Our last weekend here was a busy one, spent saying goodbye to old friends and family over in Oshawa, across to Milton, back over to Whitby and finally, heads spinning, back to Toronto.
On Sunday we planned a goodbye-whirlwind-tour of the city on a Double-Decker bus. Smiling like hapless tourists with camera in tow, we arrived on time for a bright and early 8:30AM start, ready to explore Hogtown. Except, that the bus didn't actually arrive until 10:30AM and it wasn't even a Double-decker bus, but a Single-Decker trolley. Apparently, Toronto sightseeing tours aren't that popular early on a Sunday morning. In fact, there was no one on it except us, the driver, and the tour guide who was amused that she was giving a tour of Toronto to Torontonians.
Despite our shaky start we did manage to take a fair number of pictures, trying somehow, to capture the memories and magic of everything that Toronto is.
These pictures that follow will document the beginnings of our excellent adventure. We hope you enjoy them!

It might have been scripted by Woody Allen. On a clear winter evening in 2007, Jude Redmond left his family a self-deprecating suicide note, bought two bottles of wine in a "buy-one-get-one-free" promotion, drank them watching the sun set from a 90-ft high clifftop near Brighton, then threw himself off. But instead of dying when he hit the concrete path below, he "bounced" - waking up three months later with two broken legs and a fractured hip.
For Redmond, 39, who had spent the previous seven years caring for his frail parents while claiming income support and enduring other relatives' taunts of "scrounger", the prospect of returning to his old life was too grim to contemplate. His immediate instinct was to try to kill himself again.
Yet, 19 months on, he has undergone something of a creative epiphany. Far from relapsing into depression and alcoholism, he is about to publish Bounce, a blackly comic memoir of his near-death experience.
"I wasn't in a coma, but I have no memories of the first three months after jumping," he says. "When I came to, my first reaction was, 'I'm such a failure I can't even get this right. But later I thought, 'I'm still here for whatever stupid reason. I need to make something of my life.'"
So he did. Bounce, which runs to 362 pages, is an unsentimental, occasionally scabrous account of the circumstances leading to his suicide bid, and his subsequent emotional rebirth.
Despite being courted by a local small publisher, Redmond opted to self-publish so he could retain copyright, paying a contract printer £3,500 for an initial run of 1,000. To fund the book he borrowed £500 from a credit union, saved £1,000 from his disability living allowance, and raised the rest by selling shares to his friends. His inspiration was the trend for unsigned bands to finance record releases through fan sponsorship.
Bounce is even being serialised. A fortnightly freesheet, the Kemptown Rag, has been running extracts for the past six months, and all Redmond now wants is "a proper publishing deal".
So does he think fate helped blunt his fall? "Nah. I'm a crap diver, and the wind was blowing the wrong way."

I like a mix of all decorations, old and new. That way, there's something different to look for throughout the tree. Every branch is unique!
I forgot to mention a reeindeer my daughter made in kindergarden. :rudolph:
I'm going to be posting pictures soon of my tree this year, but one decoration I am absolutely in LOVE with is this Original Popcorn On A String that I found online last season. It brings out this old-fashioned/traditional feeling and it looks great! It's wax-coated so it stays preserved, and they are the biggest kernels of popcorn I've ever seen! I'm never stringing popcorn again!!! They have original plain garland and then also Jingle Berry which looks cute but I didn't buy those (YET)
all the vintage hallmark ornaments that i had since i was a child(i still got them but mom/dad has them to put on their tree).
I tend to prefer collectibles, or personalized ornaments. I've never liked generic balls and whatnot. My preference is to have a more "personalized" tree, and not one that you might see in a store somewhere.
I still like all the old looking/vintage ornaments :christmastree:
i like angels on top of the christmas tree but this year we have a snowflake that lights up! my favorite ornament is actually a candy i love hanging candy canes on the tree! i do put different flavors but i prefer the good ol' peppermint ones :elf3:
I don't have to have a particular color on my tree, but this is my favorite ornament:

March 12, 2010
By Brian Davis, Assistant Media Relations Director
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The 2010 Tennessee Lady Vol softball recruiting class has been named the No. 1 class in the nation according to a Friday release by ESPN RISE. Made up of six student-athletes, including the No. 2 national recruit Madison Shipman, the Lady Vols led a contingent that included four Pacific 10 schools, three Southeastern Conference programs, two schools from the Big 12 and a member of the Big 10.
"Karen (co-head coach Weekly) and I are extremely pleased with this recruiting class," Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. "We knew all along that it was a special group of student-athletes. We strive for a combination of speed and power as well as strength in the circle. I believe we have achieved these goals with this class. What is especially exciting is that all but four of our current roster is sophomores or freshmen, and we have a lot of very young athletes competing at a very high level right now."
ESPN/RISE Recruiting Class Rankings
(credit for article below to Garland Cooper, ESPN RISE Softball Editor)
This is a smart recruiting class for Tennessee. Not only have they brought in six great softball players, but they all are overall athletes, most of them playing more than one sport. With that kind of athleticism, these players can come to the Lady Vol roster and provide flexibility and depth, which is an asset to any college coach.
Melissa Davin has rewritten the record books for Clovis East High School (Clovis, Calif.). In her junior year she batted .459 with a .776 slugging percentage. She is a two-time All-State and All-County player and a three-time All-League athlete. Davin has not only power, but also speed, and will be an asset to the Lady Vol lineup.
Tory Lewis plays three sports at Girls Preparatory School (Chattanooga, Tenn.). A true speedster, Lewis stole 22 bases in 23 attempts for her travel team, the Tennessee Fury. She also batted .466 with an on-base percentage of .502. With an impressive six state championship rings in three sports, Lewis is a pure athlete and will be a solid competitor for Tennessee.
Chelsea O'Connor hit .585 with 32 RBIs last year for Windsor High School (Windsor, Colo.). She is a two-time All-State and a four-time All League selection. Another deadly combination of speed, power, and athleticism, O'Connor will be able to make an immediate impact at Tennessee.
Ellen Renfroe represents the pitching in this 2010 class. What is important about Renfroe is that she is not only a pitcher, but also a hitter and an athlete who can excel in several positions. From Trinity Christian Academy in Jackson, Tenn., Renfroe led her team to their second consecutive state title last year. In her career, she has recorded a 0.36 ERA, 790 Ks and a 75-7 record.
Madison Shipman, out of Valencia High School (Valencia, Calif.), is one of the most highly recruited athletes in her class. A star shortstop and force at the plate, Shipman batted .411 last year for her high school squad. She also has played with and against some of the best competition in the nation. Her experience, her ability to hit for average and power, and her impressive defensive skills, will make her a top tier college athlete
Kourtny Thomas rounds out the recruiting class for the Lady Vols. The Houston County High School (Warner Robins, Ga.) infielder and catcher is a powerful hitter. Standing six feet tall, Thomas has an intimidating presence on the field and backs it up with consistency at the plate. She batted .307 and led her team to a district championship in 2009. A solid athlete, Thomas is also a basketball star for her high school.
The combination of speed and power is prominent in this class. They also have experience playing at a high level and competing against the best athletes in the country, which will obviously come in handy when the join Tennessee in the SEC.
Top Ten ESPN/RISE Recruiting Classes in 2010
1. Tennessee
2. Cal
3. Alabama
4. Florida
5. Texas A&M
7. Northwestern
9. Washington
10. Oklahoma
Top Five ESPN/RISE Recruits in 2010
1. Dallas Escobedo, P, Arizona State
2. Madison Shipman, SS, Tennessee
3. Jaclyn Traina, P, Alabama
4. Kourtney Salvarola, SS, USF
5. Nicole Morgan, Texas A&M


