Its really easy to for me to get bored when I am on big feature movie sets. This day was no exception. I began by teasing and modeling for the camera in my jammies that I run around in on set and to my surprise I found a lovely little boy toy running around bored as well. He hadnt even done his scene yet with some other girl but I took him into the mens bathroom anyways and made sure the first load he shot that day was in MY mouth! lol Well needless to say the other girl got sloppy seconds and I got very satisfied! Best part.... I had my camera to shoot it all for the most important guys in my life! The members of BreeOlson.com

The best ways to perform badly on your GMAT. Follow each to the letter and you'll be sure to flunk terribly well!
1. Get Yourself Really Stressed Out.
In order to really hinder your ability to learn new information and memorize GMAT concepts, be sure to get stressed out to the max. Put yourself under a lot of pressure and resist taking breaks or coming up for air while studying. This will ensure that you can't sleep, get plenty headaches, become constipated and incredibly irritable. Plus, being stressed means that you might not need food, because stress inhibits your appetite. So you can save some money and time cooking, and spend more time studying off an empty tank!
OR, you could…
Manage your stress levels sensibly. Stress is what got you this far, it pushed you into studying and taking the test. But when stress gets too much, your studies and performance will suffer. As soon as you think your stress levels are getting too high, be sure to take a break -change up your environment, laugh (with an old friend or at a funny movie), get some fresh air and remind yourself that it's not the end of the world. (And there are always GMAT retakes!)
Your memory, understanding and performance will all thank you for it.
2. Go with what Sounds Natural on the Verbal Section.
"Hey, I don't care what the GMAT takers say, I'm a native English speaker and I know what sounds natural!"
OR, you could…
Learn what the test takers consider to be correct.
GMAT grammar follows the rules of Standard English – those rules that should be followed but in everyday life tend not to be. This is why this section is difficult for non-native speakers and native speakers alike. Sometimes the correct answer just doesn't sound natural. Just for this period of your life, learn what is "GMAT correct", even if it doesn't seem to be "common sense correct" to you. Whatever the GMAT testers say goes, I'm afraid. They are the boss here.
3. Be Sure to Blow your Timing!
Spend loads of time on the problems that you can't solve. This way you will never get to the ones that you can solve, but you might, might just be able to crack the most difficult ones, eventually. Yay!
Or you could…
Be vigilant with your time management. Did you know that some of the questions on the GMAT are experimental and won't actually count towards your score? This is just one reason why there is no point spending too long on the harder questions. The other reason is that you will answer fewer questions and you won't be able to get as far with the test, nor get points for the questions that you can solve. Stick to strict time constraints and your score will be much improved as a result.
4. Protect Your Ego At all Costs.
Don't hurt your pride – stick with a question until you've solved it.You don't want to admit that you can't do it, so keep trying it until you work out the answer! Yes, even if it takes 20 minutes. You'll feel good at the end of it.
OR you could..
Let it go and move on. It can be uncomfortable for some people to accept, but you have to guess aggressively on the GMAT. Just accept that you can't solve it (in a reasonable amount of time) guess, and move on. Do not let your pride get in the way, and accept defeat graciously. Focus on how you (and your ego) will feel when you get a 780 vs 500!
5. Don't Prepare Physically for the Test.
Study the night before until super late, get a terrible night's sleep, skip breakfast and have 3 cups of coffee instead. You'll be nice and hungry, jittery and uncomfortable, and won't be able to focus. Perfect conditions for flunking the GMAT!
OR you could..
Walk into the test center feeling well-rested, well hydrated and with plenty of time to spare until the test. Get your 6-8 hours sleep if possible. Be sure not to head to bed too early, instead hit the sack when you feel sleepy. This will help you avoid tossing and turning all night. Leave enough time to have breakfast, a drink and use the bathroom is poss. Take a brisk walk and give yourself a pep talk!
Have directions to the test center printed out, research the parking situation (some public parking garages don't open until 8am – don't get caught out!), have change for parking meter, gas in your tank, or bus/ train timetables worked out. Having someone reliable take you in if possible may help settle your nerves.
And if you enjoy a cup of coffee… caffeine is known to increase short term recall and boost performance on mental tests. It can boost your memory and reasoning, and hence your test performance. So feel free to have a cup before the test, just don't go overboard!

Can anyone identify this tree?
It was growing at the side of a road in Paphos, Cyprus. It was a medium height tree with grey bark, red flowers and leaves as seen in photo. Fruit/nut in clusters with medium sized seeds, similar to pine nuts but more rounded.
If anyone can identify this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
I would go for a Brachychiton sp. (a.k.a. Kurrajong). There are quite a few species (and not being an expert on anything I can't tell which). It is of Australian (incl. New Guinea) origin, but have been introduced in the Mediterranean (and elsewhere with a suitable climate).

