Berlin, Carriage Barn
This early 20 century carriage barn is offered for $1.00, if removed from the property. It has tongue and groove sheathing, a brick and field stone foundation and is interesting because it is built on a bank, which is rare for carriage barns. The barn's roof is in disrepair and the floors have some rot, spurring the owner to try to find a new home for the building.
Potential buyers must demonstrate the ability to remove the barn from the site and reconstruct it on their own lot.

You may have seen that Waitrose recently announced that the FreeFrom category saw a 17% growth year on year in January. Celebrity endorsements from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Miley Cyrus and Victoria Beckham are raising the awareness of this category.
We are delighted to now be sharing a free research report that goes beyond the hype. We interviewed 2,000 consumers about their attitudes to Free From to see what Britons really think about the category. In addition to interviewing consumers, we gave our SUPER TASTERS in our sensory panel gluten free products to test. They were looking to see what the differences are between them and non FreeFrom foods.

SAN FRANCISCO --About 99,000 Americans could get a windfall just in time for the holidays.
The Internal Revenue Service is trying to give $153 million back to 99,123 Americans. The IRS can't find these taxpayers mostly because the mailing addresses were wrong on their tax returns.
The refunds they have coming average out to $1,547 per person and about 2,100 of them live in the Bay Area. .

Our development program incorporates various mindfulness exercises involving, simple stress-relieving postures, meditation, breath work, and other positive tools to help employees manage and mitigate stress. Program length, dates, frequency and content can be customized to serve your align with your company's culture, budget, and specific needs.
We are dedicated to helping individuals reduce stress, enhance wellness and maintain mental alertness, so that they can perform, feel, look and remain well.
What is Yoga?
The systematic method of healing which uses breath control, meditation and specific body postures to balance the mind and body. Yoga improves the body's physical and mental health to clear the mind in preparation for meditation.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the intentional practice of enhancing awareness in the present moment with ourselves and our surroundings; using breath as the anchor. Deep breathing exercises and self-reflection allow us to pause and respond constructively to any given circumstance. Combined with yoga and other mindful movement, mindfulness tools help individuals cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and adopt healthy habits.
Why is it needed?
Work related stress is a serious problem for employers and employees worldwide. It causes headaches, irritability, muscular tension, back problems, excessive tiredness, trouble sleeping and anxiety. When left unmanaged, efficiency in the workplace is dramatically reduced, internal and external relationships suffer, workplace morale drops, human error increases, projects take longer and cost more money.
Research has shown that workplace yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness techniques can lower feelings of stress and improve sleep quality.
Companies are turning to meditation and yoga to boost their bottom line.
A basic program will include, but is not limited to:
- Simple yoga postures combined with meditation, relaxation and breathing exercises
- Bodywork (massage, Thai yoga massage, etc.)
- Teaching the power of applying a self-responsible, mindful attitude in the work place
- Using positive tools that empower staff to function more effectively
- Decreasing staff stress levels and improving well-being with holistic lifestyle practices
These practices teach the body how to perform positively and relax deeply. Over time, this creates a new cellular memory and mindset that manages stress more effectively. Our goal is to help individuals develop a higher quality of well-being and relationships in their professional and personal lives.
By bringing our corporate wellness and professional development program to your company, you not only demonstrate your commitment to your employees, you also help fund yoga and mindfulness outreach programs in schools and underserved communities locally and nationally.

Thank you for your Explanatory Memorandum dated
28 October, and the Supplementary Explanatory Memorandum dated
21 November, which Sub-Committee B considered at its meeting on
2 December.
We note the significant differences between
the Council's and the Parliament's text. We note that the Council's
agreed text serves UK national interests better than does the
European Parliament's, and that the Transport Council has been
notified of the Presidency's intention to adopt a "Common
Position" and to take the Directive as an "A" point
at the Transport Council on 5 December.
We would be grateful if you could notify us
of the outcome of the European Parliament's Second Reading on
29 January 2003. We understand that the Council Members intend
to hold to the Council text so that if the European Parliament's
text remains significantly different after the Second Reading,
the proposal will enter the conciliation process. This being the
case, we are content to lift the Scrutiny reserve on this document.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'User Submitted News' started by Elfish, Dec 24, 2007.
same text translated by google
Here's a better and more comprensible translation:
I'm guessing "essence" is firmware? Reading that shit sounds like some SRPG game manual.
Where can I download this? I don't see it on supercard.cn...
Thanks for the quick reply. There's only the Chinese 2.65 there, is that okay to use even if I don't understand Chinese and I've been using the English so far?
I don't know about the Supercard, but most flashcarts won't let you use the Chinese kernel on the English cart (or vice versa).
Well, it's the patching software, so I wasn't sure... I guess I'll just wait until the english version is put out to be safe. :/
just pick english in the language options
Not sure what that's getting at for certain, but it seems the SuperCard Lite and supercard vibration no longer share the same kernels.
edit:/ was in a bit of a rush earlier, christmas and all. Didn't realize it was the patcher that was updated and not the kernels. Wasn't too clear either, "essence" is usually the translation of whatever chinese word they use for "firmware" - what I was getting at was there was no way to toggle between chinese/english in the kernels, though that should be moot for the patcher update.
They're simply saying that you should use the right firmware for each version.
The language of the kernals must be used for the respective flashcart as well. If you have an English SCL, get an English SCL kernal. I've read many reports of people bricking their SCs because they updated them with the wrong language, let alone the wrong type.


