John Denham, a former Home Office minister, told the Guardian that the party "needs a change in leadership style that brings more people into judgments about what policy direction we should take".
Mr Denham said the parliamentary Labour party was pleased to have been told by Tony Blair on Monday that there would be a stable and orderly transition, but said "people now want to see some evidence of it". He predicted that without any change, there would be another year of "drift and division" which would probably make Labour unelectable.
Like many mainstream Labour MPs, Mr Denham is concerned by the "very dangerous polarisation" between the pro- and anti-Blair camps at the weekend. He accused the home secretary, John Reid, of "quite outrageously claiming that everyone who is critical is against change". But he also said that attempts by the pressure group Compass to organise letters demanding the prime minister's resignation sounded "very much like the 1980s", when Labour was terribly divided.
In a sign that unease with Mr Blair's leadership revolves around policies as much as personalities, Mr Denham said the prime minister's agenda, which focuses on antisocial behaviour and public service reform, looked dated. He said other issues, such as housing, the environment, managing working lives and working out the challenges caused by migration, had shot up the public agenda, but they had not shot up the government's agenda.
Citing evidence from the doorsteps during the local election campaign, Mr Denham said the prime minister was losing his touch: "Tony Blair used to have a paranormal instinct for the fears and the mood of the British people, but that has faded. We're more likely to be told now that the government is out of touch."
Mr Denham denied that he and his colleagues had been plotting a coup against the prime minister, saying instead that people like him had refrained from putting the boot in, because "it would also be putting the boot into the party".

The Labour leadership will blame the Crewe byelection defeat (Report, May 23) on the "midterm blues", along with discontent over the 10p tax reform. We'll be told that ministers will listen more, but that Gordon Brown remains the right man to provide strong leadership, and that a raft of new initiatives will be unveiled to secure victory in 2010.
What we will not get is any acknowledgment that voters are tired of New Labour's failure to tackle greed in the City and obscene salaries in the boardroom, the continued privatisation of the NHS, post office closures, teenage gangs terrorising urban residents, or appalling train services. Nor, I suspect, will ministers admit that they have alienated millions of public sector workers, firstly by imposing a 2% pay freeze and secondly by the relentless increase in bureaucracy and micro-management.
I don't want a Tory government (it would pursue the same policies), but nor could I face a fourth term of this ideologically and morally bankrupt regime.
Pete Dorey,
Reader in politics, Cardiff University
In all the recent news of Labour disintegrating at the polls, it seems to me that a large share of responsibility rests with members of the parliamentary Labour party who couldn't find the courage or vision to put up an alternative candidate to Gordon Brown for the leadership. Even if Brown had still won, an election process would have given members of the party an opportunity to debate various alternatives in policies and discuss the future of the party in the post-Blair years. A missed opportunity for the party and the country.
Prebendary Neil Richardson,
Greenford, Middlesex
It's not the 10p tax fiasco that's going to lose the next election for Labour. What is doing the real damage among the majority of voters is that we drive past petrol stations every day and think "That's gone up since last time," or in the supermarket we think "That was cheaper last week." Now the economy is contracting it's things like that which will influence people rather than abstract things such as reducing carbon emissions or child poverty. That may sound brutal, but that is the way the majority of the undecided voters in this country will think.

The "New" Labour brand has been on the shelves for 13 years now. Sales have nosedived. People have clearly become bored with it. It's time for to reformulate the product.
Peter Jones,
Branscombe, Devon
I can't help but wonder where the Labour party gets its ideas. In the Crewe and Nantwich byelection they used the slogan "Tamsin Dunwoody, One of Us" - the phrase coined by Margaret Thatcher. Need one say more?
Mick Taylor,
Senior lecturer, Leeds Trinity & All Saints
Surely Gordon Brown has only one choice now after the disaster in Crewe and Nantwich. A rapid espousal of a good system of proportional representation can save us from the flimsy New Conservatism of David Cameron and his cronies. Please do it now before it is too late.
Andrew Carmichael,
If Gordon Brown wishes to favourably connect with a large proportion of the British electorate, all he has to do is restore the link between the state pension and earnings.
Terry Price,
Silchester, Hampshire
Another day, another attempt to dissect the class war debacle in Crewe and Nantwich (Attacks on toffs will ring hollow until Labour proves its meritocratic mettle, May 21). Particularly galling was Jonathan Freedland's veiled attack on deference to a ruling elite. Blair was at Fettes and Oxford. Many of the current cabinet were at Oxbridge. And the chief architect of New Labour, Oxford-educated Peter Mandelson, is of impeccable political family credentials. And yet Freedland thinks it's only old Etonians who are out of touch with the reality of modern Britain. If the Tories get in it's a case of one ruling elite replacing another.
Colin Montgomery,

