Singapore-based commodities company Olam International has succeeded in gaining more than 90% of takeover target NZ Farming Systems Uruguay, allowing it to take it private.
Olam had 90.19% of Farming Systems, enough to compulsorily acquire the rest, it says in a statement today. It offered 75 cents a share last month to mop up the 14% of Farming Systems it did not already own in its second attempt to get to 100% of the target after taking control last year.
Shares of Farming Systems last traded at 73 cents, giving it a market value of $178 million. The stock is up about 12% this year.
The company first listed in December 2007 with the aim of building a dairying business based on New Zealand farming techniques in the South American country, where land was comparatively cheap and the industry relatively undeveloped.
In August it announced it had missed its guidance with a full-year loss of $US7.6 million and signalled plans to raise $US135 million to repay a debt to its controlling shareholder Olam.

Seems I'm a little late to the party, but in the off chance Blizzard is watching:
Seriously. One of the few things Bioware did amazingly well in SWTOR was their questing. As much as Bioware has a lot to learn about making MMOS, Blizzard could, and should take something from this.
I know that my favorite and most memorable quest line, other than the battle for Undercity, was the Benediction / Anathema quests. Many peasants died before I finally earned my stave, but hey that was the point right? It wasn't easy but it was totally worth it, and I felt like a better Priest after it was all said and done.

