program, I would have had to end my work day around my grandson's school hours, which would have lowered our income so much. Because of the Y's financial assistance, our grandson is having fun in a safe place, doing things he enjoys, and they even help with his homework."
There are many, many more stories of how the Y has impacted the lives of children and families said Exford. "The Y can't do its work without the community's generosity. Thank you for helping us as we help our neighbors."
If you'd like to know more about the Y's Annual Giving Campaign, please contact Kushuna Exford, Membership and Marketing Director at email@example.com

The Blue, 11-12
I miss the old days of Oilers blue, where logic and good sense held sway. The Oilers had a nice variety of players and they complemented each other in a way even a fan like me could understand.
Jason Smith for the calm feet, Janne Niinimaa for the offense and quality kids like Eric Brewer coming along. You add a free agent like Steve Staios and a flawed but clear talent like Tom Poti and it all adds up to something. Maybe you have a Sean Brown for depth and really all the bases are covered. It's a nice team on the blue.
In 2001-02, the Oilers rolled the following men at even strength: Janne Niinimaa (18:09), Jason Smith (17:20), Tom Poti (17:40) Eric Brewer (17:06), Steve Staios (14:38), Scott Ferguson (12:20). The club moved players in and out but there seemed to be a logic–a thread of reason–in the moves.
Since 2006 summer the Oilers have been waiting on kids and doing a cut and paste that honestly looks exactly like a cut and paste. Whatever the reasoning the hive mind enjoyed in the early part of the decade, the train of thought has been snapped off, the wand has been broken.
The Oilers decisions on defense don't make sense.
This summer is typical of what the team has been doing for a few years now. The foundation of the blue (which was Niinimaa-Smith with Brewer and Staios rising a decade ago) is Ryan Whitney and Tom Gilbert, with really no one rising. Ladislav Smid fills the Tom Poti role (a prospect with real flaws and despite a lot of NHL games played more project than NHLer), and Jeff Petry may/would fill the Eric Brewer role if they'll let him. I don't think there's a Staios in the group, but maybe I'm wrong.
This summer, the Oilers had an opportunity to add someone to the top 4D. Dollars were available, and they did have some options to add to the top 3 (which I count as Whitney, Gilbert and Smid until Petry arrives). The club would lose UFA's Vandermeer and Strudwick so there were slots available for the new hires and the young kids coming up.
The returning Oilers at even strength this past season (TOI w/5×5 per 60):
- Ryan Whitney 18:19 (1.58)
- Tom Gilbert 18:09 (0.61)
- Jeff Petry 16:54 (0.21)
- Ladislav Smid 16:50 (0.43)
- Theo Peckham 15:58 (0.70)
- Taylor Chorney 13:30 (0.39)
Okay. The club has a couple of veterans with a nice range of skills (Whitney, Gilbert) one of which is a health worry and the other is healthy pretty much all time time. This group is followed by a big man with speed (always a positive) in Laddy Smid–a strict stay at home type. Petry's number doesn't give us much of a clue here but he should be better offensively (the truth is that none of the numbers above are a difference maker save Whitney's and I doubt he could repeat that number in a month of Sunday's). Theo Peckham lurks as a possible solution but would seem to be (at this point) alongside Petry as defenders who could move up but are best served with depth minutes at this time.
So, what would you add to that group? There are two guys the coach can count on, a third who has been trying to get up that hill forever (Smid) and has shown some progress. And you have an older prospect in Petry who could come quickly but is perhaps best suited for the time being on the third pairing. What would you add to that?
Cam Barker and Andy Sutton.
Sutton is somewhat understood–they were offloading Foster and I think both player and team needed a reboot on that situation–and Sutton fills the depth Vandermeer/Strudwick role (we'll have to see how well). Barker is the curio and the things he's probably going to be asked to do–top 4 even minutes, playing against very good NHL forwards every night, playing WITH a player like Ladislav Smid who has some Homer Simpson moments of his own–are perhaps not well suited to Barker's skill set and current situation.
