I really had a hell of a time getting the sound I wanted from the multiple amps and ms-8, to be honest. I didn't have the time to dick with it all, so I just lived with it for a long time. Then I saw a trick on how to manipulate the ms-8 during calibration, and "viola!", instant awesome!
I think they are good speakers. I would love to hear them as a set, with the OEM crossovers in a drop in replacement setup...just to see how they sound as delivered from DLS, you know? I'm kinda using the drivers a la cart due to the ms-8 and separate amps running the mids and tweets.
I think I liked my CDT silk domes better than the DLS tweeters, but it's so hard to say because my setups were/are completely, completely different for each. The DLS mids put out copious amounts of bass though! I actually turned down my bass, if you can believe that! Lol
I'm very happy now, but the install was a bitch. If you can find some drop in replacements that have a good rep, you may want to go that route. If you do go with the DLS, have lots of watts, they are very low efficiency.

I mean what's wrong with being a gold digger. Men only date girls for their looks for the most part, they are just as shallow. However dating a girl for her looks is dumber because looks fade, however money can last forever. I don't understand the hate for gold diggers. They make more sense than most people.
Most Helpful Girl
I use men for food and money, what's wrong with that?
Absolutely nothing in my opinion as it's not 'using' as the guys are consenting to spend money on you. No different than guys claim gals aren't 'used' for sex because they consent to it.
" I don't understand the hate for gold diggers."
I do as society was built by guys and guys seem to hate being judged by gals and hate being 'used' by gals. Gold digging does both as it's judging guys based on wealth and 'using' guys for their wealth so it's generally hated and seen as wrong.43|14|14

Do you know where in New York your John Baird was born? My Bairds
moved into New York in the late 1700 to early 1800 from Blandford, MA.
At least three brothers, Ezra, b. 1764, Absalom, b 1765-1774 and Luke,
b 1772, the sons of John Baird and Agnes Brown, moved to Schoharie
Co., NY. Ezra is buried in Harpersfield, NY. Absalom and Luke moved
on to Berkshire, Tioga Co. and then to Newark Valley, Tioga Co., NY.
Luke married Catherine Powers and is buried in Newark Valley. I am
descended from Absalom, but I lose him about after about 1820. I have
been able to find only one child, born to Absalom and Nelly Powers,
William B. Baird, who is in Newark Valley as late as 1830. William
Baird married Cynthia Robbins and had at least one child, Jane Cynthia
Baird, my gg grandmother, born 17 Aug 1828. Cynthia died 17 July 1831.
I don't know if they had any other children. I know it may be a long
shot, but I'm wondering if there may be some connection with your John

SHEPHERDSVILLE – Finishing play before the storms hit on Monday night, the North Bullitt girls and the Bullitt Central boys both started post-season play in soccer with wins.
The result was not so good for the Bullitt East boys' soccer team as their season came to an end with a 5-0 loss to Fern Creek at home.
The top two teams in each of this week's district tournaments will advance to Sixth Region play starting on Monday.
Lady Eagles Dominate
HEBRON ESTATES – Light? Who needs light for a high school soccer match?
North Bullitt and Bullitt Central didn't appear to need any sunlight to play soccer on Thursday. In a classic high school soccer match that went to overtime and beyond, the Eagles pulled out a 4-3 victory in the only meeting between the two rivals during the regular season.
A year ago, the two teams played a 4-3 thriller at Bullitt Central, but that game ended with a late goal in regulation.
SHELBYVILLE – For the second week in a row, the North Bullitt Eagles jumped out of the gate with strong play, but the team's lack of numbers and depth came to the forefront once again on Friday as they faltered late in a 34-20 loss to district rival Shelby County.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – What could have been 'the mistake', turned out to be 'the redemption' for Bullitt Central senior running back Trevor Carnell on Friday in the 26th renewal of The War.
It was a reversal of fortunes in a classic contest that was filled with emotional twists and turns. The final 'high' belonged to the Cougars when Bullitt East's extra point attempt in overtime sailed wide left, giving Bullitt Central a 21-20 victory.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – The second rotation of intra-county volleyball match-ups has turned out to be much like the first as both North Bullitt and Bullitt East got the best of Bullitt Central over the past week.
That sets up a meeting next Thursday, on the final night of the regular season, with North Bullitt playing host to Bullitt East.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – The post-season soccer tournaments will start next week at various sites with many of the local teams having a chance to advance to the Sixth Region Tournament which will be played the following week.
One unusual twist came about last week in the lead-up to the Girls' 24th District Tournament at Whitefield Academy.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – It will be a rare intra-county clash of top-10 teams in Class 5-A on Friday when Bullitt East visits Bullitt Central in the annual renewal of The War.
At least two state-wide polls have both teams listed in the top-10 of the class heading into the game. The Associated Press has Bullitt East third and Bullitt Central eighth while Bluegrasspreps.com has Bullitt East third and Bullitt Central tenth.
Of course, polls mean nothing in this game. This is an intra-county rivalry first and foremost.

HEBRON ESTATES – North Bullitt struck fast, but Bullitt Central was in it for the long haul on Friday in the 39th renewal of The Game.
The Eagles were up 14-7 after the first quarter and had a chance to move further ahead, but the Cougars stayed the course, scored 27 straight points in the second quarter and then exploded in the second half en route to a 69-28 win in soggy and cold conditions.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – It was a play late in the game and a run that few people saw as a night of steady rain chased all but the most die-hard fans home as the outcome was well decided long ago in the 39th renewal of The Game on Friday at North Bullitt.

