What a great DVD! My sons & I loved it, it has mystery, suspense, tongue in cheek fun for all ages! Keeps you interested, not just a "Chick Flick" or just a movie for girls! Highly recommend for all!
I was able to go to the theater and see this movie on the big screen first, but I have seen it on DVD and it is just as wonderful. I love how they were able to keep this teenage girl who just happened to love being in the middle of any kind of mystery that was anywhere close to here (or if she could get to it). Nancy is still at heart just a small town girl with a huge heart and a wonderful personality that they were able to show in this movie. You get to see simple things about a girl trying to be "normal" and realizing that she has to be who she is. But you will also see things that are going to keep you interested throughout the movie and on the edge of your seat at different times. I hope that you get this movie because I know that you will fall in love with it.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Girl
These sexy girls take being best friends to a whole new level! They pleasure each other with an array of toys for their sweet pussies and tight asses. Watch as these young hotties take turns squirming with delight!
Cheaply shot and poorly edited scenes of girl-on-girl toy play is what's here. The sex is decent, but the use of the toys is substituted for genuine lust way, way too much. The scenes are overly long, with a strong gay-for-pay vibe that some will enjoy but more seasoned girl/girl watchers will not. There's almost zero tease or foreplay here, either.
Nicole rams a jelly dong in her own butt with no foreplay, and Amber just holds a pocket rocket on Nicole's clit without doing much else. They switch, with Amber taking on her own toys and neither showing much interest in the other. Janette and Marsha vaguely enjoy each other's bodies with limp ass swats before the toys come out.
Nina and Rockie actually deign to kiss each other and play with each other's tits before the dispassionate toy usage happens. Minnie and Willow use a pink Jenna Jameson signature bejeweled vibe in their asses one at a time, along with a jet black pocket rocket.

Tippl: Guitar Hero needed "nurturing and care" to survive
Activision admits it "probably" didn't do right by the one-time $1 billion Guitar Hero brand.
"Guitar Hero probably didn't receive the amount of nurturing and care that it needed to maintain that position," chief financial officer Thomas Tippl said, speaking at Citi 2011 Conference, a reported by Gamasutra.
"And I think there were a number of good lessons to be learned."
Tippl also commented that the series didn't evolve fast enough to meet the changing state of gaming.
"There were a number of elements to the franchise, as well as our relationship with the providers of the music, that didn't make it conducive to make the digital transition," he said.
"If we come back, and when we come back, with a reinvented Guitar Hero experience, I think all of that will have to be taken into account. Clearly, consumers still have a lot of love for the brand."
Guitar Hero was put on hiatus earlier this year after several recent entries failed to take off.

Excellent location. Friendly staff gave me a room in the back of the hotel away from the street noise. Large room with a complete kitchen.
Room needed table to eat at since there was a kitchen to prepare food. Also needed suitcase racks/stands. Had to put suitcases on floor which was not convenient. Need a two-pin electric plug converter for US appliances.

Here's a puzzle.
Last year I bought some hosting from a hosting company and pointed a number of domains that I own to run from this service. All domains working fine and publicly accessible.
Then a few months ago I was at home and realised that I could not view any of the sites. The browser would report an error. I assumed a temporary glitch. Back in the office, from my office machine and network, all the sites worked just fine. Back at home that same day, none of the sites worked. I tried multiple browsers on the same home machine, clearing the caches, restarting the machines, restarting the router, tried other machines on my home network, even tried an iPod - not a sausage. None of the sites would load. However, when I tried accessing them from my Blackberry I could see they were all working.
A few weeks ago, the sites started working again from home ... but then a day later had stopped! And that is the current situation. I cannot access the sites from home but they work from the office and indeed seem to work for any other user. One of the sites is for a local sports club - Godalming Badminton Club - try it yourself. If you have any problem let me know but I tried it just now from the office and it works and I am told by other users it has been working consistently over this period.
So it would appear that there is some problem with my local network or ISP. I use a cable connection from Virgin Media, connected to a Dlink DIR655 router/gateway/switch. I use OpenDNS instead of the default ISP DNS but that is one thing I have checked. I tried reverting to the default ISP DNS but it made no difference.
I used to think I was pretty savvy about this kind of this kind of thing but now I think I may have missed something obvious. Please could somebody suggest some steps to diagnose the source of this problem and/or tell me how to fix it!!

