Retirement village operator
It will also allow the group to cut debt in Retirement Villages Group, in which FKP has a 21 per cent stake.
Metlifecare's chairman and FKP chief executive,
"The combined entity is stronger than the parts," Mr Brown said.
The transactions were funded by the issue of 51.5 million new ordinary shares to shareholders of Private Life Care and Vision.
As sole owner of Prime Life Care, RVG received 30.5 million Metlifecare shares in exchange for 100 per cent of Prime Life Care.
Vision was 68 per cent owned by private equity funds managed by Goldman Sachs and 32 per cent owned by private shareholders in Arrow International Group. Those investors received 21 million Metlifecare shares for 100 per cent of Vision.
The Vision investors have also agreed to subscribe for 4.2 million new Metlifecare shares, at $NZ2.40 each, raising $NZ10 million ($7.8 million) for Metlifecare, which would be used to repay debt.
Metlifecare will then refinance debt within Prime Life Care and Vision using existing debt facilities.
Metlifecare was 82 per cent owned by RVG until the New Zealand company completed a $NZ40 million equity capital raising and $NZ59.2 million secondary sale of existing shares in November, which diluted RVG's ownership to 51 per cent.
RVG's stake in the consolidated group would increase to 53 per cent as a result of the transactions but Mr Brown said it would sell 16.5 million shares to retail investors through a documented process, reducing its holding to about 43 per cent.
That would release $NZ39.6 million to RVG which would be used to fully repay one of the two tranches of debt that the vehicle had outstanding.
Analysts had expressed concerns over the level of debt that RVG was carrying and said it would be pleasing if it could be reduced.
"It will bring the debt [in RVG] down to much more manageable levels," Mr Brown said.
The transactions follow a review by Goldman Sachs of Metlifecare's operations, which was initiated mid-last year when the company was under pressure with high debt levels.
In Australia, FKP Property Group is also reviewing its structure, with the results of the review expected within weeks.
As well as through RVG, FKP owns retirement villages on its balance sheet and through a separate business Forest Place Group.
One analyst said the consolidation was not surprising as the business needed to be simplified to attract potential buyers from overseas.

VENICE, Fla. - If you have been out and about lately, you may have noticed there are a lot more people in the area. The Suncoast is nearing the height of tourism season, and the brutal winter up north is perhaps bringing even more than normal.
In case it slipped by you....it's been cold around much of the country. "With the wind chill it was minus 20's," says Chicago resident Sean Neuman. 20 hours later, he is on the Suncoast soaking up the rays. "The cold definitely played a role in the decision. It was a last minute decision to just get in the car and drive down."
Sean isn't alone.
"The season is definitely here. We are getting really busy," says Justin Pachota, co-owner of Sharky's on the Pier in Venice.
February and March are typically busy times, but right now it seems more so. An example was the line outside Sharky's Restaurant Tuesday morning. Pachota can't help but notice the hundreds of people lining the beach, too. "I think over the last few years the beaches have started to get a little more crowded. Venice Beach is growing in popularity."
The jetties and downtown Venice are seeing their share, too. The good news is it's good for the local economy.
Governor Rick Scott recently touted that for every 85 visitors, one job is created.
"We added over 120 jobs from last year to this year," says Pachota.
"It's busy. I don't think that I've ever seen it this busy," says Venice resident Rich Lubanski.
The bad news is it can put a major strain on just about everything. Locals like Lubanski have noticed the roadways, bridges, and parking lots are feeling a little tight. "There has got to be a saturation level. At some point you have to build more bridges and more roads or something. It's a big undertaking."
A record of nearly 95 million people visited Florida last year -- a 3.5% increase from the year before.
Where will it stop? Not with Sean. "Heaven…this is as good as it gets."

A Brief Arrest at Cabinda That Showed Some Progress
The rebel attack late last week that killed at least two Togo soccer officials that had been headed for the tournament in Cabinda underscores the challenges Angolan democracy faces.
I had already had an early warning of those challenges a month earlier, when I was briefly detained for photographing the very same stadium the soccer officials were headed for.
I had arrived in Cabinda to visit an offshore platform over one of...

- Dogs are truly more than just mans best friend, they are our children, companions, and deffinately members of the family. My prayers go out to You, your Family, and beloved Rusty. May he be playing in the snow of heaven! God Bless.
- Dec 29, 2010 at 7:36 am
- So sorry to hear of your loss, especially at this time.
My thoughts are with you and yours.
- Dec 27, 2010 at 8:58 pm
- Wow. Pets are more than just animals some times. My dad's horse that he had for over 20 years starved himself to death and had to be put down about 6 months after my dad died. He grieved himself to death. He never lifted his head again after my dad's death. He lead our procession at the funeral and that was it. My brother tried to take care of him, but he wasn't having it.
- Dec 27, 2010 at 7:11 pm
- Rusty is with a lot of his dog friends in heaven and chewing on a bone.
God Bless

- i agree i think a new dog would bring back some joy shortly after our old heeler died my sister came running home with a little australian shephard puppy and hes really helped
- Dec 27, 2010 at 9:00 am
- I am very sorry to hear about your loss. We had to have our childhood dog put to sleep on Christmas Eve many years ago. She was a 14 year old Dachshund and her kidneys failed. It made for a tough holiday to say the least. At least you know he is no longer suffering and that you did the right thing. I hope you have a Happy New Year and don't wait too long to let another dog into your life, they bring so much joy and unconditional love. Who among us couldn't use some of that?
- Dec 27, 2010 at 8:13 am
- Pretty dog
- Dec 27, 2010 at 6:35 am
- He was a big boy! I know he'll be badly missed . . . take comfort in knowing that you gave him a good life and much love.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 8:45 pm
- We too have an aging dog(Elmo) he is showing his age and we too DREAD the day we have to make that decision! It is never easy and our hearts go out to you and your family! But remember Rusty will be waiting at the GATE for you ready to show you around when meet again!
- Dec 26, 2010 at 7:50 pm
- It's always sad to lose a family member.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 7:46 pm
- So sorry you lost a member of your family. Have solace in knowing that you were there to comfort Rusty when it was his time to go, and he was able to fall asleep without pain. I am truly sorry for your loss.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 7:26 pm
- they do become a big part of the family ,sorry to here you lost him.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 6:51 pm
- He was bigger than he looked in the other pictures!
It's always hard to lose someone who's such a part of our lives, whether that someone has two legs or four. We lost our Chocolate Lab CoCo nearly three years ago due to old age - She was 13 years old - and our beloved 16 year old cat Agatha just last month. Aggie was failing for some time, having been blind for the last year of her life, but she was still capable of giving and receiving love - and of mooching for food! - right up until a couple of weeks before the end.
The decision to end a pet's suffering is one of the hardest for anyone to make but in the long run, in cases like this it's the right one. Rusty isn't suffering anymore; he's up in doggie heaven running and romping and having a good old time. And waiting for you to join him when that time comes.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 6:38 pm
- Very sad and sorry for your loss. May the years ahead bring much happiness.
- Dec 26, 2010 at 5:54 pm
- So sorry for your loss. They are really like our kids you know... Sometimes they make us crazy, but we sure miss them when they are not around. My little guy "Spike" is 12 this year, in failing health also, going blind and having heart & liver problems. Not looking forward to losing him. Take comfort in your memories. Below link to rainbow bridge poem:

- Dec 26, 2010 at 5:29 pm
- Sorry to hear about your loss friend... God bless Rusty, and help you all come to terms with his passing. Rusty is with the lord now, and feeling no pain at his side. I wish you all the best!

" Minster Yard, Lincoln. Tel: +44 (0)1522 544 544. Admission: free, donations welcome. "
No visitor to Lincoln can fail to see its Cathedral, which along with Lincoln Castle dominates the town and both of these impressive landmarks can be seen from many miles around.
Construction of the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, to give it its full title, began in 1092 although it was not until 1311 that it was completed. At that time it was not only the tallest building in Britain but the tallest building in the world and remained so for the next 200 years. It originally stood 525 feet (160 metres) tall but during the 16th century disaster struck and the main tower collapsed, which was never rebuilt. Today Lincoln's Cathedral stands just a measly 271 feet (83 metres) high. In fact Lincoln Cathedral has seen its fair share of disasters and has also survived an earthquake and a serious fire.
Lincoln Cathedral is located right in the centre of the historic town and is not really something that you would struggle to find as it is well sign-posted from the corner of all of the narrow, cobbled streets.
I visited Lincoln Cathedral at the beginning of December 2007. My main reason for visiting Lincoln was for the Christmas Market but since both the Castle and the Cathedral are all very close to one another it is actually possible to visit all three attractions at the same time. Prior to this visit I had only ever been here once before, although I was quite young and I don't remember a great deal about it.
There is a charge to enter Lincoln Cathedral, something that I found quite surprising, although this charge is seemingly justified by the fact that the upkeep of this place is £50,000 per week.
The current admission charges are:
Adults - £4.00
Concessions - £3.00
Children (aged 5-16) - £1.00
Children under 5 - Free
When you enter the Cathedral and part with your money you are given a leaflet but tour guide books cost a further £3.95 so it can work out to be quite an expensive visit. There are also a number of different guided tours that can be taken including floor tours, roof tours and tower tours. These take place at various different times throughout the week but usually have to be arranged in advance because they do fill up quickly. I visited on Sunday when no guided tours take place. Photography is allowed inside the cathedral providing that it is not for commercial use.
The first two things that struck me about Lincoln Cathedral close up was its huge size and also the fact that it looked very white and clean.
With such a grand exterior one would expect something quite spectacular inside and it has to be said that I was not disappointed. There is plenty to see inside other than the standard items that you would expect like the stained glass windows and fancy gold ornate decorations. If you are visiting for the first time a guided tour or a tour guide book would be useful but I was fortunate to be with a friend that once worked as a tour guide in Lincoln as she pointed out many of the main features to me.
The Angel Choir and Shrine to St Hugh was one of the items that was pointed out to me. This is small chapel or to describe it another way it is small a church within the Cathedral. This is also the area where the Lincoln Imp is to be found although hunting it down is still a bit of a challenge. There are many different myths and legends associated with the Lincoln Imp but my favourite one is that the Devil sent two mischievous imps to do evil work on Earth. They caused destruction all across England and eventually turned up in Lincoln Cathedral where they regularly tripped up the Bishop and smashed tables and chairs. Then one day an Angel turned one of the imps to stone but the other one escaped.
After the Angel Choir and Shrine to St Hugh the imposing West Front was pointed out with its Romanesque Frieze. I also saw the tomb of Katherine Swynford and the breathtaking stained glass windows of the Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Lincoln Cathedral but due to the cost it is probably somewhere that I would not be in a big rush to visit again.
The Cathedral is open during the following times.
Monday to Friday from 7.15am until 8pm
Saturday and Sunday from 7.15am until 6pm
Monday to Friday from 7.15am until 6pm
Saturday and Sunday from 7.15am until 5pm
Lincoln Cathedral has dominated the skyline of Lincoln for over 900 years and has survived fire, earthquake and collapsed towers in its lifetime. As it is literally a stones throw from the fantastic Lincoln Castle, it is possible to do both attractions and visit some of Lincolns shops and bars on a day trip. Lincoln Cathedral was, amazingly, the worlds tallest building for a period of 250 years until 1549.
Entry to the Cathedral costs £4 with £3 concessions available for people on benefits and children age 5-16 pay only £1. Annual passes are also available for those who live locally, for an affordable £15.
It might not feel quite right to have to pay to enter a place of worship, but it costs £50,000 per week to keep the Cathedral open for visitors and to maintain it. At least it is a reasonably affordable entry fee that will not put too many people off entering whether singles or families.
Interestingly when you pay your admission you are simply given a leaflet with the day of the week on the front, and this leaflet apparently lets you re-enter the Cathedral as many times as you want. Im not sure if this means they lose revenue as it would seem very easy to give your ticket to someone on the way out, giving them a free entry. It was a little strange to say the least.
You can also sign up for a roof tour, which looked fascinating although we did not attempt it. You need to be physically fit, as it involves over 300 stairs and numbers are limited per tour so pre booking is essential.
We did opt to pay more for a self guided Audio Tour, which was available for an extra £1 per head. I have done a few of this kind of tour lately and I have generally found them to be a good way of finding out more about a place than simply walking around and referring to a pamphlet.
The Audio tour lasted around 45 minutes but there were plenty of option extra recordings over and beyond that, giving more information on the history and architecture of the Cathedral.
With its front doors facing to the West, its transepts, the fantastic church within a church that is St Hughs choir and the Cloister and Chapter House, Lincoln Cathedral is an impressive building. It wasnt always this large though. William the Conqueror decided the cathedral of the diocese should be removed from nr Oxford to Lincoln, where the castle had already been established. The building was consecrated in 1092. That Cathedral was not as long as the present cathedral, and indeed its towers were nowhere near as tall.
Fairly early on in its life, a mere 50 years later the Cathedral was thought to have been damaged during the civil war between King Stephen and Matilda. The cathedral was lovingly restored and the wooden roof of the nave was most likely replaced with stone at this time, the two west towers at the entry door were also added.
Tragedy struck again with an earthquake in 1185 and once again there was extensive work carried out. The Cathedral increased in size somewhat considerably, with the addition of the second transept, the cloisters and Chapter House and the style became more gothic.
Around the 14th century more work took place, shaping the Cathedral to how it looks today. Both the West Towers and the central tower were heightened considerably, and the Angel Choir was added to the East Face and was consecrated in 1280.
The audio tour divides the cathedral up into 9 distinct areas. One of the biggest attractions in the Nave is the 12th century marble font. Rather larger than the one I remember in the church of my childhood, the font is decorated with mythical creatures representing good and evil, as a reminder that baptism begins with a cleansing. Just off the Nave is the Morning Chapel, where visitors are reminded to enter quietly. While dating from a period much more recent than the Cathedral itself I particularly liked the Stations of the Cross, carved in wood by William Fairbanks, and had a very modern contemporary feel. These are a long term loan to the Cathedral from the sculptor and represent seven years work.
The North and South Transepts meet under the Central Tower of the Cathedral. Here the stunning Rose Windows the Deans Eye and the Bishops Eye - dominate this area. These windows, both positioned over four striking stained glass windows are of an awesome size and packed with detail. A small display near the North Deans Eye window highlights the very different designs between the two. The Deans Eye window was the object of a recent £2million restoration project, an undertaking which has not been seen in Europe since the Notre Dam restoration over 130 years ago. The restoration took 16 years to complete.
When you stand under the Central Tower in the Crossing area, it is actually quite breathtaking to gain an appreciation of the size of the construction given the age of the Cathedral.
My personal favourite major areas of the cathedral were the St Hughs Choir, the Cloisters, and I also liked the Gilbert Pots and hunting down the Lincoln Imp. The Choir, in the centre of the Cathedral dates back 900 years, and is dominated by the impressive organ pipes.
The Cloister and Chapter House were one of the later additions to the Cathedral at Lincoln, and strictly speaking they were not necessary as clergy were not living a monastic life at Lincoln. Nevertheless it is an attractive addition. The ten sided Chapter House is currently housing a very small display about the Da Vinci code as it was used to represent Westminster Abbey in the film. This is a very small display and certainly not worth going to the Cathedral for that alone, but it was an interesting exhibit.
Overall I enjoyed my visit to Lincoln Cathedral and I would say it represents reasonable value for money. If I only had the time to visit the Castle or the Cathedral, I would probably choose the Castle as that provides a broader view on history than the cathedral can. However for anyone interested in both the church and architecture, Lincoln Cathedral will certainly not disappoint.

