- The cancellation of all equity interests in the Company, with such equity interests receiving seven year warrants for 6.0% of the New Genco Equity struck at a $1.295 billion equity valuation (the "New Genco Warrants") from the consideration that would otherwise be provided to the holders of Prepetition 2007 Facility Claims and Convertible Note Claims (each as defined in the Prepack Plan) in exchange for the cancellation or surrender of such equity interests; and
- Genco will conduct a $100 million rights offering for 8.7% of the pro forma equity of the reorganized company.

NEW YORK, April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (NYSE: GNK) ("Genco" or the "Company") today announced that – consistent with its previously disclosed Restructuring Support Agreement with certain of the lenders under its $1.1 billion secured credit facility entered into in 2007 (the "2007 Facility Lenders"), its $253 million secured credit facility (the " $253 Million Facility Lenders"), and its $100 million secured credit facility (the " $100 Million Facility Lenders"), as well as certain holders of the Company's 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due August 15, 2015 ("the Noteholders") – it and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions to implement a prepackaged financial restructuring that is expected to reduce the Company's total debt by approximately $1.2 billion and enhance its financial flexibility. Importantly, all operating entities are expected to continue normal operations during the pendency of the financial restructuring. Baltic Trading and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are not included in the court-supervised restructuring. Baltic Trading is a separate public company from Genco, with an independent Board of Directors and separate financing. Baltic Trading is expected to continue operating in the normal course. "Today, with the strong support of our lenders and noteholders, we are moving forward with our previously announced restructuring plan," said John C. Wobensmith, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe the financial restructuring will provide an expedited path to significantly strengthen Genco's balance sheet and improve the Company's financial flexibility. Our operations are strong, and once our restructuring is completed, we believe we will be well-positioned for continued growth and success. We continue to leverage our efficient cost structure and opportunistic time charter approach to manage through the drybulk shipping cycle. We look forward to continuing to provide our chartering customers the same high quality, reliable shipping services they've come to consistently expect from Genco." As previously disclosed, the terms of the restructuring include, among other things:

You mean like this?
Best bang for your buck hands down. I've got one for each vehicle
[QUOTE=STLRampage;2401472]Best bang for your buck hands down. I've got one for each vehicle
I have one, it is very versatile and I use in the car, use it as my travel safe and is a perfect TSA compliant lockable case for air travel. You cannot beat the price. I like the fact that when the cable is attached to the seat rail, there is enough slack to pull the safe onto my lap to remove my firearm.
You say portable, but something that mounts. Have to assume that 'portable' means 'moves with the vehicle'.
The console vault mentioned above sounds like a solid system, but the small box is also an option - I like the GunVault MicroVault for the combination options. You could bolt just about any small box to the floor if desired.

P.S. - you can get the MicroVault on Amazon for half the suggested retail price listed at GunVault.
As stated Center of Mass gun safe
Thanks guys, your help is much appreciated. Eeyorecc that is exactly what I am looking for. The Center Mass box is so inexpensive, I may just own both!!
"or better yet, mold the bottom to the driveshaft hump? "
Might want to mold it to the top of the hump. It's tough crawling under the vehicle to access the bottom of the hump. ;-) Plus the driveshaft is in the way.
Check out Nano Vaults also they offer a lot of options I use this in my Cars and Motorcycle They have a cable that you secure then it has an end that locks in the safe you can leave the cable and remove the safe it you want with no tools
Here's what I use. I've got one mounting plate screwed down just under the edge of my bed, and one behind the seat in my F150.
It came with big self tapping screws, so you shouldn't need to crawl under your truck.
The safe snaps on/off of the mounting plate while its unlocked so you can carry it around.
It is built like a tank. I'm pretty sure it would take a cutting torch to get it open.
The only bummer is that right after I bought it I cleaned my gun while it was inside and the solvent ate a huge hole in the foam.:confused:
Attachment 63475
Here's the link:http://www.carryvault.com
I have a 08 Cadi Cts and have the below linked safe mounted in my trunk. It allows me to be very stealth and easy to get to when I need it. I recent had my car broken into with my XD40 in the trunk safe, they didn't even see it. I have mine mounted to the top of my trunk and the safe door flops down when
opened, with the sliding tray. Very cool setup.

Manager Danny Lennon is looking to end Celtic's 11-game winning run in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League when the Hoops visit St Mirren.
Included in that impressive streak of form which has taken Neil Lennon's side two points clear of Rangers at the top of the table is a 5-0 win over the Buddies at Parkhead in November.
Saints boss Lennon said: "Celtic have been absolutely terrific and it is a terrific run. They had a stop-start situation at the beginning of the season so Neil Lennon and his staff have to take a great deal of credit for that run and getting to the top of the table. It is fantastic management. But we hope we can bring it to a halt tomorrow."
He added: "Our level of performances have been excellent regardless of the fact that Rangers (on Christmas Eve) was the last SPL game we won.
"We have not had the results to go with those performances and that has been disappointing for us.
"We feel that whenever we take to the field we have an opportunity and we are certainly in a better position now than when we went to Celtic Park the last time.
"We learned a great deal from that game and so hopefully we can put a spanner in Celtic's good run."

Problems with Whirlpool Dryer Hookup! Help!
Our original Whirlpool dryer lastest 18 years. My father installed it and we never had a problem.
A few weeks ago, the dryer stopped working. Dad called Best Buy and ordered a brand new Whirlpool dryer. (Mod WGD5200VQ1) For over a week now, he has been trying to figure out how to hook it up!
The threads on the flex gas line do not match up with the gas pipe on the dryer. Both the flex line fitting and the gas pipe on the dryer are the same size, which is 5/8th" OD. The threads on the pipe from the dryer, run to the left.
We contacted Best Buy and Whirlpool, but neither were very helpful to a DIYer! Whirlpool did say the dryer was under warranty, so they would be happy to send what we needed. We also know we can buy a hook-up kit from a local hardware store, but we need to know which one! (or is there a part or separate parts?)
Are all new dryers the same as our new Whirlpool or is this something "special?" (Best Buy was really pushing electric. We had to ask if the dryer we chose was gas.) Our old dryer did not have threads that ran to the left. Would someone bring us up to speed and kindly tell us what our options are, as far as how to hook it up under the current conditions. If not, then we need to return it and look for something else.
Thanks for the help
"runs to the left" ?? like a gas grille?...this dryer[all dryers] have right hand thread. this dryer has a 3/8" npt pipe coming out the rear. you need an elbow to adapt from this to your flex line. you need to purchase a new [don't use old flex line]. unit sholud have come with install instructions. go on Whirl web site to download.

