This is so cool -- I swear we took almost the same path. We stayed in Motueka, took the same water taxi, did a hike from Torrent Bay and checked out the Pancake Rocks. Reading your blog is like a (much funnier) trip down memory lane! :) Hope you are planning to hike the FJ Glacier!! Be safe and have fun...there's no place on earth like NZ, imho. xo HP

Where I stayed
Nelson City Holiday Park
October 28 - Day 11
After all the morning excitement (me heroically climbing he fence and fetching the rogue towel), we checked out of our parking lot in Wellington and drove down to the ferry terminal to board the 3-hour ride to the South Island. Aside from a group of bikers with tattoos all over their bodies and faces sitting next to us for the first half-hour of the trip, (I really wanted to take a picture but thought that I shouldn't test Joe's manliness twice in one morning as he inevitably would've had to defend me against the rough biker guys post picture taking!) it was otherwise uneventful. As we got closer though, we passed a bunch of islands called the Marlborough Sounds which were pretty awesome to see, so we braved the wind & cold and went onto the outside deck for a while.
Tonight we'll be staying in Nelson, a quaint, laid-back, hippie-ish town set in the middle of Marlborough wine country....mostly Sauvignon Blanc. The drive there was pretty awesome....passing by vineyard after vineyard on brilliant green, rolling hils with mountain backdrops.
By the time we got to Nelson that evening, we were tired, hungry, and trying to figure out why our van smelled like a small animal had died in it. Thankfully for all you animal-lovers out there, that was not the case, but we did locate the problem - a disgustingly mouldy water reservoir - and Jill cleaned it while I did something incredibly useful (I'm sure) that I can't seem to remember. After dinner and chatting with some British travellers we met in the kitchen, we called it a night.
October 29 - Day 12
After breakfast this morning, Jill was startled by the sounds coming from a house right above our camp site (note: campsites here can be set right near towns and not in the back of beyond like in North America). Some dude was apparently completely losing it with is girlfriend or wife. He was yelling at the top of his lungs - a string of obscenities and nasty, hateful name-calling that would make any sailor blush. We were both frozen, listening partly with morbid curiosity and partly to detect whether it was going to get physical and if we needed to do someting about it. By the time we were ready to get going for the day, the screaming hadn't stopped (about an hour at this point), so we decided to advise the lady at reception. Her reply: "Oh is he at it again?!? I'll give him a call and tell him to settle down. He acts up now and then but is just talking to himself. I'll tell him to quiet down or else warn him that I'll call the police again." We walked out of the office looking at each other, as she seemingly called the guy from memory....are you serious? She knows the number! Anyway, we were glad that nobody was getting verbally abused, but maybe slightly disturbed that a crazy man was living in a house overlooking our campsite. (Side note: Later on that day when we returned, the lady told us that she spoke to him and that he was just "yelling at his computer". Hard to believe that he would yell at it for an hour straight at the top of his lungs, but whatever....we got a good laugh out of it.)
We got to see and speak to our parents on skype today. My Dad's birthday is on the 28th, which is the 29th here (17 hours ahead believe it or not), so we called them at my sister's house right after they enjoyed LobsterFest 2010. Was great to see everyone and happy birthday Dad! I left Jill a solid 4 minutes of internet time to speak to her Mom. What a swell guy I am.
Rest of day was spent just exploring the town - checking out the cathedral, parks, squares, cafes, and then hitting the grocery store for our dinner. BBQ lamb chops, grilled veggies and potatoes...not a bad campsite meal, huh? This would be another example of how we're just fake backpackers. Oh...and we also worked out before dinner...not backpacker-like whatsoever.
October 30 - Day 13
Scraped ourselves out of our luxurious double bed in the van in time to check out Nelson's Saturday morning market. Lots of cool stuff here, including fresh NZ produce and arts and crafty stuff. (I Loooove the markets. Reminds me of Saturdays on Whyte Ave back home!) Jill found a cool ring made out of recycled china while I fuelled up on caffeine. Rest of day was pretty chilled out and uneventful, though we did sit in a park for about an hour watching a couple of cricket matches...weird game...pretty boring actually, but it was a nice day and what else do we have to do really? And it was nice just to sit back and relax for a bit.
After hanging out at the camp site and procrastinating on our plans to go out that night, we finally cleaned ourselves up and headed out around 9:30...both pretty starved as we hadn't eaten dinner yet. There was a big rugby match on tonight between the All Blacks (NZ) and The Wallabies (Australia), so we thought it would be cool to watch it. We figured it would be on everywhere but the first couple of places we checked out were barely showing it - maybe on a small corner TV with no volume. In one place we almost walked through the side door right onto the stage where an older guitar duo was playing classic rock covers - had we actually made it onto the sparsely-filled dancefloor, we would have actually felt like young whippersnappers in that crowd.
We finally spot a sports bar that looks pretty hopping, as deduced by the 3 bouncers out front. We walk into the crowded pub to witness the game being projected onto THE largest screen that we've EVER seen in a bar. Cool! We're also advised that the kitchen is now closed. NOT so cool. Oh well....liquid dinner it is then! I snake my way through the crowd to the bar to get us some drinks. I'm honestly not gone more than 5 minutes when I return to find some drunk guy hitting on Jill....wow, kiwis work fast! (OR I look extremely good in leggings and sneakers! Yep, somewhat of a limited wardrobe!) We soon became "friends" as he explained to us the history and intricacies of rugby (along with various other topics) and then his expected drinks bill doubled as he bought both Jill and myself a NZ staple drink - Jim Beam and L&P (L&P is a NZ-made soft drink - now owned by big, bad, Coca-Cola)...wasn't too bad actually! Anyway, the night ended disappointingly for the crowd (including our inebriated kiwi friend) as the Aussies scored a try with about a minute left in the match to steal it from the All Blacks. We finished up our drinks and took off around midnight - gotta get up early tomorrow for a big hike.
October 31 - Day 14 - Abel Tasman
Leaving Nelson today and up early to drive out to Abel Tasman National Park for a day of hiking - supposed to have some of the best hiking trails in the country. The route we chose involved us taking a water taxi to a beach called Tonga and then hiking the 4-hour trail to another beach called Torrent Bay where we'd be picked up by water taxi again. The whole water taxi system was pretty cool....we boarded the boat at the company's office and then were towed to the beach via tractor, right into the water.
The boat ride out was extremely choppy. I was giggling and laughing throughout the trip as the boat dipped, dropped and thumped through the waves. It was great, and reminded me of an amusment ride! The funniest part to me, was noticing a set of 3 year old twins that slept peacefully in the arms of their white knuckled parents the entire time!
On the way to Tonga by water taxi, we stopped off at a seal colony to watch the fat little guys sunning themselves on the rocks and taking the occassional swim. The hike itself was really nice - lots of great look-out points, waterfalls, beaches, freaky trees, streams, and of course, the obligatory swing bridge. Jill had a good laugh as I scurried across it, muttering bad words to myself.
We camped in a town called Motueka and were starved by the time we checked in. There was a spa pool at the campsite though, so we figured it would be great to soak our muscles in it before getting some grub, despite my hunger-induced grumpiness. Grumpiness = understatement of the year! I'll take it from here... Walking back from the spa pool, as we came within view of our van both Joe and I stopped in our tracks. "Are you kidding me?!" In this huge vacant campground with open grass everywhere, a tent had set up 4 feet away from our little van. And the kicker, was that the couple had set it up closer to our vehicle than their own! Totally NOT Cool! Joe was just relieved that I agreed with him, and that it wasn't just another thing that was annoying him just because he was starving. As Joe and I continued to the van we felt as though our distaste for their tent placement was well communicated with a swift relocation of our little house on wheels.
After showers, we walked into town and had dinner at a place called Hot Mama's Cafe - build your own burger....yum. The place was near-empty, but there was a crazy customer originally from Sherbrooke, Quebec at the bar who chatted with us throughout our dinner. She gave helicopter tours in NZ for a living and also initially introduced herself as an alcoholic and child-molester. We laughed awkwardly and later found out that the latter description was in reference to the age gap in her current "relationship" rather than anything more serious. The former description appeared to be pretty accurate.
Happy with our meals and wine at Hot Mama's, we walked back to our campsite and into our awaiting van. Tomorrow we're on the road again heading to the Franz Josef and Fox Glaiciers...should be a good time! Bye for now...

