GMP Ranks First for Canada Equity Sales, Ousting RBC Capital
GMP Capital Inc., the second-worst Canadian financial stock this year, is the top adviser on equity sales in the country for the first time, tapping its links to the energy industry to oust bigger rival RBC Capital Markets.
GMP Securities managed 38 initial public offerings and secondary stock sales worth $2.52 billion this year, topping BMO Capital Markets and CIBC World Markets by number and value of deals. GMP led more IPOs than all the bank-owned advisers combined.
GMP's equity financings included Athabasca Oil Sands Corp.'s C$1.35 billion ($1.32 billion) sale, the biggest IPO in Canada in more than a decade. GMP also led IPOs for Tahoe Resources Inc. and Tricon Capital Group Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"If you look at the sectors that are firing, even in this economy, it's the commodity sector, most notably precious and non-precious metals, and oil and gas," said Harris Fricker, 46, who becomes CEO of Toronto-based GMP on Oct. 1. "We happen to be very adept in both areas," he said in an interview.
GMP has gained ground with energy offerings after spending two years reorganizing its business under investment banking co-head Dan Tsubouchi, a former oil-and-gas analyst. GMP has about 10 bankers working on Tsubouchi's team in Calgary, Canada's energy hub. Before this year, GMP's best ranking was fourth in 2006, based on Bloomberg data that excludes preferred share sales.
"Athabasca was a home run for them," said Neil Manji, national IPO services leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in Toronto.
Stock Plunge
The top equity ranking hasn't helped GMP's stock. The shares have fallen 29 percent since Athabasca began trading in April, to C$10.18 yesterday on the Toronto Stock Exchange. GMP, down 19 percent this year, trails only Manulife Financial Corp. among the worst performers in the 44-company S&P/TSX Financials Index.
Athabasca Oil Sands was Canada's worst-performing IPO in more than two years after its first month of trading, and has fallen 43 percent from its C$18 IPO price.
Tahoe, a Vancouver-based gold miner, has risen 55 percent since its GMP-led IPO in June, while Tricon, a real estate lender, has slumped 16 percent since it went public in May.
The advisory rankings don't always boost a bank's stock because firms often rise and fall quickly, said Robert A. Floyd, lead money manager at R.A. Floyd Capital in Mississauga, Ontario.
"One year may be very robust, another year it may not," said Floyd, who owns GMP shares. "It's a good number, but because it's a volatile number it will not get the multiple that some might think."
RBC Ranked on Top
Royal Bank of Canada's RBC Capital Markets was the No. 1 arranger of stock sales during the past four years, and last missed top spot in 2005 when Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's CIBC World Markets ranked first. Kirby Gavelin, head of equity capital markets at RBC Capital, declined to comment.
This year, smaller firms such as GMP and Canaccord Financial Inc. are gaining. Toronto-based Canaccord, which bought Genuity Capital Markets in April, ranks sixth, ahead of bigger rivals Morgan Stanley and Scotia Capital.
"The non-bank firms have become more aggressive," Manji said. "We're definitely seeing them more in the marketplace."
Canada's bank-owned firms have struggled to take some companies public after stocks declined earlier this year, Manji said.
Can't Close Deals
Publisher Lulu Ltd. postponed its planned C$55 million IPO in April that was led by CIBC and Genuity. RBC Capital couldn't take airline Porter Aviation Holdings Inc. public in its proposed C$120-million IPO in June. Canada has had at least nine IPOs postponed or withdrawn since January.
"The banks have lots in the pipeline, but they just haven't been able to execute and close deals," Manji said. "They want to make sure they're not on the wrong side of a failed deal."
Companies sold $17.8 billion worth of equity in Canada this year, down 12 percent from the same period a year ago, according to Bloomberg data. The amount raised through IPOs was $4.56 billion, the most since 2006.
"It's great news that we're on that rebound," Manji said. "We'd like to see more of those C$200 million to C$300 million-sized deals, which would really tell us that we've got a lot of activity."

Vibrant and great value!
By Webby
from Romulus, MI
I have a decent collection of these and use them daily. They last well and a great marker! A good call for those unable to obtain Copic markers.

*Love* these markers.
By Cardmaker
from Oceanside, CA
I adore these markers. The brush tip has a really nice point and allows me to fill in areas with little or no streaking. The colors are great, but be forewarned they do not necessarily correspond accurately with the name of the color or the color swatches. For example "Neon Blue" is the best match if you're looking for turquoise. They work great with a permanent marker, as the permanent marker will not bleed or contaminate the Prismacolor markers. I also like the clear blender, it can create a nice watercolor effect when used on a solid background.
Great Service
By DBrow
from Chicago, IL
I usually work in acrylics but branched out to markers and other medias. The markers are great. Unfortunately they don't last long and I end up throwing them out. I wish there were refillable ones.
Exactly what I was looking for!
By Tethered Heather
from Southern Illinois
SOOOO much cheaper then at my local art supply store! Love the quality and the carrying case!
The BEST markers
By I color
from New York, NY
Very high quality, long lasting, brush tip will last a long time before wearing down. Typically I've run out the ink in the pens before the brush tip loses shape. Colors are rich and true. Ink really does last a long time. I purchased set of 400 online and two of the pens were dry. Went to store with proof of online purchase and Blick replaced without question. Excellent customer service.
Great Markers
By Makayla
from Bear, DE
I use the markers to draw and color in mandalas. They're great for creating fine lines and getting color into very small places however if you are looking to cover large areas of space. If you are looking for a marker to do both, the fine and the thick spaces I reccomend the same brand but the chisel ended markers.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pretty good value
By Pris
from New York
I do a lot of coloring and sketching so I decided to give these a try as I love the pencils. I was not disappointed. The colors are nice and I love the brush tip. They are just as good to me as the copics and a good value. I will be using again and again.
Always Quality
By Hybrida Designs
from Riverside, CA
You will rarely find these as cheap anywhere else. I love these markers! They're great on every paper and fun on rag vellum. Great color fastness and true color--but wish they were refillable.
Prismacolor Markers
By Janet
from Helena, MT
I had hoped the markers had a "chisel" tip on one end, but they all have pointed tips. I plan to use them for value studies while plein air painting as well as painting from photos or indoor subjects. I am pleased with the range of the gray-to-black scale and also happy with Blick's good pricing and quick delivery.

