INVESTORS ARE SKEPTICAL about the outlook for the shares of (ticker: AOI), the world's second-largest leaf tobacco processor. At yesterday's closing price of $3.95, they fetch just 3.5 times trailing 12-month earnings. One concern stems from a shift in the way big cigarette makers deal with tobacco planters, as we outlined in an October Alert. Another is the company's $1.1 billion in net debt.
At a Glance
Alliance One International (ticker: AOI)
|Alliance One International 5.5% Convertible Bonds
|Maturity: :July 15, 2014
|July 15, 2014
Source: FactSet
Bondholders don't seem to share those concerns. Alliance One's $115 million convertible bond issue, which matures July 15, 2014, and has a coupon of 5.5%, trades at 107.7—well above its par value. At that price, the yield to maturity is just 3.2%. Clearly bondholders are not worried about the company defaulting on its debt. And given the bond's low payout, the bet is that the company's shares are seriously mispriced.
The conversion price of the bond is $5.02—27% above the current share price. If the stock is below that level when the bond matures, investors will get back 100 cents on the dollar. If the shares move up 50% in the next three-and-a-half years, the bonds would rise 10%. Interest payments would add another 10% to that return. If they double, the bonds would move up 50%.
Given the stock's low valuation and strong cash flow, doubling by 2014 is a real possibility. Alliance One's converts are a low-risk way to play the stock.
Over the last four quarters, the company earned $100 million, or $1.13 a share, on revenue of $2.27 billion. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $233 million. But even given the current uncertainty surrounding the business, bullish investors think the company could earn $1.00 or more a share over the next few years. (Only one Wall Street analyst covers the stock, so there is no consensus estimate.)
Alliance buys tobacco from planters in 45 countries, cures it and sells it to big cigarette makers, including Philip Morris International, Altria, Japan Tobacco and British American Tobacco. Together with its largest competitor, (UVV), Alliance controls well over half of the global market for leaf tobacco.
Here's the complication: Low tobacco inventories and volatile prices have prompted some cigarette companies to begin dealing directly with planters to guarantee supply. Alliance, however, continues to act as a middleman, buying the leaf, processing it and reselling it to cigarette makers—except when it comes to Japan Tobacco, which does some of its own processing as well. The impact of this shift will become apparent over the next couple of planting seasons, though it's not likely to be as drastic as the decline in the stock, which topped $5.50 in January, suggests.
Alliance's management has said that it is committed to paying down debt and buying back stock. In the September quarter, the company paid down $25 million in debt and repurchased 2.4 million shares, or 3% of shares outstanding. Over the next three or four years, the company could boost earnings by as much as 40 cents a share by lowering interest costs and reducing its share count.
At eight times EPS of $1.40, the stock would be worth $11 a share.
And the downside for the bond is low. Scott Barbee who owns it in the Aegis Value fund, notes that the issue is backed by about $1 billion in tobacco inventory. While smoking is risky, this bond is not.

"Over the Huesca Pyrenees Lammergeiers"
Daniel is a passionate young bird photographer who presents his work on the Bearded Vulture spectacularly, his work is in the Pyrenees on the Spanish side.
© José Daniel Fernández
How did your love of wildlife start?
From about 7-8 years old I have been interested in wildlife. My father was a hunter, but also a good naturalist, and since I was little boy I would travel with him, (expeditions, meetings, field trips) he would teach me all about the mountains he knew and its wildlife. When I was 13 years old I bought my first camera a Nikon F50 and went off into the fields to take pictures of everthing I could.
I suppose now you use a different camera?
Yes!, shortly after I bought a Nikon D80 and started to perfect my technique, a few years ago I got a Nikon D300 which I use to this day with these lenses, SIGMA 100-300mm and SIGMA 500mm F.4 F . 4.5. Today I started working with a Nikon VR 500mm F.4
What type of photography appeals to you most?
As I'm still young and have a lot of energy I like walking in the mountains on long routes. My interest is in the world of birds, especially raptors and the closer to the peaks the better … The landscapes and views are for when I'm older!!!
Any kind of bird in particular?
Well, although I have a passion for large raptors such as Bonelli's Eagle or Lammergeier, (I love it, it drives me mad) , however it is a small predator the Great Grey Shrike. Maybe since I was attacked by one of them it seems to me a fascinating bird.
You have an awesome photo collection! Do you work at this professionally?
No, I just do this as an amateur for pure personal satisfaction and because I am passionate about wildlife and birds.
Although, the truth is that my profession in the Mountain Rescue Group of the Civil Guard allows me to maintain a close contact permanently with nature and this helps me to know the wildlife in its natural environment.
Do you publish your photographic work somewhere?
I do not have much time. Some years ago I published a few things on internet forums like Fotonatura and now currently I collaborate with the project Birding Murcia. I'm thinking of creating a virtual platform to show my work on the internet. I would like to plan something more professional and I am also increasingly interested in sharing work and experiences.
Finally, tell us something about the work we see on this page?
All the photography is of the Vultures in the Pyrenees of Huesca and were undertaken in a number of long sessions using the Nikon D300 and combining the different lenes that I mentioned earlier. Indeed, these photo shoots require a great sacrifice, long walks, long waits, large doses of patience and sometimes cold, very cold … But the effort is always worthwhile!

