Jason Stipp: I'm Jason Stipp for Morningstar, and welcome to The Friday Five.
As we paused for Independence Day celebrations, we saw a few signs of the holiday across the market this week.
Here with me to offer the details is Morningstar markets editor Jeremy Glaser.
Jeremy, thanks for being here.
Jeremy Glaser: Glad to be here, Jason.
Stipp: So, what do you have The Friday Five this week?
Glaser: Well, this week we're going to talk about Barclays, Hillshire Brands, same-store sales, fireworks in Europe, and finally China.
Stipp: Top brass at Barclays got a certain kind of independence this week. Maybe he wasn't looking for it in quite that way. What's your take on the situation there?
Glaser: I don't think Bob Diamond was fighting for his independence, but it was foisted upon him, because of the LIBOR fixing scandal.
In a nutshell, Barclays essentially manipulated this interbank rate, which a lot of other key interest rates are tied to, and this is something that is a big stain on Barclays' reputation. They're going to have to pay a pretty sizable fine to regulators both in the U.K. and elsewhere.
But I think there are two major things that come out of this that are important for investors.
The first is, it reinforces this notion, which a lot of particularly individual investors have been feeling since the financial crisis, that this whole game is rigged in a way. That the investment banks are using their power and using their position in order to just extract value wherever they can find it, but without really thinking about their stakeholders, without really thinking about individual investors in a very meaningful way.
Certainly, just because there are some bad actors doesn't mean that the entire financial system is out to get people. But stories like this, I think, really corrode that trust that's needed in the financial system for it to work, so I think that is a key part.
Secondly, for Barclays specifically, it now leaves this huge European bank without a leader in a time of transition for them. They've grown a lot in recent years and have to focus on finding their profitability, finding their stride, which they haven't been able to do yet. Our analyst Jim Sinegal is hopeful that someone will be able to come in and really focus on the retail bank--focus on that stable, profitable organization--and try to rein in some of the bigger risk-takers that obviously got in trouble with the LIBOR scandal and elsewhere.
Who knows if that's going to happen or not. I think we'll have to wait and see on that one, but certainly Barclays without a strong leader at the helm could be listless for some time.
Stipp: In consumer goods, we saw two breakfast-related brands, you might say, gain their independence from each other. What was behind that and is there a trend in the split-up of companies?Read Full Transcript
Glaser: I talked earlier this week about Sara Lee's split-up just last week of Hillshire brands and a coffee business that will be based in Europe. And really what was happening there is Sara Lee realized that there just weren't a lot of synergies cross-selling in different aisles of the grocery store. Getting that scale wasn't that valuable for them, and in fact, it was making them lose focus on developing new products and really developing the brands that they needed in order to create a lot of value for their shareholders.
So far we think that the spin-off really did make a lot of sense. We talked to Erin Lash earlier this week about this--she is the analyst who covered Sara Lee--and she really sees that focus as being incredibly valuable, and that Hillshire Brands could potentially be a good takeover target for some other firms that maybe could create some more scale there, could create a lot more value there, when it comes to the supermarket.
So, creating that independence certainly makes sense for that firm. Kraft is also going to be splitting up in the relative near future, and we'll see if that one makes sense, too. Sometimes just being bigger does not mean that you're better.
Stipp: We also got retail same-store sales. They looked not especially strong. Were consumers not interested in doing holiday shopping for this week?
Glaser: Apparently not. The June same-store sale numbers just were not as strong as they had been. Consumer spending has been an area that obviously we've watched closely. Bob Johnson talks about it a lot. ... People go out there, spend money, and it drives the economy.
And same-store sales increased by the smallest amount in a number of years in June, and really people just seem to be pulling back. We saw it a lot at places like Macy's--which had been doing really well, the remerchandising had been really helping--they saw their same-store sales fall below expectations.
And I think that's just a sign that consumers are maybe becoming a little bit more fearful again. They're seeing some bad economic news. It's causing them to maybe be a little bit more cautious. It certainly was not a catastrophic report, and one month does not exactly make a trend, but I think it's going to be interesting to watch how same-store sales and how the consumer reacts to the potential of more softer economic news in the comings months.
Stipp: We were looking for, or maybe fearing, signs of fireworks in Europe over the last few days. Did we get them? Did we see the big explosions we were worried about?
Glaser: No big explosions in Europe, which is both good and bad.
So, on the good side, we didn't see any big explosions from some of our sovereign debt highflyers, like Greece and Spain, where there wasn't a big crisis [in the last week]--which, you know, no news is sometimes good news.
The summit that ended last week with some agreements to allow struggling financial institutions to borrow directly from the European stability mechanisms instead of having to go through the national governments first, and those first tentative steps to creating a banking union and eventually a fiscal union, I think, really were good steps in the direction of actually solving the crisis, instead of just putting band-aids on.
Now there is still a lot more work to do, and interest rates are still unsustainably high for a number of countries in the eurozone, but I think the fact that the market bought those as a credible step was apparent in the lack of fireworks in Europe.
But on the other side, the ECB, which did finally lower rates, I think people maybe were expecting a little bit more fireworks there. Instead the ECB basically said, we're going to make this limited step of lowering rates. We don't think it's going to be that helpful. We do see softening in the economy. We really do think that the eurozone is falling into recession. These certainly aren't the kind of words that you want to hear from the central bankers. So, I think people maybe were expecting a little bit more, or were hoping that the ECB would be a little bit more explosive in what it deployed there.
Stipp: We also saw that China lowered their rates. Is this going to create fireworks for that economy, which folks have been worried about?
Glaser: I think this has been one of the big question marks of the global economy, where people are super-focused on Europe, people think about the United States a lot, and then out in the background you also have this question of, is Chinese growth incredibly slowing down? Are we going to see this so-called hard landing? ... Is it a bubble that's just going to pop, or are we going to just see a gradual slowing to more sustainable levels of growth?
And the Chinese government is doing everything in their power to make sure that is a gradual slowdown, and they keep cutting rates, they keep trying to ease monetary policy in a way to make sure that the slowdown is controlled, and that they're able to really keep the economy from completely collapsing.
And so far, they've done a fairly good job at it. It seems like the Chinese economy is chugging along, even if at lower levels, and we haven't seen catastrophic numbers yet, and we'll have to hope that the Chinese government is a good steward of the economy for the sake of the rest of the global economy.
Stipp: Jeremy, The Friday Five is always a grand finale for the week. Thanks for joining me.
Glaser: You're welcome, Jason.
Stipp: For Morningstar, I'm Jason Stipp. Thanks for watching. | http://www.morningstar.com/cover/videoCenter.aspx?id=559130&SR=EVZ128 | 2013-05-18T10:22:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Operator: Good morning. My name is Latangie and I will. Thank you.
I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Gerry Sweeney, President and CEO of Brandywine Realty Trust. Please go ahead, sir.
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Latangie, thank you very much. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for participating in our first quarter 2012 earnings call. On today's call with me are George Johnstone, our Senior Vice President of Operations; Gabe Mainardi, our Vice President and Chief Accounting Office; Howard Sipzner, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Tom Wirth, our Executive Vice President of Portfolio Management and Investments.
Prior.
So, with that said, will be available to answer any other questions.
First, an overall observation. General economic uncertainty we see every day is moderating the pace of the office market recovery. One day the news is good, the next day not so much. However, the general (trend line) remains positive and based on what we see at least in our markets, the office market recovery is certainly continuing. Vacancy rates continue to decline in most of our markets.
First quarter leasing activity in most of our market was lower than in the fourth quarter of 2011, but generally as expected. Leasing remains our number one priority and market data supports continued confidence in our business plan. Several of our markets continue to have a tenant driven pricing dynamic, but in other markets we see encouraging signs of rental rate growth. Across the Board in all of our markets, we're still benefiting from a flight up the quality curve as our product is at the top end of available inventory.
Our leasing approach remains tactical; that is in some markets we are increasing rates, lengthening lease terms and creating downward pressure on capital concessions. This approach is working well in Austin, Philadelphia CBD, and the Crescent markets in the Pennsylvania suburbs. In other markets, we're accelerating absorption through aggressively gaining market share. Results of long lease confidence, we did increase our 2012 speculative revenue target by 2% and year-to-date we have achieved 80% of this new annual target.
Looking at the quarter, we had good leasing benchmarks and solid operating metrics. Most notably, our pipeline of transactions which we define as prospects have been issued proposals remains constant at 3.4 million square feet. The number and square footage or prospects touring or enquiring about our properties during the quarter average 37 companies and 400,000 square feet per week. For the quarter, these numbers were 26% greater than in the fourth quarter of 2011.
So, while general market activity leasing levels were generally down we had a very good quarter of tenant enquiries and inspections have anything from our standpoint continued emergence of tenant demand and the previously mentioned flight to quality product and landlords.
Our goal of having positive same-store growth for 2012 remains on track, mark-to-market leasing spreads were consistent with our 2012 business plan, albeit lower for the quarter particularly on a cash basis than our targeted run rate for the year. For the balance of the year, we expect better forward leasing spreads based upon the composition of our projected leasing activity. Concession package remain fairly steady where we are seeing higher capital costs, we are attempting to mitigate that through extended lease terms. Our TI costs for the quarter were in line with our business plan assumptions, but continue to be an area of heightened focus. George will address capital in more detail, but our CAD ratio this quarter was a solid 79%. We (all saw a) positive absorption for the portfolio this quarter.
George again will touch on these operating metrics and pipeline activity in more detail, but from an operating standpoint we are pleased with the quarter and more importantly with the continued improvement in overall tone and velocity of our tenant traffic.
By looking at our balance sheet, we remain extremely liquid with no near term debt maturities. Additionally, with the exception of $100 million that remains floating, we are completely insulated from any floating rate interest risk.
Continued NOI improvement augmented by our investment strategy will continue our EBITDA deleveraging program. We closed the quarter with $334 million of cash and securities on hand as a result of early asset sales and the funding of our previously announced $600 million term loan facilities. These cash balances provide the funds to return the $151.2 million balance of our 5.75% unsecured note that was due April 1.
Liability management efforts continue during the quarter, and we purchased $4 million of our unsecured notes. While we incurred a slight loss on that extinguishment, it does represent our approach in effectively manage our forward liabilities, and from a debt maturity standpoint, the Company is in extraordinarily good shape and our next unsecured not is not due until November of 2014.
For the quarter, we improved our net debt to gross assets to 43.7%. We have no outstanding balance on our $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and we also made good progress along our EBITDA improvement path on a 7.2 times ratio of net debt to annualized EBITDA. And Howard, in his presentation will review all those metrics in more detail.
Cash is certainly fungible and our sources of cash have been slightly larger borrowings under our term loans and the proceeds from asset sales, our all-state joint venture and now the preferred offering. We view our cash on a net debt basis, and our bank term loan structures provide an opportunity to reduce debt with minimal breakage cost. But while the economic climate remains uncertain, it's important to maximize flexibility and liquidity. As such we plan to remain very liquid with ample financial capacity, while our portfolio transitions to higher occupancy levels, consistent NOI growth, and EBITDA improvement.
Our cash balances are available for continued liability management, acquisitions and direct debt pay downs. We have a very stable and flexible debt platform where we have the option to accelerate debt prepayments or alternatively use cash from sales to redeploy in the better growth assets.
In pursuit of this liquidity objective subsequent to the quarter end we took advantage of strong capital markets, through a $100 million opportunistic preferred equity issuance of 6.9% coupon preferred shares. A portion of these proceeds will fund the redemption of all of our outstanding 7.5% for Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares. The issuance of this preferred stock at a 6.9% coupon is excellent permanent capital for our company.
The coupon's extremely attractive, market demand was very strong, enabled us to upsize our offering after the launch and consequently redeem our 7.5% preferred. This issuance and related redemption cost was not in our original plan and has a near-term cost. That cost as indicated in our guidance need to be expensed from both the redemption, as well as the anticipated dividends on the net preferred issuance and will be about $0.03 per share during 2012.
Looking at investments, the low interest rate environment increased visibility on leasing activity and the relative yield against real estate sectors have created a much more active bidding pool for our asset class and there is ample available capital looking for acquisition. To take advantage of that opportunity, we are increasing our sales target for 2012 from $80 million to $175 million. Our previous guidance contemplated an $80 target, occurring ratably during the year, at cap rates ranging between 7.5% and 9%. Given what we've seen thus far, we anticipate better progress than that. For example, we saw our fully leased 268,000 square foot South Lake building for $91.1 million or $340 per square foot.
We also completed the disposition of a 33,000 square foot office building in Moorestown, New Jersey. We currently have over $200 million in assets either on the market for sale or in reverse inquiry discussions. These assets are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California. Of this amount, approximately $80 million is either in buyer due diligence or buyer underwriting and bid review. To the extent that these pending $80 million of transactions close, will be a timing acceleration versus our original business plan and as a result dilutive to 2012 FFO.
To put a finer point on it our $94 million of sales to-date have caused us about $0.03 per share in current year FFO versus our previous guidance, and if the property is under contract and underwriting, close on their projected timeline that will cost us roughly about another $0.01 per share versus our prior slower assumed pace. So overall, our earlier and higher sales volumes are about $0.04 dilutive to FFO in 2012.
During the quarter, we did complete a small acquisition. We acquired 150,000 square foot vacant office building located in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania next to our Plymouth Meeting Executive campus. Our price was $9.1 million or $59 per square foot. We immediately commenced redevelopment with an overall budget including our acquisition cost approximating $28 million. We expect to deliver the finished building by the end of the year, stabilized by year-end 2013 and already 58% pre-leased. We expect to achieve an 11% (free and clear) return on an overall investment base about $180 per square foot. This value add acquisition was a perfect complement both from an offensive and defensive leasing standpoint to our existing 800,000 square foot inventory in Plymouth Meeting.
In general, our investment approach is governed by continual balance sheet improvement and achieving a better forward growth profile. Our 2012 guidance does not contemplate any additional acquisitions, while we continue to actively evaluate range of opportunities both in our Allstate joint venture and for direct acquisitions. We would anticipate that any contemplated acquisitions will be financed through asset sales or existing cash balances.
One final point, we have a land inventory of approximately $109 million, or roughly 2.2% of our asset base. Most of that land is in total for office development given the realities in some market spacing future office development last year we commenced a plan to examine all parcels for alternative and higher value uses. That process is beginning to pay-off and we recently received approvals on our Plymouth Meeting land for about 400 multifamily units. We have several additional parcels proceeding through the same process and once it is achieving new entitlements our plan would be to either sell that land or identify quality residential companies and/or institutional investors to develop the project whereby Brandywine would be an investment partner.
To wrap up with some commentary on our guidance, as we did note in our press release, we issued a revised FFO range for 2012 of $1.30 to $1.35 per share. The reduction in the bottom end of the range of $0.05 is comprised of $0.03 due to the preferred offering, the $0.04 I mentioned due to the accelerated and larger sale target, offset by $0.02 of operational improvements driven by strong leasing and expense savings.
At this point, George will now provide an overview of our first quarter operating activity, and then George will turn it over to Howard for a review of our financial activity.
George D. Johnstone - SVP, Operations and Asset Management: Thank you, Gerry. We continue to see good levels of leasing activity during the first quarter, which has allowed us to raise certain elements of the business plan, and overall flight to quality continues as tenants seek quality landlords, buildings and locations, which has benefited our portfolio. Submarkets that continue to demonstrate recovery and improving metrics are Philadelphia CBD, the Crescent, Pennsylvania submarkets of Radnor, Conshohocken, Plymouth Meeting, and Newtown Square, along with Austin and Richmond, where rent growth and tighter capital control are becoming more the norm. Other markets, while showing some signs of improvement, remain in a buying occupancy mode.
In terms of the first quarter specifically, during the quarter, we commenced 982,000 square feet of leases, including 442,000 square feet of new leases, 421,000 square feet of renewal leases, and 119,000 square feet of tenant expansions. This leasing activity resulted in positive absorption of 77,000 square feet and an occupancy percentage of 86.7%.
Occupancy exceeded our business plan projection by 20 basis points after factoring in the 10 basis point decline from the sale of the South Lake building in Northern Virginia. More importantly, we are holding our year-end occupancy target of 89.4%.
Retention for the quarter was 59.7%. Early termination rates exercised by a handful of tenants accounted for 1,000 basis points of lost retention. For the year tenant retention is still expected to be 57% based on 1.1 million square feet of renewals already executed, current lease negotiations and known tenant move-outs.
Leasing capital for the quarter was $2.85 per square foot per lease year. Our average lease term for the quarter was 5.7 years. Regions operating under the average capital spent for the quarter were the Pennsylvania suburbs, New Jersey Delaware, Richmond and California. Philadelphia CBD and Metro D.C. continue to outpace the Company average on average lease term. Lengthening lease term and controlling capital continues to be an area of focus.
Rental rate declines for the quarter were 4.3% on a GAAP basis and 14.2% on a cash basis. Philadelphia CBD, the Pennsylvania suburbs and Metro D.C., posted positive GAAP rental rate growth for quarter. Cash declines were driven by five deals rolling off leases done at the height of the market. Excluding these five deals cash declines were 6%.
We do expect rental rate trends to improve from those posted in the first quarter as our business plans still contemplate the range from negative 1% to positive 2% on a GAAP basis and negative 4% to negative 7% on cash basis.
Traffic for the quarter was up 26% sequentially and up 5% over last year's average quarterly traffic. The pipeline remains strong unchanged at 3.4 million square feet, 2.5 million square feet of new deals, 900,000 square feet of renewal deals. 611,000 square feet of deals are in lease negotiations with the balance all entertaining proposals. We've increased our speculative revenue target by $1 million or 2%, $35.9 million or 80% has been achieved, leaving $9 million still to be done over the balance of the year. At this time last year, we had $11 million remaining on our spent revenue target.
Austin, Philadelphia, CBD, Pennsylvania suburbs, New Jersey, Delaware are all North of 80% achieved. Of the remaining $9 million to be achieved 35% is in active negotiations, 25% are entertaining proposals and 40% still needs to be sourced. These leasing assumptions and trends will translate into same-store NOI growth of 0.5% to 2.5% on GAAP basis and flat to 2% on a cash basis, both excluding early termination and other income.
Leasing remains the primary focus of the regional teams, but continued examination of our contracted services, energy procurement and conservation efforts, and aggressively appealing real estate taxes will aid in reducing operating costs and improving margin.
I will now turn it over to Howard for the financial review.
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: Thank you George and thank you Jerry. The first quarter 2012 income statement featured FFO available to common shares and units of $47.1 million. This compares favorably to $47.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $48.2 million in the first quarter 2011 given the interim sales and disposition activity.
Our funds from operations or FFO per diluted share came in at $0.32, which matched analyst consensus for the quarter. Our payout ratio on the $0.15 dividend we paid in January 2012 was a very strong 46.9% and our first quarter FFO figure was high quality with termination revenue, other income, management fees, interest income, JV activity and bond buyback costs totaling $6.3 million gross or $5 million net each in line with our 2012 expectations.
A few observations on the components of our first quarter performance; cash rent of $108 million was down $6 million sequentially versus the fourth quarter of 2011 due to fourth quarter and first quarter 2012 sales activity. Straight-line rent however of $6.8 million was up $1.4 million sequentially due to increased leasing activity and the associated straight-lining components.
Recovery income of $19.3 million was down $1.2 million sequentially versus $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to the mild winter and again the impact of the sales. Our recovery ratio of 35.5% on expenses was in line with our expectations. Property operating expenses of $40.2 million were down $4.1 million sequentially versus $44.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to the aforementioned sales activity and again the mild weather this past winter. Real estate taxes were up $0.3 million or $300,000 sequentially due to a variety of minor factors.
Our interest expense in the first quarter of 2012 came in at $34.1 million and represented an increase of $2.2 million sequentially versus $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
As we had double outstandings proportions of our debt on the quarter pending repayment and we also absorbed the cost of locking interest rates for the current and future periods. Our G&A at $6.1 million was in line with our expectations and with the prior quarter.
In the first quarter of 2012 we had net bad debt expense of just under $800,000 included in our operating expenses and for the most part it is proportional to the increase in our overall straight-line rent activity. Compared to a year ago, the first-quarter same-store NOI increased 2.6% on a GAAP basis and decreased 0.3% on a cash basis, both excluding termination fees and other income items and in line with our expectations for the quarter.
Our cash available for distribution or CAD increased sequentially to $27.8 million from $22 million and measured $0.19 per share versus $0.15 in the prior quarter. Our 78.9% first quarter 2012 CAD payout ratio is our best level of the last five quarters. EBITDA coverage ratios are off their highest levels and came in at 2.4 times interest, 2.2 times debt service, and 2.1 times fixed charges, due primarily to doubling of debt balances in the quarter and reduced exposure to floating rates.
Margins remained very strong with improving occupancy levels and came in at 60.7% for NOI and 62.9% for EBITDA. As Gary noted, we are revising our 2012 FFO guidance to now be in a range of $1.30 to $1.35 per diluted share for the full year. Excluding the roughly $0.08 of historic tax credit income we’ll recognize in the third quarter of 2012 and the $0.015 of cost for the preferred share redemption we will recognize in this second quarter. Our recurring quarterly run rate for the second quarter to the fourth quarter should be in the range of $0.295 to $0.31 per diluted share.
In terms of other income items for the full year we are projecting no change in our $20 million to $25 million gross figure or $14 million to $19 million net figure after expenses for basket of other items such as termination revenues, other income, management revenues, less associated expenses of net, interest income, JV income, including the now financing obligation cost featured on our income statement for the non-consolidated property in our joint venture.
We don't expect any change in 2012 G&A and it will be in the total range of $24 million to $25 million. There's no change in our expectation for interest expense for the full year and we're maintaining it in the $133 million to $140 million range. The wideness is reflected of the possibility that we may end up doing some debt pay downs as the year progresses and we'll be substituting cost of those debt pay downs for the underlying interest expense.
We're now projecting 175 million of total 2012 sales activity and with a higher pace and earlier activity that had a detrimental impact to our FFO, along with sales completed of about $0.04 per share. We're including the Series E preferred shares at 6.9% dividend costs going forward, offset by the repayment on May 3rd, of the $50 million Series C shares. That together with the cost of redeeming the Series C shares will be about $0.03 dilutive in 2012. As mentioned earlier, we'll recognize the $0.08 per share gross historic tax credit impact in the third quarter. This revenue component is essentially non-cash and will be excluded from our CAD calculation that reflects the second occurrence of 20% of the net proceeds realized through the historic tax credit financing in 2010 and will be recognized in the third quarter of each year from 2011 through 2015. Without anticipating any further issuance under a continuous equity offering program and no additional note buyback activity is reflected in our guidance. As a result, we see 147 million shares as our count for fully diluted shares and units outstanding for FFO calculation in 2012.
Reflecting approximately $53 million of additional revenue maintaining capital expenditures for the last nine months of 2012, we see cash available for distribution per diluted share staying in the range of $0.60 to $0.70 per share as previously outlined. The 2012 guidance revision is impressive from our perspective, as we incurred $0.07 of dilution versus the prior disclosure, and only reduced our guidance $0.05, reflecting $0.02 of better and more certain operating performance.
Our capital plan in 2012 is remarkable and simple. Our $284 million cash balance, not to mention $50 million of securities on hand, will cover all our needs and we do not expect to do any financings or use our credit facility this year at all.
Our uses from April 1, 2012 forward totaled $446 million and are as follows. $160 million for debt repayments, $151 million of that has already been funded on April 2nd for our 2012 notes and leaves just $9 million for mortgage amortization over the course of the year.
We have a variety of investment activity scheduled for the balance of 2012. It includes the $53 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures, $103 million for revenue creating capital expenditures, lease up of vacant space and new project lease up, including such properties as Three Logan Square and 3020 Market Street, plus another $55 million for a combination of smaller various capital projects, including our Commerce Square joint venture contributions.
We will pay $75 million of aggregate dividends on the common and preferred, $22 million on the common and $2 million on the preferred were already paid earlier in April, leaving 2012 remaining dividend payments of $51 million inclusive of the new Series E preferred. To fund this $446 million we are projecting the following from April 1st onwards. A $100 million of cash flow before financing investments in dividends but after interest payments, which are lumpy and tend to occur in April and May on the cycle of semiannual payments. $81 million of additional sales proceeds from the sales Jerry outlined. $47 million from net preferred stock activity, reflecting the funds we raised in the Series E offering, the cost of that offering less the $50 million we will disburse to redeem the Series C shares. We will you $218 million of our cash balance, leaving us with a projected year-end 2012 balance of about $116 million, inclusive of the $50 million of securities that will mature prior to year-end. So, our capital plan is very transparent and very clean from our perspective.
Accounts receivables at 3/31/2012 had reserves of about $16.1 million, $3.4 million on $17.4 million of operating receivables or just under 20%, and $12.7 million on $123.5 million of straight-line rent receivables, as we call them, or 10.3%. We are 100% compliant on all of our credit facility and indenture covenants with 84% of our gross real estate book value unencumbered at 3/31/2012. With the refinancing of our credit facility, we are now working under the new credit facility compliance metrics, and those are all captured in our supplemental package.
With that, I'll turn it back to Gerry for some additional comments.
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Thank you very much, Howard, and thank you as well, George. To conclude our prepared remarks, first quarter results were strong and consistent with our announced 2012 business plan. As evidenced by our collective commentary, we remain confident in our ability to achieve our 2012 objectives, including the increase in our spec revenue target. We remain convinced that our best growth strategy remains simply to continue outperforming our markets by leasing space. Our high quality product continues to provide a competitive advantage and we expect that advantage will accelerate as fundamentals continue to improve.
Our balance sheet strategy remains very much on track, and as discussed, we have become more aggressive on our disposition target for the year, given increased visibility on suburban office valuations.
So, thank you again for participating in the call. One final note, we want to mention that we will be hosting an Analyst and Investor Day on Tuesday, June 26, that tour will include presentations by our senior team, as well as a tour of our Philadelphia CBD assets. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome many of you to Philadelphia to present both the strength of our market position and the quality of our asset base and regional management teams. Invitations will be mailed out next week and we hope you can join us. We look forward to seeing you in June.
With that, (Latenge) we'll be delighted to open up the floor for questions. We ask that in the interest of time, you limit yourself to one question and a follow-up.
Operator: Jamie Feldman, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
James Feldman - Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Can you talk a little bit more about the current leasing pipeline I guess in terms of what you have left to do for the rest of the year? Then also with the election coming people are concerned about the fiscal cliff, what's your sense of it in terms of business decision-making for the rest of the year?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Sure. George?
George D. Johnstone - SVP, Operations and Asset Management: Jamie I think, as I mentioned earlier we've got $9 million of spec revenue left to achieve. That's going to require us to do just a little bit north of 1.5 square feet. The pipeline is strong its 3.4 million square feet in total, 2.5 million square feet of that are new prospects and 900,000 of renewal prospects. We feel confident that with the pipeline that we have, the conversion rates that we've demonstrated, last year our conversion was 40%, it was 31% for the first quarter, but we've got several markets that continue to kind of outperform that 40% Company average. Just in terms of one of the things we really do to track is, is the traffic that comes through our pipeline, but that tends to be a harbinger of forward leasing activity and I think even with the overall market levels being down a bit Q1 versus Q4, we were very pleased with the increase in traffic through our portfolio. Now, it's pretty much throughout our inventory, across all the markets. So, I think with the pipeline remaining constant, the number of deals that we have in negotiations, the percentage of deals that we have proposals issued for, I think we're continuing to remain very confident on our ability to achieve all these targets.
James Feldman - Bank of America Merrill Lynch: I guess just bigger picture on sentiment among tenants and among decision-makers; do you sense people are getting more cautious here with the election and the economic data getting more mixed or no change?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: It’s not a big change since the last conference call. Look, certainly, the market that we're in that is the most sensitized to the federal government and its budgetary matters, as both in Northern Virginia and in Maryland. I think the decline in leasing activity in Q1 in that market is reflective of the fact that the number of tenants are on the sidelines or pausing before they make a lot of poor lease commitments so they get a better flavor for what the political climate will be going forward. Certainly, with some of the appeal processes recently issued by the federal government in terms of awarding contracts, that has a bit of a delay in the actual award of those contracts and creates more protracted timeline. When we look beyond that I don't think we are really seeing the impact of the election in our other markets. I mean, the pipeline – feedback from our leasing agents, the managing directors does not seem to indicate that people are really focusing on that political climate as a key driver in their space decision.
Operator: Josh Attie, Citigroup.
Josh Attie - Citigroup: Can you talk a little bit more about what the acquisition pipeline looks like and maybe even development. When you did the preferred offerings you chose to increase the cash balance instead of paying down debt or – and I guess that kind of implies that you're seeing more growth opportunities. Can you talk about that a little bit?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Certainly, I'll make a real quick overview and then Tom can you give you kind of around the horn what we are seeing on the investment side. Look I think the reason when we raised this capital that we didn't pay down the debt immediately was just to preserve complete optionality and we have as you know from our bank term loan structure a pretty flexible platform to pay down that debt as we see fit with some acceleration of cost, but minimal breakage expenses. So, I think, when we analyze where we are we've retained the optionality to apply cash to future debt pay downs or as you know this past quarter to I think some pretty good tactical liability management, and we are seeing more things on the investment side, which Tom can certainly touch on.
Thomas E. Wirth - EVP, Portfolio Management and Investments: Sure. On the investment side, I think, if you look at the markets – I think that Philadelphia, Richmond tend to be slower not seeing much activity at this point. Continuing to see some activity in Austin that we monitor, that market continues to be well received when product is out there and we continue to look at the CBD and Southwest for opportunities and in Metro DC I think it's a (tale) of two storylines. We have the outside the beltway, which other than our trade, there's been very few outside the beltway trades, they've been taking longer to get done. So, we're monitoring that very closely just to see if cap rates are going to go higher out there or whether we see that nothing trades. Inside the beltway, we're still seeing a lot of good activity, and that activity in the trophy-class, there's plenty of capital out there finding that product, as well as – but some product that isn't trading at the expectations people are expecting, especially with – I think as you mentioned on the political side, we've seen rent sort of come down a little bit, we've seen it in our portfolio, we're seeing it in the district also with some negative absorption, that people are pulling product, and in some cases refinancing. So, there is some haves and have-nots. With our looking in the district and in inside the beltway markets, we are targeting that with our Allstate joint venture. So, we're certainly looking for opportunities in our targeted markets which are all inside the beltway. We're seeing some good opportunities. We're taking a look at them. Most of the things we're looking out are going to be conservative, we're not looking for a lot of leasing exposure or near-term leasing risk, and we continue to be pleased by what kind of lending you're seeing on assets inside the beltway by various institutions.
Josh Attie - Citigroup: How should we think about the redeployment of the asset sale proceeds? You increased the asset sale guidance. Should we think of those proceeds as going towards sitting in cash until you can find acquisition opportunities, or would some of those proceeds go to pay down the term loan?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: I think as I mentioned in the beginning, I think we'll just keep our flexibility. We have the option of paying down certainly $100 million floating rate term loan as we choose, how it continues to track the liability market by any frictional trades we can make to look at our forward liabilities, and Tom and his team are continuing to beat the bush on investments. So, I think, those three avenues, I think, are good ones for the Company, and as situations arise that we think justified the deployment of capital will move down that path.
Operator: Jordan Sadler, KeyBanc Capital.
Jordan Sadler - KeyBanc Capital: I was just looking to get clarification on the asset sales. You said previously the expectation was for cap rates in the 7.5% to 9% on the $80 million you had in guidance ratable over the year. What's the blended cap rate now?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: We're looking at a range in the mid 7s to 8%.
Jordan Sadler - KeyBanc Capital: Mid 7s to 8%.
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: On a blended basis, will be some lower, some high when we look at the pipeline.
Jordan Sadler - KeyBanc Capital: Then separately just looking at the revenue generating CapEx and the small capital projects which include Three Logan 3020 and presumably the Plymouth Meeting asset, you guys just touched on. You talked about Plymouth Meeting, but can you walk through, where you expected overall returns embedded in guidance on the $160 million you expect to deploy from April on? Does that recall in that sort of 10% to 12% unlevered range or what?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: It's Howard. A lot of it goes to leasing of vacant space, so putting it in the context of the Three Logan, that's an asset we originally underwrote on a substantially vacant basis to yield in a 9% to 10% range for this spend or part of it that will take place in 2012 is towards meeting that goal. 3020 could be an asset that yields ultimately in excess of 10%. The development project in Plymouth Meeting an 11% return, the money that we spend in the Thomas Properties Group, Commerce Square joint venture, little bit over a 9%, with some fees on top of that. So, generally very attractive returns as you look around the landscape at where those are going.
Jordan Sadler - KeyBanc Capital: My last question Gerry just looking at the cash on your balance sheet today, looks $230 million, $240 million, I think it's the number that I know was higher at quarter end, I know that you're keeping your options open, but I guess it basically seems that your option is open outside of debt repayment, which has certainty, it would mean that you've got investment opportunities that you're looking at. Can you maybe just characterize that for us? It seems like you've got potential size there and maybe just frame that up in terms of what you're seeing as the most attractive potential opportunities?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Sure, I'll take a stab at it for you. First of all, the math that Howard walked through in his commentary shows the application of a good portion of that cash during the course of the year. So, you need to be mindful of that as we look at some of the things you just inquired about in terms of Three Logan, 3020, Plymouth Meeting, We think they were good high quality capital investments to make that as those projects stabilize will develop a good rate of return. So, as we look at our net cash position, it's probably not as big as you're looking at for the end of the first quarter. So, you need to be mindful of that. We are beginning to see some more opportunities. They need to be mind, need to be worked, a lot of our transactions were focused on are off market. Look, we certainly like the structure of what we’re able to achieve with Commerce Square. We’re able to invest in a preferred position and create a good rate of return and accelerate absorption and value in an asset that we invest in. Some of the…
Jordan Sadler - KeyBanc Capital: Do you expect that to be recapitalized this year?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Well the debt is -- the first piece of debt is due in 2013 at Commerce Square. So, certainly I think the partnership as the year progresses will have a number of discussion about what the best method to do that is. But that certainly looms on the near term horizon as the capital discussion that the partnership needs to have.
Operator: John Guinee, Stifel Nicolaus.
John Guinee - Stifel Nicolaus & Company: Gerry, you guys did an awfully impressive asset sale at Dallas station which is a miserable leasing market as we all know. Can you drill down and talk about in addition to the price per pound, the cap rate, the lease expiration schedule any early expirations they might have had and then also sort of how you looked at it on a hotel basis and what you price point was and you became a seller versus a holder?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Sure, I’d be happy be John and they are good questions. I won’t necessarily agree with your total characterization, but I understand your theme. As we looked at the time we’re in transaction, that lease that we did was going out through 2019, but had termination rates that were kicking in kind of starting in the middle part of 2016 and 2017. We did that transaction not quite at the height of the financial crisis, but pretty close to it. So there was a real urgency to get that building occupied and the structure in which we did that lease provided not just for those early termination options to give Time Warner the flexibility they required, but also provided for a fairly flat rental rate structure. So from our standpoint we have pretty much optimized the value in that asset through bringing that property to stabilization and getting the cash flow coming in once the tenants started paying cash rent. Given those termination options, given the – we thought could be a declining value investment market, at least temporarily based upon some of your observations, we thought we reach the optimal value point of that. The trade incurs about a 6.8% cap rate, $340 a square foot which we thought on both metrics were probably good value recoveries for us. It enabled us to recover profitability -- a profit on that project and our team could then devote all their resources to leasing our apparently vacant space in that market.
Operator: Richard Anderson, BMO Capital Markets.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: On that Herndon deal, I guess I'm curious. Why wasn't it in guidance for your disposition target when you reported fourth quarter results, it only happened a month later?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Richard, it's a great question. I think the only thing we can tell you on that is that, literally up to 11 hour, the certainty of that execution was in question and we also in the intervening months have gotten much more confident of the depth of the sales market for the suburban asset class. So, we actually in lieu of pre-funding our $80 million original sales target within $91 million trade at Time Warner, we actually made a decision based upon the pipeline of sales velocity we saw to actually keep the $80 million and become additive to the target. So, it was an awkward timing situation for us and then with the passage of time, we just gained a lot more confidence in what we're seeing on the buy side of the market.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: Would you qualify that as a reverse inquiry trade or is that not qualified?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: No, that was not a reverse inquiry trade. That was part of a marketing program we had underway, just didn't have any visibility on it to be able to execute it.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: Second follow-up is on retention targeting still 57% for the year. Is that kind of a disappointment to you? I mean, you guys have historically seen retention targets rise over the course of the year. How do you feel about retention kind of staying for this quarter?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Rich, I think disappointing but I think a little bit of a continuum of recent trends where some of our larger corporate clients are still kind of going through this downsizing, rightsizing. You look at a tenant, still hasn't fully vacated yet, but a big impact on our retention is site tour down in the Toll Road Carter, given us back 110,000 square feet. Now, we've been successful in re-letting that space. But from a retention statistic, it has a negative impact. We've got 22 tenants north of 10,000 square feet still kind of in our will vacate column for the duration of the year. Our hope would be that we can ultimately convince some of the tenants less than 10,000 square feet to ultimately change their mind and continue to kind of work the tenant expansions, which has a positive impact on the retention calculation.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: If I could just quickly say, the $0.02 operating improvement – I know I'm on my third question, so I apologize, but a real quick – no change to your same-store range though for 2012, you're just saying top end of that range now basically?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: Yeah, I mean, that would be correct. It's a function of the additional million dollars we added to the leasing plan, the somewhat better expense profile in the first quarter and then just a lot of little stuff, but not big enough yet to move us outside the range we outlined earlier.
Operator: Dave Rodgers, RBC Capital Markets.
David Rodgers - RBC Capital Markets: Just talking about some of the dispositions that you had chatted about earlier in the call in the Q&A. What would cause you to kind of to maybe hit the high end of that range or could we see you increase the range again this year in terms of total disposition activity if pricing is right and would you need to see alternative investment opportunities, or you'd be happy holding more cash maybe going into the end of the year?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Look, I mean, there are two things that could drive the – towards the upper end of that guidance as we do acquisitions and we do better than we are anticipating right now on the lease executions and NOI generation during the year certainly to the extent that the sales target exceeds the 175 without having a corollary redeployment of that that would create some downward pressure for sure.
David Rodgers - RBC Capital Markets: Can you quantify the impact of the mild weather maybe this quarter and then versus when you think last year first quarter to second quarter, the type of the impact that you saw this year was it anything meaningful in FFO?
George D. Johnstone - SVP, Operations and Asset Management: Clearly our operating expenses were lower than we had originally projected due to the lack of snow. Also keep in mind that the snow expense for us has roughly a 60% reimbursement associated with it, so about 40% of the expense that was not incurred fell at the bottom line.
David Rodgers - RBC Capital Markets: Then I guess your ability or willingness to take on more value add, I think I heard you talk about in the context of DC and I don’t know if you addressed it more broadly. But just the aggressiveness with what you might be willing to take on more value add if in fact the leasing activity does continue to pick up as you feel it might throughout the course of the year?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Well that’s purely a market-by-market analysis. I mean, as the 3020 Market acquisition was purely a value add. Its action is sub marked with a less than 5% vacancy factoring and we’re 100% leased. Plymouth Meeting, that was a unique opportunity to acquire a very well construct and design building right within the heart of our Plymouth Meeting Executive Campus. We felt though given the leasing velocity the need for tenant expansions we were saying that was a glove fit to our portfolio. When you look, you look beyond that. I think it has to be an evaluation point on what our portfolio looks like in that marketplace. For example in Southern New Jersey, or Northern Virginia where we still are facing our own internal headwinds, and have paid a very different pricing metric we would evaluate to take on any additional risk in that market. So, we like opportunities where our leasing teams and regional management teams can really create value for us through a effective buy, but I think we are very mindful of balancing that capital return with the return we will be getting from our existing assets in those markets that are probably facing the same leasing headwinds to substantial acquisitions.
Operator: Michael Knott, Green Street Advisors.
Michael Knott - Green Street Advisors: I'd just like to make an addendum to John Guinee's question, your commentary that that was a non-traded REIT buyer I believe. Can you guys comment on pre-rent trends in the market, it seems like the direct capital leasing costs are fairly steady, but just curious how that part of it is trending?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: Yeah, look, I think it clearly is on every tenant's wish list. Basically to cover moving costs, wiring cabling and sometimes furniture or things along those lines that they need to come out of pocket for – it ranges anywhere from one to two months per lease year depending on the market and the overall capital investment that we are making on physical improvements. We've started to see a little bit of a trend even on renewals where the introduction of free rent has now be become part of the equation, but not necessary on an every deal basis.
Michael Knott - Green Street Advisors: Can you just remind us what are sort of the standard free rent periods for new and renewals?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: One or two months per lease year typically on a new deal.
Michael Knott - Green Street Advisors: Then on the redevelopment asset that you bought there in the (Philly) suburbs sort of the stabilized cap rate or value per pound would be upon stabilization, if you're going to be all-in at 180 a foot and 11 yield what was the hypothetically if you were going to flip that stabilized asset in the future what's sort of the ballpark figure there, just curious out of the 180 and when compared to a stabilized value and sort of full replacement costs?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Depending upon the level of finishing the building like that, in kind of the 70% to 80% replacement cost calculation. So from that standpoint it was also a very good transaction for us. Look the property location in the Plymouth meeting market which we as we called as far as Crescent suburban class is one of the higher investment submarkets in the buildup of your region. So, we certainly think that delivering that asset is an 11% free and clear return, fully loaded creates a lot of value for the company.
Michael Knott - Green Street Advisors: Last question, even though your stock has had a nice run this year it still trades about 15% below our NAV estimate. So just curious as the and to increase dispositions and not explicitly target additional acquisitions is part of you plan to get out of that box so to speak that you've been in for quite a while I would say?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: We're doing everything we can to move our stock up to at least net asset value and we think a lot of leasing activity of the last couple of years in particular last six quarters has really done a lot to move our NAV up, particularly when you take a look at the ability to fill up the empty space. So, we're very mindful of both current and intermediate term projected NAV. As a consequence, if you recall, on our last earnings discussion we talked about that with stock pricing at the levels that we're at, we certainly would not be using our ATM program, or any other equity issuances, as that would be aiding in our deleveraging plan, but certainly creating a detrimental effect on our net asset value. So we're hopeful that the continued acceleration of leasing through our portfolio will help our stock price get caught up to our current NAV and once we continue to demonstrate that we can outperform our markets and the general bias on leasing velocity in suburban office space becomes more positive, that that NAV will continue to rise in conjunction with our improved NOI.
Operator: Steve Sakwa, ISI Group.
Steve Sakwa - ISI Group: Just one quick question. The $50 million of securities on the balance sheet, could you tell us what those are?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: Steve, it's Howard. We looked at our cash balances and realized we had more cash than we would reasonably need in 2012, and we've taken the opportunity to purchase a number securities maturing in that instance, November 2013 others in October, some in January, just to improve the yield on the cash balances above what's available in the money market accounts.
Operator: Young Ku, Wells Fargo Securities.
Young Ku - Wells Fargo Securities LLC: In terms of your 2013 lease expirations you know it's still kind of early in 2012 but are there any major move outs that you guys are anticipating?
George D. Johnstone - SVP, Operations and Asset Management: We have a few that we are tracking. I guess for the largest probably with Intel in our Austin operation who were currently talking to about retaining some of the space and have an identified pipeline for taking the remainder and/or potentially all of the space. It is a little bit early we have been talking to several of the 13 expirations and they are probably the most notable on the potential move out with.
Young Ku - Wells Fargo Securities LLC: How big was that Intel space?
George D. Johnstone - SVP, Operations and Asset Management: About 164,000 square feet. The interesting thing about the Intel space is we did a three year renewal with them at midway the height of the crises and the rest of rate that they are paying is well below existing market. So, given the pipeline of leasing activity our local team has in place that's actually one of those opportunities we are looking forward to.
Young Ku - Wells Fargo Securities LLC: Just one other question about your investment opportunities. In terms of the types of products that you guys are looking for on the stabilized side, what kind of cap rate are the assets – are they trading at right now?
Thomas E. Wirth - EVP, Portfolio Management and Investments: The assets we are looking at they are kind of in the – if we are looking in the district and kind of those target markets we are looking out we are seeing them in the 7% to 8% range, and inside the district, below that. There would have to be a story to tell on those type of cap rates in terms of IRR, because we are pretty much IRR driven. So, the cap rate doesn't necessarily tell the whole story, but that’s kind of where the cap rates we’re seeing are now in that market. That’s one. If you look at Austin, which is the other market where leases trades, so you can get an idea, that’s pretty much in I think 7% cap rate range.
Operator: Ross Nussbaum, UBS.
Ross Nussbaum - UBS: One quick question. The 110 million of land that you guys have sitting on the book, how much of that do you really think you’re going to monetize over the next year or two?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: I think we have a number of parcels under planning and approval processes for alternative uses. So, I think our target would be to do about – this is a rough word of magnitude, subject to political climate and local zoning ordinances – of about a third of that in the next couple of years.
Ross Nussbaum - UBS: Roughly speaking, relative to book value, if you're going to rezoning for multi-family, do you think at the end of the day that it’s worth more than book?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: We do.
Ross Nussbaum - UBS: How much more?
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Well, we’re not going to give you a number on that, Ross, but we actually think – the reason we are going down this path is we think it’s a higher best value for the land. I think as we move through the process and demonstrate some results, I think my observation will be proven out.
Operator: Richard Anderson, BMO Capital Markets.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: Can you just give us, Howard, kind of a rough – I emailed you this, so with regard to this email, the preferred dividends for the second quarter and what they would be a more run rate basis? I assume that there is a lag time, so the second quarter might be a little funky.
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: The second quarter actually has a little bit of a double dividend in itself as we pay about – and all of that's captured in the guidance, we pay I think about $0.09 stub in closing out the preferred C shares, paid on the liquidation – on the redemption date. Then again subject to declaration which we obviously fully expect, the Series E shares will get their first dividend in mid-July on the regular cycle.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: So, the number should be – the second quarter should be the same in terms of preferred dividends and then you start a new in the third quarter. Is that right?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: I think the second quarter Series E dividend will be slightly elevated because it's settled on April 11, but I don't have the exact math in front of me. There is a little bit of a stub period one way or the other given its settlement date from an issuance standpoint, but nothing material.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: Do you have a full year preferred dividend number?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: That would be 6.9% of $25.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: Well, no. I mean, okay...
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: One of us could calculate.
Richard Anderson - BMO Capital Markets: I got it, that's easy. You said the charge – I thought you said that the charge was about $0.015, is that right in the second quarter?
Howard M. Sipzner - EVP and CFO: Yes, the write-off of the costs which have been booked to the equity section for the Series C, which are now expensed upon redemption are about $2.1 million.
Operator: At this time, there are no further questions.
Gerard H. Sweeney - President and CEO: Excellent. Thank you again very much for participating in the call. We look forward to seeing you at our June event. Thank you.

