Product Finder:
Voracious Reader from Isle of Lewis, Scotland
As I subscribe to myriad magazines my partner was getting fed up with all the unread ones sitting on a chair. With the purchase of the Single Four-Pocket Wall Mount Magazine Rack not only is she happy that the kitchen area is tidier she's also very happy it blends with the kitchen design. I'm happy in that I can sort the magazines into being read and waiting to be read. I have no negatives for this product as the fixings supplied were excellent as well. Not only that, even with postage it was unbelievably cheaper than being it in the UK.
JimHanus from Richmond MI
Nicely made, nice finish, works great in our RV to hold magazines and notepad, although a little on the expensive side.

DICK from FOREST HILL, MD.
Jim the trainer from Mechanicsville, Va.
Reasonably priced, and easy to assemble. This stand is very sturdy and looks great.
Gerry the jerry-rigger. from Ohio Buckeye
I stacked the magazine rack inside the newspaper rack, and secured a small 4-wheel flower pot coaster under it with plastic ties to swivel it! Saves space, and I can still see and grab papers or mags from my easy chair. Looked for years for something that fits this bill.
Gerry the jerry-rigger from Ohio Buckeye
See my review for the newspaper collector. I put the mag rack inside the newspaper rack and easily put them on a small 4-wheel coaster. Can hang mags on all corners and stack too. Quality!
Mom on a rat race. from Baton Rouge,La.
Looks great and will serve purpose for holding my husband's excess magazines and correspondence.
Pam at Trendz from Caldwell, Ohio
I am using this in the waiting area in my salon. It is working perfect.

Seasons are changing and there are some very beautiful sights to see and the smell of fall is in the air. We are all in different seasons of ministry here on PPN and some of us are walking through some storms, struggles and hurts that are mending others are celebrating victories they are seeing in their ministries. Either way we all need the reassurance that God is with us. Over the weekend the Lord spoke to me about where He is when we are hurting and I shared this on my personal blog but instead of making you have to follow the link I have reposted my post here for you to read. I pray it ministers to your hearts today!
Yesterday during our worship service we sang "Never Let Go." Here are a few of the chorus lyrics in case you are not sure what I am talking about…
"Ever faithful, Ever true, You I know You never let go,
You never let go, You never let go, You never let go"
We have sung this song a few times before but this time was different. You see during the weekend a brother in Christ lost his battle with cancer but won the victory over death as he entered through the pearly gates of heaven. While we were singing the Lord was speaking to my heart. In times of great strife, storms, illness, and the death of loved ones we often times question where is God? Why has He left us? Why has He allowed this to happen? Sometimes it's hard to remember that He is right there with us during those tough times.
You see God NEVER lets us go. Once we accept Him as our Savior He grabs a hold of us and refuses to let go. What the Lord was showing me yesterday is that it is during those times of storms that He holds on to us even tighter. When we are questioning where He is, He is there holding onto us with all of his might. In the case of this dear brother in Christ, the Lord showed me that God was there with him, holding on so tight that when the pain he was in was too much to bare Jesus said, "That's enough, it's time to come home," removing him from the pain and the disease, holding him tightly, never letting him go.
If you are hurting today, struggling with "where are you God" in the midst of your storm know this…
God is there! He hasn't left your side! He will NEVER let you go, in fact in the midst of your storm He is there holding you tighter than ever before! God's word promises us, "For the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deut 31:6b
In His Grip,

Happy 30th, Alicia!
Published January 26, 2011 08:58
MELBOURNE, Australia - Alicia Molik, one of the most successful and popular Aussie players of the past decade - plain to see amid the excitement that surrounded her first round win over Roberta Vinci at the Australian Open last week - celebrates her 30th birthday on January 27.
Former world No.8 Molik initially left the game in September 2008, nagging leg and elbow problems taking their toll. But after playing the first match of her comeback in doubles at New Haven in August 2009, she knuckled down to an exhaustive and successful ITF Circuit assault in Australia.
Back on tour in 2010, she scored wins over the likes of Zheng Jie and Anabel Medina Garrigues, her best result being a last 16 showing at Indian Wells.
In April, shortly after she returned to the Top 100, Molik helped restore Australia to the Fed Cup's elite eight nation World Group for the first time since 2004. Occupying the No.3 singles slot behind Samantha Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova against Ukraine in Kharkiv, Molik beat Mariya Koryttseva in one of the reverse singles matches, contributing to the eventual 5-0 whitewash.
Though not selected to the playing squad for next month's first round tie against Italy in Hobart (her current ranking is No.134), Molik has indicated her willingness to be there to serve as a hitting partner and supporter. Until then she'll be kept busy as part of Australian Open host broadcaster Seven's expert commentary team.
Before her 'long service leave' from the game Molik won five WTA singles titles, most notably at Zürich in 2004, where she beat Maria Sharapova in the final, but also at home in Hobart and Sydney (defeating Sam Stosur for the trophy).
She owns two Grand Slam doubles titles, the Australian Open in 2005 (with Svetlana Kuznetsova) and the French Open in 2007 (with Mara Santangelo), and beat then-world No.3 Anastasia Myskina for the singles bronze medal at the Athens Olympics.
Adelaide-born, Melbourne-based Molik is set to marry Tim Sullivan at a Yarra Valley winery next month, but says she has no plans to hang up her racquet just yet. Nor, she says, will 'Mol' be changing her name.
''Look, it's who I am. It's what I've been. It's all I know. It's what I respond to. Yeah, it's just me.''

