Here is this week's Tip for Smart Printing: Tip #1
Large documents and documents with images take time to print
… sometimes a really long time. Try to be patient!
Large documents may not necessarily have a lot of pages. Think about the digital storage size of the document. For example, an article that is a three page PDF document scanned at high resolution may be 3Mb (megabits) in size, whereas a standard 20 page PDF document might only be 300kb (kilobits) in size. Which one do you think will take longer to print?
Documents that are really large in storage size will naturally take a lot longer, so if you're printing a thesis with a lot of images be prepared for it to take several minutes to print. You might warn others who are waiting for their print jobs that your print out will take a while. We've had documents so large that it take one minute to print just one page–and they were 100+ pages long!
So please be patient with your print jobs.

GUIYANG, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- A 10-year-old boy miraculously survived a fall from the 20th floor of an apartment building in southwest China's Guizhou Province Monday and suffered only slight injuries after landing on a car roof, police and doctors said Tuesday.
Xiao Xiao (not his real name) fell out of an open window on the 20th floor of his home in Guoen Mansion in downtown Guiyang, the provincial capital, at around 8 a.m. Monday, said an officer with the Nanming District police station.
Fortunately, Xiao landed on a Citroen car, breaking its roof and back windshield. His head was cushioned by a pillow on the backseat.
"Video from the building's surveillance camera showed he climbed on to the window sill about 50 cm above the floor," said the officer, who only gave his surname as Shuai. "The window was open and it was raining outside."
Shuai assumed it was an accident rather than suicide, though an investigation was still under way.
Xiao was still under observation at the neurosurgery department of the People's Hospital in Guizhou. His parents were not available for an interview Tuesday.
Dr. Li Jianyang, who checked Xiao's injuries Monday, said he suffered a sub-arachnoid haemmorhage (bleeding on the brain), but his condition was stable. "No fractures were detected."
The Citroen owner, surnamed Du, lives in the same building. "It's great news the boy survived," he said. "The car can be fixed easily."
The building's property office manager Li Lun said his company would install safety railings to prevent further accidents.

Penn West Announces its Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2013 and 2013 Reserve Results
Mar 7, 2014
CALGARY, March 7, 2014 /CNW/ - PENN WEST PETROLEUM LTD. (TSX - PWT) (NYSE - PWE) ("PENN WEST" or the "COMPANY") is pleased to announce its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
Four months ago, we began discussing a new vision for Penn West. We promised focus on the Company's industry leading light-oil positions in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin; application of best-in-class operating practices; relentless cost control; and to de-lever the balance sheet to deliver shareholder value. We are pleased to say we are on plan.
We have instilled a value-first culture at Penn West in which we challenge the cost/benefit of every activity we engage in and question the profitability of every barrel we produce. We are ahead of our asset disposition plans to date, achieving better than planned realizations from a net operating income multiple perspective, and our organization is 35 percent smaller than the beginning of 2013. Our capital efficiency improvements continue as we realize game changing capital cost reductions across our key plays.
Our 2013 development capital totaled $816 million compared to a $900 million budget with more activity completed than planned. We are already at or within reach of our per well capital cost targets outlined in our long-term plan and will continue to drive efficiencies to further enhance returns and extend the economic longevity of our plays. These improvements were also a component of our strong finding and development ("F&D") cost performance in 2013. Inclusive of the change in future development costs, our proved plus probable F&D costs were $9.47 per boe (1) in 2013 with 76 percent of additions comprising oil and natural gas liquids. This compares to $25.50 per boe in 2012, a 63 percent improvement to an important capital investment indicator. Excluding the change in future development costs, the proved plus probable F&D cost was $17.17 per boe and is in line with our operated development capital cost target of $15 - $20 per boe in our long-term plan.
Another cornerstone of our business plan is to operate in a continuous and deliberate manner to drive cost efficiencies and predictable production performance. Our teams are already operating under these principles with the expectation that our production profile will shift as the effects of the front-end loaded programs of the past dissipate. In the Cardium, we have been running ahead of cost, time and performance expectations - including best-in-play drilling performance - and anticipate being able to advance drilling activities above our stated business plan in 2014 and future years within the planned capital allocations. With the testing of drilling and completion techniques to significantly reduce costs in the Slave Point and industry leading cost and well performance in the Viking, our organizational energy is being fueled by success. Waterflood programs across these assets, pivotal to sustainable performance, are proceeding as planned.
To date in 2014, we have benefited from stronger than planned commodity prices and a favorable currency climate; however, we remain conservative in our commodity outlook for the remainder of the year. Operating excellence and investment discipline will continue to be key organic levers while we progress through phase two of our asset divestiture strategy and deliver a laser focused portfolio and improve our balance sheet.
On March 6, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2014 dividend of $0.14 per share to be paid on April 15, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2014. Shareholders are advised that this dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
During 2013, significant cost reductions and cycle time improvements were realized with a continued focus on further reductions as we move through 2014. Compared to 2012, drilling and completion ("D&C") costs decreased by approximately 35 - 40 percent, notably in the Lodgepole and Crimson Lake areas. In the fourth quarter of 2013, development activities were concentrated in these two areas and we maintained momentum as we moved into the first quarter of 2014 with a four-rig program. Also in the fourth quarter, horizontal waterflood development began in the Willesden Green area with the initiation of one pilot project and the construction of another which began water injection in early 2014.
For 2014, we have allocated $270 million of development capital to the Cardium with further expansion of our planned EOR pilot work along with a focused development drilling program (67 net wells) as we continue to methodically increase our activity in the area, consistent with our five-year plan.
During 2013, we became an industry leader in the area due to significant D&C cost reductions and superior well performance. These cost savings were experienced in a short time frame with average D&C costs per well during the first half of the year of $1.2 million compared to approximately $850,000 per well in the second half; close to a 30 percent reduction. The results from our development programs, primarily in the Dodsland area, consistently exceeded both our own and competitors' type curves. We plan to continue to build on these successes in 2014, with $150 million budgeted for the area (104 net wells) as we leverage our existing infrastructure and complete a down-spaced development program. In 2014, we have plans to initiate the first and second phases of a waterflood pilot in the Avon Hills area with the third phase beginning in 2015.
