ALBANY, Ga. -- Health care is constantly evolving and opening new avenues of communications. Making use of every available means of communicating with patients and those interested in health care, Phoebe Putney Health System has launched The Phoebe Blog Spot on its website.
While Facebook and Twitter sites are limited in the number of words or characters used, the blog provides space for more in-depth articles from Phoebe physicians, nurses, administrators and patients. It serves as a platform for medical professionals and executives to talk about health care issues, share general health information, announce hospital news, answer questions or simply engage in conversation.
"We want to have an interactive discussion on health care topics with patients and our community," says Rick Smith, corporate director of marketing and public relations for Phoebe Putney Health System. "Providing useful information which meets patient needs is just one more way we can help people manage their health."
Some of the titles that are already available on the blog include "The Importance of Colonoscopies," by Steven Yang, MD; "Could it be Alzheimer's?" by Kurt Klauburg, DO; and "Life Lessons From a (Formerly Busy) Mom," by Tracy Morgan, vice president of Women's and Children's Services.

It's been an interesting year for Saab and now things just keep getting better. AutoExpress is reporting that BMW and Saab are linking up to work on the new Audi A1 rivaling 9-2 .
Auto Express spoke with new boss Victor Muller at the recent Saab Festival in Trollhattan. "We could build the 9-2 on our own, but that wouldn't make sense," he said. "Thanks to the crisis in the industry, everyone is willing to share everything. So Spyker couldn't have bought Saab at a better time."
Saab will look to take advantage of BMW's joint project with PSA Peugeot Citroen. The group will work on a front-wheel drive chassis that will be on the new Mini . Front-wheel drive is in the company's history, so it seems like a smart buy for Saab.
For BMW, this also seems like a smart move. Gaining partnerships will help reduce the cost of the new Mini and it shouldn't hurt sales given the Mini's reputation. Yet, we haven't heard anything from either company, so we will have to wait and see.

The House of Tudor
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
The House of Tudor changed the history of Britain forever. The Tudor monarchs have been immortalised in novels and films for generations. However, the true history of this incredible dynasty is often romanticised and fact is overlooked. Alison Plowden's accessible and beautifully written history traces the family's turbulent reign of power from Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch, who fathered the great Henry VIII. Henry VIII went onto revolutionise England's armed forces and implement controversial reforms in England. Yet, he is perhaps most remembered for his tumultuous love life and the fates of his six wives, including Anne of Boleyn, who sparked an international crisis. He fathered four known offspring, including Mary I and Gloriana - Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, who reigned for 44 years in what is known as England's Golden Age. This book not only re-tells the familiar stories of these famous monarchs, revealing the truth behind the scandals; but it also recounts the history of the less well-known Tudor monarchs: Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey (the uncrowned Queen of England), and those who came directly before and after them - Edward IV and James I. If you read on history of the Tudors, make it this one - you are sure to be enthralled and surprised by how the facts are often more incredible than the fiction surrounding them.less

You are here.
There are an estimated five hundred billion galaxies in the known universe. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is an estimated thirty thousand parsecs wide. There are well over two hundred thousand astronomical units (AU) in a single parsec, with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. At the center of our galaxy lies a supermassive black hole. Billions of stars, some smaller than ours, some far larger, are born and die over the course of billions of years. And yet, among all of that tumult, we exist. Things like salted caramel hot cocoa and cute dogs and wireless internet exist. On a cosmic scale, we are smaller than the smallest speck of dust imaginable, but we have the capacity for things like calculus, language, jealousy, rage, and love. Our own tiny minds expand infinitely inward.
Remember this. Even on your lowest day, when you feel your worst, you are incredible, forged from materials blown from dying stars in the darkest sectors of space. You are significant. You exist. You are here.
I truly wish it would have been me over my little sister. She deserved to experience the joys and challenges of life, not be tossed away as medical waste. She would have a beautiful family of her own by now, children she could love and dote over. Instead, she ended up in a bio-hazard bag after only three short months of life, never knowing the loving touch of another human being.
My little sister looked much like this unborn child when her life was stolen away after twelve weeks in my mother's womb.
This blog and every child I save from abortion is in honor of her life. She will never be forgotten.
I'm really sorry for your loss.

TEAMS: Notre Dame Fighting Irish
NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock is apparently sick of hearing about Manti Te'o. So much so that he snapped at Rich Eisen during the NFL Network broadcast of the 2013 NFL Draft on Thursday night when Eisen brought up Te'o's name as he discussed the Notre Dame product's big fall on the night. Te'o and West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith both dropped out of the first round despite being projected as top picks at various points during the college football season. Smith and Te'o are both expected to go quickly on Day 2 of the draft, but where exactly they will land is anybody's guess. Eisen said, "some folks at home might think we're returning to it a little bit too much…" (referring to Te'o and Smith's drops), and Mayock jumped in with "some folks on the desk might think that…" as he raised his hand. Eisen then tried to justify why they kept bringing both names up, in what was an awkward exchange. See for yourself:

If you're looking to take the bus to the Augusta Mall or Regional Airport right now, you'd be out of luck. But if one group gets their way, that route could be a reality."There was actually some data showing us we should be expanding the system," said Denice Traina.Traina oversees transit issues for the Augusta Interfaith Coalition, a group that encompasses the bus riding citizens that stood up at tonight's Commission meeting to ask to be part of the discussion as Augusta looks for a new transportation operator."It's an exciting place to live in," she said. "But we lack that one amenity that businesses and residents look for."Commissioners agree, and say they're looking for additional services in their next provider."We are looking for extended service and expanded service," said Commissioner Alvin Mason. "That gets one from point "A" to point "B" in this county in a timely fashion, on time."One issue still on the table is whether or not bus services will be run by the city or contracted out to another provider, an issue commissioners hope doesn't bog down Interfaith's main concern."I'm not so interested whether we run it inside or outside," said Mason. "But I am interested in making sure we have the services necessary for our citizens."With the clock ticking down until Mobility's current transit contract with the city is terminated, concerned bus riders are hoping they're not in for a rough ride.

