About Me
In 2007 I founded Retail Minded, a publication and online destination committed to helping independent retailers through news, education and support. Additionally, I'm the Co-Founder of the Independent Retailer Conference, which takes place at various retail events and trade shows each year, encouraging retailers to engage, learn and connect with some of the industry's top thought leaders and companies. In 2014, I authored my first book from McGraw-Hill, "Retail 101: A Guide to Managing and Marketing Your Retail Business", as well as had the privilege of representing Small Business Saturday from American Express as their official Spokesperson in 2014 - which is the celebratory kick off to the holiday season for independent businesses and takes place the Saturday following Thanksgiving. I'm passionate about retail and small business success - and can relate uniquely to small business owners because like them, I am one myself.
I'm Known For...
Thinking outside the box.
My Current Project
Expanding retail education to independent merchants through the Independent Retailer Conference and a variety of event partners we work with to help make this happen.
My Greatest Achievement

My Biggest Regret

I Truly Respect
Small business owners. They are the backbone of our country, and each and every one of them is someone I admire.
Moments I'd Like To Forget
I don't like to forget, but instead learn from my bad experiences.
How I Pay For This Wardrobe

Very friendly owner and housekeeper/cook. Breakfasts were delicious and very attractive/appealing. Good variety.Flower gardens were beautiful and if you are a plant lover, this is a must place to stay.Convenient to good restaurants.
I can't think of anything.
Large bathroom, friendly inn-keeper, sitting garden.
We got to check in at 11 am. Close to foxwoods, free shuttle
Website said free continental breakfast but it was not true.
Close to Foxwoods
Worn down room.
Bed was hard hardly no hot water and bathtub wasn't clean
Just gross, had no toilet paper or towels in the room ..shower and tub was gross. rust was in the tub.had to put a towel down in the shower to stand on cuz it was that nasty... NEVER AGAIN...
Waffles for free in the morning, clean comfortable room.
Very helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Nice room. Premises were quiet and well kept.
Room very clean, but a stain in the corner of the shower looked like mold.
The staff was very welcoming and the amenities from the hot tub and pool and the free cookies and broccoli and cheddar soup were delicious.
The bed and room itself were comfortable. There was a (quiet-running) refrigerator and microwave in the room (1 king bed), as well as a couch. It was located right off the interstate, but was surrounded by tall trees, so it felt much more out-of-the-way. There were a couple pizza places in the area that catered to gluten-free diets, which was great for us.
1) There was a huge cell phone tower right outside the hotel.
2) We had a non-smoking room; however, when we walked into the room, there was a slight stale-smoke smell in the room and bathroom. It wasn't terribly offensive, so we just opened the window for a little bit. The next morning, however, our bathroom reeked terribly of cigarette smoke, like it was coming in a vent somewhere. It was really offensive, and we had to try to keep the bathroom door closed every second that we weren't in there, and did everything we could outside of the bathroom. When I mentioned it to the receptionist on check-out, she said not to worry about being charged for it, as the smoking rooms were right under ours and the smoke came up through the vent. Isn't the reason to have a non-smoking room so that you are away from the smoke??
3) The iron needed to be cleaned, as it left spots on my husband's dress shirt. Thankfully it was on the sleeve, where it would be covered up by his sports coat.
Quick and easy check in. Cleaning staff was great. Room was clean.
Continental breakfast wasn't the greatest.
Loved the bedding and the best breakfast ever!
The staff were friendly when I arrived in the evening they had cookies out on the front desk which was really nice. The elevator is by the pool so I could peek in and get a view. The pool isn't huge but its a good size. The hotel and room looked just like the pictures it was very nice and modern. I stayed in a king bed standard and it was very nice and spacious. The bed was soooo comfortable and there was a heater ac unit by the bed which guest could adjust themselves which was nice too.
The only thing I can think of was my room was located right by the elevator so I could occasionally hear guest but it didn't really bother me too much.
Room was better than expected for money we paid. Room was very clean and queen beds were comfortable.
The staff/service is terrible. We booked the shuttle to a casino for 930pm but when we arrived 5 minutes early they left us while claiming the people from our room had already boarded the shuttle. They had no way of verifying and making sure the right people boarded. My girlfriend had to wait in -2 degree weather for th next shuttle. Also there's breakfast until 11am amd we arrived at 1055 to get something quick to eat for the ride back and they said it had already closed. Why say it's opened until 11am but close earlier than the advertised time. Entire staff and manager seemed unorganized and unprofessional.
The casino shuttle and waffle maker in the morning make this place! Less then half what you pay to stay at foxwoods. I'd definitely go back.
Nothing I can think of.
Good price. Friendly staff. Easy check in and check out.
Had a room with a king bed and pull out sofa. Had to climb over bed when sofa bed was open.
new and clean.