High School Reunion Speech
WHEN DOROTHY SHEPPARD called in March to ask if I would speak a moment at our 50th year reunion, I was quite complimented. I thought she must remember graduation and the "fabulous" speech I made there. Then I wondered what in the world it was I spoke about, and I couldn't begin to remember. One thing about it, however, it was short. So perhaps that was the key to the invitation.
Then a few days later I was thinking of mementous ideas to present, one of my patients won a $20 million lotto. Think of what you could do with a sum like that! Remember when we started out; $20 million would have probably bought all of East St. Louis.
Stamps were 2 cents for a letter-when they went to 3 cents our parents complained about the high cost of writing. Children's streetcar fares were 3 cents. Majestic matinees were 10 cents. Even ice cream cones (when we got them) were only 5 cents each. Jelly beans were 10 for a penny. We grew up in depression times. Since none of us had money, we were imbued with a great sense of equality. We adapted. We walked to school and church and parks. When our shoes wore out, they were resoled. (No $120 Adidas). We shined them at night to keep them presentable.
I remember the year I had only one pair of pants. Every evening I would brush them and hang them straight to be ready for the next day. And when the knees got baggy, I pressed them with a wet cloth. We all did similar things to keep going
Yet there were many activities we enjoyed. that helped us grow without dependence on money or technology. Few cars were on the streets so all kids could play ball in the readily available space. Our neighborhood had just one ball and one bat, but we had fun pickup games with anywhere from 3 to 20 kids. Once a year the East St. Louis journal took all the Knot Hole boys to Sportsman's Park to see the Cardinals-free!. I still remember when Dizzy Dean knocked a home run in the 10th inning to win a tied ball game.
There were no televisions to make us into zombies, and nintendo games weren't even anticipated. Radio had Amos and Andy at bedtime and Orphan Annie just after school. But newspapers had Buck Rogers and Terry and the Pirates, so we had to learn to read to enjoy them. And the library at 9th and State was so well stocked with adventure stories - all free.
Those were the days of family get-togethers, too. we knew our aunts and uncles and cousins. Indeed, many times there were 3 or 4 generations living together because of lack of employment. We learned to value each other and even how to quarrel fairly without mortally wounding the opponent. I can remember uncles talking vigorously about politics and religion and other violent subjects, then all going to sing together around the piano without any rancor left over.
All in all it was a great day to grow up. We had no money, but we learned to enjoy what was available. We were not confined to electronics but free to learn about nature, and physical activities, and each other. We picnicked in the parks and walked in the woods. We raised gardens and chickens. We cut grass without power mowers. We begged ice from the iceman and had milk delivered by a man with a horse and wagon.
We were poor, but not poverty stricken because we had purpose.
Since we were all in the same economic boat we needed no distinctions between abilities of boys and girls. We had a mixture of races - many of us first and second generation Americans - and knew possibilities were going to open up for us if we tried our best. There was no need to divide into little ethnic groups, because we lived in the Land of Opportunity for everyone. We did have various interests and abilities, but there would be room for all of them when we became adults.
So we grew up with the purpose of achieving. We were anxious to learn and to read through, actually, I never appreciated "Mill on the Floss". We knew iambic pentameter, a2 + b2 = C2, Brownian movements, Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, the Gettysburg address, the difference between sentences needing so=as clauses from those requiring as-as clauses. We even knew that "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" was ear shatteringly bad grammar, and that boats "sank" rather than "sunk". "Whom" had its own place. Singular personal pronouns reflected singular nouns. Even "ain't" was a poor substitute for "is not".
We had heroes in those days. And our heros had no feet of clay. Washington was the father of our country, leader in war and peace. Lincoln was the great liberator who preserved the Union. Any president was our chosen leader and deserved our respect and support, even though he might be of a different political party. Ministers were selfless. Teachers had unlimited knowledge for us. Even Joe Louis was invincible in the boxing ring.
So we were willing to grow up with ideals. Our purpose was to have the facilities within to emulate the great people of our society. Then if greatness presented itself, we would be ready to accept it. If it did not, we could live normal, productive and secure lives and contribute to our own towns and neighborhoods.
Yes, we were poor, but purpose kept us going. We had reasons for pride.
Think of the teachers we had in those days! Coach Downing taught us to be and think as winners. Miss Healey knew we could learn to speak correct and understandable English. Miss Green made us sing in ways we never thought possible. Mr. Eros showed us the logic of chemistry. Miss Davis gave us Latin as a living language. And Mr. Baughman kept the whole high school running. We respected and somewhat feared our teachers but over-all knew them as friends.
Think of the things we learned in everyday life: how to work for the treasures we needed and wanted, how to help each other when the going was tough, where to look for information, how to plan for the future, how to stand on our own two feet when we were put on the spot.
Think of the confidence we had in each other. The students were the brightest. The girls were the prettiest. The football players were the winners. The cheerleaders were the peppiest. The musicians were the most accomplished. We had the pride of the Class of 1940.
We were proud because we knew hardship was just a step in making us self sufficient. We did not grow up to be forever dependent on the dole or the good will of others. We expected to be responsible, dependable and independent adults. We wanted to accept our roles in life, whatever those roles might be. And we wanted to be accepted because we were ready--not just because we eventually would reach the magic 21 years of maturity.
We were poor growing up. But we had purpose and pride.
One other thing we had, though we scarcely realized it and might even had denied it at the time. We had prayer. We had grown up in churches. We knew there were different faiths and different practices. Yet we saw our fellow classmates with the same ideals and the same sense of responsibility, and we knew behind us all was one vital Creator.
We didn't talk about prayer in those days. We didn't90 to the streets and demonstrate about the superficialities of religion. Nevertheless, the times did come when we depended on prayer. Since high school we have known war with its terrors. We have known life and death of friends and family. We have known financial and emotional trials. We have known fear and frustration. We have felt fatigue and despair. The right and ability to pray, as we learned 50 years and more ago, has continued' to sustain us through the years, and will sustain us the rest our course.
We are now entering the second half of the century since we left East Side. Middle age has become reality. We have losta number of our classmates. We now are the senior citizens society.
We have the possibility of telling our grandchildren and soon our great grandchildren how we all were poor, but we grew with purpose and pride, and we continued through adversity with prayer. We had patriotism and pragmatism, too, but time flies too fast to talk about them.
For years I have carried a clipping in my wallet. It is one that makes me think of our class and its possibilities for the future: "Live by the old ethics and the classical rules of honesty. Put no new names or notions on authentic virtues or vices. Think not that morality is ambulatory; that vices in one age are not vices in another: or that virtues, may be stumped by opinion. And therefore, though vicious times invent the opinion of things and set up new ethics against virtue, yet hold on to the old morality: and rather than follow the multitude to do evil, stand like Pompey's Pillars conspicuous by thyself and single in integrity".
It is this ability to stand alone for right and true progress we learned at East Side fifty years ago. It is this ability to endure which will bring us together again.
We have never been poor in spirit. We have been sustained by purpose, by pride, by prayer, by patriotism, and by pragmatism. Even after 50 years, we still anticipate the future as the East Side Class of 1940.