text: A host of market data reinforces the shift in the cloud from legacy on-premise systems to modern cloud applications:In a May 8, 2013 report by Investment Banking Firm Barclays, SAP's "core" business (defined by Barclays as license sales excluding Hana and Mobility) shrank by 9.2% in 1Q13, and shrank by .4% over a rolling 4 quarters[1]. On the other hand, NetSuite's continued investment in manufacturing functionality and manufacturing capabilities has resulted in more than 60% growth in 2012 total manufacturing bookings over the prior fiscal year. "While SAP is busy talking about database technologies that are irrelevant to manufacturers, NetSuite is investing in next-generation cloud application solutions and partnerships that transform manufacturers' capabilities. And NetSuite's fast-growing customer base of manufacturers testifies to the appetite of global manufacturers for the transformational capacity of cloud solutions," said Zach Nelson, NetSuite CEO. A survey of manufacturers by the research and advisory firm Mint Jutras, found that interest in cloud ERP for manufacturing rose to a record high of 51 percent in 2012, up from 42 percent in 2011. "According to my latest ERP survey, world-class manufacturers are willing to consider cloud-ERP over on-premise by more than a 2 to 1 margin," said Cindy Jutras, Analyst at Mint Jutras. "This could have a very significant impact on ERP selection in the future. NetSuite is well-positioned to take advantage of this trend with their continued investment in functionality to run an entire manufacturing business." Gartner, meanwhile, has predicted that 47 percent of manufacturers worldwide will be using or piloting Software as a Service (SaaS) applications by 2015, up from just 2 percent in 2010[2]. Manufacturing customers like Anisa International, Flogistix, PrimaLoft™, EndoChoice, Memjet, and Jawbone have helped to drive NetSuite's success in the market. This year, Better Energy Systems became the fourth NetSuite customer in a row to receive an annual ML100 award. It joined Malcolite Corporation (2010), Laguna Tools (2011), and GoPro (2012) as recipients of the prestigious industry award for manufacturing leadership. NetSuite's agility and manufacturing functionality has been a game changer for these businesses, helping them transform their business operations.

Vapor barrier seal leak. Been there, done that. Go to the dealer and buy a roll of the the 3M rubber sealer tape/rubber gummy stuff.
Now, here is the easiest way to fix this. First, spray the door, window and seals and get everything wet with your garden hose. Open and check the door jam, there should be some water in there, that is good, now you can trace the source. Remove the door panel, and rather than remove and completely reseal the vapor barrier, simply look around and find the places where it is leaking, you may need a drop light or flashlight to see clearly. Then, when you find a leak, tear a long peice of the tape (at least two or three inches longer than the area affected, and work it into the seam/seal and squish it down under the foam vapor barrier real good. Use your thumbs to press hard and smooth it out. Do this everywhere you see water or wetness. While you are at it, wet and inspect your other doors, you will probably find them leaking, though not enough to cause water on your floor, but if there is water at the bottom of the door jam, that is bad! Fix it. The dealer would completely remove the vapor barrier and reseal, and they were not 100% sucessful, but I did my "patching" method and had better sucess.
Good luck.

Gordon Brown has been urged to use the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war next month to order a full inquiry into the lessons to be learned from the conflict.
The Fabian society, a Labour thinktank, said an inquiry "would ensure that a rounded assessment of the prewar diplomacy, the intelligence failures regarding Iraq's WMD programme, the conduct of the war itself, and the difficulties of postwar political and economic reconstruction could inform future policy".
In a letter to the prime minister, the Fabians' general secretary Sunder Katwala said Labour should be developing "a new progressive foreign policy agenda" in the run-up to the next general election.
"But our ability to pursue this debate within Britain and beyond, and to engage people in it, will depend on acknowledging and learning the lessons of Iraq, showing a clear commitment to building from these to create the new internationalist agenda we need for the future. A public inquiry into Iraq would be an important way to achieve this," Katwala said.
The law lords are currently considering a case bought by the mothers of two soldiers killed in Iraq who are arguing that there should be an inquiry into the war because of the government's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Foreign Office minister Lord Malloch-Brown told peers last month that "the time for an inquiry would come". But he would not be drawn on when that would be.
A Foreign Office spokesman said today the government was not in favour of having an inquiry while there were still "a significant number" of troops on active duty in Iraq.
But he also said that the prime minister had promised to make a statement to the Commons about troop deployment levels in Iraq in the spring.

