TRUenergy, AGL echo gas shortage fearsPUBLISHED: 19 Apr 2012 17:18:00 | UPDATED: 20 Apr 2012 04:18:47PUBLISHED: 20 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 20 Apr 2012

Two of Australia's largest gas providers have backed a warning by Rio Tinto that big industry will struggle to secure domestic supply deals after 2014 as producers start shipping liquefied natural gas to Asia.
TRUenergy and AGL echoed concerns raised by Rio that Australia's large domestic users were facing problems securing contracts as energy companies focused on the offshore sale of gas from $220 billion of LNG projects this decade.
TRU, the second-largest Australian generator by power station capacity, warned that governments must act to protect gas reserves ahead of first exports from major LNG projects in Gladstone, which will diminish the amount of gas supply available to energy generators.
"In 2014-15 it's going to be like someone took the plug out," TRU chief executive Richard McIndoe told a forum in Brisbane yesterday.
"At that point in time there is a clear gas shortage and potential impact on electricity supply."
Mr McIndoe said it was important that operators were allowed to continue to develop their existing gas reserves amid opposition to coal-seam gas development in NSW and Queensland.
"Government needs to work with the industry to ensure that those gas reserves are developed," he said.
AGL, which is developing coal seam gas reserves in NSW, said the gas shortfall was most problematic in Queensland, but would become an issue in NSW.
"There are a number of miners in the Mount Isa region at the moment who are looking for gas," AGL chief executive Michael Fraser said yesterday. "I won't name names, but yes I am aware and yes there are other people out there looking for long-term gas."
Some sections of local industry have called for a proportion of gas to be reserved for onshore processing to feed the manufacturing sector.
But Mr Fraser said that would send the wrong signal to gas users. "In relation to NSW the reality is that there is no gas to actually reserve. From my perspective [warehousing gas] is not a good policy as you end up with distorting investment signals. What we actually need is a way forward where we can safely develop these resources. There is gas, but it's just that we can't move forward at the moment."
LNG projects under construction in Gladstone include the QGC project, owned by the UK's BG Group and worth $20 billion, Santos's $16 billion Gladstone LNG development, and the Origin Energy-ConocoPhillips $14 billion Australia Pacific LNG facility that will ship gas from 2015.
Shell and PetroChina have also laid out plans for a fourth venture in the Queensland port town.

Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
Mine gets new owners, same CEO
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The old New Britannia gold mine in Snow Lake has new owners once again, but the CEO of the newest buyer was also the CEO of the last company that bought the property.
David Rigg is CEO of Liberty Mines Inc., which has entered into an agreement to acquire the Snow Lake gold mine from QMX Gold Corp. for $20 million.
The deal is scheduled to close in November contingent on a number of factors, including Liberty's ability to come up with financing for the transaction.
Rigg was CEO of Alexis Minerals (as QMX was then called) in early 2010 when it bought the property from Garson Gold and is intimately familiar with the property.
Rigg was unavailable for comment, but a release from Liberty makes it clear it intends to leverage Rigg's knowledge of the property, stating, "The 2010 feasibility study of the Snow Lake property will be the basis upon which Liberty Mines expects to recommence production activities."
Rigg was in charge when the feasibility study was being produced and stepped down as CEO of QMX in early 2011 to become chairman of the board.
With gold trading on Thursday around $1,365, it is worth at least $200 per ounce more than it was when the mine's feasibility study was done, which may make it seem even more likely it is a viable project.
Not surprisingly, provincial mining officials were excited about the possibility of a new player involved in the property that has proven and probable reserves of 450,000 ounces of gold and expectations of plenty more in the region.
Ed Huebert, of the Mining Association of Manitoba, said "We're very optimistic. We see this having the potential of really adding value in Snow Lake."
He said it is not uncommon for properties to be held by numerous different owners before production can commence. Gold production took place at the Snow Lake mine from 1949 to 1958 and then from 1995 to 2005.
The town of Snow Lake is already in buildup mode with the successful development of HudBay Minerals' Lalor gold/zinc/copper mine just outside of town.
Alexis paid Garson about $32 million in a stock transaction when it acquired the mine in 2010 and spent a sizable amount in an attempt to prepare it for production. Unconfirmed reports indicate QMX has laid off about 15 people who were working at the mine doing pre-production work at the site.
The 2010 feasibility study called for pre-production capital costs of about $41 million. QMX needed to raise about $20 million in equity to trigger a $45-million loan it had negotiated with Credit Suisse.
But the capital markets have been avoiding the junior mining sector like the plague. As well, QMX had capital needs at another small gold-producing mine in Quebec that some say put a drag on its chances to get the Snow Lake mine going.
Although Liberty also needs to raise the purchase price and startup capital, some believe it will have a better chance accessing the required capital than QMX had.
Liberty is 60 per cent controlled by Jien International Investments, a Toronto-based company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. a company based in Shanghai.
Liberty also owns two former producing nickel mines and a concentrator near Timmins, Ont.

