England v Montenegro (8pm)

Montenegro: TBA
Click here for all the latest World Cup qualifying scores from around Europe
Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the World Cup qualifiers as England host Montenegro at Wembley in their penultimate group game.
Roy Hodgson's side go into their final fixtures knowing that two wins would take them to the World Cup finals in Brazil next summer, but they face a Montenegro side who they have failed to defeat in three previous attempts.
Andros Townsend is set to start for the Three Lions who will also have one eye on the scoreline in Kharkiv as group rivals Ukraine and Poland clash still with a chance of finishing ahead of England.
Host commentator
Well, that was nerve-jangling, but England are half way there after what in the end was a comfortable victory.
Roy Hodgson's side were labourious at times in the first-half, got a big slice of luck for their second goal and will be without Kyle Walker through suspension against Poland, but there are plenty of positives to take in to Tuesday night's final qualifier.
Not least the performance of Andros Townsend, who was superb, creating one and scoring a screamer as he justified his selection by Roy Hodgson with a man of the match display.
Roll on Tuesday night.
Thanks for reading.
'Roy Hodgson applauds all four corners of Wembley and then shoves the ITV roving cameraman out of the way as he tries to get in between the England boss and the players he wants to embrace. There's slightly more swagger in Hodgson's step after that team selection and result, that's for sure.'
That scoreline makes it look a lot easier than it was, but it's job done for England.
Cool as you like, Sturridge sends the keeper the wrong way and rolls it in.
Sportsmail's Graham Poll says: 'No choice but to give that penalty for a clear foul on Sturridge who scores from the spot.'
Sturridge is scythed down with a horrible change. And he'll take it...
The crowd are deafeningly loud inside Wembley now. There were a few hushed moments earlier, particularly as half-time approached and Damjanovic pulled a goal back, but they are in full voice now.
Andros Townsend gets the biggest cheer of the night as he is named man of the match on the PA system. He's got a beaming smile sat on the bench, and why not?
England make their final substitution with James Milner replacing Steven Gerrard. The England captain has been immense tonight. Rooney takes over the skipper's armband.
'Damjanovic appeared to be marginally offside when scoring for Montenegro but at full speed it was too close to call for the Spanish assistant.'
England are in cruise control now, and Montenegro have taken off their biggest threat in Jovetic. Andros Townsend, meanwhile, comes off to a rapturous ovation to be replaced by Jack Wilshere. The attendance, in case you're interested is 83,807.
What a goal! Surely that settles it?
After a scrappy little period of play Townsend grabs the bull by the horns, seizing on a bouncing ball in the middle of the park, bringing it down, shifting it on to his right foot and hammering it home with precision in to the bottom left-hand corner of Poleksic's goal. The keeper had absolutely no chance.
It's never easy, is it?
Just as England we're threatening to run riot they are caught out on the break with a rather fortuitous goal. Beciraj's shot was horribly scuffed but Damjanovic was there to re-direct it past a stranded Hart.
Good save! Poleksic has obviously dried those tears because he saw that rasping drive from Welbeck very well, diving and palming it out of danger.
Just moments before Wayne Rooney's cut-back was just a bit behind Steven Gerrard, who's shot was deflected wide.
Michael Carrick has replaced Frank Lampard for England. Suddenly Roy Hodgson's bench looks very strong. Goals change games and all that.
Ex-Blackburn midfielder Simon Vukcevic is on for the visitors.
Off the bar!
Jovetic rattles the woodwork with an absolute thunderblaster from 30 yards. Unlucky. Hart was well beaten.
The chance looked to be gone as Welbeck's cut back missed out Rooney and Sturridge but Boskovic has somehow contrived to slot the ball home past Poleksic (quite a finish were it at the other end).
The Montenegro goalkeeper is crying! It was that bad...
Fatos Beciraj is on for the booked Pavicevic for Montenegro.
Kyle Walker is OUT of the Poland game. A rather needless booking comes his way after shoving Jovetic to the ground when the forward looked to be going nowhere.
Hart makes a decent save from a Damjanovic header from the resulting free-kick.
It's got a bit niggly after the goal, with the Montenegrins showing their frustration with a couple of cynical trips in midfield as England tried to counter. Pavicevic and Volkov are the men booked in quick succession.
There it is!
All made by a brilliant, lung-busting run from Andros Townsend.
The Spurs winger picked up the ball deep inside his own half and galloped away down the right flank before cutting the ball back across the area... a deflection took the ball into Welbeck's path and after his effort was saved Rooney was there to tap it home.
We're back under way here. No changes from either side...
That cranks the pressure up on England with the second half just a few minutes away... As things stand Ukraine are a point clear at the top of the group with a virtually guaranteed three points to come in San Marino on Tuesday night.
Come on England!
'Referee warning Montenegro not to hold and block at corners but the way Jagielka was pushed in the face at the penultimate corner makes you sceptical that the Spanish referee will give a penalty.'
The referee brings the first-half to an end after a spell of pressure from England.
There were some very dubious-looking challenges in the box from the Montengrin defenders as England forced a series of late corners, but the referee is happy just to warn the guilty parties.
Montenegro have grown into the game more as the half has wore on but it's actually providing England with more chances as they can utilise the pace of Townsend, Sturridge and Co on the break. The latest such attack ends with a Welbeck effort deflected wide.
Big chance! Townsend and Rooney both go close within a matter of seconds after a swift counter-attack.
Townsend was set free down the right by a clever flick from Rooney and he cut in and shot low with his left foot to force a good save from Poleksic. Rooney pounced on the rebound, but the angle was tight and he could only hit the outside of the post.
'England assistant manager Ray Lewington on the touchline for first time. He is not overly amused with what he is seeing.'
Close! Steven Gerrard has England's best effort of the match, curling an effort from outside the box towards Poleksic's bottom left-hand corner, but the Montenegro keeper tips it wide and collects the resulting corner with ease.
'Atmosphere a little subdued as the news filters around Wembley that Ukraine are ahead. Someone tries to get the national anthem going but it fizzled out before it began. England's early pace and tempo has faded too. Roy looks a little pensive, he is in need of a shot of inspiration from someone.'
Ukraine have taken a second-half lead against Poland in the other game in Group H. As things stand then, the Ukrainians are top.
Danny Welbeck sees an effort from a tight angle saved by Poleksic after determined work by Baines on the by-line... England are then nearly caught out on the break as Damjanovic gets on the end of a hopeful long ball but Hart comes out to sweep up.
'Just the kind of evening, cold and damp, for England to be dreaming of a summer beside the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, But so far nerves, and poor decision making in the final third, means still much work to be done before the tickets to Brazil are booked.'
'Am enjoying watching Andros Townsend pick the ball up on the right and just run at people. It may be quite an opaque tactic but it's very entertaining - and a pleasure to see England attack the game, rather than playing with fear and caution. Leighton Baines has adopted a similar attitude on the left, leaving England almost playing with a back three at times; such is the Everton full back's desire to get forward.'
Stevan Jovetic has Montenegro's first shot of the night from 30 yards, but it trickles well wide of Hart's right-hand post.
Sturridge curls one high and wide of Poleksic's goal with his weaker right foot. Smart build-up play again from England though who have a stranglehold on midfield.
'Not at all unexpected but Monte have a VERY deep back eight which is why Hodgson has selected wingers who can dribble, full-backs who over-lap and two holding midfielders with 49 England goals between them. This is going to be a test of flair, imagination and creativity and for those few with defensive responsibilities, concentration.'
'It's early on but Townsend is happy to go to ground easily – the referee is not fooled though and play continues.'
England have started the better of the two sides, with Gerrard in like a terrier on anything loose in midfield. Rooney is dropping back in to help at times but Sturridge staying on the last line.
England are lining up very much as expected. It's essentially a 4-4-2 but Hodgson will be looking for fluidity and movement from his attacking players. Danny Welbeck - doing just that - cuts in from the left to blaze the first shot of the match over the bar.
Montenegro get us under way...
The drizzle is is coming down but a pre-match blast of music over the loud speakers has created a bit of a party atmosphere. Lots of flags being waved and smiles to the roving camera. Still a fair few empty seats as we near kick-off, though.
Before we switch our attention solely to England, with kick-off less than 10 minutes away now, it's worth noting that Ukraine and Poland have headed into half-time 0-0 in Kharkiv.
Ukraine are level on points with England, with Poland just two behind.
Never shy of a controversial word or two, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has just said on ITV's pre-game show that Joe Hart should have been dropped by England six months ago.
The spotlight will be on Hart tonight after a series of errors for Manchester City.
England's No 7 tonight born in Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone and raised in Chingford... as was another very famous player who wore that shirt and was famed for his whipped cross.
A recorded pre-match message from Roy Hodgson has just been played on the big screen. He asked the fans to get behind the England team but, interestingly, also urged them to 'be sympathetic'.
You can spot the subs a mile off in an England warm up. Those in the team are on their game, the ones left out are going through the motions.
Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard focused beyond belief. They need a steadying hand.
Manchester City forward Stevan Jovetic starts for the visitors, as does former City defender Stefan Savic.
Montenegro: Poleksic, Pavicevic, Jovanovic, Volkov, Kecojevic, Jovetic, Damjanovic, Zverotic, Drincic, Savic, Boskovic.
Subs: Blazic, Novakovic, Krkotic, Igumanovic, Janjusevic, Kasalica, Vesovic, Vukcevic, Dembasic, Beqiraj.
Half century for Roy: Andros Townsend will be the 50th different player capped by Hodgson. It is his 21st game in charge.
It's not quite a brolly evening at Wembley; it's far too blustery for that.
Montenegro are having a wander round the pristine Wembley turf in their blue and white hooded tracksuits at the moment.
Let's hope the England mistakes tonight are confined to the matchday programme.
Kevin Davies has picked his perfect XI but Jack Wilshere and Glen Johnson find their names slightly, ahem, altered.
Andros Townsend does indeed start tonight in an attacking formation put together by Roy Hodgson. Townsend and Danny Welbeck will be on the flanks with Daniel Sturridge and Wayne Rooney up top.
ENGLAND: 1 Hart; 2 Walker, 5 Cahill, 6 Jagielka, 3 Baines; 7 Townsend, 4 Gerrard, 8 Lampard, 11 Welbeck; 10 Rooney, 9 Sturridge.
Subs: 12 Smalling, 13 Ruddy, 14 Gibbs, 15 Jones, 16 Carrick, 17 Milner, 18 Barkley, 19 Wilshere, 20 Defoe, 21 Lambert, 22 Forster.
Can Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard play in a midfield two together?
That was the question which dominated English football throughout the 2000s and the answer looked to be a definitive 'no' after the Three Lions failed at World Cup 2006 and to qualify for Euro 2008.
But, with two of the greatest players of their generation now in their twilight years, their partnership is set to be rekindled tonight with Jack Wilshere and Michael Carrick missing out.
Here's a stat for you... of all 53 European countries taking part in the World Cup qualifiers England have the best goal difference.
With a difference of +22 in their favour England are one goal better off than Germany. Bosnia and Holland both sit on +20.
Neil Ashton's exclusive story this afternoon revealed that Tottenham winger Andros Townsend will start for England on the right flank tonight.
Townsend has shone in Spurs' side this season but, interestingly, he has not scored or created a goal yet in 2013-14.
To read the full story and to check out what we believe the line-up is just click on the link above.
Roy Hodgson in the programme, still defending the performance and the point in Ukraine last month.
'I was pleased with the resolve of the players in difficult circumstances. They came together as a group and were clear that control of this group would not leave our grasp on departure from Kiev.
'For me it was the key to come back to Wembley in charge, and we did that. Had Ukraine been triumphant we would find ourselves in the purgatory of following other scores and hoping for results in our favour, but thankfully that is not the case.'
Indeed, all true, as long as England win tonight. And on Tuesday.
There are 23 other World Cup qualifiers being played tonight and Dan Ripley is covering all the action live.
Belgium are 2-0 up in Croatia, Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan are currently goalless in Baku and Armenia have beaten Bulgaria.
Click on the link above to keep up with all the other qualifying action.
This. Is. It.
Two years of jostling for position in Group H and it's all boiled down to these final two games. Four teams are all still capable of qualifying automatically for the World Cup by finishing top of the table and leaders England welcome one of them, Montenegro, to Wembley tonight.
We have six reporters (yes, SIX) at Wembley tonight to bring you all the build-up, action and reaction as Roy Hodgson's Lions look for the three points they need to give them some much-needed breathing space heading into Tuesday night's clash with Poland.