text: Borden begins her spare, lyrical text with the Hamburg childhoods of her protagonists, Hans Augusto Reyersbach and Margarete Waldstein, who grew up to become H.A. and Margaret Rey. From Hamburg to Rio de Janeiro to prewar Paris, the narrative—stunningly embellished with period photographs, sketches, reproductions of Rey's diary and letters to and from editors, and vignettes of their famous characters—takes the two talented Jewish artists to the brink of war. Their joy in each other, their love of animals (including a pet monkey) and their pleasure in the creation of their picture books shine through, painting a beautifully humane portrait of these lions of children's literature. The Paris idyll cut short by the Nazi advance, the text becomes a catalog of the items needed to get the couple out of Paris, which they did on bicycle in a thrilling escape—with the precious manuscript that became Curious George. If the artifact seems all-too-patently created to join the George publishing machine, it is nevertheless a lovely work, Drummond's movement-filled watercolors evoking but never imitating the work of his subjects.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: 10 shades of EXO's Oh Sehun('s hair)
EXO's Sehun is known for his hair changing colors all of the time. At some point over the past 3 years, he has probably had every color hair you could possibly think of! Since it is already April 12th in Seoul, it is officially the time to start celebrating his birthday! Let's take a look at some of Sehun's best and brightest hair colors below!
1. Platinum blonde
Sehun's platinum blonde hair somehow manages to look so natural on him!
2. Brown/Auburn
This brownish-redish color hair was perfect for the darker vibe of the "Overdose" era!
3. Lime green
This green color didn't last very long, but it is just further proof that it is impossible for Sehun to look bad even with crazy hair colors.
4. Cotton candy pink
This adorable pastel pink color makes it look like his hair is cotton candy!
5. Silver/grey
Sehun was totally way ahead of the new "Granny hair" trend. He also happens to look awesome with it!
6. Bleached blonde with black roots
By embracing his black roots while keeping his platinum blonde hair, it created an edgy high fashion look.
7. Magical rainbow
This list would not be complete without Sehun's glorious rainbow hair! Many have tried to pull off rainbow hair like this, but very few could even come close to this level of cool.
8. Light brown
This light brown color looks so natural and it's always nice to see him with his hair down.
9. Pale pastel purple
This pale pastel purple color was mostly just for the MAMA awards back in 2013, but it really looked good!
10. Jet black
Sehun's current hair color (and my personal favorite!) looks flawless! After all the crazy colors he has had over the years, you can always count on black hair to look very classic.
It's clear that Sehun can pull off pretty much any hair color! He has even had so many more hair colors and styles than the ones on this list. Even though there are so many to choose from, can you pick which hair color is your favorite? To see more of Sehun and EXO, you can watch their new music videos for "Call Me Baby" below!

Sandra Lee on a Loggins Life Lesson
What a hard-knocks kid and future celebrity chef heard in a 1991 single
Ms. Lee, 47, is host of TV's "Semi-Homemade Cooking" and is editor in chief of Sandra Lee magazine. She spoke with reporter Marc Myers.
Most people know me as the host of culinary and lifestyle TV shows, but I actually began my career in the late 1980s inventing home and garden products for big-box retailers. In 1991, I was living in the Marina del Rey area of Los Angeles when I bought Kenny Loggins's album "Leap of Faith" and heard his song "Conviction of the Heart"[written by Kenny Loggins...

I'm not an expert on the subject of mothers. My real mother and first stepmother both left my dad at critical ages in my life. When I was 17, my dad came home from a six week hunting trip with a new wife I'd never spoken to. I left home when I was 17.
The events of my childhood helped shape who I am as a mother, so I don't regret having gone through them. But because of them, it's always been challenging to me figuring out which "box" to put women in. I'm aware of my walls. It's almost a proving ground–if women stick around, they prove they are worth me putting trust in. And it's to those women that I write this post today.
God always has a plan-even when we can't see it. And when I think about the women who've had a powerful impact on my life, I'm keenly aware of God's love shown through them. He knew I needed women in my life who'd show me grace, encourage me, teach me about patience, foster the strengths hiding inside, kick me in the butt when needed, and understand that I'd try to push them away. Without them, I'd never have been able to put water under the bridge and reconnect with my mother and dad's wife to allow them to be the wonderful grandmothers they are.
If you have women in your life who have different DNA, but lift you up and walk the road of life with you, please take time to thank them this Mother's Day. I'm thanking God for mine.

Who is Solid Ground Church?
We are a creative group of friends who desire to worship God, impact our community and disciple the nations.

This team, consisting of over 200 men and women, is called New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI) and is led by Tyrone Daniel.
Don't come to Solid Ground Church expecting tightly followed traditions, strict time schedules or predictable routines. Because God is the reason we get together, we never want our own plans to get in the way of what He is doing among us.
Our Meetings
Sunday mornings consist of singing, a few announcements followed by a sermon and fellowship around coffee and snacks. We meet at The Property, Felixton on Sundays at 8:30am, which is also where our Offices are based.
The People
The church isn't a building - it's people. And we think you'll find Solid Ground Church a pretty friendly bunch. Every Church needs leaders and our Leadership Team works together to shape the vision and direction of the church.

SAN FRANCISCO – Apple has reported that it raked in billions of dollars as iPhone sales soared to new highs, but that costs of making its coveted devices was squeezing profit.
Apple said on Monday that it made a profit of US$7.5 billion as iPhone sales sizzled in its recently-ended fourth fiscal quarter.
The US tech giant closed out its fiscal year with a net annual profit of $37 billion, an impressive figure but the first annual decline in earnings in 11 years.
"We're pleased to report a strong finish to an amazing year with record fourth quarter revenue, including sales of almost 34 million iPhones," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said in a release.
The quarterly profit was down 8.6 per cent from a year earlier, but ahead of most analyst forecasts. It came on revenues of some $37.5 billion in the quarter ending September 28, up four per cent year-on-year.
California-based Apple reported selling 33.8 million iPhones, setting a new record for sales for a September quarter.
Apple said that iPad sales inched up to 14.1 million in a slight rise from the 14 million sold during the same quarter last year.
The current quarter was expected to be a more telling one for iPads, since Apple last week beefed up the line with a slim iPad Air model and an improved iPad Mini ahead of the prime holiday shopping season.
The new iPads will be sold alongside existing versions starting November 1 in more than 40 markets around the world. For the first time, China will be among the countries getting the latest iPad models on launch day.
"I think it's going to be an iPad Christmas," Cook said during an earnings conference call.
Apple last week also showed off upgrades to its notebooks and desktop computers along with free software to sweeten the deal.
Apple reported that it sold 4.6 million Macs, compared to 4.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
"We're excited to go into the holidays with our new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, iOS 7, the new iPad mini with Retina Display and the incredibly thin and light iPad Air, new MacBook Pros, the radical new Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks and the next generation iWork and iLife apps for OS X and iOS," Cook said.
Apple's board of directors also declared a cash dividend of $3.05 per share of common stock.
"We generated $9.9 billion in cash flow from operations and returned an additional $7.8 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the September quarter, bringing cumulative payments under our capital return program to $36 billion," said Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer.
Apple shares were about a dollar below the market close of $529.88 in after-market trading that followed release of the earnings figures.
Apple said its gross profit margin was 37 per cent compared to 40 per cent in the year-ago quarter.
Narrowing of Apple's profit margin was due in part to "a richer mix of iPads with higher cost structure" and some new Mac computer models that also cost more to make, Oppenheimer explained during the earnings call.
And it said the outlook for the current quarter was similar, with a margin expected between 36.5 per cent and 37.5 per cent.
"Where (Steve) Jobs was focused like a laser on profit, Cook is focused like a laser on revenue," independent Silicon Valley analyst Rob Enderle said in a reference to Apple's late, lengendary co-founder.
"The problem is that Apple stock trades on the Jobs model and the profit margin is slowly collapsing."
Cook told analysts that, contrary to speculation by analysts and in news stories, Apple's recently released iPhone 5C was not intended as a low-priced model aimed at developing countries. "If you look at the iPhone line, we are selling the iPhone 4S as our entry offer; the 5C as a mid-tier offer, and then the 5S," Cook explained.
In a sign of the strategy's merit, iPhone sales in China were reported to be up about 25 per cent last quarter.
"We have a pretty good quarter in China," Cook said. "We obvsiously want to do better."
Apple is continuing to invest in extending its reach to more parts of the Greater China region, according to the chief executive.
"Apple is still outperforming most of the companies on the market," Endlerle said.
"It is not the difference between failure and success; it is the difference between being a superstar and a good company." AFP