GP Week : Issue 2
between the roads in the north and the south, though the roads round Cork are faster than usual. What is the commercial basis of your rallying in Ireland. Is it Pirelli? In fact our main backing comes from a consortium of people who are involved with the Global Group of foreign property developers. They sponsor the Irish Tarmac series itself and use rallying as a promotional exercise. There are four other drivers involved in this scheme as well. Won't you miss the outside world this year? I would like to do some rallies outside the British Isles again, especially the PCWRC rounds in the world championship like I did over the past four years. This year I am finding it harder to put a programme together than I can ever remember. I do not think I am alone in that. What special memories do you have of the Production Car championship last year? It was up and down. A bad time in Sweden, winning the category in Mexico was great, then the punctures in Ireland. The best thing about it all was that we were competitive on every event we did. We got plenty of fastest Group N times, and of course I was very disappointed with throwing it all away at the end of the season when I broke my shoulder. You are now 36 years old. What are your ambitions for the future? (Laughs) Make some money out of rallying! Maybe I have got to find a real job in my life and go rallying as a hobby. I would really like to get involved in a Super 2000 team. I think I have a lot got to offer in that. Obviously I would love to have a crack at a programme with a full works team but there are not many of those these days. Maybe I will have a bit more time to help at our Rally School. And your brother David? He is working very well with his team this year which is sponsored by a training company. How he became involved with them is an incredible story on its own. When David had to withdraw from the PCWRC in 2006 he had pay the FIA a fine and also pay the entry fees for each of the events he missed, a total of some £25,000, a ridiculous amount . Finally he ended up being unusually grateful to the FIA – a guy phone him up saying he would sort out the fine if he could sponsor David in future! That is how the TQ.com team started! Your associations with Pirelli seem to be working well. Yes, and I must say the way that Pirelli are working with the world championship also seems to be going well. I think they are doing a very good job with their control tyre work. With so many rallies already having all different surfaces, their service has been going exceptionally well, especially when you remember that mousse inserts are not allowed any more on World Rally Cars. The only punctures that have happened have come about through drivers hitting things. I have not heard one complaint from drivers about Pirelli's control tyres this year. I am very impressed. 39 RALLY CHAT >> British in an Irish World

