Stocks of principal field crops, July 31, 2013
Released: 2013-09-06
As of July 31, total stocks of most crops were down from the same date in 2012.
Total stocks of wheat decreased 14.8% to 5.1 million metric tonnes as of July 31, mostly because of a 16.5% decline in commercial stocks. Stocks held on farms fell 202 000 tonnes to 1.6 million tonnes, mainly driven by Alberta, where on-farm stocks decreased by 160 000 tonnes (or -23.5%) to 520 000 tonnes. The five-year average for total stocks of wheat at July 31 is 5.5 million tonnes.
For canola, total stocks fell 14.0% to 608 100 tonnes as of July 31. This was significantly lower than the five-year average of 1.5 million tonnes. The decrease was mostly the result of a 24.3% drop in commercial stocks to 408 100 tonnes. However, on-farm stocks were up 19.0% from the same date in 2012 to 200 000 tonnes.
Total stocks of barley were down 17.7% (or -212 000 tonnes) from the same date a year earlier to 983 400 tonnes as of July 31. On-farm barley stocks explain the majority of the decline, with levels dropping 17.0% (or -163 000 tonnes) to 794 000 tonnes. The five-year average for total stocks of barley stands at 1.6 million tonnes.
Total stocks of oats declined 36.9% from July 31, 2012 to 510 800 tonnes. The five-year average levels stands at 846 200 tonnes. Commercial stocks were down 29.0% to 170 800 tonnes, while on-farm stocks fell 40.2% to 340 000 tonnes.
Note to readers
Data on stocks of principal field crops come from the July Farm Survey of about 15,000 Canadian farmers conducted from July 24 to August 5. Farmers were asked to report the amounts of grain, oilseeds and special crops in on-farm storage. Data on commercial stocks of western major crops originate from the Canadian Grain Commission.
Commercial stocks of corn and soybeans are estimated by a Statistics Canada survey of grain elevators in Eastern Canada. These data will be available on October 4 with the "September Estimates of Production of Principal Field Crops" release. Data on commercial stocks of special crops originate from a survey of handlers and agents of special crops.
National supply-disposition tables for the major grains and special crops are available in CANSIM tables 001-0041 to 001-0043.
September estimates of production of principal field crops will be released on October 4.

Ruffle Pumps7:00 AM
This whole fashion blogging thing creates a community of enablers. So many of you have posted pretty things that I have said "Oh I want it!" and promptly click and buy. Even from stores I never would have gone too! I need to stay away from you guys to keep my bank account from depleting! LOL!
On one of my recent posts foxieracing left this comment:
"Am I the only one who doesn't like how much you feel like shopping after reading posts here...? ;) "
Which made me laugh, so I guess I can't blame others when I do it myself too! :)
Recently Miss "I make everything look so dang cute" Chloe, posted these pretty ruffled pumps and I could not resist. Click and Buy. They are on their way to me so I'll make sure to post when I get them. But first of all can everyone say with me "These are from Ann Taylor?"
Because that's what I said when I saw them. I was torn between the silver and the purple but I just got these purple Stuart Weitzman pumps so went with the silver.
But anyway, since I've been falling in love with ruffled pumps, I went looking for some other options and had to share. here I go with the enabling. ;)
Mary Janes with a ruffle twist! So cute.
I can already imagine myself in a little dress, black tights and these adorable booties.
"Style-ish Steals" edition (under $100)
I'm pretty sure these are exact rip-offs of the Badgley Mischka's above but at 50% of the price. I'm liking this blue color too.
cute, cute and cute.

Super cute! Love the SW! FYI - Ann Taylor has had some new changes in upper management and design. Went in there myself recently and saw quite a few cute things and Heidi Klum is their model now! Go figure!ReplyDelete

I definitely get a case of the "I wants" after reading some fabulous posts. it's so hard to keep it in check! I figure it balances out though with also being inspiring to use the things you have. All of those shoes are so fabulous though! I especially like both of the shooties/booties. Now I'm getting the "click and buy" urge on something like those gray ones.ReplyDelete
wow, ruffles on the booties work quite well! I will have to be on the look-out for them :DReplyDelete

Now, if only I could teach myself to drive in heels... I've told myself that if I ever want a very expensive pair, I will have to be able to drive in them. We'll see if that ever comes around to happening.
The Moschino are by far my favourites, soooo stunning!ReplyDelete
Love from Paris
your new shoes are so pretty....they are all so pretty and dainty!ReplyDelete
Oh, this makes me laugh. I am an enabler in a happy little blog world of fellow enablers. And I love it- because no one in my "real life" has any clue what I'm talking about when I launch into a tirade over divine ruffly pumps and Zac Posen for Target and OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DRESS?ReplyDelete
But you, my friend, get it. You GET IT. And! Those Badgley Mischka Tai pumps have been on my radar for way way way too long. I literally giggled-out-loud with glee when I saw you had posted them. ♥

