When it was announced that TomTom would be bringing the famous Mr Burns from The Simpsons to their satnavs we asked you what satnav voices you would like to have. |
We got such a great set of responses that we thought we'd add a bit of competition to proceedings by offering two downloads of the TomTom app for iPad and iPhone to the top two suggestions. |
With his disturbingly calm voice and lingering menace HAL would definitely keep you on your toes, constantly having you wondering why he was directing you towards unfinished bridges and the tops of abandoned quarries. "Just what do you think you are doing?" |
To be quite honest we just like the idea of everyone who owns a satnav being called 'Dave' at the end of every instruction. |
1. Liam Neeson in Taken: "I don't know who you are, but if you don't take the next right, I will find you, and I will kill you" |
2. Adam West (Family Guy): We're almost entirely certain that if Adam West was giving satnav instructions he probably wouldn't mention any satnav instructions. |
3. Victor Meldrew (One foot in the grave): Lots and lots of anger. |
4.Kieth Lemon: Everything you did, good or bad, would be 'Bang tidy'. |
5. Albert Arkwright (Open All Hours): You might miss a few turn offs. |
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all of you who gave us your suggestions there were some true gems and many a chortle had in the T3 offices.

From sophisticated to casual, the Fabulous Rag has you covered. Featuring a colorful collection of contemporary juniors and women’s clothing, the five-year-old boutique thrives on Garnet Avenue under the ownership of Iris (who uses only her first name). Known to locals as the “store with the stairs,” the boutique is ri... |
According to Iris, her boutique carries a bit of everything, including accessories, but it is best known for its collection of stylish dresses and occasional wear in small, medium and large sizes. Iris manufactures her apparel in the United States and also has clothing sources within the U.S. and abroad. Boutique price... |
Iris grew up in the apparel trade and the textile industry runs in her blood. Her family owned chains of apparel stores abroad, and in her 20s, she conducted fashion shows and learned about fabric and textiles. In her 30s, Iris put business on hold to have children, but in her 40s, she felt inspired to work with women ... |
Iris enjoys helping local charities and generously donates prom dresses to disadvantaged girls at three local high schools. In the past six weeks, she’s also done three charity fundraisers for UCSD, and she recently completed one for the Mission Valley YMCA. |
Iris operates the boutique with the help of Adriana (Adi) Guss, her casual attire buyer and store manager for four years. |
“Come in and see Adi for a free gift,” Iris said. |
SEOUL (Reuters) - General Motors said its loss-making South Korean operations would file for bankruptcy if its union did not agree to cut labor costs by April 20, heaping pressure on workers and the South Korean government to swiftly agree a rescue plan. |
The U.S. automaker announced in February it would shut down one of its four factories in South Korea, and asked for government support and union concessions to stay in South Korea. |
Barry Engle, the President of GM International, also told the union leader of GM Korea on Monday the unit needed to secure $600 million in operating funds by the end of April, the union said in a document reviewed by Reuters. |
A GM Korea spokesman said the union concessions were needed for the automaker to present a confirmed turnaround plan to the government by April 20. GM wanted the union to reach a wage deal by the end of March, he added. |
If GM Korea failed to present the plan by April 20 it would have no choice but to file for bankruptcy, the spokesman said. |
The crisis at GM Korea has created challenges the administration of President Moon Jae-In, who came to power last year promising to prioritize job creation. |
A government official told Reuters GM appeared to be “using threats to ramp up pressure on the union to make concessions by the end of March”. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. |
Engle, based in Detroit, has made a flurry of visits to South Korea this year. He met the chairman of GM Korea’s second-largest shareholder, state-funded South Korean Development Bank, on Tuesday morning, followed by vice industry minister Lee In-ho later in the day, according to the GM spokesman. |
South Korea was for years a low-cost export hub for GM, producing close to a fifth of its Chevy global output at its peak. |
But the automaker’s decision to exit other unprofitable markets have exacerbated problems for GM Korea. |
Almost 2,500 workers at GM Korea, some 15 percent of its staff, have applied for a redundancy package that the U.S. automaker is offering as part of a drastic restructuring, union officials have said previously. |
