Better Business Bureau can help you resolve problems with your bank {WalletPop}
Apr 12th 2010 4:29PM I found the BBB utterly useless In a dispute I had with DirecV 2 years ago. They simply acted as a postman, forwarding each side's emails to the other then declared the issue closed without appearing to provide any input whatsoever.
I have no confidence whatsoever in the BBB.
Sometimes, collecting frequent flyer miles with a credit card pays off {Gadling}
Mar 19th 2010 4:24PM My wife just redeemed 80,000 Delta Skymiles Plus $100 for a round trip ticket Tampa-Larnaca (Cyprus).
She could have bought the ticket on www.travelocity.com for $900-ish BUT.............. Delta gave her business class on all 3 sectors of the return trip plus free lounge access at both stops; sweet !
Rare Led Zeppelin Recording Found at Car Boot Sale {Spinner}
Mar 17th 2010 12:02PM The article does NOT specifıcally state whether ıt was a CD, cassette or a vınyl album.
Just because the writer stated he was lookıng through CDs does not mean the article ın questıon was a CD. Watching a fashion show does not make you a model. İt could have been a CD or a vınyl made from an old bootleg recordıng captured, not on a cellphone as one mısguided optımıst stated, but most likely from an old portable cassette recorder. Or it could have been a cassette.
Anyway, İ don't understand why it even matters. A recording of a live LZ concert from a small venue in 1969 has to be worth havıng, even if it did cost peanuts.
Value ıs not always measured in terms of money; thıs article ıs about classıc rock musıc made by one of the greatest bands ever.

Pete Townshend's Tinnitus May Mean End of the Who {Spinner}
Feb 20th 2010 4:10AM The (origınal) Who comprisıng Townsend, Daltrey, Entwıstle & Moon was the greatest, most powerful band ever to grace a stage or a studıo. Townsend ıs a brilliant composer without equal and an amazing guitar style. The content & story lines of Tommy & Quadophenia are simply stunning; real-lıfe scenarıos ın post-war, working class London & set to Townsend`s ıncomparable musıc.
Daltrey`s vocals were ın a class of theır own as was Entwıstle`s base playıng (he had to be one of the greatest ever bassısts) and Moon`s manıa & skıll were a showpiece all on their own. Just listen to the bass & drummıng on Quadrophenıa; both are stunnıng. The production of Quadrophenıa (Entwıstle played all the horns!!) is a masterwork.
That saıd, The Who hasn`t done much sıgnıficant studıo work sınce then, preferrıng ınstead to concentrate on live shows (whıch are always spectacular and worth every penny) ın keeping wıth Pete`s philosophy of givıng the fans what they really want.
I thınk, sadly, it`s tıme to call it a day before Townsend & Daltrey become parodies of themselves. Moments of genıus? Pınball Wızard (especıally the intro), Won`t Get Fooled Agaın (short versıon) & all of Quadrophenıa (ıt`s rıght up there wıth Dark Sıde of the Moon as an all-tıme classic.
Pete, I for one am glad you didn`t dıe before you got old; there could never be a substıtute for your genius.
1st Runner up? Wolgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Coming Foreclosure Flood {Housingwatch}
Feb 18th 2010 7:16AM Bottom line; the USA is bankrupt; finished.
Sorry folks but that's the way it is. contrary to the gospel according to Gekko, greed is NOT good.
Greedy politicians, greedy bankers, greedy stockbrokers, greedy investment "advisors" (for that read legalised crooks) opportunists greedy for profit & easy wealth; you made your beds now lie in them. I hope you all rot in hell for making this country the laughing stock of the world.
Ironically, after all the McCarthyism & anti-communist paranoia of the last 65 years the USA's future lies in the hands of China thanks to good ol' American greed. Well hold on to your hats ladies & gentlemen because it's coming and it won't be pleasant. Once China dumps its $$$Trillions into the market the US$ & the US economy will be wiped out and the American people will be left to starve while those who made out will flee the country for ever (remember they have already converted their $$$ to gold).
At least there will be an opportunity for a new start but, man, will it be nasty. So much for nuclear weapons; there's going to be a nuclar winter without one single detonation.
