Hey was up EWN people this is my first blog I just got back from Camp Pendleton for my Thanksgiving break well enough about my Bull****.
I've been watching WWE since 1989 when Hulk Hogan was WWF Champion the top face of the WWF, to be honest I was never a fan of his just for the fact that he always won, he was unstoppable hero and he just didn't catch my attention. I was more of a
This Blog is not asking the question "If Bret Harts Overated" Cause that is the dumbest thing I ever read. This Refering to a Artical on a different Website Called "411wrestling.com".

After reading DK Wrestling Savior's blog entitled "The State of Wrestling...Is the End Near?" I began to think about how the 'upcoming' Rock vs. Cena match at Mania. Many people are comparing this to the epic Rock vs. Hogan match from 'Mania 18, however there are some glaring differences that I can see, but for now I am going to concentrate on what I consider to be the greatest. The lack

What's poppin folks, RatedATB back at it again folks with his Raw thoughts. We are coming off the heels of Survivor Series and with plenty to build into, lets not waste anytime. Without further ado....

Your first (non-colorfully worded) reaction might be "You are a moron, that was a stupid decision!"
Taking a step back and looking at the big picture, it may have been a genius move.
Disclosure: I probably repeated and contradicted myself, feel free to call me out on it, if I'm mistaken on my 'facts' anywhere, also feel free to correct me.
Hello Splashers! Welcome back! It's been an interesting week in wrestling, so rather than doing a top 5, I figured I would give some of my thoughts on whats been happening.
On Matt Hardy.
Last week Matt Hardy and Matt Hardy Sky spent a lovely weekend together during one of Matt's visits,

There's not a lot I remember about my high school years, which, as nearly as I can recall, took place sometime during the 1960s and involved old people standing in the front of the class and saying something or other about really boring stuff.
One lesson I do remember, though, is that one of them predicted that some day we all would ride in driverless cars and whiz through the air with the aid of jet packs on our backs.
Some day may be getting closer. ...

The 240 Johnson County women crew will help this family build their home as a part of Habitat for Humanity's Women Build program. The first full build day is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 12th. This house will add to the thousands of Habitat homes built by women throughout the United States. It is the first Women Build undertaken by HFHJC. The program gives women the opportunity to learn construction skills and to move children out of poverty housing. According to Census Bureau statistics, more than 12 million U.S. children – one out of every six – are living in poverty.
The Public and media are invited to attend this groundbreaking event on August 14th at 9:00am and will have the opportunity to interview participants following the ceremony.
HFHJC, an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing.

AS IF Nobel prizewinning quasicrystals weren't strange enough already, the structures have just got alien status too. New evidence suggests the only known sample of a naturally occurring quasicrystal fell from space.
Quasicrystals are orderly, like conventional crystals, but have a more complex form of symmetry. Their discovery in the 1980s in a lab-made material garnered Daniel Shechtman of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa last year's Nobel prize in chemistry.
Now Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University and colleagues have evidence that the only known naturally occurring quasicrystal sample, found in a rock from the Koryak mountains in eastern Russia, is part of a meteorite (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1111115109).
They say the rock has experienced the extreme pressures and temperatures typical of the high-speed collisions that produce meteoroids in the asteroid belt. In addition, the relative abundances of different oxygen isotopes in the rock matched those of other meteorites rather than the isotope levels of rocks from Earth.

My 2 year old niece will love this turtleneck. It is a good design, and color, and will keep her warm. WonderKids is a good brand and I have bought from it before. The price is great as well, so I might get 2 or more for her. Great for winter to keep warm.

The shirts are not as thick as some others, but great for layering with sweaters or vests and colors stay true wash after wash. Size 4T runs a little wider than a reg. 4, but length is average.

RWANDA has only six psychiatrists yet the number of people with mental disorders is on the rise, health officials have said.
The revelation was made ahead of the Mental Health Day, which was globally marked last Friday.
Rwanda will mark the day on October 19 in Gisagara District.
Four of the psychiatrists are based at Ndera Neuropsychiatric Centre, which attends to around 200 patients with varying mental disorders.
The other two are deployed at Rwanda Military Hospital and University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK).
According to Dr. Alfred Ngirababyeyi of the Ndera Neuropsychiatric Centre, mental health services have been scaled up in all district hospitals countrywide.
"Although there is a shortage of psychiatrists, people can access mental health services in all district hospitals. We have more than 70 psychiatric nurses at mental hospitals while each district hospitals each has at least two or three," he said.
He noted that the number of patients seeking mental health services was on the rise as a result of awareness campaigns that have helped reduce stigma.
The head of Mental Health Division at Rwanda Biomedical Centre, Dr Yvonne Kayiteshonga, said that plans are underway to boost the number of psychiatrists in the country. Presently, four medics are abroad pursuing specialised training in psychiatry.
"We have few psychiatrists. However, these only handle critical and complicated cases. This doesn't mean people aren't accessing mental health services as we also have other medics who can handle some of the cases," she pointed out.
She said mental health was a priority, adding that plans are underway to decentralise it.
Kayiteshonga noted that Rwanda was among the few countries that allocated funds towards mental health services.
Globally, close to 450 million people have mental health disorders with more than 75 percent of them in developing countries. According to the World Health Organisation, over 80 percent of people with serious mental disorders in the developing world do not receive any treatment.

