This is fairly decent; it smells good and it kinda exfoliates. It doesn't break me out but at the same time it doesn't clear anything up. Although it's supposedly 'brightening' it had absolutely no brightening effect whatsoever. Wouldn't recommend or repurchase. If you want something slightly exfoliating for the morning that still gives you a glow I would highly recommend Lush-Let the good times roll :)
I absolutely love this product. I have some acne problems and oily skin. My skin was the clearest it's ever been using this product, and even felt quite soft and moisturised after use. Great scent, lots of exfoliating beads. I'm trying the shine control next but would definitely repurchase and recommend
I don't know maybe its my skin type or something , but this product does not suit me at all.
It made my skin super dry, did not cleanse it properly, irritated it, and as a result I had to fight with oily and blemished skin!!!
I liked the smell of this scrub and found that it did brighten and energise my skin,but it really dried my skin out.I also experienced redness which was not pleasant!I didn't finish the bottle and would never re-purchase it again unfortunately :/ 9
Cute packaging and the fact that is was yellow and sparkly drew me in even more. The fact that it had lemon, papaya and caffeine in it was impressive. So of course I had to buy it. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It smells AMAZING! It`s a lemony, citrus smell. I actually hate those scents but this one smells so good. Definitely says in the name 'Morning Burst' because it leaves a cool refreshing feeling but it isn`t too harsh that you can`t use it at night. I use it night and day because it`s a good pick me up for the morning and it cools me down a relaxes me for the night. Does the job well and you can really feel it cleaning your skin. The ONLY downside is it can be a bit drying, nothing a good moisturizer can`t fix though :) Love this product!
love it
wish they had a moisturizer to match this too
definitely put some lotion on afterwards, its kinda drying
it does brighten the skin and makes it feel pretty soft after you wash with it
I use it as a body wash too with my scrubby gloves on, then moisturize and my skin looks super glowy after wards, especially my legs
no other scrub has made my face or body look this.......um, I guess glowy is the word.
And it smells soooooooooooooooo good.

I'm about to finish my 3rd bottle and I will absolutely repurchase. I don't care about the smell (mild/lemony) or it's ability to "wake me up" (I have espresso for that). I use this because it keeps my skin color even and toned. It really does keep it looking "bright" and provides gentle exfoliation.
I'm African American and I've noticed this in a few of my girlfriends showers who have similar skin colors. I think if you are brown skinned you should give this a try. Get the one in the squeeze bottle (as pictured) not the pump bottle. The product in the pump bottle doesn't exfoliate at all and I gave that one away to my sister--she used it up so it wasn't a total waste.

My skin is mostly normal but dry round my chin and oily on my nose and forehead! And I do get a few spots and this really helps! It helps them go down quickly and Isn't to harsh but you feel super clean after using it! It smells amazing and really wakes you up! All time favourite wash/scrub

Overall I didn't really like this product, however, I did very much like the smell. Like it claims, it has a mix of lemon and papaya that creates a unique and delicious scent but I would not repurchase it just for the scent. I think it did a good job of removing dirt and oil from my face but it didn't seem to make any noticeable difference to my skin. I would agree that it would be a good scrub for any skin type, however, it just doesn't deliver what it claims to. It didn't brighten my skin in any way. Important to note is that it didn't at all cause any negative affects.
Binned this. It has some pros, but for me the cons totally outweighed them.
+ Smells great
- Stripped my face
- Dried out my skin like nobodies business
- 'Bursting beads' definitely do not burst...
- Nor do they exfoliate
- Left a film over my face. Yuck!
I really wanted to like this. I begrudge changing my facewash because my skin is so sensitive and prone to breakouts if the wrong ingredient touches my skin. However, I've gone back to Amie's Radiant Dawn facewash. The only reason I changed in the first place was because Amie isn't as easily accessible as a commercial product.

Love love love this foundation. I have very dry skin and want medium to full coverage. This product is buildable so use as much or as little as you want. Get samples on her website to try first. I got wheat and sand and have gone with wheat all over and a little sand color under the eyes. My fine limes have disappeared with Paula's products!

I wish I have something nice to say about all Paul's foundation. Why? The color is pasty, rather chalky & un-natural looking, not that it looks pink or peachy, but just don't look natural overall. The only time I will wear her foundation is in a candle-lit setting. The texture is pasty, like a sunscreen. yuccck!

I love this foundation, the coverage is perfect for me and leaves a dewy soft finish. I don't find it to be masky although it comes out thick.
I purchased the color "nude" and found it to be perfect. One thing I really like is that over the course of the day it doesn't settle into fine lines, it keeps the skin looking very radiant.

