Thank Dog!
Thank you God! : )
First of all, Get Well Soon, Anne!
I believe dogs are one of the most incredible gifts in the world for us. And although I have a few remarkable dog stories of my own, I want to share one in particular, as it was easily the most incredible thing that ever happened to me, and remains in my life the most convincing evidence that there's more to the world than what we see.
I lost my male Keeshond, Linus, in 1998, just weeks before moving from a condo to a house where I hoped, at age 10, he would finally have a yard of his own. A number of fairly remarkable things happened in the 3 days while he was in the hospital, where initially he was thought to be recovering but ultimately he died. I was with him at the end, and as any pet lover knows it's about the hardest thing one can go through. Shattered, I left the animal hospital that day and went home to be alone for a while, taking up his dish and putting other things of his away. Finally I went up to my computer to check my email. The *very first* message I had was from an email address I did not know, and it was a note from a stranger expressing sincere condolensces on the death of my dog! It was literally the first communication I had from anyone after leaving the animal hospital, yet nobody but my parents and the vet knew it had just occurred. As it turns out, the email had been mis-addressed, and meant to go to another customer of the same internet provider who had also recently lost their family dog! Now I can probably count on half a hand the number of times I received email that was meant to go to someone else, and here it happened with the exact message I probably needed at exactly the right time. I've had many cool synchronicities in my life, no doubt before and definitely after, but this one simply defied any odds one could imagine. I exchanged some email with the sender and the intended recipient and we were all astonished by the "coincidence".
It still took me months to grieve and start healing from Linus' passing, but at least during that time I knew I had someone or something trying to look after me.
And my dogs seem to get more remarkable each time. Lucy the Akita followed Linus, and that lovely girl also passed too young in 2008 from cancer. But she came to me in a dream and its elegant symbology (long story) led me down an amazing and non-obvious path to specifically finding/choosing her successor, Heather, another Akita. And a year later we adopted a male Akita, Ryouko (Rio) and they suit each other beautifully. They are the angels in my life, both special but Heather is one of the most remarkable souls I have ever encountered. I've never known another dog even remotely like her. I can't imagine ever losing her, but of course the gift of the dog comes with an all-too-short lifespan, which I suppose can be its own gift in a way, or at least lesson. My heart has and will break every time, but the day I lose Heather (assuming I outlive her) will practically fracture the sky for me. I guess it's the price of joy, and in the meantime I take as much joy in our "kids" as I possibly can.
So yes, God as a Dog. I couldn't agree more, and I hope that when I pass they will all be there on the other side (or eventually join me there). Nothing would make me happier.
All the best for your healing, Anne.
We are currently raising two 7-month old Lab pups, and I'm reading the book, "Pukka's Promise: The Quest for Longer-Lived Dogs", by Ted Kerasote, a wonderful book about the brilliance that dogs bring to our lives.
God as Dog - Not a doubt in my world. :)
Anne, sooo very happy to have you back.....
When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He'd finished,
Not one was quite the same,
God said, "I'll walk this earth of mine,
And give each one a name."
And so He traveled far and wide,
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him,
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth,
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, "Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end,
I've turned my own name back to front,
And call you DOG, my friend."

