Payal Parande
My Angelic 'Mother'
As I put my head on your lap
You caress my hair,
Lost myself in
your gentle touch,
My love for you grows more
Love, the love
I do not desire to share
You are like the sun
Of the morning
Welcoming me with
Your warm embrace
You are like the full moon
By a delightful night
Keeping me Placid,
Glimmering my face
Though, we battle with
Our colloquy swords
Though, we disharmonize
You approach me,
With your
Anchored, adept, affable mind
Implanting morals inside me,
Authentic, Noble and kind
Forever, having
Absent-minded smile
On Your Face
Laughing, making me laugh
Though, my blooper
Fetches the Dilemma
Molding our life tough
You always laugh,
You make me laugh
The truth, You are a mirror
A Clarion, classy mirror
Where I can see through
For me You sacrificed
Fortune, Fascination and fame
Everything but truth
You are only capable of love,
And love is all you See
In your eyes I can see
The real me
You had dreams,
Beautiful dreams indeed
Don't know what they were
Have no clue
You say, only one dream
You should know
The dream which came true
The dream of you
You kept me warm,
Warm in the Winter
You still keep
My heart is warmed inside
You are an open book
As I go ahead, each word
Untouched and Compelling
Though it is not the end,
It would never end
Cause you are
High as the sky
And wide
They say, -
I am a god sent to earth-
HE Gifted me my life-
True so true, -
God gave me birth-
My Angelic mother -,
You gave me birth-

Poet's Notes about The Poem
Well that's a machine language ….how about in human language well, the mother is the women who is by my side in good and bad..the Woman who never stopped believing me and never will and I am so lucky that I am blessed with two mothers first my mom(Aii) and second my sister(Tai) ….i know strange right but believe me I can't ask for more …..they both love me to death as I love them ……they are perfect
I asked some brilliant poets on this site a Question, I asked them to tell me what is the most lovable thing they love about their mother..And as i say how brilliant they are..They are kind too they did not hesitate to share their thoughts with me and giving it some of their precious time….I really want to say thank you so much to all of you. I read your poems and they are 'perfect' everyone is so different from each other and so different way of expressing their feelings in their poems which is just incredible ……even though they have included me have different thoughts about many things but when its comes to our mother we come to only one point ' I love my mother' I guess we all do
Here are some of the brilliant poets who shared their thoughts with me…….
Kasia Fedyk (California United States; Female; 38) : I love that she gives me freedom to choose, I love her beautiful heart and the way she cares about me, listens and understands me even if she does not agree with me. Just for being who she is.

She is the one who taught me to reach my dreams....
Mother's love is divine...
The first word we recited in our life is amma or maa.....
She is the one who always praying for our wellness....
We must care our mothers during her old age like she cared us when we were inside the womb alive without seeing the outside world....
I adore my amma....
[again a brilliant poet.... [his every poem is favorite of mine]
Shouvik Roy (Pune India; Male; 20) : umm..lovable thing...her tendency of waking me up every morning..the way she does it...and the way she has sacrificed for me over these years..
Ralph O'grantson (Accra Ghana; Male; 20) : most adorable thing about my mum and i believe a lot of mums on earth is her endurance no matter how much i make my mum cry she still loves me, she still calls to know where i am when im out late, she still wants to feed me. My mama's love is the most adorable thing about her
Unwritten Soul (Malaysia ;) : (though this poet didn't share thoughts with me on this subject due to some circumstances ….but always helped me to improve my work ….this poet is more like my boosting drink …….thank you so much)
Danny Draper (Sydney - New South Wales Australia; Male; 49) : he is one one of my favorate poet ….he told me to refer two of his poems and I must say they are full of emotions…..they really helped
1) If I am a gentleman by an ethical Life
2) Care taken from her in silent peace.

