More people are remodeling their homes today because of the credit crunch. Unable to continually buy and "move up," it's a natural step because people seem to love to improve their surroundings. Having worked in the building materials industry for 25 years, I have seen more than my fair share of scams, some of them whoppers. Home improvement is an area that is particularly susceptible to scams and con artists because of the mystery that surrounds the proper licenses, permits, building codes, and home contractors in general. People are worried that they will not have the skills to perform many of the home improvement tasks themselves, despite having watched it on HGTV 100 times!
The best defense against a home improvement scam is information.
I remember in particular, one couple that moved to the South to retire. They had dutifully saved their money and had bought one of the most beautiful lots I have ever seen. They planned to build a home and pay cash for everything. After getting several bids from home contractors, they selected the one that was the lowest. He was significantly lower, too. I think a little greed took over.
This guy insisted that the couple pay him a chunk of an advance up front, get the permit themselves, and personally pay the lumberyard for all materials — with him as an authorized purchaser.
He was the king of home improvement scams. He didn't make off with the first advance, though they wished he had. He so totally botched the building of their home that the entire structure had to be demolished and started over. He was long gone by then. It was horribly sad to see that little couple have to get a mortgage and part time jobs to make extra money and pay for their home that was to be completely debt free.
Never select the lowest bid.
There's a reason the bid is low. There may have been something left off, intentionally or unintentionally. There may be a different quality of materials quoted. There may be different warranties, different methods of building, or different sub-contractors performing the work. The lowest bid isn't the cheapest in the long run!
Knowing the proper questions to ask will go a long way in helping you avoid getting conned in a home improvement scam.
1. Never allow yourself to be forced to make a decision right away. Any time a contractor puts pressure on a homeowner to act quickly about making a remodeling decision, that's a red flag. These decisions should be made carefully, hot hastily.
The signs of a scam: A hurried demeanor and a contractor that wants you to sign a "standard" contract without reading it.
The defense: Tell the contractor that before beginning any home improvement project, you have a rule of checking references and having your attorney read the contract.
2. Ask for references from everyone that will work on your project. But references are worthless unless you call them and physically inspect the work. Always ask the reference how the contractor resolved any problems…there are always problems. While you're checking, check that the contractor has adequate insurance (including worker's compensation and liability) and that the policies are in force and will cover anyone working on the job site. Verify this! Ask for the name of the insurance agent or company that handles his/her policies. Also check that the contractor's license is up to date, in force, and that he/she isn't under review for violating ethics or building codes.
The signs of the scam: A contractor that won't willingly give you this information is one you should avoid. He may insist that homeowners are the ones that get the permits and that he doesn't because of the added cost to the job. Hogwash. Move on.
The defense: Check references before you sign anything.
3. Make sure the contractor performing your home improvement project has credit at local suppliers. A good business person will have trade credit available to him/her and won't need you to pay for the materials up front.
The signs of the scam: Look out for home improvement contractors that have material left over from other jobs and want you to pay him/her for them up front. Also, watch out for those who insist that you pay for the materials separately from labor costs. There's a good chance that this contractor is less than honest in his/her dealing with suppliers and doesn't keep his/her word. If that's the case…
The defense: Ask where the contractor plans to buy the materials for the project. Then call the materials dealer and simply ask if this person has a good reputation. You would be amazed at how much information people will give you if you only ask. You can also deduct quite a lot of information from body language and tone of voice. Trust your gut.
4. Never agree to pay cash up front. There is a very good chance you will never see the contractor or your money ever again. This is a very simple idea, but it never ceases to amaze me that in the 21st Century, people STILL fall for this and pay a guy in a beat up pickup truck a large amount of cash…and then never see him again.
The signs of the scam: A home improvement contractor that is in such a desperate need of cash that he/she has to get an advance "up front," is a very poor business person. Don't, please don't, do business with anyone that has a cash flow problem.
The defense: Again, references are your best friends. Ask where the contractor banks, ask if he/she would mind if you spoke with their banker about how the contractor's bank account is managed. If he is suddenly dodgy or gets angry…move on.
Don't be afraid to ask lots of probing questions. This is YOUR HOME we're talking about. You need to know everything possible about the people who will be in your home and their character and work habits. Don't let embarrassment keep you from asking for references!
To really find a good home improvement contractor and avoid becoming a victim of a home improvement scam, check with several locally owned and operated lumberyards. These guys know who pays their bills on time and also know who has the best reputations. But be prepared to wait for a really good contractor. They're busy…for good reason…and that's a good thing!

