REDUCED SUGAR Peanut Butter Fudge. Made with natural peanut butter.
What Does REDUCED SUGAR Mean?
REDUCED SUGAR fudge ingredients use isomalt and fructose as sugar substitutes. Isomalt was developed in the early 1950s and is easily tolerated by diabetics. Its about 50% lower in calories than regular sugar and only 50% of isomalt is metabolized in the human body. Fructose is a naturally occurring sweetener found in fruit and it causes a slower rise in blood glucose levels than other simple sugars. Fructose is a primary ingredient in many products geared towards diabetics.

So much was expected from the Chicago Bulls at the start of the 2015 NBA season, and the hiring of coach Fred Hoiberg in replacement for Tom Thibodeau to supposedly bring a "change in approach" intrigued Bulls fans. But it turned out to be a tough season, as Hoiberg struggled to make their pieces gel. Plus, a major rift developed between their new coach, Joakim Noah, and Jimmy Butler.
The 2016-2017 preview for the Bulls looks so much brighter now with key changes made to their roster, especially with the addition of Dwyane Wade. It's only a matter now of getting their talents to work together, and improving their chemistry.

Season Outlook
While the Chicago Bulls failed to land in the playoffs last season, which was the first time to happen in the last seven years, this season they have more reason to be excited. The direction of their game will be in stable hands with Rajon Rondo, who's undoubtedly talented, and with experience being an NBA champion.
Another source of inspiration is Dwyane Wade who's proven himself over the years to be a dependable scorer, and passionate athlete, which they hope to lead, and lift up their spirits, especially with the young guys in the roster who need to step up.
It will be interesting to see Jimmy Butler share his leadership role with Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. We also hope his beef with Fred Hoiberg is finally put to rest.
The future looks bright for the newly transformed Bulls, and they're expected to make it to the playoffs again, and even stick around a bit longer.
Key stats in the league from last season
The Bulls stats last season were quite average, which is a testament to their 42-40 season record. However, they had monumental performances for having won 6 straight wins in spite of their internal conflicts with their new coach. It only shows us a glimpse of what they are capable of, albeit rocked with inconsistency.
Key Weakness For Upcoming Season: Leadership, untested teamwork
It is worth noting that while they do have a talented line up this upcoming season, they're still untested as a team. However, to let go of potential disputes, right from the outset of the trade Dwyane Wade made it openly known that the Bulls remains Jimmy Butler's team, and that he's just happy to play back up, and to provide veteran leadership.
Coach Fred Hoiberg needs to strengthen his resolve and control his players. He was criticized for this weakness last season, for not being "tough enough", and there could still be some bitterness between the two.
Prediction: The Bulls will do well all throughout the season, although they may struggle a bit from the start. They are expected to be able to deal with the pressure because of their veteran leaders, and there's no question at all that they do have the talents needed in their roster. Coach Fred Hoiberg is expected to do better this year, after learning from his mistakes during his second year, and he's getting a ton of help with the positive influence of Wade. The Bulls seem destined to get back to the playoffs in the 2016-2017 NBA season.

Quick post on Huawei CRC9 antenna jack.
This is a very small antenna connector found on some of Huawei's 3G broadband modems.
The jack has a ground and two pads. They are NC (normally closed) meaning that when you attach an antenna they will open up and the RF circuit will feed the external antenna instead of the internal one.
I had to dig around a lot to find some info on this, and found a russian site with some info.
Detail of the connector:
Why is this relevant? Because i didn't had a CRC-9 pigtail around and had to solder coax directly to the board. Yes, it works. No i don't recommend. This was hooked up to my DIY yagi antenna.

On April 7th, armed with nothing more than a sleeping bag and a piece of cardboard, I will take on the challenge of sleeping outside on the streets of Toronto so that homeless youth don't have to. It will be cold. It will be dark. But for one night I can give up the comforts of home knowing it can bring warmth and brightness to the young people who need it most.
Sleep Out is a unique experiential event that will be taking place in downtown Toronto. I will be one of the many men and women, alongside some influential folks from across different industries who will do whatever it takes to fight youth homelessness.
10,000 kids spend some time living on the streets of Toronto each year. For three decades, Covenant House Toronto has offered some 90,000 homeless kids the opportunity and hope to move from a life on the street to a life with a future. There are countless more out there that need our help. Click Here for more info.

How do I use chmod to change permissions?
There are three basic modes to files and directories: readable, writable, and executable. Additionally, each of these modes can be applied to the user, a group, or everybody.
"user" means you, the person who owns the file. "other" means everyone else on the machine. "group" is a list of people you can specify. If you want to create your own special group of users, follow the instructions in the answers article " Using 'setgrp' and 'chgrp' to share files with a group of users".
You can determine the modes on files by executing the command "ls -l". The leftmost field for each file will contain the information for the modes.
The 10 characters in the first field refer to the following characteristics:
Character What it means 1 "d" if a directory, "-" if a file 2 "r" if file is readable to user, "-" if not 3 "w" if file is writable to user, "-" if not 4 "x" if file is executable to user, "-" if not 5-7 same as 2-4, with reference to group 8-10 same as 2-4, with reference to everyone on eniacAs an example:
example% ls -lg total 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 273 Mar 24 11:28 file1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 user group 1449 Jan 29 14:01 file2 -rwx------ 1 user group 4119 Jan 26 13:22 file3file1 is readable and writable to the user, and readable to everyone on eniac. file2 is readable, writable, and executable by everyone. file3 is readable, writable, and executable only to the user.
To change the permissions of a file, one uses the "chmod" command, with the following syntax:
example% chmod [who][op][permissions] filename
"who" refers to the users that have a particular permission: the user ("u"), the group ("g"), or other users ("o", also known as "world"). "op" determines whether to add ("+"), remove ("-") or explicitly set ("=") the particular permissions. "permissions" are whether the file should be readable ("r"), writable ("w"), or executable ("x"). As an example:
will add executable permission for the user to file1.
example% chmod u+x file1
will remove write permission for others for file2.
example% chmod o-w file2
will explicitly make file3 readable and executable to everyone. Note that
you can combine the "who" and "permissions" fields to allow multiple values.
example% chmod ugo=rx file3
For more information on changing permissions, use the "man chmod" command.

WESTPORT - The Westport girls dominated both the MVAC and Class D last year, suffering their only loss in the regional playoffs to Section X's Harrisville. This year, with five players returning, they remain a force to be reckoned with.
The Eagles lost four players to graduation, including MVAC co-MVP Martha McKinley.
Her sister, junior Willa McKinley, with whom Martha shared the award last year, and senior Christina Sherman, an All-Star at point guard last year, return to lead the defending champions.
Seniors Nancy Armitage and Molly Rascoe also return, as does junior guard Allison Sherman, who gave Westport a good spark off the bench last year.
Juniors Karlee McGee, Mallory Sudduth and Emily French, along with promising freshman Brendee Russell, will give the Eagles plenty of depth.
"My expectations for the team this year are that we compete with honor every night," said Westport head coach Hokey McKinley.

