Gibson Back at Bananas!
FuturePay tabs up to $3,000.
The home of Gibson electric guitars today is "Gibson USA", built in 1974 in Nashville specifically for the production of Gibson's Les Paul guitars. Although the entire guitar industry went through a slump in the late '70s, the spirit of innovation remained strong at Gibson. In response to a growing demand for vintage stylings, Gibson tapped its rich history and reissued the dot-neck version of the ES-335 in 1981 and the flametop sunburst Les Paul in 1982. At the same time, two legendary guitarists joined Gibson - B.B. King in 1980 with the Lucille model and Chet Atkins in 1982 with his new concept of a solidbody acoustic guitar.
Gibson world headquarters moved to Nashville in 1984 with the closing of the Kalamazoo plant. The financially troubled company was rescued in January 1986 by Henry Juszkiewicz and David Berryman, and the new owners quickly restored Gibson's reputation for quality as well as its profitability.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's Montana series of Acoustic Guitars are a lineage of models known world wide and played by the biggest names include J-45, SJ-200, Hummingbird and more. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation. Epiphone instruments represent the same commitment to quality and detail as their USA Gibsom counterparts but made much more affordable.
Bananas is proud to be a stocking dealer of Gibson Custom Shop, Gibson USA, Gibson Memphis, Gibson Nashville, Gibson basses and Epiphone. Contact us for more information and to find out what awesome models are in stock now.

|Minimum Stay

Our cottage has 100 feet of lakefront and is situated on a flat one acre parcel at the north end of Mullett Lake. The large home is great for a family get together or share it with another family. The cottage will comfortably accommodate 14 people. Large eat in kitchen with a dishwasher and 2 refrigerators. The recreation room upstairs has a ping-pong table, foosball, TV,wireless internet and a balcony that overlooks the lake. The lawn on the lakeside extends right down to the sugar sand beach. The house has a big lake view and easy access to the water.
Barbeque and eat outdoors at the picnic table, enjoy water sports or a game of horseshoes and relax. Paddle around in the canoe, float on inner tubes or catch minnows from the dock. There are two buoys for your boats. Enjoy the sunset then watch the stars and the moon while you sit around the fire pit. Beautiful country setting with lakefront living at its best.
The old railroad bike trail is nearby or take your boat to Hack-Ma-Tack, Big Boy or The Boat House Restaurant for a special outing. Bring your clubs, golf is great. Head up north and experience what makes Mullett Lake so special.
Everything was wonderful!! This place and the area brought back childhood memories. Well equipped home, we enjoyed canoeing, fishing, swimming,campfires and much needed family time together. Thank you
This home is great for our large family vacation. This listing description is accurate and thorough. The house and yard were very clean and updates had been made since our last visit. Jeff is conscientious about checking in to make sure our stay is going well. This was our third year staying here and we already have it reserved for next year. We have found our perfect summer vacation destination.
My family and I stayed in June 2016. This vacation rental was a great choice!! The cottage was very spacious, well stocked, and clean. Excellent lake front property with a sandy beach, nice dock, and mooring bouys for a boat. One of the best assets of the rental, is the manager Jeff, he is great to work with! We all had a great time! I would defentely recommend this vacation rental.
My family spent a week in July 2016 and found that this cottage was perfect! The sandy beach and shallow clear water was perfect for the kids, and the mooring for the boats kept our 21' bow rider out of the way of the kids. The cottage was very clean, and maintained very well. The floor plan was perfect for kids to play and adults to talk. Updated décor, with plenty of space for all. We found that the pictures do not do this little slice of heaven justice. The location of the cottage is a quick drive into town for pizza, and by boat right around the corner from the Cheboygan River. Jeff was so helpful with all of our questions. This cottage is so prefect for a family.
This is our 3rd year renting this house and we already booked for next year. This is the perfect spot for big families with young children. The Sandy beaches and shallow water are perfect for little ones. The house is extremely well maintained, clean and full of everything you need! Jeff is ALWAYS avail. If we have questions and calls at arrival and departure to make sure things are going great. It's so nice to know that someone is immediately avail. to answer any questions about the house or location. Our family vacations up north every summer and this is the first place we came back to and we can't see changing that anytime soon. We actually joked about not posting such a great review because it always books up fast and we don't want more people competing for time at the house;)
This is the second year we have stayed at this wonderful lakeside home and we have a week reserved next year too. It's just perfect for our family. The home is well stocked with all of the linens, dishes and cooking utensils you will need. The house is well kept and clean. The lake is shallow for a long way out so our grandchildren can play in it safely. There are lots of lawn chairs and beach toys provided. The dock is great for my husband's 21 foot fishing boat and it was easy for him to anchor it out at night. If the weather is bad we can find lots to do inside: ping pong tournaments, foosball, puzzles, TV and wifi. There are two large refrigerators so we had plenty of room for our perishables and drinks. There are lots of large garbage cans for trash. Too often rentals do not have an adequate number of garbage cans but it's not a problem here. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. The manager, Jeff, was very attentive, calling us several times to make sure we were doing okay. We are looking forward to our week on Mullett Lake in 2016.
Great vacation rental! We had such a nice time that we're renting again next summer!
The house was perfectly located on the water with sand/beach for the kids to play, a fire pit for evening enjoyments for the adults, and nice dock for loading/unloading while boating. The water was clear, the sky was blue and the kids swam every single day!
We enjoyed all the space inside with three kitchen tables, two living/TV spaces downstairs and a fun game room/TV space upstairs with a beautiful Mullett Lake view. It was nice having two refrigerators and a laundry room with lots of counter space - we used it as a pantry!
A special Thank You to Jeff for calling on arrival day to ensure we got in okay; and a call mid-week to ask if we had any questions or concerns that he'd be available. It was a nice touch.
Other Activities: Kayaking, Miniature Golf, Shopping, Rafting, Boating, Wildlife Viewing