EVEN an abstract painting can have a sense of place, as the contemporary painter Richard Smith notes of Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie of 1942-3. "This painting is full of the brightness and excitement and animation of New York," he says. "The way that the lines are divided up is almost like cars as they would be seen from high above - say from the Empire State Building - with their front and rear lights, so that in one direction they are all red, and the other all white. I don't really think it's representational in that sort of direct way, but it has the liveliness of New York.
|Big and bold: Broadway Boogie Woogie, painted by Mondrian at the age of 70
"This was the last painting Mondrian completed - and the last few paintings that he did in New York represent a major shift. He breaks up the black line that was the scaffolding of his paintings of the Twenties and Thirties into patches of colour. The rhythm speeds up, and you get these little patches of yellow, red, blue and grey separated, so that they seem to be floating free. With all that yellow in Broadway Boogie Woogie, and no black, it is a joyous painting. I think it shows how really enamoured and exhilarated Mondrian was by the city of New York."
Mondrian, born in the Netherlands in 1872, had progressed slowly and steadily towards abstraction. By 1920 he had reached his mature manner, constructing his paintings from straight black lines and rectangular areas of red, yellow, blue and black. Then in 1938 the worsening political situation during the build up to the Second World War led to him to leave Paris, where he had been working for many years. Initially he went to London, then, in 1940, moved to New York, where his style altered dramatically in the few pictures he produced there before his death in 1944.
"Broadway Boogie Woogie has always been an important painting to me," Smith says, "as Mondrian's entire life work has been. New York has also been tremendously important to me as well. There's a personal link in that I'm another European painter who has gone to New York and worked there. Then, I'm 70 this month, and Mondrian was about that age when he painted this picture.
"Broadway Boogie Woogie is a bold painting for a man of 70 to paint. The picture is enormously beautiful, physically. When you've seen a Mondrian in reproduction, you feel you've seen it. But when you are actually faced with one, you can see so much more tension and subtle variation of colour in the surface. You can see the direction of marks he made with the brush. Far from being dry, Mondrian's paintings are wonderfully intuitive. Broadway Boogie Woogie is also a big painting in the context of Mondrian's work, at a little over four feet square.
"The New York I saw when I first went there in 1958 wasn't that different from the one that Mondrian would have known in the Forties. I think that Mondrian, too, coming from Paris and London, must have felt that this was an exhilaratingly modern place. I think one thing that must have affected him is the light you get there: New York is an immensely bright city. The light there is tremendously sharp.
"That was one of the disturbing things about the tragedy at the World Trade Center. It was such a bright day - a perfect morning - when it happened, and continued to be the most beautiful weather for the rest of the month. I saw it happen from my roof; I'm about 15 blocks north of there."
Like Mondrian's art, Smith's also reveals the influence of America. One of the most significant English painters associated with the Pop Art movement, Smith returned to London in 1961 with a body of worked that blended the language of abstraction with the forms of such things as packaging and company logos. He went back across the Atlantic in 1963, and settled permanently in New York in 1976.
One of the other attractions of New York to Mondrian was that it was the capital city of jazz, where one could see and hear, among others, the pile-driving pianists Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, masters of boogie woogie. Mondrian had a love of music and dancing that belied his rather grim, Calvinist exterior and austere way of life.
"Mondrian was an enthusiastic dancer and had a good collection of records," Smith says. "Jazz was almost like a soundtrack to the first half of the 20th century, from ragtime on, and affected all layers of society, from the highbrow to the low. Now that we're in the 21st century, I find I really miss the 20th century. In music, movies, and painting the 20th century has been a tremendous romance for me. Mondrian's painting contains a great deal of that excitement."
- The exhibition 'Richard Smith: Paintings 2001' is currently at Flowers Central, 21 Cork Street, London W1 (020 7439 7766) until November 17 and 'Richard Smith: Recent Paintings' opens today at Flowers East, 199-205 Richmond Road, London E8 (020 8985 3333) and runs until November 24. Five of Smith's works will also go on show from Thursday at Tate Britain as part of the gallery's new displays

I know the HIAS INC. since I and my family came to NYC as refugees. This non-profit organization was very helpful for us. The HIAS on the basis of my scholastic achievements and volunteer work considered me as a contestant for a scholarsip and I was nominated as one of the recepients of it. This helps me to achieve my educational goals and to be helpfull for the society. As a volunteer, I paricipated in a fundrazing activity with the HIAS for Darfure. All activities and communications during my experience with the HIAS have been clear, positive, productive, beneficial for people. Also, the Hias reffered me to a local community organizations, where I can be helpful and apply my scills and knowledge for to help others. For example,I do a volunteer work as a student advisor at the Hillel of Brooklyn College. The HIAS shows an example of helping in different ways to people who need help.
HIAS is an amazing organization that helps immigrants! My family was directly helped by HIAS to come to the US fromt he former Soviet Union. HIAS' Young Leadership chapters also do amazing work in the local community by mobilizing young people to be aware of the plight of refugees around the world and help to raise funds to help them.
I moved to the United States from Russian in 1994 and studied hard to learn English and do well in school here. HIAS helped me to afford college, and I am deeply grateful to them. In addition, I was new in NYC last year and looking for a meaningful organization to volunteer with. I found that in HIAS-I attended their "Interview skills" workshop where we helped recent immigrants work on their job seeking skills. In addition, I attended the Presidential election celebration in November 2008. I met some interesting people in the Jewish community and it opened up worlds for me in NYC. So, HIAS provided me with the opportunity to afford college and also give back after I finished with college.
I immigrated from the former Soviet Union in 1994 at the age of 19 arriving in the United States all alone. My immigration was made possible by HIAS, whose main mission has been and is to rescue, resettle and support those in need. HIAS helped thousands and thousands of Soviet Jews immigrate to the States in 1970s-1990ss. I received great education and made a successful career in the US. When I was at the point of my life when I had time to give back, I chose to volunteer at HIAS, the organization that made a profound difference in my life and in lives of others. I was interested in genealogy, so after I joined one lecture given by a HIAS historian and leading genealogist, I volunteered to help with the organization of Roots and History genealogy club and became responsible for planning the club's meetings, lecture topics, club promotion, and member retention. The club was and is a great success. We have a page on MeetUp.com and if you look up Roots & History Club there, you'll see that we have 45 genealogists. Club meetings provided members with hands-on techniques on how to do one's genealogical research, while HIAS's genealogist also read a mini-lecture each time we met on different aspects of Jewish history in the Eastern Europe so everyone could put the history of their family in the context of Jewish history in 19-20th century. I am now on maternity leave and don't manage the club anymore but the work I've done and the value it provided to me and many others was extremely rewarding and inspiring. HIAS never brags about the great work they do, they just do what's important to rescue peo9ple in need and to promote Jewish values and history. For that, I keep this organization in the highest regard, and as soon as I can continue my volunteering there, I will.
HIAS is an organization that has really helped people all over the world. HIAS assists in resettling refugees and has done the same for my family and me. In addition, HIAS award scholarships to refugee children in need and I was a beneficiary of such a scholarship. Their actions speak louder than words.
HIAS helped my family come to the United States from the former USSR. It's an organization that helps everyone instead of only focusing on jews. It's a pleasure to support a non-profit that I know, first hand, has helped so many people.
-- Hias helped me and my family to emigrate from Iran to USA. With out this organization, we would still be in IRAN and have to deal with prejudice and religious persecutions. -- Also I received multiple scholarships from Hias, which helped my tremendously with my financial hardship at the time. -- I volunteered at Hias for about 2 years. We had fundraising events… we had programs to help new immigrants…
HIAS is a wonderful organization with a team of committed volunteers. I felt welcomed and appreciated as a volunteer, and admire the work that they do for the community, and for immigrants generally.
HIAS helped us through our journey to the U.S. We obtained U.S Visa and received our Green Cards after 1 year with the help of HIAS. In addition I received scholarship in order to pay for my education expenses. My family and I appreciate their help.
I have been a volunteer with HIAS in their Young Leaders program for the last two years and we always say that once you get involved with HIAS you can never leave! HIAS is an amazing organization that truly cares about every immigrant and refugee population worldwide! They take the Jewish Perspective of Welcoming the Stranger and practically and pragmatically apply this philosophy (successfully) in all the resettlement and assistant programs they provide, both in and outside the U.S. I look forward to continue to work with them!