“Pot beans,” as frijoles de olla translates in English, are incredibly versatile. A pot of stewy beans on hand — whether frozen or just cooked — can turn into homemade refried beans, form the foundation of a non-Texan chili, be mashed into a base for bean dip or used to fill burritos. I like a big bowl of these hot from the pot, often served with cornbread or warmed tortillas and long-cooked pot greens on the side. Try some chopped onion or cilantro and shredded cheese to garnish the beans.
Ingredients:
1 pound (about 2 1⁄2 cups) dry beans of any type: red, navy, pinto, black, adzuki, speckled, what have you 2 tbsp bacon drippings 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped 1 bay leaf, broken in half Salt, to taste
Instructions:
Sort the beans by spilling them onto a baking sheet and removing any debris and broken beans. Transfer the beans to a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Pour the beans into a deep, heavy, 4- to 6-quart pot, such as a cast-iron Dutch oven, with a lid. Add 2 1⁄2 quarts cold water (use filtered water if yours is hard), then remove any beans that float. Add the bacon drippings, onion, garlic and bay leaf. Bring the beans to a rolling boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to low so the beans are at a gentle simmer. Cover the beans, tipping the lid a bit, and cook until they are thoroughly tender, about 2 hours. Add boiling water to the pot as needed to keep the broth covering the beans at its starting level.
When the beans are completely tender, season with 1 to 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt and cook 15 minutes longer. Eat as is, with salsa and additional chopped onion, or continue to the next step for refried beans.
Makes 8 to 10 servings as a side, 4 to 6 servings as a main course.
How to make refried beans: Drain the beans in a colander placed over a bowl to catch the broth. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat an additional quarter cup of bacon drippings or vegetable oil, then add the drained beans, a couple of spoonfuls at a time. Mash each addition of beans with a wooden spoon or, my preference, a potato masher.
When all beans have been mashed, stir in broth to give the beans the consistency of mashed potatoes — creamy, but with some larger bits. Taste and re-salt if necessary.