Filmax files for credit protection
CEO says company affected by drop in local distributionMADRID -- Barcelona-based Filmax Entertainment filed for protection from creditors with a Barcelona court Tuesday, requesting four months to restructure its debt and avoid a formal suspension of payments.
"This is a precautionary measure so we can negotiate with banks and creditors without being attacked or embargoed," Filmax CEO Julio Fernandez told The Hollywood Reporter. "All of our responsibilities, everything, is up-to-date and we are business as usual."
Arguably Spain's most international player and certainly the flagship of the Catalan region's film industry, Filmax has created an international niche with genre titles like "REC" and "REC2." Such titles and their boxoffice success enabled the company to refinance its 100 million euro debt last April with 41 different financing institutions.
While Fernandez said the production, exhibition and international sales branches of the company performed well, he indicated a drop in local distribution as the primary problem.
"Local distribution is the difficult part," Fernandez said, pointing to Spain's rampant piracy as a key factor.
Television rights deals for non-Spanish fare have virtually dried up with Spanish broadcasters, as well.
Filmax, which boasts a catalogue of more than 2,000 titles, has invested some 500 million euros in Spanish distribution rights at a time when the Spanish market is declining.
Filmax's creditors -- with whom it will now have to renegotiate its debt -- include a few of its minority shareholders. Also a minority stake holder, the regional Catalan government's credit institute will probably not want to see one of the biggest companies in the region fail.

