18A Buchanan Galleries, Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 2FF
0141 331 1112
A message from Marian, the store manager: If you're travelling to Lakeland in Glasgow for a specific product, please telephone us beforehand on 0141 331 1112 to check availability.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and is a major tourist destination. Second only to London for "retail therapy", weekends get very busy!
We're situated on the first floor of the Buchanan Galleries. There are two entrances to the galleries: one in Buchanan Street, where you have access to lifts and escalators; the second in Sauchiehall Street where there's a walkway and then an escalator to the first floor. The main shopping area here in Glasgow is pedestrianised.
If you're using public transport you have various options to get here:
There are 2 train stations in the city: Queen Street Station is a mere 50 metres away from the Buchanan Street entrance, with Glasgow Central Station a 5 minute walk away. Buchanan Street Station on the underground (affectionately called 'the Clockwork Orange') is next to the galleries. If you choose to travel by bus, the Buchanan Street Bus Station is directly opposite us. Many other local bus services also drop you off near the galleries.
If you choose to bring your car, take junction 15, 16 or 17 from the M8 and follow the signs for Buchanan Galleries Car Park (the entrance is on Cathedral Street). This is a 9-storey state-of-the-art car park with 2,000 spaces, including 82 orange badge spaces and 'parent & child' spaces. It's patrolled, has CCTV, is well lit and has won the 'European Secured Car Park Award'. As a bonus, on Sundays you pay just is £1.50 for the first hour and £3.00 for all day.
Car park opening times: Mon - Sat 7:30am - 11:30pm, however there is no access to the shops until 8:30 and Sunday and Bank Holidays 9:00am - 11:30pm.
Glasgow is a Victorian city and the architecture reflects this. Some of the finest examples of this are found on the tops of buildings, so remember to 'look up'!
Please note
All enquiries, mail orders and catalogue requests are handled by our friendly and knowledgeable staff at our Windermere headquarters. They're available to help you on 015394 88100.

Chris Economaki, Renowned Motorsports Journalist, Dies at Age 91
Friday, September 28, 2012--Chris Economaki, Dean of Motorsports Journalism, died early this morning at age 91. Economaki was known for his distinctive voice and incisive analysis as both a columnist for National Speed Sport News (a paper he worked for as a teenager and eventually bought) and as a broadcaster working for ABC, CBS, ESPN and TBS. He watched and chronicled the careers of most of our racing heroes including that of A.J. Foyt whose comments are below.
"Chris Economaki meant a whole lot to my career. He saw me when I first started and he said I'd be the next one coming up who'd be a good race driver. He wrote, You will read about this boy. I don't remember if it was Ted Horn or who, but he compared me a couple times to these old greats which I felt very honored. I think he respected me and I respected him. He was a good friend. I really enjoyed his stories and it's a shame to see good writers like him pass on.
To be honest, Chris was writing when racing was at its very best. I'm talking about midgets, sprints, dirt cars and Indy cars. He saw the sport grow to where it is today and how it grew, including NASCAR. And he contributed to that growth. I'd say when he was in his heyday of writing that more people would read his column than any column that's been written today by far—I know I did. And I'm not the only person who says that. He really knew what he was writing about and he understood the sport in every field of it because he came through all the different types of racing. Today's writers haven't done that and they don't understand racing like Chris did.
Sometimes you didn't agree with all his articles, but one thing about it, you might not agree today when he wrote it but in the next two or three weeks what he said happened, so you have to give him credit."

France: Human epigenome consortium takes first steps
Paris – A global effort set to map epigenetic profiles of all 250 human cell types has been kickstarted by international researchers. Top biologists gathered in Paris at the end of January to launch the International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC), which will seek to map 1,000 reference epigenomes as part of its initial development activities. Epigenomes represent the pattern of chemical modifications to DNA and histone proteins in a cell that determine gene expression. Similar to the Human Genome Organisation or the International Cancer Genomics Consortiums (ICGC), the project is recruiting members among national funding agencies and other organisations to raise EUR95m in its first phase. Executive committee members must chip in at least EUR7.4m over five years, and participants must agree to make their data freely available.
1000 reference profiles of healthy human cell types
Faced with a rapidly-growing number of publications in the complex field of epigenomics, participants at the Paris meeting underlined the need for high-quality reference data. "We urgently need standardised data to be able to interpret the results of our experiments," said German researcher Jörn Walter, who took part in the meeting. Researchers agreed to focus on epigenome mapping of healthy human cell types. Funding agency representatives from the US, Canada, France and Germany expressed interest in joining the IHEC. The steering commitee now plans to publish a final policy document by June, when it will have nominated both executive and scientific boards. The consortium will then decide on each nation's contribution.

