My mother-in-law passed away in 99. She left a little money in her IRa that my wife and her brother inherited. In total it was aroun 150,000 to be split between the two of them. We have talked with several accountants and the IRS and get different answers from all of them on what we can do with it. Does anyone know of a good place to get the right answer? We would like to leave it in the IRA if at all possible but the irs says we have to remove before the end of the 5th year.ThanksTodd

Mission: Impossible
Ghost ProtocolDVD - 2012
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
It was a little drawn out until any action happened. Tom looks like he's getting a little 'long in the tooth' for any more of these films... It was still okay, I just liked #1 and #3 best.
Great sequel in the franchise, beautiful locales as well.
When mission impossible was on TV it was one of my favorite programs so I have always liked the Tom Cruise movies with the same name. As far as Tom goes he is a good actor with lots of energy. One has to look past his personal life and his beliefs with the cult he belongs to.
Mission Impossible action/spy movies are always great fun. Despite the fact that there are some anti-Cruise people, he tends to get descent scripts & does a good job entertaining. Effective spy team with entertaining personality dynamics. Bonus material is very enlightening.
An excellent action/espionage film, one of the best from the IMF series. Very entertaining.
Great movie! Love the props and the action! I watched the movie with me brother!
For an action movie this wasn't too bad. A few new gadgets were pretty cool. Yeah the stunts are even crazy by Bond standards and enough with the car crashes, no one is walking away from any of them!

A single photo of the upcoming BlackBerry A10 leaked last week, and now the flagship smartphone has resurfaced in a short video on YouTube.
The recently discovered footage shows a handset, which looks identical to the leaked A10 image from last week, equipped with a BlackBerry 10 interface. The device is much rounder than BlackBerry's current line-up and has a somewhat-large bezel.
Read: Leaked images give first look at high-spec BlackBerry A10
There's not too much else noticeable in the leaked video, but The Verge said the captured device looks as though it could support the A10's rumoured specs.
The A10 will allegedly appeal to the gaming community with a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, 2GB of RAM and a dual-core processor. It's also likely to land in November as the last addition to the BB10 smartphone line-up for the year.
Read: BlackBerry A10 to be 'most powerful, capable' BlackBerry yet?
Check out the video below. It is not official by any means, and could simply be a prototype, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Chesham: For any European member of NATO to achieve a defence capability comparable to that of the US would require more than a doubling of their defence expenditure. A list of the most important specific capabilities which currently only the US can provide to the Alliance would include satellite intelligence and strategic Heavy Lift.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Chesham: The following states were represented, as either members, associate members or observers, at the seminar on "Constitutional Justice and Democracy by Referendum", organised by the European Commission for Democracy through Law:
Lord Methuen asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Lucas: No. But we would consider representations where authorities consider that modification of their software represents a significant and unpredicted new burden.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Lucas: There is no official information available to the Government on member states' implementation of the Habitats Directive.
The directive required member states to transpose its provisions by June 1994. Member states may choose the means of transposition into their national laws. It is for the European Commission to judge the extent to which such transposition in respect of the Habitats Directive has taken place.
As far as the Government are aware, although all member states are actively engaged in site selection and consultation, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have not so far submitted any part of their national lists of sites.
Transposition and communication of the national lists of sites are essential to ensure that the Habitats Directive is implemented coherently across the Union. The Commission may take infraction proceedings under Article 169 of the Treaty against those member states which are considered to have failed to comply with their obligations.
Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Lucas: The Government already follow the precautionary principle in relation to the safety of food products. They require evidence of safety when a novel food is produced or when a new substance is added in the course of food production. If prima facie evidence is found of a new risk in established foods, the Government take action which leaves a significant margin of safety.
Lord Lyell asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Lucas: The Environment Agency's Code on Enforcement Practice was adopted on 23rd April and copies have been placed in the Library of the House. It takes the form of a statement of enforcement policy which sets out how the agency will operate, and detailed guidance for warranted officers, setting out their responsibilities. The documents will be revised over time in the light of experience and comments from all the agency's customers.
Lord Murray of Epping Forest asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Viscount Goschen): The 1995-96 trial period for the two tugs finished on 30th April 1996. The results of the trials are currently being analysed and will be published in due course. We will make public our intentions for future tug deployment on completion of our consideration.
Lord Gisborough asked Her Majesty's Government:
Given that British Coal has refused to transfer any sites to the National Playing Fields Association, what alternative arrangements are being made for this land.
Baroness Miller of Hendon: The Government's objective remains that British Coal land in active use for sport and recreation will be retained for those purposes. Discussions continue with British Coal and the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation as to how this can best be achieved. Those discussions will be concluded as soon as possible.
Lord Gisborough asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Miller of Hendon: This is a matter for British Coal.
Earl Russell asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Department of Social Security (Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish): It is not possible to identify all those research papers which may prove useful for assessing the public expenditure consequences of benefit changes, including second order effects. An example of how research informs these assessments can be found in Options for Equality in State Pension Age (CM 1723, December 1991). Paragraphs 18 and 19 of Appendix 3 describe how the available research was used to estimate the indirect effects on public finances of changing state pension age. All the publications in the department's research report series are placed in the Library and the Research Yearbook provides details of individual projects commissioned by the department.
Lord Acton asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) publishes figures based on the internationally standard definition of unemployment recommended by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is the ILO definition of unemployment that provides the best basis for international comparisons. According to the available figures published by the OECD, the United Kingdom's ILO unemployment rate stood at 5.0 per cent. in the second quarter of 1979. In January 1996 (the latest available date for the comparison requested) the UK rate stood at 8.4 per cent., compared with 5.7 per cent. in the USA and
3.4 per cent. in Japan.