Slave Point
In the Slave Point, our fourth quarter activities were focused on a selective drilling program in the Red Earth area and the initiation of a waterflood pilot in the Otter area. For 2014 we allocated $145 million to the Slave Point with a focus on completing a low-risk development drilling program in Sawn, Otter and Red Earth (21 net wells), continued expansion of the Otter waterflood pilot and the initiation of a waterflood pilot in Sawn.
On January 21, 2014 we announced a non-core asset disposition for expected proceeds of $175 million, expected to close in mid-March 2014. The assets to be disposed are primarily located in the central and southwestern parts of Alberta with associated production of approximately 6,700 boe per day weighted 58 percent to natural gas and 1,800 currently producing or suspended wellbores.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, we increased our development activity levels in the Cardium and Viking areas by reallocating capital to these plays. Cost reductions realized during 2013 on drilling and completion activities enabled us to expand our program.
Our reserves continue to reflect a high percentage of oil and liquids at 70 percent (2012 - 71 percent) and proved reserves continue to reflect a high percentage of developed reserves. Of total proved reserves, 75 percent were developed at December 31, 2013 (2012 - 78 percent). At December 31, 2013, total proved reserves as a percentage of proved plus probable reserves were 67 percent (2012 - 66 percent). In 2013, all of our reserves were evaluated or audited by Sproule Associates Limited ("SAL"), an independent, qualified engineering firm. Approximately 25 percent of total proved plus probable reserves were internally evaluated and then audited by SAL.
The reserves estimates have been calculated in compliance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). Under NI 51-101, proved reserves estimates are defined as having a high degree of certainty to be recoverable with a targeted 90 percent probability in aggregate that actual reserves recovered over time will equal or exceed proved reserve estimates. For proved plus probable reserves under NI 51-101, the targeted probability is an equal (50 percent) likelihood that the actual reserves to be recovered will be equal to or greater than the proved plus probable reserves estimate. The reserves estimates set forth below are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.
a) Working Interest (Gross) Reserves using forecast prices and costs
b) Net after Royalty Interest Reserves using forecast prices and costs
Additional reserve disclosures, as required under NI 51-101, will be contained in our Annual Information Form that will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
c) Reconciliation of Working Interest (Gross) Reserves using forecast prices and costs
Our focused drilling program during the year highlighted by the realization of significant drilling and completions cost reductions and the potential of our waterflood programs partially offset oil weighted dispositions that occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of 2013. The dispositions noted in our reserve numbers are primarily attributable to the dispositions we closed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
d) Net present value of future net revenue using forecast prices and costs (millions) at December 31, 2013
Net present values take into account wellbore abandonment liabilities and are based on the price assumptions that are contained in the following table. It should not be assumed that the estimated future net revenues represent fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.
e) Summary of pricing and inflation rate assumptions using forecast prices and costs as of December 31, 2013
f) Finding and development costs ("F&D costs")
Capital expenditures for 2013 have been reduced by $83 million related to joint venture carried capital (2012 - $137 million). F&D costs are calculated in accordance with NI 51-101, which include the change in FDC, on a proved and proved plus probable basis. For comparative purposes we also disclose F&D costs excluding FDC.
The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserves additions for that year.
g) Future development costs using forecast prices and costs (millions)
This outlook section is included to provide shareholders with information about our expectations as at March 6, 2014 for production and capital expenditures in 2014 and readers are cautioned that the information may not be appropriate for any other purpose. This information constitutes forward-looking information. Readers should note the assumptions, risks and discussion under "Forward-Looking Statements" and are cautioned that numerous factors could potentially impact our capital expenditure levels and production performance for 2014, including our non-core asset disposition program.
For 2014, our development capital expenditures budget is $900 million. Our forecast 2014 average production is 101,000 boe per day to 106,000 boe per day.
For the first quarter of 2014, our development capital budget is approximately $230 million.
There have been no changes to our guidance from our 2014 forecast average production outlined in our January 21, 2014 press release "Penn West Provides Fourth Quarter 2013 Operational Update and Announces Additional Non-Core Asset Dispositions for Expected Proceeds of Approximately $175 Million" and our 2014 development capital expenditures budget outlined in our November 6, 2013 press release "Penn West Announces its Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2013" released and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
Non-GAAP Measures Advisory
This news release includes non-GAAP measures not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including funds flow, funds flow per share-basic, funds flow per share-diluted, netback, gross revenues and recycle ratio. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Funds flow is cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and decommissioning expenditures. Funds flow is used to assess our ability to fund dividends and planned capital programs. See "Calculation of Funds Flow" below. Netback is a per-unit-of-production measure of operating margin used in capital allocation decisions, to economically rank projects and is the per unit of production amount of revenue less royalties, operating costs, transportation and realized risk management gains and losses. Gross revenue is total revenues including realized risk management gains and losses and is used to assess the cash realizations on commodity sales. Recycle ratio is a comparison of our netback to our finding and development costs and is used to assess the cost of finding reserves compared to the cash received.
