The first thing you will notice are the spectacular views from our two balconies overlooking the beautiful Caribbean. Being just 20 yards from the ocean, you have the white sand at your feet and the music of the surf allowing for a most relaxing time in our villa while enjoying America's Caribbean. Remember no passport is required for US citizens, unless you decide to jump over to the British Virgin Islands for a day of fun in the sun and water.
Our building is blessed with daily trade winds that keep you cool and enjoyable year round. It is seldom that you will turn on either of the AC units while enjoying our villa. The two beaches at Sapphire offer different types of swimming and snorkeling daily. The northern beach will provide great snorkeling for the beginners that would like to venture out and see the Rays or Turtles that feed in the grassy areas. The Windward (Eastern) beach will provide some great coral, fish and swimming.
Our unit, Villa Santa Cruz, has been updated with a new king bed, sleeper couch, furniture, carpets, WiFi, 2 TVs, cable and other conveniences that you would expect to find in any luxury hotel. If you need something, chances are we have it for you in the villa. Hair dryers, check. Beach towels, check. Beach chairs, check. Cooler, check. 2 snorkel sets, check. You get the idea.
Sapphire Beach is a low key and quite condominium property located on the east end of St. Thomas, USVI. We are blessed to be next to Sapphire Beach marina where you can book fishing trips with the Double Header boats and Chris or arrange any of the day trips to Josh Van Dyke or the other BVI islands. The complex is a gated community with security offered 24/7.
Villa Santa Cruz is perfect for 2 adults that are seeking a very special romantic getaway. The unit is a two story villa that provides a very casual atmosphere while also world class views from all decks and balconies. We live in this unit 5 to 7 months a year, so we expect the best just like you.
Airport pickup and drop-off service is available to and from our Villa and we can also help you plan any very special island moments that you may be dreaming of. We have a commitment to your satisfaction when you stay with us at Villa Santa Cruz, Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina, St. Thomas, VI. Try us and SEA why we are rated 5 Star by guests just like you!
We were married on the beach at Sapphire many years ago. Started coming to Sapphire Beach in 1981, over 33 years ago and have never regretted a day spent here. A very special place for us!
Stephen Joseph purchased this villa in 2012
We have enjoyed many parts of the world and still feel that the views and swimming at Sapphire Beach are as good or better than anything we have ever experienced anywhere else in the world. The only exception is would be our beautiful home on the Monterrey Bay, California.
Beach Front. Yes, this is as close as you can get to the ocean without being on a Cruise Ship in the Owner's Suite. Two great swimming beaches with plenty of coral and fish. Wonderful trade winds with cooling breezes and abundant beauty with each turn and direction.
You should find plenty to do when visiting Sapphire Beach and Saint Thomas, USVI. Swimming, snorkeling, diving, wind surfing, jet skiing, fishing, sailing, boat trips to other islands are just some of the outdoor pleasures offered here.
Then you can take a trip to Charlotte Amailie, the main town and cruise ship center for shopping or sightseeing. On the north side of the island you will find Magan's Bay, considered one of the finest beaches in the world by National Geographic and others.
Take a ferry over to Saint John island or even the British Virgin islands for that matter. Take a trip to coral world and enjoy underwater views of fish, coral and sharks.
Eating is fun and artful on the east end. Going to Redhook will afford you many wonderful eating establishments, including Fish Tales, Coco Blue and Duffy's Love Shack, plus others. The food is good, the atmosphere is fun and the views are fantastic.

9 Crochet Stocking Patterns in Christmas Crochet for Hearth, Home & Tree
Established knit and crochet designer Edie Eckman has released a new Christmas decorating crochet pattern book. It includes patterns for holiday table toppers, gift wrap embellishments, garlands and more but my favorite part is the first half of the book, which consists of 9 crochet patterns for stockings.
Crochet in Strange Material: Storytelling Through Textiles
If I had to pick one favorite book of 2014 it would have to be Leann Prain's Strange Material: Storytelling through Textiles. It looks at textiles, including a few pieces of crochet, and how various artists have transformed them into narrative-based artworks. I believe that everyone and everything has a story. I believe that there is power in sharing those stories and in re-shaping those stories. This book does that in such a unique way for a niche topic. I love it.

