I was so silly to bring my earplugs for the loud music. Two thousand eight hundred screaming ticket holders welcomed Canadian duo Tegan and Sara like the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. Representing the minority of their fanbase, I was maybe the only heterosexual male not towed across the floor like a water skier by his girlfriend.
The madness began at the BART station. I've never witnessed such visible excitement for a concert. Nervously excited, girls squeezed through turnstiles as quickly as possible. They yelled back at their friends, fully prepared to leave them behind should they get pinned between closing gates.
Sitting in the front row of the balcony, I watched a crowd of mostly college students swarm beneath golden statues resembling a Hindu god. Wanting to enjoy every second of this night, they cheered for garage rockers Steel Train and new waver Holly Miranda. Then Tegan and Sara provided a smooth 90 minute performance. Moody, dynamic lighting amplified the emotions.They played tunes largely from their last three albums, including most of their newest Sainthood. Compensating for their briefer than normal banter, Tegan and Sara squeezed in a lot of hit songs, including a four song encore that included an explosive rendition of "Living Room."
Given the number of people in the crowd, it took a very long time for everybody to start jumping up and down. Oddly, fans yelled between songs, but when their heroines strummed guitars and played keyboards, they stood near motionless. I felt self conscious about my head bopping which scared me a little.
Way too many fans busied themselves capturing shake-free Youtube video with their IPhones. Perhaps noticing the inhibition, the girls onstage pointed the spotlights at the balcony and made everybody stand up and do "the wave." Playfully, they warned those standing in front of the stage, they would publicly embarrass them next. Finally towards the finale, they received two standing ovations. It seemed a little late to me.
A couple of crazy moments materialized, however. A small group of ravers lost control of their glow-sticks, one of which sailed past Sara's head. This lead her to ask the crowd, "If you are deciding to throw something at me, make it something soft, like a gerbil, that I can bring with me on the bus." Tegan suggested money. Then someone threw a fake flower, freaking her out because a beer cup flew at her earlier. She also warned a drunken lady who'd been air groping the duo the whole time that she could fall over the railing. The majority of the Bay Area fan club, lacked enough physical energy . Still, this was not enough to detract from an amazing show

Has anyone ever run the mainsheet from the back of the boat, so it isn't run across the cockpit and in the way of passengers. The problem i've been having is when im sailing it from the back of the cockpit, and im just taking someone for a ride, the mainsheet always gets in the way on a tack. In addition, removing that ratchet block and relocating the mainsheet could really help with the sunfish's passenger carry capability. any ideas/suggestions?
Anyone know if this would be a good idea on the sunfish? Or is this too much load for the bridal line and the eye strap and block in the back? http://www.hobiecat.com/sailing/gallery.php?model=bravo&img_num=34&res=hr
I just give up trying to use the deck block with more than 2 people and go back to the old fashion way.
I believe that might be just holding the sheet with your hand and not running it through the block. Remember the little hook in the cockpit? Fred
Sunstorm87: Are you using sheet holders? Can be as simple as two pieces of line (or hook and loop) to hold the sheet up at 'strategic' locations. BTW, when you are tacking, there shouldn't be too much sheet hanging down because you are going from a 'sheet in' position to a 'sheet in' position on the other side. Jibing is another story. You can also pull on the sheet at the appropriate time when the boom crosses over. That's what Laser sailors (have to) do when jibing.
I was plaqued by a drooping mainsheet (during) gybes, this would usually grab me by the neck. The solution I used was to put 5 loosely attached zap-straps on the boom, this prevents the mainsheet from sagging and does not affect it's operation.
Funny that this got brought up the same day as the mastheadsailinggear.com question since they seem to carry these...http://www.mastheadsailinggear.com/pc-19411-2527-mainsheet-hangers-pk-of-2.aspx
Mainsheet hangers bring up another good point, but more of what i'm getting at, is the fact that, often in order to have more room, and not shoulder to shoulder, my passengers sit forward of the cockpit on a corner, near the mainsheet block. This allows them more freedom of movement and allows me to have more freedom of movement on windy days. So if I am sailing it from the back, the main is going across the cockpit, I have to let the main loose a bit, so they can get over it on a tack, and let them switch sides before I do so i can operate the mainsheet when the boom crosses over. I have to do this all pretty slowly because i'm trying not to surprise anyone with a boom to the face, which really kills my speed (and control-ability) and is downright dangerous on a really windy day, especially with a large gust factor in close proximity to obstructions or traffic. In addition, the part of the main going from the front traveler block on the boom to the mainsheet block really restricts movement forward of the cockpit. I am 150 and 5'10" and a lot of my friends are over six feet, or bigger and heavier than I am and don't know how to sail, so they're just extra weight. Lately, it's hard finding a day on the weekend in Northern Minnesota where it isn't ridiculously windy, so teaching can be a bit difficult. I was also looking to get a cam cleat, and when I saw the hobie bravo setup, it looked like exactly what i needed. Only thing I wonder about is whether that "raceIII" traveler block and eye strap has enough strength to support the rigging by itself. BC
I think the hard part of sheeting from the back is that you won't be able to sheet in tight in heavy wind. When your sheet in tight, the boom will bend, flattening and depowering the sail.
Why don't you think so? Are you thinking along the lines of mechanical advantage? Even if it is led from the back eye strap on the boom?
lol, no kidding, i'll loose money on selling it right now though, too late in the season and the fish aren't biting, so to speak. Being in college, the funds are somewhat limited...so any ideas to this problem? BC
I don't think the sheet will pull in the correct spot to get a healthy curve in the boom. Of course, with two people, it probably won't matter much.
Ivy...blame it on my somewhat intermediate level of sailing knowledge. Curious, is this assuming there is a boom vang around the gooseneck? Would that help with the sail/boom shape in this situation? BC
This sounds like there's something amiss in the setup. Look again at the Hobie. With "end boom sheeting" the mainsheet doesn't come forward except to the hand of the helmsman. As skipper, aren't you calling out your intentions… "Ready About" or "Prepare to Jibe", then waiting for the "crew" to reply with an affirmative "Ready" before execution…, following with a skipper confirmation of "Hard-a-Lee" or "Jibe Ho"? http://www.videos.sailingcourse.com/tacking.htm http://www.videos.sailingcourse.com/jibing.htm The system applies to both working crew or passengers so everyone knows what to expect..., it was developed long long ago to prevent misunderstandings and possible injuries. Of course you have to take a few minutes with new sailors to explain the call and response system used on a sailboat and walk them through how and when everyone is going to move. If you don't think the OEM boom block is up to the load, why not clip in or tie in a stronger block for your temporary rig? If you are using a traveler block on the bridle you can upgrade it as well, if not, you'll be tying in the block w/becket and cam cleat combo direct to the bridle.
I agree with Wavedancer, you need a bigger boat, a boat that really is designed for two people. Sailing with two adults on a Sunfish can't be much fun, especially when one of them hasn't sailed before. People new to sailing can't seem to find a safe place to sit on a larger keel boat never mind a boat with a "cockpit" the size of a salad bowl.
Bought a harken swivel/cam/57mm ratcheting block with a becket, should work out just fine, i hope...we will see! Going to talk to laserperformance before actually sailing with the setup though.
I would think that it would help. It definitely seems that you can dial in some curve to the boom with the vang. I won't profess to be an expert on Sunfish trim, but I've spent plenty of time racing keelboats. What made me think to mention the draft issue was from an observation on the Lake Michigan beach with my Sunfish. My vintage 1969 Ratsey sail has a ton of draft in it. I started wondering how exactly how you control the draft on the sail. On a conventional boat, you'd use the outhaul and backstay. Experimenting on the beach, it is easy to flatten the sail by sheeting in hard. The forward mainsheet block is located almost exactly in the middle of the boom, letting you flatten the sail. While it will be useful racing, I don't think it's a big deal for two people sailing around for fun. I'd just be sure that the aft block on the boom is well attached, as there will be more load on it.

