This may sound crazy, but for years there has been a group of
How this situation has arisen dates back to the expensive battle for Coles. The partially protected shares, known as WESNs, were the clincher for Wesfarmers' $20 billion bid to trump private equity giant TPG that was offering Coles shareholders a cold, hard cash premium.
The design of the highly unusual WESNs was intended to assure Coles' large retail investor base that it would not lose money from the takeover by issuing bonus shares if the Wesfarmers equity were to fall below $43.11 at a conversion date.
2009 share market plunge created opportunity
In the dizzy days of 2007, it didn't seem like Wesfarmers was giving away much at all but the subsequent plunge in the sharemarket – the stock flirted with $15 in early 2009 – meant there was some real value in those bonus shares, and hedge funds in Australia and offshore duly took note.
But how much extra were they worth? Traders focused on whether the market was accurately valuing the protection or bonus share entitlement provided to WESN holders that was implied by the difference in the price of the WES and the WESNs.
This effectively created a new class of investment in Wesfarmers – the spread between the common and preferred shares – and millions of dollars have since been made and lost on the trade in recent years. Traders compared the spread and valued it as a "put option", which a holder can buy to provide an option to sell a share at a predetermined price.
Hedge funds generally took the view that the protection was undervalued and that the WESNs should trade at a larger premium to the ordinary WES shares. They enthusiastically made this bet by going long with the WESNs and shorting the ordinary shares.
If the final conversion date of November 2015 arrived and the stock still traded below $43.11, WESN holders would earn a profit of about $5 and $8.62 per share depending on where the stock traded as the date approached.
But WESN holders wouldn't get a cent extra if the stock went beyond $43.11 and stayed there. The securities were designed to make sure the original Coles shareholders didn't lose capital and at that price they had not, so there was no reason to give away compensation. A one-to-one conversion of WESNs into WES would therefore take effect.
An early end to trade threatens
The fast and fierce bull market run that has lifted Wesfarmers' stock is now threatening to spoil the show and put an early end to the trade.
One of the trigger conditions is that the WESN notes will automatically convert to ordinary common shares, with no bonus shares issued, if the Wesfarmers 20-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) hits $43.11.
With the share price approaching $43.11, that trigger has become a possibility for the first time in years – the WESN premium has narrowed to almost nothing, its lowest level in a long time on the increased likelihood of a one-to-one conversion into ordinary shares.
That is encouraging news for Wesfarmers. The removal of this side-cart stock, which has arguably added volatility to the ordinary share price and threatened to result in more dilutive stock issuance, would be welcomed and senior management who are no doubt willing the stock higher.
As luck would have it, the company is now in the market buying its own shares – at an average of 250,000 a day. Wesfarmers is in the thick of its dividend reinvestment program and is snapping up its ordinary shares to reduce the impact of investors who are forging their dividend for new stock.
The dividend reinvestment program (DRP) has proceeded as normal and is not related to the trigger being in sight.
The DRP is due to conclude in the middle of next week, well before the 20-day VWAP knockout level could be achieved and buying volume has not been enough to move the dial. But there have been some suggestions there may be a theoretical conflict for a company to influence the stock price so that it adversely affects a certain class of shareholder.
What is clear is that many hedge funds that hold the WESNs are willing the Wesfarmers stock lower as they are positioned to make good money if the spread widens.
And with the differential at the lowest it has been in some time, more are piling into the trade on the expectation it will widen.
Hopes for the market to run out of steam
But if the stock keeps going up, the trigger would close out the trade with no gain – not the result the hedge funds are after.
For these traders, the hope is that the bull market runs out of steam or that the ACCC follows up its posturing by formally launching an investigation into the dominance of Coles and Woolworths.
And if all that wasn't enough for the most keenly watched trade in the market, the WESNs could get a timely boost by being added to a large global index as a large Vanguard Index Fund is set to switch its holding from WES to WESN as it changes index trackers.
All this should make for some interesting price action in the stock price of a company that has paid in more ways than one for its pyrrhic victory over private equity.