text: High school baseball and a check on undefeated Calais. They were playing in Lincoln today. Top of the first and Jeremy Beers of the Blue Devils steals 2nd and 3rd and then Joe Mitchell brings him in with a single. Lewis Francis hit a solo bomb in the 4th. Mattanawcook though ends the undefeated run today, winning 5-3. Both teams should be tough in the playoffs.

Spring 2014 style
I love spring. I love watching the trees come alive with buds popping out and flowers magically appearing. Every year it's a little different. And after the winter most of us had this year, spring was a welcome relief! I love watching each variety of tree produce it's own special flower, but I have my 2 favorites. The redbud tree is probably my favorite with the dogwood right behind it. Their flowers are lovely and I love watching the bees do their job with each.
They are always working!
Each season of blooms must end, but life continues forward.

Location-based mobile search: The place to be
Location-based mobile search trends are showing that there is a shift from purchasing goods online to using local search to track down goods on the high-street. Shoppers are asking themselves why buy online when I can have the item in-hand today? The revenue forecasts are large – Tech Crunch, estimate that the value of location-based services could be worth a staggering $12.7 Billion (£7.8 billion) by 2014.
The way users search is different when using a mobile than a PC and the results need to reflect that. With mobile search users more than likely wanting to be served local results, which search engines have adapted to; if you are looking for shoes then the shoe shops in your current location would be the logical result.
This means, for retailers, having a mobile presence is crucial; without one they risk not being found on mobile local searches. Many retailers are being cautious wanting to see clearer evidence that location based apps, or websites, can bring customers from their current location to their store. But, with the rise of smart-phone users coupled with consumers increasing use of location-based search there is a lot to miss out on.
So what does this mean for retailers?
Develop a mobile strategy
Mobile users are on the move and require different information than they do sitting at their desktop. Understanding your audience's needs is very important. By specifying users' goals and objectives you can define the strategy to take. This research will give your apps and mobile sites more relevance and thus user friendly. For mobile websites or apps to be successful they must get to grips with the context in which a user, on the move, requires information.
Develop a mobile version of your website
Mobile phones have small screens and can be slow to download data – sometimes a one-handed user experience means that finding key information quickly is paramount. Put simply users are not using mobile phone to "browse" but to "find".
Regular websites display awkwardly on mobile devices, they are graphically rich, content heavy and their layout makes them hard to read. Users find themselves having to zoom in to find information making it difficult to carry out simple tasks. So from a user perspective using a mobile designed website over a regular website is a far easier user-experience. It's also worth remembering that many mobile phone users pay to download data per KB so a speedy site is very important.
Another plus point with mobile websites is that they are not device dependant so they will work on any mobile device. This makes them a good place to start when developing a mobile strategy.
General mobile website tips:
- Conduct usability reviews with end-users
- Make sure you code validates – Alt-tags, for example, are very important
- Design mobile-friendly page layouts (No frames or tables)
- Avoid Flash or other scripting languages
- Create mobile CSS stylesheets
- Use only relevant content to mobile users
- Keep graphics to a minimum and size them correctly
- Keep interactivity to a minimum
Make sure your mobile website is mobile-optimised
Whilst having a mobile version of your website is a good start it is not enough; the site must be optimised for mobile. A mobile-optimised site maximizes your chances of hitting local search engines so your site needs to be WAP/XHTML compliant; content that is mobile-optimised is rewarded by search engines. To aid optimisation techniques can be adopted to make sure mobile search robots that hit your regular website are directed to your mobile site.
Some tips for optimising your website:
- Remove content that is unimportant, use only relevant content to mobile users
- Make content relevant and not too complex
- Make copy short and high-level – Users can always drill-down into your regular site if they need further detail
- Use the mobile meta-tag: MOBILEOPTIMIZED. This tells mobile browser not to shrink your page
Location-based apps in action
Location-based apps are already at large and proving successful in social networking. Because mobile phones are mobile and can be used whilst at events or locations, rather than stuck in doors on a desktop PC, they are perfect for social networking and gaming. In addition, the fact that Smartphone's have cameras installed makes them even more attractive to social networkers.
Camera technology is put to good use in the new photo sharing app Instagram which picked up 100K users in one week. For further reading Henry Elliss' series of blogs focus on the main players in the location-based app business – FourSquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, Yelp and SCVNGR.
To sum up
The interesting thing to watch out for is how much the local high-street will benefit from mobile technology and location-based search. If consumers really do switch from online stores to the immediacy of buying from the high-street then mobile phones will really changed the way we do things. Albeit, one we always used to know before the internet? Maybe the high-street isn't dying after-all!