Scarlet Tanagers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Indigo Buntings. Beautiful birds all, and all spotted recently in parks and neighborhoods in our area, along with the more common Cardinals, Goldfinches, Juncos and Carolina Wrens. You just have to look, and listen. Cincinnati Nature Center Chief Naturalist & Adult Program Manager Bill Creasey, and Nature Center Visitor Services Coordinator and Naturalist Lester Peyton, are with us with tips and thoughts on birding in the Ohio Valley. Another great source for information is the American Bird Conservancy.
Our region is home to a wide range of interesting birds, and a migratory route for many others. And winter is the perfect time to view and enjoy them, either out in the woods or in your own backyard. But can you tell a Tufted Titmouse from a Black Junco or White-breasted Nuthatch?
Bill Thompson III is a local birding expert, prolific author, and editor of Bird Watcher's Digest. He's with Thane Maynard for this week's Field Notes to talk about his newest book, The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North America, featuring some 300 common American and Canadian birds for young bird watchers to easily spot and identify. He also talks about the 2007 book All Things Reconsidered: My Birding Adventures, featuring stories, photographs and illustrations from the world famous nature artist/educator/ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson.

Measuring the Prevalence of Sector-Specific Problem Gambling: A Study of Casino Patrons

Get AccessAbstract
This study is the first attempt to measure the prevalence of problem gambling attributable to a specific sector of the gambling industry. One thousand, one hundred and five casino patrons in 40 casinos in the UK were interviewed, face-to-face. Respondents were screened for problem gambling using a multiple response version of DSM-IV (DSM-IV-MR). The study found support for Eadington's (1988) hypothesis, that UK casinos could be largely sustained by regular players, among whom the prevalence of problem gambling is high. The study also found support for the hypothesis that, to the extent different gambling sectors are patronised by demographically different client groups, so the problem gamblers associated with them will reflect these client groups. The problem gamblers among the regular casino patrons were demographically distinct from the problem gamblers in the sample who showed a preference for other gambling forms. Other key findings support those found in other jurisdictions. Sector-specific prevalence studies may be the next step forward in epidemiological research on problem gambling. They have the major advantage of netting significantly more problem gamblers from much smaller samples than similar studies in the general population. They also have the potential to reveal the proportion of problem gamblers attributable to each sector, along with their demographic characteristics. Such information would result in more specific information being available for regulators seeking to minimise the social impact of problem gambling and those involved in the development of prevention and treatment strategies.

As a little girl, I always imagined Prince Charming's arrival would be exactly like the Disney movies. There would be ball gowns, chariots, attentive servants – our happy ever after looked embarrassingly like the prom. As a questionably mature 20-something, I just hoped he'd show up with his own 401k and a checkbook at least as balanced as mine. When he finally made his appearance, my Mr. Right managed to split the difference … he had financial stability and won my heart with his thoughtfulness. But that middle ground – somewhere between responsible and stingy – is a fine line to waltz when you're dating. For tips on dating a man whose grip on his wallet is tighter than yours on the remote during the season finale of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," I consulted Toni Coleman, psychotherapist, dating coach and founder of Consum-mate.com.

