Non-bank sector finance companies and savings institutions.
Can the non-bank sector clear the hurdles set in their path?
KPMG's Financial Services group is proud to release the 2009 sector performance results for non-banks.
In 2009 the non-bank sector was faced with the most difficult market conditions for many years and for some probably the most difficult challenges ever faced. The benign conditions of the previous decade were long gone.
The starting point was the funding and liquidity pressures of the second half of 2008 that for many were ameliorated by entry into the Retail Deposit Guarantee Scheme.
However simultaneously the recession really bit and the last quarter of 2008 resulted in the evaporation of confidence in most sectors of the economy.
Accordingly the scene was set for the year: growing credit quality issues, margin pressure from an increasing cost of funds and a significant reduction in lending activity. These elements feature strongly in the non-banks' financial results which are discussed in the Sector Performance section of this document.
While there were less finance company failures in 2009 than there were in the two preceding years, the continuing falls in the property market, the lack of buyers in the market and lack of replacement finance for property developers has led to a raft of bad profit results, and associated negative publicity, in the finance company sector.
This has caused consternation to many in the non-bank sector and particularly those without an exposure to commercial or development property.
The combination of the very tough economic conditions, competitive pressures and the progressive roll-out of the new regulatory regime for non-banks have put a series of hurdles in the path of the sector, particularly the finance company sector.
Our survey looks at the following hurdles set in the path of the non-bank sector:
We expect some entities will not be able to clear all these hurdles and others will look at the total number of hurdles and decide this is not a race they wish to run.
If you would like further information please feel free to call me or your KPMG contact to discuss further.

Awesome work!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Viktor, great rendering and colours
Wow awesome artwork there! I could just picture what happens next. The dragon swooping down and attacking the people there. Though it looks like he got hurt earlier in one of the fights.
me encantan los dragones, esta ilustración esta increible
Great Art. Action just as if from the RPG game
It will be an epic fight!!
Though the dragon is massive and must have done something to deserve being slain, its face looks docile.
(Kind of human-like)

The dragon's design is interesting. Its not the common dragon we all see. Great work
you guys go on without me...
I have to lead the advance in the opposite direction
I have to lead the advance in the opposite direction
yes! yes! a thousand time yes!!!!
Reminds me of Dark Souls
I love how (even though this is a very old and oft-done concept) you still managed to make it look so fresh and interesting. The dragon is, in a way, more intimidating than if it was the sleek scaly version, and everyone else has so much personality.
Great use of shadeing. the texture on the wings did rly well in contrast to the rest of the body. im not sure why there are a few crystals lieng about although. they look cool but i dont know why theyd be in that particular spot. i could see them better growing in caves.
I really like the wings... He also seems to have a fur on the back of his neck which I also think is kool. Aweesome job!
Ahh so amazing! The dragon looks as though he is a part of the earth
Very nice
Very nice
wonderful work
Nice monster design and the whole details well done !
holy crap!!! I can't breathe!! is too awesome!!!
so full of colours and live! I'm in love with this painting!!

All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Shawnee : Pre 1970 item #445633 (stock #M2050)
Very pretty Shawnee shaker set – potted flowers with gold centers and gold trim! Shakers measure 3 ¼" tall and are in great condition with no chips or cracks. One has an underglaze burgundy color dot (production), there is minor gold wear, and they have lost their stoppers.
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Shawnee : Pre 1970 item #445630 (stock #M2048)
Shawnee's tall fruit shakers have such pretty colors! Shakers measure 3 ½" tall and are marked USA. These shakers are free standing but are designed to rest/hang beside Shawnee's matching utility jar. They are in wonderful condition (no stoppers) – one has a couple tiny glaze flake-offs that are of no consequence.
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Shawnee : Pre 1970 item #445629 (stock #M2047)
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
I have available two Shawnee Bo Peep pitchers! One has darker colors than the other one. Both are in excellent condition with no evidence of "use". The lighter color pitcher has a ½" slice type production flake off at the bottom of her coat – it has color and glaze – and it has a production flake-off on bottom, neither of which are detrimental to this lovely pitcher. Both are marked: Shawnee, USA, 47. Please specify lighter or darker color when ordering.
I have had this lovely Lefton cup and saucer for quite a while and displayed vintage pins with it because the "courting" scenes are very similar to ones on porcelain pins! Both cup and saucer have the numbers "5064" on them and both pieces are in excellent condition with no chips, dings, or cracks. Very pretty!
All Items : Books and Publications : Cooking : Pre 1960 item #445622 (stock #M2042)
Neat "How To" book for Sears Roebuck ColdSpot freezers! Book has instructions on how to care for your freezer, to prepare food for freezing, to freeze and store foods, and to thaw and prepare foods for the table. Interesting!
All Items : Books and Publications : Cooking : Pre 1960 item #445618 (stock #M2040)
I've grouped these three cookbooks into one listing! First one is "250 Breads, Biscuits, and Rolls", edited by Ruth Berolzheimer, the Director of the Culinary Arts Institute, and the book is dated 1950.
Next is Good Housekeeping's "Appetizer Book" with copyright date of 1958.
Last is "A Calendar of Desserts" by General Foods and dated 1940.
All three books are in wonderful condition!!

