More Thoughts on The Sense of an Ending
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes received the Man Booker Prize yesterday. I think the award is deserved. I reviewed the book back in August and since then my post has received about 1,000 hits. Surprising I know. I think it's because this is a book that begs to be discussed and analyzed. Here's the link to my review. If you've read the book then do read the comments section because it's interesting to see how readers had different interpretations. Reading my review, I see that I had several questions at the time that were nagging at me - Why did Veronica's mother leave the bequest to Tony? What did Veronica mean by 'blood money?' What did the carer mean by 'especially now?' Why did Barnes leave so many questions unanswered?
I still don't have the answers to these questions but since reading the book I saw for the second time the brilliant movie Caché (Hidden). It's a French-Austrian film written and directed by Michael Haneke. It has nothing whatsoever in common with The Sense of an Ending except for having unanswered questions in the end. After seeing the movie, I read an interview with Michael Haneke who said that if you 'come out wanting to know who (the culprit is), you didn't understand the film. To ask this question is to avoid asking the real question the film raises. Films that are entertainment give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.'
After seeing that movie, I thought again of The Sense of an Ending and realized that Haneke's words could be applied to Barnes' book. It was Barnes intention not to give all the answers but to actually leave more questions. However, I was asking all the wrong questions. Maybe the right ones are - What is memory? Do we accurately remember events in our past? Could we unintentionally have blocked out some memories?

I haven't read this book, although it's been on my own 'longlist' since hearing a raving review on CBC a few months back. You know the story, so many book, so little time...ReplyDelete
I'm fascinated by the evolution of your thinking about this story. I read your initial review. Obviously, receiving 800 hits on your blog says a great deal about the interest, curiosity and questions the story created in you and your readers. Isn't that amazing!
And months later, you continued to ponder the story. That, for me, is a testament to the book's quality.
Great post! Thanks.
@Deborah Serravalle - Thank you for commenting. Yes, it's amazing how much this book has evolved in my thoughts. It has certainly helped that I was able to discuss it with other readers. You must read this book. It's only about 150 pages and beautifully written.ReplyDelete
I rarely read the Booker winners or short-lists but I'm interested in this book. Your reviews have intrigued me.ReplyDelete
Hi Mrs. B,ReplyDelete
Very nice post! This books does seem to be about the questions it raises, and also about Barnes' beautiful writing if I may add.

Hi Mrs B,ReplyDelete
Your initial questions were not irrelevant as i see it. Can we find out smthing in adrian's diary page and tony's realization of that. again why adrian mentions tony in that mathematical eqation has left me confused. as tony understands that the child is adrian and veronica's mother. is that why adrian kills himself?

I posted this somewhere else but my answers are: I believe that if tony hadn't written the letter telling adrian to talk to the mother adrian wouldn't have known about the damaged brother and if veronica was already pregnant by adrian the mother would have urged an abortion and adrian would have killed himself in despair and the blood money was because the mother would have wanted the abortion and would be thanking tony for telling adrian to talk to the mother and the carer said "especially right now" because the boy's real mother (veronica's mother) had just died and he was especially upset by the loss of his mother. That's what I think.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 27, 2011 at 7:26 AM
tony is mentioned in the mathematical equation because him telling them in the letter to ask the mother and learning about the brother is a major factor in the decision about whether or not veronica should have the baby. Also tony laid kind of a curse on the baby in the letter saying it would be damaged. because of the brother they might have factored in the curse. it would have spooked them at least. I believe.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 27, 2011 at 7:35 AM
And the comment if tony knew referred to if tony knew about the brother is that why he dumped veronica because veronica seems to feel as if she was dumped. so tony wouldn't want her because he would be worried that any child of theirs would be damaged.ReplyDelete

If Tony had not sent a letter suggesting that Adrian speak to Veronica's mother then maybe Adrian would not have gone on to have a sexual relationship with Veronica's mother. The consequences of this affair were devastating to everyone involved. The child which came from this relationship was handicapped, Veronica's father began to drink more heavily leading to his death from oesophageal cancer, and Adrian himself could not cope with the results of his action and commits suicide. Veronica remained single, devastated by the fact that Adrian was happy in the months of his affair with her mother and not with her.None of this would have happened if Tony had not sent the letter. Adrian analyses how the situation came about and how Tony's contribution was the catalyst to disaster. he puts it into a mathematical equation to try and make sense of it all. The idea of everyone having a responsibility for each other's happiness and self worth reminds me a little of 'An Inspector Calls '! The reader is asked to review his own life and contemplate on his contribution to others' lives and in particular those memories of actions carried out in angry haste.ReplyDelete

Barnes' novel seems to have studied the plot of that film "Damage" which was in turn based on a novel by Josephine Hart (?name)and adapted it to the opposite gender/sex. Barnes' work is atmospheric,broody and perceptive, but ultimately forgettable .. he is trying to do something with the intrigue of sex, the occult and psychology which doesn't come off... Still, it's readableReplyDelete

what's bothering me is the 'secret horizontal gesture beneath a sunlit wisteria' ... when at the original farewell (when Tony left after the weekend) he noted that the mother didn't wave the way other people do ...ReplyDelete
was she trying to tell him something? what was 'secret' about the gesture? was Veronica trying to set her mum up to begin with - as in 'he'll do' (what she said to her brother)?
I loved how we the reader had to flip back in pages to reform our own ideas like Tony did - clever novel but the secret gesture is really bugging me! ... can anyone shed light??!

I don't know why mrs ford made the gesture, but it was a gesture of getting rid, of a permanent wiping out. I think.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2012 at 7:21 AM
Mrs Ford made this gesture, because she observed Tony jerking into the sink before he went to bed. So she knew that he would not be a sex-partner for her this night. Although she would have liked him. She speaks bad about her own daughter because she wanted to have him. In the morning, when she cooks the eggs, one of them was destroyed and she laughs. This is may be a symbol for the lost (destroyed) sperm of Tony.ReplyDelete
Tony believes that Mrs. Ford is the only "normal" person in this family. In fact this is the only crazy one and Tony is responsible to have made Adrian trust in Mrs. Ford...
this is just my humble opinion...
(I read it in German. There is many discussion in german boards, but no one has a really convincing solution)Replies

I like this solution to be honest. Just trying to remember if the gesture was in this order to his masturbation and the eggs. if it is, i like this argument alot.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2012 at 8:19 AM
I feel that this book is more about our false perceptions of people and situations. Tony felt that Adrian had it all together, which proved to be the opposite. He felt Mrs. Ford was the "normal" person in the family, obviously not. He had many beliefs about how things where. False perceptions...the conundrum of the ego and not being able to see beyond your own noses. Anyway...just my opinion/perception ;)ReplyDelete