LOS ANGELES -- LaKisha Hoffman and Jen Hoffman rode past the Harlem Globetrotters to win "The Amazing Race."
The sisters, both coaches originally from Chicago, crossed the finish line first in Sunday's finale to win the CBS reality series' $1 million grand prize.
The sisters never came in first on any leg of the around-the-world race, but they overcame Globetrotters teammates Nathaniel "Big Easy" Lofton and Herbert "Flight Time" Lang to win the final leg.
The pair of athletic teams battled for the top spot after traveling from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Miami, Fla. Father-and-daughter duo Gary and Mallory Erwin lingered in third place after their taxi driver became lost.
The 18th edition featured 11 teams of veteran contestants who had never won the show's grand prize.

Campi ya Kanzi
Campi ya Kanzi is composed by six luxury tented cottages and by two tented suites. Each of them enjoys a different view, and accommodates one or two guests. An extra bed can be added for a child.
Four tented cottages feature twin beds, and the remaining two cottages and the suites have a king-size bed, all with feather mattresses and specially made linens imported from Italy.
Furniture was made at the camp with local logs (trees fallen by elephants). A table, two safari chairs, a colonial trunk, kilim rugs, brass lamps, shelves and hangers for your clothes, and daily fresh flowers complete the interior décor of the tented cottages. The suites feature a clothes room between the bedroom and the bathroom, and a sitting area next to the bed. Both suites enjoy an astonishing view of the lodge's waterhole and of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
All accommodations are constructed of stones, canvas, and wood, and they feature a full elegant bath with shower, bidet, basin, flush toilet and electric light. Bathrooms in the suites have double sinks. Brass plumbing fixtures add an unexpected touch of elegance and comfort, with hot (solar heated) and cold running water.
Each accommodation has a wide veranda to let you enjoy superb views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Tsavo Hills, and the Chyulu Hills.
Our state-of-the-art solar power system provides 220-volt electricity for the entire camp at any time (plugs and sockets are 2 pins, Italian).
Tembo ("Elephant" in Kiswahili) House is the heart of the camp. The clubhouse has a thatched roof and is beautifully constructed of local materials such as lava rocks and native timbers (collected in a National Forest where there is a sustainable plantation). Italian and Maasai décor are tastefully combined. It is open to the outdoors, and from its terrace you'll have a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Tembo House has a large lounge where you can enjoy our books about Africa, relax with a refreshing drink after your safari, listen to classical music while watching wildlife drinking at the nearby waterhole, and much more.
You will also take your meals at Tembo House, with your hosts – Luca and Antonella. Crystal glasses, fine table settings and candlelight dinners will be a highlight of your Campi ya Kanzi experience. Our cooks are specially trained in the preparation of fine Italian cuisine (home made fresh pasta, risotto, biscuits, bread, ice-cream…), which we feature along with international and local dishes. Fresh vegetables are supplied by our organic vegetable garden, as well as fresh milk from our organic dairy and fresh eggs from our chickens. Wines are from Antonella's Italian vineyards, specially bottled for Campi ya Kanzi.

James May on the Volkswagen Up
You saw it on last night's show, now read Captain Slow and Paul Horrell compare it to the Fiat Panda
Posted: 15 Jun 2015
JM So would I. I'm a bit torn now. If I were to replace mine, I'd still want a simple small car, because I believe in that. So would I buy a new Panda, or the Up? I'd actually be tempted by the Up, because it is genuinely small, without being bloody mindedly small, like a Smart car. But the Panda would possibly make me happier. If you make a dent in a Panda, it's a crying shame, but not the end of the world. Do that in the Up, and you'd have to mend it.
PH We also have a slight resistance to the inevitable. And there's something inevitable to this business about how VW has stomped into the small-car market with their phenomenal production volumes. It's like we don't want them to win again. And, besides, we have a history of liking small Italian cars.
JM Yes. They're always slightly endearingly crap somewhere. The button for the trip computer rattles on my Panda - it sounds like a mosquito as you drive along. The Up is very nice. But it has an exclamation mark. And, as you know, those are put there by someone who isn't confident in his own jokes. So I think I'm going to stick with my old Panda. The Up just isn't funny.

Sister learns her forgiven loan never forgotten
Posted: September 1, 2013 at 2:40 a.m.
DEAR ABBY: Twenty years ago, my oldest sister, "Olivia," loaned me $3,000 at a time when I was struggling to make ends meet. I promised to repay the loan at the end of the year. The time came and I wrote her a check for the full amount, but she didn't cash it. She said she didn't need the money and the loan was forgiven.