Not really sure how to word this, so I hope I can get my thoughts across clearly...
Is it how they kept their house? (dirty, messy, comfortable, spotless, whatever) Or is it how they related to you with regard to how they kept their house?
We had daily and weekly chores as kids. It was routine, happened religiously. My moms house was always perfectly clean. But it didn't help me learn how to manage a house.
Around 8 years ago, I worked retail part time for some Christmas money and my eyes were opened to how purposefully damaging and manipulative marketing was. I stopped mindless buying/shopping, and I started a deep decluttering process. I always had much less stuff than everyone I knew, and I felt like I couldn't even figure out how to manage that appropriately (despite me being a very organized, neat person by nature), it always made me feel worse. Keeping house was like living on a seesaw - I really was only taught how to keep a perfectly clean house, but my life didn't allow for that (five kids in 10 years, varying degrees of ppd and anxiety, a procrastinating - albeit trying to be helpful - husband who came from a disgusting house). Keeping things at a lived in, comfortable level has always been my goal. But reality is, I'd go from utter disaster to raging lunatic freaking out get it clean, then I couldn't maintain and it would slip back to disaster, and start all over again.
Now, my youngest is four, I have no clutter, and I've had 12 years to find out what works for me and what doesn't. I have a much better handle on things (or did, until my car accident and have been bedridden for 7 weeks, but that's a different story!).
I'm wondering what other people think the best way to have kids involved in the housekeeping process is, and how your experience growing up affects how you involve your children...
I believe it is my house and I am responsible for the level of cleanliness I find appropriate. But I also think the kids live here and there is a level of personal accountability. I don't believe in chart systems or tying allowance to chores that are basically cleaning up after yourself. Their bedrooms are theirs to decide how to maintain, although my limit is garbage and dishes. (Although, sometimes, it can get too much for me and I will ask if I can clean it for them, or if they want help cleaning. Honestly, I have slipped to freaking out and telling them they had to clean their room, but that was out of being overwhelmed and feeling disrespected, not that I think thats the best way to handle things.) I feel like the best way is for them to be involoved with the upkeep of the house in a positive way. The olders know how to run the washer/dryer, clean a bathroom, all of them can fold and put away their clothes, the three big ones can do dishes, trash, sweeping and mopping. The littles are learning, too. Lots of times I ask everyone to give a few minutes to work all together to do a general pick up when I'm feeling overwhelmed by things being messy.
My goal is they are involved enough in the maintenance of the house to learn the skills necessary to maintain their things and their living space comfortably, and that they apply those skills and their own preferences, which I'm sure will change as mine have over time, to create a healthy, comfortable home. I don't want something so basic as keeping a house to be something they struggle with as I did. And I hope me figuring things out all these years doesn't impact them negatively...
I'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas or stories anyone feels like sharing!