Visiting Lincoln Cathedral was one of the main reasons for this years holiday in Lincolnshire, when I was about 10 yrs of age in Junior School we did a project on Lincoln and one on architecture, tying the two projects together with Lincolns historic buildings. I was so impressed with Lincoln Cathedral I have always wanted to come back for another visit. My hubby made my year by suggesting Lincolnshire for our holiday and he took me around loads of beautiful historic buildings, I was one very lucky lady.
~~ History ~~
The first Cathedral was initially a lot smaller than the magnificent building you see today, work started in 1072, it was a Norman Cathedral denoted by the Norman (rounded) arches and it was also built in the shape of a cross.
There are three architectural features that have stuck in my mind since that project in junior school; they are the Norman arched windows, which are rounded at the top, compared to the Gothic arches which are pointed at the top of the arches and finally the flying buttresses. All these wonderful pieces of architecture can be found in Lincoln Cathedral. Sorry I digressed back to the history of the Cathedral.
It went through some restoration after a fire in 1141 which destroyed some of the roof, causing the timber ceilings to be replaced with stone vaults. After an earthquake in 1185 the Cathedral took on a major refurbishment and virtually doubled in size compared to the original building (ok, it may not be exactly double, Ive not measured it, and I am only going from the pictures).
St Hugh was the Bishop of Lincoln at the time bringing his influence on the design; it is here we get the Gothic style coming in and the flying buttresses that I remember so well. There was one more major set back during its history when the central tower collapsed around 1237. Work on replacing this started straight away, King Henry III gave permission for them to dismantle part of the towns extended wall to enlarge the Cathedral and rebuild the towers, over the coming years the three towers were all given spires. These were later lost or taken down after one of the towers was taken by heavy winds in 1548. Without the spires you now have the Cathedral as it is seen today.
Although only a small section remains of the original building which can be found in the fortress-like centre of the west front, you should notice the large blocks of limestone and the round-headed recesses over the doors. The Cathedral has really beautiful architecture which stretches across the centuries.
~~ Our Visit ~~
I really wanted to show my hubby the beautiful stained glass windows of the Deans Eye and the Bishops Eye. Also the wonderful architecture I have already mentioned, oh and not forgetting the Lincoln Imp. He got to see these and much, much more it was lovely seeing the Cathedral cast its spell over him, he loved it, so stay with me now and I will take you on our journey.
Lincoln Cathedral is on the top of a very steep hill surrounded by cobbled streets, beautiful and elegant houses, I was as impressed with them as I was with the Cathedral. You cannot help but be impressed by this large decorative building; it simply takes your breath away. The Cathedral has undergone a lot of cleaning and restoration work which is an on going process.
We started our journey in the main entrance where we paid our £4.00 entrance fee and picked up a guide book for £3.95 (which is very colourful and informative). I asked the lady if you can still climb up the Central Tower as I remember going up there as a child and looking at the clock and the bells on the way up to the top. I wouldnt be able to do it today, but I was dutifully informed that the tower is only open on Saturdays. During our visit it came on Central News that three cellists climbed the top of the tower and played on the roof, to raise money for charity.
The nice lady informed us that a guided tour would be starting in approx 15 minutes time, but we declined as I cannot get about too easily and my hubby did not want me to feel pressured into trying to keep up.
So off we went on our own, there is so much to see and look at with the magnificent carvings, there were really very skilled people about throughout history. It is such a shame that stone masons and carpentry seems to be a dying talent. We were just looking at the polished black marble font, from the 12th century when the organ (well someone playing it) started playing the Teddy Bears Picnic. The acoustics were wonderful and a very pleasant cheerful sound to accompany our visit.
I dont remember how many times the song was played, because I was so engrossed in enjoying my surroundings. We headed down through the Nave and veered off to the left down towards the Cloister, Chapter House and the Coffee Shop. The toilets were down here as well and we were both in dire need so off we went. They did provide male, female and disabled toilets that were kept clean, functional and tidy.
After a short pit stop we popped into the Chapter House where they advertised they were holding the Da Vinci Code exhibition. I dont know what I really expected, but after watching the film the night before (which I really enjoyed) I was looking forward to seeing it. We were very disappointed but I have to say this was the only disappointment of the whole visit. All there was to see were large cardboard arches with photos of the cast and crew filming inside the Cathedral.
We were impressed with the Chapter House which has ten sides and was build around 1220; this was also supported by eight flying buttresses and pinnacles to counter weight of the enormous thrust of the vault and roof above. When you walk in the size of it is amazing and the faded paintings on the wall must have been spectacular in their day.
We moved from here to the café to have a refreshment break and rest my legs, it was a nice day so we walked through the small café area and sat outside on one of the tables by the statue of Lord Alfred Tennyson.
After drinking our tea and coffee we headed back into the Cathedral and over to St Hughes Choir, my hubby was really impressed by the wooden carvings here especially the pulpit which was a masterpiece of craftsmanship. You also find in here a 1667 large brass eagle lectern which is still used today. My hubby was clicking away with our camera taking loads of pictures.
One thing that sometimes gets missed when you are looking at everything is the chandeliers and Lincoln Cathedral has a beautiful one in Brass, this is also found in St Hughes Choir and is complemented by the dark oak surroundings.
Now for the hunt of the Lincoln Imp, I have told my hubby the story of the mischievous little devil that played havoc, according the stories that it, this all happened when they were trying to build the Cathedral, because of all the trouble he caused it is foretold that the angels turned him to stone. He is quite a character to look at with horns and claws; he is covered in feathers and sits there casually crossing his leg. We got the guide book out and worked out our location so we could find him on the diagram. We were in luck he was only a couple of pillars down from where we were standing and for 20p we could put him in the spotlight.
Excitement over we had located the Imp so we moved off and went to light a candle and say a little prayer, we did this in the Burghersh Chantry, and this was decorated with large modern pottery candle sticks and pots with sand for you to add your lighted candle to. There is a little box where you can leave your donations towards the candles.
You will see many beautiful stained glass windows whilst here each depicting their own little story and many dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The two largest windows are the Deans Eye and the Bishops Eye and these can be found where the Nave crosses, where there are the North and South transepts respectively.
I was getting a little tired now and this is a large Cathedral so it was time for a break and we still had the Lincoln Castle to visit later on. We could leave the Cathedral at any time and come back if we wanted to as our ticket held true for the whole day. It wasnt until much later when I was relaxing that I found out I had missed visiting the vast libraries. I will have to tell you about these from the brochure, (which has a lovely picture of the Wren Library). Taken from the brochure Michael Honywood was appointed Dean at the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Cathedral Chapters and choirs had been abolished since 1643, and the damage to the fabric of the Cathedral was enormous. Honywoods great legacy to Lincoln Cathedral was his gift of the Wren Library. In 1674 he chose the famous English Baroque Architect, Sir Christopher Wren, who designed the new building over an open loggia, or walkway, on the site of the then ruinous north range of the cloister. Honywood bequeathed his vast library of around 5000 books, on a wide range of subjects, to add to the 100 medieval manuscripts already in the possession of the Cathedral, which were kept chained to the oak desks in the 1422 Medieval Library. This earlier building had originally extended south towards the Chapter House, but nearly half of it was lost in a fire, the date of which was not recorded. It is known that repairs were carried out in 1789, when the truncated exterior of the Medieval Library was faced in ashlar masonry in order to make it blend in with the Wren Library. Its roof retains mostly original timbers, bosses, and carved angels. This room is used for annual exhibitions, usually about some aspect of church history, based on the books and manuscripts from the librarys collection and the Dean and Chapter archives.
At night time Lincoln Cathedral is lit up and looks spectacular against the night sky, it can be seen form up to 30miles away.
I would most definitely recommend a visit here and it is excellent value for money if you enjoy the beauty of historic buildings.
~~ Other Information ~~
The Cathedral has its own colour magazine keeping you up to date on the goings on within the Cathedral, this is called The Lincoln Cathedral Times, it is free and comes out twice a year.
The Deans Eye rose window has for the past 16yrs been going through a major restoration project costing £2 million. What a wonderful opportunity this became for the few Stonemasons that are about today to leave their mark on history. Even the stained glass went through some restoration work, although 70% of the glass is still original, many panels had to be re-leaded, keeping as much of the 19th century lead as they could. The glass was cleaned and treated leaving a very impressive and beautiful fully restored window that is there today.
If you wish to help the Cathedral raise the funds for the continuing restoration, they operate an Adopt a Stone scheme which starts at £25, this will get you a block of stone, for £50 you could get an etched stone and for £120 you could adopt a carved piece of stone.