"Heracleion" ...but the Greeks did not get their mythology from Egypt and the city is named after Heracles?

The greeks had been in egypt for well over 500 years before christ, and there were enough there that Alexander the Great was able to easily conquer in 332 BC.
Delete The Hellenes "discovered" Aeria (Gk. 'Aegyptos', Egypt, meaning 'Land of [the god] Ptah') after the collapse of the Assyrian Empire in 612BC when Mycenaean and Lacedaemonian mercenaries were brought in to defend the place against "nomadic" bandits, newly liberated from the Assyrian police state, as it was a link in an important trade route from the Far East. With these mercenaries came their wives and children. Around 300BC Manetho was commissioned to translate the history of Aeria into Greek for the benefit of the occupying power. According to Manetho, the recorded history of Aeria went back some 36,000 years.

There is a lot of anger and hatred being posted here against Jewry. It's very good to see this. Hatred is as much a valid and useful emotion as any other. Don't ever let anyone talk you in to the BS "don't be hatin'". Hate is a good thing. It keeps you safe from the sick evil such as Jewry, Queers, Feral Blacks, Violent Latinos......

Try not to associate hatred for others on the same level as hatred for the (evil amongst the) Jews, or using the modern term, Zionists.
They are on a level all by themselves. Truly the whole world in in pain due to their meddling, double-dealing and deceitfulness.

Greeks owned Egypt at the end. Cleopatras, all of them. Empire beget empire, the aristocracy is handed down to this day. The remnants of secret societies comprised of priests (kings) and princes are now apparent in the masons and jesuits. Like it or not, this heritage influenced the creation of "independent" America. You need look no further than the layout of Washington DC streets, the Washington monument, etc. It is not exclusively "Jewish" as is thought, but the Jewish expertise of money scam is quite ancient.

Become fluent in the "love languages" so your volunteers feel just how much you appreciate them!
We asked our staff and friends in ministry what their primary love language is — and how someone made them feel appreciated in that language.
Words of Affirmation The senior pastor I loved serving with most as a minister of education was an older gentlemen who used to regularly say to the congregation while I was in range of hearing: "And aren't we grateful to have Wes? Let's hope he never discovers just how good he is or he'll leave us for a bigger church." I never left for a bigger church! Wes Fleming
Receiving Gifts The things I've appreciated most have come in the form of someone appreciating the time I've taken from my family and by making it possible for me to spend fun time with my family. I've received a babysitter when my kids were younger; movie tickets; gift certificates to dinner somewhere; tickets to a play; and a card sent to my wife saying thanks for allowing me to take time away from her and the family. Dave Hoffman
Acts of Service It was the beginning of the school year (a.k.a. crazy time!) and I had to have back surgery. I had two weeks notice and was single with no family to count on here in Memphis…just my church family. My wonderful leadership team plugged into high gear! Not only did they do an awesome job of taking care of things while I was gone, but they came to bring me food, take my dog out, empty my dishwasher, wash my clothes, and even hold my head when I was as sick as a dog from the meds! Elaine Friedrich Hall
Words of Affirmation I was seriously considering quitting my ministry position, but then the mother of a child I taught took me aside and thanked me for investing time and energy into her daughter and for helping her little girl feel special. "You have no idea what a difference you make," this woman said, "and how much Amy looks forward to coming to church." Those words kept me in ministry — first on staff and for the next 20 years as a volunteer. Mikal Keefer
Receiving Gifts Give me something that shows you know me and I'm yours. Most of my students and faculty peers know I'm hooked on two great loves: music and Coca-Cola. Consequently, I have Coke bottles from all over the world, plus plenty of "real thing" memorabilia. I also receive a lot of free music! Rick Chromey
Words of Affirmation On my birthday, a dear friend staged a surprise party for me after the service. The fellowship hall was filled with children and their families yelling, "Surprise! Happy birthday!" They gave me a beautiful box filled with notes, drawings, pictures, and cards from "my kids" and their parents. I pull out that box frequently when I need a pick-me-up, a good laugh, or a simple smile. Kandi Elliott