This is a question about the Box set track with the darkrides all together:
In the book, it lists as the rides in the track, Peter Pan, Snow White, Pinnochio, and Alice in Wonderland. However, in listening to the track, I don't hear Snow White, which IS listed, but I hear part of Mr. Toad which is NOT listed. Is this a blanket mistake, or is it just my copy??
Thanx in advance for the help

ABSTRACT: The complex superficial lipid layer of the tear film functions to prevent evaporation and maintain tear stability. Although classes of lipids found in the tear film have been reported, individual lipid species are currently being studied with more sophisticated. The purpose of this work was to show the identification of fatty acids and the fatty acid amides in human meibomian gland secretions by using electrospray mass spectrometry. methods. Human meibomian gland secretions (meibum) were analyzed by electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (positive- and negative-ion mode). Accurate mass determination and collision-induced dissociation of meibum, and lipid standards were used to identify lipid species. Mass analysis of meibum in an acidic chloroform-methanol solution in positive-ion mode revealed a mass peak of m/z 282.3, which was identified as the protonated molecule of oleamide [C(18)H(35)NO+H](+). The high-resolution mass analysis of the m/z 282.2788 peak (oleamide) demonstrated a mass accuracy of 3.2 parts per million (ppm). Collision-induced dissociation of this species from meibum, compared with an oleamide standard, confirmed its identification. Myristic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic free fatty acids were identified in a similar manner, as were the other fatty acid amides (myristamide, palmitamide, stearamide, and erucamide). The findings indicate that oleamide (cis-9-octadecenamide), an endogenous fatty acid primary amide, is a predominant component of meibum when examined by electrospray mass spectrometry. The novel finding of oleamide and other members of the fatty acid amide family in the tear film could lead to additional insights into the role of fatty acid amide activity in human biological systems and may indicate a new function for this lipid class of molecules in ocular surface signaling and/or in the maintenance of the complex tear film.Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science 02/2007; 48(1):34-9.

ABSTRACT: To compare self-reported dry eye disease across contact lens wearers, spectacles wearers, and clinical emmetropes (i.e., those not requiring refractive correction). The survey included two symptom questions (dryness and light sensitivity) that inquired about frequency and intensity at three times of day (morning, afternoon, and evening) and a self-perception question (i.e., Do you think you have dry eyes?). Dryness and light sensitivity scales were then calculated, summed, and scored, providing a dry eye classification. Logistic regression (binary and multinomial) and analysis of covariance were used to examine the relation between mode of refractive correction and dry eye status, frequency of symptoms, and diurnal change in symptom intensity. Overall, 893 surveys were completed, and the age-adjusted frequency of dry eye in the sample was 28.7%, with 3.5% of the sample reporting severe symptoms (at least grade 4 of a possible 5 for both symptoms). Contact lens wearers were most likely to report dry eye disease (52.3%), followed by spectacle wearers (23.9%) and clinical emmetropes (7.1%). Adjustment for age and gender showed that contact lens (adjusted odds ratio = 12.37, 95% confidence interval = 7.55-20.26) and spectacle wearers (adjusted odds ratio = 2.06, 95% confidence interval = 1.12-3.80) were more likely than emmetropes to report dry eye problems. After adjustment for age and gender, contact lens wearers were shown to be more likely to experience frequent symptoms and an increase in symptoms throughout the day (F = 51.4, P < 0.0001). The frequency of self-reported dry eye is high, especially in contact lens wearers.Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science 07/2005; 46(6):1911-4. DOI:10.1167/iovs.04-1294 · 3.66 Impact Factor