Getting that spring feeling
But once you remove the broken branches and the dog mess (if applicable), the other issues can be easily mended.
Traces of snow mould and minor salt damage can be repaired with fertilizer, salt stopper and seed.
Same goes for those annoying snake-like tracks caused by voles.
Lime will help dry out moss and help correct any PH issues.
With grubs on the increase again last year, there may be digging activity from skunks/ raccoons, or perhaps you have a mole problem. Depending on the severity you may need fox, or coyote urine pellets to deter further damage. Unfortunately there is no treatment for over-wintering grubs at this time of the year and you simply have to deal with it.
Anyone who touts nematodes as an answer can see you and your wallet coming from a mile away. The truth is, the grubs are too big to control at this stage and putting nematodes down in the spring is a waste of money.
Opening up the soil for natural predators, like birds, is an option with aeration, but keep in mind not to do it too early, (mid April should be fine), or you could cause more damage to your lawn than benifit.
Also remember there are thousands of dormant weed-seeds in your lawn waiting for the right conditions and aerating in the spring can cause the turf to be needlessly weedy.
So do the minor things that are needed and soon you'll find a spring in your step as the issues, like that last snow fall, melt away and green returns to your lawn.

"It was too much of a good thing," said a top buying executive for one East Coast convenience store chain. He said that Hershey, heady with success over driving growth for a year or two with limited editions, went too far, doubling its efforts last year and going even further this year, when it introduced a whopping 10 limited editions since January. "The consumer is getting burnt out on the approach," he said, and "from a merchandising standpoint, we have clearly reached the point of diminishing returns."
Masterfoods President Bob Gamgort is almost certainly doing the "I told you so" dance in his office. He declined to comment for this story, but as far back as October (AA, Oct. 31) Mr. Gamgort was defending his company's decision to focus on what he called true new-product innovation vs. the limited-edition varieties others in the marketplace were cranking out. He argued that those items were gimmicks that provided only "new offerings for the same people on the same occasions" and sucked up valuable shelf space at the expense of the more profitable mainstays (central among them Masterfoods' own top Snickers brand).
question of time?
Retailers, however, continued to stock up and Hershey snapped up share by the day. Not any longer.
Hershey's now pledging the kind of innovation that provides longer-term results. Lehman Bros.' analyst Andrew Lazar said he believes the limited-edition strategy was in fact more of a place holder for the kind of platform innovation Hershey is now promising, coming as it did before Mr. Lenny had had time to put bigger ideas in the pipeline. But the place-holder strategy clearly needed to be better policed by Hershey as to what was moving off the shelf and what was maximizing retailers' profitability, he said. The pledge to focus on a core set of 12 products, however, proves that Hershey is "good at course correcting," Mr. Lazar said.
The real question, though, is whether Hershey can successfully balance its short-term growth-spiking ideas with "fewer, bigger, better" new product ideas that will truly provide long-term gains. That's a hard-to-follow path being sought by not just Masterfoods but Kraft Foods, General Mills and almost any food company seeking hard-won growth.
"It's true you can't get to 8% or 10% growth with a line extension, but while every CEO is talking about creating new consumer needs and new platforms, they just can't do it," said Bryan Mattimore, principal of Norwalk, Conn.-based consultancy Growth Engine. "Everybody wants to invent a category because the returns are great when you do, but the reality is company execs tend to be less committed to doing a longer-term stream of innovation."
Instead, most are stuck in the cycle of developing quick hits that help brand teams meet internal pressure from the boss and external pressure from Wall Street, said Gary Fraser, also a principal at Growth Engine.
Allen Adamson, managing director of Landor, New York, agreed that "innovation is really hard for big companies, though every one of our clients is certainly interested in how we can help them become more innovative and break the cycle of similarity in the marketplace." You can always come up with different, Mr. Adamson said, "but if it ends up in the 'who cares' column, it gets dumped off the shelf."
Hershey is adamant that it can drive growth through innovative platforms in new areas, among them gum and mints, cookies and snack nuts. A Hershey spokeswoman shared data that showed the company has increased share in the mints category by seven points to 35% over the past year through new products, but examples of future efforts included mainly extensions with Ice Breakers Tropical sours and two new varieties of its new Ice Breakers Ice Cube gum.
Likewise, in cookies (where Masterfoods failed with its Cookies &), Hershey will extend its new Hershey's cookie lineup with mini Kisses and, later in the year, will enter the $1 billion sandwich cookie segment with products based on its Hershey's chocolate and Reese's peanut butter equities.
Masterfoods, meanwhile, is boasting about its success with new platforms including its supposed cholesterol-lowering CocoaVia and its extension of Snickers into the energy-bar category with Snickers Marathon.
But what exactly is a new platform? Defining it can be difficult. Hershey talks about its filled Kisses as a new platform and Lehman's Mr. Lazar agrees (as the line helped grow the Kisses brand). But others are more particular about what new platforms truly are.
"Adding nuts to a chocolate bar does not give you a new platform," said Steve Gundrum, president-CEO of Foster City, Calif.-based product-development firm Mattson, "but moving from a chocolate bar to chocolate milk does since it moves you into the beverage business."
Those platforms, though, generally require completely new manufacturing systems and new systems of distribution, "so there has to be real strategic purpose for the company to want to extend its brand there," Mr. Gundrum said.
Understandably, retailers are growing more and more cynical about innovation-even the new-platform kind-as more and more marketers beat the drum about it. The East Coast convenience store buyer noted that "to the extent Hershey is getting into other categories and couching it as innovation, we as retailers are being forced to carry an inordinate number of items of theirs at the expense of smaller manufacturers. That strategy is fine if they do well, but 'if' is the biggest two-letter word."