I've appointed SD towel monitor in this house.
Actually, I've appointed him towel AND toilet roll monitor!
To be perfectly honest it's a self appointed errm 'appointment' ...
SD is obsessed I tell you!!!
I've mentioned before that he thinks towels work on a kind of rota system.
in use and used and I DO understand the theory behind it, honestly I do
I just don't necessarily think it's a sound theory!
I like MY towel clean - I do not wish to use a USED towel when I climb all shiny and new from the shower.
I do not buy into this (predominantly) male thing of sniffing items to check for freshness.
If you feel the need to sniff it then it ain't clean!!
If you asked SD he could tell you the exact position and colour of each 'in use' towel in the house.
Large blue towel - hanging on the back of the bathroom door (where it will NOT dry properly due to not being spread out).
white towel - hanging over banister where I will brush against it as I
climb the stairs and it will then slowly slide off and fall down the
stairs as I reach the top forcing me to go back down to pick it up and
re-hang it and forget why I was going upstairs in the first place.
Small pink towel - hanging over spare room door so every time I pull the door shut it bounces open again.
Small blue and white striped towel (no, I do not do matching sets of towels ...) - hanging over my bedroom door (see above).
Invariably when I have a shower I choose a clean, fresh one from the pile in the basket in my bedroom and it drives SD nuts.
have 'in use' towels' he wails - 'what's wrong with using one of the
ones festooning your house in various stages of dampness and
Well, I think you answered your own question there don't you SD?
He's also obsessing about the amount of toilet roll Miss Mac and I go through at the moment.
Actually, we possibly DO go through an excessive amount but it's a girl thing!
from the obvious toilet roll is used for all manner of things female
related. I never remember to buy tissues so if I want to blow my nose
then - toilet roll. I want to take off my makeup but forgot to buy
wipes - toilet roll. I clean the toilet and want to wipe the seat etc -
toilet roll. I spill conditioner, hair dye, moisturiser etc on the
bathroom floor - toilet roll.
I use toilet roll for a multitude of things.
I would of course use kitchen roll for many of those things if SD weren't obsessed with that too!
I spill some water and reached for the kitchen roll.
shouts SD - 'why waste kitchen roll when you have perfectly good used
towels about to go into the washing machine that you could mop the water
up with?'
I drop an egg on the floor and reach for the kitchen roll.
'STOP' he yells - 'Clean it up with the sponge thing under the sink, don't waste kitchen roll'.
I clean the kitchen counter and reach for the kitchen roll to wipe it dry.
'For god's sake - why are you drying the counter when if you leave it it will just dry by itself?'
I've yet to discover anything
SD feels warrants the use of kitchen roll. Perhaps he feels it should
just stand in the corner of the kitchen and be worshipped or something
I hinted the other day that SD might just have a touch of OCD.
He puffed up to twice his original size in righteous indignation.
do NOT have OCD' declared the man who does not own a SINGLE odd sock,
who turns clothes inside out and does up all the zips, buttons AND
empties the pockets before putting things in the washing machine, the
man who can lay his hands on obscure bits of paperwork from 7 years ago
when a government department demands he produce them, the man who sorts his DVD's by gendre, director, title and date, the man who, if he has suggested watching a film at 8:30 and happens to be ready by 8:20 will find another job to do for 10 minutes, the man who writes list and ticks things off as he does them and transfers anything undone to a new list- 'you are just
totally chaotic and disorganised!'
Contemplating 11
clean towels blowing on my washing line while the only remaining ones in
the basket are the nasty scratchy ones I wont use, the yet again empty
cardboard loo roll and kitchen roll holders and the bits of tissue paper
adorning my collection of solitary socks in the washing machine, the pile of DVD's, some just empty cases and some with the wrong film in the box in the shaky pile next to my TV, I have
to concede:
He MAY just have a point ...
THINGS happen, in everyday life, things happen. I know they dont just happen to me. I have a theory .........

