Oshkosh Board Of Directors Unanimously Rejects Carl Icahn's Unsolicited, Inadequate, Highly Conditional And Opportunistic Tender Offer
October 26, 2012
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
On October 17, 2012, Carl Icahn launched an unsolicited, inadequate, highly conditional and opportunistic tender offer to acquire your shares of Oshkosh Corporation common stock for $32.50 per share in cash (the "Offer").
Your Board of Directors has thoroughly reviewed Mr. Icahn's Offer, in consultation with the Company's financial and legal advisors, and unanimously determined that the Offer is inadequate, undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of all Oshkosh shareholders. Many sell-side research analysts covering the Company have come to the same conclusion, and Mr. Icahn himself has even stated publicly that the Company is worth a lot more than his inadequate Offer price. Your Board is confident that the continued implementation of the Company's MOVE strategy is the best way to generate significant value for all Oshkosh shareholders.YOUR BOARD URGES YOU NOT TO TENDER YOUR SHARES INTO THE OFFER Since Mr. Icahn has taken his position in Oshkosh, he has tried to force a series of ill-considered transactions that would have either destroyed value or benefited Mr. Icahn rather than all of Oshkosh's shareholders. Last year, Mr. Icahn tried to force a merger with Navistar or a divestiture of JLG. Oshkosh's management met with him multiple times to discuss these ideas, and our Board of Directors carefully and comprehensively considered and explored these ideas, even though Mr. Icahn provided no support for them. Rather than engage in a proactive dialogue, Mr. Icahn refused to listen to Oshkosh's Board and management team, and instead ran a costly and distracting proxy contest where his candidates were rejected by Oshkosh's shareholders. Icahn's proposed merger between Navistar and Oshkosh would have been particularly disastrous for Oshkosh's shareholders. Navistar's stock price has dropped sharply this year, from a 52-week high of $48.18 on February 3, 2012, to a low of $18.59 on October 25, 2012. Mr. Icahn's idea to sell-off JLG at the bottom of a down market was similarly flawed, especially since JLG's operating income increased 251% to $229.2 million, or 7.9% of sales, in fiscal 2012, compared to $65.3 million, or 3.2% of sales, in the prior year.

'This was shot for Helmut Newton for US Vanity Fair in Monte Carlo early on in my career. It seems a lot of people were convinced that I was going to marry Prince Albert. I had no idea, we weren't even in a relationship, just friends. This explains the wedding dress and the title on the Vanity Fair cover "Princess" Claudia. I naively thought it was just the creative for the shoot.'

I am new here and a beginner at chess. Is anyone interested in this game of mine? Any tips would be appreciated, as well as criticism. Thanks.
Hello johnmusacha. I make chess videos to help the amatuer, analyzing submitted games from other players. If youd like I could add this to my queue, so it can be video analyzed. Here is my youtube channel if youd like to check out some of my videos http://www.youtube.com/user/christiansoldier007
actually my rating isn't too accurate. But that aside, my book knowledge far exceeds my actual play skill, my videos can be pretty instructive to the amatuer
I took a bit of time to analyze your game and came up with the following reccomendations:
-tactics, tactics tactics! You made a lot of calculative errors, such as when you blundered your queen on f4. In practical play, I would reccomend always trying to check twice before you make a capture to survey its ramifications.
-You might want to become familiar with some of the plans (not necessarily move orders) in the opening(s) you play. For instance, in the French defense, you want to put a lot of pressure on d4 and then make a break with f6 to attack the e5 pawn when appropriate (from my experience playing the French)
-In the endgame, you want to limit your opponent's chances, so you want to make sure a race like the one you had in the game in which white had a win with 49. Rxf2!!
-Hanging pieces: you seem to be good at winning material, but make sure your own pieces are not hanging first.
I enjoyed looking at your game and hope my analysis was helpful.