Toray Fingerprint Resistant Film For Smartphone and Tablet Touchscreens
- Fingerprint Resistant Film
- Toray Industries
- nano tech 2012
Toray has developed a finger-print resistant film using a unique wet coating technology. Marks from fingers don't easily stick to this film, and even when they do, they're hard to see.
The new film has a uniform layer of oil-repellent material, with a randomly wrinkled nanometer structure on the surface. This makes the film more resistant to fingerprints than previous technologies, while maintaining high transparency and gloss.
"Previously, there were mainly two types of fingerprint-resistant technology - oil-attracting and oil-repelling types. But there's a trade-off with those, either a lot of finger grease sticks to the film, or the marks are highly visible. By contrast, the aim of Toray's technology is to provide the ultimate option, which is that not only do fewer fingerprints stick to the film, but they're also less noticeable."
"Let me explain using this acrylic panel with film on it. If you leave an oily fingerprint, it's like applying a stamp with oil. With previous films, the oil sticks fast. With this film, the fingerprint still leaves a trace, but it's very hard to see. That's a feature of the new film."
"We'd like this film to be used where it's important to prevent fingerprints, so for example, as a protective sheet for touchscreens, or a glossy decorative material. We're still at the R&D stage, so we'd like to get feedback from all kinds of users, to make this film even more effective."

David Ward, a candidate in the 2013 Presidential election, has argued that the FIA is failing to meet good governance standards required by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Ward has released a comparison of IOC and FIA governance practices which contradicts Jean Todt's claim that the FIA's recent membership of the IOC means that it can "now boast the highest standards of governance".
Ward's comparative analysis shows that the FIA's election processes, its ethics committee, and its financial reporting fail to match good governance principles and practices of the IOC.
Ward also calls on the FIA to appoint an independent panel of three recognised sports governance experts to compare the Federation's current governance practices with the IOC and similar bodies such as the Federation Internationale de Motocylisme (FIM) and make recommendations for further reform.
In a letter to the FIA membership Ward explains that a comparative report would provide a neutral and objective study for the clubs to discuss. "Hopefully," he says, "this will bring about much needed reforms so that the FIA can finally claim truthfully that it meets world class standards of governance".

Dannii decided to quit 'X Factor' over feuds?
And being compared to Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole, who is one of the judges, has not been easy for her. "It was tough for Dannii last year and she got a lot of negative press. A person can only take so much before asking, 'Is it really worth it?'," the Sun quoted a pal as saying.
"Dannii felt bullied by Sharon during her first series and that was tough, so she was looking forward to Cheryl joining the team last year. But that became a nightmare too when the rumour mill went into overdrive with stories about the two of them competing against each other for Simon Cowell's attention. Simon is being patient so far, but she can't leave it too much longer," the pal added.
Minogue is still discussing her options with rugby boyfriend Kris Smith, and is expected to deliver her decision to X Factor producer Richard Holloway next week, ahead of the first set of auditions in front of the celebrity judges on June 8.

After receiving numerous reports of serious fungal infections among patients taking tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) blockers—infections that in some cases resulted in prolonged hospitalizations and death—the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ordered manufacturers of the drugs to add a stronger warning to their label.
Labeling for these immunosuppressive drugs already warns that they may cause severe infections. But the agency has received some reports suggesting that physicians may have been slow to diagnose fungal infections among patients taking these drugs, leading to treatment delays and poorer outcomes. TNF-α blockers are used to treat a range of disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn disease.

