Sorry I have been MIA on this blog lately – I have been busy moving to Nashville. I got everything moved down and then I came back home to Indiana to see my nephew for Halloween and then I am in a friend's wedding this coming weekend. But I am still reading and excited to get a library card in Nashville when I get back! (P.S. I am hoping reading is less popular in Nashville. I was legit #800 on the library waitlist for a couple books in Minneapolis!).
Here's what I read last month:
From the author of The Devil Wears Prada, The Singles Game is about the world of professional tennis. Charlie Silver is America's Sweetheart and all around good girl. Until she suffers a serious injury and loses an important game. She then hires an infamously brutal new coach, who wants to change her image and toughen her up – mentally and physically. Suddenly she's in this glamorous world with celebrity stylists, private parties, and secret dates with famous men. But is this a lifestyle she can maintain? This book was very intriguing even though I am not a big tennis fan. It was fun to see inside the fictional life of a professional female tennis player. I really enjoyed this book.
Eligible: A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice
A friend of mine told me about this book. Pride & Prejudice is one of my all time favorite movies so I was actually a little hesitant to read this book but I am so glad I did! This book was fabulous and I could not put it down. I was sucked in from the very beginning and the entire book kept me entertained and I even laughed out loud a couple times. As I was reading, I pictured the characters from the movie and even heard the lines being said in their voices. I cannot say enough good things about this book. If you are a fan of P&P please go get this book NOW!!
I loved Bethany Chase's book The One That Got Away so I was excited to read this one. "Can you ever really know the person you love?" This is the story of Caroline and Adam, high school sweethearts that have been married for ten years, when Caroline discovers Adam has had an affair… with a man. Now she is questioning their entire history and trying to figure out who she is without the relationship that has defined her for most of her life. I think The One That Got Away was my favorite but this one was still good. I read it in about a day because I couldn't put it down (and I may have been procrastinating). I definitely recommend both of Bethany's books!
The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World.
Wow, I did not know how BIG this book was when I requested it from the library. I picked it up and it was like holy moly, this is a long book! But it was so good! The story of three friends – Amanda, Holly and Jen, who are in their late twenties and quit their lives to go on a yearlong trip around the world together. Each chapter was told from a different girl's point of view. They had quite some experiences, especially in the third world countries, and I loved reading all about it! This book was published in 2010 and I am dying to know what the girls are up to now!! If you love travel, this is a great read.
Adventures for Your Soul: 21 Ways to Transform Your Habits and Reach Your Full Potential

Shannon Kaiser is the author of Find Your Happy Daily Mantras, which is also on my list to read. Shannon is an inspirational author, speaker, travel writer, and life coach. She was living her dream of residing in Hawaii while she wrote this book. I felt like I could relate to her a lot, especially with my recent life changes. One of the things included in the book was this list of 20 Things to Let Go Of In Order to Reach Unlimited Happiness, which I love! If you are looking for some inspiration or ways to clear out the negative and be happier, I definitely recommend this book!

Making East Asian Scroll Storage Boxes
Protective housing is essential for the long-term care of East Asian scrolls. Storage boxes are a centuries-old solution that protect fragile artwork from contact, pollutants, light, and pests while creating a microclimate to buffer atmospheric changes. By adapting useful features of traditional wooden scroll boxes to modern, inert conservation materials, we have designed a storage box that provides safe and compact housing, is easily produced with materials available in Western conservation facilities, and is comparatively inexpensive.

Publication: 2014
This document outlines the steps for making a storage box from pre-cut and scored acid-free corrugated board blanks. The box has a tight- fitting, overlapping lid to improve its function as a microclimate and fall-down ends to aid in safe handling of the rolled scroll. Volara sheeting is used to support the length of the scroll. No adhesives are necessary. (Figure 1)
Though a variety of acid-free boards may be used to make this box, pre-cut and scored corrugated board blanks are commercially available. These 96-inch long blanks come in two sizes with an interior height and width of 3 ½ inches or 4 inches. These measurements fit most scrolls with or without a roller clamp.
When constructing a box from these blanks, the box length is easily customized to fit the width of the scroll. (Figure 2)
Two sizes of aluminum templates are used in conjunction with the board blanks to mark and cut the fall-down ends of the scroll box. One type of template is used to cut the ends of the box bottom (right) and another for the box lid (left).
Materials, Tools & Supplies
- Volara
- Corrugated board blanks (available through Hollinger Metal Edge www.hollingermetaledge.com)
- Cutting mat
- Ruler
- Straight edge
- Awl
- Weight
- Bone folder
- Mat knife
- Pencil
- Templates (see below)
Cutting the ends of the box bottom
To make the bottom of the box, align the longer template with the end and both sides of the pre-scored box blank. Use a weight to hold the template in place. (Figure 5)
Use an awl to mark pinholes in the blue board at each of the six holes in the template. These marks will indicate the double lines where the box will be scored and folded to make an end wall. (The arrows indicate where the fold lines will be scored later.) (Figure 6)
Using a mat knife, carefully and precisely cut along the edge of the template. Or, mark the edge with a pencil, remove the template, and cut the edge freehand. (Figure 7)
The arrows indicate the steps and direction for cutting along both sides of the template. (Figure 8)
Be careful to completely cut through the blue board in recessed areas and maintain the detail of angles. It is easier to do this when the tem- plate is removed. (Figure 9)
Once the excess board is detached, the edge should look like this. Note the three key areas indicated by arrows. (Figure 10)
Customizing the length of the box
Measure and mark the length of the bottom of the box. The inside length of the bottom of the box should be the width of the scroll (with knobs) plus ½ to ¾ inches extra to accommodate the double thickness of the box walls. This length is measured from the inside of the recessed area cut with the template (A). Measure and mark this length twice using the scored lines in the blue board as a guide (B). (Figure 11)
The red dots indicate pinholes that mark the length of the box bottom. This length is the width of the scroll including knobs plus ½ to ¾ inches. (Figure 12)
Turn the template around and align the inner straight edge of the template with the pinhole marks. Cut along the template (as before) to make the second end of the box. (Figure 13)
Compress and smooth all the cut edges of the box with a bone folder on both sides of the board. (Figure 14)
Align the straight edge with the single and double pinhole marks at the end of the box. Score each line with the tip of the bone folder. Fold over the end flap (A) along these double lines to make one end of the box. Repeat this process at the other end of the box. (Figure 15).
Align the straight edge with the recessed cuts. Score and fold along this line with the bone folder. Fold up the end of the box along this crease to about 90 degrees. Repeat at the other end of the box. (Figure 16)
Fold along the double scored lines on the long sides of the box (A) to make double thick walls. (Figure 17)
Insert the quarter round tabs (A) into the double-walled sides of the box. (Figure 18)
Fold flap (B) over to make the end wall of the box. Repeat at the other end of the box. (Figure 19)
Trim a pre-cut blue board insert (3 ½-inches or 4-inches wide) to the inside length of the box. This will help stabilize the bottom of the box. These inserts come with the blue board blanks. (Figure 20)
Making the lid for the storage box
Align the box lid template with the end and both sides of the pre-scored lid blank. Use a weight to hold the template in place. Mark the six pin- points (A) with an awl and cut or mark along the edges of the template on both sides as before. (Figure 21) NOTE: The inside length of the lid should be approximately ½ to ¾ inch longer than the outside length of the box bottom to accommodate the thickness of the box walls.
Remove the template to cut recessed areas cleanly. Smooth the newly cut edges with the bone folder on both sides. (Figure 22)
Align the straight edge along the single and double pinhole marks. Score both lines with the tip of a bone folder or awl. Repeat at the other end of the box. (Figure 23)
Fold up the long sides of the lid along the single scored lines (A). Fold tabs (B) to 90? and double flap (C) over the tabs (B) to make one end of the lid. The flap (C) should fit snugly. Repeat at the opposite end of the lid. (Figure 24)
Pull out the fall-down end walls of the box part- way and place the rolled scroll in the box (left). Close the end walls to confirm that the scroll fits easily in the box. Though a scroll may be wrapped in unbleached cotton muslin and stored in the box, the addition of a Volara cradle will better support and protect the scroll. (Figure 25)
When folding is complete, the box will look like this (Figure 26).
Making the volara cradle
Volara is an inert, closed-cell foam sheeting that comes in ¼-inch thickness. Measure and cut a sheet of Volara to fit the inner length of the box. (Figure 27)
For a 3 ½-inch wide box, the Volara should be cut 7 inches wide. For a 4-inch wide box, the Volara should be 8 inches wide to form the correct U-shaped cradle. (Figure 28)
A Volara cradle set into the box will support the scroll along its entire length and help stabilize the scroll when the box is handled. (Figure 29)
The completed box (with lid) will look like this (Figures 30 and 31)). Notice that the lid overlaps the side of the box more than halfway, giving it added strength and improving its function as a microclimate. (Figure 32)
4-inch box bottom. Template not to scale. (Figure 33)
4-inch box top. Template not to scale. (Figure 34)
3 ½-inch box bottom. Template not to scale. (Figure 35)
3 ½-inch box top. Template not to scale. (Figure 36)

