Fry's Fuel Points Program Explained ~ Gas Stations: Shell, Circle K, Fry's
Updated: April 2017.
Here's all you need to know about Fry's Fuel Points!
I learned something new, as I was reading the fine print, so read on!
Most of you are probably pros with the Fry's fuel points, but did you know the last two bullet points? It's also explained in last paragraph. I bet many of you didn't. It's tricky and could cost you, if you don't!
You can use your fuel points at Fry's, Shell, or Circle K as stations. Here's a link to their full program details, but I'll summarize them below.
Earning points:
- 1 point for every dollar you spend
(more points than out of pocket cost with coupons, not sure of formula)
- 50 points for every non-federally funded prescription filled
- double points on qualifying gift card purchases
(excludes Fry's, Mastercard, etc.)
- each month total resets
- no limit on how many points earned
- occasional promotions to earn bonus points
- check the bottom of receipt; sometimes, you can take a quick survey to earn 50 points
- check Fry's digital coupons; often they have a promotion to get double (or more!) fuel points when you purchase gift cards. Load the digital coupon and when your card is scanned, the points will be added, automatically.
Redeeming points:
- use VIP card at Fry's, Shell, or Circle K (or key in alternate #)
(Fry's has scanners for small keychain cards, others don't)
- 10¢ per gallon discount for every 100 points you accumulate
- maximum redemption is 1,000 pts. ($1 off per gallon) at a time
- use during current month earned or following month only
- discount for up to 35 gallons of gas per redemption
- automatically get highest discount at Shell or Circle K
(can't change, even if want to use lower discount from previous month that expires sooner)
- can choose point amount to redeem at Fry's stations
(choose amount less than or equal to oldest points and they will be redeemed before new ones)
The last two bullet points can be important. BE CAREFUL and make sure you understand it! If you have 20¢ off from January and 30¢ off from February, you will automatically get the 30¢ off at Shell or Circle K if you redeem in February. The 20¢ discount will still be there, but may expire before you use them. Don't assume that because you saved 30¢ per gallon that you used up your oldest points, that are about to expire. You didn't! The only way to redeem those before the most recently earned points is by going to a Fry's station and manually changing the amount. If you make it less than or equal to what you earned the first month, it will automatically take those first.
If I'm confusing you, you can read their fine print and examples. I think I just confused myself, but I'm not sure they will make it any clearer. :)

All info is good..im happy to be a frys cust…
I have received from frys on 11-19-2014 a coupon that is "300 bonus fuel points"
but I can not find the coupon anywhere in my compute, and I did sign up for the
reward. I do really need help to receive these points. If you could help me in any
way, I would be so happy.
Thanks for your time.
I currently have 263 points for this month (Jan 2015) and 202 carry over from December and I'm told they're being "rejected" at my local Circle K's.
This has happened before. I've lost four or five fuel stops last year (2014) because the system won't take my card.
My entry ID number is: 660-262-124-59-9-133
My phone number is 520 803 0931.
Awaiting a reply on why I'm losing hundreds (thousands) of Fry Fuel points. (Sent 24 Jan 15).
Can you use a Fry's card for nothing but gas and still get enough points to save at the pump?
Where is the survey?
How does the "limit of one 50 point fuel bonus every 7 days " work?
When does the 7 days begin… date on receipt… date I enter to my account…or, 7 days AFTER the 50 points are posted to my account by Fry's ?
Is this a glitch or planned marketing idea…IF, the 7 days wait time starts when Fry's posts to my account, then I may have already waited 5+ days from my entry, then the 7 days wait time…So, you can possibly be waiting well over 12 days, in some cases, to make another entry…when the receipt clearly states a 7 day waiting period.
So, can you please post the information on this 7 day limit??
Thanks for listening…
Wonder too when the 7 day starts..sun to sat or when from the date I decided to do the survey. Hopefully Gina gets some clarification :)
This is posted at the end of survey, if it helps any:
Fuel points will be loaded onto your card within 5 days of completing the survey. Please allow a minimum of 24 hours for processing, then log onto your account online or through the mobile app to see your fuel point balance. Fuel points will be posted according to the date they are processed, not the date of the survey.
Limit one 50 fuel point bonus per 7 days.
When are the reward "50" fuel points actually placed into the user's total fuel points that can be used?
There should be a easier way to apply for fuel points
We shop at
fry's every week. We love the layout of the store and we love the prices on everything, including their specials. We also love the coupons we get in the mail for being good customers.
It's a scam. You earn 100 points for every & 1,000 in purchases. With a max of 35 gal. You save $35 on a $1,000
Do the math

Fresh off an October domination of the Transworld Business "Exposure-Meter" and a Best Female Video Part nomination at the 2009 Transworld Riders Poll Awards, Annie Boulanger has been laying down the law in the Whistler backcountry alongside fellow Absinthe riders Romain DeMarchi, DCP, and Jake Blauvelt. We caught up with her on a rare down day while she was resting her bones and waiting for the storm.
I heard Whistler had one of the best opening few weeks in history. Were you there to get in on that?
It was amazing! I was away on a surf trip and came back sooner to get the early opening of the mountain. It was so deep opening day, and it didn't stop dumping for two weeks strait. I've never seen that much snow that fast. We could go everywhere in the trees and drop cliffs—it was all ready to go. Such an amazing way to start the winter.
How's the rest of the winter been going? More powder?
The winter's been really sweet. We have so much snow here that I've been staying at home and riding the hill a bunch with my friends. We just went sledding a bit these past few days—took it easy with pow slashes cause features are looking a little sharky still, rocks in the landings and such. Another dump Whistler-style and we should be good to go.
So how much do you ride the resort when it's dumping?
I have a policy of not shooting and riding the mountain as much as possible before Christmas—that's my time to ride and get back on my board. It's the best time of the year, just riding everyday with my friends and having fun. It's important, because that's the reason why I wanted to be a pro snowboarder in the first place—and it really makes you a better rider. Once we start shooting, though, life is different—my life revolves around the snow and the weather. And when we're not shooting, I'm chilling 'cause I get so tired from snowmobiling.
You were at the top of the Transworld Business "Exposure-meter" in October? Do you have big plans to maintain the media circus?
Ha ha—that's crazy I was up there! It's hard to keep up to guys like Gigi and Pat more, but I'll do my best to stay on top of it.
You're filming with absinthe again this winter—how's that been going?
Yes, I love filming with Absinthe—the crew is awesome. We've been sledding a few times, and Romain has been killing it—sending it in sketchy pillow lines through tight trees. I've been pretty mellow, checking stuff out, getting back in snowmobile shape, and getting used to that scary feeling before you hit something …
Who's on your crew?
The crew up here is bigger this year. Romain, DCP, Marie-France Roy, and I are the Whistler crew, and then Jake Blauvelt and Lucas Debari are on the crew also now. Those guys are so sick—I think it will be so fun to ride with them and watch them live.
Sick crew! Do you have any specific goals for your video part this year—anything you want to switch up or improve from last year?
My goal is to not blow it.
Ha ha what do you mean?
At the beginning of the year I always forget that I can snowboard. Plus, I'd like to get better at doing lines and tricks and be more creative with the features I pick.
What are you excited about right now?
I'm pretty exited, 'cause it's suppose to dump this weekend, so we'll be riding deep pow again! We'll be able to go ride the trees and launch some cliffs!