All three books are in wonderful condition!!
This is a most unusual item – a decorative egg plate made by Holt Howard! Plate is dated 1959, holds 6 eggs, and is in excellent condition.
There are 4 aluminum mini cookie cutters in this listing and they're a pretty dark green color! There's a cat, a chicken, a lion, and a horse – wouldn't these be pretty as decorations on a kitchen tree or as package tie-ons for that special collector? Purchase these and our item #M1953 and take 10% off!
These little aluminum cookie cutters are so cute! There are 6 silver color ones in this listing – there's a cat, dog, bunny, chicken, horse, and a lion. Cookie cutters may be used as intended but wouldn't they be pretty with red yarn "hangers" on a kitchen tree? Really neat items!
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Shawnee : Pre 1970 item #440742 (stock #M1949)
What a treasure! This listing has Shawnee's larger size (range top) shaker set from the flower and fern line. Measure 4 ½" tall and are in an unusual yellow with peach accent color. Shakers have minor crazing – no chips, no cracks. I replaced the cork stoppers with new, snug fitting rubber stoppers. These shakers are super additions to any collection!
This listing has 2 ice cube trays! One pull lever has "Cold Spot" while the other is unmarked. The Cold Spot tray is in very good condition, the other is in fair condition with evidence of use. Nice items, nicely priced.
All Items : Kitchen : Salt and Pepper Shakers : Pre 1970 item #440731 (stock #M1943)
Absolutely adorable musicians shaker set! They're horses and this couple is all dressed up – see photo. Stamped Japan on bottoms, they're in wonderful condition (one has lost its cork stopper). Measure 3 ¾" tall (at tallest). Super collectibles!
This is so cute – a recipe holder made by Miller Studios and dated 1973! Holder states "I'll hold it – you make it" and is free standing or can be hung on a wall. It's in very good condition with a couple tiny color dings on the green leaves and one at base, lower corner. Neat!
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
These canisters are a first for me! There are 3 in the set – one for gravel, one for seed, and one for treat. They have been kept in sunshine causing them to fade from a dark red to a red/copper color (inside of lids and canisters as well as exterior bottoms are dark red color). Gravel canister measures 5" tall, seed is 4 ½", treat is 4" – they have "use" evidence (some scratches and rubs) but overall are in very good condition. Super!!
These little Kromex ice buckets are difficult to find! This one is a lovely copper penny color with silver color heavy duty handle, measures 5 ½" tall, 6 1/8" diameter, marked Kromex on bottom.
Wonderful condition with very minor scratches and a lighter color spot at bottom – that's it!
Wonderful condition with very minor scratches and a lighter color spot at bottom – that's it!
This listing has an anthropomorphic tomato sugar (matches the shakers we just listed), a pumpkin creamer and a tomato tray with center handle! I purchased these 3 items together and am listing them that way. The sugar is stamped with M, half wreath, handpainted, Japan. The creamer is stamped Marumon ware, handpainted, Japan, US Patent no. 103028. Tray is marked same way except it has Japanese Pat. No. 71952. Wonderful condition!
All Items : Kitchen : Salt and Pepper Shakers : Pre 1980 item #429484 (stock #M1928)
Measuring 2 1/8" tall, these tomato shakers are a little taller than the others we've listed! Stamped on bottoms: Made in Japan. Shakers are in wonderful condition -- they do not have cork stoppers.
All Items : Kitchen : Salt and Pepper Shakers : Pre 1980 item #429483 (stock #M1927)
This is an exceptional shaker set! Shaped like pumpkins and their bottoms (green part) screw off -- no need for stoppers!! If that's not enough, they have original Montgomery Ward paper labels on bottoms. Excellent condition and super collectibles!

