When The Real Housewives of Atlanta headed on down to Jamaica this season, the feud brewing between Kenya Michaels and Kim Fields reached a near fever pitch thanks to Kenya's pettiness over Cynthia Bailey's commercial shoot—and it also took on some collateral damage.
You'll recall the evening spent around the pool when Kenya made some serious allegations about Kim's husband Christopher Morgan's sexuality, only brave enough to do so with her enemy far away in her hotel room, preparing for the morning's commercial shoot. It was an ugly sight, with the other ladies joining in to pile on with speculation over Kenya's insistence that "for the last 10 years, there have been pervasive rumors about Kim's husband."

Since joining Twitter in April, San Marco Train has earned the ire of an audience far from the standstill in San Marco. No matter how slowly it moves, San Marco Train seems to beat Northeast Floridians to the crossing all the livelong day. The list of locals who have succumbed to the loquacious locomotive is as long as the 5 o'clock train.
As Folio Weekly owns the right-of-way to irreverence in the 904, and San Marco Train has parked its "resplendent"-its word, not ours-caboose right in the middle of our turf, we monitored the situation from a safe distance on the Northbank, where the Train could not keep us from press conferences, laser light shows and handbell choir performances. For a time, we were content to watch from the roadside as the Train inched ever so slowly into the collective view. Truth be told, some of us delighted in the audacity of the "Train: Make America Late Again @SanMarcoTrain #MALA" signs placed at its infamous crossings, and took a perverse sort of pleasure in the Twitter battles inspired by the forced stillness which characterizes trips to San Marco.
But eventually we reached an impasse. First the Train declared war on FW, accusing us of the theft of its signs and of owning Scarface posters. Then it came after the editor. This was a bridge too far. The crossing had come down. We could no longer idle silently as the Train delighted in making the people of San Marco miss meetings, lunch dates, birthdays, kickoffs, colonoscopies, happy hours and children's recitals. It was time for action.
Utilizing sleuthing skills honed over years covering sneaks, cheats and, slipperiest of all, hipsters, we tracked down the Train wreaking truancy across San Marco and beyond. The Train was at once receptive and evasive. Patience paid off and the Train permitted our inspection of its machinations on the condition that we not disclose the location of the interview. We can say that it was conducted during rush hour somewhere along its daily track.
FW: Why did you join Twitter?
San Marco Train: It's where the people of San Marco post their most egregious criticisms of the most elegant and resplendent train.
Are there others like you?
The movement, which is predicated on lack of movement, is growing. We're all locomotivated to grow the cause.
Why do you insist on Making America Late Again?
San Marco is a beautiful neighborhood. We're giving people more time to enjoy it.
Should people be grateful to you?
We think so. Bold Bean is in a kerfuffle over parking. Our mission is to turn San Marco into a parking lot. Problem solved.
Some have suggested that your prowess at creating lateness is second only to Main Street Bridge. What do you say to that?
That's our Jill Stein.
What's your best side?
The slowest one.
Crowning achievement of cunctation?
When we happen to coincide with the school buses of San Marco. We work in tandem. Because you have to stop. It's the law. Also, whenever we stop Melissa Ross from selling tote bags.
Is there one that got away?
The Great Train Robbery would have been fully absconding with our signs. By working overtime inconveniencing the people of San Marco, we were able to afford new signs.
When will your mission be fulfilled?
The day San Marco residents finally acknowledge resistance is futile.
What's your take on high-speed trains?
What's the point?
Steam, coal or electric?
We run on honked horns, screamed expletives and the frustration of the people of San Marco, which is the greenest, greenest source. So you're welcome, San Marco. Here's your inconvenient truth.
What's your response to the people who cut around you by taking the bridge?
We'll find you.
What's your favorite song?
"The Waiting" by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Skyway-friend or foe?
Once they start delaying more, we can start engaging them in the Make America Late Again conversation. Frankly, they're too efficient for our tastes.

In honor of Hillary Clinton officially becoming the Presidential Nominee of the Democratic Party, the Hillary Clinton campaign has launched the 45 Pin Project to design Hillary Campaign Buttons.
The campaign button is as old as American politics itself, and the first campaign buttons read "Long Live the President" over George Washington's initials. The choice for 45 pins is in honor of Hillary running to be the 45th President of the United States. The pins vary from incredibly patriotic to clever slogans, such as "Forward, together" written under an American flag or another one that reads "Hillary Trumps 'em all."
Designer Robynne Raye even created a Hillary button for Bernie supporters that reads, "Still Love Bernie, Voting for Hillary." The 45 Pin Project encompasses many of Hillary Clinton's campaign stances and the diversity of issues and demographics being targeted during the upcoming election.

World's Oldest Person with Sickle Cell Disease, Asiata Onikoyi-Laguda Clocks 90
At 90, Asiata Onikoyi-Laguda is believed to be the oldest person with sickle cell disease in the world. She was born in November 1925, the same year as Margaret Thatcher, first female British prime minister and Malcolm X, the African American civil rights activist. At that time, the average life expectancy of children born with sickle cell disorder was just five years, but she has defied the odds to live up to 90.<img class="alignnone wp-image-1712" src="http://naijanews360.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Asiata-Onikoyi-Laguda-0.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px" srcset="http://naijanews360.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Asiata-Onikoyi-Laguda-0-300×242.jpg 300w, http://naijanews360.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Asiata-Onikoyi-Laguda-0-768×620.jpg 768w, http://naijanews360.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Asiata-Onikoyi-Laguda-0.jpg 838w" alt="Asiata Onikoyi-Laguda 0″ width="668″ height="539″/>
Due to the high level of illiteracy at the time of her birth, she was never diagnosed with sickle cell. She endured years of pain, which kept her away from school till she was 12 years old. Her pain was so severe and frequent that she would beg God to let her die. After primary school, she enrolled at Queens College Lagos, where she met her husband Bolaji Alakija, who later became a doctor.
She did not know she had the sickle cell disease until after she had given birth to five of her six children. Her husband, Dr Alakija, gave her pills including folic acid to take every day, but kept the nature of her illness away from her for a long time
Dr Alakija had 10 wives and 27 children, when he died, she married Alhaji Laguda, but she never had a child with her second husband. She is the second of four children born from AbdulYekeen Ishola Onikoyi, a prince of the Onikoyi ruling house, and Aishat Alake Onikoyi from Kudeti, Ibadan. In spite of her illness, she has outlived her parents, husbands and siblings except one.
According to SCD Journal, in spite of the disease:
– She is under no dietary restrictions whatsoever: eats salt, eggs, meat, sugar, fried food, etc as she likes
– Her blood pressure hovering around 160/90
– She has performed the holy pilgrimage to Mecca 13 times and Umrah half a dozen times
– She observed the annual 30-day Ramadhan fast until she was over 88 and pressured to discontinue by her children
– She reads Bible, Quran everyday with glasses but moves around without glasses
– She takes public transport in super-c,haotic Lagos
– She gave birth to six children, all by normal delivery. When only son passed away in August 2014 aged 59, she accepted the will of Allah but prayed, "Please let the rest of the children you gave me outlive me."