Serenely settled at the peak of one of Lincolnshire's highest points sits the majestic cathedral church of st Mary - better known as Lincoln Cathedral. Due to its geographical position, Lincoln Cathedral can be see from approximately 20 miles in any direction. --------------------------------------------- History. The Cathedral was originally built by Bishop Romegius, and consecrated in 1092. Romegius was a Benedictine Monk and a supporter of William the Conqueror in 1066. Romegius was also the first Norman bishop of the largest diocese in Mediaeval England - this diocese stretched from the River Humber down to the Thames. The original cathedral of this diocese was situated in Dorchester, close to Oxford, but William ordered the bishopric should move to Lincoln, where William had already had the castle built. Lincoln cathedral was built from Lincolnshire oolitic limestone and situated opposite the castle, thus offering excellent protection from invasion due to its vantage point high above the county. The cathedral was damaged by fire in or around 1141, and partially rebuilt by Alexander "the magnificent", who was Bishop of Lincoln from 1123-48. In his "History of the English", Henry of Huntingdon stated that: "...the bishop restored the cathedral with such subtle workmanship that it was more beautiful than ever before, and second to none in England". I would agree with that! An earthquake struck in 1185, damaging the basic structure of the cathedral. The bishop of this time, St Hugh (Bishop of Lincoln 1186-1200) began the reconstruction in 1192. The cathedral was reconstructed in a Gothic style, with pointed - no longer round - arches, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses, which enabled large, stained glass windows and large roof spans to be inserted. St Hugh died in 1200, before work was complete. In 1237, the central Tower of the cathedral collapse
d. A new tower was started and, in 1255, henry the Third allowed part of the town wall to be removed, thus allowing for enlargement of the cathedral. The rounded chapels were replaced with a larger, square east end. This was done in order that the huge amount of pilgrims that were visiting could have access to St Hugh's shrine. All three towers had spires until 1549. At this point, high winds blew down the tallest, Central Spire; the two Western Spires were strengthened in 1730 due to leaning, but were later removed in 1807 for safety reasons. Thus stands the cathedral as we know it today - large, imposing and majestic beyond belief. Lincoln Cathedral is a powerful symbol for religion, both locally and nationwide, as well as imposing a huge amount of pride in the local population. Religious services in the cathedral demand high standards all round - language and music (with the cathedral Choir being amongst the most beautiful in the country)- and the cathedral is frequently used as a centre for the arts, with theatre, orchestral, choral and musical groups using the building as a worthy platform for their talents. --------------------------------------------- Visitor attractions. In 2000, the cathedral introduced admission fees for the first time (previously this was done on a voluntary basis). At present, these stand at £3.50, with concessions being £3 and accompanied children free. Guided tours take place daily, with specialist tours being available (pre-booking advised for these). Such specialist tours include a guided tour of the roof and upper structures; pilgrimage tours look at religious significance; technical tours look at various workshops connected with the constant restoration projects. There is access to the cathedral library, sewing room and vestries. A coffee shop and gift shop are available. Don't forget to look for the Lincoln Imp - that famous little stone ch
aracter who "hides" within the internal stonework of the Cathedral. --------------------------------------------- It is almost impossible to talk about Lincoln cathedral without mentioning its significance personally. During a particularly difficult period of my life, I was lucky enough to live in Lincoln, in the shadow of the cathedral. I was perhaps its most frequent visitor, with only the staff putting in more hours! There is something spectacularly serene about the building, both internally and externally. I spent a lot of time sitting in the grounds, where I used to study, or read for pleasure, in the summer sun. However, the most peaceful moments were achieved inside the cathedral, basking in the reflection of the stained glass as the sunlight filtered through. An uncanny sense of serenity envelopes as I do this. I can't explain what it is, whether it is a religious thing or just a sense of inner peace brought about by escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life, but I would thoroughly recommend anyone in the area to give it a try. If there is a more beautiful example of architecture in the country, I have yet to discover it.
From whichever way you approach the City of Lincoln you cannot avoid seeing the towers of Lincoln Cathedral dominating the skyline. A Cathedral has stood on the hill overlooking this area for nearly 1000 years and although many parts have been rebuilt the Cathedral has managed to survive in spite of a fire, an earthquake and gale force winds. Of course as it is at the top of a hill, be prepared for a good walk to get to the Cathedral, but the climb is well worth while. The Cathedral is very impressive and popular with tourists. After entering through the Great West Door you cannot fail to be impressed by the Nave. This enormous area of the Cathedral can seat over 2000 people, but normally the area is kept free of seats so that visitors can appreciate the full glory of this hall. The size of the pillars and the height of the roof make you aware of the enormity of this hall. There are also some very impressive stained glass windows throughout the Cathedral depicting stories from the bible. We visited the Cathedral on a Sunday and from beyond the Nave the area was restricted to people attending services. (The Cloister and Chapter House area). We are planning to re-visit the Cathedral (not on a Sunday) and then I will expand further on this opinion. There are private chapels at the side of the Nave, which anyone can use for private prayer (at any time) and these were very intimate and quiet. Near the exit from the Cathedral is the Minster shop where there are many gifts and souvenirs for sale. Personally I do not like the idea of a shop within a Cathedral, but judging by the popularity of the shop I must be in a minority with this view. There is no admission charge to the Cathedral, but there are a number of donation boxes around the Nave if you wish to make a donation during your visit, but these are not intrusive. It was unfortunate that we could not see the entire Cathedral, but I was p
leased to see that it was being used for regular services and not just an historic monument.