Only a series of other results going their way can now keep Ulster in with a chance going into the last weekend of games though Brian McLaughlin's men will now have to travel to Thomond Park to replicate their epic European defeat of Munster in their final league clash and even that may not be enough.
The result was also a blow ahead of Ulster's massive Heineken Cup semi-final with Edinburgh next weekend - especially with Chris Henry, Paddy Wallace and Pedrie Wannenburg all departing with injuries - and saw them fall to only their second home reverse in 21 games.
Defeat also marked their final home game of the season and McLaughlin's last stand in Belfast before he steps aside for Kiwi Mark Anscombe
Leinster, pretty much at full strength ahead of their own European semi-final away to Clermont with Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Kearney and Jonathan Sexton in the side, opened the scoring after seven minutes.
After Fergus McFadden's break, the visitors rucked aggressively towards Ulster's line and Eoin Reddan skipped a pass to Sean O'Brien to put Kevin McLaughlin clean through for the score, which Sexton converted.
Ruan Pienaar could then only hit the upright with a 23rd minute penalty but Ulster were able to hit back almost immediately when a combination of Willie Faloon and Paddy Wallace put Johann Muller into space and the skipper made the line for his first try.
The try was awarded by the TMO despite the fact it appeared Muller made a double movement.
Pienaar saw his difficult conversion sail wide to the left and Leinster stayed 7-5 in front until Sexton made it 10-5 just before the half hour when Wannenburg - in his last appearance at Ravenhill - was penalised at a ruck.
Ulster then lost Wallace, who was taken off looking groggy as he joined Henry who had departed earlier with what appeared to be a shin problem.
Pienaar at least managed his first successful kick at goal with a 37th minute penalty but the half ended with Sexton kicking three points from right under Ulster's posts to give the visitors a 13-8 half-time lead.
Things did not improve for Ulster on the injury front as Wannenburg departed early in the second half before Pienaar was again wide, this time with a long range penalty effort on 52 minutes.
The game then lost its shape as both sides made a raft of substitutions but Leinster still scored next with Sexton nailing a snap drop goal after 67 minutes to take his side's lead to 16-8.
With more substitutions following, the game broke up even more and Ulster were unable to score again in a failed bid to get a losing bonus point.
Retiring winger Shane Williams had the final say once again in a match billed as his farewell to the Liberty Stadium as the
ust as he had done on his international swansong, Williams delivered a dazzling last-gasp try as the Swansea-based region claimed a bonus-point win to confirm their place in the end-of-season shoot-out.
Wales' record try-scorer could yet, though, be back in action at the ground if the Ospreys can seal a top-two finish with another victory in their final match out in Aironi next weekend.
After a storming start, the home side made hard work of putting away a gutsy Dragons side, scoring four tries in all - two of which were penalty tries from their much-vaunted scrum following Ryan Jones' 20th-minute score.
And unless they fall flat on their faces against the league's basement boys next weekend, they look set to be back at the Liberty in the semi-finals.
The hosts' other points all came from the boot of fly-half Dan Biggar, with four penalties from Dragons number 10 Lewis Robling all the visitors could muster.
Williams was given a rousing reception by a season's biggest crowd of more than 14,000 at the Liberty and the Ospreys started as if they meant business.
With wing Hanno Dirksen to the fore, they launched an opening onslaught that lasted nearly four minutes until lock Ian Evans knocked on with a try beckoning.
A break by flanker Ryan Jones then saw hooker Richard Hibbard denied in the corner as the Dragons continued to soak up attack after attack.
And, as soon as they managed to emerge from the siege, the visitors were first on the scoreboard with a fine long-range penalty from Robling.
The Ospreys' response was swift with opposite number Biggar on target after more home pressure, but the Dragons, with barely any possession, were back in front minutes later with Robling adding another three points.
Finally, though, the Ospreys got the try all their intent deserved.
Scrum-half Rhys Webb took a quick tap, centre Andrew Bishop cut through only to be brought down inches short, then Ryan Jones sniffed a gap on the blindside to burrow over. Biggar converted brilliantly from the touchline.
It needed a superb try-saving tackle from Aled Brew on Dirksen to deny the Ospreys a second try on the half-hour mark, but the respite was shortlived.
From the ensuring five-yard scrum, the Dragons' eight crumbled time and again, prop Nathan Buck was yellow-carded and the inevitable penalty try followed.
Biggar's simple conversion made it 17-6 and the Ospreys were in firm control just before the break.
Robling reduced the arrears with his third penalty four minutes after the restart, then the home side found themselves down to 14 men with Biggar yellow-carded for a senseless challenge on Brew as he looked to take a quick penalty.
The lead was down to five points on 56 minutes as Robling bisected the uprights again and suddenly the Dragons were sensing an upset.
But their scrum problems continued when replacement prop Dan Way became the third player of the night to be binned, even though Biggar missed with the penalty that followed.
The Ospreys were denied their third try when Hibbard was deemed to have made a double movement in the process of scoring, but with the Dragons scrum buckling again, another penalty try followed a minute from time.
With the clock ticking down there seemed little chance for any further scoring, but the script appeared to be written for Williams. He took a pass 35 metres out and cut inside the tiring cover before racing to the posts to finish with a cartwheel flourish.
Williams even slotted the conversion to end another memorable night for one of Welsh rugby's all-time greats.

5 Stocks Serving Up Bargains - 27041 views
MINNEAPOLIS (Stockpickr) -- There is a fundamental shift taking place in the economy. Huge losses on personal assets, including real estate and housing, combined with a challenging job market has changed consumer behavior. Budgets are tight, and there is a renewed emphasis on savings.
The result of this very significant change is an emphasis on bargains and price. There are many loud voices in the financial world concerned about inflation based mainly on current easy monetary policy. The fallacy of that argument is almost amusing. Simply take a look around and you will see the masses working hard to find bargains at every turn.
When consumers don't spend, prices will be hard-pressed to increase. The pressure on prices for most goods and services is tremendous at the moment. Last month, import prices fell thanks to lower fuel costs. Food and materials prices fell as well.
More From Stockpickr
My mentor in this business had all the money in the world, but he would drive out of his way to find a gas station with prices a nickel lower than the rest of the market. That mentality helped him build wealth. Today, that mentality is a necessity for many just to survive.
The situation makes for interesting speculation in stocks. Most are familiar with retail names that offer low prices. Companies such as Dollar General (DG), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST) are taking advantage of bargain-hunting to grow their businesses. Companies in other industries catering to low prices are also likely to benefit.
With this in mind, investors should consider adding these href="http://stockpickr.com/jdlugosch/portfolio/5-stocks-of-companies-serving-up-bargains/">five stocks of companies serving up bargains to their portfolios.
Teva Pharmaceuticals
The pharmaceutical business is designed to allow companies to profit handsomely from years of very expensive research and development. When a new drug finally makes it to market, it is in essence a monopoly, operating without competition. Eventually, though, that protection expires. Competition emerges in the form of generic copies sold at lower prices.
Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is one of the biggest generic drug sellers in world. The current market is fertile ground for the company given the number of high-profile drugs losing patent protection. While the larger research and development drug companies struggle to replace these drugs coming off patent, Teva's pipeline of product is growing.
One wouldn't know it by the action in Teva shares, though. The stock is down 27%, a victim of the overall bearishness in the market. Investor antipathy toward the drug sector hasn't helped Teva. I would view the selling as an opportunity to buy the stock at a discount.
The average Wall Street estimate for Teva's current-year earnings is $5.05 per share, with an expectation for profit growth of 13% in the following year to $5.72 per share. At current prices, Teva trades for just 7.5 times current year estimated earnings. That is incredibly cheap given the expected profit growth. In addition, the company pays a dividend of 2% enhancing future returns.
I would buy this seller of name brand drugs at cheap prices.
Teva shows up on recent lists of 8 Biotech Stocks to Watch and 12 Top Health Care Picks for Hedge Funds. As of the most recently reporting quarter, it's a holding of John Paulson's Paulson & Co. and John Griffin's Blue Ridge Capital, among others.
Southwest Airlines
The airline sector has been brutalized this year. Rising oil prices and an economy showing signs of weakness brought sellers out of the woodwork. Not one carrier has been spared the carnage. The very popular and well-run Southwest Airlines (LUV) has seen shares decline 36% so far in 2011.
The concerns for lower profits are legitimate, but the airline industry is better poised to deal with these challenges than at any other time in history. Consolidation and more-focused management have kept supply tight. Planes are filled to the brim, and there is no sign of excess capacity coming on line in the near future. Some carriers have been able to pass along higher operating costs to consumers in the form of ticket charges.
Higher fuel prices resulted in Southwest's missing earnings estimates in the last quarter by 5 cents per share. The news was bad but not disastrous. During the third quarter, oil prices have drifted lower. That should help profits in the near term. Unlike current investors, Wall Street analysts have a rosy view of the future for Southwest.
The average estimate for the current year is for the company to make 33 cents per share. In the next year, profits are expected to more than double to 75 cents per share. At current prices, shares of Southwest trade for 25 times current-year estimates of earnings. That is very cheap given expected growth. If oil prices hold steady here, shares of Southwest could double in value in the coming year.
Southwest is one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated airline stocks.
Domino's Pizza
Take a look at the one-year chart of Domino's Pizza (DPZ) -- it's one of the few stocks that's been unscathed during this year's market malaise. The low-price home-delivery pizza company has seen profits soar. Its shares are up 70% this year, making it one of the best-performing stocks in the market.
Delivery pizza may not be the healthiest alternative out there, but it's cheap and convenient. Cash-strapped consumers -- especially those with children -- can forgo the dining-out experience and save money on food and gas.
Helping support Domino's share gains are earnings that have exceeded Wall Street estimates over the last two quarters. For the full year, the average Wall Street estimate of profits is $1.61 per share, with that number growing 13% to $1.82 per share in the next year. Those estimates have been on the rise but are likely still too conservative. At current prices, Domino's trades for 17 times current-year earnings estimates.
I'd be willing to pay that slight premium to expected earnings growth as more consumers opt for the quick, cheap and satisfying option of Domino's Pizza.

