Featured review from Mister Opinion
view more less of this reviewIf you're at all a fan of Spalding Gray's work, this is a show you need to see. Though I recognized a few pieces from his public work, most of the text of this 90-minute intermission-less show is drawn from journals and unperformed work. I saw the first preview, so the actors hadn't really caught their stride yet, but even with that, this was a very enjoyable show.
star this review starred report as inappropriateMost of the work you hear will be for the first time. Spalding Gray fans should make this a must see. Cast is, for the most part, very good and will only get better with time.
Very nice small theatre. Comfortable and nice staff.
star this review starred report as inappropriateGood choice for this company, but the performances (as of the preview) could have used a *lot* more work.
First, I was a little worried about pulling bits and pieces from Gray's oeuvre and trying to cobble together a single 90-minute show (why...continued

"Hilarious … side-splittingly funny … poignant and unflinchingly sentimental."—_San Francisco Bay Guardian _
Shockingly neurotic, brutally funny, and in love with the crazy world around him, Spalding Gray invented the autobiographical monologue as we know it today. Spalding became famous throughout the world for such unforgettable pieces as _Swimming to Cambodia, _Monster in a Box and Gray's Anatomy.
Here, in Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell, his collaborator and widow, Kathleen Russo, conceived a way for Gray's words to live after on after his passing in a vibrant, creative and unexpected way. Her loving concept was to have five actors, of mixed age and gender, take on parts of Gray's psyche: love, family, career, adventure and, of course, journal. Then she mixed together beloved sections of his famous works, along with never-before heard private writings, into a 90-minute narration that is both familiar and unexpected.
The result is a sum greater than its parts. Not only are we reminded of the genius of Spalding Gray, but we are treated to an even greater insight to the man and his complicated, funny and touching private life.
Custom Made's production comes just after the release of Steven Soderbergh's documentary on Spalding Gray, And Everything is Going Fine. Gray is truly alive in both theatre and film, and Custom Made is proud to present the Bay Area Premiere of this remarkable play.
With: Leah S. Abrams, Patrick Barresi, AJ Davenport, Gabriel A. Ross and Richard Wenzel.

We are very excited to be preparing for our Interfaith trip to Israel, "Building Bridges at Any Age," which will take place in late October to early November. Cedar Village and Otterbein Homes will be the first to conduct an interfaith mission with older adults.
At this moment, we have seven residents from Cedar Village and five from Otterbein. Since we staff on a one-to-one basis and also have a need for some additional support staff, the total group number is around 30!
The two lead clergypersons, Rabbi Gerry Walter and Associate Pastor Barbara Schnecker, have developed an eight session curriculum that introduces each group to the others' faith, tradition and culture. We are meeting, alternatively, at Cedar Village and at Otterbein and at each session we are learning, getting to know one another and preparing for our big adventure.
It will be a ten day, action packed mission that will include structured learning and discussion as well as a diverse set of shared experiences. Thank you for helping to make this trip possible.

Definition: A situation that is hopelessly fucked up. The worst of three stages of goat-ness. First is the Goat Rope, defined else where. Then there is the utilitraian Goat Fuck. This normally requires a serious amount of work to unfuck. Lastly, there is the Goat Rodeo. The worst of the three, it is beyond even profanity. It describes a situation that involves many individuals screw ups, and implies that the fuck up is already well underway, meaning that there is no hope in stopping the mess. Usually said with a defeated tone:
Example: Ready to go to this Goat Rodeo? Its gonna be terrible.

