Ontario People: 1796-1803
Ontario People: 1796-1803 is a book of lists. The easiest way to describe its contents is to simply quote from its Introduction:
"After the American Revolution, several thousand families came to settle in the western part of Quebec, later called Upper Canada, then Canada West and today Ontario. These settlers were former members of American Loyalist regiments, discharged British and German servicemen, and some civilians and refugees. They were offered grants of 200 acres of land on condition that they take an oath of allegiance and remain loyal to the British regime. The military and Loyalist arrivals who had come earlier received larger grants, generally in relation to their services to the Crown, their rank or status, and family size…
All settlers received certificates showing the location of the lots on which they were to clear land and build houses. First, however, it was necessary to establish who had the right to obtain title deeds, and in 1796 a proclamation was issued that required Loyalists and others to surrender their certificates in exchange for title deeds and to make a statement under oath in the district court as to their right to hold them…
Subsequently, thousands of settlers appeared before the magistrates in district courts throughout Upper Canada. The magistrates provided additional information in the records, which have been preserved in the National Archives of Canada and are usually called the District Loyalist Rolls of 1796. These rolls have been carefully transcribed for the first time by Dr. E. Keith Fitzgerald, who has supplemented the 4,000 entries with further data from his own research. Details supplied by the settlers, the magistrates, and by Dr. Fitzgerald now provide a rich source of information on the early inhabitants of Ontario. Some entries show, for example, relationships, deaths, military service, maiden names of married women, and remarriage of widows…"
There are approximately 3,000 names listed in these pages.
Copies of Ontario People: 1796-1803 are available from Family Roots Publishing; Price: $24.50.

Dubliner Damien O'Donnell's Unique Directions with "East is East"
by Aaron Krach
(indieWIRE/4.17.2000) -- Damien O'Donnell is exhibit A in the case of the calling-card short leading to a full-length feature. His directorial debut "East is East" was a surprise hit in the UK; garnered six BAFTA nominations and won one (the Alexander Korda Award for outstanding British film); and is now being released in the States thanks to Miramax. O'Donnell was the director for hire on "East is East" completely due to the fact that the producer loved O'Donnell's short film, "35 Aside," about a young boy who is an outcast at his new school because he doesn't like soccer. The short won a BBC competition and aired three times on the British network, where "East is East" producer Leslee Udwin saw it.
"East is East" is equal parts comedy and drama, about a mixed-race family (Pakistani father, Om Puri and a white mother, Linda Bassett) trying to find a multi-cultural middle ground for their five children in a London suburb, circa 1972. The film began its life as a successful play written by Ayub Khan-Din, (star of Stephen Frears' "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid"), who also wrote the screenplay.
Irish and living in Dublin, O'Donnell wasn't the obvious choice to direct a film about South Asian immigrants. indieWIRE sat down with O'Donnell a week before the BAFTA Awards were given out to talk about the "East is East" phenomena.
indieWIRE: Did you ever wonder if you were the right person to direct this film?
Damien O'Donnell: Yes. At one stage I agreed to direct the film, but then started to worry. I worried about it being about an environment that was alien to me. I then became intimidated and had a confidence crisis. I wrote a letter declining, saying I didn't think I was right for the job. I put the fax in the machine and went to the pub. I felt a great weight lifted off of me and started to think about the film in a different way. I even started to regret sending that fax. But when I went back to the office the next day, the fax was still sitting in the machine 'cause it hadn't gone through. I decided to take that as a sign I should do the film.
"I worried about it being about an environment that was alien to me. I then became intimidated and had a confidence crisis."
iW: Judging by the six BAFTA nods, the British Academy loved your film. What was the public's reaction?
O'Donnell: It was no blockbuster, but it did very well. It opened on the same day as "The Sixth Sense." I remember so clearly because we were looking for dates and the distributor said, "We're going to open on November 5th because nothing is really opening that day, only some Bruce Willis action movie. Nobody is going to go see that." And well, "Sixth Sense" has gone on to become a complete phenomenon. But "East is East" stayed in the charts for like 16 weeks.
iW: Do you think the popularity represents an opening in British audience's minds to non-white films?
O'Donnell: Yeah. This would definitely be considered a crossover hit. Apart from "My Beautiful Laundrette," a lot of films with Asian subjects were flops. Even a film like, "My Son The Fanatic," which was a good film, flopped. We knew "East is East" would be a cross over because we actually did a test screening. The audience for which was about 15 percent Asian and the rest White. When we looked at the scorecards both groups liked it equally as much. They both 'got it.'
iW: Why do you think it crossed over, because it was a period piece? Because of the music being so catchy?
O'Donnell: I don't think it was the music, which I love. I think it was the humor. I think that is the real thing about it and that is also the trouble with this film. How do you market it? I hate the posters here [in the States] and I hated the posters in England. Here the poster is of one of the white girls blowing a bubble.
"I know that what they [Miramax] are trying to do is get the poster to appeal to a young, general audience. They want to dupe them into getting into the theater and hope they stay and like it."
iW: Which white girl?
O'Donnell: Exactly. It's one of the minor parts, a girlfriend of Tarik. So you wouldn't know what this movie is about from the posters. But I know that what they [Miramax] are trying to do is get the poster to appeal to a young, general audience that might go see teenage movies. They want to dupe them into getting into the theater and hope they stay and like it.
iW: What was the poster in Britain?
O'Donnell: It was equally as bad. It was a picture of the little white dog copulating with the letter 'E' in "East is East." A month later they came out with a picture of the kids standing in a Full Monty-like tableau. It's not like I know so much about movie posters. But I do know that those posters don't represent the film.
iW: When "East is East" received the BAFTA nominations, did that translate into increased box office like Oscar nominations do?
O'Donnell: It's not important in that way. The film will probably close on its last screen on the day of the BAFTA awards. It opened on 270 screens and it's down to about 30 now. It's still making money but it's coming to an end. The BAFTAs don't have the same kudos as the Oscars. It's nice to be acknowledged by the industry. It is satisfying because we had box office success and critical success.
iW: Since your first film was such a huge success, are you worried about what people are going to expect from your next film?
O'Donnell: Yeah. "East is East" was a gem of a script and I could wait around a couple of years until that comes along again, but I'd rather get back in the saddle. I've got a script called "30 Pretty Things." Coincidentally, it's about immigrants as well, but more serious. It's about a Nigerian night porter in a hotel in London who discovers a murder and sets about solving it. It'll be the first film, I hope, that won't have any white English people in it. All the white people will be white South Africans or Russians and all the English people will be black or Asian. That will make it a bit of a novelty.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
bad reviews didn't stop me
my cartels failed, bought these on clearance. for the dough I paid, they were a great deal $139. Riden on them plenty and they feel great.
yo this bindin is nasty the fit to my feet real nice and respond quick as s%^& i would suggest these to anyone that wanted a freestyle binding and i might add the look sexy too
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
I "copped" (as the kids say) these at the beginning of the season this year for a "fresh" white-on-white look, paired with a Burton Jussi. The look is great, the padding is better than any others I've had, but that's about where it ends.
Beautiful "pow" day at the "Bird" yesterday and the toe strap broke, permanently locked at the tightest setting. So now I'm stuck trying to peel the toe strap off at every lift and peeling it on at the top of Mineral Basin with the wind beating at my old face. And that was probably the 7th/8th time I've used them.
I had an old pair of Drake Mikey LeBlanc's on my previous board and never had one problem in 9 years. For 200+ bucks I'd expect a little better craftsmanship. I'm not trying to break a hip or anything out there
wrong gender
i just got these bindings and have riden on them a couple of times. im a girl and thus have girls boots so i find these bindings abit average, everytime i stack it the capstrap comes off my boot so i have to have them on really tight, which isnt that comfy. as a girl i dont recommend these if you ride in womens boot as they are not made for it, get womens bindings.
more cushion than JLo
i just got these and love them. its my second pair of triads and i dont think i'll ever buy anything other than triads. they are so comfortable its crazy. theres so much cushion that jump landings are smooth no matter what. i've landed sideways right on the knuckle and still rode away fine.the response is awesome too, never had any complaints about these bindings. i got the Green Machine and its actually more of a neon green and they look sick.
If I have size 10 feet, should i get M or...
If I have size 10 feet, should i get M or L
Its up to you, the medium will go up to a 11 so you are good there and the binding will be slightly smaller. If you are still growing or your bigger footed buddies will want to ride your board get the Large.
Chris Jones is right! I'd stay with a medium as you don't really want any play in your binding/boot setup. The only reason you may want a large would be if your boots are old-school and boxey... then it may be a bit of a tighter squeeze.
I hate it when bindings are on the small side. It sucks when you have more toe off the board than heel. Also, you want the footbed to reach all the way out to your toe so you have good responsiveness. I wear 10.5 boots and always ride large binders. I have some M/L Rides and I wish they were bigger.
I am size 10 boot and demo'd L, bought M, am now returning M for L. Boots are 32, Level 2, only a couple years old, so probably wouldn't be considered big and boxy. Anyway, I could not get the M to fit right. I was near the tightest settings on the L, which is why I wanted to try an M next. But the L fit just how it should. I think triad performs better if it is on the larger rather than smaller size, which is kind of counter-intuitive, but I think it has to do with geometry and kinesiology.
JD and Wakozachos answers seem to be a little closer to the truth regarding rocking boots that are borderline of the binding manufacturers sizing suggestion, especially when it comes to the Triad. I bolted these badasses (last years model) to my Burton Custom wide 59 last year and this years model to this years Custom Wide 62. Having ridden wide sticks since the inception of the Floater, I have worn boots from size 12 to 10.5, depending on the brand. Currently, I am sporting 10.5 Salomon Synapse (last year I wore the Salomon F22, also a 10.5). Both pairs of Triads were large and as the boots packed in, I was able to adjust the binders to maintain complete tightness thanks to Burtons straps having tremendous adjustability. I inserted the new boots into the medium Triad in a local shop and even with the gas pedal fully extended, the toe of the boot hung over the edge of the almost an inch and a half. Go with the large, you will not regret it. Oh yes, the heel of my 10.5s did NOT shift or wiggle in the heel cup of the large.
I have a pair of size 10 Hails and they fit the medium Triad perfectly. Go for the medium if possible as it'll allow you to ride a wider range of board widths.