When I Found You
I am continuing from my previous blog where I had mentioned a pianist/composer/arranger/producer by the name of Charles Mims, Jr., who had called me to audition for the Quincy Jones Band. (See post below.)
About a year and half later I got my second call from Charles Mims, Jr. Now, at eighteen, I am a veteran. Well, at least compared to the naive kid who got fired from the Q tour for being underage. Charles was producing Patrice Rushen's record "Patrice," which was to be her breakout recording into the R&B scene, and Charles also happened to be Patrice's boyfriend. They wanted me to come in and overdub an alto solo on the track "When I Found You," a pop ballad.
I showed up at the studio with my ax and met the very sweet and beautiful Patrice, whose smile lit up the room. After a few nostalgic words about the Q tour I didn't do, Charles handed me the chart, which was eight bars of chord changes over the A section. I had very little experience fitting into a pop vibe, being a hard-bopper at heart, but loved Dave Sanborn and Hank Crawford. So when I recorded my first pass I was trying diligently to sound like them.
"Hey, man," Charles interjected from the control room through my cans, "Sounds like you're trying too hard to sound like someone else. Just be you, man. That's why we called you." Take 2: I did my thing. Maybe too much of my thing. But it was closer. "Yeah, man. Sounds good. Let's do another." Take 3 felt pretty melodic and smooth, and I managed to sneak in a couple bebop licks.
I went into the control room. Patrice swiveled around in her chair and asked me which one I liked best and I said definitely the third. She agreed. That was that. Thirty minutes in the studio and I was back into my car.
When "Patrice" was released I ran down to Tower Records and bought a copy. Once outside the store I excitedly ripped off the cellophane and looked for how my name appeared on the jacket. Like most pop records each track had it's individual list of credits. I skimmed the list of musicians and didn't see my name. I scanned the whole record and couldn't find it anywhere. Background vocalists, finger-snappers, hand-clappers, they were all on there. Could it possibly be the worst of all scenarios: they didn't use my solo? Very likely.
When I got to my Lower East SIde railroad apartment I marched straight to the turntable and slapped the record on and dropped the needle down on "When I Found You." I listened while the flugelhorns set up the vibe. (We used to call them the "Malibu" trumpets for the imagery they created of couples walking romantically on the beach.) Patrice's voice came in and was sweet as her smile. I waited patiently as they continued through the bridge and back to the last A section. I remembered that when I recorded the solo it had started during the very last bar of the song. It was almost there. I waited, now leaning forward a little. The sax came in, and there it was, my Take 3, the keeper, the one that was most like me. Although, according to the record it was most like Kim Hutchcroft who was credited as the alto player because of his background horn work on the track. Not sure if he was happy about this error or not. Or even noticed or cared.
But I felt dejected. One of my first recordings and not even a mention. I remember writing Patrice, pointing out that I hadn't been credited and she apologized and said they would correct it on the next printing, but it never happened.
Fast forward more than thirty years. I am backstage at Chicago's Orchestra Hall in a Brooks Brothers suit, between sound check and concert with Wynton and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Cats are finishing up dinner, trying reeds, playing chess, warming up, etc. Victor Goines found a quiet moment at a spare piano, noodling around. All of sudden he plays something very familiar to me. I listen for a minute and recognize Patrice's "When I Found You." Wow, I had almost forgotten about that song.
I walked up behind Victor and I said "Patrice Rushen, right?" Victor replied without looking up, "Yeah, I used to love that song. I remember when it came out, I was a teenager." I said "Yeah, I know. I'm on it."
Victor kept voicing out the chords and melody. "What do you mean you're on it. You're on this recording?" I told him I had played the alto solo on that track. Then Victor did something that caused my jaw to hit my chest: he started singing my solo! He knew it almost as well as he knew the song. Here was eight short bars I practically forgot about, and realized it had touched someone more than three decades before. Perhaps other people felt the same way. Maybe teenagers were trying to lose their virginity with this in the background. Adult folk were having pool parties with it blaring out, loud enough for neighbors to poke their envious heads over the fence. People patted inspired rhythms with their hands on the steering wheel on the way to work. Couples were walking down the street in the late 1970s hand-in-hand, whistling my solo in unison, falling in love.
Ok, maybe I'm making too much out of this.
Anyway, Charles Mims, Jr. created a couple very unique experiences in my life, and I want to thank him, wherever he is.

Ahold Posts Higher Sales, Net Income in Q3
U.S. business buoyed by Stop & Shop New England sales increase
In its interim report for the third quarter of 2014, Ahold reported sales of 7.5 billion euros (US $9.4 billion), up 1.9 percent (1.5 percent at constant exchange rates) and net income of 178 million euros, an increase of 7.9 percent (8.5 percent at constant exchange rates).
"This quarter, we reported improved sales trends in the United States and the Netherlands, while our margin was stable versus the prior quarter, excluding the impact of the SPAR acquisition" of 49 stores for the company's Czech business, said Ahold CEO Dick Boer.
"In the United States, the rollout of our program to improve quality, service and value for our customers is progressing well," he noted. "By the end of this quarter, the program was active in over half of our stores."
Added Boer, "We expect that ongoing investments in our customer proposition and further development of our formats and assortment will continue to result in improving sales trends."
Stop & Shop Versus Market Basket
At Ahold USA, Q3 net sales were 4,501 million euros (US $5.6 billion), a 0.4 percent increase from last year. Identical-sales growth, excluding gas, was 1.2 percent, and included a sales increase that the Stop & Shop New England division effected by leveraging a business disruption at what Ahold termed "one of our main competitors" -- a veiled reference to Tewksbury, Mass.-based Market Basket, then experiencing the ultimately temporary ouster of its CEO, Arthur T. Demoulas. Even without this lift, Ahold said that the sales trend had improved for the segment.
Ahold USA's market share rose from last year, spurred by Stop & Shop New England, while market share at Giant Landover remained under pressure.
Toward the end of the quarter, Ahold USA ramped up the rollout of its aforementioned program to improve the customer proposition, which includes enhancing stores' fresh and dry grocery offerings, deploying it in all 168 stores in the Giant Landover division. The program was implemented in 181 stores across Ahold USA in Q3, bringing the overall total to 501 locations.
The company's continuing focus on its own-brand products led to a higher penetration, by 60 basis points, to 37.8 percent. According to Ahold USA, its underlying operating margin of 3.8 percent was in line with the previous quarter. It attributed the fact that the operating margin was lower than last year because of the accelerated rollout of its refreshed stores, along with commodity price increases in meat that the company chose to partly absorb.


text: Tuesday brought an upgrade to buy from hold for Kyocera ( KYO). Based out of Kyoto, Japan, the firm manufactures fine ceramic, semiconductor and telecommunications equipment worldwide. This rating change is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 23.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenue rose by 22.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving its EPS. Kyocera's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.01 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, Kyocera has a quick ratio of 2.31, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs. Net operating cash flow has increased to $382.76 million, or by 34.9% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -7.39%. Kyocera's EPS improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive EPS growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, Kyocera increased its bottom line by earning $5.66 a share, vs. $4.55 a share in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 21.2% in earnings ($4.46 a share, vs. $5.66). Kyocera had been rated a hold since Oct. 31, 2007.