Zeenews Bureau
New Delhi: Apparently under attack from the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) for failing to keep its promise on the granting statehood to the Telangana region, the Centre on Wednesday convened an all-party meeting later this month to resolve the vexed issue.
The announcement in this regard was made on wednesday by Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, who told Lok Sabha that the government has convened a meeting of Andhra Pradesh political parties on December 28 to discuss Telangana issue.
The announcement from the government comes in the wake of reports that the TRS, after drawing a blank with the UPA government on the statehood issue, is inching towards the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP.
TRS president and Mahbubnagar MP K Chandrasekhara Rao and his party MP from Medak Vijaya Shanti had earlier declare that they would vote against the UPA government on FDI issue.
"We have declared a war against the Congress party. And we will use every opportunity to create trouble for it," senior TRS legislator and KCR`s nephew T. Harish Rao also warned.
The TRS president gave an indication to his party`s inclination towards the BJP a couple of days ago, when he attended the steering committee meeting of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) and shared the dais with BJP leaders including state unit president G. Kishan Reddy and former union minister Ch. Vidyasagar Rao.
At the TJAC meeting, KCR said the UPA had betrayed the people of Telangana by going back on its announcement made on December 9, 2009, commencing the process for separate state.

There are several reasons people take the time to completely bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs for automobile programs and individual enjoyment. Among the primary reasons individuals invest a lot time, energy, and money restoring 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is contained because particular mustang design. The engine upgrades that were readily available during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Crownsville MD changed the mach mustang from the typical household vehicle into a racing enthusiasts dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate presently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Crownsville MD.Original sales projections projected less than 100,000 units for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however several modifications were made at the standard opening of the brand-new design year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made sufficient difference to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually endured with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Crownsville MD are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were having to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation however, due to the extra equipment required to satisfy new US emission and safety policies, was heavier than the first model. Performance was decreased and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Crownsville MD were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was really huge enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 speed vehicle and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

'You Need A Big Oven!'

That's what she said. After viewing this video I needed a large emesis basin.
The beauty of Islam? 'Once people really learn of the beauty of Islam they will have no other choice but to accept it because they will realize it's part of their nature'. Really?
Did you catch the vulgar language? No accents. Are these people really Palestinian Moslem Arabs? Their dreck speaks for itself.
By the way, Mecca, as in the capital of Islam, which is properly pronounced Ma'kah (with the accent on the second syllable) is one of two Biblical Hebrew words for plague – no small wonder (it's also in the Pesach Haggadah).
My thanks to Gail of the Rubicon 3 blog site for this info.

Oh yeah, Happy New Year.

text: Dear Annie, I had what I thought was a best friend, "Sadie." After my husband and I moved, I still maintained the friendship through visits and several trips to pick her up and bring her to our home. Sadie suffers from panic attacks, and I've gone out of my way to make sure she gets home when she feels she has to return. Sadie's last visit turned unpleasant. She said my 80-year-old husband made a pass at her (my husband denied it, and I believe him) and she wanted to go home immediately, so I drove her -- a six-hour drive, by the way. I telephoned her twice after that, and she hasn't returned my calls. She did, however, send me a letter saying I should leave my husband and if I didn't, she no longer wanted to be friends. I am devastated and angry. I have never done anything to her to deserve this kind of treatment. I've also helped her financially, given her many expensive gifts, and included her in family vacations. I miss our daily two-hour phone calls, but most of all, I miss my best friend. Any suggestions will be appreciated. An Old Lady Dear Lady, How old is Sadie? Is it possible she is suffering from some form of dementia? It could explain her accusation about your husband (are you certain it is false?) and her unwillingness to remain friends. She might not want you to see that she is slipping. Sadie may be reluctant to visit in person. Call or write and say you understand why she may not want to be around your husband, but you are not going to leave him, and you hope you can continue your friendship through calls and letters. That's the best you can hope for. Dear Annie, I have been divorced for one year. For my twin granddaughters' birthday, my daughter-in-law called and said she received two dresses from my ex, and the card was signed by him and his current girlfriend. My daughter-in-law said it was strange receiving a gift from someone the girls don't know. She asked for my thoughts on the subject. I suggested she send a thank-you note and forget about it. Annie, do you think it was in bad taste for the girlfriend to send a gift, considering the children have no connection to her? Or is the girlfriend just trying to suck up to the kids? Florida Grandma Dear Florida, Of course she is trying to suck up to the kids in the hope that someday she will be their stepgrandmother. She also was probably the one who selected and sent the dresses. It is both insensitive and a little pushy for a new girlfriend to put her name on a gift to children who are unaware of her existence, but your idea to "send a thank-you note and forget about it" was perfect. Dear Annie, I read your response to "Need Therapy" in my local paper. In it, you suggested that the writer look for therapists from a number of sources. However, you left out licensed clinical social workers. Recent surveys indicate that 60 percent of all counseling/ psychotherapy done in this country is conducted by clinical social workers. Furthermore, almost all clinical social workers accept Medicaid. It is easy to find an LCSW in your community by calling the local National Association of Social Workers (NASW) in your state, or going to naswdc.org for a listing of state organizations. Arthur J. Frankel, MSW, Ph.D., LCSW, professor, Department of Social Work, University of North Carolina, Wilmington Dear Dr. Frankel, Our apologies for not mentioning licensed clinical social workers. They certainly do provide a valuable service, and we hope our readers will keep them in mind when looking for counseling. ANNIE'S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR

Callinex and Resource Capital Funds Look to Flin Flon Greenstone Belt for a Major OpportunitySpotlight Companies Follow |
Monday brought news that Callinex Mines (CNX:CA) had completed a secondary offering, raising some $3 million. The Canadian mining company completed its non-brokered private placement with the majority of the 10 million new shares getting issued to Resource Capital Funds, a private equity fund with a focus on mining interests.
Some $2 million of that new capital is getting turned right around for investment into a new drilling program in Flin Flon, Manitoba. The Flin Flon Mining District has been actively mined for decades and is home to a Precambrian greenstone belt that's 250 km long and 75 km wide. Callinex acquired their property there through an option agreement in 2011, landing a 100% interest.
The Callinex Flin Flon property has a lot of potential, making the completion of capital raising for exploration there an event of note. The property has two areas with high potential for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. These are formed by volcanic-associated hydrothermal events and frequently create large, multi-metallic ore deposits. Callinex's Flin Flon property is in close proximity to eight former producing VMS deposits, making it one with a lot of potential.
The completion of the offering comes as the company has already kicked off its Phase II drilling program at Flin Flon, receiving permits for seven drill holes at 2,500 meters in depth with the objective of discovering VMS mineralization rich in gold, silver, copper, and zinc. The company also announced the addition of two leading VMS experts to its leadership team in late June.
The recent financing deal consists of 5 million "flow-through" shares and 5 million "non-flow through" shares. The non-flow through shares consist of a non-flow through share in addition to half of a share purchase warrant. Both flow-through and non-flow through shares were offered for $0.30 apiece. The attraction of a private equity firm like Resource Capital Funds is likely a plus for Callinex given the firm's extensive knowledge and experience with mining interests.
"We are excited to welcome the leading mining-focused private equity firm as a major shareholder of Callinex," said Callinex President and CEO Max Porterfield in a news release. "Resource Capital Funds, which manages over US $2.5 billion in assets, is a patient long-term investor that actively partners with companies to build strong, successful and sustainable businesses. We believe RCF's strategic investment in Callinex provides a major competitive advantage that will be instrumental for increasing shareholder value."

I don't want to be a scrooge...
but I'm having a hard time this year. I love decorating for the holidays, but I find it really annoying that there is hardly any Hanukkah stuff available. The few things that I find in store or online are usually pretty ugly and the same year after year. There is usually only one style to choose from, so it's not like you can choose from a few colors or style to match your house. It makes it so hard to have cute decorations when there's nothing to choose from!
So my goal this year is to make a few cute things for my house. Unfortunately, I started late and there's not much time, but I have a few simple ideas I might try if I have time. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!
Only about a week until we light the candles!
And here's Kitty with his Santa hat...
2 comments :
I have to agree with you! I live on the south side, and there isn't a large population of Jewish people down here, but there's very little available for Hannukah decorations. It's a little depressing to see it all so one-sided, even if I love the Christmas stuff. You're really talented, so I'm sure you'll be able to make some cute things for your home! Don't sweat it! Maybe you can even sell some of them for next year.ReplyDelete
Argh, I just made a post about finding hannukah decorators and I missed your blog entirely! It is seriously slim pickings for any kind of decorations. But it's then it's extra nice when I find another blog!ReplyDelete

Stokes Stoked
August 16 2002
By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise
THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included
JJ Stokes is still healthy after the teams entire summer training camp, and no one could be happier than the receiver -except maybe his partner in crime, Terrell Owens. Stokes has been disappointed with his past summer experiences where after training hard all off-season he would get injured in camp. Last season, it happened on the first or second day of camp. Stokes however, survived Stockton this year, and claims a good reason for that was a vacation he took.
Feeling that his muscles were over worked in past training camps, leading to injure, Stokes trained hard all off-season, and then took a weeks vacation before the start of camp. The time off allowed his body to heal and as a result Stokes remained healthy throughout training camp.
One of only 49 players to participate in the 31 practice session the team held, Stokes believes that the increased practice time has allowed him to adjust for the regular season quicker, and believes that hes built a much better rapport with the rest of the starting offense including quarterback Jeff Garcia. After taking a pay cut this off-season, Stokes is pretty sure he will see the ball more in 2002 now that he has practiced more with the starting team.
While Stokes is counting the seconds until the regular season begins, so is star receiver Terrell Owens. Owens is regarded as one of the best in the league at his position, and often sees double and triple coverage. If Stokes emerges as the viable threat he feels he can be, teams may not be able to concentrate so heavily on Owens.
Of course there is still about three weeks to go before the start of the regular season, and Stokes will have to remain healthy though three pre-season games and a ton of practices before he even gets his chance to make a difference in the regular season. Its a long way to go, but so far, so good.