LONG ISLAND OPINION; The Lilco Deal is a Sellout
By IRVING LIKE; Irving Like, a member of the Long Island Power Authority, made these remarks at an authority meeting before the pact with the Long Island Lighting Company was approved.
Published: July 3, 1988
I AM opposed to Governor Cuomo's settlement with Lilco.
The deal is an overly generous bailout of a grossly mismanaged, arrogant company.
It is a ruinous sellout of the interests of the ratepayers of Long Island, which deprives them of the opportunity of acquiring Lilco and controlling their energy future.
The settlement is nuclear blackmail accomplished in a secret and deceptive manner and in violation of the Governor's assurance that settlement negotiations would not be allowed to impede a L.I.P.A. takeover.
The circumstances of the settlement raise legal and ethical questions about the conduct of L.I.P.A. trustees Vincent Tese and Richard Kessel and whether Governor Cuomo has carried out his responsibility to uphold and enforce the L.I.P.A. statute.
Since L.I.P.A. was created, the Governor's chief settlement negotiator, Vincent Tese, deliberately acted to stall and then undermine L.I.P.A.'s effort to take over Lilco, despite repeated warnings that other trustees that L.I.P.A. had to perform the statutory responsibilities expeditiously if it wished to acquire Lilco to prevent Lilco from obtaining a Shoreham license.
From January 1987 to March 1988, Vincent Tese strenuously objected to L.I.P.A. making any offer to acquire Lilco. He expressed the opinion Lilco was virtually bankrupt, and its stock worth only $6 per share. He urged that L.I.P.A. delay any action until Lilco went into bankruptcy and then bid for the stock.
To preserve L.I.P.A.'s ability to launch a proxy campaign, Mr. Tese ultimately agreed to vote in favor of a L.I.P.A. proxy takeover offer on condition it was no higher than $8.75 per share, despite the opinion of L.I.P.A.'s consultants that such an offer would fail.
To gain credibility and increase the likelihood of a successful proxy effort, L.I.P.A. increased its offer to $10 per share, with Mr. Tese abstaining.
On the advice of L.I.P.A. consultants that an offer of $10 would not succeed in electing three L.I.P.A. trustees to Lilco's board, L.I.P.A.'s trustees voted 6 to 2 with Vincent Tese reluctantly concurring to increase its offer to $12 to improve its chances of electing L.I.P.A. trustees to Lilco's board.
Vincent Tese, Mr. Cuomo's chief negotiator, prevented Chairman William Mack and Richard Kessel from joining L.I.P.A. trustees Bredes, Campo, Like and Liff, who were willing to increase the $12 offer to the amount which, in the opinion of consultants, would win control of Lilco.
Unfortunately, while L.I.P.A.'s $12 offer was pending and before the Lilco's shareholder vote scheduled for May 17, the Governor announced a state settlement with Lilco that had been negotiated by Mr. Tese, and which contained terms more generous to Lilco than L.I.P.A.'s offer.
The Governor thus destroyed the L.I.P.A. takeover offer by bidding against L.I.P.A.'s $12 offer, which the Governor later described as a ''joke.''
While L.I.P.A.'s offer was pending and before the Lilco shareholders voted, Governor Cuomo and L.I.P.A. trustees Tese and Kessel, in concert with Lilco representatives, acted to promote acceptance of the proposed settlement, although it was in direct conflict with L.I.P.A.'s offer.
The conduct of L.I.P.A. trustees Vincent Tese and Richard Kessel raises serious questions whether they have met their responsibilities as L.I.P.A. trustees, and whether Governor Cuomo's conduct was in keeping with his obligation to uphold the L.I.P.A. statute, and his commitment to pursue a transition to public power on Long Island.
For the last 20 years I have represented citizens and the County of Suffolk in their struggle to block Lilco's mismanaged and dangerous nuclear projects unconscionable rate increases.
There are three reasons why I oppose the settlement.
First, while it promises to remove the Shoreham cancer, it strengthens the death grip in the body politic of Long Island of the cancer that is Lilco and the certainty of its increasing rates.
Second, the settlement, by subverting the L.I.P.A. statute, robs the people of Long Island of the right to control their energy future.
Third, I am well aware that rejection of the settlement keeps alive the risk of Lilco obtaining a full Shoreham operating license. Governor Cuomo may not point the finger of blame of this risk upon those who oppose the settlement. If Shoreham opens, the responsibility now rests squarely on Governor Cuomo, who opted for delay and bailout rather than a takeover.
We need not accept either an unpalatable settlement or Shoreham. There is time for the Governor to escape the evil choices he has created.
We urge Governor Cuomo to withdraw the settlement and negotiate a L.I.P.A. takeover.
The moment is opportune. It is possible now to estimate the immediate and future value of the proposed settlement to Lilco's shareholders, compare that with L.I.P.A.'s $12 offer and to negotiate a revised L.I.P.A. cash offer stock acquisition price, acceptable to both L.I.P.A. and Lilco's management and stockholders.
I am confident that L.I.P.A., with the resolute support of Governor Cuomo, can achieve a negotiated takeover of Lilco in time to prevent a Shoreham operating license.
To sum up, Governor Cuomo encouraged settlement negotiators, who are also L.I.P.A. trustees, to stall a L.I.P.A. takeover effort for well over a year. After L.I.P.A. launched its takeover effort and before Lilco stockholders were to vote on L.I.P.A.'s offer, the Governor killed it by announcing a settlement more generous to Lilco stockholders than L.I.P.A.'s offer.
The Governor caved in to Lilco's nuclear blackmail and then presented the settlement on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.

April 7, 2017
Dear Alderman Burnett, Alderman Ervin, and Alderman Solis,
As described in various media outlets, we understand that the City Council has approved a new resident permit program for public parking spaces along certain blocks in the West Loop. Co-sponsored by each of you in 2015, this program would require all vehicles parked in the locations included in the program between 7 and 9 am to have a resident permit.
Based on our community outreach efforts, a clear majority of West Loop residents that responded support this program. Furthermore, many expressed interest in expanding the program, both in the geographic boundaries and in the daily enforcement times.
To help gather input, we developed a West Loop parking map that shows existing permit parking (gray lines) and sections that are proposed to become permit parking areas as part of the program (red, blue, and green lines). The map also shows additional sections that residents have suggested should be included in the program (gold lines). In addition, some residents have stated that the 7-9am weekday timeframe for the program is insufficient, noting that parking becomes scarce along residential blocks for evening and weekend events downtown and at the United Center. Another resident has suggested leveraging United Center surface parking lots, in combination with shuttle bus services, to provide a parking option for "day-tripper" commuters displaced by the new resident permit parking program.
We also received some questions about the parameters of the program:
- Will this be a single permit zone, i.e., one permit number, or multiple zones?
- Will a resident need to live within certain proximity of a parking zone to be eligible for a permit, or will they just need to live within the West Loop?
- Please clarify if residents will be able to obtain guest, i.e., temporary, parking permits as is done elsewhere in the city.
- Will businesses will be able to purchase parking permits for the spaces in front of their businesses?
Based on the feedback we have received from residents and assuming that the above questions are addressed, Neighbors of West Loop supports this program as an effective first step for preserving the limited public parking volume in the West Loop. Additionally, we would ask that you include the resident-suggested areas identified in the West Loop parking map, either in the first phase of the program or in future phases.
Thank you for your consideration.