Ladies Hospital Aid Society's gala honors Starzl, others
"I'm overwhelmed not at the response of you all coming tonight, but of the longstanding relationships that have been built," Ladies Hospital Aid Society executive director Dee Dee Troutman said to a packed ballroom at the Omni William Penn.
An Evening of Enchantment represented 115 years of storied history that began in 1898 when 17 intrepid women joined forces as the Hebrew Ladies Hospital Aid Society with the simple goal of addressing the needs of the sick and poor living in their neighborhoods.
Fast-forward to Oct. 26, where 350 tireless supporters were on hand with LHAS prexy Carole (with Dan) Kamin, Lisa andJoe Gaydos, Ruby andDr. Jim Kang, Laura Penrod Kronk andClaude Kronk, UPMC Mercy prez Will andSarah Cook, Dr. Jenny Ziembicki, medical director of the UPMC Mercy Burn Center, with husband Daniel Proch, Judy andRon Linaburg, Athena Sarris, Jayme Burke, Sandy Bettor, Maggie andTom Hacke, Mary Ellen andAllan Wampler, and Dolly andJack Warwick to support the LHAS Enchanted Forest at UPMC Mercy Trauma and Burn Center — one of only 10 burn centers in the country that cares for pediatric patients.
From an ambiance perspective, this group is known for its endless parade of gorgeous head-turners, and this year's scene lived up to all expectations. Hats off to Hens and Chicks for putting a jaw-dropping stamp on the florals that punctuated the enchanted forest vibe.
As a matter of course, glasses in the air to recognize some of Pittsburgh's finest, including honorary chair Dr. Andrew (with Debra) Peitzman, Innovation Awardees Dr. Alain Corcos and Dr. Jorg Gerlach and Distinguished Medical Educator Dr. Art Levine (accepted by Dr. Loren Roth). The Visionary Legacy Award was given posthumously to Dr. Charles Copeland and accepted by his wife, Margaret, and children, Scott Copeland and Melissa Parrucci, and the 2013 Doctor of Distinction was awarded to Dr.Thomas (with Joy) Starzl.
"I must confess that I haven't practiced medicine in the last 23 years, so thanks for the rejuvenation," Starzl quipped.
After a delicious spread served by the white-gloves of the ever-attentive hotel staff, the unmistakable sound of Gary Racan and the studio-e band were luring guests back into the Urban Room for a lounge-inspired respite from business as usual.
"This evening, the dreams become a reality," said Judy (with John) Woffington, gala co-chairwoman along with Beverly (with Dr. Dane) Wukich.

On Sad Ass Dudes Who Publish Serious Op-Eds Against Cunnilingus
Ah, cunnilingus, the great divider of the boys from the men within the heterosexual world! These boys look like men. They sound like men. They might even have 401Ks and good relationships with their mothers.
But, they are also the ones who think that sex works like it does in blockbuster movies, wherein women are always primed for penetration, and have screaming orgasms after a couple thrusts in missionary. They are also the ones who try to skull fuck you, while not being able to pick your vagina out of a lineup. They think that going down on a girl is like accidentally ordering a whole fish at a Chinese restaurant, but that sucking dick is like eating a lollipop from the Cracker Barrel gift shop. And thanks to horrific male rights activists sites, these boys found a place to publish their manifesto on the deadly risks of going down on women.
Noah Gulliver is a walking male tear who writes for EveryJoe.com, a website touting itself as "the ultimate boys club with…an inability to look away from car crashes, an affection for hot women, and a diehard patriotism for its favorite sports teams." Trending articles at the top of their site have headlines like "These Porn Stars Look Hideous Without Makeup," next to images of women who have red Microsoft Paint dots splattered on their cheeks, and a filter swirling their faces so one eye is bigger and her smile is crooked—you know the typical things women can definitely hide with a little makeup. I know I'm always trying to hide my one big eye.
Because I can already see the feverish fingers typing away in the comments "Only an evil troll feminist social justice warrior would go on an MRA site to look for things to get mad about. I thought women could only use the internet for finding recipes!,"– let me say that first of all, this article was recommended to me on Facebook by whatever unintuitive algorithms are running things around there, meaning that this woman-hating garbage is seeping into the minds of the less discerning via social media. Secondly, I'm sick of hearing from men that this kind of anti-female vitriol doesn't really exist. And third, because we feminists deserve a good laugh, and this is a knee-slapper.
The most scientific and reasonable on Gulliver's "9 Reasons Why a Man Should Never Go Down on a Woman," is that men can orally contract HPV from cunnilingus, which can lead to throat cancer. Thanks to Michael Douglas alleging that he got cancer from slurping puss like he's at an oyster bar, this is vaguely verifiable. What Gulliver omits is that men are hugely responsible for the spread of HPV in our dangerous vaginas in the first place, because thanks to our patriarchally influenced healthcare system, the CDC doesn't recommend penile Pap tests, which are the only way to test men for HPV.
Moving on, Gulliver also thinks that if you go down on a woman you will get AIDS, and die. He thinks that you can also get an oral yeast infection, and die. He also thinks that because of the proximity of the vagina to the anus, you can get cholera, and die. (While he mentions nothing of the median distance between genital and asshole in men being shockingly similar.) And that rounds out the disease portion of his argument, so he can save some of the lines items for the real grim ideas.
He goes on to tackle mother nature's role in all of this, explaining that clitoral stimulation is unnatural, because if a vagina was supposed to receive that much pleasure, the clitoris would have developed inside the vagina. He concludes that if you do give a woman clitoral stimulation, she will never want your dick again, because we straight women must be conned into fucking men.
Then he devolves into sheer sexist hell fire, asserting that men only go down on women to keep them from straying? Then this sentence happens, "If a woman falls in love with your tongue, it's only a matter of time before she falls out of love with you." Trust me, Gulliver, it's very hard to find men who know how to give good head. We woman folk, when we're not baking razor blades into pies, knitting beanies for koalas or deep within a Grey's Anatomy chat room, know how to hold on to a man who goes down like a champ.
We'll gloss over the part where he states that a man "getting on his knees" tarnishes his ability to be the dominant one in the relationship, because I can't tackle antiquated heteronormative gender roles right now. Instead let's get to my two favorite highlights for the sheer acrobatics in absurdity. Poor Gulliver thinks that the vagina is made from a cross between a sea sponge and a magic eraser, and thus soaks up all the sperm that is ever ejaculated into it—so he warns men that cunnilingus must surely be equated to drinking goblets of splooge.
Last but not least, and bless him for his ability to get from A to Y with the ease of a toddler learning the alphabet, he asserts that only a woman possesses the sacred knowledge of pleasuring the vagina, no matter how much some poor guy goes down with gusto. "Thus, if a woman truly loves oral sex she will end up in the arms of a lesbian. Think of cunnilingus as being comparable to marijuana and lesbianism being comparable to hardcore drugs such as heroin and crack. This gateway is to be avoided." If we ignore the fact that he's equating a whole sexuality with one singular sexual act, we can skip right to the part where he pretty much is suggesting that women are so overwhelmingly ruled by the desire to have someone tongue their snatch that they will become a lesbian for that reason alone. It's like he's been reading the bible or something.
In the end, maybe we should be thankful to Gulliver for making it easier to spot a boy from a man. Now when a boy shouts, "Ew, cholera!" when you ask him to go down, you can coyly say, "Oh, I love EveryJoe! Their work on women who have better butts than Kim Kardashian was inspirational!" And then leave a used tampon in their mailbox, as you exit the property to go find a man. A man who is not afraid to eat pussy. A man who thinks that oral sex should be separate but equal, except for the times when it is simultaneous and equal. A man who does not wince at things like "smell" and "taste," because he recognizes that women are not Disney witches walking around with rotten fruit between our legs just waiting to lure an honorable prince to their death via oral sex.