Dream season ends too soon with loss to Wisconsin
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | USATSI Photo Gallery | Photo Gallery
INDIANAPOLIS -- It seemed a familiar script for Kentucky.
The Wildcats, once trailing by nine points in the first half and eight early in the second, were poised to close out another opponent in the final minutes, this time in the Final Four.
With an 8-0 run and their defense holding Wisconsin scoreless for more than six minutes, the Cats grabbed a 60-56 lead with less than five minutes remaining. They could taste a trip to the national championship game, right up until the Badgers snatched it away.
"Didn't win," junior forward Willie Cauley-Stein said. "Didn't make plays, and they did. If you don't make plays in the last five minutes, you'll lose."
And for the first time in 39 games, the Cats found out what losing felt like. Their bid for a perfect season and - more importantly - a national title came to an end with a 71-64 loss, while Wisconsin (36-3) will take on Duke on Monday for the trophy UK had so intently focused on for so long.
"Could not be more proud of this group of young people," John Calipari said. "What they did all year, just took us all on a ride, our staff, our school, our state. Took us on a ride. We all wanted to win those last two. These kids wanted to win it in the worst way. But you have to give Wisconsin credit."
The Badgers earned the credit, reeling off an 8-0 run of their own that Sam Dekker started. Next, Nigel Hayes tied the game with a put-back that narrowly beat the shot clock. It was the last of Wisconsin's 12 offensive rebounds and 13 second-chance points. For the game, the Badgers outrebounded Kentucky, 34-22, tying the Cats' largest rebounding deficit of the season.
"They played a great game," Devin Booker said. "They played a full game. The whole game they just never gave up."
Neither did UK, but the Cats simply couldn't execute well enough on offense to close it out.
After Karl-Anthony Towns scored in the post with 6:36 to go, UK had five consecutive empty possessions. The stretch included shot-clock violations on back-to-back possessions as UK appeared to look to milk the clock. On the contrary, Coach Cal says the credit goes to Wisconsin.
"We didn't slow it down," Calipari said. "We were trying to post the ball, run the pick'n rolls, the stuff we were running. They crowded a little bit, the guys got a little bit tentative. We were trying to still play. The thing that was tough is we are a finishing team, that's what we've been, and we didn't. They did and we didn't. That's why they're still playing and we're not."
Andrew Harrison, who scored 11 of his 13 points before halftime to keep the Cats in the game, tried to shoulder the blame by himself.
"That's all on me," Andrew Harrison said. "Being the point guard gotta be aware, more aware of what time it is on the clock and stuff like that."
In spite of the miscues, UK wasn't done just yet. Aaron Harrison, filling his familiar role as a crunch-time killer, drove and scored through contact. He hit the ensuing free throw to cut Wisconsin's lead to 64-63.
On the other end, national player of the year Frank Kaminsky - who had 20 points and 11 rebounds - drew a foul and made two free throws, putting UK down three with 24 seconds to go. Towns would then draw a foul of his own and make one of two free throws for the last of his 16 points, forcing UK to foul intentionally. Wisconsin would make five of six free throws to close out the upset and send the Cats to their locker room with tears in their eyes.
"It was very emotional," Ulis said. "Nobody said much. We understood we had a great season, but basically everybody understands we did it for nothing."
The way Ulis feels is surely similar to the way outsiders will remember this Kentucky team, that the Cats went on an incredible, but ultimately meaningless run. Coach Cal knows that's simply not true.
"Can't take away," Calipari said. "I know everybody is going to say, This season... This season is historic. I just can't believe anybody is going to do what these kids just did to get to this point unblemished with the schedule they played, then how they did it."
Towns was as torn up about the loss as Ulis was, but able to reflect on all this team has accomplished in spite of the sting.
"I think we should be remembered as great basketball players (and) great human beings," Towns said. "A team that shows that success is more important than individual success. Accolades don't count as much as the team success. That we all gave up a part of ourselves for each other to make a perfect mold in our minds."
That perfect mold is what makes the end of this season so devastating. For all the talk of 40-0 and a ninth national championship for UK, these Cats are more focused on the fact that they won't be together as a team again.
"The journey that we made with these guys right here--I know everybody says that they love their teammates but we really are like brothers," Andrew Harrison said. "We really do sit around, joke, laugh all day long, so I mean it sucks."
"We had a lot of fun this season," Aaron Harrison said. "One of the best times of my life. I wouldn't trade it for anything. We didn't finish like we were supposed to."