Fox's Oliver North Hypes Conspiracy Theory That State Department Holding Secret Bids For Gitmo Detainees
Blog ››› ››› ANDREW LAWRENCE
Fox News' Oliver North suggested that the Obama administration's State Department is holding "secret auction[s] to the high bidder" for countries willing to take Guantanamo Bay detainees.
On the January 21 edition of On The Record with Greta Van Susteren, Oliver North speculated that the Obama administration and Secretary of State John Kerry engaged in a "quid pro quo" scheme with the country of Oman, who he claimed agreed to take Guantanamo Bay detainees in exchange for weapons:
OLIVER NORTH: Unfortunately, this president in his campaign promise way back in 2008, he made the campaign promise that he was going to close Gitmo within a year of taking office. Well, that didn't happen for very good reasons. Even his own investigation sent down there to go to Camp Delta there were no people there that were harmless goat herders, these were terrorists. These were bad people who tried to kill Americans and in some cases succeeded. Think about this. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11/01 attack on the United States, and with four airliners fly into buildings and killed nearly 3,000 people. He is one of the last to go. Where will he go? Think about what just happened with Oman. Ten detainees here are released to Oman and a week later Oman gets --
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (HOST): A weapons deal.
NORTH: Yes, a $51 million weapons deal that they've been asking for, for years.
VAN SUSTEREN: It's incredible. Said it's a coincidence. Obama administration says it's a coincidence. We're not that stupid.
NORTH: Think about this. Is the Kerry State Department holding a secret auction to the high bidder, secret sealed bids on who will take Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? Think about it. I mean, if you look at what's happening with this administration, there is no concern for the safety of American troops or American citizens. This administration ought to be held accountable.
NORTH: I'll give you a prediction. Within six months of the new administration in Washington there will be an investigation that finds quid pro quo and things were provided to these governments for taking these incredibly bad people.
Van Susteren invited North to push his baseless conspiracy theory without disclosing North's own relationship with illegally selling weapons in the Iran-Contra affair in 1985. North, then a Lieutenant Colonel, was fired after it was discovered that he" had been diverting funds from the arms sales [with Iran] to the Contras," anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua.
In 1985, while Iran and Iraq were at war, Iran made a secret request to buy weapons from the United States. McFarlane sought Reagan's approval, in spite of the embargo against selling arms to Iran.
With the backing of the president, the plan progressed. By the time the sales were discovered, more than 1,500 missiles had been shipped to Iran. Three hostages had been released, only to be replaced with three more, in what Secretary of State George Shultz called "a hostage bazaar."
While probing the question of the arms-for-hostages deal, Attorney General Edwin Meese discovered that only $12 million of the $30 million the Iranians reportedly paid had reached government coffers. Then-unknown Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council explained the discrepancy: he had been diverting funds from the arms sales to the Contras, with the full knowledge of National Security Adviser Admiral John Poindexter and with the unspoken blessing, he assumed, of President Reagan.
Poindexter resigned, and North was fired.