Andrew Frankl's "Letter From Europe" June 2010 - VIDEO ENHANCED
Apple iPad, MINI Cooper S, Maserati, Ferrari and More
By Andrew Frankl
European Bureau Chief
After 14 years of working for The Auto Channel intially on typewriters (!), old Toshibas and early Macs, the time has come to send you my very first report on Apple's new iPad. It is very, very exciting. I wasn't too sure about it but after a day I was sold. Sitting at Milan Airport and playing scrabble, reading newspapers, it is amzing. Mind you, having a great bunch of people at Apple's Corte Madera branch makes all the difference. They went to a great deal of trouble to get me the little camera connecting gizmo at a time when these simply were not available. Unfortunately, Apple's PR department is as bad as Corte Madera is good; their idea of PR is to look after David Pogue of the NY Times and that's all. Pity.
"Anyway," I hear you say, "never mind about your iPad, what about the cars?" Well, while still in California I had a chance to drive two great British cars, the Mini Cooper S and the latest, singing, dancing Range Rover. The Mini was a bundle of energy. Much, much better built than the ones 50 years ago, and under BMW's guidance it's become a world-wide success. I still find the engine more rough than ready and some quirks remain, however. The silliest thing is the key, which has to be inserted horizontally into a dark hole. Why?
The MINI's fuel consumption worked out at 29.5 miles per gallon, respectable but a long way from my wife's Prius at 44.9. On the other hand the Mini's build quality is far superior. The price is a pretty frightening $30,000; which I am sure you could negotiate down by dropping something called the "Mayfair Package."
The supercharged Range Rover is the top of the Land Rover tree; it's the King of SUVs. It really is equally at home in Aspen as it is outside the San Francisco Yacht Club. We took a quick trip up Mount Tam and it had such presence that even the mountain lions left after taking a look. London's Chelsea is also full of them - a sign that unlike lesser SUVs the Range Rover is here to stay. Soon it was time to say good-bye and head for San Francisco's International Airport. The Gods and the captain of Virgin's 747 were with us as he successfully managed to circumnavigate the Icelandic clouds. Then further miracles, the Captain of the British Airways flight to Bologna managed to do the same thing.
Meeting old friend Sergio and his 525 BMW was no miracle - he has been looking after us for years. We had a quick trip to Maserati's HQ in Modena to be greeted by the truly delightful Claudia whose smile makes the Mona Lisa look like a non-starter. Her boss, Andrea Cittadini wasn't quite so thrilled when he saw the amount of luggage we had with us. What he didn't know was our secret pre-trip recce of the GrandCabrio in San Francisco with the help of local boss Alex Lawson. He very kindly came round to Belvedere where we road-tested the back seats(!) with suitcases. So we knew these would fit.
Claudia very kindly got two huge blankets to cover the pristine leather and we were off. I did the first stretch, daughter and fellow MPG member Annabelle did the second stint with the tunnels. Three and a half hours later we were greeted by the one and only Raymond Viano outside the Meridien Beach Plaza, our traditional home during the Grand Prix.
A couple of words about the car. First of all let me say that this is a highly biased report, I loved it and would be happy to have it tomorrow. Regular readers know that I don't often say this.
Click PLAY to watch video
We drove with all the suitcases on the back seats and with the top down. It was sensational. The navigational system - for a long time Maserati's weakest link - was simply superb. The voice was reassuring, only spoke when it was necessary and didn't get hysterical when we took the wrong turn. As for the styling, well, let me tell you a true story. During the Grand Prix weekend - and obviously not when the race is on - only certain cars can be parked outside the Casino. The man in charge, Monsiuer Jean Paul is the decider. He does know his cars. Porsches and 90% of Mercs are sent to the nearest underground garage; 348 Ferraris ditto. He took one look at the GranCabrio and asked us to leave it just by the main entrance. The scene was a bit like the Vanity Fair Oscar's after party with flashing cameras everywhere. A very happy scene indeed. Prince Albert very kindly invited us to his annual cocktail party in the Palace where the policemen in white gloves (!) immediately found a place for the Maser.
Then it was time to leave for Modena. Did we do a full road test? No. Any more than potential customers would. It is not a racing car, not a Ferrari Scuderia or a Murcielago. Having said that we were soon driving Ferrari's new 458 and Lamborghini's Gallardo Balboni, a tweaked special in honor of their legendary test driver. In fact, we were very lucky to get into the Ferrari at all, a hapless journalist wrote of the other 50% of the test fleet leaving the hard-working Press Department with thousands of requests and just one car! We took it rather quickly and headed for the Ceramics Museum in Castello de Spezzano.
Hearing Ferraris going round the test track while taking pictures in a 12th century castle was a pretty amazing juxtaposition. All this happened thanks to our good friends at Piemme Ceramics. They went to a great deal of trouble to get the cars into the court yard for the photo shoot. They also very kindly treated us to the excellent lunch during which their charismatic chairman asked for a decent bottle of wine claiming quite rightly that Lambrusco was Italy's answer to Coca-Cola. How very true. Tourists who visit Maranello by the thousands all duly drink it at local tourist traps where they are told that it was Enzo Ferrari's favourite drink. If it was, then he had better taste in cars than in wine!
Regarding the 458 and the Lambo, I must come clean and express a preference for the Ferrari. It is astonishingly quick yet truly easy to drive. When the cabrio comes next year I am sure there will be an order book a mile long. The interior does take a bit of figuring out. It is, to use a good scrabble word, quirky.(66 on a triple.)
The Lambo is a bit too much car for me. Yes, of course I can drive it but it is a bit twitchy... what the French call "nervous." Certainly looks great and goes like smoke. The 458 looks a lot better in real life: the pictures don't do it justice. But at the end of the day for me it was the new Maserati that I look back upon with a huge smile on my face. On the Monday after the race I took it through the tunnel in Monaco. In sports mode. Alone. With the top down. If there is automotive heaven this was it.

