Sentiment: Strong Sell
Are you on dope? This is the buy of the century.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am with you.
Come on 10 and I will double down with my small number of overpriced shares.
My planned position in LNCO is actually 60% in BRY (for arbitrage) which has turned out to be safer as BRY price held up better. Worst case if BRY calls off merger, I should be OK for BRY sale to another company.
Right now, I am focused on buying more LNCO at lowest price I can. I hate the shorts. But you have to play the cards you are dealt.
My personal view is it is no good selling LNCO at bottom as I think it will recover most of loss.
My opinion is if it falls to 10, it recovers to 30+ in 6-12 months or sooner even in worst case if SEC inquiry is negative: Linn changes wording in disclosures, pays any fines, reduces distribution.
sorry, not selling, gl with that
15 will be here in a week, at which time you'll see ten bucks as the real target

JetBlue CEO: American Airlines should lose all Washington, D.C., Reagan airport slots in merger
Jetblue Airways CEO thinks American Airlines parent, AMR Corp., should have to give up the equivalent of all its flights at Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport if its merger with US Airways Group Inc. goes forward as proposed.
US Airways has 55 percent of flights at that airport, and no carrier should be allowed to exceed that figure, JetBlue CEO Dave Barger told Bloomberg News yesterday. U.S. regulators restrict capacity at that airport.
"That should be the ceiling," Barger said. "We feel very strongly."
The U.S. Department of Justice last month filed a lawsuit to block the American-US Airways merger, citing that it would be anti-competitive and would hurt consumers. That suit said the combined carrier would control 69 percent of flights at Reagan National Airport. That case is set to go to trial Nov. 25 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
American and US Airways officials have argued there's enough competition because travelers can use two other airports in the Washington, D.C., area.

News Summary: Disability insurance often a need
FORGOTTEN INSURANCE: Often overlooked, disability insurance protects from a loss of income resulting from an inability to work due to an accident or illness.
SOCIAL SECURITY INSUFFICIENT: About 153 million workers are insured by the Social Security Disability Insurance program through FICA taxes. But it has a very strict definition of disability and monthly benefit checks average just $1,111.
SEEKING COVERAGE: Private insurance coverage is most often sought out by high-income earners, self-employed workers and executives looking for supplemental coverage. An employer's typical group plan replaces just 40 to 60 percent of your salary, up to a maximum $60,000 a year.