13 down and three more to go; that's all that stands in the way of the Carolina Panthers and a perfect regular season. They've won some in close nail-biters and others in blowout fashion but next up will be a matchup with the New York Giants, a team that boasts one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league.
The Giants are an interesting team; they have an offense that centers on Eli Manning getting the ball to Odell Beckham Jr., but have shown inconsistencies at times and can become one dimensional. And their defense has been one of the biggest disasters in football due to a number of key injuries on all levels as they rank last in the league. But after a big win last week and fighting for their playoff lives, this team will have a lot of fight in them.
The Panthers are looking as hot as ever after their annihilation of the Falcons, with both the offense and defense putting on a show and proving why there are some of the best in the league. But the injury bug has taken a toll on Carolina and with Jonathan Stewart sidelined, and Bene Benwikere on IR, the team will have to hope the next men up can contribute as effectively.
Staying the course and stopping a potent Giants offense will be a necessity for Carolina this Sunday. Here's what to watch for.
Replacements in the Run Game
Replacing a running back who has rushed for 989-yards (4th best in the league) and has accounted for more than 54% of the teams carries will be no easy task. But it's one that Mike Tolbert, Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne will need to accomplish if the Panthers want to maintain their balanced offensive attack.
With Stewart sitting out this week with a sprained foot, these three will man the backfield duties in a timeshare and hope to keeping things rolling with the prolific ground game of the Panthers. Head Coach Ron Rivera has said that it will likely be a committee approach this week with Whittaker or Tolbert getting the start and Artis-Payne coming in in support.
In the second half of last week's game Whittaker logged 29-snaps and rushed for 34-yards and a score and Tolbert contributed his usual snap count with six carries for 17-yards in relief of Stewart. Artis-Payne has seen just 12 rushes this season as he's been inactive for a majority of the team's games but with a timeshare likely in effect, that number should rise.
The "lead" back for this contest will likely be the one who has the hot hand and the Panthers will absolutely need one of them to do just that.
All Eyes on OBJ
The premiere matchup in this game that's drawn all the attention is the one between Josh Norman and Beckham and with them being two of the best at their respective positions it should be a battle of epic proportions.
But because of Norman's resume versus many top receivers this year (just 89-total yards) we may not even see much of the two lined up opposite each other. Norman plays the outside and won't follow any receiver into the slot and the Giants have already expressed their desire to move Beckham around to create mismatches for their big-play threat.
This means it won't just be Norman vs. Beckham, but more so the entire secondary vs. Beckham.
Losing Benwikere, a tough young corner, hurts but luckily for Carolina, veteran Charles Tillman who has been out with a knee injury for some time is set to return and should be a welcomed asset for this defense once again. Cortland Finnegan and the newly signed Robert McClain will also have a spotlight on them in the slot as they attempt to eliminate Beckham as a threat.
Safety help will also be crucial in this one but the Panthers have a valuable weapon of their own over the top in Kurt Coleman who leads the league with eight interceptions and with all the action likely to come through the air for the Giants, could add even more to that total.
Limiting Beckham will be essential for this defense and it'll be on the entire secondary to do so.
#1 vs. #32
No, this isn't a matchup between two players. What these two numbers represent is the #1 ranked scoring offense of the Panthers versus the #32 overall ranked Giants defense, which should be the real matchup that draws the attention.
The Panthers moved into the top spot this week and are scoring a league high 31.6-points per game and, behind Cam Newton's stellar play, are averaging 365.9-yards per contest. They've gotten even hotter as of late though and in the last four weeks, have outscored opponents 156-68 while averaging 39-points.
The Giants on the flip side are giving up a league worst 418.6-total yards to go with 24.6-points allowed per game. Their defense has been riddled with injuries and ineffective personnel and the opportunity is certainly there for Carolina to score in bunches.
With Newton and the offense playing so effectively, regardless of the running back situation, and New York's defense playing so inconsistent and poor, the question shouldn't be whether Carolina can contain Manning and Beckham, but rather, can the Giants contain Newton and the Panthers?

"I can't sit there anymore," Hansbrough said. "I've got to get better. It's hard to sit and watch."
Three weeks ago while running lines, he pushed off his left leg and strained his Achilles. His father, an orthopedic surgeon, is charged with getting him healthy and determining when he can come back.
In typical Tyler Hansbrough fashion, his timetable for the return is a short three days from now. "I'll probably start [rehab] tomorrow," he said. "It'll start off with aquatic therapy and then I'll start gradually making basketball cuts." Sounds like a multiple week process, right? Not according to Hansbrough. "Three days."
Whether his father signs off on that idea remains to be seen. Tyler thinks it's a blessing to have his dad in charge of his recovery. "It's good because I can talk him into letting me comeback."
If there's a more intense high school player out there we haven't seen him yet.
The ultimate competitor actually had clenched fists during the introductions because he was so pumped up. He wasn't even playing but he was prepared for the battle. Late in the game when a Poplar Bluff player fouled out, one could have almost pictured Hansbrough ripping off his sweats and checking into the game.
To find the genesis of this intensity, one has to look no further than his family. His father was a high jumper and he has an uncle who is two-time professional long drive champion.
Maybe you've clicked onto ESPN when one of those long drive exhibitions is in full swing and seen very big men tee up a golf ball, psyche themselves up, let out a few grunts and let it rip, oh 400 yards or so off the tee. Sean Fister, Tyler's uncle, is the longest driver of a golf ball in the world. His nickname? The Beast. The Florida graduate once drove a golf ball 515 yards.
Intensity, as you can plainly see, runs in the family.
Part of Hansbrough's three-day rehabilitation plan is due to the fact that North Carolina head coach Roy Williams will be in town on Monday to watch him play. Williams has been told that there's a chance he won't be able to go, but the UNC coach is expected to make the trip regardless.
Hansbrough said that he'll definitely visit three schools early. UNC, Florida and Duke are going to receive official visits. Arizona, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Michigan State are in the hunt for the other spots. A quick check of his recruiting timeline reveals that Missouri was the first to offer and that happened way back during his freshman season. Arizona was actually second.
"I kind of want to get [the decision done] early to get it over with. Then you can concentrate on getting better and not getting caught up in it all."
For Hansbrough, getting better recently consisted of getting bigger. He added 40 pounds to his frame and was all the way up to 245 before realizing it put too much strain on him so he dropped 20 extra pounds and is now comfortable at 225.
Whether or not he's ready for action on Monday remains to be seen. However, Poplar Bluff left Marshall County's Hoopfest right around midnight after the game. Hansbrough probably started rehab on the bus ride home.
Hoopfest Scoreboard
Carlisle Co. 70, Trigg Co. 64 Paducah Tilghman 54, Poplar Bluff 50
2004 Checklist
Brett Hoskins, F, Carlisle County: His 37 points made his the second-highest leading scorer in the event. He's probably not a Division I player but he'll be successful somewhere because he's tough and he can score. He battled inside for points and went 11-for-18 from the field and 12-for-15 from the line to go with 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
2006 Checklist
Jeremy Jones (left), PG, Trigg County: The 6-2 sophomore point guard scored 15 points in the loss to lead his team. He'll be a Division I player on some level. He's very fast with the basketball and wants to turn it up when he can. He made a few mid-range jumpers. His body is thin right now, but he's go a chance to be a low-to-mid level player.
News & Notes
Ben Hansbrough is Tyler's younger brother. The sophomore scored 14 points in the loss and played combo guard. … The Hoopfest lineup has been riddled with injuries. Hansbrough missed Thursday's games and more are expected to sit out on Friday, including talented junior swingman Josh Tabb of Century. … Xavier Price was supposed to play in the event but that was before he transferred from O'Fallon to Belleville West. … Oak Hill's practice drew a crowd of spectators that lined the baseline of the auxiliary gym. …

