Humans have always emulated birds, as evidenced by our affinity for hang-gliding and stuffing our children with gummi worms. Take flight with this Groupon.
$169 for an Introductory Tandem-Hang-Gliding Lesson ($289 Value)
After a brief flight-school session, passengers pair up with a USHPA-certified instructor for their tandem flight. A small aircraft tows the hang glider on its ascent, before releasing it for a 2,500-foot free flight. Passengers can help steer the glider, or concentrate on using their own camera to record the 20- to 25-minute flight.
Hang Glide Chicago
From May until winter, the USHPA-certified instructors of Hang Glide Chicago spend their weekends accompanying passengers on tandem hang-gliding flights. Flight school sessions acclimate beginners to the sport before they board gliders, which are then towed into the air by a small plane. As flyers are released for their 2,500-foot free flight, they can steer their glider or let instructors guide the way as they take in the surrounding vistas. Students are welcome to bring their own cameras (wrist straps are recommended) or arrange to have their flight recorded by Hang Glide's HD-panoramic video equipment or their instructor's photographic memory. Flights take place from sunrise to sunset, and patrons can extend their experience by taking advantage of facilities that include camping grounds, bathrooms with showers, and a lake for kayaking or catch-and-release fishing.

East London - Pakistan bowling coach Mohammad Akram says the tourists are taking their warm-up game "very seriously" against a South African Invitation XI starting in East London on Friday.
The Pakistanis, who arrived in the country on Sunday, fresh off a 2-1 ODI series win against India, had two hard training sessions at Buffalo Park under head coach Dav Whatmore in preparation for their four-day warm-up match.
"We are taking this game very seriously," Akram said on Wednesday.
"Our team is a good mix of youth and senior players. We'll be focusing hard for the Tests against the No 1 team in the world, South Africa, and playing good, hard cricket."
Pakistan's tour includes three Tests, two T20 matches and five ODIs, as well as a limited-overs game against another SA Invitation team in Kimberley.
Perhaps the player with most to prove on the trip is talented top-order batsman Nasir Jamshed, who is yet to play in a Test match but has made a name for himself in shorter formats. He recently scored back-to-back ODI centuries against India, but this is his first venture away from familiar sub-continent conditions.
On form and consistency, Jamshed is Pakistan's outstanding batsman and as such, there will be plenty of pressure on him to succeed in South Africa.
"Pakistan has always had a policy of taking four or five young players to develop on tour," Akram said.
"We are expecting great things from Jamshed. For some years there has been no international cricket in Pakistan, and this is the opportunity for our youngsters to get some exposure."
A newcomer to South Africa is lanky left-arm pace bowler Mohammad Irfan, who at 2.1 metres towers well above the rest of his team-mates.
"Irfan is like (Morne) Morkel in that he should get steep bounce from your wickets," Akram said.

We're working hard on MindMeld, and this video shows some of our latest feature updates.
Expect Labs is a startup based in San Francisco that is building a technology platform designed to reinvent how we have conversations. Expect Labs is the creator of the iPad app called MindMeld, which is the first intelligent conversation assistant that can actually understand conversations in real-time to make it easy to find and share related information as you talk.
Hi, welcome to MindMeld. This video gives you a quick tour about how MindMeld can make it easy for you to find and share related information as you talk with your friends. To get started, log in with your Facebook account. You can then join your friends in a conversation already underway or start a new one by tapping "New MindMeld."
Just add a short title, decide who should be allowed to join the conversation and invite a few friends. Now your friends can join you in the video call. If any one of them says something interesting, tap the light bulb. MindMeld will attempt to understand what they just said and find related information.
To see what MindMeld found just swipe to the right. On the left, MindMeld lists what it heard everyone say, as well as other concepts that might be related to your conversation. MindMeld also shows you related pictures, videos and articles from Facebook or across the web that change as the conversation changes.
Because all this information is at your fingertips sharing is effortless. Just tap, hold and drag anything unto the sharing panel. Everyone in your conversation can see it instantly. MindMeld intuitively organizes the stuff that everyone shares, so you can easily find it later. If you are looking for something in particular tap on any concept to see more results.
Double tap to change, or drag to delete.
To add a new term, pull down. Tap an article to view it in more detail. And remember, as you browse in MindMeld you can share anything you see with the tap of a button. So, that's MindMeld in a nutshell. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.

In the June 9 edition of SiteTalk, we referenced a survey that found Fifth Avenue in Manhattan to be the most expensive place in the world to operate a store -- and asked you if it was worth the expense. Here is what one reader had to say.
"It's no secret that I love my hometown, and that my work here has been very good to me. But I am truly being objective when I say that yes, of course it's worth it! New York is the financial and de facto capital of the world, and Fifth Avenue is its historical retail core. To locate here is to indicate that you've arrived among the great international retailers in the world -- after all, your neighbors include Saks Fifth Avenue, Giorgio Armani, Tiffany, Cartier, and Bergdorf Goodman. Is a Fifth Avenue store expensive? Yes. Does it show that you're successful enough to afford it? Yes. Is the cachet a Fifth Avenue address conveys profitable? Yes, yes yes."