Celebrating the New Year in Charleston

It is a rainy, gloomy day on St. Simons. B. J. and I are warm and cozy in our island cottage and I'm writing while she concocts some "rainy day" soup.
Charleston, South Carolina figures prominently in my family history. The Boyd family has roots there dating to colonial times. I had ancestors living there during the great Charleston Earthquake of 1886, my brother is buried there and I still have family scattered around Charleston that we visit from time to time. Any serious genealogical research of my family history eventually leads to the Charleston archives. B. J. and I have spent much time there across the years and know the place almost like the backs of our hands. Charleston is a fun town. We have cruised the waterways in my brother's boat and in ferries and picnicked at Fort Sumter. Cousins Patty and Paul Runey have boats to do that now when opportunity arises.
B. J. and I were on our way to Charleston again for some events we had never experienced in Charleston: see the old year out and the New Year in and be part of a big wedding on New Year's Day. Big Red wanted to visit Charleston so we left Little Blue snorting and pouting.
Big Red, feeling his super premium oats, pranced onto I-95, put his head into the wind and headed north in a gallop. For New Year's Eve, the traffic was moderate but it showed promise of picking up later in the day. Big Red was feeling good. He felt like he was King of Road. The Corvettes annoyed him some. He wanted to take them on. I was constantly slowing him down.
It was lunchtime on the road. B. J. had made us some sandwiches and snacks. We often eat in the car when we are traveling; it conserves time and it's economical too. Just before crossing the Savannah River B. J. broke out the eats and we had lunch at 70mph on I-95. Now that's fast food.
At Pocotaligo, SC, (Pocotaligo also figures into our family history) we accessed US 17 toward Charleston and reined Big Red into the foreboding South Carolina Lowcountry. The Lowcountry (sometimes spelled Low Country) is a geographic and cultural region located along South Carolina's coast. The region includes the South Carolina Sea Islands, which were once a location known for its agricultural wealth. The Lowcountry today is internationally renowned for its historic cities and communities and its natural beauty. Its unique cultural heritage has attracted millions of visitors and thousands of new residents. Across the years, B. J. and I have spent many hours exploring the antebellum homes and plantations in the Lowcountry. However, traveling US 17 through the swampy Lowcountry gives one an eerie feeling especially at night if it is raining. Big Red just bared his teeth, chomped his bits and took the Lowcountry in stride.
In time, I bridled Big Red into the stable at our comfortable quarters for the weekend. We were smack dab on the marsh about a mile from the Intracoastal Waterway. An adorable little backyard picnic area, including a swimming pool, beside the water with steaks on the grill would be a delightful place to welcome the New Year. It was cool and cloudy in Charleston and no one would be in the swimming pool at midnight.
Our amiable and cute receptionist handed us our keys and we unloaded Big Red's saddle bag and piled our traveling rags on the bed. Then we headed on over to Tootsie's (my-sister-in-law) place on the waterway about a mile away.
We have many fond memories of the Boyd home place on the Intracoastal Waterway in Charleston.
We were greeted by mushy hugs and kisses. We visited with our fun family for a few minutes. The family was in a tizzy getting ready for the big wedding on New Year's Day. So, we exited and returned to our weekend residence. B. J. wanted to do a little shopping and we had some time on our hands.
I had cooked a pot of black-eyed peas and hog jowl before we left home on St. Simons. B. J. carried a container of it to have on New Year's Day but we had no collard greens. We had to head up to the Piggly Wiggly to collect some collard greens and fixings for New Year's Eve. A lively New Year's weekend in Charleston was shaping up. It appeared that sleep was going to be scarce. - Next Week: a fantastic wedding on an old southern plantation.

As mentioned, some very specialized equipment is needed to scout and hunt in shallow backwaters and on large rivers and reservoirs. A shallow-draft johnboat (must have a semi-V bow) is the ticket for hunting in thin water, and a long-shaft, direct-drive motor (Go-Devil, Mud Buddy, etc.) will plow through shallows and brush where an outboard is worthless. A portable blind on the boat is a nice extra but not a necessity.
Also, an ATV can be handy for running off-road trails, and a good pair of waders, a hiking staff, and a backpack will provide walk-in access to hard-to-reach hunting spots. A 4-wheel-drive pickup or SUV will allow boat launching on unimproved ramps.
A larger, deeper boat is necessary for running big water. High waves and strong currents can be dangerous, and a deserted stretch of river is no place to find trouble. Also, an outboard with enough power/speed to cover long distances on rivers and lakes is advisable. Sometimes you will have to run several miles before locating a spot where waterfowl are working.
A topographic map is indispensable in looking for new hunting places. I maintain an extensive map library. If I identify a new potential hunting spot, the first thing I do is obtain a topo map that covers it. Having good geographical references is vital in scouting, especially for figuring out how to get into an area.
Also, a GPS (global positioning system) unit makes navigation a snap. By marking and following GPS waypoints, you can weave your way through a swamp with confidence.
For those who can bear the expense, flying is one of the absolute best ways to scout for waterfowl spots. You will spy places you never imagined existed. When you identify an area for scouting, you can hire a small plane and pilot and check it from the air, looking for potholes, sloughs, openings in green timber, etc. You can also figure out the best way to get into these places. Be sure to take your map with you on the flight, and mark it so you can follow up with an on-ground exploration. Truly, an hour or two in a small charter plane will pay long-term dividends in waterfowl hunting pleasures.

SIKESTON - Mrs. Fern Bowman is acting as an assistant in the Leo Fisher office this week during the absence of Mrs. Hunter Albritton, who is on vacation.
SIKESTON - The 1963 version of the Sikeston Bulldogs grid team took the practice field yesterday for their first workout under Coach Sapp.
CHARLESTON - The city council in special session Tuesday night heard a report from City Manager Bob Morris on a meeting he attended in Jefferson City about the proposed merger of electric companies.
10 years ago: Aug. 29, 1993
SIKESTON - Smooth seems to be the key word describing the opening of schools throughout the area. Sikeston R-6 Superintendent Robert Buchanan said the first week of classes has been excellent. Initial enrollment figures hit 4,352, which is up slightly over the 1992 enrollment figures. At Scott Central, enrollment is up by 35, bringing the number of students in grades K-12 to 403, according to Superintendent Ray Shoaf. Today, students of the Kelly school system near Benton returned for a short day that ended at 1:22 p.m. The classrooms have no air conditioning, a problem currently being solved by construction workers. School bells began ringing a little after 8 a.m. Monday for students attending Chaffee Schools and if the first two days are any indication of the rest of the academic year, it's going to be a good year, said Wayne Pressley, superintendent. There were a number of new administrators, including a new superintendent watching the opening day of classes last week in the New Madrid County R-1 School District. The opening of school, reported Superintendent Dr. Mike Barns, was smooth. First day of school for students in the Charleston R-1 District and East Prairie R-2 District begin for full sessions today. Enrollment figures will be available later this week. "If things were going any better, I don't know what I'd do," remarked Carrell Odom, who seems to be pleased with his first week as superintendent of Richland Schools. Student enrollment is estimated around 455, about the same as last year.