Last week i got a chance to see the original version of vaanam named Vedam. After watching that movie, i had a slight confusion in my mind like, will this movie workout with Tamil audience? Are Tamil audience matured enough to accept a movie with multiple heros? Will they accept the climax, if hero dies when fighting against evil? The answer for all the above questions will decide the vaanam's box office result:-)
Story Analysis:
There are 5 stories in this movie, which joins together in the climax.
Cable Raja(Simbhu) is a local cable TV operator. His only aim is to love a rich gal and marry her so that he too will become rich. As usual he finds a rich gal and fall in love with her and pretend as a rich business tycoon in front of her. One fine day, she asks Raja to buy couple of pass for new year party celebration. The rate of the pass will be around 40,000 Rupees. Being poor he can't afford that much of money. Raja along with santhanam plan to steal gold ornaments from others and make money out of it. But they finally end up landing in police station and followed by hospital.
Bharath is a pop singer. His only aim is to perform in-front of huge audience during new year eve. As the result he and other friends take the journey to chennai by car. Due to small accident, they end up landing in hospital in order to help a pregnant lady.
Saroja(Anuskha) is a commercial sex worker. She works in Andhra-Pradesh. In order to make more money, she and her friend come to chennai in order to start a new company. But they end up landing in police station. Later they both get trapped by another gang. when trying to escape from them, saroja's friend gets hurt by the rowdies. As the result they both rush to hospital.
Rahim(Prakash Raj) and Zara(Sonia Agarwal) who lose their twin babies during a fight between Hindu and Muslim in Coimbatore. Rahim's brother witness the fight and he goes to chennai. Rahim along with Zara goes to chennai to find out his brother. But fate make Rahim to get into police custody and finally end up landing in hospital.
Lakshmi(Saranya) and her father in law involve themselves in weaving and they take a loan from local financier(Kadhal Thandapani). But they fail to payback the money in stipulated time. So the local financier take lakshmi's son with him and use his as a child labor. In order to pay back the money and get back his son, Lakshmi and her father in law decides to go to Chennai and donate the kidney and make money out of it. So they both finally end up landing in hospital.
Almost all the character's assemble in hospital. With some sudden twist in the story, a tragedy happens. Most of the people lose their lives. The remaining story is about how, Rahim, Raja, Bharath etc., save the life of public people who are staying in hospital, and what happens to all of them.
Cast & Crew Analysis:
Yet again, a powerful performance by Simbhu. Be it comedy or emotional scene, he acted in a very matured way and won lot of applause from the audience. Bharath made a strong come back with a decent acting. Anuskha's acting was so natural and brilliant, hats off to her for boldly acting in roles like this.
I don't need to say anything about Prakash Raj, as usual he almost lived as Rahim bai. Regarding Sonia Agarwal, Jasmine and Vega, though they appear for few scenes, they did their part very well. VTV Ganesh and Santhanam took special care of the comedy. Few one line comedies were too good.
Again Yuvan-Simbhu combo worked out very well. Even di unna pethan and no money no honey song rocked the theatre. Background score was good. Nirav Shah, as usual did a gr8 job behind the camera by showing some kind of differentiation in all the 5 stories. Editor Antony did a gr8 work with his scissors. His editing made the movie very crispy and clear especially in the 2nd half.
Finally the director of Vaanam Mr krish should be appreciated for making a movie which has 5 different stories travelling in different places and bringing them together in the climax using his screen-play.well done krish!..
General Analysis:
First half was very slow. The continuity was missing throughout the first half. Second half was power packed, and last 20 mins inside the hospital was terrific. Though No Money No Honey song was not there in original version, that song was placed in Tamil version to add some more flavor to the movie. Even di unna pethan looked like another loose pennea:-) In order to give more importance to Simbhu, they killed Simbhu and retained Bharath in the climax fight:-) which looked very artificial 🙂
Don't expect vaanam to be another masala movie or mass entertainer. Without any expectations, do visit the theatre and get the feel of the movie and enjoy it. Over all, it's a decent movie which can be seen definitely once.
My Verdict: Above Average
Expected Days Of Successful Run: 60 Days

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) - March 8, 2014 --A southern New Jersey man faces charges stemming from another man's drug-related death last year.
Ocean County prosecutors say 22-year-old Nicholas Ippolito of Point Pleasant is charged with first-degree drug-induced death and second-degree manslaughter. He was notified of the charges on Friday at the Ocean County Jail, where he has been held since last month on a parole violation charge
Prosecutors say Ippolito was linked to the Dec. 19 death of Joseph Piezzo, a 25-year-old Brick man who died last December from a reaction to prescription drugs and heroin.
Ippolito's bail on the new charges was set at $200,000 cash, and it was not known Saturday if he has retained an attorney.

Billion Dollar Maybe
I am sitting by the front windows at a table adorned with a small vase of fresh-cut daisies and miniature yellow roses, clacking away at my laptop while sipping from a large mocha espresso. It is mid-morning, well after the breakfast rush and still more than an hour away from the onset of the lunch crowd, yet there has been no scarcity of customers. An ebullient woman dressed as a skeleton and a cocky guy in the garb of a Mardi Gras king are competing for the approval of the audience as Let's Make A Deal unfolds on a flat-screen display. No one pays any attention to the spectacle, though, its raucous proceedings muffled by the general din of conversation and an industrious, cheery staff.
The dining area is a collage of browns, beiges and oranges, offset with bold murals of modern art featuring swaths of black and white, red and yellow, and a high-contrast, monochromatic portrait of a young woman of ambiguous expression staring upward as her negatively silhouetted hand cradles a photorealistic hamburger. Behind the counter is an even more aggressive design scheme: yard-long, rectangular backsplash panels in adjoining fields of midnight black and fire engine red. A light wood grain laminate dominates not only the floor but the walls as well. Unobtrusive lighting recessed within acoustical ceiling tile illuminates a variety of seating options, from a long, tall, wooden table flanked by a dual row of upholstered bar stools to a series of white fiberglass tables adjacent to a long, cushioned bench that runs along the front of the room. It's a quirky mix of variety and uniformity, as though an interior decorator were given complete artistic freedom within severely defined constraints. Read More