The first time I paid attention to Olympic Size was a Thursday in January at the Record Bar. It wasn't the band I had come to see, but as Billy Smith and Kirsten Paludan harmonized on haunting folk-pop songs, I was touched. Sitting alone in the club's front booth, I fought back tears when they sang, The hardest part of letting go is tonight, don't let it show.
Five months later, the heartbreak that "The Hardest Part" reminded me of has mostly healed. But the song — along with the other nine tracks on Olympic Size's long-awaited LP, You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone — retains its soul-stirring capacity.
That power results from a combination of mellow, electronic-tinged folk music and straightforward lyrics about life's inevitabilities and lonely moments.
Technically, the bittersweet masterpiece of You'll Miss Me took the band just under a year to record (hence the glacial imagery on the cover). But some of the songs are rooted back even further, to the days before Olympic Size was Olympic-sized, when it was just Smith and Wade Williamson playing midtown bars on off nights.
Core members Smith, Paludan, Williamson and Chris Tolle joined me for drinks in the backroom of the Bulldog one recent afternoon to discuss the new album and the evolution of their band.
They decided to make the appropriately titled You'll Miss Me when longtime drummer Pete LaPorte announced that he was moving. (Ryan Pope replaced him.)
O-Size followers may notice some differences between the recordings and the more stripped-down songs they were introduced to live. Among the added elements on the album: glockenspiel, violin, cabasa and a horn section. "A song's not done being written until it's recorded," Williamson explains.
"And even then it might not be done," Paludan adds.
Although the roster has swelled to include up to eight members at any given concert, the band's off-night tendency hasn't changed — you'll hardly ever catch Olympic Size playing anywhere on a Friday or Saturday night. There's a reason for that. In spite of some recent national attention, Olympic Size remains a side project whose members' résumés include prominent KC and Lawrence bands of past and present, such as Roman Numerals, the Kirsten Paludan Band, the Get Up Kids, the Stella Link, the Belles and Bellweather.
"This is a side project, I guess, in the way that everyone is the leader of their own band," says Tolle, who also fronts the Belles. "Everyone brings their best leadership and follower qualities."
They bring those qualities to a living-room practice space every week. When someone's on tour, everyone at least gets there mentally. "When I was on the road with Roman Numerals," Smith says, "I'd send everyone e-mails that we had 'telepathic practice on Sunday.'"
Having written abstract songs for years for Dirtnap and Roman Numerals, Smith tries hard — at the urging of his more pop-savvy bandmates — not to try so hard lyrically with Olympic Size. "It kind of makes me really have to speak something simple and something truthful," he says.
Example: the opening line of "47th Street." In the song, he declares, I swear that this happened, before describing a car wreck that he then turns into a relationship metaphor. It's probably not the deepest concept he's ever explored, but it resonates.
"Our songs are universal," Paludan says.
The theme of one song was universal enough for MTV to slip it into an episode of The Real World. Last fall, "Friends" helped amp up the drama of a tearful goodbye scene.
"It's weird when a song you've written years ago, that comes from a specific place, ends up in a teen drama," Tolle says.
Which isn't to say he doesn't want it to happen again.
The band pressed and hand-numbered just 150 copies of You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone, some of which will be available Friday, June 20, when Olympic Size plays at the Brick.
With any luck, one of the CDs will get into the hands of someone who will release the album on a larger scale. Then maybe Olympic Size will stop being a side project, already, and start making people cry in bars everywhere.

Hi: 15° Lo:1°
A MAN with tumours on his spine faces an agonising wait to discover his fate because of a delay in his transport to hospital.
Alcester resident Alistair Williams missed the vital appointment at Leamington Spa Hospital last Friday (May 16) to assess his condition because an ambulance failed to collect him in time.
Despite booking with the non-emergency Patient Transport Service, run by West Midlands Ambulance Service, the Blackthorn Way resident was left waiting at his home for hours before the ambulance turned up after his scheduled appointment time.
"My appointment was supposed to be for 1.30pm then it changed to 2pm but the ambulance didn't arrive to collect me until 2.30pm," he told the Standard.
"The driver then told me he had to pick someone else up from Stratford on the way so we wouldn't get to the hospital until after 3.30pm - two hours after my appointment."
He added because of the mix-up he would be unable to see a specialist before July.
"I now have to wait in this pain. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, I'm just in agony," he said.
"It gets worse everyday and the stress of all of this has just made it worse.
"No one rang me, and the driver didn't even apologise or give a reason. It's just disgusting."
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said they were sorry for the delay.
"Our Control Room should have called Mr Williams and the hospital to inform them of the delay.
"This appears not to have happened, for which we again apologise."

