My current short script project "Dear Uncle" was previously called "The Farm" simply because I hadn't spent time with the title yet.
I'm almost finished with the first draft. The ending is too cute, though.
It is about a bitter, old man who wasted all his money and himself, and neglected his home, because he didn't wanted to leave anything to his brother, who abandoned him when they were young. But one day stands his unknown, pregnant niece at his doorstep and tells him that his brother is dead.

Continued from Part 3
nly in Nigeria: ASUU is on strike; universities are churning out half baked or sub-standard graduates, as the Kano State Coordinator of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr. Sanusi Abdulrasheed, has lamented that 89 percent of corps members in the country could neither write good application nor communicate effectively in English Language. The co-coordinator stated that the majority of the corps members were more at home with the use of "broken English" as a means of communication. More to that, according to ALLAfrica, The latest ranking of world universities released by the Times Higher Education (THE) for 2012-2013 has indicated that no Nigerian university made the list of the best 400 in the world. Who's surprised; when the Nigerian universities are awarding first class honours with reckless abandon, unlike when this writer graduated at UNN in the late 1980s, when passing of JAMB was harder than winning American Visa lottery, and the making of first class was like going to the moon and back. To add salt to the injury, the ruling class has abandoned the graduates and can't offer some of them jobs. The ruling class should blame itself for the poor quality graduates the universities are churning out, after it allowed the education sector to rot away; so, members of ruling class should be ready to employ the graduates their higher institutions trained, and not to tell them to create job for themselves. How can the graduates do that?
After using them, the states have dumped the corps members. After providing the states cheap labour, the corps members are being pushed away (at the end of the exercise), and this time, all that the respective state governors can tell the NYSC members, who served in their states, is that they should create job for themselves. The governors asked the corps members to help sustain Nigeria by deploying their energies towards nation building (to serve the interest of the ruling class better), but, when it comes to job for the graduates, the governors told the NYSC members to create jobs for themselves. Akwa Ibom State, the governor, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, advised the outgoing 2,893 corps members in the state to embrace self-employment. Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, urged the corps members to deploy their creative thinking into how to create jobs for themselves rather than roaming the streets in search of paid jobs. In Aregbesola's word: "You need to apply creativity more now in the face of unemployment bedeviling the nation. Focus more on self employment". Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, advised the outgoing corps members to train themselves to become self-reliant in order to assist government to tackle the problem of unemployment. Amaechi added that white collar jobs were no longer available for employable Nigerians. From report, it was only the Gombe State, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, who offered automatic employment to 13 NYSC members who distinguished themselves in the service year. The governor also announced N20, 000 transport fares to each of the 720 youths who served in that state, N500, 000 to the overall best corps member and N1m to the soldiers that conducted the passing out parade ceremony.
To put it in the most simple way: The members of the Nigerian ruling class should be ashamed of themselves for receiving the best education during their own university days, but are now mis-educating the Nigerian youths who look up to them for guidance. The ruling class forgot that Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874 –1936) wrote that "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another". Also, John W. Gardner (1912–2002) wrote that "Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants". Nigerians are really suffering everywhere. Did you read what the founder of the Mental Health Foundation, Dr Emmanuel Owoyemi, said that "Sixty four million Nigerians today are going through one form of mental illness or the other because everything that would cause mental illness is on the increase in Nigeria. Poverty is on the increase, hopelessness is on the increase, insecurity is on the increase. There is so much panic at heart, anxiety, high level depression. And also, there is no mental health policy in Nigeria right now; the National Assembly has been delaying in passing the Mental Health Bill. None of the psychiatric hospitals in Nigeria today has up to 1000 beds and we have over 160 million people.
We have about 150 psychiatrists; we have 34 neuro-surgeons in the whole country, meaning that, one point something million Nigerians is to one psychiatrist. How many people can one psychiatrist attend to within the 1.2 million or 1.3 million? So, we are not doing enough. The human capital is not there, the facility is not there, and yet everything that could cause mental illness is on the increase in Nigeria".
