TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/27/13 -- WILDLAW CAPITAL CPC 2 INC. ("Wildlaw Capital" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WLD.P), a capital pool company under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Suntricity Corporation ("Suntricity"), a manufacturer of solar modules. Pursuant to the LOI, the Company proposes to enter into a transaction with Suntricity, constituting the Company's "qualifying transaction" in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies (the "CPC Policy"), whereby the shareholders of Suntricity will become shareholders of the Company (the "Qualifying Transaction"). Approval of the LOI has been received from the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of Suntricity.
Suntricity, a company existing under the laws of the State of Nevada, is a manufacturer of low cost, high-efficiency photovoltaics modules, which convert sunlight directly to electricity. Photovoltaics modules continues to be the largest component of solar market growth in the world. Through the use of patented, reactive inks and simplified manufacturing, Suntricity intends to commercialize the next generation of solar modules to enable massive scalability and bring solar generated energy to 'grid parity' - the price point at which solar energy competes directly with electricity generated from fossil fuels. Suntricity currently has a cooperative research and development agreement with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a government-owned, contractor-operated facility funded through the U.S. Department of Energy and a contractual relationship with Kodak's functional printing organization for printing on extrusion and coating machines in Rochester, New York.
Completion of the Qualifying Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of necessary Exchange and regulatory approvals, completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Company and Suntricity, completion of definitive legal documentation, including a definitive transaction agreement (the "Definitive Agreement"), and completion of a private placement for minimum gross proceeds of $5 million (the "Private Placement").
Suntricity has an estimated valuation of approximately $28.1 million; however the valuation of Suntricity for purposes of the Qualifying Transaction, remains subject to final determination based partly on completion of the Private Placement. Assuming completion of the minimum Private Placement, it is anticipated that current Wildlaw Capital shareholders, current Suntricity shareholders and subscribers to the Private Placement will hold approximately 3%, 83% and 15% of the common shares of the Company (or resulting issuer), respectively, upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
If the Qualifying Transaction is completed, the Company will be engaged in the solar power manufacturing business of Suntricity. The Qualifying Transaction is not a non-arm's length transaction and, therefore, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the Qualifying Transaction. However, the Company intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders to approve certain matters ancillary to the Qualifying Transaction, including a consolidation of the common shares of the Company, approval of a new stock option plan and a change in its name to Suntricity Holdings Inc. (or such other name as Suntricity may determine). Following execution of the Definitive Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a filing statement in accordance with the CPC Policy, as soon as reasonably practicable.
It is contemplated that the Definitive Agreement will be executed by no later than April 30, 2013 and, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent, it is anticipated that the closing of the Qualifying Transaction will occur no later than June 30, 2013. However, there can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed (or at all).
Trading of the common shares of the Company has been halted by the Exchange and trading will remain halted in accordance with Exchange policies until all required documentation with respect to the Qualifying Transaction has been received and the Exchange is otherwise satisfied that the halt should be lifted.
A press release with further particulars relating to the Qualifying Transaction will follow in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including Exchange acceptance. Where applicable, the Qualifying Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular to be prepared in connection with the Qualifying Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Qualifying Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
The Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the Qualifying Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
The statements used in this press release may contain forward-looking statements, and are based on the opinions and estimates of management, or on opinions and estimates provided to, and accepted by, management. These opinions and estimates are used by management, and speak only as of the date of this press release.

Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including with respect to the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the timing and receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals and third party consents, the anticipated benefits from the Qualifying Transaction and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Though Yarmouk is described as a Palestinian camp on the outskirts of Damascus, it has evolved over the years into a city with built-up houses and shops. Through the conflict in Syria, many of its streets have now been turned into rubble.
Ghossoun, 38, a school teacher, remembers her family's escape from Syria, sitting on a mattress in Jordan, where they took refuge a year and a half ago.
Despite the ceasefire, there remain enormous humanitarian needs in Gaza. The bombing of the past seven weeks has caused massive damage to water supplies. The EWASH coalition had made a video about some of the challenges delivering water in Gaza.
Since the start of the Gaza crisis, Oxfam and local partner the Youth Empowerment Centre (YEC) have delivered safe drinking water to more than 250,000 people who have taken refuge in overcrowded schools and other shelters.