Sometimes a really cool emerging marketing tool isn't a technology at all. It's just a great idea about how to use technology in a new (and incredibly easy-to-use) way. HARO is one of the coolest marketing tools around and it's no further away than your inbox.
Oh, and did I mention that it's free?
"HARO" stands for "Help a Reporter Out." The brainchild of "CEO, entrepreneur, adventurist" Peter Shankman exists for one mission: to link reporters to sources and sources to reporters.
HARO started out the way lots of great ideas get started: to make life easier for the inventor. Shankman describes himself as "a spectacular example of what happens when you harness the power of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and make it work to your advantage."
From the looks of his accomplishments, he's not too far off the mark. He's an astounding networker, tireless blogger, busy PR pro, and seemingly never sleeps.
Through his work, he's gotten to know lots of reporters and lots of reporters have gotten to know him. Always ready to help them out, Shankman started getting swamped with requests for sources from his journalist friends. Also always ready to take advantage of technology, Shankman deflected those requests to a Facebook group he created to link reporters and sources together.
Unfortunately, Facebook caps group e-mails around 1,200 people, forcing Shankman to move his service off Facebook and onto the Web. Good move. The "little list" Shankman started now includes 25,000 reporters (including regular inquiries from "The Wall Street Journal" and "The New York Times") and 80,000 subscribers.
The concept is amazingly simple. "Sources" (a business, agency, expert, etc.) simply fill out a four-line form here to receive daily digests (usually two to three) of story queries. Journalists need to fill out a slightly longer form with information about who they are, what publication they write for, what kind of person is needed, etc. After submitting, the inquiry is added to the list the next time it's published.
If you think this sounds a little like a service called ProfNet, that's because it accomplishes pretty much the same thing (connecting reporters with sources), but in a much more streamlined, open, and (more importantly!) free way. Actually, Shankman had a bit of a run in with ProfNet early on. "Profnet threatened to sue me because I was copying what they were doing — Reporters were sending me the same queries they were sending Profnet, and we were BOTH posting them," Shankman said in a follow up e-mail.
Even though Shankman contends that ProfNet had no legal basis its threat, he still switched gears. He decided he could do better if he used a social-media model that's a lot more open. And he has: ad sales on the list now top $1 million annually and the service is growing like crazy.
The most interesting thing about HARO isn't that it's an incredible way to connect with reporters about your (or your clients') business — though that's pretty cool. What's really amazing is HARO represents an incredible example of the strategic use of social media in a business context. If social media is really just technology that facilitates conversations, then HARO is one incredible conversation starter!
If you look at the characteristics of HARO, you'll see a model for using social media that can be extended to just about all businesses:
- Have a clear and common purpose. HARO connects reporters to sources. That's it.
- Provide value. HARO is successful because it provides a valuable service to all subscribers. Reporters get sources they need. Businesses get exposure. Everyone's happy.
- Be friendly. HARO is published as a digest a few times a day. It's incredibly well-indexed and uses in-line links so users can jump between reading the inquiry headline index and the actual index themselves. HARO doesn't spam, doesn't load a bunch of annoying ads, and always comes sporting a subject line that makes it easy to auto-filter.
- Keep it simple. Signing up for HARO takes about 20 seconds. Scanning the inquiry headlines in the e-mails you receive doesn't take much longer. In addition, HARO doesn't try to be a "community" for reporters and PR folks; doesn't include video, audio, or pictures; and requires nothing more than a simple e-mail client that could run on everything from a cellphone to a netbook to your computer.
- Be open. HARO doesn't make you jump through hoops to join or post a query.
- Make connections. HARO is social media distilled to its simplest form: connecting people who need each other together and facilitating their conversation through introduction.
If you're thinking about social media as an emerging marketing tool, it's important that you take a look at HARO. It uses technology that's been around literally for decades but uses it in a way that reflects the purest essence of the value of social media. Like services such as Craigslist, it's a game-changer that changes the game by staying true to its roots, staying focused, and providing something that people need cheaper, faster, and better than its predecessors.

Finding Inspiration at a Cat Writers Conference
Apparently, November is National Inspirational Role Models Month†. Who knew? But that theme fits right in with my recent attendance at the annual Cat Writers' Association conference. The conference was three days of meeting and interacting with some of the people who have most inspired me as a writer and blogger.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Cat Writers' Association, it is a journalistic organization founded to encourage professionalism among cat writers, photographers, artists, and broadcasters. Affectionately known as the CWA, the organization boasts as its members many of the authors and writers who publish material in cat magazines, on blogs, in newsletters and newspapers, on radio, and even on television. Naturally, quite a few members have published books as well, many of them the same books you might have seen on the shelf in your local bookstore or in your local pet store.
While there are far too many human members who have inspired me among this group of writers for me to able to list them all here, there are two very special felines I met there that I'd like to tell you about.
One is Zeki the Cool Cat. Zeki shares his life with Arden Moore and her entourage of feline and canine friends. Zeki is a member of what Arden refers to as her "furry fab four," which is made up of her two dogs, Chipper and Cleo, and her two cats, Zeki and Murphy. But life wasn't always so easy for Zeki. As a stray, Zeki was attacked with a knife and partially skinned. Fortunately, she recovered from the trauma and is none the worse for wear. In fact, she is one of the most confident, outgoing cats I've ever met. Oh, and she loves turkey.
During the conference, Zeki wandered the conference room, exploring and schmoozing with all the attendees. Needless to say, she was a big hit with everyone at the conference. But it gets even more amazing. Zeki is a certified therapy cat and she teams up with her canine counterpart Chipper and her human Arden to teach pet first aid classes. How cool is that?!
As great as Zeki is, Spirit is equally impressive. Spirit is a blind cat, but he has a curious and indomitable character. During a book signing event that took place during the conference, Spirit ranged up and back along the table among the many books stacked there, accepting attention from all the authors and visitors who came to say hello.
I was also privileged to attend an outstanding performance of Strays, the Musical, which premiered during the conference. Written by Amy Shojai and Frank Steele, this musical features a number of dog and cat characters, portrayed in this performance by Amy Shojai, Frank Steele, SuEllen Davis, Gil Nelson, and Theresa Littlefield. The performance was at times funny, at times touching, but always superbly performed. Written to both entertain and educate audiences about normal pet behavior as well as to honor the human-animal bond, it performs all three functions flawlessly. If you ever get the opportunity to see a performance, I highly recommend it.
Finally, I'm proud to be able to announce that I have been elected president of this wonderful group of writers, authors, bloggers, and cat lovers. I can't tell you how excited I am about that.

It's been more than a year since President Michael Driscoll took the helm of IUP. And with the question of who is to steer the ship having been answered, the matter now before the university is, "Where is it heading?"
Driscoll would like to know that himself.
So to help pin a destination on the map, he and his administrative team huddled with faculty, staff and students on Monday for a daylong planning session that was dubbed the Strategic Visioning Summit.
The summit was meant to bring different members of the university together so they could collectively vet a draft of a strategic vision statement. At 271 words, the draft statement attempts to define what IUP is, its reason for being, and the values it holds most dear.
Dozens of IUP community members spent the day reviewing the language contained in the draft and the themes it embodies.
Timothy Moerland, provost and vice president for academic affairs, called Monday's work a good start on a solid foundation. He said that for him the discussions confirm that there is a unity of vision among community members.
This sort of thinking about what the university is and what it should be had been called for even before Driscoll arrived at IUP in 2012, bringing about the oft-repeated phrase, "IUP can no longer be all things to all people."
So if IUP is then to be some things to some people, then what are those things? And that's what Monday's work was meant to help answer.
Work on the vision statement has been ongoing, having started last fall. But the university began really digging into the project when Professor Michele Papakie and a public relations class took up the task of talking with the university community to help it get a better sense of itself.
The work lasted through the spring semester and into the summer. And by the time they were done, they interviewed more than 450 people. With the help of some software, they analyzed the information they had obtained, finding that there were 10 prominent themes.
Administrators then took input on the themes and incorporated them into the draft statement that was reviewed Tuesday.
Those who participated broke off into groups and looked at the language in the draft and the ideas it embodies.
The review was comprehensive.
For instance, in a list of values contained in the draft, it states that one is providing education in appropriate locations throughout western Pennsylvania. But some said they thought that to say southwestern Pennsylvania is too limiting and doesn't speak to the university's statewide, national and global reach.
In another example, some questioned whether the statement that IUP values "knowing our students by name" effectively communicated the point, which is that at IUP students are known as the people they are, not as numbers.
Driscoll said the plan is to have a final version of the statement prepared toward the end of the semester and have it approved by the Council of Trustees and the University Senate before the semester is out.
He said the university will use the statement as a guide as it plans for the years ahead and as it undergoes the self-reflection required through its Middle States reaccreditation.