A last-minute deal at Friday's White House meeting to avert the fiscal cliff appears highly unlikely, according to senior officials on both sides, with President Barack Obama expected to renew his demands for a plan to raise taxes on families who earn more than $250,000.
Obama summoned House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to the Friday afternoon meeting before a year-end deadline where about $500 billion of tax hikes and spending cuts are slated to take effect if Washington doesn't act. The meeting is expected to last at least one hour.
(Also on POLITICO: Why they want to go over the cliff)
What appears more likely is either a bipartisan recognition that a deal is out of reach, or, at best, lawmakers would agree to continue talking before the New Year's Day deadline.
At the meeting, Obama is expected to make what the White House considers a scaled-back offer -- one to raise taxes on income over $250,000, extend jobless benefits, delay defense and domestic cuts and patch the Alternative Minimum Tax, sources say. Raising taxes at that level is a non-starter for Republicans, who want far more in spending cuts.
(See also: Pols on cliff deal: Hopeful, hopeless)
Even if Obama moves off that offer -- which the White House outlined last week -- McConnell and Boehner almost certainly wouldn't sign on to anything before checking with their respective caucuses if they believe it stands a remote chance of passing muster with the GOP. And senior Republicans said Friday there was virtually no possibility that McConnell would back a deal that couldn't pass the House, meaning it would need significant Republican support, something that has been elusive in any Democratic proposal put forward thus far.
Such meetings of the four leaders rarely lead to agreements, officials said, and the tension between leaders from both parties is running high after a series of barbed attacks over the stalemate in recent days.
Staff-level talks have taken place between the White House and McConnell's office over the last day, something that has been rare in the fiscal cliff talks until this point. But officials in both parties say there's been little movement to bridge the gap between the two sides.
"I don't think much comes out of this meeting per se," Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl, a close McConnell confidant, said Friday morning. "But the preparation for the meeting and some of the things that are said in it could cause other conversations to occur. That's generally the way these things work."
Asked if the Senate GOP would cut a deal without Boehner's blessing, Kyl said: "I think that's pretty unlikely. If you know the House isn't going to do something, then why go through the charade? Then it becomes political gamesmanship."
North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, the chief GOP deputy whip, said it would "take a monumental move" for a deal to be reached. He added that if Obama pitches a plan to set the tax threshold at $250,000, "I think we can just sorta laugh at it."
Last Friday, Obama proposed what the White House considered a scaled-back plan from its earlier offers in order to get past the immediate crush of spending cuts and tax hikes poised to hit the economy.
But Republicans -- most of whom are dead set against any tax increases -- say a plan to set the threshold at $250,000 cannot pass the House, especially if Obama does not offer to cut deeper into Medicare and other entitlement programs than he has so far. Democrats said Friday that if the GOP ups its demands on spending cuts, a deal would be unlikely before the first of the year.
Carrie Budoff Brown, John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman contributed to this report.

"Ray Bradbury was fascinated with the project. He wrote 'I watched the finishing touches being put on a second computerized, electric- and air-pressure driven humanoid that will 'live' at Disneyland from this summer on (1965). I saw this new effigy of Mr. Lincoln sit, stand, shift his arms, turn his wrists, twitch his fingers, put his hands behind his back, turn his head, look at me, blink and prepare to speak. In those few moments I was filled with an awe I have rarely felt in my life.' He claimed, 'Only a few hundred years ago all this would have been considered blasphemous, I thought. To create man is not man's business, but God's, it would have been said. Disney and every technician with him would have been bundled and burned at the stake in 1600.' Bradbury declared, 'Disney is the first to make a robot that is convincingly real, that looks, speaks, and acts like a man. Disney has set the history of humanized robots on its way toward wider, more fantastic excursions into the needs of civilization.' "
Ray Bradbury quotes appeared in the October 1965 issue of Holiday magazine, collected and published in The Disneyland Story by Sam Gennawey,

ASSE's Women in Safety Engineering Group Honors AL's Martha Bidez as One of 100 Women Making a Difference in Safety
The American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) Women in Safety Engineering (WISE) Common Interest Group has honored Martha Bidez, Ph.D., of Birmingham, AL, for making a difference in the safety, health and environmental (SH&E) field as part of the WISE '100 Women, Making a Difference in Safety' project. Women from around the world and throughout history have been honored for their dedication to protecting people, property and the environment and for going above and beyond to make a difference.
With more than 25 years of experience in the safety, health and environmental (SH&E) field, Bidez is currently a professor and graduate program director of the Master of Engineering in Advanced Safety Engineering and Management at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Engineering. She is also the President and CEO of BioEchoes, a biomedical engineering professional services firm that provides a proactive, results-oriented approach to system safety and technical training in the realm of workplace safety and health. Bidez is an internationally renowned biomedical engineer, business entrepreneur and systems safety consultant with experience in serious injury investigation, academic research and instruction.
In 1992, shortly after earning tenure at UAB, Bidez served as the founding Director of Injury Prevention for the university's Injury Control Research Center, which at the time was one of only seven centers of its kind in the country, and was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She has investigated hundreds of motor vehicle crashes and has identified many areas of need for updated public policy regarding regulation of safety vehicles and she has submitted reports, as well as testified, regarding the need for improved Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
In addition to her many professional accomplishments, Bidez is a member of the Alabama Chapter of ASSE and is an avid volunteer. She has received numerous honors for her accomplishments and was named a National Leadership Fellow of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (1993-1996), a UAB Distinguished Alumnus (1998), Alabama's Business Women of the Year (2002), was an inaugural inductee into the Alabama Women Business Owners Hall of Fame (2003) and was a recipient of the Jesse J. Lewis Community Service Award (2005) for her work in serving Birmingham's homeless women and children. She recently was named the 2011 Educator of the Year by the International Society of Safety Engineers for her leadership in developing the first-of-its-kind graduate degree track within the UAB School of Engineering. Bidez has also been featured in an episode of ABC's popular 20/20, addressing child auto safety, and was featured in the book Women Who Mean Business – Success Stories of Women Over Forty. She is passionate about volunteer service and was a founding director, Board President and volunteer for more than 20 years for Pathways, a Birmingham-based NGO that provides comprehensive services to homeless women and children. Bidez is also a member of the Board of Trustees for the Union Institute and University in Cincinnati, OH.
The '100 Women, Making a Difference in Safety' project honors women who, throughout history, have dedicated their careers to promoting innovation in safety, health and environmental issues. The valuable contributions of women to the SH&E profession have been recognized through this project and later this year WISE will consolidate the profiles of all 100 honorees into a single publication, titled 100 Women, Making a Difference in the Safety, Health and Environmental Profession as part of ASSE's (1911-2011) 100th anniversary.
WISE was established to foster the advancement of women in the SH&E profession. The group provides professional development opportunities, evaluates the ongoing state of women in SH&E, mentors women in the profession, provides opportunities for women to obtain professional certifications and promotes the development and peer review of written material related to issues specific to women in the SH&E workplace. For more information about WISE and upcoming events, please visit www.asse.org/practicespecialties/wise/mission.php.
Founded in 1911 and celebrating its centennial, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the oldest professional safety society and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 34,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members lead, manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor, healthcare and education. For more information, please go to www.asse.org and to view the new ASSE – A Century of Safety film go to www.asse.org/assecenturyofsafety.