This is really weird. The other afternoon I sat down and had an incredible meditation. During the meditation I became aware of a white dot which turned to a cloud as it went right to left it breafly went out of sight then came back into my line of "sight". As I looked what I saw was a small white wire haired terrier with floopy ears, a black nose and two big black eyes. It instantly went past my line of "sight" in my mind and I immediately said to myself " What do I do with that?"
And now 6 days latet as I sit here to see whats new on Unknowncountry.com I am amazed at the likeness that this dog has to the one in my meditation. Since last year my meditations have really taken off. I didnt know what to think of the DOG visit but I think I do now. All my Love to you Anne!
A speedy recovery!
Anne, so glad you are healing!
Such a beautiful tale, as are also those shared by other readers. Love and thanks to all the healing 'beings of love' critters that are with us!
This from my own blog a few years ago...
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
~Arabian Proverb
For many of us, our connection to spirit can show itself in strange and mysterious ways, making us scratch our heads, connect the dots, and often leading to a spiritual "Aha!" moment that challenges our notions of how we perceive our own definitions of The Divine. Little did I know that in April 2004, The Divine would find me; and it would come disguised as a dog.
That year I was fortunate enough to be able to telecommute from home, which enabled me to take full advantage of the beautiful spring weather with daily walks to our neighborhood park. April 30th was no different, and as I set out from my house around noon, I eagerly looked forward to time away from my computer and a chance to get my blood going and enjoy the sun and the light, cool breeze of the day. The walk was uneventful until I reached the far side of the park where the trail circled around a small group of live oak trees. I usually just continued on this turn-around and looped back on the trail to return home. As I was coming within 15 feet or so of the turn-around, all seemed normal, except for 3 small squirrels that hurriedly scurried up the nearest tree. As I was coming into the turn-around, I soon heard the barking and growling of dogs. I looked up just in time to see two cow dogs running like bats out of hell directly towards me. They were so fast that I realized that I had no chance of getting away from them. A voice in my head just told me to freeze and to not run. I placed my feet close together, with no space between them, looked straight ahead, and held my hands and arms as high as possible. About that time the two dogs reached me, barking, growling, and sniffing at my feet. Standing across the street at one of the houses was a man with a "mullet" and wearing a yellow tank top. He was yelling at the dogs and attempting to call them back, stopping briefly to shout in my direction, "Don't move!" After about half a minute, the dogs finally left and ran back to the man across the street. During this whole encounter, more than fear, I felt anger at the irresponsibility being displayed by the dogs owner, and the fact that he had not moved from his own spot to retrieve his aggressive dogs. As soon the owner secured the dogs, I headed back home where I sent a complaint to our neighborhood MUD board about residents and the problem of unrestrained pets. At the time, I was not only concerned about my own close call, but realized that if a small child had come down that section of the park at that day and time, the outcome could have been considerably worse.
The next day (Saturday) was the running of the Kentucky Derby. I have always loved horses and fell in love with watching horse races about 17 years ago when I had a chance to watch quarter horse races at the local racetrack, Manor Downs. In 2004, one of the horses entered in the Kentucky Derby was named Pollard's Vision, a steed named after "Red" Pollard, the famous jockey that road the great Seabiscuit to victory back in the late 1930's. The story of Seabiscuit and Red Pollard had touched me for a very long time, being a testament to spirit, hope, courage and the special relationship between horse and rider. One of the interesting things about Red Pollard was that he was blind in his right eye, a fact that cost him at least one race in which he rode Seabiscuit. In addition, he had earned a reputation as fighter, often earning extra cash as a boxer. I discovered in reading the newspaper and listening to T.V. news stories about Pollard's Vision, that the horse got his name because he was also, like Red Pollard, blind in his right eye, rather unusual for any racehorse. I decided early on that I would pull for Pollard's Vision in the derby race, strictly for sentimental reasons. When the race was run late Saturday afternoon, Pollard's Vision pulled away early and held on to the lead for quite a while, as I screamed my lungs out at the TV in our den, pulling for him to win. Alas, he was soon passed by several other horses and ended up losing the race. I was heart broken, cried a little, but then just let it go and didn't give it another thought. It was just another horse race, and I felt rather silly about getting so caught up in an event that was, in the grand scheme of things, pretty insignificant.
Sunday was another bright and beautiful day, so that morning I set out on another walk to the park. As I was approaching the area of the dog attack from Friday afternoon, I remember thinking about those two dogs and hoping that I never saw or encountered them ever again. Being a little wary, I noticed that the coast was clear ahead, and I continued on. Right after I rounded the trees and started back towards home, I suddenly became aware of something behind me. I turned around and just about jumped out of my skin when I spied a white dog coming up beside me; it was as if he had come out of nowhere! The dog was a pit bull with no tags or collar, was very lean, and was white except for a few very small, dark spots, almost like freckles, around his muzzle. He did not appear aggressive, and continued to walk jauntily beside me, keeping pace as I walked. Once he jumped up for attention, but I ordered him to get down, which he did. I then noticed that his right eye appeared clouded over, possibly due to an injury or blindness. He paced me all the way to the other side of the school, turning in to the school parking lot and headed back in the opposite direction. Although nervous initially, I realized that he had never intended to harm me and I even felt, in some strange way, that he was protecting me.
As I got a couple of blocks away from the dog, tears flowed from my eyes as I realized that I had been given a message that I was safe, not to worry anymore, and that someone was looking out for me. Red Pollard had just thanked me for my support the day before during the Kentucky Derby!
Never before, or since, have I encountered problems with dogs in our local park, and I came to a new appreciation of the seemingly small, insignificant events that tie together the various aspects of our lives. Everything that we experience has meaning, but we must take the time to feel and notice all that goes on in our personal lives and the world around us. We are part of a matrix or grid, connecting all and everything that exists, and we are never truly alone; and connecting to those people, things, and events that stir our feelings and emotions in a positive way is the key.
The difference between mere "coincidence" and that of realization of The Divine Connection is simply one of perception, and we all are given opportunities every day in deciding how we choose to perceive our reality. We can be cynics and scoffers, or we can become entwined in the magic that surrounds us, allowing The Sacred to penetrate our souls and lead us to an unimaginably beautiful destiny of our own making, that of being co-creators in the Divine.
In the story of Red Pollard, Seabiscuit, and the pit bull, metaphor is everything. All are symbols of love, loyalty, and strength of will beyond all odds. We must see beyond the literal, the facts, and what our normal senses perceive to get to the truth by how people, things, and events make us feel.
For me, I finally understood, on a whole other level, the interconnectedness of my life to all others, as well as why dog is God spelled backwards.
Ms. Strieber: I had a small aneurysm burst in my brain in 1994 while I was in a hospital emergency room waiting for injuries from a motorcycle crash to be patched-up and a stroke three days later so I know at least a little about what you are going through and wish you the best and hope you have a speedy recovery. I have been waiting to hear the results of your procedure and surgery and am very relieved and glad to see you are again posting to your online diary.
Anne, heal quickly, and I do feel we are all blessed by Dog or God...
Sitting here with one dog asleep on my feet and another asleep beside me, I can only nod and smile.
God has manifested as Dog for me all my life.
Healing blessings, Anne. May all be well.
We have a dog program for the inmates in the prison where I am a teacher. You're absolutely right, Anne. I watch each man be saved by the love he expresses for his dog.
My best thoughts to you for a speedy recovery.
This is such a beautiful and heart moving story.
Thank the dogs. Sending you love and hoping you're on a good road to recovery :) Anna
I am an dyslexic agnostic... I do not know if I believe in dog or not.