Would recommend this 100. Truck was comfortable, enjoyed being on a small group, guide was friendly and had lots of local knowledge. Snowmobiling was the highlight of our trip.
Definitely a must do while in Iceland!!! It's a long day, but well worth the time and energy. Hey...you get to ride snowmobiles in literally the middle of nowhere.....on a glacier!! Pingvellir, Guilfoss and Geysir are both good stops along the way, building up to leaving civilization behind and heading out to the glacier area. Our guide was a self proclaimed Viking, and was really great fun!!!
Wow - A Brilliant day.... Excellent guides Hurli and Andsar... We had snow up on the glacier to make the snowmobiling even more fun. The Golden Circle was awesome from the waterfalls and the Tectonic plates to the Geysers. We even had time to rescue a 4WD jeep that had slipped into a crevice!!
This trip was a truly inspirational day ... Iceland is amazing!!!
The experience was wonderful. even through the rough roads. The guide was helpful and accommodating.
Two guys that were doing the guiding for the day were awesome, really helpful and came across very interested.
Good to see the sights, nothing massively overwhelming for me. Bring your camera!
Really enjoyed the Snowmobiling, First time doing it and picked it up in a few min. Was over too quickly as these things always are.
Fabulous tour with interactive guides who love to answer questions. You will learn more about life in Iceland than in any travel books. Guilfloss was unbelievable and my husband loved the glacier snowmobile in a snowstorm. Guilfloss hass a terrific tourist shop, contemporary styling and jewel colors in sweaters, all of much higher quality than in the city.
This was FABULOUS! We had such a great day! Snowmobiling was fun, but scary. The tour guide was wonderful!
Excellent!! The scenery was breathtaking. Snowmobile equipment was in excellent condition as well outfit, equipment plus boots. The guide added some extra stops at another waterfall and feeding horses. This tour is a must!!!!
We didn't complete this tour due to me slipping and breaking my wrist so missed out on the snow mobiling. The part of the Golden Circke tour we did complete was brilliant and our driver/tour guide and the super jeep was brillant. The tour cmany wete very good in arranging for me to get to hospital.
Excellent - the guide was very friendly, the transport was comfortable and the snowmobiling was thrilling!
This was a fabulous experience that left us with a real sense of well being. The tour guide was fantastic and I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Iceland. It was worth every penny.
Had a brilliant day - good mix between sightseeing and adventure - snowmobiles great fun
A superb day with a lively guide who took time to show us everything along the way and answer every question we had - and there were many. Highlights - EVERYTHING including deep snow which was enhance by very good weather, which s a bit unusual in Iceland. The monster jeep is awesome. Well worth every penny.
The tour is well worth the money. We spent all day with our guide, who was absolutely brill. Visited the geysers, the waterfalls etc. Then in the afternoon went snowmobiling. The guides were really good with us as we had never done anything like this before. Pretty scary driving through a snow blizzard!!! But it was worth every penny. Would def recommend and do again, hopefully in a bit better condition... ha!
The guides were fantastic. Very efficient and fun. You have more than adequate time at each location. The snowmobiling was exceptional- other than your group, you basically have the whole glacier to yourself. Really breathtaking.
The best tour available to do in Iceland by far.
Nicholas and Jon were great and patient guides! We got to see it all and while I was a chicken to drive my own snowmobile up and down ice, I piggybacked on Jon's and that was awesome! it was quite the adventure to get there via super jeep and some massive rock crawling for the last 20 mins or so but so cool to drive up a glacier! the snowsuits were great and meant we didn't have to bundle up much as they were very warm! The visit to Thingvellir was great as I had gone snorkeling in Silfra and it was a great perspective. Gulfoss was beautiful even though we didn't get the sunshine to have a rainbow and Geysir was cool and went off often so we could get picks without rushing too badly. Overall, a great trip!
This tour was amazing!
Excellent experience! Really excited to get the chance to sit in one of those giant jeep and got the best view to see the snowy mountain! Being engaged in the glacier snowmobiling is an unforgettable memory and experience. ITS FUN!
Wonderful experience !!!!
Very nice excursion but a little pricey: they could include the meat soup lunch for that amount ;-)
Such a shame we missed the glaciers and waterfall. But was an absolute experience. Stuck in about 3/4 foot of snow.. snowmobiling is amazing, it would be my new hobbies if we had that much snow.
The tour was very good. The guide also was good not excellent but really good. The only let down was that they didn't give us free time for the snowmobiling. They kept us in line behind the guide all the time.
Wonderful experience snowmobiling on the glacier
I do not think we received the tour we paid for. The photos of the vehicle did not match the one that picked us up. Also we booked the more expensive superjeep tour stating a max of 2 to 6 passengers, and we got a mercedes minibus with 12 people on it. The actual tour was fine and the sights were fantastic. Snowmobiling on the glacier was fun and certainly worth the extra 150 , however for the overall tour experience I feel we were cheated. there were many other golden circle tours for half the price, that seemed no different to the one we ended up doing, while the superjeep exclusive tour we booked appeared to be a lot more intimate, and go offroad more, warranting the extra cost. We didn't get that though. We didn't go through any rivers or crazy offroading like the other reviews raved about. just a snow road out to the glacier.

Tuesday, Cadet Class 2010 got down and dirty competing for the Big, Bad Basic title. Calling on skills they've learned the past few days, cadets battled and crawled through obstacle and assault courses, as well as other event.
Battling for the title of "Big Bad Basic," in a single-elimination tournament, contestants battled one another with pugil sticks. This year's title-holder, Sajuddin El-Amin, says compared to the days other challenges the pugil-stick fight was a breeze. He says, "Going through the assault course was most likely the toughest even that I did. The cadre are yelling out your name, you're hitting the ground, maintaining a low profile, putting your face in the dirt... that's probably the dirtiest I've ever been crawling through the mud."
Cadets will march out of Jacks Valley Tuesday evening, and training continues through August 5.
The fall academic semester starts August 10.

