The Bank's intervention in the long-running Wembley saga came last week when its business finance division hosted a meeting with representatives from Sir Ron Brierley's Guinness Peat Group (GPG) and Wembley's merchant banking advisers, Charterhouse.
GPG owns a blocking stake in the company's preference shares and until the meeting with the Bank it had opposed the proposed deal.
After the meeting GPG decided to give irrevocable undertakings to accept the terms being offered to it as a preference shareholder, thus removing one of the major obstacles to the deal.
However, Wembley, which will post details of the restructuring proposals to its shareholders in the next few days, still has to persuade a majority of the holders of its ordinary shares to accept the terms on offer.
The meeting at the Bank resulted in Wembley increasing the terms being offered to preference shareholders to 30 ordinary shares for every one preference share, valuing the preference shares at 60p instead of the 50p originally on offer. GPG spent around £3m building its stake - and now stands to make a profit of around £1m on its holding.
A GPG spokesman said yesterday that as far back as February GPG had told Wembley that it would not accept the 50p terms on offer. "Those terms simply did not appeal to us at all and we made that clear to Charterhouse. But nothing was done to change them until last week."
The Wembley refinancing talks have been going on now for almost a year. Under the current proposals Wembley hopes to raise £62.5m to reduce its debt to a more manageable £72m. It is doing this through a mixture of raising equity from existing and new shareholders. The banks have agreed to convert £39.2m of debt and other liabilities into equity.
There have been concerns about the fees charged by the banks and the company's advisers during this time. Total fees are expected to exceed £15m, more than the current capitalisation of Wembley.
GPG's acceptance of the preference terms will be a big boost to the company, which has been giving institutional presentations without the presence of Sir Brian Wolfson, who has agreed to move from chairman to deputy chairman after bowing to shareholder pressure.
The presentations have been given by Claes Hultman, the new chairman, Alan Coppin, the chief executive, and Nigel Potter, the finance director.
However, documents given to the institutions show that the company has agreed a two-year package with Sir Brian worth £157,000 a year, plus the use of a company car, private medical insurance and a performance- related bonus.
Under the proposals the number of ordinary shares, currently 250 million, will be increased to an astonishing 5.5 billion. Existing shareholders will be diluted to less than 5 per cent of the company unless they subscribe to their rights shares, which will be priced at 2p each.
The documents also disclose that one of Wembley's subsidiaries, PCC Management Inc, is involved in arbitration proceedings with Moviefone Inc which relates to a joint venture known as Pacer Cats, a US ticketing operation.
Each party, says the documents, "is alleging, inter alia, breach of contract and fraud". The litigation relates to a contract between the two companies to supply ticketing systems to cinemas.

Mercedes-Benz hits a home run with the CLA
By tonyride on
Vehicle2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
ReviewI got my CLA250 about 1.5 month ago and after driving it for about 1500 miles I absolutely love the car. The sticker price was $40,025 ($38,700 negotiated) with Premium/Multimedia/Sports packages, Bi-Xenon head lights with LED tail lights, and Panorama roof. I love the driving dynamics of the car and the fuel economy is amazing. Being able to choose between Econ, Sport, and Manual mode is a plus. The Stop/Go feature took a little getting use to but now it doesn't bother me. You can always turn that feature off if you want. I get a lot of looks and double takes when I'm driving around and people have even asked me about it. I got a set of winter tires/wheels so I can drive it all year round.
Best FeaturesLooks, feel, driving dynamics, fuel economy, relative value, entertainment/safety technology, expected luxury feel from a Mercedes-Benz.
Worst FeaturesMore storage compartments, more 12V/USB ports, add cup holders for the rear passengers, include rear center fold down arm rest (trunk pass thru).

A Breather for the Bull
By Paul Cherney
Short-term measures are ripe for a brief spell of profit-taking, but, sometimes, in a one-way (up) market like the current market, expectations for some profit-taking precede only sideways, tight-range price action for a day or two before another wave of buyers moves in. There was no lack of buying interest on Wednesday as prices started out weak, but buyers moved in. This is typical of a bull trend in prices.
Longer-term momentum measures remain positive.
Downside appears limited because momentum measures have registered levels which usually mean residual positive momentum is in place, When this is the case, the first pullback in price, even a decline of two or three trading days, is usually viewed by the markets as a buying opportunity.
Near the close on Wednesday, the 10-day exponential moving average of the VXO close was 16.19. If the VXO moves back above 16.19, that would probably be coincident with weaker stock prices that might last more than just intraday. Until that happens, the trend is for higher prices. A low VIX or a low VXO is not a danger in and of itself; the only danger comes when the VIX or the VXO starts to rise and exceeds resistance levels. That has not happened in this market.
Immediate intraday support for the S&P 500 is a small shelf at 1,124-1,119.90. Supports are stacked with additional support at 1,118.48-1,113.69, then 1,106-1,100. The broad support is 1,106-1,068 and 1,083-1,053, which makes a focus of support 1,083-1,068. Price support thickens with prints of 1,096 and lower.
Immediate resistance for the S&P 500 is 1,116-1,133, then 1,151-1,176.
Immediate support for the Nasdaq is 2,062-2,047, then 2,037-2,027, then 2,022-2,010. Considerable support exists at 2,001-1,986, then 1,974-1,960.
The Nasdaq is an old band of resistance on the daily charts which runs 2,026-2,105.
There is virtually no competition for an investment dollar. Downside appears limited, but after the earnings reports for the fourth quarter, the upside might be limited, too, as the markets digest some of the gains of the past 15 months.

1) Every day will be the first day of spring. Every day there will be a howling easterly coming off the Urals, every day will be preceded by an X-rated weather forecast, every day will carry the memory of a hard winter and the prospect of a dismal summer, and after tomorrow the days will start getting shorter.
2) This is my ruling on international war. There will be no more international war. The league table of nations will be decided by the relative strength of their football hooligans. Japan, go and sit next to Kuwait, and Germany . . .
What are you looking at, Germany? I'm sorry? Nothing? I'm sorry, are you calling me nothing? Are you calling me nothing? Excuse me, hang about: aren't you the one who, didn't you beat my brother up? Aren't you the bloke, aren't you, that beat my brother up?
3) Anyone who enters the yellow box junction without being able to get out again will be fed to pigs.
4) Jeremy Beadle will not walk out of his front door without a crane falling on his Mercedes. Every time he comes back from the mini-mart he'll find his garden has been ploughed with salt. And his house will have been knocked down. Homeless and rootless as he travels the lonely world, every bed he gets into will have a horse's head in it. And every time he gets up in the middle of the night he'll find we've suspended his bed over Niagara Falls. And we won't be joking.