Physical Touch When my husband died, one of my pastors told me he was a "safe" person to hug. And I desperately needed hugs at that time. Whenever I saw him at church, he would wrap his arms around me and hold me. I never felt uncomfortable about his embrace, only comforted. Over time, I needed his hugs less frequently but I will always remember his touch as a safe comfort for me. Christine Yount
Quality Time When I was a teenager, I sat in the front of the van on a youth group road trip. I talked with the youth sponsor for a long time, and I felt loved and appreciated because he spent time with me and gave me a listening ear. I was the kind of teenager who seemed to get passed over because I always seemed like I was doing fine. So it was really significant to have someone listen to me and care about my life. Amy Simpson

The TV mom and real life mom celebrates her birthday smack in the middle of the holiday season!
Jane Kaczmarek is most known for playing Frankie Muniz's mom Lois on the hit TV show, Malcolm in the Middle, but she is actually a mom to three of her own children — Frances, 13, George, 11, and Mary, 8, with fellow actor Bradley Whitford! After the series finale of Malcolm in May 2006, Jane went on to appear in shows like Help Me Help You and TNT's Raising The Bar. She also still voices Judge Constance Harm on some episodes of The Simpsons!
Although Jane and Bradley divorced in 2009, she still considers him the love of her life and will forever be grateful for their three children. "My kids have a great dad," she says to People. "I don't really want them to have a stepfather and I don't think they do either. It's so new."
We hope Jane has a wonderful birthday and holiday season filled with love and happiness! Happy Birthday Jane!

Fruits vary widely in the amount of sugar they contain. For example, half a cup of raspberries contains 3.5 grams of net carb, whereas half a cup of raisins contains 61 grams. (That is about a third of a cup of sugar!) These categories of fruit are roughly in order from low to high, sugar-wise, though there are some exceptions. Here is the complete fruit list, with each fruit linked to more information, including low-carb recipes for some of them.

1. Berries - Berries are, in general, the fruits lowest in sugar - and also among the highest in antioxidants and other nutrients.

2. Summer Fruits - Melons, peaches, nectarines, and apricots are next in sugar-order.

3. Winter Fruits - Apples, pears, and citrus fruit are moderate in sugars.

4. Tropical Fruits - Pineapple, pomegranates, mangoes, bananas, and fresh figs are high in sugar (guava and papaya are lower than the others).

5. Dried Fruit - Dates, raisins, apricots, prunes, figs, and most other dried fruits are extremely high in sugar. Dried cranberries and blueberries would be lower, except that a lot of sugar is usually added to combat the tartness.

Dehydrated or freeze-dried berries and summer fruits, when you can find them, are a good alternative to dried.

LONDON – England – We have acquired rare footage filmed deep in the heart of London's Tower Hamlets council.
The footage deep within Tower Hamlets was acquired at great risk to life and filmed covertly by our undercover reporter.
We thought we lost our clandestine reporter as we had not heard any news for weeks. He had entered the town centre in the cover of darkness and attempted to blend in with the locals.
There were sporadic reports for a few days then everything went cold.
Finally, yesterday we received a usb hard disk by carrier pigeon.
Our editor immediately plugged it in and here is the amazing video for our viewers.

I have cold hands. Really. 364 days of the year. The other day (or two) they're just plain freezing. I cannot get enough mittens, gloves, mitts or sweater sleeves to cover them. The Wool Dispensary Greater Restorative yarn is a soft and lofty singles yarn, perfect to trap all the warmth I can get! The undulating pattern makes me think of waves of heat while I try to convince myself my hands are actually warm.
Due to the small cables and small stitch count, these mittens are a good intro to cable knitting -- not to mention that the anatomically correct thumb patterning will make you comfortable in winter.
Perfect little travelling project for the easy to remember patterning and also, great as a quick gift -- I made these in 48 hours!

We had a wonderful time in Vico Boemondo. Giuliano's apartments are
right in the heart of Lecce. Its historic centre is extremely beautiful
and it offers a vivid - typical Italian - night life.
As the apartment we booked online was already given away, Giuliano
upgraded it for free. So in the end, we had a comfortable and big
apartment with everything we asked for. (We even had our own little
On top, Giuliano and his father were very friendly and helpful.
We gladly recommend Giuliano's place!!
Amazing place, really nice couple in charge of it. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Mi sono trovato bene a Lecce: il proprietario è stato molto disponibile per ogni aspetto del soggiorno. Grazie

Integration of Building energy and energy supply simulations for low-energy district heating supply to energy-efficient buildings
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2012
The future will demand implementation of C02 neutral communities, the consequences being a far more complex design of the whole energy system, since the future energy infrastructures will be dynamic and climate responsive systems. Software able to work with such level of complexity is at present a missing link in the development. In this paper is demonstrated how a link between a dynamic Building Simulation Programme (BSP) and a simulation program for District Heating (DH) networks can give important information during the design phase. By using a BSP it is possible to analyze the influence of the human behaviour regarding the building and link the results to the simulation program for DH networks. The results show that human behaviour can lead to 50% higher heating demand and 60% higher peak loads than expected according to reference values in standardized calculation of energy demand. The analysis also shows that the connection of low-energy buildings to DH networks is potentially a good solution in Denmark for reaching the climatic goals, but a high degree of connection must be reached, especially for detached houses, where most of the buildings in a typical community must be connected to ensure a reasonable economy.

