Celebrity fails to live up to their corporate promise: Celebrity Century Cruise Review by SueBee0
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity fails to live up to their corporate promise
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Have you ever savored the vision and taste of a delicacy, like a special dessert, only to take a bite and find out the cook accidentally used a rotten egg in the recipe? That is the memory I will always have of this, my 5th cruise on Celebrity. Oh yes, the cruise looked fantastic, nice renovated ship, wonderful itinerary, favorable discounted price, friendly staff, but the "rotten egg" taste of how the senior officers and executive management handled the cancellation of this cruise after only 28 hours borders on an exercise in "how not to win friends and negatively influence people".
After the notice of cancellation due to damaged rudders, I was able to contact my travel agent for help, and his initial reaction was that this event was 100% the responsibility of Celebrity, and he advised to sit tight until they offered their help. I soon learned that no help was coming. The senior officers of the ship disappeared and were not More seen again, no updates, etc. and only the lower level staff, like dancers, and retail clerks were left to handle the irate passengers. Their mantra was "have patience" and everything will work out. But you could tell they were marching to the orders of the Miami headquarters executives and attorneys, to offload the guests at minimal cost. Then get the ship to Marseille as quickly as possible, so the rudders can be repaired and no more money will be lost by not having to cancel the next trans-Atlantic cruise scheduled to leave Barcelona to Miami on Oct. 25th.
They refused to assist in changing airline reservations if you didn't purchase your air through Celebrity. The only "option" offered was to be put on a bus for 10 hours back to Barcelona, and to pay for one night in a hotel, but we needed 9 nights to use our existing return reservation on Oct. 25th. You would think that they could at least given guests a list of hotels with phone numbers that they recommend in Barcelona, and use their corporate discount to obtain favorable room rates. Although Celebrity said they would pay the $250p/p change fee for our tickets, they initially said they would not pay for the increase in airfare charge of $736p/p/. Also, since Continental Airlines was sold out of seats on Sat.-Mon., we still had to pay for two extra nights in a hotel and meals, until we could take our return flight on Tues., and Celebrity said they were not responsible for these costs. They didn't even offer one free drink at any of their bars on board, and did not provide for water on the bus ride-the driver was selling water for 1 Euro a bottle! The person on the dock at Nice who was supposed to know what hotel they had made a reservation at for you, had 10 pages of staterooms numbers, but also was writing in the margins names of people like me who had no reservations. We boarded the bus thinking we would be staying at some hotel near the airport (supposedly they said for convenience of getting your return flight) but then we were dropped off at the Melia ME Hotel, about 2 miles east of central Barcelona, and about 20 miles west of the airport. The real disappointment came with the meager 25% future cruise discount, not based on the price of the future cruise, but on the deeply discounted price that most guests paid for this cruise. So, a voucher for about $250 was sent out, but for a cruise next year that matches the itinerary of this cruise (except for one port replacing Split, Croatia), the price in 2011 is over $2000p/p.
They apparently had no "disaster recovery plan" on how to help passengers get back home, and being dumped in France, where labor strikes were blocking the ports and the trains were not running, was not my idea of "exceeding my cruising expectations". Since this event, the Carnival Splendor suffered an engine room fire that disabled the ship and the cruise had to be cancelled. The President and CEO of Carnival publicly apologized and said they would do everything possible to assist their guests, including full refunds for cruise and air, and a FREE future cruise up to the amount that was paid for this cruise. He even met the ship as it was towed back into San Diego harbor to welcome the passengers back. Now that far exceeds what Celebrity did for us. These are things you need to consider the next time you choose a cruise line to trust with your time and money, I know I will. Less

From: Elizabeth Girardeau <>
Subject: [SCSUMTER] Brown Family
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 09:25:13 -0500
Pam had a request on Jan 7 about the Brown family. I did research in 1998
on this family & would like to invite corrections / comments on the following:
In a sworn statement in 1916, Mattie M. Brunson of Florence, South
Carolina, said "Peter A. Brunson, born March 4, 1817, died January 20,
1907, was my grandfather. He told us, his grandchildren, that his great
grandfather, William Brown, whom he called Grand-sir Brown, was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War and that he belonged to Marion's Brigade; also
that he often visited his grandson, Matthew Brunson, father of Peter A.,
who lived near Darlington, S. C. That he, Peter A. Brunson, my
grandfather, remembered him well and also remembered hearing him relate his
experience in the war. He was a kind old gentleman, fond of children, and
was greatly loved by his great grandchildren whom he visited at Christmas.
William Brown had a son Loami, who also served in the Revolutionary War."
For someone born in 1817 to remember his great grandfather, it
would mean that William Brown lived to be quite elderly. This is backed up
by the fact that there is a William Brown, Sr. listed in the 1830 census of
Sumter County. It is marked that he is age 80-90.
Matthew Brunson was the son of Ann Brown and Matthew Brunson. He
had a brother, William Brunson. Since these children were born in 1779 and
1781, we can assume that Ann Brown was born around 1760, making a birthdate
of around 1740 possible for her father. Ann's brother, Loami Brown, using
census records,was born between 1755-1765.
William Brown, Sr. was the son of Jeremiah Brown of Camden
District, South Carolina. The administration of the estate of Jeremiah
Brown on 3 Sept. 1782, names Elizabeth Brown as his widow and William
Brown as his eldest son. (Apartment 11, Package 341; Camden District;
Archives of SC).
Jeremiah Brown was in South Carolina at least by 1772, coming
from Brunswick County, Virginia. This writer has not been able to prove
when William Brown came to South Carolina because there were many men named
William Brown. We can only assume that most of the family was in SC by
1772 or before.
Perhaps William Brown had children, Ann and Loami, by one wife
and then married again for he is listed in the 1790 census as William
Brown, Sr.,with 3 males under 16 and 6 females. He is listed with 16 slaves.
In 1800, there is a William Brown listed with 13 slaves. He is
marked as over 45 with a male age 16-25 in the household. This could be a
mistake, that there are no females listed, or it could be that William
Brown's wife died and he married again, to a widow with children, for in
the 1820 census, William Brown, Sr. is listed: 1 male over 45; 1 female
over 45; 1 female 10-15 and 1 female 16-25.
The 1830 census record for William Brown, Sr., has him marked as
age 80-90. Perhaps someone else can explain the listings in his household:
1 male 10-15; 1 male 20-30; 1 f 5-10; 1 f 20-30; 2 f 30-40; and 1 f 60-70.
He is marked with 2 slaves.
The following children are presented as children of William Brown:
1. ANN (or NANCY) BROWN married first, Matthew Brunson
(c1755-1781) ;married 2nd, Membrance Williams. The appraisment of
Matthew Brown's Estate was signed by Jeremiah Brown
(Ann's grandfather), William Brown (Ann's father) and Burrell Brown
(Ann's Uncle).Williams family records state:"Absolum Williams, my
granduncle, married Mary Brown and Membrance Williams married