text: We have stayed at all the WDW DVC resorts except AKV. We have stayed at BLT 4 times and just got back earlier this week. I find the BLT and Contemporary staff to be below average in attitude and at times just plain rude (except the community hall staff). This includes check in, pool/bar staff, the people who stand in the BLT lobby all day, bell services, quick serve staff at the contemporary pool, pretty much all of them just don't seem to be up to par with the other DVC resort locations staff. Not just the DVC staff but the locations, people at the Boardwalk/Beach&Yacht club overall area (hotel, DVC, quick serve the whole area), OKW, SSR basically every location period on Disney grounds the staff just seems to nicer and have a more pleasant demeanor. Now am I the only one with this perception/experience? We are pretty easy going and laid back people but every time we stay at BLT my wife and I just seem to walk away with that "this staff really isn't friendly" attitude. We have been there 4x's, 1st time was the first Oct of the year it opened and the last time was just last week so I don't chalk it up to one bad experience or just caught them at a bad time. We love the location and it is not a certain bad incident, just not getting a very friendly vibe. Hope that makes sense and not trying to start a war or a "we had the worst experience at resort XYZ and will never go back", just wondering if anyone else gets this "vibe" from the Contemporary area.

Equity Perspectives
Oil: Refining the Investment Opportunities
Amid signs that oil prices may have bottomed out, value and restructuring plays have surfaced in the exploration and production sector. Lord Abbett analysts drill down on the prospects.
In Brief
- World oil supply is high, but starting to contract.
- Oil demand growth was very strong in 2015, and will likely grow in 2016, albeit at a slower pace.
- While many actively managed fixed-income and equity strategies were underweight the oil sector relative to their benchmarks through most of the commodities correction, some shifted to an overweight of the exploration and production (E&P) sub-sector in early 2016.
- Within fixed income, the high-yield debt issues of energy companies with solid assets and liquidity appeared attractive in early 2016.
- On the equities side, small- and mid-cap E&P companies may represent attractive value, while large-cap, integrated oil companies have slashed capital spending to improve cash flow and maintain their dividends.
Has the oil market reached a turning point, as recent media reports suggest? Or is this just a case of misplaced optimism about the current supply/demand imbalance?
"The global oil market remains oversupplied by 1–2%, which makes a big difference to prices, but the amount of oversupply is narrowing," said Yoginder Kak, energy analyst with Lord Abbett's global equity research team. Even so, overleveraged exploration and production (E&P) companies most exposed to the shale boom remain pressured, and demand for oilfield services certainly has shrunk.
"I think you still need to be cautious," said Andrew Bernstein, a Lord Abbett research analyst who covers fixed-income securities in the E&P and services sectors. "Remember last May and June, when oil prices rallied to the high $50s and low $60s [per barrel], only to plummet to a nadir of $26.21 per barrel in mid-February, as Russia and Saudi Arabia pumped near record highs? That prompted companies worldwide to further curtail spending and output plans." And with recent OPEC [Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries] talks on production curbs stalling, so has the sharp rally in crude prices that began in February.
Glut Reaction
Against that backdrop, the glut of U.S. oil is finally showing signs of easing. "We anticipate there should be an acceleration of U.S. production cutbacks as you get to the second half of 2016," said Bernstein. "And that has given the market a psychological boost."
Bullish as that sentiment may sound, many market participants are still waiting for further declines in global oil supply (see Chart 1) amid a massive inventory overhang in all forms of storage and a gradual increase in demand (see Chart 2). Barring some kind of geopolitical disruption, a catalyst for further oil price appreciation may not happen until 2017, which suggests oil could trade between $30–50 per barrel for the next 12–18 months, according to some market watchers.
"While production is coming down, you always have to be wary that if the price gets ahead of itself, some companies will lock in hedges [in the futures market], and then bring rigs back into service," said Bernstein. "If they start producing again, the supply problem could stretch out even further."
Economic improvement in China, the biggest consumer of crude oil after the United States, might help. So would a pickup in emerging-market economies linked to growth in China. Whether such increased demand is offset by Iran's plans to ramp up oil production is another matter.
It remains to be seen if Iran can get all its curtailed oil (approximately 500,000 barrels per day) back on the market. "Even if they do, it's difficult for many countries to import Iranian crude," said Bernstein. "One challenge is finding the necessary trade financing, given the many regulations on doing business with Iran." U.S. banks, for example, cannot fund international entities that want to import Iranian crude. And there are all kinds of debates about the ultimate destination for such crude and how it will get on ships."