A small group of experts gathered nearly two decades ago in an effort to articulate a set of enduring principles to help policymakers develop sound environmental policy. After a period of debate and dialogue, these individuals produced eight principles rooted in individual liberty, property rights, and free markets that became known as the American Conservation Ethic, first published in 1996. Following publication, the authors introduced these new ideas to a wider audience, often referring to them in speeches, writings, and other analyses.
This volume builds on the American Conservation Ethic by putting forth a comprehensive set of policy recommendations to go along with the principles. In the following pages The Heritage Foundation not only republishes the principles for a new generation of policymakers, it also calls on many of the Ethic's original authors and other experts to describe how precisely to put these principles into action.
Introduction: Environmental Conservation
Eight Principles of the American Conservation Ethic
1. Government Claims on Private Property
2. A Mechanism for Compensation of Regulatory Takings
3. The Clean Water Act: A Problem with a Solution
4. Clean Air Through Liberty: Reforming the Clean Air Act
5. The National Environmental Policy Act
6. The Endangered Species Act: An Opportunity for Reform
7. The Federal Estate: Opening Access to America's Resources
8. Carbon Dioxide Regulation and the American Conservation Ethic
9. Fixing the Flawed U.N. Approach to International Environmental Policy
Introduction: Environmental Conservation
In order to realize our nation's primary environmental goal—a clean, healthy, and safe environment—policymakers should pursue regulations based on economic and individual freedom
Eight Principles of the American Conservation Ethic
These eight basic principles, first published in 1996, should guide and inform America's environmental policy.
1. Government Claims on Private Property
by The Honorable Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II
For the Framers of the Constitution, the right to property was the essential principle of free government—"the guardian of every other right." And yet, recent Supreme Court decisions have undermined this right, and as a result, property owners are now faced with the possibility of losing significant economic value through regulatory takings.
2. A Mechanism for Compensation of Regulatory Takings
by The Honorable Edwin Meese III and Robert GordonRegulatory takings decrease private property rights through bureaucratic measures and often have an unintended (and frequently negative) impact on conservation goals. To address this erosion of private property rights, Congress must protect private property from both physical and regulatory takings.
3. The Clean Water Act: A Problem with a Solution
by M. Reed Hopper
As a result of its broad reach, as well as the severity of its penalties, the Clean Water Act presents an unparalleled risk to individual freedom and economic growth.
4. Clean Air Through Liberty: Reforming the Clean Air Act
by The Honorable Kathleen Hartnett White
Over the past 40 years, the EPA has incrementally expanded regulatory authority under the Clean Air Act. The current EPA, however, is on an unprecedented regulatory spree that jeopardizes electric reliability, jobs, U.S. competitiveness, and state economies.
5. The National Environmental Policy Act
by The Honorable Craig Manson and Diane Katz
Predating the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was the legislative vanguard for environmental laws and regulations, but 40 years of experience has proved that NEPA is out of sync with present environmental, political, social, and economic realities.
6. The Endangered Species Act: An Opportunity for Reform
by The Honorable John Shadegg and Robert Gordon
The goal of the Endangered Species Act—the conservation of species—is laudable. In practice, however, this Nixon-era command-and-control environmental law has proven itself to be a costly and ineffective conservation tool.
7. The Federal Estate: Opening Access to America's Resources
by The Honorable Donald Paul Hodel and the Honorable Becky Norton Dunlop
The federal government owns nearly one-third of the United States, a percentage that continues to increase as federal bureaucracies expand their reach and the scope of their activities. The current approach to managing the Federal Estate prevents good stewardship of these lands, but there are policy decisions that could be made to further fruitful and responsible use of these federal lands.
8. Carbon Dioxide Regulation and the American Conservation Ethic
by David W. Kreutzer, PhD, and Roy W. Spencer, PhD
Though it is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and critical to photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been rebranded as a pollutant harmful to human health. This transformation— based on exaggeration and misinformation—is now fueling misguided calls for CO2 regulation.
9. Fixing the Flawed U.N. Approach to International Environmental Policy
by Christopher C. Horner, Henry I. Miller, MS, MD, and Brett D. Schaefer
The practice of addressing international environmental concerns (and, increasingly, domestic ones) through global forums is fraught with problems and contradicts conservative principles of free markets, property rights, individual liberty, and devolution of decision-making to the most local level possible.