Nigeria's secret police, the Department of State Services, alias SSS, on Saturday night blocked the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, from boarding a Turkish airline flight for a planned trip to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj..
According to Premium Times
Operatives of the SSS based at the Aminu Kano International Airport also seized Mr. Sanusi's passport and told him they would not allow him to travel abroad unless they received clearance from their Abuja headquarters, this newspaper learnt.
The SSS' action however appears a contravention of the April 3 judgment of a Federal High Court in Lagos, which restrained the agency and the Nigeria Police from arresting or harassing the CBN Governor or seizing his passport.
A spokesperson for Mr. Sanusi, Muyiwa Adekeye, told PREMIUM TIMES Saturday night that the governor had arrived the Kano airport for the 11: 10p.m. Turkish Airlines flight to Turkey where he would have connected another flight to Saudi Arabia.
But after the CBN governor had been checked in by the airline and was about to complete immigration formalities, his passport was confiscated by the SSS operatives at the immigration cubicle and told he could not travel.
"The SSS officials were shown the certified true copies of the court order which barred them from harassing or arresting him," Mr. Adekeye said. "But the officers said they have no choice in the matter and that they were only acting on instruction from above that they should not allow the governor to travel."
Mr. Adekeye said when Mr. Sanusi insisted on reading the court order to the operatives, the officers simply disappeared with his passport and failed to return.
The development caused confusion at the airport and delayed the Turkish Airline flight. Mr. Sanusi's luggage was however later unloaded to allow the flight proceed on its journey without the embattled CBN Governor.
Contacted for comments Saturday night, the spokesperson for the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, said she was not aware of the matter.
"I don't know about that please," Ms. Ogar told PREMIUM TIMES on telephone.

POTSDAM, NY (09/12/2017) (readMedia)-- The State University of New York at Potsdam has once again been named one of the best regional universities in the Northern United States by U.S. News & World Report.
SUNY Potsdam was ranked in the top tier of public and private institutions in the Northern Regional Universities category in the 2018 edition of "America's Best Colleges," released today by U.S. News Media Group. This is the nineteenth consecutive year that the College has been recognized in the rankings.
U.S. News & World Report bases the Best Colleges rankings on assessment by peer institutions, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
In addition to its ranking in the regional universities category, SUNY Potsdam was also recognized on the following U.S. News & World Report lists: Best Colleges for Veterans, Best Value Schools and Top Public Schools.
"Each of SUNY's 64 colleges and universities help our students find their purpose and their passion. Whether it's in research, education, outreach, or engagement, our colleges and universities strive to achieve excellence in everything they do," said SUNY Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson. "We are thrilled that so many of our SUNY campuses have again received favorable rankings by U.S. News & World Report. While we appreciate that rankings are one indication of quality, it does help demonstrate that SUNY is one of the best national education systems. Congratulations to each of the SUNY campuses recognized by the 2018 U.S. News and World Report rankings."
The news organization classifies regional universities as public and private colleges that provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's programs, but offer few, if any, doctoral programs. The 659 regional universities that U.S. News & World Report examined for this year's guide were ranked against their peer group in four geographic regions -- the North, South, Midwest and West, and rated as either top or second tier.
The U.S. News & World Report rankings will be published in the September issue of the magazine, which hits newsstands today. For more information about "America's Best Colleges," visit www.usnews.com/colleges.
Founded in 1816, The State University of New York at Potsdam is one of America's first 50 colleges -- and the oldest institution within SUNY. Now in its third century, SUNY Potsdam is distinguished by a legacy of pioneering programs and educational excellence. The College currently enrolls approximately 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Home to the world-renowned Crane School of Music, SUNY Potsdam is known for its challenging liberal arts and sciences core, distinction in teacher training and culture of creativity.

Drivers Call for Harsher Penalties for Transgressors
PORTLAND – If you're driving in the Greater Portland area, about one in three drivers in the cars next to you are likely breaking the law by using a cell phone without a hands-free device, and about one in four are texting or e-mailing while driving.
And according to a poll from Northwest-based PEMCO Insurance, nearly half of Portland-area drivers are upset enough at the prospect of sharing the road with distracted drivers that they believe lawmakers should treat those caught talking, texting or e-mailing while driving more harshly.
"Distracted-driving laws are becoming common across the U.S., and for good reason," said PEMCO spokesperson Jon Osterberg. "Distracted driving is dangerous, and while our poll results show that most drivers agree, we need to raise awareness to help lower the number of drivers who are focused on their phones rather than on the road."
Of the Portland-area drivers surveyed in the PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll, 31 percent said they use their cell phones without a hands-free device while driving, and of those violators, 26 percent admit they use their cell phone to text or e-mail while they're behind the wheel.
Still, a full 42 percent of respondents said that texting violations – a primary offense in Oregon – are serious enough to warrant more than the accompanying $142 fine. And a majority – 55 percent – agree that violations for handheld phones and texting should appear on a driver's record.
In January 2010, it became a primary offense to use a handheld mobile device while driving in Oregon, which includes texting and sending e-mails from a cell phone and talking without a hands-free accessory. Fines of at least $142 are levied against violators, and the current law mandates that the citation become part of a driver's record.
PEMCO's poll found that almost one in three drivers - 32 percent - think the fine should be at least $250 for texting while driving, and 15 percent think $500 or higher is a more appropriate fine for violating texting laws.
One-third of all Portland drivers agree that merely talking on a handheld phone while driving warrants a fine greater than $142.
Of course, those who are more inclined to commit the offenses are more likely to believe the current fines are excessive, according to the poll.
Only 13 percent of all Portland-area drivers said the fine should be reduced because the texting offense isn't serious enough to justify the $142 price tag.
According to the poll, 43 percent of those who often or sometimes text while driving think the $142 fine for texting is too high, compared to the 8 percent of drivers who rarely or never text in the car.
Drivers under age 35 are also significantly more likely than their older counterparts to say that the fine – for either texting or talking – is too steep.
To learn more about PEMCO's poll and to view a summary of the results, visit www.pemco.com/poll, where the public is invited to take an informal version of the poll to see how their own responses compare to those collected by FBK Research of Seattle in August 2011.
About the PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll
PEMCO Insurance commissioned this independent survey that asked Washington and Oregon drivers several questions about driving habits and attitudes toward current Northwest issues. The sample size, 601 respondents in Washington and 600 respondents in the Portland metro area, yields an accuracy of +/- 4.1 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. In other words, if this study were conducted 100 times, in 95 instances the data will not vary by more than +/- 4.1 percent.
About PEMCO Insurance
PEMCO Insurance, established in 1949, is a Seattle-based provider of auto, home, boat, life, and umbrella insurance to Northwest residents. PEMCO Insurance is sold by community agents throughout the region and through PEMCO offices. For more information, visit www.pemco.com.

French food to dine forJuly 16, 2015
One thing about the French: they know how to eat. Not only do they take their time at meals, lingering over each course, drinking water, sipping wine, and finishing with espresso, but the ingredients are fresh and local and the preparation superb. Even the most mundane dish–French fries, or "frites," as they're called in France–taste better. I don't know if France has the equivalent of Sysco or Food Services of America providing processed foods to restaurants, but I'd be willing to bet against it. French food is fresh food!
In my first week in Paris and my first days in Creuse, a region in the countryside, I've had some fabulous meals. Actually, everything I've eaten has been fantastic. Here's a sampler:

The lake, situated in Afar, Ethiopia, has had a constant waft given that the fact that 1906 and lies within the 2,011-foot-high Erta Ale volcano, or else quite often called the Smoking Mountain.

