All Blacks captain Richie McCaw's first game in two months ended on a winning note on Saturday, as the Crusaders dominated the Brumbies 40-20 in their Super Rugby clash in Christchurch.
Returning after a two-month break with a fractured thumb, McCaw managed a full 80 minutes, with the Crusaders racking up their sixth win from nine starts to leapfrog from bottom to top of the congested New Zealand conference.
McCaw started at blindside flanker, but was back on the openside barely two minutes after kickoff when Matt Todd was sidelined early with a calf injury.
The Crusaders lost two more players to injury inside the first 20 minutes, centre Kieron Fonotia pulling up lame after six minutes and his replacement Tom Taylor benched with a head knock 10 minutes later.
The only five-pointer of a penalty-littered first half came right on 40 minutes, with winger Johnny McNicholl diving over out wide to finish a good team try as the hooter sounded to give his team a 22-6 lead at the break.
The Brumbies, who sit top of the Australian conference and second overall, hit back early in the second spell as they finally attacked the breakdown with aggression and broke through some fractured Crusaders defence.
Prop Stephen Moore crashed over between the posts and the conversion narrowed the Crusaders' lead to nine.
But the Brumbies continued to concede penalties, and Crusaders' pivot Colin Slade was in deadly accurate form, accumulating seven penalties as he racked up a game-high 23 points.
Fijian winger Nemani Naidolo extended the home team's lead on 52 minutes. Sam Whitelock charged down Matt Toomua's clearing kick from an attacking Crusaders scrum and the ball fell kindly for Naidolo to race away for his fourth try of the Super Rugby season.
The Brumbies couldn't capitalise on the sinbinning of Crusaders replacement lock Luke Romano at the 67-minute mark, conceding another try as Luke Whitelock chased down a kick ahead to score and extend the lead to 40-13.
Pat McCabe picked up a late consolation for the Brumbies, breaking through with just two minutes remaining.

Andrew Strom is an international author and speaker - as well as a bass guitarist with a long history of involvement in Christian music, video, promotion, recording, and Youth ministry. In this hard-hitting book he asks some very pointed questions about today's Christian music and Youth culture. For instance: When Christianity becomes just like the world is it still Christianity? When we feel we have to entertain and entertain in order to get people into our meetings, is Jesus still at the center? When we become desperate to be seen as "cool" or 'relevant' to the worldy culture all around us, does it affect the gospel we preach? When we feel we have to tone down the use of the word "Jesus" in our music or the word "sin" in our preaching, isn't this blatant compromise? And when our Christian Youth seem to care just as much about fashion, extreme sports, looking 'cool' and being entertained as the worldy kids around them, is it true Christianity at all? If you care about these issues and the answers to these questions, then you need to read this penetrating book.

WHO else but Daniel McBreen. The Mariners talisman yet again popped up in the right place at the right time, scoring a brace and burying his former club Newcastle 2-0 at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night.
After a scoreless first half, McBreen struck with goals in 48th and 68th minutes to give the visitors a well-deserved victory. The double took the 35-year-old's tally to nine for the season and eight in six games.
It was the third time this season he has produced a match-winner. The 13,112 fans had barely retaken their seats after the break before McBreen broke the deadlock, cooly turning a Josh Rose cross past the outstretched arms of Nash.
His second, though less spectacular, proved telling. Again he was left unmarked and crashed a header into the back of the net.
McBreen's contract expires at the end of the season and coach Graham Arnold had joked he would need to score in double figures for him to earn another short-term deal.
''He has to get one more goal,'' Arnold said after the game. ''I didn't expect it to happen this early but I am very happy for him.'' Despite preferring to emphasise the team not an individual, Arnold was happy to make an exception. ''Macca is in wonderful form. We have had to cut back the training loads to keep him fresher.''

What is a carbon footprint anyway?
Carbon footprint is the term generally used to describe the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by a specific activity. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluoro-carbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). To simplify matters—and since CO2 is the most prevalent GHG—these emissions are expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent based on a conversion table that uses the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors.
How does the National Geographic Society measure its carbon footprint?
The Society has measured the carbon footprint of all of its activities, services, and products. These include:
- Emissions associated with heating and cooling of our buildings
- Any fossil fuels used to heat water, operate our kitchen, light our buildings, or power our appliances, computers, and tools
- All electricity we consume in the operations of our buildings and any rented space occupied by NGS staff in North America
- All products we produce, including magazines, books, direct mail, CDs, television programming, film, digital media (website), NG Channel programs, etc.
- All business travel and accommodations
- All travel and accommodations booked through NG Expeditions
What is the Society's carbon footprint?
The chart below shows the total carbon emissions for the Society's operations in 2012. The numbers include all carbon emissions associated with the manufacturing and distribution process, including paper mill operations, printing and binding our magazines, books, catalogs, and direct mail and distribution of all these products whether by rail, ocean freight, or truck all the way through to business or home delivery.
This chart documents by source our total carbon footprint (excepting our employee commuting). It does not include the emissions that we have offset through various Carbonfund certified programs.
How is the Society reducing its carbon footprint?
The Society is continually looking at ways to cut its own energy usage and working with its suppliers to reduce theirs.
Some of the things we have done to date to reduce our emissions:
- Purchasing Windpower RECs (renewable energy credits) for all the electricity used in our buildings and leased spaces in North America
- Purchasing offsets in a reforestation project in Panama to cover all of our natural gas use and steam used in spaces we lease
- Purchasing offsets in various projects for our Adventure travel for each trip we offer
- Purchasing offsets in a forest preservation project in the Amazon region of Brazil for our business travel
- Reduced our electrical consumption by 17 percent from 2002 to 2014, by eliminating excessive lighting, changing to more efficient bulbs, shutting off our computers during off hours, changing our temperature settings, shutting down boilers during off hours, closing our buildings for ten Fridays during the summer months, etc.
- Reduced our natural gas usage by 21 percent from 2003 to 2014
- Reduced our water use by 41 percent from 2002 to 2014
- Eliminated all bottled water sold on our campus
- Actively promoted car pools, working from home, and use of public transit
- Implemented building upgrades to earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED EB) gold certification and to earn Energy Star ratings from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for our buildings
- Joined Climate Leaders (EPA) and Climate Savers (WWF), committing the Society to an additional 10 percent energy reduction by 2015
These are just some of our carbon reduction initiatives. In addition we are actively working with our suppliers (for paper, printing, transportation, postage, data storage, digital media, etc.) to find ways to reduce their emissions on our behalf. We are committed to walking the talk, to lead by example, and to thereby inspire others to care about the planet.