Tuesday's tragedy was by far the worst.

The first American space tragedy occurred the night of Jan. 27, 1967, when the first Apollo crewmen -- Mercury veteran Virgil 'Gus' Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee -- were running through routine ground tests in their sealed command module at Cape Canaveral.
Fire ignited by an electrical spark engulfed their oxygen-rich cabin. They died within seconds as ground teams worked furiously and futilely to free them, risking their lives beneath the Apollo escape rockets which the inferno could have set off.
A Soviet accident also took the lives of three men.
On June 30, 1971, Soyuz 11 cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolski, Vladislav Volkov and Viktor Patsayev were returning to Earth after docking with and spending 23 days orbiting in the Salyut space station.
They suddenly lost cabin pressure during re-entry in the Earth's atmosphere and suffocated before parachutes lowered their ship to the ground.
Some space experts believe other Soviet cosmonauts have died, but there is no confirmation.
Scattered through the years have been a succession of fearsome spaceflight emergencies that could have taken many more lives.
Of the four shuttles in NASA's stable -- Columbia, Challenger, Discovery and Atlantis -- Challenger had gained a reputation as a workhorse through its nine previous flights. But it had two close calls.
Its July 12, 1984, mission ended before it could begin when the main engines shut down seconds before liftoff. The culprit was a balky rocket engine fuel valve and launch was reset for July 29.
That blastoff appeared normal until 5 minutes, 45 seconds after takeoff when the spaceplane's center main engine shut down, forcing an emergency ''abort to orbit'' that left the ship at a lower-than-planned altitude. Challenger, however, was able to continue its mission.
Another close call came on the eighth shuttle mission Aug. 30, 1983, when defective material in Challenger's solid rocket nozzles almost permitted the searing flame to burn through the metal. That would have thrown the ship wildly out of control.
On the Gemini 6 flight, astronauts Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford were set for launch on Dec. 12, 1965, and the Titan 2 rockets ignited right on time.
One and a half seconds later they shut down. Thunderstruck launch teams and spectators held their breath. Would the tons of fuel above the smoking engines explode?
Schirra had the option of blowing the hatches and ejecting himself and Stafford, but that itself entailed great risks. Schirra scanned his dials and sat tight. They sat strapped in their seats for two hours before mission managers decided it was safe to get them out.
They successfully took to the skies three days later.
Tragedy almost struck again on the flight of Gemini 8 on March 17, 1966.
Neil Armstrong and David Scott were only hours into their mission when a short circuit caused a thruster to stick open. Their spacecraft begin to spin wildly, faster and faster, but the disoriented crewmen managed to stabilize it before all was lost.
Armstrong and Scott immediately returned to Earth with precariously little fuel left.
On Nov. 11, 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean were launched into a thunderstorm, which NASA experts believed posed no lightning hazards. They learned different in a hurry.
After climbing only a few hundred yards, the rocket was hit by two bolts of lightning. But there was no explosion and the systems survived to take the crew to the moon and back.
Easily the most hair-raising and storied crisis of them all was Apollo 13, which for four days held the attention of a spellbound world.
It began with Commander James Lovell's chilling words: ''Houston, we have a problem.''
Lovell, Fred Haise and John Swigert, launched April 11, 1970, were 56 hours into their flight when a liquid oxygen tank exploded, knocking out their main engine. Then two fuel cells failed.
In near-freezing temperatures, they survived on oxygen from their fragile lunar module, and used its engines -- which were never intended for such a task -- to nurse them around the moon and toward Earth.
''The public considers Apollo 11 the first moon landing NASA's greatest achievement,'' one official said. ''NASA considers it Apollo 13.''