They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by his side
And so I will wait
Until that moment you decide
That I'm your man and you're my girl
That I'm the sea and you're the pearl
It takes two, baby, it takes two
A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone, tell me
I'm your king and you're my queen
That no one else can come between
It takes two, baby, it takes two
Don't you know, Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick
They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away
Just like Frankie Avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe
To say the things I long to hear
So come closer baby
Oh, and whisper in my ear
Tell me, you're my girl and I'm your boy
That you're my pride and I'm your joy
I'm the sand and you're the tide
I'll be the groom if you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby, it takes two
It takes two, baby, it takes two

Recent editorials from Tennessee newspapers:
July 6
Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel on failure to expand TennCare:
Thousands of Tennesseans would have better access to health care and the state's economy would receive a boost if lawmakers would accept the federal government's offer to underwrite an expansion of Medicaid.
A report released last week by the White House quantified the benefits of expansion Tennessee is foregoing by not expanding its Medicaid program, which is administered as TennCare.
Compiled by the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the report offers more evidence that Gov. Bill Haslam and the Legislature's Republican supermajority are doing their constituents no favors by not expanding Medicaid.
The expansion, offered through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, would cover people and families who currently do not qualify for TennCare and earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — $32,914 for a family of four. The federal government is committed to paying 100 percent of the expansion costs through 2016, with the level of support gradually dropping until it levels off at 90 percent in 2020.
So far, 26 states and the District of Columbia have expanded their Medicaid programs, providing health care coverage to 5.2 million low-income Americans. Tennessee and the 23 other states that have not expanded Medicaid will have deprived 5.7 million people access to coverage. In Tennessee, at least 234,000 people — a number roughly equal to the combined populations of Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Farragut — have been blocked from receiving coverage.
In states that have expanded Medicaid, the report notes, the number of people with Medicaid coverage has jumped 15.3 percent since enrollment began late last year. Those covered through Medicaid are much more likely to see a primary care physician and to obtain preventive care, such as mammograms and cholesterol screenings. Health outcomes also would improve. In Massachusetts, adult mortality rates fell 2.9 percent after that state's health care reform, which was the model for the Affordable Care Act.
There are economic benefits as well. Expansion would reduce the number of Tennesseans facing catastrophic out-of-pocket medical expenses by 10,500, the report states. And the benefits are not restricted to individuals receiving coverage. Had Tennessee expanded Medicaid effective Jan. 1, the state would have seen $5.1 billion in new federal spending by 2016, as well as 21,700 new jobs. The state's gross domestic product would have increased by $3.8 billion.
The report makes it clear that Tennesseans are paying a price — both in terms of economic opportunity and the health of low-income workers. Hospitals, too, are feeling the pain. The Affordable Care Act slashed funding for hospitals providing indigent care because Medicaid expansion would reduce the number of uninsured patients visiting emergency rooms. The failure to expand Medicaid was cited by the owners of Haywood Park Community Hospital in Brownsville, Tenn., when they announced the closure of the facility earlier this year. According to the Tennessee Justice Center, at least 53 other Tennessee hospitals, employing more than 21,000 people are at risk of closing.
Haslam has proposed an alternate plan that would allow those eligible for expanded Medicaid to purchase health insurance policies on the federally run exchange, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has not approved it. Other states, including Arkansas, Iowa and Michigan, have similar alternative programs.
The Legislature would have to sign off on any agreement. Given the Republican supermajority's antipathy toward President Barack Obama's health care reform law, approval would be unlikely. Still, lawmakers need to know how their inaction is harming their constituents, not the president. Expanding the state's Medicaid program, either through TennCare or an alternative program, remains in the best interest of Tennesseans.
July 7
The Post-Intelligencer, Paris, Tennessee, on drug-using moms:
Facing what has been called an epidemic of drug-dependent newborns, the state of Tennessee is cracking down on drug-using mothers.
State officials are alerting physicians to be aware of a new state law that allows women to be charged as criminals if they use drugs illegally during pregnancy.
Last year, the state counted 921 drug-dependent newborns, The Tennessean in Nashville reported. So far this year, the count is 463.
Physicians and state officials in Tennessee have won national recognition for their efforts. State officials have passed laws that encourage drug treatment for mothers at the same time that they threaten criminal punishment.
Doctors are not required to tell law enforcement that they suspect patients are abusing drugs, but they are required to notify the Department of Children's Services.
Mothers reported to DCS are not automatically prosecuted, but the law requires that cases be investigated.
The decision whether to prosecute will be made by local teams of DCS investigators, physicians and law enforcement officials.
It's tragic for a child to be born dependent on drugs. The state is right to get tough, but the emphasis needs to be on treatment.
Tennessee appears to be on the right track.
July 7
The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee, on jobs growth in June:
Unemployment in the United States fell in June to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent in May, the lowest rate since the fall of 2008. That's when financial giant Lehman Brothers collapsed, taking with it in house-of-cards fashion other Wall Street firms and a good chunk of the auto industry, along with a lot of other luckless companies.
That prompted an unprecedented government bailout that pumped billions of dollars into banks and businesses and continues even to this day, in much-diminished form, through the Federal Reserve's bond buying program. Now, thanks to the robust economic recovery, that program may be nearing its end.
The economy added 288,000 jobs last month and 2.5 million jobs in the last 12, the fastest annual growth since 2006. According to The Associated Press, the 200,000-plus monthly job gains over the past five months have been the best stretch since the 1990s tech boom — although we must hope this growth comes to a better ending than the subsequent tech bust.
Job gains were spread across the economy — factories, retailers, financial firms, restaurants and bars all added substantially to their payrolls. And employment got a boost from another surprising quarter — government hiring, which began to tail off in 2007 and began shedding employees every year from 2009 to 2013. Public-sector hiring has increased by 54,000 jobs so far this year, good news for hollowed-out local and state governments.
The first-quarter 2.9 percent decline in gross domestic product is increasingly looking like a weather-related anomaly. Economists polled by the British newspaper The Guardian seemed to agree that the world's largest economy is in good shape with strong underlying momentum.
There are two other anomalies that are perhaps cause for worry. Wage growth has remained at an anemic 2 percent a year during the recovery, well below the historical average of 3.5 percent. The U.S. economy depends heavily on consumer spending and 2 percent a year is not going to do much to help that. Some think wages will pick up along with the economy, a view that seems to have not yet caught on with employers.
The other anomaly is that workforce participation — the number of Americans working or actively looking for work — is stuck at a low of just over 62 percent. The problem is no longer purely economic; the jobs are there, and employers are hiring. It might be structural: workers stuck in the wrong place or with the wrong skills. Or it could be societal: Older workers who lost their jobs and are content to scrape along until retirement age and Social Security or desperate workers who are willing to work off the books.
A booming economy solves all kinds of problems and ultimately these may be two of them.