What brake fluid BMW puts in M3s?
I'm taking my 335is in for my 2 year maintenance and am thinking of asking the dealer to upgrade the brake fluid to a brand that has a higher boiling point.
Does BMW use the same brake fluid in the M3s as in the "lesser" three series?
My last service used part 81-22-0-142-156.
I think this is normal Ate DOT 4 fluid?
I used ATE Super Blue fluid on my last fluid change. It exceeds DOT 4 requirements, so the wet and dry boiling points should be plenty high for our purposes. I also like that you can get it in blue or amber color so you can see when you start bleeding the new fluid.

Yarn Wreath Craze
Posted by Jessica Pollock on Jan 27 2012, in Crafts & Tutorials
I originally jumped on the yarn wreath bandwagon back in the fall, but with the holiday craziness and my lack of photography skills I just never got a chance to post a picture. I'm still not thrilled with the pic, but it'll do for now – maybe one of my awesome photog friends will feel bad about how pitiful it looks and come take a decent shot for me ;)
More than likely you've already seen these fun projects floating around the web the past year or so and with them being so simple and easy, it's not hard to see why everyone is joining the yarn wreath craze. Wrapping ribbon around a foam wreath and then getting creative with some embellishments…quick, easy, cheap, and fun! I ended up using 2 different color yarns for mine, a darker shade on the bottom and then a lighter shade over the top. I LOVE IT! I then just made some various styles and sizes of fabric flowers from scraps laying around, so my only cost for this project was the wreath ($1 store) and at some point I bought the yarn (probably with my 40% off coupon).
My Fall wreath will likely double as a Summer wreath since I decided on more colorful fabric choices :)
Here's some great inspiration if you're ready to get started on your own yarn wreath:
And probably my all time favorite:

KUALA LUMPUR: Property developer Mah Sing Group Bhd group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said any measure by the central bank to curb developer interest-bearing schemes (DIBS) should take the current market condition into consideration.
This follows reports in the local media that Bank Negara Malaysia was studying the risks arising from DIBS with a view to implementing measures to curb it. "We can't comment too much now as there have not been many announcements, but generally the lending environment is still conducive and the interest rates are still low due to the competitive market," Leong said after the company AGM yesterday.
He added that banks are selective in offering DIBS to developers and market demand is still high for the scheme.
DIBS is a financing package launched a few years ago. It is a scheme where a property developer absorbs the home loan interest of the homebuyers during the construction period of a property.
Mah Sing offers DIBS for some of its projects, depending on the market demand. The developer does not offer DIBS for its commercial and landed residential properties.
On the company's property development, executive director Datuk Steven Ng Poh Seng said that with a cashpile of RM822 million and a low net gearing ratio of 0.19 times as at March 31 the group plans to grow its landbank, especially in the Klang Valley."We are scouting for more land," said Leong, adding that the company will also look at land in Iskandar Malaysia, Penang as well as Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
Mah Sing has set a RM3 billion sales target for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2013 (FY13), after achieving RM2.5 billion new sales last year. With its RM750 million new sales in the first quarter (1Q), Ng said Mah Sing is on track to achieve the RM3 billion sales target.
The group garnered RM436 million sales from in the Klang Valley in 1Q with RM57 million from Penang, RM175 million from Johor and RM83 million from Sabah.
Additionally, out of the RM3 billion targeted sales, the group expects 62% to be generated from Kuala Lumpur, 13% from Penang, 20% from Johor and 5% from Sabah.
The property player is currently sitting on 1,391 acres (562ha) with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM24.31 billion, which should last for seven to eight years, said Ng.
Mah Sing is also planning to have RM3.7 billion worth of launches this year."We have RM3.55 billion unbilled sales as at end of March, which is 2.3 times our property revenue last year," said Ng.
For this year, the group has acquired four parcels of land with a combined GDV of RM7.78 billion thus far.
The four parcels of land include Damansara Sentral in Kuala Lumpur (with a GDV of RM900 million), Lakeville Residence in Taman Wahyu, Kepong (GDV of RM1.15 billion), Meridin in Senibong, Johor (GDV of RM4.35 billion) and Kota Kinabalu Convention City, Sabah (GDV of RM1.4 billion).
The upcoming launch will be the 6.55-acre Damansara Sentral land with its first phase of the integrated commercial centre, slated to be launched in 4Q this year.
Meanwhile, the group expects to launch its new sales gallery in Singapore on July 8 at TripleOne Sommerset, which will feature the group's projects.
Mah Sing registered a net profit of RM69.5 million for 1QFY13, up 16% from the same quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter declined to RM423.14 million from RM457.78 million previously.
Leong said out of the RM69.5 million net profit the group had achieved, RM67 million was from the property segment while the remaining RM2 million was from the plastics segment.