Paradoxically, while Nigeria and poor Nigerians are getting poorer, handful of Nigerians, especially politicians and government officials, are becoming (Nigerian) billionaires. No wonder that Pope Francis (1936) said that "elected men have taken it upon themselves to indebt their people to create an atmosphere of dependency. And why? For their own selfish need to increase their own personal power"! Verily, verily, as Edward Langley wrote, "What this country (Nigeria) needs are more unemployed politicians". In Nigeria now, we're witnessing the terrible increases in the incidence of oil theft, the over-dependence on oil, protests, marches, strikes, human alienation, poverty, illiteracy, high rate of unemployment and miseries. Because Nigeria depends entirely on oil, Nigerians have lost their creativity, ingenuity, inspiration, statesmanship and patriotism. There are only few Nigerians imbued with patriotism and loyalty to the country in Nigeria right now; so, Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828 – 1910) rightly predicted then that "The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born".
Definitely, we need to break our dependency on revenue from oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers, by developing our other sectors to compliment the oil resources. With oil gradually losing its global value, it becomes more and more crucial than ever that we take steps to diversify our economy and reduce our dependency on oil export. We must be committed to an increased electricity generation capability for rapid modernization and industrialization of the economy. No one would be accused of making an overstatement if he or she says that the non diversification of the Nigerian economy is killing Nigeria, encouraging criminal activities, influencing corruption and fuelling the high rate of unemployment. The President and Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Mr. Segun Aina, rightly pointed out that "the uncertainty in the oil and gas sector globally was a wakeup call for the diversification of the Nigerian economy". Even the richest black man on earth, Dangote, called for the diversification of Nigerian economy. Huhuonline.com wrote that "as part of strategies to diversify the nation's export base as well create more value for its crude oil, foremost industrialist and President/Chief Executive of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has tasked government to begin the production of petroleum products for export. Dangote said that with the discovery of crude oil in many African nations, fall of oil prices in the international market, and exploration of alternative sources of energy such as shale oil, the nation should seek ways of enhancing its economic sustainability.
One of the strategies he identified is refining and production of diverse petroleum products for export. He stated that with the creation of industries dedicated to the production of petroleum based products, there should be conscious effort by government and stakeholders to create a demand for these products in the local economy. He explained that Nigeria has a large population which translates to huge market if harnessed, adding that countries like China and India relied on their population to create a huge domestic market for products. Dangote also called on government to use the nation's abundant petroleum resources to drive the industrialization of the economy, adding that it is only through industrialization that value is added to raw materials.
A Vanguard editorial notes that "Perhaps more frightening, with all the positions on laying more solid foundations for the economy, away from the volatility of oil, not much has been done in the more than 40 years oil assumed podium position in our economy. Oil could become irrelevant quicker than the most optimistic predictions. Its damages to the environment, its unpredictable high prices that task planning even for the most advanced economies, the West's inability to control the vital resource, are increasing the pace of searches for alternatives to oil. Plans for the Nigerian economy are primed on oil. They would have been as simple as re-investing some oil revenue in other sectors of the economy. They have remained unimplemented. According to the World Bank's Nigeria Economic Report for May 2013, "Despite the recovery in oil prices, Nigeria expanded its fiscal stimulus significantly, increasing consolidated spending by an estimated 2.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product, GDP, and drawing down the remaining balance of the Excess Crude Account at the same time that many other oil exporters were building back their reserves". Oil still accounts for 95 percent of Nigeria's exports and 75 percent of consolidated budgetary revenues. Its mismanagement throws the economy into a spin. When the prices dip, or more thieves help themselves to the oil, as seems to be the case now, the economy wheels almost to a halt. Without a thorough planning of the economy, an indiscernible future awaits Nigerians. Our governments should rescue Nigerians from the blight of oil".
Nigeria imports petroleum products even from countries that have no oil. What a shame! For instance, Nigeria imports sub-standard refined petroleum products from countries such as Romania that has no oil, while Nigeria with its oil can't maintain and sustain its four refineries which are operating below full capacity due to lack of maintenance and corruption. A country like Nigeria is supposed to have upto 20 fully operational private refineries, but, those who import the petroleum products have put their personal interest above that of the country, and have sabotaged every effort to repair the existing refineries so that they can be fully operational. Also, those gaining from the rot have thwarted every effort to privatize the refineries or to build new ones until recently that few private ones started sprouting.