Lawsuit Aims to Block 5 Napkin Owner's New Union Square Restaurant Project
A parks advocacy group opposes the new spot from the owner of 5 Napkin Burger.
Back in March, it was revealed that 5 Napkin Burger owner Simon Oren's Chef Driven Market LLC secured a fifteen-year deal to build a new restaurant in the Children's Pavilion at Union Square Park. But a new lawsuit filed against the City of New York and the Parks Department says the arrangement is a commercial use of public parkland that was granted without "necessary approval" from the State Legislature. "The city wants it as a cash cow," said Geoffrey Croft, a founder of NYC Park Advocates, who claims Oren's proposed project would result in a potential loss of space for a children's playground near the site. Oren wouldn't comment on the suit, but Amy McCamphill, a lawyer representing the city, said in a statement, "We have made a motion to dismiss the law suit, both because the plaintiffs' claims fail as a matter of law and because many of their allegations are refuted by the terms of the license agreement itself."

I reviewed your docket on the ECF system, and it appears that the mortgage holder filed a Motion for Relief from Stay some time ago and a trial was finally held on September 3rd. On September 9th an Order Granting Relief from Stay as to property at 5400 Quinn Lane was issued. Because the order failed to mention that the Rule 4001 10 day stay of the order was waived, the creditor must wait until 9/19/08 before filing (or continuing) any foreclosure action. What should be of more immediate concern to you is that the Court has scheduled a show cause hearing for 9/16 (Tuesday) for you to show cause why the Court should not dismiss your case, and possibly deny you a discharge in a future case, for failing to show up at any of the scheduled 341a meetings of creditors. If you wish to pursue bankruptcy relief, which I can only imagine is the case if you filed bankruptcy, you need to attend the 341a meeting when scheduled. It appears to me that your attorney(s) may not be capably representing you. If you wish to avoid having your home foreclosed, I would advise you to contact an attorney in Virginia who is knowledgeable about foreclosure defense. I normally advise people to contact the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys http://www.nacba.org/, but in this case, not all bankruptcy attorneys are well versed in the emerging area of foreclosure defense due to the rampant fraud in the mortgage industry the past 7 or eight years. because of this, I am going to refer you to a network of attorneys who should have a referral in Virginia for you, http://www.ncblc.com/ the website of the National Consumer Bankruptcy Litigation Center. There are probably things you can do to save your house, but you won't until you talk to a lawyer in your area. Most such attorneys will offer a brief free initial consultation to determine if they can help you or not. Good luck and I hope this helps.

He's back! Yes, he's back, back where he may or may not belong, the one and only Editor, wielder of sarcasm and britishness and logic and, uh, arguing! So... Hi! Like I haven't said, I'm Ed, I live somewhere and I rule the universe! Occasionally. Or not. So, uh, I'll be back sometime, okay? Oh, and Bob says hi. With cookies!
That's the kind of answer I like! Some people are all "Aaah! Mad Englishman! Run away!" Which is very Monty Python, come to think of it... Anyway, site map? Would you like one? They cost about six seconds of your time (plus VAT), and they come with unofficial opinions
Since when were you the wielder of britishness Ed?

Excellent! Hang on, where'd I put it? Uh... *looks around for it* Oh, um... I'll make a new one. Again. I should look after these...
Main Forums: Called this for some unknown reason. They aren't particularly important these days. Except the Welcome forum.

Pokemon Discussion: Fairly self-explanatory.
General Discussion
- Misc.: Or whatever it's called. Where all the important people supposedly live. It's really weird in there usually.

--- So today I was cycling in town and needed to get into the traffic lane on my left so I glanced over my shoulder and saw a van approaching with no other vehicles behind it. So I let the van pass and as soon as I saw its rear bumper I quick switched left and almost ran into a small trailer it was towing.
The bulk of the approaching van had blocked my view of its trailer behind. Close call. Learn from my mistake folks.

Get into reading
BY Gabrielle Wenman body+soul
Summer holidays, cold winters or time out from a busy week, anytime is a great time for reading, and starting a book club is a good way to get social.
Australians are used to living outdoors, so when it comes to winter, most of us are at a loss as to what to do with our time.
Snuggling up on the couch with a good book as the rain pours down outside is a common pastime during the chilly months. But if you want to get out of the house, meet new people and discuss your favourite books, why not start a book club?
When Kelly Foster, 29, an executive assistant from Sydney's north shore, couldn't find a book club that allowed her to be sociable as well as share in discussions about the books she was reading, she decided to start one herself.
Foster says: "I have always been an avid reader and, after attending an employee book club at a company I worked for, I searched for one in my local area on the web. Aside from the local library book club (I was after something slightly less formal), the only other search results were from others seeking a book club in the north shore area. I recognised a need and decided that someone should start a book club, and why shouldn't that someone be me?"
Getting started
Foster decided to hold the meetings once a month, on a Tuesday night, as she says, "People are less likely to have commitments on a Tuesday night."
She decided that the club would read only contemporary fiction, and chose a venue where the group could have a glass of wine and a nibble for those who might be peckish after a long day at work.
Foster says: "Once I had decided on the format, I emailed an invitation to all those who had posted on the web looking for a book club and it went from there."
Book clubs are a great way to meet new people and expose you to new ways of thinking.
"It's gratifying to be able to discuss a book and hear the diversity of people's perceptions and the different interpretations we each have. Being exposed to different ideas and opinions stretches you mentally - we've certainly had some lively debates!" says Foster.
Teri Sawers, a communications consultant, is a member and organiser of the Sydney Online book club, which has been operating since 2006. She says: "Our club works well because it's online within a wider site, so can be easily found. The site platform provides us with private and group messaging, message boards, RSVP software and other social community options to connect, both online and off.
"To me, part of the pleasure of reading is the associated pleasure of discussing a good book with other readers to share your interpretations and reactions. Reading is a solitary pursuit, but many readers want to balance that solitude with a social connection with other readers."
Joining a book club is also a way to build friendships and Foster says that is just what has happened since she started her book club over a year ago.
"Some of our members have recently moved into the area from overseas or interstate, and found the book club a good forum in which to meet people who live locally. The ages in our group vary from mid-20s to mid-50s and members come from all walks of life," she says.
Different views
Foster says the exposure to different personalities and ideas is stimulating. She says many of the members share other interests aside from reading. "Our meetings are never dull! Although I normally have discussion questions on hand, meetings tend to fall into free-flow conversation, and we quite often end up segueing into a philosophy session from a particular character or occurrence in the book."
Sawers says it is important to include core members of the club in "selecting books, venues and preferred meeting times and days [as it] lets them shape the club to suit their reading interests". Foster says the most important aspect is that "we all have fun".
10 tips for starting a book club
- Recruiting members: Simply start by calling friends, sending out a group email or starting a group on Facebook. Begin by inviting all your friends who might be interested in books and suggest you read one together. Suggest that everyone bring a friend to your next meeting and soon you'll have a regular group going.
- The ideal group size is about eight to 12 people, or no more than 20, as it allows for a more intimate conversation and ensures that everyone's opinions will be heard.
- Timeframe: Holding a meeting every month is ideal as it gives everyone a chance to read the book in detail. Faster readers may want to read the book twice, while it offers freedom to those who are busy or just slower readers.
- Time of day or week: Depending on each person's schedule, you will need to decide what hour and day of the week is best for everyone and allocate this day each month.
- Structure: It's a good idea to break up the meeting time so everyone stays focused during the discussion of the book. Allocate time before and after the meeting for a social chat. Begin the meeting with coffee and snacks or a drink in a pub (depending on the location).
- Location: A popular option is meeting at people's houses, taking turns in hosting. If you want to take the stress out of the responsibility of hosting, try a pub or cafe as a venue.
- Choosing books: Choosing a book is never easy. Decide on who will host the meeting each month and suggest that the host chooses the book. That way, everyone gets a turn. Alternatively, your local library or bookstores are great sources for recommendations.
- Leader: Whoever is hosting the meeting should also lead the discussion. The leader needs to help the meeting move along, guide discussion points so that everyone stays on topic and ensure that everyone has a turn to speak and keeps within the timeframe.
- Discussion: The host should prepare a series of points for discussion in advance and allow time for open discussion once the prepared questions have been answered.
- Duration of each meeting: Two hours is usually a good rule of thumb depending on group consensus.