Here we go from today (20w5d):
Baby A:
3d, her face is on the left, Baby B's butt is on the top right
Profile
It's a girl! (We did see a better shot on screen than this, but it is still pretty clear even from this shot)
Baby B, he was being more cooperative for good photos:
3d, his face
3d, whole body
Profile
It's a boy! (we have two shots of this, he was really showing off, I like this one because part of the cord and placenta are visible too)
are you having a natural birth?

Anyone keep a separate journal about their pregnancy? I've been eyeing Sacred Pregnancy for this... I've always kept a journal, but I thought it might be nice to have one dedicated to the pregnancy for posterity (and if there's a loss, to feel like I have something to hold onto for this pregnancy).

:-) I always keep a journal throughout my pregnancies. Is just so lovely to look back on the memories of the special times, I add photos along the way, even unflattering ones taken by my son the morning i was in labour with his brother. But they're so precious.
I just buy an unruled journal and write every few days :-)

I started a journal with my first pregnancy (a loss) and have kept it up since then. It is just a regular paper journal, no prompted questions or anything, which tend to irritate me though I'm sure some find it useful. Sometimes it's a pain to take the time to write, but I'm always grateful when I am able to read back, so I keep it up.

I'm reading Creating a Joyful Birth Experience it has journaling exercises to get in touch with your body and the baby. My midwife told me its required reading for all her clients. I like it so far, i feel like journaling will be what saves me and my DH this pregnancy, all the hormones running through my body make it really hard for me to express myself to myself and to anyone at all!

Start to the left of a tree at a very smooth face with a few crimps below a small overhang about 10 feet up. Climb up the face and grab the shallow right facing flake (crux). Continue up the flake system and clip the 2nd bolt. From here, head up and then left to clip the 3rd bolt. The clipping jug is solid, yet it looks like it should just fall out. From here, make a big reach to a large slopper and then head up the anchors. This is pretty nice climb, despite it's short stature. The opening moves are pretty difficult for the grade.
Walk upstream from The Snake Buttress proper. After passing the What a Jam corner and passing the large block about 15 ft back from the cliff, you'll come to a very clean and smooth white face. This route starts just to the left of a large tree. It's the 2nd bolted route to the left of the Scream Seam corner.

An impressive run of late, Irin. Congratulations!
Oh, Irin that's wonderful. Way to show us how its done.
Congrats Irin!!!
Building up a long list of success. WTG!
Fantastic, Irin! I love it when true talent is recognized... and that talent belongs to such a great guy.
Thanks all. Very nice of you.
KUDOS SIR IRIN
KUDOS SIR IRIN
Great job, Irin.
Okay, so, I saw the "news" that Irin won the Feeding Frenzy contest. It was posted at the top of the "News" on moviebytes on July 16th and so I started a thread to congratulate Irin. I forgot that we had gone through this a couple of weeks ago. I just thought Irin was winning EVERYTHING! But, I'm just explaining, not apologizing, cause you can't congratulate this guy too much. We all appreciate the recognition of our fellow writers. Now, some people on this BB seem to know Irin and they say he's a great guy, very deserving. I don't know him personally so I think he's a dog and that he plagiarized JUNIOR DETECTIVES from an unproduced script by the writing team of Eric Roth and Terry Rossio. I mean, think about it, he's beating ME in these contests! That alone should make his writing suspect. And what about that name Irin? Have you ever met a guy named Irin? I think it must be Serbian for "story pirate." So, maybe we should warn all the contests to watch out for this guy named Irin Evers and throw out any submissions in his name, especially scripts in the family, action, horror, historical and romance genres. Is anyone with me on this? Actually, I don't think Irin stole his script from Eric Roth and Terry Rossio. I think Eric Roth and Terry Rossion are using the pseudonym Irin Evers because they aren't eligible to enter contests since they have earned more than $10,000 writing for film and/or TV.
OMG.
You caught me. I'm really Shane Black. I just wanted to see if I could get some recognition without my name attached - like Eric Clapton in Derek and the Dominos!
I do appreciate the threads though.
And my "Irin" was made up by my parents who named me after my grandfather "Isaac" - "Isaac" wasn't so hip in 70's (unless you were a bartender on the Love Boat) so my parents made up an "I" name. Seriously.
And Calliope ain't doin' half bad!.
Irin Evers is one of the most honest writers I have the pleasure of knowing. There's no way he would continue to enter his work in contests he's not eligible for, not to mention if he became ineligible after entering, he has the integrity to be upfront and pull his work from that contest. He also doesn't have a jealous bone in his body and is truly happy when his peers succeed. It's always been his way with not only me both to my face and in emails, but to other writers I know as well. Including writers on this board.
Irin deserves our congrats for his accomplishments, not put-downs. His humor was misinterpreted and he deserves an apology.
I was just teasing. I think Terry was too. Maybe not, Terry?
I don't think I'd be spending all this money and time on contests just to screw you guys. But if you want me out of the contest circuit, help me sell a script! That'll get me out for good. I swear!
Kidding. (Am I?) Maybe I shouldn't write comedy?
Janet, you're nothing but a big cry baby. If you feel you can't compete against the likes of Irin, perhaps screenwriting isn't for you. This is a tough competitive business and there's no room for unskilled whiners. Can you spell amateur?
I thought Terry's message was a great example of guys kidding/complimenting each other and a great example of subtext in dialogue. Very funny and well done. Now, let's try to sell a script for Irin. :-)
it's the irin love fest thread. i'll throw my two cents in that he is charming and cute to boot!
he enters and wins so much stuff i can't keep track of it. is there a group for this addiction?
oh wait, that must be the moviebytes forum.
congrats my dear
again.
Gadzooks, folks, I was throwing Irin a compliment! Eric Roth and Terry Rossio are two of the most famous, highest paid screenwriters alive. Why in the world would they fiddle around with contests when they can pull a cool million just for adding their names to a project? I was suggesting that Irin's writing compares with that of two of the best. So settle down and pay attention!
Meanwhile, seriously, now, folks, let's get Irin banned from competitions. There must be something we can do. Let's hire a detective to look into every little detail of his life until we come up with something disqualifying. Maybe he has a second cousin once removed whose stepfather once worked as the assistant to a PA for someone who was once a reader for the Nicholl Fellowships. Maybe he once mowed Quentin Tarantino's lawn. Maybe he didn't pay for his popcorn at an AMC movie theater. There MUST be SOMETHING! Put your thinking caps on, folks, or none of us will ever again get to add "Winner" to our resume and the BB will erode to one never-ending thread entitled "CONGRATULATIONS, AGAIN, IRIN."
Children, children, now lets calm down, it was just a little teasing between the boys. You know how boys can be.
So everyone take a deep breath, there it's all better.
Now Irin and Terry go to your seperate corners, stop with the spitballs. Shame on you's two.
Eric stop pulling Janet's braids, she doesn't like that and you know it, remember the last time you put that spider on her shoulder, so be nice.
Now everyone get back to your desks and get to work.

MB Preschool
I would just like to add that I have nothing to add.
I didn't either but I couldn't help!
Janet,
Dont be so bummed about Page. A lot of people made QF and nothing happend. I think we should all pitch in and move Irin to an island somewhere out west. Maby once he gets in the sun for a while it will kill some creative brain cells. With his Gucci top siders and warm leather seats to keep his time occupied, oh dont forget the boat, and lots of girls, lots of girls, his mind will wander off and everyone can get back to normal. How about it I.... Sound good to you....
How about a contest fee surcharge? Every contest could add a $1 surcharge to its fee to be paid to Irin to not enter. That would put some serious cash in a good man's pocket and level the playing field for the rest of us.
Let's throw him a party and kick his a....that way we can break his hands so he can't write....he'll probably write with his mouth...damn
boys, boys did it ever occur to you that Irin knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebootie, opps.
Jean, you're the flower child, jump in here, ya know 'the everything is beautiful in it's own way', kinda thing. That sunshine, lolipops and rainbows everything..., ya know or is it Bobby McGhee, Janice Joplin kinda thing?
okay I'm done.
evie
Lady Day, Anita O'Day, Sassy, Hawk, Coltrane, Miles, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Houston Person, Roy Hargrove...now you're talking.
jean, by any chance were you at Woodstock? Ravi Shankar, Jimi Hendrixs, ya know that hippie stuff.

Hardly my scene, Evie. :(
Don't let her kid you MB high, little Jean was at our campground at woodstock. She passed on any extra curricular activities, as she wrote the day away. With flowers in her hair, the smell of patchouli comming from her 67 volkswagen van and thoughts and sounds of music filled the air. She danced in the rain and not a care in the world, left her mellow mind at ease to take in all her surrounding's.
Pachouli is the money incense. :)
E,
You might need a new mouse!
ya think

this is getting real tired.

Imagine the audacity of wanting to dispose of your own money as you see fit? The idea is hateful to Bill Scher of the Huffington Post, who demanded in “Super Wealthy Deathly Afraid Estate Tax Would Reduce Deficit [1]” on March 9 that the wealthy “pay their fair share.”
Scher railed against the Bush tax cuts, and asserted that a 35-45 percent inheritance penalty (the estate tax or death tax [2]) isn’t punitive enough to stem the deficit crisis.
“But those massive tax breaks to the superwealthy don’t quite have the same juice they used to. Especially, the estate tax – levied on the inheritances of the wealthiest heirs in
But all that wealth is not lost to redistribution forever. “But in 2011, it returns! Inheritance income above the $2 million threshold would be subject to a 55% tax. And after fanning the flames of deficit hysteria to squelch progressive reforms, corporate lobbyists are terrified that the estate tax would actually help reduce the deficit.”
Citing a Bloomberg report saying, “‘a revived estate tax at pre-2001 levels would collect more than $34 billion next year and about $410 billion through 2019.’ The wealthiest heirs having to pay their fair share and help cut the deficit. The horror!”
As the National Taxpayers Union [3] and Daniel J. Mitchell of the Cato Institute [4] note, truth is the “estate tax” hampers job-creation, promotes the concentration of wealth, hits minorities particularly hard (reminiscent of “sin” taxes), and contributed just 1.14 percent to federal revenue in 2008.
And as previous reported by the Business and Media Institute [5], the
But Scher could grasp neither the practical reality nor the immorality of confiscatory taxes on legal, fairly earned wealth. “What’s stunning.”
But those greedy rich aren’t satisfied.
“A $10 million exemption and a 35% rate above that is not very sweet at all,” Scher continues, alluding to previous proposals from Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) to lower the rate. “It’s a bitter windfall to the Paris Hilton set. But thanks to the combination of their greed, and their exploitation of deficit hysteria, the superwealthy may actually have to pay their fair share on their inheritances after all.”
In a world where the top-10 [6] percent of income-earners in

Valkyrie is the most elaborate and expensive anti-smoking public-service announcement ever to be made – and it’s all thanks to the health consciousness of Der Fuhrer.
I'm guessing that this film's ending was actually forced on Bruckheimer by director Joel Schumacher and that we'll see a whole slew of "alternate" endings on the DVD. Here's a preview.
This film moves about as fast as Stewart talks.
This particular rating belongs strictly to its own class of film, which is the "hi, I made this movie in my backyard with my digital camera for no money and please review it, Mr. Cranky, please."
"Save my dog!"
In order to make this film more than an hour long, there are two small subplots involving a pig farmer and the woman he wants to marry, and a young boy and a priest. To the film's credit, the second subplot does not involve a game of "Find Jesus in My Pants."
For me, the entertainment value of country music ranks right up there with accidentally sticking my hand in a hornet's nest and having a knitting needle plunged through one of my testicles. Simultaneously.
"Give me an A! Give mean N! Give me a G, S, T! What does that spell? ANGST! ANGST! Yay!"
Heavy-handed sermons regarding the idea that no one on Wall Street produces anything of value, that ideas are as worthless as dirt and that an honest day's work trumps pretty much any other career choice. In essence, it's like your grandfather screaming at you during Thanksgiving dinner, only instead of the incontinence and suspenders we get smug self-righteousness from a director who…pretty much has never worked an honest day in his life.
I don't like clay.
It goes something like, "Wow, here come the aliens. You never expressed your love, Dad!" It's that awkward.
I wonder how many of these idiot commanders who walked around the combat zone like Robert Duvall in "Apocalypse Now" ended up with their brains splattered across the battlefield like lukewarm marmalade.
Here's this film in a nutshell: "Heathers" meets "Kids".
I have the same reaction to watching Michelle Pfeiffer's movies as I do to eating veal.
Director Rob Reiner and writer Nora Ephron are to blame for starting the entire genre of "Meg dates Schlub" films.
I think it's relevant now to stop and consider that young men masturbate to pictures of Jessica Rabbit.
This is the kind of film that drives most people completely insane.
With a nagging wife, three screaming kids, and no prospect for ever being free from burden again, it's no wonder that Michel can't function without superficial approval.
I sat through this entire movie watching a wizened Michael Douglas and thinking to myself, "Holy shit. That scrawny old man is bumping his scraggly gray pubes against the groin of Catherine Zeta-Jones."
When Oliver Stone is scared to be Oliver Stone, then it's too early for him to examine any kind of cultural event.

