Do I have to fit the tyres
No. If you select the fully fitted option, your tyres
will be delivered to a fitting centre of your choice
and they will fit the tyres for you. This is all included
in the price.
Are valves and wheel balancing
Yes. Both of these things are included when you select
the Fully fitted option.
Do my local garages have an
issue with me buying tyres online?
No. People have been buying tyres online for years
now. The garage or tyre centre is paid to fit the
tyres, so they still make a profit.
Do I have to change all four
If you have one worn tyre there is no need to change
all four tyres. However there are benefits in changing
tyres in pairs. It is best to have the same level
of grip on both sides of each axel. So, depending
on how worn your tyres are it is best to change either
both front tyres or both rear tyres at the same time.
Can I have my tracking adjusted?
Check with the fitting centre where your tyres will
be fitted. Most specialist tyre fitting centres have
the equipment to carry out these adjustments. There
will be a separate charge, payable to the fitting
centre directly.
How do I find my tyre size?
The tyre size can be found on the sidewall of the
tyre. Take a look at the picture for details.
What do all these numbers mean?
The tyre sidewall markings explained.
At first glance the tyre sidewall seems to contain
a lot of confusing numbers and letters. This information
tells you about the dimensions, speed rating and tyre
pressure setting.
To buy tyres online, all you really need to know are
the 4 main pieces of information:
Tyre Width
The tyre width is shown in millimetres and is the
width from one side of the tyre to the other. Wider
tyres give the car more contact with the road and
therefore more traction.
Tyre Profile
The tyre profile is actually a ratio, not a metric
measurement. The profile is the ratio of tyre width
to profile height shown as a percentage.
For example: If the tyre has the dimensions shown
- 205/50. Then the profile is 50% of the width, so
50% of 205mm is 102.5mm. The tyre height from the
rim to the tread is 102.5mm
Tyre Speed Rating
All tyres have a speed rating letter. The letter
denotes a maximum speed that the tyre can sustain
for a 10 minute period without falling to pieces.
Each speed rating is 10Km/h above the previous. This
is a very important parameter, as there is a
legal requirement to fit tyres to your vehicle with
the correct speed rating.
Note: the letter R is nothing to do with the
speed rating. This letter denotes the tyre construction,
so if your tyre is a 255/35 ZR19, it just means that
it's a Z rated tyre of Radial construction. This letter
is redundant really, because nearly all tyres are
radial these days.
For most people these speed ratings are not relevant
to their driving habits as the UK speed limit is just
70MPH or approximately 120Km/h. However if you plan
on stretching your vehicle's legs a bit on the German
Autobahn, 130MPH may not seem that fast, but on H
rated tyres, according to the chart you have 10 minutes
max before your tyre comes apart!
Wheel Size
This is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches that
the tyre is designed to fit. It's strange that they
mix metric and imperial measurements, but they just
Load Rating
On some tyres you will see an extra number after the
R eg. 205/50/R/16/91/V. In this format the
figure 91 denotes the tyre's load rating. The load
rating directly relates to the weight in Kilos that
the tyre can support at speeds of up to 130MPH. It's
worth noting that above speeds of 130MPH the load
rating decreases.
If your car weighs 2 metric tons (2,000Kg) then
if we do a simple calculation we can assume that there
will be roughly 500Kg supported by each tyre. This
gives us a tyre load index rating of 84. If you then
add a further 20% for passengers and a nice safety
margin that takes us up to 615Kg per tyre, giving
us a load rating of 91.
Legal requirements around tyre
speed ratings
Although the UK speed limit is just 70MPH, most vehicles
are more than capable of exceeding this speed. Therefore
vehicle insurance companies will insist that the tyres
of the correct speed rating are fitted to your vehicle.
This is a legal requirement in the UK.
What is the legal limit on
tread depth?
Here in the UK the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm.
However independent tests have proved that a tyre
at 1.6mm is 40% less efficient as stopping in the
wet than a tyre at 3mm. For safety's sake we would
advise people to aim to replace their tyres at 3mm
of tread.
How can I measure my tyre
tread depth?
You can use a tyre depth gauge. However most tyres
have a tread wear indicator to help you to visually
identify when you are close to the tread depth limit.
If you're looking at your front tyres, lock your steering
wheel to either the left or the right and look around
the tread carefully, you should see a small rubber
bar running across the tread grooves. The wear indicator
is usually placed in the tyre at a depth of 2mm. If
the tyre tread is flush with this rubber bar then
it's time to replace your tyres.
Can they repair my puncture?
Not all punctures are safe to repair, especially if
the tyre has been driven on. The guide below shows
the areas that can be repaired. If you have Run Flat
Tyres read this page which explains why tyre fitters
have issues repairing
run flat tyres.
What are RFT tyres and why
are they so expensive?
RFT stand for Run Flat Tyre. These tyres can survive
a puncture and still be driven on, albeit at a reduced
speed and limited distance. The RFT tyre is more expensive
partly because of the thicker tyre wall that prevents
the tyre from collapsing due to a loss of pressure.
Typically you should be able to drive approximately
100 miles at 50MPH on a punctured run flat tyre. There
are several benefits to the RFT system; RFT tyres
are safer, if you lose pressure with a conventional
tyre you could career off the road. The RFT keeps
you on the road as the tyre does not collapse. If
you sustain a puncture in a dangerous area or on a
busy wet motorway, you don't have to change the tyre
there and then, just drive on and find a tyre repair
centre. With RFT there's no need for a spare wheel,
which saves you money and boot space.
Upgrading to RFT on a non RFT vehicle is not really
practical or cheap to do. RFT tyres only work with
specially designed RFT rims, so you'll need to buy
4 new rims from BMW / Audi etc. Then you'll need to
source and install an Electronic Tyre Pressure Monitor
System (ETPMS or TPMS). Because a RFT puncture may
not always be obvious to a driver, an electronic tyre
pressure monitor is required to alert the driver to
the loss of pressure.