This guide will assist you in using the database, Early American Newspapers, Series 1, 1690-1876, which offers hundreds of thousands of fully searchable issues from over 710 historical American newspapers. Focusing largely on the 18th and early 19th centuries, this online collection is based on Clarence S. Brigham's "History and Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690-1820" and other authoritative bibliographies. Providing unprecedented access to the nation's early periods, Early American Newspapers, Series 1 enables researchers to explore essential newspapers from 23 states and the District of Columbia.
Newspapers—the first draft of history
Early American newspapers, often printed by small-town printers, documented the daily life of hundreds of diverse American communities, supported different political parties and recorded both majority and minority views. In Early American Newspapers, users can limit searches to items that fall into such categories as news and opinion, election returns, letters, poetry, legislative information, prices, advertisements, matrimony notices and death notices. In addition, users can easily view, magnify, print and save items.
In cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society
The core of the collection consists of American Antiquarian Society (AAS) founder Isaiah Thomas' own collection of colonial and early national period newspapers and is supplemented by issues added by Thomas' successors at the AAS. Numerous other institutions and historical societies have contributed to the collection, including the Boston Athenaeum, the Connecticut Historical Society, the Connecticut State Library, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the libraries of universities such as Brown and Harvard and private collections. This joint effort has led to the creation of a historical newspaper collection of unparalleled breadth and depth.

KEY POINTSShould South Africa be thrown out of the Super 14?
South Africa's threat to defect to northern hemisphere competitions remains a bluff, says Australian Rugby Union (ARU) chief executive John O'Neill, as the Sanzar nations try to thrash out a Super rugby solution in Dublin this week.
After negotiations which O'Neill said had dragged on for almost a year, he will join New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) chief executive Steve Tew and South African officials on Friday in a bid to resolve the impasse which has left a proposed Super 15 in limbo.
Australia and New Zealand have discussed an alternative transtasman competition for 2011, while South Africa has said it intends to head north if its demands are not met.

I bought this yesterday, used it today, and will buy this FOREVER!..let me start by saying I am 47 yrs old, I have oily skin on my t zone, and suddenly with age, have become dry on my cheeks. I am blessed to not have any crazy wrinkles yet, but I do have pretty dark undereye circles. I have purchased over 25 high end to drugstore concealers, from cream, powder, peach tinted correctors etc and nothing has ever worked to conceal without looking like a too light cakey mess. This palette is superior, it has 2 very blendable concealer shades, a darker neutralizer cream, and a powder. For under $14 @ Target, this palette is a definite must buy.

The palette's super, super pigmented and the green is perfect for either under a foundation/concealer or applied alone with a light hand, but the concealers in general don't last very long. I loved using the powder on my eyelids; I instantly looked more awake after.
The only downside was that it broke me out - my acne immediately lessened after I stopped using it.

It's very pigmented. The green covers redness, the salmon covers the under eye area and the medium covers imperfections such as acne scars.
However, the staying power is diappointing. My under eye looks pretty bad less than an hour after application, dry and unnatural. It sits through fine lines and makes them so visible even if you don't have any (I'm 25).
Would not recommend.

This is my HG drugstore concealer. I've repurchased it many times. It's really creamy and I can use it all year by mixing both the shades. I love how it doesn't cling to dry patches like the maybelline fit me. I wish it came in a duo b/c I don't use the powder/sometimes the green. The price is kinda expensive for drugstore, but it's worth the try. I tend to use this w/o foundation & I love how it looks so natural. I use it under my eyes & on my spots. The staying power is average. Nothing special.

- the 'green' shade covers redness really well
- the 'salmon' shade covers dark circles really well
- lasts all day under my foundation
- sonia kashuk only available in target zzzzzz
- wish the colours came individually in tube form or something like that
Really love the pigmentation of the products although the powder is redundant.
Would appreciate if this was sold elsewhere besides target!!!!!!

I have used my concealer palette for fair skin for several months and am pleased with it. I generally use concealer for extra coverage over my red spots (due to rosacea), for dark undereye circles, and for darker spots/ hyperpigmentation on my skin. This palette is especially good for the red areas and fairly good on the darker spots, though on some I need to use a seperate lighter concealer. My main complaint is that no brush is included. Also, it is a bit expensive for a drugstore brand but I do expect it to last for some time. I think the consistency is perfect; it applies easily and stays put. The translucent powder really helps with this. For those who find it too cakey, I suggest using a moisturizer or primer before application. So, yes, I recommend this and I would purchase this product again.

I bought this almost 5 years ago and have had really bad cystic acne combined with ultra greasy skin. This thing works to cover up my many discolorations, scars and pimples! It lasts all day while matching my skin tone (medium warm toned). I do recommend it especially how it lasted me many years.

This product is good. It can look a little cakey but the green color in this palette cancels alllllll redness on my face! I am an nc30 and I have the medium shade, the darkest color is a little too dark but when I mix the two top colors together I get a perfect color. I would definitely buy again!

I am fair skinned & suffer from dark, bluish under eye circles. I heard about Sonia Kashuk's concealer on You Tube but was very leary to try since it cost under $10 (I purchased at Target). How good could a $10 concealer be? I was used to shelling out big bucks in my quest for perfection & have tried drug store concealers in the past only to find them to be very drying and the colors offered to be very fake looking. Well, I was shopping in Target last week & decided to go to the cosmetics area just to check out SK HAC. At first glance, it reminded me of LM's Secret Camouflage but the SK pallette appeared more moisturizing than LM's so I figured it was worth a try. Plus I knew I could always return it to Target if it failed me...like all the rest. When I tried SK HAC out I was surprised how well it works for a $10 concealer. Colors work well w/ my NC25 coloring (I bought the 07-Light palette), they blend well and they seem very pigmented. They can be too drying for under the eye but overall this is a good concealer. I gave it 3 lippies because I don't think it's great or HG but it is good. Probably best for normal to oily skin.

