Now I don't want to turn this into a political debate. However you should know that I am a registered independent and have several fairly liberal views. I agree with Macca on many issues he supports (animals rights, etc.) . However I must say I was disappointed by this comment. And let me explain why before you all hang me.
I wasn't a big Bush fan. I rarely agreed with him. HOWEVER, I believe no matter WHO is President, insults on things such as intelligence is simply disrespectful, and very cheap. However on policy, everything is fair game as long as FACTS are used. Even in simple discussions like the lyric boards on here. When somebody disagrees and they simply insult someone with an opposing view and calls them an idiot, it really discredits their cause and how people think of them as a fair-minded intelligent individual. And I thought Paul was that. However this comment was simply uncalled for and tremendously unneccessary. Even people who greatly dislike Bush should be able to admit that a comment such as his was completely unnecessary. Once again, I'm not meaning to discuss opinions of George Bush, if this turns into that I will simply not respond. I wish to discuss the character of someone who uses insults to things other than policy and actions.

Retain forecasts for FY17E and FY18E
05 Oct 16
While LFL sales growth of 1.8% for the first 12 weeks of FY17 looked a little light, this was on the back of 2.8% growth in the prior period. H2 comps become easier to lap and Christmas bookings (festive trading comprises 15% of FY sales on average) are up 10% YoY.
Strong H1 17 performance, confident outlook for H2
20 Jan 17
Following on from the positive AGM statement at the end of November, MySale has released an upbeat pre-close trading update. Group revenue increased 6% to A$136.1m, while higher margin online revenue, now representing over 90% of the total group, experienced a strong rate of growth of 18% to A$126.5m. As a result, gross margin showed continued improvement of 270bps driving a 17% uplift in gross profit to A$38.4m (versus A$32.7m). Strong trading for the half, combined with a carefully controlled cost base, led to a doubling in EBITDA to A$3.0m. Management are confident going into the second half period and following the increase in guidance at the end of November, the company remains comfortable with current full year forecasts. More detail and an update on trading will be given at the interims expected on 1st March 2017.
EBITDA break-even reached, positive outlook
18 Jan 17
7digital's FY16 revenues increased 7% y-o-y and EBITDA profitability was reached, as targeted, in Q4. New contract wins in FY16 set the stage for a stronger top-line performance in FY17 and we consider management's reiterated target of operating profitability in FY17 as realistic. For an operationally geared growth company in its first year of profitability, the FY17e EV/EBITDA of c 12x looks attractive.
Small Cap Breakfast
17 Jan 17
Global Energy Development (GED.L) — To be renamed Nautilus Marine Services. Schedule 1 from developer and seller of hydrocarbons and related products. Reverse takeover. Raising $10.5m via a convertible. Expected 9 Feb. Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas—TSX-V listed oil and gas exploration has announced its intention to float on AIM. Assets in Guyana and Namibia. Proposed £2m-£3m fundraise. Diversified Gas & Oil—According to LSE website first day of trading on AIM now expected for 30 January.
A year of expansion
17 Jan 17
Final results are broadly in line with our revised forecasts on most headline levels in what proved to be a difficult year for the Group. That said, it has significantly increased room capacity, which is now +40% ahead at the time of the IPO (+14.5% yoy), which improves its competitive position and offering. We are maintaining our headline forecasts, and with the dividend expected to be held for the foreseeable future producing an 8.7% yield with a NAV in excess of 180p, we continue to believe there is strong long term value offered at present.
The Slide Rule
12 Jan 17
What is The Slide Rule? The Slide Rule has been designed to dramatically simplify the identification of the best companies in the UK small/mid-cap sector by making a quantitative assessment of the relative potential of each company. At its core, The Slide Rule aims to identify those companies that create genuine shareholder value through strong returns on capital and solid growth, but also present a value opportunity with the potential tailwind of earnings momentum. Companies are assessed within a Quality, Value, Growth and Momentum (QVGM) framework.

That's not what macca said...(i think i read it somewhere),EddieV wrote:Lazarus_2 wrote:I have yet to see Macca put as much energy into a solo project, as he did with Sgt.pepper.jules wrote:Absolutely, James. He felt sidelined and and as if he didn't really have a role during the Pepper sessions. According to G. Martin, George would spend hours (e.g. on the title track) carefully, meticulously, methodically and painstakingly working out every note of a solo. Then, later in the session, Macca would wipe it all and come up with a pithy, inventive solo in seconds to replace George's. While it's easy to feel sorry for George, Paul was so adept at thinking up musical brilliance on the spur of the moment.
There was, of course, a precedence for great Macca solos and lead guitar flourishes, e.g. The Night Before: Macca
Ticket To Ride: all Macca lead guitar
Another Girl: Macca lead guitar
Michelle: lead guitar solo (he actually used a bass to get that sound)
Taxman: solo.
So, it's hardly surprising that Macca went on to perform most of the lead guitar work on an album that was, in effect, very much HIS baby.
Mabye his next album can be "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Man"..
I don´t think it is a easy as that. I think Macca tries his best every time he records e new record.
this is the first time he actually set-out to make a good record(CACITB), which resulted in his best album IMO.