A basic low carb bread recipe. Enjoy it as toast for breakfast to complement eggs, to make a sandwich for lunch, or as a dinner appetizer.
It's no secret that the one thing low carbers miss most is bread. This is often what is missing as an appetizer, enjoying a real sandwich, or just having a morning slice of toast.
I do have a bread machine, but I rarely have yeast to make a proper bread. That is something that I plan to try in the near future.
This week, I set out to bake a basic quick bread that could be easily thrown together with ingredients I typically have on hand. It needed to serve as a replacement for simple white bread and also serve as a base for other varieties of bread.
Since I usually have both almond flour and coconut flours in my pantry, I used a mix of both in this recipe. Eggs were used for leavening, but I suppose baking powder or soda could be added to make a lighter bread.
Since originally posting this low carb bread recipe, I have received a lot of comments. Some thought there were too many eggs.
I have successfully made the bread with only 5 eggs, but upped the baking powder. That seems to have had little effect on the texture.
If using fewer eggs still doesn't get rid of enough eggy taste, you can try substituting egg white for some of the whole eggs. It's generally 2 egg whites for every egg.
To be honest, I didn't really notice a strong egg taste in the low carb bread. But, I generally eat it toasted with butter, or as a sandwich.
I was very pleased with the results of this low carb bread recipe. This week, I plan to make cinnamon French toast using this bread.
I'm thinking this basic quick bread recipe can be used to develop sweet breads. In the future, I plan to experiment with that.
I bet you have the ingredients for this easy recipe in your kitchen pantry. Why not give it a try?

Double Booked, ridden by jockey Jose Ferrer, set a track record in winning the 59th running of the Riggs Handicap yesterday at Pimlico Race Course.
Double Booked, which led wire-to-wire over the firm turf course, covered the mile in 1 minute, 33 seconds, breaking the record of 1:35 set by Hawaiian Eye on Oct. 1, 1986. The winner, a 6-year-old gelding trained by Linda Rice, took the lead out of the starting gate and held off early challenges by Once Over Knightly and Air Attack.
Ferrer opened Double Booked up at the top of the stretch, and Double Booked pulled away to three-length win over closing Ligature.

Reports I read on the day said that "The Shack" signed in wearing the Red & Grey kit, and changed after that.
I can't help feeling that they went out of their way to provoke a confrontation on the road with race officials, tbh.
Cycling's governing body, the UCI, has announced that it plans to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Team RadioShack following the delay to the start of Sunday's final stage of the Tour de France when its riders lined up wearing special black jerseys publicising Lance Armstrong's Livestrong charity instead of their usual red and silver outfits.
With race commissaries telling the team's riders that they would be forbidden from starting the stage if they did not change into their usual kits as required by UCI regulations – a stance that drew fire from team director Johan Bruyneel on Twitter – the stage was held up for some 20 minutes in Longjumeau before it headed off to Paris for the traditional finale on the Champs-Elysées.
It's likely that Armstrong and his team mates suspected that the Livestrong jerseys, emblazoned with the number 28 on the back to signify the estimated 28 million people worldwide affected by cancer, would attract the attention of officials, especially given that regulation kit was readily on hand in the team car.
Equally, given that this was the seven-times-champion's final participation in the race he once dominated, Armstrong, who according to local reports failed to sign on for his last ever Tour de France stage, would have known that he'd be receiving more attention than usual at the start from TV cameramen and press photographers, and so it proved as he seemed to take forever to change over his race numbers.
The resulting publicity for Livestrong, of course, on perhaps the biggest day on the cycling calendar with events screened live worldwide, was priceless.
In a statement, the governing body said that it "regrets that an initiative for a cause as worthy as the fight against cancer was not coordinated beforehand with the Commissaires and organisers of the event. This could have been done whilst remaining within the rules."
The statement continued: "Team RadioShack's incorrect behaviour led to a 20-minute delay to the start of the final stage, which could have disrupted the televised coverage of the race, placing the Commissaires under the obligation to impose a fine on each rider and the team managers."
Following the stage, as they lined up to take the podium after winning the team classification, the RadioShack riders were back in the Livestrong jerseys, which on their left breast carried the flags of the nations of the team members, arranged as though they were medal ribbons.
This too, will be the subject of UCI investigation, with the governing body saying that the team had worn "an incorrect uniform on the podium for the protocol ceremony having been instructed not to."
While Sunday's stage, won by HTC-Columbia's Mark Cavendish, was under way, team director Johan Bruyneel had told his followers on Twitter exactly what he thought of the decision not to allow the riders the race in the black jerseys, tweeting: "Ok people! Now it's official! To be a race commisar, you don't need brains but only know the rules! Their motto: "c'est le reglement!" [It's the rule]
That comment, too, drew the attention of the UCI, which said that it "deplores the declarations made by Mr Johan Bruyneel who gravely offended all the Commissaires working in cycling. His remarks are utterly unacceptable, " adding that he would be "be called upon to answer for his comments before the UCI Disciplinary Commission."
The UCI added that "as the action of Team RadioShack was inspired by the desire to raise public awareness of the breadth of the global fight against cancer, the UCI has decided that any fines levied as a result of this matter would be donated to the Ligue suisse contre le cancer," the Swiss cancer charity.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.
All of which is proof to the rest of the world that Armstrong is NOT bigger than the sport. The stage should have gone on without them - why wait twenty minutes? Armstrong is arrogant, and Bruyneel is rude. Regardless of what was written on the shirts this is all about LA giving the UCI the finger. Well, I hope they finger him back over the next few months in a place he'll never forget.
It was a PR stunt that went wrong - they'd have got more and better coverage if they'd had the jerseys on throughout the stage. They (and to be fair, chunks of the online community) are trying hard to make out that "hey, they actually meant for that to happen, honest!" but that's just making the best of a bad job.
You know how cats fall off things and then wash their paws while pulling a 'that was deliberate btw' face? Yeah, like that...
Lance should have known better and once the jerseys were changed back the Tour should have let it go.
I'm sure if they stayed changed back the UCI would have taken a different line on it. But Armstrong heightened his arrogance by changing the team back in to the 'prohibited' strip for the podium. They'd been warned...
Remember Mario Cipollini's various outlandish costumes, including dressing as a Roman Emperor? He just used to pay the fine and ride in fancy dress- and the only cause he had to promote was himself (though you had to like him for it anyway).I don't see why the organizers needed to make such an issue of it this time.
Obviously no rider was on drugs this tour so they had to think of something to make a fuss about.