Give a listen to La Dulce Palabra Spoken Word Ensemble.
Drawing on episodes from their lives and recognizing the importance of oral storytelling in Latino culture, the ensemble's members use poetry to express their emotions and share their experiences with audiences.
"The poems are about things from our own pasts, things we want to talk about – personal experiences of growing up, relationships," Maria Del Carmen Calderon said.
"Through poetry we paint the picture of our existence," added Martha Cartagena. "Ultimately, strength is revealed through poetry. I'm convinced writing poetry is a healthy tool to release all that holds us back, and much cheaper than therapy."
"It's a great outlet," agreed Evon Flores Barrera. "It was awkward for me at first; I was very shy about what I was writing. Now it feels safe being with the ensemble and being able to express myself. We have no boundaries when it comes to writing."
The women hone their craft in member-directed workshops, which provide a secure, supportive environment to experiment and grow as writers.
"Having a safe space where my writing and self-expression is not judged, but rather encouraged, gives me the freedom to write what I please," Cartagena said.
"It tapped into this creative side that I didn't even know existed," Alicia Tellez Vega said. "Stuff just poured out. I'd write stuff and I'd be like, 'Wow, I didn't even know that was in me.'"
The women present their poetry at various venues such as college campuses, bars, fund-raising events and poetry slams. For Vega, immersing herself in dramatic performance provides a constructive outlet that allows her to release the negatives in her life.
"When I started performing, I felt like I was delivering myself to the world," she said. "I discovered my pieces had a life of their own. People would come to me (after a performance) and talk about how they experienced pieces I wrote and I would be like, 'Wow, that's got nothing to do with me. It's not the way I wrote it, but that's the way you experienced it. Take it for what you need it for.'"
Marixa Rojas has had similar reactions after a performance. "People come up and say, 'I understood you. I know where you're at. I've been there. I'm going through that right now. I felt that.' That feels great; it feels empowering."
"Reading in public and believing that my words may make an impact to move and/or challenge the audience in some small way is rewarding," Cartagena said.
"We've had hecklers say, 'How could you say something like that?' or just turn their noses up, and that's OK," Barrera said. "We welcome that, because whether we moved you in a way that's heartfelt or it's made you think or made you blush or even pissed you off, we're OK with that because we moved you. We have the power and the audacity to do that because we can and we should."
"What I really feel we've done and what we're trying to create is the possibility for anybody to be a writer, to be a poet, to be a performer," Vega said. "It's got nothing to do with experience or skill or talents. If the desire's there, we want to create a space for it to happen, whatever it looks like."
The group has created a book of their work. "The book is totally handmade, very grassroots, from scratch," Vega said. "Different people put different pieces of it together. We created this assembly line in somebody's house and put the book together and folded them and bound them and self-published it."
The multicultural, multigenerational collective began as a collaboration between Amigas Latinas, a nationally recognized organization whose mission is to empower Latina lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning women, and En Las Tablas Performing Arts Group, a not-for-profit community arts organization in Chicago that provides an open and affirming space for aspiring dancers, actors, poets, musicians and singers of all ages. A documentary celebrating the alliance of La Dulce Palabra and Amigas Latinas, Palabras Dulces, Palabras Amargas (Sweet Words, Bitter Words), was screened in March at Chicago's Hoover-Leppen Theater.

text: Ohio has changed the drivers licence/permit requirements. Now you can be 15.5 yrs to get the permit. You have to be with a parent, guardian, or instructor to drive, tho (instead of anyone w/licence). At 16, you get a probationary licence until you get 50 hours behind the wheel. One would also have to have 24 hours of classroom time. I would have benefitted from this (maybe) because after having my licence to 1 month, i wrecked my mom's 5ks on a rainy day (no ABS, bald tires, not trying to make excuses) when making a left hand turn on a very crowned road. I had to foot the bill, tho. Let's see, if all teens had to foot _every_ bill, maybe they wouldn't be such aweful drivers... -Eric Ferguson