Mom-of-two Busy Philipps shared a photo via Instagram of Birdie, 5 1/2, and her baby sister Cricket Pearl, ten-months on Monday (May 12).
"These two little ones are everything to me. If my emojis worked I would put a heart x infinity. Plus probably those hands and maybe a dancing girl. And a smiley face with hearts for eyes," she captioned the photo.
Earlier in the week The Dawson's Creek star was spotted with Cricket after lunching with some friends.
Philipps, 34, told PEOPLE she was worried about how she could love another child as much as Birdie.
'The thing that really strikes me – and everyone told me this but I didn't understand how it was going to work – was that my heart would expand for my second child in the same way that it did for my first."View Slideshow »»

Some Insights on Religion from Public Goods Economics
This paper provides a theoretical discussion on what analytical insight is gained by viewing religion as both a pure and impure public good. It suggests that organized religion converts a public good into an excludable club good and can be viewed as providing both an access regime for this club good as well as acting as an intermediary. Interestingly, this drives a wedge between the ardent and moderate adherents of a religion. It also presents an analysis of trust in social relationships when organized religion works to provide a credible signal of trustworthiness.

|Clean Agent Design Requirements Continue to Evolve
Share |
Issue 57: Clean Agent Design Requirements Continue to Evolve
By Jeff L. Harrington, P.E., FSFPE
Clean agents were originally advanced as "halon
alternative options". Prior to the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. Clean
Air Act of 1990,2 Halon 1301 and carbon dioxide (CO2)
were the two gaseous agents in predominant use in fixed, total-flooding
extinguishing systems. Halon 1301 had an advantage over CO2
for normally-occupied spaces because it did not adversely affect humans
at design concentrations necessary to extinguish fires. CO2 was a common choice for total-flooding, normally-unoccupied spaces and local applications.
Life with CO2 and Halon 1301 was simple. Each agent had its own NFPA design and installation standard: NFPA 123 for CO2 and NFPA 12A4
for Halon 1301. In each of these standards, only one agent was
addressed. Then, Halon 1301 was phased out of production in response to
the new environmental protection regulations. Not one, but many new
agents were developed to replace Halon 1301.
NFPA 20015 was the new standard created to
address the halon alternative agents, dubbed "clean agents". NFPA 12A
was used as a template to create the new NFPA 2001. To accommodate a
growing number of new clean agents, NFPA 2001 evolved into a document
with more complexities and a broader scope than NFPA 12A.
For example, new science was adapted and applied to
develop guidelines for each new clean agent to provide safety to humans
that might be exposed to the minimum design concentration. Refinements
in the cup burner apparatus and test procedure were also implemented to
provide more accurate determinations of minimum extinguishing
concentrations for Class B fuels and more uniformity between test
laboratories. The safety factor applied to the minimum extinguishing
concentration to determine the minimum design concentration was
increased from 1.2 to 1.3 for Class B fuels. Furthermore, a new standard
test method was implemented to determine the minimum extinguishing
concentration for Class A fuels with surface burning.
NFPA 2001 continues to evolve. The 2012 edition of NFPA was acted on by NFPA at its Association Technical Meeting in June 2011, and issued with an effective date of August 31, 2011. This latest edition contains numerous revisions, three of which will be detailed in this article. These revisions are:
Supervision of Electric Actuators in Place
Electric actuators are routinely removed from the discharge and
selector valves that they control to facilitate periodic testing. It is
not uncommon for one or several of the electric actuators to remain
unattached after the testing work has been completed. This leaves the
clean agent system in an impaired state, with no indication that it is
This revision to the standard is intended to require clean agent
system manufacturers to provide a means to supervise the attachment of
electric actuators to the discharge or selector valve that they control,
and to give them time to develop the necessary technology and
manufacturing processes to implement it.
Modification of Class A Minimum Design Concentration Safety Factor
The committee's intent in making this change was to provide a method
of determining the minimum design concentration for Class A surface fire
hazards that was hardware-independent for all agents.
Increase in Class C Fire Hazard Safety Factor
The committee recognized that Class C fire hazards might have
characteristics different from Class A surface fire hazards, and that
some of these differences could influence the minimum extinguishing
concentration and, therefore, the minimum design concentration.
A Fire Protection Research Foundation report6 showed that
there is both theoretical and empirical support for the notion that
Class C fire hazards require a higher quantity of clean agent to
reliably extinguish them than corresponding Class A fire hazards. The
report outlines the fundamentals for an appropriate test method and
apparatus that could be used for determining the appropriate minimum
extinguishing concentration for Class C fire hazards for each clean
agent. In February 2009, the Fire Protection Research Foundation
conducted a workshop devoted to the subject of this project to review
the report and develop direction for the next steps. A summary of this
workshop was published.7
This recent work, coupled with several years of evaluation by the
committee, resulted in a change in the 2012 edition of NFPA 2001
regarding the method of determining the minimum design concentration for
Class C fire hazards. The standard now states, in Section 22.214.171.124, that
the minimum design concentration for Class C fire hazards shall be the
minimum extinguishing concentration, as determined from 18.104.22.168,
multiplied by a safety factor of 1.35.
The clean agent industry continues its work to develop a test
protocol and test apparatus for determining minimum extinguishing
concentrations for Class C fire hazards.