3-Day Forecast
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio – A union representing a Butler County fire department rejected a proposal from the city to save 11 firefighter positions.
On Friday, members of the International Association of Firefighters Local 336 voted 44-25 to reject the plan, appearing to put an end to a months-long effort by the two sides to reach an agreement.
If passed, the "Memorandum of Understanding" would have saved the positions and eventually four future firefighter jobs that are now being eliminated from the Middletown Division of Fire's budget.
That will drop the city from 76 to 65 full-time professional firefighters. Middletown doesn't employ part-time or have volunteer fire crew members.
"Middletown Firefighters didn't like many of the features drawn up by the city that left thousands of residents without safe and adequate Fire and EMS protection and thereby couldn't adopt the city's plan," according to a release from union representative Greg Justice.
He said throughout the whole negotiating process it seemed the city had a "hard time identifying" its goals and effectively communicating them. In addition, he said, it appeared Middletown leaders had a "lack of awareness of what the citizens truly wanted."
"It is unfortunate both parties couldn't effectively collaborate to mitigate their competing concerns. The firefighters did reach deep with concessions the city was looking for, however it never seemed as though the city had similar concerns regarding citizen's safety as held by the firefighters."
The need for a new labor deal came about after Middletown drafted a cash-saving budget in November 2013. Part of the push to balance the budget called for cutting the jobs of 11 firefighters and four other positions would be eliminated through attrition.
Local 336 information officer Chris Klug said it costs the city about $100,000 per firefighter for an entire year.
At an Aug. 19 Middletown City Council meeting, City Manager Doug Adkins said the city and the fire union had reached a tentative agreement on a two-year deal that would have saved all 15 positions, according to the Journal-News.
The union was scheduled to vote on the proposal later that week, but the 74 members never voted, Justice said. Then earlier this month, the city extended the deadline for an agreement from Aug. 16 to Saturday in hopes the union would accept the city's offer, Adkins said.
But the firefighters were informed by email that the layoffs would go into effect at 7 p.m. Saturday. All of them had fewer than seven years of experience.
Justice said the city's decision to cut positions, and close Fire Station 84 due to , was to the firefighters' "bewilderment."
He also said the "the firefighters do have a long-term plan to reduce cost but never really had a chance to present it." He didn't provide details on what that alternative plan would entail, however.
Why did the union allow 11 of their coworkers to lose their jobs instead of agreeing to the deal?
Justice wrote that the firefighters felt agreeing to the city's plan as-is would be "misleading" to residents of Middletown who recently agreed to a adopt a public safety levy.
"The firefighters felt the manner in which the recent public safety levy was championed to the community: As residents were advised their Fire and EMS services protection would stay the same with the adoption of the levy, would now be misleading to the citizens," he wrote. "As the new tentative agreement calls for significant increases in response times and gave concern for the availability of Middletown Firefighters to even respond at all."
The letter from Justice also indicates that firefighters were told by Middletown's law director, Les Landen, and Fire Chief Steve Botts that whether they adopted the city's recent proposal or not, staffing levels would remain at 13 firefighters, instead of the previous total of 16.
"That level of staffing is insufficient to provide safe adequate Fire and EMS services to a community as large and diverse as Middletown," Justice claims. "Furthermore, this reduced staffing level is also contrary to the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Standards governing adequate staffing for the incident scene."
But Adkins has said in the past that the city prepared for the layoffs by making a change to "first emergency first" (FEF) to "better operate under the reduced staffing level."
Under the FEF, each fire house will be equipped with a medic unit and a fire truck, and the firefighters would take whatever piece of equipment was needed for the specific emergency calls.
Through the agreement, the city would have been allowed to hire full- and part-time firefighters without "blowing up" the budget, maintain current service levels and to begin building additional flexibility and capacity for the future, Adkins said.
Adkins told Journal-News reporter Rick McCrabb there are 26 full-time firefighters, those who work 51-hour weeks, who are eligible for retirement over the next five years.
When those positions open, Adkins said, "cheaper" firefighters would have been hired, which would have saved the city money and allowed it to concentrate on other areas, such as paving roads.
Justice said those firefighters will be less experienced than those on staff.
When contacted Saturday night by the Journal-News, Adkins said he couldn't comment because the union hadn't told him it had rejected the plan.

text: Posted October 11, 2012 I would fire Hurney without even thinking about it. In 2nd place is Chud. There aren't many teams that would keep a GM that has failed 75% of the time. It's not like Richardson is scared to spending money. Richardson is more than willing to pay players, but Hurney is putting the resources into the wrong positions. Honestly, I really do like Williams and J-Stew... a lot. The problem is that you don't need great RB's to be good. Get Cam a better offensive line and better weapons to throw to and that's all we need. Obviously we need a REAL NFL offense, but that's besides the point.