Sajna Kailas (trivandrum, kerala India; Female; 19) : Let me tell about my mom. OMG, I can write a big book about her. She is awesome. I think almost all mothers are like this.
we r five children. I am the only daughter for my mom. the four others are Boys. two brthrs r elder 4 me and two r younger to me.
the way my mom care us is incredible. her life is dedicated to us. her happiness, sorow, world, joy everything is related to us.
my school, my temple, my church, my teacher, my sister, my friend, my world everything is my mom.
she first Introduced the world to me. she taught me good things. she is not caring of what dress she is wearing, or what food she is take or what about her health but she is very caring of these things when it is upon with me.
without her I cant think a life. She is a life itself. Giving light to our home. some times a hitler when ruling our home. But that is very cute.
my mom the best. the ever beautiful and courageous I ever saw in my Life.
She is my role model and my heroine

In fact if I'm asked to give my opinion about this poem or that about a mother (as I know well both are the same thing) , She is all that you need, that you feel, that keeps you always happy like an evergreen plant and most important thing is that she values you and counts you more than anything.
To conclude the poem is superb getting all the points of a successful poem. (Report) Reply

I wonder how I missed this great work undertaken by a young girl! You have put all the elders to shame! What we failed to accomplish in a life time, you have done presumably within a short time! How much I yearned to express what all I have felt for my mother, but couldn't while she was alive which found a belated expression through my poem The Drop of a Feather! A mother is one who will never desert us, even if the whole world sacks us! She is there in life and beyond to nurture us and smile on the trifles of achievement and sigh over the simplest of our blemishes and aches! Payal.. this has left you so endearing to me! ! Kudos! !

Detailed Planning And Public Participation
Running a successful fitness center within a community recreation facility is no easy feat. It's difficult to know which fitness craze is here to stay and which is on its way out. There are however, six tactics any recreation center can employ to ensure the facility endures the tests of time.
1. Solicit input from the public.
2. Research and create a business plan.
3. Maintain equipment; replace it when necessary and keep it clean.
4. Establish a fee structure.
5. Find a balance in the classes offered.
6. Market the services.
The Tumbleweed Recreation Center (TRC) in Chandler, Ariz., is a dynamic facility that offers a unique blend of fitness and recreational classes. The center opened its doors to the public slightly more than 5 years ago, and has served nearly 2 million people during this time. The 62,000-square-foot facility features a fitness center, locker rooms, indoor track, gymnasium, two racquetball courts, exercise room, dance and art studios, classrooms, lounges, computer lab, child watch, and free Wi-Fi.
1. Solicit input from the public.
Without community feedback and buy-in, it is nearly impossible to be successful. Several years of careful planning and research laid the foundation for what the TRC has become. In the late 1990s, Chandler was growing exponentially, and there was a great need to provide additional services to residents. In the spring of 2000, things began to take shape for what became the TRC, with voter approval of a bond election.
In 2002, the city hired an independent research firm to conduct an extensive phone survey so residents could assist in developing and planning the center and its programming. The information received from these phone calls was invaluable.
2. Research and create a business plan.
By 2006, a staff management team was formed to develop an overall action, or business plan. The team turned to similar facilities in the surrounding communities to understand their processes. Information was gathered on pricing, programming, hours of operation, policies and procedures, financial reports, and promotions. Once a solid foundation of research and understanding was established, the team was able to develop a strategic business plan. One key component of any plan is to set a budget with targeted expenditures and revenues. From the research conducted, a pro-forma plan was developed that projected the expenses and revenues for the first 5 years of the TRC. This approach was particularly important in successfully completing management's goal to offset 50 percent of the direct operating costs by the fourth full year of operation. Due to careful budgeting and planning years before opening, this goal was met during the first year of operation and every year since.
3. Maintain equipment; replace it when necessary and keep it clean.
The TRC implemented a 5-year replacement plan for all cardio machines earlier this year. Instead of asking city council for approval of large sums of money, it has been determined that requesting smaller incremental purchases is the best course of action. Planning by this method allows for fitness equipment to be replaced in phases, so there will always be a handful of machines under manufacturer warranty.
Whenever possible, purchase the extended warranty for high-use machines. Extended warranties will save more than average repair costs during the life of the warranty.