Shattering its unrealistically high estimate of $20,000, Napoleon Bonaparte's engagement ring to his future wife Joséphine in 1796, of the 'Collection of Prince Victor Napoleon and Princess Clementine of Belgium,' sold all told, for more than $1 million. Held on Sunday, reportedly the 250th anniversary of Joséphine's birth, the Osenat auction house in Fontainebleau chose to honor her birthdate. Even though the value of the ring was described as "modest" by the auction house, purchased by someone who had not yet acquired great wealth and power, its historical significance attracted diverse international interest.

Miranda July is an interesting case, isn't she? Sometimes I don't know what to make of her and her work, and I find that she can be pretty divisive. There are some that find her to be gentle, profound, unique, and have a strong voice, while others may find her to be too whimsical, awkward, etc. And I happen to be right in the middle. I absolutely adore some of her work, but other times I just can't connect with it and think, "Okay… that's enough of you for a while." And while the collection of stories in No One Belongs Here More Than You had a few short stories that really struck me, overall there were more misses than hits, and I couldn't help but feel like everything in it was slowly dragging me down.
It is true that July has a distinct voice, and there is a skill to capturing small, single moments in a way that make you see them as so significant. In many instances, however, these moments in July's stories center around her character's sensuality or instances of sexual intimacy, which more often than not came across as somewhat awkward to me, which made me feel awkward reading them. And that is not to say I am uncomfortable reading about sex in any way, but in this case I was simply put off by something in almost all of the pieces included in this collection. In a way, I guess, I could only handle reading about and imagining so many uncomfortable women (and one, singular male protagonist), slowly and knowingly walking towards their own self-destruction, or into a place of more confusion and unknowing than they started in, but not in a inspirational way: in a disconcerting way. Though through some reflection, perhaps I feel a bit put-off by this behavior due to recognizing my own manner of working through life and issues, which may or may not follow a similar pattern. Yikes.
Yet, amongst all the other seeming misses and inclusions I just couldn't connect with, there was one longer story around the middle of the book that really struck me for some reason, titled: "Something that Needs Nothing." This story focuses on two teenage girls who run away from their suburban lives to live together in the city. The phases and realizations in their relationships and the way in which the protagonist found strengths and weaknesses made me think of things that, while not exactly the same, bore resemblances to my own life. I was even inspired to write a poem (which may later become a song??) about the things and feelings this story brought up in my own mind. And it's kind of powerful when you can be inspired to make your own creative response to the work of someone else (kind of like how a dancer may be moved to choreograph in a particular way after hearing a certain piece of music).
The fact remains, however, that overall I did not find No One Belongs Here More Than You to be a very strong collection of short stories. And that is a shame, seeing as I really thought I was going to like it more than I did after having been exposed to some of July's work before. Though perhaps it was the fact that many of the narrative voices came across as the same to me, and after a number of stories and a number of different characters, it all just felt a little flat. Or maybe it was the fact that I could be intrigued and immersed in a tale, only to come upon a line that I wish was never included, or drew me out of the story completely with the way it came across. I guess there are a lot of things that are keeping me from really loving this collection by July, save for a few of the brief pieces included.
In any case, here are a few quick lines about what/who each of the remaining stories in the collection focus on:
- "The Shared Patio": a woman becomes transfixed by the man who lives in the building below her and yearns for a relationship with him.
- "The Swim Team": a young woman reflects on the time she taught a group of older people how to swim without a swimming pool.
- "Majesty": a woman fantasizes about one of the royal princes and imagines how she might meet him on day.
- "The Man on the Stairs": a woman hears someone slowly coming up her stairs in the middle of the night and contemplates how to face him.
- "The Sister": an older man hopes to meet a co-worker's sister in order to form a relationship with her, yet the sister is elusive to meet.
- "This Person": a hypothetical person has a celebration thrown in their honor, yet this individual wants to do nothing but retreat into themselves.
- "It Was Romance": a woman goes to a class to learn how to be romantic, yet finds that perhaps romance is not necessarily what we think it is.
- "Something That Needs Nothing": as described above, the relationship between two young girls who run away together.
- "I Kiss a Door": a woman learns a secret about a past friend of hers.
- "The Boy From Lam Kien": a woman lets a young neighborhood boy spend time examining her world.
- "Making Love in 2003": a young woman wants to publish a story of a dark being she was once intimate with, only to find herself believing that one of her students is this same being reborn.
- "Ten True Things": a woman takes a sewing class to try and get to know her boss' wife better.
- "The Moves": a young woman reflects on the lessons her father taught her regarding having sex with a woman.
- "Mon Plaisir": a couple who have been together for a long time decide to become background actors together as a way to make their relationship more interesting.
- "Birthmark": a woman removes a large birthmark from her face, only to contemplate on what this action means and how her identity is still tied to this mark she once had.
- "How To Tell Stories To Children": a woman becomes like a second mother to a child of her friend, which is inevitably a strange family situation.

Icom M25 Handheld VHF Radio - Gray
Exclusive Float & Flash Feature
Icom pioneered the floating VHF marine radio and others followed. The IC-M25 has a flashing light feature that activates when the radio hits water, even if the power is off! If you drop this floating radio overboard, it's easier to find than ever, day or night.
The IC-M25's LCD is 30% larger than its predecessor, the IC-M24 and shows clearly large channel number and status icons. The buttons on the front panel are well laid out and provide simple and straightforward operation.
A standard USB connector (Micro-B type) is used for charging the IC-M25. Compatible Cigarette lighter cables or mobile batteries for charging smartphones or other devices can be used with the IC-M25.
The built-in 1500mAh lithium-ion battery allows 11 hours (approx.) of long operation*. * Typical operation with Tx (Hi): Rx: standby=5:5:90
The optional waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-213, provides commercial grade convenience while mounting the radio around the waist. The radio floats even when the HM-213 is attached.
The IC-M25 provides a powerful 550mW (typical) audio output and received voice can be heard loud and clear.

Between its museums, historical sites and beautiful beaches, Mykonos is a dream holiday destination. You will soon find there are plenty of activities available, but we have selected 5 that we feel you should not miss.
Delos Island, combined with a visit to the uninhabited islands of Rhenia, where four pristine sandy beaches offer shelter from the buzzing Mykonos beach life. Visit the archaeological site and museum at Delos, where Mycenaean remains offer a unique insight into the history of this fascinating island, known as the birth place of Apollo.
Little Venice is a romantic and pretty area close to the sea and best known for its quaint, medieval houses. This is the perfect spot to watch the sunset over a refreshing cocktail before sampling the Mykonos nightlife. Don't forget to visit the famous Mykonos windmills, set on a small hill, a short walk away from Little Venice.
Explore the streets of Mykonos town and the church of Paraportiani. Located in the centre of Chora, this church is a visual feast: a cluster of four smaller ones with indiscernible partitions. While away the afternoon meandering through the alleys filled with cosy boutiques, and look out for local resident Petros the pelican, who has enjoyed his status as island mascot for many years.
Armenistis Lighthouse, built in 1891 and still in working order, offers stunning views from the top (accessible by a slightly rickety ladder). Continue north to the beaches of Fokos and Agios Sostis, which offer a calmness and tranquility reminiscent of Mykonos in days gone by.
Full Moon parties are a must in Mykonos, and take place at the best night clubs around the island. Ask our team for information on upcoming parties.