- 23 Jul 2016 Anonymous Ukraine
- " My brother and i stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm for 3 nights. The room only had one other person in it most of the time. There were lots of informational pamphlets available for tourists. All of the staff was friendly. Location is excellent. The hostel and rooms are all a bit cramped. The shower stalls are right in the lobby and the room is only separated by a curtain. The rooms got a little too warm and were slightly uncomfortable. However if you are on a tight budget this is a place to look at! "

The manager of our Kinston location then recalled the day. "Pete" followed the couple to their home to see what size they would need and if dirt would be required as "Pete" did many times. When he returned Our Manager was told the couple wasn't ready.......It would be a while before they had the money together and complained about them wasting our time.......
Come to find out they had sealed a deal the day "Pete" had came out. Signed a contract and gave a deposit with a check. Poor customers didn't realize that he had them write a check in a totally different name. It was written to "East Coast Metal Structure's". Our business name is TarHeel Metal Structure's,,,
The customer assured us he had no idea and I am sure he didn't either, We showed him what our contract looked like and he said yep that is it I have it at home and will bring it. GUESS WHAT when he found it it does look just like our all but the name.....ONCE AGAIN he changed the name on our contracts and put this "east coast metal structure's" on it.
When confronted about this by the officers it was told he says he wasn't employed by us when it happen... We have a copy of the check, the manger recalls him leaving on this day, and we have the pay stub where we paid Kenneth Osborn for the day of work... the customer wrote the check as a deposit on building...WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED???

Within twenty minutes of paying and searching I quickly realised that I had wasted my money but initally put it down to the fact that I am in the UK and the list of searches one can do is limited compared to the US. So I began to look for contact details of the company to request a refund on the basis that I am not finding membership useful for my needs. I was confident of receiving a refund as I realised their product was not right for me within minutes of ordering and receiving it.
Well - no contact details could be found on the website! I googled them and this site came up!! Now I am angry and I want a refund. Is there any chance we could all get on to them pronto? I have received absolutely zero for my money. Their 'support' you will find is a few lines of information relating to a tiny list of queries that do not include refund requests.
In short this operation is dodgy and I would appreciate if someone from RipOff Report could instigate an investigation right now. Goodness only knows what they are doing with our information now. Please - I want my money back, I could barely afford it to begin with but thought I would treat myself. I feel sick.

I'm having trouble understanding relative and absolute file names in WordPress.
I use Linux, so it's not a problem with the concept.
However, it seems that in WP posts, I can identify an image using an absolute file name in HTML, or using relative filename that begins with "wp-content". But I cannot seem to use relative filename that begins with the directory "image".
I saw where the upload default directory can be changed. Okay, but I don't like to use the WP uploader. I prefer to simple use FTP. So the upload directory is not really interesting, since is like to keep my images in subdirectories.
Why is the WP default directory "wp-content". Where is that coded?
I also don't understand how src= works. What are the rules?

I'm hoping you might add in the "Additional Settings" or "Advanced Settings" a check box for "Open links in new window?".
I've put in a dirty hack to my copy to allow it to happen, but it will be broken next time you update the plugin.
I added
to index.php in the plugin so it read:
<a href="'.get_permalink($id).'" target="_blank" class="tm_lcptu_post_title_link">
Thanks, Joe

I recently realised a museum site with a museum search page. The museums for a certain combined search (by country, city etc.) are listed in rows and also displayed as markers on a Map, I am using Pronamic Google Maps plugin. This is the page address:
Now I have two issues:
1) The page is "messed up" until the markers building up is fully completed, in the meanwhile a text list of museum is displayed instead of the correct page layout, thumbnails and titles.
2) I have only 150 museums listed (my plans is to have about one-thousend of those in a short time) but the page seems me already very slow, particularly when I do a search reset.
Is there something wrong in my plugin implementation or it is just a limit of Pronamic GM?
Any help appreciated!

