Rona is the first Do-it-Yourself retailer in Canada to become FSC-certified and broadly offer FSC-certified products to Canadians.
"Rona's new policy places preference on FSC certification because it is the one that best responds to the company's requirements with regard to relations with local communities and biodiversity conservation."[i][/i]– Normand Dumont, Executive Vice President of merchandising
In November 2008, Rona, Canada's largest distributor and retailer of hardware, renovation and gardening products, announced a market transforming wood procurement policy stating their preference for FSC-certified products.
The policy established by Rona sets firm targets for increasing its purchases of FSC-certified lumber, with a goal of 90% of all commodity dimension lumber and plywood stocked by Rona certified by the end of 2011, and at least 25% of their supplies FSC-certified by the end of 2012.
Rona's policy is one of the strongest in Canada and has positioned them as a leader in forest sustainability within the lumber and home renovation sector in Canada. Rona stores across Canada, generate annual sales of $6.3 billion a year. Ten per cent of that -$630 million - is in lumber purchases, giving the company significant purchase power in the forest sector.
In November 2010, Rona announced that it had achieved its target of 25% FSC-certified wood - two years ahead of schedule. As further demonstration of their commitment to responsible sourcing, Rona also achieved FSC Chain of Custody certification for ten of their stores, and three distribution centres. This provides an assurance to consumers that all FSC products are traceable from the Rona store all the way back to the forest.
Deciding not to end there, Rona also worked with suppliers to have three of their stores exclusively offer FSC-certified softwood lumber. This achievement is all the more remarkable as Rona is the first Do-it-Yourself retailer in Canada to become certified and broadly offer FSC products to Canadians.
Rona's vision for a sustainable future
Rona believes that the future is built one choice at a time. The choices we make today will impact tomorrow. Rona considers that we have a role to play to ensure the sustainability of our environment. That's why Rona has chosen to take concrete actions that will decrease our environmental footprint and help our customers decrease theirs.

Vital Stats
- Player: Francois Otto
- Company: Sasfin
- Position: Head of Corporate Finance
- Visit: www.sasfin.com
Most fast-growing companies eventually find themselves looking for external funding. If you're in this position, what are your options?
Going public
"For many companies, going public makes sense. It's a great way to bring capital into a business to fund further growth," says Francois Otto, Sasfin's head of corporate finance.
"It's much easier to access growth funds on listing and once you've listed."
But Otto adds that it's a decision that needs to be considered very carefully. Also, it's important to ask yourself exactly why you want to list.
"Before you go public, you need to have a very clear vision for the future of the company. You need to know exactly what you want to accomplish. Once done, it's very hard to put that genie back in the bottle. That's why it's a good idea to make use of an advisor who can help you examine the merits of the process for your specific operation.
Related: Raising The Right Kind Of Capital
"You have to think of your business as a product that is competing with other products — businesses — for funding."
Otto also warns that listing is not for everyone. "You have to understand what it means to run a public company. Information will be public and shareholders will expect results. It's not like running a private company where you are completely in command," says Otto.
Finally, it's important to remember that it's not a quick process. Preparing to list — and putting all the required reporting systems and processes in place — takes time.
Debt funding
Debt funding — also known as getting a loan from the bank — is another option, though Otto warns that this is not always a viable option for a business looking to scale aggressively.
"Once upon a time, your bank manager operated similar to a venture capitalist," says Otto. "He or she would listen to your plans, and then decide whether to bet on you, or not. You could, in a sense, 'sell' you idea to your bank manager. You had a personal relationship, and that could help you secure loan. These days, however, the process has been centralised. Your bank manager can't give you a loan just because he knows and trusts you. He has no say. These decisions are made centrally."
Of course, you can still get a loan, but banks favour less risky endeavours. "Banks are most likely to fund your expansion if it means increasing your assets — buying a new factory or equipment, for example — because the risk is relatively low. Those assets will be available to recoup the loan if something goes wrong," says Otto.
Related: Choosing Between Debt Or Equity Finance
VC and equity
"About 10% of businesses are so obviously worth investing in that they essentially sell themselves. Investors come to you, asking to invest — you don't need to seek them out. The other 90% actively need to compete for investment.
"You have to think of your business as a product that is competing with other products — businesses — for funding," says Otto.
The good news, though, is that established business looking to grow are more likely to secure funding than start-ups looking for early-stage investment. "There are some active VC firms in South Africa, but not that many. We certainly don't see the same sort of massive investment that you find in Silicon Valley. If you're a new company, getting hold of funding is hard," says Otto.
"However, if you have an established business that is doing very well, but needs investment in order to grow to the next level, you'll find it much easier to attract funding."
Related: What Is A DMTN And Does Your Business Need It?
Many of the people who invest, though, will expect equity in return, so as the business owner, you need to consider how much of the company you are willing to surrender.
"Offering up equity is often the only avenue open to start-ups whereas for more established businesses they could more easily access debt or equity," says Otto.
"So if you have a business with a proven track record, you have a stronger bargaining position, but you need to decide what is right for your business and what you want to achieve."

