Another go at McCall's M6044, this time for my sister's boyfriend, Jeremy. He wanted some 'grown up' shirts now that he's studying to become a business man…how cute is that? :P
My husband and I used Jeremy as a model to create a "How to Teach Yourself Fashion Photography" tutorial – check it out here.
Teal – 100% Cotton
White – blend – unfortunately I can't remember what of! Cotton and maybe polyester? Very delicate and luxurious.

Busy Recess
Firstly, Welcome back from what has been a very busy Recess.
I am absolutelty delighted by the brethren who turned out and supported us for our sleepout and following casino night. My personal thanks go to the brethren from 272, 927, 1614 and other visiting lodges who also supported us on these occasions. We raised an incredible £4200. Doubling our initial target of £2000. This will go a long way to helping the homeless within the Greyfriers Community Project in Edinburgh.
We also hosted the John Grant Memorial Dominos tournamement with the brethren from 272 and 1601. A great night was had by all once again and 272 ran away with the trophy for the second year running. 1601 came second with Stoneyburn galant losers.
The masonic Bowling has also been taking place during the recess and as far as I am aware we have not won any of the tournaments played.
On a more Sombre note, it is my sad news to report the passing of PM Bro Robert Carmichael. Robert was a large character within the lodge and never let his disability get in the way of his fun character. Robert recently became a grandad and was proud as punch with the time he spent with his family. He attained the chair of the lodge in 1998/99 and continued to support the lodge until he was admitted into the care home then onto Erskine.
Many brethren visited Robert and although his health physically deteriorated , Robert was always the same cheery character. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Finally, I'd like to thank the brethren of the lodge for your support and lets continue to drive the good name of Lodge St John Stoneyburn forward, both within and outwith our province,

Catalogue of Old Cataloguestm
Tel/Fax 931/484-7680
How to Order
Aldens had a
fascinating history. We relate some of it on our Web site. They were founded in 1899 as Chicago Mail Order Millinery. Millinery
was dropped from the name in 1906, and the name was finally
changed to Aldens. The
name Aldens came about from a men's suit line. "Henry Alden" was
represented as the men's fashion buyer and later, his wife "Jane Alden"
the buyer or stylist for the women's line. However, they were both phantoms,
the products of advertising schemes. The Aldens became so popular that the name
of the company was changed to Aldens. The Schandig family actually owned the
company. A Schandig son called us several years ago on a trip through our area.
He was looking for a particular Aldens catalogue from the late 1930's-early
1940's with a picture of his father. Unfortunately, we did not have the
catalogue. Mr. Schnadig, the son, retired to El Paso, Texas and passed away in
Aldens and the Schandig family acquired The Boston Store ca1946, Gamble-Skogmo merged with Aldens ca1964, catalogue became Gamble Aldens, and then name changed back to Aldens by late 1970's. Wickes Corporation of California acquired them in 1980. Wickes filed for bankruptcy in 1982 and Aldens was closed. And…..so ended another American institution.
General Catalogues,Sale Catalogues, Christmas Catalogues
Sale Catalogues 01093- Catalogue- CHICAGO MAIL ORDER, Chicago, IL, Flyer 'Y', Summer 1932. Sale Catalogue. The major mail order houses made a practice of binding a few copies of each catalogue in hard covers for executives and key people so that the piece would stand up to frequent use. The title of catalogue and persons name was stamped in gold on black leatherette boards. This is just such an item. (Although this copy does not have them, in some cases, sales statistic forms facing each page were also bound in.) Well preserved, colorful contents of ladies' clothing. An important item for any collection! Excellent condition. 6-3/4" x 9-3/4" x 56pp. $125.00

"91 YEARS [OF SERVING OVER 4 MILLION AMERICAN FAMILIES". 12-digit printing calculator, clothing and shoes, camping, luggage, cameras, typewriters, watches, clocks, furniture, household textiles, china, vacuum cleaner, sewing machine, tools, radios, tape players, etc. 8-1/8"x 10-3/4"x 50pp. $18.00