IRVING, Texas - Safety
McCray collided with safety
The impact looked much worse than a stinger. McCray said his arm went completely numb after the collision, but he was in good spirits after the game when he realized it wasn't serious or career-threatening.
"It varies from person to person. I've had stingers before," McCray said. "I've never had one that bad, so now I feel like I've had the worst and I've had one of the ones that go away after a couple of plays."
McCray initially thought he'd be able to return to practice the next week following the injury, but he said it took longer than anticipated to regain the strength in his arm. He also felt pain in his neck, making it difficult to turn his head or lean back.
"I tried to be optimistic about it, it just wasn't working out," McCray said. "It was a different part of the body. You don't want to take chances with your neck and the upper body area. If it was an elbow or something, I'd tape it up."
McCray, who was a full participant in Monday's practice, said he'll be ready for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The biggest issue for him Monday was conditioning, after missing two weeks of practice.
"It was a little rough to get back, but physically, everything felt good," McCray said. "It was a shell day, but we'll see what happens on Wednesday. All in all, it felt pretty good today."

G-Unot campaign may very well be over. That is, if 50 Cent accepts the Game's
request that the two once-affiliated rappers end their ongoing beef.
During an interview
in New York yesterday (Sept. 29) with Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez,
the Game extended an olive branch to his bitter rival, repeatedly urging 50 Cent
to call into the station. The
Compton-bred rapper also insisted he was sincere and said he hoped to find a resolution
with 50 Cent, who played an active role on his debut album The Documentary.
want] just to talk and just to see where our heads are and see if maybe we can
come to an even playing field — respectfully to each other," said the Game.
"[I want to] see if we can figure it out [as] grown-ups." In
February 2005, a man affiliated with the Game was shot in front of Hot 97's Manhattan
office building minutes after 50 Cent publicly kicked his West Coast counterpart
out of G-Unit during an on-air interview. The
pair would later reconcile at a highly-publicized press conference, but the Game
claimed the two weren't mentally prepared for it. "We
weren't ready to do that. You can't force us to do anything," he told Martinez.
"I don't think that either of us was ready to get on that stage." Game
further likened the failed resolution to removing a steak out of an oven before
it is done cooking. "You
bit into [the steak] and it wasn't ready because it wasn't done," he philosophized.
"We were just coerced into that situation. At the end of the day, we are
all getting money and it should be good. Its Hip-Hop, it's a competition."
Game sought to end his most salacious beef, he noted that his other rap rivals
won't be so fortunate. "Y'all
ain't off the hook. I don't want everybody to think that it's all good,"
he said, alluding to his recent altercation with rapper Ras Kass. "Tomorrow,
nothing is promised and that statement is bigger than Hip-Hop." Additionally,
Game re-confirmed that neither Dr. Dre, nor his beats, will appear on his sophomore
opus, The Doctor's Advocate, due in stores on Nov. 14. Game
stated, however, that he still has a good relationship with his mentor. "Dre
is not on the album. No Dre involvement on this album," he said. "If
you looking to buy my album just because Dre did a beat or two, leave it on the
shelf. This album is executive-produced by the Game. Dre took me from the 'hood
and gave me an opportunity so I'm always going to pay him that respect."

