This is the third Olympus I have owned. By far this list the best. Photo quality is amazing as well as the speed. The "art" setting is also a nice touch. No complaints at all.

Great little camera for daily shooting and it is especially good for travel. But check your WiFi function when you get it. One of mine has dead wifi as does that of a friend who has 2 days of use on his.

The clock was ticking on my DSLR set up and I was ready to dive head first into the micro 4/3's pool. After reading many reviews I decided that the E-M10 was the way to go.I traded in my Nikon D7100 and Nikon lenses and have begun to build my new micro 4/3's set up. Combining parts of the E-M1 and E-M5 along with some new features I felt that the conclusion would be perfect. I am so pleased with Olympus on this one, it may fall 3rd in line on the OM-D scale of cameras but it really takes a backseat to no one. The image quality is fantastic and size and weight distribution is wonderful. In my opinion the entire OM-D line of cameras are fantastic just pick the one that suits your needs and you won't go wrong. Currently using the 14-42mm kit lens ( not your average kit lens ) and the results are spectacular, can't wait to add some of those very fast primes to my collection.

I wanted to consolidate from 2 cameras (DSLR for general use and a quality point-and-shoot for street photography) down to 1. I'm an amateur, and today's cameras are sufficiently complex that I really only want to learn one cold rather than 2. But weight, flexibility, raw, and easy to use full manual operation are musts for me.
The E-M10 fit the bill and is available at an attractive price. I read many VERY positive reviews which convinced me that technology was now so good that the 4/3 sensor size isn't a problem. I've only had it for 2 weeks, and initial results are excellent.
One minor caveat for raw shooters. My post processing software is several years old and doesn't handle the Olympus raw file format. I get around that by using the Olympus Viewer 3 software packaged with the camera to convert raw to lossless tiff-xif format and import that. Works fine for me, but if you need the fastest workflow, make sure your post processing software handles the Olympus raw format.

Got tired of schlepping my E500 & 300 zoom. The EM10 is so small & lightweight, it's easy to take with anywhere.
What I'm disappointed in is:
- No lens hood included for 14-42 II R or the 75>300 zoom
- No printed full manual included - the little manual included is useless - it's merely an excerpt & even refers to pages that aren't there. OM1, OM2, E500 - all came with lens hoods and printed full manuals. Even the XA came with a manual.
Now I have to go online & buy these items - very annoying & easily another $50+ for items that cost pennies to manufacture.

Since buying this camera, I have used it with the 14-42mm EZ zoom and the 45mm F/1.8. It has been used in a variety of conditions for different types of photography and has met or exceeded my expectations. It is especially nice to have a decent built-in flash that allows me to shoot pet portraits across the room. The dual control dials are also a big plus. The camera is obviously built with quality and takes great pictures. I have ordered the add-on grip because I have large hands.

I have owned OM system 35mm cameras and an assortment of Zuiko lenses since 1977, so it was perhaps inevitable that I would look to the characteristics that so endear me to them--compact size, ergonomics, durability, and unparalleled quality--when entering digital photography. My initial foray with Olympus digital cameras proved hugely disappointing when the E-PL-1 I bought in 2011 died from internal corrosion after just three years. I am counting on my new E-M10 to reinstill my faith in Olympus cameras.
It is still too early for me to comment on all of the features of the E-M10, but my initial impressions are very positive. Image quality is exceptional, viewfinder and screen are clear and bright, and output in micro 4/3 is more than adequate for my needs. It has the same heft and feel of my beloved OM-1n. Controls are well placed and intuitively located. Features may be accessed in multiple ways, allowing the user to choose whatever method works best for him or her.
In short, it certainly looks and feels the part; only time will tell whether it can live up to the vaunted reputation that the OM 35mm system earned for durability.
One minor quibble: this camera should have a paper manual delivered with it. Yes, the PDF is comprehensive, but it's far easier to read a bound paper copy with the camera in hand than to attempt to do so on screen.
I am counting on this camera to make up for the design and build failures of the E-PL-1 it is replacing. If it is anywhere near as reliable as my 37-year-old OM-1n bodies and Zuiko lenses have been, I will be a very happy man.

I have had the camera for about three weeks now and used it almost every day outdoor and indoor with consistently excellent results. While my brain has no doubt, my gut is still trying to come to terms with how capable and fun to use this little thing is. The E-M10 has a reassuring, solid feel and fits nicely in my average size male hands. I never hit controls by mistake which is surprising given its diminutive size. Even if not top of the line, the EVF is highly usable. I am used to the glory of large SLR prism finders but having all the main camera settings visible in the EVF is VERY convenient. I seldom compose with the LCD but the E-M10's is bright and sharp and its tilting capability comes very handy when my eye can't get to the EVF. The complexity of the menu system is real but it's due to the amazing amount of customization offered by the camera. I read the manual, identified all the controls (fixed and programmable), and set things up just right for my kind of shooting. Now I can change all the important settings without moving my eye away from the EVF. Focusing is quick and overall camera responsiveness is great. Negatives are all minor: flimsy battery/card door, I/O rubber cover, and still missing AC adapter.
In conclusion, the E-M10 is a great little camera with a vast choice of excellent lenses that competently helps me turn my vision into exhibition-quality, poster-size prints within a wide range of ISO values. I just ordered a second body and am selling my APS-C system to purchase a number of Olympus pro quality lenses. If portability, IQ and customization are your priorities, there is little else out there that can match the E-M10.

I bought this as a second body to my Olympus E-M1 and have had so much fun playing with this camera. It's small, fast, and most importantly powerful! When I pull this camera out people are always curious about it and then when they see the images blown away by the quality. Would highly recommend this camera as your first step into photography, second body, or even your main body - you won't be disappointed.
August 31, 2014
Honestly a wonderful camera from P&S to all Manual Capabilities! I was very impressed with the improvements over my older PEN E-PL2. Much better picture & video quality, as good as and even better than the larger DSLR. Low light "Big" improvement too. For the price and features, you will absolutely love it!. I checked stores and online reviews for a few months, I wish I didn't wait so long. Still playing around with the features, my family has been very impressed with the overall quality. I wish they kept the thumb dial like the PEN, but the Wi-Fi, touch screen, & EVF make up for it.
August 12, 2014
Camera is very easy to use. The buttons are a little small for these fat fingers. I took the camera to the San Diego Zoo. It performed very well. The auto focus was fast, and accurate for the most part. Occasionally, it would focus on the wrong thing i.e. the fence separating the viewer from the animal. I shot a short video of the Secretary Bird (uploaded to YouTube) and the auto-focus kept the bird in focus as it moved around the enclosure.

