Demand fears overshadow profit surge
PUBLISHED: 23 Feb 2012 11:20:00 | UPDATED: 24 Feb 2012 02:45:44PUBLISHED: 24 Feb 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Feb 2012Luke Forrestal
Uncertainty about the demand outlook for Iluka Resources' most valuable mineral sands product has overshadowed a 15-fold increase in the company's annual profit.
Delivering Iluka's results for the 2011 financial year, chief executive David Robb admitted it was taking time for a "clear demand profile" to emerge for zircon, which is mainly used in ceramic ware and tiles.
But he sought to downplay concerns that appetite in China, Iluka's biggest market, had evaporated. The concerns have arisen on reports there had been no zircon shipments into the country this year.
"Let me state categorically that zircon demand has not disappeared from a global perspective," Mr Robb told The Australian Financial Review yesterday. "Shipments into China do not correlate with sales within China. We have a number of warehouses in China, we carry significant inventory so we can respond to customers with just-in-time deliveries.
"For people to look only at the shipments into China is completely missing the point."
He said Iluka had long advised it was expecting one or two soft quarters as adjustments worked through the value chain and Chinese policy on housing took effect. Investors appeared to seize on the lack of clarity on demand yesterday, sending Iluka shares down 57¢ to $16.86.
This was despite a record full-year net profit of $541.8 million that represented an increase of 1417.4 per cent on 2010 and was at the top end of analyst forecasts. The company also achieved a 42.5 per cent return on equity, up from 3.2 per cent in 2010.
It paid a fully franked 55¢ final dividend, up from 8¢ in 2010 and formalised a new payout policy.
"I felt the market overall was focusing on the weak spots rather than the bright spots," RBC Capital Markets analyst Geoff Breen said. "Everything was really good."
Driving the rise in profit was substantial price rises across the suite of mineral sands products, which added $736.5 million to the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Chinese demand and a shortage of supply has been behind the price increases.
Iluka's earnings from its 1.5 per cent royalty on production at BHP Billiton's Mining Area C mine in WA's Pilbara increased by 16.1 per cent to $88.1 million in the year.
Mr Robb said spinning the royalty off into a separate vehicle was still an option that held appeal for the company and might deliver additional growth. But there is no pressing need for extra cash.
Iluka finished the year with a net cash position of $156.7 million after starting with net debt of $312.6 million. Reflecting this and the strong profits it expects in the future, the company yesterday introduced a formal dividend policy of paying out at least 40 per cent of free cash flow.

Lady Anne was 13 when she made a politically advantageous marriage to Cecil Calvert, the second Lord of Baltimore. A well-connected Catholic nobleman, Calvert inherited from his father, the first Lord of Baltimore, the title of "Absolute lord of Maryland and Avalon" along with provincial rights to the new colony.
Calvert -- who never set foot in Maryland -- sought to make the colony a prosperous and safe refuge for persecuted Catholics, investing a good deal of his own wealth in the new lands.
He sent his younger brother, Leonard, who would later serve as Maryland's provincial governor, to the new colony in 1634. Leonard sailed with the ships Ark and Dove, and the colonists established a settlement at St. Mary's.
Anne gave birth to nine children, four of whom lived to adulthood. She died in 1639 at the age of 34. Cecil outlived her by many years, enjoying a long retirement before dying in Middlesex on Nov. 30, 1675.
One year after Lady Anne's death, the General Assembly in St. Mary's City created Anne Arundel County -- encompassing much more territory than it does today -- in honor of the wife of the colony's founder.

Department is re-evaluating plan to improve Hinkson Creek in Boone County
For more information: 573-751-1010
Volume 37-378 For Immediate Release: Oct. 9, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is withdrawing the draft Hinkson Creek Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, from public notice. The department will re-evaluate the TMDL in light of public interest and discussions heard to date on the draft language, which may have been unclear or confusing. The department will work with interested parties to establish a revised TMDL and re-public notice the document in early November.
The department determined Hinkson Creek, located near Columbia in Boone County, is impaired due to unknown pollutants as it does not meet water quality standards. The department included Hinkson Creek on Missouri's 2004/2006 303(d) List of impaired waters. The federal Clean Water Act requires the department to develop TMDLs for those water segments included on final 303(d) lists. A TMDL is a study of the impaired water that establishes the maximum amount of a pollutant the water can absorb before its quality is affected.
The TMDL process works best when the department is able to bring local citizens together to understand and identify problems in their watershed. They can help develop the most effective solution for reducing water pollution. Citizen participation and cooperation is crucial for successful watershed management and is the key to protecting our natural resources.
"This is the first TMDL in Missouri to address an unknown pollutant and an urban stream, which makes the process a little more difficult," said Leanne Tippett Mosby, Director of the department's Water Protection Program. "The department appreciates the citizen participation and cooperation to help improve Hinkson Creek. The department wants to ensure everyone understands the approach and has an opportunity to help shape how the TMDL is implemented to make this process a success."
The department is withdrawing the public notice to re-evaluate the Hinkson Creek TMDL and, where applicable, make improvements to better address those areas that have generated the greatest interest or confusion by the public. The department will continue to work with interested parties throughout the evaluation and provide another draft for public notice in early November.
For more information on the TMDL process or other water pollution issues, contact the department's Water Protection Program at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-1300 or visit the Web at www.dnr.mo.gov/env/wpp.