The cover is mortise-cut in five diamond shapes to reveal candid shots of family around Christmas tree enjoying their presents. Fashions, toys, games, wide range of gifts for entire family. Founded in 1899 as Chicago Mail Order Millinery ("millinery" dropped from name in 1906), this was Alden's last year in business. Wicks Lumber Co. had acquired them earlier, pulled all the liquid assets out and folded 'em up. Sad but true. Near mint. 8" x 10-3/4" x 586 pp. $65.00

Age is just a number..............................
... called 'Peneros' to the sanctuary a marine ecosystem, which is very unusual. It was a perfect day, warm but not blazing sunshine, a comfortable heat. The little boat was surprisingly nifty going across the lagoon and slowed to a gentle pace to go down the canals, all the canals had names such as ………. Our boatman spoke no English but knew exactly where to find little treasures to share with us such as starfish ...
... hot walk back.
Research on the ferry website reveals I am unable to get a
boat to Cumana, my preferred destination, until Sunday – thought it was low
season here but apparently not until the end of the month and this place was
certainly packed with local tourists for this evening's paseo.
Had to head to the bus station to check out the options
before the damp squib of a sunset!
... Yaque you don't need to go to Porlamar – take the public bus
that leaves on the hour (or slightly earlier!!), every hour during the day, to
the main highway(7 bsf) where you can get a collective minibus direct to
Juangriego terminal(10bsf). From there a collective taxi from stand 14,
labelled La Galera, will for 6 bsf get you to Hotel Patrick, though it is
actually not far and if you knew where you were ...
By 8am had my money changed and my new room sorted – El
Yaque Motion is a bit of a walk but worth it for proximity to the sea, helpful
owner & staff, cleanliness, value (bsf500) and facilities – a bedside light
and some hammocks would be nice but that's just being picky!
Then off for an all you can eat buffet breakfast at Sharks
to set me up for the day. Spoke to the ticket sellers about the day trip to el
Coche but they were not hopeful ...
Sunday is probably not the best day to travel especially on public transport, but given the rip off the local taxis are to the airport, just had to make sure I left in time. Flagging one down to get to the bus station and then finding the correct maxi taxi to the junction near the airport went fine. The problem is always the route taxis, identifying one in the first place – I just wave at any car and hope the ones in business stop, not ...

Improving your home's energy efficiency with ENERGY STAR can help to lower high energy bills, improve comfort and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Learn about the many ways to save in your home and track your progress with "My ENERGY STAR" - your new dashboard to savings.
A new home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the US EPA. ENERGY STAR certified homes use 15-30% less energy than typical new homes while delivering better comfort, quality, and durability.
This report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for pulp, paper, and paperboard mill plants. It also explains how the EPI was developed to provide a plant-level indicator of energy efficiency by working with the pulp and paper mill industry. This report is useful if you would like background information on how EPA's ENERGY STAR Pulp and Paper Mill EPI was developed. The report presents the individual equations used to develop the EPI, as well as instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
This report describes the work of EPA and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry to develop an Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) for facilities that develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products in the United States. Learn how EPA uses EPIs to encourage industries to voluntarily improve their energy use. The report describes the data and statistical methods used to construct the EPI for pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. The equations are presented with instructions for using them in an associated Excel spreadsheet.
This report is an outcome of a roundtable convened in late 2010 by the IMT and senior policy implementers from 10 states and cities, national building energy efficiency experts, and leaders from the commercial real estate industry. The purpose was to discuss best practices for implementing commercial building benchmarking and disclosure policies. Many of these approaches have broad applicability both to current policy implementers and to those that may implement rating and disclosure policies in the future.
This study, by the Institute for Market Transformation and the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, analyzes the potential of a national building energy rating and disclosure policy to create jobs and reduce energy-related expenditures in commercial and multifamily residential buildings.
The ENERGY STAR Snapshot provides an at-a-glance summary of the key performance indicators for the commercial and industrial program. The Snapshot brings together the latest national metrics to help ENERGY STAR partners see the impact of their efforts. It provides a look at:

Alaska Ice Tested As Possible New Energy Source
"One of the basic messages is, we're not mining," he said. "It's using existing drilling techniques."
Methane could be extracted by lowering pressure or increasing temperature in an underground reservoir.
"One of the issues with that, though, is that you are melting the ice, and adding a lot of gas and water to the reservoir, which can compromise the reservoir's strength," Boswell said.
The Alaska research focused on a method aimed at preserving the underground ice structure. The extraction technique was based on studies done by ConocoPhillips and the University of Bergen in Norway. Researchers in a laboratory injected carbon dioxide into methane hydrate. CO2 molecules swapped places with methane molecules, freeing the methane to be harvested but preserving the ice.The DOE worked with ConocoPhillips and Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. to see if it would work in the field. They named the North Slope well Ignik Sikumi, an Inupiat Eskimo phrase that translates as "fire in the ice." Researchers injected 210,000 cubic feet of carbon dioxide and nitrogen into the underground reservoir through perforated pipe. Instruments measured pressure, temperature and produced gases. They tracked injected gases without fracturing the formation. Scientists collected data from 30 days of methane production, five times longer than anyone had done before. They are now trying to determine if methane produced was from an exchange with CO2, a reaction to the nitrogen, or a reaction to pressure changes down the hole. Researchers are optimistic. "From the lab data we had, it seemed like it was some strong evidence that it was not a lot of wholesale destruction of the solid hydrate," Boswell said.

My parents gave me wine when I was young, I have no problem doing the same with my kids. But from a school's point of view I can understand why they would ban it. It would kinda of be like sending your high schooler a lunch that contained a non-alcoholic beer. I agree that there is probably nothing to worry about for your kids drinking it, but schools almost all have a zero tolerance policy for any drugs or alcohol. I don't see why that policy is bad. If you are ok with your kids drinking, that is fine, just do it at home? Maybe I'm thinking wrongly about this?

Jim Hurst
Presented by notloB Music at Loring-Greenough House
May 23, 2012
notloB Parlour Concerts welcomes back Jim Hurst.
A one hour lesson in a small group setting is available prior to the concert. Make arrangements with Jim through his website.
"Jim Hurst is one of the most versatile and tasteful guitar players I know. Whether he's flailing the rhythm for an old time fiddle tune, laying down a funky groove, or finger picking a beautiful ballad, his playing is both impeccable and creative. Accompanying this instrumental virtuosity is a rich and expressive voice with a surprising range." Mark Schatz
To listen to Jim Hurst is to be amazed by his tasteful and flawless performances. Perfect timing and tone and his unusual picking style has enchanted guitar players from the novice to his peers. It's no surprise, then, that his musical mastery began with a musical upbringing paving the way for a winding and varied career path.
Born into a musical family, Jim spent his youth playing guitar under the influences of flat-picking greats Tony Rice, Doc Watson, George Shuffler, and Clarence White. But the finger-style playing of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed was the "turn in the road" for Jim. This amalgam of impact defined his technique.
Using his early years to hone his style, Jim's guitar work and harmony vocals for Holly Dunn's Rio Band brought his talent to both the national and international stage. Then in 1992, going electric, he played guitar with Trisha Yearwood, touring extensively and appearing on numerous radio and television shows. He also performed with Travis Tritt, and Sara Evans, whose 1998 RCA release No Place That Far features Jim's vocals and acoustic guitar work.
Craving to play more bluegrass, Jim joined Grammy-nominated Claire Lynch and The Front Porch String Band in 1995, during which time he teamed up with bassist Missy Raines. They began the duet Jim Hurst and Missy Raines while with Front Porch, but then broke off in 2000 to focus solely on their collaboration. Remaining faithful to their bluegrass roots, Jim and Missy explored other genres creating ground-breaking arrangements that wowed the bluegrass community. Their partnership resulted in two Pinecastle Records, Two and Synergy , receiving critical acclaim and garnering them IBMA Guitar and Bass Player of the Year for 2001 and 2002.
Desiring greater freedom to create his own musical path, Jim left the Claire Lynch Band in 2010 to embark on a solo career. Already seasoned with two solo recordings, Open Window and Second Son, his latest 2007 release, A Box of Chocolates, exhibits his deft guitar work and soothing vocals. His shows meet with rave reviews as he astounds his audiences with his brilliant playing yet makes people feel right at home with his humble congenial and funny persona. Jim is currently performing solo full time, both nationally and internationally, as well as teaching at camps and workshops in North America and Europe. Additionally, his highly sought-after talent has led to side projects with other bluegrass greats, most recently Rob Ickes and David Grisman. But his solo show, which allows his personal style and unique creativity to come through in spades, is what keeps his audiences mesmerized.

