Supreme Court to hear plea alleging deposits of old notes not allowed till March 31
By ANI | Published: 21st March 2017 08:12 AM |
Last Updated: 21st March 2017 08:12 AM | A+A A- |
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear for a final disposal of the PIL filed by one, Sharad Mishra, claiming that people are not being allowed to deposit their old currency notes till March 31 as promised by the Central Government.
The Centre had in its last hearing submitted before the apex court that instead of filing any reply they will argue the matter directly.
The apex court earlier on March 6, issued notice to the government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on plea alleging that people are not being allowed to deposit demonetised currency notes till March 31 as promised.
The central bank on December 31 designated its five offices — Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and Nagpur –to exchange defunct currency notes post 50-day demonetisation period that ended on December 30.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation on November 8 had said, "There may be some who for some reason, are not able to deposit their old 500 or 1,000 rupee notes by December 30, last year.

I wrote to HTC complaining about poor signal strength with my phone. I never mentioned holding the device in different ways affects the strength, as I didnt learn about this until after I wrote them. Heres the response I got back; "My name is Markicia, and I would be happy to assist you today. HTC is tracking trends in regards to the signal for the Incredible. For now, try the below troubleshooting steps in attempts to resolve this issue. When holding the device, you should hold it with your fingertips for optimum strength in signal. Rest assured, HTC is trying to find a fix for the Incredible. When we do so, you will be notified by Email." Wow - thats all I can say...
HTC admits customers have Nexus One 3G trouble, not yet blaming the phone | Wireless News - Betanews Google ceases investigating T-Mobile Nexus One 3G problems T-Mobile Acknowledges Nexus One 3G Problem | TmoNews - Unofficial T-Mobile Blog - News, Videos, Articles and more ...waits for complaints about the EVO.
It has to be their power saver algorithms. I've noticed, although not consistently when I'm using data heavily I get at least 1 extra bar of signal if not more.
Major Fail by HTC! They better get a fix real quick...With so many options in the phone world, people will look elsewhere, Me included!!! My signal and reception still suck after that BS update.
I also emailed HTC about poor signal and poor call quality but my reply from them was a little different. Needless to say after performing the advised *228 options I see no difference in either issue. see reply below: "My name is Mia, and I would be happy to assist you today. HTC is tracking trends in regards to the signal for the Incredible. For now, try the below troubleshooting steps in attempts to resolve this issue. When holding the device, you should hold it with your fingertips for optimum strength in signal. Dial: *228 option 1-phone update *228 option 2- prl update After you have completed these steps, soft reset the device. You can soft reset by powering off the phone, removing the back cover and battery, replace the back cover and battery, and power the phone back on. So that HTC can further track the trends regarding the signal strength for the Incredible please reply with the following information. Please copy and paste this template and fill-in the answers for your reply. 1. What is your location? (City, State, and zip code) 2. What is the Serial Number/MEID Number for your device? You can locate either number on the back of your device under the battery. Let me know if you have noticed any improvements after performing the above trouble shooting steps. I want to apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced. I want to thank you for contacting HTC. In order to help improve our service I
I emailed them about 1 week ago and haven't heard from them yet. "you should hold it with your fingertips for optimum strength in signal"... I'd be scared to even try that .. I can just see it slipping and cracking on the pavement.
Well it isn't really a signal problem. Its more of a cosmetic problem with the bar meter. I put both my Storm 2 and Incredible head to head with the internal Db meters and both had exactly the same Db readings while the Storm 2 was showing 4 bars the Droid only had one but internally the signal strength Db was EXACTLY the same. So its not really a problem with signal at all but with the meter itself showing the wrong signal its like having a faulty gas gage on a car showing 1/2 a tank when you just filled it. The phone is working fine the bar meter is inaccurate.
In the past few hours you've logged about twenty posts all crying about how HTC/Google/Verizon/the Incredible are all terrible. Give it a rest.
I'm not having any issues. I typically have 2 bars all the time, 4 while actually using the phone. I've had no connectivity issues.
Read a little clearer wise guy! First off, The Nexus one does have Major 3G issues..And If im not seeing correctly, there are a TON of threads about people having problems with there incredibles. HOWEVER,,,I did state that I like the phone very much, even with all the problems! So you give it a rest pal...
Your obviously ticked off about your Dad's phone (saw the post). Then the other 20 replies to various other posts where you are basically on a rant about this or that being wrong or broken or inadequate. You can always return the phone for something else if you are that unhappy. Just saying.