March 6 (Reuters) - The race to win the Republican Party's presidential nomination to challenge President Barack Obama turns to states like North Dakota on "Super Tuesday" when 10 states hold primaries and caucuses.
Here are some facts about North Dakota's Republican caucuses.
* The caucuses are held in dozens of locations statewide and are open to anyone who can prove North Dakota residency. Voters must be affiliated with the Republican Party or intend to vote for the party in the general election, but the state Republican Party has no real way of binding voters to that promise.
* In 2008, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the North Dakota caucuses with about 36 percent of the vote. Romney, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Texas Representative Ron Paul have all campaigned in the state in recent days.
* North Dakota sends 28 delegates to the Republican National Convention in August. Delegates will be doled out proportionally, according to how much support candidates get.
* North Dakota emerged mostly unscathed from the recent U.S. recession. It has one of the country's lowest rates of foreclosures and credit card defaults and the unemployment rate was only 3.3 percent in December of 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state's economy is powered by the agricultural and energy industries, and has been rated one of the top states for start-ups.
* North Dakota has been a safe state for the Republican Party, which has won the state's vote in each of the last 10 presidential elections.

Uncontrollable crying or laughing episodes from the pseudobulbar affect, or PBA, are sometimes prevented by distraction, slow breathing, relaxation or changing body position, according to the National Stroke Association. However, the actual condition results from strokes or other neurological damage, and it is not preventable except by avoiding neurological damage or illness. Doctors treat the condition with antidepressants and other drugs, as Healthline indicates.Continue Reading
PBA occurs when patients experience uncontrollable and often inappropriate emotional displays following a stroke or a neurological disease, according to the National Stroke Association. Treating the condition starts by recognizing that there is a problem. Since many patients are emotional after experiencing a stroke, keeping track of episodes is the first step to minimizing them.
ALS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors and dementia also cause PBA in some patients, according to the American Stroke Association. Approved in 2011 specifically for the treatment of PBA, the drug dextromethorphan quinidine provides some relief from the condition faster and with fewer side effects than traditional antidepressants. However, patients with some varieties of heart arrhythmia or heart failure are unable to take dextromethorphan quinidine. Some common side effects of the medication include gastrointestinal distress, swelling in the hands or feet, dizziness and flu-like symptoms.Learn more about Mental Health

When the DSi first hit Japan it was clearly popular and managed to sell 170,799 of the initial 200,000 allocation in just two days. Among the updates to the handheld were the removal of the GBA cart slot and the addition of an SD card slot. Nintendo also rendered all previous flash carts for homebrew development or ROM playing redundant.{ad}
Since the release different teams have been working to get around the barriers Nintendo added to the DSi to stop flash cart solutions working. The Acekard Team had some success, but in a previous video they posted showing a card working on a DSi they also stated:
This is a lab work, it works ONLY in LAB. Even though we can go this far, it is almost impossible to make a commercial product. There is a major problem that can't be resolved, at least for now.
That problem now seems to have been resolved as the video above demonstrates a flash cart working without modification to the DSi. The new cart is called the Acekard 2i and is expected to start appearing for sale soon. It will also work with older models of the Nintendo DS

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has pulled off a major coup, wresting Missouri state champion wrestler Jared Johnson away from national powers Oklahoma and Missouri.
Jared Johnson, a 195-pounder that is projected to wrestle 197 in college, chose the Mocs over the Big 12 champion Tigers and Sooners, who are ranked 10th and 12th respectively in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association poll.
"The coaches are the biggest thing," said Johnson, who visited Missouri, Oklahoma, Central Missouri and Chattanooga and then canceled a visit to Brown. "I felt I had to be happy where I was going to spend the next five years. Coach [Heath] Eslinger and Coach [Rocco] Mansueto were pushing to get me. At Missouri or Oklahoma they were just going to place me. They didn't seem to care whether I was happy. [UTC] definitely pushed, and that put them over the top for me."
A multi-sport athlete at Jefferson City High School, Johnson just completed an unbeaten season on the way to his third Missouri state Class 4A finals and his first state championship. He tied the school record for season wins with 50 and got 44 of those by pin. Four wins came by pin and two by injury default. Johnson also tied the school record for career wins with 182 with 120 of those coming by pin.
"I've coached a lot of kids -- state champions, All-Americans and one Olympian -- and I have never had a kid do what he did this season," Jefferson City coach Phil Cagle said. "He was the district and state 4A wrestler of the year."
Cagle said UTC's program sold itself and that he was not surprised that Jordan picked the Mocs.
"We went down there to camp and were impressed with Coach Eslinger and his staff," the coach said. "It is probably the best camp I've been to in 35 years of coaching. One reason we went was because we heard what kind of job they did.
"I think Jared's a great fit for them. When it got right down to it, Jared said he thought these were the guys that would help him reach his goals in college."
UTC's staff has promoted the total athlete concept, encouraging athletes to pursue academics as strongly as their wrestling while demanding proper social behavior and Johnson saw it during his official visit in February.
"Actually I want that. I have pretty strong values and for other people to value them too, well, you're going to be surrounded by people you're going to like," he said. "I loved the city, and while it isn't Norman (Okla.), they have good facilities. I loved the campus. I liked what I saw. I certainly don't mind the thoughts of spending my next five years there."
A quality student (4.0-plus), Johnson was also an outstanding linebacker in Jefferson City's football team. The all-state player led his team in tackles in three consecutive seasons.
He will be able to sign scholarship papers in April.

Chapters 7 and 8 Summary
In Chapter 7, the cops take Marcus to their car. The officers tell him they are watching him because his BART pass shows he's been riding to strange places at strange hours. Marcus is angered because his subway pass has been used to help the government spy on him. The police tell him they use the system to catch drug dealers and terrorists.