- We'll be back!KEllIDined on 10/20/2014It was my first time dining at Mader's and it was a delicous time. They have a notable wine and beer list to match their menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/17/2014I love Mader's. It is a unique dining experience with good service and good German food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- busy busy busydiningBADined on 10/4/2014Thank goodness I reserved a table on Open Table. We arrived for an early dinner at 5:30. By 6pm the restaurant was full. I am not sure if it was the wait staff or kitchen that was slow but we waited too long after getting appetizers to place our order, too long to get the food and then made the mistake of wanting some of the wonderful schaum torte for dessert. After 20 minutes I finally asked the waitress to box the desserts so we could leave. Would I go back? Yes!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food; wonderful serverBobbieVIPDined on 9/27/2014Great, authentic food and a delightful server. Thanks MARY for the great attention.Special Features:
- Wonderful ExperiencejpsouthbendDined on 9/20/2014The whole experience was great. It is a beautiful place with lots of historic artifacts throughout the building. We were there early for dinner so it was quiet. The portions were generous and the food was excellent. Be prepared to share dessert - the portions are huge!!Special Features:
- Won't returnRayUWSVIPDined on 9/13/2014Having dined at Mader's over the years & looked forward to another visit when we were in Milwaukee. The problem with the food is that it wasn't consistently good. In particular, the salad was drenched in warm bacon dressing; the Rouladen was dry, tough & had little taste; the spatzel was mushy & soggy;the sauerkruat that accompanied the weinersnitchel was way overpowering (weinersnitchel was actually quite good) - the apple streusel was probably the best item. As for the service, the young lady who was our server was full of energy and so animated that she seemed to have dropped out of the Sound of Music. And the menu....photos of celebs who have dined at Mader's?!? What exactly are they promoting? Didn't make us feel important.
- JRPMDVIPDined on 9/13/2014We always find Maders a high quality restaurant selling great food and relay taking care of its guests. This time my friend and I both had the 10 oz Filet done to a perfect medium rare with a nice mashed potato and a dark sauce. I started with a very respectable French onion soup which had good flavor and a nice amount of cheese. The cranberry bread pudding was superb. It's definitely a dependable go-to place downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great German fareFood4tasteDined on 9/10/2014Exceptional variety of delicious German food. Pork shank served with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes was a huge hit. The shank was "fall off the bone" tender with just a touch of seasoning which was adequate. Finishing off with a Shaum torte served with strawberries, vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream was a perfect compliment to the meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go there for the "feel" mostlytivnetDined on 8/13/2014The location is great, and all the "visuals" are perfect. Free valet parking, great servers. Food: I had better. Their chef is a good one, no doubt, but - I repeat - I ate better everything in a much simpler restaurants. So, do not expect a "Wow-wow-wow!!!" (just one "wow" will be enough) :-))) Beer - I ordered the "sampler". Unfortunately, none of them was of any good. Not bad, drinkable, but definitely not what I expected from an "authentic German place". The "weiss" and "grapefruit" were good. They are always good. But all others, light or dark - I could drink a "coors-bud-miller" with the same result. Anyway, I am happy that I've been there. Thank you!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food QualityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Masers is not like it used to be. Food quality is not up to par, menu has been slimmed down - you can tell they are cutting corners. Food is definitely not worth the prices they are charging. The atmosphere is awesome, very historic and cool.Special Features:
- I Love German Food...LauraVIPDined on 8/2/2014but this was not what I had hoped for. I liked the red cabbage and goulash.
- Sehr Gut!!!luvopentableVIPDined on 7/31/2014Our waitress, Allison, was fantastic; quick, accommodating service (even took some pictures for us). The food was outstanding; rouladen and sauerbraten with all the trimmings. We think this is one of our very favorite restaurants in Milwaukee, and hope to return many more times.Special Features:
- Very Large PotionsRecommendedDined on 7/20/2014We are older and do not eat large portions. Tasty but took 2/3 home and had two more meals Beers are very interesting and GermanSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dining ExperienceFarleyDined on 7/15/2014If you want to experience excellent German food, the go no further than Mader's. The food was excellent and the service was great.Special Features:
- rossDined on 7/13/2014Consistently excellent German specialties of all sorts but overpriced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A classic w/ room for improvementOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/27/2014Looking forward to visiting Maders on a recent trip to Milwaukee, I was disappointed with our server's lack of experience and several mistakes throughout the meal. For example, he brought the wrong food to our table of 4 and barely acknowledged it. The food is good, but I would imagine many visit for a special occasion and more attention to detail would be great. My only other visit for tea and strudel last year was impromptu and very nice with an excellent waitress. I will probably return for dessert someday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 29 reviews are from the Mader's German Restaurant reviews archive.
- a place with free valet service?lthagaDined on 6/12/2014I picked up my mother in law from the airport and needed a place to eat that was nice and where she didn't have to do much walking. Maders is great for just that. The food takes a while to get to you, but it is good. I had the Portabella Napoleon which proved to be much smaller then I expected considering the size of most of those mushrooms. But it was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was so soezjazz11Dined on 6/12/2014They ran out of strudel which was not that big of a deal. It was the main course which was just so so. Not the quantity or quality as in the past.Special Features:
- Great Food and StaffloveNewPlacesDined on 6/11/2014The food is excellent. Great tasting traditional German food. I love the old German ambiance and the staff is really friendly and great. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for good German food and a unique place to hang out.Special Features:

- Great experienceRachDined on 5/18/2014Great place to take guests visiting Milwaukee! Be prepared to pay $30-40 per entree.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed for the PriceJudyDinerVIPDined on 5/17/2014The appetizer of Rueben rolls was excellent. The drinks were over priced along with the food. We were a party of 5, we had at least 5 different wait staff. Every couple of minutes someone new would come by and ask the same question as someone earlier, and with all that attention the service was just ok. This one will be off of my Open Table reservation options.
- Everything was greatTastebudDined on 5/5/2014Came here with some other guys for a special function at the convention center. Mader's was recommended by to us by another visitor we met who had lived in Milwuakee a few years back. There were 8 of us - we did appetizers, pork shank, schnitzels, fish and all of the desserts. Everybody had a great dinner and service was exceptional. I wish we could take this place home with us!Special Features:
- As close to Germany as it get'sOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/27/2014Coming from a family that was born and raised in Germany. It is a close contender to actually eating in Germany. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.Special Features:
- German GemOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/12/2014When I arrived for a Saturday lunch all staff were so friendly. After looking at the beer list I thought I had been transported back to Germany when I visited a few years ago. Schnitzel was outstanding and so was the spatzel. Try the German Chocolate cake even if you need to take it to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great hearty German foodSugarmommeVIPDined on 4/5/2014Allison was a fabulous and knowledgable server. I love German food occasionally and am disappointed there aren't good restaurants on the north shore. The travel to Milwaukee eas well worth the drive for delicious hearty food. The pretzel roll is to die for. We had the combo plate of Sauerbraten and Weinerschnitzel which was huge. Our doggie bags provided another full meal at home the next day. Kind of pricey ($36) for the veal instead of pork upgrade , but since we ate it again the next day, well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tournament dinnerJimboDined on 3/21/2014In town for NCAA. Tournament. Wanted to experience a local tradition. It was pricey but excellent dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food and servicePeachyprincessDined on 2/14/2014I have dined at Mader's restaurant numerous times and I have always had a wonderful experience. Their staff is knowledgable, helpful and kind. The gift shop is a must see for the stein selection alone. I'm writing this review this time around because the food and service have not only been consistent but Mader's is always able to provide an unforgettable experience. Their valentine's day special menu was a phenomenal and they provided a romantic table even when the restaurant was packed. I would highly recommend Mader's! Keep up the good work!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Long waitOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/14/2014It took us about 2 hours to get our food, server Was rarely around, there was a film on our soup which Showed it was sitting out too long, and the female server in the next Section wasn't busy but didn't help. Instead she creepily Sang and stood at a table bothering those customers. Overall, the Food was ok but for the price and the wait it wasn't worth It.Special Features:
- Special Occasion for FamilyLostokieDined on 1/4/2014We went as a special request from our 19 year old son who was home from college. It was a two hour car drive to get there and the family time was priceless. The food is great. We all ordered different things and every one was perfectly happy with their choice. The wine was good and the bread was the best ever. Great place for a special time with family. Kind of pricey but very worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambience, food goodhamsDined on 12/28/2013Service was terrific we had a group of 29 and the staff could not have Been nicer and more accommodating. Atmosphere and setting are terrific. Food a little tired, Reuben disappointing, corned beef in thick slices, tough to chew.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dont miss lunchhate2cookVIPDined on 12/28/2013Great lunch spot. Wonderful seasonal decorations. Service was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only FairOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 12/26/2013Food was fair and over priced, not what was expected given it's history.
- Great way to have a special dinnerMaryDined on 12/24/2013Maders was a great place to have a special Christmas Eve dinner. Our food was wonderful and our server was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ex;pected more experienced staffOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/22/2013Why would a server suggest that I keep my knife between courses for a dinner that cost over $75 per person? And it took wrangling to get a table not next to the very front or next to the kitchen on a fairly slow evening. Why did we need to ask for bread plates after the bread was served? Food was outstanding especially the veal schnitzel. Specialty drinks were well done. Mader's name has been missing from top restaurant lists in recent years. Management oversight can help restore its reputation.
- UnderwhelmedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 12/10/2013We had a party of to and even though the restaurant was not that full for a Tuesday night we were jammed in at a relatively small table. Food is a bit over priced for the quality, and somewhat limited variety. Would probably not go back or recommend to friends. The service was very good.

The Great Strikes
The Great Strikes
The strike was, and continues to be, a union's most effective weapon against management. The strike is the protest of last resort. Workers walk off the job in protest when management ignores their demands or when labor and management fail to negotiate an agreement. A strike is effective because a business cannot operate without workers. For every day that a factory is closed, or that a railroad does not operate, owners lose enormous amounts of money—and consumers transfer their patronage to rival businesses. Therefore, it is in management's interest to settle a strike as quickly as possible.
In the early days of unions, strikes were quite risky for workers. In the first place, there were so many immigrants coming to the United States that an owner could replace his entire labor force very quickly. Second, workers went without pay during a strike, and it was harder on a worker to lose a day's pay than it was on an owner to lose a day's profits. However, workers struck in spite of the risks. One of the reasons that labor unions traditionally ask their members for dues is to provide a fund of money that will tide workers over during a strike.
Successful labor strikes helped union membership rise. In 1877, railroad workers in fourteen states went on strike, despite an attempt by federal troops to force them to return to work.
The early 1880s brought economic depression to the nation. During a depression, businesses cut expenses by firing workers and lowering the wages of those who remain on the job. Nationwide wage cuts led to a successful railroad strike in 1884 and a violent year of labor–management clashes known as the Great Upheaval of 1886.
In May 1886, a labor strike in Chicago led to a clash between strikers and the police. When two strikers were killed, a rally was called for the next day at Haymarket Square. The protest was peaceful. Suddenly 200 policemen arrived and a bomb exploded; sixty policemen were killed and seven wounded. The police arrested eight prominent anarchists (only one of whom had actually been present), and the courts tried them for incitement to murder, convicting all eight and executing four.
Worker activism slowed after the Haymarket riot, and union membership dwindled. Employers began fighting labor unions by blacklisting any worker who tried to organize his or her colleagues. They forced newly hired workers to sign agreements never to join a union. They brought in strikebreakers to force laborers to return to work, and they also hired replacement workers.
Skilled workers decided to form their own union. In 1886, Samuel Gompers formed the American Federation of Labor (usually called the AF of L, or just AFL) for skilled workers. The AFL was founded, like all labor unions, to fight for the rights of workers, but all too often it colluded with management to the detriment of its own members. The American Railway Union, which struck against the Pullman Company in 1894, was permanently defeated when the strike failed.
Owners opposed unions, claiming that they were "un-American" because they were opposed to the notion of private property. The owner argued that his company was his own private property and therefore he could run it as he saw fit. This view ignored the fact that workers also had the right to do as they pleased; they had the right to walk off the job, to protest, and to fight for better working conditions and higher wages.