When you meet a woman with six children, it is natural to wonder how she does it. In the case of Kathryn Holyoak, she is doing a fabulous job — and she has the award to prove it.
Holyoak, 52, was recently named Illinois Mother of the Year by American Mother's Inc.
"I was very honored and surprised," says Holyoak, who has been a Naperville resident for the past 13 years.
American Mothers Inc. has been celebrating mothers since 1935 and is the official sponsor of Mother's Day. They are a non-denominational, religious-based organization that supports motherhood, addresses global struggles for women with children and helps mothers better their lives.
"They are traditional in their values and that is a great fit for me," says Holyoak, who joined American Mothers in 2013.
Holyoak is an avid volunteer, which is part of the criteria of a Mother of the Year.
"We look for a mother who is well rounded in service, who is a community leader and who is active in a religious organization," says Dot Beldon, president of the Illinois chapter of American Mothers Inc.
As the mother of five boys, Holyoak has been active in Boy Scouts for many years. This last winter, she served on a committee for a Regional Scout Training where she also taught a class.
"Whatever my children are involved in, that is where I like to be," says Holyoak, who volunteered in her children's classrooms when they were younger.
"I have always served in the church," says Holyoak, who enjoys working at the church food pantry and Loaves and Fishes. Holyoak is also a member of the Relief Society, a woman's organization within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
After helping interpret at her church for a deaf couple, Holyoak was inspired to go back to school at Waubonsee Community College to learn American Sign Language.
American Mothers Inc. looks to its members to bring in nominations for Mother of the Year. Holyoak was nominated by her aunt Judy Cook, the 2013 Utah Mother of the Year and 2013 National Mother of the Year.
"Kathryn has all of the outstanding qualities that American Mothers recognizes," says Cook, of Vineyard, Utah. "She is courageous, bold, innovative and creative."
Nominees are required to fill out an application and answer questions about her parenting philosophies, her community service and what she does with her family. In Illinois, the Mother of the Year selection committee votes on a Mother of the Year, Young Mother of the Year and Mother of Achievement.
Holyoak's family was excited about her nomination and selection as Mother of the Year.
"My husband is my biggest cheerleader. He was thrilled for me and he places great value on me being a stay-at-home mom," says Holyoak, who has been married to her husband, David, for 32 years.
The role as Mother of the Year differs for each woman.
"You take on whatever you are interested in," Beldon says.
Holyoak has chosen to bring awareness to the organization and grow membership in the Naperville area. Most of the Illinois membership is in the southern part of the state.
In addition to the membership drive, Holyoak would like to promote the programs that are sponsored by American Mothers Inc., including the fifth-grade essay contest and the ABC Quilts (At Risk Babies & Children's Quilts).
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day, American Mother's Inc. is offering free membership in 2014.
"The best way to join is to come to a meeting," Beldon says.
Meetings take place twice a year in different Illinois cities. This fall, they plan to meet in Bloomington.

I bought the brown version of this rug and really like it. It has held up to our toddler and my morning exercises for over 2 yrs and still looks great. I like the pattern, it is subtle and bold in different ways. I have no regrets in this selection and would buy again. It has had a little shed since it's wool, but nothing major.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug itself is ok. I like the pattern and it was made fairly well. However, the rug is very dark and more green hued.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Momeni rugs are created to touch our senses. The Momeni standard of quality, elegance, and sophistication has been recognized time and time again with America's Magnificent Carpet Award in Atlanta Georgia.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 That's when King Herod got it into his head to go after some of the church members. | 1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. |
2 He murdered James, John's brother. | 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. |
3 When he saw how much it raised his popularity ratings with the Jews, he arrested Peter - all this during Passover Week, mind you - | 3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. |
4 and had him thrown in jail, putting four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He was planning a public lynching after Passover. | 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. |
5 All the time that Peter was under heavy guard in the jailhouse, the church prayed for him most strenuously. | 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. |
6 Then the time came for Herod to bring him out for the kill. That night, even though shackled to two soldiers, one on either side, Peter slept like a baby. And there were guards at the door keeping their eyes on the place. Herod was taking no chances! | 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. |
7 Suddenly there was an angel at his side and light flooding the room. The angel shook Peter and got him up: "Hurry!" The handcuffs fell off his wrists. | 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. |
8 The angel said, "Get dressed. Put on your shoes." Peter did it. Then, "Grab your coat and let's get out of here." | 8 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. |
9 Peter followed him, but didn't believe it was really an angel - he thought he was dreaming. | 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. |
10 Past the first guard and then the second, they came to the iron gate that led into the city. It swung open before them on its own, and they were out on the street, free as the breeze. At the first intersection the angel left him, going his own way. | 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. |
11 That's when Peter realized it was no dream. "I can't believe it - this really happened! The Master sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's vicious little production and the spectacle the Jewish mob was looking forward to." | 11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating." |
12 Still shaking his head, amazed, he went to Mary's house, the Mary who was John Mark's mother. The house was packed with praying friends. | 12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. |
13 When he knocked on the door to the courtyard, a young woman named Rhoda came to see who it was. | 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. |
14 But when she recognized his voice - Peter's voice! - she was so excited and eager to tell everyone Peter was there that she forgot to open the door and left him standing in the street. | 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!" |
15 But they wouldn't believe her, dismissing her, dismissing her report. "You're crazy," they said. She stuck by her story, insisting. They still wouldn't believe her and said, "It must be his angel." | 15 "You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." |
16 All this time poor Peter was standing out in the street, knocking away. | 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. |
17 Peter put his hands up and calmed them down. He described how the Master had gotten him out of jail, then said, "Tell James and the brothers what's happened." He left them and went off to another place. | 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place. |
18 At daybreak the jail was in an uproar. "Where is Peter? What's happened to Peter?" | 18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. |
19 When Herod sent for him and they could neither produce him nor explain why not, he ordered their execution: "Off with their heads!" Fed up with Judea and Jews, he went for a vacation to Caesarea. | 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while. |
20 But things went from bad to worse for Herod. Now people from Tyre and Sidon put him on the warpath. But they got Blastus, King Herod's right-hand man, to put in a good word for them and got a delegation together to iron things out. Because they were dependent on Judea for food supplies, they couldn't afford to let this go on too long. | 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply. |
21 On the day set for their meeting, Herod, robed in pomposity, took his place on the throne and regaled them with a lot of hot air. | 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. |
22 The people played their part to the hilt and shouted flatteries: "The voice of God! The voice of God!" | 22 They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." |
23 That was the last straw. God had had enough of Herod's arrogance and sent an angel to strike him down. Herod had given God no credit for anything. Down he went. Rotten to the core, a maggoty old man if there ever was one, he died. | 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. |
24 Meanwhile, the ministry of God's Word grew by leaps and bounds. | 24 But the word of God continued to increase and spread. |
25 Barnabas and Saul, once they had delivered the relief offering to the church in Jerusalem, went back to Antioch. This time they took John with them, the one they called Mark. | 25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark. |

