The main chapters are a stroll along the tram lines, an evening exploration of the Bairro Alto, and a visit late in the day to the Belém Berardo Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art followed by a night walk along the coast past the Belém Tower.

A dog and his owners are safe now following a Sunday morning fire in Lilburn.
Firefighters responded to the 700 block Inland Way at approximately 8:18 a.m. When they arrived, heavy black smoke and flames were showing through the roof of a two-story home.
Two adults were home asleep at the time of the fire, and a working smoke alarm alerted them to the fire. Officials said they escaped unharmed and were safely outside when the fire department arrived.
After making entry into the home, firefighters conducted a search and were able to successfully rescue a dog from inside the burning home.
Intense heat and a partially collapsed roof forced fire crews to back out moments later. Firefighters then flowed water from multiple hoses and an aerial ladder pipe to help control the blaze.
However, the home and contents are a total loss.
At this time, the fire "appears accidental and may have started in the area of the front porch and quickly spread to the attic," fire officials said in a press release.
"The occupants and their pet are safe because of the presence of a working smoke alarm," Gwinnett Fire Captain Tommy Rutledge said in a press release. "Every home should be equipped with working smoke alarms on every level and in each of the bedrooms."
There were no injuries reported in the fire, and the Red Cross was contacted to provide assistance to the family.
For additional information on smoke alarms and home fire safety, contact the Gwinnett Fire Community Risk Reduction Division at 678.518.4845 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The federal government has promised Central Valley agribusinesses that it will increase the amount of taxpayer-subsidized irrigation water by 44 percent over the next 25 years, well beyond what the state's infrastructure can reliably supply, according to Bureau of Reclamation documents obtained by EWG.
The Bush administration is paying some of the biggest and richest agribusinesses in America $17 million for cutbacks in their taxpayer-subsidized water supply. But an EWG investigation found that these same California agribusinesses — including the world's biggest cotton producer and the largest farm in America — already get hundreds of millions of tax dollars from other federal farm subsidy programs.
A new investigation by the Environmental Working Group and the National Black Farmers Association reveals that the U.S. Department of Agriculture withheld nearly three out of every four dollars in a $2.3 billion landmark civil rights settlement with black farmers.
The first ever nationwide assessment of chlorination byproducts in drinking water, released by the Environmental Working Group and U.S. Public Interest Research Group, shows that more than one hundred thousand women are at elevated risk of miscarriage or of having children with birth defects because of chlorination byproducts (CBPs) in municipal tap water.
Atrazine, the most heavily used herbicide in the United States, is a cancer-causing weed killer applied to 50 million acres of corn each year. After it is applied each spring, it runs off cornfields and through drinking water plants into the tap water of millions of Midwestern homes.
An Environmental Working Group review of nearly 200,000 water sampling records found that over two million people -- including approximately 15,000 infants under the age of four months -- drank water from 2,016 water systems that were reported to EPA for violating the nitrate standard at least once between 1986 and 1995.

The Carson City Sheriff's Office say arrests have been made in connection with the recent disappearance of a state employee.
Sheriff Ken Furlong tells Channel 2 News that a body was found wrapped up around 8 a.m. Saturday in the water of the Carson River, south of Carson River Road. However, the body has not been confirmed as 62-year-old William McCune at this time. Sheriff Furlong says an autopsy with the Washoe County Medical Examiner's Office is pending.
McCune is the chief insurance examiner for the state of Nevada. He was reported missing on Thursday after he did not show up for work and missed a work-related flight. Deputies responded to an apartment in the 700 block of Silver Oak Drive just after 8:30 a.m. Thursday, and discovered signs of an obvious struggle.
Sheriff Furlong says after an investigation, detectives arrested 23-year old Michael Evans in Carson City in connection with McCune's disappearance. He is charged with murder, murder of an older person, battery with a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm and burglary.
Investigators also went to Las Vegas, where three other suspects related to McCune's disappearance were arrested, 20-year old Makyla Blackmore is charged with murder and burglary, 22-year old Raul Garcia is also charged with murder and burglary, and 20-year old Anthony Elliott is charged with murder. Sheriff Furlong says all three were arrested on warrants issued out of Carson City courts. They are expected to be returned to Carson City within a week.
Detectives are still searching for McCune's 2000 maroon Dodge pickup truck. However, they found the truck's license plates in Evans' home.
Sheriff Furlong says at least one of the suspects has had direct contact with McCune in the past. Detectives believe illegal drugs could be involved, and a possible motive behind the incident.
Sheriff Furlong says forensic specialists with the Carson City Sheriff's Office will continue to process McCune's home for evidence. The collections process is expected to be completed early next week.
Although, four suspects have been arrested, Sheriff Furlong says the investigation remains open as detectives continue to work with the Carson City District Attorney's Office.
If you have any information about the investigation, you're urged to contact the Carson City Sheriff's Office at (775) 887-2500.