Security forces loyal to Ivory Coast's incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo have launched an offensive in the Abidjan stronghold of his rival, Alassane Ouattara. Officials said troops attacked the Abobo neighborhood Saturday on the ground and with air support. A United Nations spokesman said a staff member had been injured by pro-Gbagbo youth who attacked him and burned his car. But speaking to the Reuters news agency, the spokesman downplayed Saturday's violence, saying it was just skirmishes.The neighborhood has seen ongoing violence since Ivory Coast's November 28 election, which Mr. Gbagbo insists he won, despite U.N.-certified results showing Mr. Ouattara received the majority of the vote.The U.N. said prior to Saturday's attack that fighting between Gbagbo and Ouattara supporters has killed at least 365 people and displaced nearly 500,000 others.Reports Saturday did not give details on new casualties.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Manga | Kentaro Miura's action-fantasy manga Berserk has 35 million copies in print — 27 million in Japan, and 8 million overseas — Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine announced today. Miura returned to the series this week after a 10-month hiatus. The manga, which centers on a pair of mercenaries in a medieval Europe-inspired fantasy world, debuted in 1989; 37 volumes have been released to date. Dark Horse holds the license to Berserk in North America. [Anime News Network]
Crime | Russell Brandom and Colin Lecher describe a fascinating case in which comics figured in two types of crimes, money laundering and theft of evidence. Along the way, they explain the importance of grading, how slabbing works, and why it's pointless to steal a really valuable comic that's already known to collectors. [The Verge]
Have you spent the past week plowing through all 959 pages (plus appendices!) of George R.R. Martin's long-awaited A Dance with Dragons, volume five in epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire? Are you counting the days and following the casting announcements until HBO's Game of Thrones, the show based on the series, returns next spring? Did you feast on the Gregor Clegane-sized gallery of GoT/ASoIaF fanart Robot 6 put together last week but find yourself hungry for more? Then do yourself a favor and order Blood Magic, the new zine edited by Kris Mukai, Maritsa Patrinos, and Hunter Heckroth. It features Ice and Fire-inspired art from over two dozen illustrators, including Sam Bosma, Kali Ciesemier, L. Nichols, Evan Dahm, Rory Phillips, and Jen Wang. Even George R.R. Martin himself appears to have enjoyed it, so consider it blessed in the sight of gods and men. The zine costs $7 — order it here.