I want my ceiling and walls to both be the same white. Can I use the same eggshell finish for both or do I need flat for ceiling. My trim and crown will be a semi gloss in a different white. |

The texture of your ceiling might dictate the paint type. Have you checked with your painter or paint store? They are very knowledgeable in this kind of thing and not having seen your ceiling, I would not know. Do you have a textured ceiling? |
We used exactly the same type of paint on our walls and ceilings--BM Aura paint, matte finish. Ceilings are all Super White (as are the walls in the kitchen, LR, DR, hallway, foyer/stairway). FWIW, we used BM Aura satin finish paint on the base molding (matched to the wall colors in each room). |
Patricia No texture on ceiling, they look like walls. Cat mom, Thank you. |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 18:04
What cat mom said, in that case. |
I wouldn't want anything with a sheen on the ceiling as it would reflect too much for me, but I don't mind an eggshell on the walls. So I wouldn't use the same sheen. Edited: cell phone auto corrects. |

The first big shoe to drop in the Biogenesis investigation, Braun has agreed to accept the suspension and will not appeal. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes," said Braun. "I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions." That Braun didn't appeal doesn't exactly bode well for some of the other players involved, though this is a lost year for the Brewers. Braun will end up missing 65 games and is projected to lose around $3.4 million in salary.
my first thought is this is nothing. Braun will appeal and what appeal wont be heard this season, so don't go dropping Braun. but he's not even going to appeal?!
by not appealing, this has to be looked at as Braun is admitting he was/is guilty right?
I don't know if the nonappeal is itself an admission, but the quote certainly sounds like one.
I admit, I am SHOCKED that there won't be an appeal. (Incidentally, happy that my lowball offer for Braun was turned down, too.)
Obviously this was negotiated ahead of time. You can't appeal a plea bargain.