This is the hilarious moment Countdown brainbox Rachel Riley was forced to spell out the word "bumhole".
Linguistics expert Susie Dent was embarrassed to admit to host Nick Hewer she was able to beat the previous five-letter offering of 'bulge'.
It would have scored seven points on Monday's show.
It was discovered by Dent who was accompanied on Dictionary Corner by Janet Street-Porter, who refused to spell out the word to Hewer and said: "I can't say it."
"Ok, lets get it over quickly.," Dent said. "Bumhole is there."
Hewer raised an eyebrow and said: "Bumhole? It's going to be one of those days is it?"
Summing up the surprise many Twitter users felt, Callum Chetwynd said: "Why has the word 'bumhole' just been used on Countdown. And who knew it was one word!"

Shiozaki loses match but not World Title in Melbourne
Tyler Black was unable to appear in Melbourne last night due to a strange set of occurrences that left him stuck in Atlantaâ<80><99>s Hartsfield Airport for much of Friday afternoon and evening. It seems Tyler received a phone call yesterday morning informing him of a weather related delay in his scheduled flight from Moline, Illinois due to sever weather that had pounded the Midwest. When Tyler arrived at the airport he found that his flight had in fact left at itâ<80><99>s scheduled time, and he was stuck scrambling for a new flight into Florida. He was able to get a flight to Atlanta but unable to get on board a connecting flight to Orlando in time to make it for his scheduled FIP World Title Match vs. Go Shiozaki.
When news of Tylerâ<80><99>s inability to appear for his scheduled match Heartbreak Enterprisesâ<80><99> Sean Davis declared a night off for his champion Go Shiozaki, however FIP officials thought otherwise. Shiozaki was ordered to defend his title in a 3 way match against the last 2 men to wear that title Erick Stevens and Roderick Strong. It was a hard hitting matchup that saw all 3 men brutalize one another, and just as it seemed the FIP title was about to slip through the grasp of Heartbreak Enterprises, Head of Security Phil Davis interrupted the referees count causing Shiozaki to be disqualified.
Unfortunately, due to Sean Davisâ<80><99> changing of the FIP Title Match rules last week, the title may no longer change hands on a countout or disqualification, and Shiozaki retains the FIP Title.
Tyler Black is still the #1 contender and will get his title match TONIGHT in Crystal River, much to the dismay of Sean Davis who said, â<80><9c>Tyler Black had his chance and he blew it. Couldnâ<80><99>t even be bothered to show up for his one and only chance at the World Title, well if he thinks heâ<80><99>s getting a shot at this belt tomorrow he is sadly mistaken.
Shocking announcement of Tag Team Title Match tonight in Crystal River!
Based upon their performance tonight in Melbourne, FIP officials have awarded the open contract for the FIP Tag Team Title match in Crystal River to Erick Stevens and Roderick Strong.
When reached for comment in the locker-room after the show, both Stevens and Strong had little to say on the subject. Stevens only mustering a, â<80><9c>You have got to be kidding me right?â<80> with Strong issuing no comment whatsoever.
Nonetheless these two will face FIP Tag Team Champions Kenny King and Jason Blade of the YRR in Crystal River with the gold on the line.

India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will soon have his long locks back.
Dhoni, who was in Kolkata for a promotional event, chose not to speak about cricket and mostly talked about his passion for bikes and his hair.
Sporting a white shirt, Dhoni told the gathering that his bald look, immediately after winning the World Cup last year, was in no way related to some offering to God.
"I'm growing my hair again. People said that I shaved my hair because of some 'mannat'. But actually I wanted a lean look with the summer approaching so I decided to go bald," Dhoni said.
Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf had become a Dhoni admirer during India's tour of 2006 and had suggested that he should not get a haircut since he looked good in long hair.
At the event, Dhoni also revealed how his fascination for bikes started.
"There used to be the old Rajdoot motorcyles in 'Hero'... I really liked the model. I still have about eight of them," he said.
Known for his cool demeanour, Dhoni further said that the team discusses petty things even during matches.
"People often ask what we discuss in the middle of a high-voltage match. But we generally talk about what's there for food at hotel...," he smiled.
Dhoni also stumped the gathering with his rendition of 'Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon' from the movie 'Kabhie Kabhie'.