|Back in the ballroom following breakfast, I came upon a game of MacRobber just getting started. Mik, Bob, Thor, and Steffan were gracious enough to allow me to join in. In this game, you are pulling random cubes from a bag, to purchase certain commodities. The actual cubes pulled determine which commodities you are eligible to purchase. Somehow, I got lucky, and was able to pull cattle from the bag on all but one or two turns. Since there are only 10 cattle in the game, and we each started with one, that was pretty amazing. Having certain types of cubes on your game board had various effects on the game… one type of cube determined your hand size (cards were used for fighting), one type of cube gave victory points, one type of cube gave bonuses during combat. Having a lot of cattle proved to give me the best advantage, because I was an early leader, and after a round or so, nobody was even able to catch me. For that reason, I rated this game just a 6, as did Bob. Mik gave it a 5, Thor gave it a 3 or 4, and Steffan declined to rate it. I'd play this again, just to give it a fair chance, but I suspect it wouldn't come out very often.

text: Kingdom Tower planned as world's tallest building Wired Blog 02 August 11 by Duncan Geere Kingdom TowerView from the clouds(c) Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill architecture has announced that it's designing what it hopes will be the tallest building in the world, reaching 1,000 metres above the ground.Kingdom Tower will be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and stand as the centrepiece of the Kingdom City development. It has a construction area of 530,000 square metres, and when complete will stand 173 metres taller than the current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.Design development is now taking place, with construction due to start imminently according to the firm. It will reportedly cost $1.2 billion to construct, though that pales in comparison with the $20 billion cost of the wider Kingdom City project.The design itself is inspired by the growth of a desert plant, explains Adrian Smith: "With its slender, subtly asymmetrical massing, the tower evokes a bundle of leaves shooting up from the ground -- a burst of new life that heralds more growth all around it." Gordon Gill added: "The way the fronds sprout upward from the ground as a single form, then start separating from each other at the top, is an analogy of new growth fused with technology."Its tapered wings help with structural loading too -- shredding wind vortices that induce load on the structure. Inside, there will be 59 elevators and 12 escalators. The elevators that serve the observatory at the very top will travel at 10 metres per second in both directions. "Our vision for Kingdom Tower is one that represents the new spirit of Saudi Arabia," said Smith. "This tower symbolises the Kingdom as an important global business and cultural leader, and demonstrates the strength and creative vision of its people. It represents new growth and high-performance technology fused into one powerful iconic form." Get a closer look at what the tower will look like in our gallery below.

The Monthly GNU Column
This column looks into projects and current affairs in the world of free software from the perspective of the GNU Project and the FSF. In this issue, we take a look behind the drapes at the FSFE Annual General Meeting.
Welcome to a special issue of Brave GNU World focusing on the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). The fourth Annual General Meeting of the FSFE took place in Vienna at the beginning of May 2005. This meeting was quite special in many ways. Not only was this the first full meeting of the European core team of the organization; it also marked the end of the European Executive's term of office. The European spin-off has now been around for four years – high time to look back at the highlights, polish the crystal ball, and peer into the future. Battle against Software Patents The focus of the FSFE's work continues to be the battle against the patentability of algorithms. There have been various activities at various levels. The patent battle also influences the case of Microsoft versus the European Commission.