interviewBy Azuka Ogujiuba
His is a phenomenal rise by all standards after coming to public reckoning in Ade Bakare's talent hunt a few years back. But Alade Vincent realized several challenges still lie ahead despite having designed outfits for many Nigerian celebrities in such a short time on the scene. He shared his dreams with Azuka Ogujiuba
Initially you were supposed to be a medical student before you left school to pursue your passion. How did it happen?
I had wanted to be a gynecologist, but at a point, I just thought of being known for something that can be attached to my name. So I started dancing and modeling but I still had that designing thing in my head. Eventually I went in for Ade Bakare's young talent hunt in 2007 where I came fourth. It was after that time I made my final decision.
What were your parents' reactions when you left medical school?
Well, my dad disagreed because he has never loved the idea of me choosing such career. But my mum has always been in support to the extent that she was even with me at the finals of the Ade Bakare talent hunt competition.
As a young man growing up what was your aspiration before you became a fashion designer?
All I had in my head was being a medical doctor specialized in gynecology because in college I was among the best students in chemistry and biology in my class. So all I ever wanted was to be in the theater making sure my patients have a safe delivery.
What does fashion mean to you and how do you describe your personal style?
Fashion to me means the easiest way of expressing how you feel inside of you. My style is more of the vintage looks where I concentrate on precision and cuts because I have always loved the old school patterns.
What are your most memorable fashion moments?
Well, I have had so many but I would love to share just two moments. One was after the Ade Bakare's talent hunt. I was invited for the very first time in my life to exhibit in the Mode Men's Black Night, 2009. So after the exhibition, I never knew the American RnB singer, Lloyd was in the house. So I was told Lloyd wanted to meet me because he fell in love with my collections and he didn't mind ordering some of my piece. So, he came back stage with his whole Atlanta crew just to pick up my exclusive stone embroidery top. Secondly, it was when I met Ade Bakare at the Couture London 2007 before the finals of his talent hunt and told him some day we would both exhibit on the same runway and fortunately for me last year, he called me to be part of the designers that would exhibit with him celebrating his 20 years in the business and it was just so awesome because I felt honored.
Your fashion label is called Alvince; how did you coin the name?
I created the name Alvince from my first name Alade and my surname Vincent.
Which celebrity in the world would you like to design for?
Wow! They are so much but I would love to cloth David Beckham because he has got a strong dress sense and a strong carriage and charisma
Who amongst the world leaders will you like to dine and wine with?
Definitely Barack Obama because he is a strong leader with so much influence and his bullet-proof suits are well cut and wicked.
Who are the world famous celebrities whose phones you'd like to flip through?
P. Diddy and Halle Berry
Which world leader would you like to design for?
How old are you?
In my 20's
Which celebrity in the world do you think has a near complete perfect life style?
I think Will Smith
Which celebrity in the world do you think has the sexiest body?
Kim Kardashian
Which designer do you think has a collection that can stand the test of time?
Giorgio Armani himself.
If a fashion police were to search your wardrobe, would you be arrested for any fashion blunders?
Nope, though I am not perfect!
Who is Vincent Alade?
Vincent Alade is a simple humble young man who doesn't get carried away with the things of the earth because that's always my prayer to God. My looks is a complete opposite of my life style because people judge with what they see which at times is not always right.
Tell us about your background
I am the third child out of five children. My growing up wasn't easy at all because my mum and dad separated. So there were a lot of things I didn't enjoy as a kid, but I have always loved to mingle with rich kids because of my light skin and the talent God had given me. What I went through in life as a kid had strengthened and prepared me for today.
If you are to go on an island for an exotic weekend, what are the five things you would take along?
My Bible, my beach short, cologne, ear rings and my Hennessey because I love to be in my world reminiscing.
What does the word love mean to you?
Love means a spiritual strong connection between two people.
What are your most expensive fashion accessories?
My ear rings.
What is your present BlackBerry ringtone?
Everyday I'm Hustling by Rick Ross
If you were President, what will be the first law you will implement?
I would make sure everybody has the opportunity and right to speak their minds to the President.
From your perspective, what are your sincere views about the Nigerian Fashion industry?
I see greatness in the industry because we have got great designers who are really doing well home and abroad, though we still have a long way to go, we are on point and I believe Rome wasn't built in a day.