Rakeen completes structural work and block work on Bab Al Bahr
Rakeen, one of the region's most dynamic property developers and master planners, has announced that structural work and block work of the Bab Al Bahr project, the centrepiece development of Al Marjan Island, the first man-made island in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, are 100 per cent complete, while craftsmen have already started working on the external plaster work. Rakeen further revealed that the project remains firmly on schedule with the first wave of six residential buildings to be delivered within the year and various infrastructure facilities expected to be completed in time for the handover.
Bab Al Bahr serves as a gateway to Al Marjan Island, a fully integrated island community that is destined to be a major landmark in Ras Al Khaimah. Upon completion, Bab Al Bahr will comprise 328 studio apartments, 420 one-bedroom apartments, 172 two-bedroom apartments and 72 three-bedroom apartments.
Yahia Kambris, Technical Director, Rakeen, said: "Bab Al Bahr is set to be Ras Al Khaimah's most exquisite, tranquil and naturally breathtaking beachfront address, bringing alive our vision to create the finest in island living. With the excellent pace of construction work, excitement has certainly been building up among all stakeholders of the project, particularly the future home owners of Bab Al Bahr, as the entire community gradually and steadily takes shape by the day."
"Rakeen remains firmly committed to adhere to the project schedule and we are thrilled to announce that we are nearing handover of six residential buildings. In line with this, key infrastructure facilities are being constructed ahead of schedule and will be ready in time for the handover," added Kambris.
Bab Al Bahr offers a range of luxurious amenities, including a 180-degree sea view, 560-metre private beach, gym facilities, underground car parking, ample children's play areas, and hotel and club privileges. Bab Al Bahr is the inaugural development project on Al Marjan Island, while leading regional and international developers are likewise building other high-profile projects on the prestigious integrated island development.

Chef, I apologize for seeming to hijack your thread, but felt like I needed to explain the reasoning behind my choices. I did a float tube trip on the Iroquois river earlier in the year before I blew out those discs, (October, 2004), & I'm quite sure that the short 3' wooden paddle kept me more mobile than fins in the shallower stretches, but having a few "go to"options are essential. The only way you can keep your options open is to take as much with you as you care to carry, then hope you have enough of the right stuff, just in case you actually have a need. I've found that experience is the best teacher, learn & know the waters your going on, then make up a gear list with at least one alternative for each thing you decide to take with you, listing it's priority of importance. Things like carrying stick matches in a small waterproof medicine bottle, & also keeping a couple of good butane lighters full are also a couple of items that I carry, wherever I go. TP+corncob (scratch the spare corncob) Matches don't take up much space but corncobs do. Well, .... you know what I mean right?
I float a toon' down the yakima river often. I believe the danger of fishing while running the river is dangerous in a pontoon. If I hook a big fish, lose my concentration for a moment, and come into a corner....could be curtains. Not a good plan. I'd leave the fins at home and use the pontoon for transport when floating rivers.

ASIA/INDIA - Hundreds of children survive behind the train station in Varanasi, victims of abuse and exploitation
Varanasi (Agenzia Fides) - Hundreds of children live and roam every day behind the train station in Varanasi, Uttar - Pradesh, in the north of the Country, crossed daily by more than 300,000 passengers. Behind lies Charbhuja Shahid, a monstrous slum immersed in mud where 200 families live in huts made of trash and where young children are abused, neglected and exploited. This is reported by Sister Manju, of the Indian Service of Missions and co-founder, together with father Abhishiktanand, of DARE, the first and only NGO that has managed to enter into this urban slum where they is extreme poverty and where people live in stolen vehicles and semi-trailers that they use as a shelter, children who are lost or who are alone, abandoned, fled, rejected because suffering from some disability or for the mere fact of being female. The young ones earn their living by picking up trash and debris, begging, stealing or submitting to sexual abuse by domestic tourists and occasional visitors. In Charbhuja Shahid, says Sister Manju, these children collect garbage, fill water bottles and sell them. Currently the DARE center, opened in 2010, 8 kilometers from Varanasi, accepts only girls, and there are about thirty. Others can stay there to play, learn, relax for a few hours. The nun is not viewed highly especially by parents who exploit children, because she tries to save them instead.
The objective of DARE is, however, to build a new center and to have more space. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 16/10/2013 )

hey whats thi thread about ???????
"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible, I chose Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small!
Well, seeing as this isn't the naruto forum where a question worth of 7 question marks normally is. As such you must be so confused on the subject matter of this thread (noting by the 7 question marks) so as the good forum goer would I'll break it down to a level of understanding
a thread titled "Sig of the Week Discussion Thread"
Sig = refers to the signature, in the case of many forums this means a signature image
Of The = these words can be explained here and here
Week = a period of seven successive days, usually understood as beginning with Sunday and ending with Saturday.
Discussion = I know this this is a odd word for you as to talk about something at length is not done in the forums you visit, logical and thought out discussion is also not there as well so seeing such a word must have confused you. A "Discussion" is the talking about the subject matter at hand. With the words before it being "Sig of the week" refers to we are discussing the "Sig of the week". which is also a contest that this forum has every week.
As well the title of the thread does indeed refer to subject matter, that is what must have confused you in addition to the words themselves. I know this rarely happens in the forums you must have come from.
if you have any questions possibly this isn't the place for them, maybe another nartard...er I mean naruto fan friend you have can break it down more.