Man Of Steel - Official Teaser Trailer
Man of Steel - Official Trailer #2
Man of Steel - Official Trailer #3
I liked it....A!!!
I'm going to see it tomorrow. I have two friends who've already seen it and they gave it very good marks.
It seems that most of the critics who have panned it wanted it to be more like Richard Donner's "Superman." Well, that was a very good film. But it has already been done, and "Superman Returns" showed us what happens when you try to make it again.
I just saw it. Not bad at all. MILES better than previous Superman movies, which were mostly unwatchable. Some of the fight scenes had too many fast action closeups, but all in all a good movie. It took decades but technology can finally do justice to superhero movies.
Saw it tonight. Loved it.
I liked Superman Returns, but I hated Broadway Lex Luthor. I was convinced that Kevin Spacey was going to break out in a song.
Any gay scenes...like the James Bond movie?
A guy I work with saw this movie and gave it a hearty thumbs up. I might just have to go see it.
If only Marlon Brandon were still around!
All in all my wife & I liked it - really good story and character development actually, and good casting - especially Superman. I liked it a lot more than expected.
However, for a 2:28 minute movie they could have cut out at least 28 minutes of gratuitous property and building smashing and explosions, still had tons of such action left, and the movie would have lost nothing.
I swear if they'd smashed another couple dozen buildings more than the couple thousand they smashed throughout the movie, I would have lost it. Toward the end when they got tired of trashing all the cities on Earth and decided to take the fighting into orbit and start smashing satellites, I almost started laughing.
Regardless, a good movie overall and probably the best Superman movie yet. I'd recommend it.
Best Superman movie ever!
"'Man of Steel is really the Obama story 'cause its about a guy whos not from here & has the power to see & hear everything youre doing."
-Jeff Dunham
I saw it this afternoon.
All these good reviews surprise me.
If a good movie is all about effects and choreography, and wall to wall fist fighting then the movie was great.
Plotwise it totally bombed
There was hardly ANY character development
There was 10 times more alien technology than there was Superman saving the day.
Too many flashbacks to cover early years.
WAY too much collateral damage. NO WAY all those buildings fall without killing thousands of people. Virtually nothing left of the city which Superman didn't seem to mind punching holes in. Where did all the people go??? the city looked like a nuke hit it, but no dead people on the streets.
WAY too much emphasis on Zod and this new element of Kryptonians being a bunch of test tube breeders.
I was totally disappointed in it overall.
Almost 26,000 reviewers have reviewed it on imdb.com, with a score of 8.4/10.0 ... An excellent overall rating. I ignore what critics say, and reliably count on what viewers my age have said...
See review:
Loved it. Loved the character development but really loved the Christian imagery.
Who was the villain?
In this day and age, you can watch the trailer beforehand and know exactly what you were getting, which is mainly special effects.
Really enjoyed the movie. The casting was excellent. Really was great to see Jor-El do more in this movie. Job well done by Russell Crowe. My only complaint would be the shaky camera and the end seemed to drag on a bit too long.
The Jesus allegory was definitely in this movie. Couldn't escape it.
Can't wait for the next one and where they take this.
General Zod
It isn't "Gone With The Wind", IT'S A SUPERMAN MOVIE! You know, like in comic books.
I must say Diane Lane had a stand out performance worthy of an Oscar. Not likely in a Superman Movie.
I would characterize this Superman movie as the "Chronicles of Superman" or Superman meets "The Chronicles of Riddick", with a few Avatar flying things.
This is one of "THE BEST" Superman movies. If you like Superman, you won't be disappointed.
We saw the 3D version. As with most 3D movies I've seen, there just isn't enough 3D STUFF in it.
Go see it. Take the kids. Have some popcorn and enjoy the show.
i saw it tonight. i, too, loved the Christian allegory. in the beginning i loved the brief 'anti-population control' mention which was almost pro-life/anti-abortion considering all the developing babies in the shot.
Plus the end of the movie where the government tries to spy on him and what he does to the drone.
I had an interesting learning experience back in 1978. I had always been a huge fan of Superman comics. I had a friend who was mentally challenged and couldnt read, but he absolutely loved the old TV series with George Reeves. When we talked about the movie, he didnt like it because it was so different from the series, while I loved it because it was so close to the comics. Its all a matter of perspective.
Oh, God...
I just got back from seeing it. Overall, I was happy I saw it, but I was also conflicted. I would say it was at least 100 times better than Superman Returns from a few years ago, but it was only about half as compelling as the first Christopher Reeve 1978 Superman movie. On a scale of 1-10, this was a 6.