As the name suggests, this will be a theme challenge! It may be a seasonal theme, it may be a holiday theme, it may be a Biblical theme…..it could be about anything! I guess it just depends what inspires me at the moment of my decision for the monthly theme! I want it to be FUN, and maybe we will be able to learn a few things along the way!
Our challenge theme for December 2010 is "PRECIOUS GIFTS." December is the month that we celebrate Christmas here in the USA, but this is not a Christmas Holiday challenge, necessarily. We celebrate the most precious Gift of all, the LORD Jesus Christ, our Savior during December. Although it is not the exact day of His birth, December 25th represents that day. And we remember God's Gift to mankind by giving gifts to others. ALL of us have something that we consider to be PRECIOUS, I am sure! God has given each of us precious life, if nothing else! And, the Bible tells us in James 1:17 – "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
I was curious to see if the Bible mentioned any "precious gifts" anywhere within it's pages and found the KJV (King James Version) has the word "precious" 76 times and even a few other instances where there is a different word used in the translation, but the original word is the same word translated as "precious" in other verses. Clear as mud? Anyway, following are a few of the verses I found that I thought you might be interested in reading.
In Genesis 24:53, Rebekah, her brother and mother received precious gifts from Abraham's servant in his search for a wife for Isaac. In 1 Kings 10:10, the Queen of Sheba gave King Solomon precious stones. In 2 Chronicles 21:3, King Jehoshaphat gave his sons gifts of silver, gold and precious things.
Believers have "received" some "PRECIOUS" things from God as His children. To list a few:
Psalm 36:7 – We have God's loving kindness (this is one of the verses where the word translated as "precious" in other verses has been translated as "excellent" in this verse.)
Psalm 49:8 – The redemption of our soul is precious. AMEN and AMEN!!!
Psalm 116:15 – The death of His saints is precious to the LORD.
Psalm 139:17 – God's thoughts toward us are precious.
Isaiah 28:16 and 1 Corinthians 3:10, 11 – Jesus is a precious cornerstone.
1 Peter 1:19 – Jesus' blood is precious (without the shedding of blood, there is NO remission of sins!)
2 Peter 1:4 – We have been given precious promises of God.
So, you can see that there are LOTS of "PRECIOUS" things we could scrap about. Maybe if we break it down by definition, this will help you to be able to scrap about some "PRECIOUS GIFTS" this month.
According to Webster – "precious" means of great value or high price
According to Webster – "gift" means something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation. One of the synonyms listed is "freebie." And I KNOW you like that word! :D I think of it in this manner – a gift is anything you have received that you didn't earn.
So, to me a "PRECIOUS GIFT" is something I have received that I didn't earn that is VERY valuable and I wouldn't take ANY amount of money for it. I hope these ideas have inspired you a bit! And, I can't wait to see what you come up with! You will have to take a picture and post it in the gallery if you do a hybrid project.
Like most challenges, there are a few rules to follow:
1. At least 3 of your elements/papers used must be from CURRENT Faith Sister Designers to qualify for the free gift (see preview below) I will be giving away to those who are qualifying participants. You can use free product from the store, too!

The challenge will be closed at 12:00 MIDNIGHT, EST on the first day of the new month. I will PM a link to the prize to all those participants who qualify!
3. Last, but not least, LET'S HAVE FUN! :D
If at any time you have a question, please post it here in this forum. I will try to get back to you ASAP with an answer.

Hello,I'm wanting to write a driver for lirc to allow me to transmit IR signals via a Global Caché GC-100. In essence, this requires me to communicate with the GC-100 via TCP in response to ioctls (received?) via /dev/lircX.
Can anyone point me in right direction towards achieving this? Is it possible to do everything in userspace? Under Linux, there appears to be something called FUSD, which allows one to write userspace device drivers. Is there anything similar under FreeBSD?
Ideally I'd like to keep the resulting solution as generic as possible, so that it can be integrated into lirc, should anyone wish to.

KISSIMMEE — Visiting Auburndale High School can reserve its post-season football playoff spot by defeating Kissimmee Osceola in a pivotal Class AAAA, District 6 battle at the Silver Spurs Stadium at 8 tonight.
Once-beaten Auburndale (7-1, 2-0) has the upper hand, but Osceola (5-3, 1-1) is not out of the picture. If the Kowboys upset the previously eighth- ranked Hounds and Lakeland Kathleen upends Lakeland Lake Gibson, Osceola will be the district champ.

Jake & Dinos Chapman Prints
Iakovos "Jake" Chapman and Konstantinos "Dinos" Chapman are English artists who work together a sibling duo.
They both attended the University of East London's - now non-existent - Art college at Greengate House in Plaistow. They then Enrolled at the Royal College of Art.
Their early work heavily featured grotesque depictions of child disfigurement, torture and Nazi symbols. They also took work from other artists (e.g. Francisco Goya) and defaced them. The brothers attracted controversy by taking work apparently created by Adolf Hitler and 'prettifying' them with hippie motifs.
In their 2003 the brothers were nominated for the Turner Prize.

Franklin Square, Long Island
Franklin Square, Long Island, is an unincorporated town of 12,000 people which straddles Hempstead Turnpike some 20 miles outside of New York City. The town has no industry. Formerly an agricultural area, the land is now largely taken up with suburban homes.
Local business consists almost exclusively of about 25 stores of all types which line both sides of the main thorough-fare for a distance of approximately four blocks. The retail merchants were all doing exceptionally well during the present war period.
Present prosperity, however, seemed to hinge largely on the fact that gasoline rationing and other wartime controls forced residents to do their shopping locally. Indications were that with the return of peace many would go back to shopping in nearby competitive communities, where larger, more modern stores are located.
The only real solution, and therefore the prime element in the town's postwar planning, seemed to be to modernize the shopping facilities. But, because these were individually owned by small businessmen with limited capital, and since, to be successful, the plan called for a virtual modernizing of the entire business community, 'it posed a challenging problem.
To meet the challenge, all the local businessmen were called together in a single meeting. The probabilities of postwar loss in trade were explained to them in simple facts and figures. Then the following daring proposal was made by the community planning committee:
- The entire business community would "have its face lifted" by the redesigning of every store front in an early colonial motif.
- Next the interior of every store would be modernized with proper layout, counter and sales space, perhaps air conditioning.
- The local bank would make such loans as were needed to each businessman over and above what he could carry out of his own resources. All loans were to be at a low rate of interest and amortized over a period of 5 years.
- Instead of being done piecemeal, the project would be done as one major undertaking by a group of architects, builders, and contractors.
The concrete results
The local businessmen have subscribed to the plan 100 percent.
A single architectural layout has been made of the pro-posed new "Main Street." A group of large concerns, both industrial and commercial, have supplied experts to aid in the planning. A number of contracts have been entered into to do the work as soon as materials are available.
Besides these actions bearing directly on the merchants' collective decision to modernize their business properties, the following additional planning projects have been inaugurated in Franklin Square
- An option has been taken on a large area to be made into a shoppers' parking lot after the war. Bonds have been taken up by the merchants to pay the costs of the land, resurfacing, administration, etc.
- A series of commerce and industry forums have been held. at which manufacturers and dis-tributors have been invited to discuss with Franklin Square businessmen their postwar products, services, merchandising plants, etc.
- A Project Register has been created in cooperation with the local bank, where both merchants and townspeople can sign up with suppliers or builders for particular postwar undertakings. Special banking accounts have been set up to insure that the necessary funds will be available.
- A Buyers' Advisory Bureau, which anyone can consult for information and advice on postwar construction, equipment, or services, has also been established. The bureau is in regular contact with manufacturers, distributors, govern-ment agencies, and other sources from which such advisory assistance can be obtained.
- A Purchase Club has been started. Special savings accounts can be opened at the bank or inlocal stores, which will transfer them to the bank for the depositor-and built up toward the purchasing of specific postwar items. Six hundred such accounts were opened in the first 2 months of operation.
- A public works program has been started by the planning committee in cooperation with the proper authorities. It looks forward to the erection of a new post office, an incinerator and refuse disposal plant, a new public park and municipal center, and an additional secondary school.
Not content with continuing to plan in such realistic fashion for the future of their community, the economic structure of which is made up entirely of small commercial businesses, the Franklin Square planners have arranged nothing less than an hour and a half network television broadcast to show what one small town can do.