THE government has announced a £1.9million jobs boost for the partners of servicemen and women based on Salisbury Plain .
Defra Minister, Richard Benyon, visited Ludgershall on Wednesday to announce funding that he hopes will see 200 jobs created.
The money will also be used to support 450 local businesses after Wiltshire was selected as one of five regions to receive a Rural Growth Network grant.
It will tackle problems such as lack of business opportunities for military wives and husbands in the garrison towns of Ludgershall, Tidworth, Amesbury, Bulford and Durrington. Mr Benyon said: "It should be as easy to run successful businesses in a rural area as in a town, but in the past problems like a lack of work premises and poor access to skills training have held rural entrepreneurs back, and it's often harder still if your partner is in the army.
"This project will tackle these barriers to economic growth, giving spouses of serving military personnel and those leaving the forces more job opportunities and the support and workspace they need to set up their own businesses."
Mr Benyon visited the Castledown Business Centre in Ludgershall, which will be transformed by the Rural Growth Network into 40 new work premises where entrepreneurs will have space to start companies, and jobs will be created as local businesses get the support they need.
He also met students from Wellington Academy's applied learning centre where Defra invested £93,750 to provide vocational learning for young people planning technical careers.
Wiltshire Council cabinet member for economy, Fleur de Rhe-Philipe said: "Supporting the rural economy is a priority for Wiltshire Council and its partners, and we welcome this initiative which sends a strong signal that we want to make Wiltshire a business location of choice.
"We hope this will help build confidence in the local economy at a crucial time."

Dirt: GaGa Says Madonna's Cool With Her Biting "Express Yourself"
LADY GAGA SAYS MADONNA IS COOL WITH 'BORN THIS WAY': LADY GAGA has responded to the accusations that her new song rips off MADONNA'S "Express Yourself". Last night she told JAY LENO she heard from Madonna and Madonna is cool with it.
Quote, "Well, the good news is that I got an e-mail from her people and her, sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single and if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be."
Madonna has yet to comment on this publicly so we'll just have to take GaGa's word for it. (–At the Grammys Sunday night, Lady Gaga thanked WHITNEY HOUSTON not Madonna for inspiring "Born This Way".)
HOW SOON IS TOO SOON FOR A TAT???!!!: EVA LONGORIA won't admit she's dating PENELOPE CRUZ'S little brother EDUARDO, but that hasn't seemed to stop Eduardo from getting Eva's name tattooed on his arm …
But if you believe MARIO LOPEZ has inside information via his close pal … then Eduardo, sadly, may be taking the relationship way more seriously than Eva. Here's what Mario said yesterday on "The Wendy Williams Show" : "Well…boyfriend is a strong word. I think my girl Eva is just kind of having fun and a good time." To which Williams responded, "Cheers to drive-bys." … "Nice!" was Lopez' retort. "Look she's having a good time. She's 35, he's 25 and it's all good,"