After sending my sketches and explaining my electrical dilemmas to a professional electrical engineer, this is the answer i received, which helped me a lot to proceed with my electrical system planning:
"Hi Oz!
First of all , sorry for the delay…I read your presentation…
Some general numbers regarding energy:
A person on an average exercise is burning lets say approx 800 calories (It's actually Kcal…which is 1000 calories) 800 Kcal is 3349600 Jaul .
Lets say that you can extract from the person only 50% of the energy due to body efficient (also produce heat…like any other engine) That means that with an average exercise you can extract 1674800 jaul….since 1 watt is 1 jaul/sec this is equivalent to using a 465 watt equipment for an hour…..or lighting up 100Watt bulb for 4.5 hours….
This what the numbers says…in real life , if you connect a generator to a bike or a cross trainer you will need to work very hard to produce even 250 watt….this is because the 50% efficiency of our body is very optimistic and probably not realistic….also the transmission from rotational movement to electric current is suffering from loss.
Anyway , building a bike that can transfer part of the pedaling energy to electricity is feasible and actually pretty lowtech…
You need a:
1.DC generator/Alternator – it's a generator with a magnet core that does not need an excitation current..meaning can start producing voltage immidiattly.
2.A voltage regulator – since RPM changes all the time , you need to regulate the voltage to be always few voltage above the battery you want to charge..otherwise you get a reverse current…of course the voltage regulator shuts down when you are in a certain minimal RPM. As the RPM raises above the minimum, the voltage remains the same but the charge current raise…also this circuit should also limit the current so it would not be to hard to pedal….if a battery is drained and you connect it to a generator via a voltage regulator…it will request an unlimited current…meaning pedaling is very very hard….so if you limit the charge current you let the person to ride the bike from A to B and extract only a certain percentage from the energy produced by the pedaling
3.battery – the highest energy density (energy per weight) today for rechargeable batteries are the lithium type.they are also the most expensive….please note that there are also safety consideration regarding these batteries , when shortcutting due to damage they tend to burn and king of explode due to uncontrolled temperature rise…don't mess with them…even the hybrid car industry after millions of dollars of research is very carefull about these batteris….I think that a small lead battery (like of a motorbike) is sufficient for the use……on the other hand there is a company called A123systems (they have a website A123systems.com) that developed a unique Nano technology for Lithuim battery that says that even in 250 Deg…which is much more then the temp that lithium explode…their batteries behaves stable (no burned or exploded)….they sell battery packs for Hybrid cars , electric trains , and power tools (saws , drillers …) , the have packs that can feet your needs..
you need to develop a rigid transmission from the wheels or pedals to the generator (without rubber bands and staff so it will last long enough.
Regarding actual design and engeneering…I think that you need to take it to a power electronic engineer …they can fit very quickly the DC alternator you need…the voltage regulator circuit and the battery…please remember that the electric regulating circuit must allow you to change the current limitation (by a rheostat or something) . you don't want to design something and end up with a system that is too hard to rotate (to pedal…)
I found a nice web site where they built a generator connected to a bike (static bike)
You can see from this website , and I think it's make sense , that you can extract 20-30watt from a person that rides a bike…more then that it will be hard to pedal and not fun at all to get from point A to point B….if a person take a bike for an average of 1 hour so the battery size (in units of energy) should be accordingly 20-30 watt/hour……a 20-30 watt/hour is enough energy to light the new efficient bulbs which are equivalent in lighting to the old 100watt tungestan bulb (regular Libon bulb) for one hour…"

PINDALE, WYOMING: Nestled amid the soaring, snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains, Sublette County School District #1 serves the students of Pinedale, Wyoming and its neighboring communities. Total enrollment across all grades falls just over 1,000 students. With an auditorium available for school performances and community events, the Pinedale High School operates as one of the cultural cornerstones of the small community, and the responsibility of maintaining and operating itâs A/V system falls to Patrick Rookus, the districtâs auditorium manager and tech director. When the roomâs aging sound reinforcement system approached its thirtieth birthday, Rookus made the call to renovate it, both as a way to prevent imminent equipment failure and, perhaps more importantly, as a way to keep up with the needs of the auditoriumâs diverse users. A Symetrix Jupiter 8 app based, turn-key DSP resides at the heart of the new system and delivers transparent audio quality, system flexibility, and intuitive user control.
âWe wanted the new system to be versatile enough to satisfy the needs of the varied types of performances and presentations that take place, while also anticipating the sound system requirements for many years to come,â said Rookus. He contacted Performance Audio of nearby Salt Lake City, Utah, where system design & installation expert Jake Peery worked out an affordable and effective solution. âBy using a Symetrix Jupiter, I knew we could create a system that would be simple, flexible, and â together with a Symetrix ARC-2e wall panel remote â easy to operate,â said Peery. âThe Jupiter possesses all of the necessary processing power, including delays, limiting, and equalization, at a very affordable price point.â
The system is composed of eight new Sennheiser ew 114 G3 wireless microphones, along with a range of other existing wired and wireless microphones that feed an existing console. The outputs of the console feed two of the eight analog inputs of the Symetrix Jupiter 8. An additional microphone runs directly into the Jupiter 8 to allow speech reinforcement for simple applications. The additional inputs of the Jupiter 8 accommodate other âguestâ consoles that can be utilized without having to un-patch the main console. On the back end, a new stereo Electro-Voice EVA line array with three top cabinets and two subwoofers per side provides impactful coverage, and four Electro-Voice XI-1082 loudspeakers provide front fill. Electro-Voice amplifiers power the system.
The Jupiter 8 runs the âSound Reinforcement #6â app, which provides a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter, a 15-band EQ, a split compressor, and a feedback fighter on each input. On each of the outputs there is a speaker manager module, which contains eight bands of parametric EQ, a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter, and up to 243ms of speaker delay. A flexible matrix creates eight submixes, where any input can be routed to any output with full input level control. Peery installed a Symetrix ARC-2e wall panel remote at the rack, which allows Rookus to easily select between the Jupiter 8 inputs. Moreover, the ARC-2e allows for selecting different operating modes, such that the guest consoles can patch in and be processed as left/right only, as left/right and separate fills, or as left/right, fills, and subwoofers.
âItâs an efficient system that does everything required of it,â summarized Peery. âMoreover, it has sufficient flexibility to meet the schoolâs future needs.â