It's "crunch" time. It's almost the end of the semester. Four plus exams, a case study, and two Practicals left in less than 20 days… only 8 days of actual classes. Four finals followed immediately by mediation with the ex, then starting rotations, then my daughter gets married… less than 30 days from today. My friend, Time, must feel the need to push me forward because this Time is coming so quickly now that I keep thinking I'm forgetting to do something. From one minute to the next I have no idea what I am doing. I'm OK for a bit if I just sit and ignore everything and concentrate on only one thing, but then I get sidetracked because of something I forgot.
I have choices still, I have to remind myself that I do still get to choose. I get to choose whether I will "freak out" and yell at my kids while they run around like wild animals in the house while I study. Or I could take a deep breath, send them outside, and refocus. I have the choice whether I let myself feel the overwhelm that is trying to set in or I can notice that it's there and stop and plan a way to go forward. Everything I do is a choice.
Problem is is that some of these choices were made earlier when I felt like I had more time. Habits are hard to change. I fill my calendar from morning to night, from Sunday to Saturday and fail to schedule time for me in. This habit has got to change. Sure, I know I'll be able to make it through the next 30 days. I know I will still be breathing when it's done, aside from an act of God, these next 30 days will pass. At the end I will have passed my classes, successfully mediated with my ex, married off my daughter to a great guy and be in the midst of my rotations. This will all happen. I believe it. I have faith that these next days will pass and I will survive it. I might even be better for it.
In the meantime, though, how do I go through these days with grace. How do I keep a loving tone in my voice and a caring look on my face? How do I be the person I want to be while I travel through this stressful season? These are real questions. I am definitely open for suggestions.
I know I will force myself to sit and write so I don't forget this part of my life, and so I can vent. I know I will put myself to bed with things left undone. I know I will continue to rise in the morning. What do I need to do to keep myself sane? More of what I already do but I have to be deliberate. I have to deliberately get up and drink a cup of tea and read before I start my day. I have to deliberately take myself outside and exercise in the fresh air. I have to deliberately make myself go out with friends despite my exams. I have to remember to live my life around and through the next 30 days.
There are three things I know that help me a lot. Writing, reading and eating on time. Sleep is also a huge factor on the way I feel. If I am sleep deprived I tend toward being depressed. If I am hungry, I tend toward overwhelm. Writing helps me do brain dumps and reading helps me think on different things.
Maybe I'll learn not to schedule everything at once someday. That would be nice, free Time.
So here's to the next 30 days!
thanks for reading,

Evening Sue
This is the first chance I have had to check out the blog today.
I love Gillian - small but perfectly formed and so intricate it will add a dazzling centrepiece or accent to any card.
I will be going back over the rest of todays cards in a while but have had a few visitors today which has been lovely but all I kept thinking was how long are you staying cos I really want to see what Sue has bestowed upon us x
Things were going quite well. Felt a little more energetic this morning when I got up (relatively speaking) and was just sorting myself out for my first peep at what was on offer for today when my first visitor turned up.
A friend I hadn't seen for a while - hubby had dropped her off whilst he went to get a new tyre for the car. She said he wouldn't be long so I wasn't too jittery knowing that I was going to have a short delay keeping me away from the beloved Particraft. She was right he was only gone about half an hour but on his return decided to have a cuppa himself.
An hour later - 12.15 to be precise, my visitors were still dipping rich tea into their second cuppa and I was aware that the second work of art was now on the blog and I had not seen the first of the day. 12.45 and they decided that they had things to do and although it was lovely to see them I will admit to feeling a tad jubilant as I knew as soon as I shut the door behind them I would be able to get my first daily fix of Sue The Genius Einstein Wilson.
As I waved them off a car pulled up and my friend Elaine got out asking if I was up to much???!!! I had been expecting her this afternoon but not until 3.30.
And that is when I could feel the withdrawal symptoms creeping up on me.
You cannot explain to someone who has no interest in or no desire to craft, how important it is to be able to indulge in the delights of a new launch. It would fall on deaf ears and have no impact whatsoever. I was very polite and smiled sweetly and clenched my fists to try and keep my frustration under control.
Imagine how I felt when there was another knock at the door and yet another visitor (uninvited and definitely not anticipated).
I am sure that my attempt at a welcoming smile was much more of a grimace but it seemed to go unnoticed.
I know, I know - I have said it so many times before that I am truly blessed to have the most wonderful friends but there are lines that should just not be crossed. I think I will need to take some time in the near future to explain to my friends that it is a Wilsonette's prerogative to be able to view Sue's blog at leisure without interruption.
It has been lovely to have a catch up but when I was finally left alone at 6.05pm the first thing I did was turn on the lap top to stop the cold turkey reaching a point of no return!!
I am now sitting with my feet up, a jacket potato in the oven and a quiet evening is ahead.
Please excuse my rant but if anyone can understand my thinking - it will be someone on this blog. Lol!
Tomorrow, sadly is the last day of the launch. It has been filled with surprises intrigue and pure delight and I cannot thank you enough Sue x
Happy thoughts and lots of love t you all.
I will try and be more subdued tomorrow and welcome any visitors with open arms but cannot promise.