I installed Windows Vista last week. I need a legal copy of a supported version of Windows to use to VPN in to work and run the corporate Citrix client. Vista fit the bill. It's better than 8.1, and it's supported until April 2017. I always hated Vista, but 8 and 8.1 made me realize it could have been a lot worse, and on recent hardware Vista does OK. It still prompts you for admin rights too much and too slowly and makes you work too hard to click yes, but at least you can find stuff. Continue reading Windows Vista's market share is growing. After seeing 8.1, I know why

Things to do for your relatives' computers this Christmas
I wish I'd posted this last week, since many of us see one set of relatives at Thanksgiving and a different set at Christmas (and perhaps New Year's). Here are things you can do as preventative maintenance for relatives whose computers could use a little help. Continue reading Things to do for your relatives' computers this Christmas
Give your antivirus software a workout
Via PC Magazine, I found the AMTSO website, which is designed to test your antivirus software for proper operation. I think this is good for two reasons. One, it gives you a chance to see if antivirus software is operating properly. Two, it gives you a chance to see how your browser and antivirus software behave when something bad is going on. Continue reading Give your antivirus software a workout
This "Computer Maintenance Department" sure doesn't know much about computer maintenance
"Peggy" from "Computer Maintenance Department" (1-645-781-2458 on my caller ID) called again. Lots of people are aware of these phone calls. They call, make vague claims about receiving a report that your computer is running slow and giving you errors, and are very careful not to say who they are or who they work for. Usually I just do whatever I can to get them off the phone.
But after having lunch with some other computer security professionals last week, a couple of them talked me into finding out how these guys operate. So I fired up a PC that turned out to have a real, legitimate issue. After resolving that issue myself, I turned the caller loose on my semi-functional PC so I could see what these scammers actually do. He had me connect to Teamviewer.com and run their remote access software. I followed his instructions, watched him connect, then slyly unplugged my network cable.
When my network connection dropped, "Peggy" quickly transferred me to a "senior technician" who used the name "Roy." Continue reading This "Computer Maintenance Department" sure doesn't know much about computer maintenance
Antivirus progress
When Microsoft Security Essentials first came out, it was an improvement in antivirus performance. Now, it's middle of the pack, according to PC Magazine. That's great. Vendors are finally taking performance seriously.
What that means is that by replacing MSE with F-Secure Anti-Virus 2013, Kaspersky Anti-Virus (2013), Sophos Anti-Virus 10.2, ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6, Norton Antivirus (2013), Avast Free Antivirus 8, or Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013, you can speed up your computer. Considering Norton Antivirus was once bottom-of-the-barrel in the performance arena, I see this as a good thing.
Of the bunch, Avast is the only freebie. Though if your ISP offers one of the others as part of your subscription, or you don't mind paying for antivirus, the others are an option. But maybe, just maybe, if I replace Microsoft Security Essentials with Avast, Peggy will quit calling me at dinnertime and telling me my computer is slow. But I doubt it.

Some computer maintenance for the upcoming family get-togethers
If you're like me and do some computer maintenance for families during holiday weekends, the time to plan Easter computer maintenance is now.
Here's some stuff I recommend doing to keep your non-computer-enthusiast relatives' systems running smoothly. Be sure to bring your own laptop along, just in case. If a computer is too broken to get online or to get online safely, nothing beats a working system for downloading the stuff you need to fix it. Continue reading Some computer maintenance for the upcoming family get-togethers
The best free antivirus
I've been re-evaluating free antivirus programs. I think Microsoft Security Essentials is adequate if you don't engage in risky behavior, and it doesn't nag and doesn't expire, both of which are good things. The best detection in the world is no good to you the day after it expires.
If you want something better, the place to look is AV-Comparative's most recent test. In that roundup, I see four serious contenders: Bitdefender, Avira, Avast, and AVG. Those are the only four programs available for free that passed all of their tests with at least one star. Continue reading The best free antivirus
The men (boys) who spy on women through webcams
Ars Technica made a bit of a splash this week with this provocative headline. This is real.
The article gives the usual advice, like not opening e-mail from strangers, not clicking attachments from strangers, and not visiting dodgy websites. That's all good advice, as is staying off torrent and other file sharing sites, but even all that is not enough.

What to make of this Black Friday's sub-$200 laptops
It's still a couple of weeks off, but we already know two retailers will be offering sub-$200 laptops on the day the United States gorges itself on bargains.
The question is, what do you get for your $200 on these minimalist laptops? I'll answer those questions, then you can decide whether they're worth $200 and braving the crowds, the weird hours, and likely the cold. (Yes, there are costs beyond the money you spend.)