Re-thinking E&P
While a number of actively-managed fixed-income strategies were underweight the oil sector through most of the commodities correction, some shifted to an overweight of E&P in early 2016, as the high-yield issues of companies with solid long-term fundamentals and no trigger for default appeared attractive.
A number of the high-yield bonds issued by these companies rallied in April, but active managers with rigorous research discipline continue to see opportunity.
"Some companies with elevated debt-to-EBITDA ratios are being disproportionately penalized by the market. However, a number of these companies are actually somewhat interesting as they have good assets, and will not go into bankruptcy simply due to a leverage ratio of seven or eight times," Bernstein said. "A company goes bankrupt if it runs out of liquidity…"
Suppose a company has a highly levered balance sheet, but sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through at least 2017. That scenario might appeal to investors who envision that oil supply and demand eventually will reach some sort of equilibrium, boosting prices beyond the current trading range. "If you believe that, then these companies should be able to delever organically over time," Bernstein added.
Dressed for Distress
According to the law firm Haynes and Boone, 59 North American oil and gas producers have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015. (See Chart 3.) These bankruptcies involve approximately $22.5 billion in cumulative secured and unsecured debt. Seventeen of those producers filed for bankruptcy so far this year (as of April 3, 2016), and all indications suggest many more producer bankruptcy filings will occur during 2016, Haynes and Boone reports.
For some fixed-income portfolio managers, all that distress creates potential investment opportunities – many firms are involved with the creditor committees of various troubled companies that are seeking to restructure their finances.
One method under discussion is what's known as a prepackaged bankruptcy ("prepack"), whereby a company files a plan of reorganization that already has been accepted by creditors.
Suppose, for example, that a company has solid assets, an overleveraged balance sheet, and a relatively simple capital structure—meaning there's a bank credit facility and maybe one series of bonds.
In one prepack scenario, bondholders might be willing to swap their senior claims on the company's assets in return for reorganized equity with considerable upside potential in a new capital structure. This complexity highlights the importance of sector specialists evaluating such opportunities. This type of restructuring would right size the capital structure, eliminate a large amount of interest expense, and enable the company to operate at least near free cash flow neutral until commodity prices rebound.
"Prepacks are very dynamic," Bernstein said. "There are lots of factors at play, such as competing interests between creditor and equity committees, as well as management teams that are seeking a portion of the reorganized equity as compensation to run the business going forward."

Shale versus "Big Oil"
On the equities side, one investment theme has been to focus on small- and mid-cap E&P companies in shale regions that were selling at a discount during a down cycle—producers with good underlying assets that can survive even if the slump were to drag on.
"Purely picking the cheapest valuation companies hasn't worked in the E&P space for the last several years, because there have been sustainable differences in asset quality," said Kak. "Companies with good asset positions have in general continued to do well, and the ones without them have not. So, our focus has been on identifying companies with good, sometimes underappreciated assets that are not the most richly priced but have the potential to improve over time."
Asset quality in this case is defined as the economics of wells that companies are drilling. Wells could be in the same general shale formation, but returns on investment in core areas may eclipse those in peripheral areas with lower yields.
As for "Big Oil," large, integrated oil companies traditionally have been core, go-to holdings in large-cap portfolios. But now that the spread between their returns on capital and more pure-play E&Ps has narrowed as a result of the shale-boom era, their leadership position has been challenged.
As the costs of extracting shale oil and gas by hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling dropped, integrated oil companies less exposed to shale invested in more capital-intensive projects with longer lead times. As oil prices dropped, the returns on such projects dropped, particularly abroad.
"Integrated oil companies may not deserve the premium that they used to, but they are still well run and don't destroy value the way some E&P companies have in the past," Kak said. "And after slashing capital spending, their cash flow and production profiles look better than they have over the last five years—all of which helps explain why the dividends of the largest integrated oil companies have held up well."
While the oil market may be on the path to rebalancing, the primary risk going forward will be global economic activity. If demand growth doesn't materialize, energy companies currently being valued as if oil prices will be in the low to mid-$60s per barrel may be in for a "crude" awakening.
"All the more reason to be selective about oil stocks," said Kak.

A Note about Risk: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The value of an investment in fixed-income securities will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. As interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise. As rates rise, prices tend to fall. Bonds may also be subject to call, credit, liquidity, and general market risks. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the effect a change in interest rates is likely to have on its price. High-yield securities, sometimes called junk bonds, carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.
The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies and/or sectors in the economy. While growth stocks are subject to the daily ups and downs of the stock market, their long-term potential as well as their volatility can be substantial.

text: One look at Queens Kickshaw and you know Astoria is changing. While it's still a patchwork of immigrant communities from all over the world, the neighborhood has also become home to students, artists, young families and sundry iconoclasts who can no longer afford Manhattan or Brooklyn. This laid-back but serious coffee and sandwich bar is a haven for them all, with free Wi-Fi, rustic community tables and an amazing list of craft beer and hard cider. Variations on grilled cheese is a major focus. As for the music, it ranges from folksy acoustic to tango to jazz—the sort you'd like to play at home—but as this venue is the anti-Starbucks, don't expect it to be selling any CDs.

Robomate+ App has been extremely useful for the students. It helped me a lot in revising the concepts for Std. XII Board exam. It acted as a teacher in the absence of a teacher physically.
Moreover, it has also helped a lot for preparing for CPT Exam. I am really thankful to MT Educare for its fantastic work on this app...

MT Educare is the perfect place to pursue your CA journey. The professors are not only pioneers in their fields, they also make you think. They are also very approachable and friendly, ever ready to help you with any doubts you have. I could not be where I am today without their guidance. Due to challenging work timings, MT Educare has been a life saver thanks to their flexible timings and video classes. You get more than your value for money here, they really do go the extra mile, and that's what sets MT Educare apart.