Preventive work will spare the facility staff the headache of broken machines and upset customers. This approach is done quarterly at TRC. Small issues such as lubrication and worn belts can be resolved before they break or shut down the machines unexpectedly. If possible, have a staff member trained on minor maintenance needs; this will ensure issues are addressed in a timely manner.

May 03, 2010
WASHINGTON - Under newly proposed auto-safety legislation being considered by Congress, all new vehicles would need to be equipped with "black boxes" that record performance data and federal safety regulators would be granted the authority to order immediate recalls, reported the Washington Post.
The draft of a bill was released April 29 by one of the House committees investigating Toyota's massive recalls for unintended acceleration in its vehicles. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House commerce committee, and Sen. John D. Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chair of the Senate commerce committee, have said they intend to collaborate on automobile safety legislation this year.
The draft contains a wide array of provisions. Some require new safety features, such as the black boxes - called event data recorders - and brake override systems that allow a driver to stop a car even when the throttle is stuck open.
Other elements of the bill give the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) more power to crack down on automakers that break the rules. The bill would create a "vehicle safety user fee," to be paid by manufacturers on each vehicle. The fee, which begins at $3 per vehicle and increases to $9 after three years, would supplement NHTSA's budget.
The bill also increases the fines that NHTSA can seek from an automaker. The bill does not allow for criminal penalties for automakers that knowingly violate safety laws, however, a sanction that advocates said was necessary to ensure compliance, reported the Post.
Barbara Boxer, a California State Senator, has presented a bill which will ban NHTSA workers from holding jobs with auto producers for at least three years after they quite working with NHTSA. NHTSA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has been held accountable for numerous of the latest recalls, including Toyotas a number of safety flaws. The problem is that Toyota's cars aren't being looked over carefully enough by the engineers with NHTSA because they are understaffed. My question is, why can't the NHTSA engineers work at an auto making firm? Wouldn't a NHTSA worker be a good thing for the auto company, specifically being on the front lines of auto manufacturing? I will investigation this a lot more because obviously I must be missing some details.

Chicago would be turned into a Midwest version of Paris — La Ville Lumiere, the City of Light — under a mayoral plan showcased Wednesday to boost tourism by spotlighting the city's architectural wonders. [...] It will start with an "international design competition" that invites teams of artists, architects, engineers and designers to envision ways to light up Chicago's "buildings, parks, roads and open spaces."

Chapter 1: Prologue
[View Online]
A downpour of rain tends to be a fairly normal incident anywhere in the British Isles at any time of year. Even in the middle of summer, if all other places on Earth are bright and sunny and warm, there is a near-guarantee that every Brit who has been foolish enough to remain at home will be sopping wet.
Pleasant weather does occur from time to time, but it is so rare and random that the natives cherish it as if it is a gift from God himself, and suddenly develop all manner of outdoor habits that, normally, the climate does not permit them to partake in (with the sole exception of rugby, a sport which is not a true sport if the wind isn't howling at the players' legs and the rain lashing at their faces. It is a man's game, after all, and men can be quite particular about such things).
Yet most of the time ideal rugby weather prevails in Britain, and apart from this single sport, Brits can't really find all that many outdoor activities to enjoy unless they wish to participate in them soaked and freezing cold. As such, inhabitants of the British Isles have mastered the art of enjoying themselves indoors, devising a whole range of activities to suit this purpose.
Badminton is one such activity – a tennis which doesn't destroy the decoration, as the fattest king of the English discovered. Cards would presumably be another (for truly, who but the insipidly royalist Brits would place kings and queens on them?). Tiddlywinks is probably one also – again, would any nation other than the Brits really come up with such a ridiculous name? And, finally, there is the most honoured tradition of all: drinking.
I do not refer solely to the consumption of alcohol, though that is indeed a big part of it. No, tea will do a Brit very nicely, as a leftover from their imperialistic ways and a habit it would be a crime to drop. But mostly, yes, it is alcohol. Though the Brits do not really produce much alcohol worth noting, save gin – their beer is most certainly an acquired taste, and the continent tends to do it better anyway – this does not usually stop them. Pubs are a unique invention upon this Earth, and not even the most modern or trendy of bars can really compare to a traditional British pub, a temple to one of the greatest British pastimes.