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion...updated aviation
National Weather Service St Louis MO
713 am CDT Sat Apr 25 2015
Short term: (through this evening)
issued at 240 am CDT Sat Apr 25 2015
Well advertised storm system will bring two rounds of showers and
thunderstorms to the County Warning Area over the next 12 hours. The first round is
just now taking shape as warm advection increases ahead of the
shortwave now lifting from the Southern Plains into the lower
Missouri River valley. Surface low pressure depicted by model
guidance the past few days seems to be associated with well defined
mesoscale convective vortex on regional radar currently spinning in far southeast Nebraska.
Showers and thunderstorms should continue to develop from northwest
Missouri to southeast Missouri and lift north through the predawn
hours. Dry slot will push through the southeastern half of the County Warning Area
ahead of the low pressure this morning and early afternoon. This
will cause the band of warm advection showers and thunderstorms to
steadily March northeast of the County Warning Area. It will also set the stage for
at least some breaks in the cloud cover south of Interstate 70 and
instability to increase this afternoon.
The second round of precipitation today will take shape later this
morning and into the afternoon as the low pressure center traverses
east-southeast across the County Warning Area. Rain showers and isolated
thunderstorms will accompany the low pressure center (mcv) and
additional thunderstorm development is likely ahead of and to the
south of the surface low. Storm Prediction Center continues to highlight the likelihood
of severe thunderstorm development this afternoon, mainly southeast
of the St. Louis Metro. Latest explicit model guidance depicts
discrete storm development between 2 PM and 4 PM just south of St.
Louis, with this activity exiting the County Warning Area shortly after 7 PM. Large
hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary threats with the
supercells this afternoon and early this evening. The threat of
tornadoes is more conditional and will likely hinge on how much
instability can be realized ahead of the low and if the surface
winds can remain backed across this area.
Long term: (tonight through friday)
issued at 240 am CDT Sat Apr 25 2015
Showers will come to an end from northwest to southeast this
evening and clearing is still expected on Sunday with below normal
temperatures. Rest of the forecast remains unchanged with
temperatures gradually returning to normal by the end of the week
and precipitation chances remaining low.
Aviation: (for the 12z tafs through 12z Sunday morning)
issued at 642 am CDT Sat Apr 25 2015
Aviation overview: a slow-moving low pressure system will move
east-southeast across the region today. Periods of rain showers/thunderstorms and rain are
expected at all taf sites at different times of the day depending
on each terminal's location relative to the track of the low
pressure system. A trailing cold front will then move through the
region tonight behind the departing low pressure system.
Specifics for kcou: initially IFR ceilings at taf issuance should
improve to at least MVFR for several hours before additional
rain showers/thunderstorms and rain develop during the afternoon. Cigs should eventually
fall back to IFR tonight on the cold side of the cold front.
Initially southeast winds will veer and become southerly to
southwesterly today, then become northeasterly early tonight
behind the cold front.
Specifics for kuin: based on upstream trends, prolonged periods
of rain showers/thunderstorms and rain are expected at KUIN since it will be located north
of the surface low track. One cluster of thunderstorms was located
just upstream from KUIN at taf issuance, and it should reach the
terminal by 13z. Initial thoughts are that KUIN should be too far
north to be affected by much in the way of afternoon thunderstorm
development, although a few embedded thunderstorms may occur. If
any clearing occurs at KUIN this afternoon, then the resulting
instability will aid thunderstorm development. Initially
southeasterly winds will back and become easterly to northeasterly
today, then remain northeasterly through the end of the taf
Specifics for kstl, ksus, kcps: the southern end of a rain showers/thunderstorms and rain
cluster was approaching St. Louis Metro area terminals at taf
issuance. After the morning convection tapers off, there should be
a dry period lasting several hours before the next round of
thunderstorms develops during the afternoon. After some
improvement during the late morning or early afternoon, cigs are
expected to fall back to MVFR tonight on the cold side of the
cold front. Initially southeasterly winds will veer and become
southerly to southwesterly today, then turn northeasterly early
tonight behind the cold front.