Barker played 14:10 at evens for the Wild one year ago, but he's going to get 17 minutes a night for the Oilers if they slot him as expected. Barker serves some purposes, including backing up Jeff Petry on the depth chart and allowing him to start the season on the third pairng (or in OKC).
Based on what we know about Cam Barker, was that a wise decision? Is he a better player now than Jeff Petry?
In somewhat similar circumstances in the summer of 2001 (the Oilers had parted ways with some veterans like Ulanov and Musil) they signed graduating junior Marc-Andre Bergeron and mid-level free agent Steve Staios. This season they've added Barker, Sutton, Corey Potter and signed the promising draft picks who have turned pro.
The Oilers–at least on defense–don't seem to have the touch enjoyed a decade ago. I don't know what has changed, but it behooves them to get it back in a hurry.

Back Up Your Mobile Phone Contacts with Ubuntu and Bluetooth
Many of the mobile phone providers offer a service to back up your phone contact list online for a monthly fee. It usually costs somewhere around $5 US per month. Why pay this fee when you can back everything up yourself? All you need is a bluetooth enabled mobile phone, a bluetooth adapter for your computer, and Ubuntu. My phone is a Samsung Alias and I'm using the built-in bluetooth adapter in my MSI Wind netbook. You may need to adjust the procedure slightly for your setup.
The bluetooth utilities on Linux are handled by a package called Bluez. The packages are installed by default on Ubuntu Hardy. If for some reason it's not installed, open a terminal and enter the command
Once Bluez is installed and configured you should be ready to start. Plug in your USB bluetooth adapter or turn on your laptop's built-in bluetooth adapter. You should see the bluetooth icon show up in the system tray.
Before going any further you should know that the Bluez utility doesn't have any way to configure the destination for files received. All files will automatically be put on the Desktop, so you may want to clear your Desktop first.
Turn on the bluetooth on your mobile phone and set the phone to discoverable mode. Then, on your computer, right click the bluetooth icon and select your phone and click Connect. Your phone should prompt you to accept the device pairing. Select Yes. You'll then be prompted for a passkey on your phone. Choose whatever simple passkey you want. I use 123. The bluetooth manager on your computer should now prompt you for the same passkey. Click on Enter Passkey and then enter the same passkey in the pop-up and click OK. Your phone and computer should now be paired.
You can now send your contacts from the phone to your computer. On my phone I go to the Contact List, select Options, select Send Name Card, Bluetooth. Then hit Mark All, Done. I then select wind-0 from the list, (that's how my computer shows up), and hit OK. The phone pops up a message that it's connecting and then it starts sending the contact files. Once this is done you can turn off the bluetooth adapter on your phone and computer.
You should now have a bunch of .vcf files on your Desktop. Open the file manager and create a folder for your contact list backup. Go back to your Desktop and select all of the .vcf files. Hit Ctrl+X to cut the files. Go to the file manager and paste the files into your backup folder with Ctrl+V.
5 Responses to "Back Up Your Mobile Phone Contacts with Ubuntu and Bluetooth"
For me (I use Lubuntu) the files went to ~/Public , a better place since I didn't have any other files there. Restoring (as Bill said) works fine with the phone I tried.
I let click on the Bluetooth Icon to the left of the clock. This gives a dropdown menu where I select the phone. This in turn give the choice send files. Now you have a file browser and you select the file. I had to okay receiving the file on the phone
How does one send vCards to the phone?
Thanks a lot! It does what I need.
For KDE users, the KDE Bluetooth Framework is called kdebluetooth.

Click this link for the latest ABC renewal / cancellation information:
- ABC Renew/Cancel Wrap: 'Suburgatory,' 'Trophy Wife,' 'The Neighbors,' 'Mixology,' 'Super Fun Night,' 'Betrayal' Canceled; 'Nashville,' 'Last Man Standing' & More Renewed
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-November 25, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Don't Trust The B in Apt 23
|Happy Endings
|Private Practice
|666 Park Avenue
|Last Man Standing (F)
|Last Resort
|Malibu Country (F)
|The Neighbors
|The Middle
|Once Upon A Time
|Grey's Anatomy
|Modern Family
With nine weeks of the season behind us, I've seen enough of the ratings for The Neighbors, Nashville and Scandal to move them into the "likely renewed" category. As always, future ratings changes can mean prediction changes, stay tuned.