Edited review: This foundation is thick in texture and goes on feeling a little greasy. The coverage is on the sheer side. For a flawless look Id still want concealer since it doesn't cover that much. I do like the SPF15 but in order to get it, you have to apply generously, and since this is a foundation I think I would end up looking a little too made up. The colours run very light: "Sand" in this is too light for me, lighter even (and a touch less yellow) than Laura Mercier Oil-Free in Warm Ivory. I wish the colours were more consistent across the range of foundations. No smell, which is a plus. Packaging is handy yet hardly glamorous. I will try a darker shade, but I suspect that the Best Face Forward will suit my combination skin better than this - this stuff feels like it may clog my pores in the long run. I won't buy this since I much prefer the Sheer Tint (which I CAN apply liberally without looking made up).

Age: 44-55 Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Brown Eyes: Hazel
I have repurchased this product three times. It gives a sheer, dewy finish to normal-to-dry skin, has no fragrance, and has a good SPF. The finish requires that you use a concealer if you have anything major to hide. My only complaint is the cheesy white plastic squeeze bottle. It is nice that in stands on the cap so that the product falls to the tube opening easily, but that also means than the neck of the tube gets gooey with product. I also use Paula's powder, when I go to work or to a special event, and this gives another layer of coverage and a more matte finish -- also lovely.

FINALLY a foundation that works for me.
My HG (believe it or not - Maybelline Smooth Result) had been DC'd last year.
I've been searching high & low, have spent a lot of money, esp. at Clinique. Nothing has worked for me.
This is kind of thick, but yet not "masky" and a little goes a very long way.
Doesn't settle into fine line, or pores.
UPDATE: I bought a full size of this, and it doesn't seem the same as the sample. It now seems to be a bit drying on me. I will keep & use for summer though.
The price is right too.
It was nice to order a few sample packets to try it.
Me: 40 y.o, fine lines, very sensitive, flaky, tight, yet oily skin with redness on nose & chin.
Can you say - AWFUL skin? So this was quite a find for me.

This foundation is thick and hard to spread. I only use foundation where i need to cover up some redness, but if my skin happens to be dry at all this foundation accentuates every flake i have. However, I'm giving it 3 lippies because when used sparingly it works well as an undereye concealer with a nice titanium dioxide based spf. This is what i'm using it for now, but i won't repurchase when i run out.

I tried this in Light Cream, which was a perfect match for my skin. Because of its moisturizing base, the foundation blends beautifully. The smell is a bit odd for those used to fragranced products; neither good nor bad, it is similar to L'Oreal Paris' True Match Superblendable Makeup and becomes undetectable almost immediately after application. This foundation also has an excellent titanium dioxide sunscreen. Although the product claims to have medium coverage, I would say that the coverage starts out somewhere between light and medium and must be layered to truly achieve medium coverage. Also, I would prefer it if this product would come in a pump because the twist-cap, plastic squeeze tube application must be monitored to avoid a mess. Those that break out should not use this because it is too creamy for that skin type and contains titanium dioxide.

This is not a woodworking problem -- the screw holds together the case of a chainsaw -- but woodworking seems to be the most suitable topic to post in. The challenge is that the screw is recessed in a well about 1/2" deep. It's a common design for tool cases with a left and a right half held together by screws. This makes the standard extraction technique impractical; inserting a drill bit in the well blocks the view so that I can't see what I'm doing. It makes most of the alternatives I've read about impossible, even in theory. Have you successfully removed a screw in this situation? How did you do it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd use a small drill bit, bore about 1/4 to 3/8 inch into the screw head and use an 'easy-out' to extract the screw. The instructions that come with the easy-out will suggest a drill bit size. Before doing this, though, are you positive you are using the correct size screwdriver? A #1 phillips will often work on a #2 sized screw, but when either is a bit worn it can result in slippage. Assuming you are dealing with a phillps head screw, make sure you are using a screwdriver of the correct size that has a good condition tip. Also, a good deal of inward force onto the screw head will give the screwdriver a better chance of getting a purchase. |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 15:23
Would it help to put a wide rubber band between the screwdriver and the screw, and then apply that "good deal of inward force" so that you stretch out the rubber band to be thinner? The idea is that the rubber band is supposed to create a grippy surface. I've seen that suggested on Pinterest, but I don't know if it works. Then slow, small turns--think 1/32 of an inch or something. I find that to help w/ stripped screw heads; as long as I don't try to do the whole thing at once, I can actually get somewhere. Eventually, LOL! |
As a mechanic, I had access to or owned many special tools. The first one I would reach for in your situation would be an impact screwdriver---like the one on the left in the link(manual operation) Those are reversible, but are mainly used for removal of stubborn screws/bolts. If that failed, using a small drill bit, followed by a larger one that will remove the head of the screw would be choice #2. Once the head is gone, the case is able to be separated and heat applied judiciously to use a pair of vise grip pliers to remove the screw shank. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Impact screwdriver