Many people will see the signing of Darren Sproles as a negative. I see it as a way to keep McCoy fresh coming down the stretch.
3) Adrian Peterson - 307 points
I will take him "All Day" in my lineup. My only hesitation is that if the QB play does not improve, he could see eight man fronts for another season.
4) Matt Forte - 298 points
He is a monster in a PPR format. He showed last year that he can be a goal line back too.
5) Le'Veon Bell - 297 points
He shall be Le'Veon and he shall be a good RB (and most likely on my team).
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell
6) Giovani Bernard - 290 points
Just look at the numbers! I might actually have him ranked too low. He is going in the second round in most drafts and I think he is a rock solid first round pick.
7) DeMarco Murray - 280 points
I am not sure if he can stay healthy for 16 games, but when he plays, he is darn good.
8) Eddie Lacy - 275 points
His TD scoring potential makes him a touch higher than this, especially in standard formats. I love the fact that the Packers commit to the run regardless of their opponent.
9) Montee Ball - 263 points
Something tells me that I might have him a bit low here. Peyton Manning makes every RB look better. My biggest question is whether or not Ball can block well enough to stay on the field. The only way to beat the Broncos is to pressure Peyton, so Ball better be up to the task.
10) Andre Ellington - 256 points
If Bruce Arians is willing to give him the touches, I am willing to move him into my top ten.
Arizona Cardinals RB Andre Ellington
11) Toby Gerhart - 253 points
Are you shocked? You shouldn't be. Gerhart will get 300 touches and is a true three-down back. I think he is the biggest surprise in Fantasy Football this season.
12) Arian Foster - 249 points
I can promise you that Foster will not be on any of my teams this year, but he does merit consideration at this point. I don't trust him completely and if I don't trust a player then I don't draft a player.
13) Marshawn Lynch - 244 points
My first round Bust pick of 2014! He's unhappy with his contract; the team loves his backup (Christine Michael); he plays a tough schedule, and he is getting a bit worn down. All these things add up to potential bust.
14) Doug Martin - 242 points
Here is yet another guy I am staying away from. New OC Jeff Tedford wants to get multiple RBs involved, plus there is a new QB who has to learn a new system. Additionally, if the team was sold on Martin, why draft rookie RB Charles Sims? There are way too many concerns for me to feel good about drafting him.
15) C.J. Spiller - 240 points
One year Spiller will turn out to be a monster RB and live up to his potential. Is 2014 the year? I have my doubts.
16) Alfred Morris - 230 points
Supremely underrated. Everyone is talking about RGIII and the passing game and no one is talking about the Redskins' running game. I think Morris is a lock for 1,200 yards and 10 TDs. He is even better in a standard format.
17) Zac Stacy - 228 points
I really want to like Zac Stacy, but I worry about his workload. He did his best last year in games where he had 20+ carries. Too many carries in the NFL give a player a very short life span. I think you can ride Stacy this year, but not long term.
18) Reggie Bush - 227 points
He is the perfect RB2 in any PPR league. His ability to run and catch is truly unique. People will worry about Joique Bell, but I think there is room enough for both to shine.
Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush
19) Shane Vereen - 225 points
Vereen was fantastic when TE Rob Gronkowski was out last year. He is a PPR dynamo, getting close to double-digit targets in most games. True, he loses some goal line carries, but he is still a top notch RB2 in PPR leagues.
20) Ryan Mathews - 220 points
Mathews finally showed his ability last year when he stayed healthy for the first time in his NFL career. I am not sure he can do it two years in a row, and I am also worried that the team signed Donald Brown in the offseason. The Chargers are committed to the running game, but it looks like all their RBs (Danny Woodhead included) will share the workload.

TapATalk Soon To Be Deactivated
On Saturday July 7th we will be removing TapATalk from the forum and replacing it with a mobile style.
This has become necessary due to security risks inherent in 3rd party software that we have no control over and a lack of our options when it comes to controlling what and how it displays content. Plus our mobile theme is free for you...tapatalk is not!
For those that are curious in the month of May over 20% of our visitors were on a mobile device!
Is there going to be a way to default mobile browsing to just use the main desktop site or will it try to force me to use mobile?
Thumbs down... But I understand, security first.
It will always be default load the main "desktop" site, when a mobile device is detected it will simply present a tiny link to load the site as mobile.
Ah unfortunate. Safari isn't quick on my phone but tapatalk definitely is. This will cut down on the amount of time I spend on here considerably.
Nice! Great move/idea! I never could get into tapatalk after trying it for a few months. I havent had any problems with safari, it has been fine to load but then again, I'm pretty much always around wifi anyways. It's just the pics in the threads that can sometimes take awhile and most of those are because of external links and no fault of TPT.
Anyways, looking forward to seeing the mobile site!
Might be hard to get used to but glad you're doing it. Tapatalk has too many glitches and crashes way to often can't wait to see the mobile site :)
I'm brand new to TPT, but FWIW, I'll miss TapaTalk. I find that I tend to use those forums (both business and pleasure) that have Tapatalk access. As much time is spent on mobile devices, It will unfortunately cut down on the amount of time I spend on TPT.
I wasn't unaware of any additional security concerns with Tapatalk. I do understand controlling content - especially display of ads is difficult.
Excellent... I had nothing but problems with Tapatalk, and ended up using the regular site on my Nook Color. Looking forward to TPT mobile! :bounce:
I bought Tapatalk just for this forum. Lame... :|
Will the mobile site be ready on the 7th also?
-Sent from my Samsung Note, a "Phablet"
Yes it will be.
whatt?? :(:(:( that sucks! i love tapatalk! guess i wont be on here as much anymore...
Understandable; I do like Tapatalk and never have had trouble. Hopefully the mobile 'version' will work effectively.

Kenneth Piekarski, aka Slashed Tires, experiments with R&B bass lines and warbling vocals that meander into off-key universes. He's a loop artist, so the repetitive tribal beats he creates mesmerize and each new additiontrumpet or braying guitar riffadds a new texture. The Seattle artist's new EP doesn't quite do Slashed Tires justice. You have to watch the videos of him playing to audiences on the Puget Sound, his red crop of curly hair and thick glasses distinguishing him. The EP, though, is intriguing. It takes some patience and the right mood. It's filled with cacophonous noise and droning.
"Mull It Over" the dance track featuring singer Abi Swanson, has sweet lyrics such as "When I know you're in my life, oh yeah, it's such a feeling. / I could spend all day inside with you, it's so appealing." Those who recall local pop band Two Year Touqe will appreciate those sugar-coated moments. This is the funky, down-the-rabbit-hole counterpart to the sugar pop, however. Sometimes the off-key style grates, but if you're into Dub Narcotic, it will mostly appeal. The sound is like improv jazz or lounge. Other times it recalls a mass of fish jumping in a lake or a watery sun rising from a mirage-filled horizon, and that's pretty cool.
Slashed Tires plays Zoo City Apparel with Old Shoes and Needlecraft Thursday, May 31, at 8 PM. $5.