Just look at the insane economic policy Nigeria is operating: The federal government said that it reduced public spending on oil subsidy payments from N2.2 trillion in 2011 to N971 billion in 2012, and then the government started rejoicing about it. For what? The Finance Minister said that the reduction was over N1.2 trillion or 56%. In her words, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said: "In 2011, there was a huge public outcry. As a result, this administration has worked hard to clean up the process of subsidy payments. In response the ministry set up the Aig-Imoukhuede committee which investigated the subsidy payments. The committee was later elevated to a Presidential Committee by Mr President. The ministry hired new auditors and put in place different checks and balances, and last year, we brought subsidy payment down to about N950 billion, and we expect that this year, we will pay about N971 billion. I believe this is a huge achievement for which the Jonathan administration deserves some credit, something that should make Nigerians proud of their government. In furtherance of the Jonathan administration's commitment to transparency and accountability in the management of fuel subsidy payments, the Federal Ministry of Finance has released the sum of N46,764,191,448.16 as latest payment to oil marketers whose claims have successfully gone through the verification process. This means that, so far in 2013, a total of N287, 351,770,696.16 has been paid in verified claims to verified marketers". Ms Okonjo-Iweala and her economics are failing Nigeria; as a world celebrated bluestocking, Nigeria deserves better from Ms. Okonjo-Iweala. Check what the amount of money the minister was talking about could have done in fixing the ailing four refineries. The monies went into private pockets while the refineries continue to remain obsolete. Common economic sense should have told us that instead of paying individuals such whooping amount to import petroleum products, we ought to have invested it in the refineries, so that they will become fully operational and would employ more Nigerians, rather than sustaining other countries' infrastructures, businesses and people, while everything Nigeria suffer.
More to the above points; the different parts of the government seem not to be unified on any issue, as they give different and contradictory reports, just as Ndiigbo, in Ngwa dialect, say that "It's bad for the costume and the dancer wearing it to be dancing different styles at the same time (Ololo ndi agba odo, ogodo ya adi agba odo, adighi nma)". For instance, while the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) (Financial System Stability), Dr Kingsley Chinedu Moghalu, said last weekend, during a lecture delivered at the Golden Jubilee ceremony of the pioneer graduates of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), that the nation's economic performance had been rather weak. Exactly the same time and somewhere else, at the Independence Anniversary lecture organized by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, debunked claims that the economy is in a comatose state, and challenged anyone with contrary information about the economy to come out for a debate.
Moghalu noted that other emerging economies; in particular Malaysia, South Korea, China and India, who were behind or at the same economic pace with Nigeria in terms of growth in industrial production in the 1960s and 1970s, have transformed their economies. He rightly regretted that Nigeria's economic performance does not reflect its endowments. In his words: "With a population of 170 million people, Nigeria is generously endowed with human, physical and natural resources. The country is ranked the 6th largest producer of crude oil and also has the 6th largest gas reserves in the world. It also has very significant reserves of solid minerals which remain undeveloped. The country is richly endowed with about 34 different types of solid minerals in commercial quantities in about 450 locations across the country. Regrettably, Nigeria's economic performance had been rather weak and does not reflect the country's huge endowments. South Korea, China and India are not only far ahead of Nigeria but are major players in world economy today. Between 2005 and 2010, the average growth in industrial production for China, India, Brazil and Malaysia was 16.0, 8.0, 3.6, and 2.5 percent respectively while Nigeria recorded only 2.1 percent".
For Ms. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala: "The micro economy is stable, the economy is doing well. We may experience cash flow problem, that does not mean the economy is in problem. Nigeria is an asset rich country and its economy remains strong. If we are not doing well, people will not be coming to invest in the country. President Goodluck Jonathan and his cabinet members are not losing sleep over the nation's problem. The present challenges are not peculiar to Nigeria. We are not an island. Some of the problems we are facing are not strange. Even South Africa is battling with unemployment, and the government is fighting hard to salvage the situation. We are progressing and developing. There are a lot of emotional statements doing the rounds. Some people are saying Nigeria's economy is comatose. If the economy is comatose, where did Dangote see money to invest in refinery? If the economy is comatose, the private sector would be carrying placards by now".
But, slightly contradicting Ms. Okonjo-Iweala at the same forum, the President of Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Mr Goodie Ibru, while acknowledging that the Nigerian economy has undergone major transformation over the decade, added that "We have seen remarkable developments in the telecommunications sector, the entertainment industry, the manufacturing. However, the economy is still too dependent on oil and gas; weak in domestic production and local value addition. The diversification of the economy has become imperative and compelling. Disproportionate reliance on natural resources exposes the economy to tremendous risk of shocks and vulnerability".