Potential homeowners assume that, once they buy a home, they can essentially do as they wish with it. If they want to plant a tree in the lawn, they will; if they want to paint the house pink, they can; if they want to install solar panels on their roof, no problem.
Unfortunately, such freedom cannot necessarily be assumed for every home purchase.
Restrictive covenants are agreements that limit how homeowners can use their property. These agreements may be created by language in the deed itself or by a separate document relating to the deed. They are said to "run with the land," meaning that they apply to anyone who owns the property.
If you are planning on buying a home, condominium, townhouse, or other property, you must take note of whether any restrictive covenants will affect your ability to use your new residence.
Purpose of Restrictive Covenants
Who would try to limit your ability to freely use your property? Municipalities, developers, or homeowners' associations (HOAs) will often create and enforce restrictive covenants. (In the latter two cases, these are typically referred to as covenants, conditions, and restrictions, or CC&Rs.) Private citizens may also regulate land use when they enter into contracts, which impose restrictive covenants on land.
The goals of these entities vary, but generally, they're trying to either increase property values (say, by preventing residents from painting their homes ugly colors) or to maintain order within the neighborhood (perhaps by mandating certain days or methods of putting out trash).
Restrictive covenants may also be designed to maintain the character of certain developments or neighborhoods (including by preventing residents from making certain alterations to their homes' size or facades or from removing historic trees lining their property).
Doing Your Due Diligence Before You Buy
Keep in mind that restrictions can come from a variety of sources. If you are buying into a condominium or other development, the developer should give you a detailed list of these restrictions and requirements before you close the sale.
If your potential purchase is a "regular" home, not connected with a development, the easiest way to find out about any restrictive covenants is by looking at the title commitment that you'll get before buying title insurance. The title company should note any applicable restrictions within. If for some reason you won't be getting title insurance, you can visit (or ask your lawyer to visit) the local county recorder of deeds. Restrictive covenants will be written onto the face of the property deed, which is a public record.
You'll want to find out about and consider any restrictive covenants well in advance of the closing, since you may realize the limitations are more than what you are willing to live with.
Examples of Restrictive Covenants
The following restrictions are among the most common types that a home buyer might encounter, particularly when buying a property in a community governed by a homeowners' association:
- preservation of a sight line for a neighboring property
- height, placement, or type of construction allowed for certain parts of the property
- necessity of obtaining permission to repaint a home a different color, or being required to repaint on a regular schedule
- when and what holiday decorations you may display
- types and number of pets allowed
- prohibition on operating an in-home business
- guidelines for tree-cutting or landscaping
- limits on types of fencing that can be used and the maximum height allowed
- whether and where you may park RVs, boats, and non-running vehicles on the property
- types of materials that may be used for window treatments
- prohibition on installing solar panels, enclosed patios, or swimming pools, and
- maintaining a home's minimum size, height, architectural style, or color scheme.
You'll notice that some restrictive covenants are actual restrictions, while others are affirmative obligations. For example, you might be prohibited from planting trees taller than seven feet; you might also be required to paint your home's façade white once per year. You should carefully study both types of restrictive covenants before you purchase.
What Happens If You Violate a Restrictive Covenant?
Penalties are important for you to understand as a homeowner. If you violate a restrictive covenant, like the ones listed above, what happens?
If you live in a community governed by a homeowners' association, it will (if it's doing its job) take steps to enforce the covenant. Local authorities (e.g., the police or district attorneys) will not enforce a covenant, because it's a purely contractual agreement, and not a criminal statute. (In the context of historic preservation, however, there might be legislation restricting your ability to alter your home if it's considered a historic structure). Most likely, the HOA board will investigate any complaints and then, if appropriate, issue a fine.
In certain circumstances, individual neighbors may also take legal action to enforce a restrictive covenant. The neighbor would ask the court for an "injunction" ordering you to comply with the covenant. The neighbor might also succeed in having the court award money damages for the breach and attorney fees and court costs.
Difference Between Restrictive Covenants and Zoning Regulations
Restrictive covenants are different from zoning regulations. Local governments (cities and counties) regulate land use primarily through zoning ordinances. A zoning ordinance may direct things like what types of structures can be placed on property within a particular zoning classification (commercial, residential, industrial) and so forth, and what uses can be made of that property.
Some zoning ordinances are similar to restrictive covenants, such as those limiting the height of a building. Nevertheless, restrictive covenants typically exert even greater control over a homeowner's lifestyle.
Questions for Your Attorney
- Before I purchase a new home or property, how can I see all of the restrictive covenants that might limit my use and enjoyment of the property?
- Before I purchase a new home or property, can I negotiate one or more of the restrictive covenants?
- How can a homeowner dispute the legality of a particular restrictive covenant?
- Can restrictive covenants dictate what a homeowner may plant in the backyard if the yard is not visible to any other homeowner in the community?
- What are the penalties for my breaking a restrictive covenant?
- What's my recourse if the HOA board is enforcing restrictive covenants against me, but not against other property owners?

Embattled east grand forks (mn) economic development and housing authority director jim richter informed the city Tuesday that he is retiring effective immediately. Richter has been on paid administrative leave since may 6th after it became public that a 510-thousand dollar loan made to boardwalk enterprises in 1999 has gone unpaid. The east side council accepted the retirement notice last night but many members vowed to make corrections in the system and seek repayment of the loan.
Richter's status with the city was the subject of a closed door meeting last week between the e-d-h-a board and city council. a council agenda item suggested the city would act on richter's resignation. City administrator david Murphy says he and two staffers will lead the e-d-h-a until things are sorted out.

I would appreciate if anybody could help me on this.
I bought an EA a few months ago. I need to recover it because my Hard Disk has failed, so it is broken and I had to re-install operating system and everything from scratch.
I remember that in this MQL portal, on my profile, I used to have a link to see what I bought in the past. Now I cannot see it. I wanted to use it against Metaquotes as a proof that I have already bought it, so I can ask for a backup copy or something. The point is that MQL sites are now a mess, changing fom MQL4.com/..... to MQL5.com/...... as you navigate. This is not intuitive and I cannot find my old profile in MQL5.com, only here in MQL4.com. If I try to recover my password in MQL5.com it says the email is incorrect, so maybe I used a temporary email for this and now I don't remember.
Metaquotes, I think this process should be improved to avoid this kind of things. Please contact me to see if I can recover the EA and my access to MQ5.com (the EA I bought was for MT4, not for MT5, but for some reason, the buying could only be done using MQL5.com, another counter-intuitive thing.... anyway.....).

Arab Deaf Week Starts Saturday in UAE's Sharjah
The 26th Arab Deaf Week begins in UAE's Sharjah on Sunday under the theme "caring for deaf children of pre-school age," reported the Gulf News daily.
The Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services will run a program of lectures, an open day, a camp and a marathon for Arab children, a spokesman for the city said.
Most of the activities will involve participation by deaf and normal children together, as part of the efforts to integrate the disabled into the community, said the paper.
The program will begin with a lecture for parents of the deaf children and the experts working with them. It will tackle ways of rehabilitating a deaf child with the help of hearing aids as well as the prevention of deafness – Albawaba.com