According to the union, Engle said GM Korea may consider more voluntary redundancies for the remaining 680 workers at the Gunsan factory which will face a shutdown by May. |
Engle said the South Korean government should also promise to provide support for GM Korea by April 20, the union document said. |
Earlier this month, KDB began a due-diligence review of GM South Korea to decide whether to inject more capital into the unit. The review is expected to be completed by mid-May. |
The union said earlier this month it will not demand a pay rise and bonuses this year, but instead wants the U.S. automaker to provide a future production plan and job security. |
GM Korea still wants the union to agree to cut benefits worth 80-90 billion won ($74-$84 million), a union official said on Tuesday. The automaker had already achieved cost cuts of over 500 billion won through union concessions on wages and bonuses and voluntary redundancies, the union official added. |
GM Korea plans to slash 5,000 jobs, or about 30 percent of its workforce, but keep production steady if Seoul agrees to its $2.8 billion restructuring proposal, according to a document seen by Reuters earlier this month. |
GM Korea, which employs nearly 16,000 people, has said that without new funding from its major shareholders it would face a first-quarter “cash crisis”. |
GM owns 77 percent of its South Korean unit GM Korea, while KDB owns a 17 percent stake. GM’s main Chinese partner, SAIC Motor Corp Ltd, controls the remaining 6 percent. |
GM headquarters in Detroit has lent its South Korean unit some $2.7 billion won, which it offered to swap into equity if it gets government support and union concessions. |
GM last month agreed to grant temporary relief in repaying 700 billion won in debt due at the end of February, with more debts due in the coming months. |
Hundreds of trees will be removed at a state park near Bay City because of infestation by the emerald ash borer. |
BAY CITY – Hundreds of trees will be removed at a state park near Bay City because of infestation by the emerald ash borer. |
Some trees at the Bay City State Recreation Area in Bay County are 100 feet tall. The Bay City Times (http://bit.ly/1K1iHuc) says Norman Wood Products is paying the state to harvest the trees and keep any usable wood. |
The work could begin next week on more than 500 trees. Park manager George Lauinger says it’s a shame that so much leafy shade will be lost. He says he loved have a wooded park. |
A local group that supports the park will be discussing ways to replace the trees. Roger Michalski, who leads the group, says he’d like to see pine, maple and oak trees. |
Russian billionaire Yuri Milner has announced a new initiative called Breakthrough Listen, a 10-year project that will search for radio and light signals emitted by extraterrestrials. At a cost of $100 million, it’s the largest sum of money ever allocated to the effort. |
As a discrete SETI endeavor, Breakthrough Listen will dwarf anything that has preceded it. As reported in Reuters, less than $2 million is spent each year on SETI projects around the globe. Milner’s new project is set to use some of the world’s largest radio telescopes, and be advised by a hand-picked team of scientifi... |
What’s more, technological improvements—including boosts in computer power and telescope sensitivity—will make Milner’s dollars go much further than they did in the past when SETI had more significant funding. New tools will allow SETI scientists to scan several billion radio frequencies at a time, and search 10 times ... |
I am here today because I believe the Breakthrough Initiatives are critically important. To understand the universe you must know about atoms. About the forces that bind them, the contours of space and time. The birth and death of stars, the dance of galaxies, the secrets of black holes. But that is not enough. These i... |
To which Milner added: “Today we are launching the most comprehensive search program ever. Just in one day Breakthrough Listen will collect more data than a year of any previous search,” he was quoted as saying in the Belfast Telegraph. |
Milner, an entrepreneur who made his money through investments in tech firms such as Facebook, was named after Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, and devoured Carl Sagan’s book, Intelligent Life in the Universe, when he was a 10-year-old living in Moscow. |
“It’s the most interesting technological question of our day,” said Milner in an interview. |
Over the course of the next 10 years, Milner hopes to see the project listen for radio transmissions in the Milky Way, along with the 100 nearest galaxies (the latter of which is an astronomical long-shot given the extreme distances involved, but it’s worth trying). The radio scans will cover the largest spectrum ever. |