Only the unenlightened would pave over the last waterfront green space: The county wants us to vote yes on bond issue #8 and spend $275 million on two massive museums in Bicentennial Park, hijacking the last green space on the water in the heart of our city. This is the exact opposite of what other, more enlightened, cities are doing by enhancing waterfronts and parks, not paving them over.
The proposed fraction of the park that would remain green will be no more inviting than an empty soccer field. This park, referred to by some as Miami's Central Park, should be made hospitable and useful.
Why will it not be like Central Park? Because that great park covers 600 acres and features places for all kinds of people to stroll, have picnics and birthday parties, attend concerts and plays, rollerblade and jog, play ball, loll on benches and grass, and walk dogs and babies. It has fountains, a band shell, a carousel, lakes and bridges, restaurants, a zoo, and carriage drives and horse trails.
Bicentennial Park is just 29 acres. But at least it could have trees and foliage to shade people in this semi-tropical city where shade is essential. Miami's citizens do not need a place to stagger around in the hot sun with a view of two huge museum buildings, the ugly and intrusive American Airlines Arena, and an overbuilt Watson Island. Keep Bicentennial Park green and let the museums build elsewhere -- and at their own expense.
Judith Hancock Sandoval
Museums Belong in Bicentennial Park
Only the clueless think we need more downtown park space: After reading in the "The Bitch" that the Urban Environment League opposes the Miami Art Museum's plans for Bicentennial Park ("Museums to the Max," September 30), and also in response to Steve Hagen's letter (September 9) on the same subject of museums in the park, I just had to respond.
What's so frustrating about this issue is that there are any number of good, civic-minded people who have the best of intentions but nary a clue. Anyone who wants solely parkland in this downtown space completely misunderstands the nature of our city. We don't need park space in this city in the way many other cities do. A beautiful, landscaped "museum park" on Biscayne Bay is a far better use of the space, and passage of bond issue #8 on the November 2 ballot will be an important step in cementing Miami as one of the world's great cities.
Mr. Hagen, among others, gripes that Miami "ranks last among all major U.S. cities in terms of park space per resident." But if you look at Miami-Dade County as a whole, we simply don't need a large green space downtown. When I think of great city parks, Central Park in New York and London's extensive park systems spring to mind. In those two cities the parks are essential. Both are large, dense urban centers whose residents have no other reasonably accessible outdoor recreational areas. In neither city are yards or beaches readily available.
Here we have one of the world's great beaches in Miami Beach, and abundant family beach and recreational areas on Key Biscayne and at Haulover Park, to name just two. Most people in Miami also live in residences that have yards or in condos that have pools. In other words, once I turn off my TV and walk outside, I have dozens of options, from a barbecue in my backyard to watching the models on South Beach to sunning myself on Key Biscayne to playing sports in any of the numerous ball fields sprinkled all over the county. If I'm going to get my lazy ass in a car and drive to a recreation spot, why in the world would I want to drive downtown and sit in a park overlooking Biscayne Bay when I can go to the beach and actually go in the water?
Lucky for us, our civic leaders seem to have their priorities in order on this. Rather than build a park no one will use (for legitimate purposes anyway), we have a plan to build a "museum park" with an improved Museum of Science and Miami Art Museum (MAM) in that public space. I'm not a parent or a science wonk, so I'll leave arguments for the science museum to them, but let's look at the need to improve MAM.
Considering the size of our metropolitan area, our phenomenal location as the hub of the Americas, the solid local art scene, a great arts school (New World School of the Arts), and plenty of rich folks with money to burn on art, it is absurd that we don't have a world-class art museum. The current MAM has a major problem: its facility. It's not that there isn't a decent staff or a start on a good collection, but as it stands, the museum is far, far too small and its location is awful.
A larger facility will immediately improve the museum. Not only will it be able to show a larger part of its collection, but it would provide space to establish permanent exhibitions. For example, there is simply no reason why we shouldn't have a great, permanent overview of Latin American art. Additionally the establishment and display of a larger permanent collection is incentive for local rich folks to donate or loan their private collections to the museum. If I were a rich collector, I wouldn't want to donate an expensive piece of art just to have it sit in a basement. And not inconsequentially, a striking new building right on the bay will be a great tourist draw. Don't think art puts fannies in the seats? Just look at the success of Art Basel Miami Beach.