Two unrelated items I ran into yesterday but couldn't post because Blogger wasn't working properly -
from Something In The Way She Moves:
I have difficulty believing that Slava [Vladislav Surkov] is really loyal to anyone but himself. Plus, his connection to Chubais also calls his loyalty to Putin into question.
Post Script to this Post Script: Slava's wife and Chubais' wife are sisters. [...]
And from Finding Karadzic:
I heard there are several Karadzic addresses out there. Though I don't know any of them, I hear that he lived comfortably for a while in Kiev until the Orange Revolution brought uncertainty and American influence.

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Links at Outlook, The -- Service None...
|Review by: Fed UP
|There is one Star because I am forced to put one in to have the review submitted. I showed up at the course on July 2nd and approx 9:30 looking to get out. I was unable to find anyone inside the pro shop and the Starter was busy chatting with whatever group was on the tee. Once the groups are sent to the tee I thought the starter should be available especially if the proshop was empty. So I left figuring they must do enough business that they didn't need mine.

Elementary Education
Seton Montessori Elementary is a program that offers children an education steeped in an integrated cultural curriculum. This community cultivates within each student a passion for learning and provides the tools to fuel the child's quest for knowledge. Through the depth of the curriculum the children learn to integrate and connect ideas, develop critical thinking skills and become independent, lifelong leaders. As a part of an interwoven community of parents and teachers, these confident young global citizens are preparing to know who they are and to act responsibly to serve humanity.
A strong community base is developed in the Montessori Early Childhood classrooms and the elementary program builds on this foundation as the children begin to connect outside their classroom family through exploring the community at large. The Elementary Montessori program delivers a full age-appropriate educational curriculum using an integrated approach to explore math, language, science, social studies and the arts. Each student is invited to become an active participant in his or her own learning process as he or she moves from the concrete world of their earlier years to the threshold of abstract thinking found in the older classrooms. The focus is on building the foundations of organization, self-confidence, cooperation and curiosity all while providing a growing academic challenge.
The Elementary Montessori program hours are 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with before and after school hours offered as early as 7:00 a.m. and as late as 6:00 p.m. The curriculum not only includes the Montessori materials and instruction, but also Spanish, physical education, art, music, Junior Great Books reading program, care of animals and gardens, nature study and so much more!

Online Financial Resources Are Gaining Traction Among CUs
The credit union has announced plans to launch the Wesabe Springboard Community Application, where thousands of active members engage in discussions ranging from paying off debt and smarter spending to buying a house.
Addison Avenue members will be able to post questions and receive answers from each other while also having access to the greater community of Wesabe members. Wesabe Springboard provides a smart dashboard view of individual account data and personal finances to help guide users toward value, savings and goal completion.
"When you look at Wesabe's Groups section, the value is immediately apparent-nearly every question is met with sound advice and supportive comments," said Stu Fisher, senior vice president of eCommerce at Addison Avenue FCU. "By adopting some of the popular community features from Wesabe, we're giving our members a chance to connect with each other and to tap into Wesabe's massive database."
Fisher adds that at Addison Avenue FCU online banking is vital.
"Only 30% of our members ever visit a branch. With such an Internet savvy and geographically diverse group, we see this as an innovative way for our members to help each other reach their financial goals," said Fisher.
Another service gaining traction is the Filene Research Institute's Debt in Focus program.
Debt in Focus is a free, anonymous Web-based debt education tool designed to help people better understand their current financial situations. UW Credit Union and Bronco Federal Credit Union are the latest to pilot the program.
"Now more than ever, people are taking a critical look at their finances and spending habits," said UW Credit Union Chief Credit Officer Mike Long. "We are offering this tool free of charge so people can take the first steps toward understanding their own financial situation and the impact debt has on their financial health."
Here is how it works: Consumers input information regarding their income and current debt. They are then provided a summary of their debt total, ratios, and an estimated budget. In addition, they are given a series of action steps specific to their situation that they can take to reduce their debt or put themselves in a better financial position.
According to the Filene i3 team that developed the program, with consumers trying to figure out ways to decrease debt and increase savings, now is the time for credit unions to position themselves as a trusted resource for financial information.

Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Consolidated Cigar Corporation
(continued from page 8)
CA: You don't want to tell me what the blend is?
DiMeola: I don't want to tell you what the shape is.
CA: OK. All right, let me ask you a specific question. Is it true that you're coming out with a new brand, called Cleopatra, that is designed for the female market?
DiMeola: You know what a corona is?
CA: Yeah.
DiMeola: And you know what a Churchill is?
CA: Yeah.
DiMeola: Well, these are Cleopatras. It's a shape.
CA: In other words, you're coming out with a unique shape and size for the female market?
DiMeola: Right.
CA: And when is this happening?
DiMeola: Within 90 days.
CA: So this is a great opportunity to tell the world, because this issue is published in June.
DiMeola: I'll tell you this much. We see the increased interest among women in cigars. And we also see the increase in publicity surrounding women smoking. It's a natural. So when we talk to women, we find that they like small cigars and they like big cigars. Well, we already make small cigars and big cigars; so there is nothing to talk about. We said, why not create a cigar specifically designed for women? Now we have something to talk about, and look at all the publicity we're going to get. So we're going to take it and put it in one of our brands, Don Diego, and we're going to have the Cleopatra shape in the Don Diego brand; and it's going to be specifically pointed at women. You're going to see more and more publicity surrounding women smoking. Whether or not a real business can be built catering to women, I don't know. I believe that women are more occasional users of cigars than the young men today.
CA: The question is whether or not they want to be separated out, having their own cigar, versus smoking what everyone else does.
DiMeola: Whether they do or whether they don't, it doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is--I'm not interested in the business that I can get in Cleopatra shapes, per se. I'm interested more in the publicity we can get from it. I was talking to a reporter about the cigar business once and they asked me the same question about women, and I told them that I was creating the Cleopatra shapes and it appeared in an article--some obscure article somewhere--and we're already getting calls about it.
CA: So this will be sold through normal channels?
DiMeola: Yes.
CA: Last question before we wrap up. Montecristo--the largest-selling Cuban brand in the world. You have the rights to it. In the last few years you have introduced a Dominican version of it. One could argue that you're increasing your production radically, but in fact it's only available at a limited number of outlets. One could claim that you aren't making it available to the total market. A lot of people would like to try it. What plans do you have to accelerate the production and the distribution of the cigar--to be as widely available as a major national brand?
DiMeola: One of the problems, as you know, is making enough cigars. Our traditional brands that have been in the market for years have been increasing in volume tremendously. We have an enormous amount of cigars on back order right now, and the problem has been that once you increase production somewhere you decrease production somewhere else on specific brands. Our program is to try to increase the inventory levels of Montecristo and then to expand the distribution. We do not want to open new outlets for Montecristo without having an assurance that we can keep those new outlets supplied.
CA: When do you see that day coming?
DiMeola: I think that this year we can begin to expand it slowly.
CA: Are you talking about two or three years before it's available to tobacconists across America?
DiMeola: Availability like any major brand? I don't see it ever becoming available like any major brand. I think it's going to be an exclusive brand...but it will sell a substantial number of cigars.
CA: In 1995, how many Montecristos were sold to the consumer?
DiMeola: Under a half a million.
CA: For 1996, what are you budgeted?
DiMeola: Maybe a million.
CA: In 1997?
DiMeola: I haven't gone that far.
CA: You've been in the business for 40 years. You have lived in an industry which has gone through, in totality, enormous decline. You have been an executive in an industry which has been publicly denounced and beat up, and challenged on many social levels; and that has witnessed the cultural removal of cigar enjoyment--certainly when compared to 30, 40 or 50 years ago, when everybody who I ever meet, their father and grandfather smoked cigars. And now, of course, in California and New York you can't even have a nice meal and finish that evening smoking a cigar with your friend. It's pretty frustrating to the consumer--and to some of us, despicable. Where do you see the cigar market today from a social point of view, and what do you see happening in the next five or 10 years? Do you see more states like New York and California outlawing us--sending us into the streets? Do you see the pendulum coming back, where there's more reason and acceptance of cigar smoking? From your point of view, what do you see as the future for all of us?
DiMeola: I think there are more places where you can smoke a cigar publicly today than there have been in many years. When I started in the business, it was even legal to smoke a cigar on an elevator. We always tried to teach cigar smoking etiquette. And we always tried to teach the smoker not to smoke in an elevator when it was full. And to use common sense--and we're still preaching that in the cigar industry today.
In the '50s and the '60s, we all had restaurant programs to try to get humidors in restaurants, because we felt there were captive consumers there; if they forgot their cigars, they had to buy them at the restaurant, because everyone smoked after a meal. That's the best time to enjoy a good cigar. And we felt that it was brand-building when you had to buy from the restaurant, even if you were paying more money. It was your brand you wanted them to smoke as a sampling.
Then we saw this change to the point where every restaurant--and this is something I really didn't understand--most restaurants put it on their menus: No Cigar or Pipe Smoking Allowed. They were allowed to smoke a cigarette, but not a cigar. And it got to the point where--I mean this happened to me once--I was in a certain room of a restaurant, and I took out a cigar and I was just holding it. It wasn't lit, and some person in the other room complained that, "He has a cigar." But I'm not smoking it! "Well, he's going to smoke it," she said. That was the bottom.
Today, here we are in the city of New York, and it has a no smoking law in public places. I think of cigar bars--there are four or five of them in the city. As a result, the restaurateurs are suffering. Take a scenario where five or six people have a business meeting and then they want to go out to dinner. Well, if they're cigar smokers, they'll go to the cigar bar and they'll have a cocktail and smoke a cigar before dinner. Then they'll go have their dinner. Then they'll leave the restaurant and go back to the cigar bar for their coffee, Cognac and cigar; so a $600 bill becomes a $300 bill for the restaurant.