Thank You!

Miss Fortune Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
No description needed just try it and come back with a comment if you like it and you think is good,oh yeah..... and please rate it....:D.
Another note: Order of skills and items may change based on who you are against.
Start with Vampiric Scepter gives you the chance to stay in lane longer the pots or ant dorans item. Plus it converts later into Executioner's Calling.
Next get 2 Avarice Blade. Yes TWO. The total 24% crit plus the 1/sec with both will really make a difference late game. Make sure to get them before 10 mins for max effect. It takes the second one 6 minutes and a few seconds to profit gold directly. The first tho will later be turned into Youmuu's Ghostblade.
Now rush Berserker's Greaves. No ifs/ands/buts about it unless you REALLY need merc treads. The AS buff from greaves means more crits out of your cannon/min. Then Executioner's Calling.
Now rush Infinity Edge in whatever order you can afford. I like to start with B.F.Sword but money doesn't always go that way. If I can't get the sword first I get Cloak of Agility (I am based on scoring crits). Now that IE is finished your crits do over 300% damage to enemies.
Now I make 2 Zeal by selling one Avarice Blade for AS, crit chance, and move speed. Following this is making the first blade into Youmuu's Ghostblade.
By now the game is sometimes long over but not always. Sell that Executioner's Calling for a The Bloodthirster now and then if you can EVER afford it finish the 2 Zeal into 2 Phantom Dancer or sell one to make a Last Whisper for more Armor Pen.
P.S. This is not my build i've taken the build from another site but in my opinion is the best build for Miss Fortune also use it on Tristana(original build is for her but work great on Miss too) just take care and stay in lane to make the gold than it is a piece of cake :D.Hope you like it.

Genre: Point-and-Click Graphic Text Adventure
Release date: December 1, 2016
Reviewed on: Android, available for Windows
The Filmmaker is the third title that Unimatrix Productions has built with their Storycentric Worlds game engine. The first two, Shady Brook and Lifestream, were released last year and I enjoyed them immensely. As my reviews indicate, both are praise-worthy games that I recommend for those who enjoy an adventure with a focus on story and characters. For gamers who are not already familiar with Unimatrix, Christopher Brendel originally released all three titles as traditional 2D point-and-click adventures. Since then, he has developed a new game engine/interface and has re-released his stories in an entirely new format that advances the genre of interactive fiction.
The Filmmaker was originally released in 2010. While the essential plot elements remain the same, the new version expands the story and further develops the characters. It is now played from the first-person view of our heroine, Brianna. She is a young African-American woman who has recently lost her father and is dealing with the aftermath of family grief. Brianna is an avid fan of "B" movies (you know, the low-budget films that would have second billing if the world still had double-features), and these provide her a means of escape (albeit brief) from reality.
The local movie theater has recently closed after a series of untimely employee deaths. Since the story takes place before the days of Netflix and Redbox, this closure has had a big impact on Brianna. Imagine her delight when she receives word that the theater will reopen for one night to showcase a new title by acclaimed filmmaker Claude Ferucil. She enters the familiar theater with a sense of wonder and anticipation but soon discovers that all is not well in movieland. Claude's recent film successes are tied to the dark arts and Brianna must vanquish evil and free the souls of those trapped in Claude's web.
One thing I truly appreciate about the games from Unimatrix is that the interface and mechanics remain the same across titles. Starting The Filmmaker felt like greeting an old friend and I began enjoying the story without needing to pause and figure out how things work. For newcomers, the interface is very intuitive with icons for inventory, informational items, location maps, Brianna's notes and directional travel. Although this is an illustrated text adventure, there is no typing. All actions are performed by pointing and clicking on a PC or tapping on a tablet. You converse with characters, make decisions, choose actions, throw punches, and solve puzzles…all with a single click or tap.
Brianna's soul-saving quest is made more challenging by the puzzles that are an integral part of the story. Many are of the find-and-use variety but others include decoding messages, interpreting symbols, opening locked containers and avoiding death. To solve an inventory-based puzzle, items are equipped and used by clicking. Other puzzle solutions are presented as a series of choices that must be clicked in the correct order. Hints are available upon request for the more difficult conundrums.
The world of The Filmmaker is not just limited to the theater. A magic portal allows the player to enter the celluloid world of Claude's films. There are five unique film environments with new character roles and storylines that become available as the full scale of Claude's treachery is revealed. Inventory items and clues found in the films can be used to solve puzzles in the "real" world of the theater and vice versa. This adds a layer of complexity to the story and forces the player to think outside of the proverbial box.
Waging war with evil is risky business and there are several chances to die along the way. The game is auto-saved and fatal choices result in a chance to try again without losing any game progress.
The Filmmaker is the best that Unimatrix has released so far. The story is very well-written with dialog that flows naturally. The characters are likable and I could not help but care about Brianna's fate and cheer her on. Christopher Brendel has proved, once again, that he is a man of many talents…a gifted writer with the unique ability to transform a story into an engaging adventure game.
For me, the Storycentric Worlds interface provides the perfect balance of reading and interaction. It is an immersive experience that is best enjoyed on a portable device when curled up on the couch.
+ Well written story with good character development
+ Intuitive game mechanics – all the fun of an illustrated text adventure without the typing
+ Better than relaxing on the couch with a good book
- Those looking for 3D environments with more action may want to look elsewhere

Title: His to Protect
Series: A Fireside Novel #2
Author: Stacey Lynn
Publisher: Random House – Loveswept
Pub Date: July 12th, 2016
Genre: Battered women, romance, tortured soul, pets, dog lover, animal lover
Blurb: A warm home for broken hearts, the Fireside Grill serves up hope and healing in equal measure. Stacey Lynn's sensual, deeply emotional series heats up as a jaded restaurateur falls hard for a woman who's hiding from a damaged past.
Declan James lost his last ounce of trust the day his wife walked out the door, leaving him to save the restaurant they built together. Throwing himself into his work, Declan swears off women—or at least, women who expect him to stick around in the morning. But when he discovers a skittish beauty scrounging through the Fireside's trash to feed her dog, Declan offers her a job and a place to rest her head. There's just something about her that awakens his protective side. And soon, not even that mangy mutt can stop Declan from caring for her.
After one too many trips to the ER, Trina Wilson finally gathered the courage to leave her husband, taking only her car and hyperactive boxer. Unfortunately, life on the run proves harder than she anticipated—until Declan takes a leap of faith on her. But even as Trina starts to see beyond his gruff exterior, she can't relax, even for a moment. Not with her husband still tracking her down. What Trina doesn't know is that in Declan, she has a powerful ally—and, if she would only follow her heart, a devoted lover.

