Ming the Merciless is a character who first appeared in the Flash Gordon comic strip in 1934. He has since been the main villain of the strip and its related movie serials, television series and film adaptation. Ming is a ruthless tyrant who rules the planet Mongo.
Comic strip[edit]
In the comic strip, when the heroic Flash Gordon and his friends land on the planet Mongo, they find it ruled by an evil Emperor, a despot who quickly becomes their enemy.[1] He is not named at first, only being known as "the Emperor" until several issues later when his name is revealed to be Ming.
The capital of his empire is named "Mingo City" in his honour. In addition to his army, Ming has access to a wide variety of science fiction gadgets, ranging from rocket ships to death rays to robots. Though evil, he has his weaknesses, which include a desire to marry Flash's beautiful companion, Dale Arden. Ming's daughter Princess Aura is as evil as he is when the series begins, but is eventually reformed by her love for Flash, and later for Prince Barin of Arboria.
Flash Gordon (serials)[edit]
In the Flash Gordon serials of the late 1930s-era, Ming was portrayed by actor Charles B. Middleton. In the first serial, he is apparently killed in a crematorium, in a possible suicide. He returns later in league with a Martian Queen, and using a Nitron Lamp to cause disasters on Earth. In Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, he is once again ruler of Mongo, but is killed when he is locked inside his tower and Flash crashes a ship into it.
The New Adventures of Flash Gordon (1979)[edit]
In this 1979 animated version of Flash Gordon, Ming's voice was provided by Alan Oppenheimer, who would later go on to voice Skeletor. In this version, Ming's Panoply is vividly displayed in the form of his vast fleet of battleships, drone rockets, armored trains, and his army of robots. He also employs Mongo's race of Lizard-Women as his enforcers in the mines of Mongo, as well as guards in his harem, and the primitive Beast-Men of Mongo not only serve him, but revere him as a god.
Flash Gordon film (1980)[edit]
In the 1980 theatrical film, Ming (Max von Sydow), complaining of boredom, discovers Earth, and unleashes various attacks on the planet. The film gives Ming a second-in-command, General Klytus, who is masked at all times, and has an attraction towards Ming's daughter, Princess Aura. As in most versions, Ming is infatuated with Dale, whom he plans to marry. Ming's cruelty extends to his own daughter: in an effort to find Flash, he allows Klytus to continue torturing her, since she knows of his whereabouts. When Klytus is killed in the Hawkman city, he orders it to be destroyed. He offers Flash a chance to join him, rule a kingdom, and save Earth. Flash declines when he finds the kingdom will be the devastated Earth, causing Ming to leave him there, but he escapes on a rocket cycle.
At the climax of the film, Ming is impaled by his own war rocket, Ajax, of which Flash had taken control. After a vain attempt to stop Flash attacking him, he ultimately points his ring at himself and he vanishes. However, just before the credits begin, his ring is retrieved by an unknown individual, and the words "The End?" appear, as his evil laughter plays in the background, hinting he is not dead.
Queen's soundtrack album includes "Ming's Theme".
Defenders of the Earth animated series (1986–1987)[edit]
Ming served as the principal adversary in the 1980s Marvel animated series Defenders of the Earth, fighting against other King Features characters such as The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, Lothar, and of course Flash Gordon. In the opening episode, Ming successfully captures Dale Arden Gordon and her son Rick, and tears Dale's mind from her body, prompting a vengeful Flash to pursue him back to Earth to avenge her and prevent Ming from enslaving his world. Ming's base on Earth is in the depths of The Arctic and is called Ice Station Earth; his allies in this series are Garax, leader of the "Men of Frost", Ming's army of Ice Men, and Octon, a large tentacled battle computer.
This version of Ming also includes a son rather than a daughter at his side, Prince Kro-Tan; unlike Aura, he holds no love for any of the Defenders and considers both them and his father hindrances to his enslavement of the galaxy. Kro-Tan comes the closest to defeating his father in a five-part story where he successfully entraps Ming and takes over his forces, before Ming is released by the Defenders and takes his vengeance. Ming has two carrier spacecraft in this series, one of which is his "Throne Room", his main vessel, which could launch itself from the Arctic Ocean. Ming is also portrayed as having green skin and pointed ears.
Flash Gordon animated series (1996)[edit]
In the 1996 animated series, Ming looks even more reptilian: he is a green, pointy-eared, sharp-toothed scaly alien, which cause the heroes to call him a "lizard". (Meanwhile, Aura has green skin, but is otherwise perfectly human.) In this version, Ming is more humane and even comical at times.
Flash Gordon television series (2007–2008)[edit]
In the 2007 Sci Fi Channel television series, Ming is portrayed by John Ralston as a clean shaven blond caucasian, presumably to distance the series from the significant aspect of racism inherent in earlier versions of the character. Executive producer David Hume has said that this interpretation of the character is modeled after Saddam Hussein.[2]