Popular firefighter dies
The memorial service for a highly respected Surrey fire battalion chief will be held this week.
Don Brucker died peacefully surrounded by his family in Surrey on Jan. 3.
He was 76.
He is survived by Violet, his wife of 56 years, along with his children Crystall, Andy, Tammy and Brian. He is also survived by his sister Hilda and brother Robert.
His reputation with the Surrey Fire Service was legendary, according to retired firefighter Lorne West.
When there was a fire, Brucker was the first one in and the last one out, West said, adding he was fearless.
"He was fierce and tough," West said Thursday. "It didn't matter where the flame was, or where the smoke was... he walked through walls, nothing stopped him."
Deputy Fire Chief Jon Caviglia served under Brucker and said he was a man of few words, but when he spoke, people listened.
"Mostly what I remember about Don is how he gave back to the Fire Service and the community," Caviglia said. "He was the second recipient of the Red Powell Award in 1994," speaking of the highest award a Surrey firefighter can receive from their peers, of which only about a dozen have been given out.
It's Brucker's kind of giving back to the community that's become a hallmark of the Surrey Fire Service, Caviglia said.
"He helped set that culture early on, which the Surrey Firefighters are so well known for now," Caviglia said.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, Jan. 11, 1 p.m. at the Barge Inn, at 7372 144 St.
No flowers by request, however, donations can be made to the Kinsman Lodge or the Surrey Fire Deptartment Charitable Organization.


text: Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE:WPZ) announced today that Marubeni Corporation has agreed to acquire a 49-percent interest in Williams Partners' first Gulfstar FPS™ project. The agreement is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013. Upon closing of the agreement, Marubeni will contribute approximately $225 million to fund capital expenditures, following with monthly capital contributions representing their 49-percent interest. Gulfstar FPS is Williams Partners' proprietary floating production system. The initial Gulfstar FPS, which has been under construction since late 2011, will support multiple agreements Williams Partners has signed with Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX), through which production handling, export pipeline, oil and gas gathering and gas processing services are provided for the Tubular Bells field development located in the eastern deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Gulfstar FPS will tie into Williams Partners' wholly owned oil, gas gathering and processing systems in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Williams Partners also expects the initial Gulfstar FPS to be capable of serving as a central host facility for other deepwater prospects in the area. The initial Gulfstar FPS is expected to be placed into service in mid-2014. Williams Partners expects to develop additional Gulfstar FPS projects in the future. "We're very pleased to be following through on our goal of adding a partner to our first Gulfstar project," said Alan Armstrong, chief executive officer of Williams Partners' general partner. "Adding a partner like Marubeni will benefit us significantly, giving us more flexibility in capital spending as we continue to pursue attractive projects in all of our operating areas." Williams Partners' expected capital spending on Gulfstar of approximately $500 million was included in the partnership's previously issued guidance and represents a 51-percent ownership interest. The partnership expects to use consolidated accounting for the Gulfstar projects.

Decision makers
- Georgia Governor
Stand Up for Dignity and Veto Anti-Immigrant Laws in Georgia
Update 4/15: Georgia just became the first state in the country to pass a copycat of Arizona's SB 1070. On April 14, the legislature voted to turn Georgia into a "show me your papers" racial profiling state. Governor Nathan Deal now has 40 days to decide whether to sign or veto the bill, but sources say he is likely to sign it.
Now is the time to tell Governor Deal "Arizona-style laws are the wrong direction for Georgia. Veto HB 87!"
We are at a critical moment and we need your help. Georgia - with a long history of oppression and an equally long history of fierce resistance - is on the brink of implementing Arizona-style anti-immigrant legislation.
The bills would drive immigrant workers, families, and businesses out of the state. They would encourage racial profiling and turn Georgia back into a "show me your papers" state, telling police to check on immigration status during routine legal "stops." The bills would also force private employers to use the flawed E-Verify database.
Arizona's SB 1070 has already cost the state millions of dollars in lost tourism and litigation. With the economy as it is, Georgia cannot afford these laws morally or economically.
For more information or to get more involved, visit www.altogeorgia.org.
- Georgia Governor
I urge you to veto HB 87. The bill will severely tarnish Georgia's image in the eyes of the country and the world. Georgia cannot afford this economically or morally.
Anti-immigrant laws like HB87 will drive immigrant workers and their families out of the state. They will work against your stated goal of improving Georgia's economy. Immigrants — both documented and undocumented--contribute over $25 billion into Georgia's economy, by buying and selling goods, paying taxes, and creating jobs.
HB 87 overreaches in a way that threatens the civil rights of Georgia residents. During a traffic stop, for example, police would be authorized to ask for documents to prove you are in the country legally. Essentially, this will turn Georgia into a "show me your papers" state, where many residents—including citizens—would be required to carry papers at all times for fear of being detained.
This type of legislation will not make our communities safer. In fact, critical public safety resources will be diverted to immigration enforcement. We need to focus our limited resources on actual public safety instead of burdening police with federal immigration duties.
I urge you to veto the Arizona-style HB 87. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Join the Cherry Picking strike
Cherry-picking is epidemic these days. People use it as a launching pad for their fury. You see, if you can ignore the context of the many facts surrounding a problem, a situation, a person, an organization – then you can continue in your self-righteous fury unabated. And self-righteous fury is sooo the new lazy. If you can pick only one or two cherries out of the bowl and pretend that the rest don't exist, it's pretty easy to be sure that you're right.
Gone are the old-fashioned days when more of us sought to understand each other, tried to grasp the facts, and might have even given putting them in context a go. Anger is sometimes the appropriate response after all that, but these days it's full-on fury out-of-the-starting-gate.
Our institutions are beginning to reflect our hair-trigger fury and bent towards preferring only the facts that support how we want to feel. The market-tested-out-the-wazoo-uber-individualized culture we live in knows exactly what we want and we want fury. And they're all about giving us what we want. Fury is good for ratings. We have whole evenings of programming devoted to cherry-picking in service of fury. Maybe we're getting the television, the newspapers, and the Congress we deserve?
So join us in trying our best to understand the whole bowl of cherries, all the facts and guiding wisdom. As far as problem solving goes, it beats fury hands-down.

For men into scat play, this is sometimes a goal. More often than not, this is to be avoided and most bottoms are mortified that this happens.

Self-storage construction has become more sophisticated over the past decade due to heightened consumer expectations as well as more rigid approval processes through municipal planning and zoning boards. Where self-storage was restricted to industrial zones in the past, it now often enjoys prime locations in commercial and even residential areas. Self-storage buildings, primarily constructed of metal building panels, are available in increasingly attractive options. Suppliers provide roofs, corridors, roll-up doors, mezzanines, lifts, elevators, relocatable buildings, and more. Important aspects of self-storage building include site layout, design and unit mix. Trends in self-storage construction include conversions, multi-story building, climate control and 'green' building, which can involve LEED certification and sustainable options such as solar panels. Specialty niches include boat/RV storage, wine storage and storage condos.