I bought this as an "upgrade" / replacement for my E-620. I did a little research on it (read the full review at www.dpreview.com). There are not any Olympus Dealers near me, but given how much I enjoyed my E-620, I didn't have any doubts or misgivings about buying "sight unseen" and direct from Olympus. I decided to save a little money and purchased a refurbished model; aside from the packing (clearly marked "refurbished"), you'd never know that this camera was previously used.
I've been using it for over a month and I'm quite impressed with
1) the quality of the images,
2) the speed of the autofocus,
3) the Wi-Fi connectivity/functionality,
4) how powerful it really is for such a small/light package,
5) the 8fps really blows my mind,
6) the amount of options available for bracketing.
I could go on and on but I'll just say "buy one; you won't be disappointed". This little camera is definitely on the cutting edge of technological innovation, but then again, Olympus has always been 3-4 years ahead of the "competition" when it come to new tech. I also purchased the M.Zuiko ED 14-150 lens at the same time; I'll review it as well (I love it, too.)
July 12, 2014
I purchased the Silver version. What I love about this camera are:
- It looks stunning. Looks retro yet handles well.
- Build quality is excellent. Usage of metal gives this camera class and personality.
- When I use it with my 14mm f2.5 lens, it is so small and portable.
- I purchased the kit + an M.75-300mm II lens. This setup results in excellent reach.
- The twin dials and the GUI makes usage of camera in field easy.
- The kit lens produces excellent images wide open at all apertures.
- Get either the M.40-150mm R or M.75-300mm II lens and you have a setup covering most situations. And it won't break your back as the setup is still pretty light.
- Later perhaps consider adding a prime such as a 14mm lens as it will make a good street or general photography in a really compact package.
Some tips I would recommend:
- Although this camera has 3 axis, when using with the 75-300mm II lens, at the 300mm end, I found I get more keepers using either a tripod.
- When using with the 75-300mm II, at the 300mm end, in not so ideal condition which we will likely see when doing birding, it is better to use Single AF as otherwise sometimes the camera will stay out of focus and won't AF. Moving to Single Shot AF took care of this issue.
- Carry a spare battery as you don't want to stop enjoying your photo shoot.
What can I say, for the money, this camera is a steal. It is a beautiful product producing beautiful pictures.

Like the previous reviewer I'm coming from the DSLR world and I was fed up with carrying heavy gear all the time. I pretty much concur with all his statements.
My mirrorless search took me to the OM-D's and the Fuji X cameras. I bought both and tested them out at home. The best way to put it is: OM-D E-M10 is a Ferrari and the the Fuji XE2 I bought is an SUV. Fuji's are awesome cameras with incredible IQ, but opted for the Olympus as it was smaller, felt really solid and the IQ was incredible for the size. It just handles so well. It made photography fun again. And it is super customizable.
I've only had it for 2 weeks and I can say that the IQ is DSLR standards (if not better). With the 17/1.8 prime the camera is very small and discrete. You don't feel like a tourist walking around. And plus with such fast primes you can shoot easily at ISO 200 even indoors with decent light thanks to the great in camera image stabilizer.
The menu is actually very simple to me. The only thing that I'm yet to figure out (and it will probably just require watching a youtube vide for a few minutes) is how to set up the MySets options. But other than that if you know about photography and cameras, and how to use all the options of a camera the menu is a breeze. Having said that, for a true beginner it may be a little complicated; but not because the menu is any harder than other camera manufacturers...it will be "complicated" because if you don't know what all the functions are, you would have no clue how to set it up. But you can always just shoot in fully auto mode and you'll still get amazing pics.
Get the camera and go shoot! It will make photography fun again and it won't hurt your back.
May 07, 2014
Coming from a DSLR I really didn't know what to expect from the smaller sensor of the E-M10. Not only are the images equal to, they are better in many regards. Everyone mentioned the complex menu system with its sometimes confusing layout. On the contrary, I find the menu system very intuitive and a pleasure to use. The customization possibilities are very handy as well. The camera is well made, easy to hold with the add-on grip just a pleasure. I like that the two knobs make it easy to change settings comfortably with one finger. The touch screen is so user friendly. The ability to press the ok button to toggle between screens is very helpful as well. I am so pleased with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 that I can highly recommend it.
April 27, 2014
I've gone full circle from 35mm film SLR's, to early digital adopter, to point and shoot and phone cameras. I missed the functionality and capability of SLR's, but didn't miss the size. I've had this camera since it first became available, and it meets every one of my requirements, all in a small portable package. Battery life can leave a little to be desired when used all day, and lenses can be expensive. But if you're looking to go back to SLR's or thinking of trying one out for the first time, this is a great way camera. Plus it's easy for my wife to use on iAuto.
April 24, 2014
This camera is great for street photography! It is smaller than I thought (a good thing) and has superb auto focus. The handling is good, it is packed with features, and it performs well. I can recommend this camera to anyone in the market for a new camera (mirrorless or not). You will be glad with your decision. It is that good.
April 21, 2014
This is a very nice camera. An excellent mix of both easy to use features for pointing and shooting, combined with tools for the more expert photographer. I had given up on interchangeable lens cameras since I take photos mostly outdoors, and they were big, clumsy, expensive and often lacked useful features that point and shoots had. So it took some convincing me to come back to an ILS, and micro four thirds cameras seemed to be the ticket. So I plunged and got this.
It's nice and compact. I got it with the kit 14-42 II R zoom; I sorta wish I'd gotten the more advanced EZ lens instead, since it's smaller. But other than size it's very capable, and a good choice for all around photos.
The choice of lens is excellent. I got the 75-300mm zoom, and it's been nice for wildlife photography. It's also a good test of the stabilizer. Compared to the lens-based stabilization in my Panasonic superzoom I'd say it's a tiny bit less effective, but that may be me. In any case I'll take it, since camera-based stabilization opens up the choice of lenses available.
Controls are pretty easy to use, although the choices of options in live view on the monitor vs the EVF gets a bit confusing. One button to rotate through them all would have been easier.
The monitor is OK, although it doesn't articulate as much as some other cameras. And I'd like a cover on it, or a way to flip it over to protect the screen. The screen protrudes a tiny bit in the back, so when you lay it down on its back the screen gets scratched. Ouch. Very easy to do. Using it for touch-focus is a joy.
The wifi is nicely implemented. I like that you can do a one-off connection to somebody's cellphone, and that they can then view a photo from a browser. Not enough cameras do this, and for those of us who travel in areas with no wifi and no cell it's a great way to share.
The use of the camera via the smartphone app and wifi is fantastic. I'd love to see them expand this function even more. Other cameras I own allow a camera-phone connection over wifi by having both join an existing LAN; the E-M10 only does peer to peer as far as I can figure out. This would extend the range. They also need to make the camera connect to a regular computer, and not just a smartphone or tablet for tethered shooting.
Battery life is decent, although it will chew through it fast using wifi.
It's got a great set of manual and customizable controls. The rotating dials are very useful, and easy to operate. You can do an awful lot without ever having to look up from the EVF.
Not being familiar with the details of autofocus, I had heard that with a camera like this it wasn't as good. I'm not doing sports or low light photos, and I have seen an issue. But I came from optical focusing, so perhaps I'm not a good judge. But as I said the "tap screen to focus" feature is quickly becoming indispensable.
I also picked up the lens cap lens. Set the camera in auto and you've got a slightly fat smartphone camera with super image quality. Won't fit in a pocket, but it does make an awesome point and shoot.
Movie quality is frankly a bit poor in this camera. My lower end Panasonic actually does a better job, and does 1080p at 60fps. This doesn't. It'll get you by, but don't buy it for anything but still shots.
April 19, 2014
I'm a proficient beginner hoping to advance both my photographic knowledge and skills. The E-M10 was recommended to me by a professional photographer and turned out to be an excellent choice: Easy to begin with and easy to advance with; great built-in programmatic support and easy-to-learn menu structure; lightweight, even when a 4/3 telephoto mounted; amazing low-light capabilities; quiet and stealthy with the AF illuminator, focus beep and monitor turned off; and fun to experiment (play?) with!