This version of Ming the Merciless is a media-savvy tyrant, who controls the planet through his monopoly on the production of clean water. He uses this control to extort wealth and obedience from the populace. He dresses in a quasi-military garb and seems to have some sort of militaristic position in addition to his role as a Water Baron and emperor.
Although as evil as ever, Ming is known as and addressed as "Benevolent Father". However, his people call him Ming the Merciless, because of his harsh and often brutal leadership. Ming was also known as Ming the Merciless during his military career and rise to power. He justifies everything he does as maintaining order and preventing a return to the chaos that occurred before he took power.
Ming is known to keep a large harem of willing and unwilling women that serve his needs. Princess Aura has said he treats them very well, but it is implied that she is biased. Those who attempt to escape his harem are sold as sex slaves to others as punishment.
Ming often expresses disappointment in Aura, such as when she shows interest in a person he views as beneath her station or when she refrains from seizing power after his apparent death. He has also used her as a political tool, such as when he arranges for her to marry Barin of the Verdan in an attempt to create an alliance and further his own power.
He has his scientist, Rankol, keep Flash's father hostage and stole the Imex (an alien computing device found in an Incan temple in Nazca, Peru, it had been discovered that it's a molecular computer, containing a schematic for the genetic code of the universe) to perfect his Rift Generator and steal water from the Earth, as his own supply is running out.
It has recently been revealed that Ming has a son named Terek, whom he had ordered to be killed at birth for being a Deviate. He also banished his wife (Aura's mother). When it becomes apparent that his son is alive and attempting to overthrow him, Ming captures Aura's mother and poisons her with Grey Water to make her a Deviate as well. Since Aura knows her mother's bloodline is pure, it has been revealed that Ming is the source of Terek's deviation.
When Flash Gordon releases Ming's stolen water, Ming has it poisoned and places the blame upon Terek. It is later revealed to his people that Ming had poisoned the water. This begins the spark of revolution against him. It is prophesied by monks that Ming will fall. Terek gathers an army of the various races of Mongo to battle Ming while his forces are weakened because of a war in the north.
Ming forms an alliance with Azura and her warriors in exchange for making her his queen, her army would battle against the rebels. She gives him an amulet. Ming is captured after a battle with Flash Gordon and Aura. Terek orders his execution. When Aura coldly tells her father 'good-bye', Ming finally admits he is proud of his daughter. Ming is placed inside a gas chamber. As the chamber filled with gas, Ming vanishes, having been teleported to safety by Azura's amulet.
Yellow peril[edit]
Ming has often been connected to the Yellow Peril imagery of the era, in which tyrannous East Asian villains such as Fu Manchu were common.[3][4] His East Asian appearance, his name, referencing the Ming dynasty of China, and the name of his planet Mongo, "a contraction of Mongol",[5] contribute to his oriental identity. Jonathan C. Friedman say that Ming and Fu Manchu were "the incarnations of the yellow peril in the Oriental crusade to conquer the world".[4] Peter Feng calls him a "futuristic Yellow Peril", quoting a reviewer who referred to him as a "slanty eyed, shiny domed, pointy nailed, arching eyebrowed, exotically dressed Oriental".[6] According to Jim Harmon and Donald Glut, while Ming is modeled on Fu Manchu in the first Gordon serial, his appearance copies imagery of the devil in the second serial, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.[7]
In popular culture[edit]
Many parodies of Ming the Merciless have appeared in popular culture, including:
- "Mung the Mirthless" in Wally Wood's comic strip Sally Forth
- "Wang the Perverted" in the pornographic film Flesh Gordon
- "Gorzo the Mighty", a columnist for The Onion[8]
- "Ding the Merciless", an opponent of Trash Gordon in one segment on Sesame Street
- "Supreme Overlord Maximus IQ", the main villain on the animated series Atomic Betty
Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies was nicknamed Ming the Merciless in part due to his preference for the traditional Scottish pronunciation of his surname. Scottish politician Menzies Campbell[9] /ˈmɪŋɪs/ is sometimes nicknamed (with significant irony) "Ming the Merciless". Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, the Irish politician and cannabis legalisation campaigner, takes his name from his resemblance to the fictional Ming the Merciless.
In the Father Ted episode "Are You Right There Father Ted?", Ming is in one of Ted's slides to show he's not Anti-Chinese as a joke because Ming is often criticised as a negative Chinese stereotype.
George Lucas has cited Ming the Merciless as a basis for Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader from the Star Wars series.[10]
Gene Wolfe's 1976 short story about the aftermath of a psychological experiment is called "When I Was Ming the Merciless".[11][12]
In 2007, Ming the Merciless was ranked number 2 on the Forbes Fictional 15.[13]