Jewel to Receive ISPA's Humanitarian Award
The International SPA Association (ISPA) recently announced that singer/songwriter Jewel will be the recipient of the 2014 ISPA Alex Szekely Humanitarian Award. This award will be presented at the 24th annual ISPA Conference & Expo to be held at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. from Oct. 13-15, 2014.
"ISPA is thrilled to recognize Jewel for her philanthropy work," said ISPA President Lynne McNees. "Jewel has such a passion for giving and music, we are excited to hear her inspirational stories and songs as our keynote speaker this year."
The award is named in honor of the late spa pioneer, Alex Szekely. It is designed to recognize an individual who acts as a respected contributor to overall well-being, encouraging the renewal of mind, body and spirit - all of which are characteristics embodied by ISPA members worldwide.
"I feel an affinity for Jewel and her upbringing in the Alaskan wilderness, where she was the granddaughter of homesteaders and her parents lived far from town with no running water and no heat. I experienced a similar childhood in Tahiti," said Deborah Szekely, mother of Alex Szekely. "I believe in resilience, for it gives you the strength to give back. Jewel is an enormous talent, and her songs and actions run deep with the compassion she has for others."
Jewel was chosen by the ISPA Board of Directors based on her extensive work for her charity Project Clean Water, which raises funds and awareness for global access to clean water. Project Clean Water was inspired by Jewel's personal experience with homelessness as a teenager.
Past Humanitarian Award recipients include Blake Mycoskie, founder and chief shoe giver of TOMS, journalist Lisa Ling and Dr. Maya Angelou.

Stemulation Announces Park Hyatt Partnership
Luxury skincare brand Stemulation just announced that it will feature at the Nalai Spa at the new Park Hyatt New York, which is slated to open in mid-August.
The company reports that the brand was chosen from hundreds of skincare lines. "We are so excited to be a part of this amazing spa opening," says Laurie Nicoll, Stemulation founder and CEO. "Stemulation delivers the clinical results the Park Hyatt's discerning clients will demand. With our proprietary combination of peptides and growth factors that nurture and balance the health of the skin tissue, the results are immediate and dramatic."
"Nalai Spa is very excited about the opportunity of working with such an exciting and integrative product line," adds spa development consultant Krista Carucci. "The partnership with Stemulation is a perfect and natural fit for the skin care options we will be offering all of the future Park Hyatt guests. The fact that we are able to utilize a line that has such flexibility, results, skin health (and did I mention results!) is refreshing."
The new Park Hyatt is located in the heart of Midtown, across from Carnegie Hall and a short stroll from Central Park. The hotel, designed by world-renowned, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, features 210 guest rooms. Nalai Spa is situated on the hotel's 25th floor, with views of Central Park and the New York skyline. Nalai is based on an "Atelier Spa" concept, which aims to "customize the treatment experience through advanced communication and tailored product creation." Six all-inclusive treatment suites can accommodate every service opportunity on the menu.
"Nalai's size lends itself perfectly to this type of Atelier experience, as it is not so big that the treatment experience runs the risk of becoming diluted," says Carucci. "Nalai will dedicate its mission to ensuring that every guest has a comprehensive history and building of experience every time they come back to our location. Our Treatment Artisans and Spa Curators will work holistically to ensure that every detail of the guest experience is harmoniously blended to ensure a precision fit for each guest, each time they arrive."

Previse Skincare Raises Funds for Education
Held at the MUSE School in Malibu Canyon, California, the Under The Stars event was held to support the institute's Financial Aid Program and Specialty Programs: Seed to Table, MUSE Maker Space, Art, Music, Falconry, and more. Sponsor company Previse Skincare was in attendance to support the academy and sell its SkinRescue Kit—97 cents from each dollar made went directly to the school.
"With over 60% of the student body at MUSE on financial aid, it is hugely important that we have companies like Previse Skincare who understand the importance of getting involved and lending a hand to this and the future generations of children", said Suzy Amis-Cameron, chairman and founder of the school. The non-profit, educational organization inspires and prepares young people to live consciously with themselves, one another and the planet.