I was wondering if anyone out there is looking for a fly-fishing partner? I have been throwing flies for about 7 years. I generally like all types of fly fishing. My favorite style is trout fishing in rivers/streams. I have yet to attempt steelhead fishing on a fly rod, but I hope to try this soon. I like to hike into places and also like to travel. I fished rivers in Canada, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon (and of course Washington). I have family that live in Bend, OR (Deschutes, Crooked, and Metolious rivers as well as hundreds of lakes) and Roseburg, OR (North Umpqua river and smallmouth fishing on the South Umpqua river). So if anyone is interested, I would love to travel to these places sharing driving duties. I live on kitsap peninsula and am more familiar with the fishing on this side. I want to get to know the following areas better: Yakima river, Methow river, Rocky Ford creek, Spokane river, Kettle river, Snoqualamie river, Elwah river and the many lakes around the area. I have had some success with sea run cutties around the area and love to fish for these as well. I also tie some of my own flies and am getting better. I have a very good friend whom I fish with quite often, but I'm looking to fish with some others to learn more and possibly to travel with. My work schedule is such that I work seven days on and then have seven days off. I am will be 30 yrs old in Jan (if people out there have an age restriction). I know this comes late in the season, but I'd still love to hear from you out there. Possibly could make plans for upcoming trips and such. Hope to hear from you soon. Todd PS- I currently have three rods a 4-weight, 5-weight, and an 8-weight so I feel like I have enough variation to cover many different styles of fishing. I also have a float tube and enjoy using this as well.
Hi, My name's Mike and I am an officer down at Fort Lewis. My fly fishing partner, another officer, just got transferred yesterday, so I wouldn't mind fishing with some other guys. There are a couple other soldiers down here who fly fish for trout, salmon, and steelhead as well. I'm 24, will be 25 in December, and have been fly fishing for about 2 years now and really gotten addicted to the sport. I began to tie not too long ago as well....I've fished a fair amount of Washington and fished Oregon, Montana, and Colorado. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in going sometime. Where do you live? What do you do for a living? Talk to you soon... -Mike
Todd and Mike - if either or both of you want to get together, give me a shout. I was planning on Point no Point tomorrow about noon or so but the Snohomish/Skykomish or Stilly would be fine if y'all want to do the traveling. email@example.com or call 425-822-1476 this evening(home computer is fried). BTW my life experiance is about the sum of your two but only about 10 yrs FF'ng. Bart
If your interested in doing any fishing in the SW Washington area(Mt St. Helens south), let me know. I wouldn't mind showing you some fishing spots down here. Paul
Not working right now, so I'm up for heading out quite a bit these days. Just came back from Rocky Ford today - hooked 5, got 2 then my rod broke! I'm on the East Side - I'll make sure to let folks know when I'm headed out. I used to guide in Alaska, but now I'm getting used to fishing down here - I'm a bit spoiled. TG
Well, my normal partner is going though a messy divorce, and with 2 kids he's short on time to make it out. So count me amoug those that are seeking partners. Basically, I do it all, fishing the salt, steelhead, trout, streams, rivers, lakes. I tie 90% of my own flies. If I was said to have a default, it was probably fishing small, canoe accessable lakes. I prefer the lonely ones, and there are many. Typically you won't see me paying to fish, or at any of the big deal places: Lone and Pass lakes, rocky ford or the Yak as there are far too many places to fish to deal with crowds like that. I live in Kirkland.
Thanks to everyone for the response. I am going out the 24th and 25th of this month. The 24th, I will be going right after work (I get off at 7 am). The 25th is pretty much wide open. I would prefer to hit a stream/river because most close on the 31st, however, I'm open to pretty much everything. I was thinking about the Elwah river in Port Angeles. I have fished it a couple of times and done some business. The Elwah, has three different areas to fish: lower (which is below the dams, middle (between the two dams), and upper (above both dams and only accesible by trail, my favorite area). Upper river contains wild rainbows and some bull trout higher up the trail. This is a gorgeous area with a chance to catch some feisty fish. I have never fished this late in the year up there, however, I hear it's good because no one typically goes this time of year. On the 24th, I was thinking about hitting the Snoqualamie. I've fished here one brief time last week up on the south fork, I believe, at the tinkham rd exit. Didn't do real good. I don't know this river but thought the section I fished was beautiful and would like to try some more. Anyone interested in going on the 24th to this area? I up to any of the forks so let me know. These are just a thought, I'm open to some other suggestions as well. Hope to hear from someone soon.
Haven't been able to get out lately but if your going to fish the S/Fork of the Snoqualmie, Tinkham is a bit to high. If I were to fish it I would try going from Exit 34 and down the river. Off the freeway. If you want some good input of this river,just ask Chris the Host of this fine web site. I'm able to go fishing most of the time as I'm retired,not much on hiking, and tired of driving. Right now most on typing as being only one handed as having a cast on my left hand.:AA Jim S.
hey if you want to go fishin sometime i to live on the penninsula port orchard area only 23 but i'm really knowledge able of the area mostly saltwater with a few secret trout ponds that hold very good sized fish never fished with another flyfisherman before might as well find one here i guess to fish with. got a boat and the chums are startin to show so give me a reply if you want to go. am a avid blackmouth fisherman to. later Ben
Heck, if you are going to fish the Snoqualmie, why not hit the area below the falls, its Selcetive area rules, and summer steelhead are in the river, not being hassled by many as the sky is open to all gear. So hitting the confluence of the Tolt or the area above Fall City will put you in good for both trout, sea run cutts, steelies and salmon, not just pipsqueak little rainbows and cutts. Far more fun in my book.
ben, Are you interested in going out on the 24th (wed)? I haven't had much response to the snoqualmie post so how about John's creek or somewhere else (for chums)? I'm game to go anywhere. If interested either respond to this post or e-mail me at email@example.com Hope to hear from you soon. Todd
sorry it took so long to reply i have been pretty busy. johns creek the run is baciclly over acording to the regulars there. but i know of a place that is teaming with chums and coho. it gets dark so early now, that blows. but this saturday or sunday im going out there or if it is not to breezy out at point no point trolling for chums so get back to me if you want to go. later Ben
Hello, wbugger, I live in the Olympia area, but my in-laws live in the Lofall area, up on the Kitsap P, near the Hood Canal bridge. We visit on weekends, sometimes, and I always spend about an hour looking at maps to try to find some good fishing. I, too prefer small stream fishing, but I have a nice 8 weight I'd like to use for steelhead some time. I'm on the M-F 8-5 plan, so most of my free time is on weekends. I've been fly fishing for about 3 years now, but I am pretty enthusiastic about it. I get out at least once a week, and tie about 90% of my own flies. I'd love to meet up with you some time, if our schedules click. I don't have any plans to get up there until about mid-November. Besides the Elwah, what are some good streams in the neighborhood of Hood Canal? I don't suppose you know of any good stream fishing in the Scottsdale, AZ area, do you? The family and I will be there for the first few days of Nov, and I will need to do some fishing, although I don't see myself getting away for very long. Take it easy, and I'll let you know when I'll be in the area. Drew :TT
wbugger. Just an FYI I'd say the Snoqualmie is done for the year. The low water all summer left little flow and may have killed a lot of fish. They also move around in there alot looking for deep spots and cool water. New rains have likely pushed the level back up but put an end to any hatches. the season is really short there. It's a lot of fun to fish but you may just want to drive the extra 40 minutes from Tinkham and hit the yak.