The ensuing backlash revealed a broker community unequivocally opposed to these ideas. One of many groups to argue against the changes was the Insurance Brokers Association of B.C. Citing a lack of consumer complaints on the matter, the group implied there was no difference between selling insurance policies and furniture or cars. "Name any industry and you'll find mechanisms in place for motivating the sales force," the association wrote in its response to the committee.
Advocis, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada, warned that new restrictions would bind the industry in red tape.
If brokers had to explain complex commissions, such as contingent payments, it would be unduly confusing for the consumer, the group warned. And altering the overall incentive structure could disrupt the workings of a multibillion-dollar industry.
The pushback from the broker community worked. By the time of its final report in 2008, the committee's three key recommendations had been watered down. It no longer backed the idea that "clients first" should be enshrined in regulations, or that limits should be placed on commissions or perks. But the industry would have to start disclosing to the consumer any possible conflicts of interest.
Advocis endorsed the proposals, saying the industry was in fact already adhering to them. And on Dec. 8, 2008, the council of insurance regulators declared the debate over, and thanked the committee for "a job well done."
Brokers are expected to make customers aware of actual or perceived conflicts of interest, but this disclosure takes many forms.
"As you likely already know, agents and brokers in the life insurance business in Canada are compensated by commissions, bonuses and other inducements from the companies we do business with," says a letter that one broker group makes available to clients. Customers are asked to sign the letter, which describes "incentive-based compensation" as an "industry-wide practice," but makes no mention of specific figures.
This is enough disclosure, says Greg Pollock, the head of Advocis. "For the most part, we believe that the current structure of compensation in this country works well."
When it comes to auto and home insurance, the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada, which speaks for 33,000 property and casualty brokers, said its code of conduct requires brokers to disclose compensation - if a consumer asks. "The broker is required to divulge the method by which he is being compensated," said Steve Masnyk, a spokesman for the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada.
For instance, the broker might disclose that he or she will be paid a commission of between 10 and 15 per cent of premiums. Insurers also make general disclosure statements about compensation, usually on their websites, but details are limited.
The Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario, the self-regulatory body for property and casualty brokers in Canada's largest province, also requires members to hand out a disclosure form that discusses compensation without divulging numbers.
But RIBO still uncovers cases in which agents do not have copies of the disclosure statement they are supposed to provide, through audits it conducts every three to five years. Tim Goff, manager of complaints and investigations at RIBO, says there is "95 to 99 per cent" compliance among brokers on this form.
The Insurance Council of British Columbia, meanwhile, has encountered cases where a broker has told a consumer incorrect information after the consumer asked for details of their compensation.
Mr. Bailey, the former head of an insurance broker, suggests the current system is not enough.
"[Brokers]should declare to the buyer: 'Just so you know, I represent the insurance company and not you. And I'm making significantly more money than you think I am,' " Mr. Bailey said. "Just disclosing the conflicts, in our mind, does nothing."
The 2008 detente with regulators signalled the campaign to head off reform succeeded. The industry diluted the suggested fixes down to a small number of voluntary measures.
"If you look at the system, the compensation, the way it all works, you'd be protecting it too," said a senior executive at a major insurer. "You don't want people asking questions, you don't want to disclose it, you don't want them to know you're going on a trip - because it's pretty good."Report Typo/Error

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Height: 5-10
Weight: 191
40: 4.55
2010 stats: 49 tackles, 12 pass breakups, 5 interceptions
If Johnny Patrick was on a team in the SEC, Pac-10, ACC or Big Ten he would be closely chasing LSU's Patrick Peterson and Nebraska's Prince Amukamara for the No. 1 cornerback spot in the country. Instead, Patrick is seldom talked about when discussing the top corner's in the 2011 class.
Patrick's size is similar to most NFL defensive backs, but it's his style of play that separates him from the rest. Patrick plays angry, with a chip on his shoulder every single down. One of Patrick's strengths is his help in run support, it seems like he actually enjoys coming up and helping in the running game. Patrick is a reliable tackler who possess solid technique.
Looking at his game as a whole, Patrick doesn't have too many weaknesses. Patrick's biggest knack might just be that he's under-the-radar. Louisville is rarely on national television, so many people around the draft circuit aren't too familiar with Patrick's production for the Cardinals.
At Louisville, Patrick started for four seasons where he improved each year. Last season Patrick posted a career high with five interceptions, two of which came in the final regular season game against Rutgers. Off the field Patrick does carry some baggage. This past summer he was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor following an argument with his girlfriend, where he allegedly threw her on the ground after she attempted to take his phone to see his text messages.
Patrick is projected to be drafted around the second round, but don't be surprised is someone snags him late in Round 1.
In Sports of Boston's latest mock draft, we had Patrick going to the Patriots in the second round. What Patrick brings on the field is really what the Patriots currently lack at cornerback. 2010 first rounder Devin McCourtey looks to have finally broken the bad-spell the Patriots have had in drafting cornerbacks in years prior, and Leigh Bodden is coming off his season-ending injury, but New England doesn't have much depth after that.
Kyle Arrington filled in nicely for Bodden last season and says he expects to push Bodden to start in 2011, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston. But, how high is the Hofsta alum's ceiling? Although he is solid, what we see is what we get with Arrington.
With a virtually non-existent pass rush, the Patriots secondary is asked to do a lot. Instead of covering opposing receivers for four to five seconds, McCourtey and co. has had to work even harder. Patrick's angry style of play should ignite the secondary and help form one of the league's best units.
It's hard to believe that the Patriots would draft yet another cornerback, but because of the inconsistency with guys like Jonathan Wilhite and Darius Butler, they might not have another choice. If New England can handle Patrick's past off the field problems, he would be a great addition to this secondary.
Note: Patrick was brought in for a private workout.

Na-kel Smith, backside Smith grind
Na-kel is one of my favorite people to watch skate. You can tell he's having so much fun, and he can ninja roll out of a sketchy bail. He's got so much control, it's almost scary—shooting this back Smith with anyone else would've been pretty sketchy, but even though I was two feet away from his front truck, he never came close to hitting me. He'll be around for a long time, so get used to it.

Raman microscopy of haidingerite Ca(AsO3OH)•H2O and brassite Mg(AsO3OH)•4H2O
Frost, Ray L., Bahfenne, Silmarilly, Palmer, Sara J., Cejka, Jiri, Sejkora, Jiri, & Skoda, Radek (2010) Raman microscopy of haidingerite Ca(AsO3OH)•H2O and brassite Mg(AsO3OH)•4H2O. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 42(6), pp. 690-693.

Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the arsenate minerals haidingerite Ca(AsO3OH)•H2O and brassite Mg(AsO3OH)•4H2O. Intense Raman bands in haidingerite spectrum observed at 745 and 855 cm-1 are assigned to the (AsO3OH)2- ν3 antisymmetric stretching and ν1 symmetric stretching vibrational modes. For brassite two similarly assigned intense bands are found at 809 and 862 cm-1. The observation of multiple Raman bands in the (AsO3OH)2- stretching and bending regions suggests that the arsenate tetrahedrons in the crystal structures of both minerals studied are strongly distorted. Broad Raman bands observed at 2842 cm-1 for haidingerite and 3035 cm-1 for brassite indicate strong hydrogen bonding of water molecules in the structure of these minerals. OH…O hydrogen bond lengths were calculated from the Raman spectra based on empiric relations.

Although Hazel does not mind the rain. Woof hates it. Water goes into woof ears and with the ear infection that has not been treated it makes it worse. All Joey can do at the momment is keep the outer ear dry. He has tried all products he can find at Pet-Co to treat the problem, but ear wax built up keeps on discharging out of the ear. He's worry that if woof doesn't get treated by a professional, Woof would go deaf. Thanks to doggy God woof is not, yet. Woof is guessing is because of Labrador genes. Any how "Rain rain go away, and come back on a better day".

Joey has been taking me out to the USC campus, and other areas in Los Angeles, showing me off. He takes lots of pictures and at times videos of woof and Hazel chasing each other, running up on trees, jumping over bushes, and surprisingly greeting other dogs. Woof guess that he would post all those pictures and videos sometime in the near future.
Hazel and woof have been getting responds from other pup pals, and dogster viewers. And Joey loves the attention Weoof are getting. Everyone, and their pups are amazing creatures from this earth. May the Creator continue to love everyone and each of you; and may your up coming future have lots of faith and respect for life.

Saturday morning, and my Joey has been exercising for the past five days. Now, we get out of the house by 5 am to the park, run, jump, and chase Hazel; while Joey does his thing. Today going back home around 7 am down Compton Street and 42nd a Rotwhiler dog...a huge one with a high anxiety bark, jumped over the fence and went after Hazel and Woof. Joey held on to the leash, maintained his ground with strong posture and demanded the dog to stop. The Rotwhiler continue to approach us but Joey said. "Stop! Go Home!" He was so laud that a few local neighbor walked out from their homes to see what the locomotion was all about. Impressingly, the dog only jumped and ran about five feet towards us. Stopped and went back to its fence. Woof was very proud of Joey for not running and getting scare; hes tough and my lovely hero.