WE've tried eating couple of times at the in house resto's of Hyatt Casino. One of which is the Market Cafe. Just as the same floor as the Casino :-) Their 24 hrs service mostly caters to the casino gamblers :-)
Their food was average compared to other Buffet Resto. Their buffet area and dining area are too small, and if you prefer to sit on a couch type chair you will find yourself having osteoporosis after dinner hahahaha. The couch is too far from the table giving yourself an extra effort and uncomfortable poise to have your dinner.
Last Christmas Eve, they had a promo dinner. In their brochures, it was stated "celebrate a white romantic Cristmas Eve with us" and so we were expecting a grand presentation and a fantastic dinner for a special occassion. Unfortunately it was a total disappointment. The food wasnt really good. Hard to chew grilled beef plus oily chocolate fondue! Their desserts wasnt really good as expected.

In general I hope that the Wii U drops the reliance on the wiimote. and prioritizes the pro controller. I don't mind as such that it still supports it. But I just don't see the long-term point in it. I mean really, apart from NMSBU, which specifically goes out of its way to prioritises its controls to match the Wiimote, what's the point? Also I've drunken 2 bottles of port. So forgive my general talking of utter shite. |

Bee-ware of the Texas beehive bandit
Honey and hive stolen from church garden
GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) - The theft of 150 pounds of honey from a beehive in a Georgetown community garden in Central Texas has left a sour taste in the mouths of those who tend to the land.
The First United Methodist Church community garden is a place to grow food for those in the community who are less fortunate and beehives help pollinate the plants.
So when news got out that someone stole part of the beehives, a lot of people got angry.
"The person knew what they were doing," said garden volunteer Davin Hoit, who helps manage the grounds.
The garden has three artificial beehives with busy bees making honey and also helps with the pollination. With just one season the garden has produced 1,330 pounds of crops, which is donated.
Someone took 150 pounds of honey from the hives this past week, about $2,000 worth.
The three man-made beehives were donated from Round Rock Honey, a local honey and bee company.
They said the thieves went straight to the chamber drawers that hold the honey, ignoring the queen and other bees.
The vegetables from the garden are sent to the "Caring Place," a nonprofit organization that helps feed people in the community.
"When we get those garden fresh vegetables in for these families, they are really excited about that," said Jon Stock of Caring Place. "It's just wrong. We spend all day helping people -- and to have someone just help themselves, taking food away from people who need it the most [is wrong]."
Round Rock Honey plans to put in lights and cameras around the garden to help protect the hives in the future.

Alleged movie theater gunman James Eagan Holmes is being evicted from his Aurora apartment because he booby-trapped his unit with bombs and "murdered numerous individuals," his landlord says in court filings.
Although Holmes has been jailed since July 20 for allegedly killing 12 people and wounding 58 others watching a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," he is technically still a tenant at 1690 Paris St., said Victor Sulzer, an attorney with the firm representing the landlord.
"His actions are a substantial violation of his lease," Sulzer said.
As he was being arrested, Holmes allegedly told police there were explosives in his apartment.
According to the suit filed Wednesday in Adams County Court, Holmes is being evicted because he "murdered numerous individuals, materially and substantially damaged the premises and booby-trapped the premises substantially endangering property and person."
Once the claim is processed by the court, Holmes, or a representative for him, will have to pick up his property, Sulzer said.
"There must still be some belongings in there otherwise we wouldn't be doing this," he said.
Should Holmes fail to send someone to retrieve his property, it will be put out on the curb in front of the building, Sulzer said.
Holmes' attorneys have been notified of the suit, Sulzer said,