5) Anyone who admires a juvenile's clarinet playing of Abide with Me with the words: 'Move over Benny Goodman]' will have their tongue stapled to the roof of their mouth. Ditto for users of the phrases 'budding novelists', 'aspiring authors'.
The same goes for critics who talk about 'being in for a treat' at art exhibitions. Their typing fingers will be sewn together and they'll be required to wear mittens full of broken glass.
6) No more Leslie Crowther, sorry Les, you've had a good run, and thank you very much for all those Crackerjack pencils, but that is it.
7) David Mellor will be made Governor of Hong Kong.
8) Growth in China's special economic zones will be held under 18 per cent a year for five years to allow people to catch their breath. Their rulers, remembering the integrity and dignity with which we conducted ourselves during the Opium Wars, will apply to the Queen, asking her to adopt their country as a colony administered by Britain and paying taxes directly to its constitutional head.
9) The directors of the London Underground will be required to travel to work by London Underground. Fat, wet women will sit in their laps and burp in their faces, and mad young bank clerks will poke them with their umbrellas, and gypsies will laugh at them, and every journey will finish with neo-Nazis and Westbourne ganja gangs taking all their credit cards and tattooing their faces with the punchlines from crude knock-knock jokes.
10) Anita Brookner will be caught up in a guerrilla war fought with defective military surpluses and blowpipes; her hard-boiled novel - Airstrike] - about the experience will be made into a television mini series starring Jill St John and she will find herself at the Fox launch party, falling in love with Sylvester Stallone for the way he sings 'I Did It My Way' on a karaoke machine. The same goes for A S Byatt.
11) A novel called Oh Tickle My Bum with a Stick of Celeree] will win the Booker Prize every year, and its authors will attend the ceremony wearing only string vests and open-toed sandals and their acceptance speech will consist of vulgar noises (thurrp] phoowargghh]) made through a blubbery combination of lips and loofah-like tongues.
12) Everyone who lives in the Birmingham conurbation will be required to adopt the name Benny.
13-20) The Common Agricultural Policy will be scrapped. And if that is beyond the powers of this world's ruler it will be modified to downgrade agricultural subsidy on a progressive sliding scale so that 28 years from now the level of subsidy would have been reduced by a full 12.5 per cent in dairy and sheepmeat production but, obviously, allowing complementary set-aside substitution so that farmers would not be materially disadvantaged.
There's only so much a ruler of the world can do.

The Royal Ballet's latest triple bill keeps falling short of its ambitions.
Wayne McGregor's new Limen is framed by dazzling digital installations, but can't find the steps to match. Glen Tetley's Sphinx gets tangled in Greek myth, while Balanchine's Agon was shockingly under-rehearsed.
Limen is dominated by Tatsuo Miyajima's video designs. Numbers are projected onto a screen at the front of the stage, floating and turning. There's a remarkable illusion of depth, as if numbers were swimming past the dancers in a blue sea. Behind the screen, the 15 dancers come and go, vanishing into the blue shadows at the back of the stage. Kaija Saariaho's cello concerto, Notes on Light, is full of drifting, shimmering sound.
Miyajima's imagery overwhelms the dance inside it. The steps are inconsequential, full of McGregorisms – the arched spine with jutting buttocks, dancers grabbing their ankles to lift a leg still higher, the quick, dithering shifts of weight. This time, they're danced without McGregor's usual urgency. Eric Underwood ties Sarah Lamb into long-legged knots. The duet uses Lamb's strength and flexibility, but it's weirdly insubstantial.
Glen Tetley's pieces are full of muscular grapplings. Sphinx, created in 1977, uses pointework and weighted modern dance in a convoluted story inspired by Cocteau's play La Machine Infernale. Marianela Nuñez is on sensuous form as the Sphinx, who in this version falls for Oedipus (Rupert Pennefather). Anubis, danced with melodramatic intensity by Edward Watson, warns her it will end in disaster.
Tetley treats warning, doubt and love with the same brawny style. His dancers strike big poses, wind around each other and spin into fast turns or big leaps to the intense Martinu score. His symbolism and his narrative are overheated, but the dancers do him proud.
Melissa Hamilton stood out in the pas de deux from Agon, cool and poised in its extreme positions. Balanchine's ballet deserves more care: on the opening night, half the men reached their last pose two beats late.
Over at Sadler's Wells, the return of Mark Morris is cause for rejoicing. One of the world's most-loved choreographers, Morris is adored for his openness, his musicality and his warm, full-bodied style. This UK tour shows Morris back on form, with a programme ranging from lullabies to imperialism.
Empire Garden starts with dancers in near-darkness. There's a prowling softness to their steps, followed by a sudden sideways bend. At once, you can see the strength and style of this company. Danced to a Charles Ives trio for violin, cello and piano, it's a dense, knotted work to dense, complex music.
The dancers break from marching struts into jazz dance poses. Ives' snatches of folk songs are matched with brief marching steps, vanishing almost before you recognise them.
Bedtime is danced to Schubert lieder. A woman dances a lullaby, her movements floatingly soft. Around her, sleeping dancers shift position, snuggling into the stage. Sleep turns to nightmare with the final song, "Erlkönig", which acts out the tale of a child stolen by a magic creature. Morris's response to the words is both abstract and precise. The corps whirl around the father and son, like the storm, and group around the Erlking like a grove of trees. As the child, David Leventhal is intrigued and scared by the Erlking.
V isn't one of my favourite Morris works. The scampering lacks the lovely spontaneity of Morris's best work, while he's pedantic about picking out musical motifs from his Schumann score. Even here, I love the dancers' crawl. Each prowling step is springy, then sharply cut off. Morris has always chosen dancers who look like real people on stage. Here, they don't look human. That stealthy crawl turns them into insects, lizards, something alien.