14th September 2012 vs 9th August 2013 (Sonny's blue and black shirt)
I was mired in so much twisted stuff with my family, with EJ, trying to protect myself and figure out what the hell was going on around me…in fact that pretty much describes everyday of my life before I met you. You cut through all the fog, it only looked like my life got crazy with Arianna and all that drama after we got together. The truth is everything was simple after I fell in love with you, I don't know how I got so lucky to find a man who is so warm and generous and loving first time out of the gate. I promise to never forget what a gift you are, I'm honoured that in a few hours you will be my husband. All my love, Will

Oz engaged in 'ball tampering' during training to improve 'reverse swing' before Cape Town Test
Australian cricketers had reportedly engaged in 'ball tampering' at training for the third Test in a bid to seek rapid improvement on the reverse-swing issues of the second Test at Port Elizabeth.
South African fast bowlers used the old ball to great effect in Port Elizabeth, with Dale Steyn particularly unstoppable in a collapse of 9-62, in contrast to the tourists, who failed to manage the condition of the ball.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia had one main training session to make amends before the three-Test series decider starts on Saturday and worked a lot with old balls that had been scratched to promote reverse swing.
Veteran fast bowler Ryan Harris admitted that they were 'cheating' with the ball by scraping it on the concrete, adding that it is good practice for the batsmen because it goes a lot more than what it does in a game.
Harris further said that the ploy is also a good practice for the bowlers, adding that hiding the ball when one is running in to bowl takes a lot of practice as well.
The report mentioned that Australia is looking to copy Steyn's approach to the bowling crease, in which he leaves batsmen with no idea as to whether the ball is swinging in or out, with coaches Darren Lehmann and Michael Di Venuto setting up some bowling machines to deliver extreme in-swingers similar to the ones from Steyn in Port Elizabeth.

Here's eldest Kardashian sister Kourtney Kardashian at an event in NYC on Tuesday (left) -- and former "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert back in May (right).
One is wearing too much makeup.
We're just sayin'.
I've told myself before that I'd never come back to this site. Now I know why. Snarky seems to be the theme of this blog. Adam rocks! No doubt about it.
This is why I don't watch TMZ, how stupid. They are both beautiful people. Kourtney is the prettiest Kardashian sister and Adam is beautiful inside and out and the guy can sing.
Super 5 your showing your ignorance when you can't spell (arrogant). But thats ok we are all individuals and we love you anyway.
Oh I see the extremely stupid homophobes have made it to this site. Often grammatically and intellectually challenged,they somehow have a great knack for finding their prey. Today it is Adam Lambert.
Misery DOES love company,especially where numbers 10 and 12 are concerned!!
They're both pretty queer but for entirely different reasons.
Adam is the NEW Liberace!! Long live drag Queens.. KK is a low class dead head
My..my...Rude little homophobes in here, displaying their prejudice and stupidity.Also, who in the HELL decides for anyone how much makeup is too much??? Adam is the winner in the looks, talent and sexiness category IMO!
Both of 'em swallow. Just Sayin' ;)~
It would have been funnier to compare her to a 1950s Greaser.
too bad Adam's gay...........
Eh they both look boring
Don't you mean Kourtney k- Adam Lambert not Kourtney K - American Idol. That makes no sense. Adam's a person, not American Idol.? and #10 it's not that deep. seriously, he's just having fun and being himself. Furthermore, it was not his sexuality that made America fall on love with him during American Idols, it was pure talent and swagger. stfu!
aren't they the same person?, the one on the left is when Adam tapes it back,
Please keep the Kardashians away. They are pathetic, fake, celebrity wannabes. This woman endangers her child while continuing to protect her abusive baby's daddy. Enough already. They need to learn how to be honest and protect their children. The lying and drama is just too much.
I love Kourtney but she needs a new hairdresser. A lot bad hair days and this isn't the first.
Kim has totally jumped the shark. Talk about desperate.
Khole has really come from behind.
Kim take some confident classes from Kort and Khole you need them. Also stay off the covers for awhile you have desperate written all over your FACE.