I am an E-M1 user myself. I bought the E-M10 for my wife. The camera is tiny, yet very capable. We come from a Nikon DSLR background and find the little OM-D cameras quite refreshing due to lack of weight and advanced features. The image quality is outstanding and surprising for the smaller 4/3 sensor size. I am a photography professional and my wife is not, yet either of us can pick up the tiny little E-M10 and make the camera do what we want. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment in using the E-M10 for an emergency commercial shoot if one of my Nikons failed. The camera is a delight to use, with all the features any enthusiast would want, all the controls a professional would need, and all the in-camera support a newbie would desire—all in one little camera body. Amazing!
March 31, 2014
Very good camera! Purchased just before trip to US, have some tricks to use, difficult menu, very solid and quality body, a bit heavier than my pocket camera, but compact as well to put to my purse. It is different from my Olympus SH-50 which i used last year for travel. E-M10 is very good in low light even with kit lens 14-42mm II R (or panasonic 14-42, which i used on a trip just because this lens more compact than Olympus kit lens). Looking forward to buy the 14-42 EZ pancake lens,and advise you to do so too. My own opinion, this camera shoots same quality pictures like an entry level DSLR cameras, but more smaller. And very go ahead from travel zooms and pocket compact with small sensor. A bad point, RAW no recognized yet on the mac computers, even with new update. Hope it will be fixed soon.
March 28, 2014
I have owned my OMD EM 10 for a little over a month. Still getting use to the touch screen and a lot of the features. I moved over from a Sony DSLR. I wanted to go smaller. This camera is defiantly smaller way smaller. Offers a lot of manual controls. I got the kit and added the 40-150. This camera has the fastest auto focus I have seen. So glad I took the micro four thirds plunge.

Mr. Perry, just why is our industry sill doing business, just as we did before the computer age? Namely, we are still operating, using false miles, to pay drivers, and charging shippers a rate based on the old ideas of city to city.Yet, we pay drivers, who are loosing pay and time driving many unpaid miles.DON'T THE TRUCKING COMPANIES ALSO LOOSE INCOME, USING THE OUT DATED SYSTEM? We drivers are tied to the actual miles and times needed to run actual miles, CORRECT? HERE IS A IDEA, THAT IS WAY PAST DUE, AND IS NOT UNFAIR TO ANYONE. PLUS, WE ARE MORE AND MORE FORCED TO USE ROUTES, ONLY FOR TRUCKS. LIKE GOING AROUND CITIES THAT ADD 2 HOURS, USING 50 MILES, UNPAID TO MAKE A DELIVERY OR PICKUP. '