Mining Publication: Closing the Door to Dust When Adding Drill Steels: Uni-directional Cab Filtration and Pressurization System Tested
Original creation date: October 2007
During a recent National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health field evaluation of a newly designed filtration and pressurization system for an enclosed cab of a surface drill, it was determined that the drill operator's respirable-dust exposure was significantly increased during time periods when the cab door was opened to manually guide another section of drill steel into place to achieve additional cutting depth. Although no dust cloud was visible when the door was opened to perform this task, the drill operator's exposure was documented (over a three-day test period) to be nine times higher than when the cab door was closed. Even at this higher respirable-dust concentration, the drill operator's exposure remained well below the permissible exposure limit governed by the federal dust standard; however, an alternative method is being investigated to guide the drill steel in place in order to eliminate this increased exposure.

Modern marketing professionals have access to an astounding amount of information on consumers' tastes, preferences and habits. The marketing departments at credit card companies, in particular, can track a staggering amount of information, all without a consumer's knowledge. For example, if an individual went for a period of time without using a credit card to buy groceries, and then began to use the card again for regular grocery purchases, those facts might suggest to the credit card company that the consumer may have been experiencing some financial distress (say, job loss), but is now in a more stable situation and could be in a better position to handle more credit in the future. And, if a credit card company does not already have or track this kind of data, it can — like other marketers — obtain this information from data brokers — e.g. companies that buy and sell personal consumer information.

The loss of a stealth drone that was spying on Iran isn't the disaster some make it out to be. And if you think Obama's request for it back was awkward, remember what JFK did after we lost a spy plane.
In an exclusive interview, an engineer working to unlock the secrets of the captured RQ-170 Sentinel says they exploited a known vulnerability and tricked the US drone into landing in Iran.
A top Iranian general said Iran won't return the high-tech US surveillance drone and warned of a 'bigger' response.

Generalized OOC Assisted PPM and Overlapping PPM, Considering Thermal Noise and APD Effect |
Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, Vol. 5, Issue 7, pp. 696-703 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1036 KB)
The effect of thermal noise and avalanche photodiode (APD) noise in a code division multiple access (CDMA) system using generalized optical orthogonal codes (GOOC) are investigated for the first time. The modulations used are pulse position modulation (PPM) and overlapping PPM (OPPM). Double optical hardlimiter receiver structure is selected because of its efficient performance. We show that, in a system with all mentioned noise sources, known parameter values, and a bit error rate of

dc.description.abstract | There has been a drastic decline in recent years in the commercial catches of moi (Polydactylus sexfilis) in Hawaii. Encouraged by the success of ranching of non-anadromous fishes in Japan, a study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of enhancing moi populations in Hawaii through the release of hatchery-reared juveniles. The life history and fishery of moi, and the hatchery production of juveniles are discussed from the viewpoint of possible artificial recruitment. Although the moi hatchery technology developed at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology is promising, larval survival rates presently achieved are considered too low to support a profitable juvenile-release program. Information is needed on the movements of moilii (juvenile moi) in order to determine the return rates of released juveniles. A general economic evaluation of a "model" moi ranching program. indicates that a commercially viable moi enhancement program is possible if the rearing costs were brought down to 5¢ or less per juvenile, and if one million or more moilii could be released annually. This study recommends that, as a prerequisite for the eventual establishment of a moi ranching program in Hawaii, the present hatchery technology for moi should be perfected to achieve larval survival rates of at least 20% and that a tag-recapture study on moilii in the inshore waters be initiated to obtain reliable estimates of their return rates. | en_US |

The concept of the flag was originated by Maria do Rosário Diz, winner of a
competition sponsored by the municipal government, modified by the panel of
judges, and adopted by law no. 1717/86. It is blue with a white stripe at
the hoist. Superimposed on the junction of the white and blue sections is
an anhuma in bird flight displayed above three indented bars, all counterchanged.
The flag is 14 units hoist by 20 fly; the anhuma is 7 units high and the
bars are each 0.8 units wide by 8 units long.