The mission of the APS Wellness Committee is to foster and support a district environment that promotes the total well being of students, families and staff.
Why Schools? Students spend the majority of their day in school, so there is great opportunity to provide education on the value of living a healthy lifestyle in a supportive and positive environment.
Connection to Learning: Healthier students. Health has a DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH LEARNING. Research has found that increased physical activity has shown improvements in test scores, focus, classroom behavior, and attendance, something educators have known instinctually for years
Our Approach: APS has a district-led wellness team to support school-wide, local, statewide and national school health initiatives. The district team also offers assistance to individual schools through school wellness teams. And this website has been created to provide resources in each of the areas of school wellness to students, families and staff using the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model (WSCC).
The APS District Health and Wellness Advisory Team invites any teacher, parent, student or community member to attend the monthly meetings. Please reach out to Erica Riedlin at 303-365-7813 ext. 28515 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out when then next meeting is!
The Whole Child Approach The Whole Child Approach is to move from a view of achievement based on academic success, but on the long-term development and overall growth. In order to accomplish this there are Whole Child beliefs that need to be addressed. (www.ascd.org/whole-child.aspx)
- Each student enters school healthy and learns about and practices a healthy lifestyle
- Each student learns in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for students and adults
- Each student is actively engaged in learning and is connected to the school and broader community
- Each student has access to personalized learning and is supported by qualified, caring adults
- Each student is challenged academically and prepared for success in college or further study and for employment and participation in a global environment

Jason Newsted Finally Explains Why He Left Metallica
"I've never told this story, I'm not sure if I should tell it now, actually," Newsted begins. "There was a lot leading up to it through time The very upside-down thing that I don't think anybody knows; the management of Metallica was very, very excited about Echobrain [one of Newsted's side projects], wanted to take it out for me, wanted me to do Echobrain also, with Metallica. They felt Echobrain was that good, the singer was that good, and it didn't affect Metallica because it was a totally different kind of thing, and I was in Metallica; that would give it it's pedigree already."
Newsted continues, "And so they had told me, pretty convincingly, 'This is a great record, we've been playing it around the office, that's all I've been hearing, it's fantastic, this kid has a great voice. Let's do something with this.' That's what they told me, and then James [Hetfield] heard about it and was not happy. He was, I think, pretty much out to put the kibosh on the whole thing because it would somehow affect Metallica in his eyes, because now the managers were interested in something I was doing that had nothing to do with him."
The bassist sums up the situation as follows: "I have no idea what [Hetfield] was thinking, other than just protecting what he valued, just like he does; that's his thing. He protects what he loves, squeezes it too hard, like he said himself. Squeeze it too hard, protecting it too much. That's where I was coming from. The people that I had counted on for 15 years to help me with my career, help Metallica, take care of my money, do all of those things, told me, 'Your new project is fantastic, we'd like to help you with it.' James heard about it, the manager calls me back a couple of days later 'Sorry we're not going to be able to help you with that Echobrain thing.'" Watch the video clip here.

5 Diet land mines you need to know about
It's important that you stay as conscious as possible about the choices that you are making.
Photo credit: Dee21/iStock/360/Getty Images
If you set a goal to lose weight, it's important that you stay as conscious as possible about the choices that you are making. In some cases, there are some significant mistakes that people make along the way that can completely erode the progress that they should be seeing.
If you can keep the following five diet land mines in check, you can make sure that your progress moves along as smoothly as possible.
If you don't however, you may be in for some problems ahead.
Failing to plan
The first and possibly biggest diet landmine that will set you back is failing to plan out your diet. The most important thing you must do is go into each day knowing what you will eat for each meal and what snack you will plan to have.
That way, you will reduce the chances that you fall off that diet plan and start to indulge in foods you shouldn't. If you leave a meal up to question, chances are the answer will not be a healthy one.
Starving early in the day
Another big mistake that far too many people make is starving themselves earlier in the day. They skip breakfast, eat a light salad at lunch and by the time they get home they are on an all-you-can-eat food buffet.
You need to maintain control over your appetite, and the best way to do this is by making sure you eat in regular intervals. That way, you will never get overly hungry and the desire to binge-eat will be a lot lower than it otherwise would be.
Using liquid meal replacements
The next big no-no on your diet plan is using liquid meal replacements. If you do this, you are setting yourself up for problems as well. The issue here is that these lack the dietary fiber you need to get a high level of sustenance from your meals; without that fiber, you'll be hungry a short while after.
Not to mention that liquid calories are rapidly-digesting while food calories take longer to break down, so that can also influence the level of hunger you experience.
If you are relying on meal replacement shakes, you'll be suffering from nutritional deficiencies before too long and you'll also be noticing you are ravenous all day long.
Following the same diet as everyone else
The next big no-no is following the same diet as your friends. Realize that each and every person is unique in what they should be eating and what their body responds best to.
Learn your body. Choose a plan that you enjoy. And then get ready for success.
If you hate your diet every second and are only doing it because your best friend lost 20 pounds, chances are you will not see the same results.
Adhering to a diet and enjoying it is the most important factor in weight-loss success.
Not staying accountable
Finally, the last major mistake people make is not holding themselves accountable. Be honest with yourself. If you aren't seeing results but you've been cheating left, right, and center, well, you know why.
Don't blame your genetics or any other reason. If the effort isn't there, then you have work to do on yourself and success is not going to come from just trying another approach.
You need to take responsibility for your success as well, otherwise you will be unlikely to see the long-term results that you desire.
So keep these points in mind as you go about your diet. Make sure that they aren't starting to influence your progression.

Rivers of Grass
The Rivers of Grass evoke a sense of intimacy for the visitor amongst the unrestricted flow of plant form and texture, developing within the garden throughout the year.
A naturalistic weave of grasses and punctuating herbaceous perennials, have been specifically selected to grow en masse. They are adapted to thrive in naturally challenging growing conditions.A first class example of man working with nature and not against it.
Two varieties of Molinia caerulea dominate the scheme. Both grasses provide texture and movement and most importantly thrive in the variable conditions of the area.
The ground here is usually damp, will occasionally flood, but may be on the drier side throughout the Summer. The grasses are interspersed with a narrow range of other perennials, giving the appearance of a watery meadow in late Spring, before the grasses dominate the scheme in the Summer, turn golden in Autumn and are cropped back in mid-January.