The underlying point here is someone who regularly engages in a particular trade or business has far more experience and expertise in a particular area, which would allow that person to offer a more valuable opinion on that subject than the know-it-alls on this forum, whose answer to every question is to buy more shizzle or spend more shizzle out of an overabundance of caution and ignorance.
Many of these older production boats had oversized masts and rigging, far stronger than the current crop of boat-show boats. If his professional rigger said it is o.k., then it is likely o.k. I would rely on the expert opinion of his rigger, who actually examined the rigging, over the non-expert opinion of the posters on Sailnet.
I agree with you for the most part.
I am a licensed professional mechanical engineer. I have licenses in Maryland and Hawaii, and would be able to get licensed in any state with an application. To get licensed I needed a mechanical engineering degree, 4 years experience working under a licensed mechanical engineer, and needed to pass two tests totaling 16 hours given by the state of maryland.
In my work I deal with all kinds of equipment from commercial air conditioning systems to maintenace of guyed anntennas over 1,000 feet tall.
Most of the trades people I deal with are not formally licensed, but could be considered professionals as they get paid to do what they do. Some should be considered experts. But the problem I see is these professionals are right 98% of the time. It is the 2% of the time they get it wrong because they do no have a good foundation for understanding what they are doing. One of my jobs is to "catch" this 2% and not let slip by. As in most of life, it would be uneconomical to educate these trades people to cover that 2% where they make incorrect descisions. It most cases, the 2% where they get it wrong is not a life or death situation, it only has economic impact.
However, I think your rig on your sailboat is critical. It could be life or death when it falls down and hits someone, or it could be life or death if you can not sail to make it to port. I think we need a formal licensing program to be considered a "Professional Rigger".

How Much Did Breaking Dawn Make This Weekend?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Breaking Dawn didn't break any box office records this weekend, but it didn't fare too poorly, either.
The fourth installment in The Twilight Saga is estimated to have earned $139.5 million on Friday and Saturday, the fifth most lucrative opening weekend in Hollywood history. New Moon actually bested this edition by $4 million on 2004.
But Breaking Dawn did set a new Twilight mark in global earnings, taking home $283.5 million around the world over the last couple days. Did you see it? What did you think Breaking Dawn?
Below, we've posted the complete top 10 box office results from the weekend.
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1, $139.5 million
- Happy Feet Two, $22 million
- Immortals, $12.3 million
- Jack and Jill, $12 million
- Puss in Boots, $10.7 million
- Tower Heist, $7 million
- J. Edgar, $5.9 million
- A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, $2.9 million
- In Time, $1.7 million
- The Descendants, $1.2 million
I love all the films but I haven't seen breaking dawn but watching the trailer it looks amazing
Loved this movie - these actors are amazing. Stephanie Meyers needs
to start writing again and continue the story of Jacob and Renessme.
Am going to see this again and again.
I havent seen breaking dawn yet but it looks good in the trailer
the movie is awesum, cnt w8t for part 2.But i do hope that nxt tym jacob`s charecter will be mo fun and not angry all the tym, but anyway the movie is gr8t and m gng 2 c it again
ERROR IN OPENING PARAGRAPH OF BREAKING DAWN STORY - New Moon was 2009, not 2004
Omg this movie was awesome, I've seen it 3 times already, love everything about it. I just wish they would had more details like in the book. And it's to bad we have to wait a whole year for the second one.
GREAT movie! loved it, loved the book and loved the film! couldn't ask for it better!! can't wait for part 2:D anyone who says its bad well thats your loss (Y) :)
I loved the movie but did think especially the scene's prior to the wedding SUCKED! The acting and lines where cheezy, not enough dialogue, the book had so much more then dream sequences and flashback scenes, then they skipped some of the best parts! Like the "before" car, Bella talking on phone with her mom, Edward cooking, Edward eating cake, more activities and dialogue on the island, and the dog food bowl with Rose. The movie felt disjointed up to the wedding and didn't flow well at all. It could have had explored the relationships better between the wolves and vamps like the book. I would have trashed all those lame scenes not from the book like Renee singing at the wedding and the "Hair" joke. If you show up 20 minutes late to this movie your not missing anything at all. I think ppl who didn't read the book will feel really lost until the wedding.
Ive recently seen part 1 of breaking dawn it was wonderful, and im going again what a love for a movie.
They had to split the fourth book into two parts. In a way I think it's kind of great, it's continuing the saga that we all love so much. I would have Rather they keep the book in one movie too. But there's no possible way they could have shoved everything in that huge book into one movie. I'm sure with them already being finished with the second one, that they'll release it sooner than November of 2012. Which will be awesome!!!!! :) I was so happy about this movie, they really did do a great job. Could have been a little longer though!!