So where am I going with all this?
We live in a world with the most powerful communication tools available in history and our language is deteriorating because we are writing to the specific formulae needed for maximum comprehension of our audience.
Rather than talking up in a drive to create a higher, more precise understanding of the issues of our day, we are voluntarily dumbing ourselves down. We are truly speaking to the lowest common denominator.
Worse, in an effort to simplify our language, we are actually making it more complicated and less precise.
That's why, for example, nobody ever understood what the heck former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan was talking about. He was legendary for "Fedspeak."
The Facebook Faceplant
I suspect, in part, that's also why Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) stock is such a flop.
I know the NASDAQ screwed up, the company flopped and the underwriters should be taken to task for secretly cutting revenue estimates in the middle of that company's IPO roadshow, but ultimately it's the investors who are at fault.
Because they didn't — or couldn't — be bothered to read the warnings that exquisitely spelled out Facebook's slowing sales growth, busted revenue model and trouble converting tire kickers to paying customers – in plain, simple English, I might add.
Nor, evidently, did they read any of my team's Money Morning Facebook articles. The good, the bad and the downright ugly was all there if they bothered to read it.
If they had, they would have avoided the Facebook fiasco altogether.
At the end of the day, I don't actually believe the Sunshine Foundation's study. Our language is not being dumbed down even though our leaders may be.
The way we communicate simply reflects the world as we see it. You can "read" into that anything you like.

3 April, Camp Nou
The 2011/12 UEFA Futsal Cup finals draw will take place on Tuesday 3 April at Camp Nou during half-time of FC Barcelona's UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie with AC Milan.
Barcelona are staging the finals at the 6,100-capacity Pavelló Barris Nord in Lleida having reached the semis on their debut UEFA Futsal Cup entry. They will be up against fellow newcomers Marca Futsal, 2007 winners MFK Dinamo Moskva and last season's runners-up Sporting Clube de Portugal. The draw will decide who plays who in the semi-finals on 27 April, with the final and third-place play-off two days later.
Final tournament schedule
Semi-final 1: 18.30CET, 27 April
Semi-final 2: 21.00CET, 27 April (involving FC Barcelona)
Third-place play-off: 17.00CET, 29 April
Final: 19.30CET, 29 April
©UEFA.com 1998-2017. All rights reserved.
The UEFA Futsal Cup comprises three group stages and a four-team final tournament.
Preliminary round
Depending on the number of entrants, the lower-ranked nations are drawn into three or four-team mini-tournaments played at the start of the season. Each mini-tournament is staged by one of the clubs and each team plays each other once with the group winners progressing.
Main round
The preliminary round winners join all but the four highest-ranked entrants excused the previous stage. They are drawn into six groups of four, staged as one-venue mini-tournaments, with the top two teams going through.
Elite round
The 12 teams progressing from the main round join the four top seeds and are drawn into four groups of four teams. The winners of the one-venue mini-tournaments in late autumn progress to the finals.
The four-team finals are held over a weekend in late April and hosted by one of the qualifiers. The tournament is played as a knockout with the semi-finals followed two days later by the final and third-place play-off. If the third-place match is level after 40 minutes it goes straight to penalties, in the other games ten minutes of extra time will be played.
Further details, including the criteria for separating teams that finish level on points in a group, or after extra time in a match, can be found in the
official competition regulations.

Our concept of development implies a rejection of the frequently held view that cognitive development results from the gradual accumulation of separate changes. We believe that child development is a complex dialectical process characterized by periodicity, unevenness in the development of different functions, metamorphosis or qualitative transformation of one form into another, intertwining of external and internal factors, and adaptive processes which overcome impediments that the child encounters. Steeped in the notion of evolutionary change, most works in child psychology ignore those turning points, those spasmodic and revolutionary changes that are so frequent in the history of child development. To the naïve mind, revolution and evolution seem incompatible and historic development continues only so long as it follows a straight line. Where upheavals occur, where the historical fabric is ruptured, the naïve mind sees only catastrophe, gaps, and discontinuity. History seems to stop dead, until it once again takes the direct, linear path of development. Scientific thought, on the contrary, sees revolution and evolution as two forms of development that are mutually related and mutually presuppose each other. Leaps in the child's development are seen by the scientific mind as no more than a in the general line of development.
"trialogue" -- UM, NO.
I asked him, "If paradigms are really incommensurable, how is history of science possible? Wouldn't we be merely interpreting the past in the light of the present? Wouldn't the past be inaccessible to us? Wouldn't it be 'incommensurable?' " [8]He started moaning. He put his head in his hands and was muttering, "He's trying to kill me. He's trying to kill me."And then I added, "…except for someone who imagines himself to be God."It was at this point that Kuhn threw the ashtray at me.And missed.
I warned you... DOWNLOADHere it is -- 19 minutes worth of the most Controversial Songs of 2010 according to the Singles Jukebox. This is pretty much my first mix of this sort, and as for basic mixology competence, I can only guarantee that I occasionally paid attention to the keys that the songs were in. I also tried not to cheat by using other songs (cheated twice, both from the Kanye album, whut) or good remixes of otherwise shitty songs (YOU'RE WELCOME, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING). Controversy is determined by a super secret formula based on the old Radio On method (h/t koganbot) -- basically, these are the tracks that most polarized voters. That means that if you love something on here, I've probably given you reason to now hate it; and if you hate something, I've (maybe) given you a reason to try not to want to stab yourself in the face when you hear it.