Second-Tier China Market Powers Up IT Device Sales
According to a Nov. 1 report from market research firm IDC, the middle third of China in terms of wealth will spend 13.6% more next year than this year on consumer electronics, more than the richest regions. The same segment would also lead the nation next year in buying smartphones, PCs and printers.
IDC is talking about places such as Tianjin, a 13 million-population city half an hour by train from Beijing, the province of Anhui just outside greater Shanghai and the western industrial boom megalopolis of Chongqing.
"We recommend that IT companies invest more in developing the markets in these provinces to strive for a competitive lead," IDC's Beijing research manager Xiao Hongliang says in a statement from the Massachusetts-based firm.
But a China cynic like me might be sitting in front of his Lenovo Tianyi Y300 laptop right now thinking, "hello, what's new?"
China is getting wealthier all the time, and the government has said consumer spending is top priority between now and 2015 per the current five-year plan for economic development.
It's actually simple. Second-tier China is growing. It's the teenager of Chinese consumption. Many people there haven't made their brand preferences clear yet, Xiao argues. The more mature markets of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in contrast, are better penetrated and easier to predict.
But in five years the middle-tier market will mature because of growing incomes, the IDC analyst expects. Whichever IT brands march on Anhui, Chongqing and Tianjin, among other places, are in for a revenue boost if consumers like their stuff.
Smartphones should top the priority list, says Taipei-based principal analyst Tracy Tsai with the market research firm Gartner. She describes that tool as "a personal companion device for not only phone use but also for content consumption."
Next, in order of popularity, are mobile PCs, media tablets and desktop PCs, she says. Mobile PCs, presumably laptops, are selling because their multiple functions can be shared within a family, Tsai adds.
Their relatively large screens make them more attractive than tablets for hours of videos and Internet surfing. Ultrabooks, which are lightweight, thin PCs with strong processors and long battery life, are just beginning to make an impression in mid-tier Chinese markets, she says.
"The overall purpose is to improve the life quality, education and entertainment," Tsai says, suggesting that companies keen on the middle-China market boost their brand recognition and customer service.

Fantastic product
Posted by Reviewer1175250 on Jul 05, 2012
This tea straw is really great. At the bottom it has a little spiral doohickey that stops any tiny bit of leaf getting into the straw. In practice, the tea is as free of leaves as with a teabag. This is far superior to many other bombillas I've looked at, which have holes down the bottom instead, and tend to allow in small tea leaves. It's also super easy to clean - the little spiral part lifts up easily with a spring mechanism. A rinse under the tap will basically have it back to pristine condition, and it's dishwasher safe. The straw also allows me to drink tea lying down. Best way to drink tea!
excellent quality
Posted by Reviewer2406648 on May 27, 2013
I bought two of these straws, for use with my own herbal mixtures of tea. I put my teas in a cup, then sip from the straw. It completely filters the tea, and only needs a quick rinse to clean. Excellent buy, as more primitive ones are the same price at my local co-op. Very high quality stainless steel, made in Argentina. For anyone who grows and harvests their own herbs, or makes their own blends, this is so much easier than trying to make tea bags, or filter with baskets. And the design is the very best of them all.
Not good with small pieces of tea leaves
Posted by Reviewer2126349 on Dec 29, 2012
With the Yerba Mate loose tea leaf I bought, it seems to go through once the teas have infused the water. I think it works well with large tea leaves.
WOW What a great way to drink tea
Posted by Reviewer2798647 on Apr 05, 2013
This is a super invention. I use it to drink my Jasmine/Green loose leaf tea.
Tea Straw works great!

I love it. I used it in my green tea and it blocked all of the leafs. Great cleaning too. It does not work as well with smaller leaf pieces but it's still really good.

All indications are he likes it at OSU, and he hasn't been a discipline problem or an attitude problem as far as anyone can tell from outside the program. My own take is that he has already "earned" his carries from scrimmage with his special teams performances last year. He shouldn't have to prove himself any more than he already has.

"Multiple league sources" tell Profootballtalk the Browns nearly acquired 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh in a trade before hiring Mike Pettine to replace Rob Chudzinski.
That would qualify as a bombshell. Per PFT, a deal that would have sent "multiple" draft picks to San Francisco was "in place" before Harbaugh decided he wanted to remain with the 49ers. If true, it would be a sign that tension between Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke is worse than previously reported, and that extension talks have been going far from smoothly. Of course, Cleveland's interest could have been the impetus for the sides to get serious about reaching a new deal. PFT reported last week that the 49ers are hoping to extend Harbs' deal this offseason. He's currently signed through 2015. It's a fittingly-bizarre capper to the Browns' magical mystery tour of a coaching search.

Defense, Police, HEMS Operators to Headline Dubai Helishow
Major military, air medical and SAR operators will be among the more than 100 exhibitors at the 5th biennial Dubai Helishow, set to kick off Tuesday, Nov. 6 at Grand Stand, Meydan Racecourse. Organizers are expecting an estimated 2,000 visitors to the Middle Eastern helicopter souk, or marketplace.
Dubai Helishow has, in fact, now grown to be the world's third largest international show for the helicopter industry, behind only HAI's Heli-Expo and the U.K.'s Helitech. With numerous Gulf Arab states embarking on military modernization programs and the military helicopter market being particularly robust, the military side will be well represented. Both Qatar and Saudi Arabia have already requested assistance in purchasing large numbers of AH-64Ds and MH/UH-60s. Both Boeing and Sikorsky will have a military presence at the show. Sikorsky has arranged for a UH-60 from the UAE Air Force to be exhibited at the show, while Boeing will talk about its international programs such as the AH-6i.