Royal Ballet, to 18 November (020 7304 4000); Mark Morris, touring to 21 November (www.worldwidedanceuk.com)Reuse content

The Patterson Mansion (also known as the Patterson House or the Washington Club) is a historic Neoclassical-style mansion located at 15 Dupont Circle NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States. It was built by Robert Wilson Patterson, editor of the Chicago Tribune newspaper, and used by him and his family for entertaining when he was in the city. Completed in 1903, it was deeded to the American Red Cross in 1948. The Red Cross sold it to the Washington Club in 1951. The structure was renovated and a small, two-story addition added in 1955. As of December 2013, the property was up for sale after plans to convert it into a boutique hotel fell through.[2] In June 2014, the Washington Club sold the Mansion for $20 Million to developer SB-Urban. The Washington Club sold the property because "it is disbanding and no longer needs the space, according to John Matteo, an attorney at Jackson & Campbell, who represented the club in the sale."[3]
The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1972.[1] It is a contributing property to both the Dupont Circle Historic District (added to the National Register in 1978)[4] and the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District (added to the National Register in 1974).[5]

The Dupont Circle site[edit]
Washington, D.C., was founded in 1789. The L'Enfant Plan established the route of Massachusetts Avenue in the city, and called for the construction of a traffic circle named "Pacific Circle" where Dupont Circle is today. Massachusetts Avenue ended a short distance after passing Sheridan Circle until a bridge over Rock Creek was completed in 1904. Much of Massachusetts Avenue NW passed through marshy areas that restricted development, and this included the area around Dupont Circle. After the American Civil War, several large mansions were built around Dupont Circle as much of the area was still forested and afforded privacy.[6]
In 1871, major development began around Dupont Circle. That year, a group of mine owners from the Western United States, led by Curtis J. Hillyer and Senator William Morris Stewart, purchased $600,000 of land around Dupont Circle.[7] A large number of palatial residences, including Stewart's Castle, were soon constructed on and around the circle.[6][8] In response to this politically influential group's demands, the city made major improvements to Massachusetts Avenue NW and to Connecticut Avenue NW. The traffic circle at the intersection of Massachusetts and Connecticut, enclosed by a rough wooden fence since the 1860s, saw major improvements. The circle was landscaped, pedestrian paths laid, and drinking fountains and gas street lighting added. Known as "Pacific Circle", it was renamed Dupont Circle in 1882 when the site was chosen for a statue to Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont that was erected in 1884.[8]
Building the house[edit]
On March 30, 1900, Robert Wilson Patterson's wife, Elinor "Nellie" Medill Patterson, purchased the lot at 15 Dupont Circle for $83,406 ($2,223,233 in 2017 dollars) from a Mrs. Anna Howell Stewart.[9][10] Mrs. Patterson hired the noted architect Stanford White, who designed the Patterson's home in Chicago, to develop plans for the house.[11] They were finalized in April 1901.[12] The George A. Fuller Company[13] began construction in June 1901.[14] The home was nearly completed 18 months later. But on November 15, 1902, four days before her son Joseph's wedding to Alice Higinbotham, paint cans in the attic of the north wing of the house caught fire. Although the house suffered fire and water damage,[15] it was repaired and the entire structure house completed by January 1903.[14][16]
Estimated to cost $85,000 ($2,265,722 in 2017 dollars),[13] its final cost was $200,000 ($5,331,111 in 2017 dollars).[17]
Although the Pattersons moved into the home in January 1903, the first party to which large members of the public were invited was not held until February 1904, when Nellie Patterson hosted a gigantic cotillion ball for social debut of her daughter, Eleanor Josephine Medill "Cissy" Patterson.[18]
History of the house[edit]
From 1902 to 1922, Nellie Patterson kept a full staff of about 10 to 15 servants, dressed in livery, to provide services to the family and guests at the Patterson Mansion.[19] Her husband, Robert Wilson Patterson, died in 1910.
Nellie Patterson spent less and less time in the Dupont Circle mansion over the years, preferring her long-time home in Chicago. She became morbidly obese, then suffered a heart attack and lost a significant amount of weight. In September 1922, Cissy Patterson (herself spending more time at her other homes and abroad) allowed her daughter, Felicia, and her new husband, Drew Pearson, to take up residence in the mansion.[20] Nellie Patterson vacated 15 Dupont Circle for good in 1923, never to return,[21] and deeded the property to Cissy that same year.[22] Although Cissy formally took up residence there in 1923,[23] she spent most of her time elsewhere. The house was barely occupied from 1923 to 1929,[24] as the Pearsons left for Asia in 1925 and never returned to the home.[25] Cissy Patterson's divorce from her first husband, Count Josef Gizycki, was finalized in 1917. She married New York City lawyer Elmer Schlesinger in 1925, but used the mansion little in the years afterward.[26][27]
The Patterson Mansion was the home of President Calvin Coolidge and his wife, Grace Coolidge in 1927. The White House needed extensive renovation which rendered it unliveable while construction occurred. In February 1927, Cissy Patterson offered them the use of her empty home.[28] The Coolidges stayed in the house from March 4, 1927, to June 13, 1927, after which they left for an extended vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota.[29][30][31] Mrs. Coolidge found the rooms, which slanted slightly due to the odd shape of the lot, cramped. She felt the house was far better designed when it came to entertaining.[32]
From June 10 to June 12, 1927, Charles Lindbergh was a guest of the Coolidges at the Patterson Mansion upon his triumphant return from France after his non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean piloting the aircraft Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh's mother, Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh, also stayed in the mansion during this time.[33] The house was besieged by crowds every day he spent in the nation's capital. On June 11, Lindbergh appeared three times at the second floor balcony to wave and briefly speak to the crowd.[34] Some of the most iconic photos of Lindbergh were taken during his balcony appearances.[35]
After Cissy Patterson reoccupied the mansion full-time in 1929, it became a center of social life in Washington, D.C.[11] The home was decorated in Patterson's unique style. This included the heads and pelts of 13 big-game animals (deer, moose, mountain lion, and mountain goat, and others) hanging on the walls of the main staircase. The ballroom was decorated in the Louis Quinze style, with a life-size portrait of Nellie Patterson and furniture in blue, pink, and white colors. The walls of the second floor dining room were painted a deep red, and the furniture was mahogany. The second floor library was lined with bookcases[30] and decorated with Chinese artwork.[36] In front of each bedroom suite fireplace on the third and fourth floors were an animal skin rug. The second floor bedroom suite in the northeast corner of the house was painted in red.[30]
Cissy Patterson originally willed the house to her daughter, Felicia. But after a family argument in 1942,[37] Cissy changed her will and asked that the mansion be donated to the League of Republican Women of the District of Columbia.[38] She changed her mind again in 1946 and left it to the American Red Cross.[14]
Post-Patterson owners[edit]
Cissy Patterson died on July 24, 1948.[39] Her will donated the building and most of its furnishings to the American Red Cross (ARC).[40] (Family portraits and silverware were not included.)[41] Cissy's daughter, Felicia Gizycka (who had divorced Pearson and taken her father's last name), received an income of $25,000 a year; a house and property in Port Washington, New York; property in North Dakota; and a substantial amount of jewelry, paintings, furnishings, and family heirlooms.[42]