Olympic torch stops at Peace Arch
Published on Wed, Feb 3, 2010 by
Tara Nelson
Read More
Blaine residents can join in on the Olympic spirit next week when the 2010 Olympic torch relay crosses through Peace Arch State Park.
Residents can see the torch pass through the park at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, February 9 and pause under the Peace Arch monument for a short ceremony. The event will feature keynote speakers B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell and Washington Governor Christine Gregoire.
"Washington is delighted to be part of the 2010 Olympic torch relay, and share in the spirit of the Olympic Games," Gregoire said. "This is another opportunity for Washington State and British Columbia to strengthen our partnership, and showcase our unique attractions and natural beauty that will attract even more visitors from around the world."
The Olympic flame will be carried by an honorary Canadian and an honorary U.S. torchbearer, the names of which will be released closer to the event, said Bridgitte Anderson, press secretary to premier Gordon Campbell.
The park is accessible to people on both sides of the border without having to cross through an official port of entry but Anderson suggested visitors arrive early.
"We've had such a huge outpouring of support from the local communities we are encouraging people to show up early to make sure there is adequate parking," he said.
Anderson said with more than 45,000 kilometers covered, the 106-day relay is the longest in-country relay in Olympic history. The relay began October 30 in Victoria, B.C.
From there, it traveled as far east as Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Foundland and back across Canada, visiting more than 1,000 communities and reaching almost 90 percent of Canada's population within an hour's drive of each community. It will spend a total of 27 days in British Columbia and during that time, be carried by 3,500 torchbearers.
After its stop near Blaine, it will continue on to Surrey, Richmond, West Vancouver and finally Vancouver on February 12, where it will light the Olympic cauldron in Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium\.

Rather than a walkout, the North Carolina Association of Educators is encouraging a "walk-in" for American Education Week.
An anonymous group of teachers had planned a walk-out on Nov. 4 in hopes of gaining support for public education from the state government and parents.
The website for the event explained that teachers did not have to walk out or call out of work to support the movement. Rather, teachers were urged to attend town hall meetings, support rallies and spin-off groups filled with other teachers and parents.
On Thursday, the NCAE -- which previously said it did not endorse the walk-out -- said that rather than a walk-out, it is now encouraging parents, educators and legislators to "walk into your public school and walk out inspired."
"As part of American Education Week, NCAE urges all affiliates to invite
community leaders to spend the day in their local public school," NCAE
said in a statement.
The plan is for supporters to wear red the week of Nov. 4 in support of public education. NCAE explained that the walk-in part could be "riding a bus, monitoring bus duty, serving a meal [or] assisting with clerical support," among other actions.
Participants are encouraged to "work with teachers, children, administrators and support staff as they use their skills and talents to bring the best out of each student."
A law passed in July that directs school districts to offer their top teachers a chance to sign four-year contracts in exchange for pay raises totaling $5,000 while gradually eliminating tenure.
By 2018, all teachers will work under one-, two- or four-year contracts that replace tenure rights requiring school administrators to follow a defined process when firing a teacher.
Critics of tenure in the Republican-led General Assembly approved the change because they said rules make it difficult to get rid of ineffective teachers once they qualify for the protections after four years of teaching.
Currently, one out of every nine teachers in the state earns the lowest annual salary of $30,800. They're eligible for their first built-in raise after five years, which bumps their salary to $31,220.
North Carolina's average teacher last year made nearly $10,000 less than the national average of $55,418. Five years ago, N.C. ranked in the middle for teacher pay.
Within the last five years, the state has lost more than 4,000 teachers with up to three years of experience.
NCAE is planning to file a lawsuit in the coming months to challenge the elimination of teacher tenure, said Ann McColl, the organization's top lawyer. The lawsuit is likely to argue that the state would be violating the contractual rights of teachers who have either enjoyed the job protections or were on their way to earning them, she said.
Many teachers saw tenure as balancing low pay, she said.