text: The Phoenix Coyotes are battling for the final postseason slot in the Western Conference and look to continue their playoff drive when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. The Coyotes have won five of their last seven to pull into a tie with Dallas for the second wild card in the West, but the Stars have a game in hand and own the tiebreaker between the clubs. Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said there's a chance Martin Hanzal could return to the lineup after sitting out the past seven games.

Rebound books are individually and uniquely created from original publications.
We remove the spines from the original book and using a quality reclaimed paper, intersperse (or interleaf as we like to say) blank pages with selected pages from the original book.
These books are then wire bound (using the best wire binding available) into our very unique -
Journals, Notebooks, Sketch books & Diaries. We always use the original covers.
Our wonderfully unique books certainly make fantastic gifts – with our growing selection there is almost certainly something for everyone.
All the books featured in our shop were destined for landfill, donated from customers or feeling miserable in a charity shop! Once made into a wire bound notebook or journal each book has so much more value and in most cases are transformed into treasured items.

Of the products we create, Ethanol is clearly central. In a typical day, our plant produces an environmentally friendly and cost-effective product of 200-proof alcohol to which we add a chemical denaturant. By including the denaturant, we assure ethanol can only be used for fuel.
Each month we ship about 80 railcars and 250 truckloads of ethanol from our Stanley plant.
Co-products of ethanol production.
- Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS) and Wet Distillers Grains with Solubles (WDGS), co-products of our ethanol production, offer livestock feeders a valuable high-protein resource. Ace Ethanol produces about 360 tons of DDGS per day. WDGS are made to order upon request. Our DDGS carry a guaranteed analysis of 28% protein, 4% crude fat, and 10% crude fiber at 12.5% moisture, and our WDGS contain 10% protein at 68% moisture.
- A steady market for the CO2 our plant generates during the refining process supplies the food and beverage industry. All CO2 we sell meets GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative Standards – a worldwide, business-driven program to achieve quality production standards) and the FDA Food Modernization Act (aimed at preventing food contamination). It's a valued tool for meat and poultry processing, soda and beer manufacturing, and in taconite mining. Our CO2 production offers a renewable alternative to mined CO2. We also market CO2 in the form of dry ice for frozen food packing.
- The Corn Oil extraction process begins with the 12,000 tons of Syrup created as a result of ethanol creation. Our plant produces about 8,000 tons of corn oil yearly using a centrifuge system. Corn oil from our plant is typically sold to Wisconsin buyers for animal feed and as a component in biodiesel production.
If you're interested in purchasing dried distillers grains or wet distillers grains for your livestock operations, contact our Distillers Grain Manager Shannon Steinmetz at email@example.com.
New Holland Club
Farmers who provide corn for ethanol plants can get special discounts on New Holland® equipment and help the ethanol industry at the same time. To learn more, contact Don Zwicker at 715-644-5515.