|The length became so that the hips hid. I was able to wear it without being too big while having some space toward width of the body. Because I am available from the standard collar which it is easy to mix-and-match to an accent color a lot, I seem to be able to dress it well as an inner for various coordinates.
|The length became about the same as a model. It was the feeling that the size was just right for. A race and the ribbon of the neckline make the wearing clothes one over another of the coming season look pretty gorgeously. I am glad in a stylish item usable throughout the year.
|The length became so as to hang to the hips. Because the ribbon tape which stuck around an armhole did not have elasticity, some armholes felt it tightly, but because it was elastic, I just fitted cloth, but was able to wear it. If there is already that one size is big because a race part is wonderful, I am glad.
I recommend that I have you compare size with a your other item by all means.

The part touching the shoulder is decoration of a delicate tender lace. Charmed decollete clearly cutely, and was particular about a neck; is designed. I am glad of what it is easy to put together on any clothes in the comfort that I did suddenly. It is an item to be able to use without asking it in a season not to be troubled even if there are several pieces. It is lady's plain race tank top.

HERNANDO — More information has emerged following Friday's car crash into two Hernando businesses that was reported in Tuesday's Chronicle.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, Vincent Carrara, 92, and his wife, Mary Carrara, 91, of Beverly Hills, were involved in a car crash at 4:55 p.m. Friday, in the parking lot of the Shoppes at Citrus Hills Plaza in Hernando.
As the driver, Mr. Carrara was in a parking space facing Gus's Gold & Gems jewelry store when his foot apparently slipped off the brake pedal and onto the accelerator pedal, causing the vehicle to travel over a concrete parking lot stop, over a raised median and onto the sidewalk in front of the jewelry store.
Carrara's vehicle continued traveling through the jewelry store's front window and then through the wall adjoining Citrus Hills Nail Salon, striking several people inside the salon.
Two of the injured people were transported via Citrus EMS to Citrus Memorial Health System and a third to Seven Rivers Regional Medical Center. Salon owner Thi U Do was sent via Bayflight to a hospital in Ocala.
A salon employee who was working Friday at the time of the crash reported seeing an elderly man driving a white Buick sedan traveling in between two cement pillars in front of the stores and then between two pillars inside the nail salon, then hitting the salon's reception desk, pushing it and three other desks into a raised island in the center of the store where the car finally stopped.
Neither Carrara nor his wife were injured.
Carrara was cited with operating a motor vehicle in careless or negligent manner.
Chronicle reporter Nancy Kennedy can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 352-564-2927.

I'm trying to make a drop drown during user registration for "Security Question".
Should the
SecurityQuestion property on my ViewModel be a string (to hold only the selected question) or an
IEnumerable<string> to hold the entire list of question? In the later case, how will the model POSTed know which was selected?
Depending on which is the better approach what will be the code to display the html drop down list and pre-select the top most item (this is a required field so a "blank" should not be selectable)?
Also, I'll be submitting this form using ajax. In the former case, I can use
option:selected selector to append the selected question to the
string SecurityQuestion property on my model. But I'm not understanding how it would work in the latter case (with an
IEnumerable<string> as the property on the model)

Blue Sugah Scrub
This scrub is named Blue Sugah because along with the brown sugar it also has blue corn meal in the mix. And it was a kinda fun play on that old Rolling Stones tune Brown Sugar. Blue Sugah is a gentle exfolient, and I love how soft my skin feels after I use it. It has a mix of brown sugars, blue corn meal, grapeseed oil, vitamin e, and spearmint essential oil. I call it a foot scrub which it is good for, but I use it also as an all over body scrub. As with the Aloha Salt Scrub, do be careful if you use this scrub in the tub or shower as it can be slippery when getting out.
Blue Sugah, also comes in the same wide mouth canning jar that the Aloha Scrub comes in and to see the sizing go to the Aloha page . The cost is also $15.00 plus the postal shipping fee. Please do contact me at email@example.com if you want to order this or any of my other product line.