1.e4 e6 2.e5 { A rather unusual way to try and play the advance variation. Normally, white will play d4 and wait until black commits to shutting in the light squared bishop with d5. With that said, I like the look of playing b6 instead of b5 and then putting the bishop on b7 because it allows black to take advantage of white's newly weakened light squares. Nevertheless, d5 is fine as well. } 2...d5 3.d4 c5 { The most classical way to break white's pawn on e5, striking at e4. } 4.Bb5+?! { In my opinion, this is not a very good move for the following reasons. 1) It does not directly deal with black's attack on d4 in the long run
2) it gives black the opportunity to exchange the one positional weakness so far: the light squared bishop with 4... Bd7 or free it with 4... Nc6 and if 5. Bxc6+ 5... bxc6 and the black bishop will end up on a6, preventing white from castling. } 4...Bd7 5.Qd3 Qa5+ { maybe better was cxd4. While white is not forced to recapture the pawn immediately, say after 6. Nf3, black could follow up with Qb6 and pressure white's position, while when white recaptures with 7. Bxd7+, black recaptures with 7... Nxd7 and white's e pawn is under attack. The black knight will go to e7 and then g6 or c6, and black should be fine. } 6.Nc3 cxd4 7.Bxd7+ Nxd7 8.Qxd4 Bb4 { Again, the same idea of Ne7-c6 seems really strong as the e pawn will be pressured twice and the queen will be kicked as well. If white plays Nf3 and then after Nc6 Qe3 or f4, then bb4 would perhaps be stronger, with Bc6 as a different option. } 9.Bd2 Ne7 { Herein lies the disadvantage of Bb4. The a3-b4 push is coming, so black has to use a tempo on the queen. Luckily, black has a good square in c7, but Nb5 could be problematic in the future. } 10.a3 Bc5 11.Qa4 Qc7 12.Bf4 O-O { Now e5 is under attack, but Nb5 is still a problem. } 13.O-O-O { note that taking on f2 with the bishop could become awkward, but black has a solution: } ( 13.Nf3 a6 14.O-O Nc6 15.Rfe1 b5 16.Qb3 Nd4 17.Nxd4 Bxd4 { The e5 pawn looks isolated and doomed. Black has no weaknesses and is better. White will have no space advantage, black will have no weaknesses and the asset of the open c file and a good infiltration square of c4 could be vital. } ) 13...Nxe5 ( 13...Bxf2 14.Nb5 Qb6 15.Nd6 Be3+ 16.Kb1 ( 16.Bxe3 Qxe3+ 17.Kb1 Nxe5 { White is in serious trouble. The knight on d6, so good when the e5 pawn is well supported, is now lost in black's territory and will soon fall. } ) 16...Bxf4 17.Qxf4 Ng6 { The e5 pawn is gone and the knight on d6 should follow. } ) 14.Nf3 Nd3+ { This tactic would work if the queen was not on the 4th rank. Better was instead Ng6, defending your pinned piece and attacking the pinned: the f4 bishop. } ( 14...N7g6 15.Bg3 a6 { ! Now Nb5 is no longer a problem if black defends the knight on e5 with Bd6. } 16.Rhe1 Bd6 { Black is just a pawn up and should be strategically winning; white is on the pure defensive, b5 is coming along with a slaughter on the queenside. } ) 15.Rxd3 Qxf4+?? 16.Qxf4 { I lost the Queen due to an oversight. } 16...Bxf2 17.Ne5 { Another serious error. Nf5 is an ideal move to play, but your bishop on f2 is hanging! } 17...Nf5 18.Ng4 { Luckily for you, your opponent missed the opportunity to seal your fate with Qxf2 } 18...Rac8 { Your bishop is still hanging... were both of you running out of time here? } 19.Rf1 { Again, your most generous opponent neglects to capture on f2 } 19...Bb6 20.Rff3 f6 { e5 is the threat. } 21.Nb5 Rc4 { A strong move that picks up material, but white has no need to give up the queen here. } 22.Qxc4? { Here white chooses to trade a Queen for a Rook. } 22...dxc4 23.Rc3 a6 { Now the wayward knight on b5 is trapped. } 24.Ne3 { White should instead try Rxf5+ in order to then play Nd6, rounding up a pawn on either c4 or f5 (b7 is awfully risky) } 24...Bxe3+ { Picking up a piece with tempo } 25.Kb1 axb5 26.g4 { sacrificing the rook on f5 is white's best survival hope, but white is still lost at this point. } ( 26.Rxf5 exf5 27.Rxe3 Kf7 { preventing the rook from penetrating the 7th rank and winning the game. Black's extra pawns will be decisive, even the doubled ones. } ) 26...Bd4 27.gxf5 Bxc3 { Winning the exchange! } 28.bxc3 e5 { Strong move. Why not make a passed pawn? } 29.Re3 Rd8 { Good technique. Taking the open file for your rook. } 30.Re4 { Rooks are not meant to blockade. White will not last long. } 30...Kf8 31.Kb2 Ke7 32.a4 bxa4 33.Rxc4 b5 34.Rc7+ Rd7 35.Rc8 Rd8 36.Rc7+ Rd7 37.Rc8 g6 38.Rb8 gxf5 39.Rxb5 f4 40.Ra5 f3 41.Rxa4 f2 42.Ra1 Rd2 ( 42...Rb7+ { Probably a better move to give check here! --I agree, the immediate check wins. If the king runs to c1, you queen (as your analysis shows), but if Qa3 Ra7+ will exchange rooks on a1 following by queening on f1. } 43.Kc1 ( 43.Ka3 Ra7+ 44.Kb2 Rxa1 45.Kxa1 f1=Q+ ) 43...Rb1+ 44.Rxb1 f1=Q+ ) 43.Rf1 Ke6 { e4 is much, much stronger because e3 will arrive protecting everything. } ( 43...e4 44.Kc1 e3 ) 44.Kc1 Re2 45.Kb2 { ?? Kd1 will force black to give up the pawn, even though white is still lost. This is why playing e4-e3 is vital. } 45...Kd5 46.Kb3 Ke4 47.c4 Kf3 48.c5 Kg2 { Oh no! You let the c6 pawn run and should lose because of the following: } 49.c6 ( 49.Rxf2+ { !! The white pawn will now queen and black might not be able to win at all. } 49...Kxf2 50.c6 Rd2 51.c7 Kg2 52.c8=Q Kxh2 53.Qf5 { White will win, with accurate technique. } ) 49...Kxf1 50.c7 Kg1 51.c8=Q f1=Q 52.Qg4+ Qg2 { The difference from my most recent analysis is that white allowed you to queen. If white sacrificed the rook for your f2 pawn, you would have lost. }
by book knowledge I didnt mean reading books I meant understand chess knowledge. You didnt take the time to watch any of my videos did you? Oh well, I guess not everyone appreciates them.
"I'm sure that I know your level of understanding of chess"
That is what we call assumption
Fairly realistic assumption in my opinion.
You've played about 1500 games on this site.
Your online rating is a bit under 1300 (best ever 1368) with 276 games. Your live ratings are lower than 1200 (entry rating on this site)
How is your rating not too accurate with such a number of played games?
If your chess knowledge is enough to teach beginners, how can you explain that it doesn't translate into a post-beginner rating?
But hey, you consider yourself as having mastered the closed Ruy Lopez, so I guess you're probably good enough to put an engine analysis in words...
mastered being a relative term.
You people just dont understand, which is ok. I dont really enjoy arguing the the forums, so id appreciate it if you stopped. If you do decide to continue heckling me, I ask you at least watch one of my videos before you go around assuming
i wont make that deal because these videos are helping out other players.
As i said, mastered is relative, I know it well, the moves and ideas.
Sure, Christian Soldier, i'm interested in you analyzing this game on YouTube. Let me know how it turns out. Here is my hometown of Miami I know of 700 and 800 rated USCF players that make quite a lucrative living teaching chess and organizing tournaments so i wouldn't worry too much about the naysayers.
Perhaps this is part of the contemporary distrust of experts that is embodied by Wikipedia and other "crowd-sourced" projects!
thanks johnmusacha. The video will be ready today or tommorow :)
Yes thank you! I would like it super in depth also. Please do a good job as I am entering a competition next saturday in Sunny Isles Beach with a total prize of $10,000 cash! So if you could, please make the video as detailed as possible. I'm counting on you!
haha John I'll try :)
my book knowledge far exceeds my actual play skill
Hm, this strange assertion again...
As for the game...well, that was pretty tragic for White, to be a full queen up and then manage to hang it all back. Btw there should also be a ?? on Black's 14th, since that's where the real blunder occurred.
By the way, I take no credit for the following diagram/analysis/annotations. I'm just pasting willysweetkane's pgn onto a chessboard for ease of viewing:
did you watch one of the videos?
If I did do videos, which I was considering for a short time, I would only go so far as to point out the main ideas in the opening, and then point our missed tactics or more effeciant moves. but you need to stop heckling, teaching is an efficient way of learning.
So is heckling:
Ne5 is a strong square, and e6 isnt as good as you make it out to be. Also I stated in the video that development is better.
I never said it wasnt going to be a normal game, I said it wasn't going to be a normal sicilian
How is Nf6 bad?
It seems you are over exaggerating your comments. I respect your opinions, but dont try to make it sound worse than it really is.
Also you stopped there? Oh well I guess thats good so I can stop this arguing