Kota Bharu: Venice of the East
No one had expected that this season's monsoon finally turned Kota Bharu streets into instant waterways, exactly like it used to be 10 years ago, with water level ranging from ankle deep to chest-deep ..
And not only the town of Kota Bharu but the entire East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia region is currently submerged by flood water. And today, after the river began to overflow yesterday afternoon, at Kota Bharu, the locals took to the flooded streets, emptied from cars by advancing flood water, for a rare, once every few years, muddy water fiesta !
Even the hawkers joined the fiesta ! Some even cruised the "waterways" with boats.. emm.. how "Venice" like ! :->

Responding because I too spent a long time trying to hook the car seat latch anchors to the strangely perpendicular (i.e., wrong direction) metal clips in between the top and bottom seat cushions in the X6 just under where the symbol shows. I later figured out these were the WRONG place to connect, which explains why this made no sense that BMW would make it this difficult!
The CORRECT location requires you to go an inch or so lower and to spread overlapping leather on the bottom seat cushion at the seam to reveal the latch point. This spot requires no sweating or cursing whatsoever
This spot does not seem tucked in or hidden whatsoever once you spread open the overlapping leather.
There is very little information on this if you search on the internet or look in the manual.

Weatherford BMW
A colleague of mine had a really bad experience at a Bay Area dealership a few months ago. She asked me to share her experience on Bimmerfest. I was really incredible the way she was treated! Here is her story
I would not recommend buying your car from Weatherford BMW in Berkeley , CA. They will quote you with a low internet price to lure you in. Id be very leery of these people, especially their Internet Sales Manager, Roberto Roy. I went down to the dealership a few months ago, and placed an order for a 2008 335i Coupe and put down a deposit. He refused to give a price because at that time the 2008 pricing was not available. A few weeks later, I went down there when the 2008 prices were out and he still refused to quote a price. Then for no reason, he starts yelling at my husband and started to cause a scene. I dont think he liked being told he was contradicting himself and lying. He was very unprofessional and rude.
If you dont want to get ripped off, go somewhere else. I ended up doing a European Delivery through another Bay Area dealership and will be going to Munich in next week to pick up my car.
E92 335i - Monaco Blue/Saddle
F30 328i - Alpine While/Black|SportLine
I bought my X3 from him.... then 10 minutes after i signed my papers, he acted like he'd never met me before.
2015 X1 sDrive XLine - "Hamilton Maxwell"
2009 MINI Cooper Clubman - "Oxley"
2007 Volvo S60 2.5T
2007 X3.0si PlatBronze/Beige
2006 X3 3.0i, Flamenco Red/Beige
1997 528iA, Oxford/Tan
1994 318iS, Black/Gray
1979 528iA, RubyRed, Tan
1971 2002, Sahara, Saddle
Wow! Sadly, I'm not the only person that had a bad experience at Weatherford. Roberto Roy did the exact same thing to me when I was interested in buying a 2008 335i Coupe. I went down there because he quoted a low internet price. Things sure were different when we went down there and talked to him directly. We asked for pricing and he refused to tell us. When we asked him why, he kept saying over and over, and I quote: "I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, my friend." Translation: "I don't want to quote you a price because I'm basically going to rip you off when your car arrives. I want to see how much money I can squeeze out of you."
We walked out after he started getting really nasty and rude. He told me to leave my husband at home and that my husband was ruining the deal for me. No joke. The next day, I got an email from him stating he cancelled my order and he was refunding my deposit. I didn't even ask him to do it. So I called his counter part, Grace, and told her what happened. She tried to smooth things over and convinced me to continue with the deal. She cancelled the cancellation. My husband and I were still livid and had no intentions of going back but we needed to figure out another game plan. I ended up getting in touch with Irv Robinson on the recommendation of a friend. Irv was great by the way. He was very helpful and honest. He listened to what I had to say and gave some great advice. He didn't treat me like a stupid female. He got me thinking of doing a European Delivery and he coached me on how to deal with client advisors. The following day, I called Grace and told her to cancel my. One thing I regret is not following up with the General Manager about what happened.
It's a shame I was treated this way because I bought my current BMW from Weatherford a few years ago. If this is how their sales people treat customers, I shudder at the thought of servicing my car with them. (Which I don't and won't. I service my current BMW at another dealership.) So if Roberto reads this post, I just want to tell him to jump off a rock. I've taken my business elsewhere and I got a good deal on a European Delivery. In fact, we leave for Munich in a few days! Roberto lost my commission and I vow to tell everyone that I know that Weatherford is the worst dealership in the Bay Area.
I hope this post prevents someone from making the same mistake. I've seen negative comments about Weatherford on this site as well as on Yelp. So be very careful if you decide to go with Weatherford, but I strongly suggest you go elsewhere.
Weatherford = Scam
I agree with the negative comments re Roberto Roy and Weatherford BMW. He also attempted the bait and switch routine with me on a Euro delivery order. I told him to take a hike, cancelled my order and reordered through another dealership (Howard Zimmerman at East Bay BMW in Pleasanton was great!).
Here is a link to my post explaining what happened. I posted it in response to a positive recomendation by someone else :
2008 550i - Alpine white - beige leather 6 speed manual transmission - sports package - cold weather package - heated rear seats navigation head up display - Logic 7 sound system - satellite radio - ipod adaptor - style 167wheels
I thought I was the only one, who got the negative treatment from Roberto Roy. In the past 2 weeks, I bought 2 BMWs for me and my brother. For the first BMW, I called him about 3 weeks ago to get a car with the options I want, he promised me that he would call me back in half an hour, but he never did, until 1 week later (I have already bought the car from BMW SF for very good deal). When he called me back, he just told me that he couldn't find the car with the options I wanted anywhere, while BMW SF had plenty of them with those options. Oh well, I thought I would like to give him a second chance for my brother's car, because for some reasons I heard a good review of him from my brother in law, who bought 3 BMWs from him. In short story, he found a car that my brother wanted and talked some deal with me. I told him from beginning that I only wanted to talk about net cap cost, and he wanted to lower only $2K off MSRP. I said that's really far off my expectation, while BMW SF on my first call (without any haggling) was already willing to give me $5K off. Because my bro works around weatherford bmw area, I thought that it would be more convenient for him to pick up the car from Weatherford for the same price. So I told Roberto, if you could give me the deals that I wanted, we have a deal. And he started giving me BS excuse like he already worked for free, he was skipping family dinner because of me. I was like "Dude, I don't care, if you can't do it, that's fine, I can deal with someone else. At one point, he made me completely blow off my temper, I literally had to scream to him. I was like "that's it! No more deal for you!" . The next day, I picked car from the same sales person in BMW SF for $6k + off MSRP (few Ks below invoice). Avoid Roberto at any cost! Unprofessional, rude, worst sales person I have ever dealt with!