Filmed in beautiful & vibrant color (probably one of the first color films from Japan), the cinematography in "Gate of Hell" is exquisite. The story is by no means dated, though it does become somewhat predictable. Still, it is both compelling and engaging and the acting is superb, especially Machiko Kyô. Memorable scenes in the film include the confusion at the royal palace, Laky Kesa hiding from traitorous soldiers, Moritoh meeting Lady Kesa and her aunt after the revolt, Moritoh given the choice of his heart's desire, the horse races, Moritoh at the home of Lady Kesa's aunt, and the ending scenes. The makeup used on Moritoh could have been better.Read more ›
Obviously, I prefer the masterpieces of Kurosawa or Kobayashi or Mizoguchi. This is a very good film rather than a great one. Nevertheless...this movie grows on you. Other reviewers discuss the basic plot: Moritoh, a warrior who quashes a revolt, is to be rewarded for his bravery by the emperor's regent. He is asked to choose any gift from the emperor. During the revolt, he encounters the beautiful Lady Kesa, who is kind to him. Like a fool, he demands that he be given Lady Kesa as a wife, even though she is already married to a lord of higher class. Everyone asks him to desist.. but pride, madness, and desire prevent him from doing so. He vows to destroy anyone who stands in his path and goes so far as to kidnap his prize. On the other side of the wall, rather than defend his wife from such outrageous conduct, Lady Kesa's intellectual husband takes no violent action to protect her.
The scenes are enhanced by the exaggerated dramatic, strong movements of Moritoh against the delicate movements of Kesa. Notwithstanding, she is just as strong a character as he is. I give this movie 5 stars because I felt this was Machiko Kyo's best performance. Every gesture of hers can be studied for meaning.
The ending of the film grabs me so much because it is pregnant with so much significance. Don't rush to judgment - think about it. There are secrets to the ending.
Postcript: The Blu-Ray quality is marvelous - don't even think about seeing the movie in any other format. I also love the glorious poster artwork on the cover of this Criterion Edition.
If anything Hasegawa's performance as the samurai Moritoh is anything but flaccid. Indeed his style is rather overripe for many Western viewers but I believe the director Teinosuke Kinugasa wanted to contrast his behavior with that of the sad-faced Lord Wataru, wonderfully underplayed by Isao Yamagata (I am not inverting Japanese names in this review). Moritoh is all snarling fury and barely suppressed rage while Wataru is all reasonableness and dignity. The object of their devotion, Lady Kesa, is stunningly played by Machiko Kyo who gives perhaps her greatest performance or at least one of her greatest. Having seen this film something like eight times, I find that I am ever more riveted by the subtlety of her every gesture and expression. Indeed I watched this film a couple of days ago and I discovered an ambiguity in her reaction to the blandishments of Moritoh that I had never caught before. Multiple viewings of this film will similarly reward you.Read more ›

Mystery Play of Elche
mystery play of Elche is a sacred musical drama of the death,
assumption and crowning of the Virgin. It has been performed since
the 15th century in the Basilica of Saint Mary of Elche with
special permission from the Pope. The play is living testimony to
European religious theatre from the Middle Ages; as well as the
medieval culture of devotion to the Virgin which was influenced by
Byzantine rites. The mystery play, which is entirely sung, is
presented in two acts played on 14 and 15 August. The text,
conserved in collections dating from 1625, is written in the
Valencian language, with several parts in Latin.
Medieval songs alternate with songs from the Renaissance
and Baroque periods. The stage is organized horizontally for the
earth and vertically for heaven, a characteristic of medieval
mysteries. The play, reflecting the cultural and linguistic
identity of the people of Valencia, involves about 300 volunteers
each year and attracts the entire population.
It is difficult to find the materials and know-how to maintain the
scenery and stage devices and preserve the Valencian language
which has been largely replaced by Castillan.
plan: The
mystery was proclaimed a National Monument by the Second Spanish
Republic in 1931, protecting it by law. Now training institutions
are envisaged for actors and singers. Since 1990, the City Council
and the Ministry of Culture of Valencia have organized an
international festival of medieval
theatre and music, which includes a research seminar. A museum of
mystery plays is envisaged, along with an internet site. Plans are
to restore the basilica and stage devices.

Lindsey Emery, a freelance editor in Portland, Ore., asked about her bumpy skin. We passed her question on to Julie Harper, MD, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Paul M. Friedman, MD, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Texas, Houston, and author of Beautiful Skin Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Better Skin.
Q: I've noticed small red bumps on my face, jawline, and neck. Could it be rosacea? Or is it acne?
Harper's top picks:
A: Rosacea is most common on the central portion of the face and less common on the neck and jawline. Early on, redness from rosacea may be transient, occurring only after an exposure to a trigger, like spicy foods or red wine, but later becomes persistent. Acne, on the other hand, develops on the jawline and neck as a result of hormonal fluctuations and shows up as both blackheads and whiteheads. If you have one or both conditions, it's important to have an effective but gentle routine.
In the morning, wash your face with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser ($11.40), which is infused with ceramides, natural (not synthetic) oils that hydrate.
Next, apply a treatment cream such as La Roche-Posay Rosaliac Skin Perfecting Anti-Redness Moisturizer ($34). Pumped with soothing xanthine and vitamin B3, this green cream calms irritation and prevents flare-ups.
Apply a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. I like Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer SPF 15 ($11.99), a 100% oil-, fragrance-, and paraben-free sunscreen that won't clog pores.
At bedtime, cleanse and moisturize again. Try Avène Diroséal Anti-Redness Skincare Lotion ($46), which neutralizes rosy patches while you snooze.
Friedman's top picks:
A: While acne is associated with teens, it persists in many people well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. Rosacea, however, tends to plague mostly adults, and women more than men. One type of rosacea in particular (papulopustular) might be confused with acne. Both show up as pinkish-red, raised blemishes and pus-filled bumps on the face. But, if you have whiteheads and blackheads, it's acne.