Spring Wishlist
J. Crew Silk Blythe Blouse, Current/Elliot Boyfriend Jeans, Essie 'orange it's obvious' and 'ole caliente', House of Harlow Jordana Sunnies, Zara Snakeskin Sandals
Spring has (mostly) sprung, and with that comes the craving for new spring clothes! Normally I would find myself swooning over pretty floral dresses, but this year I seem to be craving a more simple, classic spring look! While these all appear to be very basic, none of them currently exist in my closet (with the exception of bright nail polish, of course!) - a white silk blouse, a pair of boyfriend jeans and a pair of gorgeous pumps, topped off with bright nails and these amazing House of Harlow sunnies, and I will be set for spring!
What's on your spring wishlist?
18 comments:
I LOVE this look! And it still amazes me that we seem to like the same things and yet dress differently!
(Note to self: need to post an outfit again!)
PS: just bought the ole caliente nail polish, but I didn't like it on my nails. Well, I have tiny nails, so obviously nothing really looks great on them!

A millionaire businessman has said he was "surprised" at the negative reaction of his ex-wife when he asked her to stay living in their marital home and work as a housekeeper to him and his new partner, a judge has heard.
The details emerged in reports from a private trial in the Family Division of the High Court in London where the man's partner was awarded a payout of more than £6 million by the judge after the couple fought over money.
The man, who has interests in a portfolio of property in London, had said he could not understand why his partner "through her lawyers" became "so aggressive" when he informed her of the new arrangements, Mr Justice Bodey said.
The court awarded the man's former wife nearly half of a "kitty" containing more than £13 million. The judge said the verdict could be reported but said the couple, from London, could not be identified.
The court was told that the couple married in the 1970s and divorced in the 1990s but treated the divorce as "just a piece of paper" and carried on living together.
Around five years ago the man, who is in his 70s, met another woman and installed her and her 12-year-old daughter into the marital home, said Mr Justice Bodey.
The man went on to ask his former wife, who is in her 50s, to stay in the home as "some sort of housekeeper", a suggestion she found "very demeaning and upsetting".
At that point the lady consulted with solicitors to begin litigation, but the judge said the man "could not come to terms with why (the partner), through her lawyers, had become so aggressive".
The man told her that he would "commit suicide or go on hunger strike" if she "went to court regarding financial matters".
The man's former wife was awarded £6.12m of a £13.6m fortune after the judge concluded that there was 'no distinction' between the couple's marriage and their life together after the divorce.
The man had argued that he and his partner reached an agreement which meant that she would be entitled to no more than £3.4 million.
His partner said the agreement was signed after she was placed under duress. He denied the allegation but the judge ruled in the partner's favour.

Really...I thought they needed fluid top-ups......so are the DPFs fitted to Fiestas the newer ceramic wrapped type that dont need expensive regen fluids...? Thanx Ken
Id double check you MPG.....these boxes are fooling the high pressure pump into putting more fuel pressure into the fuel rail...in other words more fuel for a given signal the ECU is asking for. The ECU still thinks its injecting standard fuel rate and doesnt know about the extra fuel going in.....the MPG figure shown on the dash is based on this false assumption by the ECU...... Driven steady the MPG should be SLIGHTLY better......the adverts advertising big MPG increases from plug in boxes are complete fiction im afraid. Ken
Great guide...... Just another note....anyone who has access to a ramp....you can also gain access to the plug from under the car. Ken
Well mine is 100% related to the latch......if I get someone to push down on a closed boot...it makes the exact noise....adjustung the latch does alter the noise. Ive found the boot latch must line up perfectly with the 2 rubber/plastic guides in the latch that you alter on the car side. Im still investigating....ill report back any progress.... Ken
Hi there Does anyone else have a creaking boot on thier MK7 Fiesta...? If so does anyone know what the fix is cos its driving me mad..... Thanx Ken
It depends if your car is DPF or not....! Ken
Thats very possible if his car is a diesel.... Ken
Get your dealer to check the latest firmware is in your bluetooth unit in the car.......im using HTC desire on 2.2 and it works perfectly..... Ken
Well all the components of the sound system talk to each other by a type of CAN-BUS system.....there is likley to be either a genuine fault with one of the units....the main CD unit hidden behind the stereo buttons or the BT unit up behind the glovebox.....or a loose cable....id have a "fiddle" around and make sure all plugs are connected and fitted right..... Ken
You need....... To cut the end off a loom which had the sony unit fitted as standard in order to get the plug needed as you cannot get it from ford Then order a parrot patch lead that you would use to fit one of their hands free kits in order to get the sockets needed Then you need the wiring diagram for the fiesta audio system...... Then get the soldering iron out and make a conversion lead up..... It took for ever....and if you get it wrong you can damage the headunit...display.....bt unit....or all 3..... Ken
Erm.....that is a comment from someone who has done the swap...... Ken
My misses had a Wildfire whilst her Legend got fixed...yes worked fine.... Ken
Carl.21 liked a post in a topic: Bluetooth Conectivity With Android 2.1
I can tell you 100% that the HTC Desire and Legend work 100% with phone book showing on the stereo display...also playing music via bluetooth works perfectly....BUT....i will say....problems are far more likley to be the cars bluetooth firmware needing updating...as a friend of mine had problems with his Desire until he got the cars firmware updated by the delaer... Ken
Im liking this idea......and actually have enough pure white SMD L.E.D.s to try out a few ideas on one headlight unit.....ill report back tommorrow with pictures.... Ken
Interesting idea......are you able to show more pictures of the headlight unit so we can see how / were you mounted the LEDs...... Thanx Ken