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
Angels & Demons, the follow-up film to The Da Vinci Code, has many of the elements of the 2006 movie: star, director, a little controversy.
What it doesn't share with its predecessor, filmmakers would like you to know, is Tom Hanks' hairstyle.
"It's totally different" from Hanks' slicked-back coif of the original, insists producer Brian Grazer. "It's better. Everything is more contemporary. "
The adaptation of Dan Brown's novel continues the sleuthing adventures of Robert Langdon (Hanks), a Harvard expert in religious symbols who discovers a conspiracy to destroy the Vatican.
Da Vinci collected $758 million worldwide, but even Grazer says the movie moved a little slowly. Angels, by contrast, sprints from crypts, catacombs and cathedrals.
In adapting the hugely successful Da Vinci novel, "I think we may have been too reverential toward it," Grazer says. "We got all the facts of the book right, but the movie was a little long and stagey."
In Angels, opening May 15, "Langdon doesn't stop and give a speech," Grazer says. "When he speaks, he's in motion."
Set in and around the Vatican, Brown's Angels includes the murders of cardinals, who are mutilated with mysterious symbols. Church officials banned the crew from shooting in key locales, sometimes revoking permits that had been approved, Grazer says.
"Weirdly, even though there was so much controversy on The Da Vinci Code, we were able to shoot everywhere," Grazer says. "We were in London, France, so it was harder to catch us."
Because Angels is largely set at the Vatican, "we were pretty much in exile from the religious epicenter of the world," he says.
Da Vinci Code was rebuked by the church and others for its depiction of history. The fact that Angels didn't spark as much debate makes its allure less assured.
Paul Dergarabedian of box office tracking firm Media By Numbers says Angels will need to impress critics if it hopes to find success.
"Da Vinci Code didn't get great reviews, but had controversy to help the box office," he says. "Better reviews could make up that difference for Angels."
That doesn't mean Angels won't generate any controversy. The film centers on an act of terrorism at the Vatican and examines the tension between science and faith.
"We're living in a world that's much more unstable," Grazer says. "Therefore, our energy is focused on belief. This looks at what would happen when you have an act of terrorism designed to undermine that belief."
Despite the contemporary topics, Grazer says the movie has no political undertones. "Both parties, through different means, don't want terrorism to exist in the world," he says.
As for any evolution-vs.-intelligent design parallels, "I'll leave that to others."
But he's happy to talk about Hanks' head — and body.
"I'm telling you, he's got a scene where he's swimming in Speedos, and he looks fantastic," Grazer says. "He's going to add 10 years to his career with that scene alone, just watch."

Global education provider
The company declared a dividend of 8¢, representing 100 per cent of first-half earnings. After achieving earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $43.4 million for the first half of 2009-10, management said the company was now anticipating full-year EBITDA between $94 million and $97 million.
Management's upbeat guidance will please investors, but current full-year consensus forecasts for earnings per share of 17.8¢ appear fairly close to the mark. At 10.51am on Monday Navitas's share price was up 17¢ at $4.65.
The Navitas story is a good one: the company has demonstrated an ability to grow by applying its business model overseas and proved resilient during the global financial crisis. And there has been plenty of positive news flow in the last couple of months, with the company announcing partnerships with several new universities in North America.
However, the share price has increased by more than 20 per cent on the back of that news, and the stock now trades on a price-earnings ratio of about 26. That rating looks stretched alongside analysts' growth forecasts for the next couple of years.

Massimo Vignelli, the award-winning designer whose influential signature minimalist style balanced architecture and graphic design in the later half of the 20th century, has died at the age of 83 after a long-term illness.

Born in Milan on Jan. 10, 1931 and inspired by Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, Vignelli began his career in architecture working as a draftsman when he was 16. He went on to study art and architecture in Milan and Venice, and came to the U.S. through academic fellowships between 1957-1960. He met his wife Lella Vignelli while studying in Venice and in 1960, they established the Vignelli Office of Design and Architecture in Milan.

After Vignelli formed renowned design firm Unimark International with six other designers in Chicago, where they created New York's subway signs and helped shape corporate identities through graphic design, he and Lella co-founded Vignelli Associates -- their own architecture firm -- in 1971.

Massimo Vignelli communicated architectural c...

Illustrious modernist Richard Meier and multi-disciplinary creator Massimo Vignelli reflect on their respective crafts, city life, and enduring friendship in this mesmeric film by Johnnie Shand Kydd.

In 1972, Massimo Vignelli designed a diagrammatic map for the New York City subway. It was a radical departure. He replaced the serpentine maze of geographically accurate train routes with simple, bold bands of color that turned at 45- and 90-degree angles. [...] Its abstract representation of the routes was elegant but flawed. To make the map function effectively, a few geographic liberties were taken, something that didn't sit well with New Yorkers.

Crime log: Resilient grocery squirrel; bad bird hunters
April 18, 2013
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a summary of some crime reports taken from the Greeley Police Department's daily log. Only a few of the hundreds of reports will be used in this weekly column because of space limitations.
Wednesday, April 3
11:55 a.m.: A resident in northeast Greeley called to report that a neighbor's German shepherd was often allowed to run off its leash, using the bathroom on others' lawns and knocking over a small child. The caller wanted officers to remind the dog's owners about leash laws.
1:23 p.m.: A man in south Greeley reported seeing three or four 19-year-old men on the roof of a house shooting at birds. The caller was unsure if the men were using pellet guns or rifles. The caller was concerned because his son plays in the backyard and recently found birds there.
Thursday, April 4
1:44 a.m.: A caller reported that she and her cousin were walking home in the area of 10th Street and 19th Avenue when a person in a car approached them and tried to give them a ride home. The caller said the car, a white Ford Escort, followed them for a bit and the two took off running.
6:06 p.m.: A woman in southwest Greeley told police she was at her friend's house baby sitting when the friend's husband came to the house and took some items and a box. The caller said she thinks the box had a gun in it, and the man had been drinking since 8 a.m.
Friday, April 5
1:07 a.m.: A woman in northeast Greeley reported she is renting a room from a man and he had locked her out because she wouldn't buy him any more beer that night. She asked an officer to accompany her and let her into the residence. She said she was going to break the door if the officers didn't get there soon.
1:24 p.m.: A caller in southeast Greeley reported two vehicles, one possibly a red truck and the other a white sedan, in a high-speed chase. The caller reported that a male in the red truck appeared to be chasing a female in the white sedan, and reached a speed of about 100 mph.
4:16 p.m.: A caller in southeast Greeley reported buying "bad necklaces" for $100 from a woman and she was trying to get her money back. She said the seller gave her false information.
Thursday, April 6
7:45 a.m.: A caller at King Soopers reported that a squirrel had been stuck in the back room for the past couple of days. The caller said pest control had set up a trap, but the squirrel wouldn't go in. The caller was told police only deal with domesticated animals, but an officer went to talk with the caller. Officers took nets to try and find the squirrel but couldn't see it.
Friday, April 7
11:45 a.m.: A caller in northeast Greeley reported seeing a man sitting in a Ford Escape in Kiwanis Park, holding a gun and cocking it. Police found that the gun was a toy that shoots plastic pellets. Officers talked to the boys about the severity of their actions. Their parents were notified of the incident.
6:10 p.m.: A caller in east Greeley reported seeing a cat with a plastic grocery bag around its torso. The cat's legs and head were out of the bag. Officers talked with the cat's owner, who said he let his cats out earlier and found that the black cat was tangled in a bag. The owner said the bag had been removed and the cat was fine. Officers told the owner to make sure the cat stayed on his property.