Welcome to the official website of the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines Association – the "Magnificent Bastards."
Within these pages, you'll get to know the warriors, past and present, of the finest infantry battalion of the United States Marine Corps, and the courageous chaplains and corpsmen of the United States Navy who care, or have cared, for them.
We hope you'll enjoy looking through the site, getting to know us and seeing what we're all about. We've been going strong since 1988 and getting stronger every year. Our membership includes Marines from all corners of the United States having served from private to commandant, all of whom share the pride and privilege of having earned the title "United States Marine," "Chaplain" and those few who earned another title, equally honored and deeply esteemed by Marines, the simple, three-letter title of "Doc."
Once you've navigated your way around the site, please feel free to make suggestions and let us know what you think. Those of you who have been either assigned or attached to the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines of all eras, please consider taking membership and letting your friends know about us.
First, we finally have PayPal up and running to allow members to pay dues and make donations online as an added convenience. Members may still submit their membership applications and pay via snail mail, but we recognize the need to become a bit more modern for the newer members coming aboard.
Second, the information for this year's reunion is now on the web site to include a registration form. The reunion this year will be held in a tribal resort casino and hotel. I understand from Vice President Sean Schickel that the Ramadi era Marines are jazzed about this particular aspect. I know some of our older members are concerned about the smoking in the casino. Colleen and I were just in "Lost Wages" for a Scottish Games and stayed in a large 2500 room casino hotel. We personally dislike smoking, but could not really detect the smoke in most areas. Casinos are doing a great job of circulating and filtering the air in their establishments, so I think those of you who might be wavering due to this particular issue can be reassured that the reunion will be much more pleasant than initially anticipated. Please go to our REUNIONS link and get the scoop on this year's reunion. Please note that initially the registration form was incorrectly labeled as the 2010 reunion in Pleasanton, CA. This has been fixed and hopefully we will see you at the correct location. Host Donald Greengrass has worked things out whereby all breakfasts, the banquet and tour transportation will be generously paid for by the Ho-Chunk Nation. This makes our event very affordable and I hope that will encourage you to attend. I also understand that "the Dells" is a beautiful area and a great water park adventure.
Third, I have a great concern about the future of our wonderful organization. Immediate Past President Steve Wilson was recently tasked to establish a Nominating Committee to find people to run for the offices of Treasurer and one Director. We stagger the election of officers to provide a bit of continuity to our Board of Directors. Steve tried very hard to come up with three persons to form this committee, but had no success. Luckily, the two incumbents agreed to run for another term. My concern is that, if no one participates in the process, our Association will ultimately wither and die. The people who are presently filling the various officer and staff billets have been the same ones doing it for years. At some point, new blood is necessary to continue the march. Marines, and our Navy brothers, have always been first to go in harm's way. The old saw, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine," applies to all of us. I would hope that you will remember this when asked to help out the 2/4 Association in the future.
On another, but related topic, I have had one or two comments made about this organization being run by "good old boys" and that things never change. We are good and we are certainly getting older, but we keep filling these billets because no one seems willing to step up and run for office. Those of you who have that opinion should re-read what I just wrote above. If no one volunteers to participate, then you must be willing to accept things the way they are. If not willing to accept things as they are, then I encourage you to reconsider your options and step up like a Marine should to lend a hand. If enough are unhappy with the present system, participate in the process and make your desired changes. This is no different than the national election cycle presently underway. My challenge to you is to make a difference by voting and volunteering, or hold your peace.
Lastly, in conjunction with the election of the two billets mentioned above, there will also be a vote on raising our dues. It takes money to run an organization. Most of our members are life members [approximately 85%], thus there is no annual income from these members. Annual non-active duty dues have been $20 since we were established. This is not enough for the necessary administrative requirements we incur each year. Our largest expense is a bit over $1,000 annually for awards to present to a number of well deserving Marines and corpsmen of the active Battalion. Yes, we presently have a large amount of money in our accounts, but most of this is earmarked for the memorial brick project whereby we are working to have a memorial brick for every Marine, corpsman and chaplain killed in the line of duty since the battalion's inception in 1911. General Weise says we still need over $100,000 to finish the project. So, our actual operating budget is very slim. Therefor, your Board is asking you to vote to raise all categories of non-active duty dues. Active duty dues will remain the same. Details are shown on the ballot.
The ballots will be mailed out shortly to include the two board positions and the dues increase. In the past, we have offered electronic voting as well as by snail mail, but we didn't get much response from the electronic side last year. This year, we will be doing the voting by snail mail only to see how that works out. This is, however, more expensive hence the proposed raise in dues. Please take a moment to vote and mail the ballots back. If response is low, it is of less benefit to the rest. Your participation is key to the success and future of the 2/4 Association.
My kind regards to you all and I look forward to seeing you in Wisconsin Dells 27-31 July.