We currently have a 36" Jenn-Air gas cooktop which was existing in the house we live in. We are considering switching to an induction cooktop. I like the GE Profile, but have a couple of questions. (1) the installation manual gives instruction for installing a downdraft. But, we don't have a downdraft. We currently have an OTR microwave but plan to replace it with a regular hood. Are we unable to have a GE Profile induction cooktop since we don't have downdraft? (2) I read the cutout dimensions which seem fine. However, the install manual says that it requires 2" min. clearance to sidewall from cut-out. I don't have that. There is zero clearance between the side wall of the bottom cabinets. Currently there is no clearance at all between the cutout for the Jenn-Air and the side walls. The side wall on the right side could probably be moved. Where it is close to an angle on the cabinet so there is "empty" space to the right of the side wall so it could be moved 2 inches. The side wall on the left side is an issue since there are drawers in the lower cabinet so I can't just move that side wall. Has anyone dealt with anything like this? Edit: The GE requires a cutout of 33 7/8" by 19 1/8". I don't actually think it will work for us. The cutout for our Jenn-Air is 34 7/8" x 20 13/16 +- 1/16". So the GE won't work since we already have a cutout larger than the GE. Does anyone know of an induction cooktop that will fit in the Jenn-Air cutout but does not require 2" side wall clearance beneath the cabinet? |

Have a look at the Thermador model CIT365KM (they also other similar models). The installation inst. show a cutout of 34 3/4"-34 7/8" x 19 7/8"-20". The thickness is 4 1/8", which includes 1" clearance under, but I don't see any further side clearance needed under. It needs top countertop space of 2" in rear and 1" in front. The cooktop surface is 37" x 21 1/4" . Don't know if that will work with your countertop space. Maybe the extra side clearance is for support. Perhaps you could reinforce the counter underneath. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 23:35
I read the manufacturer's installation instructions and can't find anything regarding 2" clearance to lower cabinet sidewalls. You have to keep lower drawers 12" away. The 2" requirement is for combustibles adjacent to the cooktop such as a cabinet or an unprotected wood stud wall. |

Have you posted over on the appliance forum? We have a GE induction and when I posted there about 2 years ago, I received great, knowledgable help. Good luck. |

AT&T has a problem on its hands. It's big, but is it big enough? If you're a CEO of a major corporation the answer to that question is always "no." However, the carrier has difficulty expanding on the home front. An overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens have phones with one carrier or another, so there's very little wiggle room to grab new customers. And gaining in market share when you (and all your competitors!) are dead set on locking people into two-year contracts is very difficult.
I miss you, HTC. My Evo was the first phone I ever truly loved, and between 2007 and 2010, as a company you did remarkably well for yourself. Then the Thunderbolt happened, and then Beats got involved and... Well, let's just say it hasn't been a great couple years. So, when I hear that your CEO, Peter Chou, is planning some bold new changes for 2013, I'm hopeful. Skeptical, but hopeful.
It's amazing what a new look can do for a platform, isn't it? Back in January, we reported that CyanogenMod, the most popular third-party Android ROM, reached one million unique installs. Now, a little more than four months later, that number has doubled, according to CM's stat tracker. This is huge.
For those who are curious as to how the stat counter works, here's a more detailed explanation.
The latest unaudited results from HTC for Q4 2011 indicate that total revenues reached NT$ 101 billion (US$ 3.34 billion), a 2.49% drop as compared to the same period in 2010. In stark contrast, Samsung just had a record breaking quarter with profits reaching 5.2 trillion won (US$4.5 billion), almost double the figures of Q4 2010. Samsung's results for Q4 2011 breaks its previous record profit period of 5.0 trillion won (US$ 4.3 billion) from Q2 2010 and is an increase of 22% from Q3 2011.
Android has grown at an amazing pace in the past year, and so has our reader base. With that in mind, we have a simple question for our readers: how long have you been an Android owner? Were you one of the 'Droid front-runners, or did you join the game a bit later? Sound off in the poll below, and feel free to share some details in the comments below.
In case you thought Android's extremely fast-paced growth was being exaggerated, comScore's latest report on mobile market share might just convince you otherwise: From December 2010 to March 2011, Android not only kept its first place position among mobile platforms in the US, but it shot up 6 percentage points - far greater than all other platforms.
In fact, the only other platform that had growth was - predictably - iOS, with a 0.5 point increase.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky has run the numbers on tablets and lined them up for comparison against a bevy of other figures. Surprisingly, there are 5.113 billion mobile subscribers in the world (out of 6.898bn global population), but only 394 million smartphone and tablet users.
Abramsky's calculations show that there will be more than 400m tablet users by 2014. Equally as impressive is that he thinks 185m tablets will be sold in 2014 - or 47% of the number of smartphones and tablet owners today.
Finally, some empirical evidence that illustrates what we've known for some time now: Android is growing like gangbusters. In fact, 28% of smartphones sold in Q1 2010 were Android, compared to 21% for iOS. RIM still holds the top spot with 36%, but that's a drop of roughly 12% in the past year - while iOS has fallen approximately 10% itself. In the same period, Android increased over 20%.
In fact, it seems like Android grew at the expense of just about everyone else - excluding a minor 1-2% increase in "other".