1. Electrophotographic Liquid Developer With Charge Director Technical Field
This invention relates to electrophotographic imaging with liquid developers, and more specifically to the composition of a liquid developer having a charge director mixture.
2. Background of the Invention
Liquid developers are known having a pigment-containing resin or resin mixture, an inert organic liquid vehicle, and a charge director. This invention comprises a selection of materials to provide optimum results and is believed applicable with any inert pigment or coloring matter. The vehicle of this invention may be mineral oil, which is known for use as such a vehicle. The resin is a mixture of two resins which have been employed or mentioned in prior art as resins for such a liquid toner, but not in combination. The toner charge director is a combination including materials which have been employed or mentioned in prior art as charge directors, but not in the combination of this invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,307 to Landa et al at column 7 discloses mineral oil as a vehicle for such liquid toners. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,729 to Grushkin et al at column 4 is illustrative of other teachings of such use of mineral oil.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,925,763 to Tsubuko et al teaches ionomeric resins in toner with some blends, and with a separately added lauryl acrylate-acrylic acid resin in liquid toners. U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,299 to Houle et al at column 3 mentions Surlyn (trademark) ionomer resin and blends including that resin as the resin in such a liquid toner. U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,528 to Larson teaches blends of resins and mentions Surlyn in a list of suitable resins. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,923,778 to Blair et al at column 4 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,429 to Trout at column 4 are illustrative of other teachings of such use of Surlyn resin. This invention employs a Surlyn resin blended with a Nucrel (trademark) resin, a similar, but non-ionic resin. Nucrel resin, not combined with Surlyn resin, appears prominently in the liquid toner compositions disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,477 to Felder. Similarly, Nucrel resin alone is disclosed in the Example of U.S. Pat. No. 4,891,286 to Gibson. The added acrylate-acrylic acid resin of the foregoing U.S. Pat. No. 4,925,763 has an acid component but in this patent the ionomeric component is mixed with the pigment and finely divided before being kneaded with the acrylate-acrylic acid resin.
The foregoing U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,429 to Trout teaches the Surlyn resin, lecithin as a charge control agent, calcium Petronate (trademark) as a charge control agent, and aluminum tristearate as an additive to such liquid toner compositions. The foregoing U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,528 discloses lecithin and calcium petronate and barium Petronate as charge control agents. Lecithin is widely taught as a charge control agent. U.S. Pat. No. 4,897,332 to Gibson teaches the combination of lecithin and alkylated N-vinyl pyrrolidone in combination as a charge control agent. Further illustrative teachings of lecithin, calcium Petronate, and aluminum tristearate appear in U.S. Pat. No. 5,066,821 to Houle et al at column 6. The foregoing U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,307 to Landa et al at column 19 is further illustrative of a use of calcium Petronate. The subject invention employs lecithin, aluminum tristearate, and calcium Petronate in combination with other material not included in the foregoing patents.
The toner of the present invention comprises mineral oil as a vehicle, fine particles of a thorough blend of ionomeric resin and a resin which is an acid form of an ionomeric resin, pigment, aluminum tristearate, and a separate charge control mixture added to the final mixture of the final materials. The charge control mixture is lecithin, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and calcium Petronate as a 10%-30% solution in mineral oil. This charge control mixture is selected to optimize speed of recovery of charge properties during continual use.
Sixty-four and eight-tenths (64.8) parts by weight Surlyn 9020, an ionomeric resin, a trademarked product of Du Pont Co., is mixed with forty-one and one-tenth (41.1) parts by weight Nucrel 599 resin, a trademarked product of Du Pont Co., an acid form of resin of otherwise the same structure as the Surlyn resins. Surlyn 9020 is a sodium ionomer having melt flow index of 1.0 and nominal density of 0.95. Thirty-five parts by weight of this combination of solids mixture is mixed with 65 parts by weight of Peneteck (trademark) mineral oil. Alternatively, Surlyn 7940, closely similar to Surlyn 9020, is employed as above described with Nucrel 699. Surlyn 7940 is a lithium ionomer having melt flow index of 2.6 and nominal density of 0.94. This produces a somewhat harder toner.
Peneteck mineral oil is described by the manufacturer as a food grade white mineral oil. It is highly purified to remove all aromatics and odor producing impurities. Analysis shows it consists of a mixture of straight chained and branched alkanes. The straight chain portion consists of about 25% of the total and is predominantly a mixture of C-14 to C-18 alkanes. The remaining 75% is a mixture of branched alkanes ranging predominantly from C-16 to C-19 has low volatility.
This mixture is mixed thoroughly as by double planetary mixing or screw extrusion at elevated temperatures (140�-160� C.) to a mixture in which the resins are thoroughly mixed and plasticized with mineral oil, and all of the mineral oil is completely incorporated into the resulting solid. Where extrusion is employed, the resulting solid may be extruded into cold water with chopping at the nozzle of the extruder. This product from the extruder is pellets having the general appearance of grains of rice. The solid is 21.6% Surlyn resin 14.4% Nucrel resin and 64% mineral oil. This may be termed the "plasticized product."
This product is ground one step further, if needed, in a high speed blender. This added step is needed in the case of the double planetary mixer. In the case of the extruder, the resulting product is in pellets that can go directly into an attritor.
To this product is added pigments, aluminum tristearate, and additional of the mineral oil in an amount to bring the total mineral oil content to 80 to 90% by weight. This is size reduced in an attritor for 6 to 14 hours until the final mixture has volume averaged particle diameter measured using a Shimadzu centrifugal particle size analyzer of about 1 to 3 microns. Preferred attrition is by Union Process model 1S attritor. (The attritor has a one gallon fluid capacity.) For that attritor, attritor speed may be 200 to 400 rpm. Attritor temperature is 20� to 70� C. Attritor temperature affects morphology and attritor speed affects the time to achieve desired particle size. Preferred temperature is 50� C. The resulting produce remains ten to twenty percent solids.