How to guard against DDoS Attacks, Stressers and Booters
Unfortunately, in the dark world of DDoS attack much as you may not be the target of the attack, your device may be used as a botnet or zombie to launch an attack on the target website or business. As such, IP booter threats should not be thought of as a problem only business, organizations or institutions must deal with.
DDoS can be defined as intentional or purposeful disruption of an online service by overwhelming it with lots of data traffic. With so much traffic to deal with, the end result of such attacks is that the target website tends to slow down since it fails to handle the huge flow of data packet requests. Unfortunately, a slowdown in managing data packet requests means that a number of legitimate users to the target website are denied access.
How is the attack done? The first thing is the presence of a master computer, which can literally be anywhere in the world. With the master computer at hand, the next thing is to infect as many zombie or botnet computers as possible. Once the botnets or zombie computers are infected, it becomes easier for the master computer to issue the attack command. In essence, the botnet or zombie computers are what a stresser is really about.
Now that you know how the DDoS attacks can be made possible, even though you only use your computer for personal reasons, it is important to help reduce the number of such attacks over the internet. That being said, below you will find some of the ways in which you can safeguard your computer against becoming a botnet thereby contributing to these malicious attacks.
- In case you own a website then it is extremely important that you have a chat with your webmaster to help protect it from malicious traffic. Once the malicious traffic is curbed, a booter can be stopped in its tracks before it enters into your system. There are also instances when incoming traffic is rerouted to a third party provider in order to filter through it.
- Take special note of spam emails which entice you with exciting deals, discount offers or of packages that have been sent to you. In case you have no idea or little idea of the person who has sent you the email, it is best not to open any attachments that come with the given email.
- In case you are browsing through a website and come across a banner or ad that is not related to the content of the website you are visiting, it is best not to click on the ad or banner. This is because the ad or banner may be tainted with booter codes which are intended to enslave your system.
- Install reputable removal solutions as well as malware identifiers. In case you don't know which one to go with, read through tech reviews to have a better understanding of the malware identifier or removal solution you intend on installing.
Now that you know the distributed DoS and how the threat of an IP booter is real, it is important to take measures in order to safeguard yourselves against cyber crime.…

Wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle reduces the risk of head injury in the event of a crash. Here are two ways to acquire your own:
Buy Online:Click here to order a quality helmet through Hubway's homepage now. Or, when you sign up for a Hubway Annual or Monthly Membership, you'll have the option of adding a helmet to your purchase while registering. We'll mail it right to your front door!
Purchase from a Low-Cost Helmet vendor:The City of Boston and the Boston Public Health Commission provide inexpensive helmets at several locations: view our list of retail locations. Your local bike or sporting good shop is likely to sell helmets, too!
Safety Features
Hubway bikes are designed with many built-in safety mechanisms, including:
- Front and rear flashing LED lights that run automatically as you pedal;
- Wheel reflectors;
- Reflective sidewalls on both front and rear tires;
- Adjustable seat height;
- Step-thru frame for lower center of gravity; and
- Plastic casing around cables to prevent tampering.
Riding Tips
There's more to safety riding than a well-tuned bicycle. Make your trip more secure by following these tips:
Always wear a helmet.Helmets dramatically reduce the risk of head injury in a bicycle crash. You can purchase a quality helmet through the Hubway site or at any of these locations.
Obey all regulatory signsand traffic lights.
Never ride against traffic.Always ride with traffic to avoid potential incidents, and do not ride against one-way streets unless bike lanes are clearly marked.
Use hand signalsto communicate with other cyclists and motorists what you intend to do. Here's a tutorial on the three main signals you'll need to know.
Ride in a straight lineto the right of traffic and at least 4 feet away from parked car doors.
Watch for turning cars.Ride defensively at intersections and driveways. Intersections are where many incidents occur.
Be aware of pedestrians.Yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and in other pedestrian areas.
Be alert!Don't ride distracted, and do not wear headphones while riding. Pull over and stop your bike prior to using a cell phone.
Respect all other riders, drivers, & pedestrians.
More safety information is available at Boston Bikes.
Check Your Bike Before You Ride
Hubway maintains every bike to ensure they are in good condition and working properly. It's always a good idea to give the bike a look over before starting a ride. Check the following before you set off:
Seat HeightHubway bike seats are adjustable. Simply release the clamp on the side of the seat post (just below the seat), raise or lower the seat to your preferred height, and then re-tighten the clamp, making sure that the seat can't twist or sink. Typically a seat is at the right height when you can almost fully straighten your legs when you pedal.
AirPush each tire hard against a curb. If you can flatten it, it needs air.
Wheels & TiresLift each wheel up and give it a slow spin (spin the back wheel forward so the pedals don't move). Check that the wheel spins freely and doesn't rub against the brake pads or anything else. Look for cuts, bulges, or bubbles in the tires.
ShiftingTry all of your gears to make sure the chain shifts smoothly between gears.
BrakesCheck that both brakes are functional and feel strong.
Loose PartsPick up the bike and shake it. You shouldn't hear anything rattling.
If a bike isn't working properly, lock it back into any Hubway dock, press the wrench button on the dock to let a bike technician know, and then unlock a different bike.
Bicycle Education
Take a bike safety class today! We want to make your experience with Hubway as safe and enjoyable as possible. A number of free classes & workshops are offered throughout the Metro Area, where you can learn the tips and tricks of urban cycling from certified instructors.
Additional Bicycling Safety & Laws Resources
To be a safe cyclist, it's important to know and follow the law. Visit these resources for your rights as a cyclist in addition to regional rules of the road:
- Brookline Bicycling Safety
- Cambridge Cycling Rules of the Road
- Massachusetts Bike Law
- Massachusetts Cyclists' Rights & Responsibilities
- Somerville Bicyclists' Rules of the Road
- The MA Bicyclist's Bill of Rights
- Smart Cycling Videos from the League of American Cyclists
Severe Weather Policy

If weather threatens member safety, Hubway could close temporarily during which time no bikes would be rented. Bikes in use at the time of closure should be returned to any Hubway station and all usage fees still apply.
Closure and re-opening information will be posted to TheHubway.com, on Facebook, and on Hubway's Twitter page. Registered members will additionally be informed of closures and re-openings via email.