I don't want to think too much about this, but based on what's been going on over the past month, I may have to consider selling my number for the Assault on Mt. Mitchell ride on June 11th. My training was going well until I started getting treated for a (LARGE) wart on my little toe. Not to be too graphic, but I've essentially had to put acid on my toe every day for a month, with the net result that I've missed several of my long ride opportunities. On top of that, I've had the flu all week, and haven't ridden at all for several days.
With only 6 weeks to go, I don't know if I'm going to be ready - if I have to end up selling my number, has anyone done it before?

Back from Phoenix Am! Dustin Gets Second!
Posted By etnies in Skate, Skip To The Comments (33)
Mar 26 2007 / Monday
Dustin, his trophy & Clifford.
Wow, what a weekend at Phoenix Am!!!!! To sum it up quickly, Conhuir Lynn, Dominic Dietrich, Chris Gregson, etnies TM Clifford, Flip TM, Harry and myself all hopped in a van, drove to Phoenix, met up with Creager and Leeper and fun times were had.
I have so many photos and so much footage to sort through that my head is spinning. But stay tuned and expect little bits and pieces daily as the week progresses. There will be galleries and video footage as well.
Dom threw some posters out of the RV for the ravenous fans.
Most importantly, etnies flow dude, Dustin Blauvelt took second place! Congrats, Dustin! You can see his bangin' run right here thanks to The Skateboard Mag. Boy, those back 360s and Barley grinds sure look sweet.
Conhuir isn't used to the Arizona sun.
Shout outs to Dominik Dietrich and other flow dude, Chris Gregson for both making it to the semi-finals!
The youngest kid in the van always gets tortured the most. Clifford manhandles Gregson.
A baby with etnies shoes is a smart baby.

Villa v Man Utd: Guzan - Still same buzz about Red Devils
Brad Guzan has dismissed suggestions that this afternoon's opponents Manchester United have lost their aura.
The defending Barclays Premier League champions arrive at Villa Park on the back of consecutive top-flight defeats to Everton and Newcastle.
United have undergone a tough transition since David Moyes took over legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer.
But Guzan insists there is still the same buzz about facing the Red Devils despite their indifferent form.
"I think they're always going to have that aura, that buzz, regardless of the situation they're in, because of the quality of players they have," said the goalkeeper.
"For us every game is important and in this league as we know there's no easy games - whether you're playing so called top four, middle of the table team or a team at the bottom, you always have to be up for it.
"That's what the league is all about. There are no easy games and for 90 minutes anyone can beat anyone.
"You have to make sure you show up, and if you don't you're going to be punished."
Guzan admits Villa's inexperience was evident last term when they surrendered a two-goal lead against United.
The USA international has seen the claret and blues mature as a group since that encounter.
"That was our inexperience a little bit," he added.
"Last year we had a lot of guys first year in the league.
"Before you know it you find yourself 2-0 up against Manchester United and it can be a bit of a shock.
"Last year that is probably what it was and the next thing you find yourself losing 3-2.
"I think we've matured. I think we've grown from last year and that's going to be important going into a difficult game like we have on Sunday."