Topic: Improving response times, fast queries, slow scopes.
Hey all,
In my app I have organizations that has_many projects through participations. I also have a named_scope that determines what the latest project is for an organization:
named_scope :latest, lambda { { :conditions => ['projects.start_date < ? and projects.end_date > ?', time = Time.current, time],
:order => 'projects.start_date desc' } }
Not terribly complicated I think, it compares two columns with a date and orders by one of them. Looking at the database query results are returned by mysql in a matter of miliseconds (about 4) on my dev box.
However timing the query in console here's what happened:
>> t = Time.new
=> Sat Jun 27 22:48:42 +0200 2009
>> Organization.first.projects.latest ; nil
=> nil
>> puts "Total time to completion: #{Time.new - t}"
Total time to completion: 0.152634
=> nil
So 153 miliseconds to execute this query. But looking at the dev log:
Organization Load (0.2ms) SELECT * FROM `organizations` LIMIT 1
Organization Columns (1.5ms) SHOW FIELDS FROM `organizations`
Project Load (1.3ms) SELECT `projects`.* FROM `projects` INNER JOIN `participations` ON `projects`.id = `participations`.project_id WHERE ((`participations`.organization_id = 1)) AND ((projects.start_date < '2009-06-27 20:50:33' and projects.end_date > '2009-06-27 20:50:33') AND ((`participations`.organization_id = 1))) ORDER BY projects.start_date desc LIMIT 1
Clearly the database isn't taking much more than a handful of miliseconds, so it seems that Rails is taking about 150 miliseconds just to build the query, which seems a little high to me.
I can fragment cache the individual projects but I need this query to see what projects are to be shown to the current_user.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with optimizing this sort of thing so any pointers would be very much appreciated.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, may be demonstrating its next-generation DirectX 11 graphics processing units at Quakecon, a video game convention held yearly in Dallas, Texas. The company claims that it has exclusive Area64 room at the show and that it shows next-gen technologies there.
"Area64 will be exclusive access only, meaning, you can try to find it, but its hidden and being kept secret. AMD will be showcasing what we lovingly refer to as 'The Future'," said Ian McNaughton, a senior manager of advanced marketing at AMD.
Even though AMD now has a rather broad portfolio of products, it is doubtful that the company demos its 32nm central processing units or next-generation core-logic at a computer game convention. A logical assumption would be demonstration of the next-generation ATI Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs) that support DirectX 11 application programming interface (API) and belong to Evergreen family of GPUs. Mr. McNaughton marked his statement with "DirectX 11" tag, which indirectly confirms that the claim refers to the forthcoming graphics cards.
Back in the days, ATI used Quakecon to show the power of the now legendary ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (R300), the world's first DirectX 9 graphics processor. In 2002, the company equipped several PCs with the novelty and allowed gamers to try the latest technology and enjoy the unrivalled (back then) performance themselves at Quakecon.
The alleged demonstration of the next-generation graphics cards means that the new boards are in production and that the company is gearing up for the launch of the graphics cards. Another claim in AMD's official blogs earlier this month says that ATI's DirectX 11-supporting graphics boards will be available when Microsoft ships its Windows 7, which may mean that the launch is scheduled to take place before the 22nd of October.
"AMD has been working hard to support DirectX 11, so there are plans to make native DirectX 11 hardware from AMD in its ATI Radeon GPUs available when Windows 7 is released," the statement reads.
ATI demonstrated its first DirectX 11 graphics processors at Computex Taipei 2009 in early June, however, it did not outline any actual timeframes for introduction. The general expectation is that ATI plans to release its chip known under "RV870" and "Evergreen" code-names that is produced using 40nm process technology this Fall.

Progress made on West Fork Complex
Firefighting has cost $6.5 million
SOUTH FORK — For the second day in a row, firefighters faced lighter winds on the West Fork Complex fire.
And while no containment has been established on the complex that includes the 54,714-acre West Fork Fire above town or on the 25,236-acre Papoose Fire southwest of Creede, no structures have been lost.
Wednesday firefighters and aircraft battled the northwest corner of the Papoose where the fire threatens summer homes and guest ranches.
"That was the most critical area," said Mark De Gregorio, a fire information officer.
Lightning sparked the Papoose June 19, almost two weeks after the West Fork blaze, and roared through the headwaters of the Rio Grande with an assist from heavy winds and large swaths of beetle-killed spruce trees.
Tuesday night the day shift of firefighters stayed over to assist with increased activity in the homes, which sit in eastern Hinsdale County.
Air tankers dropped retardant down the Crooked Creek drainage to protect structures Tuesday and yesterday helicopters focused on stopping flames near the top of the drainage.
They flew until later in the afternoon when dry thunderstorms forced them to ground.
Incident Commander Pete Blume said the potential for more thunderstorms posed a challenge.
"We have a chance for more starts from the lightning and anytime you get a thunderstorm set up over a fire, you get real strong, erratic winds," he said. "That's probably my biggest worry for the coming week."
Fire officials said Wednesday morning that the decrease in intensity had diminished the threat to Wolf Creek Ski Area from the 1,381-acre Windy Pass Fire.
Last week the winds helped push the fire up to within a quarter-mile of the top of the ski area.
So far, firefighting operations have cost $6.5 million.
Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia signed an order declaring a disaster emergency related to the fires for Hinsdale, Mineral and Rio Grande counties.
The move transfers $3 million to pay for fire suppression, response and recovery effort.