That guy must own the place, otherwise why is he still working there? Amazing stories. I don't go to Oakland/Berkeley any more (other than a quick drive through on the 880 when it can't be helped) but I have used Weatherford's ads a time or two with other dealers in the past. Sort of a "well, if you won't give me this price I'll go up there and get it from them" sort of thing. Worked well both times (3 series), so I guess I have been "happy" with their service!
I commute by Weatherford during the week and I would never bring my car there or purchase from them. My only experiences there have been negative so I avoid it like the plague. I go to Sonnen and East Bay. Some times Concord.
I once stopped at Weatherford and bought windshield washer fluid. Think it was $2.29. Transaction went smoothly, no complaints.
But based on everything I've read here and on Yelp, don't know if I'd use them for any larger purchase or service transaction.
My experience with Weatherford BMW has been positive so far. My family and I had been buying BMWs from other dealers in both So-Cal and the Bay Area. I was in the market for a 3 series. I wasn't getting the car and deal I wanted, so I went to Weatherford to see what they had. I found a new 2008 335i on their lot and was very happy with the deal and treatment from Guy Parish. He is the night manager and works the later hours. Over the years he has been helpful, courteous, checks-in and follows up. He listens and "makes things happen" both pre and post sale, including service needs. He knew I was interested in the 335d, and I asked if he could get me a 335d loaner when my 335i was in for service(when they were rare), and he did! I don't think it was a loaner car either, it didn't have any miles on it! I was hooked on the 335d even while in a 335i, and later came back to him to buy one! So it may have been a good sales tactic and/or great post sales service. Either way, he delivered. Win-win.
When my lease was up, I found a great car at another dealer, but I came back to Weatherford mainly because of Guy's patient persistence, consistent great and honest service and the killer deal on my last 2008 335i. With enough incentives it worked out again on my 2011 335d. It was simple to lay the ground work and there was no need to go back and forth. It usually comes down to the best deal and similar deals were still to be had, but I honestly can say I was happy to give Guy the business. And through him, Weatherford.
PM me if you want more info, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post his contact info on here or not. But just ask for Guy Parish at Weatherford BMW in Berkeley.

I guess some people here have good and bad experiences dealing with Weatherford dealership. People with the good experience dealing with Weatherford BMW are usually the ones, who just happily agree with whatever price the Weatherford BMW asks (surely below MSRP but above invoice). Beside, people with bad experience are usually ones, who try to beat the price below invoice (just like me). Hints: through BMW SF, I have got 2 3-series few Ks below invoice, while in weatherford, their selling price couldn't even touch the invoice.
Bumping this to add a bad experience with Weatherford.
A couple of months ago, I emailed a bunch of Bay Area dealers to ask for quotes on a built to order 328i Sportline. I got a few similar offers from various dealers in the Bay Area but I initially went with Weatherford because the internet sales guy was responsive and seemed friendly. After going for a test drive (in a car similar to the one I was ordering) and going over the options I wanted, the salesman printed out a build sheet, circled the agreed upon price, and initialed next to it.
3.5 weeks later, I got an email from the salesman letting me know that he couldn't order the car that we agreed to that day without adding leather (a $1,450 option). After getting the email, I immediately called the salesman who stated that it was impossible to order a 3 series sportline without leather and, as a result, I would have to add the option if I wanted the car. Surprised by this, I immediately went to BMW's official website, which directly contradicted the salesman and let me build a sportline without leather. I also called a couple of other dealers about the leather requirement and every dealer agreed that it was not a requirement and also common knowledge that leather was not required. Basically, Weatherford was either incompetent for not knowing how to order the car or flat out lying and trying to upsell me on options.
When I went back to the salesman with the information I collected, instead of getting an apology or confirmation that I could get the car exactly how I wanted it, I got a crappy response from the salesman that I should "not jump to conclusions" and that the build sheet in which he circled the price and initialed was "not official". What's the point of circling a price and signing your name next to it if it means nothing?
After getting that email, I cancelled the order and got my car from Mountain View BMW (which was extremely straightforward and easy to deal with). After cancelling my order, it took them more than 3 weeks (and multiple requests) to issue a refund on my deposit. I'm ok with a refund taking a couple of days but they were excessively slow in giving me my money back.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.