In a number of ways, the Olympus PEN E-PL1 exceeded my expectations. Even though I had tested the camera when it first came out and quickly realized its benefits: compact design, with small, lightweight lenses and surprisingly good image quality, I hadn't really challenged the camera as I did at the U.S. Open.
Would I shoot the U.S. Open again with the E-PL1? Should you shoot tennis tournaments with this compact camera? Maybe. On a practical level, the size of the camera and lenses address a couple of important issues: it's easy to carry around and since venues like the U.S. Open have tight security and restrictions on attendees bringing in "professional" cameras, the E-PL1 is a perfect fit.
Image quality is quite good and the lenses I used produced sharp, crisp images. If you're shooting night games (which I have not), you might run into trouble with image noise at higher ISOs, but the E-PL1 manages low and mid-range ISOs well.
The latest firmware update seems to have increased autofocus and tracking speed enough to make the E-PL1 a viable option for shooting sports like tennis. A DSLR, with its optical viewfinder and faster continuous shooting speeds will still beat the capabilities of compact interchangeable lens cameras and their contrast detect autofocus but with a little practice and knowing how to anticipate the players' moves, you'll be able to bring home some great shots with the E-PL1.

text: From the never-been-kissed to the most popular twink in town, Boy Crazy is studded with explicit stories of red-hot hunks having steamy sex. Editor Richard Labonté's unique collection of coming-out tales celebrates first-time lust, first-time falling into bed, and first discovery of love. A young man in his twenties has sex with the stud he has desired since boyhood in "The Pasta Closet." In "A Beautiful Motorcycle," a young man shares a hotel room with his sister's boyfriend and experiences a whole new kind of room service. A progressive post-nerd finds himself in the muscled arms of a football player in "The Viking." These and other stories of sexual awakening vividly evoke the trembling, heart-pounding, sweaty-palmed excitement of the first time.

In case you haven't heard, the finalists for the 2012 Whitney Awards were announced last Friday. Over at Segullah, Emily has already posted some of her thoughts about the finalists, so I thought I'd post a few of my initial thoughts and impressions here. Hopefully I'll follow this up with another post or two as I read finalists, and probably write a post reflecting on the contest after the winners are announced. I've been aware of the Whitneys for a few years and have read quite a few of the finalists and winners from earlier years, but I only started actively reading and voting last year. It seems like every year I don't get around to reading much LDS fiction until the Whitneys are announced. I tend to do the same thing with the Academy Awards; it often takes me a year or two to get through the nominees and winners after the awards ceremony. After spending the first three months of last year binging on LDS literature I wondered if I should revise my strategy and read more throughout the year, but with nearly 400 books by LDS author being published each year it just doesn't seem possible to anticipate what the finalists will be. I also found that it was easier to compare finalists with each other when all of them had been read recently rather than trying to compare a freshly-read book with my recollections from six months ago.
One of the most obvious changes to this year's field of nominees is the division of Novel of the Year into Best Adult Novel and Best Youth Novel. I like this change; while I read some YA fiction, youth fiction is not my preferred genre and not having to read any of it will streamline my reading process. I did enjoy the General Youth Fiction books that I read last year, but would rather concentrate my reading on adult fiction. Last year I didn't read the speculative books from either category (again, not my preferred genre) and wasn't able to vote on Novel of the Year. I hope to be able to vote on it this year, at least for the adult fiction.
General Fiction: I'm much more excited about this year's General Fiction nominees than I was last year. The field is more varied as far as topic and publisher goes and seems to have avoided the inspirational fiction takeover that many people feared was happening after last year's finalists were announced. Last year I thought it might be best to declare no winner in the general fiction category but this year's nominees have redeemed by faith in the ability of LDS writers to produce thoughtful, nuanced fiction about contemporary life. We'll see how I feel after I read them.
Historical: I am happy to see a variety of writing styles, publishers, and subjects in this category as well. I thought it was interesting that Carla Kelly's most recent book was placed in historical rather than romance, because I have read it and found it similar to Borrowed Light, which won the award for romance last year. I have not yet read the other four books in the category yet, but Kelly is a strong contender. We may have to have some kind of arm wrestling contest between her and James Goldberg to determine the winner.
Romance: Melanie Jacobson has two finalists again, although I thought Twitterpated was one of her weakest books yet. I'm in the middle of Smart Move and really enjoying it, so I think she has a fighting chance this year. She is one of my favorite new LDS authors (as I wrote about in this post). Edenbrooke felt a little flat to me and I have yet to read the other two finalists.
Mystery/Suspense: This category always feels like the weakest to me. First of all, there are many types of mystery or suspense books out there and the finalists tend to be all over the map. Last year I had a hard time judging when I had to compare two romantic suspense books, a conspiracy thriller, a nationally published book that was part of a series of historical mysteries, and a military thriller that was also part of a series. This year in addition to the usual suspects we do get two of Josi Kilpack's culinary mysteries, and I've been looking forward to reading them. I've wanted to read them for years and for some reason they've been shoved to the bottom of the pile. This is when reading for the Whitneys is good because it forces me to read stuff I've been meaning to get to.
Speculative: As I mentioned, speculative fiction is not my favorite genre and I didn't read any of it last year. So I don't have a lot to say about this category at the moment. Look for more comments in the future.
And of course there are always the books that didn't get nominated. Many of the more well-known authors that have been finalists in the past didn't make it this year: Dean Hughes (I thought his newest book wasn't one of his best, actually), Carol Lynch Williams, Gerald Lund, Anne Perry, and Richard Paul Evans. Sometimes this can be a good thing when it provides an opportunity for newer or lesser-known authors to get more of an audience. However, it was disappointing not to see some newer authors not make it, like Courtney Miller Santo, Sarah Dunster, or Stephen Peck. Sometimes, however, I think the fact that a book doesn't make it to the Whitney finalist list can benefit the author simply because the book still gets to have its merits discussed by its defenders among the reading faithful.
What surprised you about this year's Whitney finalists? Didn't surprise you? Are you reading and voting?