Super Mario Boy's Room:
I found a ton more awesome ideas but way too many to post today.
I love this girl's room, but I can't paint, so I just admire:
Little Miss Nursery. I don't think I could make those flowers very well:
I LOVE the owls in the first girls room. I'm a big fan of owls though. ;)
When I found out I was having a boy, I looked online at bedding for hours and hours! Now I'm a little sad because he's a big boy and growing out of his cute baby bedding. :(
Cute nursery ideas!
That piranha plant is awesome!
With my oldest, he had a decked out sports-related (of course) bedroom. His brother got all his old stuff. My poor baby girl, though, her room might get decorated by the time she's five!!
Cute! The super mario idea is awesome. And I love the paper shapes in the float frames. May have to steal it. Good luck! I had big dreams for my kids' rooms, but they are still shamefully bare.
I love the girls room with the owls...precious!
Cute ideas there!
I love these wall stickers from 41 Orchard (http://41orchard.com/), they have some really pretty stuff. I also love the simplicity of these nurseries (http://www.janereiseger.com/nursery_murals/5ways.html).
So exciting to plan a nursery!
You can paint a wall! Here I'll tell you how: open the can. Stick brush in can. Slap paint on walls. Husband will be frustrated because you aren't precise enough and are dripping paint on carpet or floor. Husband will finish the job.
See! Easy peasy!
My daughter's room is that bright color pink- I love it:) The accessories in the other pics are so cute as well- happy decorating!

"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular," Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins helps to gather common thoughts into a succinct statement beautifully. It is entirely too common to witness people who have spread themselves too thin by attempting many different ventures. The recovery from a brain injury is indeed vast. I found it helpful to decide over Sunday dinner where I would consciously focus my efforts for the coming week. There are many different aspects that a person needs to focus on after sustaining a brain injury. I found myself focusing on my physical rehabilitation nearly entirely in the beginning of my recovery. As I realized ways to improve my cognitive function and speech I daily make it part of my mission to continually try to challenge my memory and sharpen my reasoning skills. I have found that some things are forever different and that I will always have my work cut out for me to improve my cognitive skills.
The gym is now a constant part of my life. I will always attempt to progress further in regards to my physical well being. No matter how far you have come in regards to your recovery, there is always room to improve and it greatly helps if you have put into words where your focus will lie for the upcoming week. I decided last week to try and focus on my right arm. I have dystonia in my right arm which is why it shakes and has been a major hurdle for me in regards to my recovery. Even though I am almost ten years out from my injury I believe that the rest of my life will be a recovery for me. With the encouragement from Tony Robbins I see that I need to focus on one portion of my recovery at a time. I would love to hear what has been some of your methods to deciphering where to focus. Thank you very much for reading.

Recently, Japanese tech giant Sony sizzled the showgrounds of CES 2013 tech show with the launch of Xperia Z smartphone. Now, after a couple of leaks, Sony has unleashed the Xperia Z tablet.
Measuring 6.9 mm in thickness and weighing in at 495 grams, Xperia Z tablet carries the credit of being the thinnest tablet in the world. Tech experts believe that Xperia Z is a duo of the Xperia Z smartphone and a follow up to Xperia S Tablet announced at IFA 2012.
Moreover, as stated in the company press release, Xperia Z tablet is waterproof and dustproof as the smartphone. The Reality Display enables the representation of high-brightness and high-definition videos more vivid and beautuiful alongside the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 technology.
Have a look at the key specifications of Xperia Z tablet below.
Dimensions & Weight: As mentioned above, Xperia Z tablet measures 6.9 mm in thickness and 495 grams in weight.
Display: When it comes to display, the tablet packs a 10.1 inch Reality Display with a full HD screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Processor: The device comes loaded with 1.5GHz quad core processor under its hood.
Operating System: Sony has incorporated Xperia Z tablet with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Hence, the tablet comes with Project Butter, improved Android notifications, Google Now and several other software features.
Camera: In terms of camera optics, Xperia Z tablet comes with 8MP Exynos R rear camera and 2MP front camera for video chatting.
Storage: The tablet comes with 32GB onboard storage, 2GB RAM and a micro SD card slot supporting expandable storage.
Connectivity: Sony tablet comes packed with connectivity features including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and LTE.
Battery: Xperia Z Tablet is powered by a 6,000 mAh battery of undisclosed backup.
Other Features
The Sony Xperia Z tablet is preloaded with features including S-Force Front Surround 3D, Music Unlimited and PlayStation Mobile.
Price & Availability
As of now, the tablet has been launched only for the Japanese market. There is no official word on the price of the device and its availability in the other markets.
Xperia Z tablet - iPad 4 Competitor?
As far as the earlier Sony offerings in the tablet segment are concerned, the company has not been a deal breaker. However, considering the beefed up specs the waterproof and dustproof nature aesthetics of Xperia Z tablet, it is evident that latest Sony offering could be a tough challenger for iPad 4, which has been launched with Retina Display.
Detailing on the specifications of iPad 4, the tablet boasts a 9.7 inch LED-backlit Multi-Touch display with IPS technology with 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution with the Retina Display technology, Apple A6X processor, iOS 6 operating system, 5MP iSight rear camera, 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera for video calling, 16GB/32GB/64GB internal storage, 512MB RAM, Lightning port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and a 42.5 Whr Li-ion battery offering about 10 hours of backup.
As far as the Indian market is concerned, iPad 4 is priced at Rs 31,900 and Rs 39,900 for 16GB Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+Cellular, Rs 37,900 and Rs 45,900 for 32GB Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+Cellular and Rs 43,900 and Rs 51,900 for 64GB Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+Cellular models respectively.
If Sony decides to launch the tablet in India at a significantly lesser price than the iPad 4, Xperia Z tablet will definitely be a competitor to the fourth generation Apple tablet as it comes with a better display with Full HD resolution, faster quad core processor, better camera performance and NFC connectivity.