No sooner had production of Chevy's aging Colorado compact pickup ground to a halt due to parts supply disruption in Japan then GM brought out the concept version of its forthcoming replacement, the Global Colorado. This concept specifically previews the Thai-built version of GM's compact-midsized pickup, and offers 4 Wheel Drive, as well as an all-new 2.8 liter turbodiesel engine. Brad Merkel, GM's Global Vehicle Line Executive explains
Although this is a show vehicle, the basic proportions and form convey the vision for the next-generation Colorado that we will bring to market. It reflects a stylized version of the new truck, one that takes into account rugged dependable truck capabilities for commercial use as well as sophisticated refinement for personal-use needs.
The Thai-built version of the Global olorado willl begin production this October, but a version of this truck intended for the US market is still a ways off. It's unlikely that a US version will offer GM's new diesel engine, but GM is still keeping details about its new oil-burning engine under wraps for now. Given the lack of investment in the US Market's mid-compact truck offerings, however, any new trucks entering this space are worth watching.

Yeah…just like the pathetic "world" Ranger, this one can stay away from us.
The only redeeming factor of our Colorado/Canyon is that you can get them with the 5.3 V8. That would make for one fun truck.

GM still builds the S-10 in Brazil, I think. If they wanted to, GM could sell the Brazilian S-10 in the US and have customers lined up 5 rows deep to buy a new one.

Come ON, Ford! You gonna let Chevy eat your lunch on this one and let every other market EXCEPT North America have the "global" Ranger? Just to scavenge a few more "in-before-fuel-hits-$5" F-150 buyers? Really?
I'm the furthest thing from a "Chevy Guy" you'll ever meet, but I admit, I'd give it an honest look if it were in production for the U.S. and Ford still hasn't offered me a compact or at least sane-sized pickup by that time if/when my Ranger starts nickel-and-diming me to death. Not to say it will (knock on wood). But yeah. Maybe one day I'll want something newer and nicer, and unless Ford has a very Ranger-like truck on the market at that time, they face the probability of losing a sale. Sorry, Mulally, but the Ranger is really the "ONE Ford" for my needs.

As an owner of several Fords and Ford based Mazdas I have to agree with you. If Ford abandons the small truck market I may have to go a Chevy P/U when my 2000 B3000 dies.

The concept truck is very nice. I'd like to see the production truck and what the MSRP would be for the North American market. It seems to me only the bug man and NAPA buy Colorados. I've seen a few of the V8/4×4 Canyons that would be absolutely sweet in my driveway, but… For the same money, I could get into a bigger truck.
I have a feeling that the pricing would still favor the full size trucks.

+1 on loosing the 'transformer style dash'….great line Halftruth.
If they also loose the silly hood vents (what is this, a Buick?) and the rear spoiler that I suspect is part of the tonneau, I would also give it a strong look.
But I agree with those who say we'll never see it here.

Vents are the new accent, so please remove them, as they ONLY belong on BUICKS! The General should then sue every other OEM that uses them in that position, and then go after all the parts houses that sell stick-on vents AND the Neon owners who buy them! Seriously, if you want to accent your vehicle, how about proudly displaying the NAME of the vehicle on the side as god intended? In a proper script type style, too. Oh, and another thing, the model is displayed properly on the right side of the trunk/tailgate, not the left, as this forces the driver following you to scan and take in the entire rear look of the vehicle, ending up with the name. It cost me good money to fix that "mistake" on my Impala and to add the Chevrolet name to the left side. Sorry if that sounds cranky, but I remember how cars were supposed to be styled and trimmed, and it worked for how many years?

I will buy one of these when the temperature in Hell reaches a sustained temperature of 0 degrees celsius for a long enough period to turn a sizable quantity of H-2-0 from a liquid state to a solid state. The rest of the world treats America like sh!t. It is time for Americans to tell the rest of the world to go F{}ck themselves.
And while we are at it, we still OWN a big damned chunk of GM. So precisely how does it feel to get smacked in the face by those ingrates? They should be building this truck in America.