Quirk: Farewell to a legendary coach
It’s the type of story they make Hollywood movies about, although if you pitched this to Disney they might tell you it’s a bit of a stretch.
No way coach Vin Ascolese coaches long enough to stand on the sideline with his grandson Vinny. No way after fifty years of coaching does Ascolese still have it, and there’s certainly no way North Bergen beats double-digit favorite Montclair in the state championship in Ascolese’s last game.
But as the saying goes, that’s why they play the games.
In what can only be called the most fitting of endings to a remarkable career that has spanned five decades, Ascolese’s North Bergen Bruins upset Montclair 14-13 in the North 2 Group 4 finals. It was the best finish ever at MetLife Stadium and certainly one of the best in state finals history.
“Number one,” Ascolese said of where this game ranks all-time in his book. “I really can’t believe it, it’s a miracle. We did it. We did it.”
The Bruins jumped out to an 8-0 lead after Eric McMullen’s 9-yard touchdown run but would find themselves trailing 13-8 at the half after two Khalif Herbin touchdowns for the Mounties. The score would stay that way until the very last drive of the game.
With :02 on the clock and the Bruins driving, quarterback Sergio Rodriguez rushed his team to the line for a spike and the chance at one final play. With 22 yards separating North Bergen from its fairytale ending, Rodriguez locked in on wide out Debray Tavares and lofted a ball high above triple coverage.
“I knew he would catch it and I knew we would win this game,” said the always-confident Vinny, who in fairness said this team would win states before the season even started. “I wanted this so badly for my grandfather and I’m just so happy to get it for him, what a game, what a year.”
Tavares ascended high into the night sky and when the four players separated, No. 3 in white had the ball and the massive celebration was on. Players and coaches cried and embraced one another, not entirely sure they had actually seen what just took place.
“This beats anything that I ever did in 50 years,” said coach Ascolese. “It means everything to me. I can’t even believe it.”
“I have no idea,” young Vinny said when asked how his team pulled it off. “I’m in shock. I mean, I knew we could do it, but I don’t think anyone thought it would go down like this. It’s awesome.”
Vinny’s grandfather took over the Bruins program in 1972 after 11 seasons as a coach at Hoboken High School and before Vinny was even born. Years later, the two discussed the prospect of someday becoming coach and player when Vinny was still in grade school and coach Ascolese wasn’t so sure it would ever happen.
“I never doubted that he would play for North Bergen, I just didn’t know if I would still be around,” Vin explained. “I won it with my sons and now I won it with him, it’s pretty special stuff.”
All three of Ascolese’s sons -- Mike, Vinny and Greg -- won state championships in 1978, 1984 and 1990, respectively. Now the Ascolese’s have a title in the new millennium, trophy number six for the mantle.
Ascolese finishes with a career record of 359-124-7, a career win percentage of just over 73 percent. This perhaps was the most trying of all seasons for the Ascolese family, both because of the team’s tough 1-2 start, as well as the failing health of the clan's patriarch.
Vin has been fighting cancer and at times was almost too weak to even make it to Bruins practices, something that wasn’t overlooked by young Vinny and his mates.
“He’s the toughest man I’ve ever known,” Vinny said of his granddad. “Week in and week out he gave us every ounce of energy he had at age 73. To have that passion like he’s still a young man, it’s been an inspiration to all of us.”
After a ceremony in James J. Braddock Park early last month, Bruins Stadium was renamed ‘Vin Ascolese Field’ but the occasion was marred by the Bruins dropping its final regular season game to Peddie in disappointing fashion.
Ascolese would deliver a speech post-game in which he talked about each day being a game of Russian Roulette and that he didn’t have a lot of time, that he wanted to win now.
His team responded by ripping off the three straight wins it would need to hoist the crown and the entire Ascolese family embraced and celebrated at the 50-yard line, just like in Hollywood.

The overall message is one students at Jackson State University have heard before, the do's and don'ts of getting behind the wheel.
"Don't drink and drive. Designate a driver. Avoid distracted driving and buckle your seat belt every time you get in the car," said Department of Public Safety spokesman John Kalahar.
It's that last point which state safety leaders say is becoming more and more concerning, especially for minorities.
In 2010, 641 people were killed in car crashes in Mississippi, 242 of them were African- Americans, making up 38 percent of all traffic deaths last year. Of those, African-American deaths, 65 percent were drivers who didn't wear their seat belt.
"Mississippi is a very rural state and the largest no seat belt use is in rural areas, we're trying to get that word out," said Mississippi Highway Patrol Director Colonel Donnell Berry.
According to the Department of Public Safety, average seat belt usage in Mississippi is about 82 percent, with women at a higher rate than men. When it comes to race, the state's black population, men and women, is below the average.
"Information has not flown and transcended into these particular communities," said National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration contractor Luther Perry.
Perry says the lack of driver education in minority areas has a big impact on why folks may not be buckling up. Perry is even working with Mississippi's historically black colleges and universities to try and fill the gap.
"We've asked them to develop and implement a traffic safety program on campus to where it resonates," said Perry.
By teaming up with state agencies and universities, Perry hopes seat belt usage will increase among at risk communities, but knows it starts with a plan of action.
"We have to do a better job in terms of making sure all the information gets to that particular culture and group of folks," said Perry.
Additional outreach events are also being planned across the state to help drive home the message of buckling up. | http://www.msnewsnow.com/story/16078130/buckling-down-on-buckling-up | 2013-05-18T10:53:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

For Immediate Release - December 8, 2000
Anastasia Burton
(406) 444-5523
(HELENA)---Governor Marc Racicot today called upon Montana's citizens and businesses to begin conserving electricity immediately in anticipation of a deep cold spell expected to arrive in the Pacific Northwest by Sunday.
Governor Racicot issued the call in response to a warning issued today by regional energy experts. A warning is issued when regional forecasts indicate that the demand for electricity can only be met after implementing extraordinary actions.
"A number of factors are combining in the next few days that require all Montanans to begin conserving power immediately," said Governor Racicot. "Voluntary conservation today may mean we will avoid disruptions when the cold weather settles in on Monday."
Governor Racicot continued, "Cold weather and a tight energy supply make it especially important that people in Montana and throughout the Northwest reduce their energy use as they go about their day. Even the smallest acts of conservation will add up to help us through this situation."
"I urge every family and every business to take some simple steps that will help avert disruptions," Racicot added. Examples include:Turning off lights in empty rooms
Governor Racicot said that a number of factors have led to this situation including: | http://www.mt.gov/racicot/press/Cold1200.htm | 2013-05-18T10:31:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Had to do something that is rare here and I did not like it. Shovel snow off my steps! Had about 3 inches and the whole area when wild. Do not see how yours guys in the great white north do it. Dan
I wish I had some to shovel. The drought continues.
Steve: What would you trade ( T parts only to kept it on topic) for a cardboard box full. Hurry with reply it is melting.
Dan.
Dan;
Where are you located or is a secret????
No location on your profile.
There's a big front page article in our local paper this morning about the lack of snow. Sorry, Dan, but you can have it. We've had plenty in the past and will get it in the future, but right now we have almost none.
Enjoy it while it lasts...
Keith
It's all my fault!
After being innundated with snow here in the Mid-Atlantic year in year out, blizzard in blizzard out, while I just happened to be out of town on business leaving clean-up to the missus since the boys are grown and have their own places to shovel first...
I had to mail order one of those Minneapolis 'specials' of a snow blower because they don't sell them here, the near strap yourself in, electric start, 26" cut, 6 speed forward, 2 reverse, power steering. I put it together the day it came in December 2011...have yet (or rather she has yet) to have to put gas in it
You guys can keep that kind of the snow!
Dan,
I would have expected to see a picture of the Snow with your Hand in it <grin>.

It is a secret, so when it is time for the auction my wife will not be bothered by early birds.
Middle Alabama. Close to B'ham. Dan
My Son went to college in Vermont. About 400 miles almost dead north from home. We went to visit one February. Mistake. Houses with ladders permanently mounted outside for roof snow removal. 8 foot flags on the fire hydrants and snow mobiles with license plates & inspection stickers. Some of you are used to this and some probably love it. Pass.
Chicago has had 1.3 inches this season a new record, we, an hour south, are at .1 inches. nothing in sight.
Be_Zero_Be: No way! Just got done with cleaning up the mess in garage where the stuff melted off wife's car when she came home from work last night. Did not see any on it when she backed in, but this morn there was a mess. Guess it was all under the #*!**^^# thing.
Al Gore should be happy. His policys are paying off. Soon we will be in the next ice age. Even here in California, I had to burn a whole month's firewood in one week. It was so cold we kept the wood stove going 24 hours a day. Now it's back to normal with 70 or higher days and 40 nights. I guess last week was "winter".
Norm
Send some of that heat up here to frigid MN. The high on Sunday/Monday is supposed to be -1 degree. I'd take 30 degrees and a foot of snow any day. | http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=331880&post=493352 | 2013-05-18T10:41:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Brooklyn-based music producer and remixer Alan Wilkis is accustomed to remixing other artists, including Yelle, Yeasayer, Phantogram and the Very Best. Now, 18 months after remixing RJD2′s “The Shining Path,” the producer returns the favor, revamping Wilkis’ track “Come and Go” featuring Brooklyn duo the Kickdrums.
“Musically, I wanted to explore the common space in between extreme opposites,” Wilkis tells Hive of the original track, which blends smooth, balladic rock with squelchy electronic music. “I wanted to create something that felt both in slow-motion and hyper-speed at the same time and something that felt hard-hitting — like a punch to the gut — while still feeling uplifting and positive.”
RJD2 lays down live instrumentation and warms up Wilkis’ electronic-based original. For Wilkis, it’s the perfect way to approach a remix. “I think he takes the idea of the song and transports it to a completely different context, which is exactly what a great remix should do,” Wilkis says. “The original song is so electronic and technology-oriented, whereas RJ’s remix is completely organic; he played each of those parts — the drums, keys, bass — live in his studio. I love it.” So do we, man. So do we.