WATCH: Nearly naked Miley Cyrus makes some great points about our nipple hang-ups
Miley Cyrus discussed her love of nudity with Jimmy Kimmel in Wednesday night, while wearing heart-shaped pasties and a glitter cape ensemble. Jimmy Kimmel admitted he was having a hard time concentrating on their conversation, a problem he apparently shared with Sir Paul McCartney.
But aside from her garish attire, Cyrus made some excellent points about people's hang-ups about breasts, body-shaming and nudity.
"I see a lot of people with their clothes on and they're assholes," she pointed out. "I don't know if it's the clothes or what. If you have your tits out, you can't really be an asshole."
She also pointed out that the issue is not breasts. "America's actually fine with tits," she said. "It's the nipple they can't handle."
Cyrus divulged where she shops for pasties, and mentioned how little she spends on clothes. "I'm very eco-friendly," she said. "I'm a vegan-nudist."
Cyrus did reveal some hang-ups about the human body at the end. But, hey…

Having to constantly up the outrageousness ante in order to remain relevant must be extremely tiring.
Which is probably why Amanda Fucking Palmer's Wayne Coyne-directed music video for "Do It With a Rockstar" finds the birthday-suited Mrs. Neil Gaiman in bed, cuddling with equally starkers alt porn star Stoya.
"Stoya was a dream to work with, and totally intimidating," Palmer writes on her blog. "Ever tried to make out with a real porn star on camera? You'll see what i mean."
Hopefully Palmer paid Stoya more than just a naked hug.

Website bleedingcool.com has found a screenshot for the mini Doctor Who episode planned for this Red Nose Day and it does not disappoint!
Plans for the small screen adventure are not yet known at this point but the still taken from the episode sees two, that's two, Amy Ponds standing outside the TARDIS!
Followers of current show runner Steven Moffat's work will remember that he not only wrote the hilarious Curse of the Fatal Death which featured an alternative Ninth Doctor rolling through his remaining regenerations but also the incredibly exciting and touching Time Crash, which featured not only the tenth doctor but also the fifth.
This year looks set to be nothing less then what we're used to receiving from the "Moff† and in true wibbly wobbly-timey wimey fashion, it looks like he's going to deliver something fun, frantic and also rather memorable,
What's particularly fun to note is that the TARDIS that the two Amy's are standing outside seems to be within a TARDIS itself. Are we set for another "Belgium†incident? Or are the stakes ranking even higher this year?
You'll have to wait for Comic relief to air this year before finding out but knowing Moffat, it's going to be worth the wait!

