Maples Collegiate getting $3.2 million roof
Construction more than half over, still over 100 days to go
Students at Maples Collegiate have millions of dollars hanging above their heads — nearly $3.2 million in roof repairs, that is.
"This is a very substantial project," said Wayne Shimizu, secretary treasurer of the Seven Oaks School Division.
The replacement of Maples Collegiate's roof is part of the school division's five-year capital planning process with the Public Schools' Finance Board.
"In this process we request major capital repairs and replacements which they will evaluate and funds the project 100%," Shimizu said.
The work is being done in two phases, he added.
"The first phase, which began last year, costs around $1.6 million and the second phase, which will begin this year, will also cost around $1.6 million."
Paul Anderson , director of operations for Seven Oaks, said the roof work is about halfway done.
"We've got roughly 180 more days to go, tenders are out on the last of the work," he said. "We are upgrading insulation. Tar and gravel is being replaced with a much longer lasting product."
Seven Oaks trustee Derek Dabee said the roof repairs are the latest in a series of upgrades at Maples Collegiate.
"The official opening of the new Maples Collegiate track and field, the new Maples Community Centre tennis and basketball courts project will be open come the end of the month," he said.
The official opening of a $210,000 outdoor tennis and basketball courts at Garden City Collegiate was held on June 4.

Accredited stock collapses; home lender considers sale
RANCHO BERNARDO - Stung by bad loans, a worsening credit crunch and a dramatic plunge in its stock price, Accredited Home Lenders announced Tuesday it was considering putting itself up for sale.
Shares of Accredited plummeted after the announcement, falling 65 percent Tuesday, or $7.43, to close at $3.97 - the biggest percentage loser on all the national stock exchanges. The stock had already fallen 27 percent Monday. Over the last year, Accredited has lost more than 90 percent of its stock value.
Accredited, a lender to subprime borrowers, or those with poor credit, has been caught up in the sudden meltdown in the subprime market. With a speed that has stunned real estate analysts, the once high-flying subprime industry finds itself fighting to stay afloat, spreading nervousness throughout the broader residential real estate market.
Another subprime lender, Irvine-based New Century Financial, announced Tuesday it owes $500 million more to Credit Suisse than it first estimated. New Century announced earlier this month it is under a federal criminal investigation for accounting errors.
Investors are worried about the rising rate of subprime foreclosures. The percentage of loans beginning foreclosure reached a record high of 0.54 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006, fueled by rising subprime foreclosures, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Tuesday.
The late-payment rate for all subprime loans jumped to 13.33 percent in the fourth quarter, up from 12.56 percent in the prior period and the highest in four years. The delinquency rate for subprime borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages was even higher - 14.44 percent, also the highest in four years.
"Unfortunately, it appears delinquency rates will likely worsen before they improve," said Gina Martin, economist at Wachovia Corp. Economics Group.
"It's clear the industrywide issues are really hurting everybody," said Bud Leedom, a San Diego-based stock analyst. "When one domino falls, it pushes over the domino it's touching."
Leedom said companies that specialize in subprime lending will likely disappear. While those loans will still be made, he said, they will be offered by companies such as Countrywide that do the bulk of their business in conventional loans.
Credit crunch
Companies like Accredited, which bundle their home loans and sell them to investors, are required by investors to buy back loans if they go bad, Leedom said. These unappealing "repurchase" terms are written into the sale contract, Leedom said, because investors otherwise wouldn't have bought them.
Making matters worse, the subprime companies like Accredited are having trouble finding the money to buy back these loans, because their own lines of credit have been restricted.
In its Tuesday statement, Accredited said it had paid $190 million since Jan. 1 in margin calls to the creditors. Margin calls occur when the value of loan collateral decreases. The borrower is required to put up more cash to compensate for the decrease.
The damage is likely to spread beyond the subprime sector to the real estate market as a whole, said analysts such as San Diego-based Rich Toscano and Christopher Thornberg, an economist at the UCLA Anderson School. These analysts, who have long warned of a housing "bubble," say that a stream of must-sell homes re-entering the market will depress home prices by increasing supply. On the demand side, tighter credit requirements will reduce the pool of eligible buyers and send buyers on shaky financial ground into default when they can't refinance their loans.