When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! — Jiminy Cricket
Do you have a Disney dilemma? Give us a little whistle and we'll help you sort it out. Questions should be sent to email@example.com. If your dilemma is trip-related, make sure to include when you will be traveling.
Q. We are going on the Disney Wonder to Alaska on June 14. I have been reading on blogs about Fish Extenders. They sound like fun! Do you know how to get on the "list" to do this? (Submitted by Lois B.)
A. Hi Lois!
Fish Extenders are a fun way to connect with other Disney fans. For those who don't know, on Disney Cruise Ships, there is a decorative fish outside each door that serves essentially as a glorified refrigerator magnet/clip. A Fish Extender is essentially a pocket organizer than hangs from the Fish. This pocket organizer can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be. (For example, some people have used things like mail organizers and others sew and create their own. You can even purchase pre-made ones off of places like Ebay.com and Etsy.com)
The purpose of a Fish Exender is that many people will join together who are sailing on the same cruise and play sort of a Secret Santa type game with other cruisers who are participating too. Those who are playing the game will leave a little gift in everyone's Fish Extender pouch. The gifts are generally inexpensive knick-knacks. They can be something related to the Cruise, Disney items, or items that relate back to where you call home. Many people also make homemade gifts that are really quite special. The sky is the limit, but it's always fun to come back to your room and see what people have left for you!
There really is no specific list to get on, as this is sort of an unofficial "game" played by the Disney online community. The best advice I have is to visit different online message boards and see if there's a list that's already been compiled for the dates of your trip.
I hope this helps and Bon Voyage!

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 25, 2017) -
Editors Note: There is an image associated with this press release.
Liquor Stores N.A. Ltd. (the "Company" or "Liquor Stores") (TSX:LIQ), North America's largest publicly traded liquor retailer, today issued a letter to Liquor Stores shareholders explaining how Toronto-based activist PointNorth Capital will destroy value at Liquor Stores. In the letter, Liquor Stores also outlines how PointNorth's nominees lack successful liquor retailing experience and are not really independent from PointNorth.
Vote the WHITE proxy for Liquor Stores' nominees
Liquor Stores urges shareholders to read its letter to shareholders and the accompanying financial model. Shareholders should also read the Management Information Circular. It highlights the value creation initiatives undertaken by Liquor Stores and its Board over the past few years. All documents are available on the Liquor Stores website at http://www.liquorstoresna.ca/investors.
Liquor Stores recommends that shareholders vote the WHITE proxy for the Board's eight experienced and qualified incumbent nominees.
Voting is a quick and simple process. Your WHITE proxy must be received well in advance of the proxy deadline of 10:00 a.m. (Mountain time) on June 16, 2017. Due to the limited time available, we recommend voting by internet, telephone or fax today or no later than 24 hours before the deadline. For Ease of voting visit our website www.liquorstoresna.ca/investors. Vote today.
The full text of the letter and accompanying appendix follows:
May 25, 2017
Dear shareholders,
The value of your investment is at risk and you have a very important decision to make.
Toronto-based activist PointNorth Capital, a 9.7% shareholder, is seeking to nominate 6 out of 8 Liquor Stores directors, and put in place a strategy that will destroy shareholder value.
That's what happened when PointNorth's key principals had control of SiriusXM, KEYreit, Priszm Income Fund and Mobilicity. And that's what we believe will happen at Liquor Stores unless shareholders vote the WHITE proxy to re-elect the current directors.
Liquor Stores is successfully executing a strategy designed to create sustainable, long-term value for all shareholders. Our plan is working. It is driving year over year growth in sales and improvements in gross margin and operating profit, plus strong returns from 46 store renovations. We have improved our profitability while also reducing our inventory levels.1
Our plan is making us a better retailer and has laid the groundwork to increase shareholder value. We know that there is more to be done and that recent times have been challenging for shareholders. We are being proactive and that includes a review of our U.S. business that will be completed in the fourth quarter of this year (see page four for further details).
We welcome new perspectives and fresh ideas. To this end, we have tried to understand PointNorth's "New Strategy" for Liquor Stores and find what's good in it. We have come to the conclusion that PointNorth's plan would damage our competitive position and cost our shareholders money.
Using conservative assumptions, we have calculated that by the time PointNorth has finished implementing its plan, it will have reduced operating profits by about $10 million annually which would wipe $2.65 off our share price. You can see for yourself how PointNorth's numbers don't add up in the Appendix at the end of the letter.
Surely, PointNorth doesn't want to destroy value, but that's what will happen if shareholders elect directors who don't have the knowledge or experience to properly oversee our business, and who appear to lack the independence to look after your best interests.
As we discuss in detail later in this letter, PointNorth's nominees have no successful experience in the competitive liquor retailing environment. They also lack meaningful expertise in the critical areas of commercial real estate, information technology and U.S. retail. They do not understand what drives our profitability, or what differentiates us in our key markets. They discount the impact of the economic downturn in Alberta and Alaska. They lack independence from PointNorth.
And perhaps most troubling of all, PointNorth has said publicly that the authors of the so-called "New Strategy," are two executives with poor track records whose only industry experience comes from time spent working for the government-owned Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC). This may explain the flaws in PointNorth's thinking. The NSLC is a single-jurisdiction government monopoly. Liquor Stores operates in six distinct and highly-competitive markets. The differences could not be more profound.
PointNorth's Plan is Dangerous
PointNorth's plan will alienate our customers and impair our ability to compete. Customers choose us because we sell the products they want at the right prices in good locations, because we offer high quality products they can't find elsewhere and because there is always a trained staff member ready to help.
PointNorth doesn't understand the problems it will create with its plan to:
PointNorth's actions will reduce our gross margin and operating profit. We have calculated that under PointNorth's plan there would be a $10 million decline in operating profit before amortization, or 25% less than we deliver today. See these numbers for yourself in the appendix to this letter.
We believe that PointNorth's destruction of value will occur because its flawed analysis discounts the value of the following strategies we use to drive profitability:
PointNorth doesn't understand the value of bridge-buying. This strategy enables us to routinely procure top selling spirits like Smirnoff Vodka, Crown Royal and popular wine brands such as Kim Crawford, Apothic and Barefoot at an average discount of approximately 10% off wholesale prices. As PointNorth points out, this strategy comes with financing and warehouse costs. Those costs, however, total about 1.5% of wholesale prices2. Put another way, we pay about $1.50 to increase profits by $10. We think that's a pretty good strategy, particularly effective against smaller and low cost competitors.
PointNorth's Plan would kill our Private Label business – a highly profitable strategy that differentiates us from our competitors. PointNorth would eliminate the highly-skilled team that runs this business from our U.S. regional office, and close the low-cost private warehouse we use to store this inventory. It is simply not possible to organize "just-in-time" private label deliveries to each store from, for example, a winery in France. Our private label program has also become a draw for customers who can't find these products anywhere else, and then also buy other merchandise in our stores.
PointNorth's $80 million inventory cut would drive customers to our competitors. Customers shop with us for our broad selection of high-quality products. PointNorth's plan would cut our inventory by 57% and focus on selling our top 300 items, completely missing the point that competitors focus on these top products too, typically as loss leaders. To achieve PointNorth's desired inventory cuts, we would significantly reduce our product assortment which would reduce our gross margin (we generate a significantly higher gross margin on items outside of the top 300). What's worse is that we would also lose the customers looking for products that they can't find elsewhere.
In addition to these profit eroding strategies, PointNorth's renovation rush will significantly dilute returns. Under the Company's current strategy, management has been able to generate average returns of 10 - 20% on the stores we renovate. We've achieved these returns by selecting stores for renovation in a very strategic manner, and by pacing the renovations to minimize disruptions to our customers and operations (and opportunities for disruptive marketing by our competitors). PointNorth wants to upend this successful strategy by charging ahead with renovations across our entire Canadian network at essentially the same time. We believe PointNorth's renovation strategy would drive away customers, especially when combined with their plans to reduce our product selection and cut staff.
PointNorth's recent comparison of Liquor Stores to government-owned BC Liquor is flawed. BC Liquor runs a discount pricing model, which generates lower gross margins at the expense of profitability. We outperform BC Liquor on the metric that matters – profitability. Consider this: BC Liquor makes $8 million, or 20%, less operating profit before amortization than we do despite having $572 million more in sales.3 Higher sales are the only reason certain BC Liquor metrics such as inventory turns and operating expenses as a percentage of sales look better than ours. Looking at these metrics in isolation without also considering profits is a critical flaw in PointNorth's plan.
PointNorth's Nominees Are Unqualified and Lack Independence from PointNorth
Overseeing the complexities of our business, especially during the current challenging economic downturn in our key Alberta market requires a Board with deep experience and the right qualifications. For Liquor Stores that means experience in competitive retail, experience in managing commercial real estate and implementing IT systems, experience in U.S. retail, among other things. It also means a Board that has perspective, judgment and sound business acumen.
The lack of U.S retail experience is troubling because PointNorth wants to reevaluate our U.S business (not a new idea, we do this as part of the normal course of business). However, PointNorth's nominees lack any U.S retail experience and are not equipped to lead a strategic review of our U.S operations. In sharp contrast, a veteran U.S. retailer is leading our current review of the U.S business, in conjunction with a third party financial advisor.
The incumbent Board has the right qualifications. To view how PointNorth's nominees simply do not measure up, please visit the following link:

PointNorth's nominees are tied to PointNorth and may not really be independent. PointNorth claims that its dissident nominees are independent, but 16 times in its circular, PointNorth states that "the renewed board will" take certain actions. By already agreeing to implement PointNorth's strategy, without so much as a conversation with any members of the incumbent Board or Management to better understand our business, these directors have agreed to act for PointNorth, and not for the Company and all shareholders.
Two of PointNorth's nominees are tied to PointNorth by what governance experts criticize as a "Golden Leash". Two of PointNorth's nominees, Ken Barbet and Rick Perkins, are slated to receive "Golden Leash" payments from PointNorth. These are payments from a shareholder to corporate directors based on that shareholder's profits over a very short time. (Specifically, the two Golden Leash nominees will receive their pay outs on or before November 15, 2018 or when PointNorth liquidates all of its Liquor Stores shares, whichever comes first.) That means these two individuals' personal financial interests are tied to what PointNorth stands to gain for itself in the very short term – and not to the interests of all shareholders, as should be the case.
Mr. Barnett has past business dealings with PointNorth's Bitove that are not disclosed. PointNorth's biography for Mr. Barnett fails to mention that Mr. Barnett and Mr. Bitove served together on the Board of failed Mobilicity. Why doesn't PointNorth want you to know about this relationship?
PointNorth is Already Selling Down its Stake in Liquor Stores. If PointNorth really believed its strategy would create value, why has it already sold approximately $700,000 of Liquor Stores shares? And why didn't they disclose those share sales in the proxy circular they sent to you?
Dissident nominees have little skin in the game. Each of the current board members has a personal holding of Liquor Stores shares and on average they hold or control 101,560 shares, with a current value of more than $1.1 million, apiece. Compare that with the dissident nominees. Four of them own no shares at all and on average they own 14,222 shares with a current value of less than $155,000, which hardly aligns their interests with shareholders.
Four of the six Dissident nominees have sobering track records
PointNorth provides glowing biographies of its dissident nominees. Our research tells a different story. Read on for a cautionary tale not just about the credibility of PointNorth's disclosure but also the business track record of some of its nominees.
PointNorth's Golden Leash nominee Ken Barbet destroyed value at Big Rock Brewery. Ken Barbet has just three years of public company experience. All of that was as President and CEO of Calgary-based Big Rock Brewery, where his track record speaks for itself. During his tenure, the stock price fell by 18.6%, amid plummeting net income, revenue and EBITDA. And this was when Alberta's economy was in high gear, with the price of oil soaring to US$115.26 per barrel when he left in March 2008.
Here's what one equity research analyst had to say about Barbet's performance at Big Rock:
Mr. Barbet didn't fare much better when he was free of competitive pressures at government-owned Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. (NSLC). During the 2002-2005 period that Mr. Barbet was in charge, NSLC increased sales by 18.2% but the actual volume of product sold only went up 7.6%, which begs the question of whether price increases drove a significant piece of the increase in revenue. Over the same period, store operating expenses went up 27.8%. Even PointNorth's exaggerated biography for Mr. Barbet can't disguise his history of poor performance4.
PointNorth's Golden Leash nominee Rick Perkins also had a questionable record at NSLC. Rick Perkins has no disclosed experience as a director of a public company. He did spend a decade at the NSLC, but a review of NSLC's annual reports indicates that most of its strategy was to increase expenses and prices.
As spokesman for NSLC, a provincial crown corporation, Mr. Perkins engaged in a heated public exchange with an important provincial politician, calling into question Mr. Perkins' judgment. Even worse, Mr. Perkins oversaw an IT system that lead to a damaging price blunder5 just two weeks after Mr. Perkins abruptly left NSLC. The latter is no small matter given PointNorth's desire to "accelerate" the implementation of a complex ERP system at Liquor Stores. Mr. Perkins appears to be the only PointNorth nominee with "IT experience".
We believe Mr. Perkins is unsuitable to serve on Liquor Stores' Board of Directors, or in any capacity. That's also why we turned him down twice when he asked Liquor Stores for a job. We urge Liquor Stores shareholders to do the same.
John Barnett gave away Molson's market share and was involved in a bankruptcy at Mosaic. John Barnett served as CEO of Molson Breweries from 1995 to 1998. That sounds impressive until you consider that in each fiscal year he was in charge, Molson lost meaningful market share and reported declines in operating profit. Mr. Barnett was on the Board of Directors of Mosaic Group Inc., a marketing outsourcing company, when it filed for bankruptcy in 2002. This dismal performance was omitted from PointNorth's biography, along with Mr. Barnett's Mobilicity board relationship with Mr. Bitove.
James Burns put his own beer company into receivership. As President and a director of Niagara's Best Beer, Mr. Burn's took his own microbrewery and restaurant into insolvency. Niagara's Best Beer was placed into receivership in October 2010.
In summary, we urge shareholders not to fall for PointNorth's flawed strategy, captive nominees and wishful thinking.
We urge you to protect your investment and support the Liquor Stores director nominees by voting FOR the Liquor Stores director nominees on the WHITE Proxy today.
Voting is a quick and simple process. Your WHITE proxy must be received well in advance of the proxy deadline of 10:00 a.m. (Mountain time) on June 16, 2017. Due to the limited time available, we recommend voting by internet, telephone or fax today or no later than 24 hours before the deadline. For ease of voting visit our website www.liquorstoresna.ca/investors
Your vote is extremely important regardless of the number of shares you hold. Please discard any proxy or related materials you may have received from PointNorth and vote using only the control number on the WHITE form of proxy.