Note to GM. I can only afford one vehicle and I've got 2 kids so if you want me to consider one I need a proper back seat (crew cab). Aside from that, I dare you to sell it here.
I was surprised to hear that production had to stop on the Colorado. I didn't know that there were enough people buying them to justify running a production line in the first place.

A truck like this is just what my girlfriend and I were talking about the other day. Going forward it will be nearly impossible for us to own a full size truck, so a smaller, more fuel efficient truck would allow us the flexibility to tow or put dirt bikes in the bed and get things home improvement projects done with $5 a gallon gas around by the time this comes out. A small crossover might be able to fulfill our needs, but I'd rather own a wagon and a truck.
Even if diesel isn't a widely accepted fuel in the states, I won't be surprised if a turbo diesel does come in this truck to the states to meet CAFE standards. And with higher standards coming up soon and current full size trucks not shrinking, losing weight, or getting significantly better MPG, I can't imagine going to the local Chevy dealer and being able to purchase a sub $35-$40k Silverado ever again so that only those who really need one/have more money than they know what to do with can afford it.
Bring a small truck that gets 35MPG highway and costs under $30k to the states and I will gladly buy one in a heartbeat. Make sure I can fit two dirt bikes in the bed and still keep up with traffic on the highway and I'll switch from GM to whichever brand offers it. Even better, bring back the El Camino with a turbo 4 or 6 and the ability to put one bike in the bed and I'll appreciate it even more now that my 72 SS is long gone.

I don't mind those vents. They look neatly integrated, not tacked on as on most vehicles I've seen them on. All in all it's a clean modern design. That wing thingy behind the cab is a little ridiculous, It would get destroyed pretty quick with the things I use my truck for. To me the pinnacle of of small truck design is still the previous generation Tacoma. Since then they've all been too big, butch, expensive, or thirsty.

I used to look seriously at the Chevy Colorado, but I finally lost all interest in the truck.
I liked the fuel economy with four cylinder-lots of torque and horsepower and you still get similar mileage to a Toyota or Nissan. It was a good size too, a lot of people argued that it was a midsize just like the Toyota and Nissan but I always felt like it was a lot smaller than either of the other two.
The reason I stopped looking at the truck seriously is because it was simply such a mediocre vehicle. I could tolerate the ugly interior (I actually found the simplicity of it quite appealing) and I definitely liked the looks, too-but I lacked confidence in its ability to do long term work after a combination of lackluster dealer visits (where it simply felt shoddily put together) and when IIHS ranked it Poor in side crash tests. And its towing and hauling capacities were average at best. And it always felt built to a price, lots of weak-feeling sheetmetal.
The reason the IIHS tests bothered me is that, when I looked at the post-crash photos, it seemed to highlight the flimsiness of the chassis that I saw in person. It wasn't the safety angle-it was the fact that, simply put, the truck seemed loose in person and in procedures designed to test a vehicle's structural design, and while I can tolerate a truck getting bad safety scores, when it seems clear that those bad safety scores are due to a lack of structural rigidity-in a truck designed to be abused, no less-it's just too much.
I'm not holding my breath for this Colorado to be much better. I'm sure it would be better than the current model, but whether it could compete in the U.S. is questionable. This model would be competing against the world Ranger, Hilux and Navarra. In the U.S. though, midsizers don't compete with midsizers-they compete with fullsizers. Would-be midsize customers compare the benefits with shopping for a full-size truck. Back when the trucks were small, the benefits were obvious-better mileage, easier to park. Nowadays the positives are a lot more abstract.
Could this Colorado-even if it got better safety scores, tougher sheetmetal, better chassis, better mileage-compete with an F-150 or Tundra? Not if it were a midsize. It would have to be as small or smaller than the current generation. And it would have to get substantially better mileage than an F-150-say, 25 mpg total, 22 in the city and perhaps 29 on the highway. It would still have to tow well, and accomodate 4wd, real 4wd with transfer case preferred, because a lot of the old compact trucks got used in moderately challenging off-road situations when the owner felt like going on a fishing/camping trip.
It could work–but simply being better than it is now isn't nearly enough.

I like it a lot. Looks great, although the dash is very busy. If/when it's sold in the U.S., it will be interesting to see if 1) the production version is too "dumbed down" compared to this concept and 2) exactly how big it is. If it's too big, it might not do well.
I really think they need to dump the Colorado/Canyon names, though. Awful sounding names for any kind of vehicle, in my opinion.