Oscar Pistorius charged with premeditated murder of girlfriend; defense calls it an accident
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Olympian Oscar Pistorius fired into the door of a small bathroom where his girlfriend was cowering after a shouting match on Valentine's Day, hitting her three times, a South African prosecutor said Tuesday as he charged the sports icon with premeditated murder.
Pistorius sobbed softly as his lawyer insisted that Reeva Steenkamp's shooting was an accident.
"She couldn't go anywhere. You can run nowhere," prosecutor Gerrie Nel said at a bail hearing.
The shooting death has shocked South Africans and many around the world who idolized Pistorius for overcoming adversity to become a sports champion, competing in the London Olympics last year in track besides being a Paralympian. Steenkamp, 29, was a model and law graduate who made her debut on a South African reality TV program on Saturday, two days after her death..
Nel said the couple had had a shouting match and Steenkamp fled to the bathroom, down a seven-meter (yard) passage from the bedroom, and locked herself in. He said the 26-year-old Pistorius got up from bed and had to put on his prosthetic legs to reach the toilet door.
Senators working on immigration overhaul weigh uniting families vs. employment needs
WASHINGTON (AP) — If America is a nation of immigrants, it's also a nation of immigrants' husbands, wives, parents and children — and their brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews too.
That could begin to change under legislation being written in the Senate, where the nation's longstanding emphasis on family-based immigration is coming under scrutiny.
Unlike most other industrialized nations, the U.S. awards a much larger proportion of green cards to family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents than to foreigners with job prospects here. About two-thirds of permanent legal immigration to the U.S. is family-based, compared with about 15 percent that is employment-based, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The remainder is largely humanitarian.
It's a lopsided ratio that may change under a bill being crafted by a Senate bipartisan negotiating group that is aiming to release legislation next month.
Several senators involved in the talks said employment-based immigration must increase to help American competitiveness and the U.S. economy. High-tech companies have been pleading for more workers, and some Republicans, in particular, believe the educational backgrounds and employment potential of prospective immigrants should be a bigger part of the calculus in awarding green cards, the permanent resident visas that are the key step toward citizenship.
With source of fire that disabled Carnival cruise ship known, Coast Guard seeks to learn more
ATLANTA (AP) — Now that investigators have determined the origins of the engine-room fire that paralyzed a Carnival cruise ship at sea for five days, they will try to learn more about the cause, the crew's response, and why the ship was disabled for so long.
A Coast Guard official said Monday that a leak in a fuel oil return line caused the engine-room fire that disabled the Carnival Triumph in the Gulf of Mexico, leaving 4,200 people without power or working toilets for five days.
Cmdr. Teresa Hatfield addressed the finding in a conference call with reporters. She estimated that the investigation of the disabled ship would take six months.
Hatfield said the Bahamas — where the ship is registered, or flagged — is leading the investigation, with the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board representing U.S. interests in the probe. The vessel was in international waters at the time of the incident.
She said investigators have been with the massive 14-story vessel since it arrived Thursday in Mobile, Ala. They have interviewed passengers and crew, and forensic analysis has been performed on the ship.
House Democrats in Colorado narrowly pass gun control bills under watchful eye of White House
DENVER (AP) — Colorado's Democratic-controlled House has narrowly passed a handful of gun control bills, signaling a political shift in the wake of recent mass shootings and pressure from the White House.
"Enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of bloodshed," said Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, who sponsored a bill limiting the size of ammunition magazines. Fields, whose son was fatally shot in 2005, represents the district where a gunman opened fire at a suburban Denver movie theater last summer.
The bill was among four that the legislative chamber passed Monday amid strong resistance from Republicans, who were joined by a few Democrats. The ammunition restrictions measure passed 34-31 after three Democrats joined all Republicans voting no.
House lawmakers began debating Friday, when Vice President Joe Biden called four Democrats to solidify support for the measures. Two were in moderate districts.
Castle Rock Republican Rep. Carole Murray made a reference to the calls on Monday, saying she didn't appreciate "East Coast politicians" trying to influence Colorado legislators.
8 armed men drive onto tarmac of Brussels airport and steal diamonds worth millions from plane
BRUSSELS (AP) — Police on Tuersday were looking for eight men who made a hole in a security fence of Brussels' international airport, drove onto the tarmac and robbed tens of millions of dollars worth of diamonds from the hold of a Swiss-bound plane.
Brussels prosecutor's spokeswoman Anja Bijnens said Tuesday the armed and masked men used two vehicles in their daring Monday raid and within minutes made their way to the plane, took the cache of stones and drove off into the darkness.
Police found a burnt-out vehicle close to the airport later Monday night but said it was still looking for clues.
The heist was estimated at some 50 million dollars in diamonds, said Caroline De Wolf of the Antwerp World diamond Centre.
"What we are talking about is obviously a gigantic sum," De Wolf told VRT network.
For younger vets, getting home often trumps job considerations
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two months after completing his five-plus years as an Army medic, Dan Huber is still looking for a job. And while he's had some promising interviews, he has no assurances the search will end soon.
That's given him some insight that he shares with some of his buddies back at Fort Polk in Louisiana: Don't wait until you've left the military to determine how you'll make ends meet as a civilian.
"I've told them: 'Hey, man, you guys have really got to start planning months and months in advance. It's not just planning for interviews. It's planning to make sure you'll be afloat in this time period, which you don't know how long will take,'" said Huber, 26, of Waukesha, Wis.
Although veterans as a whole have a lower unemployment rate than the nation at large, younger veterans who served in the years following the Sept. 11 attacks are having a much harder time finding work.
The unemployment rate for veterans between 18 and 24 exceeded 20 percent last year. It was also in double digits for those 25-34. The unemployment rate for both age groups was higher than for their nonveteran peers and much higher than the national average.
Indiana farmer is the face of Supreme Court patent fight over genetically engineered soybeans
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vernon Hugh Bowman seems comfortable with the old way of doing things, right down to the rotary-dial telephone he said he was using in a conference call with reporters.
But the 75-year-old Indiana farmer figured out a way to benefit from a high-technology product — soybeans that are resistant to weed-killers — without always paying the high price that such genetically engineered seeds typically bring. In so doing, he ignited a legal fight with seed-giant Monsanto Co. that has now come before the Supreme Court, with arguments taking place Tuesday.
The court case poses the question of whether Bowman's actions violated the patent rights held by Monsanto, which developed soybean and other seeds that survive when farmers spray their fields with the company's Roundup brand weed-killer. The seeds dominate American agriculture, including in Indiana, where more than 90 percent of soybeans are "Roundup Ready."
Monsanto has attracted a bushel of researchers, universities and other agribusiness concerns to its side because they fear a decision in favor of Bowman would leave their own technological innovations open to poaching. The company's allies even include a company that is embroiled in a separate legal battle with Monsanto over one of the patents at issue in the Bowman case.
The Obama administration also backs Monsanto, having earlier urged the court to stay out of the case because of the potential for far-reaching implications for patents involving DNA molecules, nanotechnologies and other self-replicating technologies.
Retrial hearing for Drew Peterson highlights fight: current attorneys vs. former lead lawyer
CHICAGO (AP) — Drew Peterson's defense lawyers were a united, wisecracking front during most of the former suburban Chicago police officer's 2012 trial, and rarely without their dark sunglasses. But by the time Peterson was found guilty of killing his third wife, the counsel's bond was irreparably fractured.
The public verbal sparring between former lead trial counsel Joel Brodsky and colleague-turned-nemesis Steve Greenberg will come to a head Tuesday at a hearing in Will County. The defense plans to argue that Peterson deserves a new trial because Brodsky botched the first.
If Will County Judge Edward Burmila rejects the motion for a retrial, he has said he will move on to the sentencing phase. Peterson, 59, faces a maximum 60-year prison term for murdering Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub with a gash on her head.
The legal team's infighting is the latest twist in the peculiar saga of the former Bolingbrook police sergeant, who gained notoriety after his much younger fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007.
Disagreements among the counsel during trial are not uncommon, said Chicago-area defense attorney Gal Pissetzky, but such spats spilling into public view are.
Microsoft looks to regain leadership in email with marketing blitz for launch of Outlook.com
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft is so confident it has the Internet's best email service that it is about to spend at least $30 million to send its message across the U.S.
The barrage begins Tuesday when Microsoft's twist on email, Outlook.com, escalates an assault on rival services from Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc. and a long list of Internet service providers.
As part of the process, all users of Microsoft's Hotmail and other email services operating under different domains such as MSN.com will be automatically converted to Outlook.com by the summer, if they don't voluntarily switch before then. All the old messages, contacts and settings in the old inboxes will be exported to Outlook.com. Users will also be able to keep their old addresses.
Email remains a key battleground, even at a time when more people are texting each other on phones.
People still regularly check their inboxes, albeit increasingly on their smartphones. The recurring email habit provides Internet companies a way to keep people coming back to websites. It gives people a reason to log in during their visits so it's easier for email providers to track their activities. Frequent visits and personal identification are two of the keys to selling ads, the main way most websites make money.
Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who lived Hollywood dream while leading team to 10 titles, dies at 80
Jerry Buss had been a chemist and a mathematician long before he bought the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979. The self-made millionaire with a head for business and an impresario's heart assailed the NBA with every skill he acquired along the way.
With his personal alchemy and charisma, he blended two generations of marquee basketball stars and big-name coaches into 10 championship teams. His financial wizardry allowed him to pay top dollar to get the best players and keep them together without a huge personal fortune.
Buss built a glittering life for himself and the Lakers, playing a huge role in the NBA's move from a second-tier pro sport into can't-miss Hollywood entertainment while polishing his oddly nicknamed franchise into a glamorous global brand.
Magic, Kareem and Big Game James. Kobe, Shaq and Pau.
They were the stars, but Buss created Showtime.