Jetta is waiting for a forever home.
Jesse on Summer Vacation Jesse is on summer vacation with Nicole Birkholzer, who has ample pasture for Jesse's needs. He's thoroughly enjoying his vacation home - Nicole says that Jesse, true to form, demands his 1 PM lunch like clockwork, despite enjoying tons of clover forage - Jesse never misses a meal!
Six-Horse-Hitch Justin and Bill Darnley have been working with Duchess, Chyna, Kelly, Daisy, Mark and Tom Too as our 6 horse hitch of Blue Star Belgians. The 6-Horse-Hitch made their debut on May 14th in the Springfield 375th Anniversary Parade. More photos...
Duke Duke has been struggling some with his shivers and stringhalt. He has received veterinary care and acupuncture and massage therapy. After a bad bout, probably exacerbated by our 2-month change-over period from one grain supplier to another, Duke is coming around and hopefully will be able to get some concerted exercise soon, to help manage his symptoms. Thank you to all those who were concerned about him!
Tandem work Mark and Kelly have been working in tandem with Justin. A "tandem" hitch is one where one horse is hitched in front of the other. Tandem hitches were popular in the 19th century especially with British fox-hunters who would drive their hunting horse in front of the harness horse who would pull the cart with hounds, groom and tack. Mark enjoys being the showy horse out in front, but don't expect to see him coursing over fields and jumping over hedges anytime soon!
Northampton Pride Parade Carter and Charlie D. got their rainbow on for the Northampton Pride Parade on May 7. Angie drove with her partner Lee, and Jo Bunny and her partner Lise headed up the boys in the parade. A wonderful event full of love for everyone! More photos...
Events everywhere! Blue Star Equiculture has been busy with lots of events! From several jobs at UMass, to the Springfield 375th Parade, to the Westfield Pub Crawl and Restaurant Tour (April 30th), to Royal Wedding Horses on MassAppeal, to a Trust for Public Land event in Northampton, and more - the Blue Star working horses have gotten around western Massachusetts, reminding everyone of the roles horses can play in our lives.
Goodbye, Clapton!Clapton (~1976 - 2011) passed away unexpectedly on May 8th after dinner. Clapton, a one-time thoroughbred racehorse, spent many years as a favorite school horse, before ending his long lesson career at Muddy Brook Farm last fall and coming to Blue Star Equiculture in November for his much deserved retirement.
Hello and Goodbye, Jack and Goliath! Jack the quarterhorse and Goliath the Shire arrived from Easthampton, yet more casualties of the economy. Jack has been adopted by a family looking for another riding horse to go with their two mares (one of whom is quite elderly and retired). Jack has settled right in with his new herd. Goliath, a 14-year-old riding Shire, has gone to UMass on a 30-day trial with the UMass Mounted Police Department. With the help of trainer Peter Whitmore of Orange, MA, Goliath will be working with his officer partner-to-be to develop the relationship they need to act as a law enforcement team.
Hello and Goodbye, Rock! Rock is a big Belgian gelding who came from the same place as Duke. Rock wasn't cut out to be a competitive pulling horse, and he was sold to an Amish farmer who did not treat Rock well at all. Completely stressed out and losing weight, Rock was bought back by his family, but because of his inability to pull competitively, he needed a new home. Rock is currently being fostered with Gary, who has the experience, skill and time to give Rock the one-on-one attention he needs to decompress and learn to trust again. Hopefully, Rock and Gary will bond and it will turn into a forever home!
Hello, Conor! Conor is a 9-year-old Gypsy Drum horse imported from Ireland. He has some slight ringbone that has limited his riding (hence his New York state owner decided she could not keep a horse that she couldn't ride). We are working with Dr. Purdy to ascertain the extent of his limitations and to explore whether corrective shoeing would help ease his discomfort. Conor has wonderful ground manners, and we believe that he might be an excellent driving prospect as an alternative to riding with his ringbone.
Hello, Sebastian! Sebastian is a 12-year-old Trakhener gelding who arrived on the farm on . Sebastian has been trained in dressage, but has some chronic lameness in his hind end that prevents him from competing. So his former owner surrendered him to Blue Star. Blue Star Equiculture is working with Sebastian to see if his slight issues can be improved upon. He is extraordinarily well-broke and the perfect gentleman.
Adoptions pending for Pete and Dakota! Pete and Dakota have adoption applications filed on them. Dakota, sweet Dakota, will be moving in July once the adoption is finalized; his new home would be with a reenactor who loves challenging horses. Dakota really wants to be a one-person horse. Pete has a potential home with a woman who is looking for a great trail horse as a guide in a state park - one of Pete's favorite things in the whole world is trail riding! We'll keep you all updated on them both!
Blue is on the way! Blue is a 14-year-old blue roan Brabant Belgian gelding who has been a carriage horse in NYC for about 2 months. His driver, Emre, thinks that Blue would be better suited for work on a farm and so Blue will be on his way to Blue Star on June 4! We got to meet Blue in April when we visited Chateau Stables - he's a real love!
Finding forever homes for horses is one of the most fulfilling things that we do at Blue Star. It's always bittersweet, as we know we're going to miss every horse that has ever spent any time at Blue Star. But the happiness these horses find with their adoptive families is ultimately what it's all about. Horses finding homes also means that Blue Star has more room to take in other horses in need. Who will we be saying "hello" to next month?
Are you interested in providing a forever home to a horse (or two)? Blue Star Equiculture has several horses looking for adoptive homes, especially our younger residents, such as Dawson, Sebastian and Jetta. Contact us to find out more, and we'll help match you with a horse to suit your situation.
Pepper and Sampson, both Equiculture alumni living with Sadie (Kelly and Daisy's sister) at their home with the Ouellette family in Ludlow, are doing Blue Star proud! They are pulling a wagon in a Memorial Day parade this weekend!
Ginger and Lacey are thoroughly enjoying their new home.
George (formerly Dexter/Duke), a chestnut draft, has settled in nicely in his home with Percheron friend, Prince.
George, adopted by Lisa, is now on stall rest following surgery to remove what was believed to be a bone chip on his scapula, the source of his recurring abscesses. "Noodles for George" a fundraiser put on by adopter Lisa Rousseau, was a great success - ticket sales to friends of George, raffles, and wagon rides provided by Blue Star Equiculture raised enough money for George's surgery and extensive aftercare. Good luck, George! Get well soon!
Blue Star Equiculture traveled as a group to New York City on Sunday, May 1st, to hold an all day "Beautiful Horse" rally. We were there to counteract the protesters from "Win Animal Rights" (WAR) who come out every Sunday afternoon to hurl insults, profanity and slander (warning: strong language from the WAR protesters) at carriage drivers and passersby. Blue Star Equiculture, in response to WARs radical liberationist chants of "1-2-3-4 Open up the stall doors! 5-6-7-8 Smash the locks and liberate! 9-10-11-12 Carriage drivers, go to hell!" started our own chant of "Support working horses! Take a carriage ride!"
We met old friends and new on the hack line and were glad to do a little bit to turn the weekly abuse from WAR into a much more positive and happy experience.
We especially enjoyed meeting Anna, who stops by the carriage stand nearly every day to feed the horses carrots. She has testified in favor of the carriage horses in City Council. She BEGGED us to come back and stand up for the horses that she - and so many others - love so much. See more photos here and here.