Byon March 19, 2009
Winter's creeping to a close, and that's swell; it was 64 degrees in New York yesterday, and the sidewalks were filled with women in bright dresses. The vegetable stands, though, remained filled with the same old disappointing fare: various tiresome roots (carrots, potatoes, parsnips) and suspiciously verdant lettuces (red-leaf, Boston, Romaine), trucked in from God knows how far away, preserved by God knows what manner of pesticidal voodoo. There's not much to look forward to for a while, either. Okay, so baby greens will be arriving in a few weeks. But does anybody really get that excited by the prospect of salad? And, for that matter, am I the only guy who hears "baby greens" and envisions human infants swaddled in organic cotton, fawned over by sanctimonious eco-parents?There is, however, one bright spot: collard greens. They're in season now, and cheap. Collards are the apotheosis of winter vegetables: tough, leathery, and a little bit bitter the sea captains of the garden patch, if you will. If you're like me, you romanticized collards long before you ever ate them. All that cornbready Southern culinary revivalism (c.f. Prudhomme, Lagasse, Deen) gave them an ambrosial reputation. Then they arrived on your plate, boiled with onions and ham hocks into a mush the color and texture of sweat-soaked Army fatigues. Deeeeeee-lishus.
Well, let bygones be bygones, friends, and try collards again, cooked according to a wonderful recipe for spinach from Barbara Tropp's tremendous Modern Art of Chinese Cooking. Done this way, they're rich but not oily, earthy but not muddy, and as satisfyingly chewy as a good skirt steak. Deeeeeee-lishus for real. And good for you, to boot.
1. Cut out the center ribs of the collard leaves, discarding the ribs and stacking the remaining half-leaves like the pages of a book. Reserve one of the biggest leaves for last, lay it on the stack to cover, and roll the whole thing up like a cigar. Slice it crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips and soak the strips in water for 20 minutes to an hour. Drain in a colander, shaking dry in handfuls, or give a good whirl in the salad spinner. The drier the better: the aim is to stir-fry, not steam.
2. Peel and crush or finely dice the garlic.
3. Heat the wok or skillet on medium-high until just beginning to smoke. Add the oil, swirl to coat, and add the garlic. Stir continuously until the garlic turns the color of cardboard at the edges. Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Keep stirring. As soon as the garlic turns a more or less uniform tan (a matter of seconds, 30 or less), add a handful of collards. Stir. As soon as the first batch of collards turns bright green, add another. Keep stirring and adding until all the collards are in the pan.
4. Cook (still stirring all the while this is a good recipe for wrist strength) until the greens are fully wilted and have turned a dark, but not dull, green, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into a serving dish and enjoy. A tiny splash of vinegar (white or wine; not cider or balsamic) or lemon is a nice finishing touch if you're having fish or chicken.