When she stepped off Space Shuttle Atlantis in April 2002, Ellen Ochoa had flown on four space missions and had logged nearly 41 days in space. Having become the first Latina in space back in 1993, Ochoa's career as a NASA astronaut was already historic, and yet her trailblazing wouldn't end with her last mission.
Born the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and raised in California, Ochoa went on to earn a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1985. She began working at NASA's Ames Research Center, where she managed the 35 research engineers of the Intelligent Systems Technology Branch and co-invented an optical inspection system, an optical object recognition method and a method for noise removal in images.
She joined the crew of the Space Shuttle Discovery in April 1993 as a mission specialist and later was the payload commander aboard Atlantis's 1994 flight and a flight engineer during her 1999 and 2002 missions. During her last three missions she (wo)manned the robotic arm.After her last mission, Ochoa began working at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where in 2013 she became the first Latino and only the second women to be named director.
For her many firsts, a school in Pasco, Washington and two schools in California have been named in her honor.
In an 1999 interview, Ochoa was asked if she felt her Latino heritage placed more pressure on her:
I don't believe that being Hispanic American puts any additional pressure on me. I seem to put enough pressure on myself as it is. As for my accomplishments, being an astronaut has given me the opportunity to speak to children all over, including children with the same background as myself. I think that it's important for children to have a role model to see what they can grow up to be. It's important they know that if they work hard, they can be and accomplish whatever they want. I am proud to be an example of that.
Honoring Ochoa — and remembering that, for Latinos, even the sky isn't the limit — is how we celebrate our heritage.

Riesling & Co. 2011 Vintage Tasting in Tribeca
by Michelle Kwan
German engineering, bratwurst, beer. These three things come to mind when thinking of Germany. But wine? Not so much. Flanked by France and Italy, Europe's powerhouses of winemaking, Germany has long existed under the shadow of these two regions — despite the fact that Germans began making wine more than eight centuries ago.
The German Winegrowers' Association has been taking its vintages on tour in parts of Europe and the United States for several years now in an attempt to introduce German wines to the industry and public alike. Germany's 2011 vintage has proven to be "the best in recent years," according to Norbert Weber, president of the Association. Germany's soil works together with the climate to produce primarily Rieslings and Pinot Blancs, with the former most recognized in the industry. Rieslings range from very dry to very fruity depending on the sugar alcohol level at processing, and the versatility of this wine makes it equally ideal for both pairing with food and drinking on its own.

You aren't likely to see sandcastles such as these being molded by a couple of toddlers on a South Coast beach.
The impressive piles of sand you are looking at are sculpted by New Yorker Calvin Seibert, who believes the sculptures form organically from his mind – each feature beginning as a natural transgression or contradiction to the afore created shapes.
"Once I begin building and forms start to take shape, I can start to see where things are going and either follow that road or attempt to contradict it with something unexpected. In my mind they are always mash-ups of influences and ideas," said Seibert in an interview with ArchDaily.
Seibert remembers building sandcastles in the sand piles out side of construction sites that were in his street.
When asked what some of the greatest challenges of using sand as a medium are:
"In crowds.. Making eye contact with parents.. Most kids are very well behaved, but a few have no boundaries. I also don't turn my back on seagulls. "

The amazing academic performance of Socially and Educationally Backward Classes: C Mahesh
July 8, 2009
The nation's politicians (barring a few honourable exceptions) supported by the terrorised media (though one newspaper proclaims that it is pursuing "journalism of courage") insist that the so-called OBCs have been deprived of "education" for centuries are unable to compete in professional exams and hence are in need of protective discrimination. One correspondent writing in the HT (Not a word on quotas is a radical move 26.06.09) alleges that 16% SCs, 8% ST, 41% OBCs 13.4% Muslims (constituting a majority) are relatively disadvantaged groups. Naturally, no evidence is produced in support of this monstrous lie. But when you consider the following information, only one question comes to mind – Is there anything remotely either "socially" or "educationally" backward about these beneficiaries of 'protective' discrimination? - In 2008 admissions to the TN Govt Medical Seats 1339 of the 1394 seats (i.e 96.05%) was captured by the SC/ST/BC/MBC. - In 2008 admissions to the TN Govt PG Medical Seats 90 of the 91 seats (i.e 99 %) was captured by the SC/ST/BC/MBC. - In the 2009 CPMT UP Medical Admissions, the topper is an SEBC (i.e OBC), six of the top 10 places are taken by the SECB, 50% of the top 100 places were bagged by the SEBC and 60% of the top 1000 places were grabbed by the SEBC. From the above one can easily understand (i.e if one wants to), the policy of guaranteed quota + right to entry through merit and the caste-based categorisation of super powerful groups in the so-called OBC list will eventually ensure that the Hindus in the unreserved category, (in perhaps a decade) will not be able to secure professional education in India. India will become another TN, where those who capture all seats (i.e SC/ST/OBC/Mino.) are called "weak, backward and marginalized"! And now consider the following new item with the amazing headline taken from the TOI. You are left wondering whether anything is genetically wrong with the so-called OBCs that their superlative academic performances should actually come as a surprise. The correspondent who has compiled this report also mentions that "quota + entry through open seats" has led to the "general category" quota 'shrinking'. The fact of the matter is the so-called "General Category" have no quota at all. In fact they have no right to higher education in India.
The emerging scenario (already existing in TN for several decades) underlines that Hindus of the Unreserved Category must be given either (a) reservation so that they too be a part of social diversity or (b) they must be officially given the status of minorities entitled to protection of Article 30(1). Atleast that will enable them to live. Citizenship is still a long way off and may perhaps may never be restored to them. OBCs capture six of top ten slots in CPMT
LUCKNOW: Other backward caste (OBC) candidates dominated the Combined Pre-Medical Test 2009, the results of which were declared late on Monday night. Six slots in the top 10, including the topper, were bagged by the OBC candidates. Not only this, about half of the candidates in the top 100 were OBCs while, 60% of the top 1000 positions were bagged by candidates from the segment. What may come as a surprise is that the trend has persisted for the second consecutive year. Last year, seven of the top ten places were bagged by OBC candidates. With this, experts are of the view that all reputed government medical colleges would see more than 50% of seats going to candidates from the OBC category. The reason is that a 27% quota is earmarked for the OBCs taking the CPMT examiniation. Now, top rankers in CMPT take admission through the open (general) category, leaving place for another OBC candidate. In this bid, however, the general candidates quota shrinks. In Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, around 130 candidates of 2008-09 batch hail from the OBC category. Nineteen-year-old Rashmi Singh of Varanasi has topped the exam with 192 marks out of total 200. She secured full marks in botany, 48 each in physics and chemistry and 46 in zoology.