James - I understand all of that and I don't have an issue with them sharing a roof but I don't like the concept of "certain Lpath employees" (I can guess who they are) moonlighting. I see that as a conflict of interest and if nothing else distracting from their real job that they are getting paid too much to do and are doing very poorly at the moment.
NYR1647 = like several have told you here - It is called a vote of no confidence. You think the only thing that can derail this investment is poor results from the trials. I think it has been clearly demonstrated here that poor decision making can be equally destructive. This started out as a six month delay and now look where we are with no change in the prospects that we know of. 1 + 1 = Management.
Sentiment: Hold
poor decison making? sure, they ran into bad luck with PED, but sometimes stuff happens. i think the management sniping by the people on this board are generally from a bunch of armchair QB's who have never had to make a real business decision. i guess we will see over the next 3 months. management team has laid out a a bunch of 1st half objectives ... lets see how they do on them
and i don't think it is a vote of no confidence. there is no voting. this stock trades 100k-200k dollar value on a daily basis.
Nyr1647 just to set the record straight I've been involved, at the management level, with two organizations going public (one globally), numerous M&As, three equity purchases and two management buyouts. As a current owner in $25M consulting organization I can say quite emphatically that the current LPath CEO & his decisions are the main culprit for the low valuation. Review the company information for the last 5 years and you might find that there has been nothing of substance offered from the organization.
Sounds about right for you from what I have seen of your posting content. I have 12+ years working with senior management of publicly traded companies including about 10 doing M&A work. I have been through a demutualization and and IPO. I also have another two on top of that working for a hedge fund in an investment management role. If you need a copy of my resume let me know. Would hate to have you thinking you are smarter or somehow more informed than the rest of us. And by the way, I don't hide behind fake identities. This address is the one I have been using for more than 10 years and my primary e-mail. How about you?
With the Merck and Pfizer monies on an early stage drug, I am somewhat satisfied with the mgmt. The manufacturing problems were not their making; FDA and the CMO are more to blame for that fiasco. Isonep for AMD will be a slam dunk, but I have to see more data with Asonep for cancer to believe that one. With much uncertainty about the cancer indication, yet mgmt was able to sell it to Pfizer, I give mgmt a two thumbs up for that. LPath got the best deal they could get with the condition that they have to stay mum with the trial results. This depressed SP is temporary. I just take it as more chance to buy cheap. I can wait til 2014 because I believe in the product. New partnerships for Lpathomabs would be nice.
I would be willing to bet that it's only one employee.

Ever since Chicago native Aries Spears was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox's Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country with his stand-up, Aries's talents are becoming recognized and appreciated throughout the entertainment industry.
As a principal cast member on Fox's hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries's talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches. Some of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar Bill Montgomery, Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown, Al Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch "Talkin' American" was Mad TV's most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad's ratings impressively on Saturday night.
Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels, which also starred Abe Vigoda and Sherman Helmsley, but never saw a theatrical release. He then appeared in Out-of-Sync, and portrayed Red Foxx in Warner Bros.'s Why Do Fools Fall In Love. In addition, Aries starred alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar's The Pest and delivered his most notable performance to date as Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s brother in Columbia's blockbuster hit Jerry Maguire.
Aries was born on April 3, 1975 in Chicago but grew up in New Jersey. He remembers at the young age of six being the funnyman of the household and impersonating family members at the dinner table during holidays. By age 14, Aries was belting out his fresh stylings in front of paying audiences at local clubs around his hometown. Shortly thereafter, he appeared on Russell Simmons's Def Comedy Jam on HBO and Showtime at the Apollo. The word was out about the prodigal superstar from then on, and in 1992, Aries moved to Los Angeles. He quickly landed a recurring role on NBC's A Different World, and was signed to a huge development deal at one of the major television studios. The following year, Aries found himself starring in the short-lived CBS series South of Sunset with former Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey. Although the series didn't last long, it did not discourage other networks from tapping Aries's talents for their projects, as he soon appeared in Crosstown Traffic and Brisco County, Jr. for Fox. Ultimately, Aries's fierce momentum landed him on Mad TV as a series regular, where he thrived for eight seasons.
Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects, which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Additionally, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: Loveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul Train, and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period, where he created some of the show's funniest characters during his short time there.
Aries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it's safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.