Ironically, a rainy evening in summer can be something of a mixed blessing for a pub owner. Yes, it chases people away from barbecues and other outdoors (and thus non-British) events, but going to a pub would, in itself, require braving the rain. Those who wish to go out are thus tempted to make use of the car, a device which, in the eyes of a British pub owner, is the creation of Satan himself, as it discourages drinking.
Terry Wilson, owner of the White Stag pub, was actually quite pleased with a spot of rain. The White Stag had the superb situating of being the only pub in the village of Kittering, a fairly small place which using a car to traverse would be the height of stupidity. As such, he had a decent collection of regulars who would abandon their summer barbecues and walk down to the Stag for the night.
Summer was quite good for these things. Despite the rain it was not terribly cold out there, and holidays meant that students – the greatest of drinkers – would be at home and quite inclined to spend the evening down the pub.
Kittering, Terry considered, really was a good place for his business to be. He had run the pub for ten years now, and thus was an accepted part of the local environment. There was a solid supply of regulars who kept his business afloat and made the job quite enjoyable, as it meant he could spend evenings sitting around with his friends and occasionally getting them drinks, and, above all, it wasn't a dodgy area. The pub chain he had lately joined insisted on his taking a few management courses, and despite his initial disdain, Terry had learnt a thing or two from them. He had also discovered from colleagues who ran establishments in less savoury environments that he was beyond lucky in not having to replace a pool cue every week, or deal with broken tables, broken glasses, broken noses on a regular basis. No, Kittering was a good place, with good people.
Well, mostly.
There were a few slightly undesirable inhabitants in the small village. The old woman who lived by herself with her few billion teapots and got called a witch by small children. The new couple who had moved into the area because they deemed it 'quaint' – and although there wasn't really anything too wrong with them, the people of Kittering really objected to their home being called quaint. The man who lived in the house in the next street from the White Stag who spent half of his time away from home and the other half in Kittering having weird things happen to him. And he had a son.
Well, actually, he didn't. There was a considerable amount of discussion as to why someone as eccentric as William Rayner had adopted the equally odd boy Caldwyn Brynmor – or something equally excessively Welsh – and just what had happened to the boy's parents in the first place, but nothing ever came of it beyond wild and entertaining rumours. The general consensus was that Rayner was merely the boy's unsuitable godfather and had thus found himself with the spawn of now-deceased close friends thrust upon him.
Terry supposed that he couldn't complain all that much, however. After all, Rayner spent most of his time away on whatever business he had, and Brynmor went to some boarding school, the both of them returning to Kittering only in the summer. And this summer, Brynmor had brought a bunch of friends with him, all of whom seemed to be quite fond of the White Stag. They were just as weird as Brynmor and Rayner, mind, but they drank enough for Terry to not be all that bothered.
Besides, from what he'd overheard of their earlier conversations, tonight was the last day of holidays and they'd all be leaving for whatever school it was they went to on the morrow. Rayner, too, would presumably flit off for whatever demanded his attention.
They weren't here yet, however. It was only seven o' clock, and none other than the utterly devoted regulars were filtering into the Stag. This was the quiet time, just after the rush of the early dinners and before the even bigger rush of the excessive drinking. Terry tended to enjoy this time – it gave him the opportunity to look everything over, check the glasses, ensure that all the bottles were fully stocked, make a few orders to the bosses for a few more barrels of Guinness, and basically prepare for whatever would strike.
He wiped away at the counter in a suitably landlord-ish way, the way owners of traditional pubs were supposed to, then flicked the towel over his shoulder to survey the pub. Terry was particularly proud of the White Stag. It was one of those old establishments which had been here a century, and although he had done his best to keep it modern and in good nick, he'd also preserved as much of the old charm of the place as was possible – the polished wooden panelling, the old (fake) hunting trophies up for display on the walls, a few relics of the Edwardian period decorating the place… yes, it was a typical British pub. But it was his British pub, and it seemed he was very lucky for it to not be destroyed week after week.