Equine Inspired Life Coaching with Nicole Birkholzer
Blue Star Equiculture's horses that will be living at UMass this summer and fall have a "job"! They're helping Nicole Birkholzer teach life skills through equine-inspired coaching. A portion of the fees for these workshops goes to support the Herd.
1 Day Workshop - Turn your dreams into reality
Saturday June 25th, 2011 9:30am-4:30pm at UMass Hadley Farm, Hadley, MA
$475 per person − Open to 4 participants
This Equine Inspired Workshop is an invitation to connect with horses. The connection encourages you to see and be yourself. Horses are beautiful teachers of awareness. As a prey animal in the wild their senses are the key to their survival. Humans often forget to use all of their senses in order to live a fulfilled life. The connection with the horse will allow us to tap into those forgotten feelings and senses, which can enrich and deepen our experience in this world and turn your dreams into reality.
The workshop will include group activities focused on awareness, as well as time for you to create a visual depiction of the dreams you are ready to manifest.
This is a very intimate workshop open to only 4 participants. Each participant will partner with a horse from The Blue Star Equiculture Herd. Click here for more information and to register.
2 Day Workshop - Do you run your life or is your life running you?
July 9 and 10, 2011 9:30am-4:30pm at UMass Hadley Farm, Hadley MA $ 795 per person · Open to 6 participants
The workshop will include group activities focused on awareness as well as one-on-one time with the horses. During the individual work the group will be part of the process by holding the space for you and the horse.
This workshop combines the best of equine inspired coaching, vision work, and manifestation techniques. It supports participants in their efforts to crystallize their dreams and turn them into reality. Often clients share their stories of unfinished books, stalled business ideas and stagnant careers with me. Based on my personal experience and the experience of my clients, there is no need to stay stuck in this place when there are opportunities and ways to bring your visions to life.
Get clear, make a plan and start living your best life yet. Click here for more information and to register.
What will it mean for the human race if children come of age in a world bereft of other living creatures? Their growing years will be immeasurably less vivid and vibrant. their connection with the earth will be severed, and part of their inborn potential for amazement will go uncultivated. It is not just that animals make the world more scenic or picturesque. The lives of animals are woven into our very being--closer than our own breathing--and our souls will suffer when they are gone.

Some of you have absolutely no understanding of motorcycle racing. I will explain it for you being I have tracked at Laguna. Rossi at the entrance to the corkscrew hits the left apex on the drop, Marquez is way outside because well, he went around the outside. Great move by the way. So if Rossi hit the apex he couldn't "push Marquez wide". Now once you drop down the hill and completely load the front of your bike, you can't just suddenly move further left to make room for a rider who couldn't come further anyway. Then already loaded, flick it back right and complete the corkscrew? Are you girls soft in the head? There was no touch and no complaints from either rider after the race, so anything further from any of you blockbeads is simply conjecture.

The neighborhood
It is located in Gracia, originally a town separated from Barcelona. Today, it unites old charm with modern city comfort. It is one of Barcelona's most alternative and avant-garde neighborhoods, with a rich cultural life. In its narrow streets and lively squares, you can enjoy the most exotic dishes. Gracia attracts artists, designers and young bohemians that prefer the cafés of this quaint area to the touristy city center.
Every year, during the festivities of the Fiesta Mayor de Gracia, you will be able to join the thousands of people that invade the streets, stroll, listen to live music and dance. This flat is located near the Plaza de la Vila de Gràcia (also known as Plaza Rius i Taulet), with Gracia's city council and its clock tower. During the festivities, the square fills with live music, castellers (human towers) and dancers.

The apartment is such in the picture. This convenient and most importantly for the summer, the air conditioning. The beds are comfortable and has practically everything for cooking. On the negative side, the air has a bucket that is filled quickly and that bothers leak downstairs neighbor. We agreed with the owner at the time of arrival and the truth that good, no discomfort during our stay, and although I did not like the method of deposit, understand that it is comfortable to not have to go anywhere back.
El apartamento es tal cual en la foto. Esta bien situado y lo mas importante para el verano, tiene aire acondicionado. Las camas son comodas y tiene practicamente de todo para poder cocinar. Como puntos negativos, el aire tiene un cubo de agua que se llena rapidamente y esa gotera molesta a la vecina de abajo. Nos pusimos de acuerdo con la propietaria a la hora de llegada y la verdad que bien, ninguna molestia durante nuestra estancia, y a pesar que no me gustaba el metodo de fianza, entiendo que es comodo para no tener que ir a ningun lugar de vuelta.
Die Wohnung war sehr schön und die Lage super! Man sollte erwähnen dass es keine Heizung gibt und es manchmal sehr lärmig werden kann von der Bar gegenüber (bis 3 Uhr morgens)
Okey standard. Allthough there was just 2 actual beds, the doublebeds are just thin madresses on wooden planks. The bathroom were really tight, but for a shorter stay its ok. No hot water the firts 2 days.
La zona dell'alloggio è tranquilla e ben collegata con i mezzi pubblici, peccato che le coincidenze dei mezzi devi scoprirli tu perché non sono fornite. L'abitazione è accogliente come descritto e come si vede dalle foto. I servizi complementari (necessario per igiene, lavaggio, pulizia) nonché lenzuola e asciugamani non sono stati soddisfacenti. Nel complesso ci tornerei.
The girl that received us, Joanna, was very nice and punctual. We had no problem at all receiving the keys, everything was fine and the apartment is near the Tram and the Metro Station, very nice building and neighborhood, as a comment that we saw here, you can eat very good and not so expensive right across the street in the restaurant "Grillo". What we didn't like is that, in the first advertisement was not announced the deposit fee and how much was it, and a cleaning fee of 60 euros either. When we wanted to use the cups, they were not washed well even lipstick was on the edge of one of them and the 4 small ones that we needed were with stains of coffee in the base like they just stored them dirty. But the apartment was very clean and very comfortable and I would recommend it.
Muy buena estancia, aunque nos fallo el gps y tardamos un poco en llegar y nos cobraron el recargo... En resumen el piso muy limpio, con algunos fallos pero bastante bien. El restaurante de abajo riquisimo y bastante bien de precio.
Flat top, keys easily, super friendly! again and again!
Excellent flat, key exchange without problems, super friendly! Fully recommended!
Wohnung spitze, Schlüsselübergabe problemlos, super freundlich! Immer wieder!
Excellent flat, key exchange without problems, super friendly! Fully recommended!
Just great! The person who greeted us was friendly. The apartment, in line with the announcement and photos, is very nice, comfortable, very clean and well located in a quiet area, two minutes walk from the Metro. We will quickly and easily in the center of Barcelona (Ramblas, Catalunya, Gracia, etc ....). Supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and other small shops. All just steps from the Spanish Steps ...
Would recommend highly!
Tout très bien! La personne qui nous a accueillis était sympathique. L'appartement, conforme à l'annonce et aux photos, est très agréable, confortable, très propre et bien situé dans un quartier calme, à deux minutes à pied du métro. On va aisément et rapidement au centre de Barcelone (ramblas, Catalunya, Gracia, etc....). Supermarchés, boulangeries, restaurants et autres petits magasins à proximité. Le tout à deux pas de la place d'Espagne...
A recommander fortement !