By CHRISTINA A. CASSIDYAssociated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - The trial in the lawsuit of a former state ethics commission employee alleging retaliation for investigating complaints against Gov. Nathan Deal has been delayed.
Judge Constance Russell granted a continuance Friday after hearing from attorney Ed Buckley, who said three key witnesses are unable to testify because of medical issues.
Assistant Attorney General Kelly Campanella also asked the judge to quash a subpoena calling Deal to testify. Campanella says the governor doesn't have firsthand information pertaining to the case, and the judge is expected to rule later.
Sherry Streicker is the former deputy at the ethics commission. She claims commissioners eliminated her position and cut her boss's salary as they were seeking approval to issue subpoenas in the investigation of Deal's 2010 campaign reports.
Commissioners have denied wrongdoing.

Were you among the thousands to lose power on Monday? Not sure what to do when there is no TV, no Xbox, and no electricity? Be prepared for power outages by stocking up on great books from the library, in addition to candles, matches, flashlights, batteries, and a radio! Stay safe and stay entertained with a little help from these great books.
What's your favorite non-electrified activity?
For the whole family:
For the couple:
I woke up this morning and realized that today is July 15th, a major theme of the novel I'm currently reading - One Day by British author, David Nicholls. I can't tell you everything since I'm only in the middle of it but I couldn't resist writing about it on this day.
Nicholls follows two characters over twenty years of July 15ths, tracing the path of their changing lives and relationship. They say if you like Nick Hornby, author of A Long Way Down, About a Boy, and High Fidelity, you'll love this. ; It's all the rage in the UK. I don't have a verdict yet but am compelled enough to keep going - it's easy summer fare.
The lush Loire Valley, fragrant pain au chocolat, soaring Eiffel Tower, and haute couture may be thousand miles away. A good read for the Francophile is not.
Beacoup fiction, travelogues, and memoirs abound with French and Parisian themes:
Controversial baseball legend, George Michael "The Boss" Steinbrenner III, owner of the New York Yankees, has passed away, a week after his 80th birthday.
Many books have been written about Mr. Steinbrenner. Regarding himself, he said, "I'm really 95 percent Mr. Rogers, and only 5 percent Oscar the Grouch."
Harvey Pekar, author of the American Splendor comic series, died today at the age of 70. The cause of death is not yet known but Pekar suffered from cancer, which he and his wife wrote about in Our Cancer Year.
Harvey Lawrence Pekar was born October 8, 1939 and was best known for writing the American Splendor series, which chronicled Pekar's everyday life in Cleveland and was illustrated by a variety of artists including R. Crumb. Pekar was also a huge jazz fan and critic and authored a jazz opera called Leave Me Alone.
I'm not sure what it is about treehouses that enthrall us so. Is it that they are magical structures that can so easily become a spaceship or pirate ship, or that we build them together?
Whether you make your own ice cream, or like to visit the many great local ice cream parlors, the library has the scoop on everything ice cream.
Entertainment Weekly asked Stephen King for some hot summer reading suggestions, many of which are already on the New York Times Best Sellers List.
Stephen King recommends:
LeBron James is announcing his decision live on Thursday, July 8 at 9 PM ET on ESPN.
I was reminded while watching Hoop Reality, that only 1.2% of all college basketball players are recruited to the NBA. James is a very talented and lucky man. A recent trip to watch the Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks (sans an injured Candace Parker) had me wondering about the percentage of young women being recruited to the WNBA.