Twitter, iPhone China: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Twitter after news that the micro-blogging site acquired news aggregation service Summify.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Summify, which emails users summaries of the top news stories of the day based on the most popular links on the users' social networks, has announced that it will begin scaling back operations and ultimately stop its service. New account registrations have also been disabled. Five members of Summify, including its two founders, will join the Twitter Growth team in San Francisco.
Twitter has not commented yet on what impact Summify will have on the site.
Apple (AAPL) is trending as it could be one step closer to bringing its iPhone to carrier China Telecom (CHA). An iPhone device compatible with China Telecom's CDMA networks received a license this week from China's Telecommunications Equipment and Certification Center. This comes after the recent approval granted by another Chinese regulator. A company spokesman for China Telecom, which has 123 million mobile subscribers, said negotiations have been moving smoothly with Apple, and while there is no firm timeline, the company hopes to offer the iPhone soon. China Unicom (CHU)is currently the sole and official carrier of the iPhone in the country.
Megaupload.com is another popular search. Hackers are taking on various websites, including that of the U.S. Department of Justice, after the indictment of seven people and two companies involved with file-sharing website megaupload.com. The indictment, which occurred just one day after the online protests of the Stop Online Piracy Act, alleged that the website and an associate company, Vestor Limited, caused about a half-billion dollars in copyright losses and made $175 million in profits. An hour after the indictment was announced, www.justice.gov was taken down, with cyber hacktivist group Anonymous taking responsibility. Though the website was later back online, other Web sites experienced similar cyber attacks. The FBI's Web site was temporarily down, as well as those for the Recording Industry Association of America, Universal Music and the Motion Picture Association of America. The seven individuals who were indicted have been charged on multiple counts and could face a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.

After learning that outgoing Dodgers manager Joe Torre publicly admitted to having interest in the Mets managerial job that undoubtedly will become open after this season, current Mets manager Jerry Manuel criticized Torre and questioned his integrity. It doesn't help Manuel that the underachieving Mets were eliminated from playoff contention on the same day he blasted the apologetic Torre.
Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has taken over the spotlight in New York, and not for good reasons. He's been upset since losing his starting job in the preseason, and he's asked for a meeting with team officials following his helmet-throwing incident Sunday night in Indianapolis. There had been speculation that he would request a trade, but later reports indicated that's not the case.
The Yankees will unveil a monument of George Steinbrenner at Yankee Stadium's Monument Park before Monday night's game vs. the Rays. With the Dodgers having an off day, Los Angeles manager Joe Torre and his recently announced replacement for 2011, Don Mattingly, have indicated they plan to attend the ceremony. It will be Torre's first visit to the Bronx since he left the Yankees following the 2007 season after reportedly being offended at a low-ball offer from management. "There are no issues with Joe Torre and the Yankees," general manager Brian Cashman said.
The University of Massachusetts gave Michigan a scare Saturday, but the 20th-ranked Wolverines escaped with a 42-37 win. UMass jumped out to a 17-7 first-half lead, but Michigan scored two touchdowns just before the half and ran off 28 straight points to take a 35-17 advantage. The Minutemen rallied to within five with just over two minutes remaining, but couldn't come up with an onside kick.
In Wednesday night's Yankees-Rays game, Derek Jeter gave an Oscar-worthy performance faking injury after a pitch hit his bat and not his arm as he indicated. At USA Today, Mike Lopresti continues the debate about whether Jeter is a cheater or a gamer. In the New York Post, Mike Vaccaro writes that it wouldn't have been that big a deal if Jeter hadn't oversold the call and accepted medical treatment.
Jets receiver Braylon Edwards was the subject of some critical comments from Joe Namath after New York's Monday night loss to the Ravens. The former quarterback said Edwards "can't catch the ball ... or rarely does. He has as many drops as he does catches." On Wednesday, Edwards responded. While he said he respected the Jets legend, Edwards was not pleased, saying: "Tell him next time he's here, stop by my locker and tell me that." And in other Jets news, coach Rex Ryan said he volunteered to speak to the NFL about the Ines Sainz incident.
On Wednesday, the Heisman Trophy Trust announced that the 2005 Heisman Trophy -- forfeited by former USC running back Reggie Bush on Tuesday -- will remain vacated.
CBS Sports NFL analyst Shannon Sharpe announced he will "step aside" from his broadcasting duties while a domestic situation is addressed. Last week, Sharpe had a restraining order taken out against him for allegedly forcing a woman to have sex with him, stalking her and making multiple threats on her life. A hearing has been scheduled Monday in an Atlanta court.
Columnist Jay Mariotti is being charged with seven misdemeanors in connection with an incident involving his girlfriend last month. The writer, suspended by AOL FanHouse after his arrest, will be arraigned Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom on two counts of domestic violence with injury, two counts of domestic violence, one count of grand theft, one count of false imprisonment and one count of vandalism for allegedly taking his girlfriend's purse.
Jets coaches and players are being investigated for inappropriate behavior toward a female reporter who was at the team's practice Saturday. Ines Sainz of Mexico's TV Azteca was at practice to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez when Thurman and others allegedly overthrew passes during drills so the balls would land near her. After practice, when Sainz entered the locker room, several players reportedly hooted and hollered.