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --Police have arrested a man on employee theft charges after he took $2,300 from a Family Dollar store register and walked out of the business.
Police say Adrian Durden, 43, was working at the store on University Blvd West for one day. Manager Joseph Bigham called police and told them Durden was seen on security cameras taking all the money out of the cash register and leaving.
Police say he took all the money out, concealed it on his person and exited the front of the store.
Police went to the suspect's apartment and could not find him. He was later found passed out in a nightclub by police the next night. The officer contacted the suspect's girlfriend who told the officer police were looking for him.
He was arrested and then taken to Shands Hospital due to severe intoxication.

Yesterday, April encouraged me to organize the boxes where I keep my comics, the comics I sell at conventions and store signings. While "encouraged" may sound like a euphemism for "she told me to do it," April has good reason. Until then, I kept these boxes under my desk and scattered throughout the office — with another box in the living room closet. Not a great system. Now, everything is conveniently stored in one location, and I was able to compile it as efficiently as possible. I have an entire box devoted to extras (copies of DEAD@17 ROUGH CUT VOL. 1-2, WESTERN TALES OF TERROR #2, SILENT FOREST TELEVISION PARODY SPECIAL, the two VIPER FREE COMIC BOOK DAY issues, and copious amounts of KARMA INCORPORATED #2-#3).
It was fun looking through these comics, stuff I haven't read in quite awhile.
It's encouraging to see what I've done since 2004, when I first printed SOME OTHER DAY. At the same time, I'll admit I have a few frustrations.
Staying as vague as possible, due to events beyond our control, there are some books that should be here that never made it to print. There were some proposals that never got picked up. More than putting another comic in print, I hate the missed opportunity to collaborate with those artists. (Is that vague enough?) Also, while I've enjoyed writing short stories, I wish I had more full-length comics, more graphic novels. Lastly, I haven't been able to work with nearly as many publishers as I would like.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm pessimistic. I'm more hopeful than anything, and just ready. I can't keep doing what I've done. I need to challenge myself, move forward, take the next step, the leap, the plunge, and all those other cliches. However, yesterday, I took some time to enjoy where I've been, and clear out some space under my desk in the process.

To be content and satisfied with your life and surroundings, even when something which may destroy these conditions is imminent. Generally requires the ability to be able to not be concerned about relative dangers nor your shortcomings in life, unless you happened to have achieve most your goals, in which case complacency will come. It is a good feeling to be complacent but difficult to achieve for some people. To be complacent all the things you want to have must overlap, if you desire something which you do not have you will not be fortunate enough to achieve this feeling. If you feel a genuine happiness it is accompanied by complacency.

This is a game with the Two Knights Tango that I think is a good example of how the knight isn't always weaker than the bishie (which most beginners like me originally though to be the reverse, a knight is always inferior to a bishop) although at the end of the game I bludnered and promptly resigned.
On move 23 should I have simply retreated my rook and did h5?
What about 23. ... Nxd2?
I think retreating your rook would be first. Or
I didn't checkevery possibility yet.Good game!
Hmm yeah, that'd be much better than what I did. Queen takes, nb3 fork. King takes, qb3 fork.

AT&T increases tethering plan by 2 GB, still charges way too much (TUAW.com)
Feb 3rd 2011 8:24AM You're comparing one US carrier among many against many carriers in another country.
As sad and backwards as it is, tethering costs extra *in the US.* Verizon charges for it, so does Sprint. That's how it works *in the US.*
And if you look at the details, AT&T is coming out ahead in one big way: when you add tethering on Verizon, for example, you get a 2GB bucket on top of your existing data plan. But that 2GB *is all you get for tethering*—if you go over that 2GB, you start getting charged $20/1GB.
On AT&T, if you go over the extra 2GB, you start dipping into the other 2GB available in your phone's the DataPro plan before incurring overage charges. Which, by the way, are $10/1GB on AT&T.