As usual, I'm about three months or so behind the curve. I just discovered that USAA completed a survey back in August regarding teens, parents, and how they all relate with money. I won't say that the findings stun me. I'll just say that in a self-indulgent society such as ours, where blinged-out shows like MTV's Cribs and My Super Sweet 16 get and keep audiences, and where young kids actually consider Paris Hilton to be something other than a waste of breathable air, it's really no wonder that 61 percent of teens think they will become millionaires by age 40 or younger. Nearly half expect to retire by age 60.
No, really. That's what the survey found.
Fellow blogger FMF briefly touched on this same survey in September, in his post "The (Financially) Blind Leading the Blind." He mentioned that the USAA survey suggests that while 86 percent of teens say their parents are their most helpful source of info about money, a hefty 49 percent of parents rate their money-management skills somewhere in the range from "okay" to "terrible."
"I think that too many parents are giving themselves too much credit," FMF wrote. "Based on what I've seen, more than 49% are much worse than what is indicated here."
Holy cow, yes. I agree, and agree, and agree some more. When it comes to kids learning about money from their parents, I'm pretty certain that we're reaping what we've sown. Most parents suck at money. Thus, the outlook for their kids' cash-management skills is downright horrible.
Now, I've looked all over the 'net for text from the USAA survey proper, but the best I've been able to find is a synopsis at USAA's News Center:
USAA: "Teens Aren't Always Prepared for Managing Money"
A few more items that jump out at me:
To which I'd respond, "Whatever. A whole lot of parents just didn't confess."
And this tidbit:
Take those two items together, and you know what it all says to me?
Yeah, we're doomed.

Nicholas Porau says Police have the "wrong man" after he was arrested and charged with receiving stolen goods from the funeral of beloved Waihi woman Shirley Spurr. The 40 year old told waiting reporters outside the Hamilton Court House yesterday that he was trying to return it when he was found with a cane basket of food worth $50.
"I'm not guilty, definitely not," he said, adding he'd heard that the food had gone missing from the Waihi Memorial Hall where the kai hakari (feast) was to be held and was tipped off to where the food might be, so he set out to go and look for it. He also said that Shirley Spurr was his aunty and he respected her greatly.
The other man who appeared in the Hamilton District Court yesterday was 17 year old Horace Hone Rolleston. He was arrested on Tuesday in relation to the theft of $1500 worth of food.
A 14 and 12 year old boy were also apprehended and have been referred to Youth Aid.
The food taken was valued at $1500 and included 650 savouries, 30 litres of orange juice, coffee, cakes and quiches.
Mark Kennet from the PumpHouse Cafe was catering for Mrs Spurr's funeral with his mother, Jacqui Hutchinson and discovered the theft of the food from the Waihi Memorial Hall at about 7 am on Tuesday morning.
Gold FM heard the news from Waihi Police Senior Sergeant Rex Knight who arrived at our studios just after he'd been told about the theft and the information was able to be included in our weekly on air Police File report and broadcast regularly from then on.
Offers of food and help soon came in and the generosity of Waihi people who wanted to help in any way they could meant Shirley's funeral went ahead with plenty of food for everyone who attended. And, there was plenty left over for the Spurr family to distribute food to the needy.

Sharp LC-32GD7E 32in LCD TV

- Page 2 Sharp LC-32GD7E 32in LCD TV
- Page 3 Sharp LC-32GD7E 32in LCD TV
- Page 4 Feature Table
Key Features
- Review Price: £1300.00
Every TV brand currently cashing in on the LCD boom owes a big debt of thanks to Sharp. For it was Sharp which first put its money where its mouth was to produce the world's debut 30in LCD TV, finally proving once and for all that LCD really could work for the large-screen TV market as well as the PC monitor market. So as we set about testing Sharp's current 32in flagship model, the LC-32GD7E, we can't help but hope that it benefits from the brand's unparalleled LCD experience.
Provided you like your TVs to glint like an Aston Martin in the sun, you'll lap up the 32GD7E's looks. Clad all over in a resplendently metallic 'Titanium' finish, it's the very definition of futuristic chic. This means its design appeal is perhaps rather 'blokish' – but then ladies of the house might still be won over by the space saving nature of its unusually slender screen frame.
The 32GD7E isn't quite as well connected as might be hoped from a TV that resides in the higher echelons of Sharp's range. Single HDMI and component jacks cater for the industry's 'HD Ready' connectivity requirements when at least two digital jacks would have been appreciated; and there are only two SCARTs when we'd really have liked three. At least the set provides PC support via a 15-pin D-SUB port, and there's a card slot for adding subscription services to the basic channels received by the built-in digital tuner.
Did we say digital tuner? Indeed we did. What's more, although at launch a couple of months back this TV couldn't handle the Freeview 7-day electronic programme guide, we're pleased to report that recent upgrades mean the set can now deliver all the digital TV EPG functionality we've come to know and love.
Elsewhere we find the HD Ready connectivity backed up by a suitably 'HD friendly' native pixel resolution of 1,366 x 768, and compatibility with the 720p and 1080i HD formats. Note that 1080p signals cannot be accepted.