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Greetings, I'm working on g-pypi2 project over this summer for Gentoo, and among other things, I learned a lot about how Gentoo handles Python package distributions. There are quite some students working on distutils2 implementations, so I thought Gentoo as source distribution has a lot to say how would upstream Python tools help towards better standard and API to make life just a little bit easier. I have put together a piratepad/etherpad for easier collaboration if anyone is willing to drop his thoughts how Python distribution of packages could be improved, follow the link http://piratepad.net/EIYOmjJKaJ .. read more about GSoC team http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2/wiki/GSoC_2010_teams .. blog planet with reports http://teckla.idyll.org/~t/planet-distutils/ Cheers, Domen

April 2, 2012
The transition from the teenage years to "adulthood" is a big one—or, at least, it feels big when it's happening. Being a teenager is a long and mostly painful experience that ends when you turn 20.
I celebrated my 20th in December. The birthday resembled many I've had in the recent past. My roommate, Meghan, came to visit me in Millburn, and we went out to dinner with my family. When we got home, I had a few of my good friends over for cake. Whereas other milestone birthdays—such as 13 for myself and 16 for many of my friends—consisted of elaborate parties with official invitations, this one was pretty unremarkable. Not only that: It instilled in me a sort of anxiety.
This generation shrouds the 20 to 29 age bracket in dread. We're always hearing about how terrible the job market is, and the closer we get to graduation and the "real world," the more tangible the threat of unemployment becomes.
At the same time as we're trying to figure out what we want to do, we're also supposed to be figuring out who we are. You might think the self-discovery chapter of your life will be over when you graduate high school. You might think it's already over. But I promise you: It's not.
However, we young adults, the innovators we are, are finding ways to rise against. I've met people my age who are CEOs of companies they've founded independently. I have some incredibly talented friends who will be interns this summer at companies where they might someday work. I know students who have received prestigious awards in their areas of study, students who are genuinely passionate about what they do.
My point is twofold. First, turning 20 may seem like a rite of passage, but you're only an adult insofar as you act like one. That being said, a 17-year-old has the capacity to surpass a 22-year old in mental age. Just because you're in high school doesn't mean you shouldn't start taking yourself seriously. There's so much you can do. Why not start now?

I am new to Garmin GPS. This morning I was driving to a programmed Destination when the male voice instructed me to make a left hand turn and then immediately a right hand turn. If I had done that, I would have driven into the grassy area of a local school. The right turn I should really be taking was 75 m away! This had happened to me with TomToms also.
Mind you, Garmin did get it right yesterday with its "make a left hand turn and then immediately a right hand turn."
I've read of horror stories of drivers following GPS instructions to the T and ended up falling into a river, a dead end road, one way street going the other way.
Lastly, the 2013 map update showed a Canadian Tire store still existing when it had been taken over by the YMCA some 10 years ago.
As someone warned, pay attention to the actual speed limit posted rather than what Garmin says on screen.

To prepare for your self-suck lesson you must do the following:• You must be totally naked!• This is because the clothes (especially belts) interfere with the bending over action!• Be sitting down in a chair that is stable, and that supports your crotch well.• Be erect! Make sure you get all the length you can get!• Now these are the steps for success to self-sucking:1. Get into a slouching motion so your back is curved outward.2. Place your chin right onto your chest so you are looking down at your penis.3. Hook one of your arms around the bottom of both of your legs. This is so you can push up with the arm and your penis comes closer to your face.4. Suck in your gut so your ribs can be pushed down over your gut, giving you a HUGE gain in distance.5. Now that you are in position, lean down toward your penis with your head and suck your way to orgasm!Note: It takes time to work your back in to perform this action. So don't try to force it if it feels like you are gonna snap in two!Umm, I have to admit I really don't have the flexibility to do it but it's always fun to watch those who can do it. Enjoy!

The real skinny is, it extremely demanding of your body. Any guys I know who can do it have gotten their bodies in shape over a long period of time. You probably strained your back or hopefully didn't do anything spinal. Its best to find the right position so there's not weight on your spine back or neck.
There is a manual on it that covers spinal issues, stretching, body mechanics, dietary supplements and the whole nine yards, if you're really interested in doing it. You can find The Manual of how to do it at www.shewhowatches.com. Seriously, don't do it without it, you can get serious injury.