Bash Freud At Your Own Peril!
I remember the first lecture, the first psychiatry "grand rounds" when a friend of mine became the "Chief resident" in my final year of residency training. He had gotten a speaker on national tour who was a "Freud-basher." This speaker launched into an allegedly scholarly criticism of Sigmund Freud.
In the question and answer period that followed, I destroyed this man. I could not stand this man putting down Freud and trying to build a career on that. Taking someone who had built a field where there had not been one before, and destroying his legacy, was a cheap and inappropriate way to be an academic. This speaker defended himself.
Me, I had just read the complete works of Freud translated into English — the A.A. Brill edition that Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, had used as the basis for American Advertising. The speaker, unbeknownst to me, told my friend later he had some bizarre kind of crush on me and would give anything to take me on a lecture tour because I had generated such controversy.
Psychiatry had been born in controversy. Sigmund Freud's father was a merchant who had his business suffer because of Viennese anti-semitism. Sigmund Freud and his buddies were marginalized by the Vienna medical society for the same reason. He knew there was a great gap in knowledge of the brain, and knew well that his psychiatry was neurology we didn't know yet. Me, I would not fault him for his shortcoming. Rather, pick up his theoretical constructs, and see what has happened and what has not.
The field deserves to be bashed, for it has fallen short of the quality of science that has been produced in other fields, like chemistry and physics. The power is in the magic of the human — of being human, and studying yourself. Because we cannot biopsy a living, functioning human brain and because our empathy with the animal kingdom is so great people hesitate to use animals for experiments, and because this is a "spiritual science," it incorporates too often fanciful hypotheses into drug development and has become dominated by some strange pharmacological models.
I do not know how we course-correct a field this large. While individual human stories generate tear-jerking anecdotes from concerned professionals without scientific respite, lavish statistical studies show the biological psychiatry model has simply not lived up to its grandiose presumptions. We need to look humbly at everything from social causes to nutrition, and build all-inclusive illness models. We need to look at everything from nutritional basics to environmental toxins. We need to have those trained for social assessments incorporating them into the picture. We should not use price as a way of choosing or assessing practitioners. We should not be as drowned as we are at this stage of the game. We need the straightest possible line to stopping the psychic pain of a mentally hurting world.

Hey! So it's been a little bit since I posted. Things have been kind of crazy around here this last month but I wanted to share this fun shoot I did with a few girlfriends at Filament in collaboration with Shopbop! You might've seen a few of the photos on Instagram but I thought I would go ahead and share more on the blog to tell you about our happy hour and make it easier for you to shop our outfits!
Side note: I found out a few days ago that I qualified for President's Club with my company again! This is my fourth time achieving PC (I was in the top 25 Sales Executives out of roughly 300) and this year it is a trip to Aruba! *pops champagne* If you want to see where it was last year check out this post (I loved it!).
Okay, back to this post. I went to happy hour at the beautiful Deep Ellum restaurant, Filament, with a couple of friends who happen to also be awesome bloggers, Courtney from Always Coco Noelle and Molly from Fashion Veggie. I have met SO many amazing women over the last 3+ years of blogging and feel very thankful to have made some true friendships with a lot of them.
We got together for a fun Shopbop Instagram campaign I was working on and are therefore wearing head to toe Shopbop. Shopbop is always featuring different trends on their website and we are sporting pieces from their "tailor made" spring trend. You know I am obsessed with light blue and white pinstripes so the shirt I'm wearing was a must. It's under $50 and you can get it here. Keep scrolling to see more from the restaurant and shop all of our restructured shirt looks at the bottom of this post!
We had the best time catching up and talking about everything from blogging to politics to who knows what else. If you haven't been to Filament I highly recommend checking it out. It is a beautiful restaurant (those floors!) and we really enjoyed our appetizers (loved the pimento cheese dip!).
Happy Hour at Filament is Monday-Friday from 4:00-6:30 serving $5 specialty cocktails and half-off small plates! Every Wednesday whiskey is half-off and they have $2 mimosas on the weekend. Pretty good happy hour if you ask me!
Stay tuned for a BRAND NEW Chic at Every Age post tomorrow. Yes, two new posts in less than 24 hours. I'm going from zero to a hundred real quick. It's all about a trend I love so you won't want to miss it!

An effective email marketing strategy doesn't need to be complicated. In fact, the world we currently live and do ...
Welcome to Asep Onde Web Business Investing Blog.
This is the very first post of this blog, and I wouldn't write anything special here, except welcoming you to this blog.
I should probably start this blog about a year ago when I begin my journey in making money online. Now I'm in the business for 9 months, and won't consider myself as anything else except a newbie in everything online.
I have built small wealth online, owning and running a few dozen websites. Maybe not a big deal for others, but definitely a big deal for me.
Currently, I make about $750 – $900 a month online, and very soon will try to break the $1000 barrier that keeps hanging above my head 🙂
Experts in make money online said that the first thousand is the hardest, and I agree with them. The good news is, they also said that after you reach the $1000 mark, everything will become easier, and eventually you will be graduated as "beach bum online millionaire" – a' degree' that basically explains that you are financially free through online methods.
Hopefully they didn't bluff!
Guys like Darren Rowse, Anthony Ferris, John Chow, Yaro Starak and some others are my role models, and set the example of the life I'm dreaming about – traveling the world while making money online (semi) automatically.
So, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride with me! I'll update you with everything I know and learn in my journey making money online. Hopefully you will share yours, too 🙂

Manic - I've already been down that road and am not out of the woods yet. I am not on any meds but I have taken (yes taken , it is a drug) alcohol to calm me down , it may work in the short term but the consequenses are tenfold and you will end up using this tool more and more without thinking. I think alcohol should be enjoyed in moderation , not used to cover up feelings - no matter how bad......if you can't cope and your pdoc isn't getting round to you quick enough then pop your head in at ER.....drastic I know , but you will get seen at least.
I totally agree with Warren & Howlyncat aswell , drugs & alcohol are a no no too a lot of meds have to be at a fine balance to work , throw in a depressant (alcohol) and you'll be tailspinning.