A quick skim of > <http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/6.2/doc/streams.htm> > didn't cause anything to leap to mind; since defining stream classes > goes through DEF-STREAM-CLASS, that can easily add a (:METACLASS > SIMPLE-STREAM-CLASS) option to the DEFCLASS that's produced. That is my hope, too. I am using simple streams for BLOBs here, so everything works out best when a BLOB-STREAM is a PERSISTENT-CLASS. Not sure how that interacts with optimized stream slot access, but it seems to work. However, I don't see why the ACL approch would not be suitable. Granted, it looks slightly ugly. But on the plus side it allows a simple implementation using S-I-A as Christophe suggested, doesn't it?

Hi all,
How do i remove date/time stamp for some posts but not others?
Thanks in advance,
Hi all,
How do i remove date/time stamp for some posts but not others?
Thanks in advance,
in similar situation (removing comments from one specific category), I have done like this in the post loop:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_time('j F Y') ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?>

<?php the_content(' More...'); ?>

<?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?>

if ( in_category(10) ) {
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/showcomments.php');
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
You could do something like this. Meaning that you save file (in your theme folder) called showdate.php or something where you put the date tag. And then you could put the if-else-condition above in the place where you have date tag now. My php skills are actually lousy but this is something which I found somewhere and works for me (possibly someone else has more elegant solution! :))

BLOOD, lots of blood, There is a ton of action scenes
and blood. IT also has a twist with 1 of the people
Knowing so much about vampires he should be one.
Or maybe he is one ? There is some nudity so it
is not for the little ones to see. The nudity is tastefull
and nedded for the scene. This is a great movie

Every Other Senator Abandons Mike Lee's Nominations Tantrum
Earlier this year, President Obama used his recess appointments power to thwart a Senate Republican effort to sabotage agencies they disapprove of by refusing to confirm anyone to lead them. Almost immediately after the president took action, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) threw a fit, promising to oppose every single one of President Obama's nominees in retaliation. Lee, however, never found even half a dozen fellow senators who were willing to join him in this tantrum, and he now is reduced to pitching his fit without any allies at all. Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Judge Brian Wimes to a federal court in Missouri. Lee was the only dissenting vote.

FIFA 12 iPad pictures and hands-on
FIFA 12 iPad will turn your tablet into a football console game capable of making any iPhone owner weep tears of joy. First demoed at E3, FIFA 12 for the iPad will let you use the Apple device as a screen, while using a Bluetooth-connected iPhone or iPod touch as a controller. And it can pair two at a time, to boot.
So, when we sat down with EA to have a preview of FIFA 12 on the iPad 2, that's exactly what happened. And it is, in a word, brilliant.
It's brilliant because there is a fair chance that if you own an iPad, you probably have an iPhone as well. You'll almost certainly have a friend with one too, so that means you're all set for two-player FIFA at the drop of a hat.
To play FIFA 12 with iPhone controllers you'll need a copy of the game on the iPad and then a controller app (which will be free in the App Store) for the iPhone(s) or iPod touch(es) you'll use as controllers.
We took it a stage further, connecting the iPad 2 up to a bigger display so we could sit in relative comfort and play away our precious briefing time.
It gave us plenty of time to admire the enhanced graphics of FIFA 12 (although we weren't allowed to take any photos) that have been configured to take advantage of the iPad 2 hardware. You won't get Xbox or PS3 quality out of it, but it's good enough on a bigger screen. And, on the iPad itself, it looks stunning.
But it didn't give us much time to admire the wholly new Manager Mode. We didn't spend long looking at the emails we were getting from the board, offering more cash because of our great performance, nor did we get to spend much time looking at the player stats or transfer list.
We didn't spend much time looking at the scouting system for up and coming players either, but all these juicy elements find their way into FIFA 12 on the iPad for the first time.
Of course, that means you really have two games here. You can play the matches and basically ignore the management, you can play the management and simulate the matches, or you can do both, which, let's be honest, most of you will.
Taking things a stage further, you'll also get a daily challenge mode. This is essentially a new challenge that arrives each day, designed to give you a quick 10 or 15 minute game, rather than diving into an important match in your season. The example we got was Arsenal being 2-0 down against Man United after 78 minutes and you have to basically come in and win the match.
You'll also get updates to the stats in the system, reflecting the changing state of the real football leagues on licence with FIFA 12. Although EA wouldn't be pinned down on the timing for these updates, or the frequency, it did say that if someone was having a particularly bad season (Torres, for example), this would get reflected in the game.
Finally, there is also a new control mechanism, which we did try out. Set pieces have a new sweeping control for the kick, a bit like Flick Football. This means you can attempt to curl the ball from the corner, or around a wall. It's a welcomed addition, but something we need a little more finger time with.
FIFA 12 for iPad will be available from the iTunes App Store 29 September. Check out our review then.