Norway, the world's third-largest natural gas exporter after Russia and Qatar, supplied 21% of total European gas needs in 2013, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration.
EIA estimates that Norway produced 3.97 tcf of dry gas in 2013, a decline of 0.18 tcf from 2012. As a result of its modest domestic demand, Norway's net exports for 2013 were 3.8 tcf of gas, representing 96% of its production.
"Norway's natural gas reaches the Continent mainly via its extensive export pipeline infrastructure, while a small fraction is exported as LNG by tanker. The largest recipients of Norway's natural gas exports in 2013 were the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium," EIA said.
Norway's single largest gas field, Troll, produced 1 tcf in 2013, according to estimates from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, which accounted for 27% of Norway's total gas production that year. Three other major producing fields in 2013 were Ormen Lange (0.76 tcf), Asgard (0.34 tcf), and Kvitebjorn (0.24 tcf). These four fields produced over 60% of Norway's total dry gas in 2013.

Mike Adamle Cleared Of DUI Charges
Chicago sportscaster Mike Adamle was cleared of driving under the influence after Cook County prosecutors dismissed the charges Friday.
The 61-year-old was stopped in January by Evanston police after he committed a traffic violation and exhibited erratic behavior, according to authorities. Adamle's blood-alcohol level was only 0.04, half the legal limit.
"I'm extremely grateful I'm done here," Adamle told the Chicago Tribune outside the courtroom. "I couldn't have been more cooperative. I did everything they asked me and then some." Read more

Level 167 is the twelfth level in Pastille Pyramid and the 74th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 32 single and 33 double jelly squares and score at least 80,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.
- The jellies under the icings are single jellies; the rest are double jellies.
- The level has 4 chocolate spawners that make it much harder, along with the sheer amount of jelly and blockers.
- The sixth colour is a liability.
- Do not hesitate to clear the icing. They have only two layers, but with six colours, try to pull out all the stops clearing them all.
- Keep the chocolate at bay and do not let the chocolate distract you when going for the jellies!
- Don't forget to also focus in the middle of the board because you don't want to only concentrate on the sides - failure to do so will result in many uncleared jellies in the middle.

Hibbert marks ten years of service at Everton
Tony Hibbert is adamant Everton will remain a mainstay of his life as he marks a decade as a player at Goodison Park.
In modern football the one-club man is an increasingly rare breed and Hibbert is proud to count himself among their dwindling number.
The 31-year-old right-back is preparing to mark his testimonial season when AEK Athens visit Merseyside next Wednesday and he views the occasion with an uncomplicated honesty so prevalent in his playing style.
"It's just normal," he said when asked about the significance of his lengthy stay. "I've been here since I was 10 or 11, so Everton is just Everton to me.
"It's a big part of my life and it always will be. My family always say 'Everton's first'. Every single day is Everton.
"Coming here and spending every day here is nothing different to me so it's hard to explain and get across how it is for me.
"To be a part of a club for that long, when I sit down and think about it with my family and go through it, it's unbelievable and I can't say any more really.
"To be here playing for that long, 10 years, really is a blessing for me."
Hibbert, the only player remaining at Goodison from David Moyes' first game in charge against Fulham in 2002, holds an inauspicious club record of playing 265 times without scoring.
So what are the chances of him thrilling the Gladys Road End by finally hitting the back of the net next week against AEK?
"Obviously that's the main question everyone's asking me," he said.
"I want us to win first, whatever game it is. Whether it's a friendly, a testimonial or a Premier League game I think Everton should be winning.
"But if it does come, it comes. It's hard to say I'm going to go up and take a penalty because I've never thought about it during games."

Managerial Actions Affecting Firm Value
Save Paper
MBA catalogue 1

Qn. Discuss managerial actions that affect the value of the firm.
Managerial actions range from strategy decisions, to capital structure decisions to decisions on the composition of the managerial team.
? Dividend Policy
The dividends issued by a firm to its shareholders have a signalling effect to the market as they reflect the management's view on the future prospects of their firm. An increase in ordinary dividends by management is a sign of managerial optimism about the future.This has a two fold effect; firstly, by the dividend discounting model of valuing shares, the share values rise and in concert, the firm's value. Secondly, there will be a surge in the market to take up these shares with positive prospects. Market economics indicates their value will increase as demand outstrips supply.
The reverse applies when management decides to cut dividends due to pessimistic views on future performance; an initial drop in share value (and hence company value) via the discounting method, then, would lead to a further market downfall due to supply outstripping demand.
? Closing down of major operations
When a division of the firm that has proven to be a major income contributor is closed down by management, the firm's cashflows are viewed as unsteady and unpredictable. The firm may incur problems in servicing their long term debts and its credit valuation will be downgraded. A fall to 'junk bond' status will be the ultimate blow as share value will fall in tandem with the downgrade as the firm's prospects appear to be bleak.
However, if a firm expands and improves an income generating division, it may indicate a strategy to increase market share and increase cashflows. Credit upgrades will serve to create a 'good feel' and increase share value. This will automatically result in an increased value of the firm.
? Change of capital structure
Management, by deciding to change the capital structure of the firm, say by eliminating debt to become fully equity financed, would erode some of the firm's value.
The MM proposition's relationship with corporate taxes shows that in the real world, capital structure affects the value of the firm.
It follows that:
Firm Value = Market Value of Equity + Interest Tax Shield
A levered firm will have a higher value than an unlevered one.
Hence each firm has to find its optimal capital structure (the optimal debt/equity mix) that maximises firm value.
Movement by the management below or beyond this point will erode firm value.
? Change in managerial composition
This occurs through the departure (voluntary or forced) of a major figurehead, director or manager. For example in the late '90s when Charles Schwab left the brokerage firm he had founded in the '50s, the firm's shares plummeted on the stock exchange. This is because such changes are deemed to be bad for the future of the company especially when the successor doesn't have the business pedigree of the departing incumbent.
On the other side, the entry of Henry Ford's grandson on to the board of the car maker caused the share price of FORD to rise from its previous lows as the market viewed the entry of his reputed business acumen as being positive for the firm.
? Merger and acquisition activity
When the management of a firm decides to acquire or merge with another firm there will be an immediate reaction from the market which will be reflected in share price movement of both firms. This may result in either an increase or decrease of firm value even before the offer is rejected or approved by shareholders of the target company.
For example, when Oracle made a take over bid for PeopleSoft around 2003, Oracle's value plummeted as the market viewed it to be overpaying for the small software maker while Peoplesoft's value rocketed as the price was viewed as a huge premium on its intrinsic value.
In the case of the JPMorgan and Chase Manhattan merger, both share values appreciated as the market viewed the offer to be beneficial to both sides. The new entity-JPMorganChase- had a market value much greater than the sum of the two entities' values.