Skype is the new Carterfone
I've been wanting to write all week about Skype's new iPhone client, which has been long desired, recently rumored, and finally released Tuesday at CTIA to considerable accolade.
Given a chance to mull it over, I believe this will prove to be the watershed in the end of operator control of mobile wireless networks.
A key issue when the iPhone was announced two years ago was AT&T's ban on VOIP and other IP-based technologies that would use its data network while rendering its voice network obsolete. Apple was put in the odd position of promoting iChat as its ubiquitous peer to peer messenger and videoconference system, but blocked from offering it from day one (and even with the iPhone 3G) by operator restrictions.
Since 2007, Skype has been trying to win a Carterfone-type ruling from the FCC to require open device interconnection over mobile networks. The US operators — particularly Verizon and SBCAT&T — have been fighting it bitterly. There's no resolution yet, although the carriers seem likely to lose with Democrats in the White House for the next 4+ years.
It's not just a US issue. Major European cellphone operators like T-Mobile, Orange (France Telecom) and Vodafone kept searching for that river in Egypt in hopes that mobile VoIP will just go away.
However, with the new iPhone app Skype has brilliantly finessed the issue by making it (perhaps temporarily) Wi-Fi only. There's no legal way for AT&T or Apple to block it — with serious antitrust implications if they try — and the full Skype functionality is available at home, at work and at many public hotspots (including a lot of medium-sized airports).
So if I can't Skype over AT&T, I'll Skype over Wi-Fi. Skype (and competing VoIP) clients will be Wi-Fi enabled on all the major smartphone platforms. Skype is already on Windows Mobile, and Skype for BlackBerry is due in May, and presumably Symbian and Android are not far behind. (I'm not sure how they plan to make money beyond fairly weak freemium offerings, but that's another story).
If the 3G network doesn't actually provide Skype service, the cost sensitive and technologically savvy (like college students) will just use a phone (or PDA like an iPod Touch) without a data plan and do most of their calling at their local Panera. I also think this will (perversely) further commoditize Wi-Fi hotspots, because coffee shops (etc.) that offer free Wi-Fi will steal traffic from those that do not until free becomes the norm (except maybe in dominant airports where there is little choice.)
Together, this will cannibalize the operator revenue growth the way that mobile has done to landlines and IPTV is starting to do to cable and dish. Skype (with cash from parent eBay) and its knock-offs will put a cap on what people will pay for semi-reliable voice service
This is the beginning of the end of 30 years of mobile phone revenue growth. On the regulatory front, it's time to tip the king as the outcome is decided. Will the carriers admit that they can't win and quietly back down, or will they fight to the end?
While Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile may dig in their heels, this could prove an opportunity for Sprint to embrace the inevitable future as a market opportunity. Perhaps one of Sprint's smartphones (for now limited to the Pre or a BlackBerry) will come bundled with a VoIP client if (iPhone-style) there's a mandatory data plan.
Once the leader in shifting mobile phone pricing, Sprint was strangely the laggard when carriers finally offered (overpriced) unlimited use plans. Its current CEO, Dan Hesse, has severe financial pressures but also fewer ties to the old way of doing things than his three major US competitors.
This is one of the few chances Sprint has to control its own destiny. On the other hand — as I teach my strategy students — in a price war, everybody loses, it's just that the low cost leader loses a lot less.

The House of Representatives Is Ready to Require a Warrant for Email Access
Privacy advocates have been looking to revise the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act for years. It was written before email was widespread and allows cops to read emails that are six months old or older without a warrant. That's because the law treats emails that are "undownloaded" as abandoned property. In 1986 that might have been a fair assumption, but today most of us use webmail and don't necessarily have local copies of our emails, it being 2014 and all.
Up until now, nothing had actually happened. But on Tuesday, the Email Privacy Act update to the ECPA gained its 218th co-sponsor in the House of Representatives, which means an absolute majority now supports it. As Mark Stanley of the Center for Democracy & Technology pointed out in a blog post, the three most recent co-sponsors are Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.; Ted Deutch, D-Fla.; and Cedric Richmond, D-La.—a good representation of the bill's unusual overall bipartisan support.
If the House votes on the bill, it will pass, so now's the time. Twenty-eight years is long enough to wait, right? Especially since the state of digital privacy has changed, well, quite a bit since the '80s.

The town of Tupper Lake agreed to swap a parcel of town-owned land for a village lot during a board meeting last week.
The deal is a way of reconciling the town's accidental sale of a village-owned lot near North Little Wolf Road. Town officials believed they were cashing in on some vacant land, but a tax map search after the transaction revealed that it wasn't all theirs to sell.
The two-acre lot sold at auction in December to Michael and Kathy Kenniston for $21,600. When the town found out that the village owned part of the property, it began looking for ways to remedy the situation.
The land deal is seen by both village and town officials as a no-fuss maneuver that will allow the land sale to go through.
In exchange for the village-owned lot, the town will turn over a piece of land it owns near the Civic Center on the corner of Santa Clara and McLaughlin Avenues.