Maybe I'm just getting old (44) but I have to agree with many of the previous posters who have noted the gratuitous length of the fight scenes. It literally becomes boring as the special-effects artists find ways to destroy building after building across the New York/Metropolis skyline (by the way, why is every superhero movie taking out their wrath on the buildings of New York? Can't we get just one super villain taking out Chicago or LA for a change?).
I get it, General Zod and Superman don't like each other. You don't have to beat the audience over the head with it. I could have happily traded ALL of the highly CGI-ed fight scenes for a few reasons to care about the characters:
- Lois was just a prop, the movie didn't provide a reason to care about her relationship with Superman/Clark. She could have died at any time and the movie would have provided the same emotional relevance as a nameless extra dying.
- The movie didn't offer reasons to deeply care about General Zod, or his crew, other than that they were wrecking lots of stuff, and it would be nice to stop them.
- Perry White, see Lois.
- Even the adult Superman himself. You always gotta root for the guy in the red cape, but beyond the suit, the man himself didn't make you fall in love with the character. Having said that, the flashbacks in which we see Clark as a child DOES offer some emotional resonance.
On the other hand the movie offers a world of reasons to care about Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and he did not disappoint. Looking back I think he is really the star of this movie, even if his screen time is limited. Also Jor-El's wife does a decent job, as do Clark's earth parents. And a special call out to Christopher Meloni. As an army colonel who was basically reprising the same character he plays on Law & Order SVU, nobody glares at everyone like him.
Overall, I would say it was really nice to see Superman flying across the screen again. My hope is that the sequel will invest a little more in the characters and a lot less in fights that go on for seemingly hours at a time. I understand that is what superhero movies are about, but (as
Iron Man, Spider Man and Batman did extremely well) give us some reasons to care deeply about the characters and the people they care about before you start breaking everything in sight.
These are the same people that like to eat liver and think France has actually won a recent war.
I'll state up front I've not seen the movie and most of the reviews have not given me a reason to see it, including yours. Your closing thoughts on character development vs. CGI are spot-on for many of Hollywood's efforts today. You can easily spend multi-bucks to get great CGI and be confident of the result. The same cannot be said for good writing, directing, or acting. Since those involve humans, it's a crap shoot on the outcome.
It has flaws - what movie doesn't - but it's worth the price of admission - once. Go to a matinee. I'm gonna see it again today. I missed some things returning the Coca-Cola I borrowed.
I might go again to a matinee just to see some of the Easter eggs I missed. I caught the LexCorp trucks and building but missed "Wayne Towers". there are supposed to be some more.
I'm sure the line from Superman "I was raised in Kansas, general...I'm as AMERICAN as it gets" didn't help, either. Other critics hate the parties in the movie.
Fans seem to love it, and the box office will be the BOTTOM line; whiny navel-gazing critics notwithstanding.
I didn't see it, but didn't the last Transformers flick trash Chicago? The there's Battle: Los Angeles...
I really enjoyed it. The characterization of Superman felt very different this time around. In every other film/TV show, Superman always felt like a human with an exotic background and super abilities. With this film's focus on Kryptonians, even by the end of the movie I still saw Superman as an alien living among us.
I thought that was very different and interesting.
They do that to make for a better transition to the small screen when it hits HBO/MAX/SHOWTIME, etc.
Superman 2 from 1980 is a minor masterpiece and better than any of the others.
I'll pass...
i am completely sick of these superhero movies.
Actually I was sick of superheroes back when i was 16.
Want the complete opposite of the movie you described? That would be "The Internship". It's the ultimate culture clash played out with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn at their having-a-good-time best.
Thank you! And "The Internship" was on my list of movies to see, but now I'm going to put it at the top and either go see it before the weekend is over, or next weekend at the latest. Thank you for the tip!
Payne/Powell looks more the part.
Hated the new "suit." What's wrong with the outside underwear?
It was LOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and disjointed.
The writing might have succeeded if they had not been lost in a world of krypton rewrite.
In the end it it just an ancient greek mythology ripoff of heracles.
I would say wait for cable/netflix or whatever costs least.
you could check you emails and look for any interesting FR postings DURING the movie and not mis a single relivent point.
It was ok, not ooooh ahhh good.
not a lazy pathetic pseudo rewrite like the Star Trek II reboot.
the illegal alien lobby is pushing this as an example of being illegal.
they forget clark kent was "a" adopted and "b" represented as the product of martha and johnathan kent depending on which incarnation.