How do I feel after reading this book: There is unrest. There is great unrest.ReplyDelete
I just read for book club and our meeting isn't until the end of Feb. can't wait that long to discuss and ran across this blog. I think the point of the book is NOT to try and figure it out BUT I can't help it. Here are my thoughts(which probably won't hold up to scrutiny or time line logistics of the book)
- I think that Adrian Jr was, in fact, Veronica's child by Tony and that is why she was SO VERY angry with him.
- After tony and veronica broke up they had sex - so it is conceivalble that the baby is Tony's.
- Veronica and Adrian fall in love. Perhaps they romanticize that they can raise the baby together. the baby is born with disabilities and Adrian can't handle it - he's an intellectual and raising a baby is way to "real" for him. He rationalizes his way to suicide. Veronica, distraught and unable to accept responsibility basically abandons the baby to her mother, Sarah. Sarah raises the baby as her own. Veronica is presented as his sister. Veronica is a bitter and mean bitch because she feels guilty for not being able to rise to the occasion and raise the baby. She blames Tony for everything - getting her pregnant and ultimately for Adrian's suicide.
- Veronica tells Tony over and over again that he "doesn't get it". So, I think he still doesn't get it in the end. He assumes the baby is Adrian and Sarah's but once again, in the words of veronica. "you don't get it. you never have you never will".
- Tony is a coward and lacks the ability to really look at himself and see the truth. I think the hateful letter that we saw was probably the real Tony. He is ashamed of his behaviour, he may even suspect that Adrian is his but won't admit it.Replies
This is the only explanation for me that rings true regarding Veronica's behaviour and her words to Tony. What else could explain those very words? And in a novella like this, there are so few words that we know each one is packed with significance.Delete
However, I do think the bigger picture, like others have said, is a flawed memory of a life and the musings about time.

I loved this book...especially the discussion of "What is History?"ReplyDelete
a)The lies of the victors (Tony Webster)
b)Self-delusions of the defeated (Old Joe Hunt)
c)Same old story, same old oscillation between tyranny and rebellion, war and peace, prosperity and impoverishment (Colin)
d)Certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation (Adrian…quoting Patrick Lagrange)
I thought question/analysis was the essence of the the book
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2012 at 5:44 AM
Glad to know I wasn't the only one confused! I think the Anonymous letter on Jan.28th presents some very good points. Certainly makes the "you never will get it" comment from Veronica to Tony make more sense. Not sure how much time lapsed between Tony and Veronica breaking up and Adrian coming on the scene.ReplyDelete
I read the book in one day and meant to go back over the ending....but it was due at the library.

Why did the caregiver say Veronica's name was Mary.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 11, 2012 at 5:31 PM
I have just finished reading the book and am looking for more analysis...and found this siteReplyDelete
My fantasies are as follows.
Sarah Ford leaves the diary to Tony becasue we all want people to know the truth about our heart. I can admit to that desire in myself, wanting to leave some trace or evidence (printed emails) so that some one will know the turth about my affairs of the heart, and I would not leave such documents to my children..but thats my projection...my interpretation saying as much about me as it does about the hostory
Second the blood money question...this is Veronica's explanation for why her mother Sarah Ford is "paying off" Tony...so why would Veronica feel this? If we put ourselves into her shoes, she has fallen in love with Adrian, and her mother Sarah Ford, usurps her by taking Adrian for herself. Mother and duaghter are in competition, perhaps not for the first time...We feel this through Tony when Sarah Ford (mother) tells him not to let Veronica get her way....the two were perhaps in intense competition....and an alcoholic father who was sidelined...perhaps this was her Veronica's damage...So perhaps a blood money payment to Tony for his responsibility in destroying Veronica in Adrian's eyes and promoting the sanity of Sarah Ford. But again, we have to see blood money through Veronica's eyes, not through some objective analysis of Sarah and Tony. Perhaps there is no trust between mother and daughter...so everything Sarah does is a betrayal, and so payments to third parties are blood money.
And then ..."especially now"...the carer says this because she assumes Tony knows that son Adrian's mother is Sarah Ford, who has recently died and as Terry says "he took it very baldy...he has been having problems lately" . She assumes Tony knows the complete story, yet at this point Tony doesnt even know that son Adrian is not Veronica's but Sarahs
And what of the formulae. Why should we accept Tony's interpretation. Tony guesses that A2 is him...but could A2 be future son/daughter eventually named Adrian....and not "b" for baby. Perhaps b means something else, like behaviour or accumulation...whatever, but why should we accept Tony's self centricity in the interpretation? It feels flimsy, the point being, we accept it becasue we want certainty and no ambiguity....but the formula is so ambigiuous, it can mean anything, but we, the readers cant cope with that...especially at the end of the novel...we have to have certainty....so we believe his interpretation, yet we are disappointed...but we prefer disappointment over uncertainty.
perhaps...and perhaps not...perhaps its just me who prefers disappointment over uncertainty. This is how solopsism, my mind...can make sense of my world...there is no objective truth, just as Barnes posits.

I just finished the book and came across this discussion. I read it straight through and was initially caputued by Barnes questioning of memory and the competing definitions of history. I was also drawn in by Tony's musings on his own "peacable" nature and how that may have impacted his life and marriage. The narrative was secondary until the rather bizzare twists at the end.ReplyDelete
While the theory that Tony was the father of the baby is compelling, the timeline does not work. the baby would have been born prior to the exchange of letters. Also, Veronica always told Tony the he didn't get it and never would, even when they where dating. I think she always loved him and he was never able to see it. his lack of confidence and blindness to her affection ultimately caused her irrational behavior, both in youth and at end on story.
For what it's worth, my take on it was that Adrian killed himself because he found out that he was madly in love with his own sister. He was said to have been very happy before his death, but obviously couldn't continue to be with her once he found out. The child of their union suffered genetically from the close kinship. The reference to blood money could mean that Tony was a Judas betraying someone he supposedly loved. The Sense of an Ending sure rang true in that many of our life events look completely different in retrospect than they did while taking place. Takes a great book to engender so many discussions and keep us talking even after the last page is turned.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 27, 2013 at 3:54 AM
My analysis of the book is the following: Sarah had an unnatural relationship with Tony. The breakfast scene, fliratious, laughing; she wrote to him after he and Veronica broke up. Tony does not admit to himself what actually happened at the Fords - he had a sexual relation with Sarah.ReplyDelete
Hence, Tony knew about her sexual proclivities and he basically baited Adrian to meet secretly with Sarah to find out about the damaged Veronica. I think Veronica left Tony (as he reflects intermittently on her with great fondness)and Tony had the grudge to bear. When Adrian subsequently gets together with Sarah, they have a relationship resulting in the child, Adrian.
The blood money is Sarah's gift to Tony for 'delivering' another of Veronica's boyfriends to her. She wants the secret to be known. This is the shocker for Tony because he knew of Sarah's wiles.
"[E]specially now" comment was meant to speak of Adrian's recent death of his mother Sarah.