Love the sweetp
Rough area, hotel is now run down... Needs a major face lift! Breakfast was very poor.
Reasonably close to attractions in Chicago, barber shop downstairs is fantastic.
No fridge, no real water pressure in shower, small bathroom.
Wi-fi speed is very slow.
The hotel staff was very friendly.
Fist morning on our stay, I woke up with little red itchy scars on my legs and arms. I didn't take them into consideration because I thought I was bitten by mosquitoes. The next day the scars got worse and they were itchier. Then I thought they were allergies caused by the different food we tried in San Francisco. However, when I come back home I learned from a doctor that those scars were bed bug bites. I was very scared because they might have traveled back home with me. I asked for a bed bug detection and now my house is being disinfected. Opal is my worst hotel experience. The bed sheets and towels were not clean and they were smelly. Although the hotel room was spacious the window was looking at the dark area between the blocks so the room was very dark. The breakfast was very plain. The neighborhood is dangerous because it is in the border of Tenderloin area.
- Great location, close to Fishermans W, close to Union Square (under 60min walk) - Good wifi - Brad at the reception is an awesome guy
- the neighborhood is not the best, lots of homeless people - staff is uninterested except for Brad he's just awesome! - breakfast is a joke (paper plates, plastic cups, everyday the same food)
bad location bad staffs bad Clearness Bad comfort Bad in Every Things
Very good hotel in a nice part of San Francisco. Everything was of a very good standard.
Breakfast could have had more choice.
I had my room ready and clean from the first day. Nice staff.
Old hotel, poor breakfast.
Parking availability and cst
Service very accurate
Noises coming from the adjacent room, isolation not too good
Location, affordable, easy to get around with public transportation
A little to close to tenderloin area
The bed was clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful. Easy access to public transportation. Good value for the money
the area was a little rough
The staff were very helpful especially Sergio!
A comfortable older style Hotel.
I felt unsafe in the area surrounding the Hotel.
The room (2-queen) was very large, with a walk-in closet and a sitting area. It would have been comfortable to stay for several nights, even with a group of four in the room.
The vending machine didn't work and I lost $2.
Never had so little for my money. The carpets will old and dirty. The smell was terrible. There were very few amneties in the room. No coffee maker, no refrigerater, no security box. Decoration was old and unattractive. The breakfast was terrible. No whole wheat bread or bagels. Only the flour based bread. No milk to drink. The ran out fruit and yogourt often. There was no variety of food to pick from. It was either toast, hard boiled eggs or yogourt and fruit salade. I will never go back there.
All the hotel staff we met were very friendly and helpful.
There was no kettle in the room for tea. We enjoyed drinking tea in the lobby (it was a lovely area to sit and tea & coffee making facilities were there) however the hot water was sometimes empty in the lobby and this was disappointing when the plan was to have a cuppa before going to bed.
Location is great, near to bus stop and close to most of sightseing. Breakfast was fair. Large Room.
Restaurants near by.
No fridge in the room. Parking prices.
The staff was amazing, especially Ofelia; she guided us expertly which made our trip. The location was very good easy access to public transportation and tours as well as walking distance to Union Square. Would recommend and would go back.
The lobby needs sprucing up especially the carpeting. Breakfast could have been healthier and room cleanliness couldve been better it wasnt dirty but dont like bedspreads they skeeve me.
Just renovated room Good continental breakfast Location; on walking distance of Union square Good restaurant accessible from hotel lobby
Breakfast space to crowded
It had a historical look as I expected it would be, loved it. Mel's restaurant made it so easy for dinner when we arrived and breakfast in the morning.
Clean hotel. Friendly staff. Well-connected location.
Wifi connection in my room was sometimes weak and unstable. Breakfast.