Felicia Gizycka challenged the will on September 13, 1948. Gizycka claimed it was not the last will signed by her mother, that Cissy was of unsound mind and under undue influence, and that the witnesses had not signed the will correctly.[42] Over the next few months, the case took a number of twists and turns, including the suicide of a former beneficiary, an alleged break-in at the Gizycka home, and a number of accusations made by both sides in the dispute.[43] Seven previous wills and two current codicils were discovered.[37] The existence of so many other wills (all of which pre-dated the 1946 will), none of which substantially benefitted Felicia Gizycka, led to extensive legal maneuvers. A trial was set for January 18, 1949, and then moved to February 9.[44] On January 28, 1949, a settlement in the case was reached by the parties. Under the new agreement, Felicia Gizycka received $400,000 from the estate (with the heavy state and federal inheritance and income taxes paid by the estate), along with the New York and North Dakota properties. In return, she gave up the right to inherit personal property, which would be used to help pay taxes. The settlement did not disturb the provisions of the will donating the Patterson Mansion and its contents to the Red Cross, but did allow the will to be probated and the deed transferred.[45]
The Red Cross, however, had no use for the Patterson Mansion. The organization had a magnificent structure, the Neoclassical American Red Cross National Headquarters at 430 17th Street NW (completed in 1917), which served as its national headquarters. Furthermore, on July 1, 1947, Congress enacted legislation (P.L. 100-637) donating federal land along the north side of E Street NW between 20th and 21st Streets for a new District of Columbia Chapter headquarters. The national organization had already committed $700,000 to build this structure.[40]
The Red Cross decided to sell the mansion instead. It opened the house to the public in April 1949 to build public interest in a forthcoming auction of the home's many furnishings.[24][46] The auction raised little interest. The Red Cross put the building and its furnishings up for sale in November 1949 with a $700,000 asking price ($7,046,014 in 2017 dollars).[24]
The property lingered on the market until the Washington Club, a private women's club, bought the Patterson Mansion on January 11, 1951.[47] The purchase price was not immediately disclosed, but later was discovered to be just $450,000 ($4,152,115 in 2017 dollars).[24] After a title search was completed, the deed transferred on March 1, 1951.[14] Included among the furnishings in the home were several Gobelins, Flemish, and French tapestries and a large amount of period furniture.[24] After some renovations to bring the structure in line with current fire codes, the Washington Club occupied the building on November 8, 1951.[36][48] The club rented out the second and third floor bedrooms and their associated suites of rooms to club members.[36] The third reception room, once Felicia Gizycka's bedroom and known as the Countess Room, was renamed the "Dorothy Betts Marvin Room" in honor of Washington Club president Dorothy Marvin, wife of George Washington University president Cloyd H. Marvin.[48]
In 1956, the Washington Club constructed a two-story addition on the east side of the Patterson Mansion. The windows on the first and second floor on the east side were walled up, and three new doors cut on the first floor to provide access to the addition. Two doors were cut on the second floor. A butler's pantry, kitchen prep area, toilet, elevator entrance hall, and banquet hall were built on the ground floor. Stairwells were added on the four corners of the addition. A reception room and small toilet were constructed on the south end of the second of the addition, while a large auditorium occupied the central section. A stage, dressing rooms, and storage area were built on the north end of the second floor.[13]
2013 sale[edit]
The Washington Club put the Patterson Mansion up for sale in the summer of 2013 with a $26 million asking price. French Quarter Hospitality agreed to purchase the property on October 20, 2013, provided it won approval for renovation and expansion of the property from relevant local government authorities. French Quarter hired Studio 3877 Architects to design a six-story addition to wrap around the rear of the structure.[49] The lower floors of this addition were taller than the upper floors, and it would be attached to the mansion itself.[50] Plans by the company called for the Patterson Mansion's first two floors to be turned into a bar, lounges, and a restaurant, and the two upper floors to become hotel rooms. The two-story addition, the company said, would be torn down.[49] Historic preservationists applauded the move, which would have preserved the original floor plan and opened up much of the historic mansion to the public.[2]
The District of Columbia Historic Preservation Review Board ruled on November 9, 2013, that the original mansion was historic, but declined to give historic protection to the 1956 addition. This removed a major obstacle to the demolition of the 1956 addition.[51] The sale to French Quarter fell through in early December 2013 after the Historic Preservation Review Board denied approval for the six-story addition, saying it would destroy the historic character of the mansion. The Dupont Current newspaper reported on December 11 that another buyer had emerged, but no details were provided (although the property was rumored to be turned into an embassy or luxury condominiums).[2]
In February 2014, real estate developer SB-Urban agreed to buy the Patterson Mansion if the city approved its plan to subdivide the structure into "micro-unit" apartments (units 400 square feet (37 m2) or smaller). The building's ballrooms and other spaces would become common areas. SB-Urban said it, too, wanted to tear down the non-historic addition. It proposed a seven-story new addition as well, but its addition would have uniform floors and be distant enough from the mansion that there would a "visual separation" from it.[50] The Historic Preservation Review Board approved SB-Urban's design for an eight-story addition in late February 2014 after finding that revised designs provided enough visual distinction between the existing building and the to-be-constructed addition. SB-Urban obtained a $31 million investment from CBD LLC, a District-based real estate investment firm, in August 2015. The two companies, which formed a joint venture to renovate the mansion, said they planned 92 mini-apartments for the site, with shared living space, an on-site chef providing meals, meeting space, a private wine cellar, and a fully staffed private bar in the mansion's ballroom. Hartman-Cox Architects is designing the renovation and addition.[52]
About the building[edit]
The exterior[edit]
The mansion is in the Neoclassical style,[16][53] with exterior Italianate decorative motifs.[54] Some sources call it Italianate in style rather than Neoclassical.[55]
The building is set on a polygonal lot. It is 128 feet 10 inches (39.27 m) on the P Street (south) side, 64 feet 6 inches (19.66 m) on the curved Dupont Circle side (southwest), 164 feet 9 inches (50.22 m) on the northwest side, and 132 feet 9 inches (40.46 m) on the east side. The building faces southwest, and a semi-elliptical concrete driveway connects P Street and Dupont Circle to provide access to the main entrance.[56] The driveway creates a small forecourt.[57]
The building is four stories high, with a basement. It is 60 feet (18 m) high from sidewalk to roof ridgeline. The main entrance is set back from the southwest corner, at an obtuse angle. It is a loggia one bay wide and 8 feet (2.4 m) deep. The Dupont Circle and P Street sides are both three bays wide and 39 feet (12 m) in length. The east wall is 83 feet (25 m) in length. The rest of the building consists of walls set at an obtuse angle, perpendicular, or parallel to an east–west axis. The foundations consist of concrete footings and slab.[58]