MT has some of the best faculty in India. Their technology-enabled teaching methodologies eased my challenging ride. I was able to get the right advice at the right time to make the right decisions which helped me become a topper. The personal attention given to each student, doubt solving sessions, flexible timings and locations helped me immensely in preparing for this exam. I would certainly recommend MT Educare to students who are preparing for CA.

State-of-the-arch infra along with excellent faculties is MT Educare for you. Probably the only faculties to ensure the students understand the concepts thoroughly. Hats off to the way they dwell in-depth the subject which helps students not only from the exam perspective, but also from the professional angle. Thank you MT Educare for playing a pivotal role in my success.

AIR 11 CA Final Nov. 2015
Choosing right classes is the biggest problem for CA aspirants. While hunting for the best coaching classes for 12th and CPT they all seem to be at par. But my decision of choosing Mahesh Tutorials has been perfect. The teaching here is fantastic! The friendly and down-to-earth Professors, innovative ways of teaching, constant motivation, in-depth knowledge, interactive teaching and vast teaching experience makes MT one of its kind. I felt very confident as the concepts were on my fingertips. Last but not the least is Robomate, truly an anytime anywhere friend.

Since the Eurozone Crisis a host of monetary and fiscal instruments have been used to try to reinvigorate growth and achieve financial stability, with mixed results. Basel III's counter-cyclical capital buffer (CCB) is one such instrument which was met with scepticism. This column uses evidence from the Swiss economy to show that given the right circumstances and political will, the CCB can achieve financial stability.
Jean-Pierre Danthine, 04 May 2016
Swati Dhingra, Thomas Sampson, 04 March 2016
In June, UK voters will decide whether to remain part of the EU. This column explores the UK's options if a majority votes in favour of Brexit. One possibility is for the UK, like Norway, to join the European Economic Area and thereby retain access to the European Single Market. An alternative would be to negotiate bilateral treaties with the EU, as Switzerland has done. All options, however, involve a trade-off between political sovereignty and economic benefits.
Stefan Gerlach, Peter Kugler, 01 March 2016
The Swiss franc was created in 1850, but the Swiss National Bank wasn't founded until 1907. The interim was a period of free banking, marked by two successive phases: one of free, unregulated note issue; and then one of strictly limited banking freedom. This column studies the Swiss banking market over this time. The number of banks is found to play an important role in determining the long-run money demand, and in the monetary adjustment process. Further, problems with harmonisation and common regulation created the incentives for monopolisation and centralisation.
Patrick Arni, Rafael Lalive, Gerard Van den Berg, 11 January 2016
The standard empirical evaluations of labour market policy only consider the direct effects of single programmes on their participants. This column argues that this fails to capture important aspects of real-world labour market policy – policy regimes and strategies. Using Swiss data, it employs a novel empirical approach that concurrently examines the effects of supportive and punitive policies ('carrots' and 'sticks'). Policy regimes are shown to exert economically relevant effects, and accounting for these effects is crucial when designing labour market policy.
Andreas Beerli, Giovanni Peri, 17 August 2015
The case for immigration restrictions is periodically debated in the political arena. This column shows that fully opening the border to neighbouring countries increased immigrants to Switzerland only by 4% of the labour force over eight years. Such an increased inflow did not have significant aggregate effects. Highly educated workers, however, benefited in terms of higher wages, while middle-educated ones experienced employment losses.
Pınar Yeşin, 21 February 2015
Safe haven inflows to Switzerland during global turmoil have been mentioned numerous times by the financial press and international organisations. However, recent research cannot find evidence for surges of capital inflows to Switzerland. In fact, this column argues that private capital inflows to and outflows from Switzerland have become exceptionally muted and less volatile since the Crisis. By contrast, net private capital flows have shown significantly higher volatility since the Crisis, frequently registering extreme movements. However, these extreme movements in net flows are not driven by surges of inflows.
Dario Fauceglia, Andrea Lassmann, Anirudh Shingal, Martin Wermelinger, 18 February 2015
The sharp appreciation of the Swiss franc has once more raised fears about negative export growth and resulting losses for Swiss exporters. However, this column suggests that the Swiss economy's high level of integration into global value chains potentially mitigates these negative effects by rendering imported intermediate inputs cheaper, thus reducing pressures on profit margins through the imported inputs channel.
Jon Danielsson, 18 January 2015
The Swiss central bank last week abandoned its euro exchange rate ceiling. This column argues that the fallout from the decision demonstrates the inherent weaknesses of the regulator-approved standard risk models used in financial institutions. These models under-forecast risk before the announcement and over-forecast risk after the announcement, getting it wrong in all states of the world.
Reto Foellmi, Isabel Martínez, 31 August 2014
Switzerland has had consistently low tax rates and a remarkably stable income distribution, although in the last 20 years the share of top incomes has risen. This column documents that the top 0.01%'s share doubled, meaning Switzerland is similar to European countries in terms of the top 1%'s income share, but closer to the US for higher top incomes. Labour incomes have grown in importance among top income earners. At the same time, however, top incomes have exhibited large and possibly increasing variations over the business cycle.
Patricia Funk, Christina Gathmann, 10 February 2012
As debt crises hit on both sides of the Atlantic, a safe haven for many investors has been Switzerland. This column looks at Swiss public spending over the last century and argues that one reason for its low debt may be its greater use of direct democracy, where people vote on individual policies, as opposed to representative democracy, where people elect others to make decisions on their behalf.
Bruce Blonigen, Lindsay Oldenski, Nicholas Sly, 26 November 2011
The most recent G20 summit led to a multilateral agreement to facilitate information sharing between tax agencies, with the US currently negotiating bilateral tax treaties with the tax havens of Switzerland and Luxembourg. But before celebrations begin, this column points out that cracking down on tax evasion comes at a cost. International investment may well suffer.
Raphael Auer, Sébastien Kraenzlin, 31 March 2011
Banks across the globe have a high balance-sheet exposure to foreign currencies. During the panic of the global financial crisis, the private supply of cross-border liquidity came to a halt, requiring government action. This column documents the unmet demand for cross-border liquidity for the case of the Swiss Franc and describes the countermeasures that were adopted by the Swiss authorities.
Cédric Tille, 12 March 2009
The biggest risk facing the Swiss economy is its large financial sector with substantial international exposure. Foreign currencies, mostly held by UBS and Credit Suisse, account for nearly two-thirds of banks' balance sheets – an amount equivalent to four times annual GDP. This column suggests splitting the two large banks' domestic and foreign operations, so that losses on the latter do not jeopardise the domestic financial system.
Patricia Funk, 28 November 2008
Patricia Funk of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about her research on the impact of direct democracy on government spending, which draws on over a hundred years of data on the cantons of Switzerland. The interview was recorded at the annual congress of the European Economic Association in Milan in August 2008.