2. LOAMI BROWN Said by Mattie Brunson to be a son. Found in
Claremont (Sumter) in 1790 with
1-1-3 and 3 slaves as Laomy Brown. In 1800 Lami Brown is in
Darlington with 1 M 16-26; 1 M 26-45 and 4 slaves. Still in
Darlington in 1810, Loami Brown is listed by himself as over 45 and 8 slaves.
Loami Brown married a widow with children or had a daughter move
back home in 1820. He is listed in Darlington as over 45 with the
following in his household: 2 m 1-9; 2 m 10-16; 1 f 10-16; 3 f 16-26;
and 1 f 26-45. He is not found in the 1830 SC census. (Family
history of Kathy Wilson states that Loami
Brown left S.C. and settled in Barbar Co., Alabama. Kathy also
quoted the "150th Anniversary Dooly County, Georgia" book, page 11:
Revolutionary Soldier Loami Brown came with his brother,
Robert Brown, from South Carolina to Georgia. Loami never married
and is buried in the family cemetery.)
3. ROBERT BROWN. Sumter CC-509 called "lovely son of William
Brown, Sr." Robert is one of the males who is under 16 in the 1790

and Mary, 1774-1784; they had 2 males under 10 and
1 female under 10; 7 slaves. In 1818, Sumter Deed FF,11, Absolum
Williams and his wife Mary sell property on McGirts Branch of Black

Rejuvenate Your Hair Line with Koher Medical
Just because your father, and his father, and his father before that suffered from male pattern baldness doesn't mean that you have to as well. Over 35 million men are affected by hair loss in the United States alone, and the condition is typically inherited and related to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Determining what side of your family is responsible for your hair loss can be tricky as well, as it can come from your mother's or father's side and can go back up to three generations.
However, all is not lost if you are a man experiencing hair loss, because Koher Medical has expert hair restoration surgeons, a knowledgeable surgical staff, and a wide range of treatments (both surgical and non-surgical) to combat your thinning hair. If you're a man suffering from hair loss and want to get back to looking your best, the following techniques are available and expertly practiced at Koher Medical:
- Hair Transplantation. A hair transplant is a procedure that moves hair from the back and sides of the head and moves it to the thinning areas of the scalp. It's been shown to be the most effective treatment for hair loss in both women and men, and the surgeons of Koher Medical are particularly experienced with this procedure. With over 25 years of experience and over 15000 patients treated, it's sure to be a strong option for helping your hair loss at Koher Medical.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (Neograft) This is a method of hair transplantation that utilizes an FUE Machine to extract follicles one by one from the patient's scalp. The benefits of this treatment are typically minimal scarring when compared to the strip procedure (which also leaves very little scarring) and can be less invasive for some patients. Koher Medical currently uses Neograft as its machine of choice.
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and ACell technology. This refers to a series of injections that can restore hair loss in both men and women. PRP is a solution that comes from using the healing plasma of your own blood, while ACell refers to proteins that are used to strengthen compromised or weakened hair follicles. Treatments will need to be scheduled a few times a year, but results have been very promising.
- Low-level Laser Therapy. The use of Near Infrared Light (NIR) on the scalp to promote hair growth and help the healing processes of skin. Therapeutic light pulses help stimulate follicles for stronger and healthier hair, and can aid in reducing inflammation and healing wounds, tissue, and nerves. Portable laser devices are now available for use in the comfort of your home, such as the Theradome Laser Helmet.
- Minoxidil. Also known as Rogaine, this is a topical solution that can assist both men and women with hair regrowth. Minoxidil, however, doesn't just add hair — it has been shown to reverse the effects of hereditary hair loss, as it thickens and strengthens hair follicles when used on a consistent basis. It's often combined with other treatments to maximize effectiveness.
Excellence in the Art of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a hair restoration surgery that works by moving hair from the back and sides of your head to the thinning or balding areas on the top of your scalp. Dr. Koher and the surgeons of Koher Medical are particularly experienced with this procedure, having over 35 years of experience and having performed over 15,000 hair transplants nationally and internationally.
If you're looking for a permanent solution to your hair loss, you can trust the surgeons and staff of Koher Medical to deliver a world class experience and state of the art cosmetic results. No matter what your hair loss situation, Koher Medical is ready and willing to offer our expertise and years of experience.
Are you ready to get the full head of hair you've always wanted? Contact us today at 888-516-2850 to schedule your free consultation.