I have no idea why that's the title of this post. It was stuck in my head.
Okay, so we're mostly packed. Just a few loose ends to toss into the suitcases. I'm exhausted and have pink hair. Well, just a few strands are pink, thanks to my hair dresser (yes, on purpose) and it's not too noticeable unless you're in good light. It's pretty though. Apparently, with the nose ring and the pink hair, I'm hitting mid-life crisis early. I was also invited to go get a tat in San Francisco next week so… I'll try to get a picture of the pink hair before it fades (it's very temporary and will be mostly gone by the time I hit San Fran) but I'm not sure when I'll be able to post it. Maybe tomorrow from the hotel because I've been informed that there will be no cell reception where we're camping this weekend. Whee! That means no wireless air card reception either so I can blog. Major bummer.
In the meantime, be bad and be good at it.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary ticket and my family received discounted tickets to Sesame Place. Of course, all opinion are my own.
Last summer, my husband and I took our kids to Sesame Place for the first time. They had a ball. At the time my son was 4 and my daughter was a few months shy of turning 2. Sure, Mother Nature played a role in how awesome the experience was because we could not have asked for better weather, but it was really more than the weather that left an impression; it was the Sesame Place experience.
Because the kids had such a great time, there was no question we wanted to do the trip again this summer, and we did. As I can be a bit paranoid, I was scared that last year we just had a lucky day and that this experience could possibly be a disaster. I was wrong because we had another amazing Sesame Place experience.
I could go through a list of rides and tell you what my kids loved most, but I won't do that because all kids are different and you will only know what your kids will love once you get there. However, what I will say is this:
- The staff is incredibly nice
- The amusement park (including the restrooms) is well kept
- The parade is tons of fun
- Nothing beats the smiles you'll see on your kids' faces.
When I read about an experience, sometimes I want to know specific details, but typically I just need two questions answered: Is this place worth my time? and Will I feel good when I leave?
I have to say that Sesame Place was worth every minute of our time and we all felt great when we left. We were exhausted for sure, but the kids were so happy that my husband and I could not stop smiling because they had such a great day.
So what made things so great?
The Water Rides
With options for both kids who are adventurous and those who are a little shy about being splashed, the water rides available throughout the park are tons of fun and a great way to cool down on a hot day. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun all four of us had on Sky Splash. It was awesome.
The Neighborhood Party Parade
This parade is just an incredible experience for kids. The singing, dancing, floats, and excitement is enough to make any kid (or adult) start doing the running man (what, people don't randomly do that anymore?). The amazing team at Sesame Place also does a great job of giving the kids a magical experience. What a blast!
The Characters
From Big Bird to Oscar to Elmo himself, getting a chance to meet and hug some of their favorite characters is an experience they will remember for years. And despite the number of people present, it's not difficult to get pictures with your favorite characters. Check out this shot with Cookie Monster. #MommySelfie
The Staff
I have to say the staff at Sesame Place is awesome. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I was also impressed that the bathrooms were well taken care of. That's always a major plus at any amusement park (actually, that's a major plus anywhere I take my kids).
The Location
Sesame Place is centrally located, making it a relatively short ride from New York City, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Plus, when you visit you are just a short drive from Philadelphia and you can easily turn it into a weekend adventure. The location also makes it a great year-round family destination because even if you don't make it there for some summer fun, you can take a fall road trip and still have a great time.
What I also love about Sesame Place is that they offer so many rides that your little one will have fun no matter what excites them. From Cookie Monster Land to The Count's Splash Castle, my kids truly enjoyed every single moment. The Neighborhood Birthday Party Night Parade that took place right before the park closed was just icing on top of the cake. With plenty of action, lights and music for the kids to enjoy, it was a nighttime experience they'd never had before.
And although it's already late August and you may be thinking about back-to-school stuff instead of amusement park trips, I have to urge you to consider Sesame Place even after the summer months. First, to wrap up the summer fun they offer a Back-to-School Bash Dine on August 29th and 30th as well as their Labor Day BBQ and Fireworks on September 5th and 6th.
Once the warm months are officially over you also can visit for The Count's Halloween Spooktacular and a Very Furry Christmas. These are just a few of the activities they offer when the weather cools down.
So whether you are trying to enjoy a few water rides while it's still hot outside, or you plan to do something fun for Labor Day or the upcoming holidays, Sesame Place will offer an experience that leaves your little ones happy and exhausted. As a mom, I know that's exactly how I want my kids to feel after a daylong experience. What about you?

The Brown-hooded Parrot (Pyrilia haematotis) is a small parrot which is a resident breeding species from southeastern Mexico to north-western Colombia. Until recently, it was placed in the genus Pionopsitta, which now is restricted to the type species, the Pileated Parrot. It is sometimes considered conspecific with the Rose-faced Parrot (P. pulchra). This species has been adversely affected by deforestation.
It is found in lowlands and foothills locally up to 1600 m altitude in forest canopy and edges, and adjacent semi-open woodland and second growth. The white eggs are laid in an unlined nest, usually a natural cavity in a tree.
Although their range extends from Mexico to northern Colombia, the easiest place to see this beautiful parrot is at Laguna del Lagarto Lodge in Costa Rica. Use an award to Central America to get to San Jose, then the lodge has a shuttle to transfer you there. It's quite a remote area.
This species is presumed to have declined over much of its range due to deforestation, but it is still rated as "least concern" by IUCN.