Happy Endings' woeful ratings this season has me close to breaking my own rules about third season shows and moving its current prediction to "likely canceled". It's in a third season that would normally have me keep it as a "toss up" since the syndication gods (and a crazy deal making producer, Sony) have shown an ability to keep even terribly rated sitcoms alive. If I downgrade it in the future, I'll call a technicality in that it won't have the "typical" 66 episodes at the end of its third season.
Last Man Standing and Malibu Country held steady last Friday with 1.4 ratings for both. They've in the "toss up" range for cancellation or renewal by the end of the season. And if their ratings are not done falling, that prognosis may change again very soon.
Sophomore sitcom Don't Trust The B---- In Apt. 23 didn't start well this season, and its ratings completely tanked in its later episodes. It's now certain to be canceled.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Hey are you watching "American Horror Story"?! No? Well I hate your stupid face! Sorry. I didn't mean that. But the FX show has been getting some decent buzz and now Mena Suvari and Kathleen Rose Perkins will both be guest starting on the show. Going to watch now? If you care about our relationship you will.
Teller, the one who doesn't talk in Penn & Teller, is creating a stage adaptation of William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist" which will open in NY next year. The story will focus more on the questions of faith rather than the exoticism itself so it'll be a large change from the movie adaptation. There will also be no spoken parts. Should be interesting.... that last part is a lie.
Corey Feldman is in haunted Halloween attraction flick "Six Degrees of Hell" and I'm 99% sure I wouldn't be talking about it if he wasn't but here's a new trailer for the movie. Enjoy it. Or don't. I'm not the boss of you. And yes I know I've made the same joke before. Thanks for pointing out my flaws.
Bruce Dern leave "Lords of Salem". Bruce Davidson replace. Chris Knight join cast. He was Greg Brady.
A California man won 100 bucks after he lubed himself up and squeezed his ass into one of those tiny toddler swings at a local playground. Of course then his friends ditched him and left him stuck in the swing for hours until someone finally called the fire department to come cut him out. 100 bucks though... a lot of money.
A Los Angeles man is under arrest after he was caught on camera abusing his infant son. The cameras were set up by his wife in an attempt to catch him cheating. So on the plus side he wasn't cheating.
It's been a long strange trip my friends. The original "The Lost Boys" film that was released all the way back in 1987 is pretty much a classic to not just horror fans but to anyone who was smart enough to see the film. Over the next twenty years we saw the rise and fall of the two Coreys, the greasy sax man work his way into pop culture and a much debated sequel titled "Lost Boys: The Tribe". The film did nothing to capture the joy we all felt when we saw the original but it did well enough that in 2010 we now have "Lost Boys: The Thirst".
It's official kids, Rob Zombie's next film will be titled "The Lords of Salem". You want more info? The movie will apparently be about a group of 300 year old witches who wreak havoc on modern day Salem, Massachusetts. Maybe the witches will all have silly accents! Oh wait..
I think we may have talked about this months ago on the site but MTV has finally given David Harris' "Savage County" a release date. The drunk kids in the woods series will air on October 7th at 11PM on MTV2. Thank the cast of "The Jersey Shore" for putting away the condoms for a week in order for this to actually see the light of day.
And it wouldn't be a weekday without some new photos from "Saw 3D" coming online. Today we get to see Cary Elwes as Dr. Gordon and if you were at my house last night around 10:30 you would have seen me realize that's the same guy from the first one and blood shooting out of my temples from rage.
Well tickle my 9 year old self again because Corey Feldman recently dropped some good news that the original "The Lost Boys" will be screening at selected House of Blues locations around the country. Apparently the whole thing will be set up as a big event where fans can come dressed in costume and get a sneak peek of "Lost Boys: The Thirst". Get your greasy sax man outfit ready!