The first floor exterior wall consists of limestone quoins[16] at the corner and stone coursing.[58] A string course with Greek decorative carving is set between the first and second floors, and acts as the window sill for the second floor windows and as the balustrade for the entrance loggia.[16][58] The second and third floor exterior walls have stone quoins as well. Between each window on the second floor is a panel inlaid with variegated marble and surrounded by egg-and-dart moldings.[16][57][58] The base of the panel is decorated with scrollwork, and the top by a bas-relief urn.[16][58] Five fruit-shaped clusters decorate the outside frame of the furthermost window on this floor (the lowest cluster supported by a tiny putto), while above each window is a false pediment topped by an escutcheon flanked by drapery.[16][58] Variegated marble panels are set between each window on the third floor as well, the bottom of each decorated with scrollwork and a small dramatic mask.[16][57][58] The sill of each third floor window is of scrollwork, while the window is topped by scrollwork and a torch.[16][58] Circular medallions with pendants decorate the outside frame of the furthermost window on the third floor. A bas-relief putto stands atop each medallion and panel, supporting fruit swags.[16][58] Between the third and fourth (or attic) floors is a molding decorated with repetitive small eggs[58] which serves as the sill for the fourth floor windows.[16] The truncated hipped roof slightly overhangs the walls. The cornice is decorated with dentils and acanthus carvings beneath the roofline. The roof, originally red tile, was changed at some point to asbestos roof shingles with copper flashing. There are seven chimneys on the roof,[16] and about five skylights on the flat section.[59]
The entrance is reached by three limestone steps.[59] The architrave of the entrance loggia is topped by a fruit-and-swag draped escutcheon.[58] Smooth, variegated marble double-columns, topped by composite capitals, stand above the architrave.[57][59][60] The entrance originally featured French doors,[58] but were replaced by black enameled doors decorative by bas-relief wreaths.[16][59]
The second-floor balcony is framed on either end by pilasters decorated with candelabra.[16][61] Each wall is angled inward by two bays, with one of the bays behind the balustrade. It is reached via French doors which are framed by slit windows on either side.[16][59] Pilasters decorated with candelabra are set between the four windows and the doors. A circular escutcheon framed with fruit-and-drapery swags tops each bay and the Frenc doors, while fruit-and-drapery swags link the pilaters over the slit windows.[16][61]
The third floor balcony is reached through French doors (framed with slit windows) as well.[16][59] It features a low balustrade of turned granite interrupted by pedestals, which are decorated with variegated marble panels.[16][59] The placement of the pedestals mimics the pillars and pilasters below.[16] The two bay windows on either side of the balcony feature the same torches, swag, putti, panels, and molding similar to the rest of the third floor. Above the French doors is a large oval estucheon with fruit-and-drapery swag which mimics the estucheon over the doors to the loggia.[16][58] A standing putto over each slit window supports the swag.[58]
All exterior walls are faced with white marble over stone.[16][57][58] All windows are double-hung. The first floor windows feature black wrought iron grillwork.[16][59] The fourth floor windows have no decorative exterior elements.[59]
The interior: First floor[edit]
The interior is constructed of load-bearing brick walls.[59] The lighting is electric, and the heating system is gravity-rise.[59][62]
The northwest wing was angled to align with Dupont Circle, while the rest of the house (south wing, center, northeast wing) was on a north–south axis perpendicular to P Street NW. The vestibule behind the loggia was on a northeast–southwest axis, and flanked on both sides by toilets—one of which was accessible by the billiard room to the northwest and the other by the reception hall to the southeast. The entrance hall was floored with polished terrazzo bordered by white marble. The ceiling was white plaster, and the walls were white plaster with a 6-inch (15 cm) high wooden baseboard. The billiard room was access by a door in the west wall, and in the north-northwest corner was a door leading to a cloakroom.[63] To the right of the cloakroom door is a fireplace framed by exquisite moldings and a mantelpiece in the 15th-century Italian style.[16][63] In the south wall, a door gave entry to the reception hall. Two marble steps led to a small landing and then the main staircase in the east wall (northeast corner). Adjacent to the main staircase to the right (south) was the elevator, and then a small door and corridor giving onto the servants' section in the rear of the mansion's first floor. Northwest of the billiard room was an automobile garage, with the garage door giving onto Dupont Circle. Northeast of the garage, and connected to the garage and the cloakroom, was a bicycle storage room. In the rear of the ground floor was the servants' area. Clockwise from the north, this consisted of the laundry and storage closets, servants' entrance, kitchen, pantry, serving room, butler's room, and servants' hall. A set of winder stairs behind the elevator serves as the servants' stairs.[63]
The first floor reception hall had white plaster walls and ceiling, carpeted floors, and a 6-inch (15 cm) high wooden baseboard. A fireplace existed in the west wall.[64]
The billiard was similar to the reception hall, although it featured a dado rail 2 feet 6 inches (0.76 m) off the floor. Its walls were wood paneling (into which built-in bookcases were added after 1951). It featured a chimney in the south wall. This fireplace was much plainer than those in the rest of the house, and its mantel consisted of a sand-cast concrete mantel in the Georgian style.[65]
The mainstaircase was flanked by smooth, variegated marble columns in antis. Ten marble steps lead up to a landing. In the east wall of the intermediate landing is a fountain. The stairs diverge at the intermediate landing, with nine more steps on the north and south leading to the second floor landing. The stringer, risers, and treads are all made of marble. The banister is of cast iron in a rinceau and cartouche pattern,[16] with a handrail encased in red velvet.[65]
The staircase fountain is made of white marble with grey and tan veins. The semi-circular bowl is supported by an eagle with outspread wings. Water pours from the mouth of a faun, above which is perched a swan in bas-relief. Decorated pilasters on either side of the fountain support a plain freize, above which is an inset fan capped by an acroterion.[66]
The interior: Second floor[edit]
The second floor layout is much simpler than the first floor. Ceilings throughout the floor are 12 feet 4 inches (3.76 m) high. The main staircase led to a foyer with a wood parquet floor in a herringbone pattern. The walls were plaster panels, separated by fluted marble pilasters on wood pedestals. The ceiling is white plaster with decorative moldings.[67]
In the northwest corner was the library, accessed by double-panel wood doors with carved wood moldings around it. The flooring was similar to that of the foyer, and the ceiling of plaster. The walls were plaster, with a 7.5 inches (19 cm) wooden baseboard and a dado rail at 3 feet (0.91 m). The room was originally lined with bookcases. A fireplace with marble hearth and mantel, surrounded by exquisite marble and plaster moldings, was in the northwest wall.[68]
In the foyer, to the right of the door leading to the library, was a set of plain marble stairs with an intermediate landing and single turn which lead to the third floor. Behind the steps was a conservatory with a bay window facing northwest. From the intermediate landing, a door in the northeast wall gave out onto an orchestra balcony overlooking the ballroom.[69] The base of the balcony is decorated with corbels, plaster drapery, and guttae.[70]
The ballroom occupied the entire north wing. It was accessed via the foyer through glass doors. The ballroom ceiling was plaster. Its flooring was oak parquetry in a herringbone pattern with plaster walls, a 6 inches (15 cm) wooden baseboard, and a dado rail at 3 feet (0.91 m). Flanking the doors, chimney, and windows and in the corners of the room were marble pilasters on wooden pedestals.[70][71] The west wall was bowed westward, to accommodate the orchestra balcony as it projected into the room. The room was lit by 10 brass wall sconces with three upward curving torch-arms. Hanging from the ceiling were three, 12-light crystal chandeliers with three hidden tiers. The fireplace in the east wall featured a cast iron firebox, framed by marble pilasters. It had a marble mantel, and a mirror overmantel in an 18th-century English style.[71]
Behind the main stairs was a shaft, allowing the skylight to shine down to the first floor, and another butler's pantry.