CHARLIE'S SHEEN-ANIGANS: CHARLIE SHEEN phoned in to the syndicated Dan Patrick radio show on ESPN yesterday and I'm willing to bet his bosses at "Two and a Half Men" can't be too happy about it, because he kinda threw them under the bus.
Charlie's voice was a little hoarse – and he explained why – quote, "I went back to work and was banging on the stage door, 'Hello, where is everybody?' I don't know what happened, I guess they're closed. Nobody told me…
"They said get your act together and I did, and I think maybe it's a timing thing, they didn't think it was going to happen this fast."
He then added rather ominously, quote, "I heal really quickly, but I also unravel really quickly, so get me right now, guys. Get. Me. Right. Now."

LOHAN LUNACY: LINDSAY LOHAN has won a minor legal victory — she won't have to appear before the L.A. judge who threatened her with jail before her last go-round in rehab. Before all the grand larceny brouhaha, Lindsay was due in front of Judge Elden Fox for a probation update next week.
But now her probation will be handled by the judge in the larceny case. And her lawyers figure that since they see holes in the D.A.'s case, THAT judge is less likely to find Lindsay violated the terms of her parole.
SHOW US YOUR TWEETS: Based on her Tweet, either JESSICA SIMPSON is pregnant, or she got her freak on last night …
CELEBRITY SPLITSVILLE: Are ASHLEE SIMPSON and PETE WENTZ reconciling???!!!After all, the couple was seen having lunch together along with baby Bronx at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Valentine's Day. Sounds promising, right?
Well, I am saddend to report a "People" magazine source tells them they are indeed NOT reconciling. "They just had a meal together with their son," the source says. "They're both focused on making this transition as easy as possible for (Bronx)."

Thanks, Jazakullah, Shukrya, Shukran....
As I watch my friends around me have children I'm amazed with how much work and energy it requires. I am amazed that my parents oceans apart from their own parents raised us all by themselves. No advice from the "older and wiser" they had to do what they had to as brand new parents and in a new culture that they were learning along with us. Good parents are an amazing and special breed... Last week one of our friends came over for a party. Their son ran up to me smiling "salaam alaikum auntie aisha". It was so sweet and it reminded me of my own parents and how all they had to do was look at me, much like his mom did, and I knew I had to do. As my parents very well know, I can easily list a string of all my gripes, but they've heard those enough... and really all the gripes I have resulted from their love, and worrying as they faced a culture they perhaps didn't understand... I can't say with certainty that I wouldn't have done the same things.... So I wanted to say thanks....
Thank you for teaching me urdu and punjabi, and pretending you couldn't understand us when we tested you by talking in English. By the way, I really did think you couldn't understand us...surely it would have been easier to give in and speak English all the time. But you didn't and thereby gave us a precious gift of bilinguilism... Thank you for not letting me watch cartoons in my formative years but letting me watch all the Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow I could stand and letting me read all the books I could find, and for reading to me every night before I went to sleep... I read so many of those stories to my students... and I used creative lisence like you did too... Thanks for never ending supplies of crayons, scissors, and glue. For making me feel that I truly was the most special girl you ever came across...elementary school was the hardest time of my life emotionally speaking... but having a warm home where I knew I was loved and was special is what saved me....For humoring me by wrapping up the cardboard boxes so I could play imagination. For sitting patiently as I serenaded you with songs I came up with, and watched skits we performed, and letting us help with chores even if we broke more dishes than we washed... For starting Islamic School in the back porch... and for making Eid so special by decorating the house with lights, for exchanging gifts, and making us never feel as though we were missing out on anything. There's a song called Butterfly Kisses where the parent says "Oh with all that I've done I must have done something right to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night." For all the times I've slammed my door growing up and we've argued and fought... for all that you did wrong, you did much much more right. I hope when the day comes, I will be able to follow in your formidable footsteps.

A person can never estimate love of his parents till he becomes one !. There is only one "unconditional" love in this world and that is of parents.

And those who get and then appreciate this unconditional love are very lucky. Btw God's love is also unconditional.

Aww! I'm glad that this post meant something to you! Parents are such a special breed. It's a cruel twist that we usually don't understand the extent of their love until we have our own kids who likewise don't understand:). I dont have kids yet, so i can't imagine how much more I will respect their work once I do.

- Saadia said...
That's an interesting way to look at it - that they faced a new culture all on their own. Although for some parents I wonder if they could have learned a little bit more in the 20 or so years they spent raising kids, instead of just blaming their culture - i mean try to read some child rearing books. But its true our parents put a gigantic effort out to do their best. great post.

It's true Saadia.. ofcourse they could do better in so many ways... but it was hard.. for better or worse.