SOUTH PASADENA - From the back seat of his parents' family sedan, 13-year-old Raymond Gilmartin began to question the SUVs he saw driving past.
How were they improving their gas mileage and could they do it better?
The South Pasadena Middle School student turned his curiosity into a scientific research question and the end result garnered him the sweepstakes prize - over 687 other junior division participants - at the Los Angeles County Science Fair.
"I saw a lot of SUVs driving around and I saw some of them had rear spoilers," Gilmartin said. "I'd seen them on racecars ... but I did not see a reason why a normal car would have one."
Gilmartin's project, titled "Spare the Environment, Spoiler the Car," sought to determine the optimum size and angle of rear spoilers for the most efficient SUV gas mileage.
He built his own wind tunnel out of cardboard and spent more than 50 hours testing his theory. Spoilers also run the risk of decreasing safety, a factor called "lift" Gilmartin also had to investigate.
Gilmartin's science teacher, Kathleen Bellinghiere, said his award and others received by SPMS students this year partially reflects on the school's science department.
"As a school it's fantastic to be able to show that our science department here is really thriving," she said.
L.A. County Science Fair President Dean Gilbert said Gilmartin not only developed the idea for his project, but also demonstrated immense knowledge about the scientific facts.
"Every year maybe two percent of the projects are genius level, and Raymond's was," Gilbert said. "This is a middle school kid that is looking at significant mathematics and environmental impact. There's multiple sciences involved in this project."
Gilmartin said he became so involved in his project because of his great interest in the world's complex scientific processes.
"I like physics ... and I just found it all really interesting and I was dumbfounded that we know so little about how the world works," he said. "I'm pretty nerdy."
In the larger picture, Gilmartin said he hopes the results of his project can shed light on ways to reduce carbon emissions and work to stop global climate change.
"If carbon emissions keep going the way they are global temperatures are going to rise catastrophically," he said.
Gilmartin will move on to compete with five other South Pasadena Middle School students at the State Science Fair on April 30.

text: Today, the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) approved a settlement that allows Tennessee American Water to adjust rates in the company's Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, Lakeview, Suck Creek and Lone Oak service areas, effective Nov. 1, 2012. Tennessee American Water's ongoing investments to maintain and enhance the pipes, pumps and hydrants needed to deliver reliable water service was the primary driver for the rate request. The settlement agreement covers approximately $25 million in local water infrastructure investments. "We believe this settlement strikes a fair and equitable balance between the interests of our customers and the company's need to recover costs associated with ongoing maintenance and enhancements of local water infrastructure," said Deron Allen, president of Tennessee American Water. "We commend all parties who worked very hard with us to resolve this case." The cost for water service remains less than a penny per gallon for residential and commercial customers served by Tennessee American Water. In Chattanooga, the monthly water bill for an average residential customer (4,153 gallons per month) will be around $21.58 per month. Many communities across the country are facing the challenges of aging water and wastewater infrastructure and associated rate increases. The United States EPA says the nation's water utilities will need to make more than $355 billion in infrastructure investments over the next 20 years to replace thousands of miles of pipe and for upgrades to treatment plants, storage tanks and other assets to ensure public health. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, Tennessee's (entire state) drinking water infrastructure needs an investment of $2.77 billion over the next 20 years. The settlement was agreed upon by Tennessee American Water, the Tennessee Attorney General, City of Chattanooga, Chattanooga Regional Manufacturers Association and other parties and approves an annual revenue increase of $5.2 million. The settlement agreement was filed with the TRA on October 1, 2012. The rate case was filed by Tennessee American Water on June 1, 2012.

Successfull treatment of Diabetes Mellitus with medication,still remains shrouded in mystery. The failure to control the spreading epidemic of D.M.,is rooted in the failure of the Medical society to recognize the value of H.D.L.

The study, Mortality and Other Important Diabetes-Related Outcomes With Insulin vs Other Antihyperglycemic Therapies in Type 2 Diabetes, investigated 84,622 primary care patients with type 2 diabetes from 2000 to 2010 and compared the results of different treatments. Those on insulin died at double the rate of those on oral hypoglycemic agents. Type II diabetics are not deficient in insulin; they are unable to use what they have. Adding more makes it worse. Insulin is a fat storage hormone. People on insulin can become very obese and die of heart and kidney failure while waiting at the bottom of the list for a transplant..

Optimal control of type2diabetes still lacking because of multifactors,but the most important reason after financial,I think,that a lot of pts don't believe in the secondary prevention. What about HDL,Dr.Dubrawsky mentioned above,simply to raise quantity of HDL is not enough,routine laboratory tests cannot to show quality of HDL,and also we still have only widely used statins,possibly rosuvastatin and pitavastatin,drugs rasing HDL,but this raising does not impact plague and end points..

If you support that we might have been grossly misled to think that a low fat diet is beneficial, and that the best preventive medicine is to avoid all refined and easily digestible carbohydrate rich foods, then also read "CARBS - Carbohydrate Addiction Recovery Battalion System". This book provides the spiritual, recovery and organizational methods of Alcoholics Anonymous to help those who must abstain from easily digestible carbohydrate rich foods. Remember contempt prior to investigation will leave a person in everlasting ignorance..
There is no good evidence that lowering Hgb A1c to below 7 confers any protection against macrovascular complications of diabetes (studies show optimal level in low 7s with increased complications as A1c goes up or down) and new studies have given thought to raising the blood pressure limit in diabetics to 140/90.