Some countries began recalibrating, shortening leave for women and offering "neutral leave" that could be taken by either parent—but which became de facto maternity leave. So policy makers decided to make men an offer they would feel ashamed to refuse. Norway, Iceland, Germany, Finland, and several other countries offered a variety of incentives to nudge men to take leave. Some countries offered them more money, which helped men feel that they were financially supporting their families even when they were at home. Many also adopted a "use it or lose it" approach, granting each family a total amount of leave, a certain portion of which could be used only by fathers.
The brilliance of "daddy days," as this solution came to be known, is that, rather than feeling stigmatized for taking time off from their jobs, many men now feel stigmatized if they don't. The economist Ankita Patnaik, who has studied Quebec's implementation of such a policy, told me that "families felt they were wasting something" if the father didn't take leave. In 2006, Quebec increased the financial benefits for paid leave and offered five weeks that could be taken only by fathers. "That's what really made a difference," Patnaik told me. "Now dads might feel bad for not taking leave—your baby loses this time with parents." Since then, the percentage of Quebecois fathers taking paternity leave has skyrocketed, from about 10 percent in 2001 to more than 80 percent in 2010.
The policy has achieved many of the hoped-for long-term outcomes, chief among them more fluidity in who does what around the house. Previous studies found that fathers who take paternity leave are more likely, a year or so down the road, to change diapers, bathe their children, read them bedtime stories, and get up at night to tend to them. Patnaik's study confirmed this; looking at time-use diaries, she found that men who were eligible for the new leave—whether or not they took it—ended up spending more time later on routine chores like shopping and cooking.
If these changes sound minor, they aren't. As men have taken on more domestic work over the past 20 or so years, they have gravitated toward the fun stuff, like hanging out with the kids, rather than the boring but inescapable duties, like boiling the ravioli or vacuuming Cheerios out of the family-room carpet. The University of Oregon sociologist Scott Coltrane has noted that when men share "routine repetitive chores," women feel they are being treated fairly and are less likely to become depressed.
In Quebec, women whose husbands were eligible for the new leave were more likely to return to their original employers and were more likely to work full-time, resulting in their spending "considerably" more hours on paid work. (When women work full-time, it alters the home division of labor more than when they work part-time.) And as women were spending more time working for pay, men were spending less: the Quebec paternity-leave policy resulted in a small but long-term decrease in fathers' time at work.
This finding hints at the possibility that paternity leave could erode the fabled "fatherhood wage premium." In the early 20th century, employers explicitly and even proudly paid married men more than they paid single men—and much more than they paid women—in recognition of the fact that husbands were the conduit by which families got fed. Even after employers dropped these formal policies, fathers have continued to enjoy a wage bonus, either because they are seen as being more motivated and reliable, or because they work longer hours, or both. But Patnaik's study suggests that paternity leave might give men a new mind-set, prompting them to trade more money for more time at home, more flexibility, or both. In this way, it could make men behave more like women.
Which points to a core goal of many workplace-equity policies: spreading the parenthood stigma around. Widespread paternity-leave plans raise the possibility that bosses will stop looking askance at the résumé of a 20‑something female applicant, or at least apply the same scrutiny to a similar male applicant.
While it's too soon to tell whether California's, New Jersey's, and Rhode Island's paid-paternity-leave programs will be as transformative as Quebec's, the early signs are positive. Since California instituted its program, the percentage of "bonding leaves" claimed by men has risen from 18.7 in 2005 and 2006 to 31.3 in 2012 and 2013. A study by the economist Eileen Appelbaum and the sociologist Ruth Milkman showed that initial concerns that the California law would be a "job killer" were unfounded, and that workplaces have figured out effective and creative ways to cover for leave-taking parents. The biggest hurdle seems to be getting the word out, particularly among lower-income families that could benefit enormously from the program. (Part of the beauty of the California policy is that it extends leave to men in non-white-collar jobs.)
News stories and conventional wisdom suggest that men still feel judged when they take paternity leave, so I was struck, while speaking with a New York City dads' group, by how many of its members had received positive reinforcement from bosses and colleagues after announcing their decision to take leave. A different study by the Boston College Center for Work and Family has found that for men, joining the "parents club" tends to have positive professional consequences: fathers are more readily permitted to adjust their work hours than are mothers, who are often viewed as less committed and less promotable. The study also found that men tend not to ask for formal work-life policies; they use "stealth" methods instead, like slipping out to coach soccer practice. Part of the leniency toward working dads, of course, may be due to the fact that they simply haven't asked for much.

As soon as I saw Sean Paul's name my immediate reaction was "am I crazy or has it been years since we've heard from Sean?". Well, it turns out I was right (although also maybe crazy); the last solo feature from the rapper/crooner was way back on 2009's Hold My Hand (Remix). I frankly have no idea what Paul's been up to in the interim, but if new single Got 2 Luv U is any indication his signature sound has shifted away from the islands and towards the Euro/house/club sound currently dominating the charts. Sure, his kind-of-hard-to-understand lyrics and charismatic delivery are essentially unchanged, but unlike the more organic sound of his past hits he recruits mega-producers Stargate for an electronically-drenched, R&B influenced smoker topped off my soaring vocals from Alexis Jordan. Will Sean Paul's new sound on Got 2 Luv U leave loyal fans cold, or be the kind re-introduction to the world that will earn his as yet-untitled new album a release date? We'll find out soon in the comments below.