10 Best Gift Cards for Holiday Shopping
According to the National Retail Federation's annual holiday survey conducted by BIGresearch, holiday shoppers spent $27.8 billion on gift cards last year alone. That's an average of $155.43 per shopper, the highest amount since 2007 and up from $145.61 in 2010.
Roughly 80% of all holiday shoppers bought gift cards last year, compared with 77.3% in 2010, and they spent more with each purchase. The average gift card was worth $43.23, a slight increase from $41.48 the year before.
Little more than 46.4% who bought gift cards went with the explanation that the cards allow the recipient to choose exactly what he or she wants. That's a more thoughtful, but perhaps less truthful, than the answer that nearly 20% chose gift cards because they were more convenient.
Holiday shoppers who rebuke gift cards do so for many reasons. About 9% say they'd rather buy an item on sale than a gift card with a fixed price, while 17.4% say they're leery of suddenly subjecting their gift to fees and expiration dates that wouldn't exist if they just doled out cash. A full 26% of those of shoppers just find them impersonal no matter what they're wrapped in or bundled with.
They're also only as good as the retailer or restaurant issuing them. Gift card monitoring site ScripSmart assigns zero-to-100 scores to gift cards from retailers throughout the U.S. and has no qualms about separating the solid companies from those on shaky ground.
With its help, we came up with 10 gift cards that make it worth taking the easy way out:
American Express Gift Card
American Express (AXP) still charges a $4 purchase fee for the privilege of buying its gift cards, but that fee upfront spares users more fees down the road and opens up a ton of options for undecided shoppers. If buyers go with an e-card instead, even that $3 isn't an issue.
American Express dropped the expiration dates and monthly fees on its gift cards and allows users to replace lost, stolen or damaged cards for free and get full refunds for unused ones. It's like handing someone $25 to $3,000 at once -- or as much as $5,000 on two cards -- and sending them on a shopping spree anywhere in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that takes American Express (except cruise lines, casinos and ATMs).
There are a couple of problems, though. For one, you can't redeem them outside the United States, which means no mulled wine in Europe or high-end fleece purchases in the Himalayas. Holiday shoppers in Hawaii and Vermont are out of luck as well, as American Express doesn't deliver gift cards to either state and won't allow potential e-card buyers in those places to make those purchases. Also, even folks in states that allow the cards can't reload them or consolidate leftover amounts.

("BPX") for an order granting an exception to spacing requirements of Title 20 AAC 25.055 to provide for the drilling of the SB No. 2 delineation oil well. October 7, 1997 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. BPX submitted an application dated September 5, 1997 requesting exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling the SB No. 2 delineation oil well to a location in an undefined pool that is closer than 500 feet to a quarter section line. 2. Notice of opportunity for public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on September 18, 1997 pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540. 3. No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: 1. The BPX SB No. 2 well as proposed will be a deviated hole drilled from a surface location 4758' from the south line (FSL) and 1143' from the east line (FEL) of Section 21, T11N, R12E, Umiat Meridian (UM) to a proposed bottomhole location 4761' FSL and 520' FEL of Section 21, T11N, R12E, UM. 2. Affected owners Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Mobil Alaska E&P Inc., and Phillips Petroleum Company have been duly notified. 3. An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow drilling of this well. CONCLUSION: Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling of the SB No. 2 well as proposed will not result in waste nor jeopardize correlative rights.

As life-long coin enthusiasts we understand the tremendous effort and time that goes into building world class coin collections.