Working group seeks feedback on leadership
What does it take to be an effective leader at Queen's? What is your perception of leadership? The Leadership Initiative Working Group is hoping to get a sense of what members of the Queen's community think about leadership, and use that feedback to spearhead a leadership development initiative featuring a blend of approaches such as training workshops, consultations, and other resources.
"There is a growing need to develop leadership competencies across the board, because leadership impacts on performance," says Penina Lam, an Educational Developer at the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL). "Our research tells us that leadership training opportunities exist for people already in managerial or senior-level positions, but tend to be limited for emerging leaders. In a broad sense, leadership can be developed regardless of one's position."
In recent years, the Centre for Teaching Learning (CTL) has undergone a strategic planning process and conducted a needs assessment where members of the community were asked to provide feedback regarding where the Centre should focus its initiatives. The results led to the identification of four key areas: good practice, community, scholarship, and leadership. Since then, a number of workshops and resources have been devoted to the first three areas, and the CTL now intends to further develop the leadership initiative.
The recently-formed Leadership Initiative Working Group includes representatives from a variety of departments and faculties. Members of the working group will analyze the feedback and create leadership programming based on the community's wants and needs.
"Our experience tells us that the ideal way of developing any program is to involve your stakeholders in designing a program that is meaningful to them," says Dr. Lam.
The short survey, available here, is open to all faculty, graduate students, librarians, post-doctoral fellows, researchers and staff currently enrolled in or working at Queen's; it will be available until May 7, 2011.
For more information on the CTL's resources and services, visit the website.

(WMC-TV) - The student at the center of a basketball scandal at Ridgeway High School is speaking out about the team's disqualification due to his ineligibility to play.
Last week, the Ridgeway boys' basketball team was disqualified from the state tournament after officials say a student provided false documents to the school, including a false transcript.
McKinzey Sewell showed Action News 5 a tattoo with his own birth date on it. It read March 4, 1994. A copy of his birth certificate shows the same date.
Sewell says he is only 18 years old, and though he takes responsibility for what happened, he also says it is not all his fault.
He claims he married the mother of another basketball player in November. Sewell says she got him into Ridgeway High School, even though he was not supposed to after getting his GED in Louisiana.
Sewell says things took a turn for the worse with his wife when he became involved with a 19-year-old at the school.
"She told me that she didn't want me going to Ridgeway because of the girls there. The only way she would let me back there was like I signed the wedding papers," he said. "I really wanted to be there because I felt like I had a second chance at doing something that I loved to do."
His aunt blames Sewell's wife for forging the paperwork. She also blames Ridgeway High School for not double checking that paperwork.
"First and foremost I want people to know that McKinzey Sewell is 18 years old. He's not 22. He's not 23. He was manipulated by a person older than him. He's 18. His girlfriend is 34 years old," said McKini Spain, Sewell's aunt.
Sewell apologized to his teammates for all that's transpired.

Cloud vs. Hopkins-Preview (Who Wins? Vote in The Poll!), Can We Expect The Unexpected?

Another Title Fight for Bernard Hopkins, this time it's Hopkins vs. Cloud for Cloud's IBF Light-Heavyweight Title. Most of us remember Cloud as getting the shit beaten out of him by Gabriel Campillo on a Don King show, only for King's fighter to get a terrible decision win. Cloud still owes Campillo a rematch, but that's beside the point.
I am not impressed with Cloud, he has power, but can be hit, and Bernard will rough him up and make him work, but King's fighter will get the close rounds, and maybe some rounds that aren't close anyway in a lot of mauling grabbing, ugly shit from Hopkins, who has resorted to dirty fighting and fouling more and more to extend his legacy. Bernard will probably lose around 115-113, 117-110 and 116-112 unanimously, call everybody racist, and storm of like a spoiled child to his dressing room like a kid who just got told he can't have the last piece of cake before supper. This fight will be boring and ugly, at least on paper.
Also,, bashing King's fighters historically does not give a fighter justice on the scorecards. However, I have a feeling that the decision will be fair. Hopkins just not doing enough, and the need by fighting ugly in spots to make it competitive.
Or, does Executioner pull a rabbit out of his ass one last time and give us a Pascal II type performance? The fight on which Bernard should have retired and could have gone out highly respected and praised. When Bernard wins, he can be good guy.
Boring fight? Average to OK fight? Or something more? Can Bernard create excitment again?