Pricing in ecosystems: A generalized linear production model
In this paper a method is developed to derive prices for natural goods from information about material and energy flows within ecosystems. The derivation is based on an analogy between ecological and economic systems: both systems are characterized by flows of material and energy. To derive ecosystem prices the mathematical structure of Koopmans economic linear production model his activity analysis is applied to a material flow model of ecosystems. The ecological interpretation of these prices is discussed and the uniqueness of the price system is investigated. An algorithm for price calculation is derived and demo nstrated with a numerical example. Finally, it is discussed whether ecosystem prices may be suitable as surrogates for economic valuations of natural goods.

The villain who is also known as Herman Schultz escapes from Ryker's Island just before the scheduled start of his trial.
Shocker, a dangerous criminal in "Spider-Man" world, is on the loose. In the viral site of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" for the Daily Bugle, a fictional New York City newspaper in the Marvel Universe, the villain is reported escaping from Ryker's Island.
"Incarcerated bank robber Herman Schultz has escaped from Ryker's Island days before the scheduled start of his trial on multiple counts of armed robbery, assault, and fleeing the scene of a crime," the report reads. "Schultz gained notoriety by committing his alleged crimes with the use of a homemade vibratory device that was capable of shaking a steel vault door off its anchor hinges."
"A Ryker's Island Corrections Department spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Schultz escaped by creating a hole through the three-foot thick concrete wall of his prison cell."
It continues, "The source said officials believe Schultz crafted vibratory gauntlets using materials he had cobbled together in the prison's workshop over the eight-week period he'd spent in the penitentiary. Questions remain regarding how Schultz managed to leave the island and navigate the notoriously difficult currents."
"The Corrections Department source speculated that Schultz had outside help, saying, 'He couldn't have just pointed his wrist-things at the water and vibrated his way over the East River, could he?"
For the past few months, the Daily Bugle has hinted at the impending appearances of Spidey's infamous villains like Spider-Slayers and The Vulture. Then, there was a confirmation about the making of "The Sinister Six" that will gather Spider-Man's most evil enemies.
A "Venom" film is also in the works, along with the third and fourth installment of "Amazing Spider-Man." "We are expanding the 'Spider-Man' universe into 'The Sinister Six' and 'Venom' so that we have 'Spider-Man' movies every year," said Sony Pictures' co-chairman Amy Pascal.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will arrive Stateside on May 2. Andrew Garfield returns as the web slinger and Emma Stone is back as his high school sweetheart Gwen Stacy. The hero will face various enemies like Electro (Jamie Foxx), Goblin (Dane DeHaan), and The Rhino (Paul Giamatti). Alistair Smythe who would become the Ultimate Spider-Slayer will be portrayed by B.J. Novak.
Responding to concerns that there were too many villains in one movie, director Marc Webb assured it wouldn't be overcrowded. He told The Playlist, "It's about writing. We're aware of those movies and the complaints people had. The main villain is Electro. Every other villain emerges around that."
"We were careful to make sure the stories entertained. You had to make sure to create obstacles that were difficult to overcome. We wanted to make the physical and emotional obstacles difficult. Rhino is in it for four minutes so it's a legitimate comparison, but when you see the movie, I'm confident."
Indeed, The Rhino is expected to return for the next Spidey film as Giamatti already confirmed his appearance on "The Amazing Spider-Man 3".

When a large number of people were fleeing the killer tsunami that wreaked havoc in the Car Nicobar Island and other coastal areas in India, an army jawan, unmindful of his own safety, rescued as many as 10 children.
Pradeep Kharab, posted at the Air Force police office in Car Nicobar Island, also rescued his colleague's pregnant wife.
Kharab, who arrived at his native village Tharu in Sonepat district on Tuesday, said he and his family were sleeping when the wild sea waves hit their residential colony.
He, along with wife and two children, tried to get to safety on their motorcycle, but were trapped by the waves.
His wife, Neelam, and four-year-old son Kunal were swept away by the waves, even as he, along with his elder son Mukul (7), managed to reach a safe place. He then jumped into the sea to save his wife and son but could not do so.
He, however, rescued 10 children, sustaining injuries on his head and foot in the process, as iron rods flowing in the tidal waves hit him. He handed over the children to an unidentified man.
The tale ended on a happy note when he later found Neelam and Kunal in a hospital.