If Rubber (2010) were solely about a tire that comes to life and kills people, it would be tough to care for more than 10 minutes. What elevates the movie above a one-joke premise are the scenes that play out in the margins.
But let there be no mistake. Rubber is definitely about a tire. And the tire does come to life and kill people, carrying to extremes the notion of inanimate object as homicidal maniac that fuelled the movies Christine (bad car) and Child's Play (bad doll).
The tire pulls itself up from the dirt, falls down a few times and, for reasons known only to itself, uses its telekinetic powers to blow up a rabbit. When the thrill wears off, it explodes the heads of any human beings rash enough to treat it like a tire.
Even tires have feelings, evidently, including a capacity for unrequited love with a woman (Roxane Mesquida of Fat Girl and Sex Is Comedy) spotted at a desert motel.
Why this particular tire has feelings is not explained. All we are told is that the tire is played by Robert, but since Robert in French sounds like "rubber," this assurance should be treated with caution. Quentin Dupieux, the director (and cinematographer, editor and writer), is French. The film itself is in English and was shot in the California desert.
The movie begins as a police officer (Stephen Spinella) delivers, straight to camera, the deadpan assurance that everything in life happens for no reason. "In Love Story, why do the two characters fall madly in love with each other? No reason. In Oliver Stone's JFK, why is the president suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason."
It turns out the officer is addressing not the film's viewers but a group of people in the desert who, binoculars in hand, are about to watch the tire's story from a safe distance. Well, not an entirely safe distance, but let's not get into that.
Dupieux is toying not only with the conventions of sci-fi and horror movies but with the vocabulary of films within films and the interaction of audiences and material. After the tire has rolled along for a while (a combination of remote control and manipulation just out of frame), a boy in the crowd says, "It's already boring." His father admonishes him, implicitly reassuring audience members who might feel the same way. "Don't be so negative. It's just the beginning. It'll pick up."
Jack Plotnick, who plays a pivotal role as a character capable of crossing between the story of the tire and the spectators in the desert, says Dupieux shot quickly over 14 days and was so sure of what he wanted, and so enthusiastic about the project, that cast members would have followed him anywhere. "It was just a joy." He pauses. "What wasn't a joy was filming in the desert at 4 a.m. in the freezing cold."
Hey now, you didn't see the tire complaining about the cold. And trust me, that tire knows how to register a complaint.
True Grit (2010)
The part of ornery U.S. marshal Rooster Cogburn is award bait. John Wayne won an Oscar for the role in the 1969 film, and Jeff Bridges was nominated for playing Cogburn in Joel and Ethan Coen's remake. But at the heart of the western is Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), a 14-year-old girl determined to avenge her murdered father. The Coens' film is truer to the way Charles Portis's novel tells her tale. Steinfeld (nominated for a supporting Oscar) had a major advantage over Kim Darby, who played Mattie in 1969. Steinfeld had plenty of experience riding horses. Darby couldn't stand to be near them.
Another Year (2010)
Several characters weave in and out of the lives of Tom (Jim Broadbent) and wife Gerri (Ruth Sheen) as the seasons change, but Gerri's twice-divorced co-worker Mary (Lesley Manville) tears at the fabric. Struggling to appear upbeat, but revealing herself as lonely and desperately unhappy, she is the guest who keeps on giving grief. Leigh has said he seeks to capture "those precise, distilled, fundamental and essential moments" in human relationships. As usual, his fine cast obliges him.
American: The Bill Hicks Story (2009)
Described by one interview subject as "an all-or-nothing guy," U.S. comedian Bill Hicks channelled his emotions, particularly his anger, into stand-up routines that earned him a reputation as a comic's comic. Just as he was achieving broader success, he was diagnosed with cancer in 1993 and died soon after. This tribute-cum-biography covers his life from childhood on. Bonus features in the two-DVD set include extended interviews and additional clips of his performances.

Now that the thousands of Muslims are invading Europe and settling up in countries with the most dynamic economic growth, it is but befitting, for a fellow formerly-European and a westerner – whose former country was bombed by these Western states because Islam wanted it – to share a few things, here and there, about Islam and Muslims who come into midst of a territory that isn't Islamic yet.
So here is a general, free, friendly guide to Islam, borne of experience, as to what Islam is and what Muslims want in Europe:
1) What is the difference between "moderate" Muslims and the "radical" Muslims?
Moderate Muslims are the ones that haven't killed an atheist or a Christian yet but are in a cheerful process of doing so either by denying that they will do so when appropriate social atmosphere arises or are denying that such people are being killed already and are accusing you of Islamophobia if you state the fact that Muslims kill people like that.
2) Isn't Islam a religion of peace?
The Muslim peace is suppose to happen only after all of those who are not Muslims are exterminated. Until then, non-Muslims are supposed to say that Islam is a religion of peace until the atmosphere is set for them to die so that the "peace" is to be established after all these non-Muslims are dead.
3) Aren't the new Muslim migrants good for economy because they will produce and partake in the job market?
Islam has always set their target on the most productive of Empires in order to plunder them. Persia was the wealthiest Empire until Muslims invaded it and sucked it dry. Hindu kingdoms of Afghanistan and Pakistan were likewise very wealthy kingdoms until the Muslim horde invaded, killed, looted and genocided the Hindus in those areas. Byzantium has lived the same fate: gone from the wealth gem to a hell hole. So the next Muslim target is to plunder all of Europe because there is nothing to plunder in the Middle East.
4) Isn't Islam tolerant of other religions?
Tolerance in Islam and tolerance in the West are two different legal things. For a Muslim to tolerate you, it means he will not kill you because you provide some economic advantage to Islam such as: you are a slave, he rapes your daughters, he takes away your sons to rape them in a harem, he confiscates your property, and he has sex with your wife at will… As soon as you are no longer of any economic use, Muslims will dispose of any non-Muslim.
5) Aren't you exaggerating about everything that you have said above?
No I am not.
Anyway, for all of those Europeans who are rejoicing that their new Muslim majority is arriving into their country… well, good luck being alive.

HTC ThunderBolt ReviewHTC ThunderBolt
HTC ThunderBolt is with the call quality. The sound is decent for the most part, however there's a bit of buzzing if we turn the call volume all the way up with someone talking. At this point we're not sure if all ThunderBolts have this problem, or maybe this is just a bad batch, but it is something to look for and try out if you are thinking about purchasing one. Aside from that, we could also hear a continual background "hiss".
Signal reception remained good around south FL, and showed 2-3 bars most of the time, though we're not sure if it is showing an indicator just for 4G 700 MHz reception, or is also taking into account standard voice cellular 800/1900MHz reception.
The included 1400mAh battery seems a bit small for a device with such a large screen and 4G LTE data, though it is rated to get up to 6 hours of talk time or 13 days of standby time on a full charge. During our testing over the past few days, we have been able to get up to 7 hours of talk time on a fully charged battery with no data used in the background. But when doing normal mixed usage, which includes some talk time, web browsing, social networking, and using other applications, we could only get about 5-6 hours total before the battery required charging. So it appears to us that the combination of the 4G data, large display, and 1GHz processor will eat through battery time. Verizon does sell a larger 2750mAh capacity battery on their accessories page for $49, which heavy users may be interested in trying out.
We ran a few benchmarking programs on the ThunderBolt to see how well it would stack-up to the DROID X. With Quadrant benchmark, the ThunderBolt got up to 1863, though sometimes would drop down to 1450 (probably because there was another app using the CPU in the background), while the DROID X was usually around 1350-1420. When we ran NeoCore, the Thunderbolt would get between 57-60 fps, with the DROID X at 30-40 fps. And finally we ran AnTuTu Benchmark, which got 1839-1841 on the ThunderBolt and DROID X.
There's a lot to like about the HTC Thunderbolt – fast web browsing and data speeds, Sense user interface, ample 4.3" display, 8MP camera, 32GB memory card, and overall snappy performance thanks to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. If you're in need of the newest and fastest smartphone now, the ThunderBolt is clearly the best choice out there for Verizon. But our two concerns are with the buzzing we heard in the earpiece speaker, and with the color difference we saw with the displays of the two units we received. Because of this, we'd recommend at this point you purchase it from a local store so you can see and try it out there. Just in case it has any issues, you can exchange it on the spot. But if you aren't in a major rush, we'd suggest waiting a while, as there are three other LTE phones coming out in the next few months, and it's hard to tell at this point which one may turn out to be the best. With that said, yes, guys, it is super-awesome to use data with Verizon's brand-new 4G LTE network, and the HTC ThunderBolt makes the experience even better.
Software version of the reviewed unit: Android 2.2.1, Build 1.12.605.6, Kernel 184.108.40.206 Sat Feb 19 2011