Survey from students: No guns on campus
By Steffanie Atkins, Capital News Service 01/20/13
Eight out of 10 college students in Virginia are against allowing guns on campus, according to a statewide survey conducted by the advocacy group Virginia 21. The organization, which represents young adults in Virginia, has been surveying college and university students about hot-button issues that may crop up during this year's legislative session.
One such issue: whether guns should be permitted on campus. Some Second Amendment advocates say armed students could protect themselves against school shootings like the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007.
Nearly 8,000 students took the Virginia 21 survey, and 83 percent of them said they do not want guns on school property, especially in dormitories. Seven percent of the respondents were unsure about the issue; the others supported the idea of letting guns on campus.
Tom Kramer, executive director for Virginia 21, said students' main concern is dorm rooms.
"We don't want guns in our dorm rooms. That's one of the things we are most worried about. Could you imagine your roommate having a gun and you not knowing about it?" Kramer said.
"Freshmen don't even get to pick who they room with. Do they have a right to know that? That is what really bothers us about a gun bill."
At this point, no bills have been proposed in the 2013 General Assembly to allow guns on school property. However, such a proposal was filed last year.
Kramer wants to make sure the measure doesn't come up again. "If there is one, we are going to basically call all of our chapters up to kill the bill," he said.
According to other preliminary results of the Virginia 21 survey:
• 60 percent of students say they are unaware what their student loan payments will be upon graduation.
• 40 percent of students did not know about career center services on their college campus.
Virginia 21 will announce the complete results of its survey, including responses to topics involving tuition and textbooks, at the group's Lobby Day on Jan. 29.
Students and other young voters from across the state will attend the event to urge legislators to hold down tuition while maintaining the quality of education. The group expects 80-100 supporters.

HCPS wins national honor for overhaul of Code of Student Conduct, supports
Citizen Staff Reports 03/28/2017 Education
Henrico County Public Schools recently was recognized by the National School Boards Association for a sweeping overhaul of the school division's approach to student supports. HCPS was one of five large U.S. school systems recognized with a first-place honor in the 2017 Magna Awards, presented Saturday in Denver at the organization's annual conference. The awards recognize school divisions and leaders "for taking bold and innovative steps to improve the lives of students and their communities," according to the group.
The award recognizes Henrico Schools' efforts of the past several years, from re-examining its policies to implementing more support systems. After a two-year conversation with the community through public hearings and other feedback, HCPS adopted a revised Code of Student Conduct for the 2015-16 school year. > Read more.
Environmentalists say budget hurts efforts to protect bay
By Julie Rothey, Capital News Service 03/28/2017 Government
Environmental groups are outraged at the Trump administration's proposed funding cuts for Chesapeake Bay cleanup programs.
President Donald Trump's budget plan, released last week, reduces the budget for the federal Environmental Protection Agency by 31 percent. That includes a $427 million in funding to address regional pollution, such as the Chesapeake Bay protection efforts. The proposed budget would eliminate funding for the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program, which received $73 million from the federal government in 2016. > Read more.