Debt-free Nine comes out of the blocks
PUBLISHED: 18 Oct 2012 00:01:20 | UPDATED: 19 Oct 2012 04:57:18PUBLISHED: 18 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 18 Oct 2012Double happiness ... Nine chief executive David Gyngell on Wednesday celebrated the birth of his first child and Nine's delivery from debt. Photo: Ben Rushton
Nabila Ahmed, James Chessell and Ben Holgate
David Gyngell has declared Nine Entertainment Co now enjoys an "unrivalled" position of strength in Australian media after two United States hedge funds struck a deal to take control of the company.
The Nine chief executive – who was contemplating putting the company into administration this week – likened the television, ticketing and digital company's change of fortunes to one of the great sporting comebacks. "It's like Steven Bradbury, Channel Nine," Mr Gyngell told The Australian Financial Review. "Look at what's happened overnight, from going broke to being debt-free. We have no debt, a quarter of a billion dollars in earnings, so we are in good shape to try and do some things."
A deal to save Nine was finally struck yesterday afternoon after a ferocious, month-long battle between the company's senior lenders – led by hedge funds Oaktree Capital and Apollo Global Management – and second-tier lender Goldman Sachs over Nine's $3.3 billion debt mountain.
It capped a dramatic couple of days for Mr Gyngell, whose wife, Nine presenter Leila McKinnon, gave birth to their first child, Edmund, in the wee hours of yesterday morning. Mr Gyngell had rushed from the crisis talks with lenders on Tuesday afternoon to the Prince of Wales hospital for the birth.
He returned to the Park Street, Sydney, offices of Nine's lawyers Gilbert +Tobin, yesterday morning to continue talks after Goldman held out during Tuesday's negotiations.
personal plea from Gyngell seals deal
It is believed a deal was agreed after a personal plea from Mr Gyngell to the hedge funds to give Goldman an extra $10 million. Nine chairman Peter Bush also played a key role in negotiations.
The company's entire debt pile will be wiped under the deal, as senior lenders led by Oaktree and Apollo will convert their loans into a 95 per cent shareholding. Nine directors led by Mr Gyngell – whose father Bruce founded the network in the 1950s – had been desperate to avoid putting the company into administration. With the ownership resolved, there is more certainty over key broadcasting contracts with Cricket Australia, NRL and Warner Bros.
"This puts us in an unrivalled position in regards to our balance sheet in the Australian media landscape while we believe there is a cyclical downturn which we see creating opportunities for us to grow our business," Mr Gyngell said. The contrast with rival Ten Network Holdings could not be more stark. Ten yesterday confirmed the potential sale of its outdoor advertising division, Eye Corp, has stalled, prompting the stock to fall 7.5 per cent to 31¢ – a record low.
Nine's hedge fund owners have already pledged to back Mr Gyngell and his management team in order to "give the company capital strength to ride out the advertising cycle".
Nine's stations in the eastern states have 36 per cent of metropolitan free-to-air television ad market share. But a deteriorating ad market continues to put pressure on earnings. Nine had tried in vain to recapitalise its balance sheet for the better part of two years as a February deadline loomed for $2.3 billion of senior loans.
Veteran media buyer Harold Mitchell welcomed the deal, which will transform Nine from Australia's most debt-laden media group to a loan-free company. "This puts David Gyngell in an all-powerful position. The network needs him, the market trusts him, and he's enormously capable," Mr Mitchell said yesterday. The deal has been agreed in principle by the parties, who were finalising the details last night.
It will require court and foreign investment approvals.
Goldman Sachs wanted $400m, got $103.5m
Goldman, which through its Europe-based funds had invested about $700 million in the company in second-tier debt, will receive a 4.5 per cent stake under the deal. That means Goldman, which had been pushing for $400 million in the carve-up of one of Australia's best-known media businesses, will get $103.5 million.
CVC Asia Pacific, which paid James Packer a heady $5.6 billion between 2006 and 2008 for the company before the global financial crisis hit, is expected to walk away with less than $10 million. The deal crystallises the biggest private equity loss in the world for CVC, which tipped $1.9 billion in equity into Nine. It is the fourth big debt-for-equity deal struck in Australia in two years, following Alinta Energy, property group Centro and radiology company I-Med.
Oaktree and Apollo, who bought Nine's debt from original lenders at discounted rates as low as 60¢ in the dollar, are believed to have already made an estimated return of more than 40 per cent on their outlay. Oaktree and Apollo owned more than $1 billion of Nine's $2.3 billion debt.
Nine's other senior debtholders, including original bank lenders, will receive a pro-rata equity stake.