Mine also has a little static/buzz when the earpiece is turned all the way up... however i will say, that when turned all the way up, the volume is just way too loud. Its almost speakerphoneish. I have mine turned down to the half way mark. Not bc the quality, just bc the volume level.
as for my battery, i just got rid of my Incredible for this phone, and i think this battery is actually holding up better than my incredibles was.

the review states that the Thunderbolt is much faster than the Droid X loading web pages, yet you have a video on the site showing a real time comparison where the conclusion was that they were about the same speed. Can you explain this?
5. AstroStrat89 (unregistered)
I think they stated that all the flash content was turned off on the X.
4. Tre-Nitty (Posts: 470; Member since: 16 Nov 2010)
Exactly, the Droid x killed the thunderbolt. Stop trying to make this phone better than it is.
7. Rejeimha (Posts: 18; Member since: 29 Jul 2010)
Go back and read the update on the comparison test. They admitted that the DX was rooted in order to remove the flash ads from the browser, and the Thunderbolt was keeping up with it out of the box even though it wasn't rooted.
18. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
i said on that comparison test and ill say it again. give it up tre-nitty.... your overwhelming bias is very apparent. its clear that anything you say regarding verizon should just be over looked. you have made up your mind already before the facts are out. thank you PA for letting the truth be known. i had previously said PA is the fox news of phones by how they tried to slam the thunderbolt and verizon with their faulty speed test comparioson and although i wont take back my comment i will commend you for letting us know the actual speed comparison in this review.

my cons so far... (upgraded from Eris)
It's just silly I can't charge and use the kick-stand
Screen is washed out in sunlight, Eris wasn't great either
Seem to be some very minor network "glitches" where the conx needs to reset or something. (update fix?)
cost, If I hadn't had a $100 NE2, i would have never gotten one.
Some pre-installed apps are annoying.
Would like a camera button.
Things I like
Screen otherwise is very nice to look at.
Eye popping 4g speeds
Very snappy even when running lots-o-apps
Sense upgrades are nice and useful.
LED under ear piece grid makes nice pattern on the ceiling in the dark :-)
Kickstand more useful then I thought
I think the camera is better then most give credit, the flash worked well for me.
I like the weight my self, feels nice in the hand
Free hotspot til May 15th! Sweet.
Things people need to relax about.
Battery life, give it time and I'll bet battery life will get better. The Eris was bas at 1st too. Also it seems to be the screen that's eating the battery. Not the 4g, but what do I know?
not dual core, I know two is better, but how much more battery will that take, and are you running a web server or something? Geeze.
No HDMI, really? Realllyyy? use the stream Luke.

I played around with it. The speeds are impressive.
9. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
coming from you dude thats a complement
10. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I'm not the troll. You sniggly and the rest of the Apple bashers are the trolls. I have no problems with android phones. I'm happy with my iPhone and at the same time realize other companies make good phones. I don't need to bash everyone that doesn't want the same phone as me.
11. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
that was a nice comment
12. Kjayhawk (Posts: 294; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
I agree, I hate when people bash the iPhone just because its an iPhone. I get even more pissed off though when Apple fanboys get in an argument that makes no sense and act like they know what they are talking about, same goes for android fan boys. I don't pay attention to who is who, but overall I agree with your argument, things just get plain annoying
15. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I'll Give you thumbs for saying you aren't a troll, and I'll try not to strike you, but sometimes you do look like one.
bout calling me troll, I don't think I go brainlessly bashing against apple, But i can be proven wrong. I have to say they(Apple) produce pretty darn good stuff, I just hate when people brag calling other peoples tech trash or useless crap and start doing the 1 vs 100 comparison among other I say the apple VS android is a win loose comparison with anyone you win something and loose something.