Buller History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Origins Available: English, German
England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Buller family lived in Cornwall. Checking further we found the name was derived from the Flemish region of Boulaere, where the family resided before emigrating to England.
Early Origins of the Buller family
Cornwall where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Early History of the Buller family
Another 169 words (12 lines of text) covering the years 1200, 1630, 1682, 1659, 1660, 1679, 1613, 1679, 1659, 1660, 1632, 1716, 1688 and 1689 are included under the topic Early Buller History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Buller Spelling Variations
spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Buller, Bullar, Buler and others.
Early Notables of the Buller family (pre 1700)
(c. 1630-1682) was an English politician, Member of Parliament for Cornwall (1659), Member of Parliament for Saltash (1660-1679); Anthony Buller...
Another 31 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Buller Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Buller family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Buller or a variant listed above:
Buller Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Buller Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Buller Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Buller Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Buller Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Buller Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
Contemporary Notables of the name Buller (post 1700)
The Buller Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Aquila non captat muscas
Motto Translation: The eagle is no fly-catcher.

Paul Turovsky '73 admitted that he had two reactions when told he would receive an honorary degree and speak at Spring Commencement. First: "honored and humbled."
"I never dreamed when I graduated so long ago that I would ever have the opportunity to return to my alma mater to deliver a Commencement address," the real estate investment manager who earned a PhD in Latin American history from UCLA told graduates on May 20.
Second: nervousness about not being funny or witty enough, or "not being able to say something meaningful enough."
But he decided to focus on something he could talk passionately about and something graduates could relate to: the importance of a liberal arts education.
Turovsky manages more than $700 million in assets for institutional investors for True North Management Group. At Binghamton University, Turovsky chaired the Bold.Brilliant. Binghamton fundraising campaign; chairs the Binghamton University Foundation Board of Directors; is vice president of the BUF Housing Corporation; and chairs of the Harpur College Advocacy Council.
He studied history at Binghamton and learned from professors such as Sidney Harcave, Helen Rivlin, Charles Forcey and Melvin Dubofsky.
"The good news was that it was a choice to pursue a real passion that I had developed here at Binghamton," he said. "... The bad news probably was that I did it without knowledge of the many alternatives that were possible for someone like me.
"The point is that while there is nothing wrong with the student of the liberal arts going on to become a doctor or lawyer or teacher or even getting a business degree to become an accountant," he added. "What is important is that you recognize that there are many other possibilities and choices filled with enormous opportunities and the next step for you is to find out what some of them are."
After completing his degree, Turovsky said he realized that teaching and research at a university was not the only career he might be interested in.
"The challenge then was to turn the skills that I had developed in my academic training at Binghamton and UCLA to a new passion in a new career," he said. "To me – as something of an optimist – this wasn't a problem or a defeat. It was an opportunity."
Turovsky told the students that while a liberal arts degree could make their first job search more difficult than if they had a professional degree, he was confident they would succeed.
Once a job is in place, the educational background will prove even more beneficial, Turovksy said.
"The training you had in the liberal arts – the way you have learned to do research, analyze material, to work together in teams, come to conclusions and make judgments, make presentations and sell ideas – will stay with you for your entire life and help make you a more valuable asset in your profession and community," he said.
Turovsky concluded his address by imploring graduates to remain connected to Binghamton University.
"It took me more than 20 years after graduating before I returned to this school and started to re-establish my relationship as an alumnus," he said. "I regret that it took me so long to do this. So I would hope that you won't follow that path but instead continue to stay connected and do everything you can in the years ahead to help others gain access to the excellent educational opportunities that this fine University has provided to you."

Honda has made the Fit EV much more affordable by reducing the monthly cost of leasing the electric hatchback and adding free collision insurance. The new rates are effective for all new lessees, and also apply to existing customers as of June.Starting June 1, leasing a Honda Fit EV will cost just $259 per month for 36 months, down from $389 previously. There is no down payment, and the previous 12,000-mile annual mileage limit has been eliminated. Honda will also include a free 240-volt home charging station from Leviton, although customers must pay for installation; the charger was previously sold separately. In addition, Honda will provide collision insurance for the Fit EV — drivers still need to provide their own liability insurance, but Honda will handle any collision damage and repairs for free, with no deductible.The idea is to make leasing the Fit EV more appealing to customers as it becomes available in more states. The electric hatchback was initially sold only in California and Oregon, but can now also be leased in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.Through the end of April, Honda has sold – or leased, rather – 68 copies of the Fit EV this year. Combined with sales of 93 units in 2012, that means Honda has moved only 161 Fit EV hatchbacks so far.The Honda Fit EV replaces the car's standard 1.5-liter inline-four gas engine with a 92-kW electric motor and 20-kWh lithium-ion battery. According to the EPA, the car can drive 82 miles on a single battery charge.Most other electric cars are offered with lease deals, but Honda's is the only one with no down payment, free insurance, and no mileage limit. The Chevrolet Spark EV will be offered at $199 a month for 36 months, with $999 down. The Fiat 500e will cost lessees $199 per month for 36 months, after a $999 down payment. And leases on the Nissan Leaf go for as little as $199 per month, after a $1999 down payment.Source: Honda Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Slashed: Honda Fit EV Lease Price Drops to $259/Month /11 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 11 2 | 11 3 | 11 4 | 11 5 | 11 6 | 11 7 | 11 8 | 11 9 | 11 10 | 11 11 | 11

Hi everyone, I have a Toro/wheel horse 12-32xl law tractor. It has a 12 hp, single cylinder Briggs and Stratton power built engine.
The tractor starts right up, stays running and doesn't smoke at all but it pops when running. runs better with a little choke but with the setup with the throttle and choke I cant run it with the choke on because the choke is built in to the throttle adjustment. seems like its not getting enough fuel but I know it is because when I drop the bowl the gas pours in, checked the vent in the gas cap, change fuel line route and replaced fuel filter. I tried the sea foam trick down the carb twice and hasn't gotten any better. cleaned the carb twice(thought I missed something the first time) but nothing is working. when I restricted the air flow going into the carb I got a low idle but no high end power, remove the restriction and I get no idle and popping at any engine speed.
*the breather tube going into the air cleaner casting is broken and sucking in air from outside the air cleaner, could this cause the issue?