Well I don't grow a large number of roses, but I have had to cut down 80% of what I do grow. This is the 1st time since I've been growing roses I won't have the big show.. So glad I took pictures.....This past winter was brutal on my roses....
I'm so sorry -- But if it makes you feel better, Southern California is going through a second wave of temperatures in the 100's, with very high winds.
Not only are there multiple wildfires, burning down multiple homes and businesses, but -- a smaller but personal tragedy -- our entire spring bloom is dried to potpourri.
No doubt your plants will regrow with exceptional vigor. Especially since their root systems are fully established.
BTW your pictures were always impressive. When I saw how well Mme Legras, A. Mackenzie, Prairie Joy & other Canadian roses grew for you, I was determined to order them from Pickering myself.
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. To lose almost an entire spring flush has to be awful.
Like Jeri, my roses are toast after the horrible wind and high temperatures of yesterday and today. We are surrounded by seven fires, six of which began today and one yesterday, and our county has declared a state of emergency. It's a very disquieting time.
Sorry for all of you in areas where the weather has turned on your roses. Even here in Pacifica which is usually chilly and foggy we are having sun sun sun and temps in the 80s. My roses are wondering what's happening and are wilting too.
Fingers crossed for you Ingrid that all will be well fire-wise for you. Jeri, hope no fires are near you.
All of you have my sympathies: horrible weather across the board. No doubt it will be our turn one day. Ingrid, I hope your home stays safe! Mark, did your plants survive if not their top growth? You have my best wishes for their robust recovery, if no flowers this spring!
This winter was brutal. Surprisingly all our roses made it through. The wild multi-flora roses did not suffer at all. After cutting down some that were at least 18 feet tall in the trees I am still digging thorns out of my fingers and hands.
I have one miniature rose I received from a frenemy named Alice. So of course I call the rose "Malice". She will never die, no matter that she is planted in soil that is clay and gravel. She has survived drought, a polar vortex and a flash flood. She is immortal.
There are nine fires in our area now with high winds predicted for another 24 hours and temperatures expected to be up to 103 degrees tomorrow. I feel incredible respect for the firemen who have to work in these horrific conditions in their heavy gear. I hope they all stay safe.
This has been such a harsh year for so many!
Mark, I am so sorry that you lost your rose flush this spring. I know how we all wait in anticipation for that magical burst of colorful life. Your photo documents an incredible garden! May it return with resilience next spring.
Ingrid and Jeri, not fires already?! Sending hopes of safety and relief to you both. I know that roses may not be foremost on your minds in the face of other events, but I also know how hard it is to watch the fragile pieces of your corners of heaven succumb to the heat and smoke. I'm so sorry. Ingrid, please know my concern and my thoughts are with you and yours (human and animals) as you wait and wonder, surrounded by fires and living in the middle of a state of emergency! I wish I had rain to send your way, but Portland hit the low nineties today. Unprecedented!
The roses will come back. I had to cut most of my teas down to the roots because it dipped below zero here two nights and apparently that was enough to kill all the growth above ground. These teas were over 6 feet tall and wide. But now they are full of new growth (one may be dead, jury is still out....). I did lose some HTs, but I will replace them and remember to bury my grafts. The roses that didn't die seemed to relish the big cut back and I have all 'new' roses this year.
I feel bad for posting , When so many have serious issues. My roses I'm sure will return. I was having a hard time getting use to the disappointment that made me post. 16 yrs. of beautiful roses...I'm hoping my perennials will pick up the slack this yr..
I hope everyone in the west stays safe....Thnx for taking time to cheer me up. Your all in my thoughts and prayers....
Mark, please don't feel bad for posting. In your place I'd be devastated, and the fact that others have problems doesn't help with your own disappointment. I can see from your picture that you have many beautiful companion plants and that certainly helps, but we all look forward with great anticipation to the spring flush which is the highlight of the rose year.
Fortunately Jeri doesn't have any fires in her region that I know of. However, it's tinder-dry everywhere here and there's the possibility of fires in any area in southern California, or in many other western states for that matter. We'll just have to hope for the best.

Is this light fixture big enough for my foyer?
I am looking at replacing my light fixture in my foyer. It is a 2-story foyer, and the dimensions are about 7 ft x 12 ft. The light fixture is about 26" tall and the diameter is about 18". I've attached a picture of the fixture. Would this be a good size. Also, is there a rule of thumb of how far it should be hung from the ceiling? Thanks for any help.
You haven't provided all the details of your foyer, so just note that with this fixture, if you can look down into your foyer from the second floor, you're likely going to be looking at the bare light bulbs in this fixture because this fixture allows some of the light to reflect up as well as down.
This drawing is rough because I'm guessing on heights and details in your foyer. Here is a link that might help you select and hang the fixture.
You might want to also refer to a previous conversation on this forum about this subject: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/decor/msg0414360713685.html

When we bought the #1905Cottage, the only way to access the laundry room was from the front porch. Sometime in the 1950's or 1960's the then-owners had taken part of the porch and turned it into a laundry room. So it had no heat and the floor was the concrete cement porch. When we remodeled the house, we cut a hole in the west wall of the kitchen and opened up an entrance to the laundry room. We … [Read more...]