Ah, the man that the Bengals took in front of Marshall Faulk because they already had a 1000 yard rusher in Harold Green.
That was the stupidest move ever.
What about Akili Smith or Ki-jana Carter? We can only add to the list of Bengal ridiculousness.
I remember loving the pick at the time. The show he put on at the combine was amazing. He was on the cover of SI benching like a million pounds. I should have known better. Just another in a long line of busts.

Some might think that video camcorders are now obsolete, however, this conception is not entirely true. Although smartphones with amazing built-in cameras and all-in-one digital cameras have largely replaced bulky camcorders, they are not yet extinct.
For instance, Drift has recently announced their new classy sports camcorder, the Drift HD. The name suggests that the Drift HD is aimed at a fan base that has a great interest in sports. This amazing camcorder can be mounted on your helmet or even a bike handle to record your favorite moments.
It looks like Sprint is planning on releasing a Motorola Photon 4G with specs that are as impressive as the recent HTC Holiday that we covered just a short while ago. The photon 4G will have a WiMax enabled version and comes packed with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a vibrant 4.3″ qHD Display, sporting a 960 x 540 pixel resolution. The device will have 1GB of RAM, more than sufficient for app multi-tasking.

In theory, yes. In reality, no. A media card is great for keeping you pics and will work phone to phone, but it has to format itself to the phone first. Once you put the card in your old phone, it will format itself to the phone, ereasing any pervious data on it (something you do not have to worry about if the card was recently purchased.) I would put the card in your pc and transfer the pictures. You can highlight all of the pictures and copy them over no sweat. Then put it in your new phone and it will format itself and you can safely put the pictures from your pc back on the card. Just to be safe, I'd keep a copy of those pics on your pc.