In the Therapist's Chair Is Clemmont E. Vontress: A Wounded Healer in Cross-Cultural Counseling
Moodley, Roy, Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development
In this interview, Clemmont E. Vontress, a pioneer of cross-cultural counseling, reflects on his life and work. He shares personal stories about the people and events in his life that had a major impact on his theory formulation; research and clinical work; and publications in culture, race, ethnicity, and counseling.
En esta entrevista, Clemmont E. Vontress, un pionero de la consejeria transcultural, reflexiona sobre su vida y su trabajo. Comparte historias personales sobre la gente y los acontecimientos de su vida que tuvieron un impacto significativo en la formulacion de su teoria; investigacion y trabajo clinico; y publicaciones sobre cultura, raza, etnicidad, y consejeria.
Clemmont E. Vontress has been an intellectual force in the field of cross-cultural counseling. In all of his research and publications--more than 100 articles, chapters, and monographs on counseling culturally different clients--Vontress has emphasized the critical interplay of culture and ethnicity as key variables in the process of empathy, compassion, and healing (see, e.g., Vontress, 1962, 1971, 1979, 1982, 1991, 1999, 2005, in press). His work has had a significant impact on multicultural counseling theory, research, and practice, influencing numerous counseling academics, researchers, and students, as well as many counselors and psychotherapists working in clinical practice. For nearly 50 years, he has written on five main themes: self-hatred, cultural difference, existential counseling, historical hostility, and traditional healing (Vontress, 1996, p. 157). His ideas are growing in significance in counseling psychology as scholars, researchers, and practitioners search for new paradigms to represent the complexity of a dynamic multicultural society wherein clinical practice must engage. Vontress's work has been instrumental in providing the starting point for many discussions regarding cultural diversity, diaspora, immigration, class, sexual orientations, and disability.
Vontress's personal and professional life has been epitomized by the radical prose of Frantz Fanon's (1952/1967) Black Skin, White Masks and the contrapuntal rhythms of Ralph Ellison's (1952) The Invisible Man. In Ellison's quintessential American novel, the protagonist is in search of a personal identity that is beyond the racialized and ethnicized constructions of subjectivity that have been consciously and unconsciously imposed by the events of U.S. history. In 1952, at the time that Fanon was writing Black Skin, White Masks, Vontress was graduating from college, perhaps experiencing the exact thoughts of Fanon: "It is not I who make a meaning for myself, but it is the meaning that was already there, pre-existing, waiting for me ... waiting for that turn of history ... I am a potentiality of something" (Fanon, 1952/1967, p. 135). In an interesting turn of history, Vontress was sent to Europe when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. Although based in Germany, he also spent time in Paris, where he could have sat in the same cafe as Fanon, listening to Jean-Paul Sartre, each being so close but never physically meeting. In the collective unconscious, there may have been a meeting of the mystical and the spiritual part of each of them. Indeed, Vontress's own search for a subjective identity beyond race and ethnicity has led him to become one of the most significant figures in the culture and counseling movement. Yet, being a cross-cultural counselor in the West, especially in the United States, has been a culturally wounding experience for Vontress. Perhaps the very notion of cross-cultural counseling itself is a wounding experiencing for those who engage with it, either as therapists or clients. Vontress has become culturally wounded (as a healer) and been made invisible, or rather, as a result of being invisible he has become wounded culturally. Throughout his 40 years of infusing culture into counseling, he maintained a strong position of therapeutically working with clients in a way that transcends race, culture, and ethnicity, so that their subjectivities can reclaim their universal humanity. …