Shutting down your yard sale
We ventured out Friday afternoon in an effort to hit at least one yard sale over the holiday weekend, and guess what? We got there just in time to see them them packing up their last boxes and closing up shop.
With our yard-sale experience denied, we began brainstorming "shutting down" tips for today's post:
- STICK TO YOUR HOURS: With the above experience fresh in our minds, that's our first tip — keep your yard sale open until the posted time. Just like you, your shoppers have a schedule to keep. If you close before your posted hours end, then you aren't helping yourself get rid of your stuff or helping your customers take your stuff.
- CONDENSE: As your items begin to get picked through, condense your tables down. Fold up and put away your empty tables. Clean out your plastic tubs and stack them in the back of the garage. This helps shoppers breeze through quicker and more importantly, it will help you pick up quicker.
- SIGNS: Be sure to remove any road signs you have placed within a few hours of closing. Some shoppers will show up at sales solely because a sign pointed them there. It's frustrating to follow signs for a yard sale that was actually held two weeks ago.
- GARBAGE: I wouldn't put your "not really worth anything" items directly on the curb and in trash cans. It (sadly) invites garbage pickers and salvage "crews" to come and browse your newly minted freebies for their own use. We don't do this, but we've seen people do it. Wait until garbage day.
- DONATIONS (PART ONE): If you are planning to donate your leftovers, remember you can get a charitable donation form if you take it to the Salvation Army or Goodwill store. This can help you on next year's tax returns.
- DONATIONS (PART TWO): When you donate your leftovers, remove all the price stickers you put on your items. Both the Salvation Army and Goodwill won't take them if they have stickers.
- DONATIONS (PART THREE): As you leave items at the anonymous drop boxes, remember you can only put clothes and shoes there. Anything else is considered littering and you could be fined if you are caught.
- STORAGE: If you can't part with your items even after they didn't sell at your yard sale, store them all in one plastic tub and you have a base for next year's sale. However, if you haven't sold them in two years of trying, it's probably time to pitch or donate those items.
- THE LAWN: Sometimes yard sales can damage your grass as you have people wearing paths along your displays. It will greatly help its recovery if you quickly take a leaf rake over the area. This will peel the grass blades from being ground into the soil and help them air out and recover from the trampling.
- HOW DID IT GO? Sorry to be a little self-serving, but leave us a comment on this blog and tell us your experiences. Your knowledge can help future yard-sale hosts!
- THE MOOLAH: Now that you're flush with all your yard sale profits, it's time to consider what to do with all that extra cash. The nest egg for a vacation fund perhaps? Maybe a little extra into the kids' college funds? Whatever you do, make it count.

Baylor Blocking A&M's Move to SEC??
The potential threat of legal action is standing in the way of Texas A&M's move to the SEC.
The presidents of the SEC want assurance that no Big XII will sue for contractual interference before formally accepting the Aggies into the league. Baylor has refused to sign that waiver thus far.
The SEC got written notice from the Big XII back on September 2 that they were free to accept Texas A&M.
A planned celebration and press conference in College Station is now on hold.

The Department of Interior (DOI) announced this afternoon that it issued its first deepwater drilling permit for the Gulf to Noble Energy. While this may be a good first step for DOI and the permitting process, there are still 14 deepwater permits pending review and approval. Since the moratorium on offshore drilling was lifted in November 2010, companies, who can afford to, have kept their lease and rigs "warm."
Essentially, these companies pay approximately $550,000 per day in order to maintain their rigs – although for the most part the rigs are idle. Offshore drilling is a significant part of the U.S. economy both in terms of generating jobs as well as creating a domestic supply of oil and gas. A recent study noted that there are 125,000 jobs that can be lost by 2015 and we can stand to lose 680,000 barrels of oil by 2019 if the permitting delays continue to linger.
Although the DOI is on the right track by issuing this one permit, today's announcement it will not resolve the jobs put at risk and the lost production if the permitting process is not streamlined. In an economy with high unemployment and disruptions in the Middle East that have significantly increased the price of oil, the U.S. cannot afford more permitting delays.

Calif.'s last operating nuclear power plant to shut down in less than a decade
Primary tabs
The Diablo Canyon Power Plant, California's last operating electricity-generating nuclear power plant, recently announced plans to stop operating in less than a decade, putting more stress on the Golden State's already stressed-out power grid.
PG&E, which owns and operates the nuclear power plant, announced earlier this week that it plans to close the plant when its license expires in 2025 to meet the renewable energy policy goals of the state.
The Diablo Canyon Power Plant has been operating since 1985, and it is a major provider of electricity for northern California. But, it has come under criticism recently after critics warned that there is a seismic risk because there are earthquake faults nearby. However, the company claims that the facility is designed to withstand quakes likely for the area.
The plan generates nearly one-fifth of PG&E's total annual electricity production in the company's service territory. It has two nuclear reactors and generates electricity for as many as 1.7 million homes.
Travis Miller, a senior analyst with Morningstar, aid, "The primary beneficiary is going to be any kind of renewable power generator and renewable energy developer. They (PG&E) won't build it all themselves. Any third-party energy developer is going to benefit that can sell their power into northern California."
In its most recent regulatory filing, PG&E estimated that decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant will cost $3.8 billion. As of March 31, 2016, the facility's nuclear decommissioning trust accounts held nearly $2.8 billion.

Flint "water fair" will try to help people get water flowing through their taps again By Steve Carmody • Feb 5, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio These days, many people in Flint choose not to drink the city's water.

Walling made the declaration Monday in his State of the City speech," the Associated Press reports. Great Lakes 90% covered with ice All of the Great Lakes combined have 90% ice cover. According to the Detroit Free Press, "that's the most ice cover in 34 years." Lawmakers want to ban term "retard" from state law "Michigan lawmakers are looking to remove the terms 'mental retardation' and 'mentally retarded' from state law. Bipartisan bills would strike references to outdated language such as 'retarded' from various statutes and instead use terms such as 'developmentally disabled' or 'intellectually disabled'," the Associated Press reports. Flint mayor says state lawmakers should boost revenue sharing By Steve Carmody • Mar 4, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Flint's mayor says his and other Michigan cities need more revenue sharing dollars from the state. Mayor Dayne Walling delivered Flint's "State of the City" speech yesterday. Walling outlined a lot of plans for Flint's future. But he says, without more money from the state, delivering basic services will continue to be a struggle. "Our local communities were the ones that took the longest, most permanent cuts.