Dark Horse Redefines The Vampire With New Digital Sampler
- Written by Jude Terror on Tuesday, May 29 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
These are not your mother's vampires! You know, the ones she keeps in that steamy romance novel on her nightstand!
Teen angst, sexy shirtless men, endless brooding, statuatory rape, poorly written erotica, sparkles... No, it's not an Outhouse staff writers' retreat! These are the things that have defined vampires for hundreds of years, but in a new digital sampler from Dark Horse, the company is showing off some vampires that are unconventional... and perhaps even scary! It's a novel idea, and we here at Team Edward do hope that it can inject some new unlife into the vampire mythos.
Here's the press release:
Dark Horse Does Vampires Right Digital Sampler
If you've got a taste for bloodsuckers, then look no further! Dark Horse does vampires right and gives readers who crave creatures of the night a crypt full of creepy comics!
Step into the world of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9, as everyone's favorite Slayer adapts to her new life in San Francisco. Then check out Angel & Faith, where the vampire with a soul and the once-evil Slayer work to atone for past sins.
This preview issue also features Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's Baltimore, which follows a vampire hunter living in a world beset by a post–World War I vampire infestation; samples from P. C. and Kristin Cast's story of a vampyre boarding school in House of Night; and Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain, in which Manhattan suffers from a vampiric plague!
• Issue features selections from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #1,Angel & Faith #1, Baltimore: The Curse Bells #1, The Strain #1, and House of Night #1. Plus, the entirety of a short story entitled "Magical Mystery Tour Featuring the Beetles," a previously unreleased, digital-only retailer exclusive from Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9.

Whether or not nuclear weapons are ever abolished, mankind will still know how to make them, right?
Posts Tagged: Nonproliferation
Just how vulnerable to compromise are nuclear-weapons programs?
Conservatives and progressives are completely at odds over how to reduce the nuclear threat.
Facing famine, North Korea may be prepared to make concessions with its nuclear-weapons program.
Nuclear abolition is becoming a house divided against itself.
Conservatives believe that U.S. disarmament holds no water with Tehran.
There are plenty of options to prevent proliferation other than force.
Thousands of peace activists recently gathered in New York to demand a nuclear-free world. Are the media and the president listening?
The director of the Arms Control Association debates a Fellow of the Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy on the way out of the current crisis in nuclear arms control.
Does the current crisis over the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran mean that the nuclear nonproliferation regime should be strengthened and reformed, or scrapped? Here is an argument for scrapping it.

Testing the Multiproduct Hypothesis on Norwegian Aluminium Industry Plants
AbstractAlthough most production activities involve multiple outputs, econometric models of production or cost functions normally involve only one single homogeneous output. The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that a multiproduct specification is superior to a model with a single homogenous product. To do this, we use a Multiproduct Symmetric Generalized McFadden (MSGM) cost function. This functional form is globally concave and flexible in the sense that it provides a second order differentiable approximation of any arbitrary cost function which is twice continuously differentiable and linear homogenous in input prices. In an empirical application on a panel data from ten Norwegian primary aluminium plants, we find support for our hypothesis. We present estimates of price elasticities, returns to scale and scope, and product specific demand elasticities. Our results indicate economies of scope, i.e. it is more profitable to produce more than one output, and show sensitivity of factor demand when the product mix changes.

Fun Magnets for Kids?