That wasn't to say that the place was always clear. Kittering lay on the route between the two nearest towns, so in the evenings it wasn't uncommon to find groups passing through, and occasionally stopping in the White Stag for a drink or two. When you got the already drunken group of youths deciding they'd have one more round before disappearing off into the night, things could get… a little rowdy. All in all, however, fortunately, the regulars were quite alright.
The door laughed open at last to allow in the young Caldwyn Brynmor and his group of friends, as prompt in their arrival at the pub as ever, seeming to be missing one of their number but no less enthusiastic for it. Instead of taking their usual table in the corner of the pub, the three of them headed over to the bar, pulling up stools jovially and acknowledging the bartender with grins and nods.
"Evening, Mister Brynmor," Terry greeted them a little vaguely as he picked up a pint glass to polish, quite sure he'd be needing to fill it in a few moments. "Glad you could grace us with your presence before flitting off on holiday, wherever you're going. Will your friend be joining you later, or is it just you three again?"
"Doyle went off for one of his walks," one of the boy's friends, a girl of slender build, medium height and mildly disturbingly bright bleached, short, spiky hair, answered casually. "He should be with us in a short while."
"Until then, it is, indeed, us three," said the final member. He was tallest of the three, with irritatingly neat blonde hair at the top of his lofty, wiry frame and the sort of clear blueness in his eyes which had to, pretentiously, come from contact lenses or the like. "Just like old times."
"For half an hour," the shorter, more muscular and solidly built Caldwyn Brynmor grunted, running a hand through his closely-cropped, bristly dark hair. "Which is just as well, as old times were pretty bloody annoying."
"You've got no nostalgia in your soul, Cal," the other boy declared. Terry was a little relieved to realise that he wasn't the only one who found pronouncing the Welshman's name to be something of a challenge. "Surely you can reminisce a little with us? It is a memorable night, after all."
Terry decided that it would probably be best that he intervened before they got too caught up in the conversation. "Drinks, people?" he asked jovially. He did know for a fact that the trio were only seventeen, and they knew he knew, but he… to tell the truth, he didn't dare challenge these odd kids on anything. God knew how they might react. Besides, there were people who could legally drink who made a whole lot more problems than this group.
"I'll have a Guinness," Cal grunted, attempting to dismiss his friend's tirade with a vague wave of the hand.
"Righto, mate. Mister Grey, Miss Cole?" Terry turned to the other two.
Tobias Grey and Tanith Cole – what was it with these people, they all had dodgy-sounding names – glanced at each other before the tall boy gestured vaguely to his companion, inviting her to order first. "Vodka and orange," she said politely, leaning forwards slightly on her stool.
"And a Strongbow," Tobias supplemented, brushing his hair back slightly. He paused, then cast Cal a glance. "Guinness? I thought we were going to have a shot at a top-shelfer tonight?" he added imploringly.
Terry pricked his ears as he set about pouring Cal's pint. A top-shelfer – that was, a drink from every bottle on the top shelf behind the bar – usually offered a fairly fruitful night for a bartender. Of course, it had a tendency to wipe out his patrons, but, well, business was business.
"Wait until Doyle's here," Tanith scolded, hitting Tobias's arm. "We can't start without him. You know how he hates to have to carry us all back home." She shrugged, shaking her head. "I don't have a bloody clue how he manages it, tell the truth."
"Stamina of an ox," Cal murmured as he handed Terry some coins for the pint set before him. "I always told him that would come in handy on the Quid– ah, on the pitch," he stammered, stumbling over whatever he was going to say. Terry ignored him as he set about getting the drinks for the other two.
"Ah yes. Montague's become really rather addled; why do I have a feeling you'll be trying to weasel your way onto the team?" Tobias asked with an amused look. "Sure you're up for it? You haven't played a game in years."
"I'm betting that Montague, in his new and improved state of mind, will set aside all earlier prejudices and kick off one of those two brain-dead goons that currently hold the position that is mine by right," Cal said loftily, waving a hand vaguely. "I can beat either of them on my worst day and their best. And we're going to kick Gryffindor's arse this year."