But, I would recommend calling your ob/gyn just to get a fetal Doppler to check the fetal heart rate and if the rate is good then you do not have anything to worry about and when you hear the heart rate this will drastically decrease your anxiety too.
I hope this helps, if you have more questions, please ask

Flanker Jones, playing his first game for nearly two months, levelled the score when he dived over and Gareth Bowen's conversion clinched the points.
Edinburgh scored first through a Scott Murray converted try, but Alix Popham replied for a 5-7 half-time scoreline.
Two Chris Paterson penalties took the Scots clear, but a late Bowen penalty and Jones' try completed the comeback.
Replacement Jones emerged triumphantly from under a pile of bodies after a forward drive from a line-out nine minutes into injury time.
And Bowen held his nerve to convert just to the right of the posts.
Edinburgh's opening try came in similar fashion after 17 minutes when Murray touched down in the corner.
With their line-out game all at sea, the Scarlets were on the back foot for long periods of the first half, but somehow they managed to hold out and Popham got them on the board in first-half stoppage time.
Full-back Lee Byrne set up the Wales number eight after Regan King had capitalised on spilled Edinburgh possession.
With the weather deteriorating, it was Edinburgh's turn to roll up their sleeves as the home side piled on the pressure after the break.
They did just that and on 58 minutes Paterson landed a penalty from 30 metres to extend the lead to 10-5.
A 78th-minute penalty by Paterson looked to have clinched a second Pool Six win for the Scots, but the Scarlets forced a series of late penalties and made the visitors pay.
"Some might say we were lucky, but we dug in there and kept in there until the end.
"We are not going to beat the best sides in Europe playing like that but we were very committed and kept our composure which we weren't doing this time last year.
"We have now got a lot of work to do on our game over the next month ahead of what is going to be a huge December."
"I was very proud of our players, particularly for the way they played in that second half when Llanelli came out fighting. I was just disappointed we couldn't finish it off.
"We blew opportunities in the first half and didn't maximise the pressure we exerted.
"This pool was always going to be an uphill task but we came away with a bonus and it could be crucial in the final stages."

text: Dear all, (1) We are using maui-3.2.6p13 and we have a problem with the configuration of NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY=FASTEST in combination with configured PARTITION values of each node. What I mean is: in maui.cfg there is such a line for each node: NODECFG[cn1] SPEED=1.0 PARTITION=SLOW ... NODECFG[cn50] SPEED=2.0 PARTITION=FAST If no partition is requested the scheduler always uses nodes with lowest SPEED. If PARTITION:FAST is requested the scheduler uses the nodes with lowest SPEED in this partition. Before we configured partitions in our cluster the scheduler always took nodes with the highest speed value. So, what is to do to realize FASTEST correctly? (2) Another problem with patitions arises when we configure standig reservations. Without SRCFG[wartung] PARTITION=ALL the reservation is only for the first partition, even though all nodes are listed in HOSTLIST. Thanks! Henrik

Some of you may recall from a previous column that my first taste of housewares retailing came as a sales associate at a Macy's in Upstate New York.
So with that full disclosure, the selection of Macy's as this year's HomeWorld Business Retail Champion (see HomeWorld's May 16, 2011, issue) marks an important achievement for the retailer and its housewares strategy. It should strike a harmonious note, too, for a housewares industry that nervously has witnessed the department store channel's shrinking share the past two decades against a national big-box uprising.
Reports of the death of department stores were premature, after all.
My brief tour of duty at Macy's some 30 years ago came when department stores still were usually the first choice in many locales for top-rate branded fashions and home goods.
The Right Move
It was easy for me and others who grew up with Macy's to embrace Federated's decision after acquiring May to unite its divisions (except Bloomingdale's) and corporate identity under the Macy's brand. It was the right move, even at the risk of alienating in the near term stalwarts of the nameplates Macy's replaced. I know several Chicagoans, for example, who continue to insist they won't shop former Marshall Field's locations now carrying the Macy's flag.
Sacrificing some traditional customers may be an acceptable loss by Macy's in its quest to be a top-of-mind destination for current and future generations of shoppers for whom such names as Marshall Field's, Bon Marche, Abraham & Strauss and May Company one day will be relics of a bygone retail era.
Uniting under the Macy's name was more than a symbolic gesture to capitalize on an icon familiar across the land to anyone who has watched a Thanksgiving Day Parade or Miracle on 34th Street. It was a chance to deploy a considerable asset on a national (and international) scale while cultivating a focused brand image. It was a necessary national mass marketing-inspired maneuver for a retailer ultimately looking to secure its distinction from national mass marketers.
Brand Relevance
A unified advertising and web platform supports Macy's image and marketing efficiency. Keeping the brand on the outside of stores relevant, though, may depend more on brands inside the stores.
Private labeling as a focal point of Macy's differentiation plan is old news. Macy's often seems starstruck in its pursuit of celebrity brands, but they help keep Macy's connected with a diverse public.
Collaborative Effort
The intensifying deployment by Macy's of house brands in home goods has been met with its share of skepticism. It's hard to argue, however, against the effectiveness of a captive-brand strategy that has secured exclusivity and lifted sales in a system that fosters collaboration between Macy's product development and buying teams for a more confluent, yet adaptable merchandise presentation.
Beyond its private-label ambition, Macy's overall potential in housewares can't be gauged without factoring a resurgent effort to elevate key national brands in the better-to-best segments and to be more assertive in the identification and launch of promising new resources.
The Macy's website gives customers in all its markets (and those without a nearby Macy's store) a chance to shop the full, extensive scope of the self-proclaimed "World's Largest Store," the famed Herald Square flagship. Meanwhile, the My Macy's localized merchandising strategy is bearing fruit. The retailer credits its recent sales bloom in part to store assortments tailored to local preferences.
It will take more than a deep-dish pizza pan in each Chicagoland Macy's to make everyone forget Marshall Field's. But you don't need to have grown up with Macy's to appreciate how important its unified progress is to the future of housewares in the department store channel.