Encouragingly, Milner is not limiting the search to just radio signals; the project is set to hunt for light-based signals using a telescope at the Lick Observatory in California. Breakthrough Listen will also use and develop new software, which will be open-source. |
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department announced Tuesday it is settling its lawsuit against the merger of American Airlines and US Airways by requiring the combined airline to give up slots at key airports across the country to low-cost competitors. |
The department filed papers in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia to announce the settlement that will avoid a trial scheduled to start Nov. 25. |
The settlement clears the way for American and US Airways to become the world's largest airline, nearly two years after American filed its bankruptcy case to reorganize. |
The settlement will increase presence of low-cost airlines in Boston, Chicago's O'Hare, Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles, Miami, New York's LaGuardia and Washington's Reagan National airports. |
stop and connecting routes throughout the country." |
"This is very good news and we are grateful to all who have made it happen," said Doug Parker, CEO of US Airways, and incoming CEO of the combined airline, which will be based in Dallas/Fort Worth and go by American. "We are pleased to have this lawsuit behind us and look forward to building the new American Airlines t... |
Under the terms of the settlement, the airlines will divest 52 slot pairs at Reagan and 17 slot pairs at LaGuardia. The airlines will also surrender two gates each at Boston's Logan airport, O'Hare, Dallas Love Field, Los Angeles and Miami. |
Bill Baer, the assistant attorney general for the antitrust division, told reporters Tuesday that the Justice Department was confident in its case, but that the settlement would boost competition by forcing the combined airline to give up slots at competitive airports. |
Baer cited Southwest's gain of slots at Newark, following the United merger with Continental, and JetBlue's gain at Reagan, for lowering airfares and boosting competition. Baer said the number of slots the combined American will give up at seven airports will be the most in merger history. |
"It provides more competition than exists today in this industry," Baer said. "That is good news for consumers all across the country who will benefit from more choices and more competitive airfares." |
After completion of the required divestitures, the combined company expects to operate 44 fewer daily departures at Reagan and 12 fewer daily departures at LaGuardia than the approximately 290 daily DCA departures and 175 daily LGA departures that American and US Airways operate today. |
Parker said the combined airline must still decide which destinations to drop because of the lost slots at Reagan and LaGuardia. But he said they would be announced with enough time for the airlines that acquire the slots to decide whether to continue serving those communities. |
"We do indeed serve some communities that it is unlikely will be served by those that pick up these slots," Parker said. |
Tom Horton, CEO of American, said the loss of slots is relatively modest, totaling about 15% of the combined airlines' slots at Reagan and 7% at LaGuardia. |
But the airlines said the changes wouldn't reduce total employment at the new company. |
"This is an important day for our customers, our people and our financial stakeholders," Horton said. "This agreement allows us to take the final steps in creating the new American Airlines." |
The companies now expect to complete the merger in December. Completion of the merger remains subject to the approval of the settlements by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. |
To maintain its service to small and medium-size airports that US Airways warned might suffer from a reduction in slots at Reagan and LaGuardia, the combined company announced plans to use its gates at Reagan to serve those communities. |
Another part of the settlement also committed the combined American to maintain its hubs in Charlotte, New York's JFK, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, Philadelphia and Phoenix. For a period of five years, the merged company will continue daily service from those hubs to each of the states participating in the lawsu... |
Delta Air Lines issued a statement welcoming the agreement and saying the airline "looks forward to the opportunity to acquire slots that will be divested under the agreement, particularly at Washington-Reagan National Airport." Delta said it is the airline best positioned to continue competitive non-stop flights from ... |