A deflationary spiral impacts companies across a broad spectrum of industries. Customers aren't the only ones looking to save money. For example, builders are also trying to save money in order to support profit margins in a highly competitive market with excess capacity. One of the largest low-price steel companies is Nucor (NUE). The $10 billion market cap company provides a variety of steel products, including hot/cold rolled steel, plate steel, structural steel and bar steel.
Shares of Nucor are down 23% this year on speculation of a double-dip recession. All this talk of a recession could be good for the company, which will be among the first to benefit from any policy response to boost the economy. There are plenty of infrastructure projects crying out for attention and needing products from Nucor. Even without any stimulus spending, the company is doing just fine.
Nucor has exceeded Wall Street profit estimates by a wide margin in each of the last three quarters. For the full year the average estimate is for the company to make $2.62 per share. In the following year, Nucor profits are expected to grow by 35% to $3.54 per share. With the stock trading for only 13 times earnings, Nucor is a discount steel maker worthy of any bargain hunting portfolio.
Nucor, one of the top-yielding metals and mining stocks, shows up on a recent list of 5 Steel Stocks Heating Up on Jobs Plan.
What started as a company offering discounts in the travel space, Travelzoo (TZOO) is quickly transforming into social networking business, providing members with bargains in their respective communities on everything from dining to entertainment. If this sounds familiar, it should. It is the same model of the ultra-hyped Groupon. With that company looking to delay its IPO, investors may be wise to pick up shares of Travelzoo instead.
Even if Groupon does go public, shares are likely to go parabolic. Travelzoo has already been tested by the market, with shares rising initially and only recently falling back to earth. Since late April, shares of Travelzoo have lost nearly 70% of their value. With the mustard off the hot dog, now may be a good time to buy Travelzoo.
The company is profitable and growing rapidly. In the current year, the average Wall Street estimate is for Travelzoo to make a profit of $1.41 per share. In the following year, the estimate increases by 29% to $1.82. At current prices, the company trades for 23 times current-year estimates.
It is unusual for growth companies to trade for multiples of earnings lower than expected profit growth rates. It is reasonable to assume that when Groupon goes public, that will not be the case. Consumers are hungry for discounts, and Travelzoo is positioned to prosper from that trend. I would buy this fast-growing company that serves up bargains.
Travelzoo was also featured recently in "5 Breakout Trades on the Radar."

LED Cello Lights Up The Stage By Jean Kumagai
"…The cello, played well, is a soulful instrument. So human, so organic. The last thing you'd think a cello needs is high-tech enhancement. And yet, several years ago the visual artist Erika Harrsch began collaborating with cellist Maya Beiser and composer Paola Prestini on a new work. Harrsch had an idea: What about an LED cello? An instrument covered with panels of light-emitting diodes. Harrsch says at first, it was a tough sell…."