The 1-Ton Truck (actually a 14' cargo van) is perfect for interviews, man on the street, EPKs, and other run-and-gun projects. It has been used (with add-ons on) almost a dozen features, dozens of commercials, and countless other projects.
No pictures of the van -- all we can say is that it's ugly but it works. The plan is to replace it early Q1 2013.
The Standard 1-Ton Grip & Electric Gear List
First of all, TIM LOVES LIGHTS. He is so passionate about lighting that he has managed to buy more lights than what fits in all 3 grip trucks, a 20' cargo container, his office, and all our storage trucks (over 150 total at last count). Although it's impossible to own every type of light for every type of job, he is always adding extra equipment to our inventory, so it never hurts to ask if we have it. What we don't have we can subrent from one of the rental houses around town, schedule permitting.
Second, keep in mind that this list is our normal load-out -- however, it is subject to change at any time (gear already on rental with another customer, in repair, or otherwise indisposed). To be safe, you must call ahead and discuss your actual equipment needs with us, otherwise the truck may be loaded with everything except the one piece of gear you need most. Be safe and call us at (408) 406-1832 to confirm exactly what you need.

Rental Terms
Except under special circumstances, all our grip trucks require a signed Light Hollywood contract, an insurance certificate (loss payee, additional insured, and non-owned and hired auto), 100% payment for the rental, and a member of Light Hollywood as a driver / crew member (price negotiable). If any of these terms doesn't work for your production or you have special concerns, please feel free to give us a call.
Keep in mind about our Light Hollywood crew member requirement: with myself or a Light Hollywood member as a driver for every truck, I am proud to say in over 10 years and over 1000 jobs I have never billed anyone or their insurance for a loss claim over $150, and only one damage claim over $500. This system has worked very well over the years to minimize or eliminate loss & damage, and is designed to protect both Light Hollywood and you. If you ever question the value of this requirement, ask Cinelease, Wooden Nickel, or any other rental house what's the largest claim they've ever filed. The numbers are staggering.

The banks' attitude has therefore been the one consistently hopeful feature of the past six months of tortuous negotiations. But is this enough to save the company?
The banks are expected to grant GPA an extension of a waiver on loan covenants, which expires today, to allow further negotiations with GE Capital Corporation and one other unnamed party, which are interested in buying a stake in the company. The banks would accept even an outline agreement as the trigger for debt rescheduling, preceded by a bridging loan to pay debts to bondholders that start falling due in ten days.
The bondholders are the key, since if they do not get their money they can tip the company over the edge. Many are writ-happy American investors. That augurs badly for the GPA board's hopes of declaring a moratorium on all debt repayments and starting formal negotiations with the bondholders if the bridging loan is not forthcoming. A moratorium could be followed all too swiftly by examinership.
The simplest way out is a quick sale of full control to GE or the other contender, which would be bound to be followed by the resignations of several executive directors. But would any buyer want to take on all the bond debt?
A takeover would involve protracted haggling with the bondholders, who might be forced to convert part of their holdings into some form of quasi-equity. This process now looks like GPA's only hope.
Given that examinership gives a greater role to existing management than administration, it may soon become a more appealing alternative to some GPA directors. They should think very seriously about it.

How Much Time
...who has supposedly had your house listed for eight days but has YET to post it on the internet????
...who recommends termite companies based not on who is competent, but apparently based on who is not as good at finding problems. ("Oh, no! You called Terminix and not the croney I recommended? Terminix ALWAYS finds stuff!!!!")
...who starts telephone conversations with you in mid sentence and then constantly goes off on scatterbrained rabbit trails about the other irons she has in the fire, instead of focusing on her business with you while she's talking to you.
...who fails repeatedly to explain what she's doing in lay terms and speaks in half thoughts?
...who leaves your place saying that an open house is not going to be necessary since everyone looks at the internet these days, and then calls you to schedule an open house.
Seriously, how much time would you give such a realtor before moving on to someone who can actually communicate effectively in various ways?
I'd like to know. Cuz at this point I'm thinking people buy houses from her just to get her out of their lives.

Get rid of her!
- mamajuliana said...
...might go find someone else. I am spoiled. The only time we needed a realtor recently was to sell a piece of land for my father who is in a nursing home. It was on the market 5 days...we got list price. I'm talking about a really overgrown lot that needs a lot of work! We were blessed indeed!
hope things go better for you...
How did you find her? Word of mouth, recommendation? just wonderin' - 7:48 PM
- Tabitha said...
She does sound a bit dodgy, or at least ditzy. But really I don't have any advice. Realtors on the whole are like car salesmen, and they make me nervous. I've always wondered if perhaps our realtor embellished things a bit to speed up our decision making process. I've always felt we were rushed, I just don't know whether or not it was necessary. Good luck.
- Philippa said...
Not much time Alana. Your house should have been on the internet and Multilistings within 24 hours. What does she say when you ask her why that hasn't happened?
Perhaps it would be wise to keep notations of her failings and give her broker a call.
Open houses are good for the realtors to do a walk through and familiarize themselves with the house or so I am told. Very rarely does a sale come from one.
In all seriousness, I'd give her one more week. And let her know that up front.
Send an email to Mimi. She's a realtor and maybe can give you some pointers. - 8:23 PM
- Xenia Kathryn said...
Not very much time at all, I'd say. Ah, good luck with her.
- Caldonia Sun said...
Give her the boot, and quickly. You have too much to lose with an incompetent realtor.
- Mimi said...
As an agent, I say, get someone else.
And, apologies for the entire profession. I'm sorry. - 2:02 PM
- james said...
How do you know anyone buys a house from her? Really. No time at all. Period.
- maria said...
Go go and go! We really liked our realtor, call if you'd like his name.
- Dollymama said...
Well, one thing I am learning more and more in life is to trust my instincts. If I think someone is a flake, I'm almost unfailingly correct. If I had followed my gut earlier this year, I would not be in the business difficulty that I am in right now.
My tendency is to give people too many chances. Now I move along to greener pastures when I see the signs of a bad thing.
I would not give your realtor one more day. Carolyn Wheeler is a personal church friend of ours that we've known for over 15 years. She is in Lex. Maybe you could try her for a new realtor. - 5:51 AM
- elizabeth said...
don't feel guilty about not keeping her! pray for the Lord's mercy to be on her and get someone better!!!
maybe pray to St. Xenia too...she is good for houses, etc. - 6:51 PM