Map & Directions
Rooms & Rates
Hotel Fürstenhof is in a historic building in the centre of Leipzig. Originally built as a palatial private residence in the 1770s, it was converted into a hotel in 1889 with further alterations and restoration in the early 20th century. Its Serpentine Hall, for example, was built in 1865 as a grand dining room complete with an ornate fireplace and decorative panelling carved from serpentine.
The hotel featured in The Daily Telegraph's guide to the best weekend breaks in Leipzig. It is well placed for shopping, and the elegant Mädler-Passage arcade, which is home to high-end boutiques and cafés, is less than a kilometre away. Leipzig Hauptbahnhof, the city's central railway station, is around a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Many of Leipzig's key attractions, including the Bach Museum, the Market Square (Markt) and the Museum der bildenden Künste, are also within walking distance.
Back at the hotel, the AquaMarin Spa Leipzig has extensive facilities including a heated pool, a Finnish sauna, a Roman steam bath and a fully equipped gym. There's a pool bar, plus the Cardea Spa, which offers a range of relaxing massages and beauty treatments.
The high-ceilinged Restaurant Villers offers a seasonally changing menu of regional and international dishes. There are more than 100 wines to choose from at Vinothek 1770, the hotel's smart wine bar. There's also a comfortable bar and lounge with live piano music, plus a terrace for al fresco drinks and dining in summer. In keeping with a building of this age, many of the bedrooms have high ceilings and large windows. The majority of the air-conditioned Classic rooms overlook the hotel's inner courtyard, while some higher category rooms have extras such as balconies and Nespresso coffee machines.

No jail for man who robbed €25,000 of equipment from apartment
A 20-year-old man who was part of a group that kicked in the door of an apartment to steal €25,000 worth of photography equipment and personal belongings has avoided jail.
Dale Byrne took a €900 guitar and expensive bicycle.
He left the guitar in a flower bed as he did not want to be seen carrying it but was captured on CCTV in the area a few days later riding the bike.
Byrne of Dolphin House, Rialto, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to burglary at Herberton Street, Rialto on March 17, 2015. He has no previous convictions.
Gardai identified the group of up to six individuals from CCTV as they carried off the stolen items which have never been recovered. The homeowners did not have their stolen belongings insured.
Some days later Byrne was seen by the homeowner riding the bicycle in the area. He was later arrested after being spotted by Garda Kevin Lawless on the street wearing the exact same clothes as he had been during the burglary.
Gda Lawless told Joseph Barnes BL, prosecuting, that major force was used to enter the apartment and a significant amount of specialised equipment was taken, along with two bicycles and the guitar.
He said Byrne had co-operated with gardai on arrest and had not come to further attention.
Luigi Rea BL, defending, said Byrne was unemployed and abusing street drugs at the time.
He said Byrne had moved from Tallaght to Dolphins Barn where he found himself out of his depth. He had met up with others and "misbehaved." He said Byrne was not aware of the value of the items and could not have carried out this offence alone.
Mr Rea said Byrne was now behaving himself, did not have a drug problem and was unlikely to come before the courts again. He said there were training courses available to him if he was in a position to take them up.
He said Byrne accepted what he did was wrong and that he caused immeasurable loss to the victims.
Judge Martin Nolan imposed a two and a half year sentence which he suspended in full on strict conditions including 18 months probation supervision.

Considering the importance of solid secondary players in Rich Rodriguez's system and the fact that a few key contributors are graduating next year, it comes as no surprise that he is looking to replenish the defensive backfield.
One of the top candidates to help Rodriguez do that is Reserve (La.) East St. John safety Antonio Parks.
Parks is currently looking at three schools and has some thoughts on each possible destination.
"Arizona really has some good things going on right now," Parks said. "They are getting better each season and on top of that they are looking for guys in the secondary, which is scary because they already have a really good secondary. Their system is very intriguing.
"I like Clemson for some of the same reasons that I like Arizona. Clemson produces good pros and it seemed like they are incredibly close to breaking through. When their defensive coordinator called me and told me they liked my game, I was just blown away.
"Southern Miss is also a school that I'm going to visit. They were on me early and they are trying to get even better. When you look at the guys they are recruiting, it's not one and two star guys they are going after, but really good players."
The next month will be incredibly important for Parks.
"I want to get to all three in roughly the next month," Parks said. "I will decide sometime in mid July.
"By then I will have looked at all three schools on my list and I should have a pretty good idea of where I want to go."

I disagree about the guns ruining the experience. Some, if not most, of my favourite games and fictional worlds mix it up great. Arcanum has already been mentioned, and Wizardy. How about the Sphere in Baldurs Gate, that was one of the most interesting quests (although i admit there weren't guns around). And Star Wars should probably classify as Fantasy too right? (Some would like to say science fiction, but I don't think that's correct.)
To me, I would actually say that it adds to the immersion and the feeling of "another world" when it's just not medieval weapons and magic, but more…weird. Planescape Torment anyone? Now that's NOT generic Fantasy.

Black Knight Financial Services (BKFS) released their Mortgage Monitor report for May today. According to BKFS, 4.25% of mortgages were delinquent in May, down from 4.91% in May 2015. BKFS also reported that 1.13% of mortgages were in the foreclosure process, down from 1.59% a year ago.This gives a total of 5.38% delinquent or in foreclosure.Press Release: Black Knight's Mortgage Monitor: Tappable Equity Rose by $260 Billion in Q1 2016, 425,000 Borrowers Out from Underwater on Mortgages
Today, the Data & Analytics division of Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. released its latest Mortgage Monitor Report, based on data as of the end of May 2016. This month, the Mortgage Monitor leveraged data from the Black Knight Home Price Index to revisit the U.S. equity landscape in light of 48 consecutive months of annual home price appreciation (HPA). As Black Knight Data & Analytics Executive Vice President Ben Graboske explained, the impact can be observed in terms of both levels of tappable equity available to borrowers as well as the continuing reduction in the number of borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth.