A Hungarian man has found the face of Satan in his bathroom tile. Frightening yes but you have to admit Jesus has been hogging all the toast lately so it's about time the other side got his time in the spotlight.
1993 - A barge strikes a railroad bridge near Mobile, Alabama, causing the deadliest train wreck in Amtrak history. 47 passengers are killed.
Corey Feldman seems to have hated "Lost Boys 2: The Tribe" as much as the rest of us. In a recent interview, the actor discusses why he thinks "Lost Boys 3: The Thirst" will actually be good. While my expectations still run rock bottom, his promises of seeing the Frog Brothers actually together at least sound fun.
"Rubber", a film about a pissed off psychic tire named Robert has been picked up by Magnet for distribution . If you've been dying to see a movie about a killer tire, you'll be set when the movie soon arrives on VOD channels across the country.
NPR correspondent Cory Turner recently took on a personal quest to track down the remains of the mechanical sharks used in the classic "Jaws". The three mechanical monsters were long believed to have been destroyed after shooting had ended for the film but much to Mr. Turner's surprise, will get you arrested.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd broke out of the stodgy interview norm as he refers to the Chinese as 'rodent buggerers', only not so eloquently.
632 - The prophet Mohammed, founder of Islam, dies in Mecca.
If you were worried about the cliff hanger ending of "The Lost Boys 2", fear no longer! Word is that The Lost Boys 3: The Thirst is about to begin shooting! Returning are Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander as the frog brothers. No word on Corey Haim yet and if we're lucky, it will stay that way.
The trailer for Stan Helsing is now online. Packed with some high end humor parodying the likes of Freddy, Jason, Pinhead and Leatherface, this has highbrow written all over it! In actuality, it would appear that the only thing separating this from "Scary Movie 6" is a Wayans brother.
David Cronenberg to remake his own "The Fly" remake. Wait... what? Really? Sadly, yes.
Police find the body of a 51 year old Census worker in a remote field of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. He was found hung with the world "fed" painted on his chest. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
A pair of Tampa Bay Drug offices are caught on camera playing Wii Bowling during a drug raid.
In a lame attempt to make his penis longer, a Costa Mesa man gets it stuck in a steel ring-shaped dumbell weight fastener. The man was in his 50's but otherwise not identified. Still, he's old enough to know...don't stick your penis in weird places!
1780: Benedict Arnold flees to British Army lines after his plot ot surrender West Point is exposed.
"Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre may be the next big foreign slasher film, but if they expect me to do anything but belly laugh when I read about it, they better change that damn name, and fast. Teaser trailer at the link.
Talk about obscure, Fango reports that there is a remake of the UK exploitation film "The House on Straw Hill" underway. The original is apparently still banned in the UK, and deals with a writer in an old house whose assistant turns violent and homicidal.
Mick Garris hopes to be shooting Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" this summer in Maine, however some haggling must first be done, since Maine doesn't offer the kind of incentives that other states do when it comes to filming there.
If you're curious to see how the "House on Sorority Row" remake is coming along (titled just "Sorority Row"), prints of the trailer are reported to be attached to Nic Cage's "Knowing", which hits theaters this weekend. Or you can just wait until Monday when it shows up online. Probably better for your health.
Looks like there's going to be a "Lost Boys III", and Corey Feldman will be producing. Shockingly, he will also be the "focus" of the film. Weird how that works out when you're the producer, huh?
Dan Harris, writer of "X-Men 2" and "Superman Returns" has been picked to write the film adaptation of EA's "Dante's Inferno" game which is currently in development.
Look, I thought it was clear but let's reiterate. If you're a cop and you stop at any restaurant whatsoever, check your food for pubes before you leave with the bag. It will save you the time of having to go back later.
Perv puts "spy camera" inside Starbucks bathroom, forgets to delete picture of himself on the camera. Complete with "is that Paul Ruebens?" mugshot at the link.