Many New Berlin School District employees will receive a one-time payment outside of the collective bargaining process, the New Berlin School Board decided Monday.
The board approved a 1.64 percent increase for the 2011-12 school year and a 1.86 percent increase for the current 2012-13 school year. Those who will receive the payment are current teachers, specialists, librarians, psychologists, counselors, therapists and special education paraprofessionals who worked for the district before this year. Payments are expected to be made early in 2013.
Board member Art Marquardt called the one-time payment an important way-station as the district works on a full compensation redesign. The compensation plan will be designed to recruit, retain and reward employees, and will form the basis of future compensation decisions.
While that redesign is in progress, the board wants to show the staff how it values and appreciates employees, board President David Maxey said.
The staff works hard and the board wants to recognize that, said board member Tom David, who also noted that it will help them keep up with the cost of living.

The Grand Canyon is on the must see list for many. It is breathtaking. But many places at the Canyon are under construction and reconstruction. it is best to hold off for a year or two. Instead I recommend Sedona. Sedona is about 1 hr from the Canyon (and a little closer to Phoenix and Scottsdale). The history and sites of the Red Rock is not comparable, anywhere. To get the full impact and the red rocks up close and personnal, I recommend a jeep tour. Specially the one I recommend is the Pink Jeep Tour company. They have many different tours running continuously all year. My favorite tour is ancient ruins. This is a must see at least once in your lifetime. report a problem

Ask a Question
Do you invite some co-workers and not others or none at all?
I'm a teacher at a middle and high school. Some of the faculty I've grown close enough to in the two years that I've worked there that I would like to invite some of them but not all. I've pretty much kept my wedding date a secret so very few know (only the close ones). What should I do?
Ask a Question
Has anybody used a backless strapless bra before??
This is the dress I want...but I have to find a backless strapless bra in order for it to be "THE DRESS". Has anybody ever used one and where did you get it? Did it really work? I'm working with a D cup so I'm finding it difficult to find ANYTHING in backless and strapless.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the bridal shop I went to said that they currently don't have the right sized cups to sew in. I'm thinking I should be able to go to JoAnn Fabrics or another craft store and find the cups. right? |
I think I've picked out what I would like the bridesmaids to wear and of course my dress...
Bridesmaids dresses are going to be pool with mocha accents and my wedding dress will have mocha instead of expresso. I'm still trying to decide if I want the matching flowergirl dresses or not.
Wedding Decoration
Ball Jars w/ flowers and candles...
My FH and I met four years ago in the dorms at Ball State University. We decided to include Ball Jars (University and Jar company founded by the Ball brothers) as a way to pay homage to where we began.
I'm aquiring both aqua and clear quart jars for the floral arrangements (got some amazing suggestions from some WBC brides to be:) We're also using the widemout pint jam jars for the candles. |
Ask a Question
What color and kind of flowers go with Aqua and chocolate brown?
I've been thinking about flowers and trying to decide what kind and whatcolors to have.
Ask a Question
Candy Buffet doggie bags?!?
We're 85% sure we want to do a candy buffet at our wedding however we have hit a bump in the road...what do we give guests to take home/hold the candy in?

LONDON (AP) — Britain's FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was the only major European market to close higher Friday as investors priced in the likelihood that interest rates would remain at record low levels for a while yet after the country's recession unexpectedly continued into a sixth quarter.
The other major European markets closed down. Wall Street gave up most of Thursday's gains in midday trade in New York as investors took a breather following disappointing forecasts from major railroad companies.
The FTSE closed 35.21 points, or 0.7 percent, higher at 5,242.57 despite figures showing output unexpectedly fell by 0.4 percent in the third quarter from the previous three-month period. The further contraction means that Britain's economy has now shrunk for six quarters in a row — the longest and deepest recession since World War II.
Analysts said the FTSE may have outperformed its peers as investors priced in the growing likelihood that interest rates in Britain would remain at the current 0.5 percent well into next year. It also may have risen on the prospect that the Bank of England would pump more money into the financial sector that could end up supporting asset prices, such as stocks.
"With today's surprise announcement suggesting that interest rates are likely to remain suppressed for some time to come, investors still seem happy to take the bet that shares are still going to offer among the best returns," said Anthony Grech, market analyst at IG Index.
Though British stocks advanced, the pound took a battering on foreign exchange markets. By late afternoon London time, the pound was 1.7 percent lower at $1.6331, while the euro jumped 1.5 percent against it, to 0.9175 pounds.
Meanwhile, German and French markets closed lower after figures provided further evidence that the recovery in Europe was gaining traction. Germany's DAX ended 22.68 points, or 0.4 percent, lower at 5,740.25 while the CAC-40 in France was 12.61 points, or 0.3 percent, lower at 3,808.24.
Figures from the well-respected Ifo Institute showed that German business sentiment continued to rise even though the euro has spiked up above $1.50 for the first time in 14 months. Ifo said its monthly business climate index edged up for the seventh month running to 91.9 points in October from 91.3 in September.
All three of the main markets in Europe had been higher earlier as investors were buoyed by a strong performance on Wall Street Thursday following upbeat earnings from the likes of Amazon, AT&T and American Express.
So far, a large majority of U.S. companies have reported better-than-expected earnings and painted a fairly rosy picture for the coming months, helping many of the world's major indexes push back above the levels they were over a year ago before Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Microsoft's earnings Friday were similarly strong. Though its profit in the last quarter fell by 18 percent, Microsoft shares jumped as much as 9 percent as the decline was not as big as anticipated.
Microsoft was not enough to sustain the wider market rally, though, as investors used some downbeat comments from U.S. railroad companies Union Pacific and Burlington Northern to book some profits at the end of the week.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 88.65 points, or 0.9 percent, to 9,992.66 around midday New York time while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 10.30 points, or 0.9 percent, at 1,082.61.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average gained 15.82, or 0.2 percent, to 10,282.99 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 379.21, or 1.7 percent, to 22,589.73.
South Korea's Kospi advanced 0.6 percent to 1,640.17, while China's Shanghai index climbed 1.9 percent. Australia's index gained 1 percent, Taiwanese shares rose 0.5 percent and Indonesia's benchmark climbed 1.3 percent.
Oil prices fell slightly with benchmark crude for December delivery down 96 cents to $80.23 a barrel. The contract rose 18 cents to settle at $81.19 on Thursday.
The euro was steady at $1.5014 while the dollar rose 0.6 percent to 91.88 yen.
AP Business Writer Stephen Wright in Bangkok contributed to this report.