And to all participants in the PCGS Set Registry we say that we admire your passion and hope that you continue to enjoy your pursuit of numismatic excellence. Thanks for sharing your wonderful collections with us!
David Hall
Collectors Universe President, PCGS Founder
Best Classic Sets (1792 to 1964) of 2011
Simpson - Lincoln Cents Off-Metal Strikes, Circulation Strikes (1943-1944)
This is a phenomenal set of coins, put together by the super-collector "Simpson" (who also owns the finest set of U.S. Patterns, $10 Indians, Half Dimes, and so much more). Simpson's Off-Metal Lincoln Cent Set includes six coins that everyone dreams of owning: 1943 Bronze Cent, 1943-D Bronze Cent (UNIQUE!), 1943-S Bronze Cent, 1944 Steel Cent, 1944-D Steel Cent, and 1944-S Steel Cent. No one in numismatic history has ever completed this short, but very sweet, set.
Best Modern Sets of 2011
Greg Rivers (The Sugarfree Chaos Collection) - Silver, Gold & Platinum Eagle Complete Set, Circulation Strikes (1986-present)
The Sugarfree Chaos Collection of Silver, Gold and Platinum Eagles has 149 perfect coins in the set, despite some of the coins having very low populations in MS70. Greg has continued to update and upgrade the set, now with a set rating of 69.74! Several highlights are Greg's 1994 and 1996 $50 Mint State Gold Eagles as well as a 1997 $25 and 2002 $100 Mint State Platinum Eagles, all with a population of only one in MS70. This is the fourth year in a row this set has been number one.
Best Mint and Proof Sets of 2011
Best Colonials, Private Issues & Territorial Gold and Patterns Sets of 2011
Best Low Ball Sets of 2011
Pocket Piece - Copper, Nickel and Silver Type Set, Low Ball (1792-1964)
While most collectors try to find the BEST coins, this collector seeks the WORST examples of each type. Since last year, the owner added a Gobrecht Dollar (a "shameful" Proof-6, now the highest graded coin in this set). If you know of a low grade 1792 Half Disme, you have a ready customer, as that is the one and only coin needed to complete this set. One of the biggest complaints we hear from collectors of Low-Ball sets is the difficulty in finding poor condition coins that are gradeable. To achieve a GPA of 1.639 is incredible.
Best Everyman Sets of 2011
Mi¢hael Hassler, Master Sergeant, USAF, Retired Combat Air Crew Member & Vietnam Veteran - Everyman Indian Cents (1859-1909)
Everyman Sets are a relatively new category and include only circulated examples. A perfect score is a GPA of 58 (the highest grade assigned to circulated coins by PCGS). This set is 100% complete and 100% perfect. We know how difficult it is to complete sets like this...we've had customers tell us they would accept an AU58 grade on an otherwise Mint State coins (which, of course, we will not do). Mister Hassler has completed the very difficult mission of ferreting out the right coins. Congratulations.
Best Australian Sets of 2011
Caranett - Australian Edward VII Sovereigns, Circulation Strikes (1902-1910)
This set caught our eye because 1) it is complete, 2) the GPA is an impressive 63.517, 3) most of the coins are Top Pops, and 4) there are a lot of gold coins in this set (27 to be exact). We're very impressed.
Best Belgium Sets of 2011
Caranett - Belgium Gold 20 Francs Date Set, Circulation Strikes (1865-1882)
This is the second award for this impressive set. The Belgium 20 Franc has long been considered a bullion type coin, thus little attention was paid to collecting high grade examples. Every coin is a Top Pop except for the rare 1865, where only one coin is better.
Best Bermuda Sets of 2011
Howard S. Hornreich (Hornreich Collection) - Bermuda Hogge Set, Proof (1989-1990)
This modern set consists of eight gold coins, each with a mintage of only 500 pieces. This set caught our eye because the designs on the coin incorporate the rare Somers Island "Hogge" Money from Colonial times.
Best British Sets of 2011
Howard S. Hornreich (Hornreich Collection Elizabeth Type Gold with VIP Proof Sovereign) - British Gold Type Set, Elizabeth II (acc. 1952)
This is the fourth annual award for this remarkable collection of British gold coins bearing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth. Included are many Top Pop coins, plus the incredibly rare VIP sovereign of 1958.
Best Canadian Sets of 2011
Lantern Collection - Canadian Coins Complete Set, Circulation Strikes (1858-1952)
We've honored this set eight years in a row. A walk through this set is a journey through some of the most amazing Canadian coins ever assembled. Previous owners of some of the coins include Norweb, Pittman and Belzberg, all famous names in the Canadian market. The overall GPA is a remarkable 62.812.
Best Chinese Sets of 2011
GDH - Panda Silver 10 Yuan (1oz), Circulation Strikes (1989-present)
This is the fourth annual award for this set. We're impressed that most of the coins were "made" by the owner, instead of having been purchased. Panda coins have become one of the hottest areas in Chinese numismatics.
Best Cuban Sets of 2011
Virginia Transplant- Peso, Circulation Strikes (1915-1953)
A nice set of the silver-dollar sized coins from this Caribbean island nation. Top grade examples are hard-to-find, but there are several exceptional coins in this set. At 100% complete, this set has an overall GPA of 63.636.
Virginia Transplant - Complete Gold Peso Set, Circulation Strikes (1915-1916)
This is a complete set of gold coins from Cuba, including all denomination from 1 Peso to the large 20 Pesos. More than half of the coins are Top Pops. An impressive accomplishment.
Best French Sets of 2011
Caranett - French 20 Francs Gold Angel, Circulation Strikes (1871-1898)
A wonderful set of 20 Francs from the last part of the 19th century. Many of these coins are difficult to locate in any grade, so achieving 100% completion is difficult and doing so with an overall GPA of 64.925 is an even greater feat. Congratulations!
Best German Sets of 2011
Gray/Huber Dream Set - German States 3 Mark Type Set, Proof (1908-1918)
This is a virtually complete set of 3 Marks from the German States (we're told that this set will be completed at the 2011 ANA with the inclusion of the ultra-rare Saxony "Frederick the Wise"). The overall condition is simply amazing. Virtually every coin is either a Top Pop, an extreme rarity, or both. This is one of those sets that would be impossible to replicate, even with unlimited resources. As of this writing, the set is 91.67% complete and the overall GPA is 67.682.
Best Italian Set of 2011
Caranett - Italy 20 Lire, Circulation Strikes (1880-1897)
Caranett has award winning sets in other World gold categories, so a great set like this is not unexpected. As with Caranett's French 20 Francs set, this one is hard to complete and difficult to find in top grades. Here again, Caranett has accomplished 100% completion at a GPA level of 63.868. Most impressive!
Best Japanese Sets of 2011
Ted Wydeven, Sr. (T&JW) - Japanese Gold Denomination Set (1870-1932)
This is a complete denomination set of Japanese gold coins, ranging in denomination from the small 1 Yen to the larger 20 Yen. All of the coins are Gems and now three are Top Pops. This is the sixth year this set has been honored. 100% complete with a GPA of 63.868.
Best Mexican Sets of 2011
mission4906 - "Caballito" Peso Complete Variety Set, Circulation Strikes (1910-1914)
The "Caballito" Peso is a large silver coin issued by Mexico from 1910 to 1914. This set is complete, including the ray varieties of 1911 and the 1913 overdate. 100% complete with a GPA of 61.438.
Best Palestine Mandate Sets of 2011
Jerusalem Collection - Palestine Complete Set, Circulation Strikes (1927-1946)
(Note that the award includes the 4 sub-sets in this collection which are ranked #1.)
According to the owner, this set began almost 25 years ago. Today it is 91.53% complete and boasts an overall GPA of 63.129). A beautiful set with every coin imaged by "Trueview Photography."
Best Swiss Sets of 2011
The Sheffield Collection XIX - Swiss 1/2 Silver Franc, Circulation Strikes (1850-1967)
This is a remarkable, 100% complete collection in super-high grade. Many of the coins are Top Pops and quite a few are unique for their grade. Assembling this collection was quite an accomplishment and the owner is still active, so we expect it to be even better next year. Overall GPA: 65.237.
Best Multi-Country Sets of 2011
Caranett - British Commonwealth Sovereigns Complete Set Victoria (Jubilee Head ), Circulation Strikes (1887-1893)
Apart from being a complete set of Victorian sovereigns, this set deserves special recognition because of the difficulty in locating the Australian versions in Mint State. This year, the overall GPA is 61.810.
Best New Sets of 2011
Wineguy - Shield Two Cents Classic Set, Circulation Strikes (1864-1872)
Wineguy wins his first Gold Star award with this outstanding set of Two Cent pieces. A set rating of 67.17, with 6/10 of the coins at the top of the pop charts, it will be tough to improve. Congratulations.