StarCraft 2 Trilogy Games Could be Released 'Years Apart'
Blizzard hopes to target a three-year release plan for all three titles.
At BlizzCon last week, Blizzard announced the surprising news that StarCraft 2 -- at least in terms of its single player campaign -- would be split up and released as three separate products: Terrans: Wings of Liberty, Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, and Protoss: Legacy of the Void. MTV Multiplayer got in touch with lead producer Chris Sigaty to get a few more details on this decision, and among other things, Sigaty revealed how long fans may have to wait between releases -- and the wait could indeed be long.
"With Warcraft III, we hit a year for the expansion. We'd love to hit that [for Starcraft 2], but honestly, with how story mode goes and with the pre-rendered and in-game cinematics, I don't know how long it's going to take, so it's hard to answer that question. We want to hit the shortest amount of time possible," Sigaty said. When further pressed whether that means the StarCraft 2 releases could be a year or more apart, Sigaty answered, "Yes, it could be. But let's spin that in a positive light! [laughs]"
In a separate interview with Joystiq, Blizzard's vice president of game design, Rob Pardo, also explained that he ideally sees the StarCraft 2 trilogy as a three-year plan. "With any luck, it would be like a year for each successive one, but that's going to be a target date, that's not a promise," Pardo said, after explaining the successive releases should be seen more as "expansion sets to the original" as opposed to separate products.
As for pricing -- a big concern for gamers who fear this may be a ploy to sell the same game three times -- neither Sigaty nor Pardo were ready to give any details. "You know, we haven't even talked about that yet," said Sigaty. "I don't know. They're definitely full-sized games. I mean, the scope will be big; it's going to be 26 to 30 missions in the first one, and we intend to have at least that much in the next after that."
Pardo was also quick to explain that the pricing will depend on how much content is in each release. "We would do the retail price based on the value that we're putting in the box," he said. "So, if the value in the box is less than the original, then we're going to price it like that. We're not just trying to get people to pay full-price for something that's less; if the follow-ups end up having the feature set of an expansion, then that's how they'll get priced."
While these expansions have mostly been discussed in terms of how they split up the single player campaign, Sigaty also revealed that each successive release will add new multiplayer units -- again, similar to a standard expansion pack. "Let's say we introduce a couple of new [multiplayer] units per side in the second one," he explained. "You would need to buy the expansion to have those units, that's the whole point of the expansion or the second part."
The first StarCraft 2 release is planned for some time in 2009, so if everything falls into the place, it seems we won't see the third release until 2011.

Jumping to conclusions.Posted: Oct 17, 2008 12:00AM PST by PSPal
From what I've read from other posts it sounds like many of you have dwittling "gaming boners" for sc.
I don't see why you're so distressed about the price. We've still have quite a long way to go before part one is released. Jumping to conclusions is just plain stupid. Think about Blizzard releasing 3 parts of a game for $50 each, it's freakin unbelievable and because it's unbelieavable chances are it's not going to happen.
Thank You.
crap...Posted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by Sigurd-Fafnirslayer
they better split the payment by three or they will lose out a lot, but you guys know there will be people that wil buy it any way
Pay 3 times as muchPosted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by Blazer88
Yup depending on the pricing here this could easily be a scam to get people to pay 3 times as much for the game which as anyone who plays RTS's knows every one of them out there usually offers a single player campaign for ever faction included with the game so this is actually a step backwards.
Really I think this is just a sign of things to come from the new merger that happened not too long ago. Some said it had no affect on Blizzard and at first i beleive it but I am sarting to not anymore.
In fact if anything I think the design of both this and Diable 3 is showing that Blizzard has clearly changed anyways as both these games are bing designed with mass sales being the main focus proof is that nither of these games seem to be doing anything to move thier genre forward and both just look like slightly updated graphic versions of the last.
I mean hell why even play Starcraft 2 when thier are far superior RTS's out there now anyways.
?! WHY !?Posted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by carnagebroodx
Man this makes no sense. Blizzard is single hadedly alienating the gamers that have supported them for a decade by playing the original game(that includes me). Blizzard is now on my shit list allong with MICROSOFT, EA, TECMO, and TREYARCH.
3 titlesPosted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by wizkid007
I for one, want the three titles. Starcraft to me was one of my all time favorite games. I dont care how much I have to fork over for them. I am going to play the trilogy and I am going to love every minite of it. Even if it is 60 bucks a pop. Who the hell cares, ill drop that kind of money to play one of the best games this decade in a heartbeat.
GreedPosted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by Argonaut000
Damn greedy blizzard, always trying to squeeze the most money out of you possible
GREATTTTTTT! *sarcasm*Posted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by naruchief
if you r going to release a game with only one race relased a year apart........that to me is lame. ok I understand how they r approaching this that each race has thier own game but really come on isnt that jst buying time to get the other parts of the game finished? I like a sucker will buy this no matter what but its lame we have to wait at least a year apart to play the other races. so what does that mean in mutiplayer we are all going to play one race with the 1st one comes and out and so on? no blizzard I disagree with your choice to do this and I dont like how you r going to distrubute the game. it better be not a full priced 50$ pc game for each race or story line.
i dunnoPosted: Oct 13, 2008 12:00AM PST by KILLERTrojan
but i think the whole game package is gonna be like a hundred bucks, and that aint pretty, but if bnet goes subscription-like i will totally hate blizzard.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - District 51 students will continue to go to school five days a week next year -- at least for now.
The school board voted 5-0 to adopt a traditional five day calendar for the 2011-2012 school year, despite conversations about switching to a four-day week or year-round school.
The resolution states:
"WHEREAS, currently 44 percent of the student population in Mesa County Valley School District 51 is at
or below the poverty level, defined by government standards, and currently the unemployment rate in Mesa
County is 10.2 percent and is not projected to improve in the near future: The Board of Education does not
want to place additional burdens on the community."
Board members did caution, however, that looming cuts could force them to take another look at switching to an alternative calendar.