Celebrating Equestrian Life
Virginia is Horse Country. Plain and simple. Equestrian culture is the lifeblood of the Middleburg and Loudoun County areas, where traditions of hunting, breeding and racing date back to the Revolution. Just as entertainment is the industry and culture of Hollywood, so it goes for horses and the Piedmont. Just walking through Middleburg, there is no mistaking the town's deep-rooted affection for all things equine, as storefronts like the Red Fox Inn, Journeymen Saddlers, Middleburg Tack Exchange and the National Sporting Library and Museum line its main street.
The surrounding area is home to the longest standing equestrian traditions in the country, from annual sporting events to hunt clubs and breeding. For more than 150 years, horse enthusiasts from across the world gather in Upperville for the Upperville Colt and Horse Show, the oldest of its kind in the country, and one that has broken a lot of ground in its lifetime. Founded in 1840, the Piedmont Foxhounds in Virginia was the first foxhunting club in the United States. There even are records indicating that while the earliest politicians were settling matters of our government's foundation, they once interrupted their proceedings to mount their horses and join the chase when a hunt coursed through.
Of course, there is the world famous Gold Cup steeplechase race at Great Meadows in The Plains, which just took place on May 4 to a crowd of some 50,000 attendants. The competition's six hurdle and timber horse races as well as its Jack Russell Terrier races are anticipated equestrian events worldwide (they are well known testing grounds for future Olympic champions), and draw countless vendors, tents and tailgaters.
May 14 – 19
Around Charlottesville, south of Middleburg and Upperville, The 109th Annual Keswick Horse Show will be held again at the historic Keswick showgrounds from Tuesday, May 14 through 19, 2013. The events this year include the Eastminster Dog Show on Wednesday night, May 15, and the "Getting Centered" dinner and silent auction to benefit the Senior Center of Charlottesville on Thursday. The weekend starts with the USHJA National Hunter Derby followed by dinner under the tent Friday night.
Saturday is always a special gathering for the entire community as the Jumper Classic is a beautiful evening that has become a Keswick tradition. Finally, Sunday's Down Home Fish Fry on the porch will be a relaxing conclusion to a wonderful week. www.KeswickHuntClub.com
Trinity Episcopal Church will host its 54th Annual Hunt Country Stable Tour in and around Upperville on Memorial Day weekend, May 25 and 26. A self-guided, countywide tour of all things equestrian, farms, stables and training tracks throughout the county will open their doors for visitors to offer a rare glimpse into the life and industry of the world or horses. The Country Fair at Trinity Church, on the grounds of the church, will also feature horse-themed arts & crafts in conjunction with the event, serving ice cream, treats for dogs and cats and more.
"The Stable Tour is a unique opportunity for the farmers to finally get their barns painted and show them off and teach people about what goes on at each farm," says Betsy Crenshaw, of Trinity Episcopal Church. "And visitors are not otherwise allowed on these farms—these are privately owned farms and businesses. But this weekend, guests can enjoy these beautiful facilities, pet horses and feed them carrots, and enjoy this beautiful exchange. It's also a day in the country—a chance to ride on some dirt roads, get your car good and dirty, and see what makes our area tick—which is the horse."
Among the tour highlights is the Middleburg Training Track, an early-bird special for true horse lovers. This stop is an opportunity to stand rail-side and see Thoroughbreds condition and train. "This is where horses all around Virginia are trained to be race horses," says Crenshaw. "If they are born here, they learn to be racehorses here."
Horses are sent here as yearlings to be broken and begin their preliminary training before proceeding onto national and international tracks. Horses are conditioned year-round and ship out on race day from the track to compete. Built in 1956 by Paul Mellon, the facility features a 7/8-mile track with a four-stall starting gate, eleven barns, a tack room, bunk rooms and a veterinarian's office. The demonstration is Saturday morning only from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. So, don't be late.
On Saturday, May 25, The Piedmont Coaching Club will provide a demonstration, and on Sunday there will be an exhibit of traditional hunting attire. www.TrinityUpperville.org
The Upperville Colt and Horse Show is the nation's oldest horse show, dating back to 1853. Previous to the initiation of this national event, horses and stallions had been exhibited for prizes at country and state fairs, but it is widely accepted that the proper horse show we know today was introduced on the American sporting scene at Upperville. From the first year, there were so many entries and interest was so keen that a sponsoring club was immediately formed, and at the turn of the century, Upperville expanded its mission to become a five-day exhibition with a wide entry list of the finest equestrian talent in the world.
Featuring Hunting, Jumping and Breeding categories, our country's oldest horse show features rider events from children's competitions to Olympic and World Cup riders and horses. The event's beautiful, grassy showgrounds, nestled in Loudoun's rolling foothills, offers visi- tors a packed schedule of daily events steeped in the equestrian tradition, and involves over two thousand horse and rider combinations.
Around the world, horses are bred to jump, and at Upperville, many breeds are represented in the jumper competitions. The European horses, which are generally larger and heavier than most American breeds, are bred both in Europe and the United States specially to be used as sport horses, or riding horses. Grand prix level horses are the most talented jumpers in the show world a successful grand prix horse often has a price tag of $500,000 or more. Young prospects are usually broken to ride at two or three years of age and after training and experience over fences, make it to the jumper show rings. A horse could make it to the grand prix ring at the relatively early age of six or seven years, and continue to compete through its late teens.
The goal of many riders is of course to compete as a member of the United States Equestrian Team and ultimately the Olympics and there is no better place to test the waters than the Upperville Colt and Horse Show. www.Upperville.com
Eden Glen is a small community just outside of Middleburg, known for its longstanding adoration of all things equestrian. Founded in 1787, the community is the year round center for fox hunting, steeplechase racing and polo on the East Coast. Surrounding the park is nothing but grazing land for horses, woods and rivers there is nothing to hear but the sweet songs of nature. A mile and a half from Eden Glen is one of the best riding facilities in the area, Fox Chase. This is the place to go for all riders, with events for children and adults of all ages, where guests are also welcome to board horses. Their most popular event by far is Friday night polo at Great Meadows, which gives spectators an opportunity to see the sport like never before.