I returned mine today. I was only getting about 3 hours of battery life and the phone was actually running hot in temperature. The google maps and any other "navigation" app were totally off and not accurate. Don't get me wrong; the phone has great DL speeds in the Dallas, TX area. I just can't deal with the battery life and having to charge it up to 3 times per day. Also, the phone said it came with 8GBs; after a couple of apps downloaded I was down to 2GB. Maybe the Bionic will hold it down.
19. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
it sounds like you had a deffective phone buddy..... maybe you should of just exchanged since you still had 11 days to try it.
24. Nunez20v (Posts: 14; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
Maybe I did have a defected phone; just as well as 4 other people that same day @ Verizon (including the rep himself). But I guess that's why they offered the 14 day worry free return policy right? =)
37. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
yeah or maybe your lying.... i have the thundrbolt my sister has the thunderbolt my mom has the thunderbolt.... thinking about getting grandma the thunderbolt..... none with problems you speak of. and it looks like those problems cant be as widespread as you say or there would have been a recall by now. battery is nothing special but clearly 3 hours is not what should happen. i get about 20 hours of battery a day using it very frequent. lucky for me im not awake 20 hours a day. you suck troll!
39. Nunez20v (Posts: 14; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
I suck troll? WTF is this, kindergarden? I chose not to keep a phone because of its performance and the issues it provided. I just went back to my simple and very effective BlackBerry Curve. Obviously you've read continuous posting on the battery life. If they haven't had a recall for the device they probably will in a couple of months. Look at everyone trying to figure out how to turn this off and turn that off yet not being able to enjoy the full functionalities of the phone. What's the purpose of pocketing out $250 if I can't even enjoy it?
25. theo14461 (unregistered)
Returned mine also. Great display, good call quality, nice build and feel, horrific battery life. Would drain 20% in about an hour of "normal use"
27. theo14461 (unregistered)
I'd like to update my last comment. I must have had a defective TB, exchanged it for another, and battery life is MUCH better.
41. bugsbite (unregistered)
The phone is not defective we just got the phone yesterday and only getting 3-4 hours of battery time and it does run hot, I have no clue how tragichero is getting 20 hours ( maybe running 3G?). Do a Google search this is a known problem.
Will return promptly..............
14. griffin2003 (unregistered)
Regarding downloading apps, doesn't the phone have a 32GB SD card? Can't that be used for apps?
Battery Life -
If you remove the Sim card, does the phone work as a 3G phone? If it does, this would allow testing if the 4G or the display is the source of the battery drain?
In addition, when we had dual digital / analog phones, if you were in a weak area, the battery would drain faster as the phone searched with high power analog transmit to snag a tower. What happens with the 4G channel when you are not in a 4G area? Does the phone burn more battery trying to find towers that are not there? These might not be questions for the Thunderbolt alone, but for all the new 4G phones.
20. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
the phone wont work on 4 or 3g if the sim is out so that test wont work. it needs the sim. yes it uses battery looking for 4g network while in 3 g but using the term burn or drain is an overstatement.... hardly anything at all. the phone shouldnt get only 3 hours and if it took up that much memory its clear nunez just bought a defective phone
16. etownone (Posts: 40; Member since: 25 Jul 2010)
Now i'm hearing rumors or the Droid Bionic being released mid April ...
and my upgrade is on march 31, and i was set on getting the TB.
Mostly every review complains about battery life ... and recommends to wait for the Bionic.
i was so ready to upgrade to the TB ... especially since Verizon might get rid of that unlimited data plan ... but now i'm thinking to take a chance and wait for the Bionic.
bigger battery, dual core CPU, HDMI, qHD screen, and the option of a laptop dock in the future.
22. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
im waiting for the bionic too. its the best phone to be realeased at least in the first half of this year maybe the whole year
23. LionStone (Posts: 908; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Yea, it'll be interesting to do some comparison testing with the T-Bolt and Bionic. The TB is very quick, and like the article stated I also clocked about 18 seconds to download Angry Birds...under 30 seconds to download and install. Near SFO area, 11mbps down and 4 up.
The display is clean and sharp and Sense UI I think looks great and feels polished. It does have a good heft to it and I like that. I can definitely be happy with this phone for the next two years. Im coming from the Incredible so sound quality is much better. I don't notice the sound difference with the kickstand open or closed, it sounds great either way.
Hopin for some Netflix and Skype video/chat in the near future, will try Tango...still need to test dlna...Mine also says only 2 something gb available, so I need to go in to see about that one.
17. griffin2003 (unregistered)
According to the review in Phone Scoop, the battery drain is caused by using 4G and in an area without 4G, the battery life was much better. They promised numbers soon.
I also found a comment that I cannot find again that said you can dial a particular number (some sort of support number) and force the network preference to CDMA. This seems pretty drastic, but without control on the phone itself, it would all you to save the rest of the battery in desperate situations.
21. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
DO NOT DIAL *228 on the thunderbolt unless you want to DESTROY YOUR SIM CARD. if you dial that number your sim card will be obsolete and you will have to get a new one. sheesh

Brexit would mean Ryanair investing more in Ireland: O'Leary
Ryanair will shift investment from Britain to countries including Ireland if UK voters decide to ditch their membership of the European Union, chief executive Michael O'Leary has warned.
Mr O'Leary was speaking at Stansted Airport outside London yesterday as British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne opened a new training centre for the airline.
"Let me put it simply, if Britain isn't a member of the EU these investments, these jobs will be going to other countries," said Mr O'Leary. "That's why Ryanair is campaigning so strongly for Britain to remain in the EU."
He insisted that airfares out of the UK could also rise if it leaves the EU.
Mr Osborne welcomed Ryanair's battle against Brexit, and told the airline's staff at Stansted - which is Ryanair's biggest base - that he will "fight passionately" for his belief.
"Leaving the EU is a one-way ticket to a poorer Britain," he told his audience yesterday.
He also warned that the UK risked losing £200bn (€254bn) a year in trade, and the same amount in overseas investment over the next 15 years, if the electorate opts to ditch its membership of the European Union.
Ryanair has installed four flight simulators at Stansted that will train its pilots.
The airline intends to create about 1,000 more jobs this year, as it swells its ranks of pilots, cabin crew and engineers.
It said that 450 of those jobs will be added at its 13 UK airport bases as it enlarges its fleet.
The airline handled 36 million passengers in the UK last year, a figure it expects to hit 41 million this year. It carried 107.4 million passengers in the 12 months to the end of March.
Mr O'Leary said the type of investment the airline unveiled yesterday would be lost to the UK if it leaves the trading bloc.
He said that countries including Ireland and Germany would benefit from more Ryanair spending if a Brexit went ahead.
"It is exactly this type of investment that will be lost to other competitor EU members if the UK votes to leave the European Union," he said. "We are calling on everyone to turn out in large numbers and vote 'Remain' on June 23. I am absolutely certain that the UK economy is better off in Europe".
He added: "The single market has enabled Ryanair to lead the low fare air travel revolution in Europe, as we bring millions of British citizens to Europe each year, and welcome millions of European visitors to Britain." Mr Osborne said that British jobs and livelihoods benefit directly from being in the EU.
"As Ryanair recognise, we're stronger, safer and better off in the European Union," he said.
"Attracting the investment Britain needs from around the world in order to keep growing and creating good jobs here at home is key if we are to create lasting economic security for working people."
Polls have shown that voters tend to think that staying in the European Union would be better for Britain's economy.
But they also remain almost evenly split between those who want to stay in the bloc and those who want to leave the European Union.
As part of a relentless series of warnings about the economic risks of Brexit, Mr Osborne's finance ministry is due to publish a report on the short-term impact of an 'Out' vote soon.

Credit Lyonnais, U.S. Bank and Citibank have joined on the refinancing for Arch Coal and Arch Western Resources at the co-documentation level. J.P. Morgan and PNC Bank are leading the deal and a banker familiar with the syndication said J.P. Morgan has committed $70 million and PNC bank $90 million. Documentation agents have committed $60 million each to the deal. An additional commitment has been received from Bank of New York. The $525 million "B" has already gained more than $100 million after launching on March 5, with Van Kampen and IDM among the buyers.
The loan comprises a $350 million, five-year revolver for Arch Coal, which can be upsized to $400 million. The spread is LIBOR plus 1 3/4% based on a grid. At the Arch Western level, there is a five-year $150 million "A" term loan priced at 2 1/2% not on a grid, and the $525 million term loan "B" is also priced at LIBOR plus 2 1/2%. Early indications were the spread would be LIBOR plus 2 3/4% on the "B," but strong buyside interest produced the tighter spread, said the banker. The closing leverage is less than three times. Bankers expect the deal to do well, considering the BB profile of the credit and the paucity of new issuance for the buyside.
The credit refinances existing debt incurred during the merger with Ashland Coal in 1997 noted the banker. J.P. Morgan and PNC are relationship lenders to Arch. Company officials referred questions to the treasurer Jim Florczak, who did not return repeated calls.