Virginia raises a toast to George Washington's whiskey
By Megan Corsano, Capital News Service 03/27/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
George Washington is recognized as the father of our country, but with a bill signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Washington also will be recognized under another title – distiller of Virginia's official liquor.
SB 1261, sponsored by Sen. Adam Ebbin of Alexandria, adds a "state spirit" to the list of the commonwealth's official emblems and designations and crowns George Washington's rye whiskey with the title.
The bill, which McAuliffe signed last week, highlights George Washington's contributions to the culture of Virginia as "a native son of Virginia born on February 22, 1732, in Pope's Creek"; "the first American president, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention"; and "a model statesman ... universally acknowledged as the father of our nation." > Read more.

Dan Gardner is the New York Times best-selling author of books about psychology and decision-making and a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.
In Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction, Gardner and co-author Philip Tetlock discuss the biggest forecasting research program ever conducted and distill important lessons about forecasting, teamwork, and good judgment. Superforecasting was chosen as one of the best books of 2015 by The Economist, Bloomberg, and Amazon.
In Future Babble, Gardner looks at the dismal record of expert forecasts and why we keep listening to overconfident pundits. Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker said Future Babble "should be required reading for journalists, politicians, academics, and anyone who listens to them."
In Risk: The Science and Politics of Fear (The Science of Fear in the United States), Gardner reveals why we so often worry about what we shouldn't and don't worry about what we should. The Guardian called it "an invaluable resource for anyone who aspires to think clearly."
Dan Gardner's books have been published in 24 countries and 19 languages.
In addition to writing, Gardner lectures around the world on forecasting, risk, and decision-making. He also consults on how to improve decision-making and implementation.
Prior to becoming an author, Gardner was a newspaper columnist and feature writer whose work won or was nominated for every major award in Canadian newspaper journalism.

Mr Awesome and I have had a week off work. Time to just relax and spend time together away from the stresses of jobs and feeling that we aren't having enough time just for us. We hadn't planned anything particular for the break (or at least I didn't think we had), but on Tuesday morning I was told to pack a suitcase for a couple of nights away.
Socks And Seascapes
A little more than an hour later and we were in the car, off to a destination that could have been to just about anywhere, as my geography is so lacking that I couldn't even work out in which direction we were travelling for quite some time, but turned out to be the Isle Of Sheppey.
I have so many memories of a childhood on this beach in Leysdown, and wonderful memories of my grandfather, that I kept feeling my eyes spontaneously welling up over the days that we were there. The beach and Seaside town of Leysdown were completely unchanged from when I was young, with the same shops and cafes that must have been there for about 30 years or more.
The most important view for me to take in was of Warden Bay and Warden Point, after which these socks, which were knit almost exactly three years ago were named after.
We sat on the beach for quite a while, as I pointed out the cliffs and beaches that made up so many scrambled walks when I was young, and I sat a long while and just took in the view of my childhood.
I told Mr Awesome all about the SS Richard Montgomery, the story of which I learned from my grandfather when I was very young. The details had become vague in my memory as years had passed, but when we managed to find a phone signal and some 3G coverage, we could fill in all the details of this strange and dangerous tale, which really is worth a read.
Giantmonk was, of course, invited along, and so experienced his first ever trip to the seaside. We picked up a single shell from the millions that adorn the beaches of Leysdown and the appropriately named Shellness as a souvenir, and I knit on some appropriately seaside hued striped socks, a long haul WIP.
It was wonderful to re-set our clocks and stretch our legs down long beach walks with the tang of sea salt on our lips and matting our hair in the breeze that swept along the shore. It gave me time to think of those people that I have loved in my life and that are now sadly in the world no more, but also those who now make my life rich and meaningful and who care and love me enough to take me on a mystery break to somewhere that means so much to me.
And as often with a break and relaxation comes a spurt of activity and creativity for me. I spent the evenings before sleep snuggled up with yarn and needles as finally inspiration arrived for a new pair of socks that I had been struggling with, wishing to make best use of the yarn.
After a bright but choppy day on the shore, the beautiful blue hue of the yarn needed something of the sea on the patterning. I had been struggling to make this skein of yarn work as well as I wished it to with all of the various stitches that I tried, but the angular texture that I chose to mimic those crashing waves that we saw hitting the sea wall at high tide in Sheerness show perfectly in this solid coloured yarn, and will do even more so when the socks are blocked once the knitting is complete.
So thank you to Mr Awesome for helping me to re-set my relaxationometer, which has in turn allowed me to gain a new creative spurt in these few days away from the office, to enjoy the days of fresh sea air and sunshine. And thank you to Leysdown and Warden Bay for not changing.