Calculation of Funds Flow
Oil and Gas Information Advisory
Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is misleading as an indication of value.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of the "safe harbour" provisions of applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "budget", "may", "will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should", "believe", "outlook", "objective", "aim", "potential", "target" and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. In particular, this document contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, without limitation, the following: under "President's Message" - our intention to focus on our industry leading light-oil positions in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, the application of best-in-class operating practices, relentless cost control and to de-lever the balance sheet to deliver shareholder value; our belief that our capital efficiency improvements will continue as we realize game changing capital cost reductions across our key plays; our intention to continue to drive efficiencies to further enhance returns and extend the economic longevity of our plays; our operated development capital cost targets in our long-term plan; our intention to operate in a continuous and deliberate manner to drive cost efficiencies and predictable production performance; our expectation that our production profile will shift as the effects of the front-end loaded programs of the past dissipate; our expectation that we will be able to advance drilling activities in the Cardium above our stated business plan in 2014 and future years within the planned capital allocations; our intention that operating excellence and investment discipline will continue to be key organic levers while we progress through phase two of our asset divestiture strategy and deliver a laser focused portfolio and improve our balance sheet; under "Dividends" - the details of our first quarter 2014 dividend payment; under "Play Updates" - the details of our exploration and development programs in 2014 and beyond on our Cardium, Viking and Slave Point plays, including the amount of capital budgeted for each play in 2014, the number of net wells we plan to drill on each play in 2014, the EOR and waterflood projects we intend to undertake, our continued focus on further cost reductions and cycle time improvements, and our plans for down-spacing; under "Disposition Update" - the details of our pending non-core asset disposition; under "Reserves Data" - the estimated future development costs of our reserves; and under "Outlook" - our forecast 2014 annual and first quarter development capital expenditures budget and forecast 2014 average daily production.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, we have made assumptions regarding, among other things: the terms and timing of asset sales completed under our ongoing program to sell between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion of non-core assets, including the asset sale anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2014; our ability to execute or long-term plan as described herein and the impact that the successful execution of such plan will have on our Company and our shareholders; the economic returns anticipated from expenditures on our assets; future crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices and differentials between light, medium and heavy oil prices and Canadian, WTI and world oil and natural gas prices; future capital expenditure levels; future crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production levels; drilling results; future exchange rates and interest rates; the amount of future cash dividends that we intend to pay and the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan; our ability to execute our capital programs as planned without significant adverse impacts from various factors beyond our control, including weather, infrastructure access and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and third party consents; our ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities and the costs thereof; our ability to market our oil and natural gas successfully to current and new customers; our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, including our ability to renew or replace our credit facility and our ability to finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes on maturity; and our ability to add production and reserves through our development and exploitation activities. In addition, many of the forward-looking statements contained in this document are located proximate to assumptions that are specific to those forward-looking statements, and such assumptions should be taken into account when reading such forward-looking statements: see in particular the assumptions identified under the heading "Outlook".
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause our actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: the possibility that we are unable to execute some or all of our ongoing non-core asset disposition program on favourable terms or at all, including the disposition discussed herein that is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2014, whether due to the failure to receive requisite regulatory approvals or satisfy applicable closing conditions or for other reasons that we cannot anticipate; the possibility that we will not be able to successfully execute our long-term plan in part or in full, and the possibility that some or all of the benefits that we anticipate will accrue to our Company and our securityholders as a result of the successful execution of such plan do not materialize; the impact of weather conditions on seasonal demand; the impact of weather conditions on our ability to execute capital programs; the risk that we will be unable to execute our capital programs as planned without significant adverse impacts from various factors beyond our control, including weather, infrastructure access and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and third party consents; risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties associated with estimating reserves and resources; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, resources, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S. and globally; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas, price differentials for crude oil and natural gas produced in Canada as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions, including pipeline and railway capacity constraints; royalties payable in respect of our oil and natural gas production and changes to government royalty frameworks; changes in government regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, including environmental regulation; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed, including extreme cold during winter months, wild fires and flooding; failure to obtain regulatory, industry partner and other third-party consents and approvals when required, including for acquisitions, dispositions and mergers; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of dispositions, acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships, including those discussed herein; changes in tax and other laws that affect us and our securityholders; the potential failure of counterparties to honour their contractual obligations; stock market volatility and market valuations; OPEC's ability to control production and balance global supply and demand of crude oil at desired price levels; political uncertainty, including the risks of hostilities, in the petroleum producing regions of the world; and the other factors described in our public filings (including our Annual Information Form) available in Canada at www.sedar.com and in the United States at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.

With thanks to SpaceScopie
those are some beautiful holsters.
now that i have the jet pack and harnas, i need to figure out how to fit it all with the flightsuit and flak vest.... any search tips ?
First test fit of the parts I have so far.
Front: harnas needs to be made smaller or replaced by a smaller one.
The jet pack contains a speaker to connect a sound system to. I will try my TK sound system on it, see how it goes.
Another happy day!
Today arrived jumpsuit, vest, upper armor, some darts for the gauntlets....
Will post some pics later. Before that I will attach the upper armor to the vest via snaps.
Already shipped to me are the gauntlets and pistols. Almost there....
Can't wait to see more

Goed werk!
Small update, I have been busy with work and stuff. Only two more weeks for the helmet to arrive.
See pic below.
Attached the leg armor, almost as it should be. Needs some small adjustments and the legs of the flight suit are going to be shortened.
Put the first snap on the shoulder for the armor, now for the other 35....
I hope to be ready in December to troop at the Dutch Space Expo.
I have been working on the chest armor, as shown in the pics below. Thanks to the tutorial of Cruzer somewhere here on the forum I attached it with the snap. I also places a little piece of leather in the snap to prevent tearing of the vest. Now on to the harnas !
Here a pic of how it attached the armor:
And the result (pic not too clear sorry):
I haven' t met you, I believe...

plan ahead - Places to visit in May
Written by Oryx
Oryx presents its insider's tips for places to visit in May for the best balance of weather conditions before the crowds reach their peak.
Seychelles snorkelling
The Seychelles is the ideal romantic location, with pristine beaches of powder-soft sand, turquoise waters, and a plethora of luxury hotels and resorts. But there's no excuse for sitting still for too long, with excursions and activities such as fishing, diving, golf, and watersports on offer. Mahé is the largest island and the hub for island-hops and day excursions to other islands within the Seychelles, where there is an opportunity to see the world under the water as you snorkel in one of the carefully protected Marine National Parks.
Mahé, Seychelles
Distance: 3,335 km
Flight Time: 4 hours, 55 minutes
Frequency: Beginning December 12, Qatar Airways will operate a daily service from Doha
Istanbul – a tale of two cities
Being the only city to sit across two continents, Istanbul is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. If you have time, explore both the European and Asian sides of Turkey's largest city to appreciate its rich history and culture. The Golden Horn is the inlet of the Bosphorus separating the two European shores, and the Galata Bridge is its most famous crossing. Sultanahmet is the historic centre, and here stands Sultan Ahmed Mosque, or Blue Mosque. Still an active mosque, it's also a popular tourist attraction. One thing you can't miss is Turkish cuisine, including fish, and meze and kebabs using the freshest of ingredients.
Istanbul, Turkey
Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Istanbul, Turkey
Ancient history in Vietnam
Vietnam is known for its natural beauty and cultural diversity, from the beautiful city of Hanoi and the scenic Halong Bay in the north to bustling Ho Chi Minh City in the south. Historical as it is modern, Ho Chi Minh City is best explored on foot, or get a skyline view from a boat tour on the Saigon River. In between lie ancient and peaceful Hoi An and the nearby city of Danang. Here you'll find the Cham Culture Museum, the largest collection of Cham sculpture and artwork in the world. Not too far away, the city of Hue is home to the tomb of King Tu Duc; the seven-storey Thien Mu Pagoda; and the impressive Imperial Citadel.