Mike Wallace Is a Miami Dolphin
Categories: South Florida Sports
All that's left is for him to pass a physical and iron out some contract stuff.
The signing fills a huge void in the Fins' receiving corps as well as locks in a young receiver with tremendous breakaway speed who can help spread the offense -- not to mention give Ryan Tannehill a potential big-play receiver to throw to.
It's not confirmed, but early reports say Wallace has signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Fins, with $30 million guaranteed.
Meanwhile, tight end Anthony Fasano has taken his shine box and joined the Kansas City Chiefs.

Can this be my main course? Because I'd be completely happy with just this and cranberry sauce! Yummmmm!
We've got less than 2 weeks till the big day and I seriously can't even wait. All I dream about is gravy and stuffing. Sourdough stuffing to be exact. Is that wrong? I hope not. because I am totally enjoying it.
Raise your hand if your favorite part of Thanksgiving is the stuffing?!? It's sooooo good. Little pieces of toasted bread that is coated with different savory seasonings and then drenched in eggs and stock and baked until golden brown and delicious. Oh I'm salivating just thinking about it.
The past 2 years I've had my go-to Rustic Herb Stuffing. It's amazing. And I will be making it this year along side this new Parmesan and Leek Sourdough Stuffing I developed last week. I mean who says you can only have 1 kind of stuffing at Thanksgiving? I certainly think 2 or 3 is totally acceptable. Especially if you use different kinds of breads. So a french bread stuffing, sourdough bread stuffing and a corn bread stuffing is happening. Kthanksbye
This stuffing is literally STUFFED with leeks and salty parmesan cheese. It's mind blowing and you need it in your lives. I beg you to make it. And invite me over for leftovers
It's super easy too. All you need to do is toast up some cubed sourdough bread.
Cut and clean a boat load of leeks. It's the right thing to do. And who doesn't love these veggies!
Saute them in some butter and olive oil with a fair amount of salt and pepper, scallions and garlic.
Toss together the veggie mixture, toasted bread and a whisked concoction of eggs, parmesan cheese and stock.
Make sure everything is folded together and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Place it into a baking dish and bake away! And while it's baking you have to patiently wait while your entire house starts to smell like the best stuffing ever. It's painful. Trust me.
And then serve it up for everyone to enjoy!
I'm pretty positive that you guys need to make this for Turkey day. Perhaps you should even make it tonight for dinner too. And then again next week. It seems like the sensible thing to do And that way by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, you'll be able to make this sourdough stuffing with your eyes closed!
Also, why can't we eat stuffing more frequently throughout the year. Next year I am going to make stuffing at least once a month. It's too good to only have it annually!

Can this be my main course? Because I'd be completely happy with just this and cranberry sauce! Yummmmm!
This sounds brilliant! Great idea!
I have been dreaming about Thanksgiving also…I can't WAIT!!! Stuffing is my favorite part, and this looks amazing.
Yup – my favorite is the stuffing, too! This looks amazing!
Wow! I LOVE leeks, so this is right up my alley! Can't wait to dig in.
Yessss I'm all about the stuffing, too!!
Ahh, why did we already celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada?! Maybe I will just make this for myself and eat it straight from the pan to distract myself from the fact that I have to work on Thanksgiving haha!
holy wowzers. i want this right now
I have been thinking about this stuffing ever since I saw it! I can't wait for Thanksgiving! I may have to may it early for a "test drive" this week (a.k.a. a "stuff-my-face-with-it drive") before the big day!
I love this recipe and am so glad I found it–just in time for Thanksgiving!

Screening and Testing to Detect Cancer
What Is Cancer Screening?
Some types of cancer can be found before they cause symptoms. Checking for cancer (or for conditions that may lead to cancer) in people who have no symptoms is called screening. Screening can help doctors find and treat some types of cancer early. Generally, cancer treatment is more effective when the disease is found early. However, not all types of cancer have screening tests and some tests are only for people with specific genetic risks.
Overview of Cancer Screening and Testing

Screening for Specific Types of Cancer
For some types of cancer, research shows that using certain screening tests regularly will reduce deaths from that cancer.
For other types of cancer, screening methods are in use or being studied, but their ability to reduce the number of deaths from cancer has not been established.