Pension savings hit by a rise in interest rates could be boosted with equity release, says LV=. more
Over 50s intend to sell up or use equity release to fund their retirement and boost their pension income. more
Pensioners could use equity release to unlock the £775billion of property they own. more
Equity release is set to beome increasingly important to fill the pension gap. more
Equity release is destined to 'become a more integral part of retirement planning' to counteract the pension crisis, according to financial research company Defaqto.
More retirees will come to rely on equity release to supplement their pensions, argues David Black, banking specialist at Defaqto, despite a number of lenders pulling out of the equity release market in recent years.
"A number of providers have exited the market over the past couple of years citing either funding constraints or more profitable opportunities in alternative product areas," Mr Black said.
"Equity release has long been thought of as a sleeping giant but, given the perilous state of many people's pensions, it can only be a matter of time before the two types of equity release schemes - lifetime mortgages and home reversions - become a more integral part of retirement planning."
Research from Defaqto has revealed that equity release is becoming increasingly more expensive when compared to the residential mortgage market. Its figures show that the gap is widening between the lifetime equity release rates and long-term fixed rate mortgages, the nearest product to equity release in the mainstream market.
The gap now stands at 1.45 per cent, based on an average lifetime mortgage at a rate of 7.17 per cent and the average long-term fixed rate mortgage of 10 years or more at a rate of 5.72 per cent.
This is compared to a gap of 0.63 per cent in August 2007, based on average lifetime and long-term fixed mortgage rates of 7.06 and 6.43 per cent respectively.
But, this widening gap can be explained, at least in part, by changes in equity release regulation; a 'no negative equity guarantee' has been put in place to protect the homeowner, but this represents an additional cost to the mortgage lender of 0.7 per cent per annum, Mr Black explained.
"The equity release business model clearly favours providers who also sell annuities, but the industry in general faces a number of pressing issues if it is to grow. These include: funding constraints need to be remedied; competition needs to increase along with the entry of more 'household name' providers and consumer confidence in the product needs to be reinforced," he added.
"Increased competition should result in a narrowing of the interest rate gap between lifetime mortgages and long term fixed rate residential mortgages."
Andrea Rozario – director general of equity release trade body SHIP (Safe Home Income Plans) – welcomed Defaqto's report.
"Measures on lifetime mortgages such as the no negative equity guarantee, security of tenure and no monthly repayments affect the pricing structure of the products naturally leading to a slightly higher rate. However, these safeguards provide a wealth of reassurance that customers want when they choose to access the equity in their homes," she explained.
"Within this research, Defaqto also highlighted the growth potential of the market and the benefits that this will bring to consumers. SHIP is actively working to grow the industry and we believe that as the funding issues ease, we will see the market expand and over time, new companies enter the sector."

Two men were arrested Monday night after police officers, who pulled them over for running a stop sign in Lakeview, discovered they had half a pound of pot in the car, county prosecutors said.
Gerrick Birt, 24, of Matteson, Ill., and Mikal Johnson, 23, of the 1200 block of West Belden Avenue, were charged with felony possession of cannabis after police officers allegedly found in their car two bags of weed and one scale, which Johnson admitted belonged to him, according to the police report. The pot was worth more than $1,400, the report said.

Letter from Albert Fazionino Concerning Laboratory Animal Testing - 20 Nov 2005
I need your help to stop this monster: Mr. Vidal Barchilon.
He works at AGAN CHEMICAL in Israel. His main job is to get uninspected Animal Labs in the third world in order to do all refused/restricted studies in his own country and the European Union.
Thousands of beautiful little animals have an horrible death because of this guy inside inside non qualify labs under pesticides exposition in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa.
You only try to think about him being like Hitler and compare those animal labs with concentration camps.
So, what can we do to stop this man?
Please, Do contact me to find a way to stop him.
Mr. Albert Fazionino
Reply from Frank and Mary Hoffman
Dear Albert:
Thank you very much for writing and for telling us about this situation. We have been seeing more and more of this in recent years.
Since what he is doing is technically "legal" (you should check your own laws to see if he is breaking any laws), it is very difficult to bring any legal action that will have any positive results.
Our suggestion is to do everything you (we) can to expose the truth to as many people as we can. If you can write a few short articles, we'd be happy to publish them on our web site. Get your local animal rights groups to take up the cause, too. We need to get the public to peacefully demand an end to animal cruelty.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary

She missed him, but not the way that she thought she would. She missed being his friend and always being able to turn to him when everything went crashing down on top of her.
She hated him for so long for not fighting for her. For not believing that she was good enough and the worst of all, she hated him for making her hurt more than she ever thought was possible.
He was her first love and now all that's left where he once was is an empty whole in her heart. He was her friend, the one that promised her the world and asked almost nothing for himself. She fell in love without knowing it. True love, or so she thought.
The things that he says and the things that he does make her believe that she's in a dream, one that she never wants to end, but all good dreams must come to an end.
She hated calling him, after they parted ways, because she could still hear the love in his voice and her heart would tell her to scream what it was feeling. But she ignored it she had to if she was going to let him go for him to be happy. She never thought she was right for him, no matter how many time him or her heart told her that she was. She was scared of everything that he wanted for and with her, but she couldn't tell him that either.
It had been four years since she had seen or talked to him. Four years of hell and she often wondered if he thought of her, if he wondered why she did what she did to keep him at arms reach and finally drive him away.
She always thought of herself as a screw up, one that doesn't deserve a first chance at anything, let alone a second one. She messed up the perfect relationship that she wanted and now all she can do is think about what she once had and wish that she could have again.
She walked alone down the middle of the street, staring up at the sky remembering all those nights warm that they would just walk the streets. She jumped when she heard, or thought she heard somebody call her name. She turned around and saw him standing there staring at her like the last four years hadn't happened.
"Yes..." he paused. "It's been a while."
"Yeah, I guess it has." she looked around nervously.
He walked over to her and sat his hands on her shoulders.
"Things haven't changed..."
She shook her head.
"Can't you see that they have? We've both have changed."
"I love you!"
She woke up and looked around the room and slowly started to cry herself back to sleep again. Hopefully deep enough to have dreamless sleep.

This is one of the best cakes I've ever made and it's a great dessert for a gathering because it feeds a crowd. It got the stamp of approval from both my dad and my husband. The recipe is from a women's club cookbook so it's old fashioned and basic. Easy too.
You can top this cake with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar…but there is also a brown sugar and butter glaze that's truly amazing. If time allows, I highly recommend going the glaze route!
You can see the fresh apple bundt cake recipe and more pictures over on my eBay blog. Just click the button below.