Canadian women's group protests phallic shape of Irish immigrant monument in Vancouver
Group says monument is too patriarchal and does not represent enough Irish women
The Remember Our Sisters (ROS), a women's activist group, are objecting to the proposed monument set for a Vancouver park recognizing the contributions of Irish immigrants in building Canada.
Their release said "Given that monuments are permanent, this imbalance will perpetuate into the future the fallacy of Irish women's unequal contribution to Canada.
They said the "central upright focal point ten feet high" is "such conventional phallic symbolism." They state that vertical monuments elsewhere have been moved away for this reason.
They say the planned monument at Thornton Park in Vancouver under-represents women, has a phallic design, and has values that aren't in harmony with Marker of Change, the park's existing monument to the 14 women shot and killed at L'Ecole Polytechnique, in Montreal, in 1989.
Brendan Flynn, project coordinator for the Ireland Canada Monument, told the Vancouver Sun newspaper the monument was inspired initially by President Mary McAleese's visit, in 2005.
Flynn said that after years of preparation the Irish Canadian committee planned on starting fundraising for the project. The monument will include a Celtic cross and list the names of the Irish the monument pays tribute to.
He said, "Our mandate is simple: to recognize Irish Canadians with no offence to anyone.
"We feel that the women's comments are excessive. The issues are before the city's park board and the art committee. We want to leave matters with them for now.

"This is very sad that this has happened. The last thing the Irish want to do is offend people."
On December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action Against Violence Against Women in Canada, the ROS, released a statement to the press. They complain that the monument will only mention 17 of the 120 Irish women who have made major contributions to Canadian society.
The ROS group believed that the inclusion of the cross on the Irish monument "would thus introduce religious and patriarchal aspects to the memorial gestures".
"Given that Thornton Park is such a small, flat park, we believe that it may only truly accommodate another public artwork whose values are in harmony with the existing memorial."
The monuments is currently going through the usual public process and will be on the agenda at the upcoming Public Art Committee meeting in Vancouver. It has already gone through public consultation – from 56 responses received 53 of them were positive.
The monument will have a central column, three meters in height, along with shorter columns, about 1.2 meters. Each column will be decorated with Irish traditional art. The area will also include three benches with ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers.

Green Mountain gives details of Luigi Lavazza espresso machine
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc unveiled details of the long-awaited single-cup espresso machine it will launch with Italy's Luigi Lavazza SpA, marking its entry into the espresso, cappuccino and latte brewer category.
The machine, to be called Keurig Rivo Cappuccino and Latte System, will have a suggested retail price of $229.99 and will be available exclusively at select Bloomingdales stores, starting in mid-November.
Green Mountain's machine will compete with Verismo coffee and espresso makers launched by Starbucks Corp in October.
Green Mountain, owner of the Keurig one-cup brewing system and the K-Cups that go with it, has been facing increased competition of late.
In September, certain patents governing K-Cups' design expired, leading to the emergence of a host of lower-cost competitors, including private label brands that are producing Keurig-compatible cups without a licensing agreement with Green Mountain.
Shares of Green Mountain closed at $24.74 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday.
(Corrects paragraph 2 to say the suggested retail price of the espresso machine to $229.99, not $299.99)

My friend and I stayed here together (both twenty-something women) and had a wonderful experience. Before coming to Rio my family was concerned about our safety as two women traveling, but this was the perfect place. The neighborhood is extremely safe. Additionally, the owner was so helpful in giving us advise on where to go to be safe. I felt like someone was looking out for me. He also was so welcoming! I did not feel uncomfortable at all coming and going.

I was alone in Rio for business and stayed several weeks at Marcos's place. I felt secured and well advised by Marcos. He is discreet, generous, meticulous and always in a good mood. The place is as charming and clean as in the pictures. The breakfast is delicious. It is so perfect that we can only be in respect of the place and its host Marcos.

The time we spent at Marco's place was better than we could ever imagine. The room was bright and clean and the apartment is what you might call a bijou. Marc was a perfect host and always helped out when we had a question. We highly recommend Marc's place to anyone who wants to go to Rio.