Portrait: David B. Lisle
[View enlarged]
David B. Lisle is a well known attorney of Utica who has been engaged in practice in this city since 1910 and has gained an enviable position in professional ranks. His birth occurred in the town of Brunswick, Rensselaer county, New York, on the 15th of November, 1880, his parents being David A. and Mary Jane Lisle of that place. He pursued a high school course at Troy, New York, and subsequently entered Colgate University, from which institution he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1904. At graduation from college he was elected member of Phi Beta Kappa, an honorary scholastic organization. He also is a member of Phi Kappa Psi college fraternity. Following the completion of his university course he became high school principal at Holland Patent, where he was thus identified with educational interests from 1904 until 1909. While so engaged he studied law in his spare time and in vacation periods, for it was his ambition to become a member of the legal fraternity. Toward that end he read under the preceptorship of the firm of Jones, Townsend & Rudd from July, 1909, until November 30, 1910, when he was admitted to the bar. In the latter year he began the work of his chosen profession in Utica, which city has since numbered him among its able and successful attorneys and where he has built up a clientage of large proportions. From January, 1915, until March, 1921, Mr. Lisle acted as attorney for the state comptroller in inheritance tax matters for Oneida county. He is ever faithful to his clients, fair to his adversaries and candid to the court and he enjoys the respect of his fellow members of the Oneida County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.
On the 8th of July, 1908, Mr. Lisle was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Ann Davies, daughter of Benjamin and Margaret Davies of Holland Patent, Oneida county, New York. They are the parents of two children: David B., Jr., who was born on the 6th of February, 1910; and Margaret E., whose natal day was February 11, 1913.
Mr. Lisle enlisted in the army in 1918, for service in the World war, and was sent to the Field Artillery Officers Training Camp at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky. He was mustered out of service in December, 1918. He is a member of the American Legion.
Though engaged in law practice in Utica, Mr. Lisle is a resident of Holland Patent and is deeply interested in public affairs of the community. He is rendering splendid service to the cause of education as president of the school board in Holland Patent. He has been a member of the republican county committee since 1910 and has served in the capacity of vice chairman. Mr. Lisle has membership in the University Club, while fraternally he is identified with the Masons and the Odd Fellows. The sterling worth of his character and his devotion to public duty are recognized by all, while his close conformity to the highest standards and ethics of the legal profession have won him the high regard, confidence and goodwill of his colleagues and contemporaries in the practice of law.

When working on database theory as it relates to PICK, I came up with "strings" as a critical component of the theory. So, now with string theory proposed as a Theory Of Everything in physics, I thought it was fun to have "string theory" as a TOE for database theory too. It was hard to find others to delight in this as I did at the time, however. smiles. --dawn Received on Thu Apr 22 2004 - 23:24:13 CEST

2 wired remotes on a Sony CDXM30
I currently have a wired remote on the dash for my Sony CDXM30, but I want to add another wired remote to the rear of the boat. Anyone had any experience wiring in 2 remotes to one plug ? Possible ?

Blackstone Sees Payoff From London Projects Banks Shunned
Blackstone Group LP (BX), manager of the world's biggest property fund, is collecting on 1.25 billion pounds ($2 billion) of bets it made mostly on London developments in the last five years as banks shunned similar investments.
"London is the number one city for attracting overseas investors and is where we've been fairly active," Ken Caplan, senior managing director in charge of European real estate, said in an interview. "A big focus of ours has been to target high- quality properties that have some type of fixable problem, that once fixed are perfect for institutional investors."
Blackstone can afford to be selective in London as banks avoid lending for developments unless a tenant is committed to lease space or a buyer is lined up for the completed property. The firm picked projects in growing markets like student housing as well as partially built properties that needed funding for completion.
The world's biggest buyout firm is seeking as much as 800 million pounds for Chiswick Park, a west London office development it bought in April 2011 for 480 million pounds. In June, the company sold three central London student dormitories to a fund managed by Round Hill Capital LLC for about 415 million pounds. The firm more than doubled its money on the deal, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Caplan declined to comment on the sales.
Blackstone, based in New York, is the largest U.S. owner of hotel properties, the No. 2 office landlord and the third- biggest owner of shopping centers, according to trade newsletter National Real Estate Investor. The firm combines investor capital with high levels of debt to buy troubled or undervalued assets, make improvements and sell them to achieve at least 20 percent annual returns.
Bank Reluctance
The investment firm placed bets on U.K. developments after project finance dried up in the wake of the global credit crisis. For the first time in at least 11 years, U.K. banks are unwilling to finance development projects without a tenant committed to lease space or a buyer for the completed property, according to a biannual study by De Montfort University released in May.
"The banks aren't taking on development, so private-equity firms have the keys to unlock development returns, provided that they can price risk correctly," said Matthew Cutts, head of the advisory team for lenders and investors at Arcadis NV (ARCAD)'s construction consultant EC Harris.
Because developments take years to get from the drawing board to the opening, the shorter-term investment strategies of buyout firms will increase sales and purchases of projects as they advance towards completion, Cutts predicted.
Chiswick Park
Blackstone this month hired CBRE Group Inc. (CBG) to handle the planned sale of 33-acre (13-hectare) Chiswick Park. Since buying the property in a deal 75 percent funded with debt 18 months ago, the firm cut vacancies to 1 percent from 9 percent and constructed a 215,000 square-foot (20,000 square-meter) building on the site.
"Total occupancy costs are half of what they are in the West End" district of central London, said Caplan, 39. The shortage of modern office space in the capital has helped drive up rents at Chiswick Park, he said.
Rents averaged 30.60 pounds a square foot when Blackstone acquired the property, according to Deutsche Bank AG asset- backed bond analysts. One of the most recent leasing deals there was for 47.75 pounds, Blackstone said.
Its funds invested in student housing as a shortage of university accommodation in London lifts rents faster than inflation and keeps vacancies low. The industry will register record sales this year because it generates income returns that beat the average for family housing or commercial real estate, broker Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. predicted.
Dormitory Brand
Blackstone built the 2,500-room Nido student-dormitory brand in central London. It started by acquiring a former bank office building at Kings Cross and turning it into high-end residence hall, repeating it in two other locations.
Blackstone has broken ground at a site near Woburn, 45 miles northwest of London, in a 250 million-pound plan to open a fifth location for its Centre Parcs vacation-resort business. The project includes 625 lodges and a 75-room hotel.
Office developments under way include a 700,000 square-foot building that UBS AG agreed to lease for about 18 years at Broadgate in the City of London. Blackstone and British Land Co. (BLND) each own 50 percent of the project.
Construction work at Woburn, Chiswick Park and Broadgate will employ 2,900 workers and provide space for 10,200 employees, Caplan estimates.
City Offices
Blackstone gained control of the Devonshire Square office campus in July for about 330 million pounds. Insurance broker Aon Corp., the largest tenant on the site near London's Liverpool Street train station, plans to move into nearby skyscraper that British Land is scheduled to complete in 2014.
"It's a repositioning opportunity," that may attract technology, media and telecommunications companies, Caplan said in an interview at his office in London's Mayfair neighborhood.
The U.K. is Europe's largest real estate investment market, Real Capital Analytics Inc. data show. London property is attracting international investors as they try to protect wealth from economic and political turmoil in the euro region and the Middle East.
The U.K. represents a large proportion of the 2 billion euros ($2.6 billion) excluding debt that Blackstone invested in European real estate during the past two years. That may soon change.
Blackstone in July agreed to acquire Gecina SA's (GFC) French logistics properties for about 203 million euros to add to the portfolio of industrial and logistics centers it's assembling globally. In June, the firm acquired three malls in Turkey from Redevco BV of the Netherlands.
"The U.K has been our most active market to date, however we are seeing an increasing number of opportunities across Europe," Caplan said.

