At age 7, young Om Puri started his career working at a dhaba near Patiala
One of India's finest actors Om Puri, who passed away on Thursday, struggled to overcome the poverty of his early days.
Not much is known about his father who worked in Indian Army and Indian Railways at a low-paying job. As the family went around the country and could not afford to raise him, the responsibility fell on his maternal uncle who ran a dhaba at a village, Sanaur, near Patiala.
Om Puri's first work was doing odd jobs at this Dhaba. He also collected coal along the railway tracks to supplement the family income.
He was determined to study and passed out of a local government school and joined the evening course in Arts at Khalsa college, where he was to find the first turn of his illustrious career.
A noted actor and director Harpal Tiwana, who had been invited to judge a talent fest, was awestruck by Om Puri's performance in a Punjabi play and invited him to join his theatre group, Punjab Kala Manch.
But Om Puri rejected the offer as he used to work as a lab assistant at college at Rs 100 per month, and didn't want to lose that money.
But Harpal Tiwana was so keen to have Om Puri, he offered him a salary of Rs 150 per month, reports The Hindustan Times quoting his wife Neena Tiwana.
But money matters continued to dog him.
Om Puri had told Rediff that he joined Pune film institute after an industrialist friend of an acquaintance promised a monthly stipend of Rs 300 a month on the condition that it would be returned.
A month after joining the institute, the industrialist failed to keep his word and left Om Puri stranded. It was Girish Karnad, the director of the institute, who helped him out by getting him a role in a B V Karanth movie Chor Chor Chup Ja, which paid him Rs 3,000.
After passing out of the institute Om Puri's struggle continued for a few years till Ardh Satya happened in 1984.
Though it got him all the material trappings of success, he never became rich by Bollywood standards.
In an interview with News 18 last year he had said he had never received a cheque of crore for acting in a film and was willing to act for as little as Rs 15 to 20 lakh, less than what newbie actors charge in Bollywood.

The staff were very approachable and accommodating. Food although expensive but still very good (sulit sa presyo). one more thing am sure i can comment was that, the door lock must be secured all the time because I experienced that their was a person maybe his drunk forcibly opened our door and shouted late at night. the equipments such as; remote of tv must be check ( cover maybe was lost).

French women don't get fat, but they do eat bread and pastry, drink wine, and regularly enjoy three-course meals. In her delightful tale, Mireille Guiliano unlocks the simple secrets of this "French paradox"; how to enjoy food and stay slim and healthy. Hers is a charming, sensible, and powerfully life-affirming view of health and eating for our times.
As a typically slender French girl, Mireille (Meer-ray) went to America as an exchange student and came back fat. That shock sent her into an adolescent tailspin, until her kindly family physician, "Dr. Miracle", came to the rescue. Reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy plus time-honored secrets of the local women, he helped her restore her shape and gave her a whole new understanding of food, drink, and life. The key? Not guilt or deprivation but learning to get the most from the things you most enjoy. Following her own version of this traditional wisdom, she has ever since relished a life of indulgence without bulge, satisfying yen without yo-yo on three meals a day.
Now in simple but potent strategies and dozens of recipes you'd swear were fattening, Mireille reveals the ingredients for a lifetime of weight control, from the emergency weekend remedy of Magical Leek Soup to everyday tricks like fooling yourself into contentment and painless new physical exertions to save you from the StairMaster. Emphasizing the virtues of freshness, variety, balance, and always pleasure, Mireille shows how virtually anyone can learn to eat, drink, and move like a French woman.
Here are a culture's most cherished and time-honored secrets recast for the 21st century. For anyone who has slipped out of her zone, missed the flight to South Beach, or accidentally let a carb pass her lips, here is a buoyant, positive way to stay trim. A life of wine, bread, even chocolate, without girth or guilt? Pourquoi pas?