Legends of the Trail - Page 4
Bjorklund nears the finish line of the 1981 Pikes Peak Marathon, setting a record that still stands.
Lynn BjorkLund
Would Give Back Her record
When Lynn Bjorklund was a kid, she had no female peers in her Los Alamos, New Mexico, neighborhood. She instead played with her older brothers and their friends. "I was littler and slower, always sprinting to keep up," she says. When she was about 12, Bjorklund's brothers joined the high- school cross-country team and their playtime pursuits homed in on running, "We'd run for hours on our local trails."
Though the 55-year-old blazed women's history all over tracks, roads and trails in the 1970s and '80s, she is probably best known for running 9:08.6 for 3K on the track in high school. This national high-school girls' record—set in 1975—still stands.
In 1981, Bjorklund made a deep mark on the trail-running world when she flew through Colorado's Pikes Peak Marathon fast enough to set both ascent and marathon speed records. Her marathon record of 4:15:18 is now 31 years old, and her ascent record of 2:33:31 was only just surpassed at the 2012 Pikes Peak Ascent by Kim Dobson's 2:24:58.
"I suppose my childhood had all the right factors, including pedestrian play at Los Alamos' altitude," explains Bjorklund when asked about what led to her standout day on Pikes. "As for that specific race, it was quite simple. I had trained more than ever."
"Let me stop here," she continues, "I trained too much. It made for one exceptional race, but I spiraled into years of chronic overuse injuries that took away my ability to run, as well as the joy of it." What ailed her after the 1981 Pikes Peak Marathon? "My ankle, my foot, my knee, nothing singular or specific. If I could replay race day, I'd give that record back in exchange for a life of healthy running. It wasn't worth it."
Despite this challenging historical relationship with trail running, Bjorklund remains enamored with the sport. "My body disallows every-day running, but I mix in other sports so that I can be as active as I want. I am fortunate that i can still participate in the occasional shorter-distance trail race." This fall, she placed second at New Mexico's Pajarito Trail Fest 15-miler. "I've fallen in love with triathlon, cross-country skiing, hiking and backpacking over the years. But if I could run more, it's perhaps all I would do."
Though her work took her out of her hometown for a while, she's now back in Los Alamos and working as a Santa Fe national Forest recreation manager. her work days are largely spent in the outdoors, "I help restore and maintain trails and plan events taking place in the forest, such as trail races."
She's still a fan of the mountain-running scene, too. Last summer, Bjorklund reached out to congratulate Dobson after her record ascent. Says Dobson, "Lynn is a legend. I began running on Pikes Peak in 2009, and am in perpetual awe of what she did. It's amazing that the mountain has now connected us."
Bjorklund offers up advice for female runners who are pushing their training and racing limits, "eat real food, enough of it. rest more. Keep your period. Train under a coach. Don't betray the long view for a single event. Train and race with enough caution so that you'll still be healthy in 20 years. Find your worth inside of you, not in something external like a record or someone's opinion of you."
— 1974 > Lynn Bjorklund wins the USA Track and Field Cross Country Championships for the first of two times.
— 1975 > Bjorklund runs a 9:08.6 for 3K at an international track meet in what's now the Ukraine. This national high-school girls' record still stands.
— 1976 > Bjorklund places seventh at the International Association of Athletics Federation World Cross Country Championships.
— 1981 > At age 24, Bjorklund wins the Pikes Peak Marathon in course-record time, also setting the (now-previous) ascent course record in the process.
— 1997 > On a backpacking trip in New Mexico, Bjorklund witnesses a small- plane crash and runs 18 miles to the trailhead to report the emergency. Her swift action is credited as lifesaving to the two injured and burned passengers.

The Minnesota weather has changed enough so that it is unlikely to get stung by a yellowjacket bee. The Piper women's soccer team hopes the same is true on the field as well. Hamline will take an 8-3-1 overall mark into a non-conference tilt against Wis-Superior (3-9 overall) at Paterson Field on Tuesday, October 10. Game time is 4:00 p.m.
The Pipers are coming off a 2-1 win over St. Mary's that lifted them into a tie for third place with Augsburg, St. Olaf and St. Thomas for the fourth and final playoff spot. Each team has 10 points on three wins and a tie. (Augsburg and St. Olaf have a game in hand on the Pipers and UST. They face each other Tuesday in Northfield.)
After Tuesday, the Pipers have just one more game at Paterson Field (Oct. 24 vs. St. Ben's.) They return to MIAC play Saturday at Carleton (6-3-3, 2-2- in MAC play heading into a Wednesday game with St. Mary's.)