... Concorde and the story of how the sound barrier was eventually broken. It was interesting but you really had to be keen on flying to enjoy it properly, so Lance was in his element.
After that we listened to a talk by Sue Holderness, who played Marlene in Only Fools and Horses, and she was very funny and it was great to see excerpts from her various television appearances on a big screen. She had a very attentive audience who laughed ...
And Thus the Dribbling Starts
The first night survived! Although Lance could not sleep because of the noise of the aircon fan, which apparently can't be switched off, and the pitching and yawing of the ship kept waking me up (It wasn't like that on the Anthem of the Seas!)

The Frederick Rescue Mission seeks to rescue lives from poverty, homelessness and chemical dependency. We exist to meet the needs of hurting and broken people while inviting them into the abundant life Christ offers to all. Every man that enters with a heart surrendered to God and a cooperative attitude should never have to see a prison, jail, homeless shelter, rehab center or rescue mission again. He should never have to sleep under a bridge, in an abandoned house or out in the woods again. A changed life will call on Jesus instead of alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and any other kind of drug. The goal here is to see lives changed for eternity, now and forever.
How Your Donation Helps

The US Plastics website noted above has a lot of cool stuff.
Also, look in your local 99 cent store. You can find small plastic vials and other shapes that can be emptied and then repurposed for your use. For example, you can find 3 – 3ML vials with breath freshener in them and you just pull the top off the bottle and empty/clean/refill.Apr 14, 2012 at 9:05 pm #1867349

An interesting case – is this spam or not spam? (Well, it is really.)
Or perhaps more importantly, is it useful to BPL readers?
I have deleted the contents of the posting because, while possibly useful, the web site referenced only sold by the case and part-case. There was no visible opportunity to buy just a few. This made the whole thing a bit pointless.
If Thornton Plastics wish to sell small quantities over the web in a manner useful to BPL readers, I suggest a posting in Gear Deals would be very appropriate.

White House denies NSA link to bug
The Obama administration denied Friday that the National Security Agency or other parts of the federal government had known about the Heartbleed security vulnerability that has created widespread fears that passwords and other sensitive information belonging to millions of Internet users may have been revealed over the past two years. The White House was responding to a report by Bloomberg News citing two unidentified sources who said that the NSA had known about the flaw and "regularly used it to gather critical intelligence." Outside experts expressed strong doubts about the report, noting that the information that could be gleaned from the Heartbleed bug was somewhat random, meaning that it probably would be a clumsy intelligence tool.
Passengers fall ill on cruise ship
Passengers sailing on the Grandeur of the Seas from the Port of Baltimore have been sickened on two consecutive trips, federal health officials say. The most recent outbreak occurred on the Royal Caribbean International vessel, which left Baltimore on April 5 for a seven-day cruise to the Bahamas, a Royal Caribbean spokeswoman said Friday.
Two fall to their deaths at mine
Two workers fell to their deaths Friday inside a southeast Missouri mine that has been the site of two other fatal accidents since 2000. The accident happened about 8:30 a.m. at a lime mine operated by the Mississippi Lime Co. Ste. Genevieve County Coroner Leo Basler said the men were in a basket, or boom, extended from a truck several feet below, removing loose rock from either the wall or the ceiling of the mine.
Casino sues high-stakes gambler
A casino is suing a big-time gambler, claiming he won $9.6 million in a card-cheating scheme in baccarat. The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against Phillip Ivey Jr., considered one of the best poker players in the world. The lawsuit alleges Ivey and an associate exploited a defect in cards made by a Kansas City manufacturer that enabled them to sort and arrange good cards in baccarat. The technique gave him an unfair advantage on four occasions between April and October 2012, the casino asserted in its lawsuit.
Woman sentenced in stabbing case
A Houston woman was sentenced to life in prison Friday for fatally stabbing her boyfriend with the 5½-inch stiletto heel of her shoe, striking him at least 25 times in the face and head. Ana Trujillo was convicted of murder Tuesday by the same jury for killing Alf Stefan Andersson, 59, during an argument last June.