This is by far the creepiest/awesomest story of the week. Man loses finger in motorcycle accident, doctors build him a prosthetic one, complete with a built-in USB stick!. Apparently, he's also a Linux user. This is really cool, until of course USB sticks go out of style. Imagine having a floppy disc attached to your fake hand?
1970: Country Joe McDonald (of Country Joe and the Fish) is convicted on obscenity charges after he asks for an F, a U, a C, and one other letter at a concert in Massachusetts.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

NEW YORK (AP) - A New York jury has awarded $30,000 in punitive damages to a black woman who sued her black ex-boss after he unleashed an N-word tirade at her last year.
Brandi Johnson said she was happy after the Manhattan federal jury concluded Tuesday that Rob Carmona must pay $25,000 and his organization Strive East Harlem must pay another $5,000.
Those awards are in addition to $250,000 in compensatory damages that the jury awarded Johnson last week. Carmona wiped his eyes with a towel and appeared emotional as he testified Tuesday. He said he learned his lesson that he must communicate differently than in the past.
Johnson's defense attorney accused him of crying "ghost tears" and urged jurors to award additional damages to show him that "calling somebody the N-word is a very serious thing."

Five Reasons Why Aliens vs. Predator (2010) Beats Colonial Marines FeaturedWritten by Erina Victoria Rose
Aliens: Colonial Marines has managed to piss of scores of people. People are shaking their pitchforks at Gearbox Studios, and rightly so. That definitive Aliens experience that we've all been promised and have been anxiously waiting for never came. There is, however, an alternative and—even though it pains me to say this, it's called Aliens vs. Predator.
That's right. The game that released in 2010, and was destroyed by critics, scored higher than the latest game from the Aliens license. But now, when I look back at Aliens vs. Predator, I realise it wasn't all that bad; it just needed a little more polish. Aliens: Colonial Marines, on the other hand, needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Moving on. Here are five reasons why Aliens vs. Predator is better than Aliens: Colonial Marines:
5. The Graphics
It's really sad when a 3 year old game that's developed by a small studio looks better than a brand new game from a development studio that brought us two Game of the Year worthy titles: Borderlands, Borderlands 2. Aliens: Colonial Marines looks really dated on all consoles and on PC.
4. The Story
Though both games don't really have such great stories, at least Aliens vs. Predator's story is coherent. It doesn't hurt to mention the the dialogue and voice acting in Aliens Vs. Predator is also a lot better.
3. The Campaign
Aliens: Colonial Marines single-player campaign bored me to sleep. There was no suspense. The aliens instilled no fear in me. Felt like a shooter on rails. Aliens Vs. Predator actually made me crap myself from time to time. The aliens are far more threatening. Heck, you can even play as an alien in campaign mode.
2. The Ambience
The ambience in Colonial Marines felt sterile. Alien vs. Predator captured the feel of the Alien and Predator universe quite well. The ambience also adds to the suspense of the game. Harder to spot the aliens, and all that.
1. The Multi-Player
It's sad that there are not enough people playing Alien vs. Predator online. It's actually quite fun once you get a hang of the frustrating controls. Aliens vs. Predator is not as much of a mind numbing grind as Colonial Marines. If you are playing as a marine and want to stand even the smallest chance of survival, you have got to stick with the other troops. Aliens, like I mentioned earlier, are a lot more fun to play and a hell of a lot more threatening. They are quicker, slyer, and jump faster and higher.
Even though both games don't really deliver that ultimate experience you've been waiting for, Aliens vs. Predator certainly comes closer to the cake. Looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for that game they've been waiting for... or they could just play the classic Aliens vs. Predator game on PC.

It's baby squirrel season, and at the South Florida Wildlife Center in Fort Lauderdale, babies from one to three weeks old are being hand fed every three hours. Eyes shut, toes splayed and tiny tummies filling, the babies in the nursery are among the 13,000 animals taken to the Center every year. Each baby squirrel has a dot of toxin-free nail polish on his/her head so volunteers can keep track of who has eaten, who has burped or who has diarrhea. After being fed and stroked so they'll poop (mother squirrels do the same thing), the babies are put back in soft cloth pockets that rest on heating pads.