Discussion in 'Photography / Video' started by poirierpro, Nov 10, 2008.
I've got the w10 and the w60 they are awesome...
I've got an Olympus 1030sw and love it. It goes in my pants/shorts pocket when I'm wet wading and I never have to worry about it. I left it out in a complete downpour while backpacking with no worries. It takes great underwater shots and is a great all around point and shoot camera. It also has a great action sequence option for taking a series of fast photos.
I have the Olympus 1050 sw. I love it and would recommend it to anyone except someone who wants a true divers caomera. Small, lightweight, waterproof ~8ft, shock proof, a truely great fishing camera.
Olympus 790sw water proof shock proof takes good pics. What else could you ask for.
My Costco has the olympus (cant remember if its the 1030 or 1050) right now for $250. Seriously looking at it.
Another vote for the Optio, I have the W20 and am hoping Santa might see fit to toss me a w60. With a 4GB memory stick it's 1120 pictures worth of storage - which I've never come close to using - even on an extended trip.
I don't care much for the 3X digital zoom, but that's more of a general statement that covers all the vendors and cameras - rather than an indictment of this camera.
I posted some pix in the gallery of some underwater shots we took at Sea World in San diego. You can see the quality of the underwater mode.
WOW! Jesse those underwater pics are great!
I recently picked up an Olympus Stylus 850 SW and I am very happy. I am going to HI in two weeks and plan on using while snorkeling, fishing, etc. We'll see how it stands up to a daily dunking in saltwater.
Seems a small handful of us are looking at the 1030. I haven't seen any deals on it after limited surfing.....anyone sees a sub 350 deal on it, put the word here and I'll do same.
Any of the Olympus Stylus SW series. On Amazon you can find reviews of the various models, which should be helpful.
I have the Olympus 725SW (from Costco), and it's a very good camera. The pictures are very good, but not great. However, it's tougher than heck and waterproof, and I never have to worry about if it's going to work or not. I've used the video function frequently, and it's so convenient to take video and stills from the same compact waterproof, durable camera.
I recently listened to a Brian O'Keefe presentation, and he said that he takes his Olympus SW (I can't remember which he head, the 1030 or 1050 or . . . ?) everywhere with him. He loves it. If Brian endorses it, then it's the real deal . . .
iagree Thats for sure!
Great thread. Does anyone have experience with the 1030's in saltwater? Sure they are water proof but are they corrosion resistant as well?
I have the Olympus U720SW. I like it for what it is, a weatherproof camera that is easy to take where it can get wet. It does work fine underwater if you can find the fish.
It has some major drawbacks for me though.
You have to frame the picture by looking through the screen on the back. There is no 'look through' like on most other cameras. It is very hard to even see what you are trying to with light at your back.
The same thing applies to changing the settings. They change by pushing a little button and you must scroll through all 22 options to find the one you want. It is hard to see the screen outside in bright light and if you are trying to deal with a fish or action it is darned near impossible.
The lens is digital and thus picture quality is not as good as an optical lens. Even at 7 megapixels. Just as optical recordings, you lose on both ends.
I much prefer my old C-50 when I can safely carry it.
Nice article Josh and great pics from the WFF users.
I carry a Canon S1 or my phone (with a real good camera for a phone) in a dry bag but it takes too long to get ready for a shot. I have a Rollei 35 that has been repaired (but never been quite the same) after a dunk so I'm ready for an overbuilt weather/splashproof camera. Googling "digital camera waterproof" brings up a hit on a review site where the author has a lot of nice things to say about the Olympus but reader comments are alarmingly negative about reliability. Quite a few users say that their 1030 SWs have leaked from day 1 to a few months after purchase even though they have followed all of the directions in the manual, and when they call or send the camera to Olympus that they are told it's their fault.
This thread is a few months old now and I wonder if there are any 1030 SW and W60 users that can offer any updates.
Looks like Canon has joined the waterproof digicam party with it's new PowerShot D10 12.1 MP with 3x optical image stabilized zoom and 2.5-inch LCD. More at: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2590&modelid=18332
I played with that camera at the PMA trade show. And while I'm typically a Canon fan, in this instance I would suggest that WFF people steer towards the Pentax or Olympus models. The Canon is easily the biggest and chunkiest of the current waterproof cameras. I got the feeling that htye were designing it more for people to use with ski gloves or while snorkeling than while doing something like fishing. It's hard to tell from the images on the web, but the Canon's lens barrel actually sticks out fairly far and so the camera is a lot less "pocketable" then the others in it's class. That having been said, I have no doubt that image quality and user interface will be up to Canon's usual high standards.
There is also the new panasonic TS1 waterproof camera which I also checked out at PMA. Slightly less of a depth rating for this camera than others. But I'm not sure that many people on this board intend to use theirs at 3 meters underwater.
Thanks for your common-sense insights into both the new Canon and the new Panasonic waterproof digicams. Like other cameras, it sounds like these each have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Nonetheless, it's nice to see other players in this product niche.
I own the black Olympus Stylus 1030 SW and its a champ...you'll see (the sweet pictures)
I use my 1030SW in salt water without fear, even for the occasional underwater shot. But when I get home, it gets a rinse, a buff, I look at the lens and the gaskets on all the little doors just to be safe.
I paid 400 for mine, and later saw the 1050SW at Costco in Lacey for 200, but still don't regret the purchase at all:thumb:

Club Fitting -- Good move or overrated?
Check out the story right here, and let me know if you've ever been fit before. If so, did you enjoy it?
2 comments:
- Roody said...
I just had a driver fitting a couple weeks ago actually. I worked with a guy who is a clubmaker and deals with KZG brands only. I think it was good, we determined that with my off-the-shelf Callaway FT-9 10 degree driver I was putting way too much spin and launch on the ball.
I ended up working with another guy a few days ago on another launch monitor to get a second opinion of sorts. Generally, both guys were in consensus. Only difference was, guy #2 suggested that we lower the spin, but not the launch so much.
It was pretty cool to get a look at all the stats and see how I could improve. Unfortunately, I live in NY and have another 2-3 months before I'll get to try out my newly purchased driver (Taylor Made R9 Super-Tri 9.5, slightly closed face to de-loft it a little).

Advanced fitting is a must for the single-digit 'cap or better. Basic fitting is good for the newbie or long-time hacker.

Has anyone seen this series before?
I just watched an episode tonight on cable..... its SO different!
Loved the "narrator". So stylised it was gorgeous! And one after one of the cream of the crop of character actors. Is it this good all the way through?
There seems to be the one theme (location, the power he has of bringing people back to life for one minute, or killing them with one touch, the central characters),..... so are the story lines different every episode or is it supposed to follow on in the series.
They seem to kill of some really big characters. Do more and more appear to be killed off (like guest appearances)?