Why piss off the media?
On his Twitter, NYU prof Jay Rosen wants to know why the McCain campaign did its best to piss off the media. He's referring to an interview with Columbia Journalism Review, in which Weekly Standard writer and McCain campaign blogger Michael Goldfarb described his role with the campaign:
I was a cudgel. I pissed off the media. They were furious about it. That was the effect the campaign was looking for.
Now that Goldfarb has said so in so many words, it seems obvious. The liberal media was a constant campaign theme, and now that Sarah Palin has pretty much started running for president in 2012, the theme goes on.
Rosen demands (repeatedly) to know why anyone thought waging a culture war on the media was a good idea. Rosen doesn't understand because he's in the "oppressor" class. Conservatives think of themselves as the voiceless down-trodden whose words were once stamped out by elite oppressors who held all the power. This resentment lingers, and any pushing of the "liberal media bias" button dredges up all the resentment again. It's like any kind of class warfare. Even after the actual oppression has passed, the memory of the oppression lingers and clever people can manipulate that resentment to stir irrational reactions.
I say "irrational" because really, the oppression has passed. The "liberal media bias" argument should no longer pack the same punch becauses alternative news sources have decimated the mainstream media's power. People have more options than CBS and CNN now. They have blogs, web magazines, YouTube, sassy Internet publications like yours truly. The playing field is so much more level than it used to be.

Strong Old Mutual sales whet its appetite for Africa
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - If Old Mutual's performance in the first quarter is any indication of what to expect this year, the dual-listed insurer looks set to tighten its grip on the South African and other African markets.
The Anglo-South African group, which is on a trajectory to position itself as Africa's financial services champion, published a management statement yesterday showed that its gross sales rose by 24 percent year on year in cionstant currency to £6.2 billion (R108bn) in the first quarter.
But gross sales were up only 12 percent in reported currency due to the impact of the strong pound exchange rate. Old Mutual's funds under management grew 2 percent to £297.1bn, with positive market movements in South Africa and the US.
The growth was in spite of some sizable fund outflows amounting to $3.6bn (R37bn) in its US asset management business and £19m in the Nordic business.
"The quarterly flows can be lumpy and volatile. I wouldn't be concerned about it yet," said Jean Pierre Verster, an analyst at 36One Asset Management, who expects the net outflows might reverse in the next quarter, as the US asset management unit worked hard to get on the front foot in the run-up to the pending listing of a minority interest in the division during the second half of the year.
Verster said Old Mutual's performance was encouraging in both the affluent and mass foundation markets in South Africa and the inflows into its European business after a change of strategy necessitated by new regulations.
Old Mutual maintained its strong momentum in emerging markets in the first quarter, growing gross sales by 18 percent to R41.3bn.
The group's retail affluent business in South Africa grew gross sales by 32 percent, benefiting from the new single-premium product propositions introduced last year.
The group said since the launch of Old Mutual Wealth in South Africa last year, it had attracted R1.1bn in net inflows in the first quarter of this year.
The group's mass foundation cluster, the business that offers products like funeral plans, as well as savings and loan products to thje emerging black middle class and public sector workers, recorded a 14 percent rise in gross sales. Its life annual premium equivalent sales rose by 10 percent.
In the UK, Old Mutual recorded gross sales of £1.3bn and its total funds under management increased by 2 percent to £80.2bn.
In African markets outside of South Africa, Old Mutual grew gross sales by 27 percent. Its stated goal of becoming the continent's "financial services champion" picked up pace as the company announced its signing of new distribution agreements with Mainstreet Bank in Nigeria, which has 220 branches, and with Ecobank in Ghana, which has about 80 branches.
With a fat share still remaining of the R5bn earmarked for its African expansion, Old Mutual said it was actively looking at other opportunities in both east and west Africa, particularly in bancassurance.
Verster said given the fact that Old Mutual only refined its African strategy last year, it should be given more time to make investment decisions on the continent, where financial services sectors were more fragmented and less developed than South Africa.
Shares dropped 3.76 percent to R34.78 on the JSE yesterday.

1987, 1990-1993 Mercedes 300D Diesel Vacuum Pump - Pierburg W0133-1599116
Product DescriptionThis Pierburg Diesel Vacuum Pump will work with Mercedes 300Ds of model years 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993. In the absence of the Diesel Vacuum Pump, an emissions system will not utilize the system's catalytic converter, and could be considered not in compliance in most places. For the emissions system to adhere to national emissions laws, a functioning Diesel Vacuum Pump is necessary. Your Diesel Vacuum Pump is a crucial piece of your car or truck's emissions system as the air pump works to cut down on the toxins which exit a combustion chamber by driving oxygen into a car or truck's exhaust system. In order to guarantee a passing grade on the emissions analysis, the car's Diesel Vacuum Pump must be in proper working order. Mercedes 300Ds from the years 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 are compatible with this Diesel Vacuum Pump. Different vehicles probably will not be compatible, and this Diesel Vacuum Pump is not to be installed on those vehicles. |
Low cost, direct fit. Arrived on time, installed easily, worked immediately. Highly recommend!