Synopsis: In BAD JOHNSON, women are practically throwing themselves at Rich (Cam Gigandet/ "Twilight," "Easy A") and he can't seem to control himself. But he continually blames his penis, which seems to have a mind of its own. After ruining yet another promising relationship with Jamie (Jamie Chung/ "The Hangover II & III"), Rich has finally had enough and wishes his penis would just leave him alone. The next morning, Rich wakes up to find his wish has come true and his johnson is no longer on his body. Even worse, Rich is shocked to discover that his penis has taken human form (Nick Thune). Selfish, oversexed and irresponsible, his penis is now on the loose with no desire to return. Pitted against his alter ego, Rich must figure out how to reign in his penis, both literally and figuratively, in order to finally learn what separates the men from their boys.
"I wish my d*ck would just leave me alone." No, really, that's the first key line of dialogue in Cam Gigandet's "Bad Johnson." Purporting to be a comedy (!?), the movie is about a charismatic womanizer who receives his comeuppance after his penis mysteriously leaves his body and takes human form. No...Read More »

It's a beautiful thing when a company makes the transition from turnaround to good operator, and home furnishings retailer Pier 1 (NYSE:PIR) seems to be doing exactly that. Comp growth continues to impress, margins are looking good and the company has several initiatives underway that should drive higher sales and/or margins. I wouldn't be in any hurry to leave this party were I already in the room, but new investors might want to consider the valuation today before diving in with their own money.
Guide To Oil And Gas Plays: We've got your comprehensive guide to oil and gas shales in North America.
Another Good Quarter in the Books
Although Hurricane Sandy was definitely a negative factor for the quarter, Pier 1 still delivered a pretty strong result.
Revenue rose almost 11% this quarter, with comp sales up 7.9% (against a 7% increase last year). With roughly 25% of the company's store base impacted by Sandy, that's impressive performance in my book. It's also worth noting that management said that comps would have been up more on the order of 9% were it not for the storm. Inventory did increase more than 13%, in part due to the company's attempts to build its ecommerce business.
Pier 1 also continued to make progress with its margin structure. While merchandise margins were flat at 60.5%, overall gross margin improved 70 basis points to nearly 44%. SG&A growth was also below the pace of revenue growth, and the company reported 18% operating income growth for the quarter.
The Going Gets Tougher, but Pier 1 Has Plans
Not unlike Bed Bath & Beyond (Nasdaq:BBBY), Williams Sonoma (NYSE:WSM) and TJX (NYSE:TJX), Pier 1 can't afford to rest on its laurels. Shopper traffic comes and goes, and relying only on good merchandising decisions is playing a risky game.
To that end, Pier 1 has a number of initiatives targeted at driving better sales and/or margins. It seems like this summer's ecommerce launch has gone well, and Pier 1 is investing the resources (including inventory) to support it. While I suspect shipping costs and the limits of shopping through a screen do put some limits on what companies like Pier 1 and IKEA can do with ecommerce for furniture, there's plenty that can be done with smaller items.
In addition to the ecommerce site, Pier 1 is looking to push its private label credit card, its rewards program and a new point of sale (POS) system for its stores. Targeted rewards programs are pretty much a proven way to boost sales and a better POS should improve inventory and supply chain management.
All of that said, investors should remember that Pier 1 has been enjoying a good run of same-store sales. While I do not believe that the company is going to lose its merchandising touch overnight, more difficult comps (an 11% year-ago comp for December) aren't going to do the company any favors. Likewise, more support from Bed Bath & Beyond for the World Market concept and from Williams Sonoma for West Elm could be threats on the margin.
The Bottom Line
There's plenty to like with Pier 1, including the improving margins, the good sales per square foot and the solid returns on capital. I also find it encouraging that the company is launching another $100 million buyback and hiking the dividend by 25% (to 5 cents per share per quarter).
All of that said, valuation is a little demanding. A free cash flow growth rate of 10% is arguably pretty robust for a company with a relatively mature store base and no new hot growth angle to the story. Even if Pier 1 gets the benefit of the doubt with a lower discount rate, it's hard for me to get to a fair value on Pier 1 shares above the high teens.

I have an Xperia Z c6603. Getting H+ over ATT networks at 850 MHz.
ATT in my home area only offers H+ at 1900 MHz.
I get no H+ in my home area, since the c6603 does not use the 1900 MHz frequency.
The c6602 works with 850 and 1900 MHZ.
I understand the c6603 and the c6602 have exactly the same hardware.
With that, I believe my phone is hardware capable of both, 850 and 1900 MHz, but not programmed for it.
I have flashed c6602 firmware on my c6603.
The model number on info screens still shows up as c6603.
I still do not get H+ with the c6602 firmware.
QUESTION: Is there any way that I can completely transform my c6603 into a c6602 so I can access 1900 MHz in my home area?
Put differently, since the hardware is exactly the same, I assume it's the programming that activates certain frequencies. Some threads say the modem needs to be "enabled" for these frequencies, which is more than a simple baseband or firmware flash. My c6603 did not work well with c6602 baseband flash. I'd like full compatibility, hence my question about full transformation of a c6603 into a c6602.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

While students are getting familiar with their new classrooms and teachers, health officials are preparing to combat an unwanted guest prone to cropping up across the country every year - the seasonal flu.
In Ohio County, officials will start offering influenza shots starting Thursday. This year's concoction contains three strains. Clinics will be held at the Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department from 9-11 a.m. and again from 1-3 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.
The season typically runs from November to April. It takes about two weeks to build immunity after receiving the shot. In addition to getting vaccinated, health officials say the best way to combat the flu is to wash one's hands frequently.
"We do have vaccine now in stock. We have also set our clinics to begin Sept. 1 and are currently scheduling off-campus clinics at several business, facilities and agencies. As of this afternoon we have 15 off-campus clinics set up," said Howard Gamble, health department administrator.
"Businesses are beginning to make sure their employees are vaccinated and protected during the upcoming flu seasons. We are getting inquires from the general public on our clinics and people are signing up for the clinics."
Gamble said flu seasons happen about the same time annually, but there are indicators about their severity.
"Although epidemics of flu happen every year, the timing, severity, and length of the epidemic depends on many factors, including what influenza viruses are spreading and whether they match the viruses in the vaccine. Sometimes we look at what is happening on the international level," he noted.

I am trying to retrieve a blob from a postgres database using the jdbc drivers. It is too big to have in memory so I want to stream it as a download. I tried using the getBinaryStream method on ResultSet, but it turns out that this method actually reads it all into memory, so doesn't work for large file.
Apparently, one can use the getBlob method on the resultset and the presumeably get the inputstream from the blob and go from there, but that is where I run into my problem.
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select data from file_data WHERE ID = ?");
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery()
That is the code I'm running. When it gets to that last line it throw out an error that I cannot make sense of...
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type long : xxxxxx
"xxxxxx" then is the contents of the file. You can imagine that gets quite long, but not really the point.
I'm stuck here. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on? Heck I'll even take alternative methods for streaming large blobs as a download.