Hi Jennifer and Alistair.
Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed our visit to La Brangerie. We all thought that the gite was lovely and very well equipped and the pool was great too. The children had a great time. Thank you also for the lovely tomatoes!!
Everything you could possibly want for a relaxing holiday, clean, tidy, peaceful, great for families, nice owners, safe pool area, plenty of things for kids to do in a beautiful garden. We will be returning. Thanks to owners J and A.
Clean, tidy, beautiful location, owners were very friendly and helpful, overall amazing holiday - would highly recommend.
Hi Alister & Jenny
we are looking Forwards to coming back to la grange this summer
we had a fantastic time last year, the gardens were spectacular - so peaceful
The house was spotlessly clean and fully equipped - The garden Toys kept the kids amused for hours! Thanks - it gave the wife and I some quality time to enjoy a glass of wine or two!
i would highly recommend this property A+
Brian & Rebecca
Wonderful stay. The gite was very clean and tidy on arrival. Inside had everything we needed for a great holiday. The owners were geninuely friendly and made us feel very welcome. The grounds of the property were great for the kids. Excellent secluded location, quiet and tranquil, it was a much needed break for us. Would highly recommend this gite and we'd definitely return there again.
This is the fuill review including the segment excluded by the owner -
We really enjoyed our stay, and especially liked the outdoor
facilities - the pool, gardens and outside sitting/play/barbeque
and the rustic atmosphere of the property.
Just a few points by way of feedback:
The main surprise was only one toilet for 8 of us. We had supposed
that the shower rooms had wcs included. In fact your entry on the
holiday rentals website stated that there was a wc in the upstairs
shower room.
Some of the kitchen equipment was a bit tired looking, though it was
the end of the season.
Upstairs got very hot at times, and things could have been cleaner on
our arrival.
I was also part of this group and feel it only fair to include the full review as sent to the owner.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well equipped, beautifully presented gite. The pool was clean, deep and well surrounded behind a locked gate - our 7 year old could not reach the key, despite his best efforts. The owners have put so much love and care into the gardens and were on hand to recommend places to visit during a bout of unseasonal rainy weather. We loved playing table tennis and badminton in the glorious gardens. The village of Cussay has a hotel with a fine restaurant and a boulangerie which is cleaned out by 11am. Supermarkets an easy drive away. We came home refreshed and rested and felt we had sampled a real taste of France.

Nature in Finland 2012
by Tarmo Lampinen
About the Book
The biggest sensation of the year 2012 in Finnish nature was the mass immigration of Scarce Tortoiseshells. Normally this butterfly is extremely rare in Finland, but now there were lots of sightings. My first sighting of the species didn´t produce good pictures, so the next day, I was eager for another opportunity. I was photographing with a friend, and I showed her the place where I had spotted the butterfly a day earlier, and to my surprise, there it was again!
Unfortunately, the place was not good for photos, and getting closer without scaring the butterfly away was difficult. Suddenly, it took off and for a moment I thought we had lost it. However, it landed not too far away. The terrain between us and the butterfly was difficult, full of bushes and rocks, and we knew there were snakes around. However, neither of us hesitated when we rushed through the bushes and tried to locate the place where the butterfly disappeared.
Luck was on our side, and we spotted the butterfly sunbathing on a rock. We approached it as carefully as possible, and we were able to get right next to the butterfly without scaring it off. Our first photos of Scarce Tortoiseshells were a reality!
This book includes photos taken during this and my other favorite moments in the Finnish nature during 2012.

Tuesday I met with the president of Comite Central de la Comunidad Judia de Mexico, Oskar Gorodzinsky, and the organization's director, Mauricio Lulka. Gorodzinsky is a father of three who works in the family business and looks a little like Silvio Berlusconi. When I arrived he asked to keep the meeting to 45 minutes because he had another appointment. Then we talked for almost two hours.
What Gorodzinsky and Lulka told me was both enlightening and familiar. But first, some stats.
Between 40,000-50,000 Jews live in Mexico, representing about .04 percent of the population, but they are responsible for providing 15 percent of the jobs in the country. Three-quarters of Mexican Jews are employers.
Affiliation rates are also unbelievably high. Upwards of 90 percent of Jewish kids attend one of Mexico City's 16 Jewish schools, and no one is turned away because he or she can't pay. More than one third of families receive community assistance.
According to Gorodzinksy and Lulka, the cost of being Jewish in Mexico requires a net income of $4,000 a month — substantially more than most Mexicans take home and, it's worth noting, more than I do too. Were I living in Mexico I might be considered middle class by national standards, but poor by Jewish ones. Regardless, my kids would automatically get tuition and other help — not a bad deal.
Unsurprisingly, this commitment represents a massive cost burden that is getting ever harder to bear. Most American Jews started paying attention to the economic downturn only in the past year or two. In Mexico, the economic crisis is 20 years in the making.
So the community is attacking the problem at both ends — trying to reduce costs through efficiency measures and consolidation, and pumping up communal coffers.
Here's some video from the interview:

Big stars attending the 83rd Annual Academy Awards gala are dressed to impress - all eyes are on them as they walk the red carpet of the show on Sunday, February 27 in front of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. Mila Kunis is among those coming early to the biggest celebration in movie industry.
The "Black Swan" actress looks gorgeous in her lavender chiffon Elie Saab Haute Couture gown with draping layers intertwined with delicate lace. The 27-year-old movie beauty applies a smoky eye and a subtle pink lip, and finishes off her look with Neil Lane jewelry and a Bottega Veneta clutch.
Anne Hathaway is all smiles when gracing the red carpet in her strapless bright-red Valentino gown. There will be more costume changes for her - she is going to host the event with James Franco and will make at least five outfit changes throughout the night.
Natalie Portman is a proud mom. The "No Strings Attached" star shows off her baby bump in her off-shoulder mulbery/dark purple dress. The Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role nominee, thanks to her "Black Swan" role, holds hands with her fiance Benjamin Millepied.
Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson also arrive at the event in style. The former wears a nude and crystal encrusted Marchesa corset gown with organza and silk tulle ruffles, and the latter rocks a Dolce & Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin shoes. While Halle comes solo, Scarlett brings her CAA talent agent, Joe Machota, as her Oscar date.
Jennifer Lawrence wears a red Calvin Klein simple-cut collection dress made for her by designer Francisco Costa. She matches it with Jimmy Choo platform sandal, Chopard jewelry, and a Judith Leiber bag. Humbled with her Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role nomination, the "Winter's Bone" actress said, "As a newbie it's incredibly overwhelming and a proud moment."
Another star who turns people's head is Amy Adams. The 36-year-old star who is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in "The Fighter" is dressed in a deep-blue gown and impresses fans with her $1.35 million Cartier emerald and diamond jewelry. "I'm really nervous. I think I'm more present than before so I'm able to take it in," she said.
Hailee Steinfeld looks fabulous in her Marchesa dress. The 14-year-old star who is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in "True Grit" finishes off her dazzling look with Fred Leighton jewels, and a Ferragamo clutch and shoes.
Jennifer Hudson flaunts her post-baby slim figure in an orange Versace dress. She will later introduce live performance by A. R. Rahman and Florence Welch who are set to sing the "127 Hours" soundtrack "If I Rise". The other musical guests are Gwyneth Paltrow, Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore.