Electric vehicles (EV) have been a large segment for venture investment the last few quarters. Many governments, including the US, are making major commitments to EV development. At SVB we have also seen a number of startups of the two and four wheel variety, and even a three-wheeler. Some notable financings that are close to home for SVB: Tesla Motors and Fisker Automotive — $1 billion support from DOE. Two California-based makers of luxury EV cars received a combined $1 billion in loan guaranties from the Department of Energy together with several hundred million dollars of equity. For Tesla, the money will be used to build a production facility for its long awaited "Model S" sedan, which can be had for just under $50,000 (after tax incentives). The Fisker money will be used to fund the completion of development of the plug-in hybrid "Karma," and development and construction of its second vehicle and manufacturing facility. Tesla announced its plans for an IPO in late January, which comes on the heels of the DOE loan. The recent filing of solar panel manufacturer Solyndra also came after DOE participation - the DOE insists it's not a stock picker! Tesla is currently profitable, but has shipped a bit more than 1,000 cars and the new "Model S" won't deliver until late 2011 at best. A Better Place — $350 million fresh equity. One of the key challenges facing EVs is infrastructure necessary to support a vehicle with a 200-300 mile range. Even with battery improvements, quick charging is a challenge. A Better Place is developing a battery switching station network to address this need. Think "battery exchange" in the time it would take to fill a gas tank. The money will be used to expand beyond its pilots in Israel, Denmark, and Japan. Fun EV fact: there is an estimated 120 million electric bicycles in China and recent coverage suggests the pedestrian dangers of the all-too-quiet e-bikes are spiking traffic accidents.

Neon nail polish is going to be a huge trend this summer, but some ladies might feel like it's a big commitment. What are you supposed to wear with vivid nails? Should the rest of your makeup be understated? Will everyone be staring at your hands? Don't worry! There's a simple way to ease yourself into the trend.
Glamour Magazine's beauty blog recently featured a neon and nude manicure found on Pinterest. Dubbed "the halo effect," this manicure relies on an undercoat of bright nail polish and a neutral, flesh-toned color on top, which doesn't cover the entire nail. You could do it with bubblegum pink, lime green, yellow or orange – whatever floats your boat!
Just paint on two coats of neon polish, like you'd find in the POP Beauty – Nail Glam collection. Then, use a toothpick dipped in a nude polish from BABOR – Nail Color to draw a circular shape on your nail that's slightly inside the edges. Fill it in, then finish up with a topcoat and you've got an unexpected mani that won't be too in-your-face!

The Cal basketball team didn't have enough Wednesday night to beat a Top 25 team for the second time this season.
No. 14 San Diego State played smothering defense and found its offensive rhythm in the second half to post a 77-57 victory over the Golden Bears before 9,426 fans at Haas Pavilion.
Unlike three weeks ago, when the Bears knocked off No. 21 Temple in Florida, they could not finish the job this time.
"They're tough," forward Harper Kamp said. "That's a good team."
"They've got some guys that can really play," coach Mike Montgomery added.
Cal (5-3) led by as many as five points early and trailed just 43-42 with 131/2 minutes left. Ultimately, the Aztecs had too much firepower, the Bears not enough composure and the visitors improved to 9-0 for the first time in school history.
The Aztecs outscored Cal 16-5 over the final five minutes to turn a physical battle into a rout in front of a crowd that included former Cal stars Kevin Johnson and Shareef Abdur-Rahim, but also a healthy SDSU contingent.
It was San Diego State's first win over Cal at Berkeley since Jan. 4, 1941, and the outcome snapped the Bears' 22-game home winning streak against nonconference opponents.
"I don't think it's disappointing. We just have to learn from it," point guard Jorge Gutierrez said. "It's just a loss. We have to move on."
The Bears won the battle of the boards against a ferocious rebounding team, forging a 38-28 edge in that category. They got 19 and 18 points, respectively, from juniors Gutierrez and Kamp.
Senior center Markhuri Sanders-Frison had eight points and 12 rebounds, but he missed several minutes in the second half after aggravating his right foot, which was diagnosed this week with plantar fasciitis.
"He'll be all right," Kamp said.
Not much else worked for Cal, which shot 38 percent, missed all nine of its 3-point attempts and turned the ball over 18 times against the quick and aggressive Aztecs.
And Cal's freshmen showed their age in this one. Starters Allen Crabbe and Gary Franklin combined to shoot 0 for 8 in the first half. Crabbe finished with five points and four assists, while Franklin was 0 for 4 with three turnovers on his 20th birthday.
"Absolutely, they have to learn from it," Kamp said of the freshmen.
Cal's defense held early, but the Aztecs shot 71 percent in the second half, aided by a handful of uncontested layups or dunks off turnovers or bad shots. Sophomore forward Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points and James Rahon, a transfer from Santa Clara, had 15, including three 3-pointers in a 21/2 minute first-half burst.
Point guard D.J. Gay scored all 14 of his points in the second half, including four 3-pointers.
The easy breakaways really got under Montgomery's skin. "When you let the ball get thrown over the top of you for layups on the break, it just doesn't work," he said. "It's basic basketball 1-A. You've got to protect your basket."
Cal led by five points early, then missed 12 straight shots and went more than 10 minutes without a field goal, and still trailed just 28-26 at halftime.