Thumbs Up for Success Academy's Move Into Brownstone Brooklyn
The Twitter posts coming out of Newtown High School in Queens on Wednesday night depicted a lively meeting of the Panel for Educational Policy, but for those of you who were not following along, let us cut to the chase: The Success Academy Network of charter schools will be moving into Brooklyn.
Amid insults and accusations, as Fernanda Santos puts it in The New York Times on Thursday, from a boisterous crowd, the panel voted to allow Eva S. Moskowitz's charter network to move into an existing school building on Baltic Street in Cobble Hill that is now occupied by three schools, the Brooklyn School for Global Studies, the School for International Studies and a program for students with disabilities.
The panel, which is the legislative vehicle for City Department of Education decision-making, also approved a Success Academy charter for Bedford-Stuyvesant, as well as a third charter school from another network for that neighborhood.
According to The Times, busloads of opponents were brought in by the teachers' union, including many parents and educators from the schools in the Baltic Street location, who argued that children in those existing schools will be squeezed by the addition of the charter:
Jeff Tripp, a math and special education teacher at International Studies, disputed the department's analysis, saying the building's gym was so overused that high school students had a hard time meeting graduation requirements in physical education. Lunch in its sole cafeteria starts at 10:30 a.m., he said.
"Our students spend hours in the building and for many of them it's home," Mr. Tripp said. "What you're proposing is a home invasion."
Supporters of the charter schools said middle-class parents needed choices, too. But The Daily News reports:
About 100 people signed up to speak at the Wednesday night meeting at Newtown High School in Elmhurst, but most of the audience walked out in protest after about two hours of public comment.
"Shame on you!" shouted the protesters, many of whom oppose charter schools because they believe the facilities contribute to inequality in the city's schools.
The Success Academy Cobble Hill will open in August for children in kindergarten and first grades, and over the years will expand through eighth grade.
Were you at the meeting? What were your impressions? Share by responding to the query below.
In other news, Jenny Anderson reports in The Times that Jane Foley Fried, the dean of admission and assistant head for enrollment, research and planning at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., will become the Brearley School's 15th head of school. Brearley, an all-girl private school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, searched for six months and considered 100 candidates before making the choice.
And remember Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's assertion that 82 percent of the nation's public schools would fail this year under No Child Left Behind standards? And President Obama's repeat of the assertion to win support for changes to the federal standards? Turns out the figure was way off.
A new study by the Center on Education Policy, "a Washington research group headed by a Democratic lawyer who endorses most of the administration's education policies, says that 48 percent of the nation's 100,000 public schools were labeled as failing under the law this year," Sam Dillon reports in The Times.
Asked why the Education Department's projection was so far off, Justin Hamilton, a spokesman for Mr. Duncan, said, "Our intention was to look thoughtfully at the data and show how the law would impact schools and students if left unchanged."
The high figure was the Obama administration's ultimate argument in favor of issuing waivers that allow schools more time and leeway in achieving greater proficiency in math and reading in students. According to The Times: "Eleven states have applied for the waivers. An additional 28 states have said they intend to apply; applications for a second round in the waiver process are due in February."
Also in The Times, Jenny Medina reports from California that officials there have found a way to help middle-class families who are feeling the squeeze of rising college tuition costs.
The University of California, Berkeley, announced Wednesday that it would offer far more financial aid to middle-class students starting next fall, with families earning up to $140,000 a year expected to contribute no more than 15 percent of their annual income, in what experts described as the most significant such move by a public institution.
The article continues:
At Berkeley, officials said, the number of low-income and wealthy students has grown over the last several years, while the number from middle-class families has remained flat. That has raised concerns that some of the state's best and brightest are choosing private schools whose generous financial aid can erase differentials in sticker price or not enrolling at all. The cost of a year at Berkeley has risen sharply to $32,000.
WNET's new local news and culture online magazine, MetroFocus, has an article about art organizations getting into the business of education across the city: "Surprising Schoolyard Pals: NYC Arts Orgs Trend Toward Education." Lots of interesting examples.
Gotham Schools' Rise and Shine post has a more complete roundup of what's in the news about education on Thursday morning.
Here is some of what is going on in education in the city on Thursday:
From 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., children from the Urban Assembly Academy of Arts and Letters in Fort Greene. Brooklyn, "will transform themselves into young engineers, showcasing their new expertise in Robotics through a Sumo Robot match."
"These students," the academy's announcement continued, "have been mentored by Google employees over the past year and this event is the culmination of that mentorship. The project was part of the Citizen Schools Expanded Learning Time initiative that serves over 800 students in six public middle schools across three boroughs," a news release says.
And from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the New York City Parents Union will hold a meeting to discuss "changing N.Y.S. Education Law and the N.Y.C. School Governance Law (Mayoral Control) to give parents and communities real power to participate in decisions regarding school closings, truncations and co-locations proposed by the N.Y.C. Department of Education." The meeting will be at Brooklyn Borough Hall, 209 Joralemon Street. You must R.S.V.P. by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (917) 340-8987.

Our patient base is very conducive to broad exposures in both basic and complex allergy and immunology diseases. Our fellows are prepared to care for severe asthma, atopic and contact dermatitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, venom allergy, anaphylaxis, occupational lung disease, and latex allergy. In addition, they also have excellent experience with common variable immunodeficiency, food allergy, drug allergy, urticaria, and angioedema. By working closely with Rheumatology, our fellows care for patients with common and rare autoimmune conditions as well. This assures that they have exceptional training in a variable range of allergic and immunologic disorders.
Our program guides training so graduates will be very familiar with the principles and practice of diagnostic allergy testing and therapies. In addition, they gain the knowledge needed to prescribe and prepare allergen extracts for immunotherapy. Our fellows are well-trained when they leave and our board pass rate for the fellows has been 100 percent for the past five years.
During the two years with our department, fellows spend a variable amount of time in pediatric and adult clinics as they broaden their knowledge base. They also have the opportunity to service our expanding outpatient infusion clinic as well as our inpatient consultative service that covers the entire hospital. Inpatient consults generally consist of drug allergy and desensitization, hereditary angioedema, eosinophilia, asthma, food allergy, and other rare disorders.
Fellows are currently on call from home on a month-long basis with flexibility for weekend coverage. There is a faculty member also on call 24 hours a day who is there for support and will see all inpatient consults with the fellow.
Evaluations are performed on a bi-annual basis.

"I ordered these thank you cards for my daughters first bday party. It was a pink/ gold theme and these cards matched perfectly! It was very pretty and cute! I would re order them if I needed to."
"These thank you's were perfectly sweet. Small and dainty with pretty colors. I wish we had the option to print real metallic gold dots although they are still cute!"
"The delivery was a week sooner than orginally anticipated And with free shipping that was amazing. I loved these cards I used them for my baby shower invites and any one who has got a thank you so far has loved them"
"I love how pretty and classy these notes and labels are. The print on the invitation and label is a bit small but easily remedied with increase in font size."
"I ordered this stationary for myself as a thank you I love the colors and the sweetness of the design. The card quality is lovely."