Wimbledon track to close its doors in June
Greyhound racing in these islands received a hefty blow yesterday with the news that Wimbledon Track in London is to close its doors on June 18.
The news had been generally expected for the past few years but still the suddenness of the announcement came as a shock.
Clive Feltham, MD of the GRA, explained: "Our lease is due to run out on July 14 and we decided to make an early announcement in order to give us time to vacate and to allow people to visit the stadium for a final time."
The final of the William Hill English Derby will be run at the track on Saturday, June 4 and this decision means there will be just two farewell meetings at the track on June 11 and June 18.
The decision raises the question as to where next year's English Derby will be run. There is no other greyhound track in the Greater London area, and Feltham agreed that it was unlikely it would be run at another GRA track.
However he did intimate that it was hoped to make a decision on the new venue prior to the closing of Wimbledon.
A syndicate headed by Paschal Taggart and Diane McLean have been battling to develop Wimbledon as a modern, luxurious greyhound stadium but the local Merton Council have given their vote to the Wimbledon soccer team, despite the fact that reports have shown that the site, which is situated on a flood plain, would not be suitable for a football stadium.
Good Friday racing
Another major development yesterday was the confirmation that Shelbourne Park will race on Good Friday, March 25.
Racing has been staged on Good Fridays at Harold's Cross for the past few years and they will again stage their normal night meeting.
However, the Shelbourne meeting is due to start at 5.0, with the gates opening at 3.30. This will facilitate fans attending the Ireland versus Switzerland soccer game in the adjacent Aviva Stadium that evening.
The big action on the tracks tonight is at Tralee where the semi-finals of the GMHD.ie Insurances Juvenile Classic will be run and both should be most informative affairs.
The unbeaten duo of Lenson Rocky (9.27) and Skywalker Manner go head to head in the opening heat. Both have been hugely impressive and have been the subject of deals during the competition. But the Pat Buckley-trained Lenson Rocky has the advantage on the clock and has an inside draw and that can be vital.
The second semi will see Double Oh Seven (9.42) and Silverhill Pat renew rivalry after their thrilling battle last week and the Paul Hennessy-trained Double Oh Seven can again come out on top.
He is a really powerful finisher and can go up stronger than he did last week.

The Crystal House store project by MVRDV architecture began through a request of Warenar to design the new Chanel flagship store located on the PC Hoofstraat in Amsterdam, combining both international architecture and Dutch heritage. The store is of course located on the only luxury brand street in Amsterdam, previously being primarily residential.
The firm wanted to represent the original building found on site, preserving the street elevation, through an innovative and extensive use of glass.
The original design of the façade is mimicked by a near full-glass brick layer all the way to the details of brick layers, window frames and positioning, yet it stretched vertically to conform with the new zoning laws of the city and also provide a larger interior space.
Crystal House's glass brick façade stretches upwards eventually breaking up and mixing with the traditional terracotta brick façade of the apartments [complying with the City's rules of aesthetics], thus providing the effect that the top floor of the building is floating above the shop floor.
This design aspires to present a solution to the local character loss of shopping districts globally; as globalization of retail tends towards the homogenization of luxury brand shopping streets.
Finally, the new store design offers a needed contemporary window surface whilst sustaining the architectural individuality and character. The result is a flagship store that hopes to stand prominent among other stores.
"We said to the client, 'Let's bring back what will be demolished but develop it further'" explains Winy Maas, architect and co-founder of MVRDV. "Crystal Houses make space for a remarkable flagship store, respect the structure of the surroundings and bring a poetic innovation in glass construction. It enables global brands to combine the overwhelming desire of transparency with a couleur locale and modernity with heritage. It can thus be applied everywhere in our historic centres." (MVRDV, 2016)
Once the initial idea was conceived, MVRDV went on to work with many partners in order to develop the technologies to make the project a reality. The solid glass bricks were cast and crafted individually by Poesia in Resana [close to Venice]. Further research was handed to Delft University of Technology who partnered up with ABT engineering firm and contractor Wessels Zeist. This partnership provided the development of fabrication techniques and structural solutions. A high-strength, transparent, UV-bonded adhesive was created to 'cement' the glass bricks together by Delo Industrial Adhersices [located in Germany] to avoid the use of traditional mortar.
The construction site resembled a laboratory during the construction process with about 6-10 specialists working daily for a year in place. Due to the delicacy of the materials, high accuracy and expert craftsmanship was demanded, thus the technical team remained on site throughout the entire process. This was a prototype construction, therefore, new tools and construction methods had to be developed such as laboratory grade UV-lamps, high-tech lasers, even 'lower-tech' full-fat Dutch milk was utilized as it proved to be the ideal liquid with its transparency to function as a reflective surface for the first brick layer leveling. In spite of the sensitive appearance the Delft University of Technology team ran all strength tests and proved that glass-constructions such as this is much stronger than concrete. For example: the full glass architrave is able to endure a force up to 42,000 Newton [that is two large SUVs].
The new construction methods developed on this project created new opportunities for future building, i.e. minimization of waste materials. In fact all of the glass materials used are recyclable. Additionally, waste materials [imperfect glass bricks] were either melted down and repurposed or re-molded. Finally, once the building itself [especially the façade] has reached the end of its life span, the entire façade can be dismantled and melted down to be used again. However, the only exception on this plan is the added security elements of the façade, i.e. the concrete ram-raid plinth, masked by the translucent and reflective materials to reinforce the structure and allow the building to withstand the force of a car crush. In the event of any damage a repair-protocol was developed for the replacement of individual bricks.
Renewable sources were selected to meet the energy requirements needed with the nearly all glass façade. For this reason the building is designed around a heat pump of the ground with pipes running as deep as 170m underground achieving optimal indoor climate year-round. This was a critical element in the project as it deals with sophisticated and delicate detailing while simultaneously perusing the right energy balance.