O Music Awards Performers GIVERS Talk Hometown Tunes
The O Music Awards is mere days away, so in preparation for the big event, we've been chatting with the various and sundry performers who will be sharing the bill with The Flaming Lips as they motor toward their goal of breaking the Guinness World Record for the most live concerts in 24 Hours (multiple city). Last week, we chatted up Louisiana's own Hunter Hayes, and today we touch proverbial base with another LA resident and OMA performer: the band GIVERS.
For those of you just tuning in, the next O Music Awards is kicking off on June 27 at 7:30pm EST in Memphis, Tennessee, and will stretch across 24 hours and 8 cities in the form of a road trip. In addition to giving away awards and the like, we've also enlisted The Flaming Lips to break the Guinness World Record for the most live concerts in 24 hours (multiple city) during the show, as well as an eclectic selection of performers to play with/open for the band. GIVERS will be taking the stage not far from their hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, on June 28 in Baton Rouge.
We caught up with the band's Tiffany Lamson and Taylor Guarisco to talk about their impending show, their hometown and how stoked they are to open for the Lips.
So what are you guys doing to prepare for opening for The Flaming Lips?
Tiffany: Lots of pushups
Taylor: Well, we haven't played a show in a long while, so I think we'll get together and play some of our songs. Lately we've kind of been in the mindset of getting together and making up new songs. Because it's going to be streamed, we're not going to play any new songs. We're just getting ready emotionally; we're meditating every day getting ready for the Wayne Coyne experience
And are you guys fans of The Flaming Lips?
Taylor: Oh yeah! Everyone in the band is very excited to be opening for such an amazing band. You know, they're one of those bands you put on its own unique pedestal. It's hard to compare them to other bands, it's so cool.
You guys have kind of the home team advantage — playing in the South where you're from.
Tiffany: Yeah, it's totally part of our home.
Taylor: Home team advantage, haha that's funny.
You know all the local customs better than anyone else coming all from New York.
Taylor: Are going to be a part of the crew?
Yeah, I'll be on the bus with the Lips
Taylor: No f**king way!
Tiffany: You're going to be on the bus with the Lips?! Are you excited? This interview just got turned around. You're going to be on the bus with the Lips. Oh my God! What are you going to be doing?
I'm going to be doing social media and writing about what's happening and basically being in touch with the fans and letting them know what's going on.
Tiffany: Smoking drugs and rock and rolling!
Taylor: Brenna, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
How old am I? I'm 27.
Taylor: 27, Brenna you sound so young and innocent.
Tiffany: Your voice sounds so sweet.
It's all an act, don't worry.
Taylor: Good, I'm sure rock bands like The Flaming Lips love acts like that. That's going to be so cool. That's really cool that you get to do that. That might even be cooler than opening up for them. That's so cool.
We'll have to compare notes when we get to Baton Rouge.
Taylor: Yeah totally.
So one of the cool parts about the show is the fact that it's traveling through the birthplace of rock 'n' roll. I know you guys are both involved in all different kinds of regional and local music in Louisiana. I was wondering if you can tell us about the flavor of music from where you're from and what we can expect when we come through.
Taylor: It's a huge spectrum of flavors in Louisiana, you know? You have people like Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong that defined and redefined genres like jazz and rock 'n' roll. R&B, Funk music, and then you have all the Cajun and Zydeco groups. Southwest Louisiana — where we're from in particular — is the only place you can kind of experience authentic Cajun and Zydeco music. So when you step back and look at Louisiana as a bed of music, it's one of the most fertile beds out there. It seems cool that The Flaming Lips would come down and do shows in Baton Rouge. As a band, we're just really happy to be raised and somehow be incarnated in these bodies that happened to end up in Louisiana, you know?
And you guys sort of cut your teeth on Zydeco and all that. Is that something we're going to see next week?
Taylor: That's like a 'yes' and 'no' question. As far as you know. I've played in an Zydeco band for a few years and a Cajun band for a few years playing bass. I had that experience, but the rest of the band had other experiences, playing rock or jazz ensembles and classical music. Everyone in the band has had their own unique music experience. But between five of us, there is definitely some Zydeco and Cajun experience.
You have another tie to the show in that one of the nominees is La Blogothèque's new show The Switch. You were in the first episode, no?
Tiffany: Yeah, that was probably to us one of the coolest things we ever got to do as far as the Internet world goes. We're all such huge fans of La Blogothèque — what they stand for, their passion for music. It was something we felt really honored to be a part of. They're such cool people and they love music so much it was so nice that they loved us and had us there.
Taylor: The magical part of that experience was the energy and effort they put into the experience, like setting up for weeks –- the whole apartment situation. They set up all this stuff to create an environment where anything could happen. Where something chaotic can happen, which is so next level. To put weeks and weeks of preparation into something and then to put all faith into one band — that they will just pull something off, create something great with one take, one shot. They spent weeks setting cameras, getting audio, satellite feed, moving furniture, and then they just pressed 'record.'
Considering that we're a show that focuses on technology, music and social media, I was wondering what your favorite apps are?
Taylor: Well Tiff and I — most of us in the band — are on Instagram, and we enjoy our Instagram world for sure. The standard Twitter and Instagram — we're all up on that sh*t checking it out.
Tiffany: We're all right on Twitter.
Taylor: Tiff is like the Twitter queen for our band.
Tiffany: I don't think you should say that.
Taylor: Well, she's not the Twitter queen, but she does a good job on keeping up with it, which I respect. It's a tool, it's a communication tool and she mans the tool very well. As far as apps that I personally could not live without aside from Twitter and Instagram, I would say my tuner.
One last question: Since you guys are from the area, what do we need to see while we're there? In a dream world where we have ample time to stop?
Taylor: Our hometown of Lafayette in Louisiana is one of the only places you can experience authentic Zydeco and Cajun music. So in a dream world, if all you guys have time, I'd say stop off in Lafayette. Get off the bus and come to some Zydeco club where some Cajun band is playing and everyone in the crowd is dancing with each other and sweating profusely and not caring and everyone's drinking beer and having the time of their life. That's what I'd tell you to do.