The Great Gaias - A Story-Driven RPG
Here we are with another kickstarter RPG, and I can see the not again expressions. This time the game is called The Great Gaias. The goal is $25,000 with 24 days left.
Horizon's End is proud to present its first game, The Great Gaias. This modern take on the classic JRPG genre brings forth the best qualities of these forgotten games. With more than sixty hours of gameplay including sidequests, hidden characters, crafting, and multiple endings, we hope to rival such classics as Chrono Trigger, Xenogears and the Final Fantasy series.
The Great Gaias is an ancient tome authored by the Gods that is able to reincarnate the souls of ones who have led a life that was supremely influential and helped shape history. The First Men, the Chosen Ones, having been granted immortality by the Gods and free will, were charged with the governance of lesser man and ruled justly and righteously their new city called Validus. After years of prosperity, a stranger from the east, Grindelwald Maultor, brought magic to the First Men, and with this new-found power came tyranny.
Using this mighty gift he corrupted the immortal First Men, transforming them to wickedness. The Gauf, as these ten immortal warlords were named, waged a bloodthirsty war against the other free folk of Tenat. It wasn't until the Warriors of Old, souls birthed from The Great Gaias, battled Validus, and pushed their forces back, imprisoning the immortal Gauf and Lord Maultor within an ancient Tower of the Gods.
Peace has reigned for a millennia, but a new age is dawning in which an ancient magic is returning to the world. The souls of the Great Gaias have all been reborn into existence once again, and the seals of the ancient tower are weakening. It is up to a small group of unlikely adventurers to uncover the past and fulfill an age-old prophecy that will undoubtedly shake the very foundations of the modern world and shape the direction of a new age.
The Great Gaias will employ many features that were cherished by the players of this classic style. Throughout the game you will encounter an elaborate and highly developed lore supported and developed upon by the many systems revolving around it. Features such as the bestiary, biography, quest journal, and The Grand Arcanum, all help to compliment our vision of this rich and detailed world.

Mass Flow Test Systems & Instrumentation
For over 30 years, Cincinnati Test Systems (CTS) has been a leader in the design and fabrication of mass flow testing technology. Mass flow rate is the mass of a substance (liquid or gas) flowing past a fixed point per unit of time. Mass flow systems measure the volumetric flow of air passing into or through a product per unit of time (e.g. cubic centimeters of air per minute). This measurement is used for the leak testing and blockage (occlusion) testing of devices.
CTS' Mass Flow Meters
Through extensive application experience, our engineering team has developed comprehensive knowledge of the factors that must be considered when integrating a mass flow test instrument into a production testing environment. To get the most accurate test results, it is critical to know the best mass flow technology to use for your application, how to obtain measurement repeatability, and how to minimize test noise caused by environmental factors. The range of the flow test system is also a key consideration for optimum precision and repeatability.
Mass Flow Meter Technology
What really sets CTS apart from the competition is our ability to offer application-specific, turnkey systems that meet the unique needs of our customers' challenging production environments. We will work with you to determine the best flow testing solution for your needs.
CTS can also develop a completely custom mass flow test system based on your unique requirements.

Start-up Nuconomy Tuesday launched a free hosted service that it hopes can expand Web analytics beyond the traditional page view model by automating the slicing and dicing of data and by measuring new types of user activity like blog comments and videos.
The Studio Web analytics tool has been tracking some 80 million unique users for customers selected to join the private beta program that began in February, noted Shahar Nechmand, CEO of the San Francisco-based firm.
Nuconomy released the Studio Web service at the same time Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. have started targeting the Web analytics as a service market. For example, Google just last week rolled out a slew of new features for its Google analytics service, including custom report generation, advanced segmentation and integration with Google AdSense.
For its part, Yahoo earlier this month began rolling a beta version of a new Web analytics service, which the company said will provide up-to-date reports and graphs showing metrics like sales, page views and sources of traffic to Web site operators.
Since the beta version of the Studio Web service was launched last winter, Nuconomy has added a data mining engine that provides what the company calls proactive analytics. The engine continually monitors all aspects of Web site traffic and user behavior, and automatically highlights the most telling results to help users improve business operations, Nechmand said.
"Our vision from Day One was that data should not be used just for reports," he added. "Data should be the heart that pumps and moves everything in the Web site. You don't need to look at everything. [The data mining engine] tells you what are the most important things that happen to your business."
The automated data mining techniques can help companies more quickly uncover trends that could be affecting their businesses, Nuconomy said. For example, Studio Web could discover a change in commenting trends on a site, the company said.
By automating data analysis, companies can avoid having to do the tedious "slicing and dicing" of data that's long been done to uncover new trends on the Web, Nechmand added.
In addition to traditional metrics like page views, Studio Web also measures social Web activities by looking at a site's use of Flash, and the user comments, ratings, video plays, AJAX, Silverlight and shared links. Studio Web also tracks site activity and user engagement at the user level so companies can build profiles or interest maps for each user -- like who is posting comments or sharing recommendations with friends.
Nuconomy Studio Web also includes a two-way API that lets site operators to change sites based on current metric and insights, including the ability to show ads or push specific content to a user based on his interests.
This story, "Popular free Web analytics service is opened to all" was originally published by Computerworld.

Feb 5, 2013 - The Associated PressIf approved, the measures likely would take years to complete.
CHEYENNE -- Wyoming's consumer watchdog agency has approved environmental controls for the state's biggest coal power plants -- and that could mean higher electricity rates for customers.
The Office of Consumer Advocate has backed a PacifiCorp proposal to install controls on two of its four power units at the Jim Bridger Power Plant.
The upgrades are needed to comply with emissions standards proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Bryce Freeman, the agency's administrator, said the proposal will raise rates but it's not known by how much.
"If these plants are going to continue to run, they have to make the upgrades," he said. "There's no way around it."
Rocky Mountain Power, a PacifiCorp subsidiary, had proposed new controls for units 3 and 4 of the Bridger plant in August. The two generators can produce about 1,050 megawatts of power.
Rocky Mountain Power serves 136,000 customers in Wyoming.
Dave Eskelsen, a company spokesman, declined to disclose the project's estimated cost. The state Public Service Commission has granted confidential status to documents on the project submitted by the company.
The commission will hold a hearing on the project March 26-28. If approved, the controls likely would take years to complete.
The Jim Bridger Power Plant is located near the PacifiCorp-owned Jim Bridger coal mine, which produces about 6 million tons of coal for the plant each year. Another 3 million tons are imported from other Wyoming coal mines.