Review: Fish did not arrive frozen. Though your customer service says otherwise, I am uncomfortable refreezing and eating fish that arrives soft to the touch. I would like a refund on two pieces I had to discard because they were too soft. - Thank you for ordering with Vital Choice. I do see you have spoken with our Customer Service team regarding your recent delivery. Thank you!

"Works well on a bed of spinach and mushrooms!!"
Laura on 2/16/2016 6:51:46 AM
Review: Love the petite size that Vital Choice offers for those of us with a love for smaller portions. The halibut is always moist and just perfect when paired with other things. One of our favorites...adding panko bread crumbs and tomatoes while baking also is very tasty.

Sheila M on 9/17/2015 7:54:42 AM
Review: Halibut is my favorite fish and this just melts in your mouth. The fish in the local grocery stores can't compare to the quality of this fish. I also appreciate the 4-oz standardized portion sizes since I'm on a restricted diet, this is the perfect size.

Publisher's Description
Learn how to work for genuine and effective change in your church without trying to throw out everything that has gone before.
Pastors and other congregational leaders are eager to institute meaningful and effective change in their congregations. They know that old attitudes and perspectives prevent the church from fulfilling its mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Yet too often church advocates insist that if genuine change is to occur in the church, then everything must change. The board must be wiped clean, and new technologies, new worship styles, and even new theologies must replace what has come before.
The problem with such calls for radical change, says Lovett Weems, Jr., is that they are not true to the way that genuine and lasting change takes place. Like every other organization, churches rest on a cultural foundation of shared assumptions, values, and practices. The paradox of successful change is that this foundation is at the same time the source of resistance to change and what makes change possible. Lasting, transformational change grows out of the congregation's current sense of its story and its mission. Transformational leaders know how to build on the church's identity, making new ministries and emphases the natural extension of what has gone before. In other words they know how to make the story of change the next chapter in the book of the congregation's life, rather than throwing the book away and trying to start over.
An astute student of management and leadership theory, Weems offers congregational leaders essential insights into how they can work with and through their churches' ministries to bring about authentic and faithful growth.