Garmin Oregon GPS
Garmin Oregon 450t and 450 outdoor GPS handhelds :
Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigation, announced the Garmin Oregon 450t and Garmin Oregon 450 touchscreen GPS devices, the newest of Garmin's next-generation outdoor handhelds now compatible with the online community at Garmin Connect as well as Garmin's free Custom Maps utility for transferring paper or digital maps onto your compatible handheld. The Garmin Oregon 450t and Oregon 450 outdoor GPS handhelds are the latest breakthroughs from Garmin, which has spent 20 years developing technologies and innovations to enhance users' lives, making Garmin a household name in the automotive, aviation, marine, wireless, outdoor and fitness industries.
Garmin Oregon GPS
"More than ever, Garmin offers intuitive touchscreen options for anyone exploring and enjoying the world around them," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "Garmin Oregon 450t and Garmin Oregon 450 GPS devices provide a bridge between the slimmed-down Garmin Dakota family and the top-of-line Garmin Oregon 550t, all of which work seamlessly with Garmin Custom Maps in planning your adventure and Garmin Connect for reliving the experience and sharing the memories."
Garmin Oregon 450t
Responsive to the touch of a finger, yet resistant to the rigors of nature, Garmin Oregon 450t and Garmin Oregon 450 simplify navigation through a glove-friendly touchscreen interface. This bright 3" color display is easier than ever to read and use in all conditions. Other key upgrades include user-selectable dashboards, enhanced track navigation, high-speed USB for faster map transfers with your computer, photo navigation and the 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you're standing still, without the need to hold it level.
New Garmin Oregon GPS dashboard
The new dashboards give users the ability to customize the appearance of various pages on your Garmin Oregon GPS, including the geocaching, compass, stopwatch and elevation functions. For hikers, cyclists and trail runners, the enhanced track navigation will prove especially useful. When navigating to a destination on an active track, users will see the changes in elevation ahead of them as well as where they've been. Also, waypoints and other key locations along the active route - such as start, end and high and low elevation points - now appear on the map and active route pages. The new Garmin Oregon GPS units also include a barometric altimeter, paperless geocaching and wireless exchange of tracks, waypoints, routes and geocaches with compatible Oregon, Dakota, Colorado and Foretrex devices.
Download Garmin Maps
Both Garmin Oregon GPS units boast a worldwide shaded relief basemap, and Garmin Oregon 450t adds preloaded 100K topographic maps for the entire United States and state-of-the-art 3D elevation perspective. Coverage on the 450t includes major trails, urban and rural roads, interstates, highways, coastlines, rivers and lakes as well as national, state and local parks, forests and wilderness areas. In addition, you can search for points of interest by name or proximity to your location and view descriptive details for terrain contours, topo elevations, summits and geographical points.
Garmin Oregon GPS handhelds
Customizing maps for your Garmin outdoor handheld - and downloading your activity afterward - were never easier. Through a few simple steps, Garmin's Custom Maps can bring the details, labels and landmarks of your existing paper or electronic map to a compatible Garmin Oregon, Dakota or Colorado. Compatible with both PC and Mac, this free utility complements the myriad of mapping products already offered for Garmin GPS devices, including City Navigator, NT for turn-by-turn directions on city streets, Blue Chart g2, for marine charting, and TOPO U.S. 24K and 100K map software for incredible terrain detail (each sold separately). The power of Custom Maps is exemplified through paper and digital maps labeled for specific events and purposes, such as a college graduation invitation that lists campus buildings; a roadmap of a parade, marathon, 5K or bike race; a park pamphlet showing trailheads; land-management maps of wildlife and game areas; or a historic illustration of an area as it once stood.
Garmin Oregon features
Weighing only 6.8 ounces, the Garmin Oregon 450t and Garmin Oregon 450 last up to 16 hours on two AA batteries. Each Garmin Oregon GPS device has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix, which automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information and can use that information to quickly calculate a position. The new Oregon models have 850 MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot for photos and optional map data, and you can store up to 2,000 waypoints, 200 routes, 5,000 caches and a tracklog of up to 10,000 points and 200 saved tracks. Geocachers can help the environment and be more efficient by going paperless with Oregon by quickly downloading cache information directly to the device. Oregon stores and displays key information such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description, so that you don't have to tote printouts with you.
Garmin Oregon 450
Experiences will live on long after the activity has ended, thanks to Garmin Connect's newly announced compatibility with Garmin outdoor handhelds, adding an expansive new product line to the free-to-join online community of more than 17 million activities - with more than 38,000 new activities per day - for sharing, storing, analyzing and enjoying. Outdoor and fitness enthusiasts alike can share activities on Facebook and Twitter, export to Google Earth or relive the activity in table view, calendar view or on a variety of maps including our new embedded Google Earth view.
Compare Garmin GPS
Garmin Oregon update
This December 2009 update also allows you to: easily upload to and from next-generation Garmin GPS devices; manually upload .gpx files; send any track found at Garmin Connect in Explore to your Garmin Outdoor device for navigation; and export activity files in .gpx and .tcx format to use on third-party software applications. As soon as we receive a Garmin Oregon 450t test sample, we will publish a photo gallery with high resolution pictures, followed by an in-depth Garmin Oregon 450t review.