BHP share offer aids WMC bid
Resources Editor
Page Tools
BHP Billiton's $9.2 billion takeover bid for WMC Resources has finally achieved some traction, with the $7.85-a-share offer enjoying a sharp increase in the flow of acceptances.
But BHP's new position of 13.33 per cent, plus an economic interest in another 4.31 per cent through cash-settled derivative contracts, means it remains reliant on an avalanche of acceptances to move to a control position of more than 50 per cent by 7pm on Friday, when the offer closes.
WMC told shareholders at its annual meeting on Monday that a "big" avalanche was likely, given that the absence of a higher counter-bid from the likes of Rio Tinto meant the game was up for hedge funds controlling about 40 per cent of the company.
On that score, Rio passed up the opportunity yesterday to rule itself out as a counter-bidder for WMC before BHP's bid closes.
A spokesman from Rio's Melbourne office offered the group's standard response of "no comment" in response to questions about its designs or otherwise on WMC. The market is betting there will be no counter-bid, a situation reflected in WMC continuing to trade below BHP's bid price.
WMC shares closed steady yesterday at $7.79 a share, a 6 ¢ a share discount to BHP's bid price. Volume was 22.97 million shares or 1.95 per cent of WMC.
An encouraging sign for BHP in the flow of acceptances is that institutions unable to accept an offer until it has been declared unconditional are starting to make use of the Macquarie-managed "acceptance facility". That now has 6 per cent parked in it, ready to switch to BHP once the offer is declared unconditional. BHP has said it will declare on it reaching more than 50 per cent of WMC.
At that stage, the offer would be automatically extended for a further two weeks. Assuming no last-minute bid from Rio, analysts suspect BHP could get to the 50 per cent level by mid-afternoon on Friday.
But the full extent of BHP's holding is not expected to be known until about 8.30pm. But whether BHP's bid can achieve 90 per cent acceptance is unlikely to be known.
WMC surprised BHP with its comments on Monday that judging by an "unscientific" read of shareholders calling its takeover hotline, small retail shareholders holding about 10 per cent of WMC were unlikely to accept the offer on emotional grounds.
That raises the prospect that BHP's bid could fall short of the 90 per cent level needed for it to move to compulsory acquisition of the remainder. WMC would then remain listed as a subsidiary of BHP, assuming BHP gets at least 50 per cent.
WMC urged shareholders at the annual meeting to accept the BHP offer. WMC chairman Tommie Bergman said that while the recommendation was a difficult one to make given WMC's rich history and future prospects, BHP's bid was "as good as it is going to get, unless we get a higher offer come in this week, which is highly unlikely".

Harrison Ford goes extra innings for baseball role
Sponsored Links
LOS ANGELES -- Growing up in Chicago, Harrison Ford was always more of a Cubs fan than a Brooklyn Dodgers guy.
But after preparing for his role as baseball pioneer Branch Rickey, Ford found himself in a New York state of mind.
"The more research I did, the more impressed I was," says Ford, who stars in 42, the story of Dodgers general manager Rickey and Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947 (and wore the title number on his uniform).
The film, out April 12, stars Chadwick Boseman (The Express) as Robinson, who became close friends with Rickey after the general manager signed him to a minor league contract in 1945. Two years later, Robinson made his debut with the Dodgers, breaking an unwritten no-blacks rule followed by every major league team since the 1880s.
Ford says he was drawn to the role not by the story's legacy, but by its personalities.
"This isn't a history lesson," he says. "Or a Sunday school sermon. What interested me was their relationship. They had these indomitable spirits, but very disparate personalities."
Ford combed through press clippings and news footage of Rickey to prepare for the role, one of his few non-fiction characters.
"Anything I could find, I used," Ford says. "I discovered he did things too numerous to count."
His achievements included creating the framework for baseball's modern-day farm system and drafting one of the sport's first Hispanic superstars in Roberto Clemente.
"It's hard to remember the difficulty between the races" in baseball in the 1940s, Ford says. Robinson and Rickey shared "an ethical conviction. Their story demonstrates the best of American character."
Which can make for daunting prep work. Ford, 70, who is known better for fantasy characters such as Han Solo and Indiana Jones, concedes that he got more nervous the more he learned about the charismatic manager nicknamed "the Mahatma."
So he consulted Hollywood's recognized mahatma, Ben Kingsley, who won the best-actor Oscar for playing the title role in 1982's Gandhi.
"There are two ways to play" a historical figure, Ford says. "One way is to confine yourself to represent a real person in a narrow vein. The other is to use it as an opportunity."
Kingsley suggested the latter. "He said it's an opportunity to use the (real) man as a mask that tells the truth. That's what I wanted to do."

On Thursday, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) announced that its new shredded tofu Sofritas will be getting wider exposure.
Designed to cater to health-conscious and vegetarian diners, CMG believes that Sofritas may appeal to enough consumers to make it a successful crossover item. Starting next month, Sofritas will be available at all CMG restaurants in California, Restaurant News notes.
Sofritas is CMG's second try at developing a popular vegetarian menu item. It's previous effort — Garden Blend — proved unsuccessful and was later abandoned.
The restaurant chain began testing the new item, which combines tofu with spices, chipotle chiles and poblanos several months ago at select locations in San Francisco. Sofritas can be added to tacos, salads or burritos.
In March, the chain bowed to repeated requests from a food blogger to release a full list of the ingredients for all of its dishes.
Shares of CMG edged higher in Friday morning trading.