"There is space within sisterhood for likeness and difference, for the subtle differences that challenge and delight; there is space for disappointment-and surprise"
Christine Downing
"I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come."
Maya Angelou
"What makes us all equal are the teachings of Christ."
Cristabel Michaels
"always know that your sister or your brother will be your best friend forever they love you,care about you and will always be beside you whenever...."
Hagar Ibrahim
"If the red slayer thinks he slays, / Or if the slain think he is slain, / They know not well the subtle ways / I keep, and pass, and turn again."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack."
Winston Churchill
"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate."

There are a wide variety of schooling options that every parent needs to be aware of. They can pick from the current crop of public schools in their geographic region, or choose to send their children to a private academy. These private educational institutions may be based on a particular faith, style of teaching or field of interest. For those parents who believe that they can better educate their youngster at home, there are additionally school programs that students can access online.
In each of these instances, parents and guardians must do extensive k-12 market research. The decisions they make will ultimately affect their children's education for years to come. In fact, many educational experts feel that a primary education impacts one's life, even more than a college degree. It is how students learn basic skills like reading, writing and mathematics. It is also the time when students form their initial academic and social relationships.
How families obtain this information online should be a prime concern for every school. School systems must market their individual educational offerings to appeal to their chosen audience. This could be the general public, students from a certain locale or a smaller audience made up of a cultural or religious group. To serve this mission, education marketing has become such an important aspect of both private and public school systems.
To achieve these goals, it is to every school's advantage to work with a marketing group that is adept in planning advertising, promotions and public relations specifically for schools. They have the expertise to put a number of strategies in place that will not only entice future students, but bring forth the best of faculty and staff members. Their team members are able to sit down with school administrators and work on events that bring together students, parents and teachers.
Marketing professionals understand how to put in place a number of innovative creative services that will explore their teaching methods in detail. For more information and to receive a no-obligation consultation for your own school, visit the web pages of marketing works. The team at Marketing Works enjoys speaking with school administrators and presenting them with current examples of their work.

Justin Timberlake and Beyonce CD Reviews
These pop pros both went solo a long time ago and have managed to make it a success. Check out the sophomore albums from two of the biggest names in the business!
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Justin Timberlake is back after a strangely long absence from recording. His sophomore solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, was produced by music mogul Timbaland - who has produced tracks for Missy Elliott, The Pussycat Dolls, Nelly Furtado, Ludacris and a ton of other huge names. My Love and All Over Again are slick, catchy tunes. However, most of the tracks sound like the awkward musings of a kid who can't pluck up the courage to talk to his crush. Justin's not ready to bring SexyBack from anywhere. He should have left it where he found it.Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds Fun Facts
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds Hot Tracks
SexyBack; My Love; (Another Song) All Over AgainJustin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds Rating:
Beyonce - B'Day
Beyonce shows Justin what a second album should sound like with B'Day. Confident, sexy, rocking - just try to resist the charms of the album that dropped on Beyonce's 25th birthday. Like a good B'Day party, this album draws you in, shakes you up, and sends you home wanting more. From retro throwbacks to fierce club tracks - this album has it all. Some might say that Beyonce has got too full of herself on this album but we say the girl knows how to throw a party.Beyonce - B'Day Fun Facts

Good day, I'd like to work in the IT field but have big problems with my math skills. Always been bad at math and had problems keeping up with the rest of the class.
I know this is not something I can improve by training because I have already tried so many times and failed (still failing). But I guess I'm not bright enough.
Looking for a career as a network technician or perhaps in 2nd line support.
All tips are appreciated and please post if I should consider another career instead of IT because of my limited math skills.

PHILOSOPHYAdams feels that a designer is an imaginist - one who can help clients go beyond their concept to an even grander solution; a solution that, while not evident at first, will become obvious when discovered. Good design is self-evident; but only obvious in hindsight. The designer must interpret the client's innermost feelings of image as perceived by others, whether the client is individual or corporate. Adams guides a project from inception through construction with confidence and authority, making the process one to look back on with pleasure. BACKGROUNDJack Adams, ASID, has a distinguished career in interior design. The recipient of many design awards, he is listed in Who's Who, Who's Who in Interior Design and Interior Design Magazine's annual list of the top 100 designers in the United States.