Familiar music promoter to be honored
By Anton Adamek
Tuesday, February 18, 2014 2:20 AM
Future Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame inductee Jim Juve shows a few of the many posters he created as a DJ, concert promoter and bar owner throughout the tri-state area. Juve will be inducted into the Iowa hall of fame next Aug. 31. ANTON ADAMEK/BLUFF COUNTRY READER
He's never played a note in his life, but Jim Juve's career has still been one of the best instruments of success for rock 'n roll in Iowa. For nearly 60 years, Juve has spun records as a disc jockey, promoted concerts and owned bars with a decidedly rock 'n roll influence.
His work took him throughout the tri-state area into southwestern Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota. However, it was in Iowa that Juve built his biggest reputation and for that he will be honored by the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association (IRRMA) by being inducted into its hall of fame next Aug. 31.
Juve, 75, grew up on a farm near Decorah as the oldest of nine children. The only exposure he had with live music growing up was when they went into town for dances at historic Matter's Ballroom every Saturday night. It was enough to hook him.
At 10 years of age, Juve started working at Matter's cleaning up after dances and a few years later he started working as a bartender. He found the atmosphere to be irresistible.
"It was the music," recalled Juve, launching into a list of rock 'n roll artists who performed at Matter's beginning in the 1950s.
In 1957, Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps brought their hit "Be-Bop-A-Lula" to Matter's. In the years that followed, such acts as The Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash performed at Matter's.
Many others performed and Juve was soaking it all up.
When he was 17, Juve started traveling around with Dale Wood from KOEL in Oelwein, putting on record hops at local dance halls. Soon, he had his own show titled "Jim Juve's Coca-Cola Teen Time Dances." The show took him all around the tri-state area, including venues in Fillmore County.
Juve recalled the environment of those dances, which cost only 50 cents to get into. "It was a social thing for kids," he said, adding he would get almost 300 young adults out on the dance floor in one night.
He recalled having big shows at the Harmony Rec Center, Preston Town Hall and community centers in Wykoff, Fountain, Chatfield, and others. Each venue had its own culture, but what continued to be similar throughout were the white bucks, poodle skirts and mostly bashful boys.
Juve also enjoyed going to concerts and dances for his own entertainment. One of the most memorable concerts he attended was in Clear Lake, Iowa, on Feb. 2, 1959. There he saw Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper in what was to be their last performance before a plane crash killed all three on "The Day the Music Died."
Juve was riding back home with several friends through the snowstorm when the news broke. "We couldn't believe what we were hearing," he recalled. But, as Juve understood well, the show had to go on.
After DJ-ing for five years, Juve served in the Army in Europe until his honorable discharge in 1964. Upon coming back home, he worked for several start-up radio stations: KFIL in Preston, KQYB in Spring Grove and KNEI in Waukon. He also got into the bar business, managing the People's Club in Decorah in 1965. Throughout the years, he has either owned or rented bars continually as a nighttime job. During the day, he worked as an event promoter.
As part of his career responsibilities, Juve contacted the musicians or their agents and scheduled performances.
"The musicians were simple back then; they didn't have all the sound systems they have now," he said.
It was also a lot cheaper to bring in a popular group. "Five-hundred dollars would get you a pretty good show. Things weren't expensive," Juve added.
He explained that as larger venues started getting built in the mid-'60s, musicians increased their price and went to those places which could sell more tickets. They also increased their demands for what the venue would provide them.
"Back then, in the '50s, they set up their own equipment," Juve said.
He explained that today's musicians want their travel expenses paid, water and other amenities provided, and all their sound and lighting equipment set up prior to their arrival.
"They want you to provide all the small things now," Juve said.
These and other factors meant decreased accessibility to the popular musicians, even for the promoters. It also meant that experiences like helping Johnny Cash get his frozen car fixed in Decorah in 1961 didn't happen anymore.
"The artists were more approachable when they did a show," Juve said of his time working with the early rock 'n roll musicians.
Juve enjoyed any opportunity he had to meet an artist he brought in. "I'm one of the bigger collectors of memorabilia in Iowa," he said, pointing at a wall in the bar at the Country View Golf Club, where he continues to hold dances throughout the year.
The wall includes posters from events he helped promote, some of which were local bands.
As a DJ, Juve mostly spun vinyl records, starting with two turntables and 100-watt amplifier, but he would occasionally get a live band. He remembered the Nite Lites, a Harmony big band made up of Curt and Orson Guttormson, Denny and Maurice Applen and Tom Steinmetz.
As music crazes came and went, Juve changed with them, but still holds that '50s country-rock is the best. "I still have people that want to have an old-time '50s party," he said.
It's that '50s music culture that he hopes will have a place in the future of music, but he has his worries.
"The idea of music today is 'here today, gone tomorrow,'" said Juve, also pointing out that younger people don't dance anymore.
If it wasn't for dancing, Juve may have never met his wife, Barb, who, he continues to brag, was "a wonderful dancer!"
Juve has worked most of his life trying to keep the music culture alive in the region and he has had a wonderful time doing it.
In 1985, he took an old barn northeast of Decorah and made it into a clubhouse for a golf course he also built himself. During the summer, Juve holds dances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at the Country View.
This past Feb. 2, Juve put on a Winter Dance Party Record Hop, which memorialized the concert he had attended in Clear Lake 55 years ago.
"I enjoyed it to the fullest. I love seeing all the people smile and enjoy the shows," he said. "I've seen a lot of people come to my dances that are now married. Their kids and grandkids come to my shows."
His contributions as a DJ, promoter and bar owner will be honored on Aug. 31, when Juve is inducted into the IRRMA Hall of Fame. Interestingly enough, Paul McCartney will also be inducted that same day.
One of Juve's friends and fellow inductee, James Ronan, had nominated him and Juve was selected out of 200 names from the region. "There are a lot of people, but one of the reasons I was picked is because I'm still doing it."
"I never expected it." Juve said, thanking the numerous people who opened doors of opportunity to him throughout his career, "It's quite an honor. There are many people who made this happen."
If you are interested in experiencing the 1950s again, or for the first time, Juve invites everyone to come out to the Country View on March 9 to dance to Johnny Rogers, a Buddy Holly, Elvis and Ray Price tribute artist. The show starts at 2 p.m. and costs $12 per advance ticket or $15 at the door.