In our modern life we have many myths about first love, and we gladly buy into most of them. For example, everyone says that you never forget your first romantic love, and of course that's true. But it's also true that you mostly remember the good and beautiful things that happened in a rosy, romantic glow, while you conveniently forget the bad – the awkwardness, the not knowing what to do, the feeling that you could mess this up at any time, that there must be some mistake, and so on.
Maybe by "never forget," we really mean that all subsequent romances pale in comparison – that there will never be another love like the first one. Again, in many ways that's accurate, because there can only be one first love ever by definition, just like there can only be one first kiss, first date, first make out session, etc. It's the newness that we miss, the intensity that comes from a new experience. Intensity certainly happens in mature romance, but there's nothing like that sense of being young and in love for intensity that's one of a kind and then gone forever.
There is a sweet quality to the first love that we miss as well, a sweetness that can only come from innocence moving into experience – something else that can only happen once, and then everything changes forever. And the other facet of first love that we miss is the romantic sensibility of youth – we didn't have to worry about niceties like being polite, being thoughtful, being considerate – not to say that we were mean, but it wasn't as important as just being there, and being in the moment, being in the haze of youthful love.
So it's alright if you miss the romance of your first love, because while the rosy glow can never be relived, you can use the memory of that time to propel you into the present, and to improve your love life in the here and now. Remembering that all-important first love can help you regain a spark that might be missing in your current situation. If you think about your earliest romance, you'll undoubtedly dredge up some memories that aren't so sweet – those clumsy moments when you should have said something, those times when you weren't very romantic but were definitely more selfish.
Take those lessons in how not to be romantic and use them to be a better lover and romantic partner. Look at your wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, and imagine that he or she is your very first love. Remember how you felt at the slightest touch, how you seemed to thrill to your very soul just to hear his or her voice. Take that feeling and let it flow into the present. The love of your life is the one you're with right now. Your partner deserves to feel like the first, so go ahead and miss the romance of your first love – but use it to make your present a better one for both of you.