PIEOUS (if you dont know what pious means, please look it up) came to me as a stroke of genius....or at least I thought the name was. Devotion to Pizza and sourcing/growing all the ingredients as well as the other handmade items we will sell will be our mission. Think of all the great tshirt slogans and signs i can make. or even the special, "Tonight's Devotion: Craig's meyer lemon pizza"It's going to be an eclectic space and since I am not going for VPN or solely to have a pizzeria, we're going to also make fresh fruit pies, cream pies, dairy fresh ice creams, incredible sandwiches on house smoked meats and house baked naturally risen sourdough, fresh salads, beer and wine (both from keg!), a morning espresso/coffee program with fresh baked pastries, of course we plan on pulling our fresh mozz too.I envision a creamy vanilla icecream, served with an excellent olive oil drizzle and a little nice salt...big as your face caramel rolls served with your coffee in the morning....pizza's so good that you'll want to eat them everyday! I really don't care how hard i am going to have to work to get it up and running and to keep it running....because it's my passion. I like serving people the food that i like to eat and i like to see their reactions. It's almost more enjoyable to me. But I do like to eat the food i make. I'm so damn picky that if i can make food that pleases me, i believe that i will be able to please the community that i am serving.Can't thank this community enough for being here.
I stopped by your place yesterday, no one home. It was around lunch time though. Looks like a good spot.
joshua, i love your attitude. the oven doesn't assure a good product,the person manning it does. your approach is refreshing.let the food talk!!
I'm going to try to have a "chefs garden" in front as you drive up, where the red tip photinias are planted. I really like the way a little cutting garden looks and hopefully will be able to provide some fresh cut ingredients....

Craig, yes, for sure....I'm just a bit tainted i guess, every time someone mentions Stefano Ferrara all i see is that gold encrusted(tiled) oven that Donatella put in her restaurant. You need a good oven....but it's only a piece of the puzzle.
The oven is important only to the extent that it will provide the temperature range you require for your desired style of pizza.
You need a good oven....but it's only a piece of the puzzle.
Pizza doesn't care where the heat comes from. It is only crucial for one style of pizza, Neapolitan, which requires extremely high and balanced heat. For the rest of the wide range of pizza styles, it can be managed with what you have.

First Night button based on banner from last year
SARANAC LAKE – The design of the admission button for this year's First Night Saranac Lake is based on a banner from last year's event, created by Hillary Ryan-Rusch for the Village Improvement Society of Saranac Lake.
People will need the buttons to be admitted to any of 12 First Night venues that will feature 22 performers this New Year's Eve. Every year, First Night Saranac Lake invites community organizations to create and paint banners, which are hung at venues throughout the village the night of the event.
The VIS, a nonprofit volunteer group founded in 1910, owns and maintains seven village parks, and plants and tends flowers throughout the village.
The First Night admission buttons will continue to cost $12 for those who purchase them before Dec. 31. On New Year's Eve, the price will go up to $15. Children age 12 and under are admitted free. Buttons will go on sale Nov. 29.
The all-volunteer First Night board's mission is to bring the community together to welcome in the new year with a family-oriented, alcohol-free celebration of the arts, followed by fireworks at midnight. The event is walkable, with nine of the 12 venues within a two-block-square area downtown and free shuttle buses leading to the other three venues.
First Night is also sponsoring a concert by Virginia acoustic duo The Honey Dewdrops on Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Left Bank Cafe, 36 Broadway. Tickets cost $12, and the event is a fundraiser to help pay for First Night. The Honey Dewdrops, consisting of married couple Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish, have performed several times in Saranac Lake, including at last year's First Night. They have developed local ties from working with Beehive Productions, which consists of married couple Jeff Oehler and Sue Bibeau of Saranac Lake.

Program Helps Former Inmates Find Employment
Employment is the No. 1 way to keep a convict from backsliding into a correctional facility.
That according to the National Institute of Corrections, which stated offenders receiving workforce development services have a 33 percent lower risk of recidivism. By reducing the risk of a convict going back to jail or prison, it lowers the cost of keeping them incarcerated for taxpayers. Also, it increases public safety.
This is why the Chautauqua County Jail in partnership with the county Office of Probation has started the Ready, Set, Work program. The Ready, Set, Work program is a 20-hour intensive program created by the National Institute of Correction offender workforce development specialists.
CodyAnne Weise, county employment and re-entry facilitator, said it is a 10-session program that takes place over 5 weeks. The Ready, Set, Work program has had three graduates and three more inmates will be finishing the workforce development process in May, said Weise.
"Two of the graduates are still incarcerated and they will be getting out in May," she said. "One has been released and is meeting with a career facilitator at the one-stop at Chautauqua Works."
Weise said the program goes over several aspects about being hired once an inmate is out of a correctional facility.
"We talk about interviews. We go through mock interviews. I bring in someone from the community, a fresh face," she said. "It is fun, real-life experience for them. The mock interview is taylormade for a position they would seek."
Weise said the program also covers career assessment to find a job to fit each individual, how to fill out a job application and how to deal with the question, "Have you committed a crime."
"There are a lot of legal issues they have to deal with. One is obtaining a copy of their rap sheet," she said. "Most (rap sheets) have mistakes on them. They need to make sure the information on it is accurate."
Weise said Ready, Set, Work also talks about job retention and on-the-job training. Also, once an inmate is out and not at work, the program discusses how to budget money and how to deal with barriers like addiction.
"We talk about networking and surrounding your life with people who have a positive influence," she said. "I talk about how they can even call me. I'm there to support them."
Weise said the Ready, Set, Work program is the first of its kind for the Chautauqua County Jail.
"Before it was all informal. This is the first time we have a full-time re-entry coordinator," she said.
This year the Chautauqua County Office of Probation was awarded the 200 percent of Poverty Alternatives to Incarceration grant through the Division of Criminal Justice Services. The project is directed by Philip Evans, senior probation officer, and Weise. Officer Evans has been working for the Chautauqua County Office of Probation for more than 20 years. Weise interned at the Chautauqua County Jail while attaining her master's degree in rehabilitation counseling and was hired this year through partnership with The Resource Center. Together they provide programs to inmates at the Chautauqua County Jail and will soon be offering programs to individuals sentenced to probation in a community setting.
For more information on the Ready, Set, Work program, information on hiring an ex-offender, or volunteering to conduct mock interviews, contact Weise at 224-0539.