VIRGINIA – There are few environments in the game of basketball that are quite the same as a state tournament. The crowds, the emotion, the big time performances, and the fight displayed by seniors playing for just one more high school game. Enitre towns travel to get behind their teams whether it's big schools versus small or rural teams facing those from the metro settings. Either way, the results will forever be etched into state basketball history.
Last week we traversed the state of Virginia covering both the Virginia High School League (public) and Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (private) high school state tournaments. We witnessed two future ACC players Mikayla Vaughn (Paul VI/Notre Dame) and Brianna Tinsley (St. Anne's Belfield/UVA) battle it out as Paul VI sought its 11th consecutive state title. Oakton's D-I bound trio of Kailyn Fee (Richmond), Maddie Royle (American), and Delaney Connolly (Loyola MD) were at the top of their games, and Hopewell's Daijah Jefferson (Georgia Tech) and Tyah Hunter (Furman) wrapped up great high school careers that took their program to new heights. Autumn Hopson (Patirot/Tennessee State) and Drew Freeland (Hidden Valley/Lafayette) helped lead their team to quarterfinal victories, and Highland Springs' star seniors CeCe Crudup (UNCG), Cam Gatlin (George Mason), as well as Jennifer Coleman (Navy) were impressive on the big stage once more. The depth of talent in Virginia's 2017 class was on full display as well as evidenced by big games from Woodbridge sharpshooter Hanna Oliver (UVA Wise) and Magna Vista playmaker Taisha DeShazo (Catawba). In a state that features colleges competing at every level, there continues to be talent for them all right here at home.
The VISAA crowned three state champions in The Miller School, Paul VI, and Carlisle on Saturday. The VHSL Championship games are slated for Virginia Commonwealth University this weekend for all six levels. Here are some of the underclass student athletes who stepped up on the state tournament stage.

Hotel Spotlight: Bill & Coo Coast
Destination Spotlight, Hotel Feature |
The Greek Islands are one of those quintessential island destinations that continue to allure the most seasoned of travelers. My most recent visit took me to the the chic island of Mykonos. Located in the Aegean Sea the island is known for having a cosmopolitan atmosphere with its exciting nightlife, picturesque Cycladic architecture and magnificent beaches.
Mykonos can be a quiet and romantic destination for a couple looking to relax under the Aegean sun. There is no shortage of amazing beaches; some of my favorites included: Ornos, Paraga and Psarou.
Mykonos is also home to some of the best beach clubs that you'll find anywhere in the world. Partygoers seeking world renowned DJ's will delight in the amazing music scene. The beach parties usually start in the afternoon and can go all day long – some even lasting until sundown. There are quite a few beach clubs to choose from but my favorite three are: Nammos , Scorpios, and Sol y Mar.
Mykonos has amazing hotel options but I recommend making the Bill & Coo Coast your home when visiting the island. Bill & Coo Coast is a boutique, 5-star hotel on ten beautiful, beachfront acres.
The hotel is in a quiet and secluded beachfront location that feels removed but is only a short ten minute drive from the town. They also have a sister property located in town, Bill & Coo Suites & Lounge and a complimentary shuttle runs throughout the day that can take you back and forth.
The property has very modern and chic décor but it still feels Greek. Each suite is decorated in an elegant style, with neutral tones and complemented by thoughtful amenities like enormous beds, crisp white fabrics and ultra-modern furnishings.
There are fifteen expansive and well-appointed suites overlooking the sea, five of which have their own private pool.
The hotel has a beautiful pool as well as a private beach area with a lounge bar that serves Mediterranean inspired cuisine and signature cocktails. The property also has some very unique service amenities such as providing each guest with a cell phone so that they are able to contact the hotel staff at anytime if there is something that they need or want.
For dining, you have the option of enjoying a candlelight dinner under the moon or in the privacy of your suite from the set menu at Taverna. Finally, if you are seeking a fine-dining experience, you can enjoy the delicious food served at the signature gourmet restaurant at their sister property Bill & Coo Suites & Lounge. Both restaurants are run by award-winning chef Athinagoras Kostakos.
Mykonos is a destination not to be missed! If you'd like to start planning your vacation at Bill & Coo Coast please email me. We will make sure you that you are well taken care of!

Driven by an intense killer instinct, Katarina uses her talents as an assassin for the glory of Noxus, and the continued elevation of her family. While her fervor drives her to ever-greater feats, it can sometimes lead her astray.
From childhood, Katarina displayed a natural gift for combat. As the daughter of a prominent Noxian general many paths were open to her, but she rejected them all for the path of the blade. Rigorously trained by the finest assassins in Noxus, her father the best among them, it was not long before Katarina demanded her first assignment. The task they gave her was aggravatingly simple: assassinate a low-ranking Demacian officer. As she set to her work infiltrating the enemy camp, Katarina discovered an opportunity too tantalizing to pass by – the arrival of a Demacian General. Stalking him to his tent, she quietly dispatched his guards and slit his throat. Pleased with her impressive kill, she disappeared into the night. Katarina's elation faded the next day when her original objective, the Demacian officer, led his forces to ambush unprepared Noxian soldiers. Though the Noxians fought valiantly, they suffered heavy casualties. Furious at her mistake, Katarina set off to complete her original task. Returning to the camp, she spied her now heavily guarded target and realized a stealthy kill was no longer possible. Drawing her blades, Katarina swore the officer would die, no matter the cost. She leapt into battle, unleashing a whirlwind of steel. One by one blades flashed and guards fell, each strike bringing her one step closer to the officer. A final thrown dagger restored her honor. Bloody and bruised, Katarina barely escaped the Demacian forces, and returned to Noxus a changed woman. The scar she earned that night now serves as a constant reminder that she must never let passion interfere with duty.
"Never question my loyalty. You will never know what I endure for it."
Voracity is a passive ability that activates whenever Katarina scores a kill or assist, refreshing her ability cooldowns by 15 seconds.
Katarina throws a dagger that bounces quickly from enemy to enemy, dealing magic damage and marking them. Each subsequent hit deals 10% less damage. Bouncing Blades hits a total of 5 unique targets (4 bounces), each striking the closest next target. Dagger Magic Damage: 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+0.45 per ability power)
Striking a marked target with an ability or basic attack will consume the mark to deal additional magic damage. On-hit Magic Damage: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+0.15 per ability power)
sinister steel
Katarina whirls her daggers around her, dealing magic damage to all enemies in the area. If she hits an enemy champion, Katarina gains Movement Speed for a short duration.
Magic Damage: 40 / 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 (+0.25 per ability power) (+0.6 per bonus attack damage)
Movement Speed: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 %
Katarina instantly moves to her target's location and takes 15% reduced damage from enemies for 1.5 seconds. If the target is an enemy, she deals magic damage. Cooldown: 12 / 10.5 / 9 / 7.5 / 6 seconds
Magic Damage: 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+0.4 per ability power)
Katarina becomes a flurry of blades, channeling for 2 seconds throw up to 30 blades to nearby enemy champions. Katarina throws up to 10 blades at 0.2 second intervals, dealing magic damage and applying Grievous Wounds to the closest 3 enemy champions. Grievous Wounds lasts for 3 seconds and reduces incoming healing by 50%. An enemy champion can be hit by a maximum of 10 daggers over the 2 seconds. Cooldown: 60 / 55 / 50 seconds
Magic Damage Per Dagger: 40 / 50 / 60 (+0.2 per ability power (+0.3 per bonus attack damage))
Maximum Magic Damage to the Same Target: 400 / 500 / 600 (+2.0 per ability power) (+3.0 per bonus attack damage)
Skill Sequence
The reason i max Q Bouncing Blades instead of W sinister steel first is because u can deal more burst damage for the next attack, and more damage for poking. Take E Shunpo at lvl 2 instead of W so u can escape from early GANKS :)