Total solids from the foregoing in each of black and three substractive colors for color imaging are as follows:
______________________________________ Solids by Weight %______________________________________BlackPlasticized Product 74.2Mogul-L (trademark) Carbon Black 22.3NBS6157 violet dye 2.3Alum. TriStearate 1.2CyanPlasticized Product 81.7Toyo FG7341 cyan pigment 16.8Alum. TriStearate 1.5MagentaPlasticized Product 78.0Mobay ER8616 magenta dye 20.0Alum. TriStearate 2.0YellowPlasticized Product 84.6Toyo FG1310 yellow dye 15.7______________________________________
After the attrition is completed, the mixture is diluted with the mineral oil to two percent solids with stirring. To each of the foregoing color formulas is added mixture of lecithin, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and calcium Petronate in a 10-30% solution with the mineral oil until conductivity of approximately 50 picomhos/cm is reached.
This mixture is for charge control. It is formulated as follows: 20 grams of lecithin is dissolved in 500 ml of the mineral oil by stirring at room temperature, after the lecithin is dissolved, 15 ml of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is added with continued stirring. This causes an obvious turbidity in the solution. Then 20 grams of calcium petronate is added and dissolved with stirring. Finally, the mixture is centrifuged sufficiently to result in a clear, stable solution which can be decanted from any residue.
Roughly 2 ml of this charge director is required to charge 100 ml of the foregoing resin mixture to the 50 picomhos/cm.
The resulting toner is a negative liquid toner providing good-resolution printing and fixing at relatively moderate temperatures. The mineral oil vehicle does not vaporize well and is readily condensed, thus permitting use as a toner without significant environmental disturbance.
Important parameters to select are transfer efficiency, fuse grade and optical density. Transfer efficiency is the movement of images from surface to surface since this is done to move an image from a photoconductor surface to an intermediate roller where three colors and black are accumulated in registration, and then to a print roller. Transfer efficiency is measured by direct observation of extent of transfer in typical operation.
Fuse grade is a measure of permanence of final printing. It is determined by measuring the resistance of print in a typical operation to rubbing and scratching.
Optical density is measured on a colored block using a standard OD meter with different filters for different colors.
The foregoing formulas result from a selection balancing good results for the foregoing properties, as well as the necessary properties for liquid toning.
The charge control agent is selected to maximize recovery speed of electrical properties as toner is continually circulated in an active imaging system. Since mineral oil is a heavy vehicle, maximization of edge definition may be a more dominant design objective, and the charge control agent would then differ.
An important property of the charge director is termed "percent recovery." That is the percent of the original current generated after a high voltage spike is applied at 90 second intervals. The percent recovery is obtained using the following procedure:
The sample is placed in a cell with electrode diameters of 25 mm and a spacing of 1 mm. The voltage applied is 2000 volts for 7 seconds. The current vs time graph is displayed on an oscilloscope and the current maximum is recorded. The sample is allowed to "relax" for 1.5 minutes whereupon a second voltage of 2000 volts is applied. The current maximum is again recorded. The ratio of the second current to the first is the measure of "% recovery."
The electrodes must be cleaned with IPA and allowed to totally dry in-between samples.
The following table illustrates the importance of the presence of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NM2P) to the % recovery. To a stock solution of 4% lecithin and 4% calcium Petronate, NM2P was added. The resulting charge director is used to charge the toner to a 50pmhos/cm level and percent recovery was measured.
______________________________________% NM2P Added % Recovery______________________________________0 520.8 681.5 753 90______________________________________
Some of the data might lead one to speculate that the role of the NM2P may be nothing more than to select the correct solubility fraction of lecithin since the addition of NM2P does cause the solution to go cloudy and some lecithin is centrifuged out. To test that hypothesis a charge director was made up with Isopar-H (trademark isoparaffin) instead of the mineral oil so that after the centrifuge step the Isopar paraffin and the NM2P could be removed with evaporation. Then mineral oil can be added back, which results in a charge director containing the proper fraction of lecithin but without the presence of NM2P.
The following procedure was followed: 2 grams lecithin was dissolved with heat in Isopar-H paraffin. 2 grams of calcium Petronate and 1.5 ml NM2P were added. Stirring was continued in an ice bath to complete the precipitation of the lecithin. The sample was centrifuged and tested to show the initial percent recovery. Then the isopar and NM2P were evaporated off and 50 ml mineral oil was replaced. This sample was tested.
Also, to 25 ml of the mineral oil sample, 0.75 ml of NM2P was added back therefore the right solubility fraction of lecithin was confirmed.
The surprising result was that the sample which had the NM2P removed by evaporation did not have a stable conductivity. That is, a significant drop was observed over the first few hours of the dilution. The following table illustrates this property. 2 ml of each charge director was added to 100 ml the mineral oil and the conductivity was monitored with time.
______________________________________CONDUCTIVITY (pmhos/cm)Time W/NM2P W/O NM2P______________________________________Initial 59 16015 min. 55 671 hour 52 601.5 hours 52 564 hours 52 53overnight 52 53______________________________________
This data suggest that the NM2P may play a role in micelle stabilization.
The following table contains the results from the % recovery testing of these samples.
______________________________________ TO T = 1:30CD (current) % Recovery______________________________________Initial sample in Isopar-H 1.74 1.54 88%Sample with mineral oil 2.5 1.44 57%replacement w/o NM2PSample with mineral oil 1.66 1.52 91%replacement + NM2P (remainedclear)______________________________________
The solubility of lecithin may contribute to the variation seen between 80 and 90% recovery BUT the presence of the NM2P does more than just select this solubility fraction. In addition to the % recovery being low for the sample without the NM2P, a surprising result of conductivity instability was observed. This suggests that the NM2P plays a role in stabilizing the micelles, that's why the conductivity drops so drastically without it.
Variations within the spirit and scope of this invention will be apparent.