This was not quite the splash Australia had wanted to make at the Commonwealth Games diving.
A disastrous third effort ensured medal hope Grant Nel failed to qualify for the 3m springboard final as Australia's start to the diving at Edinburgh resembled a belly flop.
But England continued to make waves, with world No.2-ranked teenager Jack Laugher topping qualifying for Thursday night's final with a personal best score (465.80).
Australia had hoped to wrestle back the Commonwealth No.1 ranking from Canada at Edinburgh.
But Nel admitted they were now focusing on England after their old foe's golden start.
"I think we can take something from their success," he told AAP.
"Australia is such a sporting nation and loves to win - we have to come back stronger and make sure we can push them."
England took day one diving honours on Wednesday, with two gold including Laugher's dominant one metre springboard win.
Canada claimed the opening gold in the women's synchronised 10m, with Australia's Melissa Wu and Rachel Bugg dead last.
Australia recovered to win one silver and two bronze on Wednesday.
Any doubts England had turned the tables on Australia were erased after 19-year-old Laugher dominated the men's 3m springboard preliminary round.
Nel bombed a difficult third dive and finished 15th in a 17-strong field - a whopping 130.55 points behind Laugher - to miss the top 12 cut for the final.
Australian rookie Dominic Bedggood was 16th.
"I am a bit disappointed to be honest, it is my favourite event and I had hoped to get a medal," said Nel, who nabbed 1m springboard bronze on Wednesday.
"Failing that third dive didn't help."
Nel must regroup before combining with Matthew Mitcham in Friday's 3m synchronised final.

The results of the expedition did not add to vizcaino's reputation, but he made a most glowing report of his discoveries.
vizcaino may have been amiss when he located it in 37 degrees.
Believing that vizcaino had made an error in his chart, they pushed on further north.
vizcaino saw natives on the southern coast painted blue and silvered over with some kind of mineral substance.
He directed that to vizcaino should be given the command of the expedition.
Under this order, vizcaino applied to Viceroy Velasco, and received his permission to make the journey.
The Cross which vizcaino had planted in 1602 was found decked with skins and shells.
That vizcaino's soldiers might respect and esteem him, the viceroy clothed him with authority and showed him the greatest honor.
Here vizcaino found the much desired harbor of refuge, and he named it for his patron, the Conde de Monterey.
His orders were not carried out and vizcaino sailed instead for Japan, whence he returned in 1613, and died three years later.

London: England will go ahead with their controversial cricket tour of Zimbabwe later this year, amidst growing fears that cancellation would prove financially ruinous.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) officials had hinted they would boycott the trip in protest at the policies of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.
But ECB chairman David Morgan, announcing their latest U-turn on Zimbabwe, told British broadsheet the Independent on Sunday: "The only way that I can see us not fulfilling the tour is either because of government directive or because of safety and security. And let me emphasise we don't see them as being issues at the moment."
Under new sanctions agreed at an International Cricket Council board meeting in Auckland last month, England risk a $US2 million ($2.62m) fine if they fail to tour Zimbabwe in October. They could also lose their lucrative status as hosts of September's ICC Champions Trophy one-day tournament. Worst of all, they could be suspended from international cricket, which would prove disastrous for English cricket as a whole, as international matches provide some 85 per cent of the ECB's annual turnover of Ł55 million ($132.55m).
"I have little doubt that if without acceptable non-compliance we decided not to go, the members of the ICC would find it necessary to ensure that we paid an appropriate financial penalty," Morgan said.
His comments came just when the Zimbabwe team itself appeared to be heading towards collapse.
As many as 14 senior players are considering quitting international cricket following the decision by the Zimbabwe Cricket Union to strip Heath Streak of the captaincy.
The ECB's management board is due to discuss the tour at an April 20 meeting at their Lord's headquarters, where three ZCU officials have been invited.

You'll need some traffic attempting to go over the VPN before it'll

Thank You So Much!!!!
He's still wearing the Police T-Shirt:D
WOW!? not the studio version, what is this
@QueenMKB1 for sure!!!!!
This song has been ruined! Where is the album version i was looking for!?
The only thing that scares me is that I'm listening to a music my mum know and sings all the time she pass through my room 😀
Some people want young white females to mix with non-white males.
I made a one-minute video highlighting a very tiny sample of race-mixing advertisements.
I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.
If you click on my name "autumntree2011" highlighted in blue below this comment, you can watch my video.

Beautiful song, HORRIBLE video!!! Such a waist of time, seeing it… WTH happenned to my beloved Sting???
8hours.eu European Petition Against Cruelty To Animals we need one million signatures until 4 Nov Share however you can, there is no shame in helping animals, when someone is cruel the whole world gets touched by this. Signing few seconds is nothing compared to what thousands of animals suffer everyday.
someone please tell me how I can download this version … Thanks!
people love this song in my country
IRL, a band which such gorgeous and produced girls could only sound like shit. IRL.

@DonDorni85 … it's on "Brand New Day":
Can anybody tell me, on what album this version is on?
Remember folks, Sting makes the music, not the music videos.
Agree. I think he thinks this is a way of staying relevant. Personally I don't think he needs to. He's Sting. He'll always be relevant, though his relevance has in my opinion been connected to his creativity. If he makes more like this though, maybe he won't always be relevant.
Also, I prefer the version on the album to this.
@Silvia1826 no truer words were spoken
The song is gold….. but wtf with the video. its shots of sting then a bunch of scantily clad ugly girls… sting…. ugly girls.
if it were sting dancing with some good looking girls i could've stomached it but wtf.. no correlation watsoever. horrible direction
I like this much more than the original video. Great arrangment! )))
Seguro que algunos amigos mios y yo hubieramos hecho lo mismo….arrancar la puerta de guajo….de donde las sacan tan lindas…
Really disappointing uncreative video from STING!.. Seriously are there no videos without sex provocation anymore? Where did art and inspiration go!
@DuncanDonuts3 you think wrong