CALF CREEK, TEXAS. Calf Creek is on Farm Road 1311 twelve miles southwest of Brady in southwestern McCulloch County. It has had three names and three locations. The first site was two miles south of the present community and was known as Deland, named for a family who moved to the area from Kansas in 1874. The Calf Creek school had one teacher and twenty-three students in 1898. Baptist and Methodist churches were organized in 1903. The Deland post office operated from 1906 to 1909. The focus of the community shifted about a mile to the north, and the new post office, called Tucker in honor of local store owner Lum Tucker, operated from 1909 to 1915. Tucker had a cotton gin, a general store, a blacksmith, and a grocer in 1914. The community moved a mile north to its present location, and the post office changed its name to Calf Creek in 1915. A new school was built in 1921 and at times enrolled as many as 100 students. The community's population gradually declined, however, and the school district was consolidated with the Brady schools in 1949. The post office was discontinued in 1953. Calf Creek had fifty residents and two businesses in 1949; the population was twenty-three in 1990, when only a church and a cemetery appeared on county highway maps. The population remained the same in 2000.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Outpost' started by PaulTheBeav, Feb 3, 2013.
To Paul, it's the same thing. When he says "smart" he just means "rich."
And make stupid threads too apparently.
Wow. Did Mastboro just pwn someone? Poor Paul.
Paul got owned by the fundie.
Your existence pretty much nullifies the point you were trying to make.
You keep saying this as if it actually means something.
JFC, why/how are you this retarded? If anything you should be happy someone is using eugenics they way you are describing it. Otherwise, you'd be fucked.
All of those things collectively are less significant than the fact that we pay dumb people to have 3 times as many children as smart people. We should take all of the consequences of our choices into account when making decisions. Large factors should receive a lot of consideration. Small factors should receive a small amount of consideration.
Do you disagree?
What is linked to the opportunity presented to the woman? And what opportunity are you talking about for that matter?
How many times do you have to be reminded that "smart" and "stupid" are not hereditary?
Oh wait, you're stupid, so we have to remind you every damn time.
That claim is so dumb I don't even know what to say.
Why are most humans smarter than dogs? Is it just because of better schooling?
No one told Paul about the Eugenics program?....
Probably because you're stupid.
There have been studies comparing the correlation between the intelligence of birth parents and their children vs adoptive parents and their children.
The IQs of identical twins raised in different households is more closely correlated than the IQs of fraternal twins raised in the same household.
There is exactly zero doubt that intelligence is an inherited trait.
There's definitely a correlation. I don't think anyone disputes that.
Birthrates. Which is pretty damn obvious if you actually included your part of the quote.
The opportunity refers to the woman's options for their future.
You mean besides Koneg 6 posts up?
(edit: 7 posts up. Stupid SoO )
Paul: 90% of the people in this room are wearing black shoes.
Sin_of_Onin: No. The correct statistic is that 75% of the people in this room are wearing pants.
What the fuck does one have to do with the other? Maybe what you're saying about opportunity is true, but even if it is it doesn't preclude what I said.
In a discussion about why groups of people have the birth rates they do it does.
Also failed paul analogy 14,045
Whatever point your trying to make, you've failed. You may be right but I don't know what you're saying so I have no idea.
Can you guess who would be on Paulg's dream team of super brainiacs?....
Wow - correlation is causation in your world?
Well of course you think it is, and we've already discussed why haven't we? You probably had stupid parents too.
Note: I don't have a problem with the idea that intelligent parents pre-dispose a child to be intelligent as well. The idea that "stupid" (read: uneducated) parents cannot possibly have smart children however is patently absurd.
The fact that you are obtuse is a given.
Twin studies and adoption studies have proved the causation. There is zero doubt.
A) Stupid is not the same as uneducated.
B) No one said that stupid parents can't have smart children. It's just less likely.
This thread is great as it demonstrates all the levels of paul's stupidity.
Failed analogy? Check
Failed understanding of birth rates? Check
Pushing of Eugenics? Check
Obtuseness? Check
Meaningless semantic games? Check
Equating smart to rich and poor to dumb? Check
Worst libertarian ever? Check!
Yeah it really is a bit of a "greatest hits" compilation.
My next door neighbor kids are all in the military, therefore it was an inherited trait to be soldiers.
Aptitude and inclination for various careers can definitely be inherited.
Not every inheritable trait is inherited by every child. And even if a child does get a certain trait, that doesn't mean that they will automatically follow in their parents footsteps. It just means it's more likely.
Typical paul reasoning.
Most poor people are stupid, else they wouldn't be poor.
Few rich people are stupid because...they're RICH.
The government payouts paul defines as handouts for children tend to go to poor folks
Therefore, the government is encouraging the breeding of stupid people.
Pure Calvinist reasoning.
Not what I said. But even if it was, which part would you dispute?
I would guess if you did a study comparing IQ to income, you'd find a steady progression of average income as you went up through the range of IQs. In fact I bet there wouldn't be a single anomaly in the entire chart.
Poor people have more kids than rich people
This is a fact
i am probably the opposite of a Eugenicist, while i will admit that i was once strongly in favor of it.
people often ask why extra-terrestrials would check out earth... it isn't because of our mainstream, pragmatic ideas.
it is because of our crazy, un-realistic ideas.
robot thinking and eugenics represent the downfall of mankind.
yes, robot thinking assuages idiots like paul who are incapable of true understanding.
ultimately, it is intellectual extremists that make significant contributions... the undesirables.
So are you okay with paying stupid people to breed at triple the rate of smart people?
why do you think that we are paying ANYONE to breed?
Are you asking me the reason that we do it, or are you asking me how I became aware that we are doing it?
You still milking this thread Paulg?
It depends on the results you want. In this case I think it is working as intended.
The only things those studies support is that intelligence traits have both environmental and hereditary components. A such, phenotypical intelligence is a product of heredity and the environment. So while you are not wholly incorrect, you are not wholly correct.
I think everyone but Paul is aware that Paul's evidence is limited in scope.
Yeah, I suppose I was pissin' in to the wind.
Are you kidding? He has been milking this argument for years. Losing it spectacularly every time.
Piss with the wind to your back dude
I feel for Paulg, it must be a burden to be the smartest guy in the world. Although, he's probably got that figured out too.
Thats kinda difficult when you have a vagina Bonk, basic anatomy teaches Tampon would piss down, I thought you weren't a virgin anymore?