very good points and i agree on most. i think cloud is the younger stronger bully. if he can beat bhop to the punch (with the bullying) or answer bhops bullying with stronger more forceful bullying...it's going to be over for bhop.
I can picture all of the above happening...he just cant allow Hopkins too much time to think.
The only thing that saddens me is that there is nothing in for Cloud. I don't particularly like him but there realy is nothing for him if he wins the fight. BHop is old. He is competitive, a legend but old and doesn't bear anything else than a name...again...old name. Tavoris is expected to beat him. If he doesn't his career is at stake, if he does beat Bhop, he beat an old man. I really don't see why he agreed to fight him.
The fight itself will look like the Bhop/Pascal I as many people here have already predicted. Young lion will try to chase and muscle out the old king of the jungle who himself still has some tricks up his sleeve. But I don't know.....I like Bhop and I will be rooting for him (We can't forget about this man rewriting history) hoping the fight will be watchable without any Hopkins/Jones II bullshit. Either way, Hopkins will make it competitive enough to make the public and more importantly himself believe he still can fight. He will not retire unless KO a la Pacman occurs.
Im not sure about some of this post, but most of it, I agree with. There isn't too much going on a light HW, but the buzz can begin Saturday night. Hopkins is on his way out, but of he keeps beating these young bucks, then that makes them look unworthy...Hopkins has to go for good this time, in order for the division to grow.
Cloud CAN make a name for himself, IF he stops Bernard tomorrow...IF. Nobody's ever stopped Hopkins before, and he hasn't looked all that shitty in his losses, so a KO on Cloud's behalf, it enough to make things interesting.
If Cloud decisions Hopkins (which I dont see happening), then that wont bring interest. If he stops him, then there's still Pascal, Dawson, and possibly Ward sooner or later. Hell, Froch and Bute may move up soon, who knows. Im pumped for this one!

According to Facebook and a sign on a door, landmark Tyler restaurant Gilbert's El Charro has closed its doors.
Both locations of the establishment are now closed.
Initially, El Charro had a sign on the door that said the restaurant was closed for repairs and remodeling. However, a post today on Facebook said, "After
69.5 years and 3 days El Charro is officially closed. Thanks to all of
East Texas for dining with us throughout the years."
A call to Gus Ramirez, whose family has owned the restaurant for decades, did not shed any light on why the doors have closed after all these years.

Noirot, a Black Beauty with a Rumbling Purr
My name is Noirot and I am a purr machine. Nothing makes me happier than a long petting session and a good, loud rumble in my throat. When I see my foster person, I give her a cute meow or two and then, even before she moves in to pet me, I start to purr up a storm. I can sit forever when I am being stroked and groomed. My medium-length fur is now glossy and sleek from all that care—and wait until you see my amazing, bushy tail. I will even let you touch my paws. Yes, you heard that right, touch my paws! For those of you who know cats well, you know that a cat who lets you do that must be a very gentle, sweet feline. Need I say more? I am purrfect!
With the days getting colder and darker, I must admit I am happy to be inside and no longer on my own. I was hanging out in the yard of a PAWS volunteer who started giving me food and then took me in. As a former stray, I am a bit on the reserved side when I first meet someone. But with the proper introduction and patience, I warm up very quickly. If you adopt me, I will be following you around in no time, hoping you will play me. At two years old, I am still quite playful, yet I have the settled nature of an adult cat.
Among my favorite things about the indoors is the food, the soft beds and the cool toys. Oh my, the food here is amazing. I love wet food and treats. And, I am so spoiled by the soft, cozy beds that I sneak onto the humans' bed when they are not around. Then, there are all the toys. I like to chase the ball in the turbo scratcher and those cat nip mice are much better than the real thing. What can I say? Life is good. Life is perfect….well, almost.
The only thing I lack is a home of my own. My foster family is very kind, but I can't stay here forever. So I want you to come meet me. And do not worry if you already have a cat or two because I like other cats. I am so gentle and gentlemanly that, even if they hiss at me or growl the first time we meet, I will just smile back and wait for them to come around to liking me. I am also curious about dogs and I am certain, if you had a respectful one, I could get along with him or her as well. Or, I could be your one and only. Like many rescued cats, I am not at all fussy. I will love you forever just because you have found a place in your heart and home for me. So what are you waiting for? Call PAWS now and ask to meet me. I am already purring in anticipation.
If you are interested in learning more about Noirot, or any of our other available cats and dogs, contact PAWS at 781-246-6111 or email@example.com or visit our website www.pawswakefield.org. You can also meet many of our cats at our weekly adoption hours at VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital (Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) or at the Danvers PetSmart (Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.). Different animals will be at each location. Mr. Leo and Lady Checkers are both currently residing at the PetSmart in Danvers.
Join us on Saturday Oct. 27 at the Kowloon Restaurant Concert Series to benefit PAWS. The concert features Shirley Alston Reeves, 1996 Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame inductee and the original lead singer of The Shirelles. In addition, special guest Pat Benti and his band will start off the night with a Roy Orbison tribute show. Tickets are going quickly, so call Kowloon now for reservations at 781-233-0077 and be sure to mention PAWS for preferred seating. Tickets are $30 and cover the concert (not food and beverages). Doors open at 6 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m.