Love this--students could write the number on the top of their paper before they turn it in. That way they don't risk embarrassment or refuse to ask questions during class discussion.
GENIUS!!! Turning in papers Consider not removing clips - rotating or moving so that they don't have to be reset all the time
I'm not sure why I still have to say this. Maybe a poster & cute saying will help them remember.
A really cute idea for the front of the classroom. If a teacher provides students with pencils, it will be important to prevent any behavior issues by supplying students with working supplies. If students are up and moving around it is simply a distraction.
Great idea - Students sort paperwork and put the no names in the jar. Then the student in charge goes to find the missing work. They check their desk and the jar.

The Maintenance of Headway
by Ed Henry Published
The title of Magnus Mills's sixth novel refers to the first commandment in the life of a bus driver - thou shalt safeguard at all times a set time and distance behind the bus ahead.
Much of this charming novella is given over to drivers' discussions about the daily struggle of maintaining headway, and the misery of incurring the wrath of hubristic bus inspectors when they fail. Although the dialogue, which is littered with moments of sublimely deadpan humour, is the most impressive thing about the book, the plot is perfectly serviceable and engaging.
The third-person narration is delivered in simple prose that is well suited to conveying the nuances and vicissitudes of the insular world of the bus driver - a job that Mills continues to fit around novel-writing.
The petty conspiracies and paradoxes of the drivers' daily routines are captured beautifully, as are the resonant little tragedies of bad faith that Mills portrays so deftly.