Ray Lamar hasn't spent decades perfecting his donuts. In fact, his namesake shops still use the same recipes that Ray developed in 1933—at the age of 17—when he got his first job working a donut fryer. World War II and a postwar career as a stockbroker interrupted Ray's donut-making pursuits, although he returned to his roots in 1960 when he founded the first LaMar's Donuts.
The shop went on to become a Kansas City icon, with crowds arriving well before 6 a.m. to line up outside the doors and taunt the roosters for sleeping in. Ray and his wife, Shannon, eventually decided to expand their business into a regional empire, and LaMar's Donuts currently boasts 27 franchised stores spread across six states.
Even with all of this growth, decades-old traditions still dictate how things are done. The workers prepare more than 75 different kinds of donuts, hand-making fresh batches of perennial favorites as well as recent inventions each and every morning. In addition to the original glazed creation that dates back to 1933, the menus can feature a variety of cake donuts with flavors such as red velvet, apple spice, and maple.
Since donuts and coffee go together as naturally as paper shredders and subpar report cards, the stores also prepare cappuccinos, mochas, and other coffee drinks. These are all made with handpicked beans that slowly roast inside Italian brick ovens.
Wielding a spray bottle, the eco-friendly detailers spritz engines and tires with a biodegradable degreaser before wiping down exteriors with soft micro fiber chamois cloths for a stellar hand wash. These seemingly small touches help K & C Auto Detailing Solutions contribute to greener, more eco-friendly car-detailing methods.
Conveniently located in the Goodyear Building at 75th and Metcalf, the team scours cars during detailing sessions, sweeping dust from seats with shampoo cloths, stripping away bugs and tar, and shining exteriors with electric buffers. They also go mobile, and provide lot washing services to dealerships and companies with fleets of vehicles. Committed to environmentally sound cleaning methods, they contribute green services and products to local car-wash fundraisers and use Shamerrific cleaning products to wash cars without chemicals or the sound of Mother Nature's disapproving sighs. The team also offers "wash while you work" services that allow employees to continue working at their desks while K & C detailers polish and cleanse grime from soiled cars.
Learning2Fly?s founder Sumya Anani believes that all conscious movement leads one further down the path to empowerment. It is this philosophy that led Anani to become a registered yoga teacher, massage therapist, personal trainer, and four-time world boxing champion. After travelling the country to train under several top aerialists, she now strives to inspire others through her curriculum?which includes aerial yoga and trapeze?that stirs up self-awareness, discipline, and perseverance.She teaches techniques to all skill levels through introductory classes including aerial basics, aerial classes for kids and teens, and beginning silks for women 50+. Similarly, aerial camps immerse participants in the body-bending skills required to master her artful form of fitness. While clients maneuver in suspended grace, her trained instructors also teach floor-bound boxing and Hatha yoga classes, which boost the flexibility and strength of those who are afraid of heights or making their pet emu jealous.
Trinity Limousine Company Inc. ferries passengers to and from jet-setting endeavors with a fleet of luxurious vehicles that accommodate both small and large groups. Brimming with an array of executive sedans, the motor pool occasionally includes such smooth rides as the hemi-powered Chrysler 300 series, the Lincoln Town Car Signature series, and the 2005 Pinewood Derby gold medalist.
A cavalcade of Lincoln Town Car Executive Diamond and Krystal ?series stretch limousines pampers clients with lavish interiors, which feature wrap-around seating, media players that can handle iPods, iPhones, Bluetooth gadgets, and USB devices, and flat-screen DVD-ready monitors, satellite radio and television, and an assortment of beverages for refreshment or spit-take practice. Glassware is available upon request at an additional charge, while the steady-handed chauffeurs whisk away passengers throughout the entire Kansas City area.
Although Signature Ballroom's instructors Abby Vogels and Matt Schissler introduce their students to a number of ballroom styles–from tango to foxtrot to samba–they also focus on fitness. During private lessons, they not only teach their charges the fancy footwork, but how to use the steps as a means of exercising and losing weight in a fun and creative way, much like completing a coloring book while running on a treadmill. Guests can also work out and build connections between one another with more modern techniques such as East and West Coast swing.
Already existing connections are further strengthened during wedding couples' dances. After teaching prenuptial footwork to just the bride and groom or the entire wedding party, the instructors provide a video of the choreography so their pupils can practice at home in preparation for the big day.
While an expert staff leads customers through an inventory of new and pre-owned Hyundais outside, Shawnee Mission Hyundai's service department hones in on parts and appearances. Hyundai-certified technicians wield factory-approved tools as they change oil and filters, replace batteries and brake pads, and tackle other auto maintenance and repairs. The shop also lavishes cars with hand washes and detailing packages that target surface imperfections with clay bars and protect exteriors with paint sealant. Drivers can await their rides in one of two lounges stocked with flat-screen televisions, magazines, free WiFi, and complimentary coffee. A play area keeps children from assessing the Blue Book value on their Matchbox cars.

William Blair's 7 Favorite Financial Stocks for 2012
Wright Express (WXS)
Company Profile: Wright Express provides fleet charge cards and information services for car, van and truck fleets throughout the U.S.Share Price: $53.25 (Dec. 6) 2011 Return: 15.8% Investment Thesis: Wright Express plays on one of William Blair's investing trends for 2012: Prepaid cards. "Wright Express appears to be gaining good traction with its prepaid card initiative," the analysts write. "We believe prepaid could be a significant new growth area for Wright Express given the cross-selling opportunity it has with its core customer base. We believe Wright Express's scalable infrastructure and closed-loop network gives it a sustainable competitive advantage." The analysts expect Wright Express's other payments solutions segment, which accounted for 23% of third-quarter revenue, to continue to be strong. "Wright Express accelerated international investment over the past several years and completed a highly accretive acquisition in Australia in 2010," the analysts write. "Wright Express is working on many new growth initiatives, which gives us confidence in the long-term outlook. We believe an accretive acquisition, likely international, is possible in the near term."
Higher One Holdings (ONE) Company Profile: Higher One offers integrated financial aid disbursement services for universities. The company provides services to about 5.8 million students, ensuring they receive financial aid refunds quickly, can pay tuition and bills online, make on-campus and community purchases. Share Price: $19.99 (Dec. 6) 2011 Return: -1.2% Investment Thesis: William Blair analysts say they like Higher One because the company has an attractive, predictable business model with high incremental margins and solid cash flow conversion. It also helps that management recently said that the company's pipeline "remains extremely robust." "We believe there could be upside down the road from the company increasingly being viewed as a true bank alternative (e.g., more direct deposit), through acquisitions, by monetizing the graduate opportunity, and as a takeover candidate," the analysts write. However, there is high short interest in Higher One's stock -- William Blair analysts say it would take about 30 days to cover. That's due to a number of unresolved headwinds, including competition, fees, potential cuts in Pell grants, slowing enrollment growth in the U.S. and a bank partner. While finding a bank partner is the biggest question market, William Blair analysts say that a positive announcement, which could come in the next three months, would be a huge catalyst, especially considering the massive short interest.