Why Pandora Missed a Beat as SiriusXM Surged
TheStreet) -- Shares in Pandora (P - Get Report) are poised for a 20%-plus 2012 loss after the popular internet radio service cut its full-year earnings late on Monday. In contrast, satellite radio giant SiriusXM (SIRI - Get Report) is on track for a 50%-plus year-to-date gain. At first glance, the divergent earnings and stock performance of Pandora and SiriusXM indicates satellite radio is winning out competitively to streaming radio, which can be accessed on desktops and by way of mobile devices. A closer look indicates Pandora and SiriusXM are far from direct competitors, and that the outperformance of the satellite radio giant has little to do with its technology.SiriusXM's success hinges on strong performance in the new and used auto market and a realization that the company's nationwide news, talk and sports content are hard to replace, even if competition mounts among streaming music services. Players like Pandora and Spotify are fighting for market share, meanwhile recent reports indicate Apple (AAPL - Get Report) may soon launch a streaming music service. Still, that competition has done little to dent SiriusXM's a post-crisis stock run, which is continuing in 2012. As Pandora shows signs of struggle by way of reduced earnings guidance and a revenue picture that's clouded by content costs, SiriusXM's nationwide non-music programming gives the company a moated value proposition to consumers that's increasingly playing out in automobile. The earnings contrast between the competing satellite and streaming services indicates they may, in fact, be far from direct competitors. On Monday at the UBS Global Media Conference, SiriusXM chief financial officer David Frear made highlighted that the company's improving financial picture hinges on how its non-music offerings are driving subscription growth, primarily in new and used automobiles. Meanwhile, the company's moat around auto subscribers is growing, as car makers continue to post record sales figures. "You don't have to pay for an 80's channel," said Frear at the UBS conference, of the value proposition SiriusXM offers outside of satellite music streams. The CFO added its non-music content like Howard Stern, nationwide sports play-by-play and specialized content like CNBC and Bloomberg radio that are driving the company's paid subscriptions. Strength in the auto market, meanwhile, gives the company confidence in its financial picture. At the Monday confidence, Frear affirmed SiriusXM's full-year 2012 guidance and detailed to investors how the company expects each new dollar in revenue to contribute roughly 70% to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization [EBITDA] in coming quarters. Frear said SiriusXM expects 40% EBITDA margins when the business matures and spent a significant part of the company's presentation talking about how the company could use growing cash flow for acquisitions or, in the absence of a compelling deal, stock buybacks.NEW YORK (

Sorry! [/quote] You didnt read it, have you? No, exactly as i thought, your just here to troll. Same as the other loser AC 29077765. First you ask evidence, which i gave you, then deny this evidence and use a straw men to try to not look at what it presented. Ad hominem, appeal to authority, strawmen, it there any limitation to your mental discrepancies?! [/quote]
Original Message
If you try to discuss Chemtrails with others, you may well find yourself very frustrated. Many do not want to be involved, which is a central problem of having Chemtrails stopped. I'm ever so pleased to say that many are finally beginning to ask what the white lines in the sky really are. As more people get involved in understanding the chemical make-up, we will eventually have them stopped.
Initially, in the late 1990s or perhaps earlier, the Aluminium Oxide portion of Chemtrails was being used to reflect sunlight and help cool our Earth in a project which has come to be known as geo-engineering. Investigators then became curious and began conducting lab tests on air samples.
The following list of ingredients was born:
Aluminum Oxide
Barium Oxide (see recent study here)
Bacteria such as Anthrax and Pneumonia Nine chemicals, including Acetylcholine Chloride
Twenty six heavy metals including Arsenic, Gold, Lead, Mercury, Silver, Uranium and Zinc
Four molds and fungi
Seven viruses
Two cancers
Two vaccines
Two sedatives
E.coli Salmonella
How does HAARP play into all this?
The HAARP array is based just north of Fairbanks, Alaska. For me to go into HAARP would fill volumes, same as the mountain of evidence for the use of Chemtrails. However, the more you read, see, and hear the facts, you will then be more able to decide for yourself what is right. From my research, I believe that HAARP uses the Aluminium in Chemtrails as an electrical wire. If so, this may be why HAARP can travel the world.
Once trails are laid, the Aluminium could be up there for up to two years. Keep laying the trails, and you keep advancing. We now know that HAARP can cause specific earthquakes and we suspect other ailments to Earth. I say "specific" because HAARP scientists have admitted that energy direction is possible. This energy can be guided to where the operators want a quake. The US Navy that runs HAARP have stated that, they will own the weather by 2025. It would appear they are well on their way to accomplishing that goal! I wonder, with all the weird weather we are having, are the HAARP people running practice runs? I believe you will find that Chemtrails are more important to the military than merely sun reflection.
Then there are new diseases like Morgellons.
Again, I will not go into great detail as I want you to get involved to read up on it. It is a huge subject, and a disease that should not have been inflicted on Mankind. The evidence for this horror is mounting, as the links below will demonstrate. It is suspected to be in Chemtrails, and if seen on a person it appears as if worms have invaded just under the skin causing unbearable itching and burning. It is suspected that these worms are in the control of something outside the person, and are perhaps even nano-based. So what are we to believe? That this is another project the military has developed in their 35- to 45-year head start? It is very hard to understand someone developing such a weapon . . . if it is a weapon. But, if it is, it would not be the first time that the military produced a bioweapon. Please read up on Morgellons, as the more informed we are, the easier it will be to eradicate it. Cliff Carnicom's site, as well as Vaccine Liberation Army would be the key places to learn more about Morgellon

I am searching for a photo of Ra'adin Royal Star, the sire of Simeon Shai. Does anyone have one?