A perfect place to stay...clean, comfortable, with a wonderful engaging host fluent in many languages including English...could not have asked for a better experience!
4,6 su dicembre 10, 2012
We really enjoyed staying with Marc at his bed & breakfast in November 2012. His Ipanema apartment was a perfect location, very safe, lots of nice boutiques, cool restaurants, near the Favela elevator, Ipanema & Copacobana beaches, close to the Sunday Hippie market, and next door to a Devassa brewhouse cafe! (fantastic Brazillian craft beer) His place is on the top floor of a secured building with a doorman. The place is decorated very nicely, lots of sunlight, the bedrooms are a good size, and each have a private bathroom. The breakfast was perfect, served with the delicious local fruit in season. I've visited Rio once before staying at the Orla Copacabana. While the Orla was decent and across the street from Copacobana Beach, I realized that Ipanema was a much better place for Americans or other non-natives to stay. Also, the rooms at Marc's place were much nicer, and the neighborhood was safer with more things to do. Marc was also extremely helpful with his local knowledge and recommendations of things to do. He speaks many languages, which makes things easier as well! Among the things we did per his recommendations was visit the Lapa district on Saturday night, where they close off the streets and each bar/restaurant offers live music. We found one playing live Bossa Nova music and serving $2 beers, it was great! Will recommend Marc's place to all my friends visiting Rio, thaks Marc for a very memorable stay! Cheers! -Tom & Tracey from Los Angeles, California.

I must say i wasn't sure about starting the 2013 BOM as I wasn't too sure if I felt the finished project was very inspirational. However, having seen this block (as executed by you), I feel I might be more inspired! It's excellent and I'm indebted to you for making me wonder again whether I should do it! Well done!
Thanks. Glad I've made you begin to rethink making some of the 2013 BOM blks. I found this blk very easy to put together and I can see myself making this blk again in a future project. I look forward to seeing your blks.
Great block. Very stunning color combination. Like Patz In Suffolk stated, this block makes me want to give the 2013 BOM a second look. Thanks for sharing. :-) :-) :-)
Thanks. The nice thing about doing the 2013 BOM or 2012 BOM is that you learn new blks and you can always adjust the quilt to suit your needs. I'm enjoying this class and Laura is a good teacher with great tips. Give it a try and I look forward to seeing your blks.

PSU finance man Gary Schultz praised for 40 'distinguished' years
By Andrew Conte
Published: Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011,
Gary Schultz spent more than 40 years at Penn State University, so the school honored him by putting his name on a child care center that opened in September.
Schultz, 62, earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Penn State and went to work for the school in 1971, working his way up to senior vice president for finance and business when he retired in 2009. He managed a staff of 2,500 and oversaw human resources and the university police department.
When his successor left Penn State in July, Schultz returned to the position on an interim basis.
"Gary's contributions have been among the most significant in the history of Penn State," university President Graham B. Spanier said in 2008 when Schultz announced his retirement. "We will forever be grateful for the leadership, wisdom and hard work he provided to his alma mater during the course of a most distinguished career."
Schultz was charged on Saturday -- along with Tim Curley, Penn State's athletic director -- with a felony count of perjury and a summary charge of failing to report child abuse. Charges against the administrators are linked to the state's case against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who was charged with 40 counts related to the sexual abuse of children. Schultz and Curley are expected to surrender to police on Monday.
Schultz has chaired the Penn State Investment Council, which oversees more than $1.6 billion in endowments, and served on the boards of the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, among others.
Dr. Bob Capretto, an Oakmont orthodontist and Penn State alumnus who played football with Sandusky in the late 1960s, praised Schultz as "very smart" and "very unassuming." As someone in charge of spending the university's money, Schultz is one of the most important administrators at the school, he said.
"He basically built that university," Capretto said yesterday.
Curley and Schultz are not the type of administrators who would look the other way if presented with evidence of even a minor violation, Capretto said.
"They don't tolerate much," Capretto said. "They never intentionally broke the rules and worked very hard to know the rules. If it was done, I don't think it was intentional."

Seeing Billy Crook publicly blasted the 2011-12 NHS football team and program on FaceBook and said how they all sucked, who would want such a non-leader??