So did Kevin and Winnie end up getting married?
I keep thinking that if the show was still on, it would be 1990. So basically, the pics in this thread are of Winnie Cooper circa the late 80s.

Coordinating Council provides feedback, affirms 2012 Task Force report
David Hull, chair, asks members of the 2012 Task Force to share with the Coordinating Council, former moderators, partners and state and regional coordinators what they love about CBF.
By Patricia Heys and Lance Wallace, CBF Communications
Friday, February 24, 2012
ATLANTA – At the February meeting of the CBF Coordinating Council, members affirmed a report from the 2012 Task Force, which was appointed in 2010 to move the conversation forward on restructuring the larger Cooperative Baptist Fellowship community.
Council members, partner and state/regional CBF leadership and former moderators received the report prior to the meeting, listened to a presentation from the Task Force and then met in small groups to discuss and offer feedback. On Friday, the Task Force presented to the Coordinating Council "Continuing Work Areas" as a response to the feedback. The report and "Continuing Work Areas" are available online at www.thefellowship.info/2012taskforce.
"We came with recommendations, which were the result of a lot of hard work, but we wanted your input as we move forward," said David Hull, chair of the Task Force and pastor of First Baptist Church in Huntsville, Ala. "We heard a strong sense of affirmation, and we appreciate that. And we heard questions and concerns, and we appreciate that as well. We realize we still have work to do, and we appreciate your help in pointing out where that needs to happen."
The Task Force will give continued attention on the work areas listed and then provide a revised report to Council members on April 15. Council members will vote on the updated report on May 1. The final plan will be made available for public consideration no later than 30 days prior to the General Assembly, which will receive, discuss and vote on the report. The 2012 General Assembly is planned June 20-23 in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Also during the Council meeting, CBF Executive Coordinator Daniel Vestal reflected on his ever-changing role with the organization and on the Fellowship's vision statement, mission statement and core values.
"I have had to reinvent myself about five times in this role," Vestal said. "I've been here 15 years, but I've had about five jobs. It's been sort of a roller coaster. I have had to change my role because the organization has changed, and there have been different expectations of me along the way. As we discern the changes being recommended to us by the Task Force, I want us to keep [our mission, vision and values] in front of us. Our task is to organize ourselves in ways that will help us more faithfully live out our mission, live out our vision and be true to our core values."
The Council received reports on the following:
• The finance committee submitted a $12.4 million budget for 2012-2013 fiscal year, which was approved by the Council. The committee also presented a motion to develop and implement a conflict of interest questionnaire, which would be signed annually by staff and Council members. This motion was approved by the Council.
• Larry Hurst, the Fellowship's controller, reported that as of Jan. 31, the Fellowship's revenues were at $4.32 million, 99 percent of the projected amount and expenditures were at $3.96 million, 90 percent of projections.
• The Council approved a motion from the Council's officers to hire an interim executive coordinator. With input from the Council's Personnel Committee, the officers will move forward in selecting a candidate, who will begin no later than July 1, 2012.
• Moderator Colleen Burroughs, vice president of Birmingham-based Passport Inc., and moderator-elect Keith Herron, senior pastor of Holmeswood Baptist Church in Kansas City, Mo., have been invited to attend a gathering of goodwill Baptists March 7 at the White House. As part of the Fellowship's partnership with the Baptist Center for Ethics and D.C. Baptist Convention, Burroughs and Herron and other Baptists will dialogue with White House officials about issues relating to Baptists.
• Jack Glasgow, past-moderator and senior pastor of Zebulon Baptist Church, Zebulon, N.C., provide an update from the Executive Coordinator Search Committee. The committee met in Dallas in January and will meet next in April in Atlanta.
"We didn't feel any pressure to work too quickly, so we let the religious calendar set our agenda," Glasgow said. "We decided to let the Lenten season be a time when we call ourselves and the whole Fellowship community to a time of prayer. And we mean that sincerely. We thank you for your confidence in us and ask that you are in prayer for us as we seek to find the leader that God has called."
The next meeting of the CBF Coordinating will be held June 20 in Fort Worth, Texas, prior to the 2012 CBF General Assembly.
CBF is a fellowship of Baptist Christians and churches who share a passion for the Great Commission and a commitment to Baptist principles of faith and practice. The Fellowship's mission is to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission.

I just received this jacket recently. Very disappointed. This jacket looks really nice on but the quality itself is not that great.

This is gorgeous! Need to order it soon :)

Beige Lapel Long Sleeve Zipper Wool Coat
I'd just got this home yesterday! I am a Small and thats the size i chose when i ordered, but i felt that i was a bit too small in the back, so personally i would have chosen an Medium instead. The fluffy part sheds ALOT, youre unable to wear anything that is black or dark because it will get white at one second.. But the good thing is that i think the jacket is SO warm and extremely nice on, so i love it. But i bought it for about 8 euro i think(insane sale), so i wouldnt buy it for full price..
Also looks great - does anybody know how it looks in real life? This is a perfect Winter jacket
Looks nice, have somebody bought it?
How is the size please??
Osiblemente lo proximo que me compre

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy knew it would need vital information from the Pacific. Nationalist China was particularly well-suited to provide vital information about the Japanese and the Pacific weather patterns. Captain Milton 'Mary' Miles journeyed to China to set up weather stations and monitor the Chinese coastline—and to spy on the Japanese. After a meeting and a handshake agreement with Chiang Kai-shek's spymaster, General Dai Li, the Sino-American Cooperative Organization was born.