Event Information
Jensen will team up with BBP Horticulture Supervisor Rashid Poulson to lead a collection-building walk along BBP's East River shoreline. The walk will begin and end at 99 Plymouth in the Main Street section of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where The Wonder Under is currently on view. Along the way, the group will assemble a collection of objects, flora and artifacts found in the park and along the shore. Throughout the walk, Jensen will discuss his site-specific artistic practice and how he uses collection-building, walking and photography to create works about place. The walk will pause at certain points where Poulson will discuss what is growing and the decisions behind the planting selection. After building a collection, the group will return to 99 Plymouth where they will arrange the objects and Jensen will photograph them. He will then assemble the photographs into a digital art book that participants will receive by email.

A STOURBRIDGE woman will be taking part in next year's London marathon as she embarks on a fundraising mission for Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
Lucy Dawkins wants to show her gratitude to the crew that saved her life after she was involved in a motorway smash last year.
The 23-year-old was travelling in her Ford Fiesta on the M42 southbound when it is believed her car aquaplaned on surface water.
Her car collided with the hard shoulder barrier before rebounding into the central reservation.
Ms Dawkins, who was just five weeks into her new job as a PE teacher at Haybridge High School, Hagley, sustained serious head injuries, including a fractured skull and laceration to the back of the head.
The M42 was closed for several hours in both directions to allow the rescue operation to take place and to allow the helicopter to land on the motorway and fly her to the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire.
Ms Dawkins said: "I have no recollection of the incident. I just remember that I was driving and that the weather conditions were really bad. I must have just lost control on surface water. The next thing I know, I'm in intensive care."
Months later, Ms Dawkins, who is a keen hockey player, has gone on to make a full recovery and recently paid a visit to the crew that rescued her.
She said: "I'm normally a very active person, so it's been really frustrating not being able to do much since the incident. But thankfully, I'm on the mend and can't wait to get back to living my normal life.
"I'm just so grateful to the crew for coming to rescue me. If it wasn't for their quick response and for public donations, I might not be here today.
"Nobody ever knows when they might need the services of an air ambulance, and it's so important that people support the team and help them continue their lifesaving work."
The incident was just one of 333 road traffic collisions that crews were called out to in 2013.
Each rescue mission costs approximately £1,700, which is funded entirely through public donations and corporate sponsorships.
Ms Dawkins now plans to raise valuable funds for the service, she said: "I am planning to run the London Marathon in 2015 and organise other fund raising events for them."

We are traveling on the Splendor out of LA in July 2009 and plan on a balcony room -- what deck is the best and what location for rooms should I look for - first timer here
Welcome aj7220 This one is hard because I love the highest deck I can get and middle of the ship. I also love getting a cabin in back facing out (would that be an aft cabin?) Everyone has a favorite spot and it may not be what I like. Do you like being up high? If your out in the ocean for a few days the middle might be nice and a little smoother. So that is my vote.
Hi aj, Welcome to Cruise-Chat!
I personally like the middle of the ship too. Mostly for the convenience. Some people swear by the aft balcony cabins though.
Yeah, I think I would like those aft balconies. I'd love to see the wake behind the ship. That's my favorite spot...the aft of the ship. I could sit there all day and watch.
On Glory, my favorite deck is the Verandah. I always ask to be as close to the main elevators as possible. That way, I am one stair flight to the Lido deck with all the food. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Verandah is my favorite deck on the Glory as well. I try to get one near the mid-ship elevators and stairs. One deck up and you have food and coffee, or the Lido Bar. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...on_biggrin.gif
I look at where they put those expensive suites and figure they will be at the best deck for the most comfortable cruise. I pick one next to them...works everytime...lol
We had cabin 1116 (Spa Balcony) and loved it...and I am not even a Spa person....
My favorite so far was the Lido Deck...just a few steps from everything...the pool, the bar, breakfast, the other pool, the other bar, lunch.. http://bestsmileys.com/happy/7.gif
I agree with most, the Mid-Ship definately and either verandah or panarama deck.
Hi Cruzlover, and Welcome to Cruise-Chat!