New roof shinles breaking and falling off
2 Attachment(s)
Hi, In September I had a new roof put over an existing 12 year old roof because I was getting solar panels.
End of Oct, Hurricaine Sandy hit and I lost a bunch of tiles. My neighbors' roofs lasted fine. Since then, I continue to loose tiles when its very windy.
Most of the tiles are broken in half and the bottom half is what comes down, but also larger pieces come down. One large. Piece looks like it only has one nail hole in it. The roof was installed through my solar contractor who has said that he will fix it.
I'm wondering what was wrong with the installation ( its only been about 4 months) and I am leary about the repairs. Should that entire side (its primarily one side because the other side of the roof is protected by the solar panels) be replaced?
I'm worried that if he just replaces the shingles, what if this keeps happening. I don't want to be chasing him down every month. My roof is high and I know enough horror stories that I won't go up to examine the shingles for a closer look so I was hoping someone could help me. I am attaching pictures. Thanks,
To answer questions: I mean shingles all the time, sorry if I said tiles. The original roof is 12 years old -I had my house dormered. The only reason I got this roof put on was because of the solar panels -they are guarenteed for 25 years and they don't recommend putting them on a roof older than 7-8 years. I never had problems with my old roof and those shingles are not coming off. Thanks.
Please post some pics of the tiles that came off. Sounds like they were not nailed correctly.
It was incorrectly installed.:eek: There is no repairing of it that will work.
Both layers need to come off and install a new roof correctly. A new roof will do you.:thumbsup:
You say shingles in one area and tiles in another, which is it?
Big mistake to just go over the old roof, no way to see if there was any rotten wood under the old ones. If the old ones where that bad you can be pretty sure that there was some sheathing damage.
High wind areas use a differant nailing pattern.
Based on the 2nd pic, it looks like they were probably not nailed correctly.
The fact that it's a 2nd roof layer may also be a contributing factor (you can reroof, but it isn't as good as starting clean).
The fact the they were installed by your "solar contractor" may also be a contributing factor.
Installing asphalt shingles is actually pretty easy in most cases, which is why it's so crazy that so many people do it wrong. Someone needs to inspect that installation to see exactly what the problem is, but if you're continually losing shingles from different parts of the roof, it probably means you need to start over.
#1 your installing three tab shingles. There the cheapest shingles you can install and are far more likly to blow off then an arcutectual shingle.
An arcutectual will be all one one piece and twice as thick so there far harder to lift and blow off.
#I know you had no control of when you had to replace them but this time of year where you live is the worst time. They have no way to get hot enough to seal.
Even if they where nailed right it looks like the tabs are just blowing off.

Shingles falling off
Thank you, everybody, who took the time to answer my questions. My contractor is coming out next week to take a look, but now I know not to do anything until the weather warms up. Thanks again, Susan

Simon Wren-Lewis writes with feeling about the "austerity deception"; what sets him off is a post that characterizes the whole austerity debate as being about "big-state" versus "small-state" people.
Wren-Lewis's point is that only one side of the debate saw it that way. Opponents of austerity in a depressed economy opposed it because they believed that this would worsen the depression — and they were right.
Proponents of austerity, however, were lying about their motives. Strong words, but if you look at their recent reactions it becomes clear that all the claims about expansionary austerity, 90 percent cliffs and all that were just excuses for an agenda of dismantling the welfare state. That in turn helps explain why the intellectual collapse of their supposed arguments has made no difference to their policy position.
One interesting point, which Wren-Lewis gets at and I've mentioned on other occasions, is that the austerity side of this debate isn't just disingenuous; it doesn't seem to comprehend the notion that other people might actually argue in good faith. No time to do the link right now, but back when we were discussing stimulus many people on the right, economists like Lucas included, simply assumed that people like Christy Romer were making stuff up to serve a political agenda. And now I think we can see why they made this assumption — after all, that's how they work.
When it comes to the right wing, Krugman has always missed the obvious.

Chocolate Raspberry Nut Bars
I was recently at a bridal shower and one of the guests brought these as part of the snack table. I had to find out immediately who'd made them and where they got the recipe. They were absolutely delicious. Judy added swirled morsels for just a little more "umph." Wow! They were over the top.
Chocolate Raspberry Nut Bars
A good change of pace dessert. Also good with strawberry or peach jam. I alternate nuts between almonds, pecans, & walnuts.
Chocolatey Raspberry Crumb Bars
Nice combination of flavors and appearance. I made this recipe twice, original recipe I found to sweet for myself but co-workers loved it! The second time I added quick oats to the crumb mixture and a combination of swirled white chocolate morsels and white chocolate morsels. Bars still enjoyed by family and friends.
Loved it
A wonderful recipe you can use other kinds of perserves.This sure a hit with the family
chocolate Raspberry nut bars
Test the recipe, too sweet, will try with less sugar, but over all the combination of chocolate and raspberry is perfect, with nut added make it very good with a cup of coffee in a afternoon