Latest Player Updatesclose
Ken Hamlin
Tue Nov 30, 2010 4:26 pm Ravens waived S Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hamlin was low man on the totem pole at safety, left without a role since Ed Reed's return. At age 29, he's hit the journeyman phase of his career.
Wed Sep 29, 2010 9:49 am Ravens re-signed S Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hamlin was just released by the Ravens last Wednesday. He'll resume his No. 4 safety role behind Dawan Landry, Haruki Nakamura and Tom Zbikowski.
Source: Ravens on Twitter
Tue Sep 28, 2010 12:54 pm The St. Petersburg Times' Stephen F. Holder speculates that the Buccaneers could take a look at free agent S Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bucs are looking for depth with Tanard Jackson receiving a season-long suspension. The 29-year-old Hamlin, who was released by the Ravens last week, isn't much of a player anymore.
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Wed Sep 22, 2010 4:26 pm Ravens released S Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: At age 29, Hamlin's career is at a crossroads. Not his once-physical self, he drew scant interest on the 2010 free agent market, and couldn't beat out Haruki Nakamura or Tom Zbikowski on the depth chart in Baltimore.
Source: Jason La Canfora on Twitter
Thu Jul 8, 2010 11:38 am Ken Hamlin is fine with being a backup for the Ravens as long as the team is winning.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hamlin has started all but two games he's ever played in, but his play has waned in recent years and Ed Reed and Dawan Landry are entrenched as starters. However, if Reed's recovery from hip surgery drags into the regular season, Hamlin will compete with Tom Zbikowski for the starting free safety gig.
Source: baltimoreravens.com
Thu Jun 17, 2010 2:31 pm Ravens signed S Ken Hamlin to a one-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's interesting to note that the Ravens chose to sign a safety after also working out corners Ken Lucas and Walt Harris. The natural reaction is that the team still has some concern than Ed Reed (hip surgery) won't be back up to full speed for the early part of the season. Hamlin has lost his playmaking ability the last two seasons, so he was never going to land more than a one-year "prove it" deal as an insurance policy.
Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter
Wed Jun 9, 2010 1:02 pm Free agent DBs Ken Hamlin, Ken Lucas and Walt Harris tried out for the Ravens on Wednesday, a league source tells Aaron Wilson.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Ravens are dealing with a ton of injuries in the their secondary, specifically at the corner spot where both Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb are rehabbing ACL tears. The three guys that tried out today would give some decent veteran depth.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter
Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:19 pm Free agent S Ken Hamlin is scheduled to visit the Bengals on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Safety remains an area of need for Cincy after they failed to address the position early in the draft. Just two years removed from a Pro Bowl season, Hamlin would be an upgrade at free safety.

Fri Apr 2, 2010 2:38 pm The Eagles have no interest in free agent S Ken Hamlin, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.
Fantasy Source Spin: Division rivals are often the first to bite on released players, but Hamlin isn't going to land in Philadelphia or New York. Washington is a possibility. Either way, Hamlin is going to be competing for a starting job in somebody's camp.

Fri Jan 29, 2010 1:25 pm Cowboys beat writer Tim MacMahon believes FS Ken Hamlin is a "prime candidate" to be cut this offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: Alan Ball held his own in a four-game stretch as a fill-in, and Hamlin is due close to $6M next season. Much of the money left on his six-year, $39M is not guaranteed, and Hamlin's production has fallen off dramatically the past two seasons. The Cowboys could get away with Ball at a fraction of the cost.
Source: ESPNDallas.com
Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:06 pm Cowboys signed FS Ken Hamlin to a six-year, $39 million contract. The deal contains $15 million guaranteed, including a $9 million signing bonus.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hamlin, 27, joined Dallas last spring on a relatively cheap one-year deal and capitalized. He had a career-high five picks, 15 breakups, and made his first Pro Bowl. Hamlin plays behind a stingy front seven and mans the deep middle, making him a mediocre pick in tackle-heavy IDP leagues, but this is a good signing for Dallas. The core of their secondary is locked up long term.

Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:17 pm ESPN's John Clayton seconds a Fort Worth Star-Telegram report that Dallas is close to reaching a long-term deal with franchise player Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: Clayton says the contract will be for six years and keep Hamlin in Dallas until his career is over. It's probably in the $36-$40 million range. Hamlin's agent is currently in Big D hammering out details with owner Jerry Jones.
Source: ESPN Insider
Thu Jun 5, 2008 11:43 am The Cowboys reportedly "want to and expect to" sign franchise player Ken Hamlin to an extension before the starting of training camp.
Fantasy Source Spin: The sides have until July 15 to strike a deal. One of the reasons for Terrell Owens' new contract was that it cleared up cap room for Hamlin. Hamlin hasn't signed his one-year, $4.396 million tender and is training on his own.
Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Thu Feb 21, 2008 2:32 pm Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports that the Cowboys have used the franchise tag on S Ken Hamlin.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Pro Bowler finished last season with 62 tackles and five interceptions. Hamlin will make $4.396 million if he signs the one-year tender. This marks the first time the Cowboys have used the franchise tag since placing it on LT FLozell Adams in 2002. Ironically, putting the tag on Hamlin means that Adams will likely become an unrestricted free agent next week.
Thu Feb 14, 2008 9:14 am The Cowboys "have every intention" of retaining free agent Ken Hamlin, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Fantasy Source Spin: The franchise number for safeties is reasonable, so if the sides can't reach a long-term deal, there are other options. Hamlin enjoyed a career best year in 2007. If the Cowboys don't step up, he'd surely have a home in Miami.