Davis Cup team named to represent The Bahamas
Guardian Sports Reporter
Published: May 24, 2013
A four-member team selected to play at the next Davis Cup Tie for The Bahamas will have their work cut out for them, as they try to elevate the country into the Americas Group II.
Devin Mullings, Jamaal Adderley, Timothy Neilly and Marvin Rolle, with John Farrington as team captain, will represent the country at the next tie. The quartet was ratified by the executive members in the governing body for the sport here in The Bahamas, the Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA), after consultation with Farrington. The next Davis Cup Tie will be played June 17-22, at the Club de Tennis in La Paz, Bolivia.
The Bahamas is among nine nations that will vie for the top two spots. Other countries competing will be Bermuda, host country Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama and Paraguay. The nine countries will play in a round-robin format with top nation in each pool moving on to the playoffs. The two best countries will then be promoted to the Americas Zone Group II for 2014.
"The Bahamas stands a great chance, looking at the players selected to compete in the Davis Cup Tie," said secretary general in the BLTA, Ricardo Demeritte. "The team was picked by the coach and ratified by the BLTA board a few days ago. Two of the players, Jamaal Adderley and Timothy Neilly, have stepped up and are really dominating. They are showing promise to being selected the number one and number two players."
They are both coming off injuries and are playing exceptionally well, this according to Farrington.
"This is a positive sign for the team and the players who are now training privately for the tie. This is a strong team and the remarkable thing about it is we can pair any two together and they can dominate in doubles as well as singles."
The BLTA invited six of the top players out to a week-long training camp, held last month. Joining the quartet were Philip Major Jr. and Kevin Major Jr. All six players also competed in the first Giorgio Baldacci Christmas Invitational, held in December. Mullings came out victorious in the event. He, along with Neilly, will continue training at their private academies in the United States of America (USA) while Rolle and Adderley are training together. Demeritte said it is very unlikely that the players will get together before the tie, but the executive members are trying their best to host another training session ahead of the tie.
The BLTA has also released the names of the six female athletes invited to a week-long training session, ahead of the Fed Cup Tie, set to take place July 17-20 in Santa Tecia, El Salvador. Other teams playing in the Americas Group II Tie are Bolivia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, host country El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay.
Invitations were extended to Larikah Russell, Nikkita Fountain, Kerrie Cartwright, Danielle Thompson, Simone Pratt and Chelsi Russell. The tentative start for the training session is June 17. The venue and captain will be announced at a later date.
In other tennis news, Nagid Walle won the under-16 boys' title at the Brajaxba Age Group Tournament held over the holiday weekend. Walle defeated Mitchell Blacquiere. Winning the mini-tennis Group I final was Ben Dupuch, and Jordan Chetham won the Group II final. Vandera Knowles took the Group III title. Emma Weech defeated Isha Raman for the girls' 10s title, and Daniel Clivio won over Angelo Wise in the boys' division. The under-14 titles for boys and girls were collected by Jacobi Bain and Mandisa Walle.

Colorado Youth Selected to Light 2012 Capitol Christmas Tree
Out of 1,381 entries from across Colorado, the White River National Forest and its nonprofit partner, Choose Outdoors, are pleased to announce Ryan Shuster as the winner of the contest to light the 2012 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C.
On October 19, Santa & Mrs. Claus visited the Blanco Ranger District Office of the White River National Forest. It was during this visit that Santa randomly drew Ryan's entry.
Seventeen-year old Ryan Shuster is a senior at Discovery Canyon Campus in Colorado Springs. Besides his love of the outdoors, Ryan was a finalist in the El Paso County science fair in 2006 and earned a number of awards in piano and music theory starting in 2007. In 2010 Ryan earned the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America and was selected for the Colorado High School State choir in 2011. Ryan's interests include theater, music and nature which are likely to be included in his field study for college in the coming year.
Ryan said, "It is an honor to be selected as the student lighting the 2012 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. On behalf of all of the students who participated in the ornament submission program, I want to thank the White River National Forest and Choose Outdoors for this exciting opportunity."
All youth ages 5-19 who submitted ornaments for the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree were eligible to enter a drawing to win a trip to the nation's capital to light the tree with Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner at the lighting ceremony in early December.
Ryan will travel to Washington, D.C. with his parents for the honor of flipping the switch to officially light the 2012 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree in early December.

A very tasty dish. I made it for me and my kids and we loved it! I would definitly suggest this.
Way to sweet for me. It was liked by the kids, but the grown-ups just said it wasz okay. I wouldn't make it again.
My husband loved this! It was easy and tasted very different. It was WAY to spicy for me, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was supposed to be. Thanks!
I knew by looking at the ingredient list that this would be too sweet for us as written so I substituted a can of pinto beans for one of the cans of baked beans and it still ended up too sweet f...

Investigators believe they are looking for a single robber, a man with a reddish beard, who hit five gas stations around San Diego earlier this month, police said Thursday.
Surveillance camera photos taken at Arco stations in Kearny Mesa and Grantville show a tall man of medium build, wearing a sweatshirt hood over his head and sunglasses at night.
The series began March 10 when the man, armed with a black pistol, robbed an Arco gas station store on Murphy Canyon Road in Kearny Mesa. On March 11, the same man held up an Arco station on Mission Gorge Road in Grantville at 7:15 p.m., and another Arco on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard at 10 p.m. In that last case, a customer interrupted the holdup and the robber waited until the person left before continuing to demand money.
He struck a United Oil gas station on Governor Drive in University City about 10:30 p.m. March 12. The next night, he was nearly caught when he robbed a Shell station on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard in Kearny Mesa. Police said the clerk chased down the man and wrestled with him, but the robber dropped his pistol and cash, slipped away, and escaped in a maroon Chrysler Sebring.
He is described as a white man, in his 40s to 50s, 6 feet tall, 160 pounds, with red hair and a graying red beard. He has worn a dark hoodie with "Viejas" on the front, a red or dark ball cap and jeans.