Sharon Alberts, a long-time fan of Kenny Rogers, waited 10 years for the chance to see the legendary performer face to face again.
On Friday night, Alberts not only attended his concert at Emens Auditorium, but she spent about 10 minutes with him backstage. It was the first time she had left her home - with the exception of her daughter's wedding - since the last time she saw Rogers.
Multiple Sclerosis prevents Alberts, 50, from moving her body below her neck. She typically moves others around her, however, with her steady cheerfulness and positive attitude.
Before the concert, Alberts was escorted backstage to meet the man whom she now refers to simply as "Kenny." They sat together, him holding her arm, for about 10 minutes.
"He thanked me for coming to see him, but I was in La-la land, and just enjoyed him being with me," Alberts said. "He was not formal, as I would have expected him to be. It was just like we've known each other all our lives."
Her inspiring disposition has drawn the folks at The Waters of Yorktown, the long-term health-care facility where she lives, to rally around her in support of her undying interest in Rogers. The staff worked several weeks to arrange transportation, nursing care, tickets and a backstage meeting with Rogers, a man Alberts says is "perfect."
In 1992, she met Rogers at a concert. That night, she wore a purple top and black pants. Looking at his purple jacket, she told him that they matched. He replied that he knew he had worn purple for a reason.
In the past few weeks, Alberts was unaware of the scurrying going on behind the scenes. To start arrangements, activities director Sally Anderson contacted Never Too Late, a non-profit organization, to see whether it could help with the expenses.
The director, Bob Haverstick, didn't hesitate to help. While on the telephone, he wrote the check to cover the tickets and nursing care.
"We try to make wishes come true for folks in long-term health care," Haverstick said. "It makes you feel almost as good as they do, to be helping out."
Comfort Care discounted its van service, which includes a lift, to transport Alberts to the concert.
Rogers had agreed to a backstage meeting with Alberts and her nurse, asking only that media not be present. He said he didn't want to promote himself in the meeting, only to meet with Alberts.
Administrator Diane Harrold accompanied Anderson when she told Alberts about her opportunity for another meeting with Rogers.
"Her face was exuberant!" Harrold said. "I stood at her bedside and wept as I witnessed her face lit ear to ear with that lovely smile."
On the day of the concert, Alberts's hair was styled, and she was primped in her new outfit, bought by her mother, Wanda Thacker.
"This is a highlight in her life," Thacker said. | http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/news/Dec2002/WomanwMSKennyRogersFan.html | 2013-05-18T11:01:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
This weeks The Gallery theme chosen by Tara at Sticky Fingers is Playtime.
I think everyone, whatever their age, enjoys playtime. Since having Burton it has been great playing with toys again,making silly faces, blowing raspberries, rolling around on the floor and just generally being a kid again! Such great fun and happy moments with lots of laughter and learning.
Burton's favourite playtime though is at bath time. To start with he did not like the water at all and screamed!
However, since he was a few weeks old we have given him a bath almost every night as part of his bedtime routine. After a few more weeks we got him used to having water splashed on his face and lying in the water, to give him confidence and to not fear water.
Well it soon became clear that he loved bath time and water and some times it has been hard to get him out of the bath!! Sometimes I think Daddy and I have got more wet than he has from all the splashing and kicking....and the floor.....the window blinds.....and the baby changing unit!!
This has helped with us introducing him to swimming at the local pool he loves it! He splashes about, gets dunked and sits on edge of the pool and pushes himself into the water! We have been taking him since he was 6months old and other swimmers have marvelled at how confident he is in the water.
Now at bath time we have to fill it so full of toys and the baby product bottles, I am surprised Burton has any room to enjoy the bubbles! He sits up one minute, lies on his front splashing furiously the next and more recently has started trying to stand up!! The whole time laughing and smiling.
Here are a couple of recent bath time play time photos
He loves either the taps or shower being run so he can play with the flowing water!
Playtime is the best time:fact!
Aaaahhhh! So cute! Bathtime was a great idea for playtime prompt!!
Maggy
I am loving the smiles in the last couple of images - just wonderful
Ah, so cute and perfect for the prompt. Baby V was the same, not so sure at first but now I think bathtime is her favourite time of the day,as soon as we mention it she starts tugging at her clothes to get undressed! x
Lovely smiles!
My two are the same, it's often a effort to make them get out of the bath!
Oh that looks like so much fun :) We love bathtime :)
Gorgeous. I also had a water baby till he hit four! Now getting him into the bath equates a military operation. But once he's in its all hands on deck and I don't see him for ages. Beautiful pictures.
How cute!!! Great photos. He is having so much fun obviously.
Great pictures - bathtime is a great chance for some splashing fun. I'd love you to come and link up with the Play Academy too if you'd like to share your play idea. :)
aaww :D
bathtime is sooooooooo much fun. great photos :)
Lovely pictures, he is so cute. Bathtime has also been our favourite time and now we love going swimming ;)
What fun! All 4 of mine used to bath together and it was a very special time! I love that smile in the last photo, gorgeous!
Interesting that he likes the running water. All of my three absolutely adore the bath, but hate the water running. Weird.
hehe....he's having great fun!
My little one is exactly the same - loves splashing in the water. Our floor gets a good wash everytime!
I have an almost identical photograph to the one at the top. A brand new Noah screaming his lungs out during his fisrt bath. Like Burton, we can't get him out of the bath these days. His new trick is to see how high his wee will hit the tiles *sigh*
Awwwwww... he does look so happy! Mine also love splashing in water (a lot!) and the shower!
Wow, that's a lot of bath toys! And one very happy little boy, how adorable! | http://www.mummymishaps.blogspot.com/2010/08/gallery-playtime.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:44 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Year-In-Review
May
Dr. James Greenlee, a professor of history at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, was the recipient of this year's Principal's Teaching Award, presented annually to recognize and encourage excellence in teaching, teaching innovation and leadership. He was officially recognized for his contribution to the university during Grenfell's May convocation ceremony.
Newfoundland and Labrador's home-grown television personality Rick Mercer led a remarkable list of luminaries who were honoured by Memorial University during this year's spring convocation. In order of presentation, this spring's honorary graduands are comedian and writer Rick Mer.
At Sir Wilfred Grenfell College spring convocation ceremony on May 13th , award-winning Newfoundland actor, writer and television personality Rick Mercer received an honorary doctor of letters degree. Memorial University's west coast campus saw 163 students accept degrees in arts, science, fine arts, commerce, social work, education and business administration during the last ceremony.
Memorial University's Come East-Go Further television advertisement, a joint project between Memorial's Office of Student Recruitment and Division of University Relations, was recognized with yet another award. The commercial received bronze in the Electronic Media: PSAs and Commercial Spots category of the Circle of Excellence Awards Program presented by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Previously, the advertisement has fetched provincial recognition with an Award of Merit from the Newfoundland and Labrador chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) as well as international recognition with a bronze award from CASE District 1. resulted in Dr. Gunther being named a 3-M Teaching Fellow for 2005. The award recognizes excellence in teaching over an extended period of time, principally at the undergraduate level, and also acknowledges leadership and commitment to the improvement of university teaching within the candidate's own institution..
On May 9, 80 students started the new fast-track delivery bachelor of education (primary/elementary) degree program. The program is offered at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook and the St. John's campus, with 40 students accepted at each site. Dr. Alice Collins, dean of Education, said the fast-track delivery was developed in response to a number of identified needs. Many students who apply to the B.Ed. (primary/elementary) program are already fairly well along in their academic programs, but under the regular program it can take up to three years more years to earn the education degree. The fast-track delivery enables students with at least 78 credits to complete the program in four consecutive semesters.
Dr. Gary Gorman, dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, was appointed chair of the Business Advisory Board for the provincial government. The appointment was announced by Premier Danny Williams at a news conference May 31. The newly established Business Advisory Board reports to the Department of Business and will meet throughout the year and provide advice and recommendations to government. | http://www.mun.ca/2005report/year/may.php | 2013-05-18T11:02:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Fairgoers enjoying the color and light of the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago had no idea that not far away Dr. Henry Howard Holmes had set up his own dark, private exhibition of death and torture on a scale comparable to that of the fair itself. Though sometimes mistakenly called America's first serial killer, he could very well be its most prodigious. He was convicted of only one murder, but Holmes confessed to 27 and the actual total could have been as high as 230.
Date: 1879? - 1894
Location: Chicago, IL; Irvington, IN; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Philadelphia, PA
Victims: Convicted of murdering Benjamin Pitezel, confessed to murdering 27 men, women and children, other estimates put the total as high as 230 murders.
Cause of Death: Pitezel was burned alive, others were asphyxiated, burned, tortured.
Accused: Herman Webster Mudgett, alias Dr. Henry Howard Holmes
Arrested: Boston, November 17, 1894
Synopsis:.
Holmes took a job at the drugstore of Dr. E. S. Holton on the corner of Wallace and 63rd Street in Englewood, IL, south of Chicago. Holton was dying of cancer and Holmes convinced Holton's wife to sell him the store, assuring her she could continue living upstairs after the doctor died. After Dr. Holton died Holmes murdered Mrs. Holton, disposed of her body, and told her friends and relative she had moved to California.
He operated the Castle as a hotel for visitors to the fair. In the privacy of his soundproof rooms, Holmes would torture and kill hotel guests. Some were locked in rooms fitted with gas lines controlled by Holmes; he would turn on the gas when they slept. Others were locked in a bank vault near his office where he could listen to their screams as they suffocated. The bodies were dropped down a greased chute to the basement which was outfitted with a dissecting table, a lime pit, and an enormous furnace. After removing the flesh and cleaning the bones, he would reassemble the skeletons and sell them to medical schools..
Trial: Philadelphia, October 28, 1895
Holmes chose to handle his own defense at the trial and The Philadelphia Inquirer described his performance as "vigorous and remarkable." But he had failed to establish his case and by the end of the first day he brought his two attorneys back into the case. The prosecution's presentation was thorough and methodical and in the end they prevailed.
Verdict: Guilty of first degree murder.
Outcome:
H. H. Holmes was sentenced to hang. After his conviction, the Hearst newspapers paid Holmes $7,500 to tell his story. In a series of articles he confessed to killing 27 people in Chicago. Chicago police investigated the Castle and using missing person lists and testimony of neighbors placed the estimated body count as high as 230.
On May 7, 1896 Holmes was hanged at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia. In accordance with his last wishes, Holmes's coffin was filled with cement before being nailed shut and buried in a grave ten feet deep with two feet of sand and concrete poured in before it was covered with dirt. He wanted to guarantee that no one would dissect his corpse as he had done to so many others.

Post subject: New version of fixed xorgwizard
Subject description: Makes user choose the appropriate video mode.
Dennis & Dave, please do not proagate the workaround that gets Dennis' laptop to work; it is not appropriate for general use because all video adapters would be treated the same.
I am attaching a new version of the wizard that should fix everyone's problem that has been reported. Instead of trying to substitute for the failing Xvesa results, it is consistent with the current design that lets the user choose a video mode if the wizard cannot determine it. (That's how my ThinkPads are handled, even though they do not hang like the Tecras/Porteges.) The "problem-adapters" file is no longer used, so the "remaster mess" is avoided.
In addition to checking for specific adapters, it looks for segment faults and failure to find the needed info from ddcprobe; that should take care of Mat's case. For Dennis, I included two tests for the 8820 because the "oem:" is always followed by a space; Dennis, please check your ddcprobe output and tell me which format is correct (with or without the space).
Please, would each of you try the new version, xorgwizard2, and give me feedback. Thanks.
(After copying/extracting xorgwizard2 to /usr/sbin, rename it to xorgwizard to have it run during bootup. Otherwise, when bootup hangs, ctrl-c out of the hang and enter xorgwizard2, then xwin.)
xorgwizard2.tar.gz
Description

Post subject: Let's work with the latest version -- xorgwizard2
I am sorry you are having trouble testing this fix. So let's all work with the latest version, which is simpler than the others, so less room for errors.
First, I'll explain the logic -- what it checks for -- and then how I test, step by step. Here is the code that should run for your cases (EDIT (11/19/07): corrected to match latest version):
Code:
#For some Tecra and Portege laptops (and any others generating a segment fault or edidfail in ddcprobe), avoid Xvesa/other hang by skipping detection and letting the user choose the appropriate video mode. #rerwin begin
if grep -q -F -x 'edidfail
oem: MagicGraph 256 AV 44K PRELIMINARY
oem: Trident CYBER 8820
oem: Trident CYBER 8620' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt;then
HORIZSYNC=""
VERTREFRESH=""
else #rerwin end
. . . [logic that hangs]
fi #rerwin
. . .
#if ddcprobe also failed, have to ask monitor type...
if [ "$HORIZSYNC" = "" -o "$VERTREFRESH" = "" ];then #"" if monitor not plug-n-play.
[Displays the long list of all possible safe video modes (A through Z).]
The "grep" statement includes all of the strings (between the ticks) it considers indicative of a problem adapter. Please be sure that your ddcprobe output contains one of those exact strings; I took them from your postings, so please tell me of any typos that crept in.
Given that the code is so simple, if it finds a match it will display the dialog. Therefore the hanging suggests that it is not finding a match.
Now, here are my test steps, avoiding any complications, on my Tecra8000 that has no HD:
Quote:
1. Extract xorgwizard2 from xorgwizard2.tar.gz to the top level of a USB flash drive, by Menu>Utilities>Xarchive archiver, on some other puppy system.
2. In the subject laptop, insert the flash drive, boot up from the Puppy 3.01 CD, and enter "puppy pfix=ram,nox" at the boot prompt.
3. Select a keyboard layout and <enter>.
4. Enter "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -t vfat" to mount the flash drive and use long filenames (-t vfat).
5. Enter "cp /mnt/flash/xorgwizard2 /usr/sbin/" to copy the script.
6. Enter "umount /mnt/flash" to unmount the flash drive and avoid any problems caused by its being already mounted.
7. Enter "xorgwizard2" to run the script.
8. Select "Xorg" in the resultant dialog.
9. Wait for the two pink "Probing" lines to come and go -- The wizard dialog beginning with "Automatic probing ... was unsuccessful" should be displayed.
10. Select the second (B) line if your screen resolution is 800x600; the third (C) line if 1024x768, then OK, and OK again.
11. At the resultant prompt, enter "xwin" to start the desktop.
If it still hangs, boot again the same way but at the after-bootup prompt (before step 4 above) enter "ddcprobe" and find the line we are trying to match, to be sure the text is exactly what the script is looking for. For youb's case I rely on ddcprobe including a "Segmentation fault" line in its output, since the "oem:" line is too vague -- it is a copyright notice and does not specify a particular adapter model; so be sure I got the upper/lower cases right, for an exact match. To verify there is only the one xorgwizard2 in the system, enter "which xorgwizard2", that should show either nothing or "/usr/sbin"; anything else suggests the wrong file is being run.
If you do get it to work you can rename the script (in /usr/sbin) to "xorgwizard" to have it run automatically at bootup.
I need to verify it works so I can hand it off to dougal for integration into his version and a puppy release. Thanks for sticking with me on this.

I will sit this one out for a bit as I dont have a flash drive.My option is to replace the original xorgwizard with your modified one and burn it as a remastered live or installable cd.This modified xorgwizard does not work when used in this way. Regards Dennis

Added pfix=ram,nox to loadlin's options
Boot linux, at prompt :
mkdir /mnt/hda3
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 -t vfat (my C: win drive, where I put the downloaded file)
cp /mnt/hda3/xo/xorgwizard2 /usr/sbin
umount /mnt/hda3
xorgwizard2 -- same problem again.
I checked my ddcprobe output and "Segmentation fault" is written ok.
Isn't it normal since I am using the same xorgwizard2 as yesterday ?
Thanks, Mat

Post subject: I need your assistance; I do not have your laptops to test.
Dennis, please don't sit this out. I cannot resolve the dilemma without you. Your remaster technique should now work with the fix, since the file in /etc/X11 is no longer involved. (Go ahead and rename the script to xorgwizard for your remaster, so it will be invoked automatically.)
I want the fix to be as generally applicable as we can make it, which means getting it to detect your all of particular video adapters by matching something in the ddcprobe output.
Just one thing to make clear, I have built the fix on the Puppy 3.01 version of the wizard; so be sure you are all testing with 3.01.
If testing with 3.01 doesn't work, I will have to add debug code to the fix to try to find where the problem is.
My only other suspicion is that maybe the forum is squeezing some space-characters out of the oem: and segment-fault lines in your posts. So if you notice beginning- or trailing spaces or multiple adjacent spaces in the text we are trying to match, please tell me. (And, Dennis, does your ddcprobe "oem:" line have a space after the colon?)
One more time ... Thanks.

I'm using 3.01, and the "Segmentation fault" is the same in the output and the xorgwizard2 file (I will double check). No problem for further testing... Thanks, Mat
EDIT: I've been browsing through the forum... and I read a post about the minimum amount of RAM needed to run Puppy... I have 64mb, could it be the cause of my problem ? (I use loadlin, therefore if I'm not mistaken it loads everything in RAM and I don't use any swap.)

Post subject: Debug version now in the download file.
Mat, thanks for your response. I ran out of explanations; but I think you have found it! 64MB is a bit tight. (If you make the laptop work satisfactorily for you, you might consider adding RAM to speed it up.)
Assuming the laptop has a hard drive, you could boot from the CD and I think that situation creates a swap file wherever it can find space. But avoid having it go into an NTFS partition, as the performance is reportedly impacted. Or make a small (64M-128M) swap partition or file; there are several ways, but we can work on that if you need help.
My news for everyone else not getting the latest version of the fix to work is that I have replaced the download file with one that contains both the latest version and one containing debug messages. They will verify that the fix is actually running and show whether it finds a match or what it is trying to match. (The oem: line may be surrounded by periods (.), to reveal any extra spaces.)
The debug version, xorgwizard2d, will show other lines along with the pink "probing" lines. They will remain on the screen for 15 seconds, so press ctrl-c to keep them longer. If it still hangs, please tell me what messages are displayed. The last should be an oem: line of some sort. If you just wait, the long video-mode list should appear.

Richard . I am using 3.0.1 and I have renamed the file xorgwizard and the xorgwizard box comes up but when I click on xorg then the hang happens as in the original. ddcprobe is
oem: Trident CYBER 8820
I notice on the xorgwizard2 file it is shown as Trident Cyber 8820 I dont know if this is significant. We soldier on Regards Dennis
EDIT I wrote this before your latest post Richard so let me know if the CYBER is significant.I can fix it on the last xorgwizard2 file and try it if you wish..Dennis

Richard Its not what you write,its the way that you write it. I changed the oem line in the original xorgwizard2 to oem: Trident CYBER 8820 and remastered it on the original Puppy Unleashed bootable CD 3.0.1 and the burnt disk worked perfectly on my Toshiba TE 2000. On one oem line there was no gap from the colon plus the CYBER was Cyber and on the next line the gap was there but CYBER was again Cyber. Anyway it is now working flawlessly. It has been a pleasure to do business with you.
The only thing left is to get the Toshiba Modem to work on Puppy?????

Post subject: All resolved! Ready to be integrated.
Thanks, Dennis, for your clarification. Assuming Mat's problem is with low RAM, with enough he can probably run without the fix.
I have uploaded a cleaned-up version of both scripts, ready for more people to try with other laptops.
Dougal, I think this added logic is ready for your consideration to integrate with your development version of xorgwizard.
Thank you to all who have helped me get to this point with the fix.