Sexual offences, including rape and abuse of children, are increasing in frequency in Northern Ireland more rapidly than any other kind of crime.
The Chief Constable's report to the NI Policing Board makes shocking reading. The number of offences investigated by the Rape Crime Unit topped 600 in 2014/15, up 24% on the previous 12 months; more than 4,700 child abuse referrals were made, up 23%, and child sex crime was also more frequent.
The number of rapes involving attackers not known to the victims - so-called stranger rapes - have risen by 50% in the past year.
Behind these statistics are real victims, the vast majority of them women and children. These are among the most traumatising offences which can leave their mark on victims for many years to come.
There are several factors which help to explain the increase. One is that post-Jimmy Savile there is a greater willingness for victims of historic sex attacks to report the offences to the police. Secondly women are more confident in making complaints about attacks given the more sympathetic treatment of victims in recent years.
Those are positive developments but can only account for some of the increase. Unfortunately it appears that pornography, particularly violent pornography, plays an important role in fuelling attacks.
While the Chief Constable made it clear that the PSNI is reviewing how it deals with such offences and the resources it needs to tackle this burgeoning area of crime, the fact remains that bringing offenders to justice remains a difficult task for the police.
Less than 10% of rape cases are cleared up and only around 15% of other sexual offences. These are notoriously difficult cases to successfully prosecute as they often boil down to one person's word against another. Finding collaborating evidence is often impossible.
There is a perception also that even when offenders are found guilty, the sentencing guidelines often preclude deterrent punishments being meted out.
It is clear that the PSNI is going to have to give greater priority to this area of crime. The sheer scale of the offences demands additional resources being directed towards apprehending offenders and bringing them before the courts. It doesn't necessarily mean a bigger budget - given the restraints on the public purse that is unlikely - but a redeployment of existing funds.