Staying with a friend in Oxfordshire, Nigel Strangeways pays a visit to Robert Seaton, a distinguished British poet whom Nigel greatly admires but whose reputation has been on the decline of late. Seaton proves to be an irascible, temperamental man, and his unconventional household, featuring a resentful daughter and mute dwarf servant, simmers with tension. When a headless corpse is found floating in the river by the Seaton's house just a few weeks later, the poet becomes the prime suspect. But whose body is it?
Nicholas Blake was the pseudonym of Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis, who was born in County Laois, Ireland in 1904. After his mother died in 1906, he was brought up in London by his father, spending summer holidays with relatives in Wexford. He was educated at Sherborne School and Wadham College, Oxford, from which he graduated in 1927. Blake initially worked as a teacher to supplement his income from his poetry writing and he published his first Nigel Strangeways novel, A Question of Proof, in 1935. Blake went on to write a further 19 crime novels, all but four of which featured Nigel Strangeways, as well as numerous poetry collections and translations.
During the Second World War he worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information, which he used as the basis for the Ministry of Morale in Minute for Murder, and after the war he joined the publishers Chatto & Windus as an editor and director. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968 and died in 1972 at the home of his friend, the writer Kingsley Amis.

"Another grade A detective story" (New York Herald Tribune)
"His plots are ingenious" (Times Literary Supplement)
"A master of detective fiction" (Daily Telegraph)

The demolition derby aspect of the Vendée Globe round the world race continued to dominate coverage on Sunday as the fifth of the 20 starters limped off the racecourse and a sixth sought to fix a problem which could also force him to retire.
The 24,400-mile race is only a week old as Jérémie Beyou heads for the Cape Verde Islands to fix what sounds like a major hydraulics problem controlling the keel of his Open 60 Maitre Coq.
It will not be easy, his boat is also taking water, and the race rules forbid any outside assistance. At the same time Poland's Zbigniew Gutkowski was seeking shelter to free a sail wrapped around the top of the mast of Energa.
More difficult may be the problem of fixing the cause. His self-steering mechanism is faulty and he may not wish to take on the Southern Ocean, though he is a long way from taking that decision without a fully functional autopilot. "Going into the Southern Ocean without an autopilot is a completely stupid idea," said Gutkowski.
Beyou has not given up hope and if he can centre and securely fix the keel and "there's a tiny little chance to go on, we'll stay in the race."
Explaining why the IMOCA 60-foot boats used in the race are so much more prone to keel and keel hydraulics problems than the Volvo Open 70s, British designer Merfyn Owen explained that the Open 60 keels were all designed individually for each boat whereas there has been a much tougher design rule for the Volvo boats – and next time round starting 2014 they will all be exactly the same. "The Volvo boats have much more of a belt and braces approach," he said.
Less easy to understand is the amount of time being taken by the jury which deliberates on any rule infringements in the VG. Monday sees seven days since two protests against a total of nine boats for infringing traffic separation lanes around Cape Finisterre, including one against Britain's Mike Golding.
Nor has there been any clear explanation about the reason for such a lengthy delay either from the jury, headed by France's Bernard Bonneau, or the race committee, headed by Denis Horeau and which itself submitted a protest against eight competitors.

As the company announced a sharp fall in annual profits to pounds 85m caused by heavy exceptional charges and lower profits at it football pools business, Littlewoods issued a statement after a meeting of the family shareholders at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
It said shareholders, at a routine "forum" meeting, reaffirmed their complete confidence in the chairman and the board of the company.
Earlier, Mr Ross had defended his decision to ignore a bid backed by CVC Capital Partners and led by former management at Bhs. He said the bid was not worth the pounds 540m claimed and that the offer would not have yielded sufficient benefit to shareholders.
"The offer was one of several alternatives looked at. We negotiated fully with them but the deal did not provide anything like the benefits of the other options.
"No board of either a private or a quoted company... goes with all the details of every offer that is made to shareholders and says `please tell me what to do'."
He said all the family shareholders had signed a shareholder charter last April that separated shareholder and board responsibilities. But he said "you might expect there to be a difference of opinion" in such a large group.
Mr Ross said the deal to sell 19 stores to Marks & Spencer for pounds 192.5m last week represented the best method of creating value for shareholders. However, it is understood that the CVC consortium would have been prepared to increase the cash element of its offer if it had been approached.
Littlewoods results for the 12 months to 30 April showed that though trading profits were 34 per cent higher at pounds 105m, the figures were hit by a pounds 19m charge for pulling out of international retailing.
Home shopping was the star performer with profits up from pounds 37m to pounds 58m. Stores profits were 10 per cent higher at pounds 35.4. Leisure profits were affected by the launch of the mid-week National Lottery and fell pounds 2m to pounds 22m.
In current trading like-for-like sales at the high street stores business are down 13 per cent. Group sales were flat at pounds 2.3bn.