NEW YORK, July 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
JetBlue Airways Corporation (Nasdaq: JBLU) today reported its results for the second quarter 2010:
"We are pleased to report a return to profitability in the second quarter with our highest-ever quarterly operating income," said Dave Barger, JetBlue's CEO. "During the quarter, we reported record revenues, reflecting an improved demand environment and the efforts of our outstanding crewmembers, who continue to be recognized with awards for exceptional customer service. Our second quarter results demonstrate the progress we are making to strengthen our network in Boston and New York, maximize revenues, control costs and maintain a long-term sustainable growth rate."
Operational Performance
JetBlue reported record second quarter revenues of $939 million. Revenue passenger miles for the second quarter increased 8.9% to 7.1 billion on a 5.5% increase in capacity, resulting in a second quarter load factor of 82.0%, an increase of 2.5 points year over year.
Yield per passenger mile in the second quarter was 11.93 cents, up 8.2% compared to the second quarter of 2009. Passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) for the second quarter 2010 increased 11.7% year over year to 9.78 cents and operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 10.4% year-over-year to 10.81 cents.
Operating expenses for the quarter increased 15.5%, or $114 million, over the prior year period. JetBlue's operating expense per available seat mile (CASM) for the second quarter increased 9.5% year-over-year to 9.72 cents. Excluding fuel, CASM increased 8.2% to 6.51 cents.
Fuel Expense and Hedging
JetBlue continued to hedge fuel to help manage price volatility. Specifically, JetBlue hedged approximately 45% of its fuel consumption during the second quarter, resulting in a realized fuel price of $2.30 per gallon, a 12.3% increase over second quarter 2009 realized fuel price of $2.05. JetBlue recorded $2 million in losses on fuel hedges that settled during the second quarter.
JetBlue has hedged approximately 47% of its third quarter projected fuel requirements and 46% of its fourth quarter projected fuel requirements with a combination of crude call options, jet fuel swaps and heating oil collars. JetBlue expects an average price per gallon of fuel, including the impact of hedges and fuel taxes, of $2.27 in the third quarter and $2.28 for the full year 2010.
Balance Sheet Update
JetBlue ended the second quarter with approximately $1.0 billion in unrestricted cash and short term investments, essentially unchanged from the end of the first quarter. "Our operating cash flow allowed us to make prudent investments in the business while maintaining a strong liquidity balance," said Ed Barnes, JetBlue's CFO.
In July, UBS repurchased $49 million in par value of JetBlue's auction rate securities. JetBlue used the proceeds from this sale to repay a $40 million loan from UBS, which was secured by the repurchased auction rate securities. As a result of this sale, JetBlue no longer holds any auction rate securities.
Third Quarter and Full Year Outlook
"We are encouraged by the strengthening revenue environment as we continue to develop additional revenue streams with Sabre, our new customer service and reservations system," said Barnes. "With some of our biggest challenges behind us - including the closure of JFK Airport's principal runway and the implementation of Sabre - we are optimistic about the rest of the year."
For the third quarter of 2010, PRASM is expected to increase between 12 and 15 percent year over year. RASM is expected to increase between 11 and 14 percent year over year.

Hi all,
We're just in the process of launching our new media buying website Ziffit.com and are looking for some impartial, expert reviewers to say what they like and what they don't.
It is currently in the soft launch phase, so essentially want as many objective opinions about the design, colours, structure, navigation and operational elements of the site as we can. Be as honest as you like, as your opinions will help us to iron out issues and make changes before going public.
There are some elements on the site, such as Meta and a couple of bugs, that are in the process of being updated - but if you spot anything, we'd certainly appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for your time.
It looks good. The only thing that you might want to look into is the way that the sub navigation elements appear when you hover over tabs. Currently they jump back and forth depending on the location of the tab. It would be nice if they were all consistently placed.
Thanks for your feedback Jeremy, this is certainly something we have been looking at so it's useful to that you've picked up on this too. If there's anything else, just let me know.
Really like the site. Simply to use and i like the location of the barcode entry box is. My only question is there any significance to me click on the "Sell My Books" or any of the others? I entered the bar code for Super Mario Bros Wii game and it didn't show up in the results, so I then i tried to select "Sell My Games" thinking that maybe I have to select what I am selling first before entering my bar code.
Quick review:
1) The login text fields attract too much attention, instead make a small login link and the fields can appear as a drop down when clicked on it.2) The "how much is your stuff worth" looks interested, why not make it little larger?3) The textual content looks a little large, you can try a slightly smaller font.
Other then that, it looks great
Your site looks great and good to me, the only thing i feel you may consider is to add a link to your FAQ at the top, because i looked for it before i saw it down. A newbie to the site will always consider his interest and will look for your FAQ
The site uses full black color.. Please go for professional colors... The banners needs to be more professional with good usage of fonts... for banners refer the website <snip> ...
wow, looks great man. Some people are negative on black background including myself but you nailed it. The good part is the arrangement is great including nice colors that contrast with the background. Keep it up bro!!
Nice site. I really like the layout and ease of navigation. My only negative thought's are that i don't like the black background and FAQ could be placed at the top as i would of thought there could be a few visitors looking for that on a site like this.
Inclined to agree a little with uxzeal, the solid black may be a little too much - however with the white and gold breaking it up, perhaps just needs softening. The stock images could probably do with being refreshed, as it does have a certain familiarity. As a phase 1 site, it has plenty of room to grow and improve though, so a very good start. Functionality is fine, navigation is good, content is informative - overall, just needs a little refining.
seems to work like a charm, navigation works flawlesly, great job overall
aint a big fan of black backgrounds but in this case it seems to work
Thanks to everyone for commenting. Glad the site appears to be working well, we are still looking at the design and possibly softening the black as well as updating the imagery. Really grateful for all the feedback, so if you do see anything you particularly like or don't like please just say.
Looks good, just a couple quick things I noticed:
Love the site, the logo stands out, i dunno about that gradient under the text content, looks a bit weird to me. And maybe the titles would look better red. Overall it`s great job!
Ziffit or Bwin? The webdesign seems to be a copy from bwin.com, isn't it? We can see in other hand that there's a lot of work behind this website.
Everything is fine and so attractive in your site ...Super designing .
The website design is super OK and I like it very much.But I looked in page source and I saw too many java script ( internal). Why don't you try to use external file ?
Hi stevelogan,i have been visiting your website.i am not an expert, but you can have a review from an user who could be a customer of your website.About the design it is good except the black background, for me it is really annoying and hard to read the text, i still hae the negative in my eyes by writting this review.Abut the concept, it is clever to use the barcode and i like the idea of charity and recycling, it is nice that people thinks about this too.Good continuation!
great idea! the site seems really interesting and a good concept. it's subjective but i personally don't like the black background and find it a bit harsh. the white text is too bright against the black.
maybe you could have a separate testimonials page to emphasise how functional your system is opposed to just having a bar that seems just like a side note on the other pages.
overall your content seems really good. short, sharp and shiny! good job guys.
the site structure is good! However, I don't like to see dark background. by the way, you should pay attention to some other front in formatting. I think the front you are using is not impressive enough. besides, try to use more light color instead of dark color like that.