Recently finished painting an accent wall with Regal Select Matte a kinda dark color. I did 2 generous coats. Yesterday I noticed that squares of the sample swatches are showing through if seen at a certain angle with the light shining on it. I think its from the sheen differences. The color & coverage is totally fine head on. Damn....shoulda primed it. Never thought that I wouldn't get good coverage!! The issue is only on the left side as seen on this picture. Maybe the right side has the same issue but the lighting is different and does not show anything. So now what? (1) Prime those spots now and do multiple coats on that side? (I could tint the primer a bit by mixing some paint in it for the first coat). (2) Just go for a third coat on that side and cross fingers that I will fix the sheen issue? I guess my biggest concern is how extra coats on one side will blend with the rest of the wall. I don't have enough paint to do the whole wall, nor do I want to. That makes me think that Option 2 is probably my best bet. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is EXACTLY why I always tell customers at our store...NOT...to paint those damn "sample-squares" on the wall!!! Use Foamboard samples instead! This way, you can "move" your samples to different areas in the room, and...you'll have a realistic sample to take shopping for other decor options! Now the "Bad" news...you can put on 17 more coats...it won't make a difference. You'll STILL see the original profile of those "extra" coats of sample paint. >>> It's the "altered profile" of your wall that you're seeing at angles. It doesn't take much change to be visible, as you're finding out now.... Faron |
Actually, customers do this to me all the time and primer does help. The problem with Benjamin Moore products is that they are not really as good at self priming as other brands. What I do is prime over the color swatch areas, then prime the entire wall corner to corner. If that doesn't work, I may skim coat over the samples then prime the whole wall again. |
Interesting....Do you think Aura have done a better job? I usually use it but for one wall I couldn't justify shelling out premium bucks at the time. Although, the profile theory says it would not have helped either. I do use foam boards to start with -- I have 2 milk crates full of them from over the years!! But when it gets down to the wire and its really close, I like to actually put paint on the wall to get a true feel. So I tried a third coat yesterday on just the bad section without priming and it did improve the situation, but I can still see the squares. Probably at this point, it is only me who will know it is there. I saved the tray and roller in plastic. If they are still usable this morning maybe I will go over it one more time. I can't detect any break in the wall (yet) from the multi-coat area to the two-coat wall. That was my biggest concern - that I would take a small problem and make it a big problem!! |
In my experience, Aura is the worst of all Benjamin Moore lines at self priming. It's gotten so bad lately, I've stopped using it. |
Oh, no. I have paint squares all over my entire house. Much of my drywall isn't finished yet, so I can skim coat the darker ones. Well. I'm glad I read this thread. |
@CEF glad I posted it and could help. It really seems to depend on the lighting and viewing at just the wrong angle during a bright day. I think if I were doing it again I would just prime the squares. As a matter of fact, that's what I've done in the past. I just wasn't thinking this time. Got sucked in by the self-priming new and improved marketing crapola. |
Many of you may know this already, but as I said above, priming in-and-of-itself won't do ANYTHING to change the samples profile-HEIGHT. All you're really doing in THESE kind of cases is just adding another layer of a coating. Doesn't matter WHAT it is...it's just another layer that will reveal the added thickness of the "samples" underneath it. Faron |
Do you suggest I sand the squares? I get the Profile part and what you mean. Essentially it's adding a layer of texture -- which I can see on some of the squares I've painted. Oh, shoot. Just another thing. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 19:38
Paintguy ... slight highjack ... I'm painting the exterior of my house with BM paint ... does the whole thing need to be primed first since their paints aren't so good at "self-priming"? I shudder to think of doing three coats. |
Faron, I get the profile thing in theory, but an extra coat resolved most of the problem, so I'm not convinced. I know I've primed samples in the past and never had a problem (albeit the problem only will show up in certain lighting so I can't know for certain if the previous priming had the desired impact). |

text: KFOX14 - kfoxtv.com - Search Results The following is an archived video story. The text content of that video story is available below for reference. The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. City to consider tripling parking meter fees near baseball stadiumBy: Genevieve CurtisEL PASO, Texas-- The price to park downtown near Southwest University Park could increase. On Tuesday the city council agreed to consider a proposal that would triple fees to park near the stadium, charge parking on Saturday and increase the number of meters near the stadium, among other changes. Currently it costs 75 cents per hour to park downtown-; the new proposal would raise that to $2.50 per hour. That means for a baseball game, which usually last three to four hours, it could cost $7.50 to $10.00. The new proposal also includes extending parking hours near the park until 10 p.m.; currently parking past 6 p.m. is free. There would also be additional meters added and Saturdays would no longer be free parking. Currently all parking meter revenue pays for the Plaza Theater debt. The citys chief financial officer told KFOX14 they are seeing lower than expected parking revenues since the council decided to allow free parking on Saturdays. City Rep. Lily Limon said she would not support the increased parking fees to pay for anything other than the Plaza debt. This needs to go towards the payment of the Plaza Theater just like it was envisioned in the past, no changes to that, said Limon. City Rep. Michiel Noe said its just a good business decision for the city to capitalize on. To adjust in peak demands things like that, thats what any good business does, said Noe. The city does have a revenue sharing agreement with Mountain Star Sports Group for gameday parking, but only when it comes to parking structures, not meters. Thats not to say the agreement couldnt be amended, however. Still, for many drivers paying more to park isnt ideal. The city's just trying to get more money. I understand that. Theyre trying to take advantage but its not right, said Chris Picket, of Central EL Paso. The city council will hold a public meeting on the issue next Tuesday and could take a vote on the proposal at that time.