XP1 model designation has nothing to do with either Micro, or Soft. It stands for Xtreme Performance, simple as that. Sonim XP1 is officially proof against a stream of water, near 1.7-meter-high drop to concrete, and has an operational range from -20C to 60C. We've seen it tossed and kicked around, run over by cars, treaded on by elephants, dropped in a cement mixer. Meet the survivor form factor.
The Sonim XP1 (also known as JCB Toughphone in some markets and the Chuck Norris phone in our office) was created for the most challenging of environments and activities. Hardened rubber is molded to the durable non-porous casing, keypad buttons are tested to 500,000 pushes, the screen has a scratch-resistant coating. Finally, the USB port, ear jack and external antenna port are sealed with pl.astic caps so moist and dirt are kept away from those vulnerable points...........
Technically, Sonim XP1 is not alone in its class, but the competition is barely up to par when it comes to the most important point: durability. The XP1 redefines ruggedized and scoffs in the face of Sony Ericsson C702, Nokia 5500 Sport and Samsung M110. That's well reflected in the price too: the XP1 is the most expensive of the lot. Don't bother guessing the cost of GPS, built-in camera, MP3 player, quad-band GSM and 3.5G. Indestructible costs and you'll just have to have Sonim's word on that

Hi All, Apologies for the potentially dumb question but I need a quick answer to a client question and my usual go to web gurus on here will be asleep in the states. A client asked us today – "If we bought a fully responsive theme on TF, we know how works on a laptop, tablet and mobile BUT if we then add it as a Facebook Fan page – will it "respond" and work there too?" My gut instinct is to say yes but I had a sudden concern I was missing something to do with the Iframe element. Anyone know if it would work or if it would need further modification? Thank you!
It should. But consider that your client will need https available in order to run the site on Fb Apps.
EDIT : After reading below comment, of course the CSS needs a responsible parameter setup on 810px width.
I don't think it will "respond" to different screen sizes as the css is controlled externally. I would suggest downloading something quick and easy like Twitter Bootstrap which is already responsive and throw the facebook plugin and there and test it to be certain.
Hope that helps.
Thank you both so much for the quick replies – its a wierd question that should be really simple to answer but makes you think. I am prob going to take one of the TF responsive themes I have bought before and upload it to our test FB page and see what happens. I do not think the CSS should be an issue as the site itself is hosted on our server and we just tag the URL to the page in Facebook but as you said the only way really to know is to test it. I will do it later today and post a reply here is anyone is curious.
Thank you again for the quick replies
Just to follow up. The answer is yes the responsive sites do resize themselves to fit. HOWEVER some do look a little strange – the 810px design almost moves menus to mobile/tablet form etc. So while this could be a cool way of maintaining branding and design across the different locations and platforms it appears that it does depend on the site or theme in question and there remains definite merit for designing the same look into a standard 810px page. Thanks for the opinions.

Fast-food strike doesn't reach El Paso
No signs of local strikes
EL PASO, Texas - Across the country, fast-food workers are going on strike looking for a raise in minimum wage.
Fast-food protests are underway in cities including New York, Chicago and Detroit, with organizers expecting the biggest national walkouts yet in a demand for higher wages.
Similar protests organized by unions and community groups over the past several months have brought considerable media attention to a staple of the fast-food industry - the so-called "McJobs" that are known for their low pay and limited prospects. But it's not clear what impact, if any, they will have on business.
In El Paso, there are no strikes, picket signs or angry mobs. In fact, if you ask fast-food employees in west El Paso, they'll tell you they'd be more than happy to make $15 an hour, but there are no plans to strike.
"My mom, she barely makes $15 an hour after two raises and she has more experience then someone at McDonald's," said one teen, who declined to give her name. She said as a minimum-wage employee she'd welcome a raise, but questioned how it'd affect someone who makes a similar wage already.
Nearby a construction worker at a west El Paso Walgreen's said it'd been years since he'd worked minimum wage, but cautioned those looking for a wage.
"Do the math between $10 and $15 and you don't make any more," he said. "You pay more in tax and it knocks you off welfare."
While locally the movement hasn't begun, a national movement comes amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to hike the federal minimum wage. But most proposals seek a far more modest increase than the one workers are asking for, with President Barack Obama wanting to boost it to $9 an hour.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez compared the protests to the demands of demonstrators in the 1963 March on Washington, who sought a national minimum wage to give workers better living standards.
"For all too many people working minimum wage jobs, the rungs on the ladder of opportunity are feeling further and further apart," said Perez, who's taking a lead role in Obama's push for a higher minimum wage.
The Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million works in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing financial support and training for local organizers in the fast-food strikes around the country.

Last night I realized there is a reason "set and keep a budget" is number one on my to-do list and why I've been avoiding it for so long.
Jenny Blake, of Life After College, has a Four-Step Budget Template in ExCel that I sort-of took advantage of last year. I say "sort-of" because I think I filled it out then never looked at it again because I am Veruca Salt.
There it is: I am Veruca Salt.
You see, Veruca and I are both entitled children, although our entitlement comes from different places. Her (heaven help me, I am seriously writing about a fictional character) entitlement comes from never having heard the word no; mine comes from never saying the word no.
In the Four-Step Budget Template the first step is to fill in your income. This is what lulls me into a false sense of security. I work in an office during the week, at a chapel during the weekend and I get a semester stipend for the volunteer work that I do with our event planning board. Now, throw in sixteen credit hours, "free time" (work outs, hang outs) and don't forget sleep! And you'll see why I feel entitled to a new MZ, extra guac and the occasional four hour flight away from deadlines and the like. Because when I say "yes" to one thing, it's always a secret promise to myself to say yes to something else just for me—which isn't bad, technically, it's just not always reasonable.
The second step in the budget template consists of the "must have expenses," like: I must pay my rent and utilities if I'd like to keep up with the "I am human" illusion—also, my cell phone bill so I can either constantly ignore my friends' text messages or constantly lament the fact that they never text me (Step #1 in being Veruca Salt, ie THE WORST: always feel burdened).
In step number two therein lies the rub. For in sleep what dreams may come and in must-have expenses all those dolla bills from step one must go.
Step three is where the "nice-to-have" expenses come in, like yoga classes twice a week, that previously mentioned MZ, or even enough money left over for a concert and a book—which I want: all of the above, no exceptions please.
Step four is the allowance, which is what's left over when all the expenses are taken out of your income.
If I cut one job (which I'm really thinking about doing: life's too short! Carpe diem! I'm over it! Et cetera, et cetera!), that reduces my allowance down to twenty dollars a month. TWENTY BUCKS.
That's also considering the fact that ten percent of my paycheck is put away in savings as a "must-have" expense. I got my first job at sixteen and ever since I've been practicing the ten percent saving strategy, which used to be chump change but is pretty hearty now. Also, I've counted my September festival trip into a second savings tab in "must-have" expenses, because I want to make sure I can afford it. I'd honestly rather cut some "nice-to-have" expenses (like eating out or booze) for a couple of weeks/months for a few days of exactly what I want a few months from now.
Which, I guess is how I would instruct the other Veruca Salts of the world in growing up, because that's what this. I am getting dangerously close to technically being an adult.
First step: learn patience.
We know you want the world, girl (or boy—Veruco, anyone?) and that you "want it now" but it's 2011—everyone wants that! Where there's smoke there's fire and where there's demand, there are inflated prices. Also, feline aids.
Second step: Learn that when you say no (to waiting, work, anything), it means you have to temporarily say no to something else that you want. Like I said, everybody wants everything, meaning you will have to wait for something.
Final step: be original. Veruca is an original; you can tell that by her killer imagination. If it weren't for her indulgent father, she might have been able to just let that blossom without always needing to have some concrete representation of everything that ever popped into her head (side note: I would pay all twenty of my "allowance" dollars to see a Jumanji remake starring her and her father because you know she'd beg him for a real-life version of the game instead of the plain-ol' regular game).
Everyone wants everything, so you know what's cool? Not wanting everything. At the very least, look at what you want and figure out whether it comes from a desire within or outside of yourself.
Rest assured, your life (and heart) will go on without those shoes/that game/that phone/that accessory.
When in doubt, don't over-think it, do not be a vermicious kinid and Augustus, please! Save some room for later!