Largest Single Asset Real Estate Loan in Nation Issued Since Capital Markets Crashed Last Fall
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Governor David Paterson joined The Durst Organization to announce $1.275 billion in financing for The Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. This is the first major real estate financing completed in the United States since capital markets crashed last fall. The first LEED Platinum certified commercial tower in the country, One Bryant Park is an Empire State Development Corporation Project and contributes $30 million annually in PILOTs. Originally, the project received $650 million in Liberty Bonds for construction of the building. The size of the new financing is $325 million larger than the financing for construction, which reflects the appreciation of the asset, a positive sign for New York City's economy.
"The financing of The Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park is a great vote of confidence in the strength and vitality of our City's long-term economic future," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Liberty Bonds helped finance this tower after September 11th, sending a signal to the world that the City remained open for development and business. This most recent financing is a great indication that New York City remains well poised for growth. I'd like to congratulate The Durst Organization and its lending partners on this deal and thank them for their commitment to New York."
"This is both an extraordinary financial deal and an extraordinary environmental achievement for the City and State of New York," said Governor Paterson. "I want to congratulate everyone involved, including The Durst Organization and Bank of America, for working together to find a way, despite the difficult marketplace, to structure a deal that will generate significant revenue for the City, the State and the MTA. More than that, I hope that this positive news will spur a renewed sense of optimism that our economy is beginning to rebound and that such deals can be achieved."
The Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park is a 50/50 joint venture of the Bank of America and The Durst Organization. Ground was broken on August 2nd, 2004 on the 2.1 million-square-foot-55-story building and has been open since May, 2008. It is 98% leased and is expected to be completed early in 2010. Designed by Cook + Fox Architects the building is the first LEED Platinum skyscraper ever built and is the most advanced building of its size in the United States.
"Thank you to our lenders, partners and advisors for getting this deal done," said Douglas Durst, Chairman of The Durst Organization. "We are very proud of One Bryant Park; the building has proven to be a trail blazer. It's the first LEED Platinum office tower in the United States. It was the largest skyscraper designed and built after September 11th, 2001 and now it's the first building to get a large loan after the credit markets froze last year. We are hopeful that this financing will engender additional lending and get our city, state and nation's economies back on track."
With an emphasis on sustainability, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and energy and atmosphere, One Bryant Park features a wide range of sophisticated environmental technologies, from filtered under-floor displacement air ventilation to advanced double-wall technology and translucent insulating glass in floor-to-ceiling windows that permit maximum daylight and optimum views. It also includes a state-of-the-art onsite 4.6-megawatt combined heat and power electric plant. The building makes 70% of its energy onsite by producing its own electricity and capturing and reusing waste from the combustion of natural gas in order to heat the building, make hot water and provide steam to power the air conditioning system. The building saves 10,000,000 gallons of water a year by using waterless urinals, collecting and reusing rain water and ground water and by recycling the water used in sinks.
The financing for the loan was provided by a consortium of financial institutions. Bank of America is the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Bank of New York Mellon is the Construction Agent and Wells Fargo Bank is the Collateral Agent. Financing is also provided by Westdeutsche Immobilien Bank and Heleba Bank.

Here's something worth seeing in person. At The Cable Show next week Motorola will be showing off a 3D TV demo using both a TV display and a Motorola set-top currently on the market. While 3D content delivery isn't ready for prime time (yet), the consumer hardware to receive and display 3D pictures is already available.
I can't speak to the TV sets – though 3D displays have generated increasing attention over the last 18 months – but I can speak to the set-tops supporting 3D. There are three basic qualifications. Compared to the last generation of set-tops in the field, next-gen versions must have more processing power, more memory, and MPEG-4 support, a la the Motorola DCX set-top product line. Other than that, it's all a matter of video processing and encoding before content is delivered to the set-top, and a feedback loop between set-top and monitor to synchronize the frames of video being delivered to the left and right eyes.
For video processing purposes, Motorola is working now, along with many others, on 1080p video delivery at 60 frames per second, which doubles the current 30 frames per second rate on the highest quality of 1080p HD video delivered today. Although 1080p60 was initially under development for improved displays of high-speed sports action, it turns out to be ideal for stereoscopic viewing (i.e. 3D TV) as well. Each eye can get video information delivered at 30 frames per second for a high-quality, depth-enhancing experience.
From a bandwidth perspective, I was surprised to learn that 3D TV likely won't end up being more onerous than HD TV is today. Between improvements in compression technology (like MPEG-4), and the ability to take advantage of redundancy in the images delivered to the left and right eyes of a viewer, bandwidth will not be as big a concern as I would have expected.
Finally, if you're wondering when 3D TV will go beyond demos to consumer availability, the wait may not be as long as you think. According to a recent report put out by the CEA and the Entertainment Technology Center, consumers are increasingly showing a willingness to pay extra for 3D TV. "For those who have seen a 3D movie in the last year, 60 percent are willing to spend more on a 3D television for their home, and 19 percent are willing to spend up to 25 percent more." Where there's money to be earned, 3D TV will follow. Maybe the EngadgetHD guys should startworking on Engadget3D?