School systems and families sometimes operate from the belief that we are supposed to know everything.
So before exams we memorize material and then forget it as we hand in our paper…
Because we need our A+ and don't want to appear stupid we often are afraid to ask questions and admit that something makes no sense to us.
Remember the "Emperor's New Clothes"? read the story
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas...
So, we think we are supposed to know everything and when we don't we feel:
Make things up (sometimes known as lies…)
Get angry
Block out new information
Talk very loud
Imagine if it were okay to not know…
For a moment – don't worry – only for a moment - pretend you don't know anything! Imagine yourself back at age 3… Your eyes are big and everything strikes you as new – unknown – intriguing…
Imagine that your 3 year old world is totally safe, judgment and bully free. You don't know the names of everything – maybe you make some of them up…
How do all these new things look? Smell? Feel?
If we give up the belief that we have to know everything … sometimes we discover wonders.

Wales earlier in the day edged out Zimbabwe to progress to the semi-final against the Aussies, but just came up short in the dying seconds of the game, losing 22-19.
Tal Selly thought he had scored the winning try, but is was ruled that he was held up and Wales had to wave the good crowd at Outeniqua Park goodbye.
Coach Phil John was a disappointed man afterwards, but refused to blame his players for their 1-4 record.
"We need to do more off the field and take the game more serious. The other teams are getting away from us. I cannot fault the players, they played their socks off. We only had four sessions together before the tournament started and that is not enough if you want to be competitive," he said.
"We could have beaten Portugal and Australia, but t we did not and that is disappointing.
At least we know where we are now and what we need to do in order to improve as the series progress. We did make progress from Dubai a week ago, but we did not achieve what we wanted," he said.
In their opening match against Zimbabwe, poor handling again dogged the Welsh effort in the opening minutes and they were made to pay for their sins when Zimbabwe scored a try after such an error.
A great run by Tom Isaacs then opened up the defence and James Lewis used his pace to score and get Wales in the game. Jason Tovey converted to put Wales 7-5 up.
Another try by Isaacs justified the improved effort by Wales on attack. They managed to string passes together and good running lines saw an much improved effort in that department.
They will still battling with the pace of the Africans though and conceded another try just before the break when they were outpaced on the outside.
Craig Hill had a great run at the restart and fed Rhodri McAtee who scored under the posts. Tovey duly converted and Wales had the momentum on their side.
Dafydd Hewitt forced his way over with defenders on his back and that sealed the game. Tovey converted and Wales were looking at their first win of the tournament.
Zimbabwe did score again and when Chris Davies was yellow carded for off-side play, Zimbabwe scored another, but Wales have done enough and won 26-24.
Wales started like a house on fire against the Aussies. A great run by Lewis resulted in a try to Hewitt and a good conversion by Tovey put his side 7-0 up.
Australia scored after a lapse in concentration on defense by Wales and when McAtee lost the ball in his own 25, the Aussies struck again to take the lead just before the break. Some weak tackling allowed them to sneak their third try and a 15-7 lead as the siren went for half time.
Australia scored soon after the restart to jump into a 22-7 lead before Wales staged a great fight back.
Selly scored and Tovey converted for a 20-14 score line with two minutes to go.
Wales needed one score to win the game and it nearly went to Selley, who chased down a kick by Tovey. Instead, Hewitt scored after a good run, but Tovey rushed his conversion. Selley then made a big dash for glory, but was held up on the line.