Monk wants Swans to kick on
Swansea's strong start to the Premier League campaign has left manager Gary Monk convinced his players should aim for more than just mere survival in the Premier League this season.
Avoiding relegation at the end of this season will be more important for the clubs with the league's jaw-dropping £5.14 billion domestic TV rights deal kicking in next summer. Swansea have made an impressive start to their campaign by picking up four points from two matches, including a 1-1 draw against champions Chelsea and a convincing 2-0 win over Newcastle United at the Liberty stadium.
"I tried to make the point to the players last season that it wasn't a case of our job being done when we got to 40 points," the 36-year-old Monk said.
"I tried to make sure the players wanted more because they are better players than that. Of course you have to be mindful of relegation. This is only our fifth year in the Premier League and you are always mindful of what can happen. But these players are better than that, and it's about making them understand that."
He added: "Now the challenge for us is to try to replicate that even though the circumstances are a lot harder this year because of the TV deal. Hopefully we can mature again this year."

Paddy de Courcy is Ireland's debonair politician, the "John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin." His charm and charisma have taken hold of the country and the tabloids, not to mention our four heroines: Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia. But though Paddy's winning smile is fooling Irish minds, the broken hearts he's left in his past offer a far more truthful look into his character.
Narrated in turn by each woman, This Charming Man explores how their love for this one man has shaped their lives. But in true Marian Keyes fashion, this is more than a story of four love affairs. It's a testament to the strength women find in themselves through work, friendship, and family, no matter what demons may be haunting their lives. Depression, self-doubt, domestic abuse - each of these women has seen tough times in life, and it's through Keyes's wonderful storytelling ability that these subjects are approached with the appropriate tone and candor. Her deft touch provides a gripping story and, ultimately, a redemptive ending.

Do you know the difference between marketing and advertising?
Those two terms are often confused, however, as you'll discover, they are entirely different. Today, we'll take a closer look at how you can really get a hold on your marketing and advertising activities by clearly identifying what's what and executing on a plan to get your voice over business on the road to substantial growth.
Before we get to the meat and potatoes of it all, here's a couple of definitions and a direct comparison of advertising and marketing:
The paid, public, non-personal announcement of a persuasive message by an identified sponsor; the non-personal presentation or promotion by a firm of its products to its existing and potential customers.
Marketing is an ongoing process of planning and executing the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion often referred to as the 4 Ps) for the mutually advantageous exchange of products or services. Marketing tends to be seen as a creative industry, with marketing professionals often specialize in one or many of the following areas:
๠advertising
๠branding
๠communications
๠database marketing
๠professional selling
๠direct mail marketing
๠event organization
๠field marketing
๠global marketing
๠international marketing
๠internet marketing
๠public relations
๠search engine marketing
๠marketing strategy
๠social media marketing
๠strategic management
๠marketing plan development
๠market research
If anything is of interest to you or an area you are unfamiliar with I recommend Googling the terms to learn more about those specific topics.
Find a Marketing Professional So You Can Focus on Your Areas Of Expertise
In business, it is wise to learn how to focus on what you do best, and outsource or delegate the rest.
Do a little surfing on the Internet or ask someone in your business network to refer a marketing professional whose service has a track record of proven results.
Always work with people who practice what they preach.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxons. The name is derived from the common diminutive of the popular name Nicholas. Col was a common diminutive of the popular name Nicholas. The form Caullie was particularly popular in Yorkshire. Nicholas was the name of a popular saint from the fourth century, and was given to many children in England in the Middle Ages.
Caullie Early Origins
Gloucestershire at Coaley, a village in the union of Dursley, Upper division of the hundred of Berkeley which dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was listed as Couelege and was held by King William. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) The place name literally means "clearing with a hut or shelter," from the Old English "cofa" + "leah." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4)
Caullie Spelling Variations
Caullie Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Caullie include Colly, Colley, Collie, Caullie, Caulley, Caully, Coully, Coulley and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Caullie or a variant listed above: Thomas Colley and his family who settled in Barbados in 1680; and three years later John Colley and his wife Susan moved to Philadelphia.