LONDON – Former Longhorn Michelle Carter qualified for her first Olympic final and recorded a sixth-place finish in the shot put on Monday night at Olympic Stadium. After posting a runner-up finish at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, Carter, who placed 15th in the shot put at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, threw a mark of 19.42m (63-8.75) on her fourth of six attempts for her best distance of the day. In the morning session, the three-time USA Outdoor champion was the only American to advance to the final, qualifying in fourth place with a throw of 18.63m (61-1.50). The Longhorns also had a trio of competitors in the first-round heats of the 200m, including Olympic 400m champion Sanya Richards-Ross. Running in the fourth heat, Richards-Ross posted a time of 22.48 to win the heat and qualify with the top overall time for Tuesday's event semifinal heats. Rising juniors Allison Peter (U.S. Virgin Islands) and Christy Udoh (Nigeria) raced together in the first heat of the day, finishing in fourth and fifth, respectively. Peter, who was competing in her second individual event after running in the opening heats of the 100m dash, posted a time of 23.00 that was good enough for 19th place overall and a semifinal berth. Udoh's 23.19 narrowly kept her out of the 200m semifinals as she finished 25th. Rounding out the day for the Longhorns was Jamaica's Melaine Walker in the 400m hurdles. Walker, the Olympic record-holder in the event, was looking to advance to the final to earn the right to defend her title from Beijing in 2008. Competing in the third semifinal heat, Walker posted a time of 55.74 and placed fourth. However, her time landed her in 12th overall, short of the top-eight finish she needed to earn a spot in the final. Richards-Ross and Allison Peter will be the lone representatives for Texas on Tuesday in the 200m semifinals at 2:25 p.m. Central.

Two-Year Data Show Long-Term Benefits Of Chronic Soliris® Therapy In Patients With AHUS
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXN) today announced the presentation of two-year data that highlight the long-term benefits of chronic Soliris ® (eculizumab) therapy in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), an ultra-rare genetic disease characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), the formation of blood clots in small blood vessels throughout the body. In two pivotal phase 2 studies, which initially enrolled 37 patients, 32 patients entered a long-term extension phase. The data demonstrated that ongoing Soliris treatment for two years was associated with sustained inhibition of complement-mediated TMA, as indicated by a maintained increase in platelet count, and sustained improvement in renal function and TMA event-free status. 1,2 The data were presented today at Kidney Week 2012, the annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) in San Diego. Additionally, data presented in a poster session at ASN support early initiation of Soliris therapy regardless of the presence or absence of genetic mutations in patients with aHUS. 3
aHUS is an ultra-rare, life-threatening, chronic genetic disease that can progressively damage vital organs, leading to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and death. 4 The morbidity and premature mortality in aHUS is caused by chronic uncontrolled activation of the complement system, resulting in TMA. 5,6 Soliris, a first-in-class terminal complement inhibitor, specifically targets uncontrolled complement activation, and is approved for the treatment of patients with aHUS to inhibit complement-mediated TMA.
"These long-term extension studies show that early and chronic treatment with Soliris leads to continued improvement in patient outcomes for up to two years, as demonstrated by continued inhibition of complement-mediated TMA, and improvement in renal function," said Leonard Bell, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "Additional data presented at ASN show that clinicians need not wait for genetic mutation analyses before initiating Soliris therapy, further supporting the rationale for commencing Soliris therapy at the time of clinical diagnosis of aHUS."