Mackenzie Large Igneous Province
Mackenzie Large Igneous Province | |
Map of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province and its sub-features. Blue star marks the approximate focal point for 1,270 magmatic activity.
Country | Canada |
Regions | Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan |
Part of | Canadian Shield |
Area | 2,700,000 km² (1,042,476 sq mi) |
Period | Mesoproterozoic |
The Mackenzie Large Igneous Province (MLIP) is a major Mesoproterozoic large igneous province of southwestern, western and northwestern Canada. It is a group of igneous rocks which were formed during a massive igneous event starting about 1,270 million years ago. The large igneous province extends from the Arctic in Nunavut to near the Great Lakes in northwestern Ontario.
MLIP is one of the largest Proterozoic magmatic provinces on Earth, as well as the world's largest and best-preserved continental flood basalt terrain.[1] This huge area of igneous rock was spewed out in a short time, geologically speaking. The MILP is much larger than other well-preserved large igneous provinces. The standard size classification for large igneous provinces is a minimum of 100,000 km2 (39,000 sq mi). However, the Mackenzie dyke swarm itself occupies an area of at least 2,700,000 km2 (1,000,000 sq mi), making the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province larger than the Ontong Java Plateau in the southwestern Pacific Ocean or the U.S. state of Alaska.[2]
The Mackenzie Large Igneous Province was caused by processes other than normal plate tectonics and seafloor spreading. Igneous rocks of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province are generally mafic in composition, including basalt and gabbro.
Origins[change | change source]
Like most large igneous provinces, the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province was caused by a mantle plume—an upwelling zone of abnormally hot rock within the Earth's mantle. As the head of the Mackenzie plume reached the Earth's lithosphere, it spread out and melted catastrophically to form large volumes of basaltic magma. This resulted in the creation of a stationary volcanic zone west of Victoria Island, called the Mackenzie hotspot.[3]
Coppermine River Group[change | change source]
The Coppermine River Group is a sequence of Mesoproterozoic continental flood basalts forming part of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada. It is one of the largest flood basalt provinces on Earth, covering the area with a volume of approximately 650,000 km3 (155,943 cu mi).[4]
Between 1,200 and 740 million years ago, a series of flood basalt eruptions took place. At the northern portion of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province, vast volumes of basaltic lava paved over a large part of the northwestern Canadian Shield. This constructed a large lava plateau with an area of 170,000 km2 (66,000 sq mi), a volume of lavas of at least 500,000 km3 (120,000 cubic miles).[5]
This extensive area of flood basalt lava flows has been called the Coppermine River flood basalts. With an area of 170,000 km2 (66,000 sq mi) and a volume of 650,000 km3 (120,000 cubic miles), the Coppermine River flood basalt sequence is larger than the Columbia River Basalt Group in the United States. It compares in size to the Deccan Traps in west-central India. This makes the Coppermine River flood basalts one of the largest flood basalt events ever to appear on the North American continent, as well as on Earth. The maximum thickness of the Coppermine River flood basalts is 4.7 km (2.9 mi) and has 150 lava flows, each 4 m (13 ft) to 100 m (330 ft) thick.[6]
The Coppermine River flood basalts occurred shortly after a period of crustal uplift. The uplift then collapsed.[3] This sudden uplift was likely caused by rising magma of the Mackenzie plume, which caused the Mackenzie hotspot. The Coppermine River basalts show over 100 individual lava flows.