Amidst child sex scandal, Habbo "mutes" its entire site while it investigates its users' behavior
- 31
As we reported earlier, teen social site Habbo is attempting to handle some very delicate, and serious, issues right now.
Channel 4 issued a statement earlier on an expose that it was planning to broadcast:
A Channel 4 News investigation has uncovered shocking lapses in the moderation of a hugely popular online game used by young teenagers, including interactions of an explicit sexual nature.
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
In response to this, Habbo has lost one of its investors, European VC firm Balderton Capital, forcing the CEO of Sulake, the company behind Habbo, to make a statement about what is happening right under its noses:
Habbo has a strong record in this area with industry commendations and deep experience actively preventing potentially damaging content. Since hearing about the report I have asked my team to tighten security across the site and to strengthen the user rules even further.
The company has taken a drastic action, deciding to "mute" the entire site during its investigation:
Habbos, due to the challenging behavior of a few users we have decided to mute the site and will update you when we have more information.
— Habbo (@Habbo) June 12, 2012
Habbos I am saddened but believe it is right to mute all while we continue to investigate. I'll be sure to update you when I can. #Habbo
— Paul LaFontaine (@PaulLaFo) June 12, 2012
Since I'm not a Habbo user, I had to do a bit of digging to find out what a "mute" entails exactly, and found what I was looking for on a Habbo Wikia page:
A mute is a form of punishment set by Habbo moderators. Mutes occur when a player has said something which a moderator considers offensive with a structure policy of Habbo provided. They can be automaticlly issued, following a list of offensive phrases and keywords that triggers the Habbo muting system. Mutes are generally 10 minutes, during that time the player cannot speak.
In essence, the service is completely locked down, not allowing its players to talk to one another, which is the main focus of the site.
We'll keep an eye out for more developments, but after checking Twitter, it seems like the mute is still in place.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The new God of War: Ascension single-player trailer shows off some very pretty graphics. After playing some of the multi-player beta on PlayStation Plus, I can say with some certainty that the game does indeed look fantastic. The single-player game should better showcase this, one suspects.
Here's the latest trailer:
And here's the multi-player trailer:
I haven't a fully-formed opinion of the multi-player beta just yet; I find myself enjoying it while at the same time wishing it were the single-player campaign. I'm really curious to see where they take Ascension.
The multi-player itself is comprised of several game modes, four gods to which you can give your allegiance in exchange for different starting characters, and a number of upgrades and unlocks to armor, special items, and so forth. You level up by fighting matches and earning experience, but certain items must be found within maps themselves.
I haven't played a great deal of it, but the combat is fun enough so far. Again, I'm much more curious to see how it plays out in the single-player campaign. I enjoyed the original God of War quite a bit, but there have always been certain choices in the franchise that have bothered me (like the over-use of Quick-Time Events, or QTEs.)
Graphically, this latest God of War title will join a really amazing line-up of Sony PS3 exclusives hitting shelves in 2013. The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls certainly lead the console pack for 2013, but God of War looks like it should hold its own. Of course, many other games like the weird-looking Puppeteer on PSN, the highly-anticipated DUST 514 free-to-play shooter, and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time help flesh out the many PlayStation exclusives of 2013. It should be a good year for Sony's video game division.
Hopefully God of War 3 is released free of charge on PlayStation Plus prior to Ascension's release. For those of you unfamiliar with Sony's Plus service, it's really a pretty fantastic value. I've downloaded LittleBigPlanet 2, the original Darksiders, and several other quality titles as well as the Ascension multi-player betas all for free (or, rather, covered by the Plus subscription) in the last couple of months.
Sony should push harder than ever with its Plus service this year in the lead up to their release of the next-generation console, and push doubly hard on Plus releases on Vita to help the struggling handheld swim instead of sink.

yes, I'll sing it with the saints in glory
gathered by the crystal sea.

found the sheep that went astray,

sight was gone, and fears possessed me,

but the Savior still is with me;
by his hand I'm safely led. (Refrain)

All-New 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Caught Roaming Around Colorado (Video)
5Sponsored Links
Wildfires didn't stop GM engineers from giving their all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-sized pickups a decent helping of high altitude testing recently, where Edmunds Inside Line was able to get footage of a pair camouflaged mules trekking the roads of the Rockies.
While we have initially pinned the launch of the all-new Silverado and Sierra for spring of next year, Inside Line is reporting that the trucks will not launch until fall 2013 — just in time for football season. Because of this, the outlet forecasts the big unveiling to happen during the 2013 North American International Auto Show along with the all-new C7 Corvette.