"Convenient hotel"
My daughter and I stayed here on our recent trip. Hotel was very close to freeway access, a couple decent restaurants and a Mall. Breakfast was pretty substantial to start the day. Hot tub area very clean and hotel considerably quiet (we stayed on the third floor). Lobby was inviting, used computer to print boarding passes, no issues at all. Our room […] was clean, tried to hang up our towels to re-use, but housekeeping always gave us new, clean ones anyway. Walls kept out noise, room temp very comfortable (we just slept with window cracked 3"), plenty of hot water, bed was pretty comfy for a hotel bed, and price was a very good value. Only a couple downsides: they have three parking lots, the one closest to the main entrance was always full. The second closest lot was hit or miss, but the entrance door there was broken. The third (and farthest lot) was always open, but that access door was always locked. So, leaving the hotel never a problem, just trying to get back in was...lastly, only one elevator at the front of the building, our room was on third floor, all the way in the back, so lots of trips back and forth to hot tub, breakfast area, or just coming and going for days activities. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel for a comfortable, value stay in Portland, OR. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Central location outside of downtown Portland."
My stay was great. Friendly, helpful staff. Have stayed here many times before and they were able to upgrade me to a larger room. The hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants and fast food places. It's just a short ride to downtown Portland and easy access to places east, like Mt. Hood, Gresham, etc...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good place to sleep, close to light rail"
We flew to Portland from Iowa and rented a car. Car was really not used much exept to go to the mountains...we were worried about finding parking downtown Portland but with the light rail so close we never had to drive in. Very friendly staff. Decor outdated but since we were just sleeping when there it didn't even matter. Would stay there againGenuine Expedia guest review
"Portland stay"
Just what we wanted!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to Southeast, nice and helpful staff"
It was a perfect location for what I needed, but it was otherwise unremarkable. It's where flight crew stay when they're after reasonable and decent.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Major front desk problems!"
I called the day before I arrived to let them know I needed to use their FREE shuttle service from the airport and was told it would be no problem. I called from the airport and was told there was no driver and I would have to take a cab. This cost me 40.00 with trip and they would not reimburse me And were rude when I asked. The next day the desk person […] could not tell me how to get to the train station or what bus to take into Portland or what web site to use to check on line !!! So I had to take a cab into Portland, costing me an additional 30.00!!! The cab driver showed me where the station for the train is, a short 3 block walk from hotel and told me what train to take and what web site to use. The neighborhood is not great at night with 3 strip clubs within 2 blocks of the hotel Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"An Okay Hotel"
My stay was uneventful. The staff was helpful and courteous. The room was a single and very small. The comforter was thin with most of the fill in the corners and little fill in the middle. I felt like I was sleeping with a sheet and little else. The bathroom was smaller than my home closet. The door opened inward with 1/2 inch clearance from the tub. […] To close the door, you had to squeeze between the tub and toilet which had less than a foot between them. The coffee maker in my room had issues. It would turn itself off every few seconds. The only way to keep it working was to jiggle the electrical cord while standing next to it until it finished brewing. I should have reported it to the front desk but didn't. That said, the per night price was reasonable and the room was clean. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We were attending our daughters wedding close to the neighborhood. The Ramada was easy to get to, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. The breakfast was great with biscuts and gravy, scrambled eggs, toast, yogurt and the list goes on, not just your typical continental breakfast. We had requested 2 beds and our room had only one king bed. […] There were 3 of us travelling together. They were able to get us a roll away. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not a great neighborhood but okay i"
Staff gave me the wrong directions so what was easy to find became an hour of traffic messes The neighborhood is nothing and not inviting for any walking or running, but easy access to freeways Workout room minimal. Hot tub with no privacy Liked the soap!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Airport shuttle??"
I stayed here 1 night because my 1st choice (Ramada Airport) was not available. The hotel is newer than my first choice and a little further out from the airport. The street it's on has a lot of strip clubs and bars which gives the sense that this is not the best neighborhood in town. I was ending a vacation (son was driving) and we were able to find […] an Olive Garden a short distance ride away. Couple of choices there - might be a cab ride if you aren't renting a car. Checking in, I signed up for the shuttle the next morning (goes by room #) and was told "right at front door" Checked out next morning and was in the pickup spot 5 minutes early. I saw a Radio Cabs pull up and take a couple off and then later another who took a different group. Checked my time when they left and it was 2 minutes after the shuttle was scheduled. I go in and ask if the shuttle was running late - the desk person says "No, you were supposed to get in the cab" Might have been nice if either the desk person at night who took my shuttle reservation had mention this or the am desk person who had just checked me out by room number had said "No shuttle, we are using cabs today". Or a sign or something people. Fortunately, they were able to get another cab there but "tell him he has to come in the lobby to get paid". Maybe the desk person forgot to tell the driver that too. I made the flight but did not need the last minute stress. I will not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The hotel was close to all that we planned to do-"
We were welcomed even though our flight arrived late. We enjoyed having a few hot items for breakfast including protein items. The employees working the breakfast did an excellent job of keeping the items replenished and cleaned up. There was a nice variety of food items offered. Might be nice to also offer bananas as a fresh fruit.The ladies did a […] good job keeping our room clean and providing clean linens. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Only complaint was that we had a hot tub in our room but it was not in operation. There seemed to be some soft spots under the carpet that seemed as though the floor was gone or rotted under the carpet which bothered me. Might have been nice to have two chairs in the room so our backs wouldn't hurt while watching T.V. Liked the hot cookies. Liked the location, near to the shopping center and some restaurants since we were from 1700 miles away and didn't know where to start looking for restaurants. Thanks for a good stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
It was very clean, the people at the desk were friendly, it was close to different places to eat, and places to shop. The only thing wrong was the room was a little smallGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay for the average traveler"
Only things I would comment on are: stiff bed gave me a sore back in the morning, TV in exercise room did not work (although the front counter girl busted her but to try and make it work, Thank you), and neighborhood was a bit trashy/ghetto feeling. Would I stay here again... Yes. Easy access to freeways, OUTSTANDING breakfast choices (although the […] eggs were undercooked in my opinion), overall feel of the hotel was up to modern standard.. except the Elevator door.. I could have walked up all 3 stories before that door opened and closed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not too shabby..."
I really can't complain. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the TV was newer, though sometimes the reception was bad. The staff was pleasant, the free breakfast was... well, it was free. I didn't use the hot tub or gym so I can't say anything about that. The location was convenient for shopping, but not the best area (I lived in Portland for 6 years […] so I'm familiar with the area). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Just steps to club 205 and Mystic. In addition Red Robin and Arby's are only a block away. Great for Bachelor partiesGenuine Expedia guest review
"close to everything"
Check in was simple and very fast. Everybody should stay there. The employees are very friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just having fun"
Everything was awesome and I will surely tell all my friends and family how great of a stay it was.. Thank YouGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Love it"
Walk over to 80th for food, don't hang around the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean Hotel Room"
The hotel room was very clean, it was a little small but ok for a short stay. Close to restaurants and stores. Easy booking and checkout.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good, Not great"
They answer the phone that they are award winning. I don't see it. Staff member at check in was sitting down the entire evening. Even when checking people in. Parking is horrible if you show up after 8. Breakfast was poor selection and poor quality. just eggs and biscuits/gravy for hot items. eggs were wet, grainy, and completely tasteless. Only plus […] was the oversized tub. Internet quality was low and slow. Sad because the location is awesome. But the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nicest place to stay in area."
Pleasant, fridge/microwave a must, helpful staff but many services unavailable for the odd houred guest.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Satisfactory accomodations"
We arrived at about 4:30 pm Friday to a line of people checking in, and only one person on duty. The room was clean enough but it was a chore to find a electric outlet to plug in our phone. They were very few and hard to get to. The toilet seat was very squeaky when you let the lid down. The tv remote didn't work at all. In order to use the coffee maker […] or microwave you had to hunt for an outlet to plug them in as they weren't already plugged in. The bathroom counter space was pretty small. The back entrance door near our parking space didn't open with our key. There was a note that it was out of service. The unit itself was adequate and appeared clean enough, there was just the other issues adding up to being irritating. The room for the rate was okay I would say. I left a note of the issues with the general manager the next morning at check out and she didn't seem to care less. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"One night stay near the airport"
Multiple busloads of guests made it somewhat noisy (teens) and harder to get van from airport (filled with bus visitors)Genuine Expedia guest review
"Friendly, reasonably priced"
Fast airport shuttle. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I will stay here again when visiting Portland.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for the price, great staff."
Overall, we had a nice stay, especially for the price. The gentleman at the front desk when I checked in was super nice and hospitable. Our room was very clean and smelled nice. The bed was a little hard, but not terrible by any means. My only real complaint is that there are no door closers (ie devices that slow the movement of a door when it closes) […] on any of the room doors, so starting at 6am (I'm assuming from guests getting down to the continental breakfast) we were awakened at least 10 times by very loud, slamming doors. And it persisted all day. No matter the kind of sleep you get, that's a real buzzkill. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"needs a remodel"
Clean but something is wrong with all the floors in the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Airport convenience without airport noise"
Greeting at desk was poor. Breakfast and housekeeping staff was excellent and friendly. Visited family in SE Portland so location was OK.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great staff. Only downfall was small parking lot, but that was manageable. Would definitely stay there againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to Airport and City"
Clean room. Friendly helpful staff. Decent breakfast most days. Solid 4 stars.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Location"
Lots to do nearby. Really great that there was a fridge in the room.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Clean and quiet. Good east side location."
Nice place- it was very close to where i needed to be, but would be a drive from downtown. The room was very clean- (the only complaint I had regarding that was the chemical/medicinal smell of whatever cleaner they used). Some of the towels were a bit scratchy, but the newer looking ones were soft. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was quite good- hot […] buffet and lots of fruit, yogurt, cereals, breads and pastries to choose from. Pretty quiet for a room facing a busy street. I'd stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient Location"
Hotel is convenient and reasonably priced. Room is clean and staff polite and helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very pleased"
We were very pleased with every aspect of the Ramada...room, breakfast, cleanliness, price, customer service. Excellent! Very easy to access off of the freeway also.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, we look forward to seeing you again.
"staff asked me for directions!"
I had to get a room at 10:45pm because there were inches of snow. Yes, inches. Conversation with the airport shuttle driver goes like this: (Me) "Are you the shuttle for Ramada South East?" which is what the person on the phone said I should ask for. (Driver) "Yes-that's on 205, right?" (Me) "Uh, I have no idea-you are the one who lives here." Driver […] gets to the hotel close by, and I tip him because it's late, and there is snow in Portland. We'll not mention the chains on the wheels that sound like I'm in the middle of an MRI machine; they were breaking off. (Front desk) "You don't have a room here-it's the other hotel, and we are booked." (Driver comes by) "Sorry!" (Me) "I'll take my tip back, please." Which he did. Next driver for other location was about 45 minutes later, and it's about 5 miles away. Only took about 10 minutes to get back there. Next morning, the slide-by doors were stuck open, so the entire lobby area, including the breakfast bar (with so-so typical food) was about 40 degrees. THIS shuttle's chains had the fortune of just breaking off halfway back to the airport. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 We apologize about the mix up, that week we were short on drivers and had to use a new driver that was still learning on the job.
"Great overnight place."
Convenient to airport, many stores and restaurants around. A perfect spot for a clean hospitable place to stay. Good internet and breakfast selection.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 Thank you for staying with us, we look forward to seeing you again.
"Easy Access"
Good location, decent price, Could not ask for more:)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 Thank you for your feedback, we look forward to seeing you again.
"Good value for the price"
We opted to stay the night here while in town visiting friends. The room looked almost exactly like the one advertised which was great. The light switch by the door seemed to operate the microwave and fridge so there was a beep every time it was flipped on. It took me a minute to figure out that the microwave was resetting and turning on at the same […] time. Which was a little strange. The bed was fairly comfortable, but it could have used one more blanket on it. The only real downside (besides comprising all continental breakfasts of carbs and wheat) was when we returned later in the evening. We tried to use multiple side doors, but they were all 'broken'. We ended up having to walk all the way around to the front of the hotel from the back parking lot. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 We apologize for the issues in the room as well as the rear door situation. We are continuously working towards making the guest experience a better one, hopefully you wont experience these issues on your next visit.
"plus comfort for 19 nights"
I flew to Portland Oregon for the soon to be born first grandson. I needed a place to stay, close to the 'kids' and room to sew, crochet, work on taxes etc. I booked a suite with a mini kitchen. My Mt. Hood suite was huge, I had a king bed with 6 great pillows, 2 large walk in closets, desk, bathroom with tub, 2 flat screen tvs, one in the living-dining […] area and one in the bedroom. Also, I must not forget, they are pet friendly and I brought my dog. He was very happy there and when in bedroom he could not hear (or bark) at guests in the hall way, near the elevator/stairs. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us, we look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Portland.
They had some trouble with the TV in our first room. Asked if they could fix it while we went out. Apparently they are switching out their cables and so the TV was a fuzzy, so they were unable to fix it, but they did give us another room which worked better. Love the warm cookies in the evening! What a great idea. The room was very comfortable and the […] hotel was very quite. Overall it was a great stay, Thank you!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 We apologize for this inconvenience. We are in the process of changing over to Comcast. We will now be able to offer our guest all basic Comcast channels and plus much more.
Wonderful stay for the money; the bed was gigantic and very comfortable, the room was clean and spacious. There were some renovations going on during our stay, which meant the front lobby smelled strongly of fresh paint the night we arrived, but it wasn't problematic. The continental breakfast was fabulous; you can't beat getting good biscuits and gravy […] for free! The Ramada is definitely on my go-to list for inexpensive hotels that are still enjoyable to stay at. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 Glad you enjoyed your stay, we look forward to seeing you again.
"Close to Hwys, shopping and restaurants"
Parking was a bit of a pain. Breakfast was adequate. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. I wish I'd have brought my swimsuit so I could have used the hot tub.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 Sorry about the parking situation that night but we do have four designated parking lots around our building. Hopefully on your next visit the front parking lot wont be so congested.
I thought the motel was run down and very noisyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Ramada Portland South I-205 We highly regret that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Please let us know what you would want us to do different in an effort to make the guest experience a better one.
"Very comfortable stay."
We chose Ramada because we travel with our dogs. When we arrived we discovered that they had upgraded us to a suite (separate bedroom and 2nd TV). It was very spacious and comfortable with a half-size fridge and a real sink. The free breakfast provided was very good with fresh scrambled eggs or cheese omelette and sausage, and a selection of juice, […] milk, fresh coffee, yogurt and cereal. They also served fresh baked cookies in the lobby every evening. Overall we were very please and will stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Wonderful & Affordable!"
Ramada Portland East was definitely a great choice for our short stay in Portland. For the price of $50/night, we had complimentary hot breakfast every morning (certainly saved us a couple of bucks), maid service came in to clean our room everyday, and the staff were very friendly in greeting us each time we came in and out of the hotel. They also had […] an indoor spa with early morning through late night hours, unlike most hotels, which was cleaned and maintained every night. Definitely a bonus for the cold winter weather!