Mexican Artist Erika Harrsch Flying her currency kites in Long Island City NY in 2012. Part of a series of performances with flying currency as "Inverted Sky" at World financial center in NYC part of River to River festival in 2012, Skyfull at OMW performance designed by Erika Harrsch and Paola Prestini with Claire Chase and Eric Lamb.
On Saturday, Ms. Harrsch was at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Conn., with her project, "United States of North America Passport." Her installation envisions a borderless North American continent — a fictitious entity called the United States of North America — and encourages museum visitors to apply for a passport that will make them citizens.
Once an application has been completed, Ms. Harrsch, playing the role of bureaucrat, invites applicants to spin a wheel to determine their fate.
Ms. Harrsch has traveled the country with the exhibit, and shown it in China, Mexico
and Poland. In the United States, activists and undocumented immigrants sometimes approach her. "They say, 'If this is a serious issue, why are you losing your time doing an art project? Do something for real,'" she said. "It's not for me to speak with a loud voice to anybody. It's for me more to speak to communities that bring this to the attention of leaders. It's very difficult to approach leaders, and easier to approach the world."
Butterflies Roam at a Concert Hall in Infancy, Still Without a Roof
In a performance designed by the visual artist Erika Harrsch, butterfly-shaped kites were printed with blown-up images of American currency, a beautiful but melancholy accompaniment to works for flute duet by Mario Diaz de Leon and Julian Wachner.
The Aldrich will host an opening reception to introduce united states, a semester of solo exhibitions and artist's projects that approach both the nature of the United States as a country and "united states" as the notion of uniting separate forms, manners, or conditions of being. Subjects that are touched upon include history (and forgetfulness), war, political division, race, the economy, immigration, competition vs. cooperation, mythology, group psychology, the social contract, and consumerism. No one series of exhibitions can summarize the complexity of the meanings inherent in the concept of "united states," however the goal is not to provide closure, but rather to echo the belief that disparate entities united to form a whole are hopefully greater (and more profound) than the simple sum of parts.
Twelve artist's projects that approach both the nature of the United States as a country and "united states" as the alliance of separate forms, entities, or conditions of being.Timed to coincide with the 2012 American election season, united states is presented at a time when political and social divisions in this country are readily apparent, and polarization on many major issues is at an historical high.
united states includes projects by Jane Benson, Alison Crocetta, Celeste Fichter, Erika Harrsch, Sui Jianguo, Nina Katchadourian, Matthew Northridge, Risa Puno, John Stoney, Frances Trombly, Rosemary Williams, and Jenny Yurshansky, as well as solo exhibitions by Pedro Barbeito, Jonathan Brand, Brody Condon, Brad Kahlhamer, Brian Knep, Erik Parker, and Hank Willis Thomas.
The artists included in Paradox: The Limits of Liberty reflect in a critical manner on contemporary forms of tensions:
war –Gordon Cheung, Piers Secunda-, democracy -Alex Rodríguez, Majeed Beenteha-, religion –Yvette Mattern, Eugenio Merino, Andrés Serrano-, celebrity -Erwin Olaf-, gender –Eli Cortiñas, Erika Harrsch-, and individual freedom –Siri Hermansen, Terry Rodgers.
Paradoxically, the experience of more liberty generates even more fear of liberty. Maybe we should ask ourselves where the limits in our aspirations towards liberty are… Paco Barragán
Erika Harrsch: Inverted Sky
Erika Harrsch's solo show transforms ArtGate Gallery into a laboratory for thought on the joys and challenges that emerge from the intertwining of our lives in one global community. The thought-provoking installations, kites, entomological boxes, and paintings of Inverted Sky create a weave of intersecting perspectives: lives of individuals in nature, scientific calculation, commerce and trade, and questions of global ethics.
The exhibition invites the spectator to reflect, as the animated fluttering of paper butterflies in the installation Cashcube beckon viewers inside to witness species of currency butterflies. Some of these monetized butterflies are pinned etymologically as extinct specimens ready for inspection. Others migrate across paintings, sometimes freely and unpredictably, at other times suffering from the effects of economic choices on the natural environment. Harrsch invites us to consider how our lives are enmeshed in relations of interdependency.
The artworks in this exhibition depict a weave of parallel paths and interdependent dimensions that open up alternative outcomes in the search for new utopias. Will the precision of scientific objectification finally pin unique individuals into lifelessness? Both the strength of a surrealist-like humor and the brilliantly colored species of butterfly-currencies suggest otherwise: nature and its interdependent individuals, no matter how much late-modern technicians predict, measure, and manage.
The professional grade etymological butterfly boxes containing extinct European currencies -- Papilionnumismia Ephemerae Europeae -- are surely sites of reflection. Delicate and free flutterings of fragile living individuals may yet create a promising inversion, where unreachable, cloud-like imaginings float down to earth and transform a commodified environment back into an incarnate atmosphere open to creativity. In the new painting Twist, butterflies maneuver in an openness of air with uncharted possibilities. The sky is alive and there is an inversion at play.
Inverted Sky suggests a turning over of conventions and norms. Yet, exactly which inversions will emerge – and from what sources -- remains a question. On the one hand, the painting Melt shows a volcanic eruption, where the natural environment spews dust and smoke enough to paralyze a whole continent of finely-engineered aircraft. Nearby, wayward technologies spill oil. Both dust and oil cannot be separated from rivers and blood streams, visible in nearby parts of the composition. As the painting Pump suggests, the spell of spirals exists in the same world that displays ink-like splashes of petroleum sludge. Harrsch invites each viewer to palpitate and ponder the pathways that are now unfolding for us. . She subverts easy stereotypes and leads viewers to the work of questioning, without imposing closure or set answers.
Harrsch's oeuvre confronts pressing issue with spirited and compelling directness. The exhibition includes a whimsical sixteen-foot Dragon Kite, where fabric of spinnaker nylon displays an image of Mao enlarged from fragments of Chinese currency. The Dragon and the US Currency Kites premiering at ArtGate Gallery will fly prodigiously the financial center of Manhattan, at the River-to-River festival, in June of this year.