Featured Artist ~ Malia Bryngelson - Cover winner for 2017 PPS member Art Calendar
I create pastel paintings with the goal of bringing the openness and peace of being outdoors in the beauty of God's creation. I feel the medium of pastel is ideal for depicting wonderfully strong sunlight and shadow, which I love to paint. The immediacy and feel of drawing combined with the beautiful colors of pastels make this my medium of choice.
Animals and landscapes are what I am most passionate about painting, but I also enjoy a variety of other subjects. My landscapes are from the areas of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and my native California.
Because I love working in pastels, I also teach introductory classes that are designed for people who have little or no experience with them. The relaxed classes are focused on experimentation with pastels, surfaces, and basic techniques, as well as encouraging artists to venture into a new medium in a very positive way.
After raising my daughter, and working for a number of years in a county library system, I am privileged to have been able to return to art full time. I live with my very supportive husband Ray, in Locust, North Carolina.

A big black bear shows up one moonlit night and creates a real ruckus, first breaking into the shed where the grain is kept for the geese (who aren't too happy about it), then raiding the bird feeders. The bear is also causing problems at other homes in the neighborhood, getting into the trash and compost and eating dog food that was left out overnight. One neighbor offers to shoot it. Another one suggests calling the game warden to have the bear tranquilized and relocated. But the child among them knows what is best. A bear belongs in the woods, he says, and together with the adults clears the yards in the neighborhood of any food that would tempt the bear. His dad comes up with a good idea for warning the bear away--and it works!$16.95

City Fish, Country FishAges 9 to 12, Award Winners, Children's Books, Education & Teaching, Middle Grade, Science, Nature and EnvironmentIn CITY FISH, COUNTRY FISH, by Mary Cerullo, we discover that how like some people live in the country, close to the land, where they enjoy peace and quiet, others live in high-rise apartments in the city and love the hustle and bustle of crowds and nonstop activity, both day and night. In many ways fish are very similar. In the ocean there are places that have some of the characteristics of the country or of the city. Like the classic tale of The City Mouse and the Country Mouse, there are advantages and disadvantages to each habitat. We'll compare how the fishes that live in tropical seas (the city) and those that swim through cold oceans (the country) meet the challenges and opportunities of their own ecosystems.$16.95

Montreal, October 17, 2011 – With winter just around the corner, it is important to winter proof your home and avoid any surprises. Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) offers you some simple and practical tips.
Water damage can permanently damage carpets, floors, furniture and electronic appliances. "Water damage accounts for about half of all claims paid out in home insurance in Quebec, well ahead of fire and theft. Every year, it costs the Canadian insurance industry more than $1 billion to compensate policyholders who have suffered water damage", stated Jack Chadirdjian, IBC's Director of Public Affairs.
What should you do?
Every year, lives are lost because of fires, which cost millions of dollars in material damage. Some of these tragedies could have been prevented. "We know that a number of Quebec homes have no smoke detectors, and almost half of those that are installed do not work properly. A distressing state of affairs," noted Jack Chadirdjian.
Want to know more? Visit our web site at infoinsurance.ca. Have questions? Contact one of our Insurance Information Centre agents by e-mail at email@example.com, or call 514 288-4321 or 1 877 288-4321.
Insurance Bureau of Canada is the national industry association representing Canada's private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90% of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada. It offers various services to consumers in order to inform and assist them when purchasing car or home insurance, or making a claim.