Cuomo Ready To Fund NYC Pre-K
By Dave Lucas
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he's prepared to write a check to fund all the costs of universal pre-kindergarten as fast as New York City can phase in the program.
Cuomo made the comments to The New York Times, a day after Mayor Bill de Blasio refused to back down from his signature proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy to expand pre-K — despite Cuomo's inclusion of alternate funding in the state budget to pay for it.
Cuomo questioned why the tax was needed if the state would fully fund pre-K.
A spokesman for the mayor responded that de Blasio believed the fairest way to secure a dedicated, full five years of funding was a tax on the rich.
Cuomo said he didn't expect the Legislature to approve it.

BIGinsight: Consumer Confidence Struggled Up In August

Consumer confidence is gaining, according to a BIGinsight September survey, with almost 38% of respondents saying they are confident or very confident that the economy will grow. The improved sentiment, and the BIGinsight confidence reading is at a 13-month high, translates into flat spending on furniture but increased outlays on home décor over the next 90 days, the market research firm noted.
Yet while more than one in five consumers, 21.3% of the population is expecting fewer pink slips over the next six months, up from 16.9% in August and 12.8% a year ago, the consumer research firm noted that 24.9% predict more and 53.8% the same number of layoffs into early 2013.
Also, increasing confidence didn't lead to decreasing frugality among consumers in September when 49.5% of survey respondent said they remain practical when purchasing, rising six points from August and remaining in line with September 2011.
Robust seasonal corporate hiring may have given consumers a bit more confidence about the economy going into the holidays, but the majority of consumers, at 56.8%, remain mindful about buying just what they need, up from 52% in August, and just below the 58.4% in September 2011.
Fiscal priorities in September remained decreasing overall spending, at 33%, and paying down debt, at 32.8%, both up slightly from August. An larger number of consumers said they plan to pad their bank accounts, 28.9%, and pay with cash more often, 20%, although that intention may not translate into economy-wide action. The United States Bureau of Economic Analysis noted that consumer personal expenditures increased in August.
Nearly three-quarters of shoppers said that fluctuating gas prices impact their spending, with driving less and reducing dining out remaining popular options for easing pump pain.

After Amaranth, Amaranth, Brian Hunter, Nick Maounis
Hunter, Amaranth Dream Team Still Finding Ways To Lose
We've been sitting on this story because we didn't want to rain on the comeback parade Brian Hunter's been enjoying at the Peak Ridge Commodity Volatility & Fallen Heroes Shot at Redemption Fund, and Nick Maounis had quite nearly completed the assembly of his pussy posse, so there was that, but we can't in good […]
Nick Maounis's old hedge fund might've gone under because he hired a Canadian (who failed to effectively manipulate the natural gas market) but I think this time he's got it figured out. Maounis has reportedly scored Peter Chung to run a credit book for his new venture, Connecticut-based Verition Fund Management. Chung comes from Highland […]
Amaranth, Hedge Funds, Nick Maounis
Why We May Not Want To Run Nick Maounis Out Of Town On A Rail
Yesterday we noted that calls for Nick Maounis to be banned—or at least shunned—from the capital markets after the collapse of his hedge fund, Amaranth, might be a little overwrought. The losses suffered by Amaranth were large, and many investors lost money, but more rational investors will want to ask whether this indicated some fundamental […]
Amaranth, Hedge Funds, Nick Maounis
How To Think About The Return of Nick Maounis
Reacting to the news that Amaranth founder Nick Maounis may be starting a new hedge fund after his last venture lost billions, Bloomberg's Matthew Lynn asks "So what exactly does it take to make a man unemployable in the hedge-fund industry?" There was a time when financial managers who lost everything were expected to defenestrate […]

Our coalition has been covered and our leaders quoted in leading outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and more.
"What businesses find is that workers are better able to take care of the family responsibilities they might have, come back to work, be more productive, be more engaged and less likely to drop out of the workforce," said Vicki Shabo, vice president of the National Partnership for Women and Families.
The nonprofit National Partnership for Women and Families has pushed for paid sick time laws, which it considers "basic minimum protections that working families need, so they won't have to lose a job or forfeit income when they have the flu or a family member is sick," says Vicki Shabo, the organization's vice president.
Only 12 percent of U.S. workers have access to paid family leave through their employers, and nearly 40 percent of private-sector workers – and 80 percent of low-wage workers – don't have a single paid sick day, according to the National Partnership for Women and Families.
The United States has no national paid sick day policy, which means that 40 percent of the workforce — more than 40 million private sector workers — lose income when they stay home with their kids, according to the National Partnership for Women and Families.