Fun times
Let's hear it for the 305! Miami has been selected as one of the cities that will be hosting the FIX-IT FELIX, JR game console tour (based on the film) that is taking place throughout the country in big cities. Families and gamers in the South Florida area will be able to try out the game for free 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at GAME TIME venue located inside the Shops at Sunset Place in South Miami from Oct 26 through Nov 4. The video game features classic video game stars Fix-It Felix Jr. and Wreck-It Ralph from Disney's big-screen adventure, out Nov. 2.
Film synopsis: Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been long overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time?

Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power holding Knockout Power Challenge at ConExpo-Con/Agg
Tina Grady Barbaccia | March 14, 2011
Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power will hold its Knockout Power Challenge at 2011 ConExpo-Con/Agg held March 22-26 in Las Vegas.
The challenge gives attendees a chance to win prizes and stake their claim as a "heavy hitter" by taking a swing at a boxing machine that records the power of each participant's punch.
Visitors to the Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power at outdoor Booth No. 652 can pick up a fight card entry form and take a swing.
Briggs & Stratton will award several prizes in multiple categories, including the following:
• Beef jerky for all participants,
• $100 poker chips for the top three male and female hitters each day,
• "Heavy Hitter" T-shirts for the top three male and female hitters each day, and
• $500 for one winner randomly selected from all participants after the show.
"We are excited to give ConExpo-Con/Agg attendees a chance to prove their toughness," said Dan Roche, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power. "After they've thrown their punch, we hope they'll take a moment to learn about how our new line of Vanguard single-cylinder engines with the TransportGuard system is tough enough to withstand whatever the job site throws at it."
Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power recently introduced four new Vanguard single-cylinder engines with gross horsepower ratings ranging from 5.5 horsepower to 10.0 horsepower. The engines represent many new features specifically designed to address the top worksite challenges cited by end-user customers and OEMs: heavy dust, lack of regular maintenance, filtration issues and oil dilution during transportation.
The new engines will be on display during the show at Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power's indoor Booth No. S17239.

'Tis the season of giving. Retailers draw in shoppers with glitz and glitter. The pressure's on now to find those perfect gifts and accomplish all the items on the ever growing "to do" list. Of course, amid the hustle and bustle, our usual obligations are still there, compounding the demands on our already limited time and energy. Stress can build and sleep can suffer.
Fortunately, as nurses, we're pretty darn good at multitasking. It's a critically important organizational skill we learned early on to manage heavy or difficult workloads. We've trained our minds to stay several steps ahead of the task at hand. Given the complexity of the world today, multitasking ability is essential to handle the speed of life. So then what's the problem? In preparing for the future by staying three steps ahead, we lose the present.
The signs and symptoms are subtle. They include arriving at work with only a vague recollection of how you actually got there. Conversations that your spouse, kids, friends, coworkers, and even patients attempt to have with you are one-sided-you're not really present, they know it, and you feel guilty. You find yourself going through the motions for each activity in your day but never really pausing to appreciate the individual moments. Finally, there's the nagging frustration and anxiety that come from experiencing any perceived barriers or setbacks that throw you off your intended course or timeline. All in all, it's not an ideal way to live life.
The age-old advice to "take time to smell the roses" is really about being present in the moment and appreciating the here and now. This means tuning in to people who are trying to communicate with you and gifting them with your undivided attention, at least for a few precious minutes. Indeed, you may have to place some boundaries around the time you can afford to spend, but when you're present, you're really there with them. The gift of presence conveys that you care enough to personally connect and fully engage. It's the basis for healthy relationships and caring interactions. It's also a gift that you can keep on giving, year in and year out. With each recipient the exchange is unique, and you get to experience the joy of living moment by moment despite the speed of life.
Until next time...

OPP: Mom is a Cougar
by Slacker and Steve
posted Jan 8 2013 3:28PM
Being happy for the success of family members isn't always easy. Today's OPP is upset that her Mom is doing better than her… Amanda's mom is a cougar. She goes to the same bars as her, dresses inappropriately, and gets more men than Amanda. Amanda says that she is supposed to be having the time of her life while she is young, but her mom is ruining it! Amanda wants to put a stop to it.
Slacker thinks Amanda is being a brat. Her mom is more confident and confidence is more attractive. Slacker and Steve both agree that either Amanda needs to bow out, or they need to divide up the town. Either way, Amanda needs to talk to her mom.
What advice do you have for Amanda? Should she talk to her mom? Do they divide up the town?