San Francisco Marathon
The San Francisco Marathon, which was first run in 1977, is held in late July. It offers a rare opportunity to run a summer marathon in the continental United States.
The event encompasses a full marathon, two half marathons, and a 5K. About 27,000 runners total run one of the races. About 6,000 runners finish the marathon each year.
The two half marathons are held over the first or second half of the full marathon course. The first San Francisco Half Marathon starts at the same time (5:30 a.m.) and place as the marathon, and includes running over the Golden Gate Bridge and finishing in Golden Gate Park. The second San Francisco Half Marathon starts in Golden Gate Park at 7:30 a.m. and takes runners through famous San Francisco neighborhoods such as Haight-Ashbury before finishing at the marathon finish line.

Looking for the perfect appetizer to serve this holiday? These Cranberry Meatballs with Sour Cream Herb Dip are bursting with flavor and a definite crowd pleaser!
We've been making these classic cranberry meatballs since before I can remember.
But what I'm most excited about is this super fresh and delicious Sour Cream Herb Dip!
One of my favorite things about the holidays is the food. Obviously.
Not just because of all the delicious flavors happening, but because of the fact that food brings everyone together. I love gathering together around the kitchen island and prepping meals with my kids.
Whenever we all get together in the kitchen it seems like laughter and smiles are always bound to happen. My little girls get more confident in the kitchen each time, and take pride in the meals they help to prepare!
My daughter had the best time making this Sour Cream Herb Dip with me. She was beaming with pride as we served the dip with the Cranberry Meatballs.
The dip is also great with fresh veggies or dolloped on just about anything!
But those sweet and spicy meatballs are completely irresistible when dipped into the herb infused sour cream sauce.

The companion volume to Ken Burns's magnificent PBS television series—updated and expanded to coincide with the broadcast of a new, two-part Tenth Inning, directed with Lynn Novick.
The authors of the acclaimed and best-selling The Civil War, Jazz, and The War turn to another uniquely American phenomenon: baseball. In words and pictures they provide a stunningly rich evocation of our beloved national pastime, a game woven inextricably into the fabric of our lives and our national memory.
Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns's moving and fascinating history of the game goes beyond stolen bases, double plays, and home runs to demonstrate how baseball has been influenced by, and has in turn influenced, American life: politics, race, labor, big business, advertising, social custom, literature, art, and morality. The book covers every milestone of the game: from the rules drawn up in 1845 by Alexander Cartwright to the American League's introduction of the designated hitter in 1973; from the founding of the Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players in 1885 to the eight-month players' strike of 1994; from the 1924 Negro World Series (Kansas City Monarchs vs. Philadelphia Hilldales) to Jack Roosevelt Robinson's major-league debut in 1947; from the first curve ball in 1867 (pitched by Candy Cummings of the Brooklyn Excelsiors) to Nolan Ryan's seventh and last no-hitter in 1991. This new edition brings the authors' monumental work into the twenty-first century: steroids, home-run records, the rise of Latino players, the long-awaited Red Sox World Series victory, and so much more.
Nine essays by notable baseball enthusiasts, exploring their individual preoccupations with the game, complement this sweeping narrative. And a wealth of pictures document baseball's evolution since the mid-nineteenth century and bring to life its most memorable figures. Monumental, affecting, informative, entertaining, and sumptuously illustrated—Baseball is a book that speaks to all Americans.
With a narrative by Geoffrey C. Ward, a preface to the new edition by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, a new chapter by Kevin Baker, and an introduction by Roger Angell
Essays by Thomas Boswell • Robert W. Creamer • Gerald Early • Doris Kearns Goodwin • Bill James • David Lamb • Daniel Okrent • John Thorn • George F. Will
And featuring an interview with Buck O'Neil
Baseball is indeed a mirror of American life, and Ward and Burns show how well America's story is told through baseball. Their book is the companion to a nine-part PBS television documentary scheduled to begin on September 18. In format and approach it resembles the authors' previous best seller, The Civil War (LJ 9/1/90). Each chapter, or "inning," proceeds chronologically with a dominant theme and dramatis personae. The profusion of striking illustrations add an extra dimension to each chapter. Another nice feature is the interlaced essays by such fine writers as Roger Angell, Robert Creamer, and Thomas Boswell on the hold that baseball has on ordinary people. The narrative gains force and momentum in sections examining the injustice of segregation and the forgotten heroes of the Negro leagues. Because the book is based on a documentary filmscript, the narrative sometimes seems a bit episodic, jumping from scene to scene and story to story. Overall, however, this rich and suggestive history is one of the finest books produced on baseball. Highly recommended. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/1/94.]-Paul Kaplan, Lake Villa Dist. Lib., Ill.