Written + Photographed By Kelley Mullarkey | Video Produced By Sean Stillmaker
In the 90s people used to say, "there's no style right now. Culture is dwindling. Everything has already been done and seen." Similar to modernity's seemingly pessimist attitude, 15 years ago everyone was so quick to write the scene off.
When we look back today with wonder, we admire the way women emulated such chicness with their relaxed boyfriend jeans, sheer Calvin Klein T-shirts, bedhead locks and crisp motorcycle boots. As Helen says, "style after all, is very retrospective."
In her leather ankle boots, vintage dresses, jacquard scarves and urban weather inspired "Typhoon Puppets" prints, Helen and her quirky personal style account for one half of Electronic Sheep's hyper innovative team. The brainchild of herself and designer best friend Brenda Aherne, Electronic Sheep is the playful, socially aware, cultural obsession we're all secretly dying to be apart of.
Long before her fashion designer days, Helen latched onto clothing as a means of bonding and understood the life they possessed. To Helen, clothing represented music, sub-cultures and more importantly, an experience.
Raised on a suburban street in Dublin, Helen grew up in a household surrounded by fashion.
"My mother was quite glamorous in the 70s. She wore top hats, black and white flares and was always so confident. She just had her own style. I admired that."
Far from a girly girl, Helen found her tomboy counterpart early on when Brenda moved in next door. Soul mates from the start, the two were secretly destined to be creative counterparts all along.
"There was a natural energy going on immediately between Brenda and me. I remember I had a beloved pair of customized blue desert boots that I was so proud to own, and Brenda told me she liked them. That's kind of where everything started."
It's impossible to trace back the linage and evolution of Helen's style without mentioning Brenda. It'd be like Italy without wine and pasta – it's just not feasible. Plus the beauty of Helen's style rests in the memories and intimate stories she shares with Brenda.
Blessed with an older sister who was heavily submerged in the music scene growing up, Helen used to creep upstairs as a youngster and try on the Ska boys Herrington jackets (which reeked of smoke) when her sister would throw parties. A beginning guide to the pre-hipster mindset and era. Helen experienced first hand the relationship between clothing and culture.
Staying true to her interest in the fusion of music and style, during her adolescent days between the age of 12 and 18, Helen only hung out with rockers who sported long hair and embraced the sub-culture aesthetics.
"It was about how committed you were. Brenda and I were very critical about our appearances. We would banter back and forth about who wore the best cut off denim vest with ACDC logos on the back or who had the skinniest jeans."
Bouncing from her self proclaimed "Cure Head" days of shredded tees and late night gigs to short skirts and London's fierce club mentality, Helen laughs as she confesses to Sean and myself the period in time where she secretly "cheated" on her rocker look.
"London had a huge influence on both my style and inspirations. I had a very clever cousin who lived in Kensington and always knew everything that was going on. She introduced me to a new look of club clothes. There comes a point where you get a bit older and want to stop looking like a boy. That was the turning point for me."
Never far apart and always riding high on a similar wavelength, both Helen and Brenda went on to study at Dublin's National College of Art and Design. Graduating with a degree in graphic design, Helen creatively bounced around spending time working for both design firms and fashion publications such as Glamour.
During her time in New York City, her personal style took another turn and adapted to the coveted simplistic minimalism of the time.
"It was a change in style for me. I was working in fashion for a glamorous publication, went to Bloomingdales every Saturday for two years and would purchase something. I had never bought designer clothes previously, so I had the guilt complex at the beginning."
Nowadays her personal style is a combination from all different decades. A retro girl at heart, she's always got one eye looking forward and one eye looking back which shows through her designs. Favoring vintage finds alongside a cleverly curated selection of Electronic Sheep pieces, Helen's aesthetic is as interesting as the development of the brand itself.
Brenda recieved funding to start the company in 1999 and nearly lost it because the foundation did not like the name and demanded it be changed, Helen recalled. In the end the duo righteously won.
Always ahead of the game, they have gone to create an Electronic Sheep comic book that rears its head every now and then in various collections.
Sticking to just one collection per year, Helen pours her heart and soul into everything she does. Always keeping one foot in the freelance world, Helen is also an art director for SlashStroke magazine.
Inspiring us to always dress the way we want, pay tribute to the culture of our time and bring our passions to life, Helen offers us a life lesson, straight from her storyteller father.
"You can do anything you want once it doesn't hurt someone else."