A Perfect Summer IPA! (Sponsored)
This week's beer of the week is a brand new IPA from a legendary craft brewery.
It's always exciting when a brewery that has been influencing the industry for years decides to roll out a new beer. In this case, we're talking about Stone's Go-To IPA. Released in March, the brewery set its sights on this beer becoming the perfect sessionable IPA, and that's exactly what they did.
Awesome piney, grapefruity bitterness comes out in this one as a result of a new hopping strategy of "hop-bursting"–adding all the hops at the END of the brewing process, rather than let the hop flavor develop in the beer over a long period of time.
At a low 4.5% ABV, and with an abundance of hoppiness, Stone's Go-To IPA is as good as it gets in the world of drinkable session IPAs. And, with Stone being such an advocate of drinking their beer when it's fresh, a half-priced growler at Half Time is the perfect way to enjoy this one.

-Shit, were you hurt? | I said from our window booth.
-Let me finish, | she said, sliding into the seat across from me. -When I pulled over to take
it off, I saw a picture of crumpled cars beside a story about insurance rates. Naturally, | she said
with a huff, putting her carryall and jacket next to the wall, -I had to find a place to park and
walk here. |
-Naturally. | I nodded at the manila envelope sticking out of her cloth bag. -What puzzle
have you got for me today? |
Finding nothing in my tone or expression that I could be convicted of, Bonnie opened the
envelope; handing me the pages she mouthed, -Latté, please, | toward Bréta, when she turned to
face our table. Then back to me, -There are two scenes. The first is the opening to my screenplay
so far, and the second is a continuation of the last scene you read. They don't appear back to

-Got it. |

COVINGTON (AP) — Police say a man is believed to have shot himself to death after firing numerous shots inside and outside of a law office in Covington.
The man's identity hasn't been released. Acting Covington Police Chief Jack West says police began receiving numerous emergency calls about 1:15 Tuesday afternoon about a man standing in a parking lot and firing a weapon.
The man eventually went into a law office where more shots were fired.
Police entered, rescuing one office employee who had hidden as the shots were fired. West says the body of the shooter was found inside.
The motive for the shooting was unknown.
West said at least 20 and as many as 80 rounds were fired. Police have recovered two .22-caliber handguns.

Your position seems to be that it's a toy to them, but a toy they seem to be absolutely unconcerned with enjoying to the fullest (by winning a SB). Again, why bother?

Not a chance! Get a Red Ryder
Seriously though, the .35Rem is a great caliber for most any game here in N. America!
I just picked up a used Marlin 336 CS in 35 Rem, spur-of-the-moment purchase. I was wondering if this a good caliber for deer hunting and if so what factory ammo would be a good choice? Thanks, RP
God, please help me! My brain is telling me I need another lever action Marlin.

The federal ammo clocked 2045 fps out of my 35 remmy. Never killed any thing with that ammo. Shoots real well out my rifle. Midway usa always had some in stock. Never could get my hands on any Remington ammo. I'd stay away from Hornandy ammo caued my rifle to jam up all the time. Was real accurate though. The best ammo will be the stuff you make yourself.
Check Cheaper then dirt for Remington 200 Grain Core-lokt. Great for deer or what ever else you find in the woods.

Howdy RLPMD,
You are now the lucky owner of a great rifle! The 35 Remington is thought of by many as one of the all time great deer cartridges ever made. It's not a speed demon or super powerhouse but within it's limits, it gets the job done as well or better than almost anything out there. Great rifle for woods hunting. It handles quick as lightning and really smacks a deer or hog. The ammo of choice for most and the one that has stood the test of time for decades is the Remington core lokt 200 grain round nose ammo.
Somewhere on here there was a post a while back about some serious penetration/performance testing done with the 35 remington and various bullets. It's a pretty long read but well worth it. I did a quick look but don't remember where it is. Perhaps someone else here will point it out to you.
By the way, WELCOME TO MARLIN OWNERS!!!
Thoughts on Remlins: The day I walk into a sporting goods and honestly mistake a Remlin gun for a JM gun, THAT will be the day I think about buying one. Until then, they can keep 'em.
Words to live by: Just because something is primitive, doesn't mean it has to be crude. Just because something is custom, doesn't mean it's quality.
Nov. 30, 2010 5:22PM. Dropped where she stood. Approx. 85 yds. Guess which rifle. Hint; It's born date was 1986.

My first deer rifle was a 336rc .35 rem made in '55
I was young and wanted a levergun, win94, or a 336 in .30/30..
A friend of mine inheritted a gun collection from his grandpa and sold me the .35 for $100..
Even through in all his old ammo along with it..
I had never even heard of a .35!!!
I still have it to this day!!!
Harvested many a deer with that old rifle!!!
My favorite factory load is remington 200 grain core-lokts.
Favorite reload slug is the speer 180 grain soft point.
Extremely accurate, good knock down on deer!!!
It won't let you down!!!

A 336CS in .35Rem was my first deer rifle 24yrs ago. I'm still using it... it gets the job DONE
Stick with 200gr if yer using factory ammo. Federal, Remington, Winchester, Hornady all work. Just experiment and see what works best in your rifle
Team 35 Member #3
This is a joke, right? We all know that the 35 Remington is incapable of killing deer, only shooting a 200 gr bullet at 2050 fps, as modern deer take bullets in excess of 3000 fps to penetrate their armor-like hides.Originally Posted by RLPMD
Now, if this is indeed a serious inquiry, there is a tone of information on the site, including information on the 200 gr Remington Core-Lokt ammo, which is some of the best standard info for deer hunting.