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 1 lb of pasta (whatever shape you'd like, doesn't matter), cooked according to instructions on box, drained & shocked in cold water to stop cooking process. To drained pasta add a bit of olive oil (I like to use the olive oil that comes from the sundries tomatoes jar, lots of flavor, but regular is fine) to coat pasta. You can also use orzo in place of the pasta.
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)
- 1 cup diced/cubed fresh mozzarella
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- **You can also add in 1/2 cup diced fresh cherry/grape tomatoes for freshness
- 1/2-1 cup Basil oil/Pesto
- Black olives, sliced (optional)
- Green olives (optional), chopped in half
- Basil rough chopped (optional)
- Salt, pepper, & garlic powder (granules) to taste - we like garlic, but minced garlic never seems to add much flavor, so I generally stick with garlic granules & kinda lay it on thick to our garlicky tastes
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve right away or cover & place in refrigerator to meld all flavors together.
NotesWe were attending a BBQ one summer & of course my husband volunteered for "us" to make some sort of side-dish. I made this golden goodie up on the fly & it's been a fave in our house ever since then. It's good cold or warmed up.

CNET On Cars
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Formerly known as the Vita TV, the microconsole will be available for $99 or in a $139 bundle with a controller. We gave it a try at E3 2014.
The attractively designed $400 Bowers & Wilkins Z2 wireless speaker sounds pretty good and has a built-in Lightning dock, but it doesn't quite stand out enough in a crowded market.
This phablet packs the Xperia Z's beautiful design in a supersized 6.44-inch frame and looks set to give the Samsung Galaxy Note range a run for its money.
Pricing not available
Some first impressions of the company's new compact, least expensive interchangeable-lens camera.
There may be no Android, but Samsung's Z phone running its in-house Tizen operating system looks enough like the Galaxy S5's custom interface to easily get around.
Pricing not available
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
Get ready for living-room gaming, Amazon-style: a new controller aims to bring games to the big screen with Fire TV.

8th Circuit Upholds Summary Judgment for Pain Pump Injury Defendant
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a summary judgment in favor of Stryker Corp. in relation to a lawsuit filed because of damage caused to a patient's shoulder following the implant of a post-surgery pain pump.
The device was designed and marketed as a way to help alleviate patient pain following surgical procedures by injecting a set dosage of drugs (here, bupivacaine) at various intervals directly at the surgical site. However, in this case, Mack, et al. v. Stryker Corp., et al.,, and several others, the pain pumps ended up reportedly causing more harm than good.
Defective medical device attorneys know this is not the first time Stryker has come under fire for its products. Its knee replacement devices were the subject of a Class 1 recall by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in April last year. These products have also been the subject of extensive litigation.

The Great British Summer is coming to a close but not so are our cravings for English fare. Thankfully, a few stateside chums are satisfying our longings by catering to the tastes of home.
New York City—where our buying trips require maximum stamina—is home to a few worthy spots for British fare seekers. For a hearty start to a rigorous day, we grab breakfast at Alice's Tea Cup—a wonderfully whimsical tea room with a global selection of teas and delightfully decadent foods all made to order.
The chicken bangers and "very un-mash" is a must-have for starting the day off jolly right.
For our sweeter palates, it's the waffles with blueberry compound butter and real maple syrup that beckons.
And the chocolate-raspberry scone with raspberry preserves and homemade clotted cream—as good as mum's!
With three locations throughout the city, there's not an excuse to miss the food or the experience at Alice's Tea Cup.
Our lunch favourite is Tea and Sympathy, where the menu of the traditional British kind defies any notion that the nation's food is blasé and includes bangers 'n mash, shepherd's pie, welsh rarebit, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and more. The setting-- a delightful interpretation of a quintessential English corner in the heart of Greenwich Village-- is cosy and eclectic with an assortment of mismatched china for tea service that is just simply charming.
Founded by the able hands of south London native Nicky Perry, Tea & Sympathy serves up an ample British plate and cuppa for our homesick bellies.
A staff favourite of chicken pot pie, peas and mash!
Assorted English tea sandwiches
Save room for dessert to enjoy alongside one of their specialty teas.
Nicky Perry delights in her heritage and it's seen in the details. Guests can pick up a British newspaper, browse the shop for take home teas, sweets, and gifts, or schedule a special delivery by way of an authentic London cab. Tea & Sympathy is a must try for all, especially culinary starved Brits.
Tea & Sympathy also loans it's expertise to the authentic fish and chip shop, A Salt & Battery, just a few doors down. We hear it's worth a tasting too!