The Center, which became affiliated with the Humane Society of the Unitd States in 2009, used to be the Wild Bird Center that Bea Humphries started in her garage four decades ago. The executive director is Sherry Schlueter, who learned to care for birds at Bea's side, then became a deputy in the Broward Sheriff's Office, where she initiated the animal abuse beat. She is expert on the link between animal cruelty and human personal interaction, and she created the Special Victims and Family Crimes section of BSO. She helped write the felony animal abuse statute that became state law in 1989. When she retired, she joined the South Florida Wildlife Center, and her director's office is in one of several trailers on the 4.1 acres. Everywhere you look in this trailer you'll find signs that "Petey sleeps in the trashcan…" and "Don't lock the bathroom door or Petey can't get to his litter box." Petey, now 16 or 17, is the gray and white office cat who was a legacy, says Schlueter.
|The hospital for wildlife.
The Center recently changed its landscaping to all native plants and butterfly plants, and a Zebra Heliconian flutters at the porterweed near the hospital entrance. In the hospital, there are three full-time vets on staff, along with veterinary technicians and interns in wildlife medicine who rotate through for training. The Center has 3 ambulances and accepts animals from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The laundry is endless as all the injured wildlife rests on white towels or sheets so technicians and volunteers can watch for blood or any other distressing signs.
The Center also has an adoption program. You may have seen Gonzo, the scarlet macaw, on television showing off his overgrown beak and featherless chest. Gonzo's beak gradually was filed down, and he was adopted last week. There is a trailer of hamsters, gerbils, and other small animals waiting for someone to give them forever homes.
|Recovering brown pelicans.
This week, in addition to the squirrels, the center has several pelicans recovering from surgery for removal of fishhooks and fishing line, a great horned owl, several Cooper's hawks, red-shouldered hawks, a turkey vulture, and three ospreys. Pigeons, songbirds, three night hawks, a Vasa parrot (surrendered, not injured), and Muscovy ducks as well as a limping female quail also were being watched and cared for. Box turtles and fresh water turtles have come in, as well as a bobcat. One of the largest hooks you've ever seen – probably meant to catch shark – was removed from an anhinga and hangs with other surgically recovered fishing flies and hooks in the hospital admissions office. Baby raccoons are in a section by themselves, where they learn to hunt for food. Marsh birds, which are skittish with people, are in a large pen that has screening on the sides to shield them from too much disturbance.
Publix and Whole Foods give the Center produce that may be a little beyond saleable, but fish for the pelicans and bird food must be bought. Injured animals are healed, tagged and sent back to the wild. Adult Muscovy ducks serve as foster mothers to older babies so they can learn ducky behavior before being released.
A couple of pigs and goats have found their way here. While the center won't refuse to help animals, they are hoping that farm animals can be sent to other facilities, leaving more room for wildlife.
The staff of 60 includes several wildlife rehabilitators. Hawks, for instance, must learn to fly a 45 -degree bend in the big flight cage so they can escape predators when released. So once or twice a day, a wildlife specialist nudges them from their perches to fly the turn.
The South Florida Wildlife Center is the largest wildlife treatment facility in the country if you look at intake numbers, but it needs to expand because of the constant stream of animals that bump up against traffic, development, dogs, fishermen, and the rest of the human population constantly squeezing out habitats.
If you find injured or orphaned wildlife, call 954-524-4302 or 866-SOS-WILD.
Scarlet milkweed, Asclepias curassavica, is a perennial sub-shrub from South America, yet because the caterpillars of Monarch and Queen butterflies are always chewing on the plants, they are sometimes even less than annual in my butterfly gardens. The leggy plants are about 2 to 3 feet tall with umbels of bright red/orange or yellow flowers. I've grown them in two different areas: on the east side of the house in a butterfly/bird garden without irrigation, and on the southwest side of the back yard, where, along with the rest of the yard, they are irrigated twice a week.
|Caterpillar safe house.