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Ohio voters who have flipped between parties in past presidential elections and supported Donald Trump in 2016 now say their first choice in 2020 is ... Barack Obama. |
Why it matters: Obama isn't running. And none of the 18 Democrats actually running have broken through in rural Ohio as the antidote to President Trump. |
Five of the six Obama/Trump voters would pick Obama if he could run again in 2020. Among the reasons: Obama is "more of a diplomatic person," as one participant put it; another said he's "more intellectual." |
Another common refrain: "I think this country needs a sense of calmness," said Brenda R., a 62-year-old Obama/Trump voter. |
Yes, but: It's only April, so the Democrats running will have plenty of time to change voters' minds in places like this. But these swing voters' desire to rebuke Trump by voting for his predecessor shows the long road ahead for 2020 Democrats hoping to break through in some parts of the Midwest. |
Between the lines: All but two of the participants said their 2016 vote was a vote against the other candidate, not for the person they supported. "I wanted something new and different to shake it up in a more positive way," said Brenda R. |
When these swing voters were asked if there was anyone not running for president in 2020 that they wished would run, Obama was the only name that came up. |
What they're saying: Christopher Martinez, a 42-year-old IT specialist who voted for Trump, said although he hasn't made a decision about who to support in 2020, "if it were someone like Obama then maybe I'd vote against Trump." His bottom line: "Somebody that's very honest and transparent." |
Lynn Savial, a retired librarian who voted Republican for 45 years until she went for Clinton in 2016, said Trump "has been much worse than I thought." |
She's looking for a candidate with "a strong personality, but someone who has high ideals. Not a person that lies like Trump ... Even if it’s something I don’t want to hear, I want them to be really honest." |
Christopher DiRando, a 24-year-old high school teacher who voted for Trump, is not planning on doing the same in 2020. "I will definitely not vote for Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren; I just want to see a level-headed, competent person." |
The bottom line: These Ohio swing voters are craving normalcy, and they're defining that by who they already know — Obama. That shows how far the crop of 2020 Democrats have to go before any of them can take his place. |
Federal prosecutors in South Dakota released an indictment Wednesday night charging Paul Erickson, a longtime Republican operative best known as the boyfriend of Russian agent Maria Butina, with 11 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. "This indictment against him tonight describes alleged crimes that, on the surf... |
Maddow read from the indictment. "Now, what does this have to do with Paul Erickson's purported Russian secret agent girlfriend, now that she's plead guilty and is cooperating with prosecutors? We don't know," she said, but there are several payments from Erickson's allegedly fraudulent funds that appear to be to Butin... |
By Justin Broadbent, founder and chairman of Isoenergy in Horley. |
We recently held an open day at ISOenergy, to give people the chance to find out more about domestic and non-domestic renewable energy sources, how we install them, the benefits and pitfalls, and how everything works in practice. |
Thankfully the rain held off, and we were also able to complete a number of site tours - and show off some of the kit - without getting wet. It was a great opportunity for me to field questions from those with an interest in what we do and, importantly, to get a feel for the pressing issues on their minds, too. During ... |
For some, the cost of coming off the National Grid can seem insurmountable, the price of self sufficiency too high. All is not lost, though. To meet increasing demand, certain lenders have begun launching products specifically designed for those wishing to finance renewable technology installations. As demand increases... |
For some, this just isn’t viable. In those cases, the worst thing you can do is to attempt to beat the system (I’m looking at you, Stephen Brimstone). |
With the enquiry into the ex-DUP adviser heating up this week, the spotlight has been shone on the RHI scheme and the strict regulations around it. Mr Brimstone was using a boiler on the non-domestic scheme to heat his home, which is not permitted. To say that he has landed himself in hot water is something of an under... |
Cheating is never the best way to get what you want, and there are plenty of options out there for those who want to implement renewable energy, even if the funds are not immediately available. |