March 21, 2014 18:26 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 21, 2014) - Passport Energy Ltd. ("Passport") (TSX VENTURE:PPO) and Amarok Energy Inc. ("Amarok") (TSX VENTURE:AMR) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") to complete a merger between the two companies (the "Proposed Transaction"). It is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will proceed by way of a court approved plan of arrangement (the "Plan") under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Proposed Transaction will be an arm's length transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
Passport and Amarok expect to complete their respective due diligence by no later than March 27, 2014 and anticipate entering into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") on or before March 28, 2014 or such other date as mutually agreed by the parties. As the terms and conditions of the Plan as set out in the LOI impact the minimum CDN$20 million and maximum CDN$30 million private placement offering of Passport (the "Original Private Placement Offering") as previously announced by Passport on January 10, 2014, the parties have agreed to jointly announce the execution of the LOI in order to, among other things, permit Passport to update Passport's shareholders on the status of the Original Private Placement Offering.
Summary of Proposed Transaction
Under the Proposed Transaction, Passport intends to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts of Passport for a minimum of CDN$13,000,000 and up to a maximum of CDN$23,000,000 at a price of CDN$0.18 per subscription receipt following which Passport proposes to complete a consolidation of its common shares on a 6 for 1 basis. Each subscription receipt issued pursuant to the private placement offering shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one post-consolidation common share of Passport. Following the consolidation, and the conversion of the subscription receipts, Passport and Amarok propose to complete a three-cornered amalgamation whereby each post-consolidated Passport common share will be exchanged for one Amarok common share at a deemed price of CDN$0.18 per Amarok common share. Immediately following the amalgamation, it is proposed that Amarok will consolidate its common shares on a 5 for 1 basis and change its name from "Amarok Energy Inc." to "Powder Mountain Energy Ltd." (the "Resulting Issuer"). Assuming that the maximum amount of subscription receipts are subscribed for under the private placement and completion of each of the above steps, the Resulting Issuer will have approximately 48,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding at a price of approximately CDN$0.90 per Amarok common share, following the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
If the Proposed Transaction proceeds in the manner described above, it is anticipated that the current Passport shareholders, the subscribers to the private placement (assuming the maximum amount), and the Amarok shareholders will hold approximately 8%, 53% and 39% respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer. On completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will have approximately CDN$38,000,000 in cash and approximately CDN$5,700,000 of assets in Southeast Saskatchewan, Alberta, Montana and Wyoming.
32 Degrees (as defined below) proposes to subscribe for CDN$13,000,000 of the private placement offering, which would result in 32 Degrees owning 30% of the Resulting Issuer if the maximum private placement offering is completed (39% if the minimum private placement offering is completed). As a result, if the Proposed Transaction is completed, 32 Degrees will become a "control person" (as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange) of the Resulting Issuer.
Details of each of the steps of the Proposed Transaction are described in further detail below.
The Passport Private Placement
The LOI contemplates a Plan proceeding by way of a three cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") whereby Amarok will, indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary ("AcquisitionCo"), acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Passport from shareholders of Passport in exchange for shares of Amarok. Prior to the Amalgamation, Passport shall complete a brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") issued at CDN$0.18 per Subscription Receipt on a post-Consolidated (as hereinafter defined) basis for minimum gross proceeds of CDN$13,000,000 (the "Minimum Private Placement Offering") and maximum gross proceeds of up to CDN$23,000,000 (the "Maximum Private Placement Offering" and together with the Minimum Private Placement Offering, the "Private Placement Offering"). Each Subscription Receipt will be convertible into common shares of Passport ("Passport Shares") on a 1 for 1 basis on a post-Consolidated basis without any additional consideration from the holders of such Subscription Receipts. Passport has engaged Integral Capital Markets, a division of Integral Wealth Securities Limited ("Integral") as its exclusive agent to solicit subscriptions for the sale of the Subscription Receipts on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. In consideration for the engagement by Passport, Integral will be paid a cash amount equal to CDN$200,000 on the 32 Degrees Subscription (as hereinafter defined) and 6% of the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the Subscription Receipts from all other subscribers other than the 32 Degrees Subscription and certain subscribers as agreed between Integral and Passport.
The Private Placement Offering will replace the terms of the Original Private Placement Offering.
In order to facilitate a price of CDN$0.18 per Subscription Receipt under the Private Placement Offering, Passport shall, subject to shareholder approval and regulatory approval, complete a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of all of the issued and outstanding Passport Shares immediately prior to the closing of the Private Placement on the basis of six (6) Passport Shares for every one (1) post-Consolidation Passport Share. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one (1) post-Consolidation Passport Share for each Subscription Receipt held, without any additional consideration.
The LOI contemplates that CDN$13,000,000 of the Private Placement Offering (the "32 Degrees Subscription") will be subscribed for by 32 Degrees Diversified Energy Fund II (Canadian) L.P. and 32 Degrees Diversified Energy Fund II (US) L.P. (collectively referred to as "32 Degrees"). A portion of the subscription price (the "Subscription Portion") payable by 32 Degrees under the 32 Degrees Subscription will be paid by the transfer and conveyance of approximately 24 1/4 contiguous sections in the Hardy area of Southeast Saskatchewan (the "Hardy Lands") owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of 32 Degrees ("32 Degrees HoldCo"). The estimated value of the Subscription Portion as of the date of this press release is approximately CDN$702,000. 32 Degrees HoldCo may, in its discretion, acquire additional lands adjacent to, or in close proximity to the Hardy Lands (the "Additional Lands"), prior to the closing of the Private Placement Offering. Additional Lands may, subject to applicable regulatory approval, also be included and form a part of the Subscription Portion. The Subscription Portion amount will equal the aggregate of approximately CDN$702,000 plus the amount paid for Additional Lands by 32 Degrees HoldCo ( if any), the aggregate amount expended or contributed by 32 Degrees HoldCo with respect to the Hardy Lands, and the acquisition price paid by the 32 Degrees HoldCo for the Additional Lands (if any) prior to the completion of the Private Placement Offering (the "Expenditure Amount"), and interest equal to 12% per annum, calculated daily in respect of each contribution or expenditure comprising the Expenditure Amount.
Subject to regulatory approval, the 32 Degrees Subscription will also provide that following the closing of the Private Placement Offering and until the Subscriber Group (as that term is defined below) holds directly or indirectly less than 10% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer, together with: (a) any joint investment fund or limited partnership which is managed by the manager of 32 Degrees or an affiliate of the manager of 32 Degrees; and (b) any limited partner of 32 Degrees or of any joint investment fund or limited partnership which is managed by the manager of 32 Degrees or an affiliate of the manager of 32 Degrees (collectively, the "Subscriber Group") subject to certain limitations, shall have a pre-emptive right to participate in any future issuance of securities in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such securities) at the same price as the other participants in such financing up to its pro rata interest determined at the time of such proposed issuance of securities.
Assuming the Transaction is completed, 32 Degrees Subscription will result in 32 Degrees becoming a "control person" (as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange) of the Resulting Issuer, holding 39% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Resulting Issuer in the event the minimum private placement offering is completed and 30% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Resulting Issuer in the event the Maximum Private Placement Offering is completed.
The Amalgamation
Passport currently has 111,548,781 Passport Shares issued and outstanding, 10,250,000 stock options ("Passport Options") issued and outstanding, 815,221 Common Share purchase warrants ("Passport Warrants") and no other securities of any class issued or outstanding. It is anticipated that upon completion of the Consolidation and assuming the Maximum Private Placement Offering is fully subscribed, there will be approximately 146,369,241 Passport Shares, 1,708,333 Passport Options and 135,870 Passport Warrants issued and outstanding. Amarok currently has 93,215,292 Common Shares issued and outstanding and 8,137,534 stock options ("Amarok Options") and no other securities of any class issued or outstanding.
As part of the Amalgamation, it is proposed that each one (1) post-Consolidated Passport Share (which shall include the post-Consolidated Passport Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts) shall be tendered to the AcquisitionCo in exchange for one (1) Amarok common share ("Amarok Share"). Assuming the Maximum Private Placement Offering is fully subscribed, it is anticipated that the shareholders of Passport and Subscription Receipt holders will, upon completion of the Amalgamation, hold in aggregate 61.1% of issued and outstanding Amarok Shares with Amarok having approximately 239,584,533 Amarok Shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the LOI, it is anticipated that all unexercised Passport Options, Passport Warrants and Amarok Options will be cancelled or terminated.
The LOI anticipates that as at the closing of the Proposed Transaction Amarok shall have not less than: (i) CDN$15 million in cash and cash equivalents; and (ii) oil and gas assets located in Wyoming and Montana (the "U.S. Assets") of not less than CDN$2.0M in value (or such other value as mutually agreed by the parties acting reasonably). The LOI provides that the U.S. Assets may be sold (or an agreement entered into to sell the U.S. Assets) by Amarok prior to the completion of the Plan with the prior written consent of Passport. Amarok also owns oil and gas assets located at Stolbert, Alberta producing approximately 5 barrels of oil per day.
The Amarok Consolidation and Name Change
The LOI contemplates that Amarok will seek regulatory and shareholder approval to: (i) consolidate its shares on a five (5) to one (1) basis (the "Amarok Consolidation") immediately following the Amalgamation so that the approximately 239,584,533 Amarok Shares issued and outstanding will be consolidated to approximately 47,916,907 Amarok Shares; and (ii) change its name from "Amarok Energy Inc." to "Powder Mountain Energy Ltd." (the "Name Change") or such other name as the parties may mutually agree.
Following the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that the directors of Amarok will be:
Messrs. Massimo Geremia and Samuel Ingram are currently directors of Amarok. Messrs. Gregg Smith and Bruce Murray are currently directors of Passport. Messrs. Larry Evans, Mitch Putnam and Trent Baker are director nominees of 32 Degrees.
Management of Post-Amalgamation Amarok
The LOI contemplates that on closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Chief Executive Officer of Amarok shall be Bruce Murray, the Chief Operating Officer shall be Daniel Tiberio, and the Exploration Manager of Amarok shall be Jessica Gordon-Metez each of whom are presently on the management team of Passport.
Interim Period
The LOI provides that until the earlier of the termination of the LOI and the closing date of the Proposed Transaction, Passport and Amarok shall not approve or undertake any of the following activities in their respective businesses without the prior written consent of the other party, not to be unreasonably withheld: (i) any material change in operating strategy; (ii) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any assets, business or operation; (iii) any acquisition of any assets, shares, business or operations; (iv) declaration of a payment of a dividend; and (v) any other material transaction or expenditure.
Break Fee
The LOI provides that the Arrangement Agreement will include a reciprocal break fee equal to CDN$300,000 payable by one party to the other in circumstances customary with industry practice.
Arrangement Agreement
The LOI is non-binding with respect to commercial terms, but includes binding obligations typical in the circumstances, including those relating to a period of exclusive dealing and confidentiality. The LOI contemplates that the parties shall enter into an Arrangement Agreement that will substantially reflect the terms of the LOI and will contain representations, warranties, conditions and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature and magnitude.
The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including the entering into by the parties of the Arrangement Agreement with respect to the Proposed Transaction on or prior to March 28, 2014 or such other date mutually agreed by the parties, the completion of the Private Placement, the completion of satisfactory due diligence investigations, the approval of the directors of each of Passport and Amarok, the approval of the shareholders of Passport, the approval of the shareholders of Amarok and the approval of the Exchange and other applicable regulatory authorities. The obligation of the parties to complete the Proposed Transaction will be further subject to each of the parties receiving their respective Board of Directors' approval.
Passport and Amarok intend to provide a further update on the Proposed Transaction, including any substantive changes to the proposed structure or any of the terms and conditions set out herein, if and when an Arrangement Agreement is entered into.
The Amarok Shares have been voluntarily halted pending receipt and review of the Proposed Transaction by the Exchange. Trading of the Passport Shares were halted when the Original Private Placement was announced and have remained halted. Passport anticipates that subject to regulatory approval, if the parties enter into an Arrangement Agreement, the Passport Shares will remain halted until the Amalgamation is completed.
The Proposed Transaction, including Private Placement Offering, the Consolidation, the Plan, the Amarok Consolidation, the Name Change and all the securities transactions associated therewith or arising therefrom shall be subject to all applicable rules, policies and regulations of securities regulatory authorities (including applicable stock exchange and shareholder approvals) and securities and corporate laws.