P&G beats expectations as activist presses change
Warren Buffett will be a major beneficiary if Bill Ackman's activism pays off.
Procter & Gamble's (PG) better-than-expected third-quarter earnings may help the company's embattled Chief Executive Bob McDonald prove his plan to cut billions in costs is working.
P&G's Thursday earnings also signal that an activist push by William Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management is bearing fruit for investors, as some top shareholders -- like Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) -- hit the exits.
At issue for P&G is whether McDonald can lead a right-sizing of the consumer products giants' costs, as investors like Ackman of Pershing Square clamor for C-Suite change and a refocus on new product research and development.
After taking a $1.8 billion stake in P&G in July, Ackman is reported to have called for McDonald's head after two years of flat share performance, earnings misses and spiraling costs that cut into new product development, according to September reports from the Wall Street Journal.
When Ackman unveiled his P&G stake, some speculated the activist investor would push a split-up of the maker of Gillette, Duracell and Tide products, following previous break-ups at consumer products companies like Fortune Brands (FBHS). Prior to the investment, analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein said the company should consider a split if earnings don't improve.
While McDonald remains at the helm of P&G and the company's conglomerate structure is intact, the CEO has outlined a multi-year, $10 billion cost saving plan that falls in-line with some complaints expressed by Ackman, according to Wall Street Journal reports.
Thursday's earnings, which beat a low bar of expectations, signaled that McDonald is making progress in his plan to cut $10 billion in costs by 2016 and layoff 4,100 workers by 2013.
For Buffett, who pared his P&G holdings by 19% in the second quarter, according to Bloomberg data, a turn in the company's performance may help the Oracle of Omaha profitably exit a position that still stands in excess of $4 billion and is one of Berkshire Hathaway's largest stock holdings.
That would come as the value investing legend says he's out of ideas on how to turn around P&G after shares had stalled at the $60-level since late 2009, significantly underperforming the S&P 500 ($INX)
"What goes on inside the place, what mistakes have been made, what the plans are, I don't know the answers on that," Buffett said to CNBC on Wednesday. "The jury's out on that now, because they have disappointed in terms of earnings and we'll see what happens. I know the board is actively engaged and trying to come up with a strategy they think makes sense to take the earnings forward," he added in the TV interview.
At this point, it is Ackman who may be more engaged with P&G and who might have the biggest impact on whether large shareholders like Buffett see stock gains headed into 2013.
On Thursday, P&G reported net income off $2.81 billion, or 1.06 a share, excluding one-time items, beating analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg of 96 cents a share. The Cincinnati-based company also forecast 2012 earnings per share (EPS) of between $3.80 and $4, meeting previous guidance.
While the quarterly earnings beat is helping to drive P&G stock to five-year highs above $70 a share, the report doesn't mark the end of the company's turnaround campaign.
"We think the company has set fairly low expectations for the quarter," said JPMorgan analyst John Faucher of an expected beat, in a research note published ahead of earnings.
While P&G did beat Faucher's estimates, the company fell short on the analyst's optimism that it would boost EPS guidance past $4 a share or grow top-line sales.
Still, as Ackman wields his activist techniques to prod change at P&G, Faucher's optimistic the company can pull out of an earnings rut in coming years.
"Although the valuation of the stock has moved up, we think the company's execution and potential acceleration of its cost-savings program, together with improvement in share trends, may lead to further upside," wrote the analyst on Wednesday.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