Segel, Sudeikis, Bateman! Battle of the Hot Jasons (PHOTOS)
The highly anticipated Muppets movie hits theaters this Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which puts another hot Jason on the big screen, Jason Segel!
The How I Met Your Mother star is just one of the many Jasons that makes us laugh, protects us from evil and makes us swoon with their sweet melodies. Let us know which same-name celebrity is your fave by leaving a comment below!
Horrible Bosses doubles the hot as Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman star as two disgruntled employees seeking to get revenge on their evil bosses.
Not far behind, the twenty-one year old singing sensation Jason Derulo first burst onto the scene in 2009 with his hit "In My Head." He also released a steamy video featuring former Pussycat Doll member Melody Thorton for "Don't Wanna Go Home".
It's a given that if you were in Sex and the City, then you have to be sexy! Jason Lewis is no exception to the rule. The former fashion model has done several campaigns for fashion giants Guess?, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss. He's even been on the cover of Men's Fitness.
Jason Momoa is the 6'4' hottie that stole our hearts as Khal Drogo, the barbaric leader of the Dothraki, in HBO's Game of Thrones. Momoa is also a dad: he and his girlfriend of six years, Lisa Bonet, have two children. Soon this Hawaiian stud will reprise Arnold Schwarzenegger's role in Conan the Barbarian.
Bringing up the rear for the Jasons is none other than the studly Jason Statham. This action star won us over with his death defying stunts in Crank, Transporter and most recently in The Mechanic. If only he were up grabs! Statham has been seeing fellow Brit and supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely.