Ron Paul told a room full of veterans Wednesday night that he plans to drastically cut overseas spending.
"It would mean that we would bring the troops home," Paul slowly said, smiling as he touted the economic benefit during a salute to veterans rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
Earlier in the day, Paul again questioned why the United States needed to maintain a military presence in Australia, Germany, Japan and South Korea — even as the death of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il raised concerns about the region's stability.
"How long do we have to stay in Korea?" he asked at a campaign event at the Iowa Speedway in Newton. "We were there since I was in high school."
Paul's non-interventionist view for America is sure to incite even more criticism from his GOP rivals, who have been hammering the Texas congressman for his view that Iran should be able to develop a nuclear program for peaceful purposes.
Romney became the latest in line Wednesday to take a swipe at the Texas congressman, a day after Gingrich unabashedly said that he would not vote for Paul if he were to win the GOP nomination.
Romney indirectly blasted comments made by Paul earlier this month that cautioned against "jumping the gun" on Iran.
"At the same time, the greatest threat Israel faces and, frankly, the greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran," the former Massachusetts governor said during a meet-and-greet at a coffee shop in Muscatine, Iowa. "We have differing views on this. Some of the people — actually one of the people running for president — thinks it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I don't."
Michele Bachmann, who is hanging at the bottom of the polls, said Paul would be a "dangerous president" and he would "wait until one our cities is wiped off the map" before confronting Iran.
Michele Bachmann was dealt a surprise blow Wednesday night when her state co-chair State Sen. Kent Sorensen announced he would support Paul, changing allegiances just six days before the first in the nation Iowa Caucuses. Sorensen said he switched candidates because Paul was "the most conservative of this group."
"It's difficult — but it's the right thing to do," Sorensen told the crowd Wednesday night.
Paul also received a surprise in the form of protestors, who briefly interrupted the start of his speech.
"Freedom of speech, ain't it wonderful," Paul yelled over a roaring crowd whose applause drowned out the voices of the protestors.
Paul returned to the campaign trail on Wednesday with some more good polling news.
Twenty-two percent of likely Iowa GOP voters in a new CNN/Time/ORC International Poll picked Ron Paul as the candidate of choice – placing him just behind Mitt Romney at 25 percent.
Recognizing his front-runner status this morning in Newton, Iowa, Paul looked out at all the reporters and television cameras and remarked on his rising popularity in the state.
"There does look like there are more cameras than there used to be," said Paul adding "For many years, the crowds were very small."

I was asked about this just
Avoid design burn-out by limiting client revisions
Beginning a new design project is always exhilarating. You're energized and excited about working on the project and creating something effective and beautiful. But have you ever had a project that, by the end of it, you just "want to get it done"? You stop caring so much about the design because you've been forced to change it so many times since the original concept, you don't even feel like it's your work anymore? I've been there.

Gatekeeping casts doubts on homelessness data
Crisis has questioned government figures indicating homelessness applications are down, suggesting councils may be keeping numbers artificially low.
Homelessness figures released last week cover the period from July to September 2009. They indicate a 24 per cent fall in the number of people making applications to their local council for help with homelessness and a 28 per cent fall in the number of applications accepted by councils, compared with the same period in 2008.
However, research by Crisis indicates that some councils are 'gatekeeping' - preventing people approaching them for help making an application, so artificially keeping the number of applications down.
In an undercover investigation, Crisis mystery shoppers posed as people asking for help with homelessness and made 45 visits to councils to test their responses. The results were published in their No one's priority report.
In at least 13 instances the mystery shopper did not even get to talk to a housing officer, being turned away by a receptionist and told that they were 'not a priority'. In only nine instances was the shopper given the opportunity to make a homelessness application or did it appear that they eventually might have been.
Leslie Morphy, chief executive of Crisis, said the research threw the reliability of the government figures into doubt.
'We found widespread gatekeeping in our sample, meaning numbers of applications were kept low, but homeless people were not given the help they needed,' she said.
Ms Morphy added: 'Particularly during these tough economic times, councils must be helping all those who approach them, rather than hiding behind legal distinctions.'
According to the law and government guidance, everyone who is officially recognised as homeless is entitled, at a minimum, to advice and assistance from their local council to prevent and resolve their homelessness.
Readers' comments (3)
At last we have some substantive evidencce of gatekeeping, yet the fact it takes an undercover 'mystery shopping' exercise to highlight this is quite offensive.
Anyone thats involved in any way with homelessness knows that gatekeeping is endemic and that all the official views on its figures (and claimed reductions) are deeply flawed and unreliable.I was homeless for a time in Watford. Filled out the housing application form stating this. But for some strange reason, Watford council don't class having nowhere to go and no roof over your head as homeless. Never did figure out what is classed as "homeless" in Watford.
Band C on their choice based lettings website is among other things the homeless catagory. But for some strange reason, if you're homeless, you go into Band E!!!
The mose useless council in BritainWe have been living in a single room in a B&B (breakfast we actually do not get) for the last 20 months thanks to our incompetent council! When we first approached out Local Authority (my partner had knee surgery and needed ground floor accommodation) they told us we were not a priority and we would have to wait, which was fair enough and we started looking for alternative accommodation. Soon after my partner-suffered stroke, that is when the Council turned us away time after time. Even when my partner was discharged from hospital, he had to do stairs on his backside in a communal entrance whilst awaiting heart surgery and still the Council did nothing! Only after 6 months, someone on the off chance in another borough mentioned the Homeless Persons Unit to us, we then approached our Council and were kept for 8 hours while they faffed about! They did exactly what Birmingham Council done, ignoring the fact that people are homeless at home and are in breech of their duty. When are people going to realize that Councils do not have homeless people, only people with housing needs….the fake it up so they can get their beacons and bask in the lime light while people suffer!