Readsboro VT Cemeteries
There are four cemeteries currently in use in Readsboro
North Hill Cemetery
The first cemetery was established in 1798 on farm land donated by Caleb Bailey on North Hill, now known as Potter Hill Road. This is the smallest of the Readsboro cemeteries. Simon Von Meyers, a Hessian soldier fighting with Baum, was buried there in 1846. He was taken prisoner in Bennington and when released came to Readsboro. He settled on the land where the King farm is know located, on King Hill Road. The Readsboro American Legion places a flag at his gravesite each year.
Village Cemetery
In 1800 the current Village Cemetery was established on what was called the Beach Lot. It was first known as the Readsboro City Cemetery, according to the old town maps. The Village Cemetery is the largest of the towns Cemeteries. A child named Cochran was the first registered death in Readsboro in 1786, and because there was not yet a Cemetery in the Village the child was buried between two large boulders near where the upper Cemetery gate is currently is located. In August 1999 farmland was purchased from the former Carpenter farm. This land was purchased from the James Sprague family, as an addition to the Village Cemetery. It is not yet developed for gravesites, because the current Cemetery has quite a number of lots available for sale.
Heartwellville Cemetery
In 1819 the Heartwellville Cemetery (formally Hartwellville) on Route 100 was built on land donated by Captain Joseph Hartwell, a Civil war veteran. In doing research we have not yet found out why the hamlet of Hartwell was changed to Heartwellville. (clerical error???) It is a beautiful Cemetery.
South Hill Cemetery
In 1827 the South Hill Cemetery was established. The South Hill Cemetery was laid out on the John Hicks property. Captain Henry Holbrook, William Sanford, and Joy Bishop helped to clear the Hick's land of stumps, brush, and roots. These were used around the edge of the cemetery to establish a fence. (Good old Yankee thrift!!)
Recent Cemetery projects
The bank at the South Cemetery was badly eroded by the changing course of the river. It was quite apparent that if repairs were not made, current graves would be impacted. The planning for the project required the involvement of environmental protection and the Army Corps of engineers. The Project was put out for bid. Eiler Bros. was the successful bidder and the project was completed in 1999. The cemetery Commission is happy to report that no damage occurred during hurricane Irene.
We also had a challenge with the steep part of the bank at the Village Cemetery. The bank was becoming severely eroded. This project was planned and put out for bid. The bid was awarded to Barkus Construction. The Cemetery Commission was also very pleased with this work as no further erosion occurred during Irene.
Thanks for the great support from the Readsboro tax payers. The Cemetery commission has been working on a four-year project repairing old broken gravestones. This requires epoxy repairs to broken stones, new foundations in some cases, stone cleaning, groundwork, and re-seeding. Over 250 gravestones have been completed as of April 2013. This project is being completed by Sexton Tom Maroni, and Joel Hicks.
Help the Cemetery Commission solve the mystery of Captain Jack!
Tucked away in a corner of the Readsboro Village Cemetery where two moss covered stonewalls converge is a small, solitary grave-marker engraved with the words "Captain Jack". Beneath a carved shield is the date 1867. Despite extensive research by several people who have written volumes about volunteers in the Civil War we are still without a clue who he was. The Readsboro American Legion members have been placing an American flag at this site for many years. The American Legion and the Cemetery Commission are hoping some one in the area knows of an ancestor who was called Captain Jack. Please get in touch if you have any clues. Thanks!

The actor is doing fine and is expected to make full recovery from his broken leg after being struck by a car in Los Angeles over the weekend.
A representative for actor Shemar Moore confirms to E! News that the "Criminal Minds" star is recovering from broken leg which he suffered after being hit by a car over the weekend. The representative states Moore is "doing well, considering, and is resting comfortably at home after a brief hospital sojourn."
Moore was bike riding in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 1 when he was suddenly struck by a car. Following the accident, he was taken to an L.A.-area hospital where he was treated for his broken leg and was released soon thereafter.
No word if Moore is planning to seek legal action against the car's driver, whose identity was not made public.
Shemar Moore is best known for starring as Malcolm Winters on CBS' "The Young and the Restless". It was the character that won him Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Daytime Emmy Award in 2000. The fifth season of his latest TV project "Criminal Minds", in the meantime, will be kicked off in September.

"The deposits are there, but whether (Gecamines) can raise $1.5-billion remains to be seen," said Bolade Olu-Adeyanju, metals analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
"Financing is the biggest impediment to Gecamines. Foreign investors are wary of the high political risk in Congo."
Industry sources had spoken of a potential sale of a stake in Deziwa to trader and veteran Congo investor Glencore, which owns the nearby Mutanda operation. But that now looks unlikely, given Gecamines' demand to keep a majority stake and its stated desire to use Deziwa as a test for its new partnership strategy.
"We can envisage several possibilities, but where we go into partnership, it is clear that we want to be majority owners," says Kalej Nkand, speaking behind copper doors in his corner office on the fifth floor of Gecamines' headquarters in the region's mining hub of Lubumbashi.
A NATION'S COPPER BACKBONE At its peak, Gecamines was almost a state within a state. It directly employed more than 30,000 people and ran schools, hospitals, flour mills and vast swathes of arable land, much of which it still maintains, further draining its stretched finances.
Its roots are in the mining company set up at the turn of the last century by statesman Cecil Rhodes and Belgian King Leopold II, which later became Union Miniere du Haut Katanga, and then Gecamines.
In the boom, Gecamines accounted for about 7 per cent of global copper production and more than 60 per cent of cobalt.
But tumbling copper prices in the 1980s took its toll, as did the compounded effect of the Mobutu government's system of patronage, which pillaged the company over decades.
The group hit a low point with the collapse of the central portion of the Kamoto underground mine in 1990 after years of underinvestment. At the time, Kamoto's cobalt was Gecamines' most profitable export.
Added to that, ethnic unrest in the 1990s drove out many of the workers from neighboring Kasai that staffed Gecamines' mines and offices. Like the country crumbling around it, Gecamines hit a nadir from which it is still recovering.
And yet a short distance from the Kambove plant, there are undeniable signs of Gecamines' investment drive. South African contractors are overseeing the construction of a new processing plant that will boost the operational hub's capacity to digest towering stockpiles of rich ore from the nearby Kamfundwa mine.
At Congo's border with Zambia, to the south, some 100 excavators and other machines were clearing customs.
But Kambove – like other parts of an empire that was once at technology's cutting edge – is testament to the challenge ahead for Gecamines' bosses.
"The concentrator has a capacity of 4,000 tonnes (of ore) ... but we struggle to make 3,000 tonnes. We have a lot of power cuts and limits on production, so sometimes it is closer to 2,000 tonnes," says Louis Okuka, Kambove's veteran director, wearing a blue hardhat and a weary expression.
"Back in 1961, the plant was all automated."
Down the road towards the town of Likasi, the Shituru copper refinery is another rusting behemoth dating back to 1929, operating at roughly 10 or 20 per cent of its nameplate capacity.
Its nerve centre – far removed from the flat-screen computers of modern automated operations rooms – boasts two chalk boards and technology reminiscent of a 1950s science fiction show. Workers in the nearby offices sit in front of plastic-covered computers amid mountains of lever-arch files.
"Since 1929, generations have passed through here – not just of men, but of equipment. Iron in this climate, when it has worked 40 or 50 years, has outlived its useful life," says Joel Tshinyama Pau, director of the Shituru operation, who says progressive investment can revive the plant.
Yet many still question whether Congo's politicians and business leaders are really prepared to develop the assets.
Albert Yuma, the head of the Gecamines board, is close to Congolese president Joseph Kabila and has faced questions over secret asset sales to another Kabila associate, Israeli businessman Dan Gertler.
Despite falling foul of the IMF for the company's failure to meet transparency requirements, Yuma has launched stinging attacks on Congo's poor business climate in his role as head of the country's business federation and has publicly championed the Gecamines re-launch.
A return to former glory will be a grueling slog and won't be popular with everyone. Recent skirmishes with artisanal miners working illegally on Gecamines concessions have left new diggers with smashed windows and flat tires.
But a rebirth would also be a boost to national pride and, particularly, the pride of the copper producing region of Katanga that it once sustained.
"We can't accept to see Gecamines disappear," said B.H. Ntambwe Ngoy, head of Gecamines' central operations.
"We have Gecamines in the blood."