September 2, 2014
Cortez, Colo. (A) A Navajo weaver known for her award-winning rugs has been found shot dead in a home south of Cortez, Colorado.
The Montezuma county sheriff's office considers Anita Tsosie's death a homicide and investigators have identified her estranged husband, 53-year-old Herman Tsosie, as a suspect.
He was last seen driving a white four-door Ford truck, and authorities consider him armed and dangerous.
Emergency medical personnel responded Monday afternoon after getting a report of a medical problem at the home. They discovered the body of Anita Tsosie.
The weaver grew up in Sweetwater, Arizona, and later moved to Cortez.
She earned the best of show and other honors at the 2004 Santa Fe Indian Market and was recognized in 2006 for being the most innovative in her category.
She also has earned first place honors at the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial.

Some people call it the Scandinavian Molokai. Others simply call it "Strokes". In only 3 years the phenomena known as Strokes has become the flagship Open Ocean race event in Northern Europe. This weekend saw the 3rd annual edition take place across 44 kilometers of wild Open Ocean from Sealand to Jutland in my home country of Denmark.
Strokes was the idea of Danish "SUP Madman" Folke Nørgaard, who felt we needed a big Open Ocean SUP race in Northern Europe. He was very inspired by the Molokai 2 Oahu race and wanted to do something similar here… → READ MORE

BENDIGO netball star Caitlin Thwaites was most valuable player as NSW Swifts scored an 18-goal win against Haier Pulse in round five of the trans-Tasman netball championship.
Playing against her former club for the first time, Thwaites scored 30 goals from 36 attempts in the Swifts fourth victory of the season.
Her third quarter was superb and forced Pulse to make the unusual change of Katrina Grant from goalkeeper to wing defence.
The 63-45 victory was the Swifts biggest of the season.
Thwaites and Susan Pratley, 27 from 30, capitalised on the slick passes from centre and captain Kimberlee Green and replacement player Sarah Wall.
Off-season recruit Gretel Tippett made her Swifts debut as a final quarter substitute for Thwaites and scored six goals from 11 attempts.
The Pulse, who have never won in Australia, turned the ball over too many times, resulting in 27 fewer shots for veteran shooters Irene van Dyk, 32/34, and Donna Wilkins, 13/16.
Swifts led 16-15 at the first break and won the second term, 17-12.
The lead was 14 goals by the final change.
Tippett, the younger sister of Sydney Swans AFL forward Kurt Tippett, became a competition record 15th player to turn out for the injury-hit Swifts this season.
Thwaites said knowledge of the Pulse defenders had come in handy.
''Having played over there, I know what they are trying to achieve and the spaces where you can go,'' Thwaites said.
The netball and volleyball ace is a multiple monthly winner in the Bendigo Bank-backed Bendigo Advertiser-WIN Television Sports Star of the Year award.

More on Oracle: New software license/cloud subscription sales fell 2% Y/Y in FQ3, down sharply from FQ2's +17% and below guidance of +3%-13% (is cloud competition a factor?). Hardware product sales -23%, same as FQ2 and worse than guidance of flat to -10% (plunging UNIX server demand). License update/product support sales +7% (same as FQ2). Cloud software sales (boosted by acquisitions) grew "well over 100%." $2.1B in buybacks propped up EPS. Opex -2% Y/Y. ORCL -6.6% AH. CC at 5PM ET (webcast), guidance should be provided. (PR)

FDX this morning and ORCL in the afternoon. That's 2 bell weather stocks that have reported weaker than expected earnings and subsequent big drops in stock prices. On the surface, this is not a good sign to next earnings season, and earnings and economic fundamentals (not "fears" and "worries") will be the reason for the market to go down.