Housewares Awards of Excellence

Dirt Devil
Food Storage
The Aladdin Insulated To-Go Food Container is double-wall insulated to keep food hotter longer, yet remains cool to the touch after microwave use. Available in 12- and 24-ounce sizes and in red and green, the container also has see-through lids, and is leak proof and dishwasher safe. The 24-ounce size has an internal divider. "We're seeing a strong, positive response to the Insulated To-Go Food Containers for multiple reasons," said Ken Mitchell, vice president of Aladdin for PMI. "One is that consumers today are more aware of what they eat and want to make healthy choices, so there's a need for smart adult lunch solutions in the market. Our containers are resonating with retailers and consumers as an answer to that need. The second reason is that our products are made not only to functionally perform, they're designed to make you look and feel good. Consumers care about that difference." aladdin-pmi.com
Cast-iron Cookware
Gibson Overseas
The newly launched Isaac Mizrahi line from Gibson Overseas includes colored cast iron pieces in unusual shapes, a piece for the M Dot line shown here in mahogany. Other available colors will include teal, lime, orange, black and gun metal. "Consumers haven't seen shapes quite like this -- sculptural and with beaded accents," said Sal Gabbay, president, Gibson. "The colors are fun and fresh. It's cookware that starts a conversation and brings joy to entertaining with something a little new and exciting." The collection is available this fall. gibsonusa.com
Aluminum Cookware
Meyer Corp., U.S.
Offered in three versions, including aluminum, the new KitchenAid Gourmet line features a distinctive soft cushion grip handle, which combines stainless steel with a comfortable and ergonomic silicone design that stays cool during stovetop cooking. The KitchenAid Gourmet Aluminum line adds a pop of color to the cooktop with its translucent exterior finish in a choice of cherry and electric blue.
"We're expanding KitchenAid cookware to better match the enormous clout that KitchenAid has with consumers," said Suzanne Murphy, vice president of marketing at Meyer Corp., U.S. "This year, we're introducing more vibrant colors and technologically driven features in numerous cookware collections that are best in class within their respective price points. Our goal is to offer every consumer, from the beginner cook to the most experienced cook and devoted foodie, the best with KitchenAid cookware."
With classic, straight sides and tempered glass lids, the aluminum line has even-heating construction and includes a magnetic stainless-steel base for use on all cooktops, including induction. KitchenAid Gourmet Aluminum cookware is available in six open-stock items and two sets in prices ranging from $19.99 for an 8.5-inch skillet to $199.99 for the 11-piece set. meyer.com
Stainless-steel Cookware
Cuisinart returns to its roots with the French Classic stainless-steel collection. Forty years ago, Cuisinart imported top-quality stainless-steel cookware from France, and now returns to that country for French Classic, which is manufactured there.
The tri-ply line has an aluminum core between solid stainless steel as well as Heat Surround technology, which allows heat to be evenly distributed along the bottom and up the walls of the cookware. In addition, the stay-cool, contoured stainless handles provide a comfortable grip and a thumb rest allows for control. It's available as open stock from saucepans to skillets, the 10-inch gratin pan with cover shown here, and in a 10-piece set. cuisinart.com
Kuhn Rikon
Kuhn Rikon
The new Kochblume Spill Stopper from Kuhn Rikon prevents boiling liquids from spilling or overflowing onto the stovetop. Made of colorful silicone -- in green, purple and red -- and heat resistant up to 400 degrees, the Spill Stopper comes in 10- and 12-inch sizes and will fit on top of any pot or pan spanning six to ten inches in diameter.
"The Kochblume Spill Stopper solves an everyday cooking problem, which is why it's been such a success with retailers and consumers," said Chelsea Schlunt, managing director of Kuhn Rikon USA. "You don't have to worry about boiling liquids spilling or overflowing on your stovetop again. It really works, and its innovative design is unlike anything else on the market." The Spill Stopper can also double as a splatter guard for the microwave. kuhnrikon.com
Kitchen Tool
The new Thermo-Sensor spoon from Mastrad performs double duty in the kitchen: It is both a spoon and a thermometer in one. It can be used as one piece, so chefs can monitor the temperatures of foods while they are being cooked. But the thermometer can also be pulled out of the spoon to be used separately.
"Our customers are constantly in need of multi-functional, versatile and easy to use measuring tools that help them prepare meals in less time and with more precision," said Mathieu Lion, CEO. "Whether they are looking to prepare a quick delicious meal or just need help in making the same dish more than once, our Thermo-Sensor spoon and cooking thermometer make it more convenient for them to accomplish just that."
The thermometer reads in both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures, has an instant and digital thermometer read and memorizes minimum and maximum temperature from last use. mastrad.us
Cleaning Products
Viatek Consumer Products Group
The company sought to "turn heads" in a different way during the International Home + Housewares Show with the launch of the Clean Spin 360 Duo Mop. This product offers two interchangeable mop heads--one round with thousands of microfiber strands, the other rectangular with a thick microfiber pad. The material traps dirt, dust and liquids without dripping or spreading the mess, then is cleaned and dried by putting it into the Spin Bucket and pumping the foot pedal, which spins the mop head at more than 1,000 revolutions per minute. viatekproducts.com
Personal Care
Wahl Clipper
Known for its grooming products, Wahl Clipper also made a name for itself early on in handheld massagers. During the International Home + Housewares Show, the company launched a number of handheld massagers, including the Heat Therapy Massager, which combines heat with nine interchangeable heads to help increase the blood flow to sore muscles. It also includes variable intensity control and a turbo setting, which allows users to "dial in" during use, according to a company statement. wahl.com
Robert Welch
The Robert Welch Signature cutlery collection introduces Americans to British cutlery design. The forged knives are made of German stainless steel for strength and durability and have a Japanese edge for sharpness. The black plastic handles have a distinctive wave shape to fit comfortably in the hand and minimize fatigue. They are available open stock or in a block configuration, and retail prices range from $33 for a 3-inch paring knife to $90 for a 10-inch chef's knife. The block features an integrated honing wheel and a magnetic guide in each knife slot to protect the knife edge.