A dining room occupied the south part of the second floor. Its flooring consisted of 6 by 6 inches (15 by 15 cm) square flame maple wood parquetry, with a 5.5 inches (14 cm) wooden baseboard, and a dado rail at 3 feet (0.91 m). Its walls and ceiling were plaster, with a decorative molding around the ceiling. The doors were similar to those of the library, and in the east wall was a fireplace with iron firebox and marble mantel in the Georgian style. The room was lit by six mirror-backed cystal wall sconces with three crystal torch-arms. A single 12-light crystal chandelier with two hidden light tiers and an elaborate brass canopy hung from the ceiling.[72]
The interior: Third and fourth floors[edit]
Bedroom suites occupied the second and third floors. Each suite consisted of a bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom.[30] There were three suites on the third floor, and one on the fourth floor.
Changes to the original building[edit]
The building has undergone modest internal changes since its construction. Almost all previous owners have made changes.
In 1927, the Washington Post reported that the house had 30 rooms and 10 bathrooms.[30] This does not appear to have changed by the time of Cissy Patterson's death, as there were still 40 rooms in 1948.[40] Although the northeast room on the first floor was originally a billiard room, by 1927 Cissy Patterson had changed it into a small library.[30] Cissy Patterson's changes also include extending the wine cellar outward beneath the driveway by a distance of 10 feet (3.0 m) in 1917.[13] In March 1935, she hired the Otis Elevator Company to install an elevator and had the electrical power switched to AC from DC.[13]
The Washington Club also made many changes to the house. Renovations included adding new doors, removing old doors to create portals, and new wiring, plumbing, plastering, and carpeting.[36] In order to allow club members to use the upper bedrooms as private apartments, the staircase from the second floor foyer to the third floor was partitioned off.[13][36] An exterior concrete stair leading from the former conservatory to the ground floor (for use as a fire escape) was also added. The garage was partitioned, an elevator added just inside the garage doors, and toilets added against the shared wall with the first floor billiard room (which now became the library). The first floor servants' hall was partitioned as well to create an office and corridor.[13][36] The second floor library was turned into a drawing room[36] and its plaster walls covered over with walnut paneling.[16][36] Felicia Grizycka's bedroom suite on third floor was turned into reception/board room.[36]
Most significantly, the Washington Club closed off all the east wall windows on first and second floors. A two-story addition was constructed on the east side in 1956. New doors were cut through the walls on the first floor from the servants' hall and kitchen, and the east wall of the pantry removed to provide access to the addition. On the second floor, new doors were cut from the butler's pantry and south of the fireplace in the ballroom. Another door was cut in the north wall near the northeastern corner to provide access to a new exterior concrete fire escape stairs. A dining room and foyer were constructed on the first floor of the addition, and a meeting room and reception room on second floor.[13]
The Washington Club did not, however, alter the main marble staircase, its wrought iron balustrade with red velvet banister, or the fountain on intermediate landing between the first and second floors.[36]
The Patterson Mansion was renovated again in 1985. The renovation was overseen by Oerhlein & Associates Architects.[57][73]

Happy Anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Melvin Tausch (48 years!). Don Maxwell to )reak ground today at 4 p.m. By ROGER CROTEAU City Editor Don Maxwell's Chevy New Braunfels Chevrolet-Geo breaks ground at its new location that will be one-third bigger than its current home this afternoon at 4 p.m. The deanship is located at 386 W. San Antonio St. and will move to the east side of Interstate 35, between the Seguin Street and Walnut Street exits. Owner Don Maxwell said he started looking for a larger location about 18 months ago. "We need a larger facility, and we are landlocked at our current facility, so we can't get any bigger here," he said. The seven-acre site at 725 IH-35 South will house a 32,000 square foot building. "Our community's business base has shifted ... towards the area where Wal-Mart, Target and HEB have moved to," he said. "It made sense for us to go to where our customers are going and spending their money already. And being on the highway gives us increased visibility to people driving through." Maxwell said the new site will offer several other advantages, such as easier access, better ability to control hazardous wastes from painting operations and petroleum storage, and reduced runoff from parking lots. He said the target date for opening the new location is the first week of July. Business After Hours scheduled Fob. 23 The monthly Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce' "Business After Hours" membership mixer will be held at Kraft Mobiletel, 679 S. Seguin St. on Thursday, Feb. 23 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The mixer is an opportunity for chamber members to make new contacts and exchange ideas with other members of the business community.