'Day Became You' Ian Roland - leaves you wanting more, a lot more(February 15, 2017)
There are many exponents of the catchy hook, some good, some outstanding ... one of the latter is Ian Roland who, together with Simon Yapp and Nigel Stonier, has quietly got on with delivering his distinctive brand of softly engaging Americana-tinged English folk. The latest offering, albeit incredibly brief, is the EP 'Day Became You'... and if you haven't come across Roland and Yapp before then take time to absorb the highly infectious music. Hear once and this will remain fixed in your head for days.
Released January 2017, 'Day Became You' opens with the captivating drive of 'Day Became You', which grabs your attention in the first few seconds and holds on throughout, the following track 'Shooting Star' slows things down with its softly-delivered vocals and gentle reflections on love, before 'Gravity Inside' punches back again with perfectly placed, ripping fiddle breaks ... potent lyrics, engaging vocals, memorable melody and more hooks than a long line fishing vessel ... 'Day Became You' does what all good EPs should do, leaves you wanting more, a lot more.
Musicians responsible for 'Day Became You' are Ian Roland (songwriting, vocals, guitars) Simon Yapp (fiddle, vocals, mandolin) Nigel Stonier (production, bass, piano, guitar, backing vocals) and Richard Young (drums).

JavaFX is easy once you get the hang of it, but for new programmers that requires plenty of examples. More experienced programmers will find one or two examples are enough to master most of JavaFX, so a lot of web sites only put one or two examples up—enough for experienced programmers, but not nearly enough for newer programmers.
In this post, I present the classic temperature converter example modified to use JavaFX. This example uses basic MVC/MVP design. If you want to see this same JavaFX tutorial written in pure Java, look for my other tutorial on this site. It will be the one mentioning pure Java instead of FXML.