At a woodyard above us we saw a White Pelican that had been captured there, and which, had it been clean, I should have bought.
If the good people are not to die of cold, they have no alternative but to come to my woodyard.
Nothing is so good for muskmelons as old chips from the woodyard.
Half a score of men were loafing about the woodyard on shore.
And, in these circumstances, I cannot see why protection should not visit my woodyard as well as your workshop.
I stepped along and found myself in the woodyard among piles of wood, saws, sawbucks, and sawdust.
From there we were driven to the woodyard, where we were made to saw wood for two hours.
Old Mr. Bergen himself spent much of his time at Hamilton, where he had a woodyard with a couple of rooms attached to it.
This reputation led to an impromptu prize fight, which was "pulled off" at a woodyard near Hastings, Minnesota.
Hugh soon found that the work was far more interesting than it had been in the woodyard.

Volume 10, Issue 1: Sharpening Iron
Just as we were going to the printer, I noticed that this issue begins the tenth year of Credenda's existence. With foaming zeal, I ran into the edtior's office to bestow my enlightenment upon him, asking if he wanted to party or set something on fire. He stared blankly at me. "Huh?" But he doesn't do that with important anniversaries. Now about the cover. Let us explain. Yes, it's supposed to be cheap and goofy. It's pure, modern evangelical. That's the point. Take a look at both the front and the back images and compare them. The front is supposed to remind you of the pervasive and frightening "Precious Moments" kitsch, a devolution from more ecclesiastical, less consumerist handling of Scripture pictured on the back�the theme of this issue. So if we get any letters on this, it isn't our fault.
Dear Editors,
Douglas Wilson should leave the philosophical analysis of sports to Mr. Jones. It seems quite obvious that baseball has more qualities than the PPR's to inculcate the virtues of patience, humility and persistence. The lonely and embarrassing walk back to the dugout after striking out is one example among many which the other major sports just can't duplicate.
In jest,
Mark Adair
Douglas Wilson replies:
. . . except for the field goal kicker who just shanked one.
Dear Editors,
Can't y'all work any harder and faster? I want another issue! I'm going through withdrawal since I can't get enough of my intellectual drug from Moscow. Hurry. Feed me. Save me. I'm wilting away for lack of Credenda. Send my next issue FEDEX SAME DAY.
Gasping for more,
Mike Chastain
Dear Editors,
What timing! Your Beowulf issue came out just as my Brit. Lit. honors students and I were beginning to delve into it. Thanks for a great issue that got us all talking.
Traci Powers
English teacher
Lakewood, Colorado
Dear Editors,
Here's a quote you could have used for your Credenda/Agenda issue, The Legacy of Beowulf: Poetry and the Anglo-Saxon Mind: "How I regret now that I did not read more poets and historians, and that no one taught me them!" Martin Luther, "To the Councilmen of All Cities in Germany That They Establish Christian Schools," written in 1524.
Gary Hotham
Cheltenham, England
Dear Editors,
I was going to include some smart-aleck comment about how I don't give a crap about Beowolf (or however it's spelled) and that three-fourths of your magazine is irrelevant and uninteresting to most Christians, blah, blah, blah. . . But in fact I keep sending you money which says something doesn't it?
Dan Hartzler
Somewhere, U.S.A.
Editors' reply:
If you were more poetic, you wouldn't have to resort to potty talk.
Dear Editors,
Douglas Jones's consternation over his deficiency in church picnic coordination ability appears to have impacted his typically sound reasoning skills. His "Romantic Conspiracies" (Anvil, vol. 9, no. 4) was disappointing.
Jeff Shafer
Dear Editors,
Thanks for your magazine! I had a number of issues waiting for me when I returned from home service in the USA and have spent many very enjoyable hours getting caught up. But one article has prompted me to write in critique.
Lawrence Spalink
Saitama-ken, Japan
Dear Editors,
Forty-five years have passed since my baptism at age 12. I am, however, just recently taking a serious interest in my salvation through Jesus Christ and am now in a near state of panic as I try to determine who has it right within the Christian community. I thought I had at least one thing down, which is (was) my conviction that the AV was the Bible to use, having always rejected out-of-hand the more "recent," trendy versions. Unfortunately, in your article A Church Bible, you have burst that single bubble of mine: Since the "recent" translations are garbage, and if Glassy-Eyed King James defenders should be repudiated, then what Bible do you suggest? I suspect that something in your piece has slipped by me. . . .
David Simmons
Dublin, CA
Editors' reply:
We approve of the AV (see this issue). We have a harder time approving of all its defenders.
Dear Editors,
I enjoyed "A Church Bible" by Douglas Wilson and heartily applaud its general thrust. However, I am perplexed by the assertion that "the portion of the Church involved with the recovery of the Bible should repudiate, in the strongest possible terms, the Glassy-Eyed Defenders of the King James Version, who are very popular in fundamentalist circles. Such know-nothingism has been one of the principle reasons why the Bible-mongers have been able to get away with rejecting the ecclesiastical text without any serious argument." I fail to see how the "Defenders" beliefs have been one of the "principle" reasons for the rejection of an ecclesiastical text occurring without serious opposition. They are, for the most part, ignored by the sleepy evangelical world, or simply viewed as a curiosity. . . . If we are honest, it seems more plausible that we must point the finger at ourselves, to us of the Reformed ilk, as one of the "principle" reasons for the continued rejection of the ecclesiastical text, since we have not vigorously opposed the tragic handling of the Biblical text. . . .
Nathan Hoeldtke
Aiea, HI
Dear Editors,
I was shocked, appalled, and distressed (OK, my feelings were hurt) when I opened up my last issue and discovered the results of a survey of readers in which I was not included.
Getting over it,
Beverly D. Brown
Austin, TX
Dear Editors,
My husband is a faithful reader of your magazine, but I have never seen much use in wasting my time with it until today. We were having our morning devotional together, and my husband used your poetry issue not once, not twice, but three times thus opening my eyes to the usefulness of your material! Within ten minutes he used it to swat two mosquitoes and one cricket. After pointing out to him my "revelation" he at least agreed that it was the best use for poetry he had ever witnessed.
Carole Sherrod
Caldwell, TX
Dear Editors,
. . . . I must weigh in with my agreement on the side of that esteemed student of culture and ethics�Bubba Jones. His argumentation on the moral and aesthetic superiority of baseball seems airtight and historically precise to me. (Now my appetite is whetted to see the eight arguments and six counterarguments). However, I think he failed to note some of the obvious reasons why any well-meaning, Reformed, astute observer would also love the fabled sport.
Carl Robbins
Las Vegas, NV
Dear Editors,
I was thinking that it's about time I got another Credenda. At first I thought I was the victim of a computer mailout glitch, but then I found my husband had hidden away "Beowulf." Maybe he thought it was too manly for me! I also found your plea for money, so I thought its about time we contributed for a couple of hours of real entertainment in every issue. I don't know if anyone else praises articles such as "Lawn Leeches" by Doug Jones, but I thoroughly enjoy his bizarre . . . humor? Looking forward to my next issue,
Vicki Tuggy
Tustin, CA
Dear Editors,
In the editorial on "The Break-up of the United States," the following appeared: "But it must be remembered that an economic crash does not destroy wealth; it simply rearranges wealth on a massive scale." I beg to differ.
Gary North
Dear Editors,
Thank you for the entertaining and informative paper. You have even managed to make Still Water's Revival Book catalogue an entertaining periodical. Reading Barrow, describing his own writings in glowing terms, I just can't lay it down.