Jamaica Plain is a neighborhood of 4.4 square miles (11 km2) in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Founded by Boston Puritans seeking farm land to the south, it was originally part of the town of Roxbury. The community seceded from Roxbury as a part of the new town of West Roxbury in 1851, and became part of Boston when West Roxbury was annexed to Boston in 1874. In the 19th century, Jamaica Plain became one of the first streetcar suburbs in America and home to a significant portion of Boston's Emerald Necklace of parks, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. According to the 2010 Census, it had a population of 37,468.

Growing up as a twin is the most special thing in the world.
Being a twin means having someone to laugh with, talk to and receive advice from 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also means having a second half, a better half and a built-in best friend.
See Also
But no one knows the significance of being a twin until the other is bullied.
In middle and high school, I was the bullied twin, and my brother Joseph was my only friend at school for a long time.
Although he could not be with me every waking minute on the playground, in between classes, at lunch and all other times I was bullied, one thing is for sure, Joseph and I entered and exited school together as team twin.
For the first few minutes stepping onto school grounds every day, I wasn't alone, and while I was harassed on the bus, I had my brother to sit next to.
You could say I had an advantage that, unfortunately, not all bullied kids have.
Being a twin meant not only to never be alone in the suffering, but it also meant to always stick together.
As a bullying victim, I developed several severe health conditions, including a stress cough and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and had to transfer middle schools. When the bullying continued into high school, I had to transfer schools again.
But where I went, my best friend — or "twiend" as he calls it — came, too.
That meant my brother transferred schools with me — not once, but twice.
Twice Joseph had to clear out his desk, pack up his books and say goodbye to his schools and everything he had achieved there.
Twice he had to meet new teachers, make new friends and start over mid-school year, even though he wasn't the one being harassed.
But even though his entire life was disrupted, he never once complained. He never even asked my parents to stay at the old schools. He never left his bullied twin to start over alone.
Given his kind nature, I couldn't have expected any less from him.
Growing up, Joseph was always an unusually sweet and kind-hearted brother.
While other brothers name-called, excluded or humiliated their sisters, mine never did.
We shared the same friends all
throughout grammar school, and he never seemed to mind when I insisted on digging holes and climbing trees with his friends.
To him, I was his best friend, and to me, he was mine.
Joseph was, and always will be, the antithesis of bullying.
As a kid, he cried when animals were mistreated, and he treated humans with unsurpassed love and compassion.
He never made fun of me or my sister at home — and in fact, he never made fun of anyone at all. I have never once heard him gossip, disrespect or belittle anyone in all my years.
My twin is nothing but good and kind to his family and everyone he meets.
By the superficial high school standard, he may have easily looked down upon others and treated them less than they deserved.
All throughout high school, he competed in wrestling and placed third in a state wrestling tournament his sophomore year. But despite his success on the mat and in the classroom, he never fought others.
He never laughed at them, called them names or excluded them either.
Instead of using his power as a wrestler to devalue others, he always built them up and humbly sat back and let them shine.
In my eyes, Joseph is one of the greatest examples of anti-bullying that I know.
Aug. 10 marked 23 years of life with this sweet, compassionate human being that I am proud to call my twin.
For always sticking by my side in school and for his wonderful example of anti-bullying, I will forever be grateful.
Happy birthday, Joseph. Thanks for being my better half.

Now that DK is back from reservist, finally, and I'm off duty from producing 65bits, we're back again with the next episode of DigressCast. This DigressCast Episode is a little special. To make up for the loss of episodes while DK was on reservist, we did 3 episodes of DigressCast almost back to back. Alright then, without letting you wait further, our latest digression. Seriously, I have no idea how to write any show notes because we kept jumping from topics to topics and back again.
So sit back, and enjoy.

RE: Stanley
Linda, you sent me a message on 4 Sept, 2015 asking about Stanley family in Kaufman County, TX. I did not find any connection in my tree at the time. I can't find that message in my Trash.
I've recently matched on 23andMe to a Stanley descendant who found our line back to very early England. I would like to get in touch with them again, if you still have access to their address.

Mason Cordelia Norwood Harwell #53261753 is a duplicate of #7949603, which was added first by Ken Norwood, and should be deleted. We have some other duplicates in this cemetery, which I am trying to get deleted, as findagrave does not approve duplicates and it also causes mix-ups along the way. Thank you.

Trout in Almonds Sauce – Croatian Way
Be the first to review
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by nitko
This is northern Croatian recipe. In Mediterranean part they put garlic on trout (they put garlic on everything) but garlic as a very strong spice damages the delicate trout taste. Almond sauce is my invention, but as you can see, there is not much to invent. This gentle flavour combines very nicely.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1000 g trout (usually 4x250 g trout fish)
- 1 cup cornflour
- salt
- 20 g almonds
- 40 g butter
- 100 ml brandy
- 200 g cream (cooking cream)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley leaves (sliced)
Directions See How It's Made
- In order to prevent trout's to be slimy, after you clean them, cover them with salt and leave them for 1 hour or to become white. (Salt extracts liquid).
- Wipe trout's with paper towel and cover them with corn flour.
- Fry trout's on butter (add some oil to prevent butter burn).
- When they are done on one side (if you have space in a pot) add cleaned almonds (white), or you can remove all trout's aside to hot place and than fry almonds until get brow.
- Add brandy, flambé it and add cream and mix well.
- Pour the sauce over trout's.
- Serve with cooked potato.