Dave Chappelle has a reputation for doing things his way, and he's become such a force in the world of comedy that it's hard for anyone to really argue with him anymore. This is a man who walked away from millions of dollars and one of the most talked-about TV shows on the planet because it just felt right to him. Sometimes he walks off stage because people won't quiet down, while other times he explcitly tells security to let the hecklers stay just so he can mess with them. Sometime he's onstage for an hour, and other times he sticks around for six. You can call him erratic or unpredictable or just plain crazy all you want, but Dave Chappelle will just keep right on being Dave Chappelle.
Though he's risen to become one of the biggest stand-ups of his generation, Chappelle still has one thing in common with just about every comic performing today: cell phones are the bane of his existence, and not just because of the lights and sound. For many comics (Patton Oswalt is probably the most famous), there's a concern that someone is out in the audience discreetly recording their sets, which can be a problem for both intellectual property reasons and because sometimes a comic just needs time to work out a joke live before they get it where they'd like it to be. Unfortunately for Chappelle, and for every stand-up, you just can't get people to keep their phones in their pockets, nor can you corral every cell phone in the room into a single secure location. You can temporarily cripple them, though, and that's just what Chappelle is going to do.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chappelle has partnerned with tech company Yondr for a phone-disabling effort at a series of sold-out shows in Chicago this week. Yondr has developed a special sleeve, first used at a comedy show by Hannibal Buress, that will lock shut when guests enter a "no phone zone." So, if you head to a Chappelle show this week, you'll be a handed a sleeve, asked to place your phone inside it, and then when you take your seat you'll find you can no longer access your phone, and you won't be able to as long as you're in the performance area. Walk into the lobby, and the sleeve is magically unlocked, allowing you to post that all-important tweet, but when you walk back to your seat, voila, no more phone use for you.
Obviously this method is not available to all stand-ups, because it's not exactly free. But if this works for Chappelle, it could have all sorts of applications. Imagine going to the movies, secure in the knowledge that the idiot in front of you not only won't use his phone, but can't. This doesn't exactly guarantee smooth sailing at Chappelle gigs from now — people can still shout "I'm Rick James, bitch!" after all — but it is a step in the right direction.

'Pay As You Go' For Cardiff City Veterans
Cardiff City are known to have offered contract extensions to their two veteran strikers despite failing to set the division alight last season. Hasselbaink played regularly but looked slow and cumbersome while his goal contribution was also lacking. Robbie Fowler enjoyed a better goals to games ratio but was kept out of the side by injury.
Surely we can't afford to keep both strikers on the books, experienced or not. It seemed a gamble last season (one that didn't pay off) and the odds can only have lengthened this time around with a 36 year old striker likely to struggle.
We are definately in the market for two new strikers meaning that Warren Feeney and Steve Thompson seem almost certain to leave.
However, Hasselbaink and/or Fowler may yet leave. Neither needs the money but may prefer to move elsewhere in search of more regular secured football.
Fowler is the more likely to stay and would be a useful addition providing he can lay his injury problems to rest...