"The Signature knives got a great reception at the Housewares Show in Chicago," said Mark Follett, vice president, USA. "The Signature knife collection offers a real point of difference, combining British design, German steel and a Japanese style edge, ground to 15 degrees on each side. They look beautiful, feel comfortable in the hand and came in the top 1 percent of all brand knives when tested for sharpness and edge retention. They also hit a great price point for that level of quality and performance." robertwelch.com
Curtis Stone
Pop Out, the new bakeware line from celebrity chef Curtis Stone, "makes total sense," the chef told HFN. It took three years to develop, and fuses a durable cold rolled steel frame with flexible silicone cups to make removing baked goods easy.
Available in a loaf pan, a round cake pan and here, a six-hole muffin pan, the line's thick rolled edges prevent warping and the nonstick coating ensures even browning. It also has large handles so the chef can easily grip the pan without sticking the thumbs of the oven mitts in the pan. The FDA-grade silicone is oven-safe to 500 degrees.
"Making a home-cooked meal can be intimidating to some," Stone said. "These products solve problems along the way." curtisstone.com
Small Electrics
West Bend
The brand, now a part of Focus Products Group, is celebrating its 100th year in business with the idea of "creating memories around the table," as it said in a company statement. One of its most memorable launches at the International Home + Housewares Show is the Jelly Belly Cotton Candy Machine, which makes individual servings of cotton candy. It comes with six cotton-candy cones and takes just minutes to make individual sized servings. The Jelly Belly Cotton Candy Machine is part of West Bend's partnership with candy maker Jelly Belly. westbend.com
Water Bottle
Cool Gear
Combining the BPA-free material Tritan with cool, trendy graphics, the Tritan Straight Wall water bottles are an easy and fun way to take water on the go. They have a 20-ounce capacity.
"The Tritan Straight Wall bottles have a nice clean design, they're easy to grip, and the graphic and bumper details are what make it unique from other bottles," said Donna Roth, CEO. "We have four mainstay colors and graphics, as well as additional customized graphics for specific major retailers. We are always continuing to develop and expand our product lines, and this bottle has generated a lot of positive feedback."
The bottles have a pull-up sipper cap with finger loop and will be available later this year. Silicone banding is available for the top and bottom as well. coolgearinc.com

May weather, rain and an early start to the Hurricane season?
Post a comment as
Watch this discussion. Stop watching this discussion.
(23) comments Back to story
Ice in the Great Lakes delayed spring in the North east. The last time the Great Lakes were not Ice free June 1st was in the1970's when Al Gore was predicting a new Ice age.
Below normal Temps keeps the Gulf cooler than normal. Probably delaying our huricane season. With a cooler gulf we can expect less rain. Record ice in the Artic and Anti Artic for their seasons. Increased snow pack has glaciers moving faster. Trees in the Northern Tiaga are a month late starting new growth.
Would someone please tell BHO global warming reversed course in 1998. He never knows anything untill he reads in the paper.
Sorry can't do that. There was not record ice in the Arctic or Antarctic this year. In fact, Alaska had a very warm winter. You are confusing weather with climate. There is a big difference.
One difference is you can't make as much money off of 'weather change' as you can 'climate change'... [wink]
But, the few "professional" climate change deniers still in existence are still making big bucks from their sponsors. As usual, follow the money and see who is paying them.
In the meantime, in the world of not sticking your head in the sand:
Et tu...
Mr. Blazyk, with all due respect, and I mean that for real, without climate change, you'd be predicting the latest color change in the primordial soup, and the bad hair days caused by running away from hungry T-Rex's...
If I hadn't 'stuck my head in the sand' 40 years ago, I'd have invested heavily, and gone broke, in parkas and mukluks for the coming mini-ice age predicted by the SAME government and national and worldwide experts in 'scientific consensus' that 'global cooling' caused by increased carbon dioxide concentrations and fluorocarbons and such being released were SURE, NO DOUBT, going to cause by...right about now...[wink]
Soon as I hear a credible explanation for how a 17 year hiatus in global temperature change dovetails with an ever INCREASING concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, i'll look at revisiting the experts testimonials.
In the meantime, I note the two top poster boys for 'global warming' and 'climate change' have diverged on their treatment of what they say they hold so dear. One having made hundreds of millions off of a hysteria he is largely responsible for inducing, then selling out to a company run by Middle east oil money after damning fossil fuels as The Enemy of the glonbal climate. The other content to hamstring the nations power supply and begin the wrecking of what was once the world's greatest economy and cause energy prices to 'necessarily skyrocket' and stick consumers with billions more in fees and charges passed along to them.
The common thread is that BOTH have accomplished nothing to effect the 'global' climate. Just their political and personal financial ones.
Head in the sand?
Question is...who's head...[wink]
The Ice age fad of the 70's was never accepted by the majority of climate scientists. Instead it was driven by the popular media, whereas 97% of all climate scientists world wide think that climate change is happening. How do explain the disappearing glaciers, ice free summers in the Arctic, increasingly rapid melting of Greenland;s ice mass and the melting recently documented underneath the ice cap in the Antarctic.?
climate change always happens sporadically. It never occurs as a direct linear sequence. Look at the chart linked in my previous post. As for the slowdown (not hiatus) in global warming, recent research has shown that some (not all) of the excess CO2 is being adsorbed by the ocean, which means it is being released more slowly as heat....but the important point...is that it is still being released and will continue to do so.
If you choose to believe the sound bites of a minority with vested interests over the opinions of thousands of scientists who specialize in climate, that is your choice. I wouldn't put a lot of your money on climate change not happening and it not having very serious consequences for our children's future.
I suggest that you actually take a look at the research and scientific literature on this topic, if you are really interested.
Of course I'm interested in life on earth.
I have a different memory of the 70's climate movement, but then we don't live in the past, anyway.
How do I explain the changes?
The earth is a dynamic organism, and the weather and climate change. Hotter and colder.
Perhaps semantics is the disconnect.
I do not suggest that the climate does not change...to do so would be ludicrous.
I question the imperative to wreck this nation's economy 'fighting' that which we are, these days, a much lesser contributor to than other global countries, such countries also in the process of increasing emmissions, and not in the least interested in any popular movement, real or imagined, to curb their emmissions, and thus their economy.