This magnet is hilarious and my toddler LOVES it - http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-Fridge-Farm-Magnetic-Animal/dp/B0001X0DR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345209002&sr=8-1&keywords=barn+magnet
We don't have many toys that talk and sing, but this one is great and would be a fun addition to your wall.
We have the farm set by Shure, they make lots of other sets and they are really cute!
LeapFrog Fridge Phonics http://goo.gl/TBQ0N
we are just doing the same thing this week! we bought magnetic primer, but then returned it and bought sheet metal from a local contractor, as it was almost the same price. i want this: http://www.bernhard-burkard.com/index.php?/projects/plama--marble-run-2d/. but i will probably settle for frigits or something less expensive.
I bought a US map puzzle and plan on placing adhesive magnet backings on each piece for our magnet board.
also, have them pick out a magnet from the souvenir shop at any place you visit
My little girl loves these dinosaurs magnets : http://www.melissaanddoug.com/wooden-dinosaur-magnets
Our fridge is a magnetic toy mess! We do have the large magnetic letters and our 3 year old is very interested in putting together strings of letters and asking us to "read" her word. We love these magnetic stacking acrobats and even adults enjoy playing with them http://www.giggle.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-giggle-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=0004086431&gclid=CPbLifz-7rECFQkaQgodbnMAZg
We also have these magnetic gears and even the 10 month old plays with them http://www.constructiveplaythings.com/cgi-bin/s.sh/2.0/product.htm?pf_id=CYI-30
I would love to add one of these magnetic puzzles to the collection once the baby is beyond the choking on things stage http://thewoodenwagon.com/woodentoy/NA/GSH91167.html
We have the Tomy set, which is popular with my toddler and anyone visiting, but it's only five pieces and the toddler is convinced that one of the pieces should not be used and banishes it under the fridge. I think I may have to order the Magnetic Gears as a supplement. (The Tomy pieces are a bit more interesting...)
the djeco brand is also really cute and creative. here is an example...http://www.amazon.com/Djeco-Wooden-Magnet-Crazy-Animals/dp/B000VIYCTG
These are amazing and bring hours of fun:
Also we have the Melissa and Doug ones which my little one likes:
I would recommend the Mudpuppy magnetic shapes magnets. They made letters, numbers, fruits and vegatables, and farm animals. I have a two year old and we have the letters, numbers and fruits and veggies and she loves them all. We also have the Leap Frog fridge farm, which she liked more when she was younger, but still plays with from time to time.
My kids absolutely love these Q-Man magnets!

Great! Now at least I got something to cheer up with after having a hard exam just now. Oh yeah, 12dailypro just paid me this morning with $99.30. I still have $492 pending for payment which suppose to get it by tomorrow morning but since tomorrow is Sunday I think I'll only get paid on Monday instead. They only pay on business days which not including Saturday and Sunday. The only thing is.. I only get $593 in the end and not $600. I miscalculated the profits after all.
how do you cash it out ? wire transfer to local banks ? im newbie in 12dp.
http://www.m3nghua.com ^||DaReDeviL||^
12dailypro only deal with egold or stormpay. So every payout is to egold or stormpay depends on which processor u used to upgrade with. so u can either sell off ur egold to others with the rate u guys agree with.

Velocity, spectacle, sexy actors and lense flares. This isn't exactly what Gene Roddenberry originally had in mind, but the difference of having now two VERY good Star Trek movies in a row, which is unprecedented, is most welcome.
J.J. Abrams has always been less of a Trekkie and more for being one with the Force. The guy's already had great practice for directing his own Star Wars movie, seeing as how he's already made two, almost accidentally, but at the price for toying with a sci-fi universe that mountains of people care way more about than he does. Still, the guy is undeniably terrific at his job. Whatever he's potentially doing wrong with this franchise, he sure as hell does it right!
|We liked The Awesome Spectable, The Intensity, Cumberbatch's Performance, The Drama, and The Terrific Score.
|We disliked Script Contrivances, and Anti-Climax.