Nov 14 2006, 03:12 AM
Hi Nancy,
He is on Page 180 of The Arabian Horse in Australia book Volume II, also you could try Marion at Simeon Stud who may have a photo of him. I was recently looking for a photo of a stallion in my mares pedigree, and although he has been dead for quite some time, contacted his last owners. They have just sent me some nice photos of him, and I got to hear a few stories about him also which was really nice.
Good luck
Liz Allen
Nov 14 2006, 04:43 AM
Unfortunately this isn't an option with this stallion as the man who imported him (David Kemp) died several years a go.
I have only seen the one photo of this horse too, the one which Menna mentioned.
Nov 14 2006, 07:25 AM
This the only picture I have of him!
Hope this helps!
Nov 14 2006, 01:02 PM
Thank you very much, Nasser!!
And thank you, Menna and Liz, for the information.
Menna, didn't I see some beautiful photos of Marion's foals that you too for her web site??
Thanks again,

Yes, some of the photos of Marions website are mine. It was really lovely going to visit, we just got to laze around in the foal paddock in the afternoon and watch then as they ran around, or came up to us to check us out!!
Hi LoLoXLC,
The photo that I was talking about is the last photo that you have actually posted. I'm sure there must be some more photos out there of him though?

Desert Oasis, that's what I really think about this area. From the fantastic and diverse geology to the well-rounded weather, the Columbia River Plateau is truly an oasis in the desert. I hope you enjoy viewing these photographs as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
I decided to start my adventure in photography in March of 2004. My first weapon of choice was the Olympus D560Z, a wonderful point and shoot digital camera that my wife got me for my birthday. The little camera sparked my imagination and after a year of experimentation, the spark became a flame. Three years later and I am now armed with a Canon 30D and a host of lenses covering all focal lengths. I have had work featured on the front of Weekly Shot, File Magazine, Flak Photo and the Washington State Tourism website.

Active Investing: The Case for a High Conviction Approach
By Arthur P. Steinmetz, President and Chief Investment Officer
Our firm believes that to win, one must be different. Bold. In the world of asset management, being bold is being a high conviction, active investor with a global perspective and the ability to distinguish between intended and unintended risks. As it happens, these are precisely the characteristics that, according to a growing body of research, have consistently outperformed not only passive investments, but other types of active strategies, as well.
In the perennial debate over the merits of active and passive investing, the passive camp argues that the average actively managed fund trails the average passive fund over the long term. There's more to the story—a lot more.
The fact is that not all active management styles are created equal. A certain type of high conviction, highly active manager, dubbed "diversified stock pickers" in a groundbreaking series of academic studies, has a clear record of outperforming both their benchmarks and associated passive strategies over a range of time frames, even net of fees. At the same time, the supposed benefits of passive strategies don't always hold up. Indeed, some of the ingrained issues of many passive strategies often prevent them from accurately reflecting market realities.
Actively managed investment strategies should play a key role in any investment portfolio for a variety of reasons:
- Diversified stock pickers have beaten passive strategies globally Net of fees, truly active diversified stock pickers outperformed the most common benchmarks over meaningful time frames.
- Passive strategies are not as passive as you think Several facts inherent to many passive strategies keep them from ever being truly indicative of market realities.
- The coming market may favor active managers A more mature phase in the profit recovery cycle may offer active managers a better opportunity to add value.
In short, a truly actively managed investment strategy can give investors the chance to outperform over a long period of time.