NEW YORK -- Nick Johnson's September wasn't exactly one to remember, but he's making up for it in a hurry.
Before Thursday's Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox, Yankees manager Joe Torre turned slightly prophetic when talking about his first baseman.
"He's swinging the bat a lot better," Torre said. "He's quieter at the plate and seems to be on the ball as opposed to behind it."
Johnson was anything but quiet with one out in the second inning of Thursday's game, slamming a pivotal two-run home run.
With Hideki Matsui on first base, Johnson got a hanging cutter from Boston starter Derek Lowe, gave it a ride into the second deck in right field, and changed the tone of the ALCS in the process.
"That was huge," Yankees shortsop Derek Jeter said. "It gave us the first lead in the series and was a huge boost for us offensively. We needed it."
And it was a very welcome departure from the offensive funk Johnson fell into in the last week of September and carried over into October.
Johnson went hitless in his last 17 at-bats in the regular season and saw his batting average plummet from .305 to .284. He had one home run in 22 games since Sept. 11.
In the Yankees' AL Division Series win over the Minnesota Twins, Johnson went 1-for-13, although his one hit was a big two-run single in the Yankees' 8-1 series clincher in the Metrodome.
Johnson moved back into 0-for-ville with a hitless night in three at-bats against Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and the Boston bullpen in Game 1 of the ALCS, but with one quick swing Thursday, he might have righted himself.
According to Johnson, the slump wasn't a big deal and the homer wasn't really a big deal, either.
"I just had to take each at-bat and put it behind me, move on, and try to get my swing right," Johnson said. "I got a good pitch to hit."
But as understated as Johnson wanted to be, Yankees third baseman Aaron Boone and designated hitter Jason Giambi didn't hesitate to emphasize the importance of the home run.
Particularly for starter Andy Pettitte, who gave up six hits in the first two innings but ended up surrendering two runs in 6 2/3.
"He gave us the lead and Andy took it from there," Boone said.
"It was great," Giambi said. "It gave us a lift and Andy settled in and did what he always does."
According to Jeter, what Johnson always does is what he hasn't done much of lately.
"Nick can hit," Jeter said. "We all know that. He doesn't swing at many bad pitches and he puts the ball in play.
"Nothing he does offensively surprises me."

Georgia State School Board Votes to Keep Potter; Yet Another Appeal PlannedBooks
December 14, 2006, 11:16 AM
In the seemingly never-ending saga of Laura Mallory's fight to get Harry Potter banned from school bookshelves in Georgia, MSNBC reports that though the state board voted to keep the books, she is considering yet another appeal.
The board members apparently voted "without discussion" to keep the books, adding another foil to Mallory's now year-long fight to ban them from Gwinett County schools. She claims the books indoctrinate children in witchcraft.