Portable canopies are simply a crucial part of making your presentation at trade shows and crafts shows a success. Because they give your display space depth, presence, and visibility, portable canopies remain the difference between a booth that's simply set up and a unique retail and presentation space. And in a crowded exhibition space, you want a display to which guests and customers will be drawn. Fortunately, they're designed and built to be highly mobile and easy to deploy and take down again. That's an important consideration for presenters and crafts artists who attend fairs and shows out of town. Of course, it's also important when displaying anywhere that a lengthy, methodical setup process just isn't possible.
In fact, many brands of portable canopy feature custom graphics printed across their top and side valances. This helps give your business or organization the maximum amount of exposure. That exposure remains even when your setup is surrounded by other tents and display exhibits. These custom tents often feature state of the art printing and silk-screening techniques. Such state of the art computer printing technology allows for thousands of colors and precise, specific detail.
It's easy to see why people get so excited about a custom canopy. You can get your message out, advertise your business, or support your favorite team simply by using something you were going to use anyway. Custom canopies give you the voice and the choice when it comes to making a point in any outdoor setting. There are many good options to customize your pop up canopy.
The log cabin is as much an image as it is a building. It evokes thoughts of maple syrup and the American frontier. It is an important setting in the stories of real and fictional people such as Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and Uncle Tom. Perhaps because of this, people give the log cabin a status no other type of house enjoys. Demolitions of 200-year-old houses suddenly stop when logs are discovered. The reality is more complex than the popular image of the log cabin in a small clearing. Log houses range from crude huts to fancy plantation houses. City houses, churches, jails, and courthouses were also built of logs. This essay addresses the complexities of the log cabin through a focus on the earliest log houses in Kentucky, and serves as an introduction to the origins, construction, forms, finish, and furnishing of log houses in the frontier and early statehood period, about 1770-1800.
Sources for the Study of Early Log Houses in Kentucky
Very few of the earliest log houses in Kentucky survive. The log houses we see now tend to be the best built ones, and those of later dates. Because house builders had long careers, and house types change slowly over time, later log buildings do offer us some information about the earlier houses. We can also learn more from archaeological investigations. Finally, we have documentary sources such as letters, drawings, contracts, and memoirs. A lot of research remains to be done, but with current knowledge, we do have some pretty clear ideas about the early log house.
The Origins of the Log House on the Kentucky Frontier
By the middle of the eighteenth century, the lack of available land in the colonies prompted people to look West towards territory occupied by Native Americans. Explorers began entering Kentucky in the 1750's, and by the late 1770's, European Americans, and to some extent, African Americans began moving to the area in large numbers. These colonists brought their ideas of what a house should be. These ideas varied depending on their backgrounds. In a similar way, the immigrants who colonized America in the seventeenth century brought house concepts from their countries of origin with them to the New World. However, house types had already changed in the colonies as people adapted to their new surroundings. Swedes, Finns, Germans, and other Continental Europeans brought over log building technology. The English, who didn't build in log at home, quickly adopted the technique. Log building was well established by the time homesteaders began migrating to Kentucky in the 1770's-1790's, and was most common in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, the source regions of most of Kentucky's pioneers.
When they first arrived, most homesteaders kept their shelter expectations low. Establishing a farmstead on the frontier required a carefully planned and executed strategy. Building a fancy house was rarely the first thing they did. After arriving, preferably in the early spring, the pioneers began work to "improve" their land. The first task was to cut down trees, both to clear land and provide building materials. They chopped down the trees with axes (a vital tool) or girdled them (cutting a ring through the bark to kill the tree). Then there were fences to put up, fields to plow and plant, domestic animals to raise, and a house to build and furnish. The first dwelling on a site was often a simple lean-to or hut of stacked logs that could be partially dug into a hillside, or built quickly with a post-in-the-ground frame (figure 1a). Some of these structures may have been covered with bark or animal skins, taking cues from Native American dwellings. Homesteaders used such lean-tos for short periods while surveying or clearing land and building a better cabin. After they built a more substantial cabin, the old shelter could be dismantled or kept for an animal pen or storage shed.
What little we do know about the early temporary structures comes from brief descriptions in documentary records. These shelters are similar to those the first colonists built when they landed in coastal areas a century and a half earlier. William Sudduth, interviewed in the 1840's, remembered two such structures. The first "was a cabbin raised & covered at Maysville without either being chinked, daubed, or a fire place in it," where the family stayed for a short time at their point of entry into Kentucky. This was probably much like the log cabin in figure 1b. The second building Sudduth describes is the "camp," a lean-to structure typical of first shelters on a homestead, which he says was "about 8 feet wide and 10 feet deep, covered over with puncheons & built up on three sides with logs." This was similar to the lean-to shown in (figure 1a). Puncheons are thick, hand-split and unfinished boards.
Settlers usually built a single-pen log cabin for their first shelter after a lean-to. This would be one square or rectangular box (figure 1b) of stacked logs with a gable roof. Pens could be square or rectangular, and could range in size from 12 feet square to 20 x 24 feet. It typically had no weatherboarding or window glass, but may have had a stick and mud chimney. The poorest quality ones would have round logs and a dirt floor, with no fireplace like Sudduth's cabin in Maysville. The pioneers could build such rough cabins themselves with a few simple tools. They lived in such cabins for the first year or two. As soon as possible, the homesteaders built a more substantial structure with hewn logs and a wood floor, such as the cabin shown in figure 2. This house could be improved in the coming years through additions of siding, windows, interior plaster, and enlargements such as a porch, lean-to, ell, (ells are rear additions perpendicular to the main building) or the attachment of another pen. The first crude log cabin could be retained as an attached or freestanding kitchen, slave house, laundry, barn, smoke house, or a workshop.
The popular image of the settler building a house with an ax and no nails probably has its origins in the crude first cabins. The typical house, however, required the labors of a professional builder, and possibly a mason as well. These builders used an extensive array of tools, and manufactured articles such as nails, glass, hardware, and bricks. Period records of professional builders are scant, but we know that pioneers set up varying professional trades as soon as possible. Builders looking for work saw the fast-growing frontier as a land of opportunity, as did the farmers looking for quality land. The best evidence of the building profession is in the buildings themselves. The average farmer did not have the skills or the tools needed to make window sash, join a mantle, dovetail corner joints, or frame a staircase. So he turned to the skills of carpenters and masons, paying in several forms of currency or cash equivalents (such as tobacco or whiskey) or even bartering for their services. The farmer, his family, and slaves all could contribute labor to the project of building a house, but the builder took responsibility for its design and construction.
In many cases, the first professionally built house was also replaced once again after some time by a more substantial dwelling, preferably one of frame or masonry construction. The first house could be incorporated into the new house, or left freestanding for use as an outbuilding or slave house. In some cases, it was demolished for building materials. Where very early log houses do survive to the present, they are usually enclosed within the later additions of a larger house or even a barn.