Haircut for lenders, close shave for NathanElizabeth Knight
Published: June 20 2013 - 3:00AM
Nathan Tinkler's main financial backers, including Farallon Management, have cashed in their chips and taken his biggest asset, the 19 per cent stake in coalminer Whitehaven.
The ''purchase'' price of $2.96 a share represents the floor price agreement between the parties and is a far cry from Whitehaven's trading price of about $2.10. It suggests Farallon and the others were forced to take a haircut on their loan to Tinkler.
The big question is whether this deal will be enough to allow Tinkler to fight another day.
Sources close to the coalmining entrepreneur say he walked away ahead from the Whitehaven share sale but that he still owed money to those that helped him finance the Whitehaven deal, including Farallon and Noonday Asset Management. How such a strange deal between borrower and lender could have been structured this way is an imponderable.
It has been previously reported that Tinkler owes his backers, who also include Credit Suisse and Kuok Group, $700 million. Tinkler will neither confirm nor deny this figure.
It has been clear this would happen for some time, as Tinkler was under water on his Whitehaven stake and has been in a desperate struggle to repay debt in other parts of his crumbling empire.
From his attempts to sell mega-houses to horse studs, Tinkler has been in a race to stay ahead of his creditors for more than a year. One of his more expensive follies was thoroughbred stud Patinack Farm, which boasted 1000 horses and several properties. It remains on the market, with expectations the proceeds might not come close to the book price of $100 million. It is held as part of a family trust controlled by Tinkler's wife.
The future of Tinker-owned sporting clubs - the Newcastle Knights and Jets - is unknown but Tinkler, who now resides in Singapore, is said to be committed to retaining his interest in both.
In March the folks from Blackwood Corp did manage to tackle Tinkler, who had welshed on a deal to buy a stake in that company. Earlier this month Blackwood struck a deal with Tinkler that he pay it $12 million in 11 days. This may explain some of the timing of Wednesday's share sale - desperation.
The word from the Tinkler camp is that this payment to Blackwood will be made by June 30, with change left over.
Tinkler is keen to project that he is in command of his finances. But, realistically, the Whitehaven shareholding has been controlled by his financiers since the share price moved below $2.96.
It was only a matter of time before the lenders would formalise their position as major shareholders in Whitehaven. It is a move that has been characterised by Tinkler as emotional and difficult but will come as a major relief for Whitehaven's board and management, who have experienced no end of grief with Tinkler.
He attempted to oust Whitehaven directors at its 2012 annual meeting but did not gain the support of major institutional shareholders, nor (on a reading of the votes) even Farallon, which already had a 5 per cent stake in the coalminer.
Tinkler's holding presence on the Whitehaven register had been putting downward pressure on the company's share price as the market factored it in as overhang (that is, for sale).
Whitehaven now has clear air around corporate governance but there must be questions about whether the new shareholders are in for the medium to long term.
Broker notes put out this week followed the line that the resolution of the Tinkler shareholding position would be a positive for Whitehaven.
But the bottom line for Whitehaven, like all other coal producers, is that the price of the commodity has tumbled this year and as yet is showing no real signs of recovery.
Farallon said it believed the Whitehaven share price did not reflect the value of the company and it looked forward to growth in shareholder value over time.
It said nothing about looking forward to future dealings with Tinkler. Presumably they will not become strangers to each other given money is still owed.

There were a whole bunch of tables but they were all half full already so I didn't know where to sit. Luckily for me, my wife is not as shy as I can be, cause soon we were sitting at a table with a few locals, drinking 'pivo' and 'vino' and having a good time, doing sign language and pictures-on-paper talk!! (our Czech vocab was only up to about 15 words...)
A group of musicians sat at the next table, eyes flashing at the case holding my mandolin. 'Charlie' finally came over to see what I had and was excited because as I gathered, their's was a Bluegrass Band!! I understood this word, but everything else was Czech... I couldn't believe it, a bluegrass band in Kutna Hora!?!
Next thing I knew, they were asking me to play with them down the street somewhere. I couldn't wait to hear them, so I followed them as they tried to find somewhere to setup and play a few tunes. (We couldn't play at the pub cause another band was presently doing a set...) We found a place in the square next to a big statue and out came guitar, banjo, two mandolins and an upright bass! We exchanged notes and chords to ensure the proper tuning and then, Charlie announced the first song! (The only English he had yet to utter)..."Footprints in the Snow...Bill Monroe."(Czech accent) A little nod with a smile...and then, bang! They slammed into the song like it was in their blood. I was blown away by their powerful versions of this and other traditional bluegrass songs. All sung in (almost) perfect English, harmonies and everything. I had several opportunities to play with them and it was so much fun but I had to get back to rescue Katrinka from the local-boys at the bar! She was very happy to see me when I returned!
All night, we sat and drank pivo (giving cheers of 'Nazdravi!') with these folks and eventually, Charlie found us an interpretor and finally, we could talk and share our excitement over the music which we shared! They found it as strange to see me there with my mandolin as I found it to discover them playing bluegrass! We were treated so nicely by all of these people and we found that bars here are much different places than at home. They let loose and had fun together until closing time and one old guy gave us gifts of handmade ceramics. Katrinka was dragged out to dance by the local girls while they sang with the band (who by now, were off stage and on the tables...) No one was rude or stupid or ignorant. It was just a whole lot of fun.
Kutna Hora is a small town built in the 1300's during a silver mining boom. It is perched on a hill above a picturesque green valley with a little stream running through it. Remarkable is the Gothic Cathedral of St. Barbara, the miners saint. But, absolutely crazy is the Ossuary in Sedlec (15min walk from Kutna Hora). Inside this tall and crooked old church lie the bones of 40,000 people! But wait, it gets crazier!!! They are all on display in the form of church-decore including chandeliers, pillars, crucifixes and 4 HUGE pyramids of stacked bones and skulls!!! Real skulls! Very weird!
A few days later, we were in Brno. It is 200 Km southeast of Prague. Here, we visited Dan and Michael, a close friend's we relatives. We went on several day hikes and trips in areas surrounding Brno. Most notable were our hikes through the Moravsky Kras area, a forest full of caves, chasms and canyons... The big thing to see there is the Macocha Abyss, a huge abyss connected to several caves full of gorgeous formations which we paid to walk through, into the abyss. It was breathtaking. Like being deep in the mouth of a dormant volcano, the abyss was alive with lush, green plants turning the suns golden rays to colors of lime. After a boat ride through the rest of the flooded caves, we also saw the abyss from above and then walked 6km to Sloup to catch a bus back to Brno.
In an attempt to out-do our 'Bones-in the-Basement' experience in Kutna Hora, Michael took us to visit the 'Krypta" in the basement of Brno's Capucine Monastery (1651) where, on display are the intact mummies of monks and local leaders of the 17th and 18th century. Coffin-lids have been replaced with )glass!) so you can take a VERY close look at dry, dusty bones and crusty eye-sockets draped in leathery blankets of crispy skin! One room had about 25 monks simply laid to rest on the sandy floor. It was surreal, absolutely crazy!! Michael is a typical young man who sleeps way too much and ever since, I have referred to his bedroom as 'The Kryptia'. We both seem to get a laugh out of that...