7/18/2015 – Hello, I have some old wine decanters that I need to find some sort of lid or cap for, so I can use them at my wedding....They are from "Giumarra Vineyards" and the outer dimension of the neck is about 2-3/8 inches.....can you help me?Thanks! Sandra
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Perhaps it looks like this one?https://www.etsy.com/listing/235031662/vintage-giumarra-vinyards-wine-decanterIf so, it isn't a screw cap. It might be better to use a (solid)rubber stopper on the INside. There is a chart associated with the rubber stoppers for accurate dimensions. If we don't have a solid stopper to fit, a "stopper-stopper" . . .
2/16/2015 – I just bought a 1 gallon jug from you. I need stoppers for the 3 piece airlock. What size stoppers should I buy?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Those jugs require a #6 stopper.
11/6/2012 – What are the dimensions for the opening of the 5 gallon glass jug?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The opening is approximately 1.5". It accepts either a #6.5 stopper, or a universal stopper. Links to those products are shown below:
4/11/2012 – what is the inside diameter of the mouth of this 6 gallon carboy?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Approximately 1.25"It accepts a #6.5 stopper or alternatively a "universal" stopper (see links below)
3/19/2012 – Does this rubber stopper supports temperatures around 140 degrees?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, 140 deg F is not a problem.
8/6/2010 – Is the one-gallon jug made of glass or plastic? What size stopper fits in the opening?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Our 1 gallon jugs are made of glass, and accept a #6.5 stopper. See product links below.
5/17/2010 – what is your phone number?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can be reached at (425) 355-8865Our toll free order number is (800) 850-2739
1/3/2010 – I have a glass 5gal carboy the opening is 2and 1/16" what size stopper should I use? because I do not know what a #6,6.5 or 7 would be in inches.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: From that information, a #11 stopper is probably just right. It measures 2 13/64" at the top, and 1 7/8" at the bottom. For a complete rundown on stopper sizes, go to that product. (Link is below.) and then click on the product name (Rubber Stoppers). It will display a chart of stopper sizes and inches.
9/17/2009 – Do you sell and ship 6.5 or 7 gal. glass carboys with caps? If so, I want two of them. Price and shipping?If you don't sell them, can you recomment a vendor who does?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: If/when we can get them. The factory (in Mexico) that made 6.5 gallon glass carboys shut down, so they are becoming hard to find.Not sure what you mean by a "cap". We do have stoppers and other "caps"...Shipping depends on weight and distance to you. By adding the product(s) to your online shopping cart, and giving your address, you . . .
9/12/2009 – If I was to order this Deluxe Kit, how long from the time I start, until I am drinking my first home brew (scottish ale)? What do you recommend getting in addition to this kit, to brew maybe 3 different beers at once, or is that an option with 1 kit?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A reasonable estimate for that is 3 to 4 weeks from cooking to drinking.In order to brew 3 beers simultaneously, you would need more equipment, primarily fermenters and airlocks/stoppers. A good way to this at a reasonable cost is to start a new batch about every 10 days. As the first batch comes out of the primary fermenter (it gets transferred . . .
8/29/2009 – Do you have a #10.5 rubber stopper without a hole? Or a #11? I'm looking for a bung to put on my barrel for cleaning, and I can't seem to get a "solid" option for those two stoppers.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Not usually. It's not a common size. We DO have another product that may work for you tho, it's a stopper plug that fills the drilled hole.Here is a link to that product:
8/7/2009 – I was interested in the 10 or 20 gallon fermenters but was wondering if you might be able to install spigot and lid hole with bubbler and stopper?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can install the plastic primary spigot without a problem. Due to the loose fitting lid on both of these fermenters, there is no need to use an airlock. It allows enough CO2 to escape on it's own. If you prefer, we can install an airlock and stopper, but as I say, you may not get much bubbling through it.
7/21/2009 – I've gotta say, i love your site, whoever is the webmaster/designer deserves a pat on the back.(1) If i was to just buy a 3 gallon bottle (the kind you buy at a grocery store to dispense water at home) would i have to worry about flavors from one batch carrying over to another batch?(2) What size stopper do the one gallon jugs take? . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Thank you. We work hard on our website, and it's nice to hear that it shows!1) Probably not. As long as it's food grade, it should be good unless you decide to make pickles or saurkraut in it or something silly like that. We can't speak for all plastic water jugs, of course. 3 gallons isn't very big, either. With the foaming that occurs . . .
7/2/2009 – With the 11 Gal plastic carboy, do any of the carboy caps fit it? Which size bung fits it if not?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No, I'm sorry , the carboy caps do not fit this size opening. The #10 bung works well. Put the airlock into the bung before putting it into the fermenter. I like the Intermediate size Buon Vino "Universal" stopper tool. Maybe is a better fit. Here is a link to that product
10/15/2008 – Is it possible to get a #9 rubber stopper without a hole? I need one without a hole. If not do you know where to refer me to get one without a hole?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No, sorry. We DO have a product called C000, which is a rubber "plug" that goes into the standard stopper holes, making it leakproof. If that will work for you, just ask for one in the "Customer Comments" section at checkout and we'll add one for you.
7/25/2008 – I dont exactly have a "carboy". what i do have is a glass jar, greatly resembling a carboy that is roughly 5 gallons in size. I wanted to get this carboy cap, and use my jar as a secondary, but im not sure if this will fit airtight. The measurements of the opening are(ID-1in and OD-2in). Will this, 2-spout cap, fit airtight on my jar?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: To get an "airtight fit" requires a pretty good match. I wouldn't count on that, in the case of an unusual jar size. I would use a stopper that fits on the inside. It SOUNDS like you are after a #5.5 rubber stopper. Measure carefully, and go to the stopper product below.There is a chart there showing the appropriate stopper for different . . .
7/14/2008 – is the hole in the middle the same size for every size stopper?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, it is.
7/11/2008 – I"m trying to find some large-mouth balloons,I use for making wine; They fit over gallon containers; Would appreciate any help
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The "balloon wine" recipe has been around for at least 40 years (I did this in high-school), but I should tell you it's a BAD idea. You WANT the CO2 to escape!It is much better to use an airlock and stopper. The CO2 will be released, and it does not allow air or bacteria to get in. For a couple of bucks, it improves your wine and is reusable!By . . .
2/28/2008 – I would like to brew using mason jars. I think the jars are 2.5" in diameter, but I was never very good at math. Do you think the #12 stopper or the #13 stopper would be the one to use?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: If the opening is 2.5" inside diameter (across the opening, on the inside), then a #13 should do it.
1/26/2008 – I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, we have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Everett, WA. People actually walk in and buy stuff!Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9121 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204Heck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will actually answer as long as it's business hours!
12/6/2007 – 3 part-er:1. A distant friend claims he leaves the yeast bodies in the brew for a "b vitamin" kick. I found his beer to "high energy" and was wondering if this makes straining unnessecary? (what are your feelings on leaving in the yeast bodies)2. One friend here that I'll share the cost of the kit with and probably brew with has the . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: 1. There is certainly no harm in a little extra yeast. It's high in vitamin B.Straining is usually ineffective anyway. To eliminate yeast cells it is better to just let it settle to the bottom of your fermenter, and then siphon off the good, clear beer.2. We like food grade plastic for a primary fermenter because it's inexpensive, . . .