Can we pour Termidor SC in the hole when the post is removed?
We have active termites in a post on our concrete porch.
Yes, you may drench the soil where the termite damaged post has been removed with Termidor SC. However, this will only protect that localized area and would not help protect the rest of your home from termite damage. We would recommend treating the entire perimeter of your home with Termidor SC. Please read over our Termite Treatment Guide for more information regarding protecting your home long term from destructive termites.

Long Tall Deb raises attitude to a new latitude. Her songs cook with more smoke and sauce than all of Memphis, and her soul will break your back. Colin John's guitar flogs you with a cotton branch 'til you bleed honey. Together they ride a no–brakes rhythm section locomotive to a time when the rooms were red, the music was black and the untold tales waited patiently for the coming of the voice worthy of the telling. Get ready. Here she comes."
Terry Abrahamson, Grammy-winning songwriter (Muddy Watters, George Thorogood, Joan Jett)
Long Tall Deb made the stage her own with a devil-may-care presence and a voice that sounded like Koko Taylor."
Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa Canada
Long Tall Deb confronts "Traveling Riverside Blues" and the famous Robert Johnson and Led Zep versions and now she owns the song. It's very hard to do a classic like this without diluting it, but Deb puts her own mojo on it. I was thrilled to be onstage with her and all the fine players on this version. Very appropriate that we did it in Memphis!"

Just run down the list of contemporary female artist of the year nominees at the Blues Music Awards and you'll see some heavyweight performers. Well, brace yourselves, because the newest addition to that list has arrived, and in a big way – "Long Tall Deb" Landolt.
John Luttrell,
Any singer who opens her record "Sitting outside with a shot of Drambuie, contemplating love in the moonlight" has got my ear. (Long Tall Deb) Landolt is a powerful singer who was raised in the dirt of Texas blues and she writes with a keen, songwriter's eye.
Art Tipaldi, Blues Revue
Despite an abundance of blues rockers across the globe these days, Long Tall Deb & the Drifter Kings of Columbus, Ohio, still manages to carve its niche with this eleven-track, all-original debut."
Dan Willging, Blueswax
I've really been taken by the whole package. Her voice is very expressive and carries loads of truth and emotion and the band is up to carrying her soulfulness!"
Mike Reisz, WDPS-FM,
Dayton, Ohio
It's understandable if you rub your eyes a bit the first time you catch Long Tall Deb Landolt onstage. Not only is she really tall—more than 6 feet—but she's a tall blonde. And she belts out the blues more like Aretha than, say, Bonnie Raitt. In fact, the Texan-born Buckeye plays not only the blues but soul and R&B, in addition to boogie-woogie and other styles. Deb and the Drifter Kings' 2010 debut album, Diamonds on the Desert Floor, is a powerhouse collection of original numbers.

text: K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. has agreed to acquire Sea Coast Towing, Inc. of Seattle, Wash. from Marine Resources Group, Inc., also of Seattle, for approximately $81 million. Sea Coast operates 15 tank barges and 15 tugboats, representing 694,000 barrels of capacity, of which 316,000 barrels are double-hulled. Of the remaining single hulled capacity, approximately 80 percent is eligible to operate in the Jones Act trades until January 2015, with the remaining capacity (one vessel) eligible until January 2008. The addition of these tank barges will represent a 27.1% increase in the barrel-carrying capacity of the K-Sea fleet to over 3.2 million barrels, which the Company believes makes it the largest coastwise tank barge operator, measured by barrel-carrying capacity, in the United States. The purchase price will consist of $77 million in cash and 125,000 of K-Sea's common units. K-Sea expects to finance the cash portion of the purchase price through additional borrowings. The transaction is expected to close in late October, subject to customary closing conditions, and should be immediately accretive to K-Sea's distributable cash flow. Timothy J. Casey, President and CEO of K-Sea, said "We look forward to welcoming Sea Coast's employees to our company. This transaction will expand our geographical presence to the West Coast which provides another platform for future growth. It also significantly increases our barrel-carrying capacity which, we believe, strengthens K-Sea's position as a leading provider of refined petroleum products transportation services in the U.S. and expands our ability to provide safe, reliable, and efficient service to our customers." By early 2006, after delivery of three previously announced double-hulled tank barges currently under construction, totaling an additional 160,000 barrels, K-Sea's total barrel-carrying capacity of over 3.4 million barrels will have increased by over 1.1 million barrels, or 48 percent, from capacity at the time of the Company's initial public offering in January 2004, despite the phase-out of almost 328,000 barrels under OPA 90 requirements.