February 16, 2017 19:23 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 16, 2017) - Western Forest Products Inc. (TSX:WEF) ("Western" or the "Company") announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. The Company reported fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $33.8 million in 2016, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $29.6 million in the same quarter last year, and $35.7 million reported in the third quarter of 2016. Targeted increases in log purchases facilitated higher Western Red Cedar lumber production and sales volumes that largely offset the normal seasonal decline in fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA. Improved log and lumber pricing, continued strength in the commodity lumber market and greater lumber shipments resulted in a 14% increase in fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA, as compared to last year. Notwithstanding adverse harvest conditions, Western achieved its highest fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA in ten years.
The Company reported revenue of $293.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $265.6 million in the same quarter last year, and record quarterly revenue of $322.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. Growing demand and strong pricing for the Company's log and lumber products, and a 3% increase in lumber production, as compared to the same quarter last year, drove the Company's fourth quarter revenue growth.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, Western generated adjusted EBITDA of $148.2 million on annual revenue of $1,187.3 million. This represents a 27% increase in adjusted EBITDA as compared to $117.1 million in the prior year, and a 10% increase in revenue as compared to $1,081.9 million in the prior year.
"Our record annual adjusted EBITDA and lumber revenues in 2016 were achieved through the successful execution of our strategic initiatives, including our purchasing additional specialty logs to support growth in speciality lumber sales and our increasing commodity lumber production to capitalize on improved pricing for those products," said Don Demens, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite uncertainty caused by the Softwood Lumber trade dispute with the United States, we remain committed to implementing our strategy of consolidating and optimizing our coastal business while at the same time building an enhanced platform that will support an accelerated pursuit of growth opportunities."
Net income of $36.2 million ($0.09 per diluted share) was reported for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $9.9 million ($0.02 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2015. Stronger operating results were supplemented by non-operating income of $14.1 million for the settlement of a 2011 partial tenure extinguishment, and $8.0 million from the net increase in fair value of the Company's private timberlands. Net income of $94.2 million ($0.24 per diluted share) was reported for the year ending December 31, 2016, as compared to $73.7 million ($0.18 per diluted share) for the prior year.
Fourth Quarter 2016
We generated fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $33.8 million, an increase of 14% from the same quarter in 2015. Targeted log purchases facilitated increased lumber shipments and improved lumber markets drove higher lumber price realizations. These factors largely offset the normal seasonal decline in fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA.
We increased fourth quarter lumber revenue to $220.7 million in 2016, growth of 14% from the same quarter of 2015. Targeted log purchases drove higher production and facilitated a 4% lumber sales volume increase to 236 million board feet. WRC shipments increased 19%, improving the fourth quarter lumber sales mix, and market demand for our products drove an 8% improvement in quarterly average lumber price realization.
Fourth quarter log revenue was $55.1 million in 2016, an increase of $1.5 million from the same period in 2015. A strong specialty log sales mix, continued strength in domestic sawlog markets and improved export demand delivered a 9% increase in average log price realizations. These factors more than offset a 9% reduction in sawlog sales volumes as a result of lower harvest levels in the fourth quarter of 2016.
By-products revenue was $17.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $17.6 million in the same period in 2015. By-product revenue declined as a result of lower realized pricing.
Lumber production was 242 million board feet, an increase of 3% from the prior year fourth quarter. Increased operating hours and the benefits of recent strategic capital investments drove a 7% increase in lumber production from the Company's seven primary sawmills.
Timberlands production decreased by 0.2 million cubic metres as compared to the same quarter of 2015, primarily due to adverse coastal weather conditions. Heavy rain and wind were followed by snow and ice late in the fourth quarter, preventing access to certain harvest areas and resulting in more than $0.9 million in incremental road repairs and other expenses. In combination with a 19% increase in helicopter logging volumes and increased stumpage costs, average fourth quarter log harvest cost rose by 10% as compared to the same period in 2015. Reduced harvest volumes were partially mitigated by a 13% increase in sawlog purchases over the same period of 2015.
Higher lumber sales volumes coupled with a relative increase in rail shipments drove a $4.1 million increase in fourth quarter freight costs as compared to the same period of 2015.
Selling and administration expense of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by $0.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2015. Significantly improved adjusted EBITDA drove higher fourth quarter performance-based compensation, which was offset by the mark-to-market reversal of share-based compensation expense.
Fourth quarter other income of $26.0 million in 2016, was a significant increase from other expense of $0.9 million in the same period of 2015. This increase reflects settlement compensation for an April 2011 partial tenure extinguishment, a gain on revaluation of biological assets, and a gain resulting from amendments to the Company's legacy defined benefit pension plans.
Fourth quarter finance costs of $1.0 million were $0.1 lower than the same quarter of 2015 as a result of lower average outstanding debt in the period.
Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2016 grew by $29.8 million over 2015, and led to higher net income as compared to the same quarter of 2015. Significantly increased other income was partly offset by increased income tax expense. Higher fourth quarter deferred income tax expense of $11.5 million was incurred 2016, as compared to $7.9 million in the same period of 2015, mainly as a result of earnings growth.
The funded position of our defined benefit and other retirement benefit plans is estimated at the end of each quarter. A net, after-tax actuarial gain of $5.7 million was realized through other comprehensive income in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the influence of an interest rate increase on the discount rate used to calculate benefit plan liabilities.
Year Ended December 31, 2016
Western achieved record annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA in 2016, and increased adjusted EBITDA margin to 12.5% as compared to 10.8% in 2015. By executing our log purchase strategy and leveraging our recapitalized manufacturing platform, we maintained our specialty product mix while growing lumber shipments.
Lumber revenue in 2016 was $883.5 million, a 15% increase compared to 2015. We increased lumber shipments by 8% to 952 million board feet and achieved higher price realizations. Strong specialty and improved commodity lumber markets delivered an average annual realized lumber price of $928 per thousand board feet, an increase of 6% from 2015. Targeted log purchases facilitated an 11% increase in WRC sales volumes, and higher mill utilization delivered increased production and a 7% increase in commodity lumber shipments. Specialty products represented 56% of total lumber shipments in 2016, consistent with 2015.
Log revenue was $235.6 million, a 3% decrease compared to 2015. Strong demand for our logs drove an 18% increase in average realized log price, as compared to 2015, and largely offset the impact of a 19% decrease in log shipments. We directed a greater proportion of log inventories internally to our mills, in part due to improved mill competitiveness. Pulp log pricing and sales volumes were depressed due to reduced pulp log demand on the BC coast.
By-product revenue in 2016 was $68.2 million, compared to $68.8 million in 2015. Incremental revenue from increased chip sales volumes was offset primarily by a 3% decrease in average realized chip prices.
We increased lumber production to 943 million board feet in 2016, from 891 million board feet in 2015. This was achieved by increasing operating hours at our primary mills and through realizing production efficiencies as a result of recent strategic capital investments. We also accessed significant additional log volumes on the open market to support increased lumber production, including a 13% increase in WRC production. Revenue growth from increased WRC shipments was partly offset by reduced lumber recovery and higher conversion costs associated with specialty production.
Total timberlands production volume was 4.4 million cubic metres, compared to 5.1 million cubic metres in 2015. The partial resolution to a contractor rate dispute in the third quarter of 2016 provided minimal harvest volumes in TFL 44; and all timberlands operations were impacted by late 2016 adverse coastal weather conditions, which have carried into the first quarter of 2017. An incremental $0.9 million expense was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2016 to repair timberlands infrastructure damaged as a result of sequential storm events. In addition, log production costs were impacted by higher stumpage costs and a greater proportion of helicopter logging in 2016 as compared to 2015.
To overcome a reduced harvest, we supplemented mill log supply by increasing sawlog purchase volumes by 36% and internalizing certain log sorts that would have been sold in past years.
Freight costs, which are predominantly denominated in USD, increased by 10% in 2016 to $96.8 million. Increased freight costs were primarily due to the 8% increase in lumber shipments, a weaker CAD, and a relative increase in lumber shipments direct to China.
Selling and administration expenses in 2016 were $27.5 million, compared to $22.2 million in 2015. Significantly improved financial performance resulted in higher performance-based compensation expense in 2016, while incremental consulting expenses were incurred for information technology improvements, to facilitate growth, and to address certain legal and professional service requirements. Movement in the Company's common share price, greater outstanding share unit balances, and prior year option forfeitures resulted in a relative increase of $0.8 million in mark-to-market and share-based compensation expenses over those periods. As a percentage of revenues our selling and administration costs were 2.3% for 2016, an increase from the 2.0% reported in 2015.
Operating Restructuring Items
In 2016, Western recorded restructuring expenses of $3.4 million, including $2.2 million of expense related to the closure of the Nanaimo sawmill and other severance costs. This compares to restructuring expenses of $4.3 million in 2015 of which $0.8 million related to the closure of the Nanaimo sawmill, with the remainder reflecting severance costs arising from the consolidation of the Company's Central Island timberlands operations, and the termination of certain sales agent agreements.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income of $24.2 million was reported in 2016, an increase from the prior year expense of $1.1 million. The significant increase in other income was largely the result of settlement compensation for an April 2011 partial tenure extinguishment, a gain on revaluation of biological assets, and a gain resulting from amendments to the Company's legacy defined benefit pension plans. Other expense of $1.1 million reported in 2015 was the result of asset impairments and remediation provisions offset by net gains on non- core property dispositions.
In October 2016, we received $14.1 million in settlement proceeds from the Province of BC for the April 2011 partial tenure extinguishment in TFL 44, reflecting value of approximately $135 per cubic metre of annual allowable cut eliminated. Settlement proceedings are ongoing in respect of compensation for improvements in the area removed from TFL 44 in 2011.
At December 31, 2016, we realized an $8.0 million increase in the fair value less costs to sell of our biological assets, primarily driven by log market price increases.
The Company's legacy defined benefit plans were amended to eliminate any further benefit accruals effective December 31, 2016. These plan amendments resulted in a $3.8 million past service credit relating to a reduction in future benefit payments.
Finance Costs
Finance costs decreased by $0.6 million from $5.0 million incurred in 2015 to $4.4 million in 2016, primarily due to reduced interest expense. Net debt decreased by $38.4 million, reducing average outstanding debt in 2016 by $16.7 million as compared to 2015.
Income Taxes
In 2016, deferred income tax expense of $32.2 million was recognized through net income, primarily relating to operating earnings. In 2015, a lower deferred income tax expense of $7.8 million was recognized through net income reflecting the offset of previously unrecognized deferred income tax assets.
In 2016, deferred income tax expense of $0.8 million was recognized through other comprehensive income and was the result of actuarial gains in the Company's legacy defined benefit pension plans. In 2015, deferred income tax recovery of $9.1 million was recognized through other comprehensive income in relation to previously unrecognized deferred income tax assets attributed to those same legacy pension plans.