Santana hits 25th homer as Indians beat Twins 10-4
Minnesota has lost 12 of 13. Chris Parmelee had three RBIs and three hits, including a two-run homer in the Twins eighth that made it 8-4.
Cleveland added two more runs in the ninth on singles by Asdrubal Cabrera and Lonnie Chisenhall.
With Swarzak chased early, the Twins found some time for starters Francisco Liriano and Brian Duensing, who both fell out of Minnesota's rotation because of injuries.
Liriano, who went on the disabled list last month with a shoulder strain, pitched two scoreless innings in his first action since Aug. 25. Duensing made his second relief appearance since sustaining a strained oblique earlier this month and threw a scoreless seventh.
NOTES: Minnesota used a season-high eight pitchers. ... Cleveland GM Chris Antonetti met with reporters before the game and reiterated the team's disappointment with not making the postseason. "That was our goal at the start of the year and unfortunately we were unable to accomplish that, but I think when you step back from it and look back at the year as a whole, there were a lot of positive things that came from it," Antonetti said. "I feel like we're a step closer at the end of this season than we were at the end of last season." ... Cleveland plays two doubleheaders next week. Acta said he anticipates calling up Zach McAllister from Columbus to start Tuesday against Chicago. He also expects to activate Josh Tomlin from the DL to start next Saturday against Minnesota. ... The Indians go for the three-game sweep Sunday when they send Justin Masterson to the mound. Masterson is 11-10 and makes his 33rd start of the season. Minnesota counters with Carl Pavano, who is 8-12 this season. Pavano is 1-0 with a 2.11 ERA against Cleveland this year.

Project Hawaii is a selfless organization that takes caring to a whole new level. Having worked with homeless people in Canada I understand the enormity of the task. To be able to take that same level of dedication and empathy to the keiki is honorable. We, as caring people, should never have let this type of poverty exist, but since it does, we need organizations like Project Hawaii to right the wrongs. Thank you Project Hawaii for all your work and inspiration!