If we went back to walking and subsistence farming and sweating in the heat tomorrow and killed all the methane emmitting animals in this country, the world as a global entity would STILL be impacting the atmosphere, and thus climate, and doing so a lot more negatively than we are. Nobody can argue that this great beast of a nation has not improved greatly it's stewardship of nature in those last 40 years. Must we now kill the beast to get the last drop of 'improvement'?
The yellow stuff on my leg ain't rain when I see a dog with a hiked up leg next to me. The national hysteria with 'climate change' is a big, mean old dog...
So, until there is some meaningful possibility that other nations will join in (treaty - sure...we can expect that to work great...), and until the 'climate change' gurus in THIS country start telling it like it is that we are a small part of a much bigger situation, and until somebody explains for real the 17 year warming hiatus, count me out.
No doubt...I'll be missed....[beam]
You're lucky that what you're selling is really popular with a lot of folks.
One less customer won't matter...even many millions won't...as long as we are intent on using 'climate change' as an excuse to further political ideology...
Best wishes.
Always an interesting subject.
"How do explain the disappearing glaciers, ice free summers in the Arctic, increasingly rapid melting of Greenland;s ice mass and the melting recently documented underneath the ice cap in the Antarctic.?"
When the power goes out in my house I check around the neighborhood. If the power is on down the street and across the street I feel the problem is with my house. If the power is out all over the neighborhood then I know it's not just me. Well the polar ice caps are melting -on Mars and Europa and other ice bound moons in our solar system showing that the phenomenon is not localized. That tells me that it is probably caused by an increase in solar activity - something we have NO control over.
The way I understand the issue is that there is little doubt about the fact the climate is changing, but the question is what is driving the climate change. Geologists and paleontologists tell us that this planet has undergone drastic climate changes long before the invention of the internal combustion engine. It is my understanding that the various theories used to explain these climate changes range from asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions to sun spot activity and wobbles in the axis of rotation of the earth, as well as the current theories du jour of greenhouse emissions from carbon fuel burning and methane emissions from flatulent cows.
I think that the real dispute is over the fact that climate science does not have much to offer in the way of controlled experiments to establish that the current round of climate change is man - made beyond a reasonable doubt. There are too many variables in nature and in the equations, and correlation does not imply causation.
Are we willing to impose drastic costs on our economy to try to attain a by no means certain benefit? And will China and India go along with the program?
By the way, there was an opinion column in the May 26 Wall Street Journal titled "The Myth of the 97%".
This column was co-authored by Dr. Roy Spencer, who is a principal research scientist for the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on NASA's Aqua Satellite/
This column presents hard data to refute the current story that 97% of scientists agree about global warming and its purported man-made origins. They say that "The so-called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract - counting exercises that have been contradicted by more reliable research".
I cannot summarize it here, it is a lengthy article but the authors give many specific examples of how data was cherry - picked in order to come up with the bogus 97% claim. Of course, true believers are not interested in hearing anything which contradicts their world - view, but Mr. Blazyk and others may be interested in getting another angle on this "97%" story in the interest of scientific objectivity,
I will copy the link below, though I do not know if it can be read if you are not a subscriber. I think I can email it to anyone who may be interested.
China is investing in pollution reduction, more than Europe and similar to U.S. India, not so much. They have a weird situation in that much of their pollution is caused by burning wood and biomass. I didn't know this till I googled it. Man, it's gonna be hard keeping people from cooking their food.
Climate change is one of the issues where I find myself disagreeing with IHOG, Carlos, and gecroix. Though I believe we should take ALL the evidence we have into account, including the past decade of temperature leveling -- the trend overwhelmingly points to a gradual warming. As an admittedly former engineer, I can't ignore this trend. It's there; it's undeniable.
And what Stan is hinting at is supported by basic science: Even with an apparent leveling off, there's a very good chance that the oceans are storing an energy increase that will be released later. It's too hard to measure whether this is happening, but it makes sense scientifically.
I read the Wall Street Journal article about the "myth of the 97%". It turns out that the information used to support this thesis is even more suspect than the "myth" they supposedly try to discredit. Here are a couple of links about this, if you are interested.
Where we are with human influenced climate change is exactly where we were with cigarettes and cancer in the 1950's and 1960's. The great majority of medical researchers were convinced about the association between tobacco use and cancer, but the Tobacco companies could always trot out their paid scientists to dispute these claims. Think about it.
By the way, almost all the funding critical of human caused climate change has been funded by Canadian and American oil companies, which in itself, should call into question motives and concern with the science involved.
Stan, thanks for your response.
I posted my last blog before I saw I saw your response.
I understand your "follow the money" argument and I am usually sympathetic to that type of argument, however it is really a non - sequitur logical fallacy to assume that this is the case here. What the tobacco companies and oil companies did or are doing as to funding has no bearing on the results of scientific research in climate science. Even if the money is "tainted", does that imply that research findings contrary to the prevailing opinion is necessarily incorrect? And what if the prevailing opinion is not as "prevailing" as made out to be in the media?
You will have to admit that all scientific advances have been made by individuals who stood contrary to the 97% - Thomas Kuhn's Paradigm Shift.
I will explore the links that you posted here, however I could just as easily posit that the true believers are going to emphasize the findings that will confirm their biases, that funding for the current global warming scare is coming from individuals that want to make a financial killing in green technology, or that this is another attempt by the Federal government to increase its domain over the lives of its citizens.
Also, given Dr. Spencer's curriculum vitae and the awards and recognition he has received, I find it hard to discount his contentions. And he is or was a government employee or contractor (NASA).
I just naturally have an aversion to "everybody knows" statements of "fact".
Stan, I have explored those links that you posted, and as far as I can see it is more of the same.
Dr. Spencer addressed the issues raised in these blogs in his article, which was written by him well after these blogs were initiated. Also, the comments to the main post on these sites were very revealing - basically ad hominem attacks on climate change skeptics that dared to post anything.
The climate has gotten warmer for a time, but apparently has gone into a hiatus the past ten years or so while greenhouse emissions were increasing, as gecroix mentioned.
This hiatus was not predicted by climate prediction computer models, but now, after the fact, various explanations have come forth. Karl Popper said that good science was falsifiable and bad science was not open to the possibility of falsification. Convenient after the fact explanations and acceptance of model failure are not good science because then you can never be wrong. The same criteria of falsifiability should be used in evaluating climate research as should be used in evaluating physics or chemistry research.