Can HCG Help You Lose Weight? Is HCG Safe
Buy Injectable HCG for Weight Loss and Fertility Treatments
HCG is a powerful hormone associated with pregnancy. Popularized by Kevin Trudeau and others as a way of losing weight, it is also used as a fertility treatment. If you do get a prescription for HCG from a doctor, you should tell other medical professionals in your life that you are taking it, since it also serves as a marker for certain cancers, and may create a false positive on a pregnancy test. There are also other drugs which may interact negatively with hcg shots, so you should always consult with your doctor and let them know all the prescriptions and supplements you are getting. As a hormone, HCG stimulates the production of eggs in a woman's ovaries and is often used for their collection for IVF and surrogate parenting. In men, it will cause or maintain the production of testosterone and according to its proponents it also stimulates the hypothalamus to cause loss of fat tissues. Because HCG stimulates egg production within one to two days of injection, women may need to know that they are more fertile after shots are given and take the approprate precautions, or avoid the appropriate precautions if they are looking to have a baby.
Very Special Note: The FDA does not recommend using HCG for Weight Loss or for the treatment of obesity. Thjis site is for informational purposes only, and does not advocate hcg shots for weight loss, fertility, or any other course of action which may be unsafe. We hope to help people make responsible decisions about the HCG diet. There are anecdotal claims that hcg is a fat burner, but common sense would tell us that you should try non-drug weight loss methods first. My own personal interest in HCG comes from a Christmas party where I talked to a woman who clearly had lost a good deal of weight. She spoke about HCG for over a half hour, and even though I had never heard of it before, it seemed to me that her passion for the injections and the diet had a genuine effect on her size and her sense of well being. This led me to research the topic further. I am not a doctor and can't recomment HCG usage, but as a personal anecdote I can see why it is a popular supplement among the naturopathic doctors and their patients.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Nothing on this site should be considered medical advice. We are not a pharmacy and do not dispense or sellHCG, nor do we represent or endorse any online sellers of vitamin b6, vitamin b12, or any other injectables. Always ask a licensed professional for the best information, especially if you're going to need to inject others. Fans of Dr. Oz have seen him feature HCG on his show not once but twice, with the usual warnings about how the diet could affect people.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
A unique former plantation owner's house with luxury spacious accommodation for up to 8 adults. Extremely private, it is set in the valley of La Brenas with spectacular views of the ocean and mountains. Surrounded by extensive exotic gardens and sun terraces it boasts a large heated private swimming pool. It is in an ideal central location for discovering the most beautiful of the Canary Islands. Untouched by mass tourism La Palma is a walkers' and nature lovers' paradise. The capital Santa Cruz and the beach resort of Los Cancajos are a short drive away. Most parts of the island are less than an hour's drive away.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Peter and Janet Baker fell in love with La Palma when visiting friends there. They have thoughtfully and carefully restored an old avocado plantation owner's house which they bought in 2003.
They have used experience gained in running two holiday cottages on the coast of Northumberland in the UK to equip Villa Miranda to a high standard. Their aim was to provide modern comforts in a characterful setting.
Peter, an amateur artist, was inspired by the flowers and scenery around the house to produce a series of paintings and drawings. These hang alongside other antique and modern works of art on the walls of the house.
Peter and Janet were instantly impressed by how La Palma was untouched by the mass tourism which seemed to have taken over some of the other Canary islands.
The island has spectacular scenery and many areas are protected from development.
Villa Miranda is in a rural location, but with easy access to the capital, the airport and the small seaside resorts on both sides of the island. You feel you are living among a local canarian population and you can share the fiestas and traditions of the area of Brena Alta. Alternatively there is the space to just retreat into the seclusion of the villa and its grounds and enjoy the pool and other amenities.
The villa is located fairly central to the island. It forms a perfect base for visiting the national park in the centre of the island, the volcanoes in the south west, the east and west coasts and the rocky regions of the north. The capital, Santa Cruz, and the airport are only twenty minutes away by car.
Most other villas for rent on the island are fairly small and basic and do not have a private pool. Peter and Janet set out to provide a level of comfort and luxury in a spacious and traditional setting at a reasonable price.
They also deliberately set out to offer a fixed rental price all year round, so that visitors were not doubly penalised by increased villa and flight prices at peak times of the year.
Please also see our reviews on Trip Adviser.
'It is rare to visit a place that looks so good on the internet and to find it surpassing expectations. Your house is so well furnished and comfortable and thoughtfully equipped.' Karen UK.
We feel very fortunate to have had such a lovely base from which to explore the island. It's truely a special place and I hope to have a chance to stay there again. Jon, USA.
Its was an absolute delight to stay at a house where somebody had been so thoughtful as to buy books and toys for the children. The DVD selection for children and parents was great too. We'll certainly be recommending Villa Miranda to friends and family. Joanna UK.
Terrible. We were told there was a petty thief in the area and to put everything in the safe provided and keep all doors locked at all times. A thief still got in and pulled the safe off the wall with all our contents passports credit cards driving licences iPads mobiles and at least £2000 in cash. We are very unhappy and will cost a lot of time and money to replace.
My family enjoyed their holiday at La Palma. The villa was amazing, a beautiful property full of character and the children loved the swimming pool. We loved the short walks to Mount Brena and San Pedro but car hire is vital as the island just begs to be explored. Highlights were the woods at El Pilar, the waterfall at Los Tilos and the sea swimming pools at La Fajana. The stunning veiws from Roque Muchachos and the amazing black sand beach at the characterful capital, Santa Cruz de la Palma. The villa provided an idyllic base with beautiful views of an unspoilt island. Thanks for an amazing holiday!
Stayed here in May 2017 4th to the 11th. From first contact with peter everything went smoothly from enquiries about the property to receiving details on how to find the place.
We hired a car from Asiontravel through peter, picked up car from the airport and were escorted to the villa by Pilar the owner of the company who also was looking after the villa. very helpful nothing was to much trouble for her even though we arrived late evening after 30 minutes holdup at Manchester.
The villa is magnificent very nicely put together with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 down the sun room with large windows has wonderful views across the hillside and bay. Large TVs room with a big selection of dvds to watch if that's what you fancy on a evening or a good selection of books to read at your leisure. A very well fitted kitchen with all that you needed leading out to a good sized under cover seating area and the first of the outdoor terraces that are located around the large well planted garden so if you require somewhere quiet and private to chill out and sunbathe to you heart content there will be somewhere for you .
There's a very large seating area around the pool with loungers.the pool was warm enough although there is no shallow end so children may need watching but that should be done whichever pool they are in. The garden as a large selection of trees which brings a veritable selection of wildlife to watch while soaking up the sun.
The use of a car was essential to see around the island and the magnificent views wherever you looked though some of the higher roads could be testing if driven too fast.
This was a wonderful week away in a splendid place the only improvement I could think of making would be the addition of a hot tub to soothe tiered bodies after a good walk,maybe under the covered seating area so it could be used year round.
A big thankyou to peter for letting us stay
Howard Leighton and family
Thoroughly enjoyable. It was a huge villa, lots of little pockets of space outside to explore and relax in. Very private. The pool was very large and (if the weather had been a little better) a great place to get some sun. There was a kestrel nesting in a nearby palm tree which kept us entertained. The views were great. The only thing that the villa could do with are mosquito nets over the windows so that you could be comfortable leaving windows open to air the rooms, other than that it was a great villa and would definitely recommend it.
If you just want to Relax and unwind as we did its perfect,
you definitely need a car, the Island is Beautiful and very green
Correspondence with Peter was very good and any questions I had he answered quickly
The Villa is very Well equipped with everything you need.
We felt privileged to have the opportunity of staying in this sympathetically restored 200 yr old villa set in mature gardens which had originally been an avocado plantation and with views of the sea. The central, slightly elevated location made exploring the island easy and ensured a more comfortable temperature for sleeping etc than on the coast. The villa felt like a luxurious home that the owner had just vacated for a couple of weeks. Everything we needed and more was supplied including enough books to stock a library! We enjoyed our swim in the large covered, solar heated, swimming pool before breakfast every morning with the golden sunlight lighting the bushes including the backdrop of the green tree covered folds of the hills. Pilar, the agent, was very helpful when needed. There were a few maintenance problems which we have drawn to the attention of the owner, and we are confident these will be rectified.
La Palma lives up to it's reputation of being a beautiful island with diverse scenery and terrain, interesting towns and villages and places of interest and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed a fiesta in the next village at which we were the only foreigners and a male voice choir and mandolin concert in Santa Cruz.
The villa is 15 minutes drive from the beach resort of Los Cancajos. This resort has a number of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops but remains pleasantly small scale. The beach is black sand, as are all beaches on the island, and rocky outcrops make it safe for swimming.
La Palma's small airport is a 20 mins drive away as is the harbour of Santa Cruz which has a ferry connection to Tenerife. There are currently direct flights once per week to the island from Gatwick and Manchester. Contact owner for further information. Car hire is essential if you wish to discover the range and beauty of the island.
The nearest small town is San Pedro, 5 mins by car, which has supermarkets, bars and shops. Santa Cruz, the capital, is 20 mins drive away. A 45 mins drive through mountain scenery and tunnels will take you to the other side of the island with Los Llanos, the 'second capital' and the beach resorts of Puerto Naos and Tazacorte. It is less than an hour's drive from the house to most parts of the island with its striking contrasts of coast and mountain scenery.
Further Details:
Horseriding, diving, mountain biking and walking tours can be arranged in the local area. Though set in a rural area, restaurants, shops, bars and supermarkets are only a short drive away from the house.

Kristen Stewart Buys New Los Feliz Home for $2.1 Million Near Robert Pattinson, Source Confirms
Looks like the perfect place for romantic sleepovers!
With her love life back on track, Kristen Stewart is ready to call a new place home: A 3,361 square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4-bath home in the trendy Los Angeles nabe of Los Feliz.
PHOTOS: Rob and Kristen then and now
The 22-year-old On the Road star has snapped up the pad for $2,195,000, two sources confirm to Us Weekly. (RealEstalker first broke the story.) Strategically located near her on-again love Robert Pattinson's Los Feliz residence (which he bought in September for $6.2 million), Stewart's new place features deep, shaded verandas, Saltillo tile and wide-plank flooring, a deluxe eat-in kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and rustic wood cabinets, a fire pit, a dark-bottom swimming pool and views of Hollywood.
PHOTOS: Kristen and Rupert's road to infidelity
Since quietly reconciling following Stewart's infamous July fling with director Rupert Sanders, Stewart and Pattinson, 26, have kept an extremely low profile -- but were sighted together over the weekend at Hollywood haunts Chateau Marmont and Ye Rustic Inn.
PHOTOS: Rob and Kristen strip down shooting a love scene
"Rob is still taking his time with Kristen," a source tells Us Weekly of the stars, who will share the red carpet starting later this month as they promote Breaking Dawn Part 2 -- the final film in the Twilight Saga that brought the couple together.