Investing in community leaders at the frontlines of change
The City of Los Angeles currently has more than 50 boards and commissions with more than 300 appointed members who oversee key Los Angeles agencies and advise the mayor on core policies and programs that impact the quality of life for local residents. Decisions taken by these agencies have a major impact on policies and projects throughout Los Angeles. Communities throughout Los Angeles often feel that their government is not transparent and that they do not have direct access to the government representatives that make decisions that directly affect their lives. Achieving representation on these boards and commissions to truly reflect the diversity of our communities is often challenging. Elected officials report that they lack qualified pools of candidates with the time, technical expertise and interest to serve on commissions. With Liberty Hill's long track record of investment in and training of leaders representing so many segments of LA's diverse communities, and with our long standing relationships with elected and appointed leaders, we are uniquely poisitioned to recruit, train and support a new generation of leaders to serve under the new mayoral administration.
Liberty Hill's Commissions Training Program will tap the Foundation's extensive networks to achieve several goals.
Appointees, trained by Liberty Hill's Commissions Training Program, will not only be prepared to meet their day to day responsibilities as commissioners, they will bring fresh thinking and innovative solutions to agency deliberations and decisionmaking and help renew confidence in government. Our next public training workshop will be announced here once details are confirmed. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Wizards are in bad shape. They need help almost everywhere, but PF is the worst:
PG: Wall/Price - They're set here assuming everyone gets healthy. They're not attached to Price though. An upgrade wouldn't be turned down.
SG: Beal/Crawford - Beal looks like a keeper. Opinions on Crawford are mixed. He is a low efficiency guy who is only comfortable with the ball in his hands, and he doesn't really have the type of game (or size) to settle into the role as a high percentage complementary player. He is getting better though and with a little more improvement in efficiency, might be able to carve out a role as a 3rd guard like a Jason Terry or Jamaal Crawford. He's certainly not untouchable and could be included in any trade, but I don't think it's the Wizards goal to actively try and replace him.
SF: Ariza/Webster/Singleton - Ariza isn't terrible, but he's not good either and he is overpaid. The Wizards would happily trade him for cap relief. Webster has been a nice find at $1.75M. He's a nice 3&D role player and a good leader in the locker room. He is a free agent this summer and the Wizards will probably try and keep him if the price is right. He's not starting material though - not for a good team. Singleton is a bust. He might hang around the league for a few more years as an 11th man, but he has no value.
PF: Booker/Vesely - Booker is a good guy and a decent 20 mpg bench player when healthy, but he is always hurt. Vesely sucks but management doesn't want to admit what a colossal mistake it was drafting him. Either could be traded. Neither have much trade value. The Wizards definitely need a serious upgrade at this position - particularly on offense.
C: Nene/Okafor/Seraphin - Nene is awesome when healthy but is nursing a foot injury. I think the Wizards intend to keep him unless they get a really good offer (young, starting-caliber talent). They won't dump him for cap room. Okafor has been rock solid lately, but at his salary, he will be shopped. It's wise for a young, rebuilding team to have one veteran big around, but you don't need two. Nene is the keeper, not Okafor. Seraphin has good potential but has been very frustrating lately. He has great touch around the basket and a very good midrange jumper, but he has a low basketball IQ leading to a lot of turnovers, and he won't take it strong and get to the free throw line. He also doesn't rebound well. The Wizards were very excited about him last year, but that excitement has waned of late. Like Crawford, he could be used in a trade, but the Wizards would be content to keep him around another year to see if he develops further.
Wall, Beal, Nene, Webster (if he can be resigned to a reasonable contract)
Don't mind keeping, but don't mind trading either:
Seraphin, Crawford
Filler with no real value:
Ariza, Booker, Vesely, Singleton, Price, Martin, Temple

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has said it is time a drastic revamp took place of English football in order to compete at big tournaments and avoid more disappointment, Sky Sports has reported.
England crashed out of the World Cup following Italy's inability to beat in form Costa Rica and exit the tournament at the earliest point since 1958 – just eight days into the competition and losing their two opening games.
England now face a battle to avoid their worst performance at a World Cup finals in the country's history, with a defeat to unbeaten Costa Rica not an option.
And Hoddle believes that if there is not a change in the coaching system of English talent then short comings will still be talking points for pundits in a decade's time.
"This is a much bigger picture of how we've got to change and what other countries have done with their youngsters," Hoddle explained.
"That's a long-term thing. That isn't about too many foreigners in our country stopping youngsters, this is a bigger picture.
"And this goes back to how we might have to change our attitude and what we desire from a young footballer of five, six, seven years old, what I call pre-coaching before they get to eight years of age and they start getting coached.
"This is about being happy with the ball."
While there have been calls for Roy Hodgson to field another youthful squad as the focus switches to qualification for Euro 2016 Hoddle believes senior players should be kept to help guide the younger generation through despite their short comings at major tournaments for their country.