Outcome Measurement in Stroke
A Scale Selection Strategy
Background and Purpose—Evaluating the impact of new treatments requires the use of reliable, valid, and responsive outcome measures. However, given the wide range of instruments currently available, it is not always straightforward for healthcare professionals to select the most appropriate tool. In this review, we propose a potential approach to scale selection.
Methods—In designing a new study of the impact of a robotic device in stroke rehabilitation, we developed a three-stage scale selection strategy. First, two guidance documents (Medical Outcome Trust and Food and Drug Administration PRO Guidance) were reviewed to identify key scale assessment criteria. Second, consideration was given at a theoretical level of the concepts and domains relevant to the goals our study. Third, a comprehensive literature search strategy and review were developed in conjunction with healthcare professionals and psychometricians. Identified scales were appraised regarding their psychometric properties and clinical content.
Results—Forty-five measures were initially identified and appraised. From a clinical content perspective, none of the measures were considered to be sufficient on their own to capture all the important outcome domains in this study. However, 3 measures were identified that best met our review criteria: Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement, Chedoke Arm and Hand Inventory, and ABILHAND. After the final stage of scale appraisal, two further upper limb scales (Fugl-Meyer and Action Research Arm Test) were included based on clinical content and study design issues.
Conclusions—Our three-stage review process appears to be a potentially useful approach for evidence-based scale selection in stroke rehabilitation studies.

This chapter described the function of WSDL for a Web-service-based architecture. WSDL provides one form of Web service description, the functional description. The functional description of Web services falls into two broad areas: the abstract service definition, containing the service interface definition, and the service implementation description, containing the protocol binding and deployment information. Vendor tools (e.g., xrpcc) may use this information to generate all the Java classes necessary for enabling a Web service client to invoke a Web service implementation.
The abstract service description is reusable across many implantations of a service, and an industry group may publish the abstract service description, so any service producer can provide a conforming implementation. A well-structured WSDL document should, therefore, separate the two and use the import element within the WSDL for service implementation to refer to the service interface WSDL.
The functional description of a Web service is essential for implementers and users of the service, but there are other forms of Web service description that WSDL does not address. Describing how Web services can be orchestrated or combined to create more complex Web services and describing the quality of service (service level agreements) promised by a Web service implementation are addressed only in the ebXML specification suite. Chapter 17 describes some emerging non-ebXML specifications that address these areas.

What was the impact of railroads on the US in the late 19th century?

The geography of the American continent lent itself to the transport of raw materials from unpopulated to populated (and thus industrialized) areas - usually west to east. In Europe, by contrast, railroads mainly brought small-town populations into the cities. A seminal and entertaining novelization of this process can be found in The Octopus. The laying of track in the Great Plains was relatively easy; it was the Rockies (and the Sierra Nevadas that proved most difficult but, ultimately, the most financially rewarding.

Truck Camper Magazine
We welcomed Truck Camper Magazine last week to our manufacturing plant and got to meet Gordon, Angela and Harley. They are on a 5 month tour and took the time to stop in and check out our facility. Gordon took a lot of pictures; I can't wait to see his article! And Angela kept a close eye on the install of a rear sway bar on their truck. (Angela was also the one to do the test driving for the before and after experience.) While the truck was on the lift Harley (the cat) got to hang out inside in the cool office. By the way he is the best traveled cat and so sweet.
Join the Truck Camper Magazine Community, they are very knowledgeable about truck campers and aren't lacking in adventure.
Check out our photos from their visit.Posted on Thursday, July 1st, 2010 in news.

Massive quarterly improvement at Curragh
COAL output explodes despite annual declines of nearly 20 percent.
Wednesday 27 July 2016
Wesfarmers have increased metallurgical coal production by a staggering 79 percent and steaming coal by nearly 30 percent in the last quarter as they return to full production at the Curragh mine near Blackwater.
Despite the massive improvements, the company says overall production of steel-making coal for the year to June remained down nearly 20 percent as it dealt with difficulties created by the wet season.
"Overburden removal for the quarter ended 30 June 2016 was 11.0 percent higher than the previous quarter, driven by the successful commissioning of additional overburden removal equipment during the previous quarter," Wesfarmers said.
"The increase in coal production reflected the impact of significant rainfall on mine operations in the January to March quarter.
"For the 12 months to June 2016, metallurgical coal production decreased by 19.3 percent to 7,316,000 tonnes and steaming coal production increased by 2.4 percent to 3,263,000 tonnes."
The company remains focussed on its existing available resources with no investment in development or exploration in the last three months.
The impact of the last weeks rain event won't be known until the next production report released in September.

Department Of Obscene Commitment: Beatle Bob's 5000 Nights Of Rock
There are fans of live music — and then there's Robert Mantonis. He has caught a show every night, without fail, since Christmas Eve.
Of 1996.
Tonight Mantonis is attending his 5000th concert in as many nights. He's actually putting on the show himself to celebrate with some of his favorite St. Louis bands. Mantonis, as you might imagine, is something of a legend around St. Louis. He even has a nickname: Beatle Bob.
"It's like plugging into the electic current," Bob says, attributing his Ripkenesque stamina to drug and meat-free living. "The music just energizes me, even if I've had a bad day."
Tonight's concert party takes place at Blueberry Hill, the suburban venue where Chuck Berry still plays a monthly show. You can stream the concert on Ustream starting at 8 pm Eastern.
Bob, 57, is known for wearing '60s-retro outfits and sports a haircut that's reminiscent either of the early Beatles or Justin Bieber. He mostly comes out to hear rock 'n roll bands, but he supports all kinds of popular music. "He knows more about music than anyone I know, current and old," says Hudson Harkins, leader of Hudson and the Hoo Doo Cats, a rockabilly band playing tonight's show. "He's also an expert on baseball and, believe it or not, roller coasters."
Most bands, like Harkins', welcome Beatle Bob, comping him at the door and often inviting him on stage to dance, emcee or even sing. In addition to his constant patrols of St. Louis clubs, Bob has made his presence known at major festivals such as Bonnaroo and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
He's done that by invariably standing close to the stage and dancing in a herky-jerky fashion that is, like his look, a melange of early 1960's styles. There are people in St. Louis who can't stand to see Bob show up because they find his shtick a distraction, or worry he might end up kicking them in the shins.
For many, though, Bob's mere appearance serves as a seal of approval. "It's kind of a Beatle Bob-sanctioned show," says Harkins. "If he shows up, it kind of validates that you have a good show."
Perhaps inevitably, Beatle Bob will soon release an iPhone app that will share his nightly picks for shows around the country.
Rock on, Bob.