On October 22, 1820 a small group of residents of the riverfront village of Greenwich gathered at the home of Catherine Ritter to organize an Episcopal church for their growing community. They named the church after St. Luke, the physician evangelist, in recognition of the village's role as a refuge from the yellow fever epidemics that plagued New York City during the summers.
One of the founding wardens was Clement Clarke Moore, a gentleman scholar of biblical Hebrew and Greek. He also penned, "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The first Church of Saint Luke in the Fields Eucharist was celebrated in a prison watch house on the corner of Christopher and Hudson Street on Christmas of that year.
Historical church exterior
In 1821 the cornerstone of the church was laid on a site on Hudson Street donated by Trinity Church. The new church was consecrated on Ascension Day, May 16, 1822. In 1845, St. Luke's became a leading proponent of Anglo-Catholic worship in the United States, offering daily services of the Divine Office, as well as weekly Sunday Eucharists. One of the first professions of monastic vows in the Anglican Communion since the Reformation occurred at St. Luke's in 1847.
In 1891, St. Luke's became a chapel of Trinity Church. In the following years, the block was expanded to serve the increasing number of neighborhood ministries, including extensive outreach to neighborhood children. In 1927, a new gymnasium was added to the block. In 1956, deteriorating houses surrounding the chapel were razed, and a school building, playground and garden were constructed.
Church fire damage
In 1976, Trinity Parish decided to divest itself of all but one of its chapels, and St. Luke's once again became an independent parish of the Episcopal Church. In 1979, St. Luke's was among the first churches in the Anglican Communion to appoint a woman as an assistant priest. On March 6, 1981 a fire destroyed much of the church, the second such fire since the church's founding. In 1985, after four years of fundraising and rebuilding, St. Luke's was reconsecrated.
Since the 1980s, St. Luke's has been deeply affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The AIDS Project of St. Luke's has served Saturday dinner and weekend teas to over 35,000 persons with AIDS since its founding in 1987. During the last decade, St. Luke's has opened its doors to the Greenwich Village community with a festive Gay Pride evensong celebration, and in recent years it has participated with a sizeable parish contingent in the annual New York City lesbian and gay pride parade.
Church interior, present day
In 1994, the Rev. Dr. Roger A. Ferlo became rector of the church. St. Luke's saw a great expansion in membership and in its ministries. With attention to St. Luke's School, St. Luke's also established the Go St. Luke's tutoring program for children in public and parochial schools.
In 2001, St. Luke's began an outreach program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and allied youth from the streets. The program has grown tremendously and now welcomes approximately 80 young people on Saturday evenings, an average of 30% whom are homeless.
Our current rector, the Rev. Caroline Stacey, joined us in May 2005 and has overseen the expansion and professionalization of Outreach ministries by growing our children's, youth and young adult ministries within the parish as well as expanding our offerings for support and strengthening of parenting and family ministries.

A five-time winner of the elite event, the American fired down six aces and broke her opponent four times on the way to a one-sided victory in her first appearance since the Australian Open in January.
"I'm always a little nervous in the first round, and I kind of chill out after that," 10th seed and former world number one Williams said. "It's always the same. It's always been the same.
"Last time I played I played horrible, and I was thinking as long as I don't hit a ball into the stands I'll be good. I didn't do that today, so it worked out well."
Williams, who won the title in Miami in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008, had not played in the event since 2009 because of injury and illness.
The 13-time Grand Slam singles champion will next face Italy's
"With these weather conditions it's tough serving," Clijsters said. "I don't think there's anybody who plays a whole tournament with perfect tennis, so you have to try and battle through, find the solutions when you're not playing your best.
"Mentally, that's one of the biggest focuses I have when I step out on the court here in Miami, where it can get very windy."
Clijsters is playing in her first tournament since she lost to eventual champion Victoria Azarenka in the Australian Open semi-finals when she injured her ankle.
Fourth seed
In other matches on Thursday, second-seeded Russian
The Serbian world number 15 was whitewashed in the opening set on her way to a 6-0 6-3 thrashing at the hands of the world number 36.
Jankovic offered her opponent just four break points during the 61-minute encounter, but Barthel was ruthless as she took every one of those chances - and equally nerveless in defending all four break points Jankovic earned in reply.
Barthel's compatriot