MILLER, Justice:
Barey Frasher and his wife, Cloie, appeal an order which cancelled a deed given them by their grandfather, Galley Frasher, citing two principal grounds of error. First, that the lower court erred in finding there was a total failure of consideration for the deed when Barey and his wife refused to continue to support the grantors, Galley Frasher and his wife. In this connection, they claim that the obligation to support was by virtue of an oral agreement which was barred by the Statute of Frauds, W.Va.Code, 55-1-1(f).
The events leading to this litigation are that the grantors, Galley Frasher and his wife, were in their middle seventies and in poor health. They lived in Wayne County in a home on 3.8 acres of land, which was their only substantial asset.
During early March, 1974, Galley Frasher was hospitalized for surgery, and apparently there was some doubt about the prospects for his recovery. At that time, Barey and Cloie, along with their children, moved into the grantors' home to care for Galley's wife. The grantees assumed part of the grocery and utility expenses and assisted with the domestic tasks of cleaning, washing and cooking. After the grantor was released from the hospital, he and his grandson had numerous conversations about the transfer of the house and property. The services of an attorney were sought.
In a meeting at the grantors' home, the attorney was instructed to prepare a deed conveying a remainder interest in the real estate to grantors' grandson Barey and his wife, while reserving a life estate therein to the grantors. No other conditions or restrictive covenants were included in the document. The deed was prepared and subsequently executed on March 26, 1974.
At trial the attorney and several witnesses testified that there were prior discussions between the parties as to the grantees supporting the grantors. It is not disputed that no money was paid for the deed, which recited the value of the property to be $15,500.
Grantees lived on the property, sharing expenses and domestic tasks with grantors until November, 1974. At that time, the grantees left the property and temporarily resided at a cousin's home. The accounts of the parties differ as to what precipitated grantees' departure. Grantee Cloie Frasher testified that there were several incidents between March and November, 1974, in which Galley Frasher made improper advances or physically touched her. She further testified that the last such incident provoked an argument and resulted in her relating the incident to his wife.
After being away from the Frasher property about a week, grantees and their children returned, but the parties were unable to live in harmony. The final incident was triggered by an argument over utility bills. The primary protagonists were Galley Frasher and his granddaughter-in-law. He accused her of calling him a liar and threatened to strike her, but she shoved him away. He threw a coffee cup at her, but missed, and then went to his bedroom and obtained his shotgun. She seized a butcher knife, which her husband took away from her. The grantor brandished the shotgun at her, but his grandson was able to take it away from him. The grantees then obtained a warrant against Galley Frasher for brandishing a deadly weapon, but dropped
In February of 1975 this suit was filed by Galley Frasher and his wife. The latter died during the pendency of this action.
The theory of this suit is that the deed transferring a remainder interest in the real estate was based on the consideration that the grantees would support the grantors for their respective lives. The complaint alleged that the grantees moved off the property and failed to support the grantors, and cancellation of the deed was sought.
The grantees contend the deed contained no express language showing it was given in consideration of their obligation to support the grantors. They further contend that there was no written support agreement and, consequently, proof of an oral support agreement would not suffice, as it was an obligation that could not be performed within one year, and would thus be barred by our Statute of Frauds, W.Va. Code, 55-1-1(f).
An examination of our law in the area of a deed given in return for support of the grantor demonstrates that it is difficult to formulate many general rules, simply because the cases turn on their particular facts or the specific language of the deed or underlying support agreement.
It may be stated that where equitable relief is sought by way of rescission of a deed for support because of an alleged failure of consideration by the grantee resulting from the grantee's neglect in supporting the grantor, this Court has not required proof of a formal written agreement of support. We have permitted the grantor to show the true nature of the consideration as the obligation to support, even though there is a recited monetary consideration in the deed. Our most analogous case is Wilfong v. Johnson, 41 W.Va. 283, 23 S.E. 730 (1895), where the deed was absolute on its face and recited a consideration of $50.00. The Court permitted parol proof of the support obligation to show that there had been a total failure of consideration:
The emphasized portion from Wilfong suggests an answer to the Statute of Frauds argument, which is that the grantor's complete performance of his portion of the oral contract for support, by delivery of the deed, overcomes the defense of the Statute. We have followed the general rule that where one party fully performs on an agreement that would otherwise be barred by the Statute of Frauds, he is entitled to sue the other party for performance. Stump v. Harold, 125 W.Va. 254, 23 S.E.2d 656 (1942); Chitwood v. Collins, 122 W.Va. 267, 8 S.E.2d 830 (1940); Wilson v. Starbuck, 116 W.Va. 554, 556-57, 182 S.E. 539, 540, 102 A.L.R. 485, 487 (1935); Smith v. Black, 100 W.Va. 433, 130 S.E. 657 (1925); A. Corbin, Contracts § 457, 458 (1950); Restatement of Contracts §§ 178, 198 (1932); Annot., 6 A.L.R.2d 1053, 1111.
The important point here is that the grantors, as in most support deed cases, do not seek to have the support obligation enforced. Rather, they wish to have the deed rescinded or cancelled because they find the personal services and living conditions unworkable or nonexistent. Consequently,
Since rescission or cancellation of a deed is an equitable remedy, failure of consideration need not be the only basis on which relief may be granted. Other grounds, such as hardship, undue influence or fraud, may be available, as noted in 26 C.J.S. Deeds § 21b:
See generally 6 G. Thompson, Real Property § 3117 (1962); 1 H. Tiffany, Real Property § 216 (3rd ed. 1939); Annot., 112 A.L.R. 670; Note, 30 W.Va.L.Q. 120 (1924).
Grantees cite Oates v. Oates, 127 W.Va. 469, 33 S.E.2d 457 (1945), and Farrar v. Young, W.Va., 216 S.E.2d 575 (1975), for the proposition that the consideration recited in a deed is sufficient to make it valid. They also point to our recent case of North American Royal Coal Co. v. Mountaineer Developers, Inc., W.Va., 239 S.E.2d 673, 675 (1977), as imposing only a minimal standard to determine the adequacy of consideration, which is: ". . . some right, interest, profit or benefit accruing to one party, or some forbearance, detriment, loss or responsibility given, suffered, or undertaken by another." North American, however, did not involve a support deed, and as we have previously noted courts, in suits for rescission of a deed for failure of consideration, will look behind the recited consideration where support is claimed as the true consideration for the deed.
Oates and Farrar do involve support deeds. In Oates, an aged husband conveyed his property to his wife and reserved a life estate to himself. The deed recited a consideration of $10.00 and required the grantee, the wife, to attend and provide for the grantor. This Court rejected the theory that the support obligation on the part of the wife was the primary consideration, since:
With the wife's support obligation voided as an element of consideration, the Court concluded that the recited consideration of $10.00 was adequate absent a further showing of "undue influence, duress, fraud, or other vitiating circumstance." 127 W.Va. at 476, 33 S.E.2d at 460. It is apparent that the public policy precluding a wife from having a duty to support her husband rendered the support obligation moot as a factor bearing on the adequacy of the consideration. This makes Oates distinguishable from the present case, where there is no legal bar to the grantees' support obligation.
In Farrar, suit was filed by the heirs-at-law of a deceased grantor to cancel a deed given by him to his granddaughter and her husband, which provided an obligation for grantor's support. The recited consideration was $1.00. While the heirs contended
"`The right of cancellation for failure to furnish support is personal to the grantor, and is not transferred to his heirs or devisees.'" [216 S.E.2d at 579]
Here, the Farrar rule does not apply since the grantors brought this suit to set the deed aside. There are, of course, occasions where the duty to support a third party is clearly spelled out by the grantor in the deed, and in this event the third party may enforce the obligation against the grantee. Johnson's Administrator v. Billups, 23 W.Va. 685 (1884). No claim is made here that rights of creditors or third parties are involved. Wilfong v. Johnson, 41 W.Va. 283, 23 S.E. 730 (1895); McClure v. Cook, 39 W.Va. 579, 20 S.E. 612 (1894).
Grantees contend the evidence did not warrant the conclusion that they failed in their support obligation, as the personal conduct of the grantor, Galley Frasher, rendered such performance impossible. As a general proposition our law on deeds for support favors the grantor and where discord arises between the parties resulting in the cessation of support by the grantee, the grantor is entitled to the benefit of all reasonable doubt. This principle is founded upon the eminently practical consideration that a grantor, by conveying his real estate, has given a substantial asset in return for the rendition of personal services which may be subject to the capriciousness of the grantee. Woven through our support deed cases is the concern that once the deed is given the grantor loses his economic position, and as a consequence has little leverage to ensure that the grantee will render proper support. This rule is found in the syllabus of Chambers v. Roper, 119 W.Va. 338, 193 S.E. 570 (1937):
In Chambers, the grantor was a retired railroad employee who at age 72 conveyed his property to a husband and wife in return for their supporting him the rest of his life. As sometimes happens, the parties found they could not live together harmoniously. A substantial part of the problem was the grantor's lifestyle, as summarized by this Court:
Notwithstanding the grantor's contribution to the disharmony, this Court concluded he was entitled to regain the possession of the property. The grantees, however, were entitled to be reimbursed for the improvements they had placed on the property.
In discussing a support deed, we said in Cales v. Ford, 126 W.Va. 158, 168, 28 S.E.2d 429, 434 (1943):
Strock v. MacNicholl, 196 Va. 734, 85 S.E.2d 263 (1955), follows Blose and both cases contain citations to a number of other jurisdictions subscribing to the foregoing rule of construction.
We also recognize that here the trial court heard this case without a jury because it was predicated on equitable principles. Its evaluation of the witnesses and evidence is entitled to peculiar weight and will not be disturbed on appeal unless clearly wrong. Bailey v. Savage, W.Va., 236 S.E.2d 203 (1977); Mahoney v. Walter, W.Va., 205 S.E.2d 692 (1974).
When the evidence is tested by the foregoing rules, we can find no error in the trial court's holding which absolved the grantor, Galley Frasher, from conduct sufficient to justify a denial of the request for rescission. Tested by the facts found in Chambers, supra, his conduct was far less reproachful.
We, therefore, find that the trial court committed no error and affirm its judgment.
"No action shall be brought in any of the following cases:
"(f) Upon any agreement that is not to be performed within a year;
"Unless the promise, contract, agreement, representation, assurance, or ratification, or some memorandum or note thereof, be in writing and signed by the party to be charged thereby or his agent. . . ."

i'm a little curious about installing the beacon and stabilizer on a MOW jet pack. the base of the beacon is not threaded very deep, so i'm guessing it's not supposed to come through from inside the jp. so should i drill a hole for feeding wires through from the inside then goop the base externally so i can easily remove the beacon by unscrewing it?
on the stabilizer side there's already an elevated section for the resin stab that comes with the kit. should i grind that down and drill a hole through so it can attach on the inside?