Geneva/Nairobi, 11 February 2000 - Recognizing the importance of Russia to global environmental problems such as climate change and ozone depletion, as well as its need to improve environmental conditions which adversely affect millions of the country's citizens, the United Nations Environment Programme is strengthening its cooperation with the Russian Federation.
"UNEP is opening an office in Moscow to work more closely with the Russian environmental authorities who must address many of the environmental problems that this vitally important European country faces," said Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director. "We are committed to collaborating with the authorities and with civil society to seek solutions to both national and global environmental challenges".
According to Viktor Danilov-Danilyan, Chairman of the Russian State Environment Committee, 61 million Russians - almost half the country's population - live in environmentally dangerous conditions. More than 14 percent of Russia's territory is in poor environmental condition, and the air in 120 Russian cities is five times more toxic than acceptable levels as a result of inefficient factories.
UNEP already cooperates with Russia on many major environmental issues, for example through UNEP's Paris-based cleaner production programme and its Geneva-based chemicals programme. UNEP's Global Resources Information Database (GRID) has already established an office in Moscow, which will work closely with the soon-to- be-opened UNEP office in order to provide assistance with capacity-building activities.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by heavybag Plesantly Surprised These gloves exceeded my expectations. When you buy boxing gear from a general sporting goods store you generally end up with junk, however this was not the case. These gloves offer unreal support; honestly I would feel comfortable going hard on a sand bag without wraps for a short while. The gel does not make your punches feel weird, you still get solid contact. One thing I must note is that the hand compartment is SMALL (for the regular size). This works for me, but it will not work if you are a six-foot dude, it just won't fit you. I will check back in two months to discuss durability. January 15, 2013

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by theater01 A travel winner -- almost I love this style of jacket -- very forgiving and figure flattering. I also love the fabric which I find I can wear all year round when I'm traveling. It is perfect for cold hotel ballrooms and overly air-conditioned restaurants. However, the print material DOES show when you reverse to black, so it is not as versatile as some may think. I, however, am very satisfied. May 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by traildiva Great for travel I have this item in turquoise/tan/black and cobalt/white/black and they're all I need for a 7-10 day trip--day or night--just change the tank, pants, and print-to-black. It packs great, wrinkles shake out; machine washes/dries perfectly. September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Classy1 Good product for traveling Like that it is reversible can be worn lots of ways especially for traveling March 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Believe Voyager Knit Reversible Tank, Skirt and Jacket This outfit is beautiful--lots of people complimented me when I wore it. I love that it's reversible--so many options! May 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbara Great for Travel I bought this jacket with the matching reversible shell for an upcoming trip to Europe. The fit is perfect, and with exorbitant baggage fees now, the reversibility allows for fewer packed clothes in the suitcase. Multitasking clothing is the way to go! The only downside is the weight of the jacket...but I suppose the upside to that is that it demonstrates how well-made it is. For measurements, I am a size 14 with a 38DD bust and ordered the Medium jacket and the Large matching shell. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gailani Great Fit! Bought this for a trip to Germany - wanted something loose and comfy and this fit the bill. August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mi2l84t Perfect Who can argue with 2 jackets for the price of one? Very well-made and exactly as the picture on the website. The arms are a bit less roomy than I had expected, but these make it easy to "zhuzh" up the sleeves to elbow- length. It's also a bit weightier than I had expected...which is a good thing, as I live up North, and this will be great for the cooler weather we experience. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Berne Voyager Knit Reversible Drape-Front Jacket Well constructed. I'm certain I will get a lot of good use from this jacket. October 2, 2014

Hi all
Just to let yous know - Inky will be back at Forest for monthly Open Mics and workshops from the start of October. We're in the Event Book an' all - but just to let the bb know too...
We'll be running the Open Mic on the evening of the FIRST Tuesday of the month (not the fourth, as before), apart from October, because it was booked, so we're going for the first Thursday, which is Thursday 3rd October, which is also National Poetry Day, so that's good.
Speakeasy/Readeasy workshops will be on the third Sunday of the month, 2 - 5pm. If that's cool. Is that cool? Someone tell if that's not cool. Readeasy will be upstairs in the cafe (just taking up a table, no noise). Speakeasy (they run on alternate months) would very much like to use the basement. If that's. Cool.
Let me know if anyone sees probs with this.