BRIEF-Western Energy says increased support for combination with Savanna Energy
* Western Energy Services Corp. Announces increased support for combination with Savanna Energy Services Corp.
* BCE says doesn't breach 35 percent "danger zone"
* Regulator eyes late summer hearing
* Some rivals seeking better terms on BCE's content
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, June 5 BCE Inc, Canada's largest telecom company, is confident it will win regulatory approval for its proposed acquisition of Astral Media Inc and said it sees plenty of interest in the radio stations it must offload as part of the deal.
The C$3 billion ($2.9 billion) deal is expected to draw close scrutiny from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, given BCE's heft since buying CTV, Canada's largest private broadcaster, last year.
If the Astral acquisition would give the combined company more than 35 percent audience share, the regulator must decide whether the deal is in the public interest. It blocks deals that would give a 45 percent share in any region, genre or language.
"On the English side, we're below the 35 (percent market share)," Mirko Bibic, BCE's head of government and regulatory affairs, said on the sidelines of a telecom conference on Tuesday.
Broadly speaking, the Canadian market is divided between predominantly French-speaking Quebec, and the rest of the country, where English prevails.
"If you take all viewership, we're below 35 (percent) and it's all complimentary," Bibic said. Astral has "children's (programming) and we don't have children's; they have a movie network and we don't have a movie network. Our services are ad-supported, most of theirs don't have ads," he said.
BCE, the parent of Bell Canada, has pushed aggressively to own the content it distributes over mobile phones, tablets and personal computers hooked up to its telecom networks.
The Astral acquisition would bring its largest content provider in-house and expand its presence in Quebec, where Quebecor Inc is a major competitor.
Astral's television portfolio includes the Movie Network and HBO Canada, as well as French-language Super Écran and Canal Vie, among more than 20 specialty cable and pay-TV channels. BCE's Bell Media unit owns 29 specialty channels.
Montreal-based BCE has already said it would sell some of Astral's radio stations after the purchase so that the combined company does not exceed the maximum number of stations a single company is allowed to own in a geographical market.
Some analysts have suggested Bell may struggle to sell the assets as rivals already own the maximum number of stations allowed, but Bibic dismissed that idea.
"There's great interest. People are interested in buying them," he said, without elaborating.
Len Katz, the acting chairman of the CRTC, said he had not yet seen the BCE/Astral file but a hearing would likely take place in late summer or early autumn, with a decision coming 35 days after the formal end of that process.
"In some cases they may be in that gray area, I'm not sure they're in that gray area for everything," he said.
The deal has already be approved by shareholders of both companies.
Bell's Bibic said the company is in front of the CRTC on the related issue of how much it charges rivals to distribute its content on their cable or satellite platforms.
Content contracts came up for renewal at the end of 2010, with sport channels in particular seeing major rate increases.
Bibic said Bell has renegotiated with 159 distributors on a uniform per-subscriber rate structure but several, including Telus Corp, Manitoba Telecom Services Inc and Cogeco Cable had balked at the terms it offered.
Bell and the distributors will make final pricing offers to the regulator later this week. The CRTC will then choose one of the rate plans to implement, in what is known as "baseball negotiations" designed to encourage moderation.

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
So of course, we don't want to be restricted to wearing earbuds constantly when we're jamming out to some awesome tunes. This is where a wireless speaker comes in handy! Wireless speakers allow you to share the music you love with those around you at parties, during a romantic evening at home, or well, anywhere!
So when I got the chance to check out the amazing DECK Wireless Speaker from SOL REPUBLIC, I was beyond excited. SOL REPUBLIC is a brand I have heard wonderful things about, since they are known for their high quality, stylish audio gear.
About SOL REPUBLIC :
Our Review of the DECK Wireless Speaker :
This speaker is about the size of a paperback book, and has some weight to it. This, my friends, is a good thing, since all speakers with a sub-woofer should be sturdy. It also has a rubberized base that allows the DECK to play flawlessly with no vibrations, even with some booming bass. No annoying rattling and shaking sounds here! No, siree!
Pairing your devices with the DECK is simple and requires absolutely no passwords. You can also plug your devices right into the unit when wireless pairing isn't convenient!
The battery life is also quite generous. You can get up to 10 hours of jamming time per battery charge. So this speaker is dependable and can party long into the night, should you so desire.
The DECK also offers 360 degree sound. So no matter where you are in relation to the unit, you will hear nothing but crisp, clear high quality audio. And the sound is amazingly consistent. We listen to all kinds of music here from rap and R&B to country to hard rock and metal, and literally everything in between. No matter what the genre, this speaker offers a very pleasant listening experience.

Early pathogenesis in porcine proliferative enteropathy caused by Lawsonia intracellularis
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
The intestinal bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis, the cause of proliferative enteropathy (PE) in pigs, is believed to infect mitotically active epithelial cells of the intestinal crypts and then multiply and spread in these cells as they divide. Further spread of infection is thought to occur by shedding of bacteria from infected crypts followed by infection of new crypts. The early stages of the pathogenesis of PE, from 0 to 48 hours post-infection (hpi), have not been studied in vivo. In the present study pigs were inoculated with L. intracellularis and killed from 12 hpi to 5 days post-infection (dpi). The localization of L. intracellularis was determined immunohistochemically and by fluorescence in-situ hybridization. At 12 hpi L. intracellularis was found within epithelial cells at the tips of villi, indicating infection of a range of epithelial cells including mature differentiated enterocytes. Furthermore, early invasion of the intestinal connective tissue was observed; with the presence of single bacteria in the lamina propria 12 hpi, and with a further spread of bacteria in the lamina propria observed at 5 dpi, suggesting an active role for the lamina propria in the course of infection.

Topic tags/keywords: massaranduba flooring brazilian redwood question resource tip finishing I am getting ready to have unfinished Massaranduba flooring installed in our house (kitchen & living room). I read on County Flooring's website that it is best to apply de-waxed shellac first in order to maintain the deep red color of the wood before applying another finish. Would de-waxed shellac work well under tung oil? If so, are there brands of tung oil that work better than others for a flooring application? Thanks in advance for the advice – have tried combing the web, but there seems to be very few resouces available with regards to finishing this kind of wood. :-( -- Tracey, Camas WA |