ABC News' David Chalian and Karen Travers report: When President Obama unveiled his plan to grow the U.S. effort in Afghanistan at the White House this morning, he did so without attaching a timetable for withdrawal of US troops. So how long can Americans expect to see U.S. forces actively engaged in Afghanistan? We posed that question to foreign policy pro Michael O'Hanlon of Brookings Institution today on ABC News Now's "Politics Live."
"It's going to take us a good year to see the real results of this kick in because the forces will deploy gradually and because Afghanistan is so far behind in its own institutional development. It's not going to be as fast as the surge produced results in Iraq. So, I would argue that we should be talking about time but really to council patients. It's going to take a year to begin to see results and we're going to have to stay at this higher level of forces for the entirety of Mr. Obama's first term," said O'Hanlon.

Ann Romney makes emergency landing in Colorado

DENVER (AP) — A plane carrying Ann Romney, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's wife, made an emergency landing Friday afternoon after smoke filled the cabin. No injuries were reported.
An apparent electrical fire forced the detour on the flight from Omaha, Neb., to Los Angeles, campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. ...

When you love pizza and you can't have cheese, life is tough! But thank goodness I found this recipe for a creamy avocado pizza topping in 'Rejuvenate Your Life' by Serene Allison (which I've slightly altered). It is so delicious, even my kids love it and come back begging for more. Yay! So for all you dairy-free pizza lovers out there - here's one for you! (By the way, you don't have to be dairy free to love it. And it's great as a dip too.)
I also like to sprinkle macadamia 'cheese' on top - you can find that recipe here in this post.
1. First, make and cook your pizza bases - I usually make either a yeast spelt crust, or a yeast-free scone dough crust, or a gluten free crust. (The gluten free crust can be made with 2 tsp baking powder instead of yeast, if you want it to be yeast free.) You can even make a raw, dehyrdrated crust if you like.
2. While they're cooling, make the topping. In your Thermomix, mince the garlic on speed 7 for 3 seconds, then add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth & fluffy:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 large avocados
- 4 tblspns raw almond butter (or you can just chuck in a couple of handfuls of roasted or raw almonds and a tablespoon of olive oil if you don't have any almond butter made up already)
- 2 tblspns Tamari
- a small piece of fresh chilli (optional)
- handful of fresh parsley
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- sea salt to taste
- juice of 1 lemon
3. Spread a good, thick layer on each pizza base, and top with some or all of the following:
- sun dried tomato strips
- kalamata olives
- green olives
- raw capsicum strips or pieces
- roasted red capsicum or eggplant
- diced fresh tomato or cherry tomato halves
- chopped fresh herbs (chives, lemon balm, oregano, basil)
- drizzle of fresh lemon juice (opt.)
I like to put all the toppings into separate bowls and let everyone choose their own toppings - the kids enjoy eating this way. Warning: you will have garlic breath afterwards, but it will be completely worth it!!! :D

250 W Rickshaw commercially plying
The company designs and manufactures Battery operated three wheeled vehicles.
The Company aims to promote battery operated vehicles commercially in the market by manufacturing the product. These Vehicles will remove the drudgery of the Rickshaw Puller and have zero carbon footprint as it may gets charged through renewable energy sources.
The rickshaw manufacturing presently is an unorganized industry with no quality control, and there are as many rickshaw designs as the cities in which they ply.
These rickshaws are so poorly made that the design, quality & mechanics of these cycle rickshaw is very miserable and can be considerably improved. The pullers' working conditions are inadequate due to which they are prone to health problems. Hence there is the need to improve the design of the existing rickshaw to make it user-friendly and bring quality control in its manufacture and also improve the working conditions of the rickshaw.
It is estimated that there are about ten lakh rickshaws in the entire region of Delhi. It is also estimated that close to 80 lakh cycle rickshaws ply on Indian roads. The exact number could be even greater, since there are no reliable records available.
In some cities and small towns, they are the major means of transport. They provide employment to more than eight million rickshaw pullers. The replacement of Cycle Rickshaw creates a huge market for our products as it is environment friendly and ergonomic and life enhancing for the user.