Major Projects
- Rio Tinto Alcan Modernization - $4.8 billion (US)
The Kitimat Modernization Project (KMP) will increase the smelter's production capacity by 48 per cent to approximately 420,000 tonnes of aluminum ingot per year using the most cost effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology available. The company announced its final investment decision on December 1, 2011. Construction labour at peak (fall 2014) is expected to be about 3,400 including 1,000 local persons. The new smelter is expected to be in operation in the spring of 2015 and will provide employment for approximately 1,000.
- Kitimat LNG
Chevron Canada and Apache Canada each hold a 50 per cent stake in the Kitimat LNG terminal, Pacific Trail Pipeline and 644,000 gross undeveloped acres in the Horn and Liard River basins in northeast BC. Chevron is the operator of the two-train liquefaction plant and the pipeline; Apache is the operator of the upstream assets. The terminal will have an initial capacity to produce 700 million cubic feet of natural gas per day or five million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year. In October 2011, the National Energy Board granted a permit to export up to 10 million tonnes of LNG annually over 20 years. In January 2014, Kitimat LNG awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract to a joint venture involving Fluor Canada and JGC Corporation of Japan. Required labour is estimated to be 3,000 to 5,000 jobs during construction and up to 100 – 200 permanent jobs for operation. The project is still subject to a final investment decision. Site preparation and access road upgrades are ongoing, along with construction of temporary worker accommodation on the site of the former Eurocan Pulp & Paper mill.
- Pacific Trail Pipeline
New 42-inch, 470 km pipeline to supply gas from Summit Lake, BC (north of Prince George) to Kitimat LNG for export. PTP is expected to move one billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Provincial environmental approval was granted in June 2008, followed by federal environmental approval in March 2009. Front End Engineering and Design study was undertaken in 2010. In February 2013, PTP signed a $200 million benefits agreement with 15 First Nations along the pipeline right-of-way. A final investment decision is expected in conjunction with the Kitimat LNG project. Chevron Canada and Apache Canada are each 50 per cent owners of PTP.
- Douglas Channel LNG
Barge-based liquefaction plant proposed to be located on the west side of Douglas Channel, south of Moon Bay. This small-scale project will initially utilize existing capacity in the Pacific Northern Gas pipeline and produce up to 900,000 tonnes of LNG per year. Front End Engineering and Design studies began in 2011. In February 2012, the National Energy Board awarded a permit to export up to 1.8 million metric tonnes of LNG annually over 20 years, equivalent to 250 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Douglas Channel Gas Services, the Haisla Nation, LNG Partners LLC, and Golar LNG are the project partners.
- LNG Canada - $25 billion to $40 billion
In May 2012, Shell Canada formally announced the development of a proposed two billion cubic feet per day liquefied natural gas export facility on the site of the former Methanex methanol plant. LNG Canada is a joint venture led by Shell (50 per cent interest) along PetroChina Co. (20 per cent), KOGAS (15 per cent) and Mitsubishi (15 per cent). CFSW LNG Constructors, a partnership of Chiyoda, Foster Wheeler, SAIPEM and WorleyParsons, was announced as the main contractor for construction of the LNG Canada facility on May 20, 2014. The project consists of the construction and operation of natural gas treatment facilities, liquefaction and storage facilities, marine terminal facilities, an interconnecting cryogenic transfer pipeline, and supporting infrastructure. LNG Canada will initially consist of two-trains, each with the capacity to produce six million tonnes of LNG per year, with an option to expand the project in the future. Approximately 5,500 – 7,500 jobs will be created during construction and 400 – 800 for operations. In February 2013, the National Energy Board awarded a permit to export up to 24 million metric tonnes of LNG annually over 25 years. A project description was filed with the federal and provincial environmental assessment agencies in April 2013. The approval process is expected to be completed by mid-2015. A decision to move the project into development could be taken in late 2015/early 2016, with start up around the end of the decade (pending regulatory approvals and investment decisions).
- Coastal GasLink - $4 billion