Taiwan Equity Movers: First Steamship, Taiwan Semiconductor, UMC
June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in Taiwan trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of the close in Taipei. The benchmark Taiex Index fell 2.7 percent to 7,106.09. The gauge gained 0.5 percent this week, the first advance in four weeks.
First Steamship Co. (2601 TT), a shipping company, retreated 3.6 percent to NT$38.90, the most since May 24. The board approved a plan for its unit to invest as much as $35 million to buy shares in China Everbright Bank Co.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (2330 TT), the world's largest custom maker of chips, slumped 6.1 percent to NT$79.90, the biggest drop since Jan. 8, 2009. Jefferies Group Inc. cut the stock to underperform, the equivalent of sell, saying the weaker economic outlook has brought on the risk of order cuts. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered the stock to neutral from buy.
United Microelectronics Corp. (2303 TT), the world's second-biggest custom maker of chips, retreated 4.2 percent to NT$12.55. The company's stock rating was cut to sell from neutral at Goldman Sachs.

YourNews: Dr. Bob speaks at commencement ceremony
While giving Carson-Newman's winter commencement address, Knoxville's Dr. Bob Overholt encouraged graduates to have a "positive mental attitude, work hard and be the best you can be."
Overholt spoke during the Dec. 14 ceremony held in C-N's Holt Field House, addressing some 70 graduates.
"I want you to help other people," said Overholt looking out across those assembled. "When you think of other people your life will be better."
Overholt has been in private practice since 1970 and is a renowned expert on medical and health issues. In addition to "The Dr. Bob Show," which airs on public televisions from the Plateau to the North Carolina border, he regularly discusses medical topics on Knoxville's WBIR TV10.
Overholt is a longtime C-N supporter who was honorary chair for its For Such a Time as This campaign. His wife, Carol, has served as trustee of C-N for several years.
Certified by both the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Allergy and Immunology, Overholt has maintained an active role in medical research and is a fellow with the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. He earned his medical degree from the University of Tennessee Medical School in Memphis. He then completed a three-year internal medicine residency followed by his allergy fellowship at the University of Michigan.

Monsanto said its Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans are genetically engineered to withstand sprayings of not just the Roundup weedkiller, but also dicamba, a chemical weedkiller that disrupts plants' hormonal system and causes them to grow in abnormal ways that usually lead to death. (Dicamba is a developmental toxin.)
The introduction of GMOs in the 1990s was supposed to lower pesticide use in the United States, but it's done anything but that. In 2009 alone, farmers dumped more than 57 million pounds of glyphosate on food crops, according to the USDA. Just as overusing antibiotics in farm animals causes antibiotic resistance, pesticide abuse causes weed resistance, resulting in massive, hard-to-kill superweeds. Because of this, nonorganic farmers are forced to use more pesticides, sometimes even reverting to older, even more dangerous types.
While Monsanto is pairing dicamba with Roundup—which, by the way, is already detected inside of the nonorganic food we eat—other companies are rushing to bring new GMOs to the market. Dow Agrosciences is hoping to introduce its 2,4-D–tolerant corn and soy. (2,4-D has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the European Union classifies it as an endocrine disruptor.)
Last year, veteran weed scientist David Mortensen, Ph.D., weed ecologist at Penn State University, crunched the numbers and found that commercial introduction of crops genetically engineered to withstand dicamba and 2,4-D will likely lead to an increase of 60 to 100 percent in the amount of herbicides used, adding millions of pounds of toxic pesticides into the food chain and environment.
Organic sounds pretty tasty about now, doesn't it?

Vitro Confronts Bondholders Over Bankruptcy Plan Approval
June 4 (Bloomberg) -- After the U.S. recession and bad bets on derivatives contracts sent Mexican glassmaker Vitro SAB into bankruptcy, the company has a restructuring plan in place. At least in Mexico.
Vitro is asking a U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin DeWayne Hale in Dallas today to enforce the plan and stop litigation by debt holders who have been fighting to collect on $1.2 billion in defaulted bonds.
The bondholders have called the plan, which was approved by a Mexican court, "a testament to audacity, brazen manipulation and greed." Enforcing it in the U.S. would be "manifestly contrary" to public policy, they said in court papers.
The judge must weigh whether the Mexican court's approval of Vitro's plan should be given deference or it conflicts too much with U.S. law and should be rejected, said Madlyn Primoff, a bankruptcy attorney at Kaye Scholer LLP in New York.
"It's got the Good Housekeeping seal of approval from the Mexican court," said Primoff, who isn't involved in the case. "For the U.S. court to upset that ruling and say, 'OK, bondholders can have at it,' that tests the issue of how cross-border restructurings get implemented here in the U.S."
Vitro and bondholders have been fighting over the restructuring in Mexican and U.S. courts, with creditors suing Vitro subsidiaries that guaranteed company debt to recover what they're owed.
Threat to Vitro
The company, which makes glass containers and car windshields, wants to put an end to the litigation, saying in court papers that bondholders want to "bring Vitro to its knees by destabilizing its business and interfering with its relationships with its customers."
Andrew Leblanc, an attorney for Vitro, told the judge at today's hearing the case has been heavily litigated and the Mexican court's approval is "worthy of respect." The bondholders lost in Mexico and are "obviously disgruntled," he said.
"They have availed themselves of every single element of Mexican law, Mexican process, Mexican procedures," Leblanc said.
Hale's decision probably won't resolve litigation over the restructuring plan, and the judge said in a court order that he expects it to be appealed. The bondholders' appeal in Mexico of the restructuring there didn't stop it from being implemented. The plan provides $814.7 million in new 8 percent notes and $109.6 million in convertible bonds, according to Vitro.
2009 Default
In early 2009, Vitro defaulted on $1.5 billion of debt, including $1.2 billion of bonds, after construction and auto glass sales plunged during the U.S.'s worst recession since the 1930s. The company also incurred $340 million of derivative losses from bad bets on natural gas prices and currencies.
Bondholders argue that Hale should reject the bankruptcy plan in part because shareholders are retaining value while creditors aren't being paid in full. They also oppose discharging the guaranty obligations of subsidiaries even though the units aren't in bankruptcy. Enforcing the plan would undermine international credit markets and raise the cost of capital in emerging markets, they said.
The plan is "an outrage," Jay Westbrook, an attorney for bondholders, told Hale.
Vitro, based in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico, says the Mexican court considered the objections from creditors, and therefore the U.S. bankruptcy court "should respect and enforce" the plan.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity to demonstrate that Vitro's restructuring is entitled to Chapter 15 enforcement in the U.S.," Roberto Riva Palacio, a spokesman for Vitro, said in a statement.
The case is in re Vitro SAB, 11-33335, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