Postal Service considers closing Beldenville office
Postmaster Relief at the Beldenville Post Office, Belinda Hopp, confirms what the Postal Service said in a press release dated July 26: It is considering closure for the 153-year-old facility.
The news release says as the online postal trend grows, the need diminishes for the USPS to maintain its 32,000 "retail" offices. "To that end," says the release, "the U.S. Postal Service announced today that it will be taking the next step in right-sizing its expansive retail network by conducting studies of approximately 3,700 retail offices to determine customer needs."
Hopp said she was called to a mandatory conference call on Wednesday, July 27, where postal employees received the news. The Beldenville location, along with one in Eau Galle, are both being "studied" in the effort.
She said according to what she learned, the soonest USPS could make a decision about whether to close or remain open would be 138 days.
USPS highlights in its press release a retail-replacement option it is introducing to aid communities affected by potential future closings. It is called the Village Post Office, which involves making mail services available through local businesses such as pharmacies, grocery stores and other retailers.
Hopp commented that the concept reaches back to the Beldenville office's roots; it started in a country mercantile store.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said, "Today more than 35% of the Postal Service's retail revenue comes from expanded access locations such as grocery stores, drug stores, office supply stores, retail chains, self-service kiosks, ATMs and usps.com, open 24/7. Our customers' habits have made it clear that they no longer require a physical post office to conduct most of their postal business."

Top Atlanta Homebuilders 2012
Archive Page - Links and Images have been removed.
Recent data from Metrostudy reveals the top Atlanta homebuilders. This list is different from the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Top 10 Atlanta Homebuilders, as it ranks builders by data as recorded in public records (Recorded Deeds). The Atlanta Business Chronicle rankings are based on surveys submitted by each individual homebuilder. So, if one major builder neglects to turn in the survey, the results are then skewed and not necessarily accurate.
The top 10 Atlanta homebuilders, ranked by Market Share of Annual Closings:
These top 10 builders sold 39 percent of the markets 8,675 homes closed during the calendar year 2012. Five of them are publically held builders that comprise 20 percent of the market.
The top 10 Atlanta homebuilders, ranked by Market Share of Total Sales Price (revenue) in 2012:
These percentages are based on total market revenue of 2.2 billion dollars.
In this second ranking, all of the publically held builders remain in the top 10. But, four of the five lost market share, Lennar being the exception. Local builders, Wilson Parker Homes and Peachtree Communities, targeting primarily first time homebuilders do not make this list. Local companies, Sharp Residential and John Wieland Homes, known primarily for higher priced move-up homes rise to take their places in the top 10.
In this ranking, the top ten builders comprise 29 percent of market share.
Metrostudy covers 23 counties in the Atlanta area, including the emerging markets of Coweta, Hall, Newton and Paulding. If you want more information on Metrostudy data, call 404-370-9001.

The researchers found that employers were far more likely to express interest in the applicant who had most recently worked in a corporate job. Overall, the self-employed candidate received 63% fewer positive responses such as requests for salary expectations than the candidate with the corporate job. The disparity was particularly sharp for men, who were viewed more harshly than women if they came from a self-employed background, although the researchers are not yet sure why.

Will always use your company on future trips. Awesome customer service and on time delivery.
GradenGrocer was so easy to use. The process was straight forward from my initial order 1 month before the delivery date to the add-ons my family decided were needed as our vacation dates to 'the World' came closer. Customer service called to confirm the order and the date, time window I had picked picked. After that, there were no worries, I arrived at the resort and talked to bell services to have my item brought to my room. The order had an additional manifest to verify all the items delivered. One non-perishable item was defective and I emailed a picture to customer service. Within a few hours a replacement was delivered to the resort by GG. I recommend the service to everyone and GG has a return customer on my next trip to the World.
Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. Great way to shop so you can spend more time on vacation.

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as "The Concierge of Crime."
Now, he's mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: he will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth "Liz" Keen, an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it's going to be one hell of a first day on the job.
What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red's true intentions? Why has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection? Does Liz have secrets of her own?
Zamani, we come to find out, is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years: a "blacklist" of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and "see the bigger picture"… whether she wants to or not.
From writer/executive producer Jon Bokenkamp ("Taking Lives") and executive producers John Eisendrath ("Alias," "My Own Worst Enemy") and John Davis ("Gulliver's Travels," "Predator") comes a global thriller that will become more mysterious with each name on the list. One-hour drama.
In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one's tougher than Detective Robert Ironside. He's a fearless cop who won't stop until the guilty are brought to justice. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists will do whatever it takes to solve New York's most difficult and notorious crimes – even if it means breaking the rules.
Tough, sexy and acerbic, Ironside's never been afraid to call it like he sees it. As a detective, his instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up… because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he'd never let a damn wheelchair slow him down.
Justice. Nothing gets in his way. Blair Underwood stars in a bold new drama about a different kind of cop. One-hour drama.
After four years of barely getting by in school, Dan and Katrina Yoder are thrilled when their daughter Molly is handed her high school diploma. Now it's off to Arizona State for Molly, and a mid-life renaissance for the Yoders (which includes turning Molly's room into their dream fitness center).
At the same time in East LA, Junior Hernandez is delivering his valedictorian address. As the first of his family to go to college (Stanford!), Junior's the pride and joy of parents Miguel and Lisette. But Junior's barely into his speech before he gets an unexpected text: "i'm pregnant." The sender? Miss Molly Yoder. OMG/Dios Mio!
What follows is the ultimate culture crash as Molly and Junior decide to get hitched, bringing two very different families together in a way they never imagined. Dan and Miguel, who already have a history, do NOT see eye to eye. But more importantly, what about Stanford? Arizona State? Who's going to raise the baby? And oh no – what about the fitness center?! For the sake of their kids (and the one on the way) they'll have to somehow make it all work… like it or not.
From writer and executive producer Mike Sikowitz ("Rules of Engagement"), comes a comedy that proves: Life is full of unexpected little bumps. Half-hour comedy (single camera).
Sean's a divorced gay dad who's trying to juggle it all. From his overbearing boss and offbeat employees at work – to his pushy mom and weekends with his teenage daughter at home – handling it all is no easy task. So when Ellie, his 14-year-old bundle of joy, moves in full-time, it's a whole new challenge.
Never one to do anything halfway, Sean's intent on being the best dad ever – so he loads up on parenting how-to books and plans Pinterest-worthy family dinners. But it seems his company's new owner has decided Sean and his team should work longer hours, throwing a kink in his perfectly constructed homemaking plans. Ellie, a normal girl who wants to hang with her friends and eat on the run, sees this development as a plus. She loves her dad, but he's clearly going overboard.
From keeping his boss happy, his employees motivated and enduring his mother's tactless "advice" to raising a smart, grounded and healthy kid, it's going to be a growing experience, to say the least. But if anyone can swing it, it's Sean.
Sean Hayes ("Will & Grace," "Hot in Cleveland") returns to NBC in a new comedy from executive writer/producer Victor Fresco ("Better Off Ted," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe") about work and family… the ultimate balancing act! Half-hour comedy (multi-camera).
Look who's making the news again. One of New York's most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. But now five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work.
Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place, his old boss Harris Green jumped at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it's always been, was to make Mike think it was his idea. After several – okay, many – failed attempts, Mike's family, anxious to see him out of the house, finally succeeded in getting him to "run into" Green. Now their plan is in motion. He'll be back to juggling home, family and career, just like the old days – only better.
Still got it… Michael J. Fox returns to NBC in a new comedy from writer and executive producer Sam Laybourne ("Cougar Town") and executive producer Will Gluck ("Easy A"). Half-hour comedy (single-camera).
Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors") stars in this provocative new drama as one of the world's most iconic characters.
It's the late 19th century, and the mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He's especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night – useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: he hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan… until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.
From the producers of the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning hit "Downton Abbey" comes "Dracula," a twisted, sophisticated and sexy take on Bram Stoker's classic novel, proving that some stories never die. One-hour drama.