Liquor Stores N.A. Ltd.
Appendix 1
Impact of PointNorth Strategy on Liquor Stores' Profitability and Value
The following analysis is illustrative and based on the implementation of PointNorth's strategy as publicly disclosed by PointNorth. The analysis however, does not reflect several additional risk factors in implementing PointNorth's strategy that could potentially further negatively impact Liquor Stores results, including:
Meeting Details
The record date for the Annual Meeting was the close of business on April 21, 2017 (the "Record Date"). All registered shareholders of record as at the Record Date are invited to attend the Meeting which is taking place at Meeting Place 1 at the Hyatt Place Edmonton-West located at 18004 100 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta, on Tuesday, June 20, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. (Edmonton time). Shareholders are advised to vote only the WHITE form of proxy today, or no later than 10:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) or Noon (Eastern Time) on Friday, June 16, 2017.

Some of the factors that could affect future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to: risks relating to government regulation and changes thereto (whether by court decisions, citizen referenda, or otherwise); competition; the state of the economy including general economic conditions in Canada (including Alberta) and the U.S.; the unpredictability and volatility of Liquor Stores' common share price; restrictions on potential growth; availability of sufficient financial resources to fund the Company's capital expenditures; changes in commodity tax rates and government mark‐ ups; risks relating to future acquisitions and development of new stores; the ability of management to execute the Company's business and strategic plans; Liquor Stores' ability to locate and secure acceptable store sites and to adapt to changing market conditions; poor weather conditions; dependence on key personnel; labour costs, shortages and labour relations including Liquor Stores' ability to hire and retain staff at current wage levels and the risk of possible future unionization; supply interruption or delays; dependence on suppliers; reliance on information and control systems; income tax changes; leverage and restrictive covenants in agreements relating to current and future indebtedness of Liquor Stores; and credit risks arising from operations.

The information contained in this press release, and as disclosed in other filings made by the Company with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, identifies additional factors that could affect the operating results and performance of Liquor Stores.

Adjusted operating profit before amortization represents the aggregate of gross margin and other income, less selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses, and adjusted for unusual, non-recurring or non-operating factors on both a consolidated and segmented basis. This financial measure is not recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Readers are cautioned that adjusted operating profit before amortization should not replace net earnings or loss (as determined in accordance with IFRS) as an indicator of the Company's performance, of its cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or as a measure of its liquidity and cash flows. The Company's method of calculating adjusted operating profit before amortization may differ from the methods used by other issuers and as such may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating profit before amortization provides for useful information to readers as it provides increased transparency and predictive value of our recurring financial results. Management also uses adjusted operating profit before amortization to set targets and assess performance of the Company. Please see "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the Company's most recently filed Management's Discussion & Analysis for a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit before amortization to operating profit before amortization.
1 We reduced our same store inventories by over $15 million from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. We did so in a measured way to free up capital without jeopardizing product selection and availability.
2 We typically bridge buy between 60-90 days worth of product. The costs represent 60-90 days of interest (approximately 1%) and our total costs of warehousing, shipping and handling product of about 0.50% of goods sold.
3 Operating profit before amortization has been calculated based on $1,390.0 million of sales to retail customers at a gross margin percentage of 17.2% generated by the BC Liquor Stores per Appendix A of the 2015/2016 BC Liquor Distribution Branch Annual Report. We have used the estimate of operating and administrative expenses as a % of sales of 15.4% from the PointNorth information circular, with a reduction of 0.5% of sales for amortization expense. This results in Operating Profit before Amortization of $32 million (or 2.3% of sales) for the BC Liquor Stores, compared to $40 million (or 4.9% of sales) for LIQ for the year-ended December 31, 2016.
4 PointNorth is trying to make up for Mr. Barbet's lack of leadership experience by exaggerating his time as CEO of NSLC, claiming he was CEO from 2002 - 2005. In fact, he was VP of Operations & Development in 2002 and was only appointed to President and CEO in 2004.
5 On April 2, 2013 NSLC admitted that 1,000 prices were increased two days before a scheduled price hike. This resulted in overcharging customers by nearly $30K. While this mistake may have not been overly costly to a monopoly government liquor store, this type of scandal would be detrimental to retaining Liquor Stores' customers and would damage our brand.

Actress Michelle Yeoh, best known for her roles in hits like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies", is foraying into Bollywood with an untitled project
The 54-year-old Chinese-Malaysian star, who calls herself a great fan of the Hindi film industry and actor Aamir Khan, said the movie will be an action drama with some dance thrown in.
"I'm planning to work in Bollywood and it's going to be an action film with obviously some dance because it is Bollywood," she said on the sidelines of Naropa festival here.
"It will be about a Chinese and Indian family. In reality, we are such close neighbours but we are culturally so different and through this film we want to show how we can get along," Yeoh said.
The actress did not reveal much about the film but said she would be working with an Indian actor.

BOSTON >> New Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving says he doesn't care if anyone took it personally that he left Cleveland, even Cavaliers star LeBron James.
Appearing Monday on ESPN's "First Take," Irving said he doesn't feel like he owed James an explanation for asking for a trade.
Asked if he let James know that he was seeking to leave, Irving said, "Why would I have to?"
Host Stephen A. Smith responded: "If you don't speak to somebody, they might take it personally. Do you care about that at all?"
"No," Irving said.
Irving was eventually sent to the Celtics for a package that included Isaiah Thomas and a first-round draft pick.
He says the move from the Eastern Conference champions wasn't about not wanting to win.