On the Importance of 'Us,' and Our Embracement Waiting in the Wings
Filed Under: Opinion, World | Posted: 05/08/2009 at 3:27PM
Comments | Region: United States
As our ongoing economic difficulties continue to haunt us — with no actual resolution as yet in sight — a fundamental philosophical query is surfacing, one that's soon to demand a simple yes or no answer: "Do people matter?"
by Donald Croft Brickner
There is no feeling in the world that quite rivals the conviction that one's personal circumstances are so dire as to be hopeless.
You're seemingly completely alone — without family, intimates or friends. No one cares, not even those whose job it is to care. They recognize toast when they see it, when they smell it. The sooner you remove yourself from their presence, the better for everybody concerned, their eyes and their body language tell you.
When you write emails, all that's returned to you is a dismissive, empty silence.
You've got a job to do, which is to die — LOL. Just face it, suck it in, and practice taking your last breaths. Your meaningless final breaths.
In such a scenario, one comes face-to-face with their impending physical demise — there is no other choice. It's surely very similar to learning you've contracted an incurable disease with but a very short time left to live.
The shock is thundering. Lightning bolts flash in your face without discrimination.
I know — I've just been there, and back — slingshot back, in fact, and at the very final hour of what had seemed like a dead end; and, as well — a death sentence.
* * * * *
I've just word-painted the punchlines to my recent seven-weeks'-long experience, in large part to strongly suggest — as I strongly suspect — that what I experienced was not so much a uniquely personal event, but instead a universal one — one which I believe tens of millions of Americans are suffering through right now, and one that awaits a much, much larger percentage of us over roughly the next 10-to-15 months.
There are experiential variations on this theme, to be sure — but my ordeal I'll never forget. Several once seemingly stronger relationships with established "acquaintances" disintegrated on the spot as a direct result. Others endured.
It's literally staggering — and there are several physiological effects that arise related to a sense of feeling trapped like a deer caught in society's headlights.
As each wall of protection crumbles, you feel jettisoned from the herd.
It's surreal. It's cold. It's in-your-face heartbreaking.
And the worst of it is a gnawing, sustained sense that you're being judged by sneering assassins.
* * * * *
We are headed toward a much more precipitous downward spiral later this year, I believe — and while collapsing economics are sure to be the headlines of our if-it-bleeds-it-leads media, its impact on people, from all walks of life, will be far more pronounced — and from a Big Picture standpoint, far more meaningful.
That's if we can shift our focus from objects and money to human beings — which is what the entirety of oncoming events are all about, regardless: being humbled.
I now believe I've just experienced my own personal preview of this.
Money isn't even real, it's "symbolic" — and structures inevitably fall apart. Think about it. What around us really has value?
The number one question we are sure to have answered, once and for all, and very possibly by this time next year — and there's no kidding about any of it — will be this: do people matter?
If the answer is no — we may not continue to survive as a species. The quicksand of our hubris could very well possibly see to that.
Come one year or so from today we may well have hit bottom. A genuine bottom.
A rock bottom.
* * * * *
As an aside, I'm acutely aware that the words I'm writing here smack of prophetic intents — and although they're not so intended, they'll still probably be interpreted that way. I'm sensitive to this bizarre circumstance, both as a philosopher, and as a writer — two status identifications I'd quickly own up to.
Ask me if you think that I think I'm a prophet, however, and I'll quickly tell you to forget about it — I have. I can't fully explain my internal drives, any more than I can explain how I arrive at my conclusions — although both are very clear to me. What I do, I do as a job that has to be done with or without pay (and the "without" part is the primary trigger that led to my coming so close to the edge this May 3).
What I'm absolutely sure of, however, is that if "prophetic-sounding" writings are capable of inducing readers to shift their focus from the words written to, instead, the author of those words, then the effort, never mind the intention behind writing them, is pretty much lost. Frankly, I don't mind retaining my continued anonymity.
Some 18 months from now, the proof will be in the pudding, from an accuracy-of-predictions standpoint. And I can all but promise you, based on my experiences, I will not directly benefit from either a validated or invalidated outcome, regardless.
My intention here in part is that of a wakeup call: one that, ironically, I already know will go unheeded, probably even unnoticed. But because of the Internet's capacity to keep all kinds of creative efforts alive, even past their past-due dates, my hope is that these words will remain for viewing in retrospect — for they have a lot more to do with providing a working context than with, what — fortune telling.
* * * * *
When denial and forgetfulness are as entrenched as both are now at this time in our history, the game must be played out in full.
That "game" is a global spiritual melodrama.
And it is already some 17 months' afoot.
I'm striving to provide a peek into a resolved future, too, which, honestly, a lot of you reading this will come to prefer to our inhibiting, "life's graduates'" and upper-class-driven, psychologically-one-note and, yes, severely dysfunctional present.
Unfortunately, the road getting there could be shredded, right in front of our eyes. Still, you know — forewarned is forearmed. And even literally, it's just a road.
Young adults are likely to react the worst. No single generation is oddly more in actual sync with these times — yet, as well, the farthest away, in terms of being in denial. Once the bottom is hit, the silent nihilist overview widely embraced by the young will have turned and betrayed them. This game, after all, is a spiritual one.
The melodrama isn't so much about youth, however. Predominantly speaking, it's mostly there for the young — to experience, to react to, and to learn from.
All future scenarios on this planet, after all, are theirs.
* * * * *
The so-called materialistic "American dream" will be dismantled, in the process. But so, too, will the awful, selfish "entitlement of entitlement," right along with it.
The vast majority of Americans will survive, in any case — if only we re-discover and embrace the importance of the concept of "Us."
One suspects that among global populations, this melodrama began, and so will end, right here in the U.S. Some countries, like Bhutan, already understand "Us."
Genuinely touching one another's hearts has never been so difficult to do — and right now, that failure is literally, if invisibly, killing us.
We were never meant to be so terribly alone as a people.
* * * * *
The anger in this American society is off the charts. It works in much the same way that hidden addictions operate: we have no means of effectively challenging the legitimacy of our emotions. We're rarely even motivated to hold ourselves accountable, in that regard.
Instead, half of our TV series are about crime and punishment — and our favorite film heroes don't hesitate to seek out revenge for cartoonish, no-brainer affronts.
All of our late night talk show hosts do monologues laced with "put-down humor," which is also heavily featured in both network and cable sitcoms. Reality shows reward overt dysfunctional behavior, with or without pitching childish snits.