Working Together, One Soul at a Time
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (Oct. 5, 2006) – In a city with such a storied past, Philadelphia-based Project H.O.M.E. and Habitat for Humanity are helping local families make some history of their own. Announced at a Thursday afternoon press conference, the relationship stems from the efforts of many and particularly from the commitment of recording artist Jon Bon Jovi and his co-owned Arena Football League team, the Philadelphia Soul.
The first phase in the collaboration—called The Phase V Homeownership Project—will result in 15 rehabilitated row houses on the city's north side, where many of the existing homes now lie vacant with crumbling corners, boarded up or broken windows. Former President Bill Clinton was on hand to help celebrate the announcement and commend the collaborative effort to create better communities—and to bring new life to blighted neighborhoods.
"There will always be a gap between where we are and where we want to be," Clinton said, referring to poverty in the world and the efforts to combat it. "So it's up to all of us … to step in and fill that gap." He said that is precisely what this newly formed partnership—and all of the many people involved with it—is doing.
Since 1988, Project H.O.M.E. has been working to rebuild Philadelphia's neighborhoods through a holistic development approach, which accounts for housing, but also for health care, education and job training. While Habitat remains focused on housing—as manifested in the Habitat houses built over the last 20 years by affiliates in Philadelphia—its interest lies in thoroughly transforming lives, realizing that housing is one part of a much larger whole.
And, according to Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford, "That's what makes this such a special partnership: Our missions and interests are very closely aligned. This kind of collaboration is exactly what we need to replicate in so many cities across the country and around the world in order to serve an ever-increasing number of families."
The Phase V Homeownership Project focuses on two blocks of historically significant, deteriorated row houses in North Central Philadelphia. By employing "green building strategies," Phase V will renovate existing structures into energy-efficient homes containing Energy Star-rated appliances. In addition, reducing block density and developing side yards in the area all are significant steps toward promoting long-term health, safety, and affordability for owners.
Jon Bon Jovi has been involved with Habitat for Humanity for more than a year, having worked with HFH Philadelphia on three duplexes in the city—also the setting in which he recorded the video for his No. 1 hit single "Who Says You Can't Go Home?" Bon Jovi also has funded nearly 30 homes in Katrina-ravaged Louisiana through a contribution to Oprah Winfrey's Angel's Network.
As further means of recognizing Bon Jovi's support of and passion for Habitat's mission, Reckford announced Thursday that the singer, songwriter and philanthropist will be the founding ambassador in Habitat for Humanity's new Ambassadors Program. As ambassadors blend their high profile with their Habitat involvement, they will help raise awareness of both the need for and the work of Habitat for Humanity and its many partners around the world.
Habitat's first ambassador already has done much more than that, and the relationship he cultivates with both Habitat for Humanity and Project H.O.M.E. is a strong measure of his commitment to improving lives.
"One of the greatest social goods is helping people take responsibility for themselves," Bon Jovi said. "And I truly believe we can do that … working together … one soul at a time."

Thieves steal three lorries and 14 tonnes of coal from Burnley
Updated 12:13pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News
A GANG of thieves broke into a coal merchant's and stole three vehicles loaded with 14 tonnes of coal.
They also stole wood burning stoves and fuel from A & B Milligan Ltd, in Plumbe Street, Burnley.
The premises, in a former tannery, were targetd at around 6.30pm on Wednesday.
It is thought they entered from the back of the premises along the Leeds Liverpool canal and smashed a padlocked gate open.
They loaded sacks of coal on to two Leyland Daf wagons and a Ford Transit van before escaping.
The vehicles seen leaving the compound on CCTV at around 7.45pm.
One of the wagons was later recovered by police in Rishton.
The 'excel' type coal was in distinctive cream-coloured bags marked with the firm's name.
Stuart Milligan, 51, whose family has run the business for more than 100 years, urged anyone who is offered the stolen stock to call police.
He said: "It's just caused a lot of hassle and aggrevation, having to sort the out insurance.
"It was about 6.15am in the morning. We came and I saw the lock was broken off the gate. I thought, 'we've been turned over again'.
"The police came, but they found nothing. They'd tidied up and it's a dirty coal yard.
"Nobody saw anything. They broke in through the fence from the canal.
"One hundred and fifty folk come through here a day. It wouldn't be hard to weigh the job up.
"When the police had taken some pictures we tidied up and just got on with the day."
A Leyland Daf, with the registration 280 JKY, was later recovered but the whereabouts of the offenders and the stolen goods are still unknown.
The Milligan family have been involved in the delivery of coal for over 100 years, and have been on their current Plumbe Street site for 20 years.
This is the first break-in that the firm has suffered in 13 years.
Stuart's father Albert was awarded the title of 'Coalman of the Year' in 1996 by the Coal Merchants Federation.
In 1995 he bid for a Guinness World Record to recognise the business as the first fully undercover coal yard in the UK.
Stuart now runs the family business with his wife Claire, while brother Tony delivers from the site as an independant coal merchant.
The stolen Ford Transit van has the registration W749 NEF. The Leyland Daf 45 wagon is blue and sign-written with the words 'A. Lockett & Son, Littleborough.' It has the registration plate 5336 YAD.
A police spokeswoman said: "The offenders approached the locked, secure business and forced open a padlock on a metal gate and gained entry.
"They loaded three trucks with pallets of coal and wood burners before driving off. They have taken a Ford Transit van and two Leyland lorries.
"The bags of coal are distinctive, they have 'Milligans' written on them.
"Unfortunately the businesses next door haven't seen or heard anything.
"Police are making inquires, but we are appealing for anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious at the time, or who has any information to call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."