Today I'm going to be reviewing a Australian product from Lip Plumping Shop and as the name suggests it's a lip plumping device that helps people acheive fuller and plumper lips. It works by suctioning them for five seconds at a time and needs to be used once or twice a day for optimum results for at least a week. You will have to spend the money to buy the device and the extra time to use it (a few minutes a day) but after that you should have the full lips that you've been craving for, especially if you continue to use the device.
Not everyone wants bigger and plumper lips and some people might already have them but for those of you who don't, this might be a fun alternative. I had a good time toying with the idea of fuller but natural looking lips and it was interesting to see a change in my appearance but Chris didn't want me to use it too much. He usually doesn't like changes with these types of things, like when he didn't want me to get a tattoo, but I still use it off and on after my initial use of three days in a row.
You can probably search for more online reviews from people who completed the full seven days but I'm pretty confident that it works, else I wouldn't have ever stopped using it. Although the company says the results last for 8 to 12 hours there's also some speculation that regular use could accumulate natural fluids making some of your results more permanent. I felt more lasting results after using it three days in a row but they eventually went back to normal.
You shouldn't use this if you're on a blood thinning medication or if you have an unusual skin disorder since it can bruise a person who is not completely healthy but it's safe for just about everyone else.
This device fits me well since I have a normal to semi-wide face but it might not work for narrow or really thin faces since it would be hard to make the mouthpeice airtight. You might want to communicate with the company before buying it if you think this might be an issue.

"We've known for years that the Web allows for unprecedented voyeurism, exhibitionism and inadvertent indiscretion, but we are only beginning to understand the costs of an age in which so much of what we say, and of what others say about us, goes into our permanent — and public — digital files. The fact that the Internet never seems to forget is threatening, at an almost existential level, our ability to control our identities; to preserve the option of reinventing ourselves and starting anew; to overcome our checkered pasts."

HTC Tera
Ilse Jurriën : 2009-12-09 18:15:00
HTC Tera smartphone :
The HTC Tera was leaked; at least that's what we assume. Information about the shape of the HTC roadmap for the first period of 2010 has been leaked. Earlier, similar information about the future HTC mobile phone surfaced, and appeared to be quite accurate after the fact. That's why we will assume that this recent information will be the most accurate info about the future HTC phones for now. The HTC Tera smartphone is similar, in many respects, to the known HTC Touch Pro2, a phone that LetsGoMobile mobile phone reviewer Casper van der Kaaij gave a thorough test run this year. We expect that the HTC Tera mobile phone will be geared towards the active or business user.

With the arrival of a newer version of Windows Mobile, devices equipped with this software have now been renamed genuine Windows Phones. These so-called Windows Phones can be recognized by a Windows button below the screen. This hardware key will be included on all new Windows Phones. The HTC Touch Pro 2 already features this key. The main improvements are found in the design, in improved operation no longer requiring a stylus and the support of flash in the web browser. .• Read the full

HTC Magic review at LetsGoMobile :
The operating system often proves vital to your opinion on the user-friendliness of the phone, and also reveals a lot about its speed and applicability. Until recently, Windows Mobile or Symbian was generally used for the corporate market, but these days, this selection has been expanded by the arrival of the Apple and Google Android operating system. Unfortunately, I was not able to personally test the HTC G1, but my first impression of the Google Android operating system on the HTC Magic is very positive indeed.• Read our full

HTC Smartphone reviews : Touch Diamond 2
Mark Peters : 2009-07-03 12:30:00
HTC Touch Diamond 2 Smartphone review :
The HTC Touch Diamond 2 is the successor to the first Diamond version of HTC. And it suffices to say the name could not have been clearer for a new product! All eyes are focused on the feature upgrade, for both the software and hardware. When it comes to housing and design, the HTC Touch Diamond 2 is a real eye-catcher. Also kind of sophisticated, which ensures it stands out from the crowd. Nowadays, it certainly isn't easy for a mobile phone manufacturer to survive. Sales numbers are dropping, the risk of certain segments becoming full is high, and the market demands innovation at a very high speed. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 happily follows in the footsteps and the success of its predecessor.

The competitive edge.
Get ready for the Chinese downhill with your DAKINE Chase Beanie. The Chase holds down your nappy dreadlocks for aerodynamic superiority over your competitors, and the ribbed-knit acrylic traps flailing ski poles, leaving your attackers defenseless.
Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
DAKINE Chase Beanie
? Share a...
not as floppy as it looks
this beanie is nice and looks good but is not quite as big as I needed it to be. If you are getting this because it says "nappy dreadlocks" in the description know that it is a little small to stuff them all into and barely stretches over them. If your hair does not touch your shoulders then you should have no problem.
Great Beanie
I have a medium size head and it fits great - snug and warming, and its very cool looking.