Officially they are known as the Mountain State Cougars. But the NAIA university in Beckley, West Virginia could easily use the San Francisco moniker of Giants – or perhaps they could be the Mountain State Mountains.
The St. Catharine College baseball team will hold a Christmas camp in Lourdes Hall on December 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The camp is for players ages eight through 18.
Patriot head coach Luther Bramblett, the winningest coach in St. Catharine history with a 331-124 record, and his coaching staff will instruct campers in all fundamentals including hitting, pitching and defense.

Well, hello there Washington County. It's nice to meet you.
After gutting out a tough win against Taylor County and losing to a hot shooting North Bullitt squad, the 1-1 Commanders will test the skills of coaches new to their programs.
Washington County vs. Taylor County
Score: 64-39 Taylor County
When: Tuesday of last week
Where: Washington County High School
Key players: WCHS - Michelle Haydon, Kenya Turner. TCHS - Mercedes Cox, Hope Wigginton, Elizabeth Thomas
Washington County vs. North Bullitt
Score: 78-47 North Bullitt
When: Saturday
Where: North Bullitt High School
Key players: WCHS - Will Purdom, Trae Abell. NBHS - Brandon Goeing, Blake Hardy, Ryan Collins, Alan Crowe
Officially it is listed as an exhibition game on the St. Catharine schedule. But the outcome of Saturday's game at Tusculum College (Tennessee) was huge for J.T. Burton's team. As the Patriots prepare for the beginning of the Mid-South Conference schedule this week (see related story), they received a real boost with a 76-49 win over the Pioneers who are a NCAA Division II team.
Washington County softball coach Christy Baker and volleyball coach Curt Scifres have both stepped down from their roles, and that leaves two coaching vacancies the school needs to fill.
Note: Due to Tuesday's deadline, details of the season opener against Taylor Co. were not available at press time. For more, visit our Web site at www.readthesun.com.

Children enjoy a day on the ice at Perch Lake
St. Croix County Parks Department teamed up with the St. Croix Sportsman Alliance to organize a kids' fishing contest at Perch Lake on Saturday, Feb. 23. The two-hour contest was open to children ages 6 to 12 years.
Eager to try their hand at the sport, 58 kids checked in learn about ice fishing. They kept volunteers from St. Croix Sportsman Alliance, Parks Department and Friends of Perch Lake very busy drilling/clearing holes and giving advice. Most had not previously enjoyed the sport. Over 80 holes were drilled in the ice giving participants a chance to move to perhaps better fishing grounds.
The Alliance supplied a gift bag for each child filled with DNR information as well as an ice fishing pole for a prize. The parks department donated a day pass and boat rental for Homestead Parklands, a county park on Perch Lake. Nearby business Bass Lake Cheese Factory donated cheese as a prize. The Friends of Perch Lake donated two T-shirts as door prize drawings. The first time event was deemed a success as nearly 200 parents, siblings, participants and volunteers showed up.
See page 7A of the Feb. 28 print edition of the Hudson Star-Observer for more photos from this event.

East Ridge girls soccer: Raptors fall to No. 5 Eastview, lose third straight
Fifth-ranked Eastview found two second-half goals Saturday to beat the East Ridge girls soccer team 2-0 in Woodbury.
It's the third consecutive loss for the Raptors (1-5-1, 0-3 SEC), who have endured a rash of injuries and illness. East Ridge head coach Mark Abboud said six players had flu-like symptoms and three others out with injuries.
Eastview's Kellie McGahn scored at the 46-minute mark with a left-footed strike from a sharp angle 20 yards out from the left side of the 18-yard box.
After falling behind Abboud pushed the attack and the Lightning went up 2-0 on a counter attack goal from Melisse Chasse. Chasse knocked a ball in from 8 yards out on a rebound with 5 minutes, 15 seconds left in the game.
"Our big thing is we've been soft on defending set pieces and we put a lot of work in this week on defending corner kicks, try to plug that hole," Abboud said.
The Raptors did not allow a goal on a set piece against Eastview.
Stillwater handed East Ridge a 3-0 loss Tuesday in Stillwater.
The Ponies took a 1-0 lead into halftime, but Abboud and the team felt confident about the second half.
"I and along with my coaching staff and the players went into halftime really believing that we're going to come back and take it to them in the second half," Abboud said.
Instead Stillwater pumped in two more goals in the second half to salt the game away.
East Ridge will face White Bear Lake Thursday in White Bear Lake.

Pioneer's request tabled for a month
In Hart County, the water and sewer authority board for that northeast Georgia county has tabled until next month a request from its South Carolina neighbor, the Pioneer Rural Water District, for assistance. Officials representing Pioneer, a retail water supplier for parts of Oconee and Anderson counties, went into last night's meeting in Hartwell in hopes that the authority would approve a request to, in effect, allow Pioneer to piggyback onto Hart's federal permit to draw water from Lake Hartwell. Hugh Holland, chairman of the Hart County Water and Sewer Authority, said the authority had learned of the request only a few days ago and wants more time to study it. Pioneer seeks a raw water supply to pipe to what's planned as the district's first treatment plant, to be built in Oconee's Golden Corner Commerce Park. Terry Pruitt and Chuck Joye, representing Pioneer at last night's meeting, said they are fine with the authority's decision to wait a month before acting.