Traveling 13,334 miles from their hometown of Warrandyte, Australia, the Venom met the Mavericks Wednesday night in the second game of their U.S. West Coast road trip. Barrett Carlow led the Mavs to an impressive 67-40 win, putting up 23 points to help fill the void left by Spencer Linton and Taylor England (both were out, but are expected to play on Friday). Michael De Lacy was the top scorer for the Venom squad with 10 points.
The Mavs played an amazing first quarter. The team went up 11-2 after a 9-1 run that was capped by a Torin Dooley three, and they never looked back. Before the game was put out of reach, De Lacy got a tough offensive rebound in traffic then put the ball back for the hard two. But on the next Venom possession, Carlow stole a pass and then scored on a breakaway to make it 13-5 Mavs. He then went on to score six points in a row to give the Mavs a 17-5 lead.
The Venom looked shaken in the first, missing nearly every shot (thanks to good man-to-man pressure) and had a few turnovers that didn't help either. After the first, the Mavericks led 21-5.
The boys from Australia came out swinging in the second, as they got within 1o after Justin Ronan-Black scored back-to-back threes. The Venom looked like they had a shot to come back as the Mavs started slowing down the pace. However, Meadowdale extended that lead to 17 after Garrett Walsh saved the ball from going out of bounds, and the ball wound up in Grantland Over's hands, and he swished a three to make it 28-11. Dooley and Matt Hirsch, the two offensive quarterbacks of the Mavericks, were taken out for the second, and the play of the young Mavericks showed a lot of promise for the future. At the half, the Mavs were up 33-13.
The third quarter was incredibly fast-paced, as the Venom started out with an aggressive style to try to stage a comeback. However, that type of offense leaves a lot of holes in the defense, and the Mavs exposed them. Dooley and Hirsch came back into the game, but the Venom got a 7-0 run early on to close the gap to 36-20. Their full court press was effective for the first part of the quarter, but then the Mavs figured it out. Dooley had great back-to-back steals on Venom passes for easy layups to make it 44-20. Charlie White followed up with a pass right to Carlow for an easy lay-in to give Meadowdale a 49-24 lead. By the end of the third quarter, the score was 56-28.
The fourth was the only quarter where the Mavs were outscored (and even then it was by just one point). Kenley Ackerman made back-to-back threes with 4:30 to bring the score to 62-33, and the Mavs finished strong with a 67-40 win.
Meadowdale's next game is at home on Friday against Everett, starting at 7:15 p.m.
Meadowdale scoreboard: Kenley Ackerman 8; Charlie White 6; Garrett Walsh 3; Barrett Carlow 23; Tyler Ackerman 2; Grantland Over 3; Matt Hirsch 8; Brian Feldhaus 3; Torin Dooley 9

Hi, I've just been struggling to install the CVS version of the validator and have finally found the problem. I got the validator all setup but it didn't seem to be parsing the pages properly. I started looking through the 'check' script and found the following: 557 # Set final command to use. 558 #my @cmd = ($CFG->{SGML_Parser}, '-c', $catalog, '-E0', @xmlflags); 559 my @cmd = ('/usr/bin/onsgmls', '-c', '/usr/local/validator/htdocs/sgml-lib/xml.soc', '-E0', @xmlflags); The location of the onsgml is hardcoded in the source! There's even a line above it with the right syntax commented out. When the comments are swapped to form: 557 # Set final command to use. 558 my @cmd = ($CFG->{SGML_Parser}, '-c', $catalog, '-E0', @xmlflags); 559 #my @cmd = ('/usr/bin/onsgmls', '-c', '/usr/local/validator/htdocs/sgml-lib/xml.soc', '-E0', @xmlflags); It all works fine. Some other comments: I've setup script alias's so /cgi-bin goes to httpd/cgi-bin but the links (including stylesheet links) in the templates are relative and consequently break meaning I have to manually edit the templates. Also the CVS repository seems to be missing the html-3.2.dtd file? Hopefully, this is the correct mailing list for installation problems :).

Moist banana bread can melt in your mouth and this recipe proves it. This is my mother's recipe with a few tweaks here and there to make it mine. My daughter told me years ago that it is perfect, so I know that I've hit the nail on the head.
The batter is thick and it smells good.
I love thick batter.
Licking the batter from the sides of the bowl is so yummy and fun.
Really! Oh, and I love to lick the mixing paddle. I get every little bit of the batter, but I have to hide from my daughter because she starts preaching to me about the raw eggs.
"You're going to die all because of banana bread batter, Mo-om! Put it in the sink and stop it!"
She gets so worked up over a little batter.
That's why I bake the banana bread when she is on a date or at work.
I call it "strategic cooking."
Oh! Don't lick the raw batter because if you get sick eating raw eggs, my daughter will blame it all on me and I can't have the guilt of making thousands of people sick.
Moist Banana Bread
Start by adding the softened butter to the mixing bowl.
Don't waste the butter wrapper.
Using the wax paper wrap of the butter,
coat the bread pan well.
You probably won't even need more butter
than the amount that was left behind on the paper.
When you are finished covering all the surfaces,
set it aside while you make the batter.
Add the sugar to the butter and…
Whip it good!
When it has lightened in color,
add the eggs one at a time.
Mixing well between each addition.
Add the vanilla to the batter and mix.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour and
baking soda and
salt together.
Isn't it pretty?
I love flour.
Add the flour mixture in thirds to the wet ingredients,
mixing between each addition.
Honestly, I really want to eat the batter at this point.
I'm a die hard batter licker.
After you have smooshed the bananas
to a liquidy state…
"Smooshed" and "liquidy" are words LOL
Measure out the appropriate amount of banana
and mix it into the batter.
Time to add the sour cream
so that this bread will be super moist.
Don't forget to add the nuts!
I still want to lick the batter.
Since you have mixed all the other ingredients well,
it will only take a minute to mix in the
sour cream and nuts.
Remember that buttered pan?
Well, add a little flour and swish it all around
to completely cover the pan.
Now pour the batter in the pan.
Enjoy licking the batter while the bread bakes.
Did I say "lick the batter" again?
When it is completely done,
it will be a nice golden brown all over.
I usually check for doneness by taking a very skinny,
sharp knife and sticking it all the way through the bread.
If it comes out clean, it is done.
I love the split in the top.
It looks elegant and seems to say,
"Look what lies beneath the golden brown outside layer."
Obviously, I can't wait for it to cool.
If you have that much self-control,
more power to you.
So I carefully cut a slice,
enjoying the hot aroma of bananas
that have been baked to perfection.
So I add a little butter to the bread
and as it melts,
I take a picture for you
while trying to keep my hands steady.
I can't wait any longer, so I take a bite.
I gotta go.
There is a whole loaf of
Moist Banana Bread
that is calling my name!