Heratd-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Two Guadalupe County Democrats announce move to Republican side By BOB THAXTON Special to the Herald-Zeitung SEGUIN - Guadalupe County Distnct Judge Dwight E. Peschel and Distnct Attorney W.C. "Bud" Kirkendall have announced that they are changing their political affiliation to the Republican Party. They addressed a gathering this week at Guadalupe County Republican headquarters in the Plaza Building where they were welcomed to the GOP by County Chairman Ed Baxter, former Chairman Tom Schoolcraft, and former state Rep. Henry Fletcher. After the event in Seguin, they traveled to Austin where Gov. George W. Bush, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, and State Chairman Tom Pauken welcomed more than 20 distnct, county and local officeholders switching parties. "I'm very grateful for their decision lining up with the true 'People's party,'" Fletcher told the local gathering. "We know that the so-called 'people's party' has left the people," he said, recounting his own change of affiliation "six or seven years ago" after serving in the Texas Legislature as a Democrat. Fletcher said conservatives no longer have any place to go other than the Republican Party, and Baxter concurred, saying conservative officeholders like Kirkendall and Peschel hadn't left the Democratic Party but rather the party had left them "I think the Democratic Party left them some time ago," Baxter said. Peschel announced that he would seek re-election in 1996 as a Republican. Formerly an assistant distnct attorney on Kirkendall's staff, Peschel won the Democratic nomination for judge of the 25th Distnct in a party primary Fraser, Kahlig to appear before Judge Joe Dibrell Judge may rule on suit in today's trial By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Stat! Writer Mayor Paul E. Fraser Jr. and Gary Kahlig will appear in district court today in a trial before Judge Joe Dibrell. Dibrell may rule on the lawsuit Gary Kahlig filed against Fraser on Fnday, June IO. Witnesses have been subpeonaed by the distnct clerk to appear at the trial. No jury will be present Kahlig alleged in his suit that election irregulanties had made the May 7 election invalid. Among the allegations were that illegal votes had been cast for Fraser in the Dist. 4 election. Kahlig ran against Fraser in that election. City to have another hotel in near future runoff in April, 1992 and subsequently was appointed to the post by Gov. Ann Richards. He was elected to a full four-year term in November, 1992. "It was not an easy decision nor made in haste," Peschel told the local gathenng. "But we, the people of Texas, have always been conservative, and the Republican Party best represents that philosophy today." Peschel said a bipartisan group of supporters worked for his election in 1992 and had pledged their continued support in 1996. "They know that I will be the same person tomorrow that I was yesterday, working to do the best job I can as a judge, representing all the people in the 25th Distnct," Peschel said. Kirkendall said that for many years people in Texas and the 25th Distnct w ith conservative beliefs like himself had found like-minded people in the Democratic Party. "Today, as demonstrated in the last several elections, conservatives have largely entered the Republican Party to such an extent that the political views that I hold so dear are much more adequately reflected by membership in the Republican Party," he said. Kirkendall also said that he hoped Texas someday would have nonpartisan elections for judicial branch candidates including prosecutors and judges. "Many of the requirements of these offices transcend party." Pauken told the Austin gathenng that Texas is becoming a Republican state "Our party is making significant inroads throughout the state, particularly in rural and medium-size counties which traditionally have voted Republican for the top of the ticket while re-electing Democrats to local office. "What we are seeing is a fundamental realignment here in Texas," Pauken said. The suit asks that either I) Kahlig be declared the winner of the election or 2) the election be declared void and a new election be held. The other possible outcome is that Kahlig's suit will be found invalid. Fraser and Kahlig came before the distnct court on Jan. 25 requesting a summary judgment from Dibrell. That would have brought the lawsuit to a quick resolution. The judge refused to rule at that time. Name of hotel chain not yet determined By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Another hotel will spnng up to house New Braunfels tourists in the near future, said Andrew Ozuna of Great American Companies. A hotel is planned for the tract of land on 1-35 behind the new McDonald's (1-35 near Walnut) by Great American in partnership Victor Botrie of Houston. "The tract is about 2.56 acres, about 18,500 square feet," said Ozuna. The hotel is planned to have 150 rooms. What brand of hotel it will be has yet to be determined. The partnership owns several "pads" or adjoining properties to the hotel tract. They want to build a restaurant on one of the pads. "It will be a sit-down breakfast type of restaurant," said Ozuna. A schedule for the hotel's construction is not yet solidified, but "the timetable is ASAP," said Ozuna. It's no secret that New Braunfels is host to a multitude of tourists in the summer. A hotel room is hard to come by during the peak tourist times. Does the city need more hotels? "During the summer we could use more hotels — no ifs, ands or buts," said Jim Scheele, Jr. of the New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau. Not only does New Braunfels need hotels, but a certain type of hotel would help boost the convention trade, said Scheele. "There's not one hotel in New Braunfels that can handle a convention of 500 people," he said. To house a convention, the hotel needs to have a large enough meeting room and, ideally, a restaurant. "We can now handle the group of 50, 75, 150," said Scheele. Conventions can mean a real boost to the local economy, especially during the leaner "off-season" times. "We'd certainly like to have a bigger piece of the pie," said Scheele. New Braunfels can be appealing as convention destination because of the lower taxes, lower crime rate and casual atmosphere, said Scheele. In July New Braunfels hotels, bed & breakfasts etc. are 96.6 percent full, said Scheele. But that figure falls off sharply in the off-season so that the yearly average occupancy is only 50.1 percent. So there's a desire for a hotel in New Braunfels and developer is ready to invest in one. Why not just build it? If you want your hotel to be a nationally known chain it turns out to be not so simple. The hotel chains, such as Quality Inn, Holiday Inn, etc., can choose their locations. So developers and cities court the hotel chains. Hotel chains have an equation for accepting or rejecting a certain location, said Becky O'Rourke of Choice Hotels International, which manages Clarion, Quality, Comfort, Sleep, Friendship and Rode way Inns, and Econo Lodge. They look for two "demand generators'' such as a tourist destination, a university, airport, convention center, etc., said O'Rourke. "There has to be a reason for people coming in and out of a particular spot," she said. Retama will be additional attraction By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Put Saturday, May 20 on your calendar. That's when Retama Raceway will hold the New Braunfels Stakes, said Retama Marketing Director Joe Straus III. "In the fall when we're running the quarter horses during Wurstfest — we'll tTy to tie in with that as well," he said. The new horse racing facility will open its gates April 7, said Straus. Naming the New Braunfels Stakes will be the beginning of a friendly and mutually profitable relationship between Retama and New Braunfels. "They're very interested in working with the Chamber of Commerce," said Jim Scheele of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Packages with New Braunfels hotels, restaurants and the racetrack are possible joint efforts. "Retama will be another year-round attraction for New Braunfels," said Scheele. Retama offers a new type of night-time amenity for New Braunfels tourists, he said "We're just as close a drive for the summer tourists in New Braunfels as for the convention tourists downtown," said Straus. That played a big role in selecting their location, he said. Being on the 1-35 corridor was a key factor. Retama wants to appeal to a broad spectrum of age groups, said Straus. He believes the night time races in the spring and fall will attract a younger crowd, while the traditional daytime races will pull in a different audience. Many developers are thinking Retama's close proximity to New Braunfels will bring more hotels and restaurants to the city. 'Thgr*'» not one hotel in Now Braunfels that can handla a convention of SOO people.' - Jim Scheele, Jr. Convention & Visitors Bureau _GNBCC Just as in any other real estate, it's "location, location, location," said Scheele. What the decision really boils down to is a number called "revenue per available room." "That's the key number that will make or break the decision," said O'Rourke. Several factors go into figuring revenue per available room how many rooms, the rate per room, amenities, non-room spaces — but most importantly occupancy rate. "The number one reason a hotel will or will not move into a community is the occupancy level," said Scheele. O'Rourke would not divulge the minimum occupancy rate Choice Hotels would accept in order to build "That rate is a closely guarded secret among many of the hotel chains," said Scheele. Victor Borne and Great American, the developers hoping to put another hotel in New Braunfels, appear to have their work cut out for them.The Marketplace Classifieds - One-stop shopping five days a weekI J ;

Britain is no longer a nation of shopkeepers. According to the Centre for Retail Research we have become instead a nation of shoplifters. In the 12 months to June this year, customers stole almost £5bn of goods – more than in any other European country. The survey of 42,000 retailers across Europe showed British shoplifting had increased by 20% since 2008 – apparently driven by affluent consumers desperate not to lose their lifestyles in the recession. But if shoplifting has become a middle-class pursuit, would anyone admit to it in the respectable refuge of John Lewis's flagship store in Oxford Street, London?