College Street
» An unseasonably wet summer gave way to exquisite autumn weather during the first weeks of the 2009-10 academic year. And while summer would not officially end until the autumnal equinox on September 22, nobody was complaining about the early shift to crisp temperatures and cloudless skies. The College's Convocation occurred on just such a day, as sharp blue skies accompanied robed faculty and administrators in welcoming more than 600 first-year students to Middlebury. In his Convocation address, President Liebowitz advised ambitious students to study deeply and broadly, while resisting the myth that more is better. "Not trying to do it all is sometimes a good thing," he said.
» The provocatively titled talk "Conservation Cowboys in Africa and Latin America: Can the Private Sector Be Trusted to Protect Nature?" kicked off the yearlong Middlebury/Monterey lecture series. Delivering the inaugural address was Jeffrey Langholz, a leading conservation expert and an associate professor of international environmental policy at the Monterey Institute for International Studies.
» Speaking of MIIS, the Institute was home to a congressional town hall discussion about the national healthcare system during Congress's August recess. The host was Congressman Sam Farr, a MIIS alumnus. Unlike other town hall meetings across the country, this one was a cordial and civil affair.
» The Classical Theater of Harlem brought its production of Waiting for Godot to Middlebury for two nights of soul-searching and thought-provoking theater. In this production, Samuel Beckett's seminal work was transported to New Orleans in the days after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.
» Charles Darwin was the focus of the 2009 Nicholas R. Clifford Symposium. "Celebrating Darwin's Legacy," featured lectures, panel discussions, artistic performances, workshops, and a series of addresses that were designed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species.
» The Emerson String Quartet returned to Middlebury and conducted a free performance before a capacity crowd in Mead Chapel. The visit was the quartet's 31st to the College, and they did not disappoint the welcoming audience, performing works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and New England's Charles Ives.
» Nature magazine was the latest national publication to give Middlebury kudos for its "green"-ness, citing the College's new biomass gasification plant as a notable environmental initiative.

WHEN the property next to his surgery was listed for sale, Toorak plastic surgeon Chris Moss was concerned that if the two-storey apartments were redeveloped to include a third storey, the privacy of high-profile celebrity clients would be invaded.
So Dr Moss and his skincare specialist wife Andrea John decided to bid for the Toorak Road property at auction. Now they are in the County Court. The couple claim RT Edgar Toorak director Greg Herman artificially inflated the price of the apartments by about $600,000 by claiming another bidder had made a higher bid.
Opening the civil trial, Peter Bick, QC, for Dr Moss and Ms John, said Mr Herman was the twin brother of Kendra Abay, a family member of the vendors.
Mr Bick said Dr Moss's $2.1 million bid was rejected and the property was passed in. He said Mr Herman told Dr Moss's representatives that a second bidder, Tom, was a property developer and had offered $2.6 million. At the same time, Tom was told that Dr Moss had bid $2.35 million. The property was advertised at ''$2 million plus''. Dr Moss signed a sale contract for $2.7 million.
Mr Bick said Ms John was sceptical and later flagged down the other bidder as he drove off and began questioning him. It eventuated, Mr Bick said, that the other bidder was not a property developer, but Tom Kartel, the owner of a restaurant franchise. Mr Kartel told Ms John he had pulled out of the bidding at $2.2 million and told Mr Herman to ''let them have it''.
The court was told that Ms John, Dr Moss and Mr Kartel confronted Mr Herman outside the property as he was putting the sold sticker on the display sign. Dr Moss told Mr Herman that all his claims about Tom (described by Mr Herman as Tom, in a pink shirt, driving a Mercedes) had been false. Ms John called Mr Herman a ''liar''.
A recording of the confrontation made by Dr Moss was played to the court, in which Mr Herman is heard to tell Dr Moss that ''it was your stupidity'' to sign the contract as the doctor demanded they be torn up and assuring Mr Herman that he would cancel the cheques.
It would also be alleged, Mr Bick said, that Mr Herman had breached obligations in conducting an auction, in that he had put an offer to Mr Kartel while a bidding representative of Dr Moss and Ms John was involved in supposedly exclusive negotiations when the property was passed in.
Judge Tim Ginnane heard Dr Moss was concerned that a third storey to the apartment block would affect the integrity of his surgery's discreet entry. Several of Dr Moss's patients were in the ''entertainment, fashion and sports industries'', said Mr Bick, and their ability to access the clinic via a private entrance was ''of utmost importance''.
''Lots of patients leave without their surgery scars being dressed because of healing,'' Mr Bick said. ''It presents a problem for all of the patients.''
The defendants - RT Edgar Toorak, Mr Herman, vendor Michael Abay, Kendra Abay and another Abay relative, Kimberley Fleetwood - are yet to put their case. Dr Moss and Ms John are seeking $600,000 plus legal costs.

wall clock - surface corrosion
hi, l wonder if I could savage this clock? http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t.../DIY/clock.jpg
This clock has been with us for more than 10 years. As it is a gift from a good friend, I would like to keep it for as long as it works. but the surface corrosion is spreading ...
Touch a magnet to that 'brass'--
It looks like a very thin plate over steel----
Mike is right, looks like plated steel, which would be logical in a product like that.
As a result, removing the corrosion is going to remove the plating as well, or what's left of it in those areas. There is one option, and that is for you to disassemble the clock, strip the corrosion off the parts in question, then send them to a plating outfit for replating. I have taken some small pieces to metal plating shops in my area (usually found in industrial parks) and they are always happy to do them for a nominal fee. It's worth a call to them to find out what it will cost if the clock has significant sentimental value to you.
Motor cycle shops always know good plating shops--
I have had good luck-- check there for the name of a place that will do small projects.
hi, I hv just used a magnet to try - the magnet didn't stay. It is quite light material. can it be steel ? steel is heavy usually, isn't it?
About the corrosion - it is just "spreading", not "peeling off". i.e. it doesn't look like "plating" to me. when I used my finger to rub against the surface, there wasn't anything being rubbed off, the surface was as smooth as ever. I could feel slight grease on my finger though.
thanks for sharing...
Even if it is brass---getting it plated is still a good option---you could try polishing the metal--as thin as that is,be careful not to crush it--