Extra Points: Past, Present, Future
By Lee Pace
Five weeks of spring practice 2013 were wrapped into a neat little bow on Saturday as the ghosts of Tar Heel football past, the present of a team coming off an 8-4 season and the avant garde future as portrayed by three talented freshmen and a wardrobe of spiffy new uniforms collided on another of those idyllic April afternoons in Chapel Hill.
Carolina football: 652 wins over eternity, 503 losses and 54 ties, a 54 percent winning percentage punctuated by explosions into the elite in college football followed by regressions back into the rank-and-file. Larry Fedora is the latest coach assigned the task of building and sustaining some football competency and consistency, and every indication through 16 months is that the high-motor Texan has the goods in terms of vision, leadership, sales, teaching and discipline skills to do exactly that.
"There's going to come a time when you're going to be really proud of this football program," Fedora told a couple hundred former Tar Heel lettermen at a Friday evening banquet. "We're going to get it back to where it was and maybe where it's never been before."
Earlier in the day, Fedora was kibitzing with former Tar Heels before their annual spring golf outing. Often the old grads might introduce and identify themselves by their era, and one greeting from a player from the Jim Tatum days of the late-1950s prompted Fedora to tell of his first hours on the job in December 2011, when he was running the gauntlet of fans and well-wishers at his introductory press conference in the Blue Zone. Among "Welcome to Chapel Hill" and "Go Heels!" and "Go get 'em Coach!" adulations came one fellow who blurted out, "Don't let a tick bite you."
"I kind of did a double-take," Fedora said, scrunching his face to mimic his reaction at the time. "I thought, 'What was that all about?' Later I heard the story about Jim Tatum."
That, of course, was the sad tale of Tatum's tragic death to Rocky Mountain spotted fever in July of 1959 after being bitten by a tick in the wilds of Canada. Tatum had won one national championship at Maryland and had every intention of doing so again at his alma mater, leaving bereaved fans ever since to anoint any shoddy official's flag, fumbled snap or busted coverage to the "curse of the tick."
Defensive coordinator Vic Koenning looked amongst the assembled lettermen Friday night to see if All-ACC linebacker Buddy Curry might be in attendance. Koenning was a linebacker at Kansas State in 1978 when a new head coach arrived in Manhattan in the person of Jim Dickey, who in 1977 was defensive coordinator of a Tar Heel defense that yielded a miniscule 238 yards and 7.4 points a game as the Tar Heels were ACC champions with an 8-3-1 record.
"We watched cut-ups that Coach Dickey had brought from North Carolina," Koenning says. "I was a linebacker so I watched Buddy Curry for hours and hours. He was quite a player. He made an impression on me."
Ron West, one of two new assistant coaches on the defensive staff, knows of those juggernaut defenses of old because, as a Clemson offensive lineman in 1977 and '78, he smashed faces with the likes of Rod Broadway and Dee Hardison as Carolina and Clemson fought to a 13-13 tie in Kenan Stadium in 1977 and Clemson edged the Heels in Death Valley by four the next year.
"Those were some of the most physical games I can remember," says West, now the Tar Heels' linebackers coach. "Broadway and Hardison fired off the line like you wouldn't believe. They were a smart, physical, well-coached football team."
Scattered throughout Kenan Stadium Saturday afternoon amid the sunny skies and yellow haze of a nasty pollen infusion were two dozen members of the incoming Tar Heel freshmen classes of 1964, '65 and '66, players who bridged the regimes of coaches Jim Hickey and Bill Dooley and ruefully remembered spring scrimmages in 1967 that lasted from noon until late in the afternoon.
"Later, I went into the service and went to boot camp," says Gayle Bomar, a letterman from 1966-68. "It was a picnic compared to that first spring practice."
Two former stalwart centers were in attendance as well, Jeff Saturday being introduced in the second half of the game after his long career with the Indianapolis Colts, and Jason Brown, also retired after stellar work with Baltimore and St. Louis, was spied on the fourth floor of Kenan Football Center talking stance and hand-action with line coach Chris Kapilovic. Gio Bernard and Jonathan Cooper attended the Lettermen's Dinner Friday night, and Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham recognized Bernard and the highlight reel running on the televisions in the room of Bernard's epic punt return vs. NC State last fall.
"That clip is awesome," Cunningham said to raucous applause. "We can't play that enough."
And at the end of the day, newly minted "ex-Tar Heels" Quinton Coples (now with the New York Jets) and Kevin Reddick (soon to be drafted into the league) were chiding one another in a back hallway in Kenan Football Center.
"I never lost to Duke," said Coples, whose 2009-11 teams were 3-0 versus the Blue Devils.
"Yeah, and you never beat State," retorted Reddick, whose 2012 senior season included Carolina's first loss in a decade to Duke and first win in six years over N.C. State.
Also provoking interesting conservation was the introduction of five new uniform prototypes the Tar Heels will wear in 2013, various combinations of Carolina blue, white and black. The new numerals are displayed in a high-tech font that Fedora sought out in looking for something that "looked fast," and the blue and white helmet versions are colored with metallic paint chips that lend them a glittery look. The facemasks are black and the center helmet stripes are wider than the navy stripes in earlier designs.
The uniforms, designed and manufactured by Nike, might not appeal to the old school among us, but the intentions are, one, to outfit the participants in a violent game in a more menacing outfit and, two, appeal to the tastes of current and future Tar Heels who have been weaned on the frisky wardrobes of the Oregon Ducks. Recall that Dick Crum ordered navy blue jerseys as far back as the mid-1980s to give the Tar Heels a more foreboding aura but was overruled by higher-ups; the jerseys were used for practice only when Mack Brown arrived at Carolina. How times and tastes change.
"I can't wait to wear the black," says safety Tre Boston. "You should have seen the room explode when they first brought the new unis in. I love them."
"I was amped up when I first saw them," added defensive end Kareem Martin. "I'm looking forward to our first game in them."
The Tar Heels will don their white jerseys in August when they travel to Columbia to open the 2013 season against South Carolina, and many of the cast of characters who were instrumental in last year's tie atop the ACC Coastal Division standings are still around and even better than before-QB Bryn Renner, running backs A.J. Blue and Romar Morris, receiver Quinshad Davis among them on offense and Boston, Martin, Tim Jackson and cornerbacks Jabari Price and Tim Scott the leaders on defense. Offensive standouts James Hurst and Eric Ebron were limited because of injuries but will be primed come August to be key parts of the Carolina offense.
The most interesting element of Saturday's intra-squad outing was watching the second-team offense with freshmen Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, Khris Francis at running back and Jordan Fieulleteau at wideout. Each entered school in January and has proven better than expected-Trubisky with his savvy, Francis with his speed and Fieulleteau with his hands. That's not to ignore the presence of the fourth January enrollee, offensive tackle R.J. Prince, but it's far more difficult to make an early impact on the O-line than anywhere else.
Francis rushed for 101 yards and Fieulleteau caught eight passes against the first-team defense. Trubisky's numbers weren't remarkable-seven-of-14 passing for 88 yards-but he showed the arm, athleticism and sharp mental acuity that helped him bolt up the depth chart to second team over five weeks of spring practice. Trubisky made one first-quarter read, set and throw that prompted offensive coordinator Blake Anderson to chirp from the coaches' box, "Holy cow, did you see that?"
"We got the right guys, for sure," Anderson understated afterward with a smile. "Mitch and Khris will look even better if they've got the first team around them. They were thrown in with the twos and threes and still did a lot of good things."
Fedora was able to quote the precise number of days remaining until the season opener, 138, leaving plenty of time to wonder how Carolina will survive without nine years of Barths handling the kicking duties, how well a pair of freshman middle linebackers can evolve and can't the Heels find some obscure clause to get Jonathan Cooper back for a fifth season? Meantime, there are plenty of good vibes spread through all eras of Tar Heel football if you can just survive the hay fever.