holiday, with thin trading volume the main feature as oil prices
felt pressure from concerns about the unresolved U.S. budget
ahead of looming mandated tax hikes and spending cuts.
U.S. February crude fell 5 cents, or 0.06 percent, to
settle at $88.61 a barrel, having traded from $88.20 to $88.86.

text: So I have a used 2003 wrx with 91000 miles. Since I bought it the gas mileage hasnt been great (~19MPG). I changed engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, fuel filter, PCV valve and used seafoam along with lucas fuel injector cleaner. Nothing seems to help. I do from time to time get a P0420 code (cat converter). The car has a TBE with one stock cat on there where the O2 sensor goes. Also has a turboxs BOV. I am really confused and out of ideas. Only other thing I can think of is the wide-band O2 sensor. Although apart from the poor gas mileage the car runs great.

Conrad Black: America's Prospects After the Election DebacleRoundup: Historians' Take
Conrad Black is the author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom, Richard M. Nixon: A Life in Full, and, just released, A Matter of Principle. He can be reached at email@example.com.
The United States has endured a dumbed-down, hideously expensive election that retained gridlock and showcased the modern enfeeblement of its political process. The only previous time the U.S. had three consecutive two-term presidents, they were the principal authors of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Monroe Doctrine. Now, 192 years later, a less accomplished trio has taken America's current-account deficits from $80 billion to over $400 billion under Bill Clinton, on to $800 billion under George W. Bush, where it has generally held under Barack Obama. Accumulated federal gross debt had accumulated to $6 trillion in the 216 years of American history prior to Bill Clinton, moved up to $10 trillion after George W. Bush, and has burst out like the Incredible Hulk under Barack Obama, to $16 trillion just four years later.
When George Washington handed over command of the Continental Army in 1783, and when he convened the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and again when he retired as president in 1797, he enjoined the legislators and statesmen of the future to create and preserve an indissoluble Union, ensure that it was adequately defended militarily, and give it a strong currency issued by a reliable treasury. The conservation of the Union appears to have been determined in Lincoln's time. And the U.S. now spends 44 percent of the world's entire military outlays but the wars that it has engaged in since Korea haven't accomplished much. (The pseudo-wars against poverty, crime, and drugs have been lost.) President George H. W. Bush very efficiently evicted Saddam Hussein from Kuwait, but President George W. Bush returned a decade later to remove him from Iraq. In the interim, President Clinton underreacted to the Khobar Towers, East African embassy, and USS Cole attacks, which helped incite the terrorist onslaughts on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001....

text: Sarcoidosis Make an Appointment Find a Doctor Ask a Question Reviewed by Nabeel Y. Hamzeh, MD, FCCP (April 01, 2012) Sarcoidosis is a disease that can affect any organ of the body. Very small clusters of inflammation or white cells, called granulomas, are seen in the organs affected with sarcoidosis. The lungs are the most common organs involved. These granulomas may clear up on their own, or cause permanent scarring. Causes The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but it is likely that there may be more than one cause. While we do not know sarcoidosis' cause, other important facts about its development are known. Sarcoidosis occurs more often in Caucasians of European descent and in African-Americans. About 10 to 40 out of every 100,000 people develop sarcoidosis. It is most common in young people between the ages of 20 and 40. Sarcoidosis is not contagious.

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."
Karl Marx
For the American Left, the November 2012 elections are a paradox. On one hand, these recent elections contained very little Left influence. The tenor of the campaigns was an ideological fight between Republicans and Democrats where the outside poles of the debate were a neo-liberal centrism on one hand (Democrats), versus a (white mans') revenge oriented extreme right, as characterized by the Republicans.
As for the Democrats, the inclusion of any of the themes of the 2011 Occupy movement were glaring in their absence. No new populist or progressive were put forward. The rhetoric was the same stuff of the last four years with a call for a new prosperity based on the opportunity offered through a healthy Wall Street and profitable employers. Inequality was not an issue, neither was the spiraling global environmental crisis, or rampant unemployment, or the likelihood of a state of permanent warfare.
On the other hand, the November 2012 elections were a clear peoples' victory. What we saw in November were large numbers of people, in many cases coming from the most down-trodden and marginalized tiers of society; union and non-union working class people, African Americans, Latino immigrants and workers, LGBT people; uniting at the ballot box for the purpose of rejecting a narrow right wing vision of a plutocratic white man's-only democracy.
A lot of Left individuals and Left leaning organizations can justifiably be proud of the roles they played in defeating the Republican Right. These are the people who went out, registered voters and got them to the polls, who went door to door and made a whole lot of phone calls. All about how important it was to defeat the Right.
Yet, in spite of all the good work done, the aspirations and visions of the Left remain outside the national political discourse.
Those of us on the Left, aware of our near irrelevance, point to the difficulties of moving a Left agenda in the United States. Here we are talking about difficulties stemming from a winner-take-all electoral structure and the history of "American Exceptionalism". All of these are valid points, but the one factor we generally don't analyze is ourselves, our organization(s), and our broad approaches to politics.
The paradox of the 2012 elections offers the Left an opportunity for the future. The demographics that defeated Romney and the Republicans includes within the same demographics that could make for a broad socialist and Left radical movement. The question remains however, are we on the Left capable organizing and growing such a movement?
Optimistically, I do believe we on the Left are capable of organizing a relevant Left movement. The big questions remain however: How do we do it? How do we organize such a movement?
Over the last few weeks, I've read a number of good articles coming from a number of intellectuals on the Left who are grappling with the question of building a relevant Left and how to do it. I don't want to speak for these authors. Instead, in the space below I've built links to these articles, and maybe a paragraph from me briefly describing the key points, as I see them.
Finally, to build a real and relevant socialist movement in the USA (and maybe the world) will put us on the Left outside our usual comfort zone. I can't imagine a powerful socialist movement existing without us first being willing to think 'outside our usual boxes', and second, without being willing to act in new ways based on our "out of box" thinking.
How the Left Can Become a True Political Force to be Reckoned With: Carl Davidson and Bill Fletcher Jr.
This is a must read piece. Fletcher and Davidson open with a critique of the American Left. It's a brutal but pretty honest critique. In a nutshell Left politics have fallen into essentially moral and ethical positions with activities focused towards protests. What's lacking according to Fletcher and Davidson is a political (as opposed to a moral agenda) agenda, and organization aimed at exerting Left political power.