If self-made millionaire Grant Cardone could give his younger self one piece of advice, it would be to skip the home purchase.
"I bought a house when I was 30 years old," Cardone tells CNBC. Looking back, "I would never buy one."
Houses are "traps that prevent people from ever having enough,"Cardone writes on his blog. "Sold as the American dream is more like the American nightmare where people can't move, don't ever truly own and must continue to spend to keep."
While many people think of real estate as an asset or an investment, it should be considered a liability, Cardone says.
At the end of the day, owning a home takes money out of your pocket:mortgage payments, property taxes, and repairs are just a few of the many expenses that come with home-ownership.
He's not the only one to challenge the notion that a home is an asset.
In personal finance classic "Rich Dad Poor Dad," author Robert Kiyosaki emphasizes that homes should be considered a liability, as they'reexpensive and don't always go up in value.
"I am not saying don't buy a house. What I am saying is that you should understand the difference between an asset and a liability," Kiyosaki writes. "When I want a bigger house, I first buy assets that will generate the cash flow to pay for the house."
Of course, depending on your individual situation, you may be better off buying than renting, and it's important to weigh the pros and consof home-ownership before making such a weighty decision.
But to Cardone, the choice is simple. His stance is, "Unless you have 20 million bucks in the bank, in cash, you have no business buying a house."
ardone became a self-made millionaire with the establishment of five companies and the creation of million-dollar wealth in the age of 30. However, before that, he was in debt and in drug addiction.
This man shared his current success has been greatly influenced from his mother's advice.
"She once said that the best investment is an investment in yourself. It will always take you back after each failure. No one can take it away. It is yours" Cardone said.

how to make mail art from everything/
It's easy it is to pull together bits of all sorts of things, attach them here + there without a plan and make mail art!
Two things are pushing this burst of mail art. First, of course, Hanna's swap! And second, I've been reading Good Mail Day: A Primer for Making Eye-Popping Postal Art. Mail art is such a pure and wonderful art form. It is made to give away, sent off to points far and near and appears in a friend's mail box through the magic of the postal service. I think it would be easy to utilize the ideas from this book to transform your art journal into something very wild and free. Get your mind off the end result and just start putting stuff out there.

Author has written 13 stories for Full House, Naruto, Avatar: Last Airbender, Lurlene McDaniel, Ouran High School Host Club, Harry Potter, and Prince of Tennis.
Wow you know it's been too long since i've visited fanfiction when my profile says i'm 13 years old...THIRTEEN!!!!!! I am now currently 20 years old and fanfiction has gone a long way since then...i can't believe i started fanfiction when i was 13...
Hi, my name is Kathy and i am 13 years old. I'm Korean/American and proud to be one. I love Korean Dramas because, i just do. I can speak english and korean fluently, although, english is my first language. also, lately i've been feeling generous so if you want a part in the korean drama to be translated into english, then contact me and i'll do the best i can.
Lately i've been interested in this play called TENIMYU. If you know prince of tennis, you'll liek this, otherise, you'll be like 'wtf?' if you have any questions about his play, feel free to ask.
I love Naruto, Fruits Basket, Kare Kano, CCS, and more. I chose this pen name because well, basically CCS was the first manga that i read. It got me into the anime world. The way i see it the anime has three levels.
Level one: you are not really an anime fan. You just came upon one and you like the book.
Level two: You have read some mangas and you have begun to like anime as a regular enjoyment.
Level three: You are in LOVE with anime and can't live without it. Anime has become a part of your everyday life. It has become a part of you.
When i first read CCS, i was in level one, and after that, i slowly became a level three. but now, i'm starting to come out of it. The way i see it, anime is like a swimming pool. you first step in tentavely, then you are awed at all the new things you'e never seen before. you go further and further in. level three is like when you are at the deepest point in the water. However, you'll have to come up sometime, and well, i'm starting to come up.
My favorite animes are: Prince of Tennis, Naruto, Fruits Basket, Kodocha, Full Metal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club, Hana Kimi, Tsubasa, Card Captor Sakura, Hikaru no go, Full Moon Wo Sagashite, Kare Kano, Alice 19th, Flame of Recca, Hot Gimmick, Imadoki, Tokyo Mew Mew, Marmalade Boy, Minto na Bokura, Miracle Girls, Detective School Q, and a lot more but i can't seem to remeber their names.
Also i have an unhealthy obsession for vampires. It started when i read Twilight, by stephanie Meyer. Edward is soooooo hot! i love him! Yea, as you noticed i like anything that is hot. Even if they are evil. i don't really believe in that, "everyone is good deep inside" crap but i do belive they at least have a heart.
in Harry Potter, the house i would most benefit in is Slytherin. Why? for one, power draws me over, another thing is that the qualities in that house suit me. I am VERY ambitious, and power hungry. (Not in the evil way though) Also if there was a choice, i wouldn't be on the evil or light side, cause although i am not very proud of this, i would choose the winning side cause i'm a sore loser. (lol)
Anyways...things that annoy me:
People who think that they are never wrong, the key word here is THINK, or something along that line.
People who never make a point to take care of thier personal higeyne. cuz frankily, they stink even though no one has the heart to tell them.
People who lie. (I know, i know, everyone lies, but i still don't like it even if i'm being a hypocrite.)
People who are nice to my face, but bitch about me late...i really hate that.
uh... i can't think of any more right now so i'll update more later.
I'm interested in another anime now though, its called Princess, princess. I know, the title just puts it off. I thought it was about some princess and yadda, yadda, yadda, but it's really not. Seriously, it's a pretty good series. i've only watched the anime so i don't really know about the manga, but it's a good series. My favorite charater is Kouno, Tooru. So hot. Bishonens!!!
so, yea, i just got fangirly there...ahem
Favorite pairings:
NarutoxHinata (so cute!!)
well, for this, i don't really have a favorite pairing really. cuz frankily, they all suck. no offense J.K. Rowling (SP??) so, maybe an OC, but only if its really good.
Fruits Basket:
KisaxHiro (This one is so cute!!)
I absolutely HATE, HATE, HATE YukixTohru!!!! Or with any other characters. Cuz he's mine!!!!!!! LOL. JK. But he really is my favorite character and i hate any pairings that they have with him.
SakuraxLi (That's a no brainer...they deserve each other.)
SakuraxEriol (I think it's kinda cute...)
ChiharuxTakeshi (They're so cute...Like an old couple.)
I don't get what the big deal is about mary-sues...I personally don't hate them, but i don't like them either. I try to make my characters less Mary-sue, but as you can see from my writing, i clearly failed. However, the only way your character will not seem Mary-sue is if she's ugly. and frankily, i don't think anyone would want their characters ugly. I definately don't. But if you don't describe her like for example : "Her beautiful, blond hair flowing gently in the wind", or "Her eyes were like green emeralds, shining clearly like a gem." Try to describe her naturally, as the story progresses.
Also, if you want to, can someone help me with my stories? My stories are always half baked. I get an inspiration and start a story, but after a couple of chapter, or even after the first chapter, I give up.