"What's this?" Terry asked cheerfully, setting the two glasses in front of Tanith and Tobias. "School rugby team?"
For some reason, the three looked vaguely amused as they sipped their drinks. "Something like that, yeah," Tanith agreed, smirking slightly.
"The last two captains haven't been particularly fond of me, even though I can out-play either of them. The current one has recently suffered a slight amount of… mental difficulties following a rather nasty prank, and if all goes well, I'll be back on the house team." Cal winked at his two companions. "That'll show the ponces."
Terry blinked, then shrugged and picked up another glass, polishing it expertly. The three obviously went to some fancy boarding school, and as a product of the local comprehensive, the bartender wasn't quite sure that Cal could honestly use the term 'ponces' without achieving the height of hypocrisy. He had never been one for rugby himself, and the whole 'house system' of schools struck him as another one of those protocols of snobbish establishments. He decided maybe it would be best if he didn't interfere in their conversation any more.
"But that's what I mean," Cal was saying as Terry, out of habit and curiosity, tuned in vaguely. "It's not about the past anymore. It's about looking forward. Big changes are coming, not to mention nasty times. We've got to all… focus on the future." Again, he gave a vague gesture which seemed to be the hand equivalent of a 'y'know'.
"Normally, you know I'd agree with you," Tobias said dryly. "But this year it's a little different. Just think, tomorrow will be the last time we depart on the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross. Doesn't that scare you at all?"
Cal seemed to consider this for a few moments. "A little," he conceded at last.
"Still… whatever happens in the future, we've had a great six years. And I'm sure the time ahead of us promises to just be more entertaining. Besides, there's one year left." Tanith threw her arms over each of their shoulders in a companionable way, smirking. "And there are no two nutters I'd have rather spent my time with."
"Hey, Tanith, don't I get your love?" a fourth voice interrupted. "After all, aren't I the greater magnet for trouble in the first place? And didn't I introduce you to these two madmen? If it weren't for me, they'd be sitting on their own in here, without our dazzling company, drinking themselves into stupors."
"I don't see anything wrong with that, Gabe," Cal told the new arrival chirpily, raising his glass to him slightly.
Terry appeared hurriedly at the sight of another potential customer. Gabriel Doyle was the final member of the group of students who spent their holiday at Will Rayner's house, and, to be fair, he didn't look it. He looked older, with his dark hair in a longish style which was infinitely different to Tobias's obsessively neat hair, or Cal's short bristly crop, or Tanith's boyish cut. Like Tobias, he had odd eyes, but they didn't seem to be pretentiously from contact lenses – they were just naturally very, very disconcertingly dark.
Although Gabriel was obviously friends with the other three, the amount of time he spent alone doing whatever it was he did, and the way his companions easily accepted this without question or even comment, spoke of an interesting distance. Terry, having been a bartender for many years, was skilled enough at reading people to know that much at least.
"The usual, Mister Doyle?" he asked quickly, pointing to the bottle of Jack Daniel's. Gabriel, more than the other three, gave him the creeps. It was probably the eyes. He couldn't put his finger on what about the others made him edgy, but for Gabriel, a whole lot of it was in those dark orbs.
"Why not." Gabriel said, clapping Cal on the shoulder as he nodded towards their normal table in the corner. "It's time to celebrate. Someone's got to be able to cope with these three delinquents, but it just won't have to be me. I'll just have your whiskey, but with that fizzy drink… erm, a…" His voice trailed off, and his eyes met Cal's for a moment. The Welshman nodded encouragingly. "Coke?"
Terry frowned slightly, but didn't comment. "Right you are."
Tobias looked a little crestfallen. "I thought we were all going to do a top-shelfer tonight," he reminded Gabriel almost sulkily.
Gabriel laughed. "For the uptight sod that you are, you're certainly fond of your alcohol. Give me half a chance to catch my breath; I'm shattered after meandering around these bloody hills constantly."