Not that it will make a difference, but Dwight Howard told Sam Amick of the USA Today he was sorry for how everything went down in his exit from Orlando last year.
"In Orlando, I handled a lot of stuff the wrong way," he said, sitting at his kitchen table. "If any of those people in Orlando are upset with how I did it, I apologize for the way I handled it and the way it was handled in the media.
"I really just got caught up in wanting to please everybody else. I really love that city. That was the hardest thing to do was to leave that city because I basically grew up there. That was my whole life. Orlando was it. I did not want to leave all that behind — the city, just everything about it. The fans. But I wanted a change for my life. I just felt like there was something else out there for me."

2013-14 Winter Preview: State-entrant Woodbury wrestling team returns stocked lineup
Woodbury won't surprise anybody this season after it secured its first-ever trip to the state tournament last season. Not with all but three starters returning to the Royals' lineup and five returning state entrants.
Senior Justin Herold-Plakut, who was ranked second at the end of the season, headlines the returners after a third-place finish at 152 pounds last season and a 44-4 record. Junior Ben Donnelly, who finished ranked sixth at 132, placed fourth following a 3-1 overtime loss to Hastings' Luke Rowh in the third-place match and finished with a 40-8 record. The other state entrants include senior Howard Jones, freshman Austin Braun and junior Ty Johnson, who finished ranked 10th at 120.
Jones got only one match at the state tournament at 160 pounds and finished 33-8 while Braun won his first match, but lost his second to Owatonna's Brandon Moen to finish 33-14. Johnson went 1-1 at the state tournament to finish 35-10.
Woodbury lost both matches in the team tournament at state last season after it faced third-seeded and third-ranked Prior Lake in the first round. The Lakers beat the Royals 45-14 and Woodbury got bounced from the consolation round after a 51-21 loss to ninth-ranked Moorhead.
The results of the state meet – individually and team-wise – have left the Royals hungry for more. One Woodbury wrestler in particular is Herold-Plakut after he experienced a second-round upset loss to Willmar's Colten Carlson. Donnelly and the rest of the returning state entrants will want a better state experience this season as well.
Johnson has not placed in state in the two years he's been there in 2012 and 2013. Johnson had a productive offseason, placing first in freestyle and Greco-Roman at 126 pounds at the state competition and went on to place second in cadet Greco-Roman at the Northern Plains Regional and third in freestyle. Johnson did not place at the nationals though.
Braun took second at 120 in folkstyle at MN/USA State Tournament, third in Greco-Roman at 126, second in freestyle at 126.
Woodbury will have to replace Young Vang, who wrestled at 106 last year, Kevin Beseman, who wrestled at 145 and Josh McClain, who wrestled at heavyweight last season.
"The first couple of weights in the lineup will be new faces to the varsity mat, so they must mature quickly in order to compete against some of the best teams in the state on the schedule," said Royals head coach Justin Smith, who enters his sixth season at the helm. "The heavyweight slot that was manned by senior Josh McClain last year will also need to improve quickly in order for us to be competitive this season."
Woodbury went 19-8 overall and 7-2 in the Suburban East Conference, good for second place.
The Royals also bring back Matt Delaney, who won 29 matches and senior John McNiff, who held a 16-3 record at one point in the season last year.
Woodbury defeated Stillwater for the Section 4AAA title with a 9-2 decision from McClain in the heavyweight match for a 32-27 victory. The Ponies had beaten the Royals the year before 46-20 in the semifinals.
Smith expects perennial power Hastings to be on top in the Suburban East conference this season while the section should have plenty of competition with the likes of White Bear Lake, Stillwater and Tartan.
Woodbury opens the season Dec. 6 against Eastview in Apple Valley.

Thought this
from ITnews Australia is quite interesting...
Digital restrictions management: help or hindrance to the spread of e-books?
Help, because publishers require it to enter the e-book market, and we need the publishers / their content to make e-books successful; hindrance, because honest customers feel cheated and limited in their rights. Eventually, as e-books will move up the maturity curve and publishers won't have a choice but embrace them, DRM will disappear - just as it did for music from the iTunes store - allowing the consumer to be the judge of what's right and what's wrong, a flexibility that DRM couldn't.
I still believe that DRM is evil and unecessary but the above is quite relevant and quite possibly the way it might pan out eventually. There is no mention of geographic restrictions which may well shape up to be a bigger issue (at least for me) than DRM.
I have narrowed the contenders for my first dedicated ereader to the Onyx Boox 60 and the Kindle 2. The Boox does more for only a little extra in cost, so it is edging ahead. But all these new offerings just over the horizon.....