Some behind the scenes photos by Jung Kim taken while we were getting ready --
And last but not least some outtakes I really liked --
If you haven't figured out yet this was done outdoors with natural light.
I've always wanted do it, carry my backdrop set and shoot with it outdoors one day. Kinda like a little kid's wish hahaha.
And since I was packing up to move, I figured why not just do it. So on the day of shoot we lugged everything out to the little park across from my apartment complex and set up there. :D The wind got super strong at one point and it tore through the backdrop all the way across, we had to tape it back up and it was really ghetto haha. Was all good fun though, I was really happy. Thank you everyone for all the amazing memories~
In other news, New York has been awesome! My producer has been keeping me busy with loads of meetings and shoots. There are so many amazing talents and girls and clothes and everyone's so nice ;_;
Also also! It's Singapore Day this Saturday! FREE HAWKER FOOD. I REALLY want to go but I'll be shooting, so if you're in NY please do go on my behalf (10.30am-6pm at Prospect Park, Brooklyn) and have some awesome Singapore food! Read more about it here.

During his first 100 days in the office, the new president has a golden opportunity to earn the respect of the world by ensuring that the next selection of the World Bank is indeed open, transparent and merit-based.
Don't under-estimate the importance of such a step. With so many people watching around the world, renewed failure to move forward with reforms at this critical juncture would accelerate the gradual disengagement from the two institutions by a growing number of countries. It would also undermine their standing in the court of public opinion at a time when both need to be viewed as "trusted advisors" and respected promoters of the global public good. Read more

The Button Back vintage diner chair
I love this chair! The color and the shape are unique, and I think it's fun, flirty, fresh. There are two availbale, retro and yummy. I could see these easily in a kids' or teenagers' room, easy to clean, but fun and inspiring. If you have a more modern house, you could also easily use this in an office or anywhere tucked in your home where you need some color and design...
I covet. I want. I need. Look at the finish on this bad boy, in the vintage shape of the 60's desk phone... I want it... I need it. Christmas, people!!!Added 9 Years Ago from Americanchairs
I love the arms on this one, love the color and the shape... Can't you see this in a man's office? It's a club chair with a sense of humor... Probably way more comfortable than the one you bought from Staples...Added 9 Years Ago from Americanchairs

How are drugs developed at Vifor Pharma?
The key compounds used to treat iron deficiency were developed in our Swiss R&D laboratories in St. Gallen, where they are also produced. This site continues to investigate novel options and compounds for the management of iron deficiency.
OM Pharma was already active in the field of infectious disease immunology when antibiotics were discovered, and has continued to broaden its expertise ever since in this complex and constantly evolving field. The result has been the development of medicines able to stimulate the body's defence mechanisms against infections.
Research phases
Clinical development consists of four sequential phases performed by specialists around the world. Ongoing research is a combination of studies, designed and coordinated by Vifor Pharma (and partners) in addition to concepts developed by leading physicians in the relevant field:
Phase I evaluates in healthy volunteers how the human body absorbs, metabolises, and excretes the product and whether it has the desired effect. This phase lasts for about one year.
Phase II trials are conducted to find a dose with an optimal efficacy/safety profile in patients. Phase II can take one to two years.
Phase III trials involve various clinics and specialists around the world applying the product to large patient groups in the defined dosage. As regulatory authorities want proof of the safety of the product in long-term usage, at least one of the studies must involve a treatment period of one year. Due to the large number of patients, this phase can easily take up to three years. Only one out of ten candidates entering clinical development reaches this point. Furthermore, phase III trials can provide support for entering new therapeutic indications.
Phase IV of clinical development takes place when the product is on the market. The purpose of phase IV studies is to generate further scientific data that help the clinicians decide on optimal treatment options for their patients. Another important aspect of this phase is to publish the data in medical journals and present them at scientific congresses to educate physicians on the latest findings.

Craving meatloaf, I decided to look online for a change from my usual 'go to' recipe. Keying in meatloaf, I was shocked when 8,978 hits popped up on the computer screen. Then I realized I was on Amazon.com not Google. Curious, I scrolled down and found "The Great American Meatloaf Contest Cookbook: Great Meatloaf Recipes by Great American Cooks;" "Everybody Loves Meatloaf: More Than 100 Recipes for Loaves and Fixings" and "Fast N Simple Meatloaf Recipes."
It was just the tip of the iceberg in almost 9,000 meatloaf options. Continuing, I came to "Ground Beef Favorites from the First Ladies of America," which made me chuckle, because the cookbook rated only 2-1/2 stars out of five, mediocre to say the least.
As well as cookbooks, my meatloaf query took me on an extended journey exploring other meatloaf literary genres. Children's books included "Monster Meatloaf from the School Cafeteria" and "Ketchup Power and the Starship Meatloaf." Both stories sounded interesting. Further exploration uncovered a mystery entitled, "Dial M for Meatloaf," and even a meatloaf comic book entitled "Not Your Mother's Meatloaf: A Sex Education Comic Book," with an August release date.
After that, I decided to browse no further. Turning off the computer, I reached for my recipe box for one of my 'go to' meatloaf recipes. The little tin box, which I have had for years, was filled with both handwritten and typed 3 x 5 cards, filed behind alphabetic tabs. I fingered back from A to M for meatloaf and plucked out a tried and true family favorite, Honey Mustard Meatloaf. A combination of ground beef and ground turkey, Honey Mustard Meatloaf is light fare with a touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
Honey mustard meatloaf
1/2-pound ground chuck
1/2-pound ground turkey
1/2-cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 egg
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon a zesty honey mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Combine beef and turkey with breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, honey mustard, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Place mixture in a non-stick sprayed loaf pan.
1/4 cup ketchup
1-tablespoon zesty honey mustard
2 teaspoon brown sugar, packed
Bake for one hour in pre-heated 350-degree oven.
Makes four generous servings
Note: Recipe can be doubled

I seem to remember seeing some (semi-)automated way of achieving this, maybe in one of the RPMForge .spec files, but that was 2-3 years ago and memory is fuzzy. -- Bogdan Costescu IWR, University of Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany Phone: +49 6221 54 8240, Fax: +49 6221 54 8850 E-mail: bogdan.costescu at iwr.uni-heidelberg.de