I can't wait to get my hand on these and have a play. My new craftroom should be ready any day now as I'm busy unpacking and sorting through boxes and loading shelves. I've not left long messages recently as I know this will be busy but I wish you all the best with this collection. All the best pauline ( freedom99)

For some reason I don't seem to take to mandalla type dies (or stamps) with the exclusion of this Gillian die. It is really attractive and I love the rosette centre - it makes all the difference.
I am really enjoying the showcasing of your dies.

Hiya again lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Wow! This card is a vision of intricate loveliness, the Gillian die is fantastically lacey like reminding me of my granny's doily....not many things in my granny's house were worth resurrecting least of all that knitted doll toilet roll cover but I will make an exception for this because you can't go wrong with a piece of elegant lace. I'm in love with the noble circles they provide the perfect frame for this beautiful die. I am looking forward to the day when this gorgeous card has it's day on the blog, it will go straight into my must do folder. Love the EF in the background too.
Yvonne, I've had a similarly frustrating day, I had plans to enjoy a quiet afternoon with Sue lesuirely perusing the blog launch....maybe even being the first to comment!......reading all the comments and passing the time in between watching her recent shows, ahhhhh:-)
But no, my brother and my nephew arrived sporting a bloodied nose, they had planned to go to the park with my mum but had to wait until his nose settled down again. Fine I thought, half an hour and they'll be on their way.....nope, it started snowing so they stayed for not one but two coffees:-( part of me feels mean but I found myself clock watching and thinking that's another post I've missed:-) by the time they left it was dinner time and my afternoon was in tatters, family should realise that all things Sue takes priority:-)
My 80yr old uncle is coming to stay next weekend, he's being brought by my cousin who is going for a mini break in the Highlands for his 50th birthday so my mum has requested that I make him a special card. What do you make for a trucker I ask myself, flowers and stick pins don't seem appropriate somehow. I wish I had the shadow box happy birthday die it would be perfect, I guess that I'll just have to think out of the box for myself instead:-)
Cuddles to Yvonne, Beth, Maria, jan ,Rebecca, Theresa, Wheely bad, Tracy, Alison, P, Frances, Linda, Lynda and lorrainexxxxx

Hi Sue. Well I think this card is gorgeous Sue, and so is your new Gillian die !!! I love how you have made a beautiful rosette with the die. It is a very lacey, delicate looking die. It reminds me so much of the sort of Spirograph patterns I used to make as a child !!! It is very pretty. I love your new double pierced circle dies to. You have made beautiful frames with them on this card. I love the colours you have used. I am looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic creations tomorrow. Thank you Sue. Lots of love from Tres x x x

Hi Sue
Ooooooooh this was this one in the middle I really liked of the other die I really liked the other day!!! (I know what I mean) Just adore it, intricate, fiddly, geometric, foldable, snippable, stickable lushness... Another that is rocking my hypothetical boat in a big way. This has got my hyper excitement levels ramped up in a big way (and just before bedtime too), the possibilities are there to be dreamed of, reminds me a bit of lace crochet or those amazing cut paper wheel things (again, I know what I mean even if no one else does!)
Big hugs to you Sue, hope tomorrow is a restful day xxx
Pam, I got a notification regarding Robbie's latest part of his journey a couple of days ago and I'm delighted for him, I've yet to reply but will get to it asap. All of the family must be so proud of him, such a great young man, hugs to you and to Robbie xxx
My Zaphod Beeblebrox special dark glasses got their super dark, bendy prism new lenses in today and mmmmmmmmmm... Soooo nice on my eyes.... Aaaaah, sweet relief! Didn't get to craft store as I was feeling tired still from Thursday and decidedly migraine so we pitched up in the Starry Buck for coffee and carrot cake via a mobile phone shop to get a price list as I though my old faithful S3 was giving up the ghost. The screen wouldn't rotate and this is a vital function for me. Realised when I got home it was because I had accidentally hit the screen rotate widget off, probably when I called for a cab to get me home on Thursday. The screen was dark, my glasses were dark and the sun was oh so bright so I had fumbled til I found the screen brightness control so I could see to actually dial the thing. Silly, silly me! Juyst a good job that when it comes to tech, I don't make snap decisions (can't say the same for dies, stamps, pretty papers, yarn or fabric though lmao). Luckily the meds did their job today and tonight, touch wood all is as well as it gets :-) should mean after Billy has done his business (sure he's dreaming about eating at present... He's making chewing motions and slurping in his sleep) I can have a half hour reading before I go to sleep. Hoping dearly I can do any sort crafting tomorrow, don't care what it is, I'm getting withdrawn!
Didn't get a chance to read every comment today but sending special hugs and hellos to Tina E and family, Molly and family, Laine, Yvonne, Beth, Frances Fluffycat, Alison, Lynda (Billy sends his regards and a fluffy snuggle!), P, Theresa W, Marg, Tracy, Norah and Rory, txcowgirl and family, Lorraine F, June. If I forgot anyone, I'm sorry- If you are out there and need a hug I got an extra special one just for you. Wishing everyone on the blog a lovely day on Sunday. Hugs,