Fan Strikes Fortune
The recent spate of football fans winning lottery jackpots looks set to continue thanks to a Sunderland FC fan who won £2,703,190 in the Lotto draw last Wednesday 7 March.
Michael Eggleston, who is 61, has been a fan of the Black Cats for as long as he can remember, and this appreciation for Sunderland FC has rubbed off on the rest of his family. So much so that his nine year old granddaughter Amy was recently introduced to the home crowd as the official Sunderland FC mascot. With over £2.7 million in the bank, Michael can now afford to watch his favourite team from the hospitality - something that he has no doubt wanted to do for years!
Michael credits his granddaughter for the luck that won him the National Lottery jackpot last Wednesday. "Amy has certainly been my lucky mascot. I only hope the luck continues for Sunderland," he said.
Michael was at home with his wife Norma when they discovered that they had become multi-millionaires with the numbers they chose inspired based on family birthdays. "2007 was always going to be a special year for us as we are about to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in two weeks," Michael said.
And what are they planning to do with their money? "We are taking a holiday in Egypt, which will be even extra special," Michael said. "This lottery win is such a fantastic bonus for us. I've had a few previous wins but hitting the jackpot has been an unbelievable experience."
As well as visiting the land of the pyramids, Michael intends to treat his children and two grandchildren in some way. "It's very early days at the moment and we are still thinking about what we will do," Michael said. "We will however be able to secure the future for the family and that is the most important thing."
Let's hope that some of Michael's luck rubs off on his beloved Sunderland!

Colony Lender proceeds with foreclosure process
Date: July 28, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Part of the The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort's settlement conference and looming closure is how foreclosure proceedings by Colony Lender LLC will affect the process.
Longboat Key resident David Siegal, one of the partners of Colony Lender LLC, told The Longboat Observer last week that he and his partner, Longboat Key businessman Randy Langley, are working toward a revitalization of the property while simultaneously moving forward foreclosure proceedings on $10 million in bank loans that they purchased from Bank of America in March 2009.
Siegal said he can't allow any more time to go by without pursuing a foreclosure action on the bank loans his company owns.
As loan owner, Colony Lender will have a seat at the settlement conference occurring July 28 in Sarasota.
"We are going to continue our mortgage foreclosure, and no one knows who the owners will be of the guts of the resort, outside of the units themselves, while the resort is foreclosing or how long that process may take," Siegal said. "If one wants a resolution right now, either that person has to give $11 million to Dr. (Murray) Klauber to pay Colony Lender what is owed on the loans or one invites Colony Lender to the conference. I think our collateral is necessary for the resort in this process."
Meanwhile, Colony Lender plans to file a notice in Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court announcing its decision to move forward with a foreclosure.
Klauber, chairman and owner of the Colony, then has the opportunity to admit or deny he owes the money on the loans in court. The court would hold a hearing if the debtor (Klauber) questions the amount of the unpaid balance due.
After interest and legal fees, the total loan amount due could be $12 million.
If Klauber cannot pay the total loan amount, he would lose the collateral he put up, including the Colony recreation property (tennis courts and walking trails), his restaurant, bar and the hotel resort property. He would retain the right to his office/penthouse living quarters and Vagabond beachfront unit.
Once the amount due is set by a judge, an online foreclosure sale will be scheduled in Sarasota County if Klauber doesn't satisfy the debt.
For Klauber to hold onto the property, he would have to make a bid higher than what Siegal and Langley paid for the loans.
At that point, Siegal and Langley can decide whether to sell to the highest bidder or hold onto the property themselves.
If no one bids on the property, Colony Lender could decide to take the title for $100, and Klauber would not owe his debt on the loans.
Currently, Colony Lender is getting ready to set a court hearing to calculate the total loan amount due.
Siegal said he can't gauge a timetable on the length of the foreclosure process.
"But I'm told this foreclosure is not caught up in the glut of foreclosures in Florida because it's a commercial foreclosure and not a residential one," Siegal said.
But he said the foreclosure proceedings could take a couple of months.
"If it's delayed, the number becomes larger than what needs to be paid to resurrect the Colony," Siegal said.

- Once again this reporter has fouled up the truth in this article. As Klauber is personally liable on the Bank of America Mortgage, any personal property that Klauber owns at the Colony, including other fee ownership of real estate is subject to seizure by the lender or his assignee.

Fiji Time: 6:18 AM on Sunday 21 December

THE new threat in the bottled water industry is environmental change, says Fiji Water Marketing director.
Margo Jamieson said bottled water had been under attack from the media and environmentalists since mid-2007. Fiji Water, which started its operations in Fiji in 1996, said its volume was affected as a result of the change and the company had to implement programs.
She said: "We have partnered with Conservation International to become the first carbon negative product in our industry and to save the largest rainforest in Fiji. We are also reducing the amount of packaging in our products and leading the charge to expand recycling programs and incentives."
She made these comments at the Fiji Institute of Accountants Congress held in Sigatoka yesterday.
She said last year Fiji Water exported 13.6 million cases which worth $156.9million in export sales.
An advertisement in the US stated "And in Fiji, a state-of-the-art factory produced more than a million bottles a day while more than half the people in Fiji did not have safe, reliable drinking water."
The ad was part of her presentation yesterday.
Which means it is easier for the typical American in Beverly Hills or Baltimore to get a drink of safe, pure, refreshing Fiji water than it is for most people in Fiji".