I have a confession to make, I am a total cookbook/recipe hog! I have tons of cookbooks, not to mention 3 subscriptions to cooking magazines, about a million recipes saved on Pinterest, and who know how many favorited recipes on FoodGawker. It's really quite sad, but it's also my guilty pleasure. Nothing entertains me more than reading recipes.
Recipes inspire new ideas for things I can create in the kitchen as well as challenge me to try cooking or baking something I never have. They give me a base recipe for creating something healthier or adding my own combination of ingredients. Reading recipes gets my creativity flowing. Yep, cooking and baking are definitely 2 of my biggest passions.
On top of reading all the latest cookbooks and keeping up with the latest trends in the world of food I also love looking at old cookbooks and family recipes. This recipe for zucchini pineapple bread was inspired by an old recipe of my grandma's. Her recipe was called carrot cake bread. It was a wonderful cake loaf filled with the warm spice of cinnamon, lots of carrots, sweet raisins and pineapple, and crunchy pecans. As I mentioned earlier I like to use recipes as a base for creating something of my own. My grandma's carrot cake bread would be the perfect recipe to use for the zucchini pineapple bread. Obviously the biggest change I made to her recipe was using zucchini instead of carrots. I inherited a couple of gigantic zucchini's from a coworker's garden and wanted to bake something using them.
The other adaptations I made to her recipe were, cutting back on sugar, using mostly whole wheat flour, replacing the raisins with dried cherries, and replacing an egg and half the oil with applesauce and Greek yogurt. The result was an incredibly moist flavorful quick bread.
I made the bread in mini loaf pans to share with my parent's and a friend from work. My mom's response after having a slice of the bread was, "Are you planning to put this on the website?

And 1 syllable not always equal as 1 mora. You need to know the lenght of the syllable. For example we have a type called dactilus (– ∪ ∪) which is long-short-short = 4 mora. For example a word from my language: életem (means "my life") is dactilus É-LE-TEM long-short-short. And it is 3 syllables but NOT 3 moras, because of the long one It's 4 :-D So in hungarian it's almost impossible to write a good haiku.
Ok, I don't know how are syllable lenght in english but I think these poems just only wannabe-haikus ) BUT it's not a problem, I love them all what you wrote and it is a really fun contest and I love to be part of this community Thanks!

A Fresno nonprofit group is suing the National Park Service in federal court over the city and county of San Francisco's diversions from the Hetch Hetchy water project.
The Center for Environmental Science, Accuracy and Reliability, or CESAR, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., alleging NPS-approved freshwater diversions from the Tuolumne River are harmful to endangered and threatened salmon, smelt and sturgeon in the San Joaquin River and Sacramento Delta, where the water would naturally flow if it wasn't being stored behind O'Shaughnessy Dam in Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
The lack of water sent down the Tuolumne River also places additional pressure on farmers who rely on water from the federally operated Central Valley Project. Billions of gallons of water are released each year from the CVP's dams to aid fish in the Delta.
About 265,000 acre-feet of water per year - about 15 percent of the Tuolumne River's natural flow - is taken out of the TuolumnebySan Francisco and channeled into a 167-mile-long aqueduct that traverses California's Central Valley. About 2.6 million Bay Area residents and about 3,300 Groveland area residents rely on the Hetch Hetchy system for drinking water.
The complaint is seeking a court order to halt all diversions until the NPS consults with regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and completes an environmental impact study to ensure that the Hetch Hetchy project's operations aren't harming the fish.
Plaintiffs listed in the complaint are CESAR and one individual, Jean Sagouspe, of Los Banos, who owns farmland that receives irrigation water from the Central Valley Project.
The complaint claims that the plaintiffs are suffering "irreparable injury" to their educational, aesthetic and scientific interest in the aforementioned fish species, as well as their economic interests "by reason of cutbacks in their irrigation water resulting from" the upstream water diversion.