Welcome Home!
We were away for a few days recently and returned home to find this fellow a few metres away from the house basking in the morning sun. It is probably not the same Australian Scrub (Amethystine Python) noted in the Watchful Eye blog. It seems smaller. I was not willing to wrestle with it to determine its precise size! It seemed quite relaxed at our presence.

Open-Source Hardware Raises Its Ugly, Homemade HeadSubmitted by Ty on October 17, 2007 - 8:00am
"Software has become easier to customize in the past decade, but hardware, for the most part, remains closed: Apple's battle to keep people from hacking the iPhone is a case in point.

I have gfxcardstatus installed with growl (so it shows a little alert whenever the graphics switches), and it happens every time the graphics switch to discrete, and only then. Curious if anyone else is seeing this happen on their laptop? Mine's a late-2011 15" - if it might be hardware specific. To me it seems like for whatever reason the color-scheme is jumping around when the discrete is on. I tried playing around with the screen calibration, and whenever the discrete was on, the blue-shift option made absolutely no change.

Guernsey pension and benefits may rise by 3.6%
Guernsey States members are being asked to approve a 3.6% increase in the island's pensions.
The Social Security Department has recommended a £6.72 a week rise for next year.
If proposals are approved next month the full rate pension for a single person will increase to £192.85 a week and to £289.45 for couples.
Other benefits, including sickness, unemployment and bereavement, are also being recommended for a 3.6% rise.
A rise of 3.1% has been suggested for non-contributory benefits, such as supplementary benefit, family allowances and attendance and invalid care allowances.
'Strike a balance'
Social Security Minister Allister Langlois said: "We understand that our pensioners would welcome a higher increase, especially with the recent news about electricity prices.
"But we have to strike a balance between the level of benefits being paid out and the long-term implications for the fund."
Social Security have also recommended an increase of £50 in the supplementary benefit limitation, taking it from a maximum of £450 per week to £500 per week.
This is expected to benefit 43 families currently affected by the limit.
The department has also recommended the introduction of maximum rent allowances for some supplementary benefit households.
Social Security has also proposed removing the lower age limit for entitlement to bereavement allowance as currently a widow or widower has to be aged 40 or older when widowed to receive the 52 week bereavement allowance.
Although it would continue to not be available to pensioners.

Warrior Dash is excited to return to 24 North American locations in 2017! Join us in our 9th season as we add new locations, introduce some fun new obstacles (and the return of many fan-favorites), and encourage you to party like a Warrior at our festival after conquering the Battleground. Remember: anyone 10 years or older on race day can participate. The festival and spectator viewing is open to all ages.
With 12 obstacles (varying by location) making up the 5k Warrior Dash course, many signature obstacles will return to the Battleground in 2017 including Goliath, Alcatraz, Pipeline, Fisherman's Catch, and more. Some old favorites will have new elements, adding to the challenge and excitement. And some brand-new obstacles will debut in 2017. Here's a sneak peek at a few:
Pallet Jacked:
Traverse across the swaying decks hovering above the water below. Carefully cross the pond as the platforms swing and shake as you go. Nervous? No worries! The water will cushion your fall. If you make it across, you'll be one step closer to the finish line.
Magic Carpet Ride:
Ever wanted to walk on water? Cross the wobbling, slippery mat to get to the other side. Your three wishes should be for core strength, balance, and speed to fly on the Magic Carpet Ride.
Bridge The Gap:
Stretch as tall as you can to reach the next plank. Summit the top of the pyramid and reach for the other side. Work on those calf muscles and hamstrings to successfully Bridge The Gap!
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Warrior Dash continues our philanthropic commitment with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Participants can sign-up and fundraise as a St. Jude Warrior. In doing so, gain access to the St. Jude VIP tent, with private showers, and additional benefits. Learn more and become a St. Jude Warrior. All donations go towards the St. Jude Red Frog Events Proton Therapy Center, which opened on the St. Jude campus in Memphis in late 2015. We're excited for Warrior Dash to return to Tennessee in 2017, and hope to have many St. Jude supporters join us on race day.
A Kick-Ass Festival
The Warrior Hangout offers something for everyone – participants and spectators alike. New in 2017 is the Stein Standoff and Tire Flipping. In Stein Standoff, ten Warriors will test their strength as they hold up their stein with a straight arm. Bend, spill or drop the full stein, and lose the standoff. Winner walks away with a stein full of beer. Warriors can test their strength or race their friends with Tire Flipping.
Enjoy a live DJ, more photo opportunities, lawn games and a full lineup of contests like tug-o-war, dancing, best beard, costume, and more. With more shade and seating options available, the festival afterparty remains free of charge and open to the public.
We will also have new food vendors and menu options for 2017. While this means we will not be doing our Warrior Wing Eating contest this year, we're really excited about all the great options and different activities available in the festival. For any participant who has already pre-purchased the Warrior Wing plate add-on, we will have a food voucher available within your packet at pick-up.
Participant Swag and Medal
Get your new finisher t-shirt for 2017 Warrior Dash, and show off how you conquered the Battleground. You'll also still get our signature fuzzy helmet and one free beer with registration (for 21+). A new year brings a new twist on participant medals with Warrior Dash's 2017 edition featuring a cube-shape that can double as a die to promote fun workouts, training routines, and more.