[Self-portrait and narrative by my mother.]
I purchased this inexpensive Federal 6.3 diffusion enlarger along with a developing tank, thermometer, contact printer, safelight, timer, easel, basic chemicals, trays, and tongs. From the beginning I was most excited about being able to crop and compose my images with the enlarger. The contact printer gathered dust while I fed roll after roll directly through the Federal, making 4x5 enlargements instead of contact prints.
An eye can detect in the darkroom an out-of-focus photo or a subject who has blinked at the moment of exposure or other fatal flaws that make a negative a candidate for the trash bin before ever being printed, wasting paper, chemicals and time.
I was frugal, and the enlarger enabled me. Thriftiness actually made me a better photographer! Not wanting to waste led to careful composition, focus, and exposure. Actually, I took few photos. A roll of 12 exposures yielded 10 keepers or more. I would go on an entire afternoon shoot with one roll of film.
During my day we were advised to bracket our exposures, taking one additional picture at a slightly larger aperture than the meter indicated, and one at a smaller – probably a wise precaution. The Dutch in me said, Take a careful meter reading, silly, and use the result!
After a few years of darkroom experience I bought a bigger, better
condenser enlarger –
an Omega B4 – and disposed of the Federal. Then I missed it greatly and never quite got used to the new one. It was supposed to be an autofocus, but I always found myself sharpening the image, creating images that were startlingly hard and unforgiving. I think the Omega intimidated me. It now sits shrouded in plastic in the basement. I never get a rush of warmth when vacuuming around it, as I do when contemplating this old photo of the dear Federal.
I made an attempt in this photo to create darkroom-like lighting. I used just one 100-watt bare bulb positioned where the safelight normally hung, and of course I placed the camera on a tripod. Remember, we didn't have auto-focus cameras then, so the solution was to place something where the subject was to be in the photo, (here, me!) go to the camera and focus on it, screw the self-timer in, rush back into position, look composed, and wait for the shutter to click. What I did was rest a yardstick on my chair leaning on the enlarger about where my head would be, and focused on it. To look authentic, I should have had a negative image showing in the easel. I thought about it at the time actually. Fussy, fussy!
For some reason I must have reversed this image, because the uniforms I wore at work buttoned on the opposite side. Although the darkroom was at the doctor's office where I worked, I did my darkroom work after office hours. I was his "right arm" and he kept me hopping all day long. But I stayed after work in the evenings or on Saturday afternoons if I wasn't needed on a home call after Saturday morning office hours.
The doctor was an artist himself. He painted fine European-style scenes in oil on an easel in his wife's pleasant sunroom. So he followed the darkroom set-up with interest, commented on my photographs, and in general was really encouraging, in addition to providing an entire room for my use. (Lots of water too!) It didn't hurt that I photographed his children often, took passport photos of him and his wife before they departed on a European vacation, and made a still-life of his favorite comfy shoes tossed next to his well-worn "doctor bag." I mailed an enlargement to him at his kinfolk's address in Amsterdam. The photo was a hit!
Surfsong, jA., Yolise, Zmanphoto, and 440 other people added this photo to their favorites.
What an inspiring combination of image and story. Darkroom magic.
I never would have thought to have my hair done before going into the darkroom. But I am glad that you did.
How beautiful is this shot? Wow.
sheer cinematic class,seriously lovely image.
you guys should be working on the tv series madmen...
great series ..
Wonderful series. On Facebook, I pointed the 3,402 members of my "Old Boro Park" (nostalgic) to here. My mom was just like yours with her fascination of photography. She developed film but only made contact prints of her large 620 negatives. She also loved her reel-to-reel Webcor recorder. I in turn, miss my darkroom, although I do still have the equipment, sadly it gathers dust. I vow to use it soon.
Anthony, thanks for the mention of Mom's World to your Facebook "Old Boro Park." MANY of them must have taken a look given a big peak of hits! Interesting about your own mom's darkroom work 'way back. Do try to get back to your equipment yourself. It was such joy.
Your mom is gorgeous .
This was your mother wow! Brings back memories for me, my father had a home developing studio, he was a prolific photographer, always using me in his studio and out and about London in the 1950s.
What a beauty! A lot more like Veronica Lake than Lauren Bacall.
Wondered about the uniform till I read the story.
Good. ...
I thought it was Rita Hayworth
This is beautiful. : )
Great story, great photographer and great model combined. I hope your mother had lots of good photos taken of her too.
That's not a model, that's my mom. It's a self-portrait. There are lots more in the Mom's World set.
Joey Harrison Sorry for misunderstanding or any unintended offence caused. I used the word 'model' as shorthand, meaning that your mother was not only a photographer but (as others have noted here too) could have been a model too.
No offense caused at all.
Amazing Self port by Your mother..Hollywood mood lighting with a simple bulb and the silhouette that the Federal enlarger created is brilliant, and...to be honest I cant imagine Lauren Bacall ever looked so glamorous next to an enlarger in a darkroom...what a really special moment, artfully described by the woman herself...thank you for sharing the image and the story...
Thanks for the nice comment. My mom would be pleased.
Great story, thanks for sharing!

Joey Gerard's is retro done right
So, there's this thing about food and memory.
Joey Gerard's, the pair of Bartolotta supper clubs that opened this year in Greendale and Mequon (and there might be more in the future), taps into that mighty connection. It goes full-on retro in its homage to Wisconsin's meat-and-potato-centric social centers, with some Hollywood glamour thrown in. »Read Full Article(20)

Plumber dies on the job
Published: Saturday, January 25, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 25, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
MOUNTAIN HOME -- A Hendersonville plumber died Friday when a water storage tank exploded while he was trying to thaw frozen water pipes.
Kim S. Orr, 39, of 1 Curtis Drive, died in Park Ridge Hospital in Fletcher after the accident on Old Wagon Trail off Holbert Road, Henderson County Sheriff's Department detective Lt. Walter Harper said.
Record-setting low temperatures Thursday night, which covered most of the south behind a winter storm Wednesday, caused power outages and frozen water lines in Henderson County.
Many people struggled to repair their water lines Friday as power was restored across the county.
Orr, who owned his own plumbing business, was working on the pump house of a relative at about 10:30 a.m. Friday trying to thaw frozen pipes when pressure built in a storage tank, Harper said.
The pressure caused the tank to explode and debris struck Orr in the chest, he said.
Orr was breathing when first responders from Mountain Home Fire Department and paramedics from Henderson County Emergency Medical Service responded to the accident.
But Harper said he soon went into cardiac arrest. The emergency workers performed CPR on Orr until he arrived at Park Ridge Hospital.
Orr was pronounced dead at the hospital at 11:19 p.m. He died from massive trauma to his chest, Harper said.