Last year, the Monarchs found them right away, sipped nectar and laid their eggs. This year, several Queen butterflies, along with the Monarchs, are vying for a place at the table. After chewing the pointy leaves to nubbins, the caterpillars will eat the flowers as well as the thin stems. Some of the plants recover, but a few succumb to the pressure. A dry spring was hard on those in the area without irrigation.
|Milkweed seedlings.
This summer, I decided to buy several containerized milkweeds, rotating one after another into a shade house so its seed pods could mature without being eaten. When we discovered scale on the leaves, milkweeds were banned from the orchid house. That was OK; the pods matured and I collected seed. To germinate them, I removed the silk that normally carries them on a breeze, soaked them in water four a couple of hours, then – following the procedure that Mary Collins uses for her nursery seeds – added a bit of bleach for a few minutes to ward off fungus. One more rinse and the flat seeds were planted just barely below the surface of the peat/perlite on June 30. They now are about 3 or 4 inches tall.
|Jewel-like monarch pupae.
However, since last winter was so mild, the anoles were left unharmed and there are a gazillion of them in the garden. They have been eating the caterpillars as fast as the caterpillars can eat the milkweeds.
I bought a $20 butterfly-rearing house online, and last week installed a large three-gallon container of milkweed inside, complete with a few ½-inch monarch caterpillars. In a week's time, and three milkweed plants later, four caterpillars have pupated and several more are approaching that size. The little green pupae, each with four golden spots, are hanging from the ceiling of the house like jewel cases. I've just returned from the nursery with more milkweeds as we wait for the butterflies and the seedlings to grow.
|When supplies are tight, competition is strong.
After computing hundreds of votes, our Special Events department reports that the mangos with the most flavor appeal are these:
First Place: Kent
Second Place: Mallika
Third Place: Beverly
Close Fourth Place: Duncan
So why didn't Nam Doc Mai garner any ribbons? I think we should hold this thing over again.
|Talking about mangos in the Garden House at the 20th annual mango fest.
There is only one International Mango Festival in the world. And the 20th annual festival at Fairchild proved once more that this fruit is prized above all others in the tropical world.
An hour after the festival opened, the line for the tasting room stretched around the back of the Corbin building to the allee. Inside, Mallika from India and Nam Doc Mai from Thailand were running neck and neck as taste treats.
|Rating the tastiest mangos.
In the Garden House, hundreds of fruits drew admirers as if they were Queen Elizabeth's jewels. Colorful mangos from Africa, South America, India, Malaysia, Israel and Florida begged to be touched, smelled and handled for heft. The wild mangos, tiny and full of genetic promise, were as thrilling to see as the demure Jean Ellen, the red Neldika from Africa and the big fat Keitts.
There were cooking demonstrations, mango talks, and 17 varieties of mango trees for sale, as well as the mango marketplace, food vendors (the mango pie in the Garden House is to die for), food trucks and even mango festival sunglasses for sale. What's better on a hot day in July than a succulent, delicious mango?
|Mango trees awaiting new homes.
First it was in, then it was out, and then it was in again. The Geiger tree (Cordia sebestena) has been

the subject of debate among people devoted to natives: is it or isn't it?
All along, however, this orange-flowering small tree has been minding its own business, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds; growing its sand-papery leaves with aplomb, and finding its way onto more street plantings, as well it should. It flourishes throughout the West Indies and Venezuela, and, some experts argue, in the lower Florida Keys and the southern tip of the peninsula. The tree has a round crown and rough bark, and may grow to about 25 feet tall.
When John James Audubon was in the Florida Keys to paint birds, he depicted white crowned pigeons on a Geiger tree. Key West is known to have been the home of a wrecker named Capt. John Geiger. It was Geiger, in fact, who built the Audubon House in Key West.
When the debate was more vocal on whether the Cordia was native, naturalist Dr. Roger Hammer wrote that the Geiger tree does not behave like an exotic in South Florida, seeding itself thither and yon, but has always been found sparingly in the coastal hammocks. Its salt and drought tolerances, however, are leading humans to plant it more widely.