Patient Falls Off OR Table: System Error Or Human Error?
An anesthetized patient fell to the floor headfirst from an operating room table during a laparoscopic appendectomy in Scotland. The table had been tilted into an extreme head down position to facilitate the operation. Fortunately, no injury occurred.
The Edinburgh Evening News account says that there were 10 staff members in the room at the time the case started, but no one had placed a safety restraint on the patient.
A follow -up story noted that the hospital has experienced 11 other major surgical errors in the last year including two instances of wrong-site surgery and a case in which five swabs were left inside a single patient.
An investigation by the hospital noted that the level of situational awareness of the operating room staff was inadequate, and teamwork and communication were poor. In addition, the safety culture within the operating room was described as not highly attuned to patient safety.
The staff was also distracted by mobile phone use and idle chatter.
Instead of addressing the obvious human errors such as failure to place the safety strap, which in U.S. hospitals is clearly the duty of the circulating nurse, the hospital's plan of correction focused on the following typical system-type corrections:

Currently Aman is working as the Student Leader Training Intern at the Office of Student Life, where he will be working closely with the Leadership Team to help develop and execute leadership programming.
Andrew is the Program Intern for Orientation and Transition with the Office of Student Life. Andrew's role involves helping to train and educate all the Orientation Coordinators from each college and faculty in preparation for orientation week, co-facilitating Orientation Leader training, and chairing a program called Kickstart which is a resource and academic based alternative to the divisional orientation.
Andrew is entering his fourth year of a Bachelor's degree in Voice Performance at the Faculty of Music. Andrew greatly values his academics but his university experience was greatly enhanced by his participation in extra-curricular activities. In his first year he joined the Student Ambassador team at the faculty of music becoming involved in giving tours to incoming students, attending special events, assisting students at the Ontario Universities Fair, and helping to run things during the audition season. His experience as an ambassador encouraged him to assume a work-study position at the Faculty as the Assistant to the Admissions and Recruitment Officer, allowing him to work flexibly along with his school schedule, which put him in charge of the Student Ambassador team. Andrew has also been active in the student community as a past Vice President – Finance of the Faculty of Music Undergraduate Association and a past leader and coordinator of Orientation Week at the Faculty. Andrew continues his involvement into this school year as a Co-President of the Faculty of Music Undergraduate Association and the Co-Chair for Winterfest!
Andrew has truly valued his experience in the extra-curricular community as it has enhanced his capability to learn and process new information, and has also introduced him to a wonderful job opportunity that he would not have accessed without getting involved!
Kaylah is the Mentorship Programs Intern within the Mentorship and Peer Programs Resource Centre. Her role is to support UofT's various mentorship programs to ensure that students are experiencing the learning and growth that will support them through their university journey.
She recently graduated with a double Major in Conservation Biology and Psychology, and a Minor in Environmental Biology. Her academics weren't what made her university experience so great though; it was the learning and growth she experienced from getting involved with campus life. Though she "shopped around" a lot when she first started getting involved, within the last couple years of her undergrad she committed to a select few opportunities that aligned with her passions and values. In particular, she spent a lot of time in a work-study position with the Centre for Community Partnerships, as an Ambassador of Hart House, and as President of the UofT Veg Club. Her love of mentorship was present throughout all of this as well; she was a Mentor in the Woodsworth College First Year Mentorship Program for three years, and she also created a Mentorship Program for the Veg Club.
What she enjoyed most about her experiences getting involved was that it provided a context for what she was learning through her academics. It helped reveal for her the value of experiential learning, and that learning outside the classroom was just as beneficial as learning inside the classroom.
Melina is the Campus Organization Intern under the Clubs and Leadership Development Team. She is currently helping to develop a new day-long retreat aimed to provide higher-level leadership training for Club Presidents; in addition to the retreat, she is working on a collaborative conference comprised of various workshops which offer club management and organization skills, as well as theoretical and conceptual approaches to leadership. She hopes her role within Ulead will reinforce a sense of confidence and direction in club members by providing participatory workshops and sessions focused on growth.
Melina recently graduated with a double major in English Literature and Cinema Studies, while also taking enough elective Art History courses to constitute as a minor. She coupled her academic interests with the arts and culture community of U of T by joining a number of Hart House classes throughout her undergrad; these included Super 8 Filmmaking, various ballet classes, and open mic nights. She published work in the Hart House Review and later became an editor, and spent her last two years working as a Hart House Ambassador. Melina was also a Student Life Community Crew member, where she had the pleasure of interacting with first year students on a personal and public level. Throughout her undergrad, Melina also began learning about the importance of physical and mental wellness, and hopes to bring that aspect of her life into the Ulead workshops by providing space for reflection, relaxation, and fun creative energizers.
Melina is super excited about her internship position within the Clubs and Leadership Development Team, and loves the process of deconstructing the needs and interests of students to then create workshops and conferences which fulfill the goals that students aim to meet while in school and beyond.
Minna is the Campus Involvement Intern with the Student & Campus Community Development Team. Her role is focused on U of T's Co-Curricular Record program, which encourages student involvement outside of the classroom and provides recognition for student's co-curricular experiences. She facilitates training sessions, develops training and outreach materials, and manages the CCR validation of student-led clubs and groups.
Minna recently graduated with an undergraduate degree in English Literature and Sexual Diversity Studies. Minna's involvement began with a Member at Large position at VicPride!, Victoria College's LGBTQ student group. Through this experience, Minna connected with the Sexual and Gender Diversity Office as well as the Office of Student Life. By the end of her time at university, she completed roles as the Co-Chair of the Lead with Pride Conference and President of VicPride!, as well as smaller roles in Queer Orientation, the Pride Pub, and the Queer Roundtable. Working on the Conference also led her to apply for a work-study position at the Office of Student Life, which grew into her current position as Campus Involvement Intern.
Although Minna was also focused on her academics, her involvement on campus shaped her future career goals, connected her with friends and mentors, and prepared her for future opportunities.
Teresa Didiano is the Leadership Development Intern with the Clubs and Leadership Development team. Teresa's role is to plan and coordinate a leadership conference and Peer Leadership Facilitator Program, as well as support various undergraduate and graduate leadership initiatives.
Teresa is currently completing a M.Sc. in Ecohydrology which means she spends her time conducting cool experiments in the great outdoors! Prior to this, she completed an H.B.Sc. in Biology, Environmental Science, and Geography at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). During undergraduate studies, Teresa's leadership roles included being an Orientation Leader and Vice-president External for the Student Association of Geography and Environment Students. She also participated in academic opportunities such as a Research Opportunity Program, Independent Research Project, and an environmental internship – all of which guided and developed her research focus for graduate school. During graduate studies, Teresa developed an interest in student development and support services. Wanting the opportunity to develop programs and services for university students, she was a Coach for First in the Family in the Dept. of Student Life at UTM and helped organized the Student Leadership Conference: Represent with the Office of Student Life at U of T.
The breath and diversity of opportunities at U of T provided Teresa with a unique experiential learning opportunity. She credits her participation in the university community for enhancing her academic experience, as well as building skills and knowledge for both personal and professional growth. Most importantly, she gained awesome lifelong friends through her involvement at U of T!