These photos are amazing, and I want to go ride each of those trails...the problem is that I don't know what trails they are. It's great that you tell me which city they are located in, but in articles like this one it would be nice to know which trail the photo is taken on. This way, I'm not spending days trying to figure out how to get to each location.

Taylor named national police explorer finalist
Explorer Captain Jordan Taylor of the Henrico Police Division's Explorer Post 608 is one of three finalists for the National Youth Representative for Law Enforcement Exploring. Taylor was selected as a finalist from entries made from Police Explorers across the United States.
Taylor has been an explorer with Henrico Police since 2007 and is currently serving as the post president. He will graduate from Hermitage High School in June and plans to attend Randolph Macon University this fall majoring in international studies with a minor in political science. Jordan has received numerous awards including Explorer of the Year in 2009 and he was one of four named Henrico County Outstanding Youth in January 2012. In addition, he is the treasurer of the National Honor Society and president of the BETA Club at Hermitage.
If Taylor is selected as the National Youth Representative, he will represent over 33,000 explorers and 8,245 adult volunteers throughout the United States. He will be expected to provide input and assistance as needed to the National Committee with regard to Law Enforcement Exploring programs, policies and resource materials. Additionally, he would represent Law Enforcement Exploring at meetings, functions, activities and other events.
The National Youth Representative travels throughout the U.S. and meets with Explorer Posts and other individuals to spread information about Law Enforcement Exploring and try to boost membership nationally.
Taylor will attend the National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference in Fort Collins, Co. in July where the representative will be named.

The psychedelic stained-glass window over the altar (and even above the electric sanctuary lamp) caught the feel of Christ Church Unity pretty well: psychedelic, but still stained glass. Modern spirituality swirled with tradition. More examples: heavy velveteen curtains hanging behind a marble altar bearing brass candlesticks and cross but surrounded by folksy, brightly colored posters celebrating NEW LIFE (Now Energize Willingness Laugh Intensity Fasting Embrace) — posters that were ...