Liberty Wrestlers Bested by Best at Reno
For the second-consecutive year, Central Michigan won the tournament with 152.5 team points, behind the strength of four weight class titles. Oklahoma State placed second with 128.0 team points, followed by Cornell's third-place effort with 99.0 team points.
The Flames finished with 16.5 team points to place 19th in the field of 26 programs. Last year, Liberty surprised the tournament field, placing 13th out of 29 teams with 39 team points.
Sean Katz was the first Liberty grappler to face a seeded wrestler, falling by major decision (18-4) in his first round match-up to No. 4 seed Ben Kjar of Utah Valley at 125 pounds.
Christian Smith put together a nice run to the quarterfinals of the championship bracket at 133 pounds. The senior opened with a 13-0 major decision win over Great Falls' Jason Harrington, followed by an 11-9 decision over Appalachian State's Terreyl Williams.
Smith then was pitted against No. 3 seed Filip Novachkov of Cal Poly, where he dropped a 4-1 decision to fall into the wrestleback bracket.
Sam Walters ran into two seeded wrestlers during his time at the tournament. The 149-pounder dropped a 2-0 decision to No. 3 seed Brandon Carter of Central Michigan, before falling by decision (5-3) to No. 4 seed Seth Ray of Southern Oregon in the wrestleback bracket.
Chad Porter continued the Liberty trend of squaring off against No. 3 seeded wrestlers, losing by fall (6:19) to Cornell's Mack Lewnes, who eventually went on to claim the tournament individual title at 165 pounds.
Aaron Kelley, who finished the day with a 3-2 overall record at 174 pounds, won his first two bouts of the day, starting with a 6-1 decision over Wyoming's Dan Barrone. Following a 24-11 major decision win over Oregon's Ron Lee, Kelley lost a 12-2 major decision to No. 4 seed Michael Kummer of Great Falls.
Nick Knowles was the lone Flame to square off against a bracket's top-seeded wrestler. Following a speedy fall (0:17) over Western Wyoming's Mike Hautala, Knowles was pinned (1:06) by Ian Murphy of Cal State Fullerton, the No. 1 seed of the 184-pound bracket.
Patrick Walker was the final wrestler to face a seeded competitor, losing his opening round match-up with No. 2 seed Wade Sauer of Cal State Fullerton, by decision (7-0). Sauer is currently ranked No. 4 nationally at heavyweight in the latest USA Today/InterMat/NWCA Division I Coaches poll.
Liberty's wrestling squad will take the next few days off for Christmas and will return to the wrestling mats on Dec. 29 and 30, in Greensboro, N.C., for the Southern Scuffle.

SEATTLE, Wash. (May. 23)
The Danish people were honored for their rescue in 1943 of 7000 Danish Jews at ceremonies Friday here and in New York. The ceremony here was in conjunction with the visit of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle presented the Queen with an illuminated scroll during a luncheon in her honor by the Danish Bicentennial Committee of Seattle at the Olympic Hotel.
Martin D. Rino Federation president, presented the scroll which said: "The Jewish community of Seattle greets Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe ll on the occasion of her historic visit to our city. Jewish people throughout the world will forever remember with gratitude the humanity and courage displayed by the people of Denmark in a dark period of human history."
In 1943, it stated, "when Denmark was under Nazi occupation and its small Jewish community was about to be sent to the death camps for extermination, the people of Denmark, under the noble leadership of King Christian X, saved the Jewish population by transporting them under cover of night across the waters to safety."
In New York, an organization called Tribute to the Danes, which includes many Holocaust survivors, presented a plaque to Danish Consul Krog Meyer at the Danish Consulate. The plaque, which will be installed in the Museum of Freedom Fighters in Copenhagen, says: "To the people of Denmark, in eternal gratitude for their selfless dedication to the highest human principles, exemplified by the October, 1943 rescue of their brethren of the Jewish faith." The presentation was made by the organization's president, Dr. Leon A. Falik, a Holocaust survivor.

Gorilla Ashtrays
A lady friend of mine has this ashtray in her home (I don't smoke). I remember how all of us at her dinner party had no clue what to make of this ugly thing. Finally, my lady friend came over and used it to collect her cigarette ash. The group let out this collective, "Ahhhhh...", before conversation restarted with this ugly ashtray as the main subject.

After the El Niño weather pattern caused deadly mudslides and flooding left thousands homeless and others dead this past spring, Chile's unusual rainy season has created something truly beautiful. The country's Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world, has sprouted a carpet of gorgeous pink wildflowers. One of only three deserts in the world which naturally blooms, the miles of psychedelic wonderland are actually mallow flowers, which bloom every five to seven years, usually based on El Niño.
Stretching from the northern coast of Chile into southern Peru, the Atacama holds the record for the world's longest dry streak, having gone 173 months without a drop of rain in the early 20th century. There are some spots of the Atacama where rainfall has actually never been recorded and the area is usually used as a stand-in for Mars, both in films and in NASA rover experiments. But, in March, thunderstorms brought 0.96 inches of rain in a single day. While this doesn't seem like that much, 0.9 inches accounts for over 14 years' worth of rain in one day, according to the Washington Post.
For those who want to see the flowers in person, which cover the 600 miles of land in the Atacama, head to Chile now. The expanse will being to lose its flourish in early November. The area is also famous for its incredible stargazing. With so few sustainable cities in the desert, light pollution is nearly non-existent, making the Atacama a favorite of astronomers.
If planning a trip to South America in the next week or so seems out of reach, Central Australia also experiences a similar desert bloom every ten years, with the next phenomenon expected in 2023. The Utah desert also sprouts wildflowers, but the season is much more short-lived.