Consideration for disposal: market value rule: company reorganisations
Where, on a reorganisation within TCGA92/S126, there is consideration for the new holding, TCGA92/S128 determines the treatment of that consideration. Where the issue of shares was otherwise than by way of a bargain made at arm's length TCGA92/S128 (2) operates so that any consideration paid in excess of the increase in market value of the shares (that is the difference between the market value of the new shares immediately after the reorganisation and the market value of the original shares immediately before the reorganisation) is disregarded. The main instructions on TCGA92/S128 (2) are at CG51840-CG51847.
It will be worth considering the application of these rules where the issued shares are disposed of for an amount less than the consideration within a short time of the issue.

Pope Francis Linked to Exocet Missile Acquisition, According to British Government SourceSalem-News.com
Margaret Thatcher's Death and Queen's Pending Resignation are Connected.
(BRUSSELS / LONDON) - Whatever it is that dwells in Rome behind the mask of religion and empire is inexorably being revealed. And its mask slipped further yesterday with more startling revelations involving the new Pope Francis, Jorge Bergoglio. A reliable source in the British civil service who has provided accurate internal leaks in the past to our Tribunal has revealed the following to an ITCCS officer in London:
Commencing in September of 1981, the present Pope Francis 1 acted as an agent for the Argentine military Junta to acquire Exocet missiles which were used against the Royal Navy flotilla during the Falklands War the following year.
During September and October of 1981, Pope Francis, as then-priest Jorge Mario Bergoglio, applied through his friend Roberto Calvi, a high official in the Vatican Bank, for the funds that allowed the Argentine Junta to buy "at least twenty" of the Exocet missiles at a cost of over $200 million, according to the British source.
The same source stated to an ITCCS officer in London on April 9, 2013,
"The Junta knew the British would oppose their seizure of the Malvinas so they got their man Father Bergoglio to get them the missiles, since he was friends with Roberto Calvi. Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister in 1982, and both she and Buckingham Palace knew that it was Bergoglio who had lined up the missile funding for (General) Videla. Thatcher in fact approved an MI-6 plan to eliminate the priest, Father Bergoglio, but that fizzled out. But now that same priest has become the Pope, and Thatcher just suddenly died, and the Queen is stepping down under rumored assassination fears, after she had already cancelled her March 6 trip to Rome when it became clear that Bergoglio would become Pope. These are not coincidences."
After the Exocet missile deal was successfully concluded, the relatively unknown cleric, Fr. Jorge Bergoglio, was rapidly elevated in the Argentine Catholic hierarchy. He became the head of the entire Roman Catholic Church in Argentina in 1998 as part of his reward.
On June 17, 1982 - just two months after the start of the Falklands War - Bergoglio's Vatican bank associate Roberto Calvi was found dead, hanging under Blackfriar's Bridge in London.
Two books have confirmed the Vatican Bank and Roberto Calvi's link to the Argentine Exocet deal: In God's Name by David Yallop, and The Entity: Five Centuries of Secret Vatican Espionage by Eric Frattini.
Is the Jesuit Pope Francis linked to the deaths of Roberto Calvi and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and to an assassination plan against Queen Elizabeth? This evidence and recent events certainly suggest so.
On April 10, 2013, an official inquiry about these facts and questions was sent by our Tribunal to the Papal Office and to the Vatican Secretary of State. Our inquiry has gone unanswered.
Stay tuned for more evidence and updates at www.itccs.org .