Anchors, beech trees and boks
Anchors and beech trees. I know, how come I've not covered these already? Anyway, the first bit of this will be a confession about how thick I can be, and the second bit is designed to take your mind off the first bit.
Until very recently I thought that 'anchors aweigh' was spelt 'anchors away'. Well, in my defence, I've never had to actually write the phrase down and the 'away' spelling that was vaguely lodged in my mind does kind of make sense; after all, the anchor is pulled away from the seabed when the ship has to start off (or whatever the nautical phrase is for a ship starting off).
So why 'anchors aweigh'? Well, here's a pretty good explanation from the US Navy website:
The word 'weigh' in this sense comes from the archaic word meaning to heave, hoist or raise. 'Aweigh' means that the action has been completed. The anchor is aweigh when it is pulled from the bottom. This event is duly noted in the ship's log.
However, the soup thickens. Apparently, says Oxford Dictionaries, nautical types are allowed to spell 'under way' (as when something is in progress) as 'under weigh'. Who knew?
Root and branch investigation
So, we've established that I shouldn't be editing the next edition of The Big Book of Nautical Words, but what about the beech trees?
This is from the enchanting Tree Wisdom by Jaqueline Memory Paterson. She explains that the beech tree has a unique place in European legend due to the belief that thin slices of beech wood were used to create the first book, as well as surfaces for writing on.
These stories, says the author, are backed by etymology, as the Anglo-Saxon for 'beech' was 'boc' which became our word, 'book'. 'Buche' is the German for 'beech' and 'buch' the German for 'book', and the Swedish word 'bok' means both 'book' and 'beech'.
See, now you've forgotten all about the anchors aweigh fiasco. Although I will be including the phrase in future spelling tests, so be warned.
A confession and some lovely words
I'm so ashamed. The butler claims he told me ages ago (he didn't) and is now sulking in the pantry. I considered pretending that I knew all along but my reader, Gladys (who seems to be spending a lot of time with the butler lately), would never forgive me for lying. So I have to 'fess up.
It's all to do with ellipsis. Now, ellipsis (plural: ellipses) can mean two things:
- a word or words that are left out (in speech or writing)
- the punctuation mark of three dots … that indicates the position of the missing words.
Who could possibly get this wrong? Oh, that would me.
Because, apparently (she said, trying to suggest that it's been a well-kept secret until now), when using the three dots as a punctuation mark, there has to be a space either side of them. (I *ahem* sort of thought there only had to be a space after the end of the final dot.)
Here's a great example from the story The Sisters in James Joyce's collection Dubliners:
No, I wouldn't say he was exactly … but there was something queer … there was something uncanny about him. I'll tell you my opinion …
(Not read Dubliners yet? Grab a copy – if only for the final genius story, The Dead.)
The ellipsis punctuation mark is also used in informal writing to indicate a trailing off of thought …
It can be used in this way both at the end of the sentence as above, or in the middle of a sentence:
I used to think I was good at this punctuation lark … oh, well, onwards and upwards.
Drama and hesitation
The ellipsis can also be used to build up dramatic effect:
I can't believe it … you mean to say … he was the murderer?
Or hesitation:
Really? It doesn't seem possible … he seemed to … well, I'll wait and see.
Note the correct use of a space either side of the ellipsis punctuation mark in all these examples. *makes note to self while standing in corner with dunce's cap on*
In mitigation
What can I do to make up for all this? Oh, I know, share some lovely words with you.
These are stolen from an article by Robert Macfarlane, author of the bestselling book, Landmarks, a celebration of the relationship between words and landscapes:
- burra: a sheltered spot, tucked away out of the wind , where certain flowers can grow (used in Oxfordshire, UK)
- kesh: a makeshift ramp or bridge over a stream or marsh (Northern Ireland)
- wicker: a goldfinch (Cheshire, UK)
- dimmity or dimpsey: twilight (Devon, UK)
- hazeling: of a spring morning, warm and damp, good for sowing seed (Hertfordshire, UK)
- smeuse: the gap in the base of a hedgerow made by the regular passage of a small animal (Sussex, UK)
- crizzle: the freezing of open water (Northamptonshire, UK)
- zawn: a wave-smashed chasm in a cliff (Cornwall, UK)
- ammil: the gleaming film of ice that cases twigs and blades of grass when a freeze follows a thaw (Devon, UK)
And finally
Note that some style guides say that as well as a space either side of the ellipsis punctuation mark, there should be a space between each dot. But, hey, let's not go mad; that would be a kesh too far.
Kerching, ker-ching, ka-ching and, er… ur
The loyal reader of this blog (Hi, Gladys – how's the arthritis?) will know that Guy Keleny, The Independent's grammar maven, refuses to marry me. Yet somehow fate brings us together: I got interested in the expression that people sometimes use when they want to suggest that something is a money-spinner. It's kerching, or ker-ching, or ka-ching. But which is correct?
Googling found Guy. *sigh*. He'd picked up on this very issue in one of his columns (scroll down to the end). A journo on the paper had used the spelling 'kerching' which, as Guy points out, sounds like a verb. The spelling, he says, should be ker-ching.
But Oxford Dictionaries apparently disagrees. Its spelling is 'ka-ching' (follow the link to hear how it's pronounced.). The entry explains that the word is a noun. It's also onomatopoeic in derivation – mimicking the sound of a cash register.
Ker-ching it is then. Not that I'm biased.
Er… ur??
No, not the ancient Mesopotamian (from the Greek meaning 'between two rivers', by the way) city of Ur, or textspeak for 'you are', but this, from the introduction to F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, Wordsworth Classics edition:
'Scholars describe various ur-versions of Tender is the Night…'
I kind of guessed what it meant, but had to consult Oxford Dictionaries for the exact meaning (translation: I didn't know what it meant). It's from German and means 'primitive', 'original' or 'earliest'.
Interestingly, Oxford Dictionaries uses it without the hyphen, its example being 'urtext'. Horrible, isn't it? Looks horrible, sounds horrible – with or without the hyphen. And as unnecessary as something very unnecessary indeed. Here's my rewrite, Wordsworth Classics:
'Scholars describe various earlier versions of Tender is the Night…'
You're welcome.
Couldn't resist…
I had some more stuff to share, but this post is already too long. Watch this space! The butler's fine, thanks. He's writing a novel. Don't ask.
Available now: Wordwatch for Kindle
Well, the cover looks good… (that bit wasn't me).