Sally Smith: Welcome to an MUSC Health Podcast. Welcome to Age to Age. I'm Sally Smith. Let's talk. Today, we're fortunate to have Dr. Layton McCurdy, Dean Emeritus of MUSC, with us, one of my favorite people to talk to about ideas and thinking through problems. He has been kind enough to join us when we want to look at the problems and issues of aging and caregiving in this crisis that we're in now, that only seems to be mushrooming. We've talked a little bit about what the situation is. Now we want to look at the problems that are going to have to be solved. What do you see as some of these problems that we're going to have to solve to get through this crisis and come up with better solutions?
Dr. Layton McCurdy: Well, for one thing, I'm very happy about the magnitude of research that's underway now to identify causes and treatments for, certainly, Alzheimer’s, and perhaps some of the other forms of dementia that come along with age. My goal and my hope is that there will be some treatments, some specific treatments. We have treatments now that have some evidence that they work, that they slow down the process of Alzheimer's. There's very little scientific knowledge that we can slow down the sort of so-called normal aging, dementia, forgetfulness, and so forth. I think the research is going to be incredibly important, that certainly is one thing. The other thing is, in this country, to figure out ways to manage better. I don't know if you have a long-term care insurance policy, but I do. And sometimes I wonder, is it worth it? But, I still have it, both my wife and I.
And I think that's an important thing. What if we couldn't afford it, where would we be? And we have a care system that's pretty good for acute care, regardless of your status in life. But, for the management of chronic illness, or chronic conditions, which I think dementia is, we don't have a good system. You may have noticed recently in our newspapers, in Charleston, and in other parts of South Carolina, there are full-page ads. There was one yesterday about the management of chronic illness. And there's an organization that's pushing the presidential candidates to take a position. It's a national organization but they're focusing on South Carolina and New Hampshire, for obvious reasons. And so far, we haven't lured any of the presidential candidates into taking a stance on the care of chronic illness. The argument is that chronic illness uses eighty-five percent of the healthcare dollar. I can't verify that number, but it's a lot, I do know that.
Sally Smith: I know that there are two issues pending, pending laws, one for increased research into all sorts under the umbrella of dementia, which would, of course, include Alzheimer's and many other forms of dementia. Another one is tax breaks for caregivers. I think the unseen issue here is so often the caregiver. We were talking earlier about the baby boomers and the see-saw effect. They just got finished taking care of the children, and now here they are taking care of the grandparents. One question I have, because I've met with all sorts of emotions from people in that situation, and sometimes they're quite angry, they love their parents.
Mr. Layton McCurdy: Anger's a perfectly natural response to adversity, I think. You know, it's a healthy response. And sometimes not being angry is probably less healthy than being angry. Obviously you have to manage it. Caregivers, there are many places and programs. I do know that there are opportunities for respite for people who give care, to take a day or two off and have someone step into the home. It helps a lot, you know. I think it gives people something to look forward to. But, for the caregiver, the person who's seriously committed, it's a demanding, constant, twenty-four-a-day job, very constant job.
Sally Smith: The one thing that was interesting, too, is the article I read, when it talked about the man hours lost through caregiving, where people leave a job, have to hurry to a neighboring city to take care of someone. There are all sorts of ways, obviously, that this could play out. But, a lot of people finally just give up their job. They can’t juggle it all. They can’t do it all. And that’s man power that, then, is lost. In small thing, that’s not so important, but in a big thing, when you look at the huge numbers of people that are caregiving, and yet we’re tied to it through our traditions.
One question I have: how tough is the psychological hit of being brought up to do what you can, not growing up on the old farm home place like we all traditionally did hundreds of years ago, moving way off, siblings spread all across the world, the United States, whatever, and then somebody’s got to step up to the plate and take care of Mother or Daddy back home, how taxing is this for family dynamics?
Dr. Layton McCurdy: Well, I think it’s very taxing, because if you’ve talked to siblings in a family about this, nobody’s doing their fair share in the minds of each sibling. It has only been a generation, I saw it in my own mother’s family, and I’ve known that in other families that, in a large family, with five of six children, one of them gets tagged as the caregiver. And, usually, it’s a woman. They often don’t married because it’s expected that they’re going to be the caregiver for Mother when the time comes. I don’t see that much anymore. I don’t think people gear their lives in that direction anymore. We’re much more prone to independence and pursuing our own destiny. But, I think it creates family dynamics a lot. I hadn’t thought about it just in those terms, but you do see that, you know, who’s doing their share of the job.
Sally Smith: One thing I’ve noticed with families, sometimes it’s an expectation financially. They say, look, I’m taking care of everybody, you know, you all ought to realize I get a little bigger piece of the pie when we divide it up. And there are just so many issues like that where people see things differently, and it can cause upset.
Dr. Layton McCurdy: That’s fascinating. I hadn’t thought about it just in that way, but it’s a very good point.
Sally Smith: Well, one thing that I was so amazed at was the illnesses, the amount of illness in the caregiver group, where you think, here’s the ill person, or the old, frail person, and he’s the one we’re all worried about, when so many times the anxiety and the angst, and the frustration, as you say, of taking care of someone that is not thinking straight is an incredibly grueling 24-hour-a-day job. A lot of times they fall ill. One of the key solutions that’s important to remember is other people stepping in, maybe that sibling that lives far away, and giving them the respite you mentioned. I think Hospice will do that as well.
Dr. Layton McCurdy: Yeah.
Sally Smith: Because it is so pivotal not to lose the caregiver. It’s the caregiver that keeps you from having the really huge costs of assisted living nursing.
Dr. Layton McCurdy: There are very pricey and costly care systems and, hopefully, more and more people will plan for that in their lives, with insurance or with other means. I have an anecdote, a story, actually. One of my colleagues, from many, many years, marvelous man, at about age 70, had an accident. This man was actually a marathon runner and wrote two or three text books on the brain; he was brilliant. He had an accident and had cardiac arrest for a short time, and wound up very demented.
His wife was determined to keep him at home. It was such a blow, and such a sudden blow. And, within the first six months or so, they would, you know, go to the grocery store. He sort of wandered away from her one day in a grocery store and got hit by a car, and had a terrible accident, broke a bunch of bones and things. And so, there are all kinds of unanticipated side things that can happen with a person that requires constant observation.
Sally Smith: Wow. Let’s move on. Let’s close this session out, because we’re going to talk about our dream scenario of how all these problems are going to magically go away and we’re going to come up with the utopian society for the elderly. Thank you, so much, Layton McCurdy, for talking with us today, and thanks to all of our listeners for joining us. We welcome your suggestions and always invite your comments on our website. This is Sally Smith, Age to Age, saying good-bye and wishing homepage. All profits support research at the Center on Aging. Thanks.

This.
The guys at JPC Racing bolted the heads back on with a few extra parts and pieces needed for the installation. Cometic provided its MLS (multi-layer steel) head gaskets, and a set of replacement intake and exhaust gaskets. The heads were secured to the Boss 302 block with ARP 1/2-inch studs, which we procured from Summit Racing. Comp Cams came through with a set of its 1.6 roller rocker arms and new pushrods.
The swap was straightforward, and before we knew it, the car was back on the dyno. The new heads helped the engine breath easier, and Burcham dialed in the tune using a DiabloSport chip in the stock A9L computer. The result was a better 508 rwhp at 6,400 rpm and torque of 425 lb-ft. The better flowing heads helped feed the hungry 331ci, and also showed that better flowing heads also make a difference in a supercharged application. | http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/mmfp_1103_brodix_lh_17_degree_cylinder_heads/viewall.html | 2013-05-18T10:12:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Ivan Vasiliyevich Kliun
Born in Bolshiye Gorki hamlet, Vladimir province in 1873. Died in Moscow in 1943. Kliun was born to a peasant family. He served as a bookkeeper, and at the same time studied drawing. During 1902–1907, he attended classes at F.I. Rerberg’s studio in Moscow where he met I.I. Mashkov and K.S. Malevich. This encounter became a major factor in the creative biography of Ivan Kliun. Malevich had a great influence on the further development of the artist, brought him into the circle of the founders of the Russian avant-garde, set him on the path of Cubo-Futurism, and later Suprematism. At the “0.10” exhibition in Petrograd in 1915, Kliun displayed his cubist and abstract sculpture for the first time, and in 1916 began to create Suprematist compositions. Kliun was a member of the “Supremus” Society in 1916–1917. After the Suprematist period, he experienced an enthusiasm for French Purism. The artist then turned to Realism, which was not only a concession to the times, but also his inner need. He found himself in complete isolation at the end of his life.

The Oteiza Museum research centre is implementing a programme to collect data and documents from those people who had dealings with the sculptor, and who can provide verbal or documentary testimony about him. This programme has been called the Oteiza Memory project. The programme consists of three parts: firstly, a recorded interview in which the participant’s testimony about the sculptor from Orio is collected. This oral document is added to the Documentation Centre collection. The pieces by Jorge Oteiza that the participant may possess are then photographed, measured and described and the details of these are noted down Finally, the documentation that the participant has about the sculptor is collected; this documentation is digitised and catalogued in the Documentation Centre and returned to its owner in the best possible condition, with the corresponding digital copy.

The New Pornographers – Ballad Of A Comeback Kid Lyrics
High five, look up, look alive, as the scions of history guess another mystery wrong
Recite your lines, and I,ll quote scriptures
Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town wanted to be around you, this went on for awhile until they finally found you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else,s shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did, in the ballad of a comeback kid
Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero,s welcome, what,s more you just had to win
[ Ballad Of A Comeback Kid lyrics from ]
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense
Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else,s shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did
But you won,t, Kelly says she could have
Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you | http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/n/new-pornographers/ballad-of-comeback-kid/ | 2013-05-18T10:53:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

You have undoubtedly seen this Mustang before. The Discovery Channel's American Hot Rod series built this screaming yellow car last year as a centerpiece for one episode. Respected hot-rod builder Boyd Coddington conceived the name Crazy Horse for this hot-rod Mustang effort. Crazy Horse was known as an intuitive, fierce warrior who was determined to defend the Lakota people long ago on the Western prairie. The Crazy Horse '65 Mustang fastback is a noble warrior, hellbent to both survive and defend the legend of hot Ford performance.
During his travels, Scotty Gray, an automobile auctioneer in Texas, unearthed this six-cylinder fastback as a '60s-retro birthday gift for his wife, Nancy. Because Scotty is passionate about hot rods and has quite an extensive collection of his own, it was only natural for him to hook up with Boyd to work on this dusty, rusty, old fastback. Boyd's Hot Rods in Southern California knocked it completely down on television.
Scotty's love for Nancy provided the emotional and spiritual energy to build one hell of a high-performance Mustang classic. He chose a Mustang because Nancy's passion for it caught fire more than 40 years ago when it was introduced in 1964, and it's never wavered. Nancy loved Ford's sporty Mustang as well as the lifestyle centered around owning one. It was a way of life she longed for, and Scotty made her dreams come true. He knew there was plenty of spiritual energy in this old Mustang fastback. It was a survivor.
Boyd and his team started with renderings of what the car should look like. When building an unusual Mustang hot rod, everyone involved in the project needs to know the expectations. Renderings help everyone stay in the same groove, keeping the project on course, but keeping this project on course wasn't easy. On the surface, the car looked like an easy trip. Beneath the surface, there was a lot of rust and body damage Boyd and his team would have to work through-all of it time consuming. The entire front-end assembly from the firewall forward had to be replaced with a junkyard clip. The floor pan needed a lot of custom fabrication.
When all of the sheetmetal work was completed, Boyd's team went to work on making the car fun and safer to drive. Classic Mustangs were never great handlers to begin with, and the four-wheel drum brakes were decidedly unsafe under normal driving conditions. Boyd's people fabricated a front-suspension package that would make this car all but unbeatable in the twisties. They also installed a Boyd's four-link rear suspension. Carolina Racing & Performance provided the technology to do all of this, including rack-and-pinion steering for pinpoint accuracy. QA1 coilover shocks in all four corners made an incredible difference in handling performance. Now it drives like it's mounted on rails.
Instead of the time consuming task of building an engine, Boyd's opted for a 347ci crate small-block V-8 from Ford Racing Performance Parts. Right out of the box, the 347 yields about 400 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. Boyd's topped the short-block with Ford's GT-40 aluminum heads and an Edelbrock Victor Jr. single-plane manifold with Barry Grant carburetion, and that's a Walter Prosper air cleaner, available from Boyd Coddington. Keep in mind, this is not a high-dollar V-8 engine. It's an affordable package consisting of a nodular-iron crank, hypereutectic 10.0:1 pistons, and super-tough forged I-beam rods. Nancy can spin this puppy to approximately 6,000 rpm and not need a catcher's mitt to collect parts that involuntarily fly off. The 347 is a solid performer that yields both torque and fierce reliability. When you mix the 347 with a 2,800-pound ride, the Crazy Horse Mustang becomes a formidable performance foe.
Managing a 400hp small-block coupled with good old-fashioned efficiency takes a Dr. Evil AOD transmission and a Currie 3.90-geared 9-inch axle. The AOD delivers the power in gears One through Three. And when it's time to cruise, Overdrive works exceedingly well with those 3.90:1 cogs. A 2,500-stall torque converter enables Nancy to get the 347 into the torque curve before it hooks up to the 9-inch.
If you like these wheels-and we do-you'll have to stand in line for a set because these guys are one-offs from Boyd: 17- and 18-inch five-spoke specials manufactured exclusively for this car project. In front are 17x8s wrapped in P225/45ZR17 Goodyears. In back are 18x9s with P235/55ZR18 Goodyears. This is a lot of meat to stuff inside Mustang wheelwells, but it keeps a classic Mustang glued to the pavement under the most demanding conditions.
Inside, there are a lot of nice appointments that make Crazy Horse unique. This slick brushed-aluminum instrument panel and glovebox door are available from JME Enterprises. Lokar provided some cool, shiny bits, including the parking brake, pedals, and automatic shifter. California Mustang provided the rest of the interior. The steering wheel, which matches the wheels, is a Boyd original. A Hot Rod Air climate-control system is subtle, yet functional for hot Texas summers.
Outside, the slippery fastback is dipped in Boyd's Yellow with pewter Le Mans stripes running the length of the ship. This color combination gives the Grays a platinum demeanor wherever they take this one-of-a-kind Mustang.
There are a lot of terrific Mustang restomods out there. However, rare efforts such as this one stand out in the restomod history books. In addition to Hot Rods by Boyd, the love Scotty has for Nancy built this car. And it's that love that keeps this yellow Boyd going strong. | http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/1964_1973_mustang/mufp_0602_1965_ford_mustang_fastback/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Think locally, vote nationally
The upcoming presidential election is one of the most contentious in modern history, in part because so much is at stake. The country is spending billions of dollars per week in Iraq, the economy is in trouble and health care costs are skyrocketing, to name only a few concerns.
Less obvious are the ways in which the new occupant of the White House directly affects the city and people of Mountain View. But make no mistake: Whether the new president is Barack Obama or John McCain could substantially influence Mountain View's economy, environment and schools. Here are some examples of how:
• The next president likely will appoint a new head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which decides how aggressively cleanup occurs at sites such as the toxic TCE plume at Moffett Field.
"It's very likely that Obama's EPA would be much more protective for things like TCE cleanup," said Lenny Siegel of the Center for Public Environmental Oversight. "EPA staff have been told they can't do what they want for political reasons. As for McCain, what I hear from people in Arizona is that he hasn't paid much attention to these issues."
Siegel also said a Democratic president probably would be more accessible to the local congressional representatives trying to save Moffett's Hangar One. However, McCain's history with the Navy may make him partial to restoring the historic structure as well.
• People at City Hall are keeping a close watch on the economy, which has major impacts on city revenue sources.
"Anybody who can improve the national economy is going to be good for Mountain View," said city manager Kevin Duggan.
Duggan said the new president's views on federal housing programs and community development block grants, or CDBGs, also will be important to the city, which channels these funds to numerous programs and services. Typically, a Democrat is more amenable to handing out federal funds for community services.
• Local educators question how productive the federal No Child Left Behind legislation has been, and say the next president has a lot of work to do in fixing the country's educational system.
NCLB was signed into effect in 2001 in the hopes of improving public primary and secondary education by establishing accountability at the local levels through testing and benchmarks. Although it looks good on paper, the legislation sets unreasonable goals in a small timeframe. This can be counterproductive in a city like Mountain View, which has a large percentage of Latino and low-income students.
Educators say they agree with the concept of accountability, but want a system that will work. Although neither candidate addresses NCLB head-on, Obama's education plan calls for a multi-billion-dollar increase — with a focus on "high-needs schools" — while McCain's much flimsier plan calls for little increase in funding. We believe Obama will pay closer attention to this issue, which affects every Mountain View resident.
According to our calendars, this Thursday, Sept. 11, was "Patriot Day." It's a fitting day to consider the direction we're headed, since the attacks of seven years ago have permanently altered the course of our nation. When you go to the polls on Nov. 4, think closely on what you want out of your government. A lot is at stake, even locally.