At December 31, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries had unused non-capital tax losses carried forward totaling approximately $119.0 million, which expire between 2030 and 2035, and can be used to reduce taxable income. Deferred income tax assets related to the unused non-capital losses carried forward have been fully recognized in 2016, as it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.
In addition, the Company has unused capital losses of approximately $101.9 million, which are available indefinitely. Western has unrecorded deferred income tax assets related to the unused capital losses as they can only be applied against the taxable portion of capital gains, if any, arising in future years.
Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations in 2016 was $94.2 million, an increase from the prior year figure of $64.6 million. The significant increase was due primarily to a 69% increase in operating income partly offset by a related increase in deferred income tax expense.
Discontinued Operations
The Company had no discontinued operations during 2016. In 2015, the Company reported net income from discontinued operations of $9.1 million on the sale of the former Squamish pulp mill site and related assets for cash proceeds of $21.8 million, which were used to pay down debt and further its strategic capital programs.
Strategy and Outlook
Western's long-term business objective is to create superior value for shareholders by building a margin- focused log and lumber business of scale to compete successfully in global softwood markets. We believe this will be achieved by maximizing utilization of our forest tenures, to operate efficient, low-cost converting facilities and to produce and sell high-value softwood lumber and logs to global markets. We seek to manage our business with a focus on operating cash flow and maximizing the value of our fibre resource through the production cycle, from the planning of our logging operations to the production, marketing and sale of our log and lumber products.
The following strategic initiatives will continue to guide our focus:
Strengthen the Foundation
We have developed a track-record for consistently delivering positive operating income and reporting minimal net debt.
We have implemented or announced $101.9 million of strategic capital to strengthen our operating platform and position Western as the only company on the coast of BC capable of consuming the profile of the coastal forest and competitively manufacturing a diverse product mix. Recent capital reinvestment information is presented below under Strategic Capital Program Update.
Strategic capital investment completed and activated within the last 18 months have facilitated the consolidation of our manufacturing operations. By advancing the recapitalization and consolidation of our coastal operating base, we have improved the financial performance and stability of our business.
We continue to invest in people and systems to create a platform for growth in our existing operations and to facilitate the acceleration of our pursuit of margin-focused growth opportunities.
Grow the Base
We have grown annual revenue to $1,187.3 million in 2016, more than double the revenue reported in 2009.
We continue to optimize our operations and invest in our mills and timberlands to improve margins and grow our business through increased production.
The success of our business relationships with First Nations continues to drive incremental log volume and has enabled Western to grow specialty lumber production. We continue to pursue opportunities for long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with coastal First Nations.
We have implemented a non-capital margin improvement program to optimize our supply chain and further consolidate our business.
From a product marketing perspective, we are delivering on a strategy that drives the production and sale of targeted, high-margin products of scale to selected customers that value our product offerings.
Explore Opportunities
We are evaluating all opportunities to grow our margin-focused business and drive shareholder value.
Our ongoing reinvestment in and consolidation of our coastal operating base, steady improvements in our operating performance and a strong balance sheet have positioned Western to actively pursue external growth opportunities.
Market Outlook
We expect near-term pricing volatility caused by uncertainty over the Canada - United States ("US") softwood lumber trade dispute. However, we remain confident that over the mid to long term, growth in the US new home construction market as well as increasing demand from China, combined with reduced supply from the BC Interior due to the impacts of the Mountain Pine Beetle, will deliver an improved pricing environment. We will continue to utilize our newly capitalized, flexible operating platform to target the products and markets that offer the highest margin.
Limited log supply due to adverse harvest conditions in late 2016 and early 2017, coupled with growing demand, will support improved pricing of our WRC products ahead of the potential imposition of US duties. The same operating conditions are expected to support the sales of our Niche product lines in 2017.
We expect lumber demand in Japan to remain strong in the first half of 2017, and we continue to see opportunity over the medium term to capture a greater share of North American imports as US producers increasingly focus on supplying their domestic market. While the market remains competitive, we believe that our increased market share will lead to pricing leverage over the mid term.
We expect our commodity business to continue to benefit from increased demand from a more active US new home construction segment and greater demand from China. Our flexible product offerings are well suited to the Chinese market where the use of softwood lumber is expanding into a wider array of end uses including furniture, door and window components.
Limited supply due to adverse late fall and winter harvest conditions as well as stable demand will support pricing in the domestic sawlog market, while strong demand from China and Korea will support export log price realizations. The pulp log market is expected to improve as challenging harvest conditions have brought pulp log inventories into balance.
Updated on Softwood Lumber Dispute
The twelve-month standstill period of the Softwood Lumber Agreement, which precluded trade action by the US, expired October 12, 2016. In November 2016, a coalition of US lumber producers petitioned the US Department of Commerce ("DOC") and International Trade Commission ("ITC") to investigate alleged subsidies to Canadian lumber producers and initiate countervailing and anti-dumping duties. Preliminary findings of that investigation are expected regarding countervailing duties in April 2017 and in the second quarter of 2017 for anti-dumping duties. We intend to maintain our strong balance sheet and diversified product and geographic mix as we await the outcome of the trade discussions.
Strategic Capital Program Update
We continue to implement a strategic capital program that is designed to position Western as the only company on the coast of BC capable of sustainably consuming the complete profile of the coastal forest and competitively manufacturing a diverse product mix for global markets.
Our strategic capital program is focused on the installation of proven technology that will deliver top quartile performance and improve our ability to manufacture the products that yield the best margin. In addition to investments in our manufacturing assets, we also allocate capital to strategic, high-return projects involving our information systems, timberlands assets, and forest inventories.
We have recently approved a further $4.2 million capital investment for our Chemainus sawmill to improve the handling of WRC timbers and reduce production bottlenecks. We expect the project to be completed in the third quarter of 2017 and make Chemainus the leading WRC timber mill on the BC coast. With this project, we have announced plans for $101.9 million of our $125.0 million strategic capital program. Through the end of 2016, we have implemented and capitalized $89.1 million under that program.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we continued to advance the Duke Point planer modernization and timberlands standing inventory mapping initiative. The Duke Point planer modernization is ongoing with completion scheduled for 2017. Results of the timberlands LiDAR mapping initiative are being evaluated with the remaining data to be gathered as weather permits, and we continue to progress through our information technology upgrades.
Uncertainty arising from the Softwood Lumber trade dispute has caused us to defer the commencement of additional potentially significant capital projects plans, however a number of high-return, low-cost strategic capital projects are in the late stages of planning or ready for implementation.
Non-Core Assets Update
There have been no disposals of non-core assets during 2016. On February 6, 2015, Western announced the completion of the sale of its former pulp mill site and related assets in Squamish, BC at a purchase price of $21.8 million. The Company used the proceeds of sale to pay down outstanding debt and to further its strategic capital programs.
We continue to evaluate the timing of sale of non-core assets and expect to accelerate the marketing and disposition of certain non-core assets.
Forward Looking Statements and Information
This press release contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Those statements and information appear in a number of places in this document and include statements and information regarding our current intent, belief or expectations primarily with respect to market and general economic conditions, future costs, expenditures, available harvest levels and our future operating performance, objectives and strategies. Such statements and information may be indicated by words such as "estimate", "expect", "anticipate", "plan", "intend", "believe", "should", "may" and similar words and phrases. Readers are cautioned that it would be unreasonable to rely on any such forward-looking statements and information as creating any legal rights, and that the statements and information are not guarantees and may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and that actual results and objectives and strategies may differ or change from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements or information as a result of various factors. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: general economic conditions, competition and selling prices, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, labour disruptions, natural disasters, relations with First Nations groups, changes in laws, regulations or public policy, misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements or information, changes in opportunities and other factors referenced under the "Risks and Uncertainties" section of our MD&A in our 2016 Annual Report dated February 16, 2017. All written and oral forward- looking statements or information attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Except as required by law, Western does not expect to update forward-looking statements or information as conditions change.
Reference is made in this report to adjusted EBITDA which is defined as operating income prior to operating restructuring items and other income, plus amortization of property, plant, equipment, and intangible assets, impairment adjustments, and changes in fair value of biological assets. Adjusted EBITDA margin is EBITDA presented as a proportion of revenue. Western uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as benchmark measurements of our own operating results and as benchmarks relative to our competitors. We consider adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful supplement to operating income as a performance measure primarily because amortization expense, impairment adjustments and changes in the fair value of biological assets are non-cash costs, and vary widely from company to company in a manner that we consider largely independent of the underlying cost efficiency of their operating facilities. Further, the inclusion of operating restructuring items which are unpredictable in nature and timing may make comparisons of our operating results between periods more difficult. We also believe adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and it is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect our net income. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered as alternatives to measure performance under IFRS. Moreover, because all companies do not calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in the same manner, these measures as calculated by Western may differ from similar measures as calculated by other companies. A reconciliation between the Company's net income as reported in accordance with IFRS and adjusted EBITDA is included in the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Also in this report management uses key performance indicators such as net debt, net debt to capitalization and current assets to current liabilities. Net debt is defined as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to capitalization is a ratio defined as net debt divided by capitalization, with capitalization being the sum of net debt and shareholder's equity. Current assets to current liabilities is defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities. These key performance indicators are non-GAAP financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. They are not recognized by IFRS, however, they are meaningful in that they indicate the Company's ability to meet their obligations on an ongoing basis, and indicate whether the Company is more or less leveraged than the prior year.
Western is an integrated Canadian forest products company, and is the largest coastal British Columbia woodland operator and lumber producer. The Company has an annual available harvest of approximately 6.1 million cubic metres of timber, of which approximately 5.9 million cubic metres is from Crown lands. Western has a lumber capacity in excess of 1.1 billion board feet from seven sawmills and one remanufacturing plant. Principal activities conducted by the Company include timber harvesting, reforestation, sawmilling logs into lumber and wood chips, and value-added remanufacturing. Substantially all of Western's operations, employees and corporate facilities are located in the coastal region of British Columbia, with sales worldwide.