Originally published in October, 2006
It has been 200 years since the members of the cross-country Corps of Discovery returned triumphant to St. Louis, Mo., with tales of their three-year exploration of the Northwest United States. Popularly known as the Lewis & Clark Expedition, the intrepid band of soldiers, guides and hunters made the journey to the West Coast and back with the loss of only one life. They gained an immeasurable knowledge of the great West and claimed more territory for our flag than any event since the Declaration of Independence.
Among their greatest contributions to history are their famous journals. On the very first page, in Meriwether Lewis' first entry of what eventually totaled three year's worth of notes, he wrote:
August 30, 1803. "Left Pittsburgh this day at 11'ock … went on shore and being invited on by some of the gentlemen present to try my airgun which I had purchased brought it on shore charged it and fired myself seven times fifty five yards with pretty good success; after which a Mr. Blaze Cenas being unacquainted with the management of the gun suffered her to discharge herself accedentaly the ball passed through the hat of a woman about 40 yards distanc cuting her temple about the fourth of the diameter of the ball; shee fell instantly and the blood gusing from her temple we were all in the greatest consternation supposed she was dead by [but] in a minute she revived to our enespressable satisfaction … ."
We can see from this first entry that an airgun was the center of excitement and controversy from the outset of the expedition. Not much has changed in the past 200 years. At different times over just the past 50 years, no less than four institutions have claimed they hold the original airgun in their collections.
The search for the original airgun from the expedition has lead to some interesting places. The earliest claimant was a ball-reservoir type airgun donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1957. The donor believed he had the original airgun based on what he had read in the journals.
Capt. Lewis. Monday, June 10, 1805." ... Shields renewed the main Spring of my air gun we have been much indebted to the ingenuity of this man on many occasions; without having served any regular apprenticeship to any trade, he makes his own tools principally and works extreemly well in either wood or metal, and in this way has been extreenely servicable to us, as well as being a good hunter and an excellent waterman."
This passage has been the subject of much speculation over the years and yet may be one of two key passages that help identify the original airgun. The donor theorized the mainspring repair was actually a solder job to the copper-ball reservoir on the underside of the gun. In an article published only months earlier, he had originally identified an Isaiah Lukens-marked airgun that is at the Virginia Military Institute Museum, as "The Lewis & Clark air gun." Thus began 50 years of controversy.
Scholars of the expedition have always looked to the journals for clues as to the style and type of guns used on the expedition. The most recent editor of the journals is Dr. Gary E. Moulton. His editions, numbering 13 volumes and more than 1 million words, are considered to be the single most comprehensive account of the expedition.
The 2001 publication of the journals was popularly received by the large community of Lewis & Clark aficionados. Among those writing about the firepower of the expedition was a staff editor of Gun Report, Michael Carrick. Carrick delved into the journals, read all 13 volumes and made copious notes on any mention of the firearms used on the expedition.
Through a conversation with a fellow Lewis & Clark historian, Carrick was introduced to a most extraordinary manuscript, the diary of Thomas Rodney. Rodney was the brother of Delaware's Caesar Rodney, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In September 1803, he went west to assume a judgeship as an appointee of President Thomas Jefferson. On Sept. 8, 1803, Rodney's and Lewis' paths crossed in Wheeling, Va. (current West Virginia was then part of Virginia). And Lewis made note of the meeting in his journals.
Capt. Lewis. Sept. 8, 1803." ... dined with Colo. Rodney."
Fortunately, Rodney was a bit more verbose about the encounter.
Thomas Rodney. Sept. 8, 1803. "Visited Captain Lewess barge. He shewed us his air gun which fired 22 times at one charge. He shewed us the mode of charging her and then loaded with 12 balls which he intended to fire one at a time; but she by some means lost the whole charge of air at the first fire. He charged her again and then she fired twice. He then found the cause and in some measure prevented the airs escaping, and then she fired seven times; but when in perfect order she fires 22 times in a minute. All the balls are put at once into a short side barrel and are then droped into the chamber of the gun one at a time by moving a spring; and when the triger is pulled just so much air escapes out of the air bag which forms the britch of the gun as serves for one ball. It is a curious peice of workmanship not easily discribed and therefore I omit attempting it."
The airgun that Rodney described was unique enough to be instantly recognizable as the type designed by C.G. Girardoni and adopted by the Austrian military in the late 1700s. Girardoni was an inventor and designer who seemed to have a fascination with repeating firearms. He is now best known for his repeating airgun that was adopted by the Austrian army. The description of a Girardoni is unique to airgun mechanisms. The gun had a buttstock that also served as an air reservoir. This small air tank held 800 p.s.i. of air pressure delivered by a rod-piston pump device that took close to 1,500 strokes to reach capacity. On the right side of the rifled barrel was attached a small tubular magazine that held 22 .46-cal. lead balls. Gravity fed them into a sliding breech block held taut by a straight leaf spring. By flicking his thumb and forefinger against the breech and cocking the hammer with his off hand, the shooter could load and fire the 22 shots in under a minute, just as described by Rodney.
Airguns were nothing new in 1800. Some histories date them as early as 1560, but they were complicated and expensive to produce. Until Girardoni, their use in any numbers seemed impractical. It is estimated that the Austrians produced 1,500 airguns for use against Napoleon. Each soldier was equipped with a number of pre-primed air reservoirs and magazine tubes, each with 22 rounds of ammo. A battalion of men armed with such repeating rifles could lay down a devastating field of fire.
For collectors and historians alike, Carrick's discovery was exciting news. The Girardoni system and its links to the Napoleonic Wars—and now the Corps of Discovery—made for fascinating conjecture.
Among those who have spent whole segments of their lives studying the history of the expedition of Lewis & Clark was Stephen Ambrose, a gifted historian and publicist. He had a personal obsession that intrigued him his entire life: the expedition of the Corps of Discovery. That interest culminated in his 1996 book Undaunted Courage.