Dr. Spencer and many of his climate research scientists offer alternative views that do not get press coverage because their research and conclusions are considered secular heresy.
Indeed, I get the feeling from the vitriol of some of the postings on the blog sites you (Stan) referred me to that some of the posters would be happy to burn dissenters at the stake, except that they in no way wish to be considered "insensitive". Happily, that is not the case here.[smile]
By the way, is there any evidence that Dr. Spencer's research is funded by any oil or coal company?
"Convenient after the fact explanations and acceptance of model failure are not good science..."
Vic -- I won't argue this directly, I'll just say that after-the-fact explanations are the starting point for modifying said models to better match reality. Acceptance of model failure comes with the territory when dealing with complex phenomena. You accept it, modify the model, and try again.
"The same criteria of falsifiability should be used in evaluating climate research as should be used in evaluating physics or chemistry research."
Personally, I hold them to different standards. Climate research, at the level of knowability that's feasible at this time, seems to me to be more like engineering than pure science. I'm no expert, but that's what it seems like.
"some of the posters would be happy to burn dissenters at the stake, except that they in no way wish to be considered "insensitive". -- Or maybe they didn't wish to increase their carbon footprint. [beam]
Doggone it. I wish I would have thought of the carbon footprint angle. That's good.
I agree with your point about how models have to be continually revised based on its prediction outcomes, its just that it seems to me that we are expected to accept "dangerous man-made climate change" as dogma when the evidence for it is not that certain, or at least not certain enough to justify any drastic government intervention programs.
Computer models are useful, but remember GIGO, garbage in, garbage out.
I will start out by saying that I always enjoy Mr. Blazyk's posts and in fact they are the first thing I look for when I log in to the GCDN Website.
That said, I was more than a little irritated when I read that 97% of climate scientists agree that the increase in global temperatures are due to humans being a significant factor.
I was not a professional scientist, but I have taken enough science courses to know how the scientific method is supposed to work.
Well tested and confirmed scientific theories are certainly the way to bet on predictions they generate about nature. However, they are always tentative and subject to further testing. The eighteenth century thought it had nature nailed in the equations of Newton, that is until Relativity and Quantum theory came along. We can still use Newton to get to the moon and planets, but Newton is fundamentally incorrect as to how nature works.
I believe that the current theories about climate change are no where near the status of theories that are ways to bet on future outcomes. There is too much ignorance of climate processes such as cloud formation and precipitation formation to come to anywhere near a scientific "certainty".
Dr. Roy Spencer is a climatologist who is very much immersed in climate change research. Google his name and also "aqua satellite" and you will find an article about him in Wikipedia that will provide some enlightenment as to an opposing viewpoint. He is a well respected climatological research scientist.
The current fear-mongering 97% canard is being driven by the news media just as the bogus "nuclear winter" hypothesis was during the 1970's
Some highlights of the WSJ article that Dr. Spencer co-authored included the fact that the definition of consensus about global warming left out the word "dangerous" and that "scores of articles by prominent scientists" who questioned the so called consensus where excluded. He said that, in fact, most climate scientists " disagree with the consensus on key issues such as the reliability of climate data and computer models. They do not believe that climate processes such as cloud formation and precipitation are sufficiently understood to predict future climate change".
There is too much to go into here, but keep an open mind and look for all the information you can. Especially be skeptical of politicians who throw around such blatant falsehoods. They are an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
The current 97% canard is being driven by the news
When we get honest and change the name to 'economy wrecking', then and only then will we have the factual results of the efforts proposed and getting underway via current 'pen and phone' scientific method by the 'scientists' in the White House, a place not exactly known of late for veracity.
Is killing cheap coal energy, ESPECIALLY in this 'fundamentally changed' screwed up one, and spiking U.S. electricty costs the answer to smog in China...or anywhere else.
If we are to talk of evidence, then the evidence at hand is, currently, that we have had 17 years of essentially no temperature increase globally, as yet UNEXPLAINED, while atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased substantially, in no small part because no matter how far we cut in this country, we will not be able to undercut the increases in other global countries.
That doesn't sound like a 'settled debate' to me, unless it''s a one sided one.
That is the current hard evidence happening right now, yet we choose, for now, to override it with talk of good chances for something else happening, because we think that it should in a sensible situation.
Here's a point: We are told that absolutely we must cut emmissions or global cooling/global warming will nail us. Absolutely. And although we did a LOT of cutting in this country, globally there's a significant, and growing, increase, YET temps have stalled. For going on 2 decades.
Do we get to have it both ways, demanding a bow to scientific method using hard evidence, but when that doesn't fit the prediction we switch to conjecture and should-be to make the same point?
I know well the value of gut feeling, and how it very well may be correct when evidence suggests otherwise. But, we are not talking here about acting on gut feeling to make some process moves on a refining unit in the face of instrumentaion telling us not to, but experince telling us yes, do it. Or about doing something at an emergency scene totally out of whack with the training manual because we see something happening on scene and know we must deviate or fail.
Those negative consequences if they happen amount to a drop in the ocean compared to the harm to come for SURE by fighting against the harm to come MAYBE.
That's also undeniable.
The current popularly called for cure for the disease amounts to cutting off the patient's head to stop the pain of a broken leg.
Here's a bipartisan suggestion:
Rather than follow the 'progressive' lead and do all that's possible to cripple our own national economy in the hope of effecting a global outcome to any significant degree, when the other contributors are not predisposed to do the same, or even help out beyond tokenism, and since there IS most assuredly an as yet unanswered puzzling departure the last several year from the 'settled science', why not refuse to do something when we don't know for sure what, if anything, needs doing?
Which is most likley to have a positive influence on climate research...a vibrant U.S. economy with funds available for significant and far reaching research (here and abroad) from the tax revenues brought in from a prosperous populace flush enough and secure enough to be interested in more than paying the bills each month? Or continuing on the current path of hurting the economy, and thus doing squat to help anybody else research as jobs go to heck and with them even less tax monies come in and more dependency checks take away from useful projects like science research, under the auspices of blanket statements made by ideologues charging up the national credit cards and circumventing the legislative process (it IS more than a one man show...at least it was when we followed the Constitution) to do so?