Have a toilet that's shaped like this?
For hygienic reasons, toilet seats are non-returnable.
Please note: Colors are representational ONLY and will differ slightly with each monitor. The colors shown here may not match the actual color of your seat. If unsure, please order the color match chips for Eljer Emblem toilet seats.
Elongated EZ-Close Deluxe Plastic Emblem Toilet Seats
If you're tired of slamming seats, this EZ Close seat for the Eljer Emblem will make you breathe a sigh of relief. The special damper system keeps the lid from slamming shut and startling the entire household, or pinching baby fingers. Designed to fit the square nosed Eljer Emblem toilet, this seat will also fit the similar Eljer Triangle.
Q. "I can see that the Eljer Emblem toilet seats with the standard hinges are made in the USA. Are the EZ Close toilet seats made in the USA too?"
A. The EZ Close toilet seats are high quality imported toilet seats designed to fit the Eljer Emblem and Triangle toilets.
Q. "Which material do you feel makes a better seat, plastic or wood?"
A. The (pressed) wood seats that are manufactured are generally well made. Wood seats don't tend to "wiggle" much and should last 5 - 20 years (depends on usage and cleaning methods). If you drop the seat's lid (cover) a lot, the paint will wear off. Plastic seats come in many grades and thicknesses. The lower priced models have the potential of "wiggling" and may move slightly while you are sitting on them. We suggest that "if" you are going to purchase a plastic toilet seat, that you purchase a top quality slow closing seat with the sta-tight hinges for a little extra. The paint won't wear off and a good quality, slow closing plastic toilet seat with sta-tight hinges can't be beat. They're a little more expensive, but well worth the price.
Q. "How accurate are the color examples you show for the seats?"
A. Digital representations of colors will vary slightly from the actual color of the toilet seat (each computer monitor displays colors slightly different).
Q. "My Eljer Emblem toilet is off-white, but I can't quite tell which color is right? Can you help?"
A.Matching colors is virtually impossible without seeing them both together, but we'll do our best to give you a few examples that may help. Biscuit is just slightly darker than pure white. We've heard it compared to an egg shell or raw bread dough. Natural color is darker than the Biscuit and looks more beige.
Q. "How do I clean my new seat, and what products should I avoid?"
A. Most manufacturers (and the manufacturer of the seats we offer) recommend a light solution of mild soap and water. Products like pine oils, essential oils, chlorine, acid, scouring powders, detergents, disinfectants, bleach, or products in aerosol cans should never be used as they can damage the finish and color of the seat. Also, as scouring pads can scratch the seat, they should not be used. It is our recommendation to always follow the manufacturers suggested cleaning methods to maintain the seats.
Q. "How do I get the old toilet seat off?"
A. On most seats, the bolts are mounted from the top with a nut on the underside of the bowl. There may be a cover that snaps back, covering the top of the bolt.
Customer Testimonials
"Just about the easiest search and purchase I have ever made online. Thank you..."a few days later: "Today I installed the three Eljer seats in about 5 minutes each. They were in perfect condition, everything I needed was in the box, and they fit perfectly. If only everything in life went so smoothly. Thanks for the great product and especially the great service."
- Bob Anderson, Wyoming, Michigan 49519
"Great job providing the measurements like you did, I knew I had finally found it. I'm sure others had it, but couldn't verify it without the measurements. I've been looking everywhere for this."
- Neil Morgan, Overland Park, KS 66213-2371
"The seat arrived yesterday and it's PERFECT! Correct size, shape and color. Thanks so much for ending my three month toilet seat search saga! Y'all did a great job with prompt, helpful service. I really appreciate and respect when somebody cares enough to attend to details, keep it simple, and keep it friendly."