Driving away from the wreck of the day
You told me you don't love me
My heart shattered into a thousand shards the night you left me broken on my basement floor. I pretend that I'm better now, but the truth is I don't know myself anymore. I've been hiding behind fake smiles and false promises far too long to go back now. If I pretend that I'm okay, everyone will gladly look the other way, no one wants to see that something's wrong when we promise we're okay. So tonight I'll make a hundred more promises I don't intend to keep. Tomorrow I'll be better and tonight I'll get some sleep. Yesterday was worthless, today is still a blur, the next three days will be worth while and Saturday night I'll live life like it's going out of style. I'll let myself breathe again when I forget about you. I've been waiting to exhale for so long I'm not sure I can remember how. I'll try, it's just another lie to get myself by, but I'll try. My heart is so many shades of black and blue, but I think the bruises fade each day. Maybe I'm just lying to myself again, but I think I just might be okay. You kept me so high the whole time that now I've reached my all-time low. My recovery process is going slow, but I'm getting there. By this time nexy year I'll be breathing on my own.
So i left school at lunch and went to counselling today. It was pretty terrible actually, I cired a lot, I let everything out for once in my life (other than in my writing). I guess I felt pretty relieved after it was all over, but it was still horrifying. I have to call the doctor and make an appt. to get a prescription. My counsellor, Mary, told me that I'm very talented and that I'm definitely going somewhere. I showed her some of my writing that I just happened to have in my pocket, she liked it a lot. She told me that she's suffered from depression since she was a child and told me some of her experiences with guys and family and I feel I can really relate to her. I have complete faith in my recovery.
i think i just did something really stupid...maybe? who cares? not me, not you.post a comment
She's all you wished you never were. She's all, everyone's hidden fear. She's all about moral and staying strong, and holding on to what she worked so hard to believe. She's all, afraid of crying at night. She's all, sick of fluorescent lights. She's all about sadness but a beautiful face, and she seems to not hate anyone and she's everyone's saving grace when they need her. She's all about pouring out her heart and her life and giving herself up for anyone, when they need her. She's all you ever took for granted. She's all, kind to you cause she can't remember. She's all alone in this life, but she could be the knife who cuts the rope around your neck, cause she's all, she's all...everything funny and cool. She'll make you laugh until you drool. She's the greatest person you'd care to make fun of, but you don't recognize, she could save you from your own demise. And she's all, she's all, she's all kind because she can't keep track of all the people who have said things behind her back. Oh yeah, cause she's all you wished you never were. But you see, she's all, better than you. Cause she's all, keeping it through it all.post a comment
I believe in angels and miracles of things felt that can't be seen.
Dark skies through white lace curtains
I listened to you talk for hours
I love the song I wrote for Jeremy. It's so pretty and I love to sing it and to play it. I really want to show him, like play it for him, but i'm SO scared! I'm shy and embarrassed and I think I'll screw up or it won't sound good when i do it for him. Oh well...somday....
I just got home from my first day at work. It was pretty tiring. Really busy, constantly scooping ice cream and my wrist and hand really hurt, and I had to bag fiddleheads. Haha....kinda shitty but hey I get paid for it. I also had to carry around big tubs of ice cream and change them in the ice cream freezer and stuff.
I'm so happy, I'm just so happy! I'm shaking real bad. I can now call Jeremy my boyfriend, and I swear I have never been happier in all my life. :D:D:D:D:D! I have to go cause I'm too happy to just sit here.
A tear drop slides down my cheek, followed by hundreds more creating pools of ambition. Fragments of memories from over the past year swim in those tears. Lost hopes and dreams join hands with those memories. My face is soaked with fear, hatred, love and pain. My bloodshot eyes prove I am human. When they dry up my eyes become deserts of quicksand. I'm being sucked into a place I know nothing about. I enwrap myself with any ounce of safety I can find, using it like a blanket. But it covers only half of my exposed soul. I fall backward waiting for someone to catch me. There's no one there. So I use my strength to stand back up. Then I look behind me, and I see my future. I see the truth, and the truth is, I don't need someone to catch me if I can catch myself. I am the only reliable person I have. Then I move a cushion behind me so I won't fall so hard anymore.
Sometimes i feel like a broken fairytale, sipping my coffee in the pouring rain. I sometimes forget to breathe when i think of everything so wrong. I sit alone, twirling my thin spilt end hair. I'm a mess and i can't get it together, I can't seem to stay content with what i have, i can't seem to accept that this is my life. I need my sickness as an excuse. My pretty little words don't seem to convey the thoughts in my head. So i sing along to someone elses song, losing myself in the music. I always overanalize everything so i end up thinking unclear. I wake up late at night wishing i lived a life that made me cinderella. In my beautiful silk and lace comes so much deceit. And when i cry these soft tears it breaks me apart inside. And really i have no reason to be thinking like this or taking up this space because everything i feel means nothing, everything i taste is plain. Sometimes i feel like a twisted girl, a blonde plastic barbie, used for pleasure or thrill. And i sip on my juice box. Whiskey on my breath. Night after night i lay in bed, repenting my sins and thinking of every little mistake i've ever made. In my beautiful silk and lace i'm kissing my disgrace.
I'm at my nana's. She took me shopping and I got a beautiful white lacey short skirt and a white tube dress. They're both absolutly magnificient, and I can't wait to wear them. I just got back from visiting my nanny's grave, it was sad. Right now I'm downloading some music to listen to, the only music on this computer is gospel music! Oh and I found some Anna Nalick and some Jeremy Fisher! Oh and some Jewel and Cake. :( listening to these sad songs make me miss someone.... Well in case you've failed to notice, in case you've failed to see, this is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees...and these foolish games are tearing me apart. Anyway, I'll write later. Bye
I'm your indecisive, loud, and dizzy cloud.
Lately I've been thinking
Make free with me
I'm so bored and tired, I just want to run to Rothesay and pounce on Jeremy and wake him up! Hehe, I had such an amazing sleep last night. But my dad woke me up early...like 7..and I cried haha. Last night I had a very happy night with Jeremy. We watched a very good and sexy movie, Wild things 3, and yeah it just made me really happy that he was here. :):):) I was pissed that my mom made him leave though and I'm suer jealous that he got to go to that big party out in Bloomfield...but there's nothing I can do about it. I heard Myles went and drove Kelsie home and they drove into a ditch haha.
Jeremy, je t'aime <3