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- I don't have the furniture yet but BUYER BEWARE these folks will scam you into a Wells Fargo Credit Account. They refused my Visa card and told me to get the sales price I would have to finance through Wells Fargo. Now I get the store charge in the mail. Nice! Wonder how far my FICO score has been knocked down by the extra credit!
Also really difficult to get in touch with Wells Fargo.... the dead end automated phone loop...
I will never, ever buy so much as a throw pillow at this scam joint again!!!!!!
LANGHORNE PA, PENNSYLVANIA -- My recliner is just over one year & I noticed when someone sat on it that the bottom of the back went down in proportion to the front. After turning it over I saw that there was one piece that was missing. On the bottom of the wood part of the chair are 6 holes where this one is missing from. This part just snaps into the round plastic piece which allows the chair to spin.
After speaking to the manager of the Oxford Valley Store in Langhorne, Pa she told me that since I had the chair for over a year that it was out of warranty and would need to send a technician out to the house for $45.00 to fix it. I can pop the piece into the empty hole myself. The missing piece can't cost more than $2.00. Yet they will not send it to me.
She tells me that they would not know what part it is unless the tech. came out.
You mean to tell me that they do not have the spec's for this item so they can order the part after the tech. comes to the house? How do you think he will know what to order then? Maybe he has a crystal ball.
I have brought furniture from Raymour & Flanigan before. They had to come out and fix my couch. That tech ruined the fabric & they had to deliver me another one. That one had to be fixed also. The lounge chair that is a part of the set is sqeaking & I believe that the wood frame is cracking. My husband weight is 160 & I am 140 (not heavy enough to crack the furniture.
"Your number one with us". "Our customers are not dependent upon us we are dependent upon them". What a bunch of crap.
I have a bedroom set from Mealeys. It was ten years old when I needed some plastic pieces for the underneath part of the draws. Them mailed tham out to me along with extra ones no questions asked.
What a racket they have going on. Great for return customers!
Here is what really bothers me. The piece is large just a bit smaller than a golf ball. It had to be delivered to us that way because there is no way that we could have walked by it without seeing. The store manager thinks that I should have known this at the time of delivery. Who turns their furniture over? We don't. We may move it to vacuum but there is no reason to turn it over unless it needs to be repaired.
Had a new couch delivered in the summer of 2009 and it came infested with fleas. It was delivered from the Queens, NY warehouse.
Their customer service would not pick up - I had to have people remove the couch and then rip all apart so no one else would take the couch.
They would not even give me a refund if I did not have the couch removed on my own.
My living conditions since August has been terrible. I can't seem to get rid of these fleas. It was a brand new apartment that I moved into that was totally clean.
They are a totally awful company, and everyone that I come into contact with I let them know what kind of furniture that they deliver.
NANUET, NEW YORK -- I was very happy with the manager at Raymour and Flanagan. She was
understanding and empathetic. She understood what I wanted and
helped me choose a new mattress. I really appreciate the professionalism that you get from Raymour and Flanagan. I will only shop there.
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- Purchased two office chairs two months ago. One arrived broken and I'm still waiting for a new one. They told me the part is in China and there is nothing they could do about it.
They took my money fast and now they are playing me.
Very bad customer service.
NEWINGTON, CONNECTICUT -- I was shopping for 3 bedroom sets for my children. I have looked at Pottery Barn, Macy's and R & F. I was very clear and told my sales man I was comparing quality and how much do I get for my $, that I was shopping around. He said not a problem and after spending some time with me in a empty store I had a list of furniture. I told him I would go home and talk over with my husband, the salesman said to hold the price he needed some information, which I gave him with trust.
7 days later I received a Wells Fargo Credit Card in my husbands name, who never came to the store, we never signed anything, and the following day they called to schedule a delivery for furniture I never purchased. The salesman said to me on the phone, you said you would return....I said and since I didn't wouldn't you assume I was not interested, so you take it upon yourself to order furniture for me? They are a joke.
I ended up getting a better deal with Pottery Barn and of course much better quality.
I went to a Raymour & Flanigan store to simply shop. (Get prices, see what I might be interested in for future purchase) I explained that I was considering moving to a Sr. Apt and would have to downsize my furniture. I asked for a list of the items of interest and was told I could have a computer printout. I initialed the print out and accepted it as a quote, once again I stressed to the salesperson that it would be in the future if at all. When I got home and read the list, I noticed it said thank you for your purchase and all sales final. There was $7500 on the order! I called and was told it was just how their computers worked. One week later I had a voice message asking me how my move went and received a statement in the mail the same day stating that my furniture was on layaway and I owed $25. What started out as a simple research on my part has turned into a nightmare. Calling once again I was told this is just how there computers work. I will never feel comfortable going into Raymour & Flanigan again for any reason whatsoever.
NEW YORK AREA, NEW YORK -- Bought a media console for a new wide screen TV the unit was delivered half wrapped in plastic with the doors off. delivery man put doors on poorly which I noticed after they left. Thought I could make a small adjustment but I had to re-drill new holes for the hinges because the doors were severely misaligned. Did not want to leave TV on floor for weeks so I repaired it myself. Poor quality for the money. Made in Mexico and certainly not for the discriminating buyer. Have a co-worker who is having a bad time with customer service. I know my piece was a floor model because I remember the same exact stain mark on the front veneer panel. Won't shop there again. Poor quality.
Would expect this from a discount furniture store which they are not!
11757, NEW YORK -- I ordered a sectional sofa set and a king size bedroom set and the delivery set for 2nd jan wed between 12 and 4. We had an appointment with doctor for 4'o clock. So I called them to check if they can deliver it at least by 3.30, The answer was they don't know where there driver is at that time and once the order is complete they don't have control on the delivery, for that we have to call there warehouse!!! The real problem is something else. They delivered the furnitures but they said they forgot to bring the brackets to fix the mirror to the dresser and they promised to bring and fix the mirror next day morning!!!
I'm writing this 8 days after the delivery but nobody turned up. I have a 14 month old baby and thi big mirror they kept against the wall, and today its almost fell on him. So I called them to find out what's happening. I called the store which I bought this things which is on route 110, farmingdale in ny, a lady picked up, I told her the whole story. She put me in hold after 2 min she came back ond asked my ph# to pull my record from the file, which she should have done first time again put me on hold after2 min she asked me what's the problem really!!!! She kept me on hold without even understanding my issue!!! Then again on hold this time its for 5 minutes, came back and told me that they'll parcel the bracket to me and I have to fix it myself! I said no they promised me everything will be delivered and istalled in proper place. Then she put me on hold again after five minutes another lady came on line and asked me how can she help me!!!! I asked her back "do I have to explain everything to you again"???
Then went on like that but they din't solve my problem I' am still waiting for them to call me back which they promised to do... My advise is to not to go there, look at the way they treats me after spending $3500.00 There not a week ago. All I got is pieces of furnitures in my home which even may harm my son. I think everything is too expensive there than outside too. I will never shop from there again nor I will allow my friends and family to do so too.