My photos are taken with an iPhone, or in some cases, with an iPad mini. As smartphones and tablets became popular and grew into high technology devices, the quality of the included cameras increased as well. This created new opportunities for everyone, not only for me. I am by far not the only one that is now able to take and present high quality photo art.
While smartphones have the ability to deliver outstanding photos, not everything is possible. At least not yet. I pay tribute to that fact. When I decide to put a photo up for sale, I make sure it is of high quality and leaves a positive impression. Not only on me and you, but also on your visitors and guests when they enter your location, office or home.
New York City is a popular tourist attraction. Not only that, New York City is also on the bucket list of millions of people around the world for a visit. Many will never see this amazing city, but many of them will still carry that secret love for this amazing town. Just because of that, there are millions of different photos out to buy. And, depending on what you are looking for, there is real sensational stuff out there. Before I decided to sell my photos, I wanted to make sure I have something different. I think I got to that point. I have been told that I have developed my own style and I have been called a "smart phone photography pioneer". I think I did a good enough job to go out into the world and show what I have. And, of course, to sell what I have.
I am thankful for your visit and I appreciate your business. If you have an opinion, please feel free to leave me a message in the comment section or contact me via the contact page.

Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch
This item has been shown times.
Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch:
The Web's LargestOnline Source
for Motorcycle Trailers
Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™
The same team who brought you Trinity MT3, The ONE, TheOriginal Slick Wheelie, and My Best Buddy Cargo Trailer XL has done it yet again. In keeping with our tradition of innovation, we have taken the classic ball hitch and revolutionized it. Today, we give you the patented Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ (US Patent 7,988,178).
What is it, and why do I need it?
A major apprehension for many motorcyclists who want to tow a trailer behind a bike is the fear of coupler binding which can flip the trailer. With the Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ from The USA Trailer Store, you can reduce or eliminate those fears. The Freedom Ball is a 1- 7/8" ball hitch assembly that you mount by bolting it to the hitch support at the rear of your motorcycle. Unlike traditional ball hitches, the Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ allows your motorcycle to lean freely in a turn without binding. When you reduce the risk of coupler binding, you reduce the chance of flipping your trailer or, even worse, flipping your bike and injuring yourself or someone you love.
How does it work?
When you lean your motorcycle to the right or left in a turn, the design holds the ball in the vertical position by allowing the base of the hitch to move in the opposite direction of the bike without causing your trailer to bind - as it could possibly do with a conventional ball hitch. And, unlike a swivel coupler, the Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ is not attached to your trailer, so there are no parts to retrofit. That is not the case with the swivel coupler. If you were to purchase a swivel coupler for installation on an existing trailer, you would have to drill and sometimes even cut or weld the parts in order to adapt the coupler to your trailer. You would have to drill, cut, and weld all of your trailers. The Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ is easy. Simply attach it to your motorcycle as you would a standard ball. So, one Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ gives you the freedom to use it with all of your trailers and to share it with all of your friends and family.
Haven't I seen something like this before?
Numerous hitches have been devised so that a motorcycle can tow a trailer. For the most part, however, they are nothing more than conventional automobile trailer hitches that have been adapted to fit a motorcycle. Others are universal couplers that allow pivotal movement around a vertical and horizontal axis using ball bearings and races; but, they do not allow for appreciable lean. In addition, these hitches are relatively complicated and costly. Conversely, the Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ is made specifically for motorcycles, mounts easily, and allows for the lean you need - all for a fraction of the cost!

ATTENTION: In order for the Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™ to move properly while in use, there has to be space between the shank and the side walls of the hitch's base. As a result of these spaces, when riding your motorcycle with an uncoupled Freedom Pivot Ball Hitch™, the metal parts will vibrate causing a rattling sound. This is inherent in its design. To prevent this, simply remove the ball from the bike's hitch when not towing a trailer.
Don't gamble with a conventional ball hitch!