Archived Story
Pastor has left imprint on IrontonPublished 9:28am Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Pastor Dennis Strawn may not have been from Ironton originally but he embraced his adopted home wholeheartedly, immersing himself, his family and his congregation at First Baptist Church fully into the community.
That makes the announcement of his pending departure that much more painful.
After more than two decades at the Ironton church, a time in which he led many projects that impacted the community including the construction of the $1.3 million faith and Fitness Center, Strawn felt he was being called by the Lord to move on to help another community.
Strawn is heading back to Illinois, the state where he went to school.
He will certainly be missed by his parishioners, as well as the community as a whole, for the way he carried himself and the way he led the charge to be a community leader.
Under Strawn's guidance Ironton First Baptist Church accomplished many things to help improve people's lives including coat drives, food drives, allowing the Ironton school district to utilize the facility during construction of new facilities and converting the center into a relief shelter after flooding hit our region hard a few years ago.
For that and more, Strawn will be greatly missed.
Oftentimes, it is our native sons and daughters making the biggest impact on their home. Other times those who come to call Ironton and Lawrence County home can have just as powerful effect.

The following release is from the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority:
JACKSONVILLE-ONWASA has issued a boil advisory for residents on 5 Mile Road, from Highway 111 to address 739 on 5 Mile Road, and for Williams Cemetery Road. This is a precautionary measure due to the water line break/bridge wash out caused by Tropical Storm Ernesto.
ONWASA is advising those affected to boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice, and washing hands) or use bottled water. Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease causing organisms that may be present in the water.
ONWASA will be testing the water throughout the day, and will notify residents once the boil advisory has been lifted. The first opportunity for the advisory to be lifted will be Saturday, September 2.
We thank our customers for their cooperation and patience.

Pet Shops in Sanford
Below is a list of businesses listed within our directory. If you do not see your business within the list below, you can submit it for addition to this list. Adding your business will feature your listing above Standard listings.
Settle Katherine Dr Veterinarian - Sanford, NC - Phone: (919) 775-7945
Helpful Definition for: Pet Shops
A pet store may sell live animals, or it may sell items related to pet animals. Some pet shops in Sanford sell only one kind of animal or products related to it, while some shops may sell different varieties of animals. If the store is adequately staffed, the pet shop owner may just come in to check inventory, order supplies as needed, check the live animals to be sure the employees are feeding them well, and do various employee reviews.
A pet shop owner in Sanford may have to make calls to breeders to see if there are more puppies or kittens that can be bought for resale, must also make appointments to have the animals vetted in Sanford hospitals to be sure the animal is truly healthy to be sold.

UK's Largest Brewer And Pub Owner Improves Its Pedigree By Selecting Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi For Nationwide Wireless Upgrade
LONDON and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS) today announced that it has been selected by Marston's PLC, one of the UK's leading brewers and pub operators, and the world's largest brewer of cask ale, to supply Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi equipment for use within its pubs and restaurants nationwide. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/uks-largest-brewer-and-pub-owner-improves-its-pedigree-by-selecting-ruckus-smart-wi-fi-for-nationwide-wireless-upgrade-187715121.htmlWith over 2,000 locations across the UK, Marston's wanted to better leverage Wi-Fi to improve the customer experience and increase the efficiency of its operations. Pubs, restaurants and retail outlets of all kinds are looking for new ways to attract customers, keep customers more engaged and leverage Wi-Fi analytics that could provide insight into innovative new services. Customer use of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets in UK retail environments continues to increase rapidly. In a recent survey by eConsultancy, 43% of respondents in the UK said they had used their mobile devices to compare prices and look at product reviews while out shopping, up from 19% in 2011. And according to an OnDevice Research survey, 74% of respondents in the UK would be happy for a retailer to send a text or email with promotions while they're using in-store Wi-Fi. "Marston's had installed Wi-Fi over three years ago and has always taken a very active and early adopter role in the use of technology in our operations," said Rob Derbyshire, operations manager for Marston's Telecom. "But since that time–with the rise of Wi-Fi-enabled devices of all shapes and sizes– the world had changed–making Wi-Fi no longer simply nice to have but rather a strategic necessity." To improve service efficiency and guest access, Marston's is installing Ruckus ZoneFlex dual-band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi access points (APs) both indoors and outdoors. These Smart Wi-Fi products support line of business applications such as in-store electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) systems that staff access using tablet devices to provide a more flexible way to take orders, settle bills and provide a greater level of service.