Car Maintenance and Emergency Preparedness (Zone Defense)
Posted By Jessica Fisher On June 28, 2013 @ 9:04 pm In Homekeeping,Travel | 7 Comments
Check out these easy organizing tips for emergency preparedness — both big and small — that you might encounter when on the road.
This month's Zone Defense assignment [4] entailed getting your travel and transportation "stuff" in order. And this month we've done a lot of that. We made two road trips totalling 630 miles, had house guests twice, pulled out sleeping bags for a number of occasions, and hit the beach and local parks more than once.
But honestly? Except for finally unpacking my suitcase from our trip out of town two weeks ago, I couldn't think of what to do for my zone defense work. Until I looked at the Scourge [5] and realized that hubs had already done a lot of the work. Yay!
In the past couple weeks, he's done the following:
Isn't he amazing?! He saved us a ton of money doing it all himself. The Scourge is now a total pleasure to drive, all neat, clean, and able to stop on a dime.
The "problem" with this — and I say "problem" with quotation marks — is that the Scourge was left completely empty. Look!
This is a good problem to have, actually. I get that. At the same time, it's not realistic to drive around with six kids ranging in age from 4 to 16 without some kind of backup.
What will I do if I need to blow my nose and I can't find anyone's sweatshirt lying around in the backseat?
What will I do when I get to the store with no shopping bags?
What will I do if I open the window one foggy morning and all kinds of water drips on the door locks and auto-window panel, threatening to short it all out and I don't have anyone's grubby sock to clean it up with?
Where is my hand sanitizer and my chapstick?!
You get me, right?
I love the clean car. Love it! But, I also know that it needed to be stocked to make our future road trips and simple runs to the store a little more convenient. So, I set about stocking the Scourge.
Here's what I did:
I sorted through all the clutter that had come from the glovebox and console. Wow. Lots of junk. Half of it was repair records from the previous owners that I could file elsewhere and not cart around with us. A lot was trash. The rest got put away or relocated.
Recently, we went to a local amusement park in the late afternoon. We'd had lunch and didn't think we'd be hungry, but we were. Lamenting the fact that we didn't pack snacks, we succumbed to their $4 soft pretzel. My land! Not again.
I've got a snack box packed with nonperishables: protein bars, crackers, fruit bars, paper towels, straws, and plastic spoons. Now we're set.
While we probably won't need them in a true emergency, it's nice to know that in the case of earthquake, fire, or tsunami, we've got some victuals on hand. A small case of water bottles in on my list to add to the supply.
I've had the gps lose its signal before. I've found myself at a parking meter without coins. I've needed to write a note and not had anything to write with. I've accidentally left my wallet at home.
All those problems are now solved with a few things packed in a cute little folder:
On both of our road trips this month, our kids needed meds for allergies and fever. I ended up going to a local pharmacy and paying the going rate. Now, I have a small apothecary with me in case we need it, including bandages and extra sunglasses, because, yes, we've bought those on vacation before, too.
7/1/13 Edited to add: A reader suggested in the comments that storing OTC meds in the car was unsafe. I have contacted a number of friends who are medical professionals. The jury is split three ways: no, yes, and I don't know. I am going to do further research. In the meantime, I've removed the OTC's from the car until I find a definitive answer. Please use your best judgement. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.
I also included a "just-in-case" bag which has extra sweatshirts and socks for everyone. It also holds a blanket and an umbrella.
I loaded into the back: a roadside emergency kit, the snacks box, the just-in-case bag, my shopping bags, and our pool/beach bag.
In the glove box is a red folder with registration and insurance, our blue pouch o' stuff, and some barf bags for the girls.
In the center console is the first aid, sunscreen, and a nail file.
You never know when you'll need to file your nails.
Basically, my car is like one big purse. And you can't carry around an empty purse, now, can you? It's interesting to note that since I packed our emergency kits last fall, I'm more aware of what we might need in the event of a real emergency. So many of the items that I added to the Scourge's load are supplies that would come in handy if we experienced a natural disaster away from home.
This is how we got on Zone Defense this month.

Macphersons Reward in strong ASX debut
PUBLISHED: 24 Dec 2010 13:33:49 | UPDATED: 24 Dec 2010 13:33:49PRINT EDITION: 24 Dec 2010
Junior gold mine developer MacPhersons Reward Gold has made a strong debut on the Australian stock exchange.
The Perth-based company's shares were up s6¢, or 20 per cent, at 36¢ at 1pm AEDT.
MacPhersons' initial public offering was for 100 million shares at 30¢ per share to raise $30 million.
The company has a portfolio of gold exploration projects at Coolgardie in Western Australia's Goldfields region, with its flagship project being a historical mine of the same name as the company.
MacPhersons said in its prospectus that it had spent about $3 million in recent months to re-open three historical open pits, develop an operational mine site and complete a pit floor validation diamond drilling program of the MacPherson pit.
"The company has the potential to be a producer at an early stage through further development of the existing open cut projects and the new discovery project at Tycho," MacPhersons said in the prospectus.

Had a great start to the new year driving to the airport when a lovely stone decided to have a fight with the edge of my windscreen and won resulting in a 6inch crack now moving nicely along the windscreen. Auto Glass are the boys everything sorted with one phone call and £75 excess. Has anyone had any mishaps lately that could have been without.
January 12, 2013, 11:14 pm
Almost bloody big stone just got deflected by the edge of the bonnet closest the driver side windscreen took a chunk out my paint heck of a thud it made
January 12, 2013, 11:25 pm
end of 2011 when we ahd the scoob, went past a gritter (40mph both travelling) well you can imagine the sound (ting ting ting ting) ended up with 7 minor chips on the screen, loads on bumper/bonnet and a chipped headlight....... reported to highway maintenance and all we got back was driver was doing his job!!!!!!!!!!
January 12, 2013, 11:51 pm
that's terrible what happened to you. i was so annoyed i have only had the car a matter of months the air in the car was a tad on the blue side when it happened as was likely your's when the gritter went past.
January 12, 2013, 11:56 pm
i dread gritters, if can i intend slow down as much as possible (less damage in theory) but the noise just gets repeated in your head. when you get to your destination you get out to see if there is any damaage, then you coss and curse lol. then out comes me paint man to toutch them up...... luckly the scoob, we had one of them window screen people at out local morrisons, did them all for 25 notes ( no reciept lol) but body shop was a different matter.....
January 13, 2013, 12:08 am
its costly like just for the few seconds it takes for the gritter to past. its handy when you know a man who knows a man to get things sorted. my fiesta got bashed 2years ago and the person drove off right in the front arch went to the body shop and its was crazy money.spoke to a mate and it only cost a case of beer and the pot of paint,lol
January 13, 2013, 5:53 pm
Had a very close shave with a deer last Saturday. It just leaped in front of me from behind a hedge along a fairly fast country road. Its probably the first time in nearly two years I've had to brake with such force.