10/2/2007 – I purchased a 1000ml flask thinking it would take the universal stopper. Well I guess the universe is too big. what stopper do I need? Is it the 8.5? I can't find this info in your catalog or your web site.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: THe #8 stopper should work just fine once the airlock is inserted.
6/14/2007 – I have a demijon 14 gals glass, what size stopper do I need?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: They use a #11 stopper.
5/17/2007 – As soon as I receive my order from ya'll I will be attempting my first batch of Mead. Many of the recipes I am looking at making are for 5 gallons of Mead which means I will need close to 5 gallons of water. My questions is: Would one of those 5 gallon water bottles like the kind use in water coolers work as a carboy? The neck of the jugs . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The will WORK but they are not ideal, especially for mead.We like to use a plastic "bucket" type fermenter for the primary fermentation, and then after the activity subsides, then siphon it to a glass carboy. This allows much of the sediment and such to remain in the bucket, but for the secondary fermentation to take place in glass. Glass . . .
1/7/2007 – What is the best way to remove a stopper? Do you recommend the stoppers that cannot be pushed into the carboy?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: After your carboy is empty, try using a metal coat hanger to "fish" it out.Usually, this happens when you put the stopper in and THEN insert the airlock. Try inserting the airlock into the stopper and THEN put into the carboy. The insertion of the airlock into the stopper hole expands the stopper somewhat, so that it doesn't go too far . . .
11/16/2006 – I accidentally pushed too hard on my rubber stopper and it fell into my 5 gallon carboy. I figured what the heck and just left it in their while the beer settled (secondary fermentor) and it didn't harm the beer at all.Now I want my stopper out of there though. I tried various things for over an hour... any hints on how to get one . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Far from it. Lots of people have done this. The best "tool" for retrieving that pesky cork is probably a wire coat hanger, bent over, and lots of fishing.
11/2/2006 – What is the best of cleaning these stoppers? I have several and they have all picked up odors I can't clean off of them.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Just regular cleaning and sanitizing is all I do. Have never noticed an "off" odor...
8/21/2006 – What is the size of the stopper that fits in the plastic bucket that comes with your kit?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It is a #2 stopper, but if you need a different size, we can drill it for you. Just let us know.
5/5/2006 – I ordered a 5 Gallon Glass Carboy with stopper. The stopper is to small. Please send a larger stopper.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Often, people think the stopper is too small, but it really isn't. Try putting the airlock thru the stopper first, and THEN inserting it into the carboy. The airlock causes the stopper to expand slightly, and it seals the opening better.If this doesn't work, we are happy to send you another stopper. Just let us know!
3/1/2006 – Do you sell a two-hole rubber stopper?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No; sorry.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, you will need to buy a stopper sized to the hole you are using it in. We don't know what that is, but if you click on the Rubber Stopper name, there is a chart for selecting the right size for your fermenter.
12/24/2005 – I am using a water jugs for secondary fermentation (size of 1 gallon milk jugs but had clean water insdie when bought) what size cap do i need to use for a fermenter?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Beats me. I assume you mean stopper. It would be best to measure the opening and select the size of stopper you need based on the opening size. There is a table shown in the details of this product
8/28/2005 – What is the diameter of the holes?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: 1/4". They are perfect for an airlock.
3/31/2005 – I have 5 gallon carboys which size do they take?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Normally, a #6.5 stopper is the one. There is some variation between carboys, however, some are made in Mexico, and some are from Italy.This (universal) stopper will work for either type.
3/15/2005 – I would like to filter hops, fruit etc. while I siphon into my fermenter. Would any of your screens work well when attached to a siphon hose? Do you have any other suggestions outside of a tapped kettle connected to a bazooka screen?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The real problem will be getting the stuff thru your siphon hose. If you are willing to pour the wort:In our Brewing Accessories category we have a variety of straining bags that might well serve this purpose.There are also funnels with straining screens that can be used.
10/17/2004 – I have a one standard one gallon size use wine jug what size rubber stopper will fit this jug?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There are many different sized "one gallon jugs", and from our experience, nothing is "standard". The ones we sell take a #6.5 stopper, but it is best to measure your opening, and select the proper stopper based on the chart we have for that item (Rubber Stoppers). Click on the name to see the size chart.
9/26/2004 – I have a one gallon glass jug (same kind that you sell with the finger hole at the top) I bought the wrong size of plug and am wondering if you could tell me the correct size I need.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There are LOTS of different openings for jugs of that style. You need to measure the opening. Here is a link to a chart for determining the stopper size you need (click on name)
8/13/2004 – When u are fermenting something in a container with a heat source underneath can the container be sealed or do u run the problem or to much pressure building up and eventually cracking or shattering your container if so what can be done about this?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It's a bad idea to seal up ANY vessel when it has actively fermenting liquid in it. Fermentation gives off CO2 gas, and pressure will build up. You need to use a pressure release, like an airlock and stopper sized to your opening.. Here is a link to one
12/29/2003 – are these stoppers, (#2), made of white rubber?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: More of a tan color, actually.
11/14/2003 – Do you have 18mm rubber stoppers? I need 1 with a hole and 1 without a hole
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Stoppers are actually tapered, wider at the top, and narrower at the bottom. If you mean for an 18mm hole, then yes...the #2 stopper is what you need. (20mm top, and 16mm on the bottom.link to them below:
11/13/2003 – I have a 5 gal. plastic water carboy I will be using,what size stopper with a hole for an airlock do I need?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: There are several different manufacturers of plastic carboys. It would be best to measure the opening, and then select the correct stopper for that opening.
10/30/2003 – I have some 7/8's holes in my fermenter lid, No. 3 stoppers are too small, No. 5's are too large. You don't seem to list a No. 4 stopper, which I think would be just right. Now what do I do? Where can I obtain No. 4 stoppers?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The #3 may seem too small, but once you put an airlock thru the hole, it should be about right (the stopper actually expands a little).Alternatively, you could open up the hole(s) to accomodate a larger stopper, I suppose. Sorry, I don't know of a source for #4 stoppers.
9/12/2003 – my bottle has a one and a half inch inside dia.what size stopper do i need?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A #8 stopper should work just fine.
8/20/2003 – I just bought 2 6 gallon plastic carboys. I need to order the rubbber stopers and airlock. Can you recommend??
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You will need a #11 stopper for the 6 gallon plastic carboy.
8/2/2003 – I have a rubber stopper that looks like it is size 10 1/2 according to your chart, the bottom measures 1 3/4, the top measures approx. 2 5 1/8" and the hole is 3/8". this particular stopper measures 1 5/8" from top to bottom. I would like to order twenty with a hole in them and twenty with no hole, if possible. Can you please quote me a price . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: They run $3.20 each. Shipping cost depends on where you live.