The FBI says the two border patrol agents most likely shot each other. The FBI is says "friendly fire" was likely to blame for the death of the agent. i love the way the FBI spins this as an "accidental" blue on blue. Accident, i don't think so; someone messed up big time.
http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-strong-sig...081636733.htmlPHOENIX (AP) — Friendly fire likely was to blame in a shooting near the Arizona-Mexico line that killed one federal agent and wounded another, the FBI said, noting the investigation was still ongoing in the case that reignited the political debate over border security.
.................................................. ...................................
Federal investigators used ballistic testing to determine that the shootings likely resulted from friendly fire, According to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, which is assisting the FBI in the probe.
Jeffrey D. Self, commander of Customs and Border Protection's Joint Field Command-Arizona, said that despite the initial findings that the shootings appeared accidental, Ivie still "gave the ultimate sacrifice and died serving his country."
"The fact is the work of the Border Patrol is dangerous," Self said at a news conference in Tucson.
While federal authorities declined to offer details of the shooting, George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said all three agents fired their weapons.
McCubbin told The Arizona Republic that the agents had split up as they investigated the sensor alarm. "Coming in from different angles, that is more than likely how it ended up happening," he said.
When the final report comes out it will show that loss of control of a M6 on full auto caused the event - just an unfortunate accident.
To see what is right and not do it, is want of courage. Confucius

Who's Watching Tax Preparers?
Have you ever wondered how ID thieves get their victims' personal and financial information? One way you may not have thought of is dishonest tax preparers. Each year, Treasury agents investigate allegations of criminal misconduct by tax preparers — a group that plays an important part in our nation's tax system.
During the past several years, my agents have investigated and worked with Department of Justice attorneys to prosecute tax preparers who sold their clients' personal and financial information to criminals. These tax preparers abused the trust their clients placed in them to protect their sensitive information from tax-related identity theft.
Tax identity theft is a serious and sizeable problem. It costs our nation an estimated $3.6 billion a year. We want to hear from you if you think you may be a victim of tax identity involving:
- a tax preparer who discloses client information to help others commit identity theft
- an IRS employee who either discloses tax information or participates in the criminal activity
- someone who impersonates the IRS (using logos/emblems/emails) as part of the identity theft scheme
Call our office at 1-800-366-4484 or visit us at www.treasury.gov/tigta.
If you are looking for a tax preparation service this year, take the time to check reputation and qualifications. Don't trust anyone with your sensitive information until you have assurances that they will treat it with the safeguards it deserves.
Very helpful information...thank you!

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > New Faculty Feature: Assistant Professor of Public Policy Julia Minson
Several new faculty members across a wide range of policy areas are joining Harvard Kennedy School this fall. We take this opportunity to introduce them to the HKS community.
Julia Minson is an assistant professor of public policy. Prior to coming to the Kennedy School, she was a post-doctoral scholar and visiting faculty member at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Minson's research addresses psychological biases that prevent managers, consumers, and policy-makers from gaining maximum value from collaboration.
Q:What brought you to the Kennedy School?
Minson:The Kennedy School is an amazing institution for pursuing my research interests because of the caliber of colleagues one has access to, the research resources, and the students who can immediately put research insights into practice.
Q:What are your primary areas of research?
Minson:My primary research interests deal with collaborative decision-making and negotiations. I am very eager to understand when and how people manage to use the input of others to improve their decision-making outcomes, and what are the barriers that stand in their way.
Q:What courses will you be teaching?
Minson:I will be teaching MLD-221E Negotiations Analysis in the Spring of 2014.
Q:How can the work being done here at HKS help address some of the world's most significant public policy challenges?
Minson:As a decision-making researcher I see tremendous value in applying what we know to be true from empirical research findings to improve the decision-making processes that drive policy.
I would like to offer students a "tool-kit" that will enable them to be better policymakers and public managers by leveraging decision-making strategies that we know to be effective, while avoiding specific well-documented pitfalls.
Q:What are you currently reading?
Minson:I always read a "work" book on my commute and a "fun" book on my downtime. The current "work" book is "Infotopia" by Cass Susstein. It's a great synthesis of both research and anecdotes on the merits and pitfalls of collective judgment. The "fun" book is "Gone With the Wind." I am actually re-reading "Gone with the Wind" for the fifth time. Everyone thinks of it as a love story, but in reality it's a book about the different ways in which different women survive catastrophic change. Every few years it speaks to me in a different way.
Julia Minson, assistant professor of public policy
"I would like to offer students a 'tool-kit' that will enable them to be better policymakers and public managers...," said Minson.

The Mass Metrology Seminar is a two-week, "hands-on" seminar. It incorporates approximately 30 percent lectures and 70 percent demonstrations and laboratory work in which the trainee performs measurements by applying procedures and equations discussed in the classroom. The seminar focuses on the comprehension and application of the procedures, the equations, and calculations involved. The seminar includes the operation of the laboratory equipment, review of publications, standards, specifications, and tolerances relevant to the measurements. Training covers mass calibration procedures published in NISTIR 6969 and are suitable for the calibration of mass standards to OIML R111 Class E2 through M3 tolerances, ASTM classes 1 through 7 and NIST HB 105-1 Class F. Training is provided to enable the participant to correctly identify and implement the correct calibration process for each weight classification. The entire seminar incorporates statistical analysis, process measurement control methods, uncertainty analyses and generation of ISO/IEC 17025 compliant calibration certificates for all measurements made during the seminar.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this seminar, using Standard Operating Procedures 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 29, and 30 and Good Measurement Practices 10, 11, 13, and 14, participants will be able to:
- Identify mass artifacts and use appropriate procedures to ensure good quality, accurate, traceable mass measurement results
- Use your slides and reference materials to explain highlights and key concepts of each topic to each other and to your managers
- Demonstrate how these topics fit into an ISO/IEC 17025 management system
- You will be able to implement the mass calibration procedures, validate and use the job aids, and use reference materials to perform laboratory functions and improve operations
Technology Requirement(s):
Participants must provide a laptop or notebook computer for the Mass Metrology Seminar and be well trained in the development and use of spreadsheets for complex repetitive calculations. Participants must have administrative rights for the computer so that that files can be transferred to and from it as required by the seminar exercises through the use of USB memory sticks or CD-ROMs. Availability of a scientific calculator (minimum 12 digits) and familiarity with its operation is also required.
Materials & Supplies:

Real-time monitoring of viable bioaerosols: capability of the UVAPS to predict the amount of individual microorganisms in aerosol particles
Agranovski, Victoria & Ristovski, Zoran (2005) Real-time monitoring of viable bioaerosols: capability of the UVAPS to predict the amount of individual microorganisms in aerosol particles. Journal of Aerosol Science, 36(5-6), pp. 665-676.
|PDF (218kB)
The Ultraviolet Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (UVAPS) is a novel aerosol monitor for enumerating and sizing microbial aerosols. To explore the capability of the method to estimate the number of microorganisms (bacteria) in aerosol particles, and thus to provide information on the concentration of airborne microorganisms, in addition to the total number of microbe carrying particles, a linearity of the UVAPS fluorescent signals with respect to the concentration of the fluorophores was investigated. As the amount of intrinsic fluorophores in bacteria may vary depending on viability status of the cells, the linearity was initially investigated for the non-microbial aerosols (NADH, NADPH, or riboflavin), with preset concentrations of fluorescent material in aerosol particles. The succeeding tests were performed with bacterial aerosols containing carefully washed Bacillus subtilis or Micrococcus luteus vegetative cells. To correlate the fluorescence intensity with particle size, which determines the amount of fluorophores (or cells) in the aerosol particles, the UVAPS data were analysed for each of 64 size-channels individually. The fluorescence intensity was linear with respect to the particle volume at the fluorophore concentrations characteristic to bacterial cells (correlation factors were typically greater than 0.9) and became curvilinear at higher concentrations. As the linearity of the UVAPS signals was confirmed for bacterial aerosols, it was concluded that the UVAPS can be used to estimate the concentration of airborne viable bacterial cells in artificially generated bioaerosols. The predicted concentrations of viable cells in the M. luteus aerosols compared favourably with the results of the AGI-30 sampling for culturable cells.

Welcome To Santee, South Carolina!
On behalf of the Town of Santee, let me be the first to thank you for your interest and welcome you as a potential visitor or business partner.
Though Santee is a small town of fewer than 1,000 people, there are many reasons we attract more than 100,000 visitors annually from all parts of the globe — convenience for starters. Santee is located on the south shore of Lake Marion, the largest freshwater lake in the state of South Carolina, and Interstate 95 dissects our town. In Santee, we pride ourselves on good old-fashioned Southern Hospitality: being able to provide the numerous visitors to our area with top quality products and services — along with laid-back lakeside living — at a fair cost.
Certainly, the Town of Santee has earned its reputation as a year-round golf destination. Among avid, budget-conscious golfers, we are best known as "America's Value Golf Destination" — and for good reason. Within a mile of town, there are three outstanding courses that don't cost a small fortune to play. This trinity has become sacred ground for golfers from all over North America. In addition, there are four other reasonably priced gems within 20 minutes of town and another 10 courses within 40 minutes.
Of course, with all that great golf to pick from, you'll need to stay a while. Santee boasts more than a dozen accommodation properties designed to suit any taste or budget, from hotels and motels to well appointed two bedroom deluxe villas. Once your round is over and it is time to kick back and relax you won't have far to go. Our small-town charm means you are just a short walk from Santee's famous southern hospitality, delicious cuisine and vibrant nightlife.
Given our proximity to the Santee Cooper Lakes (Marion and Moultrie), Santee is also popular with fishermen and other sportsmen. There are tournaments for the serious anglers, or while you are passing through town if you want to casually drop a line — or boat or anything else — we have companies that can provide you all the equipment and information you need. Similarly, our Santee State Park is a naturalist's paradise, offering Wildlife Refuge and Swamp Tours, just to name a few, along with bird watching galore.
For the meeting and business traveler — as well as brides-to-be — I am pleased to introduce you to our Santee Conference Center, a 17,752-foot, state-of-the-art facility with three breakout rooms can host up to 1,200 people. The Conference Center has proven equally popular for conventions, conferences and weddings. With golf and fishing at your fingertips, you can maximize your business and still have some time for the important bonding. Plan to have your big event in Santee. Our staff will be there to help you make your visit the best it can be.
In addition, the Santee Recreation Center and Waterpark, which opened Memorial Day 2015, includes an aquatics center, basketball courts, baseball fields, a soccer field, a bocce field and recreation pavilions. The main feature of the aquatics center is a thrilling 300-foot slide that starts about 100 feet in the air and takes you on a tube down through the three loops. Along with the big slide, the aquatics center includes an 80,000-gallon pool separated into three sections for all ages. Our new aquatics center is run by employees of the Orangeburg County YMCA, and is attracting both locals from surrounding counties and out-of-state visitors. We think you will find that the price is reasonable and the park is not as crowded as some of the other popular waterparks across the state.
These are just a few of the many activities to enjoy in and around Santee. Please continue your tour of our Web site — and we look forward to welcoming you as a visitor to our fine town.

I recently bought an inexpensive pancake-style holster for my J-frame. I didn't plan to wear it often, so wasn't too worried about durability. Unfortunately, this holster has a strange (to me, at least) issue. Shortly after holstering, the draw is fine. Several hours later, drawing requires you to twist and wiggle the gun.
Inside the holster mouth is a spot where the cylinder is scraping the finish off the leather, even though I only wore this for about 4 days, and drew maybe 20 times. It appears that the leather is soft, and after a time it molds itself to the edge of the cylinder, making the draw difficult.
The shop is being difficult about exchanging it. Only the owner can authorize exchanging holsters. I left it there for him to see, and a week later stopped by to see if he'd made a decision--No, but he would call when he did. It has been another week, no call.
Is there anything I can do to eliminate this problem other than buying better leather next time?