Next up on our New York Comic Con coverage is Bandai. You'll notice that we have a ton of photos for this booth, for the sheer fact that they brought so many things with them! They had so many toys on display and for sale that we couldn't get shots of everything; there were literally dozens of people streaming through that kept us from getting tighter shots. The crush of people didn't deter us from asking Adam Newman of Bandai about their distribution through Bluefin and how they're ready and eager to bring some of the best merch for shows like Tiger & Bunny, Dragonball Z and One Piece over to the states.
Hit the jump to watch the video for more information about upcoming Bandai/Bluefin/Tamashii releases!

Score 20,000 points in 90 seconds.
1 star: 20000 points
2 stars: 30000 points
3 stars: 40000 points
To put up the points you need you are going to need some help, but it is very hard to make striped candies unless you can clear the bottom out. Work on the chocolate to clear that out and once you do, you should be able to get a few power ups. Set a vertical striped candy up in the middle column and zip through the powerups or try to match them up if possible. The bottom area is the key to passing this.
patricia frederick's tips for candy crush level 189
Try to break the chocolate right off but if you can't, try to release the striped/wrapped combo in the middle rows and that should get it. Unlock those bottom corner wrapped candies and snag as many +5's as you can.

Things you don't see at market bottoms, Paris Hilton edition
9 days ago
Matched content
It is said that while bottoms are events, but tops are processes. Translated, markets bottom out when panic sets in, and therefore they can be more easily identifiable. By contrast, market tops form when a series of conditions come together, but not necessarily all at the same time.
I have stated that while I don't believe that the stock market has made its final cyclical top, we are in the late stages of a bull market (see
Risks are rising, but THE TOP is still ahead
Nearing the terminal phase of this equity bull
). Nevertheless, psychology is getting a little frothy, which represent the pre-condition for a major top. This is just another post in a series of "things you don't see at market bottoms". Past editions of this series include:
Things you don't see at market bottoms, 23-Jun-2017

Oneza Lafontant, Founder
Kongo is dedicated to promoting a better understanding of Afro-Haitian music, culture and history and believes that the artist's role is to bring people together to make positive change. The group encourages community and social consciousness, conducts educational workshops, performs at a range of venues, and participates in organizing campaigns. Kongo -the name of the Africans tribe brought to Haiti- offers a blend of acappella interspersed with percussion and acoustic accents, which remain true to its African roots.
Formed in 1995, Kongo's main purpose is education--teaching traditional Haitian rhythms, songs and dance in schools, daycare centers and cultural institutions. Programs allow participants to explore the music of Haitian culture, learn basic history behind the instruments and their use dating back to pre-slavery times. Kongo teaches that the drums work together to communicate and encourages collective efforts among young people to achieve their dreams.
Kongo also supports social change campaigns through performances and participation in protests and fundraisers. Members work side-by-side with community organizations to disseminate information about social issues in a cultural and artistic way as well as directly in organizing campaigns. Other activities include visits to Haitian detainees in New York and Philadelphia.

BOOZY Brits will boost Treasury coffers by nearly £200million this Christmas thanks to the hated beer duty escalator, The Sun has learnt.
It means drinkers will hand £12 each on average in tax to the Government during the festive period.
UK drinkers are the most heavily-taxed in Europe, accounting for 40 per cent of the Continent's beer duty bill.
An extra 50 million pints of lager and ale are sold every week during December compared with other months, according to the British Beer and Pub Association.
That amounts to an additional £104million in beer duty, plus £82million in VAT.
Campaigners say the findings prove that Chancellor George Osborne must scrap the escalator, which was introduced by Labour and guarantees that beer duty goes up by two per cent above inflation every year.
Brigid Simmonds, chief executive of the British Beer & Pub Association, said: "The Government is out of touch with people on the beer duty escalator.
"It is resented by drinkers and publicans and hits the after-work pint hardest.
"It is also economic madness. Beer duty is so high that demand goes down, hitting Treasury revenues."
The Treasury insists that the escalator plays a vital role in tackling the deficit.

THE Nato commemorative coin is an improvement on the official Nato Summit Wales logo. Note that the Nato symbol (superimposed on the coin's map of Wales) is centred, approximately, over the Celtic Manor Resort, Langstone, Newport.
Therefore, might it not be good for the City of Newport's image to have its own banner/logo – to celebrate this historic event taking place at Newport. A "city banner" would not replace the official Nato Summit logo. A city banner would serve (and could be kept for posterity) as a reminder of the historic event.
It is likely that much of the media interest – before, during and after the NATO summit – will be focused on Cardiff, rather than Newport. Therefore, I would like to suggest that the City of Newport should have its own icon to display to the media - in the form of a banner displaying following.