It doesn't harm them. It doesn't compel them to do anything. It doesn't compel them not to do anything. All they can possibly mean by "We will not stand by" is that "We will assume a posture of extreme indignation and offendedness while standing by." [Read more…]

Here is a sample of the reaction from former and current players.
Former All Blacks scrum-half Justin Marshall
"Under Deans, Australia has more often than not been the No. 2 rugby nation in the world, won the Tri-Nations as recently as 2011 and reached the last World Cup semis.
"This has been despite encountering a string of serious player injury setbacks in a country with limited depth and also while having to take on several very powerful players who often seemed to be working against him.
"If Robbie Deans is guilty of anything during his time in Australian rugby, it's of being a New Zealander and being prepared to make a stand."
Former Wallabies coach Alan Jones
"He has no communications skills at all Robbie, none. It's just been a very sad chapter."
South African Jake White, who was also a candidate to replace Deans, on Australia opting for a homegrown coach
"It's not a perception. It's a fact.
"You fired the cricket coach (South African Mickey Arthur), put an Aussie in (Darren Lehmann), fired the rugby coach and put an Aussie in.
"They've tried foreigners and I appreciate that. That doesn't mean that I have to agree or disagree with it. That's the nature of the game we're in."
Wallabies winger Israel Folau
"I've really enjoyed being coached by Robbie over the last five weeks. He's a great man. I wish him all the best."
Wallabies prop Benn Robinson
"The way Robbie held himself as a person is a definite credit to him. There's been pressure on Robbie for the last two or three years."
British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland
"I've got a huge amount of respect for what Robbie's achieved in rugby. It's tough to have a Kiwi involved coaching an Australian side."
Wallabies back-rower Dave Dennis
"It's been five years, Robbie's the longest-serving Wallabies coach for Australia after 74 Tests, so maybe it was getting a bit stale there and it's a bit of a fresh change.
"All the boys respect Robbie and what he's done and his effort, but there's probably a sense that it needed a bit of a change ... I would (prefer an Australian coach) to be honest.
"It's not everything but definitely at that level when you're playing against foreign countries it plays a part I think."
Former All Black Brad Thorn
"It's a ruthless game and Deansy knows that. Robbie's been involved for many years as a player and as a coach. He'll be disappointed but these things are part of life and you have to move on.
"Kiwis and Aussies are pretty similar in that they both like winning."