From £562,500: homes at Kings Hill, an 800-acre estate in West Malling, Kent, where amenities include a cricket pitch. Call 01732 848316
A window of opportunity has opened for spring sellers moving from the capital to the commuter belt or the countryside. The Office for National Statistics reports that London prices have jumped 17 per cent in a year, and the "value gap" between the capital and the provinces has never been wider.
This means now is a good time to pocket some profit while nabbing extra space with a move to the suburbs or shires. Despite "corridors of wealth" along commuter routes leading from the capital to the countryside, family homes are cheaper outside London.
Most couples moving out seek three vital ingredients — a manageable commute, a good-value home, and an easy school run. Estate agents say buyers are happy to buy off-plan if it guarantees the type of new home they desire while giving them time to plan ahead, getting schools sorted before they arrive.
Jonathan Cranley of developer Millgate Homes, which focuses on prestige addresses in the western home counties, says: "Buyers want a low-maintenance, brand-new property with architectural distinction and spacious, open-plan layouts."
Local planners are encouraging such designs, while across the South-East region, developers and landowners are responding to the growing demand for better architecture.
Spurred by relaxed planning rules they are converting rural buildings and creating new homes with dramatic open-plan interiors overlooking pastures and meadows. Run-down mansions are being split into grand apartments, the grounds re-landscaped and a modern-day spa or tennis courts added. Redundant hospitals, colleges, barracks, convents and sporting estates are also providing a steady supply of new properties in park land, green belt or bordering golf courses, often within the M25.
From £330,000: homes at Orchard Gate, a new countryside hamlet in East Malling, Kent. Call 01732 448270
Happiness is A home in a new Kent hamlet
Redundant Twenties horticultural research laboratories at East Malling, Kent, have been given a new lease of life, redeveloped as Orchard Gate, 37 homes built from reclaimed materials to give the sense that the homes have grown organically over time.
Country parks and a 49-minute commute
A former Royal Air Force base at West Malling in Kent is now an 800-acre estate designed with a mix of so-called "vernacular" house types plus amenities including a golf course, cricket pitch, country park, schools, convenience stores, a Waitrose supermarket, pub, vet and restaurants. The centrepiece of the town square is an original Art Deco control tower, currently being refurbished to provide office space.
Called Kings Hill, opinion seems split as to whether it is a soulless Stepford Wives-style estate or a model new town, but it is popular nonetheless. Clusters of housing are sprinkled around the estate, and green builder Environ is one of several targeting London commuters — the scheduled train journey to London Victoria is 49 minutes. Keeper's Court is a scheme of four- and five-bedroom houses with double-height entrance hall, cathedral ceilings in the master bedroom and pocket doors that allow living areas to be opened up.

Breaking down barriers
The Surrey village of Hindhead used to be a cut-off point for London commuters because of the long traffic jams at the junction of the A3 London to Portsmouth road — but no longer.
A new 1.2-mile tunnel burrowed beneath Hindhead solved the snarl-ups as well as preserving the Devil's Punch Bowl, a dramatic natural amphitheatre listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Easier commuting is causing property ripples further south in attractive country areas such as Petersfield, Petworth and Midhurst.
Lavington Park is a scheme of 18 new houses designed by noted Sussex architect Neil Holland set within the private grounds of Seaford College, Petworth, part of the South Downs National Park. Prices from £499,950. Call Strutt & Parker on 01428 734017.
£3.6 million: Chart Ridge, a spectacular modern mansion, at Trevereux Hill in Surrey
Trevereux Hill, near Oxted in Surrey, is where a fabulous, ultra-modern detached mansion with sweeping North Downs views sits confidently alongside a cluster of six more traditional-design luxury flats and two five-bedroom houses. Millgate Homes' spectacular gated property, Chart Ridge, has five bedroom suites, an outdoor infinity pool, south-facing garden, first-floor balcony, a triple garage and a vista spanning three counties. The interiors are a modernist showcase, with free-flowing open-plan spaces and glass walls. Price £3.6 million. Call 01883 716404.
Once known as the stockbroker belt, the area between Oxshott, Weybridge and Esher in Surrey is fast becoming Kensington in the country, with a new generation of luxurious homes offering all the creature comforts for buyers who can't stretch to Knightsbridge prices.
From £1.25 million: apartments in gated grounds at Number One Oxshott in Surrey
These buyers want modern yet traditional-looking homes in quiet roads away from railway lines and flight paths, but close enough to amenities such as golf and tennis clubs. Number One Oxshott is a 10-apartment scheme near the high street and train station, with its 35-minute journey to Waterloo. There is also secure basement parking for the Bentley. From £1.25 million. Call 01883 621122. It is one of the last developments of its kind in Elmbridge borough as a new planning rule requires schemes of more than four homes to include 40 per cent affordable housing.

i've run a turboed civic hatch from a roll. he pulled up to me and let off several times for me to hear his blow off valve. anyway, i was in 5th and just went to the floor at about 80 and he was on my bumper the entire time. I wasn't gaining. Then we went from about a 70mph roll, i went to fourth this time and pulled about 2 car lengths till 120mph and then let off. I'm stage 2. I later learned he had the stock 1.6L with just a turbo so it wasn't a swapped block and he didn't have the vtec head.
this was on an oval track of course

Real checklists. The hidden mickey checklist is just text and doesn't take advantage of iphone capabilities. Also, ride, show and dining checklists would be great, especially if you could schedule your trip into checklists and then follow along for how you are doing completing things.Reply

Great ideas! We are going to note these requests and try to get them integrated in upcoming releases, thanks for commenting!Reply
Michelle on November 3, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I think show times would be great and maybe a section for fastpass times. If we could update what times are on for different rides with fastpasses, I think that'd help. It'd also let us know which fastpass booths are closed for the day.Reply

BP has a really nice logo, but it doesn't really suit their dirty business. To me, a shiny green logo doesn't really suit a company that is responsible for the oil currently gushing into the Gulf of Mexico and onto the beaches of Louisiana, or the company that's sanctioning environmental disaster by being poised to invest in the Canadian Tar Sands.
We think the BP logo could do with a makeover, and we'd like you to design a new one to really show what lies behind the logo.
But hey, environmental disaster is the name of the game when you're committed to exploiting unconventional oil. As the wells get deeper and the oil sources get ever-more marginal, the risk to the planet increases.
But still, it might grate a little that a company that is actually considering investing in the Canadian tar sands, which is basically the dirtiest way to produce oil going, describes itself as 'beyond petroleum', and has a green flower as their brand identity. Could you design them a logo that's more suitable?
The tar sands is a good example of why BP's tagline of 'beyond petroleum' is so wrong. However you do it, turning tar sands deposits into fuel means massive environmental damage - to the Albertan landscape, which is strip mined and pumped full of steam produced by burning vast quantities of natural gas, and to the climate, which suffers from the extra carbon emissions caused by turning the tar sands into usable fuel.
So we want to rebrand BP, and this morning we've been doing some scoping work for the job. Our climbers have scaled the front of BP's London HQ to present them with a logo that we think might suit them a little better.
Our logo has been 'improved' with the addition of a bit of oil and a tagline that reads 'British polluters'. It's an OK effort, but we're sure you can do much better. So today we're launching a competition to get you to redesign BP's logo to suit a company that's investing in unconventional oil like the Canadian tar sands.
We're going to use the winner as the centrepiece of our campaign to get the oil giant to ditch it's plans to invest in the tar sands.
You can find out more at our tar sands microsite here - along with full instructions on how to enter the competition.