Peabody Energy And ArcelorMittal SA Submit Proposal To Acquire Macarthur Coal
ST. LOUIS, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU) and ArcelorMittal SA (NYSE: MT) today confirmed that they have jointly submitted an indicative proposal to the board of directors of Macarthur Coal Ltd. (ASX: MCC) to acquire all of the shares of the company.
Under the proposal by a newly formed company, owned 60 percent by Peabody and 40 percent by ArcelorMittal, Macarthur shareholders would be offered a cash price of A$15.50 per share through an off-market takeover offer. The new company has a relevant interest of approximately 16 percent in Macarthur's shares.
The proposal price implies a value for the equity in Macarthur of approximately A$4.7 billion and represents a substantial premium to recent trading.
The proposal to Macarthur's board is non-binding and conditional on the successful completion of due diligence, which would be completed in a timely manner. Any resulting offer to Macarthur shareholders would be subject only to minimum 50.01 percent acceptance, Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board approval and other customary conditions and approvals.According to Peabody Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Boyce, "We believe there is significant value that can be created by managing Macarthur's portfolio of coal assets using Peabody's industry-leading operating, development and commercial skills. We look forward to advancing this proposal to complete a transaction for the benefit of Macarthur shareholders." Aditya Mittal, Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Group Management Board of ArcelorMittal, said: "ArcelorMittal has been a long-term investor in Macarthur, and we look forward to discussing our proposal with the board of Macarthur." Macarthur is the world's largest producer of seaborne low volatile pulverized coal injection (LV PCI) coal with production and development assets in the Bowen Basin, Australia, including the Coppabella and Moorvale Joint Venture and Middlemount Mine. It controls total coal reserves of approximately 270 million tonnes (approximately 175 million tonnes on an attributable basis) and total resources of approximately 2.3 billion tonnes (approximately 1.7 billion tonnes on an attributable basis). It has current production guidance of 3.8 to 4.0 million tonnes for the year ended June 30, 2011. Peabody is the world's largest private-sector coal company and a global leader in clean coal solutions. With 2010 sales of 246 million tons and nearly US$7 billion in revenues, Peabody fuels 10 percent of U.S. power and 2 percent of worldwide electricity. ArcelorMittal is the world's leading integrated steel and mining company, with operations in more than 60 countries. In 2010, ArcelorMittal had revenues of US$78 billion and crude steel production of 90.6 million tonnes, representing approximately 8 percent of world steel output. ArcelorMittal's mining operations produced 47 million tonnes of iron ore and 7 million tonnes of metallurgical coal as well in 2010. Peabody has engaged UBS and Bank of America Merrill Lynch as its financial advisers and Freehills as its legal adviser in relation to the potential transaction. ArcelorMittal has engaged RBC Capital Markets as its financial adviser and Mallesons Stephen Jaques as its legal adviser in relation to the potential transaction.