Curriculum Overview
Hatch End High School's ethos, We CARE drives our vision for curriculum provision and delivery.
We have an outstanding and diverse curriculum which aspires to respond to the local and national agenda both intelligently and creatively in order to ensure all our students receive a high quality learning experience at all times. All secondary schools' curriculums have undergone significant reforms which will affect your child at different stages of their school career.
Please refer to the Curriculum and Assessment Reform documents here which sum up key changes nationally and how they affect Hatch End High School.
Our conversion to academy status enabled us to ensure that the needs of our students drive our curriculum provision at all times. Whilst confirming our commitment to the broad and balanced principles of the national curriculum, we also celebrate and use our specialisms to drive excellence and innovation. The legal scope for our curriculum is set out as per the Funding Agreement available on our website.
We believe whole heartedly that in order to access a broad and balanced curriculum, all students need to be confident and proficient in the basic skills of Reading, Writing, Communication and Mathematics and these are given the highest priority at all times. We believe firmly that a student's progress is what ultimately leads to their achievement and that an enabling curriculum model is one that operates when possible with a "stage not age" approach.
Finally, we consider it critical that equal opportunities and fundamental British Values are promoted and realised at all levels of curriculum provision and that this is integral to outstanding practice. Whilst we provide extensive individual and small group withdrawal support where necessary (see below), our curriculum is one which celebrates inclusion at all times and we firmly believe that our diversity as a school ultimately enriches and enhances our curriculum for the benefit of all.
Beyond the formal curriculum
The school curriculum is not narrowly constrained within formal lessons but extends to a vast array of extra-curricular opportunities which we term "Enrichment". All students have access to and are actively encouraged to take part in an extensive programme, which seeks to extend their learning and widen their life experiences. We seek to use active partnerships to support learning wherever possible and encourage students to interact with speakers and visiting groups/industries/organisations to extend their communication skills and learning capacity. The school uses its Pupil Premium and other avenues of funding to ensure that all groups within the school are able to access these activities.
Work Related learning is any planned activity that uses the context of work to develop knowledge, skills and understanding useful in work. Through work related learning activities, the school seeks to develop the employability skills of young people, provide them with the opportunity to 'learn by doing', raise standards of achievement and encourage positive attitudes to lifelong learning. Opportunities will be provided both within our various curriculum areas and as planned activities within our enrichment programme. All students have the opportunity to take part in a formal work experience at the end of Year 10.
The school believes the physical environment should reflect the diversity of our student body and curriculum. We use displays to enhance our formal study and celebrate excellent student work. Displays will be updated on a regular basis.

I have an antidote for this poisonous speculation.
And so the media circus has once again rolled into town with the recycled stories about the Spurs' prized left-winger Gareth Bale being courted by other top European clubs. Coincidentally, these repetitive stories resurfaced a day after the Spurs narrowly missed out on Champions League football and a league finish above Arsenal. It's almost as if these news providers want him to join Real Madrid just for the thrill of being able to say they "told me so" or are "bringing me an exclusive."
I have made myself numb to this and have not fallen for it this time. I can categorically give you an exclusive—Bale will remain a Spurs player next season. I shall enlighten you as to why:
British Telecom, a phone, internet and television service in the UK, recently commissioned their very own sports channel—BT Sport—where they will be broadcasting a load of live Premier League games in the 2013/14 season, their first ever year. Gareth Bale "signed up" to them as an "ambassador" in a bid to pull in more viewers to watch him as well as other top footballers playing in arguably the best league in the world.
Now, if he went to Real Madrid, or any other foreign club, he wouldn't be on BT Sport in these live Premier League games, rendering his contract to the sports channel pointless and quite expensive to release him from. Real Madrid would need to run a gauntlet of the toughest of negotiators in Daniel Levy and then BT Sport themselves if they wanted to buy him. Why would BT Sport give up their own "signing of the season" which was going to pull in the viewers? It wouldn't be economically viable for them. It would be a major letdown for anyone hoping to watch the Welshman at the top of his form in that league.
As for Bale himself, the contract with BT Sport is basically money for nothing. All he has to do is turn up and play whenever the Spurs are featured on the new channel. I'm not too sure if he'll be partaking in punditry for them on the side, though!
Third-party interest is rumoured to be what kept Moutinho from leaving Porto for Tottenham last season (although he has since signed for AS Monaco). For once, third-party interest in Bale has benefited Tottenham, as far as reasoning for him to stay is concerned. BT Sport would have something to say about Real Madrid nicking their secret weapon of revenue, let alone Tottenham fans.
Anything above £60 million is a large sum for Madrid, but with all things considered, Madrid should juts drop it and move on. It's all to one-way with this supposed 'special relationship' with Madrid. They have never willingly offered us any players but then when they decide to poach our top players, we bend over and even help to pull down our trousers and undies for it. That is a special relationship indeed…!
Bale not for sale. Deal with it Pellegrini. Unless you want to offer US a player for once. £60m plus Benzema or £60m plus Higuain….yeh didn't think so. Go chase after Suarez. At least he actually has expressed a true inclination to leave his club.
11 Responses to "Antedote time! Bale NOT for sale!"
Whats Pelligrini got to do with it?
If Levy wants to make Spurs a contender for the league he needs to spend 60 mill at least and keep Bale.
Top 3 teams have new managers… This is the time to step forward not back!
The stadium is massive issue…. Sours make 3 times less per game compared to Arsenal.
Where is the Stadium big sponsorship deal? All gone v. Quiet at Spurs HQ
Does Levy have good enough people around him in the boardroom to drive Spurs forward off the pitch?
We are at a crossroads.
To keep bale for any length of time after this season. We need to other him cl. To get cl we have to make quality signings or we will lose bale and possibly avb in the long term.
Getting the new stadium and being mid table would not be good and a wasted opportunity.
This summer is critical. Daniel levy needs to commit. If it doesnt work out the sale of bale would cover any debt incurred.
Bale won't leave Spurs because he doesn't want to and because he is tied to a contract which has three years remaining, meaning Levy could and would veto the move. The BT deal is a strong indicator that Bale has no intention of leaving the Premiership, but would not be a legal obstacle to his doing so. The idea that Real Madrid would have to negotiate with a player's sponsors is nonsense as is the idea that BT could insert a clause in a sponsorship deal prohibiting a player from moving to any other club.
The issue with Moutinho was third party ownership, nothing to do with his sponsors.
Bale has not left. Bale is not leaving this transfer window. So how about talking about something else. Or are you peoples looking for something to make you miserable.
Bale may or may not leave this season but he will leave, the money will probably be used to fund the new ground as this is the only way we can pay bigger wages and attract the players needed to strengthen the team, take us on the next level and leave us not so reliant on one player. His play and ability to score goals that he shouldn't be allowed to do will obviously be missed, but as a team if the money that we have got and part of the Bale money is spent wisely we can move on. I hope D. Levy can get an option of first refusal if Bale wants to move from RM.
This whole situation will be decided by MONEY. Nothing else. Whatever ENIC decide is the best financial option for the club will rule the day. Spurs are an ENIC business venture, as long as it continues to show a profit they will be happy. Winning trophies is OK as long as they don't cost too much. After watching DL for the past 10/12 years I don't expect to see any change in the clubs business philosophy. I still expect to see GB go if the price is right. How much of that money will be used to build a team of contenders is any bodys guess.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Shah Rukh Khan never shied away from his admiration and respect for the thespian actor Dilip Kumar. Yet another testimony to this was seen at the Osian's auction of rare and vintage film memorabilia. Shah Rukh Khan went on to purchase two magnificent original posters of the iconic film Mughal-E-Azam for Rs 6.84 lakh.
The other paintings which commanded high prices included Arpana Caur's 'Shri 420' (which fetched the highest price of Rs 7.5 lakh), an original hand-painted hard board standee of Yahudi with Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari (for Rs. 4.8 lakh), the Ganga Jumna artwork which was signed and inscribed by Dilip Kumar in 1962 (for Rs. 2.16 lakh), a six-sheet poster of Mother India (for Rs 2.52 lakh) and many others.
Speaking about the prestigious auction, Neville Tuli (Chairman- Osian's Group) said that it was very good to see the film fraternity finally taking a huge interest and responsibility in helping to preserve this fragile heritage.