This is the absolute best round I have ever fired in my rifle. It had taken From coyote to javelina to bull elk with no problem. It is flawless round for my 30:06 Blaser . Just returned from annual Mexico whitetail hunt with 6 coyotes , 1 javelina a trophy 10 pointer and a superior 8 point management buck. Couldn't be more impressed with this round🐺🐺🐺
Received my ammo and went out to the range. Grouped less than one minute of angle out of my pre-64 Winchester in .264 Winchester magnum. Now that\'s impressive performance out of a fifty year old rifle! The recoil was less than shooting the Winchester 140 gr. Power Point loads. I wonder if this 130 gr. Accubond load would work as a good elk load??? I will probably have to wait until next year to test on elk as I didn\'t draw an elk tag this year. If anyone uses on elk or bear, please let me know how the Accubond performs. The bullet should perform great on deer, antelope, and probably work as well on bear. Elk and moose will be another story, but if the bullet holds together, they should work on elk/moose also.
WOW is all i have to say about these bullets. Real show stoppers on the elk at 378 yards. Bullet berformed flawlessly. Hit him hard and put him down before he even knew what happened. Same results with both my white tail and my sons white tail. Both where shot at over 200 yds and end or story for both. Not even 1 step taken. Took them to the range for a paper test and found them to be very consistantly loaded and holding .37" groups in both my rifle and my sons. They are alittle spendy for my taste but well worth the money spent after dropping remington and fedral products all together. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND U TRY THIS BULLET FOR YOURSELF. YOU WILL SEE THE QUALITY.
All the great things you would want out of a custom reloaded shell in a factory shell, plus if you do reload, you have quality brass.
Since the ammunition available for .264 Win. Mag. is highly restricted to one manufacture who at one time produced two size grains of bullets (100 & 140) but currently only 140 grains, it will be nice to have a diferent brand in 130 grains. The .264 Winchester Mag. is a great flat shooting, reach out and touch bullet that got a reputation for having bad recoil when it first became available and scared a bunch of girliemen from even trying. It is great for taking game such as mountain goats among others. As for the recoil, if you know how to hold a rifle when you fire there should be no problem. This would make a great sniper round for he military. Handloading up to 160 grains makes a nice shooting round also using the right bullets/powder. I'm looking forward to trying this new Nosler ammo out! Will report back when I have given it a proper workout hunting. Target was nice & tight for groups out to 100 yds as should be expected!

oO's recommendation
Inspired by the shape of a traditional lightbulb, the Bulb Cup can be used as a little curio stand, a jar, a glass or a tiny flower vase, according to the icons. Another brilliant and colorful japanese design, this time from Soshi Takita and Tetsu Sumii.
choberygu's recommendation
Cut from light bulbs, use it as a cup, a display, a dome for a tiny plant
Waverly's recommendation
this thin, fun glass seems so familiar. Wellâ¦itâs made from the same glass used for light bulbs. cut a bulb just so and voila!!..here is this fun little cup. you can decorate it with interesting knick-knacks or a favorite figurine, or turn it into a tiny flowerpot or, yes, even a drinking glass.

It was a tale of two extremes in this week's energy inventory report from the Department of Energy. In the case of crude oil, the direction was down. Following last week's large decline of over 5 million barrels, traders were expecting stockpiles to fall by an additional 3 million barrels this week. The actual decline, however, was more than 3.5 times that at 10.585 million barrels, and represents the largest weekly decline this year and the largest two-week drop since July.
While crude inventories saw a much larger than expected decline, gasoline stockpiles rose more than expected. In this week's report, traders were expecting stockpiles to rise by 2 million barrels. Here, the actual increase was more than triple that at 6.717 million barrels. This was the largest weekly increase since January.

Judge Hears Arguments In Md. Jail Death Case

Related tagsAnthony McIntosh, Corrections officer, Death, Inmate, Ronnie White, Suicide
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — Defense lawyers are asking a judge to dismiss some charges against a Maryland jail worker accused of failing to seek medical attention for an inmate found hanging by a sheet while in custody for a police officer's death.
Lawyers for Anthony McIntosh, who is scheduled for trial next month in federal court in Greenbelt, sought the partial dismissal Friday because they say an FBI agent falsely testified before the grand jury and prosecutors did nothing to correct her despite knowing she was wrong. Justice Department prosecutors denied the misconduct allegations.
McIntosh was working at the Prince George's County jail on the morning of June 29, 2008, when he found Ronnie White, 19, unresponsive in his cell and hanging by his neck from a sheet. White had been charged two days earlier in the hit-and-run death of a county police officer. Though McIntosh released White from the sheet, prosecutors say he immediately left the cell, didn't tell anyone and later falsified reports about the death. Another guard found White about 15 minutes later with his head slumped over. Defense lawyers say McIntosh, who claimed a colleague found White, had panicked at the discovery.
The state medical examiner's office ruled White's death a homicide by strangulation and asphyxiation and the case stirred immediate concerns that vigilante justice had taken place, especially since White had been charged in a police officer's death. Officials said at the time that seven guards had access to White at the time of his death, as did an unspecified number of supervisors. Still, state prosecutors closed their investigation without bringing charges, and though a federal indictment returned against McIntosh last year accuses him of covering up his knowledge of White's death, it does not allege that he or anyone else had any direct role in it.
McIntosh is charged with a federal civil rights offense and two counts of obstruction of justice.
At issue Friday was testimony from an FBI agent who helped investigate the case.
Defense lawyers say the agent, Mia Winkley, falsely summarized a nurse's statements in a way that encouraged the grand jury to indict McIntosh in White's death. Winkley told the grand jury that the nurse saw White shortly after 10:15 that morning and that White had a "faint pulse, which indicated that his heart was working, but not well."
But defense lawyers say the nurse had consistently stated that she saw White at 10:30 and that White was not breathing, had no pulse and was already unresponsive. The difference could be critical because the trial jury will be asked to consider what role McIntosh's alleged inactivity played in White's death.
"It was false, and she knew it was false, and it was actually quite misleadingly false," said Deborah Boardman, an assistant federal public defender.
Forrest Christian, a Justice Department prosecutor, said there was no evidence that the testimony was inaccurate and that, besides, there was other evidence supporting the criminal charges.
"There is ample additional evidence from which the grand jury could conclude that Ronnie White was alive, could be resuscitated and the defendant left him to die," Christian said.
U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams Jr. didn't immediately rule on the motion.
The judge also heard arguments on other motions, including one from prosecutors seeking to introduce evidence about McIntosh's prior work experience. The government wants to tell jurors about an earlier occasion, in 2007, in which McIntosh and another officer discovered an unresponsive inmate and submitted an accurate report — evidence they say shows that McIntosh knew the proper way to handle an in-custody death. They also highlight a 2008 incident in which McIntosh, while guarding an inmate, accidentally left his service weapon in a hospital bathroom but then lied about the details in a report to his supervisors.