We send our kids to schools where bullying of all kinds is not only the norm, it's a social behavior that necessitates being copied, just to make it through each day.
There are good bullies, and there are bad bullies. The rest of us are "gay" wimps.
If you want to carve someone a new a-hole, that's okay. Just carve it cool.
It's even good for business.
* * * * *
Do people matter at this moment in our history?
For the most part, no. They truly don't.
Pets, even gardens, make far better friends — people are our enemies.
Destitute people (the worst!) should just go die somewhere, and be done with it, already.
* * * * *
I was a graduate of the once-intriguing high school "Class of '65." Had any of us back then abruptly been transported into this future, today, there are two primary and completely unanticipated discoveries we would encounter:
One, we would not only be taken aback by PCs, we would be dumbfounded that so many everyday people not only owned one, but could effortless navigate it.
What — were there special universities that taught everyone how to do that, we'd ask? No, we'd be told: they learned how to do most of it when they were children.
Two, we wouldn't understand the widely popularized anger, or the constant state of agitation permeating this U.S. culture. We'd walk down the street and wonder why so many people were dressed up like bikers or Halloween characters, and worse, why they looked like they wanted to pick a violent fight. Over what? Why?
We would also wonder why people believed things that weren't at all funny, were.
Upon our return to our mid-1960s present, we would then vote on whether or not we wanted to live in such a future. The unanimous response would likely be, no.
There's something very wrong taking place in that future, our consensus reaction would be, adding tentatively … am I likely to still be living then? — living like that?
Unquestionably, our guides would respond. Not only that: you here all created it!
No! — we're not that stupid!!, we'd whine in unison, as well as in disbelief. No-o!!!
* * * * *
The often hushed "death silence" of rage today is real — and it permeates every aspect of our lives.
We tend not to believe that, however, because in our new "normal," degrees of rage are (unwittingly) measured, rather than "rage vs. non-rage" — which is what we've come to believe we're measuring when we're not. It's one of our delusions.
We believe the low end of our rage to be entirely free from it. It absolutely isn't.
It all may be compared to moving from, say, 1965 to the present, not by a time machine, but by the passing of each of our 44 years on a day-to-day basis. We grow older, only we rarely notice it. The individual we see reflected in the mirror today looks just like the person we saw viewing him or herself in the same mirror yesterday.
About 16,060 days have passed since my high school class graduated.
Mirrors have so little to tell us of value regarding much of anything.
* * * * *
The same thing has happened to the evolution of new norms in our behaviors.
Today's youth have no clue what the mid-1960s were like. All of the reference points have been obliterated after the passing of so many years, and that's new.
My parents' generation wasn't all that different from my own.
We ceased being curious about our emotional health, as well. I have argued in previous essays that we are an addicted society, for instance — and I'm hardly the first to make such a claim, although nowadays you'd never know it.
Among an array of related earlier titles, author and psychotherapist Anne Wilson Schaef wrote, "When Society Becomes an Addict" back in 1988. America opted to ignore the depths of addiction as a concept then, and in the interim, we largely came to dismiss not only her work but also that of her peers, who were all trained in the comprehensions and resolutions of both addiction and co-dependency.
To that end, then, we have no preventative psychological diagnostic that's readily accessible by our society today, if one were even sought (and it's not).
Put another way: we are an emotionally ill society, but no longer have any way of knowing it.
Worse — and this is just for the time being, because all of it is about to change — we have little interest, or investment, in correcting our off-kilter emotional health.
How does that not sound like a recipe for disaster?
* * * * *
Based on my very recent experiences, a lot of what follows next is likely to be an excerpt gleaned from The Rules of the (Shredded) Road lying just ahead of us:
* A societal downward spiral leading to a "bottom-hitting" is headed our way, and neither will be sidestepped successfully.
* Whenever one encounters "bottoming-out" as a phenomenon, addiction hovers nearby as its primary culprit.
* The type of addiction is less important than its impact — the best treatments are always the same, and are only loosely tied to the symptoms. (Materialism may yet prove to be an addiction … whose chief physical symptom is internal "noise!")
* If you're living with your stable family or intimates, continue to do so. This is no time to be wandering off by yourself. Any inflexible isolation can prove to be fatal.
* Old friendships left to expire commonly transform into weak acquaintanceships.
* If you are alone, most acquaintances will turn away from you. Friends will not. But friends could be hard to chase down in the relative near future.
* Find someone to love in the days ahead. It needn't be a romantic relationship.
* One must — must — learn to care about the safety and well-being of his or her neighbors once again. There will be ample opportunities to do so.
* Be kind.
* Ride out whatever's coming, no matter what its manifestations, for as long as it takes. The days ahead will demand courage of us. All of us have lots in reserve.
* Once a true "bottom" has been hit, the worst will be over. But then comes work.
* Contribute in any way you can to a Rebuilding, in any and all of its guises.
* There will be no hard fast rules to follow during Rebuilding. Follow your heart.
* Embrace your new humility — it was hard won. You deserve it. It deserves you.
* * * * *
And we'll close here with some good "prophetic" news:
Love has been patiently awaiting us in the wings all this time, ready to be easily embraced. It's not going to abandon us, either, even though it's been misplaced and forgotten on numerous occasions in our individual and group pasts.
As for "Us," as a Humanity — love will also assure us, without blinking, that we do matter.
We'll have no trouble at all embracing it, when the time is right. That time hasn't quite arrived — there's going to be a "shouting down" period first — but it can't hurt to practice.
The darkest days ahead are likely to prove extremely intense, but also fairly brief in duration — six to nine months, say, once this second "downward spiral" sets in.
What happens after that periodically will be tinged with remarkable moments of optimism, and even of a kind of magic, now and again — like feelings of deep peace, which will seem like some kind of silent gift that engulfed us, as if from out of nowhere.
At times we'll awaken in such a state … and then lose it as our day progresses.
It's not a big issue, regardless. We'll learn to simply accept such a "peace" as a passing prize, and run with it for as long as it lasts. It will come around again.
There will be lots of "noiseless" experiences like that in our conjoined futures.
By the time 2013 or thereabouts rolls around, we'll all be living in a New Day, in a New Time.
Even present-day probabilities overwhelmingly favor such a beautiful transition. A handful of American citizens are already putting "a New Day" into practice in their families, businesses, and their communities. They understand the fundamentals.
We will live. We will laugh.
And, yes — we will once again love.
You can pretty well bet your bottom dollar on it.
Hang in.