Tobias and Tanith exchanged glances. "I guess we're going to have to wait a few minutes, then," the girl declared, putting her glass down, giving him a wry look.
"You were able to start when I wasn't here a few minutes ago," Gabriel pointed out, nodding again towards the table in the corner. "Come on, let's got sit somewhere I won't need to get out a telescope to talk to Tanith."
Terry watched them go with mixed feelings, picking up the dirty glass one of his other regulars had just finished off and refilling it wordlessly, easily anticipating the man's request. He couldn't say why, but he was really quite glad that those four had moved away from the bar. Truth be told, it took only the most determined of his customers to go up to order drinks when they sat there. And when he chatted to them about it, none of them could quite explain why.

Hubbardton Forge - The Modern American Blacksmiths.
Hubbardton Forge, American manufacturer of hand forged iron lighting fixtures, first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. The Vermont based company scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade in order to revive the nearly forgotten craft of hand-forging raw metal into functional art. Today, they have established themselves as a company whose products are recognizable for their quality, timelessness, and functionality.
Hubbardton Forge's designs are classic, elegant, and original. Form and function are inseparable in every piece. From heavier gauge metals, custom turnings and superior internal components, to environmentally sound powder coated finishes, Hubbardton Forge strives to create structural integrity ... products that will endure.
All Hubbardton Forge products include a lifetime warranty. See details.

Chasing Shadows is a variation that makes Dark Shadows even more fun! Compared to other two-move 5.10s in Red Rocks, like Black Orpheus, Chasing Shadows probably clocks in more like 5.10- instead of 5.8+ (as listed in Handren's guide).
Linking pitches 1 & 2 is easy and logical. Make sure to use shoulder slings on the bolts protecting pitch 4. If you're climbing to the top of Mescalito (worth it!), a great gear belay ledge exists down about 20' down and immediately right of the normal 2-bolt anchor.
Gear: 1 set of stoppers #11-4, Single set of cams up to #4, double set 0.5-1. 8 shoulder slings, 4 quickdraws.

7. KeyCorp
Shares of KeyCorp of Cleveland closed at $8.81 Friday, returning 16% year-to-date, following a 12% decline last year.
The shares trade just below tangible book value, and for 10.2 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of 86 cents. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is 85 cents.
Based on a quarterly payout of five cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.27%.
For the 12-month period ended June 30, the company's ROA was 1.06%, while its ROE was 8.46%.The consensus among analysts is for KeyCorp to report third-quarter earnings of 21 cents a share, down from 24 cents the previous quarter, and 22 cents a year earlier. KeyCorp is well-positioned in the wake of the Federal Reserve's latest move to push long-term rates even lower, as the company has already felt the bulk of its pain from asset repricing. The company's second-quarter net interest margin narrowed to 3.06%, from 3.16% the previous quarter, and 3.19% a year earlier. Credit Suisse analyst Craig Siegenthaler has a neutral rating on KeyCorp, with a $9 price target, saying last month that "We look for 3Q12 and 4Q12 EPS to beat market expectations, and believe investors will increase EPS estimates for 2013/2014" before the end of the year. Siegenthaler expects KeyCorp's core net interest margin (NIM) "to experience the largest improvement in the industry given (1) significant debt retirement and refi activity since June, (2) significant CD repricing in 3Q12," and the acquisition of $725 million in Key-branded credit card assets from Elan Financial Services, taking on about 400,000 consumer and business accounts.

Please retrain the manager of Aldi
Posted by
Un satisfied customer. I shop there once every week. I like to buy a lot of groceries in bulks most of time for my business. this is like the 4th time. the store needs to keep their stocks on hand according to my purchases and other customers purchases. Every business needs happy satisfied Customers. Unfortunately, this Brand NEW store is not setting their STANDARDS. Please re-train the Manager. When the mgr. came by the cashier not to sale to me all my purchases. She did not even apologize. She just said the products needed to be evenly sold to other customers according to HER ORDERS for the store. the mgr. face was not smiling but the cashier was smiling and happy faced.
Is the Store mgr. the CEO, FOUNDER, OR THE OWNER?