Flint police turning to donors to meet needs By Steve Carmody • Mar 1, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio The Flint Police Department is taking a new approach to solving one of its biggest problems: money.

Flint's emergency manager wants to get mayor and city council more involved in budget and transition By Steve Carmody • Jul 17, 2013 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Flint's emergency manager says it's time to begin the transition back to local, elected control. Flint's been under a state-appointed manager since December 2011. Mike Brown is starting his second stint as Flint's emergency manager. He says the tough decisions have been made, and Flint is on a path to solvency. Brown says now it's time to involve the mayor and city council more in budget decisions. "I have been sitting down with council and the mayor since I came back on to really talk about that process," says Brown. Judge dismisses lawsuit over Flint's city water rates By Steve Carmody • Jun 22, 2013 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio An effort to roll back Flint's recent spike in water and sewer rates has failed. On Friday, a Genesee County Circuit Court judge dismissed a lawsuit against the city of Flint.

Mayor Dayne Walling on financial future of Flint By Jennifer White & Mercedes Mejia • May 8, 2013 Facebook Listen Listening... / 5:34 Originally aired Tuesday, May 7th 2013. Flint's Emergency Manager, Ed Kurtz, says he will resign come June 30th, which may put Flint a step closer to returning to local control. Flint Mayor Dayne Walling talks with Jennifer White about the financial future of Flint. Flint's city council recently passed a resolution asking Governor Rick Snyder to remove the city's emergency manager and appoint a transition advisory team. "There are a number of requirements in the law that would have to be met by the appointed manager before a transition board could be put in place, such as the adoption of a two-year budget. So, city council leadership and I have been calling on for those steps to get done as soon as possible. The city of Flint does face financial challenges, let's get addressed as soon as possible so we can move on," says Mayor Walling. When asked how financially healthy Flint is right now, Walling says: "It's marginally stable. But our position is that it's going to take some long-term planning, some serious community partnerships to get the city to where it's more sustainable going forward. And that work cannot be done effectively by an appointed manager." Listen to the full interview above. Flint opting to get its future tap water from Lake Huron By Steve Carmody • Mar 25, 2013 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio The Flint city council has voted to get its future water supply directly from Lake Huron. The city council last night committed Flint to a contract to get 16 million gallons of water a day from a new pipeline. Flint has been getting its tap water from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. But that has become more and more expensive in recent years. Supporters, like Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, say the new Lake Huron pipeline would be cheaper. "We think that having a mid-Michigan system makes more economic sense long term," says Walling. Stateside: Mayor of Flint talks about the future By Stateside Staff • Feb 19, 2013 Facebook Listen Listening... / 11:28 The Mayor of Flint says it's time to say goodbye to its emergency manager and make Flint the first city in Michigan to have a transition team appointed under the new emergency manager law, a team that would guide Flint back to being run by its mayor and city councilThat was one of the key messages as Flint Mayor Dayne Walling delivered his State of the City message last night - his fourth State of the City address.Mayor Dayne Walling joined us from Flint.

Coming up with a master plan for Flint's future By Steve Carmody • May 7, 2012 (photo by Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio) The city of Flint is developing its first master plan in a half century. The challenge is charting a future course for a city that some critics have said doesn't have a future. First things first. Cities don't just change. They follow a plan. The master plan outlines where to build homes. Where to encourage retail stores to open. Where to let businesses build factories. U-M panel focuses on Michigan's Emergency Manager law By Jennifer Guerra • Feb 7, 2012 Several elected officials and about a hundred others packed into a small conference room on the University of Michigan campus Monday night to talk about the state's controversial Emergency Manager Law. The Emergency Manager panel consisted of three elected Democratic officials: Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, Ann Arbor Representative Jeff Irwin and Washtenaw County Commissioner Conan Smith. Flint emergency manager gives city's elected leaders a little more to do By Steve Carmody • Dec 20, 2011 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Flint's emergency manager is giving back some responsibilities to the city's mayor and city council. One of the first things Michael Brown did after the governor appointed him was to eliminate the pay and benefits for Mayor Dayne Walling and the entire Flint city council. He also canceled future city council meetings. This week, Brown reinstated 60 percent of the mayor's salary, as well as his full benefits. Mayor Walling will also get some of his powers restored, including his role in economic development, master planning, intergovernmental affairs, and community engagement. Walling is also a member of an advisory panel for the emergency manager. In a written statement, Walling says "Manager Brown has followed through on his commitment to make this a collaborative process that involves elected leadership and engages residents." The emergency manager also is letting each member of the city council collect seven thousand dollars a year in pay, or about half of their former annual pay, but with no benefits. The Flint city council will have a little less to do than the mayor. The emergency manager will only permit the council members to attend public meetings in their respective wards, as directed by him. The Flint city council will meet once a month, but only to address items on the emergency manager's agenda. The emergency manger was appointed to fix Flint's 'financial emergency' that has the city mired in debt. Flint's emergency manager fires seven city staffers, cuts pay for mayor, city council By Steve Carmody • Dec 3, 2011 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Flint emergency manager Mike Brown started the job on Thursday. Friday, he dropped the hammer. The Flint Journal reports Brown fired seven total level city employees. He also cut the pay of the mayor and city council and canceled future city council meetings. Brown was appointed Flint's emergency manager earlier this week by Governor Snyder. A state review of Flint's finances determined that the city faced a 'financial emergency'. Flint is millions of dollars in debt. Late Friday, Flint mayor Dayne Walling issued a statement praising his four appointees removed by Brown: "It was an honor for them to choose to serve with me through very difficult times and, on behalf of the Flint community, I thank them for their service." A conversation with Flint Mayor Dayne Walling By Jennifer White • Nov 15, 2011 Facebook Listen Listening... / Dayne Walling was elected to a second term as Flint's mayor last week, and since then was told his city is facing a financial emergency. Michigan Radio's Jennifer White spoke with Walling about the situation. Walling said he has a lot of questions about how things will unfold, and added, "the Governor and Treasurer have pledged for this to be a collaborative process, but I know that can mean a lot of different things to different individuals." "I'm prepared to play any positive role that I can in this position," said Walling. Mayor Walling also gave suggestions on how to work with city leaders and residents. Flint, Michigan gets ready for a state takevoer By Mark Brush • Nov 15, 2011 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio The city of Flint is getting ready for a state takeover. The city's re-elected mayor, Dayne Walling and Flint City Council may have no power once a state-appointed emergency manager is in place. From the Flint Journal: Today is the deadline for Flint Mayor Dayne Walling to request a hearing on the state's recommendation that an emergency manager take over the city's finances. And all signs point to an impending state takeover. Walling said today that he will not request a hearing, and city council members say they're bracing for a takeover. The Journal reports that the Flint City Council voted against appealing an impending appointment of an emergency manager takeover to the Ingham County Circuit Court. Mayor Walling told reporters after he was sworn in that he plans on sticking around. From Steve Carmody's report: Walling insists Flint city government can move forward with his agenda, despite the looming reality that the governor will soon choose an emergency manager to take over running city government. "If this emergency manager is here for a few months…if they are here for a year or two…I look forward to serving my full four year term that I was sworn into today," Walling told reporters after the ceremony. Walling will be interviewed by Michigan Radio's Jennifer White today. We'll post that interview later. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 next › last »