43 year old man | Laguna Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-40 within 50 miles
Looking for someone to enjoy some spare time with, to keep me out of trouble as well.
If you are a positive person, I'm more than compatible just about everywhere else. I work some crazy hours, but make it a point to set time aside for fun! I'm an educated, fun person who is definitely up for a good time. I would like to find someone who would like to go out to events, movies, and dinner on a regular basis as well as spending TONS of time at the beach. I was born and raised in Orange County and I swear I was brought into this life in the ocean because I hate being away from it for any length of time. As far as honesty goes, you will have serious trouble finding a more honest/humble person than I. If you are into exercising, I am definitely seeking someone to motivate me in my off hours to exercise as well! I absolutely love cooking and watch most of those types of shows to learn new recipe ideas (that's why I need someone to help me exercise!), so if you don't mind staying home for dinner,
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Hockey, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
I am a HUGE dog fan. They truly are man's best friend. That being said, I lost my last dog in the early part of last year, so not only am I seeking companionship with someone, but can't wait to find a new dog!
Middle of the Road
Dining at Irvine Spectrum, however, some of my favorite places to go is the Chart House and Cannons overlooking Dana Point Harbor.
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Huge surfing nut/hockey fan. That's mostly what I watch when not slaving away at work. I am also working towards my pilot's license.
Mostly I surf and SCUBA dive, but I also like to do lots of social things including concerts, dining, and various events.

Preamble Hello. England are in danger of making a game of this: they were 149 for two at tea, with Ian Bell on 58 and Kevin Pietersen on 36. So far it has followed a very similar pattern to the final Test of the 2002-03 series, when England were also 4-0 down, so expect Andy Caddick to hobble into view on Saturday morning and take a matchwinning seven-for on an exploding pitch.
Preamble Hello. Only masochists, misanthropes and Gary Naylor need apply tonight: it is going to be one long celebration of Australian cricket as their retain the Ashes at the earliest possible opportunity. There is a reasonable chance that England will take it to a fifth day - they resume on 19 for one, chasing an entirely nominal 557 (despite Duncan Fletcher's bizarre comments yesterday that they can still win the match) on a pitch that has flattened out a bit - but I can't see it. England all out 297 (Pietersen 82, Flintoff 41, Jones -12).
Preamble Hello. Back in the day, when one of my girlfriends decided to dump me after realising that she was in danger of spending the rest of her life with, well, me, she decided that we could have one last night together before officially breaking up, even though effectively we had. That's what tonight is: in urn-possession terms, this really is the Last Night of the Poms. Tomorrow is the last time, for the forseeable future, that you will wake up with those Ashes in your arms. It will be a bittersweet experience but let's enjoy it, savour this last embrace and cherish the memories of the summer of love in which we came together, because after tomorrow you won't be able to touch those memories for a long, long time.
Preamble: No, there's no need to call nursy: you've not got a fever. Australia really are on the rack, at 184-6. And the good news doesn't end there: Monty Panesar, selected in place of Ashley Giles, has three wickets, Steven Harmison has got his nastiness back, and the Guardian's Sajid Mahmood, in for James Anderson, is bowling with both accuracy and spite. After the prolonged anguish of Adelaide, England have hope again - but they will want to finish the job by getting the Aussies out for under 250.
England 551-6 dec and 89-5; Australia 513
Over-by-over: After winning the last five sessions hands down, can England ram home their advantage? Follow it live with Carrie Dunn from 11.30pm.