Chapter 5: Changing the ReflectionMature
It's been a week since I was released from the hospital. I still have to wear the cast on my wrist though, because the doctor's said it was a slight fracture and that it'll take at least 7-8 weeks to heal. The bandages were taken off of the bite wound, but they said that there will always be a scar there. Jay and I are a thing now, and we hang out every weekend. We mostly just sit on the bench at Belmont Bay Park and makeout for about an hour and then we go to our apartment and makeout on the bed.
But when the bedsheets and quilt are in the laundry, we settle for the soft carpet floor. Jay practically lives with me, but I said he could only on one condition: we must attend every day—and I mean every day— of school until it ends. Jay agreed to do this only if we go out on a date once a week. I agreed to it. It's now in the middle of November, and Autumn is our favorite season.
We sometimes go to the park and take pictures with Jay's fancy Canon camera of the autumn leaves and trees and then makeout at our usual spot. It's not our faults if we're horny teenagers! But this week, I want to change this.
I'm tired of making out on the bed and then falling asleep at 11:30.
I'm tired of sitting at the park as Jay licks and slobbers on my mouth.
I want to fuck Jay.
He always says no when I try to take my clothes off during makeout sessions and refuses when I bring it up.
Today is Saturday November 12th. I sit on the living room floor of the apartment, playing around with pictures Jay took of us and printed them off at Walmart. Jay's still asleep because I always wake up early. Don't worry, I didn't know vampires slept either. I fumble around with a picture of Jay and I, lying in autumn leaves, staring at each other with large smiles on our faces.
I hear a large woosh come from the kitchen and I know Jay's up.
"Morning, honey." I call out to the kitchen. "Gotta hunt. Be back in a few minutes, love." Jay says quickly and vanishes through the back door. I smile and take a sip of my mug of herbal tea. Jay taught me the recipe that his mother taught him when he was little. He explained to me that Damon and his two siblings, Sabrina and Reyes Wakes, are the only family he has now, since the rest of his family died in a house-fire.
I feel guilty, since I'm always introducing him to people in my family. Jay always has to explain this to my family, and they always reply with, "Oh, I'm so sorry," or, "God bless their souls." Yeah, my family is a teeny bit religious. But enough about them. Jay says that on Friday he's taking me to see his cousins Reyes and Sabrina.
I'm nervous to see them, but Jay assures me that the smell of humans doesn't bother them. That's just what I worry about. What makes me think they'll be able to control themselves around me if he can't? What if my blood is so rare and rich that it sets off even the oldest of vampires?? I'm so nervous that I have to busy my hands every second of the day or I curl up into a ball and remain like that until Jay finds me.
Jay can fix anything that troubles me, whether it's personal, like if Lily and I had a fight, or if it's mental, like if I have nightmares of when he bit me. Just with his touch my problems disappear. But not this time. He hunts more frequently just because he's worried he'll bite me again. To soothe his conscience.
I know he's fine, but if I interrupt him he goes off about how unsafe I'll be if he doesn't. I hate when he does that. Plus, I don't want a fat vampire boyfriend! It's not hot. Jay reappears out of thin air and wraps his arms around me, kissing my cheek.
"Hey, babe." he whispers smugly and I giggle as he plants a bunch of wet, passionate kisses on my lips. "You. Know. What. I. Thought. Of. Babe?" I say between kisses. "What's that?" "If Friday ends well, maybe we could spend Christmas holidays with Reyes and Sabrina." I say and jay stops to study my expression. Once he realizes that I'm serious, he sighs. "Christmas with them is boring," he begins.
"All they do is attend a bunch of ancient Transilvanian ceremonies." I perk up and take his hand. "Like what?" Jay pauses for a while. ". .I can't answer that . . I don't want to frighten you . . . " he says and I freeze. He massages my hand with his. "I want to forget what you just said, but I can't, Jay. I need to go do something with my hands before I have another meltdown," I get up and lock myself in my room.
repeat Jay's sentence in my head over and over again.
"I don't want to frighten you."
I sit down on the edge of the bed, curl up into a ball, and drift off to sleep.
I'm in my room again and Jay's knocking at the door. "Lexi, are you ok?" I know he can't see me behind the locked door, but I nod in reply. "I'm fine!" I call out and he stops knocking. I turn to the window and scream.
Awaiting me, are a young, stocky blond girl and a dark-haired, bulky guy, who both seem to share the same glowering red eyes. The girl's long blond hair is pulled back in a neat, loose pigtail, and she wears an icy blue sweater and matching pants that remind me of Jay's eyes. The boy reminds me of Demetrius from Eclipse- shaggy brown hair, and a flowing black cloak. "Well it would seem that you are not, in fact, 'fine.' " the girl smiles grimly and I scream back into consciousness.
I wake up to a large splintering sound and discover that Jay has ripped the door clear off the hinges. "Lexi!" He calls, dropping the door, and rushes over to my side. This makes me realize I'm curled up in a ball until Jay rests his icy hand on my hip. "Are you alright? Did anyone hurt you?" he whispers. "I'm perfectly fine it was just another nightmare." I say.
"What was it about this time?" "I . . . I was lying on the bed, and you were at the door, asking if I was ok, and I told you I was, and then there were this boy and girl at the window - the girl a blond and the boy a brunette-" Jay interrupts me with a moan. "And they both had blood red eyes." I exclaim and Jay releases another groan, burying his face in his hands. "The boy and girl you saw- that was Sabrina and Reyes, Mira."