How many times can a professor use outside offers to negotiate retention packages at their university?
I don't know, but a reader who is possibly in a position to get their second outside offer asked me this question. This person's first offer was early (tenure-track), but that was a while ago, so this person is not a habitual collector of outside offers. Nevertheless, they wonder if they should go through the outside-offer-ritual a second time.
I have discussed similar issues in the F/SP blogs and in The Chronicle of Higher Education, but I don't think I've ever directly asked for opinions about whether there is a maximum number of offers that is appropriate (whatever that means). Of course the only opinion that matters is that of the professor-in-question's institution, but it's still fun to speculate and opine.
I don't think 2 is excessive, especially if they are widely spaced in a career. I don't think 2 is excessive anyway, and even more would be OK (in theory). Your institution can always say no, they aren't going to negotiate and then you make your decision to stay or leave, depending on what you want to do given the various complex factors involved in these decisions.
That seems quite straightforward, but I know there are nuances, one of which is the effect of multi-offers on the opinions of your colleagues in your department and administrators in your university. If you are a cosmic superstar who brings fame and fortune to your university, maybe the administration (sort of) likes the fact that other institutions are constantly trying to poach you. Colleagues may even admire you for being so academically desirable. For most of us, however, the stakes (for the university at least) are quite a bit lower, and the threshold beyond which we would be widely perceived to be a selfish, greedy jerk (accompanied by little or no admiration) is encountered more easily.
That's why, although theoretically the sky's the limit for the number of offers you could bring to the table in your career, most mortal professors probably should consider a limit.
But what should that limit be? And should there be a particular spacing between outside offers that are sought or entertained, or should it be more random, such as whenever there is a major research accomplishment that helps attract such offers? The realistic limit likely does scale with level of fame and accomplishment, so we'd have to come up with a handy scheme (or equation) that can be consulted as needed. Something that can be used to estimate or calculate how many outside offers one can proffer in a certain number of years based on specific benchmarks, like number of papers in high-impact journals, number of highly cited papers (h-index), number of Nobel Prizes etc.
O great blog community, please opine on this issue: Do you think there is a realistic maximum number of offers that a semi-illustrious professor should entertain? How can one determine what that maximum is? Just keep hurling offers at your administrators until they hurl them back? Surely we can do better than that. If we can't come up with a more specific scheme (or equation), we will have failed to produce the deliverable with which we are tasking ourselves and there will therefore be no outcome for us to assess.