The last time I rode a horse was on one of the tourist rides that Tom Groneberg describes guiding in his collection of linked essays, The Secret Life of Cowboys. I was in Jackson Hole for a family reunion when my little cousins convinced me to go on an afternoon horseback trip. Sinister elementary school types that they were, they made the ride sound like a casual affair. I envisioned a 30-minute jaunt around a pasture, or maybe even a few circles around a corral on a half-dead pony named Honey.
Instead, I found myself on a six-hour trek, and within an hour my knees and back were shot. I grew convinced that my horse (Storm? Thunderbolt? Mephistopheles?) possessed a sixth sense, some kind of animal intuition, and that it was waiting to hurl me into one of the snake-filled canyons whose scenery I was ostensibly enjoying.
Yet I endured the remainder of the ride, managing, with semi-heroic restraint, to avoid asking, "How many more miles?" every five minutes. When the ordeal was finally over, I somehow dismounted without injury. My horse's eyes, which to me seemed freakishly large, (Charlie Manson large—too much pupil) flickered with contempt as she (or he, who knows?) bowed for a snack of oats. Or maybe they didn't. The point is, the whole experience made me vow never to ride again. Rugged cowboy, I am not.
So it was with trepidation that I began reading Groneberg's account, in which a young Midwesterner heads out West to pursue a dream of authenticity and break away from television, beer and a corporate future. Here we go, I thought, figuring the battle lines were going to be drawn right away. Tourists, Easterners, and city folk would be black-socked tenderfoots with neon fannypacks and whiny kids who wished they were home with their video games and their sugary snacks. The cowboys would be strong and silent, hiding their hearts of gold behind gruff pronouncements about tack and rope, and the landscape of the West, with its scrubbed expanses and bloody history, would serve as a metaphor for the hard-won nature of honest truths, etc.
I felt, reading the first section of Groneberg's book, that there was some cause for concern on this account. For one thing, a masculine, Hemingwayesque aversion to contractions looms large: "You are going to be riding Powdered Sugar today," says Groneberg's boss to a skittish client. I'm wary of reading about silent men and their mysterious dignity, so you'll forgive me if I'm being unfair, but this concern does have a critical component. My question was this: If the West had so much allure, and the life the author left behind was so bland in comparison, where was the tension going to come from to propel the reader along? In other words, what was it that Tom Groneberg had to lose by leaving his past behind and heading out West?
Plenty, it turns out. Making my way through the book, I began to reconsider the way I was reading, and I found myself starting to think of The Secret Life of Cowboys as the story of a love affair. As a young man, Groneberg battles with the very dichotomy I've mentioned, romantically idealizing cowboys and attempting to become one of their number. He's head over heels in love with the West and the cowboy way. As he ages and gets more acclimated, however, his love affair, like all love affairs, is forced to contend with reality.
Reality Groneberg can do, and the impositions of reality provide this account with some much-needed tension. As the book progresses, Groneberg works a variety of jobs that culminate in the acquisition, with his wife, of a working ranch outside Miles City. Throughout this process, Groneberg starts to notice things about the landscape that escaped him in his first summer. Take, for example, the following passage, describing a calf he's just thrown into a "dead bed" of discarded ranch objects: "I stare down at the cow, her neck bent at an unnatural angle, nose caught in the middle of a discarded truck tire. The calf, its insides exposed to the world, has landed on a pile of greasy rags, old work shirts and jeans." If Groneberg possesses Hemingway's aversion to contractions, numerous passages such as this one show that he also possesses that writer's gift for rendering memorable descriptions in clear, concise prose.
By the time Groneberg acquires his own ranch—an act that, to continue the love metaphor, surely constitutes an exchange of vows—he has earned the reader's sympathy, and watching him do battle with the land and the exhaustion of ranch life makes for moving and entertaining reading. Groneberg is forthcoming about his failures and shortcomings. At a community calf branding, he fails at wrestling a calf to the ground in the presence of all his neighbors. In dogged pursuit of cowboy authenticity—and at the age of 30—Groneberg sets out to become a saddle bronc contestant at the Bucking Horse Sale, despite being mature enough to understand what he's getting himself into. As his animals die during an especially harsh Montana winter, he temporarily loses his capacity to love horses. The narrative picks up as it turns into a classic confrontation between expectation and actuality, and watching this confrontation play out provides the book with its narrative thrust.
Over the course of The Secret Life of Cowboys, Groneberg manages to build a working marriage with both the cowboy ideal and the West itself. If you're among those who have spent more time on the couch than in the saddle, you might find this account initially off-putting in its earnest quest for cowboy authenticity. If you stick with it, though, by the book's conclusion you may well be surprised by the grace of the dismount.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 25370710:MV8yMDE2NjA0XzMzODg4NTQzX0JCOUE4OEE2] [i][b]Zecharia Sitchin's work proven 100% correct regarding Ancient Aliens - Anunnaki! [/b][/i] Anunnaki Paper #5: Discussing the Anunnaki Papers by Wes Penre, Sunday, April 24, 2011 1. Abstract Before you start reading this paper, you either need to know Zecharia Sitchin's work pretty well already, or have studied my previous Anunnaki Papers #1-4. If not, this paper will not make much sense, because the discussion herein is mainly about conclusions, questions, and comments around Sitchin's work, and the significance of the Anunnaki influence on our human past, present and future. So, if you haven't studied this subject previously, I strongly suggest you get familiar with it before you continue any further. 2. The Accuracy of the Sumerian Cuneiform Clay Tablets The first thing we need to understand when we read Sitchin's work is that he translated the Sumerian tablets into modern language, drew his conclusions and found the coherency in it. That's all he could do. The tablets were written some 5-6000 years ago, by the end of the era of the Anunnaki's 450,000 years reign, or more, on Earth. The Sumerians were able to write down what was happening to them in their own lifetime and perhaps a few generations back and still get it fairly accurate, but anything that goes further back than that is hearsay. In other words, whatever happened before that was told to them by the Anunnaki themselves. It means that it could be altered to fit the gods. After all, they wanted to make sure that humans respected them and followed their orders. Some of the tablets could also have been written by them, or human scribes, with the intention to mislead. Anything is possible here, so please keep your mind very open when you continue reading: Figure 1: A Sumerian Clay Tablet Much of the information the Sumerians relied on, beside what the gods told them face to face was the teachings that came out from Ea's secret society, The Brotherhood of the Snake (or The Brotherhood of the Serpent). This first secret society on Earth is the father of all secret societies that followed, and albeit we may not always know what the secrets are at the top of organizations such as Freemasonry, the OTO, the Rosicrucian's, etc., we can assume that most of them have to do with the ancient gods, their knowledge in magic and the structure of the Universe (as they knew it), and the return of the gods. The information has been passed down through all these generations. There is way too much evidence in Sitchin's, and other similar researcher's work to discard them. Other such researchers that should be mentioned are, William Bramley, Erich von Däniken, Robert Morning Sky, Andrew Thomas, Maurice Chatelain, Harold T. Wilkins, Peter Kolosimo, Serge Hutin, W. Raymond Drake, and Jacques Vallee. Albeit, Sitchin has his debunkers, such as Mike Heiser[1]; at the end of the day, Sitchin still holds water. Some of what Sitchin claimed happened in the past has been verified by modern archeologists. Besides, they also correspond, and build upon, other ancient, sacred scriptures, including the Bible. His work is also backed up by most metaphysical sources, through channeling and by other means. However, the Sumerian Scriptures are telling only parts of the story, and are concentrating on certain areas of the planet, such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, South America, South Africa, Babylon etc. And like we mentioned earlier, it's all from the Anunnaki's perspective. Another reason to give credit to Sitchin's work is because the gods are still here, and those from the home planet (Nibiru) are returning on their 3,600 years cycle, approximately around 2060-2095. More about that later. I have already mentioned the LPG-C being in direct contact with the Nibiruans, but they are not the only ones. There are more people who have had face-to-face (Close Encounter of the 5th kind) with these beings, something we are also going to cover in depth later on. Figure 2: Orphan Planet Another question readers may have whether it's possible for planets to float around in space, like Nibiru did, before they are caught up by the gravity from a star system, please read this article from NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/18may_orphanplanets/ 3. Dr. Michael Heiser, Sitchin's Main Debunker Figure 3: Fr. Michael Heiser Just about everyone who is bringing some significant information out to the public have their debunkers. So also Sitchin, of course. The most "famous" of these debunker is perhaps Dr. Michael Heiser at http://sitchiniswrong.com. He has dedicated a whole website to debunk Sitchin and is also traveling around, holding lectures on this subject and others. Dr. Heiser is a linguist and claims that Sitchin's translations of the Sumerian cuneiform tablets are utterly wrong. Nowhere, says Heiser, is there any indication that the old Sumerians were talking about a 12th Planet or an alien race. He says that he is an expert in this language and knows what he is talking about. Of course, someone who doesn't speak the old Sumerian language can't verify whether he's correct or not, even when he's showing his "evidence". I'm not going to spend much time explaining what Dr. Heiser is talking about; you can check it out on his website if you like. One thing he claims is that Sitchin has made it all up like some kind of science-fiction novel. This is of course not true, and often Heiser doesn't seem to know what he's talking about at worst, or he was not a linguist at all and made wild guesses and put a story together that "seemed to fit" without any credible evidence. When met with criticism, he often gets quite upset and is not convincingly managing to hold his position. There are NASA videos of the incoming planet; it was in the newspapers in the early 1980s, and as I said, the Anunnaki are even walking among us, seen and encountered by many credible people, including LPG-C. In addition, we have a wealth of channeled information talking about this stuff. Speaking of LPG-C; when Dr. Bordon became aware of Dr. Heiser's debunking attempts, he emailed him the following response as a comment to Heiser's research. Heiser, of course, never replied: EMAIL TO MIKE HEISER 16 May 2011 Good afternoon, Mike. Just visited your blog (The Naked Bible/Eschatology http://michaelsheiser.com/TheNakedBible/eschatology-discussion/). Took the time to read everything you have here, on your other site, The Facade, and borrowed a copy of your dissertation which I also carefully and thoughtfully read. After some careful consideration of what Sitchin said and did (and the "scholarship" with which he treated us through his Earth Chronicles) and the rebuttals you regaled us all in your websites which you so ably established sound basis in your dissertation, I came to realize two things: (1) the Nibiru phenomenon is that, a phenomenon that has become quite a meme in our culture as your stance and the people sharing their views and feelings on your sites indicate; indeed, throughout the world, and (2) the scholarship that supports or denies the reality of the phenomenon is Biblical and sumero-egyptologic – a fact that makes both sides (yours and Sitchin's) open to claims that both are based upon (a) an interpretation of the historical record, (b) a matter of expertise in ancient near eastern languages, and (c) conclusions, being what they are (hypothetical written "pictures" or models of a phenomenon), can be again highly interpretive of the records treated as data supporting a view through the prism used by the interpreter: Sitchin says "it is," and you say "it isn't." But the story does not end there. There is, as they say, a "door number 3." This door is the one through which, wittingly or unwittingly, willingly or forced by circumstances, I am walking into this phenomenon. This is the door opened by experiencers who have come in contact with so-called Annunakis. In my case, it occurred when I was ten or eleven in South America, on the Parana River between Brazil and Paraguay, while fishing with my father northeast of Encarnacion, Paraguay. He and I were "picked up" by a triangular six-man craft and, while my father was kept sedated via interesting nonbiomedical means, I was not. This was the first of three encounters with the same individual who lead the first group on the Parana, and have since assisted the small scientific cooperative that LPG-C has been since the early '90s with very advanced scientific information and the technology with which to get our own by the same, or similar means, they have for apparent eaons. They called it the "brilliance," according to Sitchin; we were more mundane in the naming, referring to it as simply "the tank." We've been at it since 1998, when the first of two prototypes were completed, tested, and much to our amazement, found it to work exceeding all of our expectations. The results have been cumuli of information about how nature is and how nature works, from the infinite to the infinitesimal, and presented in some detail and with an historical sense of order on our new and improved website at http://www.lifephysicsgroup.org. To wit: we are in process of miniaturizing the key aspects of this apparatus, such that it could be used by qualified scientists wishing to explore the same Nature we did. Oh, the surprises that await them. And we are not the only experiencers of these who call themselves Sa.a.mi. and you and Sitchin know as Annunaki and fit the bill in appearance for the ancient Annunaki and/or Nephilim (the latter seeming human-Annunaki hybrids). There are others, and there are also others who are quietly pursuing face-to-face benevolent contact with "giants" in several places (South America, southern Africa, and the Mideast). In a larger context, there is also an exopolitical framework which is impinged upon by the past (and which is the reason we now all need not scholarship proving one view or another, but rather a model of what we as humans face today and must literally face within 50 to 70 years from now). Whether or not Nibiru is a star or a planet or a comet, all of that is splitting hair. The IRAS pictures did not lie, and the current South Pole Telescope data is showing the incoming as being quite real, and incidentally, proving Jim McCanney's contentions out to be more certain that any fiction I could write (and have written) about. No, Mike, this is not fable, and it is not prehistory. Let me close this unexpectedly longer note than I intended by simply asking (1) whether or not you've ever experienced a face to face presence with one of these creatures, and (2) what would you do if you could? Kind regards, A.R. BORDON Bordon also posted a slight variant of the above email on the same date, May 16, 2011, in Heiser's comment section. Bordon sent this in 2001 and is still waiting for a response: http://michaelsheiser.com/TheNakedBible/eschatology-discussion/.