Netflix Rally Halted After BofA Downgrade
The big Netflix stock rally has gone too far, too fast, one analyst says.
Netflix shares surged 35% over the last six trading days through Monday's close. That run-up was good enough for Bank of America Merrill Lynch to downgrade the stock to underperform — the equivalent of a sell rating.
"We now believe the risks outweigh the reward," BofA analyst Nat Schindler wrote in a note to clients, while maintaining his $72 price target. "This quarter reminds us a lot of last quarter, with heavy short covering driving the stock up post-quarter-end on no or limited news; a set-up we don't like to see in any hyper-volatile stock like Netflix."
Shares recently dropped 8.2% to $67.57, pushing Netflix back into negative territory for the year.
More In Netflix
The downgrade comes after BofA upgraded the stock on Aug. 14. Now, Schindler says he's become more concerned about the company's domestic streaming business and its international streaming profitability.
Competition from Amazon.com also remains a concern, he adds, even amid recent chatter downplaying that company's threat. Schindler is also less confident Netflix will meet subscriber expectations.
"Early this year, Netflix put out a 'soft' guidance target of 7 million net subscriber additions to its domestic streaming business," Schindler says. "From our conversations, as well as Street estimates, it is clear that few if any believed this number from the get go and fewer believe it now."
The BofA downgrade comes after some relatively upbeat analyst chatter on the stock in recent weeks. On Monday Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock, noting the recent rally should have stamina. Last week Citigroup issued bullish commentary on the stock, noting soft broadcast network ratings suggest shifting user viewing habits may be benefiting Netflix.

As a child we couldn't wait for the ice cream truck to come by so we could take our dollar out and get some ice cream on a hot, sunny day. Still to this day the music of a ice cream truck makes me feel like a kid again. But because of a "few" people objecting to this they aren't allowed to drive the truck through Marietta any longer. If they are going to complain about this then I think they need to take ice cream out of all convenience stores and grocery stores and close all ice cream shops in town also.

Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter
It's not often that you see a review for a body butter from me on Beauty Info Zone. I usually ask Lisa if she'll write them since she's a connoisseur of this type of product but when iFabbo sent Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter I knew she was going to come out on the losing end. After my experience with Perlier's Refreshing Ice Body Water I just had to experience more from Perlier. This might change me into a connoisseur too.
Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter
Imperial Honey Body Butter is an extremely rich, thick moisturizer for your body. In one day you'll notice a difference in the softness and texture of your skin. At night as I change into my pj's I notice the little flakes of skin that are on my socks and the inside of my slacks. It's not a pretty sight. The very first time I used this body butter after a shower, I had none of that in the evening. None! I was totally amazed.
Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter
I couldn't believe how luxurious this felt either. It's created using the rare honey of Black Bees that's combined with Royal Jelly. It's a thick cream yet but once it's on your body, it melts into your skin, so you don't end up feeling any tackiness. Within minutes you can get dressed without ruining your clothes.
Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter
Now you may or may not know that I'm very particular about fragrance so it was a surprise to me that I liked this. It's not cloying but it is a strong fragrance (in my opinion). Every time I open it it reminds me of my little honey bears that I bring out on holidays or use in baking.
The jar is a beauty too. It weighs 6.7 fl oz so it's quite heavy; since you don't need a lot it will last you for a long time. Perlier Imperial Honey Body Butter is only available on HSN.com. While it's $40 you can use the code iFabbo5 and get $5 off. If by chance it's on waitlist then be sure you put yourself on the list to be reminded when it's back. It's so popular that you'll want to be the first.
With winter blowing in you're going to want this luxurious body butter to keep your skin as soft as can be. Have you converted to Perlier yet? — Marcia