Review and Approval of Facilities for Research on Living Organisms and Greenhouse Christopher Dinno, Senior Director for Facilities Management presented a concept rendering for the proposed relocation of one of the existing Greenhouses on campus and the addition of a scientifically termed Head House and a Small Living Organism Facility. The design of the Head House and Small Living Organism Facility would be consistent with the existing facilities. Dr. Richard Whitkus, Department Chair of Biology informed committee members that the funding for this project is contingent upon receiving grant funding through the National Science Foundation (NSF) that the School of Science and Technology applied for in August 2009. Whitkus explained that this project has several components which will benefit research efforts to improve and enhance the Biology Department. Whitkus informed committee members that the existing middle greenhouse should be reoriented to an east-west axis to improve conditions necessary for the propagation of plants. All existing greenhouses are in need of new infrastructure which includes upgrading the existing temperature controllers, lighting and humidity controllers. To support the revitalization of the greenhouses, a new Head House will be constructed which will provide an outdoor covered area for plant preparation and potting, and interior spaces for potting plants, storage, benches, an office and a restroom facility. An addition of a Small Living Organism Facility is also being proposed. President Armiñana inquired about the size of the animals that would be housed in the facility. Whitkus responded animals smaller than an elephant seal. Whitkus informed members that this facility is necessary as when the greenhouses were relocated in 2004 due to the Recreation Center Construction, the Small Living Organism Facility was not replaced and while Darwin Hall has a cold room, it is not sufficient for the needs of the department. The proposed facility would restore the department's research capacity. The facility will include an observation space, sink area, and storage spaces. Nate Johnson, Senior Director for Police and Parking Services/Chief of Police inquired about the level of security that the Small Living Organism Facility would have. Whitkus responded that the facility would be occupied by two people at all times when in use and access to the facility would be limited to only those who are licensed to obtain the small animals. Elizabeth Chellini inquired about vehicle and pedestrian traffic on Laurel Drive. Dinno responded that there is a fair amount of westbound traffic in the morning but it decreases by mid day. Dr. Scott Severson, Faculty Representative inquired about the timing of the project from start to finish. Whitkus replied that the grant was applied for in August 2009 and it may be two years before funding is approved. Severson inquired about how long small animals would be kept in the facility to which Whitkus replied less than 24 hours.

Sen. Mark Pryor needs a copy of Creedence's song 'Fortunate Son'
Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas claimed his political opponent Tom Cotton, a veteran of the 101st Airborne who did tours of duty in both Iraq and Afghanistan, has a sense of entitlement from his military service. "I think it's part of this sense of entitlement that he gives off -- almost as like 'I served my country, therefore elect me to the Senate," Pryor reportedly said.
This is just bizarre, especially coming from someone who basically inherited his Senate seat from his father, David Pryor, who was a member of the Senate for 18 years.
It made me think of that old Creedence Clearwater Revival song, "Fortunate Son":
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one.
Meanwhile, in other Capitol Hill news, Congress is beginning to question the direction the CIA has taken over the last decade. Better late than never, I suppose.

WASHINGTON - The big cleanup at the Washington Harbour continues, but Easter weekend is definitely a washout for many of the businesses damaged by the flooding of the Potomac River.
Three popular restaurants and the garage were inundated with upwards of 10 to 12 feet of water.
Catherine, who works at the Harbour's Roche Salon, says Tony and Joe's, Farmers and Fishers and Sequoia were completely wiped out by the river.
"They're going to have to do complete renovations," she says.
Dan Simons, owner of Farmers and Fishers, says the damage is so substantial that he can't even fathom when the restaurant will reopen.
One of the workers says there was so much water that fish were actually swimming at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
Although there was no water damage, Catherine says the salon has been closed all week because they have no power. Power is being restored to some businesses, but it is a slow process. They're hoping the salon will be open by Tuesday of next week.
Monica, who works at Caldwell Bankers at the Harbour, says she came to work on Monday and was turned away by police. She says a police escort helped her grab her computer and files on Wednesday.
Monday's flooding occurred after steel flood gates at the plaza weren't completely raised - something that surprised Arthur Cotton Moore, the architect of the gates, who says if property managers had completely raised the gates they would have worked as they have some 75 other times over the past 25 years.
MRP Real Estate Services, the company that owns and manages Washington Harbour, is staying silent on why more action wasn't taken to prevent the deluge. But a class-action lawsuit has been filed against the managers.