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
Last November I had an abortion 20 weeks into my pregnancy, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Not because it scarred me (it didn't), and not because I'm haunted by it (I'm not), but because of the lack of regard afforded me by the clinic that performed the procedure.
Let me back up. When I found out I was pregnant last summer, I was ecstatic. My husband and I had been trying to have a baby for over a year, and I had already miscarried once at eight weeks. With this pregnancy, every early indication was positive. Then at 20 weeks came the biggie: the "anatomy scan," where they check in depth to make sure all the parts are developing properly. We'd made it past the riskiest stage of pregnancy, and we were cautiously optimistic.
During the scan, the room was eerily quiet, and the ultrasound image was blurry. I had a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. My husband squeezed my hand.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"I'm having a hard time seeing the baby. The amniotic fluid is extremely low. Your doctor will explain everything," the technician replied. It turned out that our baby did not have kidneys or a bladder, a condition called Potter Syndrome. It's not curable, and it's fatal.
We went to a specialist who confirmed the diagnosis. My OBGYN laid out the options for us: 1) carry to term and deliver, knowing the baby would die, or 2) induce labor and deliver right away, again knowing the baby wouldn't survive. My OBGYN didn't even bring up option #3, since you can't get an abortion where I live, in Nashville, TN, after 16 weeks.
I asked her about the possibility of getting an abortion. She was very supportive, but she informed me that I would have to travel at least 180 miles. Also, abortion at 20 weeks is a two-day procedure, so I would have to stay overnight. With the travel expenses and unpaid time off work, many women wouldn't have been able to afford this option. In fact, all three of my options were expensive.
I was shattered. I wanted this baby so badly. Everything was a blur, and I couldn't focus on the possibilities. Time was ticking. I had to make a decision. I couldn't bear to continue a doomed pregnancy, and I was not ready to go through childbirth five months early. Abortion seemed like the way to go: the quickest option, and the least painful emotionally and physically.
I started calling clinics with the intention of going wherever could take me the soonest. This was a Monday, but I couldn't get an appointment with any clinic until Friday. I began to second guess my decision, wondering if it might be quicker to deliver at the hospital. I talked it over with my OBGYN, and for her to induce me at 20 weeks would require her to speak in front of the hospital's ethics board, which would also take a few days. So much red tape.
I decided to stick with the abortion decision, and made an appointment at the closest clinic, in Louisville, KY. The abortion would cost $1,500 up front. My mother, husband, and I drove to Louisville on Thursday night. On Friday morning we went to the clinic and were immediately surrounded by protesters.
Some had signs (Abortion = Murder), some had pictures of bloody fetuses, and one guy was actually standing on a soapbox and preaching. We walked with the clinic's volunteer escorts. I had been warned over the phone about the protesters and thought I was prepared, but when a woman looked me directly in the eye and earnestly said, "Please don't kill your baby," I burst into tears. I later found out that the ACLU has identified this clinic as one of the worst in the country in terms of protesters.
After waiting for over four hours, I finally saw the doctor. He inserted laminaria into my cervix to begin dilation. Laminaria are rods made of seaweed that expand as they absorb moisture. This process causes severe cramping, which I had read about online, but based on my reading I was also expecting pain medication. No such luck.
When I asked the doctor about it, he looked at me like I was crazy and basically told me to suck it up. We went back to the hotel and I called my own doctor, who called in a prescription. I spent the rest of the day lying around the hotel room in a medicated fog.
If Friday was awful, then Saturday was a nightmare. First, more waiting. Then I was taken downstairs to the surgery area. I was supposed to strip and put on a hospital gown, but I'm overweight, and the hospital gown came in one size that did not fit all. It wouldn't even meet in the front, so I was completely exposed. I burst into tears in the dressing room, and a nurse heard me and gave me a second gown to wear backward.
After that, I was wheeled into the surgery room on a stretcher. They transferred me to the surgery table, which had metal cuffs to hold your thighs up and apart for the surgery. I have large thighs, and the cuffs were a bit of a squeeze. Once I got settled, the nurse stuck in the IV, and I was down for the count.
I awoke to the sound of women giggling. Two of the nurses were talking, and I heard a snippet:
"...and then I heard her crying, and I asked what the matter was, and that gown did not come close to fitting her! Did you see how her legs almost didn't fit in those cuffs?"
Those bitches were fat-shaming me! I was stunned. I needed kindness, not nurses analyzing my BMI.
One of them saw that I was awake and came over to ask me how I was doing. I wondered whether she noticed that I heard them talking about me. I told her that I was in quite a bit of pain and asked if I would be given anything. She frowned.
"Honey, are you a drug addict?" she asked.
I was taken into the "recovery room," a small room with hospital armchairs lined up around the walls. I was given 10 minutes to sit, drink a cup of juice, and eat a cookie. Then I was told to use the restroom and change back into my clothes. I was still groggy and unsteady, but as long as I could walk to the restroom on my own, I was deemed ready to leave.
I stumbled out to the waiting room to meet up with my wonderful, patient husband and mother. We piled in the car, I popped a pain pill, and I slept the whole way back to Nashville.
I've had nearly a year to think about my experience. I've reflected on my lack of access to a nearby abortion, the economic boundaries that would have blocked me had my financial situation been different, the protesters, the interminable waiting in the clinic, the contrast between the support I received from my own doctor and the slight hostility of the clinic staff, the careless gossiping about patients, and the casual assumption that asking for pain meds at an abortion clinic means you're an addict.
Despite all of this, the clinic was safe and clean, and I made the best choice for me among crappy choices. I would do it again. But I'm left with the feeling that it didn't have to be this way.
Was my experience symptomatic of assembly line healthcare in America? Is abortion so tainted that people think women seeking abortions don't deserve better treatment? Is there a lack of incentive for clinics to treat women better, seeing that a) they often have a monopoly on the service for hundreds of miles, and b) they probably won't see most of the women they serve ever again? Is it hard to be nice when you work in a stressful and potentially dangerous environment? Or was my experience just atypically bad, reflective of nothing beyond that?
I can understand the long wait times, I am aware that the staff probably does encounter women with drug problems, and I know the clinic has no control over the protesters. But all I really needed to make my experience better was a little kindness and warmth.
Was I expecting too much, some special treatment because I wanted my baby, because I felt like my situation was particularly emotionally fraught? Maybe I expected the clinic to feel sorry for me, and they treated me like any other woman having a "regular" abortion. Except no abortion is a "regular" abortion, and no woman having an abortion should be treated with suspicion and disrespect. Every woman having an abortion for any reason deserves a little kindness and warmth. It could make a world of difference.

...to my Treehouse, where I do a bit of sharing goodies with my readers, and a lot of showing off of my CT tags. It's my little nest in the busy world of psp.
Squirrely has been my nickname since I was a child, both because it rhymes with my real name, and because I'm forgetful and just plain nuts at times. I've been tagging for 2+ decades off and on, and now that I'm retired/disabled I'm pretty much on most of the time now.
I love to share what I make with you, and I LOVE it when you respond with love back for the shares. So have a look around, take what you like and enjoy yourself. Just watch for splinters.