text: Posted August 14, 2014 I've never understood why Bench Press is the only lift they make players do at the combine. It's not entirely useless, but if you're only going to do one lift squats or power cleans would give you a better idea of their football strength. Does anyone know the reasoning for bench press only? At this point the my guess would be tradition. They need ways to benchmark against over the past years, as flawed as it may be.

Contact Energy, which has hydro assets on the Clutha River,
produced a result which was a ''little disappointing'', in
the six months ended December, Forsyth Barr broker Andrew
Rooney said yesterday.
Operating profit was up 4.3% to $264 million in the period
but Mr Rooney was expecting operating earnings of $269
The energy business segment of the earnings was $9 million
lower at $244 million, less than expected but partially
offset by the ''other segment'' product a $20 million
operating earnings result - $4 million better than expected.
''We are somewhat surprised at the underperformance of the
energy business segment as Contact's monthly operating
statistics effectively provide the monthly operating result.
It appears there has been a late adjustment which has not
been explained in the materials provided,'' he said.
Although the result was disappointing, there did not appear
to be any issues affecting long-term thinking on the company,
Mr Rooney said.
''Our full-year forecast is likely to be pulled back slightly
but we do not expect a material change to our target price
following further analysis of the result.''
The interim dividend was unchanged at 11 cents per share, or
83% of earnings after tax of $92 million. While Contact had
talked in the past about increased capital returns, it was
silent yesterday.
Mr Rooney said he expected Contact to delay increasing
capital returns until after the election. The Labour and
Green parties were proposing to establish a single pricing
authority for the electricity energy if they formed the next
Contact chief executive Dennis Barnes said it was important
Contact operated in a stable regulatory environment, given
the long-term nature of the industry.
''Consumers are seeing clear evidence the current market is
working with high levels of competition leading to lower
prices. In the past six months alone we have seen customers
continue to take up a range of discounted products in the
market with overall savings of up to 22% on their electricity
Contact had committed to not increasing the energy component
of its customers bills and believed the existing market
structure, with improvements and transparency, would continue
to serve New Zealand well, Mr Barnes said.
The company's earnings had become more predictable with the
reduction in gas take-or-pay commitments, the upgrade of the
interisland transmission link and investment in thermal plant
Higher-than-normal inflows to hydro schemes avoided the need
to run expensive thermal generation and reduced energy costs.
''With more customers on discounted prices, Contact
maintained sales volumes and customer numbers in what remains
a highly competitive retail market.''
Contact was continuing to hold market share in one of the
most competitive retail electricity markets in the world, Mr
Barnes said.
Strong competition and lower wholesale prices increased the
number of electricity and gas customers on discounted
products, resulting in reduced margins.
Warmer weather and lower usage per customer resulted in a
reduction in residential demand but that was more than offset
by increased sales in the commercial and industrial business.
Contact yesterday registered a five-year retail bond offer
expected to raise up to $250 million with an interest rate of
between 5.8% and 6%, based on investor demand, he said.
Contact was approaching the end of its refinancing programme
with new funding secured through a wholesale bond, a private
placement with United States institutional investors and
additional bank facilities.
The refinancing programme aimed to increase the duration and
maintain the diversity of Contact's funding sources.
In an environment of low growth, Contact would target further
efficiencies, while significantly reduced capital expenditure
would generate greater free cash flow, Mr Barnes said.
For the remainder of the financial year, Contact would focus
on completing the Te Mihi geothermal power station and
implementing the retail transformation programme.
Those two projects would provide lower cost generation and
new capabilities to offer products and solutions that better
met customer needs, he said.
Meridian Energy reports its interim result this morning.