Nissan?s latest GT-R super-coupe has failed in its bid to topple Porsche from the top of the Nurburgring production car lap time list by just a few seconds.
And it might well have been the result Nissan preferred.
Nissan is refusing to divulge the official fastest time it recorded for the standard version of the powered-up 2011 GT-R, clocked at the famed Nordschliefe in early October in the hands of chief test driver Toshio Suzuki.
The Japanese company will only say it set several times about the 7min 24sec mark but that the conditions were wet.
That?s a few seconds slower than Porsche test driver Timo Kluck recorded in a 911 GT2 RS just months ago.
Porsche and Nissan have waged a war of words ever since Suzuki cut a 7:29 lap in a GT-R in 2008, with accusations of special tyres countered by claims that the Germans didn?t understand how to drive the twin-turbo all-wheel drive GT-R properly.
There had been reports in some web locations that the updated GT-R had recorded a time in the 7:20 area, but either way it seems the GT-R chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno was more than happy to finish behind his rival rather than ahead.
?Under this time is no good, a little over is better,? Mizuno told Drive when asked if he wanted the MY11 GT-R to beat 7:18. ?Because what they (Porsche) do for company pride we do for customer information. So under 7:18 is no good for us, for customers 7:21, 22, 20 is better for GT-R customer.
Mizuno was speaking at an embargoed media preview drive (see separate story) of the GT-R at the Nurburgring in late September. A ?time attack? had been planned for that day, but postponed because of poor weather.
It was conducted days later, delivering the result Mizuno believed vital to retaining the GT-R?s credibility with customers.
?Maybe the customer don?t believe (a sub 7:18 time), because the 911 GT RS is a special, special version with a cut slick tyre, we using standard GT-R with production tyre.
?If customer really believe Nissan is making a special car then no good for me. We need belief of customer, it is a very important point for me. In my mind I am developing the GT-R for customer not Nissan company pride.?
At the September drive, the specific details of the MY11 GT-R were held back for the official launch in Tokyo yesterday (October 18), where the first significant power boost for Nissan?s R35 GT-R since its 2007 introduction was confirmed.
Also coming in 2011 are chassis and appearance updates as well as two new models, the Club Track racer and luxury Egoist.
However, neither is likely for Australia, where just one model - rather than the current two trim levels - will be available from March 2011.
?Three years ago in December 2007 I announced the GT-R and this is what I said; ?this is only a start, in front of you is only one GT-R. The GT-R and what it aims for comes three years down the line?,? Mizuno declared at the media preview.
As sweeping as that sounds Mizuno also described MY11 as a ?minor change? and the fundamentals of the super-coupe?s twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6 powertrain and Atessa all-wheel drive system remain unchanged.
The VR38DETT engine already pumped out a substantial 362kW, but that now climbs to 390kW. Torque increases to 612Nm from the current 588Nm and is delivered over a slightly wider 3200-6000rpm band (previously 5200rpm).
The improvements are gained via changes to turbo boost pressure, valve timing and air mixture ratio, reducing intake air resistance by enlarging the inlet pipe diameter and reducing exhaust air resistance through use of an enlarged section of exhaust pipe.
Reflecting the age, the GT-R also manages to drop fuel consumption by around 0.2L/100km. And along with it CO2 emissions fall too.
Acceleration should improve, aided by what Mizuno called ?launch control? embedded in the VDC stability control system?s ?R? mode and the six-speed dual clutch transaxle.
However, perhaps aware of previous controversies regarding GT-R launch control, the official release refers only to improved ?starting performance?.
At the opposite end of the spectrum the transmission also now has an economy mode, while a new ultra-low precious metal catalyst aids emissions.
The GT-R?s exceptional handling should benefit from a stronger body, including a carbon composite strut brace. A front suspension geometry change seeks better turning grip and straight-line stability while a rear roll centre adjustment is designed to improve tyre grip and feedback.
The GT-R also swaps to a lower friction shock absorber and a thinner front brake rotor that is 10mm larger (390mm) than its predecessor. There?s no mention of mods to improve the adjustable suspension?s ride quality.
Lighter and more rigid 20-inch RAYS alloy wheels and new construction Dunlop run-flat tyres complete the chassis update.
Externally, the MY11 appears little changed from its predecessors, but enough has been done to drop the coefficient drag from 0.27 to 0.26, while downforce is increased by roughly 10 per cent.
Enlarged bumper and grille openings are MY11 giveaways, as are the double fins and LED running lights mounted in the front corners. At the rear are a lowered and extended bumper and enlarged tailpipe finishers.
Inside, there has been an attempt to address the criticisms of the GT-R?s dowdy presentation with a newly shaped and stitched instrument panel and navigation system finisher, a carbon centre cluster finish and matte black switches. Seats have also been reshaped for increased support and comfort.
The Club Track edition is designed only for circuit use and is fitted with a roll cage and slick tyres (among other features). The SpecV ? the previous hardest-core GT-R ? continues on, picking up the same MY11 technical tweaks as the Japanese Pure, Black and Premium models as well as new brake pads and VDC brake balance modifications.
Egoist offers GT-R customers the chance to have their interior colour combination hand-tailored, and the Bose audio system tuned to the driver?s seating position. It is also fitted with seats featuring an exclusive quilted design, while other styling highlights ? RAYS alloys, a dry carbon rear spoiler and titanium exhaust system - come from the SpecV.

Jackeye: WindlessMature
Jackeye swung up to the highest mast of the boat. Storms were wonderful.
"Whoohoo! Send this baby in!" He shouted as the ship rocked in the ocean. Waves washed over waves and water was sloshing all over board.
The storm last for 3 hours. It was three whole hours of crazy water beating exhilaration before the waters began to calm. The clouds floated out of the sky and the sun finally shone through. Jackeye frowned as he scanned the horizon.
"No wind."
He licked his fingers and stuck them out.
"No wind." He repeated. Jackeye slid down the mast and landed lightly on the ground, avoiding all of the commotion on the ship.
"No wind." He said again, shaking his head. No wind was a bad sign.
He was weaving his way through the crowd when a boy struggled to push through the crowd. Jackeye caught him.
"Woah boy, what's the hurry?"
"I need to speak to the capt'in!"
"What's so urgent boy?"
"All of the cargo got washed off the ship. We have no food or water left!"
Jackeye let go of the kid slightly shock and the boy scrambled off. No wind. No food. No water. That was a bad combination.
Jackeye strolled to the captain cabin where he was sure where Jonin' was. As for now, he should probably get Jonin' free. He poked the door gingerly with his hand and it swung open. Jonin' was lying on the ground, still bound and gagged.
"Hey Jonin'. Gonna get you out of this." He grabbed his knife and quickly sawed through the bonds. Jonin' scrambled up and threw on a shirt.
"Sory ca'tin..." He muttered.
"Well, you're back. And that's all that's important right now." He pat Jonin' lightly on the back. "Now an escape plan?"
"No wind, food or water. I don't think this boat has a rowing crew either. So either we sit here and starve to death or escape."
"Wat's da plan?"
"I was asking you!"
Jonin' looked around.
"Don't know, ca'tin."
"Some people never get any smarter." Jackeye sighed, muttering to himself. "Get up. We're stealing a lifeboat and rowing ourselves to shore.
That night, with the help of Jonin', a boat was let down and Jackeye and Jonin' left. They row for half an hour when they hit shore, stumbling upon an island.
"We've reached land ca'tin."
Jackeye smiled as he walked onto the sandy shore.
"Now we find food."