Would you believe me ???
I guess not, so here goes your evidence.
According to Sitchin's biography on wiki
Sitchin attended London's School of Economics
right along side George Soros.
Lord Rothschild is an instructor at the London
School of Economics.
Sitchin worked in Israel as an editor before writing
his first book "The 12th Planet".
Sitchin came to America in 1952, the very same year
Soros started his Quantum Fund with $1M of Rothschild
Capital. Soros came to America in the same year.
Coincidence ??? keep reading ;)
Sitchin's first book "The 12th Planet" was published
by Berkley Books which is a subsidiary of Penguin
Publishing. Penguin Publishing is owned by Pearson PLC.
The stockholders of Pearson PLC are members of a quai-secret
company called "The Economists Group". Lord Rothschild
is a member of this group and also has another secretive
group within that group called "The Economists Intelligence Unit"
or EIU.
So there is a direct connection between Sitchin and Rothschild.
Rothschild co-financed Sitchin's work through his publishing
company and had contact with him at the London School of Economics.
Therefore, it was Lord Rothschild who helped distribute the Ancient
Alien Agenda.
still not convinced ???
The History Channel's Series of Ancient Aliens
was funded by the Bristol Meyyers Squib Company.
Guess who owns huge stock in Squib ???
Lord Rothschild !!!
still not convinced ???
Sitchin is also a 33rd Deg Master Mason

It is my theory that Sitchin is part of an Illuminati
Psy-Op pushing the Ancient Alien Theory to push the
world into the NWO. And there are connections to
There are also some real scientists who can prove
Sitchin is a fraud.

Sitchin is a fraud and funded by Rothschild

On the monetary front of CAUSES of poverty, injustice and white collar crim, the Treasury and the Bank of England have always been our target.
On the financial, legal and judiciary front of EFFECTS of Dishonest Money and how Honest Money could make a difference, we have addressed
- Her Majesty the Queen
- the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister
- the Lord Chancellor
- the Business Minister or Secretary of State the Rt Hon Dr. Vincent Cable.
We also want to take the Coalition Programme seriously. It says on page 9 that the Government wants to set up a single agency that takes on the work of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).
Our first port of call is, however,
- the Victims Commissioner Louise Casey who gave the talk "Putting the victim at the heart of the criminal justice system: practical goal or benign deception?"
- I asked the first public question, inviting her to our meeting the next day which she said she could not attend
- I later spoke to her and gave her the comments of signatories of our online petition among other papers.
A letter from the Lord Chancellor to the MP of one of our four cases, Paulette Cooper, mentions

"Prairie Yard and Garden" features impressive hosta glade
Posted by Judy Korn on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011
"Prairie Yard and Garden" (PY&G), on Pioneer Public Television, will be in Browns Valley on Thursday, March 3, 2011 to see Jon and Marcy Bork's hosta glade near their home in Browns Valley. Hostas, a great solution for shady locations in a landscape, are typically used in areas where it's difficult to grow grass and flowers because of lack of sun. Host Larry Zilliox will be in Brown Valley to talk with Jon and Marcy.
Created and produced at the University of Minnesota, Morris, PY&G is in its 24th year of traveling the state tapping researchers, gardening and nursery professionals, educators, and ordinary backyard gardeners for their expertise in horticulture, landscaping, and a variety of gardening topics in a sometimes difficult and frustrating growing region. PY&G has been one of the number one rated programs of national or local origination on Pioneer for the last few years. The program airs Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. January through April, with rebroadcasts Mondays at 1 p.m. and Saturdays at 4:30 p.m.
Pioneer Public Television, a Public Broadcasting System (PBS) affiliate, serves more than 375,000 households across Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa.