Findlay, OH (March 24, 2014)--Military Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) invites veterans looking for a new career to attend the Veterans Career Assistance Program (VCAP) on Thursday, April 24. This career workshop will take place at MVRC's Findlay office, located at 423 Trenton Avenue. It will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and lunch will be provided.
The VCAP is an interactive workshop that will improve veterans' job-search skills. MVRC career specialists will lead the workshop and will teach cover letter and resume writing. If veterans have resumes, they should bring them, as they will spend time revising their current resumes or writing new ones.
"By the time they leave, each vet will have a basic, functional resume," says Tim Taylor, Director of Operations.
The VCAP is a group workshop, but veterans will receive individualized attention from MVRC career specialists. The specialists will work with veterans one-on-one to address their questions and show them how to write a marketable cover letter and resume.
Veterans interested in attending the Veterans Career Assistance Program must pre-register by Monday, April 21. To register, call career specialist Bob Driftmyer at 419-516-0411.
Military Veterans Resource Center is a nonprofit organization that provides career services to veterans who have served honorably. MVRC works with veterans one-on-one to identify the obstacles holding them back from employment and equips them with resources to help them overcome those obstacles. These may include job-readiness coaching, skills training, counseling, or supportive services and may be accessed through MVRC or through partnerships with veterans' service organizations, private social service agencies, and/or state and federal agencies. For additional information, please visit www.milvetsrc.org.

Local Steelers fans beard the nation
Ever looked in the mirror and imagined how your face would look with Brett Keisel's glorious beard?
What about your wife or husband• Your baby• How about your dog?
Thanks to three local — and beardless — Steelers fans, you can stop wondering.
Keiselbeardme.com is a website they created that allows visitors to upload their pictures and juxtapose Keisel's beard on themselves and others.
"A few weeks ago, I was looking to put up a new Facebook profile pic, and I had one of me with a goofy mustache that I had Photoshopped onto my face as I wore a Steelers jersey," said website co-creator Nick Cobler, 37, of Westview. "So I figured I'd take it up a level and cut out a Keisel beard and apply that and make it my pic.
"I laughed so hard when I posted it. I thought, 'How great would it be if everyone could do that — and sport the super beard of the Super Bowl?'"
Super great, as it turns out.
The site made its debut Jan. 15, during the home playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens. As of this morning, it had registered 247,000 hits with 11,000 downloaded images of regular folks, plus some animals, sporting Keisel's headline-making beard.
"It was a simple idea," said co-creator Dave Smith, 28, of Cranberry. "We didn't expect this much attention."
John Campbell, 46, of South Fayette was the third site creator.
The allure is obvious: The NFL Network recently crowned Keisel's crop of facial hair as the best beard in the league — ever.
"He has a fabulous beard," Smith said.
Thanks to the site, we know what President Barack Obama, Sidney Crosby, the Statue of Liberty and the presidents on Mt. Rushmore look like with a Keisel beard.
"A lot of attractive women also have been bearded," Smith said. "I'm not sure if that's them or their boyfriends doing it."
Keisel approves.
"I think it's hilarious," the defensive lineman said through his lavish locks Tuesday in Dallas. "A lot of them are putting them on their dog or their baby or something like that. It's pretty funny."
The creators make no money off the site. None of them have beards themselves, but are considering adopting the look. Or, at least, trying.
"I could probably grow a beard," Smith said. "But not one of Keisel's magnitude."
Every image is screened before being uploaded on the site because Keisel's beard will not be used for naughty shenanigans.
After all, Smith said, "You have to respect the beard."

On 8/11/14 at 1345 hrs BCSO patrol deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 500 block of Oakwood Drive, Statesboro, for a reported burglary in progress. The complainant observed two black males force entry to the home and called 911 for assistance. Upon arrival deputies set up a perimeter around the residence, made entry, and cleared the home, finding no one inside. Deputies then fanned out looking for anyone matching the complainant's description of the two suspects.
At 1430 hrs Senior Deputy Ross Newman and Deputy 1st Class Devon Deloach observed two black males walking on foot along the railroad tracks which parallel US 301 S approximately one quarter mile from the burglary scene. The males, a 16 yoa juvenile and 18 yoa Dauntavius Robinson, were positively identified by the complainant as the persons she observed forcing entry to the home. The juvenile and Robinson were arrested and transported to the Bulloch County Jail where they were charged with Burglary in the 1st Degree.
S/D Newman and DFC Deloach received commendations for observing and arresting these two suspects. Sheriff Anderson thanks them for their diligence and efforts.

VTR is my favorite Healthcare REIT and one of the best managed REITs overall. While I don't consider the shares anywhere near bargain-pricing levels, I consider the stock soundly valued and worthy of an entry position. For a deep value investor, I would wait on a pullback, but I have no problem recommending shares at the current price point.
The best quality real estate with the highest sales productivity should thrive as successful retailers want to drive sales and inventory turnover..., Amazon is recognizing that to build a successful mousetrap, the blueprint must include REAL ESTATE.
The cream always rises to the top, and today REIT investors have an opportunity to pick up shares in a stalwart REIT that has a superior low cost of capital advantage. It's critical to always examine the underlying revenue generators of a REIT and remember that "quality is not free.