TransCanada Corp. has been selected by Shell Canada and its partners to design, build, own and operate the proposed Coastal GasLink project, a 48-inch, 700 km pipeline that will transport natural gas from the Montney gas-producing region near Dawson Creek, BC to the LNG Canada liquefied natural gas export facility in Kitimat. The pipeline will have the capacity to move 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. It is estimated 2,000 – 2,500 construction jobs will be realized over a three year construction period. Coastal GasLink received an Environmental Assessment Certificate in October 2014. The pipeline is expected to be in service near the end of the decade, coinciding with LNG Canada plant commencing operations.
- Triton LNG
AltaGas Ltd. and Idemitsu Canada Corp. have formed a limited partnership for a proposal to develop a floating liquefied natural gas facility to be located in the vicinity of either Kitimat or Prince Rupert, to be in service in 2017. The National Energy Board approved an application for a 25-year LNG export licence on April 16, 2014. The facility is expected to process approximately 2.3 million tonnes of LNG annually. Triton has signed a 20-year transportation reservation agreement with Pacific Northern Gas for 325 million cubic feet per day of natural gas transportation capacity related to the PNG Looping Project.
- Pacific Northern Gas Looping Project
Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) is proposing to upgrade its gas transmission capacity by looping (or twinning) its existing natural gas transmission pipeline between Summit Lake, BC and Kitimat. The new pipeline will increase the overall pipeline capacity of the PNG Transmission System in order to meet the requirements of its existing customers and new small-scale liquefied natural gas projects proposed for construction in Kitimat. The project involves the construction of approximately 525 km of new 24-inch pipe, operating in parallel with the existing 10-inch pipeline. The project would also include the replacement of four existing compressor stations and would have an initial capacity of 600 million cubic feet per day. A project description was filed with the federal and provincial environmental assessment agencies in July 2013. The project is expected to generate approximately 1,800 – 2,400 direct person years of employment during construction.
- Cedar LNG
In August 2014, the Haisla Nation submitted three separate applications to the National Energy Board for 25-year liquefied natural gas export licences. The applications seek approval to export varying quantities of LNG to Asian markets from either barge-based or floating LNG vessels to be located at up to three locations along the west side of the Douglas Channel. Each application relates to separate and independent commercial arrangements with gas producers, purchasers and shippers. Pipeline capacity required to transport natural gas to Cedar LNG could include a mix of new and already-proposed third party infrastructure. Construction is anticipated to occur between 2017 and 2020.
- Enbridge Northern Gateway - $7.9 billion
Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership proposes to construct two, 1,177 km pipelines between Bruderheim, AB and Kitimat. A 36-inch diameter pipeline flowing west will carry up to 525,000 barrels of oil per day. The eastbound 20-inch diameter pipeline will carry 193,000 barrels of condensate per day. A two-berth marine terminal and tank farm is proposed to be located on the west side of Douglas Channel, north of Bish Creek. Ten pump stations will be powered by electric pumps to limit noise and greenhouse gas emissions. The regulatory review commenced in May 2010. The Joint Review Panel (JRP) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board recommended approval of the project in December 2013. The Government of Canada granted approval in June 2014, subject to 209 conditions recommended by the JRP. The project is expected to employ 165 persons to operate the marine terminal and tug fleet, to maintain first response and to monitor the environment.
- Kitimat Clean Refinery - $32 billion
In August 2012, Kitimat Clean Ltd. submitted a proposal to build a large oil refinery in the Kitimat Valley to process heavy crude oil delivered by pipeline or rail. An environmental assessment is in progress, with operations commencing by 2020. The refinery will process 550,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day, producing 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline, and 50,000 barrels per day of aviation fuel. Approximately 6,000 workers will be required during the construction phase, and the refinery will create 3,000 permanent full time jobs. In April 2013, Kitimat Clean signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which will serve as a financial advisor and cooperate in the financing of the project. In June 2014, Hatch Ltd. was contracted to conduct a basic engineering design, and Expander Energy entered into an agreement with Kitimat Clean to license its FTCrude refining process.