It will work, but an oil finish on a floor sounds kinda questionable when it comes to wear. -- email@example.com |
#2 posted 08-02-2012 05:06 PM |
I can't see it working under an oil finish – doesn't the shellac act as a sealer? As for oil finishes on a floor, they do exist, are hard wearing and easy to repair. This is the link to Woca (formerly Trip-Trap) who are market leaders in my neck of the woods. |
#3 posted 08-02-2012 05:38 PM |
Thanks for the link – will read that next. The samples of the flooring that I have are pre-finished with an aluminum oxide finish. Didn't care for the way the finish would leave white marks when scratched. Given that I have two dogs (one a decent-sized Doberman) and three kids, it seemed that the floor would look awful within a matter of months if I had gone with the pre-finished garden variety. Using tung oil seemed like the most user-friendly in terms of ongoing maintenance. However, one flooring site (County Floors in NY) had recommended using a de-waxed shellac seal coat first before applying the tung oil in order to enhance and maintain the deep red color of the wood. Given that I can't seem to find any other references for this kind of wood, I figured I'd better double-check and do more research prior to moving forward with the finishing. -- Tracey, Camas WA |
#4 posted 08-02-2012 06:09 PM |
You should do some more research on the aluminum oxide finish. It's one of the toughest floor finishes you can find and it's not something you can do yourself. It takes special equipment in a controlled environment. I've seen pre-finished floors that look almost new after years of kid and pet traffic. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |
#5 posted 08-02-2012 06:47 PM |
Well, the unfinished flooring has already been ordered and is arriving this afternoon. It will be in the house for almost three weeks before it's installed so that it can adapt to our home's ambient interior climate. So, the only question now is to how to finish it so that it looks its best for the longest period of time, while still providing relative ease of future on-the-fly touch-ups. -- Tracey, Camas WA |

Are you installing, sanding and finishing yourself? -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

Our hand-scraped flooring is prefinished with the al/ox. Wouldn't trade it for a year's supply of an oil finish. -- firstname.lastname@example.com |
#8 posted 08-02-2012 07:44 PM |
I have a hardwood flooring installer signed on to put in the flooring (I had read that it can be tricky to work with due to how hard it is), but so far plan on finishing it myself. -- Tracey, Camas WA |
#9 posted 08-02-2012 07:47 PM |
Bill, that's good to know, but we still have to deal with the reality of what's already been purchased and arriving shortly – unfinished product. ;-) Any thoughts on tung oil going over de-waxed shellac? -- Tracey, Camas WA |
#10 posted 08-02-2012 08:12 PM |
NO NO NO NO NO, tung oil over shellac will give you more regrets that you can imagine, its a soft, slow drying product, I just did a heart pine floor in Vermont, I did shellac, its will seal any wood, oily , sappy , what ever, then using a lambs wool applicator, I did 3 coats of General Finishes, Arm R Seal, its a urethane oil, and I have it on my personal floors, steps, etc, and have for years, looks like the day I did it, afer the shellac, apply a coat, of Arm R Seal, let it dry over night, then do a light scuff sand ( yep hands and knees), to defuzz, ( try that with tung oil) then vacume well, then apply a second coat, and then a 3rd, between the 2nd and third use some 600 grit, just to make sure its slick, when using a lambs wool applicator, think of it as a big brush, dont press hard, just pull it, lifing off and on should be like a air plane landing, you want to leave a a nice wet coat, no puddles or "dry areas", then again, basically let the weight of the applicator do the work, Arm R Seal is not cheap, but geez does it do a nice job and hold up, its also a oil so touch up is pretty easy, I personally have a house full of it from bath room counters, to floors, and its my go to for any hand applied finish, for my clients as well, I prefer a satin sheen, done this procedure many times, never had a complaint or issue, Just my .02 |

Do yourself a HUGE favor and talk to a pro floor finisher before you do something you'll regret. At the risk of annoying some of the LJ brethern, take everything you get here with a grain of salt. Finishing floors ain't the same as finishing cabs or furniture. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

Check out the Bona line of floor finishes. -- Clint Searl....Ya can no more do what ya don't know how than ya can git back from where ya ain't been |
#13 posted 08-03-2012 02:52 AM |
I don't particularly mind the 24 hrs between each coat (at least that's the recommended drying time for the Waterlox product I was looking at). The main reason I decided to post here is because the various flooring guys I've spoken with all seem to have conflicting opinions. The most important consideration for me is ease of spot refinishing. Given our situation and lifestyle, we're just not going to be in a position to have the floors professionally redone every few years when the scuffs get to be too unsightly. It was my understanding that a tung oil product would provide that flexibility. I don't mind a bit of up-front inconvenience (in terms of longer drying times) if it will provide greater long-term satisfaction. The only reason I had a question about the de-waxed shellac is that I had read that using tung oil alone on Massaranduba would cause it to age to a brownish color, rather than the deep red that it is known for. It was suggested that a de-waxed shellac would preserve the color, and that Tung oil (in addition to other products) would go over the de-waxed version just fine. Seeing as how I've never worked with either, I felt it important to get other opinions on this before moving forward. -- Tracey, Camas WA |

First Review by pcarlson
Feels like someplace other than Pasadena
Love this place because it has great options for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The portions are appropriate, meaning they are not intended to stuff you belly and still have leftovers. The quality and care of the food is noticeable. There is a family style table running down the center of the restaurant as well as patio seating out on Colorado Blvd. Best time to visit may be for brunch or breakfast.
Pros: Great variety , Warm atmosphere

Swann Memorial Fountain
1924 by Alexander Stirling Calder
The center of Logan Square belongs to a popular fountain sculpture by Alexander Stirling Calder, son of the City Hall artist.
Designed with architect Wilson Eyre, the work memorializes Dr. Wilson Cary Swann, founder of the Philadelphia Fountain Society.
Adapting the tradition of "river god" sculpture, Calder created large Native American figures to symbolize the area's major local waterways: the Delaware River (a man), the Schuylkill River (a woman) and Wissahickon Creek (a girl).
Frogs, turtles, a fish and two swans — puns on the name of Dr. Wilson Cary Swann, the fountain's namesake — complete the group.
Children love the playful frogs and turtles that spout water toward the 50-foot geyser in the center.