Very good value. They were purchased to fit in tall bottles; they were perfect for that task. The straw did not fall inside, customers drank comfortably.
Carolina D. Posted on 08/23/2014
These straws are a good value. We rip off the bottom of our straw wrappers and stick them in drinks. The paper is a bit tight and took some getting used to.
Steven G. from cuppa sunshine Posted on 07/01/2014
These straws are great for iced lattes, soft drinks, and frappe type beverages. They rise above a 24 ounce cup with a dome lid full of whipped cream and still have room to spare!
Jenny G. from Artcycle, Inc. Posted on 06/06/2014
We've been looking for large flexible straws for a longer time, so lucky found something similar here, these jumbo straw are working just fine without flexible,
Jing Z. Posted on 05/30/2014
Great straws! They work perfect for the 32oz plastic cups without getting lost in the cup or falling trough the straw hole in the lid.
Julia R. Posted on 11/04/2013

Joseph B. from jeanne's bakeshop Posted on 11/02/2013
These jumbo wrapped straws are a rare find. I've been searching for the larger straws and was so glad I finally found them here online!
Tammy J. Posted on 10/22/2013
We needed a longer straw for the 32 oz cups. these are perfect,there is plenty of straw that does not go to far into the cup.
Lisa R. from Lisa's Lunchbox Posted on 09/19/2013
Great quality straws at a great price. We like these for our 44oz lemon shakeups. Having them wrapped is a necessity since we set the straws out for our customers to pick up after ordering.
Andrea B. from Bailey Enterprises Posted on 09/09/2013
These straws are not too small but not too big, the perfect size straw for our 24 oz cups that we use for iced coffee or milkshakes.
Thomas M. from Murray's Ice Cream Posted on 05/24/2013
great straws. use them with smoothies and milkshakes and have no problems with either drinks. We will be ordering more soon. love the price and quaility.
Tony M. from Jammin' Java Posted on 03/28/2013
Straws are straws, of course, but the Webstaurant price can't be beat. And the red stripe is a nice touch. We'll definitely order them again.
Marolyn J. from Fast Times Posted on 03/26/2013
Simple cheap classic restaurant straws. Do exactly what you need them to do and there is nothing else you can ask for. Good price for the amount.
Brandon M. Posted on 01/26/2013
These are great basic drinking straws that are easy to serve with a cup of water or fancy iced teas! Great price for 500 straws!!!!
Eric K. Posted on 10/06/2012
The longer straws go along better with the 32oz cup. This way the customer is not banging their nose on the top of the cup. Perfect size..
Kathy A. Posted on 08/31/2012
I had hoped that the straws had perhaps a little more girth to them, they are kinda thin and hard to drink thick things like smoothies/milk shakes through them. But for a soft drink or water these are acceptable
Daniel S. Posted on 07/01/2012
Thanks for your review of our item! We are sorry that you've had some difficulty with the straws so we would like to suggest a heavier duty type of straw for thicker drinks. Our spoon straws (Item #485SS8NN) have thicker walls and a scoop, while items 485WG7WH and 485D85AN are also great for the job. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. Thanks!

Great product, Perfect for those 30oz large and larger cups. Our customers loved them. Nothing worse than getting a big drink and a little tiny straw.

Excellent straws, good quality, work great for our needs, we use a 32oz cup and they are the perfect size, thank you Fun Food Concepts find us on facebook

This is a quality straw at a very good price. It is a bit confusing to know the diameter of a "Jumbo" size straw as compared to a "Giant" size straw offered by other vendors. A better description would be nice.

I use these straws for thick drinks, like smoothies. They work perfectly. In addition, the individually wrapped straws keeps them sanitary, until they are used.

These bigger straws are perfect for milkshakes and icees. We do a street fair where all the kids in the neighborhood make their own ice cream and then milkshakes. They were a bit hit!