iTunes link: Hipstamatic
Price: £1.19
The iPhone's less than fantastic native camera application has lead to a whole load of excellent third party camera apps appearing in the App store. However, most of these try to replicate the look and feel of the native app, while adding in some more advanced features.
This certainly isn't the approach taken by Hipstamatic. Instead its interface is designed to mimic that of a cheap retro camera and enables you to select from a range of lens, flash types and films to add different effects to the pictures that you capture. The results are certainly quirky, but also look incredibly cool. What's more, you can also buy additional Hipstapaks via in-app purchasing to add extra effects.
Verdict: Obviously lovingly crafted, Hipostamatic not only looks brilliant and is very easy to use, but also produces very impressive results.
Fluid FX isn't free, it's 59p today.
I'm sure you've covered Tunein Radio before. I downloaded it after it appeared in a previous article on this site.
Not sure if you've covered it and it's not new but I couldn't do without Instapaper on my iPod Touch. I no longer keep 30 tabs open while browsing, just quickly bookmark the page and it's ready waiting for me to read whenever I want.
cant find "HotDealsApp" at the appstore? is it called anything else?
That will be "HotAppDeals"
Supersizeme it's listed under "HotAppDeals".

Waipio Valley, Big Island
Waipio Valley on the Hamakua Coast is a beautiful valley surrounded by steep cliffs and waterfalls and fronted by a mile long black sand beach. The area has a rich history and is a sacred place for Hawaiians. Many Big Island kings lived in the valley and are buried in secret locations along the sides of the cliffs. Hiilawe Falls, the Big Island's tallest waterfall, cascades down 1,300 feet in the back of Waipio. Today the valley is sparsely populated. The road into the valley is too steep to drive, most will get a ride on a wagon or horse..

BMW Performance black kidney grille
Does anyone with this add-on would be willing to share pics!? Aside from gloss black grilles, are the rings around the grilles also gloss black?! Many thanks in advance!!

Yep all black - have them on my space gray msport also, so need for another pic of the same. Still don't understand why the m-sport comes with all the trim gloss black and then a chrome and gray grill - looks stupid in my book and way way better with the black grills!
Pulled this shot from another posting here(user: arvid) and really like how he has the black grill with the chrome trim. Having carbon black coming and thinking that the chrome accent will be the right fit for us.
are the grills 130ea or 130 for the pair?
That is a great deal!
BMW Performance black kidney grille
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
I'm not sure where they can be purchased. Just noticed them on a previous post here... http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showth...=522823&page=9
Lookin' pretty sweet, though. If you find them let us know. I just assumed I could get them from BMW but have not yet inquired.
The first post in this thread has the link to the page to purchase these through BMW
Right your are! Thought they were all black. Anyone have a price for these in Canada? For some reason BMW Canada likes to make everything difficult, including finding the prices of accessories. I guess I'll just email our dealer; I think they don't want to list prices because of the variance in prices when comparing the same products and accessories to BMWUSA!
Found some on eBay cheaper
Can anybody comment on removal and installation. Is it snapping rivets out, do they break easily about how long would it take?
1) With hood open, take the wind seal off at the very front that the hood closes on. You will see a bunch of screws holding the top of the bumper on where the grills are at. Remove them.
2) You now will have enough room to slide your hand in to get to the top and sides of the kidney grill to disengage the clips with your hand (use the ones you bought as the reference locator). The plastic bumper has some give so you can get your arm in, but don't push the issue or the paint may crack if overextended.
3) I had some needle nose pliers that had the end bent into a "L" to reach the bottom ones to disengage those.
4) Once you have one grill out, the other is a cinch since you have easier access.
5) With both grills out, pop the new ones in. Punch them in place pretty firmly so all of the clips properly engage.
6) Put the screws back in that hold the bumper. Note: Pay attention to the indentations left where the screws sat as if you dont tighten them down in the same place, it can make the hood end and bumper end not look liked up when the hood is closed.
7) Replace weather stripping. Close hood and admire the new sexyness.
8) Have a beer.
Took me about 30 minutes total.
They are $226 for the pair plus taxes here in Vancouver. Our parts department said they would install "free" because we purchased our X3 at the dealership, however no discount given. BMW US sells it $130.00 for the pair, but without install. My take is order from the states if install myself, or pay $226 and have dealer install them. Haven't decided yet.....
Hey ysalee,
My dealer said that they are $76 a side. Someone is messing something up. I know we pay more for accessories up here in Canada but I think that the dealer is incorrect at $226/pair. Perhaps they are quoting for a different vehicle. I'm going to try to get some clarification this weekend.

We had the black (all black) grills installed prior to delivery and love them. We opted for the standard ones with the white, but I wanted the black on black. I think it was about $120 total (in the deal) to get them.

Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
I read somewhere - I cant recall if it was here in this forum or another one - but I recall someone saying that the style of kidney grills were engine dependent, which would explain why the parts guy had trouble. That might be worth a try. The parts catalog has different part numbers too:
Titanium (stock) x35i: 51117237421 and 51117237422
Black/Black: 51712297589 and 51712297590
Stock on a x28i: 51117210725 and 51117210726
They were $86 Canadian per side. No charge install, of course.

I was finally able to install mine. Love the new look! It was seriously a pain in the ass to install! Also didn't help that I didn't have the proper tools. A 90degree tool would have taken 10mins for this whole job. Glad and surprised I didn't break any tabs while doing this!

I got them installed on my AW X3. They look great with all the M-Sport package finishes which are black, it really completes the car.

text: New to the forum but been around HK Pro for a while. HK USPc .40 at the small of my back, HK USPc. 45 SS at the bedside. Spyderco Endura4 G-10 in the back pocket. Seen some hideous injuries and deaths and don't intend to ever become one of them or allow it to happen to those I'm near. Newly commissioned in the Marine Corps and working on the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program but also looking for other edged weapons courses of study. Any pointers? Also wondering as to other edged weapons I should consider aside from the usual suspects of Spydeco, Benchmade, Emerson, SOG and Kershaw. Wondering if serrated or plain blade makes a difference for self-defense and an automatic or a folder or a fixed blade is better for defensive carry. Opinions are less valuable than facts.