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA - The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth women's lacrosse team is supporting a movement among numerous lacrosse teams across the nation to show support for the Seton Hill women's lacrosse team, which recently was the victim of a tragic accident.
The Corsairs and their opponent in Florida tonight, Western New England, will wear maroon and gold ribbons in support of the movement entitled Play 4 Seton Hill. Maroon and gold are the colors of the Griffins.
Last Saturday, the Griffins' team bus was involved in an accident on the way to a game at Millersville, and Head Coach Kristina Quigley and the bus driver were killed.
"Tonight our team will be wearing red and gold in support of the tragic accident sustained by the Seton Hill women's lacrosse ream," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Sarah Booker. "Along with Western New England University, we will be supporting the Seton Hill team and all of those who were close to Coach Quigley. Our thoughts are with our lacrosse family at this time."
The Corsairs and Western New England are schedule to play tonight at 6:00 p.m. at the National Training Center in Clermont, FL.

Whether you're a recent graduate, a parent, or one of the thousands of people who spent money on a graduation gift this year, this blog entry is for you.
The average American spent about $100 on graduation gifts this year. Most of that was in the form of cold, hard cash. That means, all told, most graduates pocket around $1,000.
Figuring out what to do with that money is a great financial "teachable moment" if you will. How recent grads spend (or save) that chunk of money can help set the tone for their future financial personality.
I get that it's tough not to spend ANY of the money. Experts say if a splurge is in order, keep it to 10 percent of the total cash you received. High school grads may need a new computer for college, while college students may need a new interview wardrobe, for example.
Beyond buying items on sale, grads can get even more out of these big purchases by doing some research and using a gift card purchased at a discount from a gift card resale site like coupontrade.com. They can save an additional five to 30 percent, and even sell their unwanted gift cards for cash while they're on the site.
It's always smart to save or invest. High school grads can put the money in a checking account for expenses, such as an apartment security deposit or dorm food plan. College graduates who are lucky enough to have a job lined up would be smart to invest right away in a 401k. If that's not possible, the money can be used to start up a Roth IRA.
Financial gurus recommend young people start with no-load mutual funds, going heavier on stock index funds (both domestic and foreign) and lighter on bonds (about 10 percent). For more on how to divvy things up, here's a solid article: thecollegeinvestor.com
College graduates might also use money to pay down debt (starting with the highest interest rate). Carrying around debt — the average is around $23,000 — can really put a damper on a new career. Perhaps the money can go toward a car down payment.

Easy to learn
Whether you have been skateboarding for years or not been on one before, thanks to Conway Bikeboards inherently stable design, you will ride off with confidence the first time you give it a go!

In today's ever-busier lifestyles, being able to learn the basics of a new hobby and/or local transportation method in about a minute is a definite win!

We know you like to customize your look. Outside of the patent pending Conway Bikeboards frame itself, all skateboard and bicycle parts used in our construction are industry standard size and mounting. This allows for endless upgrades and customization to your ride! Want to rock a bigger board or upgrade your handlebars? No problem, slap on whatever you want, it's going to fit!

Newcastle United look in "big trouble" after their defeat at Stoke City, according to Chronicle chief sports writer Lee Ryder.
The Magpies were dealt another blow in their bid to avoid Premier League relegation this season after they lost 1-0 to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
Potters forward Xherdan Shaqiri netted for the home side with nine minutes left on the clock and it was enough to give his side all three points on a night that Newcastle desperately needed to take something positive back to Tyneside.
Lee was at the game and believes that after the result, and Swansea's come-from-behind win over Arsenal, it'll be between Newcastle, Sunderland Norwich for the final two relegation spots – with Aston Villa looking all but certain for the drop.
The Magpies sit second from bottom in the table, below both the Black Cats and the Canaries on goal difference, while Swansea moved six points clear of the relegation zone after their win over the Gunners.
The results also piled pressure on United head coach Steve McClaren, with many fans after the game calling for him to be sacked.
Newcastle have just 11 games to get themselves out of trouble and with massive games against Bournemouth, Leciester and Sunderland all coming up this month.

QUIET START TO WEEK: Monday is a quiet start to the week, and it sees quite the cold start. Temperatures are frigid in the 20s under mostly clear skies. Winds are light to quiet, and that's how they stay through the day. Expect sunshine to quickly boost temperatures through the day. Clouds start to build during the afternoon as a weak system moves up the coast, but it stays dry. Afternoon temperatures are in the middle to upper 50s. Clouds thicken quickly this evening, and it's much milder of a night. There's a chance for a few showers, especially near daybreak. Overnight low temperatures are in the upper 30s to middle 40s. Tuesday is mainly cloudy, and still brings the chance for a few showers, particularly east and during the morning hours. Temperatures are cooler, but more seasonable. Readings are in the lower to middle 50s. Clouds remain in place as yet another system approaches the region Wednesday. There's a small chance for a shower or two. Temperatures are in the middle 50s.
WARMING UP: Plenty of sunshine ends the week due to a strong area of high pressure. It also helps boost temperatures too. Thursday the warming begins. Expect temperatures in the 50s to near 60 degrees as a warm front lifts north. The mildest of the air is in place by Friday. Temperatures by then reach the lower to middle 60s.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Most of Saturday look dry and mild. We're watching the timing of our next system, and it could bring a late day shower. There's sunshine to start, and it's enough to boos temperatures back into the lower to middle 60s. Sunday sees much cooler temperatures and plenty of clouds. A few showers are possible too. Highs are in the 40s to near 50 degrees.
Have a great Monday!

Discovering a barn find just the way you want it is like uncovering a long-lost treasure. Freddy Hernandez of jalopnik.com shares us his gem of a find with this 1973 Datsun 2407 coupe. Designed in-house by Yoshihiko Matsuo at the Nissan sports car design studio, the 240z was the perfection of a product that had yet to be built to such exacting standards.
This Datsun was built similar to European sports coupes. In fact, much of it was very similar to the Jaguar E-type series. At the time, Japanese manufacturers were struggling to make a name for themselves in markets abroad, and the only way to do so is to make sure that their cars are set apart from the rest. It seems to have worked well with this Datsun. The Datsun 240Z's 151hp comes from its 2.4-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with a four speed manual gearbox with two side draft SU carburettors. It may not be the fastest machine in the world, but a very decent one by our present day standards.
However, what's probably most important with this treasure is that at the starting price of a few thousand bucks, it may just get someone's attention to be his next awesome barn find project.
Hernandez gives his first impressions of this Datsun. "The car's Arizona roots lead it to be one of the most rust-free non-runners that you can get, with only some surface rust and minor metal work to be done. The previous owner had the car painted white with the original green color shown in the engine bay and underneath the carpets. Although it may seem a bit dusty, it looks solid for a car of its age and condition."
Other than the usual fare of changing oils and fluids and cleaning and replacing wear and tear parts, there's nothing much needed to be done to make this car flaunt itself again. But if he will have it his way, Hernandez would like to put in a newer RB25DET engine to "keep up with the Nissan inline-six theme and get this super-light car up to a power level that would embarrass a Ferrari on a track."