The Fight Against Veolia and Labor Struggle From Boston And Around The World - Part 1

The Fight Against Veolia and Labor Struggle From Boston And Around The World - Part 1
brightpathvideo·142 videos
Published on Feb 10, 2014
THE VEOLIA GROUP is a French multinational, which plays a growing role in the world economy, pushing privatization of water resources, transportation and other public services. In the Bay Area, Veolia has pushed for the privatization of water treatment in Richmond, which has led to union busting and environmental degradation.
Thomas P. Hoch, Vice President of Veolia Transportation Services was hired to represent BART management in recent negotiations and he attacked the ATU 1555, SEIU 1021 and AFSCME 3993 union locals. Veolia is also involved in privatizing transportation services and attacking unions such as the Boston School Bus Drivers USW 8751, where they have blatantly violated their union contract and fired four of the union leaders. They are still fighting for their jobs back.
Globally, the Veolia/ Transdev group is the largest water privatization company and various environmental groups have tracked its record of destruction and corruption. In the occupied West Bank, subsidiaries of the group operated segregated buses to illegal Israeli settlements; they operate an illegal settler dump and run a light rail system that sustains the Israeli settlements around Jerusalem. Communities all around the world have organized against Veolia and managed to get their cities and unions to pass anti privatization resolution declaring their cities "Veolia Free".
In light of the importance of their role in the United States and internationally, we will be having an international education conference. Topics will include Veolia's labor, environmental and human rights record and what poor and working people can do about their activities.
Conference Program- February 8, 2014

Wouldn't it have been wonderful if while Ronald Reagan was President the media gushed and fawned over him the way they do now?
On this weekend's syndicated "Chris Matthews Show," the host actually spent half the program discussing with his guests why Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is no Reagan (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: First up, with the sudden rise of Rick Perry, lots of talk about whether he could actually win the White House. Is he the underestimated conservative who could be elected like Ronald Reagan was in 1980?
Polls show Republican voters are convinced Perry could repeat Reagan's defeat of a weakened Democratic president. But there's some smart analysis out there that says no. It points to these differences between Perry and Ronald Reagan.
First, Reagan was very well known nationally, even famous. Perry's virtually unknown. Reagan was super conservative, but on the national stage, he was not seen as divisive the way Perry is. And Reagan was smooth. He was ideological, but also affable. Look how he handled this famous jab from Jimmy Carter.
FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: Governor Reagan as a matter of fact began his political career campaigning around this nation against Medicare.
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RONALD REAGAN: There you go again.
MATTHEWS: Wow. Well, Perry's more sharp-elbowed, more spoiling for a fight. And in his interview with Time magazine this week, he bragged about it:
TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY: There may be someone who is an established Republican who circulates in a cocktail circuit that would find some of my rhetoric to be inflammatory. And I think the American citizens are just tired of all of this political correctness and politicians who are tiptoeing around important issues. They want a decisive leader.
MATTHEWS: Mike Duffy, there he is on the cover of your magazine, that great interview, but he, is he right? Do they want a leader enough to put up with a real soddy buster [sic] cowboy who has a rough edge?
I think Matthews meant "sodbuster."
Regardless of the faux pas, he and his guests spent the next eight minutes discussing Perry's shortcomings and why he isn't like Reagan.
Next came "The Matthews Meter" to really drive the point home:
MATTHEWS: Let's go to the meter right now about the question we've been asking twelve of our regulars including Katty and Kelly: Is Rick Perry like Ronald Reagan in 1980? Is he the underestimated conservative who could win the White House? Well, the meter says he's not. Eleven say no way. Just one person said yes. All of you including, eleven of you including Kelly, you're first, and then Katty, say this guy is not one of these underestimated. He's properly estimated, and he's not really up to the job of beating Obama you're suggesting.
KELLY O'DONNELL, NBC: Well, I think that especially when you're talking about Reagan comparisons, that's a big set of shoes to fill. And so I think it's a little early there, and I think for the reasons we've talked about. Reagan had a milder public tone…
MATTHEWS: Easier to take.
O'DONNELL: Easier to take.
So in their view, Reagan was "easier to take" in 1980 than Perry is today.
Of course, that's not what media said about Reagan 31 years ago. Back then he was depicted as just as divisive as Perry is today.
But as always happens with liberal press members, hatred for Republicans starts waning the minute they get out of office and turns almost to adoration after their funeral.
Proving the rule, Matthews ended this lengthy segment with some very flattering video clips of Reagan to really drive home the point about what a wonderful guy he really was.
In case you hadn't gotten it yet, Perry is no Reagan.
To be sure, I am by no means saying Perry is Reagan's equal. The point here is media members that utterly despised our 40th President when he was campaigning and during his two terms are now speaking glowingly about him in order to diminish current Republican candidates as not being qualified for the job.
Yet this was exactly what they said about Reagan in 1980: he was just a former actor that, yes, had governed California, but was by no means competent enough to be Commander-in-Chief.
Now he's the model nobody on the right can live up to.
If only they had so adored Reagan when he was President.

Both teams fielded their best players when Whitchurch Squash Vets travelled to Fair Oak.
Whitchurch, keen to maintain their promotion push, got off to a great start with Erdogan Ince winning 3-0 without being tested.
Captain Rob King completely dominated his opponent to win 3-0 leaving Biffer Gibson with the responsibility of maximum points.
Using more brawn than brain he trailed 2-1 before some timely advice prompted him to fight back to win 3-2.
Whitchurch first team faced a competitive fixture at Southampton University, where super sub Alan Painter used his experience and match skills to overcome a younger, fitter opponent 3-0.
Nathan Routley started very slowly, losing the first game, but showed his mettle to narrowly win the second – and the next two convincingly for a 3-1 victory.
Alex Melkonian had no problems registering another win, making Whitchurch's record played 20 won 20 in 2014.
Captain Dave Adamson's efforts to maintain the amazing sequence started poorly with a first game loss and any hopes of a fight back petered out as he went down 3-0.
Brett Farmer started brightly, leading 2-0, but a concentration lapse cost him the next two games. He tried his hardest in the last but the momentum had swung and he lost narrowly 9-6.
It was still a win and both Whitchurch teams are second in their leagues.