A very talented group of young folks recently performed at "Showin' Off the Kids," a lip-synching and choreography contest sponsored by Soldotna Community Schools. The participants, Kindergarten through Eighth grade, entertained the audience with their dynamic performances.
This fun filled evening would not be possible without the contributions made by our wonderful sponsors: KSRM Radio Group, First National Bank Alaska, Wells Fargo Bank Alaska, Mike Silba of The Music Box and the Soldotna Dairy Queen. Thank you for providing advertising, prizes and a lot of support.
The participants and audience were having a great time, but the judges definitely had their work cut out for them the difficult task of choosing winners in each category. It is tough when every performance is so good. Special thanks to these hardy souls: Bob Lindstrom of First National Bank Alaska, Becky Sanford of Wells Fargo Bank Alaska, Carey Hart of Freedom Realty, Kim Coreson of Savers Digital Archiving, Dustin Miller of Soldotna High School Swing Choir and Joe Rogers of Southcentral Title Agency, who served as tally judge. Debbie Wik was the program announcer and kept the show rockin' and rollin'.
Behind the scenes the show was running smoothly, thanks to our wonderful volunteers: Judy Imholte, Ken Lancaster, Kristina Rogers, and our two Cook Inlet Academy NHS volunteers, Jake Zufelt and Stephanie McNutt. Each volunteer worked hard and was instrumental to the success of the show. We truly appreciate the support and energy of these community members and high school students. A special thanks also goes out to the parents of the contestants who make a point of supporting our youth activities with their attendance. Thanks to all.

Breckland and Thetford ForestNorfolk Category Outdoor Activities, Nature & Wildlife
The Brecks has one of the most distinctive landscapes in the UK and boasts its best overall climate with low rainfall and hot summers.
The rambling area of untamed wilderness comprises vast forests of native coniferous softwood, lines of Scots pines called 'Deal rows' that are sometimes still maintained as true hedges, patches of classic historic heathland that were formed thousands of years ago by the felling and burning of forests for grazing land, and wide arable fields. Also unique to the Brecks are the prehistoric Pingos.
On the edge of the Norfolk/Suffolk border the Brecks gateway is the ancient town of Thetford, which is a perfect base from which to begin your exploration of the area's diversity, its outstanding wildlife, rich history and fun outdoor activities. To the north is the beautifully-preserved market town of Swaffham (where Tutankhamen archaeologist Howard Carter grew up), to the east is Dereham, the centre point of the county.
Thetford Forest, planted just after the First World War by the Forestry Commission, covers 20,000 hectares and, just like the rest of the Brecks, is perfect for cycling on quiet lanes and off-road, walking, horse riding and orienteering – or a more gentle picnic.
From at least the fourteenth century, large areas were used for warrens, and the intensive grazing of the rabbits could lead to the formation of mobile sand dunes: In the 1760s the area was described as 'sand, and scattered gravel, without the least vegetation; a mere African desert'. Dickens mentioned how barren it was in David Copperfield. Things are very different now!
The Brecks also has Peddars Way, which runs for 63 miles from just outside Thetford at Kettishall Heath to the north Norfolk coast via Swaffham. The route eventually meets the Norfolk Coast Path at Holme-next-the-Sea.

The project is different than most business parks as it has easy access to rail and is next door to the Union Pacific intermodal facility that loads and unloads truck trailers on flat beds for transportation via rail. More and more cargo is being moved by a combination of train and truck making the location appealing for distribution centers.
It would create enough square feet to accommodate eight operations the size of the Manteca Ford Auto Parts Distribution Center in Spreckels Park. The space is also equivalent to 53 stores the size of Manteca's Wal-Mart.
The Manteca City Council on Tuesday is expected to approve a $255,300 agreement with Michael Brandman Associates to prepare an environmental impact report for the CenterPoint Intermodal Center. They also are expected to pass an amendment to an agreement with Strategic Planning Collaborative for $104,450 to master plan the area surrounding the proposed project.
That is keeping with a promise by the City Council and staff to make sure all large projects planned in the future encompass the entire area impacted so street patterns and other improvements will easily flow when adjacent land is developed.
The developer was required to post money required for the studies with the city. The city then solicits proposals for the work and picks the firm they want to do the work using the developer's money to cover the bill.
The project consists of:
•annexing 18 parcels comprising of 392 acres.
•general plan amendments including changing the designation of a 78-acre parcel north of Lathrop Road from light industrial to general commercial.
•prezoning 16 parcels.
•approving a development agreement.
•creating a tentative parcel map for the development of 273 acres into an intermodal center that will be accessed from Roth Road and Airport Way.
•developing a master plan for buildings that have a combined 4 million square feet.
Developers are preparing to do a traffic study for the complex that includes 980 parking spaces for truck trailers and 769 loading dock doors.
What makes the Center Point project unique is that it is a being designed as a true intermodal distribution center. That means every building would have rail service.
The location is especially advantageous for two reasons.
First it is just a few hundred yards from the southeast edge of the Union Pacific intermodal operation and with 10 miles of the Santa Fe intermodal operation that puts truck trailers on and of railroad flat bed cars for long distance transportation. The plus of having the two intermodal railroad operations nearby — one a four minute drive, if that — and the other 25 minutes away means whatever companies locate there have the capability of moving goods to and from virtually every major market west of the Mississippi River in a time efficient manner.
Manteca is also at the heart of the third largest market — 17 million consumers — within a 100-mile radius behind New York-Long Island and Los Angeles. It is what attracted Bass Pro Shops to Manteca. That means trucks can travel to and from the distribution center to stores serving 17 million consumers easily within an eight-hour workday.
The site is virtually smack dab at the midway point Highway 99 and Interstate 5 accessed by Lathrop Road. It is also connected to the Highway 120 Bypass directly via Airport Way, which also provides access to Stockton Metro Airport.
If the distribution center materializes, it will be one of a kind in terms of location and size in the Northern San Joaquin Valley.
The site still has to be annexed to the City of Manteca. It is within Manteca's sphere of influence and is continuous to the city limits.

At the 2015 EICMA show, the Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen (shown above) debuted to much fanfare, as the neo-retro model showed a new direction for the Swedish brand's street lineup, with the machine heavily expected to come as a production model.
And now today, we see that a "Svartpilen" 701 model will debut as well, with spy photos of the bike being captured in its near-production form.
The black-colored and more scrambler-styled Husqvarna 701 Svartpilen is an addition to the white-colored and more roadster-styled Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen that we have already seen.
As such, it seems clear that Husqvarna is expanding its on-road offering in a big way, and to be beyond its current crop of simple supermoto designs.