It should be remembered that there are a couple of things that should be prioritized by those who want to become really prepared in times of turmoil. The bug out bag checklist that is explained on the succeeding paragraphs can be essential with regard to this matter.
Food and Water
Food and water are the most important commodities during times of survival and getting a hold of them can be close to impossible during emergency situations. For this reason, it would be best to invest in lightweight water pouches or have the ability to treat or filter water on the go as well as a supply of nutritious, easy to prepare food for your bug out bag. Also, a small, portable camp stove could definitely come in handy.
Lighting and Communication Equipment
Two way radios, satellite cellular phones, and other communication equipment are important because they can be used to communicate to the outside world. In addition to the said commodities, durable and weather proof flashlights should also be at hand.
The said accessories will not only provide proper lighting, they can also be for self defense, construction, and other life-saving activities. When purchasing flashlights, survival preppers should turn to units that are built to withstand impact and the test of time.
Also, when on the road, never underestimate the usefulness of a small, collapsible rifle for light defense and small-game hunting.
Tent and Fire Starters
During survival times, quality tents and fire starters are essential commodities as they can be exceedingly handy during camp out situations. The good thing about them is survival tube tents, waterproof matches, and lighters can also be bought at very affordable rates.
With regard to fire, it should be remembered that it can be used for cooking and warmth as such, no bug out bag is complete without fire starters.
In addition to the above mentioned items, there are several other bug out bag contents that should be prioritized by those who want to make sure that they will survive any natural disaster. Those who want to become acquainted with them are encouraged to visit online resources.
During emergency times, the most important thing to do is to make sure that everything that needs to survive is at hand. Also, it should be noted that bug out bags are not for comfort or style; they are built for one thing: survival.

Timing of N[ Factorial[4000000], 18]
How long does it take Mathematica 7 to compute
N[ Factorial[4000000], 18]
With the old version of Mathematica I have it takes a very long time,
and I was wondering if Mathematica 7 is much better. You might ask why
I wanted to do that. Well I wanted to see how quickly Stirling's
formula approaches Factorial[n] for large n.

Like lilacs out of the dead land, burnt orange and maroon ribbons are blooming across America, sad reminders of the tragedy that befell a small college campus last week. These are Virginia Tech University's colours, and this is the custom after tragedy. Tied to car antennae, pinned to lapels, even uploaded to Facebook profiles, tragedy ribbons give viewers - as all of us are, who were not there - some purchase on the horror. There's another colour, black. Photographs from Seung-Hui Cho's multimedia manifesto, mailed to and then broadcast by NBC, reveal the menacing mass killer dressed head to toe in black; NBC branded the killers' photographs with its own prominent logo: the bright-coloured NBC peacock, absurdly out of place, set within a textbox that outlines Cho's black image.
Columnist Jonah Goldberg complained loudly about the mainstream media's coverage of the VA Tech slayings, describing it as "emotional vampirism". Certainly, Cho knew well enough where to send his multimedia manifesto. He knew what would come of it. But it's not the press manufacturing sensation, and it's not viewers demanding it, either. Viewers are writing and producing it. Sick or sage, it starts with us.
Citizen journalists, enabled today in a way that wasn't possible even as recently as September 11, 2001, will make the theatre that the mainstream media doesn't provide. There's a literal example in Richard McBeef: a one-act play by Cho. Discovered in the news hunt following the killings, the play opens with a question many would like to ask Cho - "Why are you so angry?" - and unfolds as one long diatribe of an answer. An allusion to Hamlet, the summit of Cho's literary ambitions, carries the story: Cho's protagonist says that his no-good stepfather, McBeef, killed his father. More darkly, Cho hints at - no, blusters about - the many categories of abuse that we have come to suspect motivate a monster.
To determine "how we should respond to the art of evil people" is the reason for performing Richard McBeef, explained a member of the Richard McBeef performers, the volunteer troupe who alerted me to the phenomenon by e-mailing their YouTube link. Others have cottoned on to the same strategy of mediation: there are dozens of readings, performances, and mashups of Richard McBeef available on YouTube. Much of the response in the legitimate press, even when mentioned in passing, has been fearful and dismissive. By some accounts, it is not even a play, and many reports are quick to describe the play as execrable - as if readers might be transformed to beasts themselves just by the knowledge of Cho's writings.
People are examining the play, yet few are giving it a straight reading. Perhaps even the performers are weirded out by what they are attempting. Maybe they intend to undermine Cho by attacking his art: an outlet for revenge, where so few are available. In one reading, the protagonist seems autistic, and the characters look silly. There's the Muppets version. One montage of the NBC photographs and text from Richard McBeef is set to a Paris Hilton song, which doesn't make much sense except insofar as Paris Hilton is universally greeted as a negative. In addition to the mock plays, there are many more typical YouTube features: for example, a fake news interview with a former roommate of Cho's, who explains that he suspected trouble when he caught Cho having sex with an ostrich.
The support forums for Cho's victims are not so contentious - though they are less straightforward than they appear, and it's not entirely clear what the support means to Blacksburg, Virginia. People living as far as suburban Phoenix or downtown Spokane have taken up Va Tech ribbons. "We are all Hokies" - a refrain posted on hundreds of online supports groups this week - is undeniably sympathic. But, like the theatre troupes' engagement with Cho's evil, it is not a direct engagement with the victims' grief. It would be inhuman, truly, to feel no shock or remorse; a gesture of solidarity is hardly suspect. Yet some shows of support are more far-removed: See, for example, "Alabama's Universities Coming Together for Virginia Tech" - a Facebook show of solidarity about showing solidarity.
If the forums aren't always a straightforward participation in victims' grief, neither is a straightforward Richard McBeef reading participation in evil. "We are not all Cho Seung-Hui", the performers seem to be saying, "but we don't know why". Examining Cho's art may not be palatable or, ultimately, all that fruitful - and it is creepy, no question. But it's the kind of work that scholars and historians do when they try to understand the problem of evil. Whatever Cho's one-acts do or do not say, writing him off as an abstract evil tells us nothing.
The thing that distinguishes the VA Tech atrocity, beyond its record as the most heinous shooting massacre in US history, is the speed with which the Internet has extracted and catalyzed and digested these elements of grief and evil. It's happening without any prompting from the media. As far as tastefulness is concerned, there is no longer any such thing as "too soon".