Fears of a Tet Offensive in Iraq
Today the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk witnessed one version of what an Iraqi Tet offensive might look like. At midday, a car bomb shook the city. Then came another blast, followed by one more. The coordinated trio of explosions left at least 75 people dead and offered a horrifying glimpse of the kind of organized assaults that American officials fear could unfold nationwide. Imagine a day in Iraq when catastrophic car bombs rip through not just one Iraqi city but several. Explosions coordinated to go off nearly simultaneously in places like Baghdad, Baqubah, Ramadi, Fallujah and Mosul, all places where insurgents are actively pursuing bombing campaigns, could bring about the highest death daily death toll seen yet and leave no question about the insurgency's ability to hold the entire country in a deadly grip more or less at will. That's one version.

Pre-Call Planning is the Key to Sales Call Success
in Business
Lively discussion with Lisa Magnuson: Pre-Call Planning your Single Source for Prospecting Success
When was the last time your team closed a seven-figure deal? Despite the best sales talent, many high potential, big contracts either get whittled down, end up stalled, or are lost completely. Large, strategic accounts are complex and require a very different approach to identify, develop and win. Can you afford to chase smaller opportunities at the expense of bigger deals that can exponentially change your company's growth curve?
Top Line Sales has a proven track record of guiding account teams to land larger deals. We're proud to have enabled our clients to land over $100 million in new contracts. We are not simply advice-givers - we work side-by side with your account executives, running deal war rooms, applying just-in-time expertise, tools and live deal coaching where it counts: in the field.
Example: Top Line Sales helped one of their TOP Line Account War Room clients land a contract for a new customer worth 20m – their second largest deal in the country for that solution set

The average person produces over 4 pounds of trash every day, and about 1.5 tons of solid waste each year. While some 75% of it is recyclable, we only follow through on about 30 percent.*
So, now that it's time to do that spring cleaning, our guest says it is the perfect time to go room by room and see what we can "upcycle". Better still, she's got advice on how to get the kids involved.
Green living expert and author Sara Snow joins us now.
Good Morning, Sara!
1. Sara, let's start with the room we spend most of our time in, the kitchen. What can we be recycling there that we may not be doing already?
2. It's tough to get kids to part with their toys, even when they're broken, but now there's a way to recycle them and get our kids excited about helping the planet at the same time, right?
3. What about the living/ family room? What kinds of items can be reused from there?
4. Sara, what about the electronics in our house? When they break or we don't need them any more we can recycle those as well, can't we?
5. Where can we get more information?

A red dragon afghan. My granddaughter loves dragons, so I found a clip art graphic through Google images. Then I went to the website (that was recommended here)that takes your graphic and puts it on a grid, for needlework. This one is 120x150. That is tough to read on one sheet of paper, so I blew it up in sections, 200% on a printer. IT WORKS!

Iranian President's wife sparks outrage with 'wild party'
underground life in Iran
A social media campaign has turned the tables on ultra-conservative Iranian MP Hosseinian. He claimed to have footage showing scandalous goings-on at an all-female party hosted by the Iranian First Lady… and social media users joked that he must have gone undercover as a woman to get the footage. Photo published on Twitter.
Last Saturday, the Iranian
First Lady
, wife of Iranian President Hassan Rohani, threw a party to mark Women's Day, celebrated on the birthday of Prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatima. Ultra-conservative outcry at this so-called "lavish ball" has sparked many spoof videos from bloggers and Rohani supporters.
The president, a political moderate who has engaged in talks with Western powers over the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme, has been criticised by the country's ultra-conservatives for being too open towards the West. Now, his critics are turning on his wife, Sahebeh Arabi, alleging that she threw
a "Western-style" party
in which women did not act in accordance with Iran's strict state interpretation of Islam.
Arabi allegedly hosted this exclusive, all-female party in Sadabad Palace, home of the deposed Mohammad Reza Shah. The guest list was a who's who of the Tehran elite, including female politicians, the wives of ministers and ambassadors and even several actresses.
Upon hearing about the festivities, Iranian ultra-conservatives responded with outrage, criticising the government for excess during a difficult economic time.
But they were most angered by allegations of immorality at the party, especially because it happened on the day celebrating Fatima, who is seen as a pillar of virtue and Islamic living. Ultra-conservative critics claimed that the party involved unseemly activities such as
and a fashion show displaying
"un-Islamic" fashions
. A group of women held a protest outside of Rohani's office on Thursday.