Martial Arts and The Law In the
martial art's world there are many arguments that take place. Many argue
about the purpose of one's training. Even though thousands of martial
artists are interested in character-building, physical fitness and the
mental discipline that comes with the training, most individuals join
martial arts studios to feel more confident about their ability to
protect and defend themselves. This issue, the ability to
defend yourself, brings up some very interesting questions:
Do you have the right to protect yourself
in any way you feel is necessary?
Are you protected against assault
charges, criminal or civil lawsuits brought against you by someone you
injured while defending yourself? If you are threatened with
bodily harm, are you justified in taking any action necessary to protect
yourself, your significant other or your personal
possessions?Everybody who trains in the martial arts should be
aware of court rulings and certain laws that might affect their
actions. There are not many simple, clear-cut rights as you may
think. Depending on the state or country that you reside, using your
martial arts skills may lead to an arrest, or a costly and complicated
lawsuit. There are legal consequences in defending yourself.
Remember this; in a court of law, it is assumed that you are aware of
the legal limits of your actions. There's a common legal saying,
"Ignorance of the Law is No Defense." As a martial artist,
if you ever have to defend yourself using physical force, and in doing
so it lands you in police custody, you should immediately seek the aid
of an attorney. When a martial artist, especially a Black Belt is
accused of excessive force in self-defense, the standard is usually
higher than that of a novice practitioner, a non- martial artist, and a
reasonable or prudent person. Many courts believe that it is only fair
that one with unique skills is held to a unique standard.Many
martial artists go through years of extensive training, some make it
into the black belt ranks, but few spend the time learning the assault
laws that could ultimately affect them, or for that matter, the type of
force that they are allowed by law to use on an attacker.Through
out North America, most states allow its law-abiding citizens only one
type of force to be used in self-defense. That type of force is one,
which is necessary to fend of an attack and prevent injury. Universally,
there are three types of force used: reasonable, excessive and
deadly. Reasonable force is
that force which a reasonable person thinks is necessary under the
circumstances, to stop the threat and prevent further injury.
Example: An assailant confronts you and advances forward. He
then directs a punch towards your head. You react by dodging his blow,
causing him to miss the intended target. You then follow up with a kick
to his abdomen. He immediately falls to the ground and ceases his
threatening actions. At this point no further physical action is
required of you, other than making an effort to notify the proper
authorities and reporting the incident.
Excessive force is using any force above and beyond the force
required to stop the threat. Example: An assailant attacks you,
and you are able to block, and counter with a reasonable amount of
force. The attacker falls to the ground and is temporarily immobilized.
At this point, you kick or punch him several more
times. Deadly force is any
force used with the purpose of causing, or knowing it can cause a
substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily harm. Example:
Taking both the Reasonable and Excessive use of force into
consideration, basically any technique used after reasonable force
without justification, may be deemed deadly depending on the severity of
the injury you caused. For
starters, self-defense is not a right, but a privilege - a privilege
that can be lost in a variety of ways. The privilege of self-defense and
the use of force towards another person are justifiable only when a
person reasonably believes that such force is immediately necessary for
the purpose of protecting himself/herself against the use of unlawful
force by such other person on the present location. It is not a
defense to use self-defense when committed in a fight or scuffle entered
into by mutual consent. A person in court claiming the privilege
of self-defense must also establish that his or her belief in the
necessity to use physical force was sound thinking, with common sense
and not excessive.One who provokes or initiates an assault
cannot escape criminal liability by invoking self-defense as a defense
to a prosecution arising from injury done to another. The right to
self-defense is only available to the one who is free from fault.
A good point to remember is, while you are defending yourself and the
assailant's threat stops, your use of force must also stop. If you
continue to use force after the assailant's immediate threat has
stopped, then you may be criminally and or civilly held liable for any
injury the assailant sustained after the threat was no longer
present. As martial arts instructors, regardless of
style, this basic standard of martial arts and the law applies to all.
Therefore, we must reevaluate our own self-defense techniques that are
taught in our training halls. Is it necessary to teach our students to
go above and beyond the force that it is required by law?
From personal experience, I have witness at demonstrations, seminars,
and at tournaments, individuals performing their self-defense
techniques. And in almost all occasions, the defender took extra
measures to continue to kick or punch, and even conduct bone breaks to
the attacker even after the attacker was completely immobilized.
Is this what we want to teach our students, or portray to the public
that martial artists are ruthless? A vast majority of the public already
perceives martial artists, especially black belts as walking deadly
weapons. It is imperative to change that view. It is
up to us as instructors to change that perception. The public must be
taught that we can restrain ourselves and only take the necessary
actions to stop our assailants. Ultimately, a jury of your peers will
judge you in a court of law. Wouldn't you want them on your
side? Lets rethink for a moment and ask ourselves, how can
we continue tradition and still comply with the 21st Century laws.
Today's martial art instructors must take a responsible approach to
teaching self-defense techniques, to include choosing the right words to
describe the technique's purpose. Don't forget that you as the
instructor may also be held accountable for your student's actions,
especially if what you're teaching is not within the limits of the law.

Not for the first time,
CCA has not emerged completely unscathed from the tough market conditions that marked the first half of 2011. However, the bottler is faring considerably better than the Japanese brewers who paid record multiples to gain a foothold in the Australian non-alcoholic beverages sector.
At Schweppes, acquired by Asahi for $1.18 billion in 2009, earnings fell 52 per cent to $6 million in the June half.
At National Foods, acquired by Kirin for $2.8 billion in 2007, dairy and juice earnings fell 43 per cent to $68 million.
It's not surprising, then, that Davis has eschewed an opportunity to buy brewer and RTD manufacturer Independent Liquor, which is said to have attracted a $A1.2 billion offer from Asahi. Davis thinks it's worth closer to $800 million.
Davis's growth strategy may change if he sells CCA's stake in Pacific Beverages to partner SAB Miller in the event of a successful bid for
Davis has flagged the potential purchase of Foster's RTD assets and Fijian beer business for five to 10 times earnings. He is also keen to re-enter the local beer market at the end of a non-compete period by nabbing the Corona licence from Foster's.
If those opportunities elude him, Davis always has the option of reinvesting back into CCA's core businesses to reduce costs and improve capability. This strategy has served CCA well over the past five years and there is no reason it would not continue to do so.