Beyond November: Michael Hirsch and Jason Schulman
This is a pretty grim piece. The authors focus on the almost strangle-hold grip held on electoral politics by the Democratic and Republican parties, the difficult "candidate" based structure of American politics (which mitigates against a principled politics), and the legal obstacles put in place over the past half century aimed at maintaining the current state of affairs.
All the same, the authors do offer some openings and suggestions towards Left electoral politics. Specifically the authors point out that the Democratic Party is a de-centralized and amorphous organization, and one where Left candidates could have an impact through engaging in electoral primaries. The authors also discuss openings that might happen through fusion politics.

Ripoff Report
LowesBellevue, Washington USA
Lowes Return policies are messed up! Bellevue Washington
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am a general contractor and do most of my business with Lowes. I buy from Lowes all the time! I over buy the supplies I need in order to not have to make frequent trips to the store for more supplies. Many times, I return my supplies without a receipt and now I cannot make returns and have been put on a 'No return' List. Now I cannot do my returns to receive my money back - this is a complete rip-off!! Take me off this list! Why punish the small business for trying to make an income?

easy fix

Easy to fix with signing up with My Lowes Card you never need a receipt. This is not a credit card just a way of keeping all your purchases in one spot for easy access. The other is a contractor account. Both would easily solve the problem!

Hi there,
It appears that Lowe's is responding to this post. Please let me clarify a few details.
1) I have called the corporate line. The corporate line is of no help to the customers. I have sat on hold and left messages with no return calls. The only way I have gotten off the 'no return' list is by my professional relationship with another store manager. There is one store who allows me my returns with or without my receipt because I am there almost everyday.
2) I have only brought legitimate Lowes products back to Lowes (the sales staff scans it and it says its a Lowes product) and yet they won't allow it to be returned because of the 'no return' list.
3) Where is the customer service? I give my phone number every time I make a sale at the cash register - this logs my supplies with my phone number. When my phone number is pulled up, the products I am returning don't show - who's fault is it that Lowes products don't show up when I come back for a return? Who is right - Lowes or the customer? Shouldn't it be the customer?
4) I understand we live in a world of fraud - however when I have a very frequent purchasing history at Lowes, and it can be looked up by anyone at Corporate, shouldn't there be SOME exceptions to this 'no return' list instead of a blanket you're on the 'fraud' list because of my returns? Why hurt the small business?
5) I can go to anywhere - like Home Depot and not have to deal with this. I have returned MANY items without one single issue from Home Depot. I have not been refused for a return at Home Depot, with or without a receipt.
6) If I am unable to count on returns from Lowes, then I will need to change my warranty for my customers: If I buy a product from Lowes, and install it at a project for my customer, I warranty the work. If there becomes an issue with the product due to manufacturer flaw and the product needs to be replaced, and three months later I bring the product back for replacement, and have NO receipt, are you going to honor that return?!?!? Do you not see that a no-return policy hurts businesses and customers!
I really think a phone call from Lowes to address this issue is necessary and good customer service instead of this form of communication.
Thank you.

You sir are on a no return list for 2 very important reasons.
1. You have made a over abundance of returns WITHOUT a reciept.
2. The amount of your returns has exceeded a flat cap amount. This means you have done more then most ppl do on returns. I understand that you are a business and have returns from time to time.
Without a reciept, which is a contract of sale, there is no proof that you purchased the product from Lowes. As you have been returning product WITHOUT a reciept, to them it looks like fraud. They dont know if you stole the product from one store and are useing the system to return it to Lowes. Lowes HAS to protect themselves from customers who are out to screw or steal from Lowes. Its sad but Lowes evidently feels that you fit the profile of someone who is ACTIVLY commiting fraud.
You can resolve this two ways. First DO NOT DO A RETURN WITHOUT A RECEIPT. Second... Call Lowes customer care line and plead your case. DO NOT BE A JACKASS ON THE PHONE!!!!!! You start acting a fool and you will NEVER be removed from this list. FYI every major business has this type of list. Act like a TRUE business professional. You start treating that person who you are talking with asking them to do you a favor like they are less then human or you are better then them, you will be closed down.
Now I know this is a rageing inconvenece for you but try and take the problem and look at it from NOT YOUR VIEWPOINT!! Lowes is a business. Which is VERY VERY straight forward. They have products you need. You choose which products you want and pay for it. End of story. ANY RETURNS ARE A COURTESY!! There is no law that states you can have a refund. You have been abusing the system and they longer wish to allow you to continue to do so.
So in conclusion, just because you have purchased something doesnt mean you have the right to return it without a receipt. A receipt shows current ownership of said products. Just make a copy of your original or ask the clerk behind the register to print you a spare copy so you can do returns.