Like my new present? Wait, as it turns out you don't look at my bedroom everyday (whew) so you might not notice the little changes, so let me show you.
It's these guys, AND 400 count, Egyptian cotton, steel blue sheets to compliment! I know, I'm a lucky gal.
Awhile back, Cody and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary, maybe I was too lazy to blog about it, or maybe I'm still working out the details of this online/offline life, but either way I wanted to keep that holiday all to ourselves, well at least until I got these!
As Andrea noted earlier this month, the traditional 2nd anniversary gift is cotton. Unfortunately, our gifts to each other this year where total misses. I got Cody an athletic performance fabric hat that was 100% nylon (aka NOT cotton) and a thrifted T-shirt to accompany the non-cotton gift. He wrinkled his nose the t-shirt, and while he liked the idea of the hat, upon further inspection realized it was a WOMAN'S hat, whoops.
Cody got me new luxurious sheets because he knew it bothered me that the nice sheets we registered for had faded and not held up to my overly high expectations. He hunted high and low, and found sheets that were both luxurious and durable; but they were gold. Not rich, luxe gold, more like, 'why-does-my-bed-have-a-metallic-look' type gold. So back both presents went, and we received our self-chosen replacement presents last week.
Which brings me to my oh-so-beautiful new pillowcases! They are pretty enough I almost want to make the bed in the morning. So why not buy the whole sha-bang? Well even though I've been eyeing these sheets from Target for a LONG time, Cody was less than thrilled with the possibility of yet another pattern in our bedroom, remember he is a bold and solid type of guy.
So we settled for a compromise that doesn't feel very much like a compromise: solid sheets that are much nicer, and have a higher thread count, yet still splurging on the completely unnecessary pillowcases for a pop of pattern. The ways my husband loves me!

multimodality non-rigid demon algorithm image registration (by Dirk-Jan Kroon)
Computer Vision Central - Posted on January 5, 2012 at 9:03 pm.
This function will perform demon registration which is an type of fast non-rigid fluid like registration between two 2D or 3D images. Registration between different (MRI) modalities is also supported, through a function which transform one image modality so it looks likes the modality of the second image.
The demon registration is described by the paper of Thirion 1998 and extended by Cachier 1999 and He Wang 2005.
Basic algorithm: On each pixel a velocity (movement) is defined with use of the intensity differences and gradient information. This velocity field is smoothed by an Gaussian, and iteratively used to transform the moving image, and register on to the static image. (Easy to understand code example in file basic_demon_example.m)
Instead of using the basic equations for the "demonregistration" function, we have rewritten it to be used by an limit memory BFGS optimizer in an iterative and multi-resolution way, with also support of diffusion regularization. (see also Tom Vercauteren et al. "Non-parametric Diffeomorphic Image..." )
Transforming one modality into the fake modality of the other image is done with use of 2D mutual histograms between regions of both images, and choosing the grey values which have the highest correlation. D. Kroon et al. "MRI Modality Transformation in Demon Registration" (MutualTransform.m)
See the screenshot for an example result.
The functions register_images.m and register_volumes.m are easy to use, and will fit most applications.
First compile the c-code : compile_c_files.m.
- All the mex-code is multi-threaded and is tested on both Windows and Linux.