Personal Action Plans: The Road Map to Success
Some of the most successful people in the world attribute their success to writing down their goals and reviewing them daily. Why not learn from the best?
Everyone has the ability to become abundantly successful. Some of the most successful people in the world attribute their success to writing personal action plans in one form or another. Personal action plans are potential road maps to achieving success. As with all road maps, sometimes there are detours, U-turns or unexpected road construction, but ultimately, they lead to the charted destination.
Creating a personal action plan is not difficult. It takes a little time, thought and planning. Here's one of the many ways to go about creating a personal action plan:
- Define the goal. With any road map there is a beginning point and an endpoint. The endpoint in a personal action plan is the goal. The goal can be anything from losing weight for an important event or saving money to go on vacation. The destination is something that is important and personal to the goal setter.
- Chart the route. It is important to plan a direct route from beginning to end. Expect a few detours along the way, but do not intentionally build detours into the personal action plan. For example, if the goal is to lose weight, do not build in a detour if it is taking longer than expected. Building a Twinkie pit stop on the road map is an intentional detour.
- Define every step it will take to attain the goal and keep track of it. If the goal is to lose weight by Aunt Mary's wedding, the obvious steps to reaching the personal action plan goal will be to exercise, modify food intake, and drink more water. Personal action plans need more than the obvious steps to be successful. They need steps that can be quantified. Exercising for 45 minutes 4 times a week is better than the obvious goal to simply exercise. Drinking eight 8-oz glasses of water daily is more detailed than the goal of drinking more water. Track your progress with a personal goal log.
- Modify the personal action plan as necessary. The great thing about action plans is that they can be modified. An unexpected detour and/or road construction is cause to modify the personal action plan. For example, an athlete's goal of running 5 miles in the park daily hits a detour upon hearing the forecast of a severe snowstorm. Instead of running in the park, the athlete will have to use a less desirable means of exercise, the stationary bike. The athlete is still headed in the right direction, but has had to take a temporary side road to reach the goal.
- Review the action plan. The best personal action plan in the world is useless if it's not reviewed. Review the personal action plan as often as necessary in order to reach the desired goal.
Remember, a personal action plan is a map to attain a personal goal. It is a life enhancement tool. As with life, detours happen. When the detours and road construction occur, be flexible, embrace them and move on.

Sant (religion)
In Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism, a sant is a human being revered for his or her knowledge of "self, truth, reality" and as a "truth-exemplar".[1][2]
Sant is sometimes translated as "saint", but this is a false cognate (there is no etymological commonality).[3] Sant is derived from the Sanskrit root sat, which can mean "truth, reality, essence", and saint is derived from Latin sanctus, which means "holy, sacred".[1]
Schomer and McLeod explain Sant as preceptor of Sat or "truth, reality", in the sense of "'one who knows the truth' or 'one who has experienced Ultimate Reality', that is a person who has achieved a state of spiritual enlightenment or mystical self-realisation".[4][5] William Pinch suggests the best translation of sant is "truth-exemplar".[1]
Sant differs from saint not merely in the etymological sense but also in usage. The word is used in various contexts:[2][4][6]
- In fifteenth- and sixteenth-century India under Islamic rule, it was used generally to describe teachers and poet-scholars who led worshippers and communities the praises of god or goddess within the Bhakti movement in Hinduism.
- It referred to the Gurus of Sikhism religion that developed from the 15th century onwards, and other holy men who later taught Guru Granth Sahib.[7]
- In modern era, the term sometimes describes any holy man or woman who advocates a particular form of spirituality or members of the group that leads a Sant Mat (teachings of a spiritual congregation).
- The term is also used in a generic sense and in this respect is similar to the usage of saint to indicate a morally good person. As such, it has been applied to a wide range of gurus and other religious leaders.

Norm's regulars won't be surprised by any of the reasons that he advances, and I'd I'm among those who would generally agree with him on things like this. But I think that there is one possible explanation that is missing here. I say 'possible' because I've never really tried it out properly. So here goes:
Is it possible that the biggest problem that the entire left has is that it doesn't understand the central role that liberal democracy plays in advancing its aims?
Could it be the case that, when presented with a choice between supporting...
- a political programme that was long on generic socialism (Union rights, common ownership, secular republicanism, internationalism, anti-racism, etc), but short on ambition to improve the general quality of standard liberal democratic practice, or....
- a political programme that is broadly indifferent, or even mildly hostile to the general demands of socialists, but that places a high priority on improving the institutions of liberal democracy
I would suggest (and at this stage, it's only a suggestion) that leftists would generally achieve their aims more effectively, and in a more sustainable way by supporting the latter. I would qualify this, of course, by insisting that only a representative democracy (no plebiscites, strong parliamentarians, unconcentrated media ownership, bicameralism, etc) can be treated as genuine 'liberal democracy' for the purposes of this argument. So Switzerland or the US can't really be used to contradict me here.
And I'd argue this because I can't think of an example of any state achieving lasting progress of the kind that socialists would like to see without it also placing a premium upon the values of liberal democracy. Labour - in the 1960s - can put it's greatest achievements down to liberalising reforms rather than any red-blooded socialist policies.
I can also think of examples of states that have had a political leadership that is indifferent - or even hostile - to many of the totemic socialistic demands, but that have nevertheless become much more acceptable societies from a left-wing point of view. Almost every EU state would fit this description over the past 50 years. And states where the quality of democracy hasn't improved (or has even deteriorated) - see Italy for details - have also resulted in a lack of social progress.
On the other hand, there are numerous examples of states failing to effect lasting change (indeed, becoming objectively less progressive) despite the protestations of their supposedly left-wing leaderships.
Is the problem with the left that it is too busy striking postures to see what is under its very nose? That liberal democracy has achieved more socialistic progress than active socialism even has? Is it time to park socialistic demands and instead to focus upon democratic renewal?
Now where did I put that hard hat?