USA, 2008, 74 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Art, Documentary, FantasyLanguage: English
DocNight presentation Thursday, July 15 at 7pm
Director Brett Ingram in-person!
Film and Q&A followed by a reception in Gallery 30
Digital presentation - Renaldo Kuhler is the only son of Otto Kuhler, a German immigrant who served under Kaiser Wilhelm in World War I before emigrating to America with seven dollars in his pocket. Renaldo grew up in the immense shadow of his father - who became a famous American industrial designer and an acclaimed landscape painter - and struggled for his own identity as an artist. Like many Germans, Otto Kuhler romanticized the American West and the freedom it symbolized.
When Otto fulfilled a lifelong dream by moving his family from upstate New York to a remote Colorado cattle ranch in 1948, teenaged Renaldo found the isolation unbearable and escaped to the private fantasy world of his notebooks. What began as the illustrated history of an imaginary country called "Rocaterrania" became Renaldo's lifelong obsession – secretly illustrating the coded story of his own life in plain spiral bound notebooks.
Rocaterrania is a tiny nation of eastern European immigrants who purchased a tract of land along the Canadian border - just north of the Adirondack Mountains in New York - after growing restless with America's notions of "democracy." Over the next six decades, Rocaterrania saw two revolutions and the rise and fall of a succession of czars, dictators, and presidents among a cast of characters vaguely resembling Russian historical figures. But, as the film reveals, each change in government reflects a deeper meaning for Renaldo, an outsider who struggled to escape an emotionally abusive family and searched for freedom within a real nation threatened by forces of conformity.

ORAN -- Once Oran seniors Mac McConnell and Gabe Kielhofner got going, the rest of the Eagles started to follow suit. Whether it started during the season or on Thursday afternoon.
They struggled mightily in the first half of the season with batting averages well below .200, but with injuries to two starters and a quick pep talk from coach Mitch Wood, both McConnell and Kielhofner turned their seasons around.
"Early in the season, we were struggling at the plate," McConnell said. "Coach pulled us aside and told us what he expected out of us. From there, we just built off of it.
"I think it has impacted the team as a whole too, what we've been doing."
The senior duo currently leads the Eagles in batting average and has became the catalyst to an explosive offensive unit. Showing their improvements to be true, McConnell and Kielhofner sparked Oran to a 23-9 win over the East Prairie Eagles in five innings where McConnell, Kielhofner and Trent Irwin were presented with a team-signed baseball in recognition of Senior Day at Oran High School.
"We were hitting lower in the lineup at the beginning of the year and wasn't really hitting all that great," Kielhofner said. "We had two of our guys get hurt and from then, we moved up in the lineup and have been hitting the ball.
"We felt like we had to take control and start doing something. Everybody has just been hitting too. It's contagious I guess."
Of the 18 hits Oran had against East Prairie, McConnell and Kielhofner, who bettered their batting average close to .150 points from their junior campaign, combined for five of them. McConnell went 3-for-3 with one RBI while Kielhofner went 2-for-2 with three RBI.
With runners on second and third in the bottom of the first inning, Kielhofner, the No. 3 hitter in the lineup, drove in the first of many runs on the day with a sacrifice fly to center field. McConnell, the No. 4 hitter, singled in the second run.
The rest of the Oran lineup followed in their footsteps with a total of six runs in the first inning on three hits.
"The past couple of games we've been hitting the ball and that's been a problem for us throughout the year," Kielhofner said. "Today, we just found ways to get on base. We just hit the ball."
After six runs in the first, Oran pushed a whooping 15 more runs across the plate in the second inning. Oran crushed doubles and found holes for singles in a 13-hit, second inning hitting display.
"Oran came out swinging the bat," East Prairie head coach Gary Scott said. "Everything they hit was hit hard and was in the gap. I was just thinking and hoping they'd just hit one at us.
"It was just one of those days where we couldn't get an out."
Nolan Urhahn and Alex Heuring followed in the seniors footsteps with three hits apiece. They each went 3-for-3 with four RBI. Freshman Kody Moore, who also started the game, had one hit which was the loudest and farthest of the day. Moore hammered a two-run home run well over the 351 sign in centerfield.
"I've seen a lot of hard hit balls out here," Wood said. "That's one of the hardest I've seen. It was tattooed."
Moored ended up getting the win in the lop-sided affair but was tagged with seven earned runs on eight hits and four walks. He struck out four hitters in his three innings on the mound.
"He's a freshman," said Wood. "The thing about him is he works at it. He's not going to quit on you.
"He's pitching about like he has been for a freshman."
Although down by 20 runs at the end of the second inning, East Prairie did not fold it up. They got to Moore for the majority of their runs in the third and fourth inning where they scored three apiece. East Prairie (12-8) had 11 hits on the day and impressed their coach with their fight and determination not to give up.
"We didn't quit," Scott said. "I give us credit. We hung in there and put up nine runs which would win you a lot of games.
"We've been down several games and they never give up. That's what I'm the most proud of them for."
Kaleb Williford, Connor Scott and Zach Downing all had two hits. Scott drilled a solo home run in the second inning while Aaron Miller drove in a team-high three RBI.
While both teams try and gear up for their respective district tournaments, Oran feels that they are right where they need to be. They finished the regular season with a 15-8 mark and will face the Delta Bobcats, a team they previously beaten this year, in the first round of the Class 1, District 2 tournament on Monday.
"I think we feel pretty comfortable going into districts with the three seed," said Kielhofner. "I feel we have the hitting and a little bit of pitching to go deep into the tournament and hopefully win a championship."
"Anytime you come out late in the season and play well I think that helps you build towards districts," McConnell added. "It's going to be a tough road to win that district. You can't overlook anybody so, we just have to come out and play our game.
"I think we'll be alright."