I love the denim skirt – really cute. Yowsa, that neckline really could be indecent! Could you get away with just making bigger tucks to close it up a bit? It is a nice style so worth getting right :)
Knip-tastic: Refashioned Denim Mini-Skirt
What my hair looks like after 20 minutes in a motorcycle helmet. Denim from an old pair of men's jeans. Belt carriers, original.
After 20 minutes on the scooter. I should've left the pockets off but they're functional and I like that.
This next one's gonna be a bit of a shocker.
When the necklines' so low you need to string a dead animal around your neck to appear 'decent' in public.
When the only images of the garment are on a dummy, or worse, on an invisible dummy.
When leaning forward is no longer a socially acceptable option.
Accept that the finished garment will PG-13 on regular humans.
No I can't iron it. The iron does bad things to it even on a low setting. Also, I know I look like a debt collector. From the Sopranos
I love this pattern and I really love the mesh-backed sports knit that calicostretch sent me way back in September, 2012 (I made this months ago but it's been way to warm to wear it.) but I definitely need to do something about that neckline before I make the dress version. I've used the top for yoga and silks practice with Emily.
The contrast pockets looked cute when I sewed them in but they're totally useless for co-ordinating the skirt with anything in a useful manner. But this has already been discussed in detail.
Previously on denim jeans refashioning.
Top Pattern: Knipmode September 2012 Top/Dress 27/28 (I've made the top but the dress version is pretty much straight down from the hem on the top-i.e. no tapering from the hips on down).
Fabric: Sports knit from
Modifications: Shortened it at the waist.
Skirt Pattern:Knipmode February 2009, Skirt 3
Fabric: Denim harvested from Carl's old jeans (I used the original belt loops as is), Robert Kaufman Kitschy Kitchen remnant for the pockets, hammered hot pink silk lining (it's silk, it's invisible, 'nuff said), cotton remnant for inner waistband.
Modifications: None. Though I'll shorten it next time because the tapered hem interferes with my stride and my ability to get off my scooter and park it while simultaneously defying gravity.
Greige. I feel cheated. As if I'd been tricked into reading a 'women's interest' rag. Carl tricked me into reading the Daily Maul yesterday. This feels worse-possibly due to the fact that it works in both English and Dutch. My spirit rebels.

The skirt is fantastic! And I´m so sorry about the top, but worn like that, with a tank top is not so bad. You are so smart I know the dress version is going to be stunning!
This colour is great on you. I like a layered look anyway, but I am constantly duped by inaccurate illustrations/photographs. It's like some kind of observation test I am doomed to fail. So you are not alone! Anyway, I am always looking out for refashion inspiration so my eyes lit up when I saw your new skirt :) When I tried to make a skirt out of thick denim though my machine threw a massive fit, I was using topstitching thread which was really thick (with a denim needle). Your denim looks quite thick, did you use special topstitching thread and if so was it OK with your machine?
A very cute skirt! Too bad about the top.
Patched pockets – AMEN! Demin skirt – Bravo! I like the wide waistband and how it elongates natural curves! In general, this pattern is very, very, very unique! Love it! "Can you copy this pattern and send me!? I will pay" hihihi (Sorry, I am hysterical after the yesterday's typhoon and a long sleepless night).
I would not worry too much about the neckline! This top can be your wearable muslin and you'll be more than able to rise the neckline which you've already decided. The neckline may also look different in different fabric. Or maybe the whole Knipmode is a conspiracy!
The skirt design is great and there's always that balance between design and function that makes sewing a bit of a challenge. That shocker top is a layer of colour :)
Nothing better than a great denim skirt – I love this. I love the red of that top – it has a "I'm off to dance class" vibe!
BTW – love your tights.
Love the skirt. I'm all for a bit of upcycling, And the top is good with the vest under. You look great in that tank too.
I like this denim skirt, never thought that contrast pockets are useless but when you mention it… They really are.
The top isn't that bad, I kind of like the pattern although neckline is unruly.
You are so creative! I love how you used an old pair of jeans to make this!! It looks amazing with the PG-13 top.
That back with the intertwined straps is really cool!