You stand at the river's edge, the thunderous water shaking the ground at your feet. Tilting your head back, way back, you take in the sight, both glorious and terrifying, of the switchback that leads to your destination. Unless you're walking, a bus ride along this road is the only way up. The road is still partially blocked by huge boulders from the last enormous landslide; you try not to think of the implications. At the end of the road, you debark, show your ticket at the gate, and walk up a small hill. There, at the hill's crest, the world as you know it falls away.
At your feet lies Machu Picchu, one of the world's greatest mysteries and undeniably the greatest remaining legacy of the Inca Empire. When Hiram Bingham "rediscovered"the site in 1911, as head of a Yale Archeological Expedition, he believed he had found Vilcabamba, the 'Lost City of the Incas'and secret stronghold against the Spanish Invasion. More likely, it was the summer retreat of the reigning Incan ruler, Pachacuti. Nearly as suddenly as it was built, it was abruptly abandoned. Why? No one really knows for certain.
What is indisputable, however, is Machu Picchu's testimony to remarkable feats of engineering: agricultural diversity, perfectly aligned terraces, impressive aqueduct systems, and buildings of hewn stone exhibiting remarkable structural integrity. The human design is near perfect, and set against a backdrop of flawless natural beauty. Llamas and chinchillas graze in the soft green grass which now covers the site, and although there are marvels right in front of your face, you can't help but lift your eyes to the cloud-enveloped mountains, the holy pinnacles revered by the indigenous Quecha to this day. You stare in awe, and then you sigh.
You can't wait to tell your friends. They should go, but they should plan ahead; there are a limited number of tickets issued each day, so make sure they purchase in advance, either online or through a reputable agent in Cusco, the gateway city to Macchu PIcchu. Tell them to splurge, spend a night, and have dinner at Inkaterra Lodge, nestled in the cloud forest at the foot of the mountain. You know there couldn't be a more regal retreat; after all, you're dining with the king.

Forex trading is quite complex and it is definitely a high-risk venture. It could easily become a source for earning handsome profits or also could plunge you into a deep abyss of financial losses. The only deciding factor between a profitable and a loss-making currency trade is knowledge (or the lack of it).
"Failures are the stepping stones to success." This popular adage actually hints on learning from your failures. But since failures are costly, I personally prefer learning from the failures and mistakes of others. Here are a few pearls of forex trading wisdom that are based on the commonest reasons for failure of forex traders.
1) Always Practice on Demo Accounts
I think this tip in itself is worth its weight in gold, but newbie forex traders often ignore it and then end up in losses. You should not even think of entering a live forex trade unless you have practiced on a demo account to a point that you reap consistent profits on it. There is no shame in going back again and again to your demo account to refresh your knowledge and sharpen your forex strategies.
2) Invest in Training Yourself
I would say that investing in training that teaches you effective forex strategies to trade currencies profitably is mandatory. When you invest in gaining knowledge you are actually not spending money but insuring yourself against a lot of future losses.
But do not throw away your money buying everything that is in the market. Invest in training that focuses on making you an expert in trading forex. Other traders are investing in buying automated trading systems and the like, which is a huge mistake that you now know is better to avoid.
3) Choose a Platform That Suits Your Needs
The commonest mistake that I have seen traders make is in selecting a platform. They simply jump onto the most popular one without applying much thought on this.
I suggest that you choose a forex trading platform that is well suited to your needs. What use is the most popular platform to you if you are not very comfortable with its layout and workings?
Spend some time in trading demo accounts on the same platform that you propose to trade live.
4) Maintain a Trade Journal
If you are even a wee bit serious about your currency trading then you will surely invest time and efforts in maintaining a journal of all your trades. This is something that a majority of traders are lazy to do and not surprisingly end up as failures.
A trade journal will help you immensely in analyzing your past trades and gaining insights from them for the future ones. But you must discipline yourself to diligently maintain each and every one of your trades and include the details like the strategies used, prevailing market environment and of course the signals and indicators as well.
5) Don't Let Your Heart Dominate Your Brain
It is imperative that you fully understand the role that your emotions could play in disrupting your trade of currencies. Emotional trading has left too many traders devastated and you definitely do not want to join the list of unsuccessful forex traders. Letting your heart overtake your brain is something you must avoid at all costs.
Say no to emotional trading and yes to learning trade strategies. If you can manage to gain mastery over a particular strategy and discipline yourself to base your trading decisions on this strategy, then you will certainly see more of success.

Nurses protest being sent to CM bungalow
Following MiD DAY's report on Cama & Albless authorities asking nurses to tend to CM's mother-in-law at his residence, management assured them of revoking its decision
Following MiD DAY's report on Cama & Albless authorities asking nurses to tend to CM's mother-in-law at his residence, management assured them of revoking its decision
After MiD DAY's report on nurses at the government-run Cama & Albless hospital being sent to CM Prithviraj Chavan's bungalow to nurse his mother-in-law, the nurses of the hospital on Monday morning staged a protest against the administration. They allege that the hospital authorities are forcing them to work at the CM's official residence, Varsha.
In protest: Cama & Albless Hospital nurses agitate against the
authorities yesterday. Pic /Atul Kamble
This paper had reported about the incident ('Cama nurses summoned to take care of CM's ma-in-law') on October 8.
Yesterday, more than 50 nurses on morning shift gathered in the hospital compound around 8.30 am to protest against authorities sending nurses outside the hospital for duty.
Kasturi Kadam, joint secretary, Maharashtra Nurses Association, said, "According to the rulebook, nurses cannot be sent to give nursing care outside the hospital. If the patient is admitted to the hospital, we all are ready to take the best care of them. But we cannot go to any minister's bungalow in this manner."
Another nurse, requesting anonymity, said, "We had joined this profession to take care of patients and we are not shunning our duty. But we cannot go to the residence of any minister or dignitary for private duty."
It was only when Dr Rajshri Katke, medical superintendent of the hospital, assured the nurses that the authorities would not send them to the minister's bungalow, the agitated nurses returned to their duty.
"Our night duty staff is at the hospital wards and no patient's treatment was compromised while the nurses were protesting," added Kadam.
'All to curry favour'
Kamal Waikule, general secretary of the federation, said, "Once when Vasant Rao Naik was chief minister, his brother fell ill and was in the hospital medical superintendent's bungalow. At that time, the hospital had asked nurses to go to the bungalow but we declined to do that. The minister respected our decision and admitted his brother to the hospital."
Waikule has also written to Chavan asking for a probe in the matter. "Nurses are women and we have to think about their security. We have had bad experiences in the past," she said, adding, "The fact that nurses were asked to sign on the hospital muster and then go to the CM's bunglow proves that this is not an official arrangement. The authorities are only trying to be in the good books of the CM, so they decided to send the employees there," said Waikule.
Even after repeated attempts, Dr Rajshri Katke, medical superintendent of the hospital was not available for comment.