The brilliant orange flowers occur in clusters at the tips of branches. They are wrinkly or crepe-paper-like, with white stamens creating a contrast to the corollas. Many years ago, I had a seedpod develop on a Geiger, and scarified the hard seeds to plant them. Through the fog of history, I can only remember that at least one germinated and grew because I gave it to a friend who lived near by. While I don't actually recall what happened to either tree, my hunch is that they were killed in the freezes of the late 1980s. The leaves tend to drop in cold snaps. Geiger beetles that chew on the leaves are less likely to feed on a single tree than several planted close together.
|Pineland strongbark is attractive and fragrant.
Small white flowers that occur in clusters of two or three or four and bright orange fruit are the attractions of smooth strongback or pineland strongbark, Bourreria cassinifolia. It is a small-leafed shrub that is pleasing to the eye, good for wildlife and easy to grow. Summer is its time to shine, as it is sprinkled with dots of fragrant white flowers that twinkle like little stars. A native to Miami-Dade and Monroe counties as well as the Caribbean and South America, flowers of this great plant is visited by many butterflies, including Giant Swallowtail, several sulphurs, Monarch, Queen and Julia; by bees and other insects and by hungry birds. Evergreen, Bourreria cassinifolia can be shaped by pruning, or allowed to grow nearly as wide as it is tall, which is on the plus side of 10 to 15 feet. The longer you have it, the more you will like it.

Many of us buy used cars because they're more affordable. But, you want to make sure the price you're paying matches up to the car you're getting. A car with 140,000 miles on it should be a lot cheaper than a car with 70,000. Unfortunately, just looking at the odometer is not enough to know just how many miles that car has traveled. There has been a spike in cases where the odometer is rolled back so that the price can be pushed up. For one college student, she didn't learn about the history of her used car until after she was left stranded by herself in the middle of the night on a Florida highway."My wife woke me up and said, 'Raven is stranded on the side of the road,'" said DeKalb County resident Everett Edwards.Right before Christmas, Raven Joyner went car shopping at East Side Quality Cars and found the car she wanted. But, as she reported in a complaint to the state, less than a month after buying it she made a middle-of-the night call to her parents. Her car had died. "It was dark. I was alone. It was cold and I was afraid of the alligators, and of my mother," said Joyner.Her mom didn't want her to drive the 1999 Acura to Miami to see a football game, and definitely not alone. Mom was worried with a car that had 132,000 miles. If Raven's mother had known the real mileage, she definitely would have put the brakes on this trip. According to a vehicle history report, the car actually had at least 239,000 (239,779) -- the odometer had been rolled back more than 100,000 miles. Odometer rollbacks are a growing problem. Carfax, a vehicle history agency, reports in that in Georgia in a five-year period there was a 122 percent jump in odometer rollbacks.The I-Team spoke with the manager of East Side Quality Cars by phone about the 100,000 mile difference in mileage. The manager says he bought the used car with a broken odometer and replaced it with another one. The I-Team then asked "So, you're saying when you bought this new instrument cluster it had this mileage on it, and you just kept it on it?"He said, yes, that's what happened, but he didn't think he broke any laws because it's an older car -- exempt, he says, by federal law from mileage disclosure. But the Department of Revenue, who oversees the Motor Vehicle Division, sees it differently. A spokesman says if it happened this way, that is fraud. The dealership took the car back and returned Raven Joyner's money after she filed a complaint with the state. So, how easy is it to manipulate the new digital odometers? Equipment and software can be bought online that will rollback odometers, and the equipment is not difficult to use.
Josh Ingle, owner of Atlanta Speedometer, says he gets as many as three calls a week asking him to erase miles on a car before the owner puts it up for sale. He says he'll fix broken odometers but won't fraudulently fudge the miles, but some will. "If the dealer doesn't disclose the proper mileage, you might be in for a late night call," said Edwards.Joyner knows now that she should have gotten a vehicle history report before buying the car. As she says, lesson learned and now she preaches it to her friends.