Abe's speech disappoints Tokyo
The yen rallies and Japanese stocks fall after the Prime Minister's latest plan to reboot his nation's economy fails to inspire investors.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe disappointed Wednesday. He was supposed to pull another rabbit out of his hat -- but his latest speech not only didn't deliver a rabbit, it barely showed the hat.
Abe's speech had been billed as the next stage -- Stage 3 -- in his plan to revive the Japanese economy. Talk in Tokyo and press reports were that he would lay out a plan that would push cash from Japan's public pension funds -- with their $2 trillion in assets -- from Japanese government bonds to domestic stocks and overseas assets. That would be enough, market analysts speculated, to reverse the upward trend in the yen and end the correction in Japanese stocks.But the actual speech was disappointingly short on specifics. The prime minister said he would promote private sector investment. He will ask for legislation to open up the energy, health, and infrastructure sectors to foreign investment -- as part of an effort to double foreign investment in Japan by 2020. He wants to see 3% annual growth.
But, and this is critical, Abe never got more specific on changes to public pension investment than to say a group of experts would make recommendations for changes in the fall.
The speculation in Tokyo is that Abe decided not to get more specific, in order to avoid conflict with powerful interests in agriculture and other Japanese industries ahead of the July 21 election for the upper house of Parliament.
And with that, the yen resumed its rally against the U.S. dollar. As of 3 p.m. New York time on Wednesday the yen traded at 99.21 to the dollar. We're in critical territory here since 99.5 has, so far, marked the top of the range for the yen versus the dollar (with 103.50 as the bottom.)
An end of the day dollar rally back to that level would stabilize the market—for the day—but a significant drop below 99 would likely lead to another round of yen buying. (The Nikkei 225 ($N225) fell another 3.8% overnight.)
The key data point over the next few days is the U.S. jobs report for May, due on Friday morning. The consensus forecast has slumped slightly in the last few days, to 159,000 from 166,000, according to economists surveyed by Briefing.com. That would be a slight drop from the 165,000 net jobs added by the economy in April.
U.S. stock markets were rattled Wednesday by the drop in Tokyo and by the jobs numbers for May in the private ADP survey released earlier in the day. That survey doesn't always track the government survey results to be announced on Friday, but the market isn't inclined to overlook the significant miss -- 135,000 jobs added, versus a consensus among economists of 157,000. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) ended the day down 1.38% to 1,609. That puts the index into critical territory: a 50% retracement of the April-May move would take the index down to 1611. The 50-day moving average for the index sits at 1608.
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. When in 2010 I started the mutual fund I manage, Jubak Global Equity Fund, I liquidated all my individual stock holdings and put the money into the fund.

Title: Movies in the Park.Outtake from a recent shoot at Ah-Nab-Awen Park in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. My assignment for ExperienceGR was to shoot a cityscape at night, while showcasing the people in the park.Of course, this posed some few "problems"… 1) Night shots/long exposures require just that a longer exposure, so I had to find a happy middle with people blurred to ambient lighting.2) The movie screen, again long exposure, but I made the best of it and down the road their design department can always insert any movie still in the space provided.3) The weather, mother nature works with you and sometimes against you - I made her cooperate even if she didn't want to do so!Hope you enjoy!
Title: Potty Break.I have a thing for photographing toilets… this location was like winning the lotto!
Title: Air Force.Outtake from a recent shoot at Reynolds & Sons - Downtown, Grand Rapids, Michigan.Shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, and off camera flash via sync-cord with a Canon 580 EX II Speedlite.
Title: On the Move.
As a photographer… one thing you need to master early on is how perspective affects your photos.
So what is perspective? In geek terms it is the dimension of objections and their relationship to the space between them, or in easy terms it's the way your eyes relate to the objects in an image. Example: The farther the object, the smaller it becomes.
Another interesting thing that happens with perspective is how it plays with lines in your composition. Lines will look as if they are coming closer and closer together the farther away from your eyes and near vanish as they approach the horizon in the distance. Buildings tend to reach out, bend and distort as they jump towards the skyline.Because of everything mentioned above… perspective is one of the most important elements in photography and it is the secret key to any composition. As a photographer your relation perspective determines how a viewer is intended to see your photograph - it moves their eyes and helps instruct them what you want them not only to see, but feel in your photo.
Title: High Fashion.I came across a memory card sitting at the bottom of a bag that I've not used since early summer of 2012… much to my surprise there were photos still on it!So what was on the card? and how is it possible that I didn't miss them right away? Those are a few very good questions! However it happens to the best of photographers and it felt like I won the lottery when I discovered these recovered images.The SD-Card had just over 20 photos on it and images ranged from window display/reflection shots, streetscapes, street photography, and random items from around town. Upon examining the card further, and thanks to EXIF data, I came to the conclusion that the photos were taken while touring a group around downtown Grand Rapids.The photo above was one of the images and is a window display that much to my surprise included me in one of the reflections. So I guess that makes this find a win-win!Photo taken with a Fujifilm X100. Settings: Exposure 1/60th, Aperture f/4.0, Focal Length 23mm, ISO 640, and an Exposure Bias of -0.33 EV.
Title: Trinketry.I feel like giving out a photography trick/tip today… I'm often asked: "How do you get your metals to look so metallic in your photos?" and that question is often followed up with "Can I have that preset?"So here you have it - my answers!
Q: How do you get your metals to look so metallic in your photos?A: I use a Polarizing Filter and almost always shoot with a Macro Lens to bring out the textures. A polarizer will help block out all unwanted light and bring the true sheen out of any metallic surface… they are not just for landscapes! Having said that; you need to shoot on an angle if you are going to use one of these filters on metallics… that way you will not take away some of the wanted reflections and highlights needed to give the photo depth. This is where "practice makes perfect" comes in to play.Q: Can I have that preset?A: If you have to ask that, see question 1. Secondly the more you process metallics the worse their outcome. Strive to shoot it right in camera with proper lighting, that will give you the optimal shine and surface textures.
Title: Curly-Cues.What's not to love about this photo? Enjoy the smile.
Title: Merry Chr.I'm usually not too keen on Christmas imagery… BUT, I do love the softness and depth of field in this shot. Again - I love the windows at Minty Keen, great eye candy for goods and reflections!
Title: Skating Through.I wish I would have taken this shot prior to my "Windows of Light" gallery show… might be my new favorite window/reflection shot to date. Window Location: Christmas/Holiday window at Minty Keen in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Title: The Dead of Night.Today in celebration of Halloween I'm sharing a Zombie Portrait from this past weekend's Zombie Dash in Grand Rapids, Michigan. What a blast… 400+ zombies and streets full of runners! When I look back on this portrait I instantly smile. Yes, a zombie chick made me smile. What I like most about this one is that I instantly recall how as she noticed me and my camera rig she went from a fierce and vicious zombie to a beautiful zombie gal with one amazing smile. She smile for only a few seconds and then went right back into character and went on her way of chasing down runners. Photo taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, outfitted with an EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. As for the lighting - I was running around with a Vagabond Mini power pack and a single AlienBee 400 with a silver 22" beauty dish attached.

Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Earlier this week, I had mentioned in my email newsletter that Nathan was embarrassed to let his friends know that he knits. Well, I got so many email responses from wonderful, supportive readers that I thought it would be great to post this on Steamy Kitchen and let Nathan read all the responses.
Last Thursday, we had a neurological check up for his epilepsy (which is now under control, thankfully) and he had to draw blood for routine analysis. Nathan is terrified of the needles (as am I) – we were in the waiting room for a good 20 minutes while he cringed in the corner. Every time the door opened and a nurse came out to call the next victim's name, Nathan would just have this dreadful look. Poor baby.
He tried so hard to convince me that the nurses were out to lunch already and maybe we should come back another day (didn't work). When they finally called his name, he took the tinest of baby steps, hoping that by the time he reached the evil blood sucking station, they'd forget about him (nope). Without any other excuse or stalling tactic in his pocket – he braved the needle. Surprisingly, no screams, no tears this time. He gave up, gritted his teeth and took it like a big boy.
We walked out and I said, "You were so awesome that I'm going to let you ditch school the rest of the day!" And so we partied the rest of the afternoon, frozen yogurt with 3 toppings, Barnes & Noble book spree, lunch at McDonalds and a visit to my local yarn store, The Good Yarn in Sarasota. Owner Susan and the ladies who work there are amazing – they've seen me through my beginner days when they sat patiently teaching me how to knit – and have watched me grow into a freaky speedy knitter who has trouble finishing projects because there's always something shiny new catching my eye (I know, I have issues).
My boys have always embraced arts and craft (though, what kid doesn't?!), so much that we built a 'craft room' in the back of the house, filled with markers of every shade, enough glitter to fill the swimming pool, crafty paper in pretty patterns and a massive square table to work on. This is also where I keep the yarn stash, I think we have enough yarn to knit a striped scarf from here to Texas.
Part of my yarn stash. Some of my needles. I keep the straight and double pointed needles in vintage blue glass mason jars. The rest of my yarn stash is hidden from my husband.
Normally, when I go to the yarn shop, the boys are with me and they LOVE helping wind the yarn, picking out colors with me and getting tons of attention from the ladies who come to sit around the table to knit. It's social hour every hour there at The Good Yarn.
A pillow I've got to finish up – based on The Beekeeper's Quilt by Tiny Owl Knits – knitting a giant quilt that takes a year to finish is too big of a project for me, but a pillow for the couch is perfect!
This particular afternoon, Nathan asked Amy, one of the ladies who works there, if she could teach him how to knit. A little boy asking to knit!? In a roomful of cheek pinching grandmothers!? It was as if angels overhead had started singing.
I've known Amy for a long time now – my first stitch that I casted on was 9 years ago, when I was pregnant with Andrew. Mimi (what my kids call Scott's mom) taught me the basic stitches and I took off from there, daydreaming about knitting baby booties and cuddly hats. Amy taught me the rest – complicated stitches, how to read patterns and walked several miles going around and around in the store looking for the perfect yarn for my project. She even knew me when I told her, "I think I want to start a food blog."
My boys looooove Amy. And so Nathan sat down with her and she began teaching him, step by step, stitch by stitch.
While at the shop, he finished a little knitted patch, Amy helped him bind off and they tied the two ends together to make it into a cool necklace which he proudly wore. He was so excited and proud of himself that he spent his own allowance to buy needles and a skein of bright green yarn.
On the way to school to pick up Andrew, he took off his necklace, put it in my purse and said to me, "Mommy, I took it off because I don't want my friends to laugh at me for knitting, okay?"
awwwwww….sobsobsob…..oh that's so sad. But I didn't say anything to him right then while I was driving….there really was nothing I could say that would change his mind at that time. It would take more than "mommy saying so." I needed references, support, physical proof that manly men knit, that knitting was cool, that the kids at school wouldn't make fun of him (or if they did, that it wouldn't matter.)
My winter yarn is at the bottom…you can tell summer is almost here by the happy colors on top!
After I sent out the email to my newsletter subscribers, reader Kathy emailed, "I thought you might like to know about Rosey Grier. He was a pro football player, whose hobby was knitting and needlepoint. He even wrote a book about needlepoint for men. You can't get more manly than that. You can Google him and read all about it."
Another reader, Faleen, pointed out that football great, Rosey Grier, wrote a book on needlepoint and loved to knit! I've just now found out that Laurence Fishburne, Ringo Star and Russell Crowe knit too.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and any special messages you have for Nathan – I'll be reading the responses to him!
Dear Nathan,
I remember reading in one of Diana Gabaldon's time traveler books that Scottish men who lived during the time of Bonnie Prince Charlie knitted! They did it when they were walking from one place to another and when they were hunting – that is when they were waiting for the boar/deer to show up. This means that men throughout the ages have knitted! It's just grown to be more a woman's craft in recent times. So, you are just a member of the historical society of men who knit. Well done! It's great to hear that you have learned a craft with such a long tradition and history. It also great that in this day and age, the men & women roles are blurring, in other words, men can do things which were thought to be things only women did traditionally and women can do things that were traditionally thought that only men can do. It's really gives everyone a sense of freedom because it means that we (whether men or women) can do what we like or what we are gifted at without being limited to what we are supposed to be doing according to our sex. ^_^
I think it's awesome that he wants to learn to knit – I always like a man with a hobby
Love your gorgeous stash, and especially that pillow! What a great project. Sooo tempted… but no, I've got to finish all the ones I've started!
Oh, and Su Su's right! Jamie Fraser and Ian Murray of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books are both knitters!
check this trailer out for a DVD about men knitting. Your son should be proud to have the dexterity to learn to knit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jYa_rJyG18
Lots of guys I know knit, we all seem to enjoy it. I've made enough hats to give to everyone I know overtime. There are lots of opportunities online to find good sources of things to knit, socks are particularly fun and useful. You can see a lot of them online on a knitting website (http://www.ravlery.com, you have to have an account) that has a lot of patterns and places you can ask questions if you get stuck on a pattern, its a lot of fun and even if you stop doing it for a while, you will come back. My nanny taught me to crochet when I was about 10 and I didn't do it for many years, but started again when I was older. I'm happy that I have those memories, keep up the good work and have your mom post some photos of your work.
I say no boundaries these days. My son had a doll, and he's now 23, relatively normal (lol) and off to get his phd. You met him at FBF, totally well balanced kid. My daughter played every sport known to man, including more manly ones. She's still a tomboy and it's all good. I think it's healthy to let them pursue their interests regardless of gender roles and peer pressure. He's a total cutie and you're great parents. So it's all good. And seriously there's ballers that do it so it can't be all bad.
Hi, Nathan!
It is SO GOOD that you knit! Think of all the wonderful things you can make for yourself, your family, and your friends! I know that your friends would really appreciate a hat or scarf that you made for them, and would probably wear them all the time. Maybe some of your guy friends want to knit, or already do, but are too shy or embarrassed to say so. Maybe some of them don't even know what knitting is, and you might spark that creativity and curiosity in them. You can teach them! My partner, Mike, is trying to learn to knit, and my son, Ethan, is still too little to be able to knit, but he pretends. I know even more guys who crochet! There are probably a lot more men and boys that knit than you think! Good for you for doing what you like. You are inspirational.
Happy knitting, kid!
Well, my nephew Kai is 6, lives in Palo Alto, and really loves to knit. I can understand your concern, but I don't think anyone has made fun of him for it. Yet. I know it's hard, but if you let everyone decide what you should do, you will never do anything you enjoy! The more boys and men knit, the more 'normal' it will become, so my advice to you is to do what you love.
Dear Nathan,
You inspired me to start on kniting. I always wanted to do kniting, but by looking at the needles.. I thought I might not able to do it.. So i forget about it. By reading this post.. I am so inspired because if little Nathan can do it.. A grown up aunt like me sure can too.. Haha.. Thank you again and keep knitting ya..
That's awesome Nathan loves to knit! Love your storage for your stash!
this might be the unpopular position to take but I think it's okay not to inform people about things they likely will not understand or appreciate. I don't think Nathan has to hide his knitting but maybe the kids at school aren't ready yet?
please delete if you don't want him to read this.
The term knitting was originally knotting, which is what the fisherman used to have to know. It was always done by men at one time. Macramé is another form of the same genre. Cub Scouts are taught a lot of knots, and my 9 year old grandson is extremely adept at knot tying, which has earned him recognition. Knitting is simply knotting with tools, so it must be higher on the evolutionary scale, I'm thinking! Go, Nathan! I used to love to knit, and I learned the Scandinavian method, which is about 10 times faster than the way we Americans do it. I may even go back to it one day.
Oh, and here's another little known fact: During WWII lots of boys knitted things for our soldiers. My brother was one of them. He enjoyed a lifelong interest in knotting as an adult and learned many techniques like the monkey's fist and other knots that are practical as well as decorative. The beginners knitted scarves and caps, and with more experience, they learned to knit socks and gloves which were so badly needed by our soldiers that thousands of men, women, boys, and girls did it to keep the supply up with the tremendous need.