Cuomo Backs Queens Democrat in Tight Senate Race
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday endorsed re-election campaign of state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr., a Queens Democrat in danger of losing his seat in the wake of his support for same-sex marriage.
The endorsement comes as a Siena College poll released Monday found voters in the Howard Beach district are nearly evenly split between Addabbo and City Council Member Eric Ulrich, his 27-year-old Republican challenger.
Addabbo, a Catholic who represents one of New York City's more conservative state senate districts, was one of three Democrats in the chamber to vote against same-sex marriage in 2009. The three lawmakers changed their positions two years later at Cuomo's urging, giving the legislation enough votes to pass.
"This is a man of courage. This is man who stood up. This is a man did the right thing…who knew he was taking tough votes," Cuomo said of Addabbo before marching in the Columbus Day Parade on Monday. "I applaud that type of political courage," the Democratic governor said, standing beside the state senator.
Addabbo's vote for gay marriage incensed Catholic bishops and has become a point of contention in his re-election battle. Ulrich has said he opposes same-sex marriage and has attacked his rival for "flip-flopping" on the issue.
For Democrats, the contest is a must-win. Republicans now control the state senate by three-seat margin, and a pick-up of Addabbo's seat would virtually assure their control of the chamber for two more years.
Cuomo has mostly stayed out of Senate battles. He has a good relationship with Senate Republicans and recently endorsed the campaign of GOP Sen. Roy McDonald after the Saratoga-area lawmaker lost his primary. McDonald later dropped out of the race.


text: Far Bright Star : The year is 1916. The enemy Pancho Villa, is elusive. The terrain is unforgiving, the intense heat and dust both relentless and overpowering. Through the mountains and across the long dry stretches of Mexico, Napoleon Childs, an aging cavalryman, leads an expedition of inexperienced horse soldiers on seemingly fruitless searches. Napoleon has weathered the storms of battle with a toughness that has become like a second skin, with the Rattler, a horse who's as flinty and seasoned as he. But this time, Napoleon can't control one of his young soldiers who has a penchant for reckless, dramatic actions - and who singlehandedly, in his desire to prove himself, makes a move that is the beginning of the end. Before long, Napoleon's patrol is at the mercy of an enemy who is intent not only on killing Napoleon's men but on something much bigger: avenging a brutal act. Robert Olmstead describes the experience of battle so viscerally that the reader feels the fear, the danger, and the dread. With the precision of a master, he tells the harrowing and transfixing story of the last of these intrepid warriors.

SailFin 1.0 Alpha is here !!
By prasads on Aug 13, 2008
We are releasing SailFin 1.0 Alpha today !
Why Alpha and why now ?
They say that an open source project is in a perpetual beta. Agreed ! Sailfin crossed MS4 early this year in April, where most of the features that we expect to support in 1.0 was in. However there was a need to start testing the Application Server more thoroughly , so that users/developers could use it more reliably to prototype their applications and evaluate the capabilities of Sailfin. The last few months have been spent on testing and stabilizing Sailfin in a cluster setup and also fixing key issues across all modules . Hence this may be a good time to expose this tested binary to all the developers for evaluation and feedback.
What constitutes this Alpha release ?
This release has all the features that were there in the MS4. These features have been tested functionally and key issues have been fixed. In addition tests have been run on Sailfin in a multi-instance cluster setup for a 7 days in a row and issues uncovered were fixed.
In short, modules like
• Administration
• Deployment
• Monitoring
• SIP Network Manager
• SIP Container
are more robust and stable now. The focus on the SIP Network Manager has been on the TCP side.
JSR 289 was approved a month ago and we are working on making the SIP Servlet Container compliant with JSR289. Its still work in progress and the work is happening as I type !
Other features which are available but are of an Alpha quality are
• High Availability ( SIP and HTTP Session Replication )
• Converged Load Balancer
• Application Router ( With a facility to deploy a custom Application Router)
• OverLoadProtection for SIP Container
It would be good to have your feedback and / or issues on all these features and Sailfin in general. BTW, we have a new look for the download page as well !

LOS ANGELES — The median price of new single-family homes sold soared 11.2 percent in August from July, a new record, according to government data.
The gauge hit $256,900 last month, the highest level in more than five years. Its year-over-year surge of 17 percent was the biggest in eight years, according to the Commerce Department.
Homebuyers picked up more properties that were higher-priced; less-expensive homes had a more lackluster month. Sales ticked up in every region across the country except the South.
But total sales dipped slightly, down 0.3 percent from July to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 373,000. Economists consider a rate of 700,000 to be healthy.
Still, sales last month advanced 27.7 percent from the same month last year.