Yosi Samra Reviews
I have super bad feet with surgeries gone wrong etc -- I have been searching for a flat forever. I really wanted to like these. Unfortunately these do not have enough padding underneath and even just trying them I could not walk that well only due to that. So - if you have healthy feet I would say these are really nice. that was my only issue for returning them. I am a size 10 wide and I got the 10s. they were slightly short but I figured they would stretch since they are leather.
Reviewer: Harmony Maffet from WI
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I was so excited to get these shoes. A little bit thicker material all around than a plain black Yosi Samra so my toes would not show through (personally hate that) but they were too small. I am usually a 7-1/2 and even the 8 was too tight in the toes. Another pair going back. The quest for a perfect ballet flat continues.
I rarely write reviews but I felt I had to for these shoes. First, the shipping was super quick. These shoes are adorable. I love them! They felt a bit tight on the toe area but not so much I couldn't wear them, I think they will stretch out a bit once I wear them for awhile. So happy with this purchase. I will be buying different colors of this shoe. These are my favorite pair of shoes now. Would recommend this product.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THESE IS THE COLOR. Years ago --perhaps in the 80's or 90's I had a pair of wedge shoes in this color that were my go-to shoes. It is so neutral that it goes with so many things -- even red. For that reason I feel I always have a pretty looking pair of flip flops that will go with anything. When it's hard to find a coordinating color among my shoes, I immediately think of this pair. I am so very happy that the color blush has been so popular for over a year now, and I can find heels, casual shoes and handbags in this versatile color. [ (some other names are pink, & sand,& whatever creative name someone has come up with ]
This was a cool color but the size was off. Like others have said, these run a little big. I am an 8 but the other pair of Yosi's I ordered was snug, so I decided to order up. Toe box was fine, but too much material along the side and in the back of the shoe. I'm one of those who really needs a 1/2 size.
Reviewer: Ann Richendollar from Michigan
Overall: Comfort: Style:
*LOVE* Looks & fits like Tieks but at a MUCH lower price!! I'm hooked. Been wearing them with thin socks and/or bare feet.
These shoes are very comfortable once they are broken in. They run small so order a full size up. I'm an 8.5-9 and I had to exchange the 9 for a 10. The leather is very soft and they look just like the more expensive tieks. I will be purchasing additional colors
One of the most comfortable pair of flats ever. Comfortable from day 1. No breaking in. I normally wear an 8.5 and ordered a 9 and they are perfect. Plenty of room in toe area so good for my bunion. Will buy other colors
Reviewer: Jennifer from Virginia
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I ordered these looking for a super comfortable pair of flats to wear all day and these were not it. I normally wear a 7.5 and I ordered a size 8 and it was still too small. My toes felt cramped and were touching the outside lining of the shoe. I do not have a wide foot but these seem to be really narrow.
While these shoes are comfortable, overall I was disappointed in them. A 7 was way too small and an 8 was way too big. No half sizes so no other options for me. The thing I did not care for the most about the shoe was the way every lump and bump on my bony feet could be seen through the leather of the shoe. Looked more like slippers than anything else. Unfortunately, they went back.
These shoes just run way too small. I am usually a 7-1/2 or even a 7 in a few brands but an 8 in this shoe was too tight, particularly in the toes. The style of the shoe is gorgeous and much better than the 2.0 style I ordered as there is more structure and you cannot see every lump and bump on the foot through the leather but too small.
Comfort in sole similar to most Yosi Samra shoes but the leather across the top of the foot was so stiff and hard that I could barely walk in these shoes. It was extremely uncomfortable and were returned. Sizing was okay but they really need 1/2 sizes. I am usually a 7-1/2 but even an 8 was a little tight.
Reviewer: Mary Neustrom from Overland Park KS
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Beautiful flip flop. Length is perfect, but the straps were way too big for my feet. Would probably work for most. I'm pretty thin. So sad I have to return them.
These shoes are way more comfortable than the original Yosi Samra flat...But just as cute. They are well cushioned and flexible, and there is no weird rubbing at the heel. My feet do not hurt after wearing these for several hours.
My daughter LOVES her Yosi shoes. Comfy & cute. We ordered in gold; perfect for the Christmas dance! The geometric pattern seems to protect from the look of scuff marks.
Super comfy. I have 3 pair. They are perfect to travel, fold up to throw in purse. These run a full size smaller than my regular size.
These are my absolute favorite ballet flats. The main difference between these and all the lovely designer flats, is the comfort level. From day one, these are soft and sweet on your feet - no cuts, callouses, battle wounds or breaking in time. The leather on these holds up splendidly and they're simple to clean if something does get to them. The fold up and tuck away in the dust bag feature is so useful and I utilize it often - no better shoe for traveling, as so many pairs/colors can fit in a suitcase, compared to styles that don't fold in half. Folding these does not diminish their shape or quality over time. Fantastic flats - having them in four colors, the black is perfect and goes with many, many looks. Just say yes to these - they're worth it. ORDER ONE FULL SIZE UP! Otherwise, the toe box is too tight and causes pain.
These leather flats from Yosi Samra have become a must for every closet. So comfortable that I forget they're even on! Gorgeous quality and color, haven't had a pair need to be replaced yet. Best part? These shoes fold in half and fit into the tidy drawstring bag that comes with them, making it so simple to throw them in bag for later. The navy is by far the prettiest color so far. Order one full size up - true for every person I know who owns these!
Reviewer: Knittingdoc from Suburb Of Chicago
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Very comfortable. I usually wear 7.5 so ordered 8. That was a good decision. The elastic is a bit casual looking, but in black you can't tell. The rose gold was more casual looking. Even though there was no arch support, I was able to wear it at work (lots of walking) over 9 hours without thinking about my feet. I would buy it again.