Eating In
Vegan or Bacon?
Brussels sprouts swing both ways
Brussels sprouts with bacon is hardly a new idea, but the combination has taken off lately. Now the pairing is a menu meme, a darling of online recipe searches and food TV. But those green brassica balls also go effortlessly and deliciously, for example, in that most vegetarian of dishes: the leafy salad.

Baseball Neighborhood
Life in the shadow of Miller Park
complete coverage: multimedia website
By Robert Modlinski
What makes a good neighborhood? Is it the people? The businesses? For most folks it seems to be safety for their families, and a place to have some fun. Nestled between interstate 94, West State Street, and North Hawley Road in Milwaukee, Story Hill is a quaint area with pretty homes, tall trees, and two spacious parks. However, just like the stark contrast between Wisconsin winters and summers, Story Hill has a sportier side to it. It includes something that looks like a giant Martian spaceship that landed a stone's throw away.
Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club, is directly south of Story Hill. It is one of six ballparks in the Major Leagues to have a retractable roof, giving it the spaceship appearance. The neighborhood even has its own Las Vegas-style "strip" in West Blue Mound Road where there are copious places to grab a beer or some food before the ballgame.
Story Hill is a different place six or seven months out of the year. For at least 81 home games April through September (October if the team makes the post-season), Story Hill is injected with baseball fans. Many bars have shuttle services to take fans to and from the stadium, saving them the hassle of parking and traffic in the ballpark lots. The shuttles also keep fans who may have had too much to drink, off the roads. But just because they are off the roads, doesn't mean they are out of the neighborhood.
"I'll get home from work at night and find puke and pee in my driveway and garbage cans," said Laura Boese, a newcomer to Story Hill.
Boese lives directly behind J&B's Blue Ribbon Bar and Grill on the northeast corner of 53rd Street and Blue Mound. She grew up on the north side of Milwaukee and relocated to the west side after admiring the homes in Story Hill.
"There's always something going on, it's very centrally located," she said.
Boese describes herself as a Brewers fan, but pays attention to their schedule for different reasons. She has been late for work because of increased traffic around her house during the summer.
"I plan my whole schedule around the games," she said. "During homestands and home games I either stay home, or stay as far away as possible to avoid all the traffic. When I do go to games, by the eighth inning I am out of there."
While she does occasionally find drunken fans passed out on her sidewalk, she insists that it's not a big deal. Dane Laitinen, a fellow Story Hill neighbor, has had similar issues.
"You can definitely tell when they win or lose; when they win, you have your happy drunks, and when they lose, you have your sour drunks," he said.
Laitinen and his wife and son live on Wisconsin Avenue, only a block north of Blue Mound. He admits that he has never been to a game at Miller Park, since he is a football fan, but holds no ill will toward Brewers fans. Other than some isolated incidents, he says it is a good neighborhood to raise a family.
"After one game, my son and I were taking a walk and we come around the corner to see a girl taking a leak on our big tree in our front yard," he said. "I had to tell my son to look away, but other than that, everything is fine."
Baseball Neighborhood
Sandy Rusch is not only a die-hard Brewers fan, but the Story Hill Neighborhood Association President. She acknowledges that Story Hill is a "baseball neighborhood."
"Story Hill has embraced our proximity to a Major League baseball park since County Stadium was constructed in the early 1950s." she said. "Many Story Hill neighbors choose to live here because of our closeness to the stadium."
Rusch recognizes the number of fans that cause heavier traffic around the neighborhood.
"As the Brewers have enjoyed larger crowds these past few years, we've worked with the Brewers on hiring off-duty Milwaukee Police Department officers to help regulate traffic flow," she said.
She is also proud of the relationship that the Brewers and Story Hill have built.
"I'm happy to say that we have a good relationship with the Brewers," she said. "We invite Brewers personnel to our neighborhood meetings so Story Hill residents can keep up to date on Miller Park happenings, and we can share any concerns or ideas."
Coming Alive
For three of the last four years, the Brewers have attracted over three million fans to the stadium. That is above the National League average, and the team has ranked 11th or better in yearly attendance since 2008 out of all 30 Major League Baseball teams. Two of the last four years, the team has posted a winning record on the field. Winning brings out more fans, and that means success for businesses in Story Hill.
Rusch knows the importance of the Brewers for business.
"Blue Mound businesses do count on those 81 Brewers home games and the thousands of fans that come into the neighborhood to help their individual bottom lines," she said. "Gas stations benefit from the extra traffic, too."
Alderman Michael Murphy realizes the impact the Brewers have on places fans can go on game days.
"It is great for the taverns, you have roughly 80 games a year, 30 to 40 thousand people at almost each game, many of which may stop before or after for a bite to eat or drink," he said. "Restaurants and taverns do quite well."
Murphy is in his fifth term serving as alderman for the tenth district. He understands the pros and cons of being a "baseball neighborhood."
"The traffic makes a big impact, and residents may have issues parking," he said.