This is Google getting real about Froogle, a product, and a category, that never quite hit it with consumers. Why? Well, it might have something to do with the way we interact with search. We're still learning about how we interact with this beast. Froogle never made it as a destination, but then again, neither did any other product search categories, really. Sure, some of us use them religiously. But search, broadly, is where we all start, and product search is simply a place we drill down into. Why brand something which is, in the end, simply a feature of the larger engine? Hence…Google Product Search.
Again, one made far smarter by your input – about the same number of comments and questions as with Eric. Dave finds what might be the nut of the conversation – Jeff's openness to partnering (again) with Microsoft. Remember my "Soverture" post? (Grin)
We spoke of DoubleClick, and as we spoke, Jeff's boss, CEO Terry Semel, was predicting advertiser defections in a Reuters' piece.
DoubleClick could see defections by advertisers put off by Google's $3.1 billion deal to buy the online advertising market maker, Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Terry Semel predicted in an interview on Tuesday.
But Yahoo's (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research) top executive stopped short of joining calls for antitrust regulators to scrutinize Google Inc.'s (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) DoubleClick takeover…
Youch! Check out the Dodgeball founders on getting acquired by Google back in May 05:
"As a two-person team, Alex and I have taken Dodgeball about a far as we can alone," Dennis Crowley, founder of the New York-based text messaging service, wrote on the company's Web site. (that link is now down)
And today, on quitting:
It's no real secret that Google wasn't supporting dodgeball the way we expected. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating for us – especially as we couldn't convince them that dodgeball was worth engineering resources, leaving us to watch as other startups got to innovate in the mobile + social space. And while it was a tough decision (and really disappointing) to walk away from dodgeball, I'm actually looking forward to getting to work on other projects again.
I've covered TellMe's mobile search elsewhere, but my ongoing commitments at Web2 Expo meant I could not cover its launch Monday. No worries…TC has it covered….
As I did with Cisco and Hakia, we're doing some conversational marketing on Searchblog with Microsoft. They've asked me to tell them when I felt my business was "people ready." Well, that was not an easy answer, but I've tackled it over here. As I do with all my partnerships with marketers, I post to let you know when I've agreed to work with a sponsor. So far, it's been a very enjoyable conversation.
Tomorrow I am interviewing Jeff Weiner, Executive Vice President, Network Division of Yahoo. Jeff and I have had a great relationship for years now, he was a key source for the book and a very smart guy to bounce just about anything off of. Today with Eric you all really made me much smarter, and I'd love your help with Jeff as well. Jeff ran the integration of all the Yahoo search properties and only recently left those duties to take a senior role in the entire Yahoo network – what is now known as the audience division. So, what do you want to know about Yahoo?
I can tell you what I want to know. First, because it's news, Yahoo announced earnings today (Google announces Thurs.). Now, folks were expecting a win, given what Terry Semel said earlier about the early lift of Panama (see here). In short, he said he was "all smiles." But….Wall St. gave Yahoo's earnings a frown today – it's down nearly 8% in after hours trading. Why? Because despite the Panama expectations, earnings dropped 11% year over year. Now, Yahoo warned the Street that the lift would not hit till Q2, but the Street wanted a surprise to the upside, and it did not get one.
So I will ask him about that.
Beyond the short term, and the Panama stuff, there's much to dig into about Yahoo, its position in the market, the whole Facebook/M&A thing, and some pretty interesting stats that Jeff reeled off to me when we spoke on the phone earlier this month.
So, what do you want to know about?
Just released.