Repeat after me: I – Do – Not – Own – The – Road (repeat as many times neccesary for it to sink in!)
Good grief…the number of incompetent drivers on the road, and all of them driving with the mentality that it's their grandfather's road they're driving on! It's bad enough that everywhere you go, there's never-ending construction going on, eating up half the road. Then you have these jokers who happily CRUISE in the middle of a two lane street at 30km/h barring anyone from getting past him. Puh-leez…it's as if he's SO scared someone will get his parking lot (at wherever he's going to) that he has to stop anyone from getting in front of him.
The problem with us Malaysians is that we may be a developing country, but the mentality is still that of an underdeveloped country. Terms like 'kia-su', 'kia-si' and 'kia-bo' are terms that sadly, we're not only all too familiar with, but actually PROUD that it's a term exclusive to Asians.
If you notice, the drivers actually get worse and worse as you get further away from the city. I don't even want to hazard a guess as to what the drivers are like in the boondocks of Malaysia. True, everyone should be allowed access to technology, or personal modes of transportation, but surely the training that goes with handling a vehicle should extend to road behaviour and courtesy, right?
These people are driving CARS in the same way they're riding bicycles (yes, I know it was the norm back then, but its not now!) – which is right in the middle of the road, expecting all other vehicles to give way to them. The biggest worry is that many of these are also businessmen who want to show off their affluent family business and drive increasingly bigger cars like Mercs and Beemers when the village roads are not built to handle such cars, forcing all the other smaller vehicles off the road because their 'status symbols' are compacting all the dirt unevenly, causing potholes in the 'roads'.
*grrrr....* what a way to start the week!!

Aww ... another post on sodding Malaysian drivers. Now now, calm down. It's amazing how these people drive like maniacs here, but behave like absolute angels when driving overseas. Tsk tsk tsk.
Anyways, no point getting worked up over this. If all fails, there's always the middle finger ;)

Intel is giddy with delight to be shipping its new high-performance solid state drive (SSD) into the server, workstation and storage markets. So are its customers, who came to testify at its launch Wednesday.
Great things are expected of the X-25E Extreme SATA Solid-State Drive, available immediately in 32GB capacities with 64GB due in Q1.
For one thing, the widget is supposed to make Intel's Xeon chips and the systems they're built into shine.
They won't suffer the usual performance bottlenecks associated with conventional hard drives, which Intel damns for not keeping pace with
The X-25E is supposed to increase systems performance by 100 times over hard disk drives (HDDs) when measured in I/Os Per Second (IOPS), the storage metric posed as the successor to mere gigabytes.
Application performance can finally be as high as the server CPU's.
The little 2.5-inch wonder is also supposed to slash total infrastructure and, by extension, cooling and energy costs and total cost of ownership by more than five times for enterprise applications.
According to Sun EVP John Fowler, the guy who runs Sun's systems operations, SSDs "will change the economics of enterprise data centers."
Sun says one of its four-socket quad-Xeon boxes can do 845,000 IOPS on the server side but only 1,600 IOPS on the storage end with HDDs. With the Intel drive, the storage is good for a performance-balanced 840,000 IOPS.
Rackable estimates that users of one of its container system could save a million dollars over three years.
Intel says the X-25E was designed for intense computing workloads that benefit primarily from high random read-and-write performance.
A 32GB drive is supposed to be good for 35,000 IOPS (4KB random read), 3,300 IOPS (4KB random write) and 75ms read latency. While drawing 2.4W it should deliver up to 14,000 IOPS a watt optimally.
Intel says it can hit up to 250 MB/s sequential read speeds and up to 170 MB/s sequential write speeds.
The drive was designed using 10-channel NAND architecture with Native Command Queuing, a proprietary controller and firmware good at advanced wear-leveling and low write amplification.
The 32GB drive, priced at $695 in quantities of 1,000 – figure $900-$1,000 on the street – is capable of writing up to 4PB of data over three years (3.7TB a day). The anticipated 64GB drive should be good for twice that.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