Recent Vancouver reviews
"My wife, adult daughter and I stayed here four nights. The condo is exactly as pictured, clean and well-appointed. Location could not be better for a vacation in Vancouver. It was close to public transportation, which we used extensively. More important, it was with walking distance of everything we had on our agenda. We were very fortunate to have perfect weather when we visited which only enhanced the views from the unit. Looking across the inlet at Grouse Mountain and seeing North Vancouver, especially at night, is quite beautiful. Beds were comfortable, linens and towels were nice quality. A couple of area recommendations, if I may presume: Joe Fortes for dinner. Great history, ambiance, food and service. Yew at the Four Seasons for Sunday brunch. 1/2 price wines for "Wine Down Sunday". Just saying. Capilano Suspension Bridge is probably on your list and it is not to be missed. A final shout-out to Rajiva who responded immediately to a text from me about a tripped breaker. Told me where to access the breaker box and we were back up and running within minutes. Top-notch VRBO rental."Guest: Bill G. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 19, 2015View listing
"We loved the location of this quiet condo. Public transportation is all you need although parking is available. We also rented bikes and rode everywhere. The condo was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We are frequent VRBO users and can say this apartment was everything we expected. We also appreciate having pantry items so you don't have to buy the basics. Good communication with the owners and prompt transactions. The Wildtale Restaurant in Yaletown was also very good. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return someday."Guest: mh Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 3, 2015View listing
"Having stayed at this condo for one month, I can recommend highly recommend it. The place was clean and very well stocked with all necessary items. All appliances worked well, and the internet speed was strong. There is a little office area next to the living room, which is perfect for business travelers. The building is in a very nice area with all shopping, food, liquor store, etc...within a minute of two walk, or just downstairs. They have a nice pool and Jacuzzi and a small gym. The owners were very professional and took their time to walk me through their place and tell me about the neighborhood. The water taxis are just at the end of the street, along with the sea wall. In short, it is a very nice place to stay for an individual or a couple, and I would recommend staying here."Guest: daniel w. Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: December 14, 2014View listing
"We spent 8 glorious days in Vancouver and this condo is just like it is described and even better. Trish was so nice to work with - very patient and flexible with us because we kept changing our dates along the way. She met us there upon arrival and showed us around the condo. The place was a perfect size for the two of us - nice sitting area to read in the morning and the view every morning was spectacular. Extremely comfortable bed and the bedroom also afforded a lovely view. After a long day of sightseeing, it was great to come home to a place that was so comfy and actually we liked being there so much did take out a couple of nights just to stay at home. two block walk to the seawall which is a real treasure. great restaurants nearby - The Banana Leaf (Malaysian food) was excellent and a tapas restaurant on burard and Davie was also very good. If you like walking as we do, coal harbour is about 15 minutes away and that area of the city is beautiful. Stanley Park was a bus ride away and we went back there a few times. We would't hesitate to return here for a future vacation and probably would stay longer."Guest: patricia Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 17, 2014View listing

Rating: G - Suitable for Children
In a film designed to bring smiles to the post-toddler set on up to perhaps their seven-year-old siblings, this animated story by Arna Selznick (only the third woman in cinematic history to direct a full-length animated feature) is about the popular Care Bears. These loving creatures inhabit a realm in the clouds called Care-A-Lot, and their purpose in life is to get the humans down below to share their good feelings with each other. They watch over human children with large telescopes and help those children who need help. The Care Bears have their work cut out for them, because Nicolas, a lonely magician's assistant, is about to fall under the evil influence of a bad spirit who lives in an ancient magic book -- it seems Nicolas will do just about anything for friends. Aside from Nicolas, Kim (Cree Summer) and Jason (Sunny Besen Thracher) are in trouble because they are starting not to trust people after suffering many disappointments. Mickey Rooney is the voice of Mr. Cherrywood, the owner of an orphanage. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