Your best bet IMHO is to join up at Benefits and Work and look through their archives for similar cases and find out what to do.
Also you can tell your MP and ask them to intervene. Sometimes having an MP sniffing around works wonders!

Posted by M M (U14200747) on Monday, 6th June 2011
My Autistic son has his MR DLA removed at age 16, we are finding it very difficult to get much response at ALL. It's been over 3 months and they are making us wait. Currently he gets nothing and neither do we for his care either, and they said we might have to hand in his bus pass too because without DLA you don't qualify for it. I've had the DWP in my home and he appeared satisfied that in fact my son qualified for HR DLA and should have had it day one, however he then vanished and we have heard nil since... My son has had to really all over again and the DWP are working on the basis no-one is qualified for it ! They will deter as much as possible because they say statistically 20% of people will then give up pushing for the claim, win-win for them. It's appalling they are targeting our children, who cannot fight for themselves...

Is it us or has this 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer lost its roof? Okay, it's most definitely not us. It's actually a standard Trailblazer except for the fact that it has been stripped away of its top. We can't say that it's a convertible because it sure as heck doesn't look the part. However, other than the discarded roof, it still looks pretty much the same: it's got seven seats and it's a 4-wheel-drive.
And according to the man who's selling this ride - yes, he's selling it; if you can believe that - it's got some celebrity cred attached to it after it was supposedly used during a past Rose Bowl parade. Maybe that explains the missing roof. In any case, the car can be yours for only $15,000, an amount that seems to be bargain for a Trailblazer that only has 29,500 miles on it. Then again, it's doesn't have a roof, which, as far as we're concerned, is a pretty big sticking point.

Apr 15 2013: I would love to hear Abraham Lincoln speak about leadership. Lincoln is the type of leader I love looking into. I believe he would motivate the crowd about standing about for what they believe in. I also believe he would discuss how we as people need to stop giving up so quickly. A lot of people today have lost courage, but Lincoln would find a way to bring that spark back.

Phoenix-area man pleads not guilty in bouncer's death
SCOTTSDALE -- A 26-year-old Tempe man has pleaded not guilty in the stabbing death of a Scottsdale nightclub bouncer who was a former Arizona State University football player.
Ian MacDonald entered the plea Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court, nearly three weeks after he was arraigned on a second-degree murder charge.
Investigators said Tyrice Thompson, 27, of Laveen was stabbed five times in the back, hip, and arm after an early-morning altercation at Martini Ranch on Jan. 27.
They said MacDonald admitted being involved in the fight but denied stabbing Thompson.
Thompson played tight end and receiver for the Sun Devils from 2003 to 2007.
He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Indianapolis Colts, but didn't play in a NFL game.

Say goodbye to the warm weather we had earlier this week and hello to a trend of cooler weather!
Headed out the door this morning look for morning lows in the 40s with partly cloudy skies.
This afternoon we'll see the gusty winds pick up and highs, closer to seasonal, but much cooler than what we've seen the last couple days. Highs in the upper 40s around lunch time.
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Thursday afternoon through Friday morning for portions of Lewis, South Nez Perce counties, the Washington and Idaho Palouse, Central Panhandle Mountains.
South Shoshone county and Camas Prarie could see 4-8" of snow in the mountains, 2-4" in the valleys.

Electronic systems require at least 12.5 volts and a good ground. Use a voltmeter to make sure the last electrical connector before a console has at least 12.5 volts on the power pin. Connect ground wires for electronic consoles all the way back to the negative post on the battery.
Scraping the paint off a monitor bracket for a grounding point is risky for modern systems, which often operate internally on as little as 4 volts.