HOUMA -- It�s a dangerous stretch of road known to many as "dead man�s curve" and over the past month five crashes have occurred on Bayou Black and Cougar drives including one that claimed the life of a 28-year-old Houma woman.
After living near the busy thoroughfare for more than three decades, Julia Bourque said she�s tired of seeing so many senseless crashes just beyond her front yard and wants something done about it.
"People are going too fast, and they can�t navigate the curve and when they come out of the curve, it�s almost like a slingshot," she said.
Bourque has been keeping a tally of crashes on the curve near Mulberry subdivision in the two-lane road that runs alongside Bayou Black and stretches from Houma to Gibson. There have been five in seven weeks, including one on Dec. 30 that killed Shea Guillot, 28, of Houma, police said.
Shea Guillot�s husband, Willie Guillot Jr., 29, was driving. Police say he was speeding when he ran off the road and hit a nearby utility pole. Charges against Guillot are pending, awaiting the results of a blood-alcohol test.
The most-recent crash occurred Tuesday, when an 18-wheeler ran off the road, police said. No injuries were reported.
The road has seen quite a few wrecks in recent weeks, said Lt. Darryl Cunningham, Houma Police�s traffic supervisor, but he says it�s not the most wreck-prone in the city. Other heavily traveled roads are more problematic for drivers, he said, citing examples like La. 182, Grand Caillou Road and Barrow Street.
"I understand there has been a little influx of wrecks there since Thanksgiving and that�s bringing attention to it, especially with the fatality," he said.
Cunningham said the signs along Bayou Black Drive -- which include a speed-limit decrease from 35 mph to 25 mph -- warn drivers of the dangerous curve ahead. Police also frequently patrol that stretch, to keep an eye out for speeding and other violations that could result in a wreck.
But he says it comes down to this: motorists must abide by the law.
Most of the crashes Houma officers investigate there, he said, are because of "driver error. Either speeding or (being) under the influence."
Bourque suggests that more should be done to raise awareness, such as installing speed bumps along the roadway to force drivers to slow down. Cunningham said that�s not something the state would do, citing liability issues that could result if a driver lost control after hitting the bumps or if a bump caused vehicle damage.
Charles Bourque, Julia�s husband, agrees that something needs to be done to curb crashes on Bayou Black Drive, suggesting that perhaps the speed limit should be lowered even more.
While traditional speed bumps may not be on the horizon, an alternate solution may be around the corner. In response to the concerns being raised by residents such as Bourque, Cunningham said he�s currently drafting a recommendation that the state install rumble strips -- a patch of raised bumps that make noise when driven over to slow speeding drivers.
"It�s a state highway, so all I can do is make a recommendation," he said.
Staff writer Mika Edwards can be reached at 857-2202 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dangerous stretch of Terrebonne road has neighbors concerned
HOUMA -- It�s a dangerous stretch of road known to many as "dead man�s curve" and over the past month five crashes have occurred on Bayou Black and Cougar drives including one that claimed the life of a 28-year-old Houma woman.

M3. It's a single-letter, single-number combination guaranteed to cause a reaction among those familiar with the legend.
Ever since the original (E30) rolled onto the bitumen 25 years ago, and for another three generations since, there has always been something special – both definable and intangible – about the flag-bearer of BMW's signature 3-Series range.
Reverence for the model, however, is not just limited to enthusiasts. If you were to tell BMW it could take only one of its showroom vehicles to a desert island (lined with a long, snaking road, naturally), you confidently sense the Munich manufacturer would choose nothing other than the M3.
Four years into the life of the current model, Drive finds itself kneeling once again at the motoring altar of worship – in a special edition M3 that's exclusive to Australia.
The Pure Edition was introduced at the beginning of the year in both coupe and sedan forms. Limited to just 100 units, even split by body style, only 20 sedans are still available.
The timing could be construed as BMW Australia's response to the M3 being outsold 533 to 298 in 2010 by its arch rival, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, but the company says the limited edition was simply a response to a clear market demand for a more affordable version aimed purely at purists.
So there was a cleansing of some of the M3's more extravagant features – such as full leather seats, adaptive headlights, front seat heating and Harman Kardon surround sound audio systems – to bring a saving of $17,300 over the regular M3 sedan (to $135,000) and another five-figure paring of the regular coupe price (by $10,000 to $148,300).
The limited edition does gain some aesthetic additions to distinguish it from regular M3s – mainly dark body parts such as black high-gloss for the 19-inch alloy wheels and bonnet louvers, and dark chrome for the double-kidney grille, side vents and exhaust pipes.
There's no dual-clutch auto option, though, with a six-speed manual adhering to the true sense of the 'Pure' tag.
The gearbox also manipulates one of the finest V8s to have been slotted into an engine bay, unchanged here.
Have no doubt the E90/E92 M3's V8 will have its own place in the annals of car history – not least because it will also be the last of BMW's magnificent naturally aspirated engines. The German brand is moving to an all-turbo vehicle line-up, with the next-generation M3 switching to a boosted six-cylinder.
Producing 309kW from just 4.0 litres, the V8 comfortably passes the magic 100-horespower-per-litre engineering mark. (It's worth noting that while a local V8-powered model such as the HSV Clubsport R8 has an extra 8kW, it needs another 2.2 litres of capacity to achieve its 317kW.)
Naturally, there's unbridled joy in reaching that peak power of 309kW. Apply light pressure to the M3's responsive and perfectly modulated throttle pedal and there's a purposeful burble at lower revs, though it's the wailing crescendo as the tachometer needle spins towards the engine's 8300 rev limiter that lifts hairs on the nape of your neck.
The M3's sensory experience extends to the seat of your pants, with the car's straight-line performance and supremely poised handling providing suitably high degrees of titillation.
The suspension also walks that fine line between ride comfort and body control better than its rivals.
Whether it's a Pure edition or not, however, the M3 is not without some blemishes.
The steering, while precise and superior to most cars, isn't as communicative as the previous M3's helm, while the wheel's rim is overly thick.
The gearshift action could be slicker (the new 1-Series M Coupe's manual is better) and the 19-inch wheels produce plenty of tyre noise.
Arguably the biggest issue, however, is fuel range. With an official thirst of 12.4 litres per 100km and just a 63-litre tank, the M3 has a theoretical distance between fills of just over 500km.
Drive an M3 like it deserves to be driven, and you could be heading to the servo every 350km or less.
You could call it a flawed genius, except that with the M3 it's no myth that you're only likely to remember the good things.