The Cooper Basin forms the most significant element of Australia's largest onshore oil and gas province. Since the discovery of natural gas at Gidgealpa in 1963 and oil at Tirrawarra in 1970, 229 x 109 m3 (8.2 tcf) of recoverable raw gas and 6.9 x 106 kL (43.9 mmstb) of recoverable oil* have been found in South Australia at 1 January 1998. A total of 129 x 109 m3 (4.6 tcf) of gas and 4.6 x 106 kL (29.1 mmstb) of oil have been produced to date. The Tirrawarra Field contains 80% of known oil reserves; one-third of South Australia's Cooper Basin gas reserves are in the Moomba and Big Lake gas fields. Pipelines supply Cooper Basin gas to Adelaide and Sydney as well as a number of regional centres, ethane to Botany Bay, and a liquids pipeline carries oil, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to Port Bonython.
The Cooper Basin is a Late Carboniferous to Middle Triassic, non-marine sedimentary basin which underlies the desert region of northeastern South Australia and South-West Queensland. One-third of the basin (35 000 km2; 13 500 square miles) is in South Australia; the unconformity at its upper surface varies in depth from 970 to 2800 m while the base of its deepest trough reaches ~4400 m below sea level.
* Numbers refer to Cooper oil only. Total recoverable oil (Cooper and Eromanga) in SA is 17.5 x 106 kL (110 mmstb).
The volume comprises over 200 pages of text, figures and plates (many in colour). The following are the chapter titles of this book.