Guest Post : Jonathan Janz Lives in a House of Skin!
First of all, I want to thank Hunter for hosting me today. His Forest of Shadows and Evil Eternal are an amazing one-two punch, and if you haven't picked them both up yet, you ought to. Here's what I had to say about Evil Eternal:
Hunter Shea has crafted another knockout. At turns epic and intimate, both savage and elegant, Evil Eternal is a harrowing, blood-soaked nightmare."
Yep, I guess you can tell I'm a fan.
And speaking of books you should buy…
My new novel (my first book was titled THE SORROWS and can be found right here) is called HOUSE OF SKIN. Here's the stunning cover art and a short description of my novel:
"Myles Carver is dead. But his estate, Watermere, lives on, waiting for a new Carver to move in. Myles's wife, Annabel, is dead too, but she is also waiting, lying in her grave in the woods. For nearly half a century she was responsible for a nightmarish reign of terror, and she's not prepared to stop now. She is hungry to live again…and her unsuspecting nephew, Paul, will be the key.
Julia Merrow has a secret almost as dark as Watermere's. But when she and Paul fall in love they think their problems might be over. How can they know what Fate—and Annabel—have in store for them? Who could imagine that what was once a moldering corpse in a forest grave is growing stronger every day, eager to take her rightful place amongst the horrors of Watermere?"
So the character not mentioned in that description is the one I'm going to tell you about today.
Pretty logical, huh?
Sheriff Sam Barlow is one of a long line of well-intentioned lawmen in horror fiction. One of my personal favorites is Stephen King's Alan Pangborn, but there are plenty of them to choose from.
Michael Rooker and Ed Harris both played Alan Pangborn. I figured Rooker deserved the extra publicity.
So what makes my sheriff different?
Well, the structure of my novel, for one thing. Like my debut THE SORROWS, HOUSE OF SKIN has the Gothic structure that I love—where a story in the past affects and ultimately merges with the story in the present. Books like Peter Straub's Ghost Story and George R.R. Martin's Fevre Dream take on an extra resonance because of their use of the frame story and the manner in which those authors use their back-stories to advance their present stories.
HOUSE OF SKIN does that. And Sam Barlow is a central figure in both the past and the present.
In the present he's a grizzled veteran cop who lives alone and does his best not to hate my protagonist Paul Carver, who has the bad luck to look just like the man who ruined Sam Barlow's life. Sam also has a special bond with my "co-protagonist" Julia Merrow, which is explained in the "past" story.
Many of the book's surprises involve Sam and his entanglement with the novel's two main villains, particularly a woman named Annabel. I'll write about Annabel at a later date, but I'll just say now that she's fearsome and beautiful and absolutely evil. Sam is the man who understands this the most, and he's determined to prevent her resurrection.
But Annabel has other plans.
The last thing I'll say about this character before I close is that if HOUSE OF SKIN ever becomes a movie, I've got some thoughts about who should play my sheriff. Josh Brolin would be great if he were older. Assuming the movie gets made in the next five years (I'm pretty certain it will—hah!), Brolin would be too young. But he does have that world-weary look that would work well for Sam. Guys like John C. McGinley (one of the Office Space Bobs) and David Morse (Brutal from The Green Mile) would also be great, but my first choice is the man pictured below…
Ash, Elvis, and…Sam Barlow?
Bruce Campbell would kill this role. Then again, Bruce would probably kill any role, but I think he'd do a particularly wonderful job as my sheriff.
So, Mr. Campbell, if you're reading…my people will call your people soon.
And please don't threaten my people with your prosthetic chainsaw.
Interview with Author Jonathan Janz
Jonathan Janz is new to the horror scene, just like Tim Tebow is to the NFL, only JJ is a hell of a lot better at what he does. Now, I'm not saying we're lifelong buds or neighbors, but from getting to know him over the past 6 months, I'm pretty secure in saying they invented the phrase "he's the salt of the earth" to describe this guy. His debut novel with Samhain Publishing, The Sorrows, is the real deal. Think The Haunting meets the early work of Phil Rickman (and if you have never read a Phil Rickman novel, you can return your Official Horror Fan Membership Card). This book has the iron jaws of a pit bull, except this is one angry dog you'll be happy to cross.
Jonathan was nice enough to answer my sometimes bizarre questions. Here they be, in all their gory…glory.
1.Your debut novel, The Sorrows, is now out through Samhain Publishings new horror line. Tell us a little about your book, you know, something that will compel us to buy it as much as terrify us to sleep with the lights off.
To borrow a question from my favorite horror novel (Peter Straub's Ghost Story), "What's the worst thing you've ever done?" If you're imagining it, I now want you to imagine the face of the person you wronged. Then imagine that face growing dark with rage and pursuing you…even after death. That dread is at the heart of The Sorrows.
The novel is set on an island, and this island (called the Sorrows by its long-dead inhabitants) is haunted by events nearly a century old, as well as a bestial creature that might or might not be a Greek god. If you travel to the island, you better hope your slate is clean because any soul you've ever wronged will find you there…for violent and unholy retribution.
Also, The Sorrows is about two composers (and two female companions) traveling to one of the most haunted places in the world (the island) to find inspiration for a big-budget horror movie being shot by the most demanding director in film.
2.If you were guaranteed to be an overnight sensation writing in another genre, what would it be and why?
Whoa, great question. I think I'd write readable literary fiction. By that, I mean stories that people can actually understand without having to squint at the page for an hour trying to figure out what the hell the author's laboring to say. I think of writers like Cormac McCarthy and Ian McEwan…man, I love those guys, and I've heard them called all sorts of things, but to me they're both deeply literary and fantastically skilled. So I'd like to write stuff that exhibits both those qualities. In fact, I'm already working on a couple of things…
3.OK, you're invited to spend the night in a haunted castle, say Leap Castle in Ireland, with the stipulation that you must be alone and have no source of light. Do you go? If you do, what do you expect to happen?
Truth? Or something that will make me sound manly and virile? The truth is, I'd never spend a night away from my kids (I've got three of them under the age of six) because I'd miss them and worry about them.
But let's say, for the fun of it, that I'm ten years older, and my wife and kids and I are vacationing in Ireland. Some guy says, "Hey, Lad, I'll put a thousand bucks each in your children's college funds if you spend the night alone at Leap Castle." I'd do it then, and I'd spend the rest of the night scared out of my mind imagining all sorts of things.
Do I think I'd really see something? Other than the puddle of urine pooling around my feet? I don't know, and that's what makes the prospect of spending the night in a place like that so frightening. I might see nothing, though my imagination would conjure all sorts of awful things. I might also see something real, which is truly terrifying.
4.For the aspiring writers out there, can you describe your road to publication? Also, do you have an agent and how did you connect with him or her?
My road was very Beatlesesque—long and winding. I've been rejected so many times I've come to tense my stomach muscles like Houdini every time I open my inbox because a gut punch is always on the way. That sounds cynical, but it's the truth. You've got to be determined, you've got to accept that you don't know everything, and you've got to have enough stubbornness and confidence to stay with something that most days brings you nothing but negative feedback. And silence.
I don't have an agent at the moment, though I'm about to start shopping again. I once had one, but that's a long, dull story that I'll spare you for today. Having said that, I fully believe an agent is necessary to maximize a writer's success, and I'd very much like to find one. The key, though, is compatibility. She/he has to like your work, and you have to have faith in her/his abilities. So yes, I do want an agent and believe I'll get one when the time is right.
5. Quick, in 30 words or less, describe your current work in progress.
What if the two traditional depictions of vampires—the romantic, haunted loner, and the monstrous, insatiable beast—were only phases in the transformation into something far more terrible? And infinitely more powerful?
That was thirty-two words, and you still don't know the title (Loving Demons), or who my protagonist is (Ellie Crane) or how her husband Chris becomes obsessed with a beautiful woman who lives in the forest where he and Ellie move, or how Ellie conceives a child but soon learns she can't leave because the forest and the spirits that live there won't let her leave, or how a demonic cult once sacrificed—
Okay, I cheated a little, but that's a start. (Hunter : Dude, you cheated a little??)
6.What is your favorite horror movie and novel? Aaaaand, whenyou were a kid, what was your all time favorite cartoon?
Movie: Jaws or The Exorcist. The former is better-made, but the latter is scarier.
Novel: Peter Straub's Ghost Story. The gothic structure of that book changed my writing forever, even though I didn't even try to write until five years after I read the book.
Cartoon: Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry. No wonder my stories are so violent!
7.Last one. Whats the weirdest thing you've ever written and did you ever let it see the light of day?
The weirdest thing is probably a novel called Blood Country that I actually reference in my debut novel The Sorrows. It's a bizarre hybrid of a crime novel a la Elmore Leonard and a bloody horror novel by someone like Richard Laymon. Actually, it's far bloodier than most of even Laymon's stuff, so I guess the title is apt.
I did indeed let it see the light of day about three years ago when I finished it and began querying agents about it. The responses went something like this: "I really like your writing, and there's no doubt you can do suspense very well. And I know I stated in my guidelines that I wanted dark. But…well…not this dark."
I plan on reworking it after my next three novels are done (the aforementioned Loving Demons, another I'm about eighty-percent done with called Native, and the novel I'm going to write this coming summer). Blood Country is weird, dark, and disturbing. But I like it, and I think readers will, too, once I get it right.
Thank you so much, Hunter, for having me on your blog and for asking such awesome questions. Forest of Shadows was OUTSTANDING, and I'm proud to be published alongside you!