LyondellBasell to open HDPE facility in Texas manufacturing complex
LyondellBasell is to build a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) facility at its manufacturing complex in La Porte, Texas.
It will be the first commercial plant to use LyondellBasell's new Hyperzone PE technology, and have an annual production capacity of 1.1 billion pounds.
This project is expected to create up to 1,000 jobs at the peak of construction and around 75 full-time positions.
Construction of the plant is slated to start in early 2017 and will become operational in 2019.
LyondellBasell CEO and chairman of the management board Bob Patel said: "This project represents the next generation of technology.
"This location is ideal for this facility because of the feedstock advantage we enjoy, the ability to ship product around the world and, most importantly, the outstanding workforce that the Gulf Coast has to offer."
LyondellBasell's La Porte complex is located on the south shore of the Houston Ship Channel. It spans 540 acres and produces ethylene, propylene, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
LLDPE, LDPE and HDPE are thermoplastics used in manufacturing of a wide variety of plastic products such as bottles, bags, containers, toys, food packaging, healthcare articles, automotive applications and industrial packaging.
The La Porte complex is the primary site for the company's Acetyls business with a chain of units producing methanol, acetic acid and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM). These products are used in household latex paint, adhesives, food packaging, wire and cable coatings and automotive safety glass.

Did you think that only smokers are at a risk of suffering lung cancer? Well, whether you smoke or not, you might be breathing in toxic fumes if you are living in a polluted city.
And yes, smoking habit raises the risk at an alarming rate! And smokers raise the risk of passive smokers too!
Also Read: Do Smokers Lungs Heal?
Like any other cancer, even lung cancer can kill. And prevention is always far safer than cure. So, if you wish to know about lung cancer risk and how to prevent it, here are some points that might help you.
Fact #1
One habit that can raise the risk of lung cancer by 250% is smoking. Yes, if you smoke, you are more at a risk compared to non smokers.
Fact #2
Another risk factor is exposure to pollution. If you are living in an area where the smoke in the air is too high, your risk of lung cancer could increase.
Also Read: Is Nicotine More Addictive Than Cocaine?
Fact #3
One more factor is family history. If your ancestors suffered lung cancer, you may have higher chances of suffering the same. Even eating fried foods could raise the risk.
Fact #4
What can reduce the risk? Well, the first in the list is regular exercise. It can diminish the risk by 15%.
Also Read: These 12 Foods Are Cancer Killers
Fact #5
Consuming green tea can also diminish the risk by around 17-18%. So, add exercise and green tea to your list.
Also Read: Simple Steps To Keep Your Lungs Healthy
Fact #6
Raw garlic is among the best players as it is the best preventive measure against lung cancer. Those who have the habit of eating a raw garlic even 3 times a week may diminish the risk of lung cancer by nearly 42%!
Fact #7
Even if you are a smoker, eating raw garlic can minimise the risk by at least 29%. More than green tea and exercise, garlic should be in your list.
Fact #8
Allicin and sulfur in garlic are given the credit. How to eat garlic? Well, crush a raw garlic and let it be there for two minutes. Eat it. The crushed garlic needs to be exposed to air for a minute or two to work more effectively.