Fall in inflation clears way for rate cut if market turmoil continues
· Analysts urge caution as oil hits another record
Inflation dropped again last month, to 1.8% on the consumer prices index measure, clearing the way for the Bank of England to cut interest rates if the turmoil in financial markets continues.
The news came as the Bank made a further £4.4bn available to money markets to try to bring down overnight Libor interest rates which had shot up the previous day as queues lengthened outside Northern Rock branches. It succeeded in bringing down the overnight rate, but it remained at 6.14%, well above the Bank's 5.75% base rate.
The Office for National Statistics said the CPI unexpectedly fell by 0.1 of a point last month from July's 1.9% reading. It is at its lowest level since March last year and way down from the spring peak of 3.1%. It is below the Bank's 2% target for the second month running.
The other main measure of inflation, the retail price index, moved up to 4.1% last month from 3.8% owing to lenders passing on the Bank's July rate rise last month. The gap between CPI and RPI is now its biggest for seven years.
The main downward pressure on inflation came from some mortgage lenders cutting their exit fees. Many gas and electricity companies cut their prices. Electricity, gas and other fuels inflation slipped to 1.3% from 3.2% in July and 27.2% in March, when the CPI hit its 3.1% peak.
The ONS said the drop in fuel price inflation is the overwhelming reason for the big slide in CPI over the past six months. Last month's figures were also pushed down by clothing and footwear as the price of women's clothing rose less than a year ago.
Upward pressure came from ticket prices for rock concerts and telephone land lines.
The data will make it easier for the monetary policy committee to cut interest rates if it fears the problems in the banking sector, led by Northern Rock, threaten to damage the wider economy.
Until recently the City expected interest rates to rise to 6% or more by the end of the year but a growing number are pencilling in a cut before Christmas.
Howard Archer at Global Insight described the figures as "pretty encouraging", making it more likely interest rates have peaked at 5.75%. However, he expected the Bank to remain "very wary" about any early trimming of rates, given the record oil price and possible rises in food prices.
Oil hit another record yesterday, with US crude oil futures as high as $81.24 (£41) a barrel. The market is very nervous about a shortage this winter and is worried the upcoming hurricane season could disrupt production in the Gulf of Mexico. "The winter season will look remarkably tight," said Harry Tchilinguirian, analyst at BNP Paribas.
"The Bank of England will closely monitor how the credit crunch and Northern Rock crisis is impacting on the real economy and affecting the outlook for growth and inflation," he said.
"If it becomes increasingly clear that growth is being significantly hit, thereby diluting underling inflationary pressures, it will become more inclined to trim interest rates."

I signed up with Madeit.com.au last week.
Bella Moon Jewels on Madeit.com.au
As I'm not exactly moving jewellery through Etsy at a rate of knots (erm, still to make a sale), I thought I'd see if an Aussie site would work better. No bites yet, but I guess that's the nature of things in this strange old online world.
Jewellery is one of those tactile, personal things. Ideally you try something on, decide whether you like it or not, see if it suits you or not ... then purchase it - or not. Selling over the internet is a little more tricky though. Without the capacity to actually try a piece, or see its finish or its sparkle, it's difficult to know whether you're getting what you're paying for.
Buyers place a lot of faith in the seller when purchasing online, which is something I certainly work hard in maintaining (the faith, that is). What you see is what you get - no hidden agendas, or dodgy work. I place a lot of pride in my work - from the materials I use and how they are turned into designs and then ensuring my finishes are neat and strong.
Then I think about how to photograph the piece. Without professional photography gear, being able to capture the way a piece sits, flows, dangles or spins can be tricky. Light is an issue, but I'm figuring it out. I know my work doesn't look as fabulous in photos as it does in reality, but that's just the nature of the game at this stage.
Then I write a description, detailing the materials used, length, size of beads - anything at all that will fire the potential wearer's imagination and leave them wanting my lovingly created masterpiece.
Pricing is the tricky bit. Everyone wants a bargain on the internet, but some of my pieces (Gypsy Princess and Bella Rose necklaces for example) can take days to make. From the concept design through to construction and tweaking to get it just right. I'm not in this to lose money, so combine the time with the cost of materials and I charge what I think is a fair price. I don't stick to a particular hourly rate, but just what's fair to me and right for the quality. But so far it's not working.
With thousands of jewellery stores on the internet, finding a point of difference helps too. I ask myself the question: what is it about my jewellery that sets it apart from all the rest? I'm not sure I've found the answer except I know I have a style of my own, which is part way there.
I know my work is good when people see my jewellery close up - hold it and try it on - and it sells in a flash. They recognise how well made it is, how well designed it is, how lovely the quality of materials are that I've used. They are happy to pay the prices I ask.
It's just something I have to chug along with I guess. I'm not going to compromise my standards and use cheaper materials or make the latest fashion item that can be bought for $5 at cheap costume jewellery stores. It's a matter of hanging in there and sticking to what's right for me and ultimately for the customers I'm yet to gain.