I purchased a leather sofa-sleeper couch from Bob's Furniture and bought the 5 year "Goof Proof" protection plan. The salesperson told me this would cover any accident with my kids no questions asked.
My 2year old caught a toy on a portion of the leather and tore a 2x2 inch chunk off-- you can see the hole a mile away. I am within warranty and filed a claim. After an unusual and mysterious "send us a photo phonecall" I quickly realized that "Goof Proof" is an utter scam. I got an email back with from an address that does not accept replies rejecting my claim.
When I found a number and finally reached a person, I was told that the policy covers "a puncture, cut, tear, or rip in leather from a single incident", but they concluded from my photo that not enough "layers" were torn through and therefore the claim is rejected.
SCAM. As a consumer I am utterly disgusted with this. Bob's should be ashamed for selling these policies.

The last time France finished bottom was in 1999 when the tournament was still called the Five Nations.
Two Greig Laidlaw penalties in the first half were cancelled out by Frederic Michalak as France gained ascendancy in the second period.
Fofana's try in the 67th minute gave France a seven-point advantage going into the final stages, before Medard's try minutes later put the game beyond Scotland.
Tim Visser's late try did put Scotland within distance of a draw, but France held on for their first win of the campaign. It was not enough though, as they finished bottom of the standings.
Laidlaw put Scotland ahead early on with two 40-yard penalties after some patient build-up play in midfield, despite the greasy conditions in Paris.
France soon got a hold of the game, but a 10-minute period of sustained pressure in front of Scotland's line came to nothing, with the visitors' withholding attempts from Mathieu Bastareaud and Fofana.
Scotland then regained control, with replacement Max Evans close to getting on the end of a chip over last man Medard just before half time.
But with the pitch in Paris tearing up even in the very early stages, neither side were able to show any strength in the scrum.
France came out in the second half looking more positive, and halved the deficit through Frederic Michalak's penalty, minutes after the Frenchman had been involved in a heated scuffle with Stuart Hogg.
As the hosts came into the game more, Michalak again converted to level the scores with half an hour remaining after an offside penalty.
The French fly-half then put his side ahead for the first time, with Scotland's solid defence from the first half looking exhausted under waves of French attacks.
Laidlaw brought Scotland level with 20 minutes remaining after Michalak ran up a blind channel, but replacement Vincent Debaty found himself in a two-on-one situation 10 metres from Scotland's line, before opting to go alone where Vincent Clerc looked to be the better option for France.
But France finally made their dominance tell, with replacement Yannick Nyanga offloading to Fofana to outsmart Stuart Hogg score in the corner.
France then took a 14-point lead just minutes later, with the impressive Medard going over after strong work from outside centre Mathieu Bastareaud.
With five minutes remaining, Visser broke free with 30 metres to run after being offloaded by Matt Scott, putting the visitors within touching distance of levelling the match, but it was too little too late as the hosts held on.
A win for Scotland would have given them their highest points tally at a Six Nations Championship since 2006, while France finished with the wooden spoon for the first time in the Six Nations era.

Sure, grabbing a pumpkin at your neighborhood farmer's market is quick and tempting, but nothing compares to the experience of hopping aboard a tractor-pulled hayride, stomping through muddy fields, tripping over vines and searching for that perfect pumpkin. From Sauvie Island to Mt. Hood, we've picked a pack of pumpkin patches that not only have the hayrides, they also feature shark-infested waters and pumpkin shooting cannons. Read on to discover how Portland does pumpkin patches.

I noticed this on just this one installation of wordpress, not sure what could be messing things up. Here are the symptoms:
1. the date function in the footer
<?php the_time('Y'); ?> displays 2007
2. a media upload done today ended up in /wp-content/uploads/2007/09/
3. Posts created today however have a correct publish date of Sep 29, 2009
4. also in "general settings" in the admin the section that lets you select your date format is also showing the correct date.
What is going on? This installation is in a subdomain of my main site and the php calls for the date on my main site are showing the correct year, so it's not my server. I don't think... help!