Grenade Free America. Coined on Season 2 of MTV's Jersey Shore by Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Pauly D when they create a game plan to bring no grenades (The solitary ugly girl always found with a group of hotties. If the grenade doesn't get any action, then neither does anyone else. Someone in your group of friends must sacrifies himself by hooking up with the grenade in order for the rest to have a chance of having sex with the hot girls) back to the house after last season's fight, in which a "hippo" they brought home fought with Nicole "Snookie" Polizzi.
DJ Pauly D-"Me and the Situation have a game plan. There will be no grenades in Miami. 100% No Grenades"

GFA: An abbreviation for "Good from Afar", used to describe a girl who is thought to be good looking from far away, but when seen closer is not attractive at all
Man, she was a real GFA, I hope her future husband proposes at a distance
by JIMHAWKINS1 August 06, 2008
In the military, if a live grenade landed near a group of soldiers one of them would jump on the grenade to try to save his fellow soldiers. When a guy jumps on a "grenade," it symbolizes the grenade as the ugly girl in a group of girls at a club or party. Grenade Free America is a term used by the fist-pumping douchebags on jersey shore
"dude that girl by the bar is a perfect 10, i need you to jump on the grenade to her left though"..this situation would happen if it was GFA

Now if i do copy command to protected folder if does not prompt for elevation instead it fails with error message 'access denied'. I dont want to disable it, but work with it. What language should i code in if i want to work with UAC.
There is no built-in tool for executing commands with elevated privileges. Here's what you can do:

Madoff Gets Off Again
He's strapped himself into his vest and is trundling back to his Upper East Side apartment right now!
A second judge has denied another bid by prosecutors to jail Bernard Madoff before his trial, and the Ponzi schemer is headed back to his plush apartment for another Top Chef marathon right now. But the picture at right, which Chris's dad forwarded to him today, proves that while Madoff may have been able to avoid jail thus far, he cannot avoid the anger. [NYP]

Polishing the terminal window with Bashish
Bashish adds a dash of style to the command line.
If you are a regular command line user, you may appreciate the spartan appearance of the terminal window. But for occasional shell users, or readers who would prefer a more playful approach, Bashish [1] opens a treasure trove of options. Bashish gives your terminal window a colorful ASCII graphic background.
Bashish lets you liven up the appearance of terminal programs such as Gnome Terminal, Xterm, Rxvt, Rxvt Unicode, Aterm, Mlterm, and the Linux Console, and you can change a limited range of settings such as the title bar in the Konsole KDE terminal emulation window. Bashish developer, Thomas Eriksson, is planning additional support for Konsole. He recommends using the bash shell, although the program will support other shells such as Zsh and Tcsh.

Chapel Hill Public Library
A department of the Town of Chapel Hill
Friends of Chapel Hill Public Library
The 550-member Friends of the Chapel Hill Public Library is a non-profit organization of citizens committed to furthering the excellence of the Chapel Hill Public Library.
The primary activities of the Friends include running the Friends Book Store (inside the Library, right next to the lower entrance), four annual big book sales, and monthly Meet-the-Author Teas. Books Sandwiched In is a book discussion group that meets the first Wednesday of (almost) every month at the Library.
Bookstore hours:
Monday-Wednesday 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Thursday-Saturday 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Sunday 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
The Friends provide financial support for Children's and adult programming and purchase the Library's movie licenses. Each summer, this allows the library to have weekly showings of current films based on children's books.
The Friends also foster community interest in current Library issues. In 2003, their efforts were instrumental in passing a $16.23 million expansion bond to increase the current library facility by 45,000 square feet. Today, the Friends continue to lobby actively for support of the Library.
The Board of Directors is elected by the membership in May at its annual meeting. Board meetings are held every other month at 4:30 p.m. in the Library Conference Room.

I have a client who's blog keeps switching back to the default theme. They report that it happens after they make a new post, but I don't know if that's really the case or not or if they only notice it then.
Does anyone have any clue why this would happen?