According to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), people generally fall into one of sixteen personality types. These types account for all kinds of different people, with the behaviors of tendencies of people usually being the division basis of their type. INFP (Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perception), types are just one of the sixteen types that have been classified by the MBTI program. These types have many strong characteristics that set them apart from other classifications, as do the other fifteen types of groups. Before the INFP type is fully described, it is important people know what INFP types are, as well as their reactions to events in their lives.
What Are Some INFP Characteristics?
INFPs are usually deemed "mediators" as they are continually looking for methods to improve their current situations. They typically look for the good things in a situation, and while their ideas are usually not shared publicly, they usually have good methods in approaching situations. They are usually calm and reserved to the ones surrounding them, but they generally feel confident in themselves without the need to express it to their peers or those that are closest to them.
Generally they tend to have a few close friends, and they usually do not talk to that many people outside their circle, but usually they have reserved very creative and unique thoughts. While INFPs are typically seen as shy or in some cases "weird," it should be noted that these personality types are the forefront of many good ideas, and in some cases, inventions. Some of the most famous people that fall in this category are John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Carl Rogers, people with extraordinary ideas and creativity, but were more reserved to themselves than to embrace their fame or notoriety.
How Do They React To Stressful Situations?
Maybe the most prominent indicator of a person is their reactions to specific events, with the most common being stressful situations. INFPs usually have similar reactions to stressful situations, with the response usually being similar with each person that fits in this group.
During a stressful encounter to the person, feelings of self confidence and control are diminished, and replaced with self doubt and anxiety. Some will become depressed, where others may be cynical, but the reaction is usually not in the positive direction. They usually fret over the smallest of details, and will usually mull over past struggles or events that are no longer an issue. Stressful situations can sometimes make these people depressed and aggressive, in addition to having low self esteem high self doubt.

Babe Ruth's 1923 World Series pocket watch might fetch $750,000 at auction
The timepiece most identified with Major League Baseball's most famous player, Babe Ruth, is going up for auction next month after it had been considered long lost.
A pentagonally shaped pocket watch made of gold that was given to Ruth after the New York Yankees won the 1923 World Series might fetch $750,000 via Heritage Auctions on Feb. 22 in New York City. The watch, and others like it that were given to other ballplayers in that era, were the forerunners of the championship rings professional athletes receive today.
The watch is believed to be Ruth's first championship hardware of any kind — and it's certainly the only one known to exist. Ruth batted .368 with three homers in the '23 Series, which the Yankees won in six games against the crosstown New York Giants. Ruth's Boston Red Sox teams won three World Series in the previous decade, but this was the Babe's first championship in New York City. It also was the Yankees' first season at Yankee Stadium. The watch symbolizes a lot.
Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions at Dallas-based Heritage, told the Associated Press that the watch has passed through four owners after Ruth gave it to friend, Manhattan hotelier Charles Schwefel. When the current owner stepped forward, it was a surprise. He had bought it privately for $200,000 in 1988, long after the watch fell out of public view.
From the A.P.:
"No one knew where the piece had been. No one has ever seen it for public sale or public auction," Ivy said. "The fact that there was no news about it for so many decades, it was just thought that at some point it had been lost to time."
The 14-karat gold timepiece remained with Ruth until shortly before his death from cancer in 1948.
Simply by stepping forward, the current (and anonymous) owner of the watch was able to piece together what happened to the watch and why it seemed to have disappeared. The story isn't as fascinating as — say — what happened (NSFW) in "Pulp Fiction" with Butch's family watch. But it's a heartwarming tale.
The real value in the watch, as Ivy said, is what it symbolizes from the time Ruth received it. And that Ruth had it engraved for his "pal," Schwefel. It's like an autograph, but more permanent, so even though personalizations sometimes drive down the cost of memorabilia, Ruth's probably enhances it.
The Yankees should buy it and put it on display at the new Stadium. It won't cost against the luxury tax. They can afford a million-dollar artifact from the Ruthian age.

Guns in the Family: Firearm Storage Patterns in U.S. Homes With Children
Many children in the United States have access to firearms in their homes, and the consequences can be tragic. Public health agencies, organizations representing children, and groups representing firearm owners offer consistent guidelines about how to store firearms to make them inaccessible to children: unload them, lock them up, and store them separately from ammunition. Using nationally representative data from a large interview survey by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), RAND researchers examined the prevalence of firearms in U.S. homes with children under 18 years old and learned how those firearms are stored.

Meanwhile, House and Cuddy go on a double date with Sam and Wilson."

Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives

text: Very new to this site. I tried searching for this topic before I posted it but I didn't see a thread just for it alone. Anyway I do a lot of city residential and these old houses have some crazy small access ways to the back yards and some are huge yards to boot. I have a Troy Bilt 3n1 front wheel self propelled mower. It can do the job cutting wise fine, but I would like it to move faster. I am tall and it is easy for me to walk fast. My question is, what 21 inch self propelled mowers have good speeds to them? I have tried those Toro personal pace mowers and they are Not faster than these Lowes bought Troy Bilts. The rear wheel Troy is even slower. Looks like most mowers are built using the same drives and are about the same thing when it comes down to it. I don't see speeds listed for any of them. Only the Exmark Metro 26 says it goes 2-4.1 miles an hr. Is that really any faster than these regular mowers? I am doing these yards that nobody else wants to do and like a true obsessive compulsive I make them look great, which means sometimes double cutting to get the beautiful finnish. So line up your 21 inch self propelled mowers and lets race. You do you think wins? BTW this site is so cool. I will be reading for days on all these older but interesting posts.