Mandy's Heaven Plus Size White Butterfly Maxi Dress
Introducing a new brand to me….. Mandy's Heaven! It's always exciting to try out a new plus size brand, especially when it's still a small range and growing. If I'm perfectly honest, not a lot stood out to me from the range, nothing is really my usual style or the style that I'd buy myself, So, I set out to try something that I usually wouldn't. A higher neck!
Now I know that doesn't sound very adventurous but I ALWAYS have some cleavage because it's my style and it's how I like to look and dress. Anything higher does indeed make me feel frumpy and it's not a feeling I like. However, I actually do like how I look on this. Mainly because my arms are out, so I'm not too covered up, the print and style is very beautiful even though the 20/22 has a tad too much fabric for my frame. I definitely couldn't size smaller but that's the most annoying thing with dual-sizing.
The Plus Size White Butterfly Maxi Dress was £38 but now it's £25.00, a much friendlier price in my opinion. I love that it's really long on me as it compliments the grecian style even more. Butterflies is such a cliche on fat clothes and nobody really knows why but I don't hate them on this. The orange and green makes me feel very summery.
Available in sizes 16/18, 20/22 & 24/26.

"quick and expert service"
Overall excellent service. Got car in and out quickly. The front axle half shaft was replaced due to a broken CV boot leaking much grease on the exhaust system. They forgot to wipe the excess grease off the exhaust to reduce burning grease and smoke.