Let's answer the current burning (no pun) question about the stalled temp increases, contrary to climate scientists predictions, so we know what direction to even go toward.
Then, lets decide if there even IS anything that any amount of money can do to beat Ma Nature at her game, unless everybody else joins in, too.
Now, i don't believe for a second that any people so far herein responding are dishoinest, so, you folks tell me:
Does, or does not, a snowball have a better chance in hell than this country has of convincing the world's other big players to do what we are poised to do - significantly harm ourselves in the supposed hope of helping all?
You answer is..............................?
I'm done...an old East Texas Piney Woods stomper like me probably should not presume to enage such learned folks anyway....
It all depends on if they perceive the problem to be a threat to their national interests.
I read a story from a journalist in Peking who said that the smog is so bad in Peking that his eyes were burning when he was walking outside and visibility was terrible.
The Chinese government obviously has to address this local problem, which it looks at differently than larger global issues that have less immediate impact on its citizens.
It all boils down to an economic cost - benefit analysis. Easier said than done.
As usual, the debate over climate change brings out more heat than light (no pun intended), which is why I usually do not comment much on the topic.
One thing is certain. Evidence for or against "global warming" aka climate change will be unequivocal within a generation. Then it will be up to the scientists and the historians to say whether we made the correct decisions based upon the information available at the time.
Basically, my problem with the whole thing is my distrust of computer models. It seems to me that the output from various climate research models is what is driving this debate and I cannot see putting our economy at risk or at a significant international competitive disadvantage because of them. Their output is too tentative for the load we want to put on them.
I have a background in finance and economics and I, and all of us, have witnessed what over reliance on computer models by large financial institutions has done to almost completely wreck our national and international economies. GIGO.
Computer model output gives us a false sense of precision and accuracy as to its predictions and I don't think that scientists are any more immune than the rest of us in our paternal and maternal interest in protecting our babies.
Thing about heat is it's not linear...it radiates in all directions... [wink]

Local Residents Urged To Make A Green Start To 2012
|Published: 4th January 2012 13:27
North West Leicestershire residents taking down their decorations on Twelfth Night are urged to recycle Christmas trees and cards instead of sending them to landfill.
North West Leicestershire District Council and Leicestershire Waste Partnership - which is made up of the county, district and borough councils in Leicestershire - are urging people to get 2012 off to a green start as part of the 'dreaming of a green Christmas' campaign.
In line with North West Leicestershire's green Footprints challenge, the campaign encourages reuse, recycling and composting this Christmas and New Year. Leicestershire residents are being asked to reuse items they no longer need, compost Christmas trees and recycle Christmas cards.
In North West Leicestershire, real Christmas trees can be collected by the District Council as part of its kerbside recycling service.
Christmas cards can be taken to local libraries, County Council Service Shops and County Hall where they can be recycled and the money donated to The Royal British Legion.
Small electrical items, such as broken toys and old shavers / hairdryers, can also be taken to the local household recycling centre in Linden Way, off Ashby Road, Coalville for recycling.
Councillor Alison Smith, Deputy Leader of North West Leicestershire District Council and Portfolio Holder for Community Services, said:
"If people cannot re-plant Christmas trees in their gardens, we would encourage them to recycle them instead.
"By recycling trees, cards and small electrical items local residents are not only reducing the amount being sent to landfill, but are getting 2012 off to a great green start."

Philip Roth – Internet shopper
It is always nice to hear a famous author mentioning in an interview that they buy books from AbeBooks. Today, Philip Roth is interviewed in the Wall Street Journal. Roth's latest novel is called The Humbling and it is the third book in a quartet after 2006's Everyman and 2008's Indignation.
Roth is asked if he is online and he admits to buying groceries and books on the Internet. He purchases from Amazon and buys used books from AbeBooks and also from our friends at Alibris.
It's wonderful when you want to find something obscure and there it is for $3.98. It's the greatest book bazaar that has ever existed.
Thank you Mr Roth. He's 76 and in a unique position as the senior figure of American literature, so I think I should really address him as Mister Roth.

Pirates in talks with Dominican outfielder
Jorge Arangure reports today that the Pirates have signed 17-year-old Dominican outfielder Willy Garcia. Garcia receives a signing bonus of $280,000, the largest bonus handed out by the Pirates in the current international signing period that began July 2. Garcia apparently has a good arm, some power potential and can run a bit.
EDIT: The Pirates are saying that there is no signing at this point....

A slim profile, contemporary wall light design from the George Kovacs Simply Kovacs line.More Details >
This contemporary wall sconce features a cylindrical, cased etched opal glass for a sleek and modern appearance. With a brushed nickel support and wall mount. May be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Check size & position before you buy! Printable Life-Size Image
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Is great in a contemporary style
It provides apply light over the mirror in my bathroom.
great service at the store
These lights are on both sides of a beautiful mosaic mirror. They make the entire bathroom elegant and inviting. The sleek design and beautiful finish are breathtaking. I didn't realize you could fall in love with lights.
Great over bathroom vanity.
We centered them vertically beside mirrors that are 44" long and 22" wide. With the dimmer switch, they make a perfect night light as well.
Installed in remodeled half bath. Liked the deisgn and flexibility of being able to mount from the ceiling rather from the wall. Very few fixtures have both options. I needed to mount from the ceiling due to a small soffit over the sink and the location of the existing electrical. The finish was easy to match to the plumbing fixtures.
This light is hanging on both sides of my bathroom's mirror: it looks great, and it gives just the right amount of light - not "under investigation", yet not so dim that you cannot see if you are actually looking shaved or not. I did install it on a dimmer though - sometimes you do not want to see the harsh details... Installation is also a breeze - the adjusting screws allow enough room for placement errorsImages/Videos shared by: JDHM
Contemporary and sleek, just the right size for our small bathroom.
Lights will be mounted on both sides of tall bathroom mirrors above sinks in master bath for a sleek modern look in the master bath.
Perfect for my small bathroom space, used one over the mirror, gives good light and I especially like its sleek clean design. Easily installed by my son.
Can have a horizontal or vertical installation. Great as accent lighting in bathroom vanity area.
I used two of the lights in bathroom mounted on sides of a 39" recessed mirror cabinet above a raised vanity and thick square edge corian counter-top. The light is perfect!