The Bottom Dollar in MMA News (Nov. 29, 2008)November 29, 2008
-- UFC 91 did gigantic numbers. The most consistent number I've seen has them assuredly topping 850,000 buys for the show, and could even be over 900,000. It's the second biggest show in UFC history (right behind UFC 66), and it means that Brock Lesnar has drawn over 2 million buys this year, which nobody has done since Tito Ortiz did it in 2006.
It also means that it was easily the biggest PPV event of the year, at least until De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao takes place.
-- Jorge Gurgel and Sokoudjou were cut. Neither one is a surprise, since both guys seem to relish being defeated. Gurgel has already signed with Strikeforce, and Affliction is trying to bring in Sokoudjou for January, but word has it that both DREAM and WVR are making a play for him as well.
I see him likely ending up back in Japan, where they love foreigners who can put on entertaining fights, which Sokoudjou can certainly do for at least one round before he gets tired.
-- Randy Couture hasn't made up his mind about fighting again. He could very well retire from fighting and has said that it all depends on who the UFC offers him as an opponent.
As far as the potential fight with Chuck Liddell, I can tell you that neither side has been offered the fight, and at this point, it's something that has only been discussed internally. There has been absolutely no talk within the company of Liddell moving to heavyweight, and that's something that won't even be discussed until after the fight is accepted by both parties.
This is a fight that Dana White would love to make, but it hasn't gotten past the discussion stages yet, and both fighters confirm that the company have not approached them about it. The rumors have been running wild and people are treating it like a done deal, but that's just not the case at this point.
-- There is talk of a big potential return by a former UFC star that could take place at one of the February shows. I haven't been able to track down anything concrete, but the two names being tossed around the most are Frank Shamrock and Josh Barnett.
Both of those are very unlikely to ever return to Zuffa, which means that it would indeed be shocking if it were to happen. Frank Shamrock vs. Anderson Silva would be a huge fight, because there is nobody in the fighting industry who understands how to sell a fight better than Frank Shamrock, and if Silva beats him in dramatic fashion, it could finally be the push that turns Silva into a true superstar instead of just being the best fighter in the world.
-- Fabricio Werdum's story about Zuffa wanting to renegotiate his contract is likely not true. All UFC sources have stated that Werdum was cut outright and there was no attempt to cut his contract in half. There were a lot of reasons for Werdum being dismissed, and his management played a large role in it.
The complaints about not getting a title shot surely factored into the decision. He also had a gigantic contract and the company felt like they couldn't book him in a fight that would draw enough money to justify what they were paying him, so they cut him.
He will land with Affliction, possibly in time for the January show. Affliction should just cut everyone but the heavyweights and become a heavyweights-only promotion. People love to watch the heavyweights, and they have the best heavyweight roster in the sport and could probably carve out a good niche for themselves by concentrating on the giants.
-- UFC 92 has only sold 5,500 tickets for a $1.7 million gate thus far in the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which is weird considering the show is the strongest of the year on paper. None of the three main events for the show equal Couture vs. Lesnar in stature or hype, but all three of the fights could have been main events on any other show.
The company is blaming it on New Year's Eve being on a Wednesday, because people will come into Vegas on the weekend for New Year's and attend the traditional December UFC show, but with New Year's being four days later, it's tough to keep people in town.
I have no idea if this is true or even plausible, but I suppose that as far as excuses go, it's as good as any.
-- The winner of the Urijah Faber vs. Jens Pulver fight in January will get a shot at the winner of the Mike Brown/Leonard Garcia fight that'll take place in March. Contracts haven't been signed for Faber/Pulver II as of press time, but they're expected to be finished soon.
-- Round 5 signed exclusive deals with Rich Franklin, Sean Sherk, Wanderlei Silva, Randy Couture, Matt Hughes, Rampage Jackson, and Tito Ortiz. The toy deals are exclusive, and UFC won't be allowed to create action figures of those fighters, which explains why Zuffa has been so insistent on getting the merchandising options signed.
-- No location has been finalized for the Feb. 7 Spike show, but that will likely be done within the week. They are looking at a southeast location.
-- The next season of The Ultimate Fighter will kick off on Apr. 1, and there will be a two hour Fight Night to kick it off.
-- Brock and Rena Lesnar's first child is due in June.

I take a lot of photos of Xavi. A lot. Too many. I thought I'd spend the next eleven days before Xavi turns three sharing my favorite photo for each month of his not-so-terrible Two's.
Xavi is not a big fan of the cold and frankly neither am I. Sometimes we get a little bit of cabin fever so Xavi will just run up and down the halls and jump up and down on the bed until I stop him.
I don't take a lot of photos of Xavi when we're just hanging out at home but that doesn't stop my mother from texting me about having not seen any new photos. I went to take a couple to satisfy the grandparents and let Xavi jump on the bed while I got my camera ready. I tried to get a couple of not blurry ones but I'm not very good at shutter speed (I'm not a photographer. I just have a semi-decent camera). I liked this one because you can see how much hair we're dealing with here.