LUIS UBIÑAS '85, M.B.A. '89, grew up in the South Bronx during the 1970s. His father had died young, so Ubiñas and his four siblings lived with their mother, who made money as a seamstress. At that time, the neighborhood resembled bombed-out Dresden: buildings burned amid piles of rubble and garbage. Poverty and drugs were rampant. Most days brought a simple struggle: to get to and from school safely. "You train yourself to be successful in the moment," Ubiñas reports, "and hope that the accumulation of those successes leads to something good later."...Click here to read more

Implementing policies and procedures
Once you have developed your policies and procedures, it's important to make sure they are used in your organisation, and not just put into a file, never to be looked at again!
As part of your process, make sure you consider how you will communicate the policies and procedures to staff and volunteers, and ensure they are being used and followed.
Write down how you plan to do this. For example, you could:
- Develop a training program that all staff and volunteers have to undertake
- At the end of any training or information session, ask participants to complete a short quiz to show they have understood the information
- Incorporate a segment about the policies and procedures, and where to access them, into your induction and orientation programs, or into your volunteer handbook if you have one
- Create posters or process charts to post around the workplace to keep key messages firmly in mind
- Regularly promote a policy or procedure in internal newsletters or at team meetings.
It's important that staff and volunteers – new and existing – understand the purpose of your policies and procedures, which is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Frederick County Career Offender Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Trent Pantin, age 40, of Frederick, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine. Judge Motz enhanced Pantin's sentence upon finding that he is a career offender, based on two previous narcotics convictions.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Ava Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; Frederick County Sheriff Charles A. "Chuck" Jenkins; and Frederick County State's Attorney J. Charles Smith.
According to Pantin's guilty plea, on July 27, 2009, members of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Task Force searched Pantin's apartment on James Street in Frederick and a car being leased by Pantin. Upon arriving at James Street, officers saw Pantin in his rental car which was parked in the parking lot of the apartment building. Officers recovered marijuana located on the ground where Pantin's car was parked. From the apartment officers recovered drugs and drug paraphernalia, including: a plastic bag containing crack cocaine from a glass shelf in the living room; a plastic bag containing cocaine from the coffee table in the living room; a plastic bag cocaine which was inside a white sock on the floor next to the bed in the bedroom; and a digital scale from the kitchen. A total of 124.3 grams of cocaine and 0.3 grams of cocaine base were recovered from Pantin's apartment.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA, Frederick County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Task Force, and the Frederick County State's Attorney's Office for their work in this investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Ayn Ducao and A. David Copperthite, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

You could fill a house with nothing but this furniture, and it would still be interesting. From the classic, retro-reminiscent curves of the Sloan chair to the Jude loveseat's cool minimalism, each design both stands out on its own and plays well with others. And the accessories here—from jewel-toned silk pillows to white apothecary jars—perfectly finish the look.