How much did Obama pay the Voice for this hit piece?

The editorial staff of the Voice is actually allowed to express its opinions in an editorial -- and does so for free.

Fine but this editorial relies far too much on speculation not on cited evidence.

Art and music 'essential' to our humanity
CSMA helps fuels creativity in a tech-minded valley

Gian Francesco Malipiero was born in Venice on 18 March 1882. He studied as a composer, but spent valuable years transcribing early Italian music and wrote books on Antonio Vivaldi and others. He destroyed most of his own music prior to 1914 and was then prolific to his death (1 August 1973; Treviso). | http://www.mvdaily.com/articles/m/g/gian-francesco-malipiero.htm | 2013-05-18T10:53:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
About D2
Background
When Washington Dulles International Airport opened in 1962, it was the first U.S. airport built for commercial jet aircraft. Airline travelers were in a distinct minority, and “those flying machines” at the Airport were seen as an exotic form of transportation to far away places. But increases in passenger jet travel made aviation a prominent fixture of the nation’s economy.
By the late 1980’s, Dulles International began setting the pace for growth in the region. Over the next decade, that growth accelerated. From 1995 to 1998, passengers using the Airport increased by 28 percent--from 12.5 to nearly 16 million. In 1999, Dulles was the fastest growing airport in the country with an annual growth rate of 25.7%, compared to the industry average growth rate of 2.9%. In 2000, the Airport surpassed the 20 million passenger mark. In 2003, even with the reduction in air travel following September 11, 2001, Dulles served 17 million passengers and in 2006, the number topped 23 million. Today Dulles continues to surpass its own records for passenger travel.
The airlines have taken note of the remarkable growth in the Washington region and the resulting increased demand for air service and expanded their presence at Dulles International. Today’s traveler can fly to 44 different foreign destinations and 80 U.S. cities from Dulles. To support this level of service, about 20,000 people are employed at the airport and thousands more have jobs closely associated with airport activities.
Construction History - Late 1980's-1990's
During Dulles Airport’s early years, the facilities met or exceeded demand. Aircraft parked away from the Main Terminal, and flights were met by “Mobile Lounges” which transported passengers above the ground. In the mid-1980’s a temporary Midfield Concourse was built to allow more aircraft to use gates with jet bridges. Mobile Lounge service began operations between the Main Terminal and this new Concourse. As passenger levels grew, so did the investment in airport infrastructure.
From 1987, when the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority was created, through 1999, the Airports Authority invested $1.5 billion in an expansion program which doubled the size of the Main Terminal, added two permanent Midfield Concourses, expanded Customs and Immigration facilities, modernized ticket counter and baggage claim space, improved the roadways, and added cargo facilities.
“D2” Phase of Dulles Construction Begins
Growth projections for both passengers and aircraft operations highlighted the need for even more airport facilities in the future. In 2000, the Airports Authority Board of Directors approved a second phase of capital investment which is called D2, the Dulles Development program.
Completed D2 projects include two new Daily Parking Garages, passenger walkways with moving sidewalks connecting the garages to the Main Terminal and connecting the Main Terminal to Concourse B, reconstruction of Runway 12-30, new permanent Z-gates at the Terminal, an expansion of Concourse B, a fourth runway, the AeroTrain system, multiple roadway improvements, the renovation of the original 1962 Eero Saarinen-designed terminal, including improved ticketing counters and new baggage claim devices and the construction of a new Airport Traffic Control Tower for the Federal Aviation Administration.
“D2” Into the Future
Future D2 projects call for expanding the Z-gates, expanding the International Arrivals Building in the Main Terminal, constructing a fifth runway, and building a new permanent Concourse beyond the present location of Concourse C and D. Dulles is in a constant state of evolution and improvement. The challenge for the Airports Authority is to continue to keep pace with growth in air service and meet the future traveling needs of the Washington region. | http://www.mwaa.com/dulles/751.htm | 2013-05-18T10:31:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Home Network Security
Short Description
Home computers that are connected to the Internet are under attack and need to be secured. That process is relatively well understood, even though we do not have perfect solutions today and probably never will. Meanwhile, however, the home computing environment is evolving into a home network of multiple devices, which will also need to be secured. We have little experience with these new home networks and much research needs to be done in this area. This paper gives a view of the requirements and some of the techniques available for securing home networks.

There are poppies in the back, too ... and Linaria ... and Phlox ...
and Alyssum ... and Violas ...
and Larkspur ... and roses ...
I know I've been rather infrequent in my posts lately ... it's not that the garden isn't full of photo ops or blogworthy happenings ... it's that the Head Gardener and I spend most of our free time out there making it picture perfect (oh, that got a chuckle from the HG) and blogworthy. The weather has been a mixed bag ... too little rain and too many warm and humid days already. Just when I'm ready to give it all up and run away to Hawaii, a day like today comes along: the air is cool and dry, the sun is shining and the garden casts its spell upon me once again.
It's also casting its spell upon visitors and passersby. On Tuesday, the delightful Pat Leuchtmann of Commonweeder and her equally congenial husband Henry visited Wit's End. We strolled the gardens and talked plants, birds, chickens, seeds, roses and Seattle Fling. Pat's account of their visit can be found on her contribution to Three for Thursday. I'm so glad they made the trek out here and I'm already looking forward to seeing Pat again in Seattle in July. On Wednesday, I hosted the March meeting of my WOW pals. The Women of W(h)ine [the Head Gardener came up with the name] sipped wine and strolled through the gardens, chattering and exclaiming. None of them are gardeners but the WOW were nonetheless wowed! As for passersby, although I receive comments of approbation and appreciation from different folks, one in particular stands out for me and I wanted to share it with y'all. What we gardeners do makes a difference in more lives than we know.

Love, love the note. How nice of her to take the time to write it. No doubt, there are many, many other who are thinking about writing one someday and I hope I'm one of them.
Everything is picture perfect!

Cindy, What a wonderful compliment and tribute to your beautiful garden and the hard work you've put into it! gail
How wonderful to get that affirmation. I'm so happy for you!
A long time ago, we put out hand-painted Sesame Street cutouts for holiday decorations and someone left a note in our mailbox how much they liked them. I know exactly how you feel!!
Love the note! I know just how she felt, having experienced the delight of that garden at first hand. Here at the End of the Road we have very few passersby!
Your garden looks a vision of loveliness with all of those pink poppies. How nice that someone took the time to leave her thoughts in writing for you, in appreciation of your garden's beauty.
Your yard is breathtaking! I would love to just sit a spell with coffee or maybe wine in the evening. BTW--my pink poppies (from your seeds) are starting to bloom. Thanks so much!!
a friend of mine says when you find worms in the compost you can stop reading the book (on how to compost, or otherwise garden). i'd say the same thing goes when you get a hand-written note from a passerby, like the one you shared with us. well done cindy!

Kick Your Sugar Habit
berries chocolate diet dietfriendly foods exercise fruit habit massage sugar
SPONSORED:
You are about to walk out of the supermarket and there it is, that sweet jelly donut you've been craving all day. You know you shouldn't have it. What do you do?
Well, you have two options. You could accede to your desires and buy that donut and feel guilty later, or choose a healthier alternative. It is hard to believe there are healthy foods out there that are tasty as well. But there are plenty of ways to come off the sweet train without depriving yourself. In other words, it's possible to satisfy that sweet tooth without sabotaging your diet.
EAT LESS
Take smaller portions of those sweet foods. For example, instead of eating three chocolate chip cookies a day, eat two with a piece of banana. Instead of eating two slices of chocolate cake eat, settle for one. Accompany the chocolate cake with some fruit salad. Do this for the first week. This will train the body to eat less unhealthy sugar and more natural sugar. One day of the week, go all out and feast on all of the fruit you want when you feel the urge to snack on Milanos.
DRINK WATER
Water will reduce your appetite altogether. You will not have as many cravings and you will lose weight in the process. Water cleans out your body. Every time you eat something sweet, have a glass of water.
MIX IT UP
Now that you have gone a week without eating all of the cupcakes, it is time to mix it up. Have a piece of cake once a week. Look at it as a reward for eating less during the week. Continue to add fruit with it. Berries are good. Why don't you add some strawberries on top of that chocolate cake? Mix some fruit in with your pancake batter. Add some cherries in with your oatmeal. Have some grapes and cherries with the sweet snack of your choice. The name of the game is to add healthy fruits with those sinful snacks. | http://www.mydailymoment.com/diet_and_fitness/healthy_eating/kick_your_sugar_habit.php?page=1 | 2013-05-18T11:02:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Hey big spenders! Local businesses get a fair dinkum boost
LOCAL businesses received a boost of at least $16,500 thanks to the Grafton Fair Dinkum Country Music Festival which was held from last Tuesday to Sunday.
Event organiser Bob Vickers asked Roundup participants to provide copies of dockets from any local purchases during their stay.
About 60 caravan and motorhomes were parked at the Grafton Showground for most of the week and, Mr Vickers said, many took the opportunity to fix or upgrade their vans with large purchases including fridges, barbecues, servicing and batteries.
"It's good news for the town," said Mr Vickers, who was on the road yesterday to the next event on the traditional country calendar in Pittsworth, Queensland.
As for the festival itself, fans of traditional country music certainly couldn't complain, Mr Vickers said.
"Just about every one of them that said goodbye said it was fantastic and they'd be back next year and bring their friends with them."
Mr Vickers said the festival had grown from about 30 vans and 100 patrons last year to double on both counts this year. He said there were plenty more reminders about handing over shopper dockets this year than last year - which recorded only $1600 in dockets.
The festival was assisted this year with $2000 from Clarence Valley Council, a free PA system from Buckley's Music and other corporate sponsorship.
Fair Dinkum economics:
- Money spent (official) - $16,500
- Estimated additional spending - $2000
- Crowd - maximum 200 | http://www.mydailynews.com.au/news/hey-big-spenders/1620957/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Two separate disputes have people across Fulton County wondering who would be in charge of picking up stray animals or investigating dog attacks beginning January 1.As Fox5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis reports, commissioners have agreed to temporarily keep a troubled vendor and continue providing animal services for all 14 cities in the county.
It's hard to imagine Fulton County would let stray animals run wild on the streets of Atlanta come January 1 even if the city didn't specifically ban bullhooks for elephants at traveling circuses.Commissioners still condemn the use of bullhooks by circuses like Ringling Brothers, but they realized if they kicked the city out of the shared animal services contract, the remaining cities and Fulton County would have to chip in more money. Instead, the city has agreed to let animal control officers monitor circus elephants around the clock when they come to town and issue $500 tickets if the controversial bullhooks are used.But the larger issue deals not with elephants, but dogs and cats, and whether a vendor the FOX 5 I-Team has investigated in the past should still be in charge."The issue with Barking Hound Village is not one of the delivery of services necessarily. The issue and the problem came about as a result of a TV investigation that found that there was a problem with an audit where money was raised that should not have been co-mingled but was in fact co-mingled," said Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts.Not just co-mingled, but the I-Team investigation and a county audit found tax money misspent by Barking Hound Village Foundation for things like expensive restaurants and trips to New York.Auditors identified more than $45,000, but when they tried to examine the complete books, Barking Hound refused to turn over the requested records.Former volunteers allege to county officials that some valuable dogs are sold out the back door, or given to friends while others improperly get free but expensive vet care.The county is investigating."I will say that based on what I've seen first-hand, there are some outstanding issues. There's some capital needs. There's some cleanliness needs, as well as some just management needs," said Commissioner Chairman John Eaves."If a fraction of what was alleged is accurate, we have a serious problem. So it's time to change vendors," said Commissioner Liz Hausmann.Two non-profits have stepped forward to bid on the contract, but too late to be considered for Wednesday's meeting, so commissioners agreed to extend the contract for Barking Hound Village Foundation on a month-to-month basis, giving staff time to recommend who should be the new boss."What I'm fearful of possibility that the county might take this over which is problematic when we have a wonderful, qualified vendor," said animal advocate Alison Hector.And a lot of people paying attention to dogs and cats in Fulton County once again.In a statement to the I-Team, Barking Hound president David York denied all the allegations of mismanagement. He says he's actually been spending thousands of dollars of his own money to keep the shelter running each month.Even though York says he's ready to end the contract, he has agreed to stay until as late as next summer.CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE TO WATCH THE STORY!

A New Jersey girl undergoing chemotherapy treatments has found a way to help the homeless while also taking her mind off of her own challenges.
Ella Wilson and her mom, Terri, drive into Philadelphia every Thursday for treatment for neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on the nerves.
One day, the first grader noticed a homeless woman holding a sign.
After asking her mom what the woman wanted, the two decided they'd bring food with them on their next stop into Philly.
Ella and her mom returned to the same intersection where they saw the woman, Morgan, and brought her food.
Now, every Thursday the two bring food and blankets with them on their way to Ella's treatments.
You can help Ella raise money for neurofibromatosis research on her Facebook page "Hope for Ella."

After more than a week of searching, police have finally located what is believed to be the body of Patrick Mikes, Senior, a missing father from Troy. It was found Friday along with a bicycle.The investigation has led police from a Troy home to a cornfield in Montrose Township off Morris Road in Genesee County. They think the body was there since July 28. What is believed to be Mikes' bike was also discovered in the field just 15 feet away from where the body was found. Troy police are waiting on confirmation that it is indeed Patrick Mikes.Police were very close to the body Thursday night when they decided to wrap up for the evening."The search team that night was within about 30 feet of the body when we called for the termination of that search," said Captain Robert Redmond.Son Patrick Mikes, Junior is in jail. He has hired an attorney and is charged with murder.A car was noticed in Montrose Township on Saturday, July 28 in an area that we're told is traveled lightly. The body was found near where that vehicle was driving."I would say that it was within about two miles of where we had two people identify the car that matched the description of Patrick Mikes, Junior's car as being cruising up and down their street very slowly," Redmond said.17 police agencies searched 25 square miles. The field where the body was found is full of corn stalks almost five feet high.

. Most of Romney's income is from investments held in a blind trust, and campaign aides have stressed that he makes no decisions on how his money is invested. During the 20-year period, the Romneys paid an effective federal income tax rate of between 13.45 percent and 13.66 percent (n August, based on the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13 percent in income taxes in each of the last 10 years." Romney told reporters in August that he's never paid less than 13 percent is below that of many Americans because most of it flows from capital gains, which are taxed at 15 percent whereas the top marginal income tax rate now is 35 percent. On average, middle-income families, those making from $50,000 to $75,000 a year, pay 12.8 percent." | http://www.myfoxny.com/story/19607825/mitt-romney-releases-2011 | 2013-05-18T10:31:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
One person is dead and several others were injured after someone threw a molotov cocktail at a home on Detroit's east side Sunday morning.
"I was asleep. I heard banging at the door - it was my neighbor," said Marco Johnson, 30, who lives in the home. "She was saying 'Fire, Fire!'"
"Chaos, total chaos," said Detroit Police Commander Steve Dolunt. "It was my understand that when we got here it was total chaos."
Eight other people were in the home on Kenmoor around 6 a.m., when police say 2 men driving a dark-colored Chevy Malibu drove up and threw the firebomb threw the front window.
"I tried going out through the doorway, but there was too much smoke," Johnson said. "My family was in there... I had to go out through the back."
Johnson made it out through the back porch. Other family members also struggled to find a safe exit.
A family member says Robert Inman, 51, was killed in the firebombing. Three others were in critical condition.
Johnson says he has no idea why someone would target the family.
"I don't know what's wrong with people," Dolunt said. "The homeowner is in the hospital, as well. Fire arson and Homicide are going to look at it and try to figure out this mess."
Police and arson crews are investigating.