Alexa Corner Cat Tree
How many times have you thought, "Gosh, I wish I could find a cat tree that would fit right in that empty corner"? Here you go! The Vertical Cat's Alexa Corner Cat Tree is a beautiful, contemporary cat tree that's sturdy enough for large cats, and that offers a stylish option for your decor. It fits into any corner and is made of oak-veneer plywood with your choice of five standard wood finishes: Clear Oak, Walnut, Burgundy, Black, or White. Or choose Unfinished for $15 less. Prefer a custom color? No problem! Go to the Minwax website or the Behr Paint website and choose a color. There's a $25 additional charge for the custom color option.
The "Alexa" Tree (named, like all the other cat trees, after the designer's grandkids) comes in three, four and five-foot heights -- and now in a new 6-foot as well, which allows the tree dwellers in your life to achieve great heights. Since the Alexa measures 23-3/4"W x 23-3/4"D, it's a nice, compact piece with a sturdy base that is perfect next to a bookcase or entertainment center, or near a sunny window.
The Alexa Tree has a varying number of steps, depending on the height. The three-foot has two steps, the four-foot has three steps, the five-foot has four steps, and the six-foot has five steps. Each step is large enough and solid enough, to make a good resting place for just about any size cat.
The steps have SmartStrand® eco-friendly carpet by Mohawk that can be removed for cleaning (hand wash with gentle soap, rinse, and hang to dry) or replacement. The carpet inserts are recessed into the wood to stay in place, and they are held down with hook and loop (aka Velcro®). They are available in standard colors of Light Brown, Dark Brown, Light Blue, Slate Gray, Off White, or Off Black. Or, for $30 additional, go really wild and specify a custom carpet color!
So if you're ready to say goodbye to carpet-covered cat trees that never seem clean and that don't last, consider another option. The Alexa Tree is a high quality piece of furniture that's built to last, easy to clean and that your cat will love, to boot!
Some assembly required.
Prices include shipping! A $5 handling charge from our supplier will be added at checkout. Because this item is custom made to order, please allow two weeks for building, and an additional week for shipping.

Norton Motorcycles has issued a press release noting another milestone in effort to return to the States: it has successfully completed durability and emissions testing for its Commando 961 Cafe Racer (pictured), 961 Sport and 961 SE bikes. Now the niche English motorcycle firm needs to submit and receive approvals for safety and compliance documentation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as complete other paperwork protocols for the Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. Then it can submit individual requests to each state, and assuming all of that goes well, it can start shipping its modern retro wares here.
That doesn't, however, mean you can expect to own a Norton as soon as the mountain of paperwork has been scaled. If an article called "Nortongate" on the motorcycle site Hell for Leather is to be believed, Norton is now very poorly run, citing a woeful record of failing to deliver bikes – not to mention properly engineering it 961 line. Thus, U.S. approvals might not mean much. Using public access documents and speaking to numerous customers and people that have worked for and done business with Norton all the way up to August of this year, the story makes it seem much more reasonable to take one's chances with a vintage Norton rather than the new ones ostensibly on the way.

Matthew / chapter 28 (read the chapter)
I love the way Matthew ends. Some might think it's anticlimactic, with so little detail given to the resurrection and what followed. But I actually think it's the best part: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (vs 20)
How do we really know that's true? If we can't see God with our eyes or hear Him with our ears or touch Him with our hands, how do we really know He's with us?
Because everything else Jesus said was true.
- He told the disciples He would be crucified and raised to life again.
- He warned Jerusalem that their city would be destroyed.
- He told Peter that he would deny Him.
- He told Judas that he would betray Him.
Everything He said happened just as He said it would. Everything He said was right and accurate and true. So, even though we can't see Him or hear Him or touch Him now, we can believe that He was just as right about being with us always as He was about coming back from the dead.
As Paul said, there is nothing—absolutely nothing—that can separate us from God. He is with us, always, whether we know it or not.
I don't know about you, but there are many days when I need that reminder. There are many days when it feels like nobody else is with me, when it even feels like everybody else is against me.
But we never need to feel hopeless in this world devoid of hope, because our God has promised that He will always be with us—even to the very end of the age. And to that I say, may the end of the age come quickly!
Until then, you are never alone.