when you refer to Notre Dame call them 9-3
World's longest exhibition season.
Why would i refer Notre Dame as 9-3? How about 3-9 since that is what their record was most recently.
Even if they go 9-3 they will just get trounced in a bowl game...again.
You will have to wait for basketball season for Louisville to put on a show this year.
Between the strong showing by PSU and losses by Illinois, Clemson, Tennessee and Virginia Tech (did i miss anyone else), the Nittany Lions should be climbing into the top 20 this week. They should have been there before the season started.
Penn State had its fair share of legal problems this week. It will be interesting to see if Williams plays for OSU. The Big Ten is wide-open if he is injured for a significant amount of time. Is the Navy vs BSU Game on TV tonight?
What the hell were those guys thinking? Its only for this week, we will be fine.
Williams? I think you mean Wells. If you do mean Wells, he is not going to play this week but is expected to play next week against USC.
Not sure about Navy vs. BSU. Last week Navy was on CSTV, maybe they are again.
Buckeyes won't play Wells.
I read it in the Examiner (of DC) this morning.
Ohio State is seriously losing right now. To Ohio, that is just sad. I don't care if its the second quarter, they should be killing them. Is Wells that important to them?
BC just got safetyed.
Wonderful. 19-16

Well thats what I thought would happen. 45 to 14. Never was close. Offense was dominate, ground game was just obliterating Oregon State. Clark had some nice runs and throws. Showed some very nice touch, like on his td throw. Royster is a beast. Offense is just top notch this year I think.
Defense played rather well too, even without two D line starters.
I really like this team. I think we will challenge OSU for the big ten title.
I really like this team. I think we will challenge OSU for the big ten title.[/QUOTE]
The Big Ten is wide open but I wish they had the top two teams play each other at the end of the year. Ohio State did not look good but you cannot count them out. Illini have a chance & IU will give you a good game.
Sorry, I had a job interview friday at one so I wasn't anywhere near a comp after 12.
Hope you guys found it, because it was on ESPN at 7. Great game. We sat in the endzone on the hill. We had close to 11,000 students show up for the game, which is a lot considering we only have about 16,000 on campus. Gov. Daniels was in attendance, and even stood in the student section for most of the game.
In case you didn't see it, BSU is now 2-0 after beating Navy 35-23. Nate Davis after two weeks is completely 80% of his passes!
He is extremely explosive. His listed size is, well to be frank, way off. He is very small, maybe 5'7" or so. That is the negative downside to him.
Hopefully he can find a niche in the league returning kicks, but I doubt he'll be able to do much more. He was recruited as a QB from HS, so he's actually still pretty raw as a wideout, so he does still have that going for him as well.
The IU/BSU game will be one to go to. I know there is a big buzz around campus about going down. My friends and I will be making the trip, and hopefully we play better than we did last year.
I was up to the Big House Saturday for the game. Michigan sucks.
Didn't help that the #1 quarterback transfered when he heard who was replacing Lloyd Carr.
And......those skyboxes they're building around the place really give ya the creeps. Sitting there it felt like something was hovering over us the whole time.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
9-3 (Notre Dame) did not look good either do they have a chance against Michigan?
I have no problem with you calling Penn State 12-0.
This weekend is major for the Big Ten
Wisconsin plays Fresno State
The game is at Fresono State; long trip for Wisconsin should be a good game.
Purdue plays Oregon
Oregon has a top tier secondary and if Painter has a good game his draft stock sky rockets. Oregon also has to travel a distance to play Purdue.
Michigan plays Notre Dame
This is a battle of two former power house programs. Bragging Rights
The Ohio State University vs USC
Long trip for OSU is Wells going to play?
Akron vs Ball State
Akron has a good defense Ball State has the stated mose explosive offense.
I know Ball State is not in the big Ten but I am on the bandwagon.
Syracuse calls that a football team? HA! 38 to 6 at the half. This is horrible. Bring on Illinois.
Purdue is taking it to Oregon, making the Big Ten look pretty good here. PSU @ Purdue should be a pretty good game.
Michigan, really your that bad? Wow.
Parts to see OSU get killed tonight because I hate them, but at the same time if they win and then we beat them, that would look great for us.
Michigan and Notre Dame both suck. Michigan just sucks a little bit more.
Purdue managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I've always thought Joe Tiller was a very good coach - until it came to game day. Horrible game management - which is normal.

The Future Fund could generate a profit of more than $150 million if it agrees to sell the stake in Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport it bought earlier in the year through a $2 billion deal with Australian Infrastructure Fund.
Sydney Airport, the listed company that owns 84.8 per cent of Southern Cross Airports Corporation Holdings (SCACH) – which holds the actual airport – is understood to be on the verge of reorganising its complicated ownership structure.
The remaining 15.2 per cent of SCACH is owned by Australian superannuation funds and offshore institutional investors and Sydney Airport is considering plans to buy out those shareholders with an offer of either cash or shares in the listed vehicle.
Following its deal with AIF, the Future Fund emerged with a 2.6 per cent stake in SCACH, which is worth about $7.8 billion.
Even after a liquidity premium is taken into account, the Future Fund's stake could be worth about $180 million, although the $85 billion fund may face overseas taxes if it sold the asset.
The value of the Future Fund's stake in SCACH is a far cry from the price it paid for the investment just a few months ago. The Future Fund has never confirmed the price but sources have estimated it paid less than $20 million to acquire a 40 per cent stake in Hochtief AirPort Capital (HTAC), an investment vehicle that holds the stake in SCACH, as well as stakes in Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Athens airports.
The Future Fund declined to comment. Sydney Airport also declined to comment on Tuesday.
Under review
But at the last annual shareholder meeting the company's chairman,
Recent changes at HTAC and Hochtief AirPort (HTA), another investment company that owns a stake in SCACH, may put those two entities in play, which means it could be the right time for Sydney Airport to streamline the fiendishly-complicated ownership structure of Australia's biggest airport.
Shortly after the Future Fund became a 40 per cent owner of HTAC, Canadian pension fund PSP Investments bought 100 per cent of HTA. PSP now manages both HTA and HTAC's stakes. The other beneficiaries of a deal by Sydney Airport to buy out the investors in the unlisted stock are Hastings-managed Utilities Trust of Australia, CDP Capital and KfW IPEX-Bank. All three are co-shareholders in HTAC.
MTAA Super and UniSuper, two retirement schemes, hold a combined 3.1 per cent of SCACH. Speculation has mounted that Sydney Airport might also look to simplify its stapled trust structure. In May, UBS analysts that simplifying Sydney Airport's internal structure would remove tax uncertainties, give a picture on cash flows and increase net distributions to international investors. UBS calculated that, although simplifying the tax structure would remove a cash tax shield, the asset had $1.6 billion of trapped tax losses that may be able to be utilised to provide the same shield.
Key participant
Macquarie Group would be a key participant in any deal involving Sydney Airport, given it owns 21.4 per cent of the listed company. One stumbling block for any Macquarie sale has been the airport's foreign ownership rules, which prevent foreigners holding more than 40 per cent. Should HTAC and HTA disappear from the register, there may be room for a new foreign investor to enter the mix.
AustralianSuper, the country's biggest industry super fund with more than $46 billion of assets, will be watching any restructuring of Sydney Airport with interest. AustralianSuper has accused the Future Fund of gaming the prices of the airport assets it acquired through the AIF transaction. Under the terms of that deal, the Future Fund was required to buy stakes in airports such Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth and Darwin on an individual basis.
AustralianSuper alleges the Future Fund assigned an inflated price to Perth Airport, where pre-emptive rights were contained in shareholder agreements, while ascribing an extremely low price to the HTAC holding, where no such rights existed.
The Future Fund and AIF argue they had not breached any agreements. AustralianSuper is considering legal options.

mass transfer
Mass transfer is the process in which one evolved member of a close binary system passes gaseous material to its companion star. The donor star may have grown to fill its Roche lobe (in which case the system is a semidetached binary) or may be the source of a strong stellar wind. The recipient star receives the matter either directly or via an accretion disk.

"I created a welcome card to include in gift baskets to be delivered to out of town guests. This was my first time using Wedding Paper Divas. I was completely blown away. The quality and service way exceeded my expectations. Absolutely beautiful and 100% perfect. Beautiful printing, thick and high quality paper. I will only use this company in the future. Really amazing."