I`m not quite sure what getting behind the wheel of a BM does to ppl, mainly males but it changes them. All of a sudden they think their 'bad' and have to drive like complete a55holes Here`s a few examples of bad driving by BM owners. I was coming back from Milton Keynes a few mths ago on the M1. The traffic was really heavy and three cars undertook me, all of them were BMW`s! I was in the middle lane and when it slowed down a little they had to undertake, they are so important, you should never try and stop one from getting where they need to be I was driving along a 50mph road yesterday morning and one came screaming past me at what must have been 70+. Funny thing was when I got to the lights he was sat there waiting... speeding got u nowhere! Just prior to that I was waiting at a roundabout to go left, a BM came from the right and using both lanes it goes straight on and then again over both lanes and up the dual carriageway like a race track What do I do when I see a BM behind me? Pi55 them off as much as poss cuz its my way of getting back at them for being w4ankers. I`ll slow down if I`m on a normal road. If I`m on a dual carriageway with one behind me I pull alongside another car and go at the same speed
I live with one of them, but i couldnt agree with you more. Experienced them twice over the last week on the M42.
exellent, keep up the good work! they are typiclly sales reps or managers who know sh!t all about cars and think having a bmw makes them the best. people buy 3 series for the same reason as sheep follow eachother, - they dont know any better. BMW make great cars i admit but i would'nt buy one because i dont want to be labelled as a big headed *****. they're like a 15yr old kid with the latest mobile phone. tossers.
add Passat drivers to the list, will you? Have lost count of how many of these drive just like the worst beemer drivers, whenever they see a nice audi, desperate to get past or prove that somehow their car was the better choice.. Ive even had it while parked in a car park, a guy got out of his passat to tell me that it was just the same as my audi under the bonnet but had saved £thousands by comparison, and walked off looking more smug than your average french bloke. I confess I had a 3 series for a while (better now), but the treatment from other road users is appalling, was a big factor in getting rid.. but Id never even consider a passat now.. no redeeming features, and clearly driven by twats who would have bought a beemer if they could afford it. grrrr.
I still want a 120d, even if it makes me drive like (more of) a twat, drove one last week and thought it was brilliant!
Add some volvo drivers!!!!! Our town centre is full of speed bumps, very severe ones too, whilst drivin through the town on saturday, with my missus and the little un in the car, I was slowing down for every speed hump and crawling over them, see the car pics you'll understand why, whilst the volvo driver behind me seemed to find this irritating and felt the need to have his horn button depressed and his light flashing at every speend bump , whilst in between spee dbumps he was waving at me using his two fingers, as you can understand this ever so slightly enraged me LOL, and took all the persausion from my missus not to got out of the car and have an adult discussion with the guy , so to accommodate the gentleman i was forced to drive right through the busy town (4 miles) at around 20MPH which he found even more distressing i pulled into the petrol station at the end of town and he drove passed waving again!! But wouldn't stop and talk to me LOL Some people eh??? LOL
Another fine example of the typical BM driver was yesterday morning. I decided to bike to work, waiting at a crossing, lights go to red and a car stops directly in front of me so I can`t go across even though I have a green to cross. What make and model car was is? BMW 3 series driven by a woman, she moved forwards as I mouthed obscenities at her
I used to bike to work but stopped it due to three or four near misses, and about a half dozen kicked off wing mirrors LOL. I think the government should make everyone who drives cycle everywhere for at least one day, it would raise cyclist awareness.
Why do they stick the M sport badge on infront of the 3, leaving the 3 in it's original position and taking the 18i badges off?! Like it isn't obvoius or anything! Maybe it gets them an extra 50bhp???
I was going to start a new thread but saw this. I got to work a while ago, and now i am in a very bad mood. The usual "banker" of a 530 sport driver in the right lane at a roundabout, me in the left turning left and he shot out around me cutting me up turning left, I got along side him at the next roundabout and offered him a coffee, but he did the "I'm looking straight ahead and i can't see you so i didn't do anything wrong" Makes my blood boil. Why put us both at risk to save 10 seconds of travelling time. I actually owned a 330 coupe sport for about 10months and it was a lovely car but i dont ever remember driving like that, I actually used my indicators and didn't have my fog lights on all the time like most! Dont get me started on X5 drivers! Rant over. Perhaps make this a sticky thread? Every forum should have one! lol
Yours must have had the optional extra of the indicator stalk, most dont come with them as standard! LOL
Why were they able to undertake you 3 at a time? Lane hogging were we? Frustrating them only encourages them to take more risks, endagering you, them and anyone else nearby. Your proposed behaviour behind the wheel is a catalyst to their errant driving. Your driving would seem to be as much a part of the problem as their attitude. Personally, if I see someone in a rush I'll let them crack on, just as I would expect them to do for me. The only cars I refuse to let pass are Mini Copper S'. Gay Car of 2006 and totally ******* ghey.
I was driving to work on Friday and I saw an X5 waiting to turn across my lane and go down a side street. Only problem was that I had loads of cars in front of me and loads behind, none of us were going to let her out It made me so happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Burn in hell BM drivers
They're now so common it's hardly surprising someone driving stupidly will ultimately be driving the ultimate driving machine. Basically the Cavalier of the millenium, driven by the same self important "business" twats desperate to get home to their toytown houses to watch Dragons Den on their huge Plasma. Such a cliche, but so true.
lol... I was a ****** prior to having my BMW... It was the Audi that made me what I am. BMW drivers dont indicate and drive fast but Audi drivers indicate at the last minute and pull into the lane anyways whilst driving fast - even if the space is not big enough. So I think its fair to say both and all drivers are knob ends. Lowride by acting a knob back by slowing them down etc, you are just as bad...
A few years ago (I'm still on therapy) I got ran off the road by a BMW Cab that pulled out of a junction on me I ended up parked up the verge about 10 yards off the road. This wasn't so bad (he wrecked my Cat!) but the B****rd only went a drove off without stopping. So (heres the good part! sort off) I jumped back into my car and chased him up the road through the village,through a speed camera and up to some traffic lights.he stopped so I jumped out of the car and the b****rd ran the red light, at that point I thought it had got a bit much so let him go, but a bike was following me and asked what happened when I told him he said if he caught him he'd kick the door! . Anyway when I rang the police to report him they told me as there was no witnesses they weren't even coming out !! So I had to buy the new Cat before the next MOT I know you are all going to say you shouldn't have chased him, and your right, but I was so furious that he didn't stop to see if I was ok ! My car ended up parked at an angle on the verge!
Sorry (It's ok really I'm still on therupy and that helps me cope with a friend driving a 3 series cab!)
Yeh, only had it a week. Made a few hundred quid on it though, and had a bit of fun too! Unfortunately, the thumb was pressing hard into my forehead, so it had to go. She is Audi, Audi, Audi.......! I must admit I do like BMW's, especially the older ones, E34 5 series in particular. Saying that, I was brought up to love Audi's, ever since my Dad bought a brand new Audi 90 2.2 back in '88!