VIDEO: Jon Partridge climbs Chimaera at High Rocks
by Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC Apr/2011This news story has been read 13,623 times
The route, a top rope problem, is graded British 7a (approximately Font 7C+).
Due to the soft nature of the rock lead climbing is not permitted, meaning all routes must be top roped or soloed.
Climbing at High Rocks involves an entrance fee and the crag is an SSSI. Access details are in the UKC Logbooks.
Jon's ascent was captured on film by Nick Brown of Outcrop Films and is shown below.
Film details:
Honeycomb, 6b+
Crosstown Traffic, 7b
Chimaera, English 7a or Font 7c+
Summer is Champion by Laura Veirs
July by Natty
Jon Partridge is a member of the British Bouldering Team and is sponsored by Beyond Hope - the UK distributors of Evolv, prAna and Metolius.

A robber left a woman needing hospital treatment for the sake of just £20 this morning.
A woman was walking along an alley between Sutton Common Road and Hallmead Road when she was shoved from behind by an unseen assailant between 6am and 6.15am today.
The robber took two £10 notes from her purse then fled, leaving the victim lying in the alley.
A passerby found the woman with cuts and grazes to her face and called emergency services.
She was taken to hospital for treatment and the alley was cordoned off by police while a forensic examination took place.
If you saw anything in the area at the time or have any other information that could help police, you can call 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