Slan (original 1946; edition 2003)
by Alfred Elton Van Vogt, Augusta Mattioli (Translator)
Work details
Slan by A. E. Van Vogt (1946)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a book I've wanted to read for a long time, finally that time arrived over the weekend. One of the real classics of the genre and it did not disappoint this reader at least. Written at a time when war and world domination was uppermost in peoples minds it's hardly surprising that this book follows those story lines.
We follow the life of a young Slan, (Slan: named after the scientist Samuel Lann in the book), Jommy as he learns about his abilities. Why his kind are hated by humans and why he is even hated by what appear to be his own kind.
This book is full of secret societies, natural hatred and enemies along with a few twists and turns from unexpected quarters. Although written in the early 40's this book ages well and most of the ideas are still quite believable.
I ploughed through this book, picking it up whenever I had five minutes to spare and thoroughly enjoyed every word. An excellent read in my opinion.
A classic short sf novel of 1940, and one that will surely be in the running for next year's Retro Hugos. Our two protagonists are slans with telepathic superpowers, running the gauntlet of the oppressive government of normal humans, aided only by powerful secret weaponry. It's obviously a bit of a fable for fans of earlier days; now that geek culture has gone mainstream, I don't think it resonates as much, and some of the social attitudes of the writing were already out of date by 1940. I suspect it has a good shot at the Retro Hugo, but not with my vote.
This book speaks volumes about the difference in publishing between today and the '40s/50's/pick-an-olden-time. And maybe this comes from having just recently finished the 900+ pages of the latest volume of Game of Thrones. But one of my first impressions (beyond being impressed with the overall quality of the book) was that there is so much crammed in these 176 pages I couldn't help but think how easily it could be converted into a multi-book extravaganza.
On the one hand I think it is a pity that the story has not been fleshed out that way. On the other hand, the result is a tight, complete story that is far from bogged down in detail.
The upshot - It is a most excellent book. (I want to say novel, which, I guess it is, but by today's standards it might come in as a novelette. A mere quibble. I digress.)
It is the story of the Slan – humans who have special abilities which include the ability to read minds. The book follows the lives of two young Slan – separate stories that eventually come together – and it is a story that, in a very few pages, spans a great amount of time (taking the two protagonists well into adulthood) and themes. It is an exploration of how the Slan obtained their abilities (a major point of the book) and an exploration of the effect of xenophobia on the human race. This was probably a very compelling plot line at the time the book was written. And, in spite of time, it remains relevant and impactful today. Things just don't really change, do they?
There are a number of fascinating characters in the book that are not allowed to develop (again, the limitation placed on the author by the length of the book) and some interesting aspects of the civilization such as a side group of Slan who are not...complete...Slan, and the intrigue that is going on among the powers that be.
All in all, I wish I could have spent more time with this world and these people. I am not a fan of multi-book stories, but this is begging for a treatment that is, at least, a very long book.
But this is what we have, and it is a good thing to have, nonetheless.
By the way, to type the first line of this review I had to go back and look at the original publication date. I was shocked to see 1946. Aside from my comments about how slim the volume is, it should be emphasized and reemphasized that this book stands up in today's world. Van Vogt is a great, unsung writer of the past. And this book is evidence of just how good he was.
Reactions upon reading this book in 1991. Spoilers follow.
I expected to like this book since I've liked the van Vogt short stories I've read. I did not like it. In fact, I found its 176 pages a tedious read.
I suppose part of it may have been its pulpiness, but I've read pulp I've liked. I like baroque plots, so I don't think I objected to the idea of back stage manipulations and twists and turns per se. But I don't think van Vogt handled it well. His idiosyncratic method of 800 word scenes was usually obvious and kind of fun to look for. But too much was left for the end-chapter revelations instead of being revealed piecemeal like more convential mystery/suspense plots. Van Vogt's 800 word method may prevent that.
The return, at end, of the allegedly dead Kathleen Layton Gray caught me by surprise, I must admi,t though it's very typical for sf of the period (must end with that marriage). I'll even admit Kier Gray, world dictator, turning out to be a slan caught me by surpirse; van Vogt effectively defused my suspicions of this in the middle of the novel.
Maybe my expectations killed my enjoyment of this book. Instead of getting a straightforward tale of a manhunt for mutants, I got a quest for a spaceship and manipulators and plot twists aplenty. And I found the payoff of accelerated evolution (to meet the demands of modern civilization), pacifistic slans forciably spurned on by persecution covertly directed by other slans so they can meet the attacks of normal humans, genetic manipulation, and atomic superscience dull and rather contrived.
I did think van Vogt did a good job with the emotional experience of telepathy though not as good as Alfred Bester in The Demolished Man. I thought the moral implications of protagonist Jommy Cross' "hypnotism crystals" terrifying. The slans' plan to re-engineer humans -- symbolized by what Cross does to the grotesque human Granny (an interesting character, perhaps the best done in the novel) psyche without their consent and allegedly for their own good raises moral questions.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312852363, Paperback)Slan is legendary science fiction author A. E. Van Vogt's first and best-known novel, back in print from Tor Books's Orb imprint. The story is classic golden age science fiction: Jommy Cross is a slan, a genetically bred superhuman whose race was created to aid humanity but is now despised by "normal" humans. Slans are usually shot on sight, but that doesn't stop Jommy's mother from bringing him to see the world capital of Centropolis, the seat of power for Earth's dictator, Kier Gray. But on their latest trip to Centropolis, the two slans are discovered, and Jommy's mother is killed. Jommy, only 9 years old, unwittingly becomes caught up in a plot to undermine Gray, who may be more sympathetic to slans than the public suspects. The nonstop action and root-for-the-underdog plot has made Slan a science fiction favorite.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:21:15 -0400)
'Slan' is the story of Jommy Cross, the orphan boy mutant, outcast from a future society prejudiced against mutants, who grows up to be a superman and to represent the next stage in human evolution.