Item C1: 1 PORT ORFORD CEDAR TREE
This package contains 1 port orford cedar tree. The trees from this crop are 30 to 44 inches tall and a trunk diameter of 7/16 to 5/8 inches. The tree will be shipped in the container that it is growing in and will arrive with roots intact. The Port Orford cedar, also known as Lawson's cypress, is a large evergreen coniferous tree, maturing up to 200 feet tall or more, with trunks 4 to 6 feet in diameter, with feathery foliage in flat sprays, usually somewhat blue-green in color. It is native to southwest Oregon and the far northwest of California, occurring from sea level up to 4,900 foot elevation in the Klamath Mountain valleys, often along streams. It was first discovered near Port Orford in Oregon and introduced into cultivation in 1854 by collectors working for the Lawson & Son nursery in Edinburgh, Scotland, after whom it was named as Lawson's Cypress. It is hardy in zones A3, 3-6 and 15-17.

In January, when we visited the orphanage where you have lived, we took so many pictures, hundreds of pictures! My friend Nicole spent a lot of time behind a fancy camera. I am sure you remember her because you borrowed that fancy camera to take a few pictures yourself.
Nicole's pictures are beautiful—pictures of sweet little babies, pictures of people caring for each other, and pictures that just make me smile. But, of all the pictures she took, I think my favorite one is this one of you.
I remember exactly when and where it was taken. We were in the park, about to draw a crowd who wanted to see what we were doing. We divided the children into two groups and the Americans along with them. The kids were bouncing with excitement, so much so that we wondered if the games would work at all! In the middle of the chaos, there you were, ready to lead, confident, seemingly unaffected by the unbound energy, maybe even stronger because of it. This picture captured it all in one image. When I look at this picture, I see so many friends. But, mostly, I see a beautiful girl who has thrived despite a lot of hard things. I see a girl with big dreams for a faraway place. I see why so many children there call her their best friend. I see a girl I'm proud to call my friend.
There will be lots of happy ahead for you but lots of hard days too as you learn a lot of new things and miss the place you have known as home. When those days come, remember that your mother chose you and stopped at nothing to make you her girl. Look at this picture and know that you are worthy of her love.
I cannot wait to follow your journey as you become the woman you are meant to be.

The author Kevin Chong discusses his new book, Northern Dancer: The Legendary Horse that Inspired a Nation (Viking, 2014), with Joseph Planta.
|Northern Dancer: The Legendary Horse that Inspired a Nation by Kevin Chong (Viking, 2014).
Click to buy this book from Amazon.ca: Northern Dancer
Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, at TheCommentary.ca.
Fifty years ago, Northern Dancer was famous the world over, having won two of the Triple Crown races in the United States, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. In Canada, he won the Queen's Plate, and was a beloved figure for all. A new book looks at Northern Dancer's 1964 campaign, and goes back to tell the story of E.P. Taylor, the Canadian industrialist who changed the sport of kings in Canada, how he brought Northern Dancer together with the Argentinean Horatio Luro, a dapper trainer. He's a fascinating figure, as is Bill Hartack, the jockey who rode Northern Dancer. The book's author Kevin Chong joins me now to talk about it, and the hero status that for Canadians embodied more than a winner, it was the changing of the country. I'll ask Mr. Chong about that, what it might have established for Canadians, as well as what perhaps made Northern Dancer as remarkable a thoroughbred as he was, and how his legacy lives on today. Kevin Chong is the author of four other books, his more recent ones were the memoir, My Year of the Racehorse, and the novel Beauty Plus Pity. He is an instructor in the creative writing department at the University of British Columbia, and contributes to a range of publications. The full title of the book is: Northern Dancer: The Legendary Horse that Inspired a Nation. It's published by Viking. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Kevin Chong; Mr. Chong, good morning.

Moms range from first time mothers of newborns to experienced moms with multiple children. All you need to sign up is an email address. The group is private and you need approval to join, but we get members in quickly.
- Proboards Babywise Community: This is free to use.

J does casual chic in our latest What We Wore post
I found this clam print blouse in the depths of the sale in Marks & Spencer, It's from the range that is usually frequented by our nearest and dearest Grandmothers - meaning that this is definitely a blouse and not a shirt. Having spotted the print from the other side of the rail no amount of 'old lady' was going to stop me. Falling instantly in love, it has helped me to create what is one of my more 'fun' outfits. It plays with the contrast of combined textures; a rough black denim skirt, the soft knitted cardigan against the smoothness of the blouse. Most of all I love that print - I can't help but think it wouldn't look out of place in one of those funny little boutiques off the Kingsland road.
The midi 'J' ring was my Christmas present from R, she had initial rings made for all of us, beautifully simple but a bit on the delicate side of life so I'm particularly careful when I wear this one. The Zebra ring, well, he was a present to myself.
Not one to be particularly daring with my makeup with my complexion, keeping things simple tends to be best. Today, I decided to go with smokey eyes, I always like how the dark contrast brings out the blue in my eyes.