RMR Funds' Revised Merger Documents Filed With SEC
RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (NYSE Amex: RAP) today announced that it has filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to effect its combination with RMR Real Estate Income Fund (NYSE Amex: RIF).
On June 6, 2011, RIF filed a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus to effect a merger of RAP into RIF. Among other matters, that merger was conditioned upon receipt of a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, that the merger would be a tax free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. After further consultation with the IRS, the Boards of Trustees of RAP and RIF have determined to restructure the proposed combination so that RIF will now be merged into RAP, with the substantive results of the combination remaining unchanged, insofar as the surviving fund in the merger will be substantively identical to RIF. The following summarizes certain differences and similarities between the transaction proposed in the June 6 SEC filings, and the transaction proposed in the July 29 SEC filing:
- The completion of the merger is no longer conditioned upon RIF and RAP receiving a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that the merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); nonetheless, the merger is still intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
- The June 6 filing provided that newly issued common shares of RIF would be issued in exchange for common shares of RAP, with the number of shares to be issued based upon the relative net asset values (NAVs) of RAP's and RIF's common shares, respectively. The July 29 filing provides that newly issued common shares of RAP will be issued in exchange for common shares of RIF, with the number of shares to be issued based upon the relative NAVs of RAP's and RIF's common shares, respectively. Accordingly, although the direction of the merger has been reversed, the values upon which the exchange will be based remain identical.
- The June 6 filing provided that RIF would continue to focus its investments on income producing U.S. real estate securities after the merger. The July 29 filing provides that RAP will change its investment focus to income producing U.S. real estate securities after the merger, and will also change all of its fundamental and non-fundamental investment objectives, policies and restrictions to match those of RIF. In both circumstances, the surviving entity will focus on income producing U.S. real estate securities and implement its investment program using RIF's fundamental and non-fundamental investment objectives, policies and restrictions. Also, after the reorganization, RAP will change its name to "RMR Real Estate Income Fund" and adopt the "RIF" trading symbol.
- Prior to the closing of the merger, RAP will make a self tender offer for up to 20% of its outstanding common shares. The tender offer price will be RAP's NAV per common share at the time the purchase is completed. This provision has not changed, and RAP's tender offer remains conditioned on RAP's shareholders approving their merger related proposals.
- The June 6 filing disclosed that the Board of RIF had conditionally approved raising RIF's quarterly common share dividend rate by $0.02/share ($0.08/share per year). The July 29 filing discloses that, after the merger, RAP expects to begin paying regular quarterly dividends at a rate that will be the substantive equivalent of the rate currently paid by RIF, increased by $0.02/share ($0.08/share per year). Accordingly, this aspect of the proposed combination of RIF and RAP has not changed, and remains conditioned upon RAP's shareholders approving their merger related proposals and the merger being completed.
- The June 6 filing provided that the preferred shareholders of RIF would not be adversely affected by the proposed merger. The July 29 filing also provides that RIF preferred shareholders would not be adversely affected by the proposed merger, but additionally provides that RAP will exchange newly issued RAP preferred shares for the outstanding preferred shares of RIF, and that these new RAP preferred shares will have identical terms to the existing RIF preferred shares, including with respect to auction dates, rate periods and divided payment dates.
- RAP, in connection with its transformation into a fund similar to RIF, will adopt a leveraged capital structure by issuing preferred shares, as described above, and assuming RIF's currently outstanding credit facility.
- RAP will amend its investment management agreement with RMR Advisors, Inc. so that its terms are identical to those of RIF's management agreement with RMR Advisors, Inc.
The proposed merger will be submitted to a vote of RAP common shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders. The RIF and RAP boards have determined that the proposed merger is in the best interests of RIF, RAP and their respective shareholders and that RIF's preferred shareholders will not be adversely affected by the merger. No shareholders' vote by RIF will be required since RIF will be merging into a fund that is operated in the same manner. The June 6 filing previously scheduled a special shareholders' meeting on September 20, 2011 to consider the merger. RAP will make an announcement concerning the timing for its special shareholders' meeting and related matters at about the time the proxy statement/prospectus is declared effective by the SEC.

A Guide Book of United States Coins, 61st Edition (2008) (2007)
by R.S. Yeoman
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
If you collect U.S coins this is the book to have!
The Red Book for US coins is the book for listing values by grade and variety. This is one of the best sources short of a periodical (ie coin world) to keep abreast of coin prices. I also really like the optional spiral binding.