Les Misérables, which has already paid one false farewell to the Great White Way, closing in 2003 only to return for a 14-month run in 2006, is on its way back again!
Producer Cameron Mackintosh announced May 30 that his 25th-anniversary, re-imagined production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg's musical will return to the Imperial Theatre—the show's home on Broadway for nearly 13 years of its original 16-year run—on March 1, 2014.
The new staging will feature fresh scenic and narrative elements and new orchestrations. It will be directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, with a design by Matt Kinley that was inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. Les Misérables is currently playing on tour across North America.
Mendes and Marshall have induced Alan Cumming to return as the Master of Ceremonies, a role that made the Scot famous and won him a Tony. As for Sally Bowles, ubiquitous film star Emma Stone had previously been reported as a contender. But, according to The New York Times this week, Stone will not be taking part in the venture.
(Representatives for the Roundabout Theatre Company could not confirm details of the revival, or Mendes' and Marshall's attachment, to Playbill.com.)Continued...

Toad Soup
When I arrived in Glória (my Peace Corps site) Brunie had already been there a year. Kindly, she let me share her small house. We soon developed a routine of shopping at the weekly market and performing other household chores. I hated to clean and Brunie was bored with cooking, so Brunie did most of the cleaning while I usually prepared meals, although Brunie cooked occasionally.
When she first told me she was going to make ox tail soup, I was doubtful that I would like it, but it was delicious. She cooked ox tails until they were tender, then added whatever vegetables were readily available at Glória's market: onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and cabbage. We could also add rice or break spaghetti into short pieces. It was easy to make and we could let it simmer on the stove while we worked through the afternoon.
Since ox tail soup was Brunie's specialty and she was very proud of her soup, she would buy several ox tails at the local market on Saturday if we were expecting company the next week. We served her soup with small loaves of fresh pão (each about the size of a sausage bun,) manteiga (butter), and fresh fruit for dessert.
Brunie's two-year commitment in the Peace Crops was up about the time I was celebrating the end of my first year there. I never met anyone who loved the Peace Corps and Brazil as much as Brunie, but after two years, she was looking forward to going home to her close-knit family. However, a new group of trainees was arriving in Aracajú, so the director asked Brunie if she would stay to help with the training.
Brunie left most of her belongings in Glória and would visit occasionally through the 12-weeks of training. Twice, trainees were sent to spend a few days with us, so they could see what it was like in the field.
I will mention here that it sometimes seemed that when I had been in training, that our trainers would intentionally throw an unusual situation at a trainee, just to see how s/he would react.
I don't remember the name of one of the trainees who visited Glória, so I will call her Becky. She, like us, was in her early twenties.
Brunie made ox tail soup for dinner the first night Becky stayed with us. We were conversing over our bowls of soup. Brunie was explaining how politics worked in small towns. Becky had stopped eating. She held her spoon in front of her, politely waiting for Brunie to end her lengthy explanation. Then Becky asked very calmly, "Do I have to eat the frog?"
Brunie & I looked at her and asked, "Frog?"
"The frog in my soup," Becky added, holding her spoon out for us to see.
"That's not a frog, that's a piece of cabbage," Brunie said.
"But it IS a frog," Becky said.
Brunie took the spoon from our guest's hand and lifted the green "cabbage" with her fingers. Then, she suddenly threw it on the floor, and shrieked, "It IS a frog."
We surmised that one of the tiny frogs that hopped around everywhere, including our kitchen, must have committed unintentional suicide by hopping into the pot of soup as it simmered on the stove.
To no one's surprise, Becky thought we had planted it there under the direction of the PC trainers or psychologists to see how she would react. We assured her we were not a party to such a prank, but if we had been, Becky had stayed calm and cool so she would have passed the psych test with flying colors ---or maybe with flying frogs.
After removing the frog, which had been well-cooked, we continued to eat our soup. However, the next day, no one seemed keen on having the leftovers, so we ordered a roasted chicken from a local bar and went there for dinner.
When we told the story about the soup to a brazilian friend, the tale was quickly passed from neighbor to neighbor. Within hours, everyone in town knew about the crazy Americans who cooked frogs in their soup.
It so happens that the Portuguese word for soup is sopa and the word for toad is sapo, so the Brazilians were soon talking about the new American delicacy called soup of toad ---SOPA DE SAPO in Portuguese.