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I own a small business that sells a natural product made of 100% organic cotton which has been made in the USA. I wanted to ship my product in recycled paper envelopes and found these on Amazon. In spite of some negative reviews, I took the plunge and bought the item I'm reviewing - Ampad Recycled Envirotech Natural Brown Catalog Envelopes 110 per box.I knew I made a mistake the moment I opened the box. These are very light weight envelopes, poorly made and poorly glued. I am sending a high quality product out in an envelope I don't trust to remain intact throughout the shipping process. The flap is 9" long and has two 3" glue spots on it. The ends and middle don't have glue at all. And worse yet the glue doesn't stick well. The bottom of the envelope has a 1" overhand that is glued back onto the envelope but it doesn't appear safe. The flaps on both ends don't seem well attached. The top of the center back of the envelope is completely unglued to a distance of 1 1/4 inches! The place where the 2 parts of the envelope come together in the back is 3/4 inch deep which seems shoddy.Overall the envelope is flimsy. I always reinforce the middle back, the bottom and the flap area with shipping tape before I send this envelope out.That adds quite a bit of weigh to my shipment enough to put me in a higher shipping category. I will use these up and then never buy this product again. The best way to describe this envelope is to say that it looks like a paper bag you might get from the grocery store. Not a nice heavy paper bag but the flimsy one that breaks apart when you're carrying eggs.This is what is stamped on the envelope. Recycled Paper 100% and in smaller print 40% post consumer waste. Envirotech.This might be OK if you're sending unimportant papers. It works for me because my product is light weight and we benefit from sending it out 1st Class Package rate which moves as fast as Priority Mail. But as a business owner who produces a quality item and for whom presentation is important, the envelope falls way short of my expectations and needs

Honor Oak Road safety action 6 July 2014Posted by George Crozier in Streets.