Sen. Rand Paul is separating himself from other possible 2016 presidential contenders, signaling tacit support for President Barack Obama's move to begin normalizing relations with Cuba.
"In the end, I think opening up Cuba is probably a good idea," Paul told Tom Roten on News Talk 800 WVHU in Huntington, West Virginia, the Associated Press reports.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), three potential 2016 candidates for the Republican nomination, have all been outspoken in their opposition to the president's Wednesday announcement.
Paul, however, sounded a different tone.
"The 50-year embargo just hasn't worked," he said. "If the goal is regime change, it sure doesn't seem to be working and probably it punishes the people more than the regime because the regime can blame the embargo for hardship."
Wednesday, in conjunction with the release of American aid worker Alan Gross and an unnamed spy for three Cuban spies, President Obama announced moves toward normalizing relations with Cuba.

Not a good day!
I hope you had a much better day than I did yesterday! I count my blessings that it's not often I have days like that and when I do, it serves to remind me that I do have a lot to count my blessings for.
There were a lot of things that went wrong which, on their own, were pretty minor but there was just one after the other. The most frustrating point was when I had a telephone call from my credit card company telling me they had blocked my card because of suspicious transactions!
It's great that credit card companies are on the ball but when these transactions are me trying to pay Stampin' Up! for an order, it adds to the frustration.
The story in a nutshell is that my credit card is due to expire at the end of March and I do have my new one. As I hadn't updated the new details on my SU profile, I tried using the older one - it was still in date! The system didn't like it.
I tried updating my profile - the system still didn't like it! I made a third attempt - the system didn't like that either!
Then I received the phone call! Security had seen my three attempts and also a much larger payment going out about twenty minutes earlier - so they blocked that, too!
My account was unblocked and I was able to pay SU without problems. I investigated the large payment that had been blocked and that was my three year subscription for my website hosting and ancillary support! I had to get in touch with them and pay for my subscription.
Another big frustration yesterday was trying to upload today's video onto YouTube! I succeeded in the end but not before I started pulling my hair out! Being one of life's optimists, I know today is going to be a good day!
This morning, I successfully published my video called Embossed Circle of Spring. It shows how I made the Soft Sky card I posted here last Thursday, 25th February 2016. In the video I changed the colour and used Mint Macaroon.
Because I needed to prepare the painted image ahead of time, I was able to make two Mint Macaroon cards, so I used Rhinestones on one and Pearls on the other - I used Rhinestones on the original card.
I changed the butterfly stamps from the flowery ones to the ones that have a solid line around the outside. I also changed the Petite Petals flower from the small dotty one to the one that has straight lines and has a coordinating stamp in the Flower Shop Stamp Set - I'm not sure I've explained that very well!!
On the original card I used Blushing Bride for the pink flowers but changed to Pink Pirouette and I also changed the sentiment.
On the original card I used Happy Birthday from the You're So Lovely Stamp Set but on the new one I used They Say It's Your Birthday which is from the Suite Sayings Stamp Set.
The little hearts I added to the sentiment (off camera) are leftovers from some hearts I punched in the five new In-Colours that came in June last year - Cucumber Crush, Delightfully Dijon, Mint Macaroon, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder.
Once I'd punched several out in each colour, I covered them in Crystal Effects and left them to dry overnight.
Initially I made them for a video I made - Glazed Hearts - but I decided to make several in each colour so they were ready as and when I wanted them!
I've posted photographs of all three cards today so you can see what subtle changes I made.
I'm going to be working in overdrive today, to make up for yesterday! LOL! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Oh my dear Jan, you did have a day indeed! Sounds like the stuff of nightmares! I'm about to watch your tutorial video next, but just wanted to say first, this has simply GOT TO BE a better day today! And in reality, it probably will be just fine. Even optimists occasionally have "bumpy" days ... have a wonderful, happy crafting day today!! I'm sending hugs too!ReplyDeleteReplies
Many thanks, Geraldine. Of course you're right........today has been a much better day! I've nearly finished working through my to do the list - should all be completed by the end of the day on Friday! YAY! Many thanks for the hugs, they were very welcome. Happy crafting! ☺ JanB.Delete
Hi Jan,ReplyDelete
I'm just getting a chuckle out of your very frustrating day, it's funny I had the same things happening to me, but not as drastic as yours (no credit card problems)LOL. Also, very beautiful card, I'm going to give it ago when I come back from my walk...AnnReplies
Hi, Ann. That's all you can do really isn't it? Have a little chuckle and not take our ups and downs too seriously. A couple of hours in the studio soon puts things in a better light! LOL! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.Delete

It's time for the Environmental Protection Commission to do their job
They dump it. You drink it. We won't stop 'til they clean it up!
That's why we're going to the next Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) meeting October 17. Can you join us?
Last month, the EPC — the DNR's oversight panel — failed Iowans.
Instead of making common sense revisions to factory farm rules, they passed the buck to the legislature. Instead of using their authority, they shirked their responsibility to provide meangingful protections from Iowa's out-of-control factory farm industry.
While the EPC ignored thousands of Iowans on our call to strengthen the Master Matrix — a tool used in the factory farm application process — they did agree to do one thing:
The commission does acknowledge that the current master matrix has been the subject of recent public attention and intends to review the current criteria with stakeholders to determine if any changes are needed.
That's not enough, but we're going to hold them to it.
We want to know: When will the commissioners review the Master Matrix? Which stakeholders will they meet with? By what time will they do this?
That's why we'll be at the next EPC meeting — to put their feet to the fire to ensure they actually follow through with their promises. Can you join us?
What: Environmental Protection Commission Meeting
When: Tuesday, October 17 at 9:30 AM
Where: Terrace Hills Golf Course, 8700 NE 46th Ave, Altoona, IA (map)

MaxMini Release Cpt. Roohaz and His Men Into the Jungle
March 20, 2014 by dracs
If you cast your mind back a few days you may remember MaxMini showing off a heavily muscled jungle fighter wielding a heavy machine gun. Well that jungle fighter has arrived, along with the rest of his platoon.
Any troop of jungle based soldiers tends to draw upon some classic 80s sci-fi movie, one in particular, but these guys really do look like they just stepped out of an action movie.
Each of the miniatures has been sculpted with a great deal of individual character conveyed through stance and clothing. You look at them and you find yourself mentally assigning them personalities. This is a great sign as it means MaxMini have avoided their minis looking like another collection of faceless, muscle-bound goons.
Will you send this uni out into the dangerous depths of the jungle?