Home show features cool innovations, neat ideas
Got an extra room that's a little cool on these nippy spring nights? How about a nice cherry or pine corner bookcase with a 16,500 BTU gas fireplace in the top? Building a new house? How about using a technique that saves money and time and provides insulation whose R value ranges from 45 to 60 and can be used from the foundation to the roof peak?
That building technique uses what's known in the trade as insulated concrete forms (ICF). It will also sound-proof so well that you'll stop objecting to the neighbor kid's rock band. You won't even know about it.
These and a lot of other ideas were presented at last weekend's 25th annual Whatcom County Building Industry Association's home show at the Lynden Fairgrounds. Over 200 exhibitors showed their stuff to "about 13,000 folks, probably more, said Nick Hartrich, the show's coordinator. "It was the biggest one we've had," he said, "and it'll grow again next year, I presume."
If there was a theme, it might have been something like "the little guy." The buildings were filled with independent, local contractors, people who wanted to deliver service as well as a sale. Over and over again one could hear "Well, we'll stop by and take a look at your situation and help you think of some things you can do."
For personalities, the show featured gardening guru Cisco Morris from Seattle's KIRO to answer questions and generally promote anything green except the Green Giant. The Hemplers, Birch Bay meat mongers since the 1930s, had their kielbasas waiting and ready to deliver dripping with sauerkraut and onions for the footsore and show-weary.
Innovations for Quality Living in Bellingham had the fireplace in a corner cupboard at their display. They called it a "bed and breakfast" model since it's designed to heat a 650-square-foot room, or one that's about 25 feet by 25 feet, something to keep in mind if you're turning your garage into a study. And in the model they had, it was in the top of the cabinet, not the bottom, so you could show it off like a sculpture.
The fireplace goes for about $1,200 and the cabinet is about $900, and while it's beefier than most for the weight of the fireplace, there's no clearance requirement for the unit once installed. Darryl Jones of Innovations said that there are lots of installation options. "We'll sell you the cabinet, or give your contractor the specs, or teach you to frame it in yourself," Jones said.
The ICF construction technique involves using a double wall of styrofoam that's joined together with metal cross-ties that are fitted into each side with a webbed base. The space between the vertical walls is then filled with concrete. Because the load that puts on the styrofoam walls from the inside is so well controlled with the cross-ties, "we can continuously fill the wall, moving around and around the structure, instead of having to wait for it to dry as in regular concrete work using wood forms," said Eric Stroschein of Pacific ICF in Mount Vernon. "The R value approaches 60 on these walls, and they're sound proof," he said, "and recently our product was chosen for building by a Habitat for Humanity project in Olympia because of the energy savings the new owner will realize."

By Dawn Klingensmith CTW Features
Job candidates with enough time on their hands can script and rehearse answers to just about any interview question imaginable, because so many books and online resources provide the "right" responses. But employers are usually a few steps ahead, devising ways to catch candidates off-guard. One such tactic is to take the job interview out of its usual setting.
Candidates generally understand that a lunch or dinner invitation is an extension of the interview process, not a signal from the employer that a job offer is just a rib eye steak and champagne toast away. But what about a facility tour led by a receptionist or summer intern? What if the office softball team is short a player, so the candidate gets pressed into service, seemingly on the spur of the moment?
These may be "stealthy" interview tactics, designed to learn more about a candidate than is typically revealed in more formal settings.
"A lot of people are only 'on' when they think they're directly in an interviewing situation or with people they think they need to impress versus people they think are beneath them," says Jeff Haden, a writer for the CBS News business blog www.bnet.com. "What tends to happen is the person is really polite, courteous and engaged in front of decision-makers."
But leave them in the company of an underling and they reveal themselves to be power mongers, complainers, gossipers or worse.
Haden learned about "stealth tours" some time ago, when he was a manufacturing supervisor. His boss asked him to show around a candidate who apparently thought Haden was "just a shop floor guy." The candidate said he thought the boss was a jerk and asked if there were policies against dating fellow employees. The boss had planned on hiring the candidate until Haden reported how the tour went.
Hiring managers may enlist tour guides and subordinates to ask seemingly innocuous questions about personal interests and goals. "One candidate went on about wanting to get her master's degree in an unrelated field," says J. P. Sniffen, a San Diego-based recruiter for Orion International, Cary, N.C.
Sniffen recently invited a job applicant to play Frisbee football with his office mates. It wasn't so much a fraternal gesture of acceptance as a test to see if the candidate would fit in with the competitive corporate culture. Playing enthusiastically but poorly would not have been a deal breaker. But standing on the sidelines would have called his candidacy into question.