My favorite Christmas movie has always been Miracle on 34th Street with its message about faith. I still get teary at the sight of the cane at the end.
Mostly December kit "ingredients" here, along with some Timmy film and a bit of bling from my stash. The cardboard circle was covered with light molding paste and then colored with the help of an Art Stencil mask and Teal Silks paint.
And the cane... Well, I figured out a way to use my Project Kit with no copyright worries. Behold my first DIY resin piece, fashioned with the help of a candy cane and brown acrylic paint.

ALVA, Okla. - Director of Athletics, Andy Carter, has announced women's basketball coach Stephanie Shaw has resigned her post effectively immediately after one season at the helm of the Lady Rangers.
"To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. However, change is the one constant in this industry," Carter said. "We will deal with this in a positive manner and continue to move forward toward our goal of building a championship caliber women's basketball program"
Shaw went 13-15 during her tenure and led the Lady Rangers to the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament. Northwestern fell 87-57 to No. 4 Lubbock Christian in the quarterfinal round.
During the 2011-12 season, two Lady Rangers, Autumn Klugh and Audrey Richmond, reached the 1000-point plateau for their careers.
Shaw also coached Richmond, Klugh and LaParis Newsom to all-conference seasons.
"By all measures, Stephanie did a very good job," Carter said. "We wish her well."
Carter will begin a national search for the next Lady Ranger coach immediately.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

San Leon Energy (LON:SLE) has unveiled a deal which would see it acquire just less than 10% of a producing oil field in Nigeria.
It is helping Midwestern Oil and Gas, an indigenous Nigerian oil company, raise US$180mln of financing to acquire Toronto listed Mart Resources (CVE:MMT) and continue the ongoing development of the OML 18 block.
The AIM quoted company says it has already provided proof it can provide more than US$100mln of the total financing and it is in advanced discussions to raise the balance.
Once Midwestern's acquisition of Mart is complete, and once Midwestern has completed a restructuring, San Leon will have a 9.72% indirect interest in the OML 18 asset.
San Leon will also have the right to provide oil field services, such as workover and drill rigs, to the operator of OML 18.
Oisin Fanning, San Leon executive chairman, said: "the company has been able to achieve a deal that capitalises on the current low oil price environment and buy into production with significant yet low risk upside and attractive hedges already in place.
He also described it as a large step towards San Leon becoming a dividend-paying company.
"The proposed transaction will provide San Leon with substantial production and cash flow not only from both production but also from service provision in a world-class asset, and is also expected to provide a platform for further transactions."
OML 18 had gross production of 31,600 barrels oil per day (in September 2015) and a programme is underway to ramp up output.
San Leon highlighted that the arrangements would not be dilutive to its shareholders. The transactions are expected to close in March 2016.
The company's AIM shares have been suspended as of 15:00 today.
Midwestern is paying C$0.25 per share to acquire Mart, which is a 194% premium to its closing price yesterday in Toronto.

The living room features a projection television system with a retractable ceiling-mounted screen. The dining room seats 16, and the conference room seats 14. The huge solid wood table in the conference room was built on site and will always remain a part of the house.
|The master bedroom has its own private kitchen, a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the river.
The Gaming Room has as its focal point a magnificent reverse painted
glass skylight above the poker table.
The most unique feature of the house is the "Cave." This hidden passageway takes the visitor from the lower level to the main floor and is accessed by way of a very secret, unusual doorway. Immediately upon entering the cave, visitors notice a wooden door leading to the wine cellar. The cellar boasts an authentic moonshine still as the focal point.
The pathway through the cave winds approximately 100 feet past small waterfalls and pools with stalactites and stalagmites, ever upwards to a rough oak door, which opens into the swimming pool room, complete with a 10' waterfall. A full wall mural in the pool room depicts popular scenes from Germany.
Downstairs Family Room
Mr. Brown's wish was that his collection be displayed in his home rather than in a "warehouse" type of setting. As a result, patrons visiting the museum see not only the fascinating music machines, but have the opportunity to experience a most unusual house as well.
Bayernhof is open to the public year round by appointment to groups of no more than twelve.
In keeping with the museums mission statement, "Education through Preservation, Preservation through Education," we welcome not only individuals but also historic preservation groups, college groups, architectural societies, musical societies or others who will enjoy seeing this fine home and collection of antique automatic musical instruments. Children must be 12 or older. Admission is $10.