This is a discussion on Corbon 9mm JHP +P: shorter than other 9mm brands? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Welcome to CC Mike...
Welcome to CC Mike
Chris - P95
NRA Certified Instructor & NRA Life Member.
"To own a gun and assume that you are armed
is like owning a piano and assuming that you are a musician!."
http://www.rkba-2a.com/ - a portal for 2A links, articles and some videos.
Each box of Pow'r Ball 9mm 100gr +P is as follows: Part# PB09100/20, Lot# 20061201 (imprinted inside the box flap on one end). I've still got three boxes of the Pow'r Ball left. The boxes for the couple of batches I shot have since been discarded, but I'm pretty sure the lot numbers were the same as above. Hadn't been keeping written track of the PN/Lot combinations of my ammo until just this past month.
Love the rounds, and I've had good success in some other pistols. But, neither the Pow'r Ball nor the standard JHP will feed worth a darn in my two current 9mm pistols (CZ P01 and Browning BDM). I'm guessing, but it seems the main difference is the overall length, as compared to other ammo. The photo above and in the link below show the comparative lengths of the ammo I've been using.
I'll also send you an email to confirm.
BTW, I also took a photo of the relative lengths of the Pow'r Ball vs Remington/UMC vs Federal HST, during a range session on Oct 21.
In that range session, I also shot several hundred of the DoubleTap +P rounds in 115gr, 124gr and 147gr. They were noticeably smoother cycling through the CZ P01. Very smooth. Given the recent trigger/action work I'd had on the P01, it's now possible to feel the relative "grittiness" or smoothness of a given round, strange though that seems. By far, the DoubleTap rounds were the smoothest I have run through this gun ... and I've put more than a dozen various rounds through it, while testing its tolerance for different loads.
Again, it's only my theory that the overall length is the main contributing factor with the jams. I don't really know for certain. But the same issues occur when shooting the same rounds in my Browning BDM. The shorter rounds have far greater problems, whereas the longest rounds (DT, Federal HST) have practically zero issues. In the CZ P01, I've shot the CorBon JHP's both prior to and following the work, and the Pow'r Balls after the work. Same issues.
Interestingly, in a KelTec P3AT, I've had excellent success with the Federal Premium Personal Defense JHP, and the Remington/UMC FMJ. However, the MagTech Guardian Gold JHP's are too long in the P3AT, such that they won't budge at all in the magazines. The MagTechs won't feed even one round. Another interesting example of relative length playing a role, so far as I can tell.

Abbey Lincoln
Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach were married in 1962, an association that lasted until 1970. They worked together for a while but Lincoln (who found it harder to get work in jazz due to the political nature of some of her music) became involved in acting and did not record as a leader during 1962-1972. She finally recorded for Inner City in 1973 and gradually became more active in jazz. Her two Billie Holiday tribute albums for Enja (1987) showed listeners that the singer was still in her prime, and she recorded several excellent sets for Verve in the 1990s. In the following years, she released a handful of recordings including Over the Years in 2000; It's Me in 2003; and her final recording, Abbey Sings Abbey, in 2007. Abbey Lincoln died in New York City on August 14, 2010; she was 80 years old. Because she put so much thought into each of her recordings, it is not an understatement to say that every set she issued is well worth owning. ~ Scott Yanow

AIRprentice 2012: Day One Photos
With day one of AIRprentice 2012 behind us, we have asked our competitors for some submissions. On the riders' side, we are looking for a blog to be published by Sunday morning, and from the photographers we wanted a sample of a few photos. The rider blogs are below, but best viewed through the bulletin board HERE. The Money Shot photographer submissions are below Paul's words and photos. Enjoy and please leave a comment for the competitors!
Crystal clear skies and ultra-tacky Silver Star dirt welcomed our 2012 AIRprenti with open arms, as the majority of the group hit the hill for a sunrise shoot this morning. After congregating for breakfast, we let the boys rip a few laps, then moved on to session a freshly tuned Pro Star and its new extension, Walk The Line.
An extremely wet June has finally given way to warmer weather and drier trails, and just in time the jumps are running great. Bringing the riders together to session the big features, it soon became apparent that this year, talent is both abundant and diverse. An eclectic array of bikes and riding styles, from single brake dirt jumpers to race ready downhill sleds. As always it was awesome to see what each rider has to bring to the table.
There has already been no shortage of shredding for the Money Shot contenders to feast their lenses on, and it looks like there is plenty more to come!
2010 AIRprentice winner Matt Montandon rocked up right as the crew rolled into the first lap. It didn't take him long to get up to speed and set the bar for this year's AIRprenti.
Stephane Pelletier leads Mike Brothers into a whip train on the big step up on Pro Star.

Every rider has something to bring to the table. Mike Brothers had a one-footer to bring to his.

Unfortunately Paul Stevens recently broke his thumb and wasn't able to ride with us this weekend… but the silver lining is that he got behind the lens and caught the action for us while the Money Shot shooters focused on their own projects. Walk The Line is damn sweet too…

But shop workers union USDAW believes more than 4,000 workers in the final-salary scheme risk a poorer retirement. It is seeking counsel's opinion on contesting BFG's move through the courts. The move follows a climbdown by accountant Ernst & Young over the closure of its final-salary scheme after a legal challenge by a group of employees.
BFG and E&Y stunned the City when they announced plans to shut their final-salary schemes to both new and existing staff. Many big firms have closed their schemes to new workers, but most allow present members to carry on building up benefits. After consultation with staff, BFG, led by chief executive Bill Grimsey, is offering to pay higher contributions to the new fund, according to a formula based on an employee's age and length of service. It has also improved the benefits to be paid from the closed scheme.
Terry Savage of USDAW said: 'Their proposals are better, but still not as good as a final-salary scheme.' BFG said it could not comment on the possible legal action.

As I cannot think of a better title. I used the eyeshadow name of my FOTD. Haha!
My dear friend, Eric, celebrated his birthday last Thursday and invited us for dinner. It was me, H, Eric and Bibi. But before I went to GB5 to meet up with them, there were chores that H and I had to do first. So I had to make sure that I don't wear an evening makeup, for I will look so funny wearing heavy makeup and working in the morning.
Products Used:
Skin Hour Mattifying Day Cream
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals in Buff
Dream Minerals Setting Powder in Gaia (as I needed the matte finish)
Fanny Serrano 2 way foundation in Rajah
Fanny Serrano blush brownish red and cool pink shades (I gotta do swatches of this or at least use numbers so you guys can see.)
Clinique All About Eyes Rich
Max Factor Panstick in True Beige as concealer
Urban Decay Primer Potion Original
MAC Eyeshadow in Bottle Green
Elianto Eyeshadow in Black for outer V
Elianto Eyeshadow in Off White for highlight
Elianto Eyeshadow in Tan for crease, to blend
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara
Modelco Eyebrow Kit in Dark
MAC Browset in Beguile
MAC Gilded Kiss
I didn't put eyeliner on the lower lashline to keep my face looking fresh and not to make my eye makeup harsher and darker. I just brought some tools for retouching. And when we finished our chores, I added liner on my eyes and gave myself a different lip shade.
Etude House Lipliner 07
MAC Lipglass for gloss
I didn't use any lipstick. :) Just kept the shade looking natural, as the main focus was my eye makeup.
Here's my eye makeup:
The only difference is I tightlined, I used Blacktrack on my waterline for a more dramatic look. :)
Which look do you like better? :)