"When I was eight, I went to Woolworths and stole a little bottle of perfume. I felt really guilty – and I didn't need it or want it. I would never do it again." 66-year-old woman, retired
"I stole cigarettes from my dad's shop when I was younger and couldn't buy them. But I have never stolen from anyone else." 24-year-old woman who works in private healthcare and in a phone shop
"I have a friend who would take her old clothes into Topshop and swap them on the hanger for new ones. She never got caught but, once, the alarm went off. She didn't look like a shoplifter so she got away with it. I once went into Sainsbury's and ate a salad from the salad bar without paying." 18-year-old female gap year student
"We used to steal apples from the orchard, and potatoes from the front of the shop when we were hungry. That was back in Ireland in the 1930s." 78-year-old man from Upminster, Essex
"I stole some Opal Fruits when I was 12, but I felt so guilty I took them back. It was just for the excitement and to do something naughty. What would I be tempted by now? I'm looking for a cooker today, so that would be difficult. But I do hate buying bottles of water, and toilet rolls would be easy to just put in your trolley without paying." 35-year-old male art director
"I got caught stealing sweets when I was nine. I remember being afraid of what my parents would say. When I was 13 I tried it again and was riddled with guilt for days. It was a pair of jeans from a denim shop. I'm far more respectable now." 53-year-old male banker
"I am too goody-goody to steal. Only the really naughty girls at my school did that." 34-year-old female commissioning editor for a TV station

WHOAAA! Okay, first of all, I had added this story in this site for a quite time, but it was barely for someone to find it exists. Anyway, the story is talking about the Prince of China was looked exactly the same as Crane! That's an important point, you know?
And which case, I sort of kinda changed the story a little bit, including the vocabs, grammar (I don't know for sure, but trust me) or something like that. Hope you will enjoy instead of not giving me flames!
I don't own Kung Fu Panda! XD!
At night in the Great Purity City of China, centre of China, there was a Golden Palace, the Great Palace. The whole palace's lights were off but except one. The room appeared a weak female crane lying on the bed, and beside her was Emperor Loung and a young prince who couldn't see his face directly.
"Doctor Daifu, is there nothing we can do?" Emperor Loung, the golden dragon, asked the palace doctor and he shook his head slightly.
He then said, "She has been suffering the curse of Natina."
Natina, the evil artic vixen witch of China, she used to be a good and a kind Palace Fortune teller by using her light magic, but then after she had read the dark magic witchcraft which it stolen many people's youth and eaten the infants and children by using the its magic, the Emperor Loung has banished her into the Forbidden Forest by sparring her life for she had been a fortune teller for the emperor and the people, used to be.
And now, she's taking revenge as she cursed on their dearest queen, Queen Crystal, making her couldn't eat, couldn't doing any movement and sleep well than anyone which made her weak and breaking the people's and emperor's heart.
"Mother…" the young prince whispered. He was the only son of the Emperor Loung and Queen Crystal, he was twenty years old and he was really a hard working boy and knew everything from reading books, except he didn't know anything about teamwork and friendship.
The queen glanced up her eyes weakly and she stared at the prince and said weakly, "Daio, you must stay strong and you must learn about…" before she could finish her words, she slipped into coma.
"Mother…MOTHERRR!!!!!" The prince shook her body violently as there was no respond. He started to cry into his mother's chest. And so as outside of the window, a thunderstorm has arrived.
In the Forbidden Forest
Natina was in an abandoned temple, and saw the whole scene through the crystal ball, she smirked and she let out her evil laugh in satisfied as it echoed the whole forest.
"Everything is going so well…" she murmured. And there were three figures appeared beside her and kneeled in front of her.
"Mistress Natina, what's your command?" one of her warriors spoke.
"We just need to sit back and enjoy the show." She sat on a throne and so she ate internal organs which they came from… children! She enjoyed the taste of youth blood and the flesh of blood.
"But first…" she then spoke, "I must prepare the ingredients for the Lord Sun of Darkness." she said as she vanished in the shadows.
Back to the Palace, the young prince wiped his tears and he said in cold tone, "Father, I have a request."
"What is it, my son?" the Emperor then asked.
"I want to learn kung fu." He said as a thunder flashed as it has lit the whole palace.
Please Read & Review:
"I've got a message from the Emperor Loung." Zeng said.
"We're going to see the Emperor!? Oh my gosh, this is the greatest thing that ever happened in my life!" Po excitedly shouted.

Contact TSA first. You consented to the search so there is no civil rights violation. TSA probably has a claims procedure you will need to follow. A suit for damages could then follow but it won't be a civil rights suit.

Canada's Corus profit triples due to Teletoon buyout
(Reuters) - Canadian media company Corus Entertainment Inc's quarterly profit tripled mainly due to a change in value of its stake in specialty television service Teletoon Canada Inc.
First-quarter net income included a non-cash gain of C$127.9 million ($117.7 million) from a remeasurement in value of Corus's 50 percent stake in Teletoon following its acquisition of the company in September.
Profit rose to C$150.9 million, or C$1.78 per share in the quarter ended November 30, from C$52.2 million, or 62 Canadian cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding the gains from the remeasurement of the Teletoon stake, Corus earned 65 Canadian cents per share.
Analysts on an average had expected earnings of 62 Canadian cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue rose 8 percent to C$226 million.
Corus, which owns 37 radio stations, said revenue from the business fell 8 percent as advertising remained weak.
Television revenue rose about 13 percent to C$177.9 million.
The company, which specializes in television content for women and children, airs shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer on its Nickelodeon (Canada) channel. Continued...