This story appears in the July – August 2014 Forest Hill Focus
In a response to a petition raised by the Tewkesbury Lodge Residents' Association in conjunction with Lib Dem campaigners Alex Feakes and Philip Peake and presented by them to Lewisham Council last year, the Council have agreed to introduce measures to make Honor Oak Road safer for pedestrians and traffic alike.
Many residents had raised concerns with Alex and Phil about the speed of traffic along the road, particularly the section between Canonbie Road and Forest Hill Road, which includes Fairlawn and Francesca Cabrini primary schools. "Action on this issue is long overdue, but it's good news that the council is finally getting its act together," commented Alex.
The proposed measures include extending 'guard railing' along the pavement to protect pedestrians, footway bollards to prevent obscurement caused by pavement parking, and reinstatement and enforcement of the 'school zone' markings outside Fairlawn school.
Separately, the council has added Honor Oak Road to this year's carriageway resurfacing programme, and is also considering calls by Canonbie Road residents to reduce rat running through use of no entry signs and barriers at the junction with Honor Oak Road, though like the footway proposals this will depend upon available funding.
Wells Park Road murder – more needs to be done to tackle serious youth violence locally 6 July 2014Posted by George Crozier in Police, Young people.
Tags: Sydenham, Wells Park Road
add a comment
This is an extended version of a story which appears in the July – August 2014 Forest Hill Focus
We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of James Hunter, who was murdered in Wells Park Road, Sydenham, on May 31st. Residents told us of their worries about crime in precisely this area. It is really important that these concerns are taken seriously and, now that Sydenham Police Station is closed, that there is a local and well advertised place where people can talk to the police.
Lib Dem campaigner Margot Wilson said: "I have been in contact with the local police about what plans they have to patrol the area and what early intervention projects there are. They have told me that they are currently in discussion with the council about further events around youth engagement in the area following feedback from two meetings at the TNG in the days after the murder. I am concerned that while there are projects to counteract serious youth violence in others parts of London, there appear to be none in Lewisham."
Duwayne Brooks, Lib Dem candidate in the election for Mayor of Lewisham, described his heartache at being told of another death among our young people and offered his condolences to the families:
"For years, I have been trying to highlight the issue of serious youth violence in our borough but it has been constantly denied and I have been continuously blocked. I tried to implement an early intervention procedure to help target those nine to thirteen year olds who get caught with the wrong groups. I was told it's not needed. Now we have another unnecessary death where a number of families will be in pain for something that was and is preventable."
The Focus Team had contacted Lewisham Homes about the possible gating of blocks on Wells Park Road earlier in May, after the issue was raised by a local resident we called on. Lewisham Homes told us that they do not currently have funding to install door entry systems. They can only repair and maintain existing systems. However they do intend to work more closely with residents through consultation to agree improvements to estates. This plan is in the very early stages and subject to approval and funding, but if it goes ahead residents will be invited to put forward their suggestions.
The Focus Team have written to Lewisham Council requesting a 24 hour monitored CCTV camera be placed on Wells Park Road. While this would be council-controlled and funded the police would also have access to it and it would provide a valuable supplement to their patrols in the area.
The police have been working on expanding neighbourhood watch schemes generally in and around Forest Hill. If you would be interested in getting involved let us know and we can pass your details on.
Residents in the Sydenham part of the ward should be aware that the Police have drop in centres at the Sainsbury's Savacentre, Southend Lane, Sydenham, SE26 4PU, on Wednesday 7-8pm, Thursday 7-8pm and Saturday 2-3pm. They can otherwise be contacted at Catford Hill Police Station.
Extra buses on the way 6 July 2014Posted by George Crozier in Transport.
Tags: Buses, TfL
add a comment
This story appears in the July – August 2014 Forest Hill Focus
Some good news from TfL for our campaign against bus overcrowding. They are laying on four extra services a day on the 176 route at peak times.
Focus Team member George Crozier asked Lib Dem London Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon, who is Deputy Chair of the Assembly's Transport Committee, to take up overcrowding on the 176 and the 185 with TfL, and whether there is a need for additional buses at peak times. This followed a survey which identified the two routes as among the ten most overcrowded in the whole of London.
Caroline and her office energetically took up the issue and we have now been told by TfL that they will be running additional services on the 176 towards central London during the morning rush hour and in the opposite direction in the evening rush hour. Buses will now be running every seven minutes rather than every eight minutes on during these peak times.
TfL told Caroline they could not "provide a precise timescale at present, but would like to assure Mr Crozier that we are working hard to implement this proposal as quickly as possible, subject to receipt of costs from the operator and approval."
On the 185, TfL say they are still reviewing the data, and depending on the outcome will look at undertaking additional surveys or providing extra buses if required.
We will keep you informed of developments on both routes.
Council election blunder – wrong results declared in Forest Hill 2 July 2014Posted by George Crozier in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Lewisham Council have admitted they miscounted local election votes in Forest Hill in May, resulting in 1708 votes being counted twice and the wrong results being officially recorded.
The blunder became clear when the results were published and the number of votes cast came to more than three times the number of ballot papers issued, when three is the maximum number of legal votes anyone can cast.
Lewisham Liberal Democrats raised this with the council after it was drawn to our attention by a local resident.
At a hastily convened meeting with candidates and their agents the council's chief executive conceded that a mistake had been made. He explained that what had happened was that two groups of counters had been working to a single tally sheet for recording the votes they counted. One group entered their data and it went to the accountants for entering in the official spreadsheet. The tally sheet was then recalled so the other group's figures could be added. The updated totals were then given to the accountants who added them in. The first group's totals were therefore added in twice. The result was that 1708 votes – about one in six of all votes cast – were accounted for twice.
George Crozier commented:
"It beggars belief that a basic error on this scale could take place without the Returning Officer or any of his staff spotting it. Candidates and their agents watch closely at the count to make sure votes go onto the right piles and are recorded correctly. But there is very little they can do when correctly recorded tally sheets are entered into the computer twice.
"It is very hard to change a result once it has been declared. The council could easily have faced the expense of taking themselves to an electoral court if this error had changed who was elected. As it is, because it did not change who won, we have accepted that rather than face unnecessary expense the council can let the originally declared result officially stand, even though it includes a technically impossible mismatch between ballot papers and votes. However we are pressing the council to publish the actual number of votes cast too so that the people of Forest Hill have their votes accurately recorded."
The council chief executive has promised us that the council will put safeguards in place to ensure there can be no repetition of this error.
Margot Wilson welcomed this news:
"The council must take action to make sure a blunder like this can never happen again. A simple system of stamping tally sheets as having been entered into the computer would stop them being entered twice. A check of the number of votes cast in a ward against the number of ballot papers included in the count to make sure they are not incompatible would have shown immediately what had happened.
"It is important for the people of Lewisham to be able to have confidence in their election results and in the council's ability to count them accurately."

Sadly, nothing could be of greater concern than the murder of James Hunter this week in Wells Park Road. We offer our condolences to his family and friends.Margot knows something of their pain as this week was the birthday of her own murdered daughter. Residents told us of their worries about crime in precisely this area. It is really important that these concerns are taken seriously and, now that Sydenham Police Station is closed, that there is a local and well advertised place where people can talk to the police.
This evening there will be a community meeting at the TNG centre in Wells Park Road from 6-7pm.

We should like to thank all those voters who supported the Libdem candidates in Forest Hill. You .gave us one of our best results in the Lewisham Council elections.
Unfortunately the Labour party now has only one opponent on the Council so is free to appoint new Cabinet members (however vague their titles) and raise their own expenses. We will continue to hold them to account notwithstanding.
We are proud that we fought on local issues. Building on the work done by our former Councillors, Philip Peake and Alex Feakes,we shall continue to champion the concerns of people in Forest Hill and to work with individuals and groups to make the ward an even better place.

Tree Trouble 5 May 2014Posted by margotwilson in Uncategorized.
add a comment
- The council may benefit from a national government scheme in the future, although at present there is only a scheme to plant trees outside towns.
- Residents can join together and bid for money at the local assembly to plant street trees.
- An individual resident can bypass the assembly process and pay for a tree.

I had high hopes for this jacket, but it really doesn't work that well. The heat the jacket generates is noticeable, but barely - and it doesn't last that long. A better bet would be to go with a nice down insulator jacket or vest like Stoic makes. Those cost less, and work much better.