I love carbs, potatoes, breads, pastas, but they don't look so good on me. Trying to eat more fruit and veggies. Has to be quick to prepare, minimum of ingredients, and hopefully the kids will eat it too!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Massachusetts' art and craft galleries are as eclectic as the art itself. Boston's SOWA district (South of Washington Street) is packed with galleries, artist studios, restaurants, and cafes. Catch the buzz at SOWA's First Fridays when dozens of galleries swing open their doors. The Massachusetts College of Art & Design is the nation's first independent public art school. MassArt's seven gallery spaces showcase work by internationally acclaimed artists and designers as well as emerging artists. The galleries also routinely feature work by MassArt students, faculty, staff, and alumni. MCLA Gallery 51, run by the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, presents work from a wide range of emerging and mid-career contemporary artists. Just down the street, of course, is the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Located on the campus of Phillips Academy, the Addison Gallery of American Art presents approximately twelve shows a year, both from its extensive collection of American art, and major traveling exhibitions.

Francisco Alvarado has been a reporter in Miami for the past 15 years, and has been with the alt-weekly Miami New Times for the past decade. This January, he wrote a mini-feature naming Photography is Not a Crime as one of the city's best blogs. While some people in the community think that Miller is simply out for attention, "I think he's really serious about holding police accountable," says Alvarado. "His style is definitely abrasive, and in your face, but he gets stuff out there, and it is news."
Miller never runs out of things to say when he talks about filming police. This shows through on his blog, which he updates at least once a day, sometimes more, with posts that are usually between 500 and 1000 words. He has a regular commenting community; while comments on a story have gone into the hundreds, the number usually stays in the double digits. His blog has received over 7 million hits since it first started. It's housed on a photography website called Pixiq, which is owned by Barnes and Noble, and Miller gets paid based on page views. He says May is on track to be a record month for traffic; he's had over 560,000 page views in the last 30 days.
Though most of his posts are about other photographers' run-ins with police, Miller also covers his own exploits. He's attempted to go through airport security with his camera rolling and the TSA's policy printed and ready to show to agents. After being told a number of times he couldn't record he happily blogged this February that a TSA agent knew the official policy and let him pass through. He conducted similar experiments on Miami's Metrorail. The first time, he and a friend went with a print out of the law in their hand to "see if the Metrorail security guards knew the law when it came to photography. "They didn't," says Miller, who ended up permanently banned from the Metrorail system.
A month later, a news crew from Denver came to do a story on Miller, and when they asked where he wanted to film, he suggested they go back to the Metrorail. He ends up in an altercation with a security guard, who tries to slap his iPhone out of his hand. In response, Miller punched the guard. (All of this was caught on tape.) When police came, they watched the video and didn't charge Miller, even though the security guard had a bloody lip, because the tape showed that the guard hit first. "I realized I can't be so reactive," says Miller. "But this also shows why it's important to have cameras. They would have taken the word of the security guard over mine." He has a pending lawsuit with the Metrorail for that incident.
"I do have a reputation, and I can see why people say I'm a troublemaker. I can admit that. I'm a rabble rouser. I go out and stand up for my rights," says Miller. "I'm a journalist first, but I'm an activist when it comes to photography."
On May 3, nine journalism and civil rights organizations sent a letter to US Attorney General Eric Holder, asking that law enforcement agencies be held accountable for intimidating and arresting people recording in public. "The right to record is an essential component of our rights at a time when so many of those witnessing public protests carry networked, camera-ready devices such as smartphones," reads the letter. "We the undersigned call on authorities at the local, state and federal level to stop their assault on people attempting to document protests and other events unfolding in public spaces."
Josh Stearns, the journalism and public media campaign director for Free Press, says the combination of traditional press associations with digital rights organizations was intentional. "We focused on not the amount of signers but having a small group of the right people who get at every angle of this issue," says Stearns. "That combination of free speech, free press, and digital rights is really important as we move forward and think about how we advocate for the First Amendment in the digital age."
Stearns says the timing of the letter to AG Holder was deliberate. "We want to assert the importance of these next couple months as a time where we need to be watching this and responding carefully," says Stearns. "I think the key is to get away from treating this as a case-by-case basis and acknowledging there's a national trend here."

Due to new regulations, I have had to add shipping rates to my listings. Since it is very hard to predetermine rates before an item is purchased, I have given estimates according to the furthest distance from point of shipment.
OVERSEAS customers - shipping rates quoted are for AIRMAIL only. I do offer Surface at a much cheaper rate. In most cases it is less than half the price of Airmail. If you prefer Surface, please email me the name of your country for your rate.
US customers - shipping rates can be lower in some cases. It depends on weight, size of parcel and which State you live in.
CANADIAN customers - please email your Postal Code for a more accurate rate. Shipping rates within Ontario are much cheaper. It depends on weight, size of parcel and which Province you live in.