TurningPoint for Faculty
TurningPoint is a student engagement system that allows instructors to ask questions, take polls, give quizzes, and get feedback from students during class. TurningPoint has a clicker device and a bring-your-own-device system, which means that students can use any web-enabled device (laptops, tablets, smartphones) to respond to polls. Please note that some instructors do not allow students to use ResponseWare, requiring them to purchase a clicker. Students must create a Turning Account and purchase a clicker and/or Turning ResponseWare License to participate. The steps are available on our Turning Student Support page.
Turning Account Support and Related Links

We encourage faculty using Turning Technologies to include a statement regarding academic honesty in their syllabi. Dr. Edward Panetta from Communication Studies shared his statement:
As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University's academic honesty policy, "A Culture of Honesty," and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in "A Culture of Honesty" found at http://www.uga.edu/honesty. I consider sharing the daily clicker attendance responses or other clicker details with a student who is not in the classroom to be a violation of the honor code. Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for any violation of the honor code. Any questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.

As fleets everywhere work on cutting fuel expenses, one strategy is shedding pounds anywhere they can stand to lose them. "Most fleets that are fuel conscientious are weight conscientious. The heavier the unit weighs, the higher cost per mile to operate it."

I guess the video speaks for itself. Korg Monotron is a tiny, little analog synth with nice sound. But it's controlled not with keys, but a ribbon controller which can make Monotron quite difficult to play in pitch. AfroDjMac sampled it, racked up in Ableton and added some more flavour ;).
ps. Don't forget to check other freebies cos every week AfroDjMac releases new racks.

Car Audio "Where do you buy yours?"
Hello. I am wondering, where is your favorite place to shop for car audio? Simple question for the DIY crowd. Personally I like Craigslist. Thanks! From Arizona.