Holiday Cheer Desktops & ShowOffs
10:33 AM | Posted by Squirrely Shirley Smith | Edit Post
This is my favorite time of year to be a tagger! It's also my favorite time of year period so I've got lots of new tags to show you AND a new Desktop set for you to snag as well. I haven't made one of those in awhile and the kit I used beckoned to be used as such.
But first look at my latest tags CT'ing for Dee of Dees'Sign Depot. Click on them to see them larger.
If you spend just $5 in her store, you can get this gorgeous kit for FREE! That is a steal, believe me "Hush" is simply Lush!!
You can also purchase these two bundled together along with an additional Frame Cluster Pack.
This was such a blast to play with, and I think this kit has a little bit edginess to it along with it's sweetly cute elements, so I made one holiday-sexy and one cutie pie tag to show off both spectrums. There are dozens of tags to be made with this one kit because of it's versatility.
This is a stunning kit from last year that's still trendy today thanks to Dee's eye for amazing colors and attention to details. It's very much a Winter kit that can be used for the Holidays rather than the other way around, so you can use it all Winter long.
and lastly but certainly not least,
I LOVE when Dee collabs with another amazing Designer as she did with Foxys Designs this time around to create this bright and cheerful Holiday collaborative kit. Beautiful and traditional Holiday elements and rich, RICH papers await you!!
Oh I got in the greatest Holiday spirit last night working with this kit, I just had to twinkle it up! I only wish Desktops could be animated so I could have matched today's goodie to this tag exactly. But alas..... Either way, this kit is simply about the fun and good cheer we feel during this season.
In my world, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and when at that magical moment when Santa arrives in the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade, it is officially the Holiday Season and time to decorate the house, cars and computers lol.
I wish you an wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate it, and a very joyful and happy Holiday Season, in spite of the troubles we are facing in the world today. I hope you enjoy this Desktop I've made for you and that it will decorate your computer with Christmas Cheer!
In the zip file, there's one for each popular size monitor
1280 x 1024; 1366 x 768; 1600 x 900; 1920 x 1080

Hello Hello Hello!!
9:16 AM | Posted by Squirrely Shirley Smith | Edit Post
Ahhhh, it feels good to be nibbling in my beloved Treehouse, if only for a brief visit.
I'm now into week 3 of my self imposed month bed rest to heal my sciatica, and am happy to report it is working for sure (smoke THAT in your pipe ever doubtful doctors!). It isn't going to be as fast as I'd hope, but it is working. I can now sit for an hour a day in a regular chair without any pain whatsoever, which is an enormous improvement over non stop truly agonizing pain and swelling of my sciatica region. I've been able to double my exercise regime in this time as well, I'm very pleased with that. Because of these improvements I'm allowing myself now an hour a day on my computer to get some much missed tagging time in.
Of course that meant snapping up Dees'Sign Depot new holiday kit, "Merry Melodies" quicker than you can say Jingle Bell Rock, and having a play with it. I needed to buy some new Winter/Christmas themed tubes and I found this precious tube by Melissa Dawn at CDO. It reminded me of a Christmas card, so that became the theme of my tag. There are so many sweet and glittery elements in Dee's kit, I'm sure I'll be back with more show-offs soon.
Merry Melodies even comes with 2 different alphas to use, one of which I used above. Dee is also bundling her Holiday kits this year, which means you can purchase this full kit which I used, as well as 2 additional sets of clusters and frame clusters made from the kit - all for one great price! Just think how many tags you could make with this amount of glittering gorgeousness! Fa La La La La....
Thanks for looking everyone, I truly miss everyone so much and have told my 3 adult kiddos that all this Mama wants for Christmas this year is a laptop so I can get back to making goodies for the Treehouse and tags for my friends, AND save my sanity in the process lol.

MIA once again....
11:45 AM | Posted by Squirrely Shirley Smith | Edit Post
I wanted to let you all know, that I'm going to be at least a month MIA due to my spinal issues - what else?! I'm on complete bed rest for the month in the hopes that my sciatica will heal itself, and to prevent surgery that will leave me pain free, but wheelchair bound. So please send me good thoughts that this works.

Azzurri sales talks with Alternative Networks 'are over' - insiders
Channel connectivity giants couldn't agree on price
Talks that begun months ago between biz voice and data comms firm Azzurri Communications and AIM-listed suitor Alternative Networks have reached a stalemate over price, claim sources close to negotiations.
In December Azzurri's owner, Silverfleet Capital, exited the business after agreeing a debt-for-equity swap with a syndicate of seven bank investors led by Barclays.
The banks hauled in their own people - CEO Vim Vithaldas, CFO John Whitehead and chairman Keith Taylor - to oversee a revised three-year biz plan, but that could have been cut short.
Channel sources reckon Alternative approached Azzurri some month back and got to due diligence stage but the pair could not settle on an agreed price.
Talking to The Channel, Azzurri CEO Vim Vithaldas claimed: "I am aware of those rumours too".
He said the management is holding talks with "lots of people", some that last "two minutes and some conversations are more than two minutes".
"But where we are at the moment, my brief has been very clear from my first day on 1 December last year: grow the top line and grow the bottom line, and in doing so improve the enterprise value."
The funding Azzurri had in place with its banking syndicate was due to expire in December last year, but Vithaldas said Silverfleet declined an invitation to invest more in the business.
He said the result was a "debt for equity swap" by the VC, which was positive for Azzuri as the "debt and equity sides of the business [became] perfectly aligned".
The syndicate's exposure to the business is £97m, said Vithaldas.
The move cleaned up the balance sheet; the interest repayments were rolled up – so "no more quarterly outflows" to service the debt; and it gave "certainty of ownership", the CEO added.
Talk in the market was that Azzuri's debts outweighed the value of Silverfleet's equity in the business, but Vithaldas said he was unable to comment on this.
The recession-slammed IT market remains challenging for all resellers but Vithaldas insisted all key performance indicators have been met in the last nine months.
"Where we have got a real advantage is the range of our portfolio - mobility, data, ICT, support and calls & lines - so [we are] not a one-trick pony," he said.
In the year to 30 June 2011 - the last filed accounts for Azzurri - turnover fell 8 per cent to £129.4m and operating profit dropped 17.4 per cent to £11.95m.
Alternative Networks did not respond to calls for comment. ®