It's been a busy week for San Mateo County's supervisors.
After of District 4, on Monday, the supervisors bid farewell to 14-year board veteran Rose Jacobs-Gibson, and then immediately picked their new president and vice-president during a meeting in Pacifica Tuesday evening.
Don Horsely will serve as the board's president for 2013, alongside Dave Pine as vice-president.
After being selected, Horsely gave a speech thanking the board and touching upon his priorities as president in 2013.
"This evening my comments are about hope for the future, but tempered by a dose of reality," Horsely began. "It's not enough to suggest that because San Mateo County has one of the most resilient economies in California, that we are out of the woods."
Horsely said he felt encouraged by the passage of Measure A in the Nov. 6th election, and that he thought it would go a long way toward making much-needed improvements in county services over the next 10 years.
"Believe me when I say that voters will see results and improvements in everything from health and human services to parks," Horsely said. "The quality of life in San Mateo County will continue to grow."
Horsely also said he is committed to exploring issues of safety in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. in December.
"Together with local stakeholders and San Mateo County Superintendent of Education Anne Campbell, [the Board of Supervisors] will be developing a plan to explore the effectiveness of our mental health programs, our safety in schools programs and how well our local gun regulation and registration policies are implemented," he explained. "We are not going to usurp any state or national directives, but we are not going to ignore local possibilities."
Horsely also said he would be offering his full support to fellow Supervisor Carole Groom and her efforts with the Peninsula Policy Leadership Council, to help ensure all children in San Mateo County - even those in under-performing schools - are able to read at-level by the third grade.
"We know that goal is an indicator of a child's future life-long success. Together, we can do this," he said.
Horsely also cited agriculture and help for farmers along the county's coastline as one of his priorities in the coming year.
Which issues would you like to see Horsely and the Board of Supervisors concentrate more on in 2013? Tell us in the comments below.

Should Oklahoma State freshman Le'Bryan Nash make the jump to the NBA after just one season in Stillwater.
I think many people would say no.
He's a talented player, but he probably has more maturing to do and a couple more years in college would do him well.
But a recent mock 2012 NBA Draft has Nash going in the first round to the Chicago Bulls as the 29th overall pick.
Nash is shooting 40-percent from the field and is second on the team in points with a little over 13 per game.
Nash and the Oklahoma State Cowboys next face Oklahoma on Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 7:0pm in Norman. You can watch the Bedlam match up on Tulsa's Channel 8.

3.3/5 rDev +1.5%
On-tap at Bootlegger's
A: The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a big white head.
S: Lots of citrus hops, which is sort of surprising for an "English" pale ale. There is plenty of bready malt character and a bit of a floral note, too. A little bit of a honey aroma, too.
T: Slightly watery in terms if the flavor, unfortunately. There is a nice sweetness to it, though, both in terms of fruits and malt. A little bit of citrus hop character and a nce floral note. Not much bitterness.
M: Medium in body with a fairly low carbonation.
O: Not amazing, but decent enough. My half pint pour was enough.

3.2/5 rDev -1.5%
Sampled 6/11/2011 at the brewery.
Pours clear dark yellow, 1/2 inch white head, good lacing, only a little retention.
Aroma is of old hops, pine, and some earthy notes.
Flavor is malty and sweet but over loaded with dank earthy hops. Medium bitterness and a bit watery. Over all it's kind of weird.
Body is light but could be a little more carbonated.