Hamid Rasaei, an ultra-conservative MP, asked the government to publish the video of party so he and other critics could check if it adhered to religious codes.
Another hardliner MP, Hosseinian, claimed to have his own video and threatened to publish it, a claim refuted by guests who said that all cameras and mobile phones were confiscated at the door. Social media users immediately took to the net to wonder about how Hosseinian managed to get footage of an all-female party. Photoshopped pictures of him disguised as a woman began to circulate.
Social media users joked that ultra-conservative MP Hosseinian had infiltrated the party himself to get the footage. Speculating on his disguise, they photoshopped his head onto this picture of a woman wearing a chador. In reality, ultra-conservative women would cover their faces. Original photo from
Ebra design
The president's office slammed allegations in an
official statement
: "It is most shocking and regrettable that even a pure innocent gathering cannot escape an orchestrated chorus of gossip, slander and politically motivated lies filling the air."
They also responded to rumours that the party was supposedly Western-style: "All Islamic proscriptions were observed in this event ... women turned out in traditional folk dress ... only a few little girls capered and rejoiced."
This scandal, which highlights the tension between the president and ultra-conservatives, has provoked lots of humour on social media including parodies of the ultra-conservatives' call for a video of the party.
This spoof video of the party was posted by Persian
and journalist Farvartish Rezvanieh.
Farvartish Rezv...
"The government has to deal with a lot of pressure from the ultra-conservative media to not attend ceremonies viewed as non-Islamic."
and journalist Farvartish Rezvanieh, a supporter of Rohani, made this spoof video of the party.
I published this video with a caption saying that one of the guests at the party filmed it with her mobile. In reality, it's just a silly video I made of an orange with a party music in the background.
A lot of people fell for my joke and thought the orange video was really filmed at the president's wife's party. They started to analyse it in the comments. Others seemed to think that their internet connection wasn't strong enough for the video and that the video had frozen on the image of the orange!
The government has to deal with a lot of pressure from the ultra-conservative media to not attend ceremonies viewed as non-Islamic. For example, the government avoids having
alcohol on the table
or shaking hands with female hosts at diplomatic meetings for fear of scandals inside the country.
This makes me think of a similar scandal that happened when [senior cabinet member Esfandiar Rahim] Mashaei, a close associate of Ahmadinejad, attended in a conference in Turkey and there were women dancers [
Editor's note: Mashaei, who was head of Iran's Tourism Organization, attended a cultural ceremony featuring female dancers during a trip to Turkey in 2005. Footage of Mashaei at the ceremony appeared a year later and was broadcast on state media, sparking criticism that Mashaei violated Islamic principles by watching women dance
Honestly, the party given by Rohani's wife isn't any different from the many parties given by the wife of [
former Iranian president
] Ahmadinejad, but the ultra-conservatives are trying to make it into a big deal and pressure the government with it. But, honestly, I believe the conservatives' threat to publish a video is just a bluff. They are just trying to push the president's office to publish a video of the party and turn it into an even bigger scandal.

March 1897. A journalist from the Evening Sun asked Mark Twain to
comment on reports that he had passed away. His response?
"Tell them rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated."
And so it is with Robson Brown. Like Twain, we've had a setback or two but today finds us in the rudest of health. So, it's time we re-emerged with renewed purpose, vigour and optimism. Reborn. Rejuvenated. Ready to take on whatever the world has to throw at us.

Here are just a few of our recent campaigns to prove that when it comes to compelling and convincing creativity we're right on the button. And just for good measure we've also shared some of our Mission Group partners' work.
Advertising, design, branding, full studio production facilities, print buying and management; they all need the right balance of considered creativity, strategy, management and production to achieve their goals. Add to that digital marketing, signage, TV production, 3D modelling, media planning and buying, both on- and off-line, and there's nothing quite like this in our beloved North East base.
As part of the Mission Group we offer specialist sector experience and unrivalled insight from the brightest talent across the UK.