By Patrick O'Driscoll, USA TODAY
DENVER The nation's only jumbo jet used to fight wildfires is set to return to duty next week after a near-catastrophic brush with treetops in California last month.
Whether the former American Airlines DC-10 and other "supertankers" become regular weapons in the USA's firefighting arsenal will depend on whether the planes' owners can convince federal land agencies they are safe and effective.
"No other place in the world is utilizing aircraft like this — transport-category aircraft designed and built to haul cargo and people — for this mission," says Pat Norbury, national aviation manager for the U.S. Forest Service. "We're not saying we can't develop new strategies or new tactics for this new tool but you have got to first know what can it do."
Officials in the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, think so.
"I can't wait to get it back in service," says Mike Padilla, CalFire's head of aviation, which has a three-year, $5 million contract to use Tanker 910, as the plane is known.
Converted to carry fire retardant, the jetliner had flown 26 successful West Coast missions since last summer, thenwas grounded after the June 25 accident. Its left wing clipped several tall trees as it worked a wildfire near Tehachapi, about 75 miles north of Los Angeles. It flew back safely for repairs.
"We've been very happy with it, the accident notwithstanding," Padilla says.
Tanker 910 and an even bigger Boeing 747-200 jet have yet to win approval to fight fires on federal lands, though. Discussions continue with the owners of both aircraft but the deliberative process means neither is expected to get the federal go-ahead before next year, at the earliest.
Attempts to put wide bodies into fire service come as the parched West endures another wildfire season. They also come as the present contract fleet of large air tankers, with up to 2,500-gallon capacities, has shrunk dramatically after two fatal crashes five years ago.
The 2002 fire season began with 46 large tankers. This year, there are 19. Fire agencies try to take up the slack with smaller tankers and helicopters. But some wildfire strategists say the ability to lay down a significant amount of fire retardant in an inferno's path is still a tactic only large aircraft can perform.
LATEST BLAZE:Wildfires whip through West
"There's no aircraft to replace all those that were grounded permanently," says Tony Morris of the Wildfire Research Network, a Los Angeles-based advocacy group. "We've got to figure out where the (new) planes are going to come from, because we're going to find ourselves with more wildfires, more intense wildfires and more acres burning."
For decades the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and other federal and state agencies fought fire with converted warplanes, some more than 50 years old. But in 2002, two crashes exposed problems with aging aircraft. In mid-June of that year, a C-130 Hercules broke apart fighting a fire near Yosemite National Park in California, killing three crewmembers.
One month later, a PB4Y tanker, converted from the Navy version of the World War II B-24 bomber, crashed on a wildfire near Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, killing two pilots.
Structural fatigue, not pilot error or engine failure, was cited in both tragedies.
A special federal panel convened that year labeled the safety record for air tankers "abysmal," with 136 crew deaths since the late 1950s. Most of the fleet was grounded, some of the planes permanently. Tankers returned to service only after rigorous reinspections and new maintenance protocols.
Rick Hatton, managing partner of 10 Tanker Air Carrier, the company that owns the DC-10, says "it is close to certain we will have it back (next) week." The 747, operated by Oregon-based Evergreen International Aviation, is now in cargo service as the company seeks federal certification. It can dump about 21,000 gallons of firefighting fluid, seven times the amount in the largest conventional tanker.
Norbury says her agency is working with both owners toward approvals. But the process is slow because the National Transportation Safety Board "put the onus" for safety on the Forest Service, not on the companies that provide its firefighting aircraft.
"Folks love to throw rocks at the bureaucracy, but the 2002 accidents were tragic and a huge blow to this agency," says Norbury of the Forest Service.
Large air tankers don't drop their load directly on flames. They dump fire retardant ahead of or to the sides of a blaze to help ground crews surround and control it. That role, Padilla says, is the jumbo jets' greatest strength.
Tanker 910 carries 12,000 gallons of fire retardant in belly-mounted tanks that can lay down a buffer of retardant up to three-quarters of a mile long.
Still, Padilla says he understands Norbury and the Forest Service's caution.
"It's to their credit that they're being cautious about it," he said. "But they're a much bigger organization than we are. We don't throw caution to the wind, either, but we can introduce technology without having to go through bureaucracies here."

Germany is in turmoil and is in the brink of a terrifying period of violence and civil strife since Adolf Hitler's Nazi days as EU migrants floods into Germany.
The massive number of migrants from war torn Middle East , including Syria swarming into the open doors of Germany has ignited a "neo-Nazi revival" that could trigger anarchy.
Police are confronted with angry civilians targeting refugees in brutal attacks. Angela Merkel's open door policy has reach to limit that is not anymore acceptable to the German citizenry.
The ganging scenario is a spectacle that resembles the 1930's Third Reich as protesters runs into battle with desperate migrants and their supporter journalists and politicians.
Even the respected German news magazine Der Spiegel has liken the present threat as a "relapse to the time of the Weimar Republic when political confrontations hit Germany after WWI, leading to the rise of Hitler.
There is an increase in hostilities attributed to right-wing extremist movements. Riots, rallies and even physical violence are everywhere. Neo-Nazi mobs tracked down and beat migrants in the street in the last few days.
A Morrocan and Libyan were beaten by 25 neo Nazis in Pirna near Dresden on Friday. In the northern city of Wismar and Magdeburg, outside Berlin, Syrians were battered with baseball bats over the weekend in separate incidents.
A new-Nazi madman stabbed one moderate politician in the throat, making by a German magazine to write "The hate is back."
Germany offers refuge to an expected 1.5 million migrants in 2015 alone, while other EU member states refuse to take in any refugee.
The very recent official statistics released by the EU border agency Frontex numbered the migrants arriving in Europe up to 710,000 so far this year.
This shocking number according to a British politician results from Germany's controversial "open arms welcoming" policy.