In order to combat that issue of parking, on some Story Hill streets there are signs that ban parking one hour before or after stadium events. Rusch explained why that rule has been around for a long time.
"The rule is what the neighbors wanted, going back to the Milwaukee Braves days in the 1950s and 60s," she said.
Alderman Murphy recognizes the issues that come along with being so close to the park, but encourages people to head out to games.
"If you love baseball you can walk to the game and meet new friends, and also the paying customers that want to park in your driveway," he said. "I wouldn't be able to think of a better recreational event in this city."
Many business owners would also agree with the alderman. To the bars and restaurants on Blue Mound, the baseball season is what the Christmas season is for shopping malls.
Cheryl Briggs is a bartender at Kelly's Bleachers, a popular bar on Blue Mound. Every year she looks forward to the season.
"It's money-making season," she said. "As soon as March Madness comes, and spring training starts, I know I'm going to make more money."
She loves the atmosphere at Miller Park when she is at games, but likes to work more often when the team is in town.
"This is what it is all about, people watching baseball, drinking and having a good time. It is Milwaukee after all!" she said.
Matt Skalnik owns a relatively new restaurant on the northwest corner of 53rd and Blue Mound. He named it Frankie's Sammiches and it has been open since last June, but is just now starting to feel the positive effects of the baseball season.
"Last year, we really depended on the neighborhood folks during ball games, because most fans weren't aware of us yet," he said. "They wanted to stick with what they know."
Skalnik understood that it takes time to get your name out there and be noticed. He has made friends with his fellow street mates to gain camaraderie among business owners.
"We are all a big family, rooting for each other like we root for the team," he said. "The foot traffic during the ballgames, that's a huge number of people that walk by for each and every game, its almost guaranteed revenue. That's huge."
Fellow business owner W Chang understands what it is like to cater to a crowd. He runs a mobile food truck named Tigerbite, operating out of a kitchen on Blue Mound. He feeds fans after they have migrated away from the ballpark after games.
"Generally we tend to stay away from the ballpark, just because there is so much traffic, but after games get out, especially on weekends, downtown fills up pretty quick with hungry people," he said.
Rusch knows that the Brewers are important not only to Story Hill, but Milwaukee as a whole. She appreciates the team in her home city.
"I literally can see the investment that the Brewers have made in this city by building Miller Park, and their continued commitment to keeping Major League Baseball in Milwaukee," she said.

Gary Urwin, a former Bridgecorp director who was jailed for two years after admitting misleading investors, is to appeal his prison sentence.
At his sentencing earlier this month, Justice Pamela Andrews rejected a bid from Urwin's lawyer David Reece for home detention.
Reece told the New Zealand Herald on Tuesday that an appeal against the jail sentence would be lodged in the coming days.
Urwin pleaded guilty in November to 10 Securities Act charges of misleading investors in the finance company, which owed $459 million to 14,500 investors when it failed in 2007.
After sentencing crown prosecutor Brian Dickey said it was important for investors that Urwin went to jail.
"That's the message, hopefully, for others, and perhaps a vindication or comfort for investors that he has gone to jail," he said.
Fellow directors Rod Petricevic, Rob Roest and Peter Steigrad are awaiting sentence after they were found guilty this month of Securities Act charges following a six-month trial.
Petricevic and Roest were also found guilty of Crimes Act charges.
Petricevic will be sentenced on Thursday with Justice Geoffrey Venning saying it was inevitable that he would be imprisoned.
Bridgecorp chairman Bruce Davidson was sentenced last October to home detention and ordered to pay $500,000 in reparation, after admitting Securities Act charges.

Those muffins look and sound great. Good combination - chocolate and bananas. It works for me.
It's awesome to not only hear that from just a few people about running relieving pain. Very cool picture of Yup poor dog!ReplyDelete

Phone number located in London, United Kingdom.
This number calls several times a day! When you pick up, they usually hang up. -Extremely annoying!!!
Once or twice they ask for me by name, (foreign accent). My wife gave them a telling off and asked them not to phone again last time they rang. They have not rung back today, so hopefully they may have got the message!
Foreign sounding voice called me referred to me by name.
"I am not trying to sell only provide info."
"Who supplies Energy?"
"How do you pay? "Then lists methods
"What age are you? You sound vibrant are you in 30's" (I am 68)
"What is your month of Birth so that we can get the right person when someone calls back in a day or two"
I would like to take legal action. I am on TPS and do not want unsolicited calls.
How can this company get away with this? It must be illegal
Asked if they were speaking to mrs C (my maiden name - which my son still uses) I said they had wrong number as voice sounded weird , they then asked if my address was ......... Which it was but I didn't say it was they then asked to speak to my son by name, I said he wasn't here - they then put the phone down. I really don't like the fact that they had his name AND address
Said she alas asking about energy . Said my voice was young, was I in my 40's. In fact I am much older. Was she targeting older people? When she asked me what day I was born on, I replied Thursday, and then told her I didn't give out personal details over the phone. She said goodbye and hung up. I belong to the TPS. What more can I do?