If not, she needs to be FIRED. Retrained. or DEMOTED. OR SOMETHING ELSE.
ON Friday 9.30.2011, I purchased Bananas by the cases. I had only 2 cs. Previous shopping times. She Saw me and Said it was OK. TODAY, SHE SOLD only 1 case.
BUT READ THIS CAREFULLY. The POSTED PRICE OF BANANAS I saw at 0.30 cents per lb. THEN at the check out she Ran there to the Cashier and said something to her. My Receipt showed 0.44 cents per lb. I then walked back to check on the POSTED price "the manager (SHE)" HAD ALREADY CHANGED TO 0.44 CENTS IN JUST FEW MINUTES.
I hope your store have CAMERA TO CHECK ON HER. PLEASE DO SO.
I also purchase Avocados. I always bought 40 pieces or More. But TODAY she took back 30 pieces .
she had just pushed a CUSTOMER AWAY. SO SHAMEFULL ON HER.

If you are going to be making bulk purchases for your business you could see if they can ordered the amount you need each week. I can see their concern if you come in and clean off their shelves. Other customers that come in to get their groceries will stop shopping there and then if you stop, they will be out of business. They are just trying to keep the majority of the customers happy.
trmn8r on 10/02/2011:
It sounds like you have larger volume need than the average customer of this discount supermarket chain. To have happy satisfied customers, they need to have stock on hand. It is very hard to plan inventory to account for a few customers who may or may not come along and buy 20 times the amount of a typical customer. I sympathize with the manager in this regard.
Nohandle on 10/02/2011:
I'm unfamiliar with the Aldi grocery chain. Are they wholesale grocers catering to restaurants and the like? If they are a regular grocery store perhaps next time you will see a sign *We reserve the right to limit quantities* or something akin to that. If you want them to have 2 cases of bananas and 40 avocados reserved for you on a particular day each week they might order extra just for you. I, however, don't understand the price change on the bananas if it was an advertised special and still good that day.
raven2010 on 10/02/2011:
Nohandle, Aldi is for extreme budgeters---you even have to put a quarter in a slot to get a cart (you get it back if you turn the cart in correctly)
Sometimes you can get name brand items, but most things are off, off, off label---still good though---and the produce prices are amazing
I LOVE my local Aldi---they do have a sign up in that indicates they reserve the right to limit quantities.
PaulaJ on 10/02/2011:
If you are going to buy in bulk at least call the store ahead of time to let them know you are coming. Are you a restaurant owner? If so, you should probably call a supply store instead, which you would probably have been better off doing in the first place.
Nohandle on 10/03/2011:
Thanks Raven. I had never heard of the chain. We have some wholesale grocers in our area and they only sell to businesses. A regular grocery chain, discount or not, might prefer not to be completely depleted of a particular item because of one individual. It makes for a lot of *sore* shoppers later who have to go to several stores just to complete their grocery list.
Starlord on 10/03/2011:
I went to an Aldi with relatives when I was visiting in Richmond, IN. As far as I could tell, it was just another grocery store. When we had our hot dog stand, we dealt with wholesale suppliers for most of our supplies. Here in Washington, we have Cash'N'Carry, which is basically a restaurant supply house that also sells to the general public. Great for large families, too.
PepperElf on 10/04/2011:
Sounds like the manager is trained just fine.
Telling you "no" isn't bad training. It just means you can't buy up EVERYTHING as if you're the only customer around.
And if you need that much, have you considered joining a warehouse store, or ordering it directly? You may even get cheaper prices that way vs using a small store like Aldi.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Prosecutors have charged a fugitive with the kidnapping of a 10-year-old Los Angeles girl and numerous counts of sexual assault.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office revealed the charges against 32-year-old Tobias Summers after earlier announcing charges against co-defendant Daniel Martinez, who is in custody.
Summers is charged with kidnapping a minor under age 14 and nearly three dozen counts of sexual assault. If captured and convicted, he faces multiple life terms in prison.
Martinez is accused of waiting outside in a car when Summers emerged from the house with the girl, and driving a short distance away.