Eva Longoria Parker: Desperate Housewife Has Minor Fender Bender
Actress Eva Longoria was involved in a minor car accident last night.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker was reportedly one-half of a fender-bender in Hollywood Wednesday night.
Eva Longoria Parker, A.K.A. Gabrielle Solis on ABC's hit dramedy Desperate Housewives, A.K.A. Tony Parker's dime piece wife, was involved in a minor traffic accident Wednesday evening.
According to TMZ, police say Eva Longoria was headed down Hollywood Blvd when a car abruptly made an unsafe left turn. The other car crashed into the Desperate Housewives star's vehicle around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night. The minor accident resulted in feverishly cited internet reports about Eva Longoria and the traffic incident all night Wednesday and into Thursday.
Eva and the other driver are reportedly uninjured, although police reports were filed after the car accident.
Watch Eva Longoria In Action On Her Hit Show Desperate Housewives Instantly!
Eva Longoria Parker is an "Actress, Activist, and Philanthropist," according to her Twitter bio. Longoria Parker gained popularity when ABC's Desperate Housewives hit the airwaves in 2004, although the actress made a name for herself as a model several years prior to the show's debut. Longoria is repeatedly referred to in popular media as a Latina this and Latina that, but we're pretty sure she was born and raised in Texas. Not take anything away from her heritage – whatever Latin blood Longoria is full of, it's damn hot. Eva was also the subject of a high profile wedding when she wed NBA superstar Tony Parker in July 2007. Aside from modeling and acting, Eva Longoria Parker opened up Hollywood restaurant Beso in 2008, which also happens to be nearby the Wednesday night traffic accident location.

Not only had Ian previously tried to be the manager of the chipmunks he tried to be the manager of the chipettes as well .He too went off the side of the ship after a confrontation with Dave about a piece of equipment that could save the chipmunks from having to be on the "deserted" island.
Now Dave must try to find his chipmunks with this obnoxious man, Ian. As he tries to find them, the movie really throws out at the audience, the true meaning of family and perseverance. Both the chipmunks, Dave and Ian are looking for each other and missing each other often. At the end of the day both "search parties" are exhausted!
By the next morning Dave and the chipmunks continue to look for each other and when they finally do, they are completely ecstatic. The crazy lady on the island is looking for the treasure and she steals one of the chipettes to retrieve that treasure!!! In this fight to get the little chipette back, Dave convinces the lady to release her and shortly after the crazy lady changes her ways and eventually everyone is on their way back to civilization, in this very adventurous movie filled with laughter, sadness, family and lots of singing!

Our very own Emma Span will be on Jeopardy tonight. Yup, that's right. She's on Jeopardy. Don't miss it.

You can watch her introduce herself here ...
[2] Oh man, this is already embarrassing. It's really hard to come up with a non-cheesy "Hometown Howdy", though. (My friend had suggested, "Hey Brooklyn, if you were thinking about skipping Jeopardy tonight - fuhgeddaboudit!")
And why am I blinking so much? Jesus.
Emma is like the 10th person I've known to appear on either Jeopardy or Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Me? I won a CD player from WNEW-FM years ago for knowing which side of the record each of two Dire Straits songs came from.
I'm pretty smart, but my expertise is not diverse-enough to get on those shows.
You go Emma!
No sweat kiddo.
It would only be embarrassing if you didn't make the Final Jeopardy round.
(you DID make Final Jeopardy, right?) :-)
[6] it was good emma. i mean you are right that it is almost impossible not to be too corny there - but yours was good. since your ys memory was one of my favorite because of the whole he [curt schilling] is a "fucking pussy" it would have been great to work the phrase fucking pussy in - but i am guessing alex trebek would have passed out on the spot
[9] Yes, I doubt that would have made it through unbleeped.
And now I'm regretting not writing [10] "who is Karim Garcia?" as my Final Jeopardy answer. Given the question, it would have been hilariously nonsensical.
Perhaps, in some fairy tale world, "Karim Garcia" is its own Jeopardy category, complete with Video Daily Double.
but ... but ... its true (sniff) ....
I know jacks**t about history, literature .... but math, science, words ... then we're OK.
I DID try out for one of those ESPN sports trivia shows a few years ago ... didn't even make it past the written exam. :-(
"Who is Nathan Lane?" - not always the correct answer but it will definitely get you invited to the judges' after-party.
One of my Scrabble acquaintances is one of the founding Jeopardy archivists.
(You can basically find the Q&A for most shows listed at this site a few days after it airs)