You are on the no return list Because
A: The way you do business costs them the profit on your transactions. Returns are expensive!
B: You pattern of returns sugests fraud. I doubt you are comitting fraud but it may look like this: Buy from the competition cheaper and return the cheap product as Lowes more expensive product. Easy to do with wood and such

Ice Tools & Buckets
From perfect spheres that come from state-of-the-art silicone molds to crushed ice from a machine, it pays to have access to the right kind of ice. Even if you tend to rely on the standard cubes that come out of your freezer's ice maker, Williams-Sonoma's ice tools may give you a new outlook on this seemingly mundane element of beverage prep. If you've never used different ice tools at home before, you may be amazed by the degree to which an ice bucket or shaped ice mold can add a sense of sophisticated fun to your beverage presentation.
If you like throwing parties or even just entertaining a couple of friends every now and then, shaped ice molds should definitely be part of your bar-tool collection. We offer ice molds in novelty shapes and in practical silhouettes that allow you to chill a drink without watering it down. If you or someone you love is a serious whiskey drinker, you may be aware of the problem of balancing the desire for a chilled drink with the necessity of avoiding flavor dilution. This has long prevented whiskey drinkers from putting ice in their drinks, opting instead for chilling in a cocktail shaker. However, with our ice shapes, which include spheres and large cubes, you can serve drinks on the rocks with confidence. Large ice shapes melt slowly and evenly, allowing the drinker to take his time and enjoy pure flavor at a chilled temperature.
You can store these shaped cubes in one of our ice buckets, which are available in a range of different styles and sizes. From lovely faceted crystal to double-walled stainless-steel, we offer a variety of choices to suit any occasion. Pair your ice bucket with a set of ice tongs or a scoop to allow your guests to serve themselves or to facilitate a bar setup in a part of your house that doesn't have easy access to a freezer, such as an outdoor dining area.
From using ice molds to create interesting shapes for your drinks to having an ice bucket on hand for entertaining versatility, this product category is full of excellent ways to keep your life easy and fun, especially when you're hosting friends or family. When you use them for formal gatherings that call for traditional elegance or relaxed family nights that you want to make a little more memorable, ice tools can be a surprising gateway to new possibilities.

There is scant doubt the chicken wars will not depart from our shores within the coming months. Millions of people are determined to eat chicken, eat chicken and halt the spread of homosexual behavior. Experts report there is conclusive evidence that people who eat chicken every day are not prone to become gay or lesbian. Of course, there are those who believe to eat chicken is the first step on the road to hatred and bigotry against those who prefer a gay life.
A gentleman who was upset at Chicken-Fil-A decided it was time to put the rooster to sleep. He entered the Family Research Council headquarters and shouted his anger at their support of chicken rights. The gentleman shot a security guard who was in charge of protecting the chicken supply for those working at the Research Council. We are pleased to report the chickens are safe, only on man was wounded, and if you are gay, shed a tear for the chickens.

The Georgetown College strategic plan titled "Strategic Initiative Plan Georgetown College 1998-2003: Moving to Higher Ground" directed a study as to whether or not a campus-wide honor system should be initiated. An eighteen-month study that included the study of student survey data, faculty input, student focus groups, and study of the benefits of an honor system at comparable institutions concluded the need to develop a College-wide Honor System. The study indicated a need to develop an honor system that emphasizes faculty involvement, student participation, and administrative management focused upon consistency. As a result, this Honor System document was developed. The intention of the creators of the Georgetown College Honor System was that the Honor System would become an important tradition toward the maintenance of a truly scholarly environment that highlights the ideals of honor, responsibility, consistency, student/faculty involvement, and fairness. The Georgetown College Honor System was initiated during the fall semester 2000.
Georgetown College is "an innovative community of scholars developing ethical scholars committed to our heritage of Christian discernment." In a truly academic community, honor must be expected. Honor is an ideal that is evident in the lives of ethical scholars. Primarily, the function of the Honor System is to educate and instill a common purpose within the campus' student community. The Honor System is an educational tool to assist the process of teaching morality and ethics. The Honor system helps create an environment that will assist in the development of the whole person by insisting upon honorable traits and behavior. Further, the process assists in the establishment of precedent, consistency, and fairness with regard to questions of academic integrity. An effective honor system requires students and faculty to understand and abide by the system's expectations.
All students are expected to sign an understanding of the Honor System. Record of this understanding is kept on file in the Office of the Vice President for Student Life/Dean of Students. Further, an introduction to the Honor System will occur during the new student orientation program each year. Additional Honor System orientation programs will be scheduled as needed.
The strength of the Honor System is in the creation of an atmosphere in which students can act with individual responsibility. This includes the personal decision to act honorably and to not tolerate others who choose to violate the conditions of the Honor System. Therefore, an important aspect of the College's Honor System is that all students are expected to report violations of the Honor System by their peers. Faculty and Staff must also understand the spirit of the system and do everything possible to abide by the guidelines.

Thayer was born in 1849 into a prominent New England family. He studied art in Boston and with some success, painted animal portraits there and in New York before going on to study with Jean-Leon Gérôme in Paris. Upon returning to this country, his expressive portraits and idealised angels, goddesses, and Madonnas were quite popular, especially with his biggest patron, Albert Freer. With the death of his wife and two young sons, Thayer's work became more melancholy as he searched for the ideal of feminine innocence and sought to raise what he considered the lax the moral standards of the "Gilded Age" through his art. He attached his painting style to the "Cult of the Virgin" and was a leading exponent in American Symbolist movement. However by 1910, as allegorical and Symbolist painting lost favour, he drifted into obscurity, painting abstract landscapes until his death in 1921.
All of this is very interesting, of course, but ironically, the fact that Thayer is remembered today is the result of his shrewd, though eccentric, efforts to persuade the U.S. military to adopt a pattern of broken shapes to cover not only uniforms, but hardware as well, so that they would be more difficult targets for snipers and field artillery. But the turn-of-the-century war department was not interested. President Teddy Roosevelt put down his experiments saying, "They were of no more value than putting a raven in a coal scuttle and claiming he is concealed." As is so often the case with such things, it took time and a war to convince the army there might be some legitimacy in Thayer's theories. By the time the Yanks marched into France, his designs could be seen on many of the guns and tanks that accompanied them. However it took another fifty years before G.I.s began wearing camouflage in Viet Nam. Today, if you can't tell the good guys from the bad guys as your evening news covers the latest in Kosovo, you can blame Thayer. Everyone from the Russians to the KLA are now appropriately garbed in some derivative of this artist's pet brainchild.