"Excellent listen"
I already have started. It is full of useful information explained in an interesting way. It is an awesome supplement to his show and stands on its own just fine too.
Don't be hesitant to purchase just because it was written before the big crash in 2008 - even though any specific references to companies at the time may be out of date, (a fact he even addresses in the book itself) the fundamentals are all still very applicable.
I plan to purchase more of his books.
There is a market for everything.
"Fantastic, "
great book, always informative and fun. Coupled with watching the TV show and following his advice in his book educates me towards being greater wealth :-)
This book is a perfect place to start, I started out the wrong way and lost a lot of money. I pumped the brakes and bought the book and listened to it every day while driving. I have made my losses back and am up 24% in 90 days.
"more Cramer"
Similar to Cramer's tv routine, but better--more explanation, more teaching, less hysteria. And the work sheets are a good supplement.
"Like the show & you'll like the book."
This sums up what the show is trying to get across and helps you digest the TV show and make better decisions.

Posted on 02/18/2011 2:17:18 PM PST by edpc
CHICAGO (CBS) Cook County sheriffs officials have found bodies stacked on top of each other some buried eight at a time at a south suburban cemetery.
As CBS 2s Susanna Song reports, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says Homewood Memorial Gardens, at 600 Ridge Rd. in Homewood, desecrated the bodies of people who couldnt afford to purchase burial plots.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicago.cbslocal.com ...
The price of cement overshoes too high?
More voters for Rahm too ..
"We know where the bodies are buried.....
Yes, they do!
Gonna be mighty crowded come judgement day.
"Hey Joe, thats my sweater you're wearin!"
My grandfather died in 1920 and he is buried somewhere in an "indigent" portion of a cemetery.
There is nothing nefarious about this practice.
profit maximization.... Chicago style.
Instead of stacking them why don't they cremate them all. Stacking has to have an odor.
They were discoverd while following an "organizing for America" paid volunteer.
Must have found this out during the latest census. Eight voters using the same address with different last names.
If true, then it falls back onto the state for not making that stipulation. Other countries dig up the dead and reuse plots. There will come a day when there will be no room for cemeteries and plots will be too expensive for the average family. Many government and local projects (fact - a school football field and a lake) have disturbed old cemeteries and it's a shame how many bodies were never moved or identified.
Heck, they all voted for Mark Dayton in Minnesota, as well. Twice.
Most cities have a "potters field" where they bury homeless and other deadbeats.
Is society supposed to foot the bill for burial plots now too?
This is after all, the "Chicago Way" and Illinois is a part of Chicago. (A subservient part).
SRO at the cemetery ?????
Damn! 8 votes for the price of one!
I know a lady who will be buried on top of her husband at the National Cemetery in San Antonio. I think it's common practice.
"There is nothing nefarious about this practice."
No there isn't. Just this morning I was looking at cemetery records where my great grandfather was buried and saw some entries noted "Potters Field". Had only seen that name in historical novels before.
****disturbed old cemeteries and it's a shame how many bodies were never moved or identified.****