June 7, 2003 by Jeff Schroeder
TOWER, Minn. - Tournament by tournament, lake by lake, 28-year-old David Dudley just keeps establishing himself as one of the best, most consistent pro anglers on tour. The last time he won, at the 2002 Ranger M1, he used a chainsaw to cut his way into the richest-ever payout in competitive bass fishing, $700,000.
There were no chainsaws Saturday in the final round of EverStart Series Northern Division competition at Minnesota's Lake Vermilion, but a defibrillator might have come in handy after Dudley's heartstopping defeat of Mark Zona by 1 ounce to win the Pro Division.
"I was more nervous today than I was at the M1," said Dudley, a fishing guide from Manteo, N.C.
As well he should have been. For a moment during Saturday's tense weigh-in it appeared Dudley and Zona were going to tie. But as Dudley watched his fish on the scale, his weight bobbed up and down, finally settling on 14 pounds, 7 ounces - 1 ounce more than Zona's 14-6. Dudley won by the weight of a few drops of water and collected $10,000 plus a new Ranger boat in the process.
"That more than likely will make the ride home a little bit longer," said Zona, a native of Sturgis, Mich., who won $10,000 for second place. "It's 12 hours, but it's going to seem like two days."
Dudley said he battled a tougher day of fishing in the finals. While Lake Vermilion coughed up five-bass limits all week, including Saturday where all the pros caught limits, the quality smallmouth spawning bite that anglers feasted on the first two days dissipated. Dudley spent a lot of time moving around the lake searching for new fish. And he caught some.
"I had to expand on my area to get the win," he said. "But the key was looking for giant boulders."
Dudley focused his watermelon and green-pumpkin Zoom Super Fluke on smallmouth relating to the biggest boulders he could find along Vermilion's rocky bottom. The tactic garnered him about 30 fish total, but it was his biggest bass, a smallmouth around 4 pounds, that pushed him over the edge.
"Yesterday, I had a blessing in disguise. This big fish came and blew up on my Spook and I missed it," he said. "I went back and caught her today. If she would have taken the bait yesterday, I would have caught her then and I would have never won."
Zona's been there, done that
Zona also targeted smallmouths early with tube baits, but he switched over to Senkos and jigs on a largemouth pattern he'd been saving for the finals because his early limit "had three rats in there."
"I went to the back of a few bays looking for largemouth, and my hands just got shredded," he said. "I had one magic dock where I caught about 10 good fish."
Even so, Zona knew it was going to be tight at the finish. He has seen it happen before. At the 2002 EverStart Championship, Zona held a tie for the lead but ultimately finished in third place after Koby Kreiger weighed in last and almost a pound heavier.
"Well, I guess I'm used to it by now. I did everything I could. When they bit, I caught them," he said. "It was a great week. The top 10 was stacked with talent, and I knew you were going to have to throw a pretty good jab to get them."
Rest of the best
Finishing third in the Pro Division and collecting $9,000 was Art Ferguson III of St. Clair Shores, Mich., who weighed in 13 pounds, 9 ounces.
"The first couple of days, I fished for spawning fish," he said. "Then the last couple of days, I tried to get some release fish out (near Fortune Bay) and tried some other things. I had a great practice and it was a great week."
Fourth place went to day-three leader Kreiger, who weighed in 11 pounds, 4 ounces and collected $8,000.
"It just wasn't meant to be," said the pro from Okeechobee, Fla. "But David and I roomed together last night. I told him that if I didn't win it, I wanted him to."
Fifth place and $7,500 went to the only Minnesotan in the finals, Jim Moynagh of Carver. He caught 11 pounds, 3 ounces.
"I was glad to see Minnesota host one of these things," he said. "It wasn't such a long drive for me."
Rounding out the top 10 pro finishers are Jim Tutt of Longview, Texas, (sixth place, $6,500) with 10 pounds, 11 ounces; Kevin Vida of Clare, Mich., (seventh, $5,500) with 9-5; Ricky Doyle of Keeseville, N.Y., (eighth, $5,000) with 9-0; Dion Hibdon of Stover, Mo., (ninth, $4,500) with 7-13; and Tony Defilippo of Lake Ann, Mich., (10th, $4,000) with 7-10.
The winning attitude
Dudley, who credited his friend Kreiger for much of his success over the past two seasons, said he isn't finished winning yet.
"I've accomplished two of my five goals," he said, referring to his EverStart and Ranger M1 victories. "I also want to win an FLW tournament, the FLW Championship and FLW Angler of the Year (Dudley is currently second in FLW points with one tournament to go).
"If I was to tell you I've had a great year, I'd be lying to you. If I was the best and won every tournament throughout the year, I could say I was having a great year. All I can tell you is that I'm fishing well and putting myself into a position to win. I'm not satisfied yet. That's all I'm saying."
And that's why he's called the Manteo Machine.
Almost to a one, every angler loved the Lake Vermilion bass fishery. The waterway likely set tournament records for number of limits caught (they're being verified), and tales of hundred-bass days were not uncommon throughout the week.
Hibdon, who's no stranger to bass fishing anywhere, had this to say about Vermilion: "I probably had one of the better bass-fishing days I've ever spent on the water that first day. I caught well over a hundred fish. I've been fortunate enough to come to Minnesota a few times over the years, and these people really know how to take care of their fish. It's just phenomenal. I think there's a fish on every rock. And I think a lot of states could learn a few lessons from Minnesota because it thrives on keeping its fisheries in good shape."
Coming up
The next EverStart Series tournament is an Eastern Division contest at Guntersville Lake in Guntersville, Ala., June 11-14. The next Northern Division tournament will be held at the Detroit River in Trenton, Mich., July 23-26.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The vice president of National Religious Broadcasters says congressional legislation protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Americans from job discrimination would have a "chilling effect on religious organizations."
Craig Parshall told a Senate committee that religious exemptions in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act are inadequate.
Democrats on the committee responded that similar state laws have been implemented with no significant problems. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said workplace discrimination against LGBT Americans "is morally wrong and we must end it."
But Parshall testified that the federal legislation would impose an "unconstitutional burden" on religious organizations and would "interfere with their ability to effectively pursue their missions."
Companion legislation in the U.S. House has been referred to committee, but no further action has been taken.

With debt now at over $60mil, Mkt Cap at $130 (excluding convert), and another $10mil to $15 mil likely costs to get to ground breaking, assuming best case, plus $250mil or so build cost, CDZI looking to have, best case, about a $450 mil EV at completion. $1,000 acre/ft, 50K acre/ft, puts current valuation at 9x EV / REV -- just for reference, a well run, profitable water utility like AWK trades at 4x current EV / REV
Two key issues to consider; total real cost and time.
The Cadiz gang want to build a small power station ( about 8,000 kW to 9,000 kW for the 50,000 ACY version ). Problem is - they will have to apply for an emissions permit, which will take at least 18 months to get - but then they will have to deal with the various objectors like the Sierra Club etc. Then, the NOx and CO emissions that they claim in their EIR are way too low for a 8,000 kW power station.
The other option is to buy the power from SCE - but there are no power lines for that kind of load to the project. That will cost at least $ 50 million - AND - then SCE will have to get whatever permits to run the power lines, which will take at least 3 years.
Bottom line; this project will not have any water flowing for a minimum of 3 years from now. Given their current cash burn rate of $ 15 million per year, Brackpool will need to find another $ 45 million, which then needs to be added to the current $ 60 million, which will then mean that the project revenues will have to cover the accumulated development costs of $ 105 million plus - AND - most likely total construction costs of $ 500 million for the SCE power lines plus the treatment of chromium 6 to meet MWD requirements.

Is there a 'correct' way to do this? My current solution is to define products as a nested resource inside users, and then to check for params[:user_id] - if its found I render a template called 'index_from_user', otherwise I just render the typical 'index' template.
This is a situation I'm running into a lot - if there's a preferred way to do it I'd love to know...