I don't strictly use one (pros and cons to each) but I personally prefer eBay.
I have used eBay quite a lot for both myself and customers but I am no longer dealing with individuals below about 50 feedback (with exceptions) when it comes to buying car audio items. Power sellers constantly impress me, while individuals seem to constantly dissappoint me pretty much. If I use eBay for electronics usually it's from power sellers/reputable eBay stores. I constantly have problems finding retail stores that actually have items in stock or that are not selling damaged returns on the shelf. I don't know how retail stores can even stay in business now due to horrible customer services, excellent competition via eBay/internet, and failure to actually KEEP ITEMS IN STOCK! If it's for someone else, and/or on short notice, I've bought average (but good) sat. radios & stereos from Circuit City because I can check what's ACTUALLY IN STOCK from the web page. I've used Craigslist for other items...and sold car a car amp or two on there...but can't figure out why so many people seem to think they can get top dollar for stuff you can find on eBay cheaper! But at least using Craigslist you don't have to worry about getting screwed by PayPal. I will say this: had nothing but problems from "repaired" or "refurbished" amps from eBay sellers! (MTX, Lighting Audio, more..) So watch out! |

I would also say eBay is the place of choice for the vast majority. You really do need to have pretty good judgement of character skills dealing with so many different characters.
Over my 4 year span of dealing priviately online I have made several friends and probally have met as many people that I would like to have there finger nails pulled out one by one. This is just the way it goes. eBay name Germany: sabine-paul (350) eBay name US: mr.old_school (24) |

I had a couple of bad experiences in the past. But I guess dealing with so many different people this is bound to happen.

I have had reasonably good luck on ebay. You have to know what you are buying and ask, ask, ask if you have any questions about anything. I have been burned a couple of times by "handling" charges. I now ask many questions to insure I don't pay $18 for an actual $3 shipping charge, which actually happened to me.
Same holds true with buying from Craigslist or similar places. There are many, many people out to swindle others. In fact, I think it is safe to say that some people will do anything to make a buck, or steal a buck. I think a person is far ahead to buy a reasonably decent piece of old school gear and have it revamped if needed, rather than buy some of the disposable equipment that is being made today. But one of the great things about all this is we can all do what we want. To each, his own. |

What do you guys think about what ebay is doing now with not being able to see who bidders are and other changes to help buyers? Doesn't that kind of protect the ones that might hose somebody?

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has demanded twice yearly medical screenings for Premier League players after admitting he was worried not enough is being done to protect them.
There has been no further update on the condition of Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba since last night, when it was confirmed the 23-year-old was able to answer questions and speak in both French and English.
It represents a dramatic improvement for Muamba, whose heart stopped for two hours following his collapse during the first half of his side's FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham on Saturday evening.
Mancini was relieved at the latest bulletin but cannot understand how the Premier League has allowed a situation that puts the safety of players at risk.
"I was really worried on Sunday," the Italian said. "Today I have read he has improved and I am very happy for him and his family.
"But if you want to know my opinion, it is that here in England, the best championship in the world, everything is fantastic.
"But we need to improve the medical side for the players.
"We need to screen the players often, maybe two times a year and they have to be more accurate because they don't do this.
"When I saw our medical two years ago, I was really worried. I said we need to do them better."
Past problems in Italy led to a far more stringent series of medical tests than the ones which players must undergo in England.
After replacing Mark Hughes as City boss in 2009, Mancini could not believe the Premier League, with all its money and claims of being the best league in the world, did not operate to the same standards.
"It is impossible that a young guy could die on the pitch because they didn't do a medical accurately," he said. "I want all the players, not just ours, to have more accurate medicals.
"And always, not once a year. Every six months. This is really important for the players because it is totally different today than it was 20 years ago. It is very important.
"What happened to Muamba and other players in the past can't happen again."
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has already announced there would be a review of medical procedures, even though the high level of care Muamba received after collapsing at White Hart Lane owed much to the fallout from the fractured skull suffered by Chelsea goalkeeper Cech five and a half years ago.
At the time, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hit out at the delay in Cech being transferred to hospital following his serious head injury during a game at Reading.
Chelsea made an official complaint that led to a Premier League and Football Association review, from which measures were introduced that included an ambulance being in place at stadia for the exclusive use of players and club doctors attending every game.
Speaking at the Sport Industry Breakfast club in London this morning, Scudamore said: "Incidents and events shape policy, shape developments, shape progress.
"What we will certainly be doing is looking at every aspect of what happened and if there are ways and means of improving, if there are ways and means of making it better in the future - just like we did in 2006-07 following the Petr Cech incident - we will do everything we can to make sure we reduce to the point of elimination, if we possibly can, things like that.
"There are no guarantees but we will do whatever we can to improve."
Scudamore admitted the Cech incident had been "a wake-up call" for the Premier League.
He added of Muamba: "It's been a difficult three days for everybody involved in the game, particularly those closest to Fabrice.
"The whole of the last three days, we've played out lots of scenarios, clearly.
"Let's hope, God willing, that the progress he's making continues to be made and that he makes as decent a recovery as he can.
"In some ways, his life, if it is saved - and let's hope it has been saved - is as a result of the things a lot of us put in place after what happened with Petr Cech.
"If you saw what happened on Saturday, the immediate attention, everybody comes out of this with huge credit, the referee, the match officials, the way the medics were there.
"Jose Mourinho made some strident comments about the treatment that Petr Cech got.
"Everything that we've put in place since helped Fabrice at least have a chance."