From the catwalk and magazine covers to healthcare advocate, Christy Turlington has made it her mission to raise awareness about maternal mortality worldwide. The supermodel is the director of the documentary No Woman, No Cry, she is the founder of Every Mother Counts and is the first guest designer of the Ergobaby Designer Series.
The mom-of-two opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her daughter Grace, 9, and son Finn, 6, with husband Ed Burns, running in the upcoming ING New York City Marathon for EMC, and the 280,000 women that die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth, which she adds is "a mother every two minutes."
CBS: Tell us about teaming up with Ergobaby and the Guest Designer Series benefitting Every Mother Counts (EMC). Please share with us the details of your design and how this cause helps women in need.
CT: "EMC is always looking for ways to reach new audiences, and this partnership was a unique way to get our message out to mothers and the people who love them. I am delighted to be the first guest designer of this Ergobaby Designer Series. It's been fun to collaborate closely with the Ergobaby design team to create this collection.
The result is a true partnership. Together we were really looking to create something that would connect mothers around the world, and I'm so proud of our final product. Ten percent of the price of each piece will be donated to EMC, and those funds will go toward programs that aim to substantially reduce the rates of maternal mortality globally."
CBS: We understand you're also participating in the ING New York City Marathon on November 4. Tell us how you'll be raising awareness and funds for Every Mother Counts at the marathon.
CT: "Yes, EMC has a team of 50 running the ING New York City Marathon this year, last year we were ten, and we're hoping to meet our fundraising goal of $280,000. This number has special significance, because it is not only double the amount we raised last year, but it also acknowledges the number of girls and women who die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth related complications.
For us, running the marathon is meant to bring awareness to one of the greatest barriers women around the world face to access basic and emergency obstetric care – distance. Many pregnant women around the world have to walk a minimum of 5 kilometers, often far more, just to seek basic care, even in labor.
The marathon also gives EMC a chance to further engage the supporters we already have by giving them a chance to run with us, raise money for the team, or simply support the effort. We also use this opportunity to educate a new audience about one of the many obstacles women may face in their search for pre and postnatal care."
CBS: We were profoundly moved by No Woman, No Cry. How did making that epic documentary change your life?
CT: "No Woman, No Cry was an incredible learning experience and led to my founding Every Mother Counts. While pregnant with my second child in 2005, I did a lot of travelling in Central America where I came across many individuals who were successfully helping women rise above the tragic maternal mortality statistics. I wanted to share these stories with the world, the considerable challenges and real solutions.
It was the hope in these stories that inspired, No Woman, No Cry which features stories of real women from my travels to Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and the U.S. between 2008 and 2010. I have gone back to each of the countries where we filmed and most of the participants have viewed the film. Once you are a part of someone's story they are with you forever."
CBS: It is outrageous that only women in privileged situations shouldn't have to fear for their lives and the lives of their babies at childbirth. The worldwide maternal mortality rates are unacceptable. Please tell us some of these statistics and how we can help our worldwide sisters.
CT: "Its true that most of these deaths effect marginalized, underserved women but complications related to pregnancy and childbirth can happen to any one of us. Fifteen percent of pregnancies will result in a complication, and we can't always identify who will experience one, which is why it is so important that every pregnant women have prenatal care and be in close proximity to emergency obstetric care in the event of one.
Take me, I had a perfect pregnancy and delivery and then I hemorrhaged. What I learned after my experience, which was really frightening and eye opening, was that Post-Partum Hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of pregnancy-related death for girls and women here and in developing countries. Had I not been in the care of competent healthcare professionals, I may have been another statistic.
The total number of girls and women who die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth related complications is 280,000. That's a mother every two minutes. Even more astounding is that 90% of these deaths are preventable.
Often simple solutions, like transport vouchers to insure women get the care they need before, during and after childbirth, or the training of midwives who can assess a medical emergency can make the biggest difference. So aside from donating to support interventions like these, more inclusive conversations and education of the general public are critical in making more people aware of the problems and the solutions and to build an even stronger base of support for the world's mothers."
CBS: Tell us about your recent trip to Africa. What did you and your family take away from that trip?
CT: "I had been waiting to bring my family to Africa for years and determined that when my son was six he would be ready for the adventure. It was beyond my expectations to see them there taking it all in and absorbing the smells and sounds and colors. We all felt incredibly connected throughout the trip because we really shut off the rest of the world to be present with one another there. It was a dream."
CBS: What did you tell your kids about your important work on No Woman No Cry? Did they feel compelled to get involved/help out?
CT: "They were both quite small still when I began making NWNC, so I kept it very simple to start. I told them that I was helping to save mommies so that their babies could have them to take care of them. They seemed to get the importance of that straight away.
My daughter is particularly proud that it was her coming into the world that changed the course of my life to the extent that it has. My son is always just happy to have me when he has me, but he's also very generous and doesn't mind sharing."
CBS: Can we expect a collaboration between you and husband Ed Burns in the future? Maybe a documentary?
CT: "Well, I wouldn't say never, but I also can't imagine what subject would capture both of our hearts in the same way at the same time. Plus, the way we work and travel now works because our projects are our own and we can take turns and share the home responsibilities as we currently do."

What a difference four years makes."College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina. Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night. Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama."
What a difference four years makes. "Obama-care is either a good idea or a bad one, with merits or deficiencies that are easy enough to grasp and argue about right now; there's plenty of evidence to decide whether it was an act of hubris. And the president's economic stimulus, to cite another example, has been a failure even by the criteria he himself set ('If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition'). Pretending that the merits of the Obama presidency are somehow undefined forestalls the debate — how can you defend a record that's inconclusive?"
What a difference four years makes. "Representative Paul D. Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee, slammed President Obama's handling of the economy on Monday, seizing on hesitant responses by Mr. Obama's top strategists when asked whether the country was better off than it was four years ago. . . .Republicans are eager to put the Democrats on the defensive on the question at the start of the Democratic convention. Polls suggest that many people remain pessimistic about the state of the economy and their own financial future — a fact that Republican hope will help to undermine Mr. Obama's convention message this week."
What a difference four years makes. "The president's goal here in Charlotte will be to recharge that 2008 machinery. He needs to energize young and minority voters on the one hand, and reassure wavering middle- and upper-middle-class voters — especially women — that they made the right choice."
What a difference four years makes. Watch the video of President Obama making his pitch to the Janesville GM plant. I think the "broken promises" theme is a problem for Obama.
What a difference four years makes. Actually, Obama is saying exactly the same thing; it's just that so few believe him any more.
What a difference four years makes. "Right rallies for 'Empty Chair Day.' "It probably wasn't a good idea for the left to harp on Clint Eastwood. The man knows something about marketing.
What a difference four years makes. The New York Times reports that "even those loyal to Mr. Obama say that his quest for excellence can bleed into cockiness and that he tends to overestimate his capabilities. . . . Even some Democrats in Washington say they have been irritated by his tips on topics ranging from the best way to shake hands on the trail (really look voters in the eye, he has instructed) to writing well. . .For another, he may not always be as good at everything as he thinks, including politics. While Mr. Obama has given himself high grades for his tenure in the White House — including a 'solid B-plus' for his first year — many voters don't agree, citing everything from his handling of the economy to his unfulfilled pledge that he would be able to unite Washington to his claim that he would achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace. Those were not the only times Mr. Obama may have overestimated himself: he has also had a habit of warning new hires that he would be able to do their jobs better than they could." The mainstream media is only discovering this now?