The Creation of Jaci's Lodges
This amazing couple moved over 8000 animals into what was declared the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve.
In line with the Heteren's commitment to sustainable conservation the species moved included Elephants, Hippos, Spotted Hyena, Lions and the rare and endangered African Wild dog.
Since the introduction of a group of only six highly endangered Wild Dogs into Madikwe Game Reserve in 1994 the dogs have faced a challenging environment due to rabies out breaks, territorial battles and lion attacks. However, despite all the adversity the Wild Dog is alive and well at the reserve and the reserve proudly boasts three hunting packs and has even introduced dogs from other reserves.
The Wild Dog is a must see animal on your trip to Madikwe Game Reserve and are fascinating to observe. This very energetic and active animal is in stark contrast to the lion that spend most of their days sleeping. As the dogs are now accustomed to the safari vehicles great viewings and photo shots are possible.
As well as the dedication to save and indeed grow declining species of wildlife, other community based projects have also become part of the fabric of Jaci's Lodges. A recycling project within the local community has been formed where waste is separated using a color code system, then compacted into bricks with a special machine and taken to the local recycling depot. This project runs in parallel with others including the Collect-a-Can initiative, planting trees and the Jaci's staff trust.
Further evidence of giving back and community support is evidenced by the regular purchase of cookies for the guests enjoyment from the Khayelitsha Cookie Company, a company formed in a Cape Town township that now employs 44 mostly single mothers who also enjoy a 30% share of the company.
Jaci's Lodges is made up of Jaci's Safari Lodge, followed by Jaci's Tree House which stands on stilts offering groups, families and couples a wonderful relaxing African bushveld experience. This unique safari offering is available from Southern Africa Travel, contact us today for further information.

Celebrity revelations can come from unexpected places. A young woman named Jennifer Bruhl worked as a paparazzi in Hollywood for three "insane" years before she retired and wrote a book called "Shooting Stars" which was excerpted in the NY Post. Among her disclosures were a story about Seal's nasty temper (no surprise to us or to Heidi Klum) and the fact that female paparazzi are dealt with more harshly by female celebrities. Jennifer noted that when female celebrities are confronted by a pack of photographers, they single out and berate the girls. Hilary Duff was known to verbally attack the women, but by far the worst were Marcia Cross and Nicole Ritchie. Their insults to the female paparazzi were evil and vulgar. What's their problem?

Were their children involved? If so there's your answer (except for the vulgar part)…no excuse.

I've seen the way paparazzi aggressively swarm celebrities and it's not pretty. I don't blame celebs for fighting back one bit. Paps are vultures with no conscience – greedy leeches who'd rather fight over the crumbs that fall from fame's table than work a REAL JOB.

AFP - Scientists said Monday they had discovered fragments of the meteor that spectacularly plunged over Russia's Ural Mountains creating a shockwave that injured 1,200 people and damaged thousands of homes.
This meteorite belongs to the class of regular chondrites," the university statement said.
Grokhovsky said the rock in question was composed in part of metallic iron as well as chrysolite and sulfite.
Its iron content was estimated at 10 percent.
"We confirm that the particles of a substance found by our expedition near Lake Chebarkul really do have the composition of a meteorite," RIA Novsosti quoted Russian Academy of Sciences member Viktor Grokhovsky as saying late Sunday
Grokhovsky said the tiny rock's find came in the snow not far away from the lake. He also expressed confidence that a much larger meteorite was buried in its waters.

Beneath the "fiscal cliff" debate is a fundamental battle of philosophy. Liberal economics prioritizes equality, while conservative economics prioritizes efficiency.

Ray's Take No matter what your position on global warming, going green and using fewer natural resources still makes sense. Why not preserve as much quality of the air, water, and earth as possible for our grandchildren? It's another form of saving for the future. Plus, a lot of times it can save you money as well.
In a recent newspaper article, a basketball coach is quoted: "I think our guys are champing at the bit to get back on the court." The context was aptly suggested by the lead: "It's been a long break between games … ." The team hasn't played in nine days. They're eager to get back into competition. They are champing at the bit. Congrats, coach! Your usage of the phrase is perfect!
START. STOP. START SOMETHING NEW. There we were in our shirtsleeves, playing golf on a 70-degree Saturday in December, when my old friend, cart mate and Republican said, "I could get used to this global warming stuff." Unable to resist the smart-ass opening I had just been provided, I replied, "Must be tough on you guys these days – not only do you have to admit to global warming, you have to throw Grover and the pledge under the elephant."
Part two of a two-part series on year-end fundraising Year-end giving is in full swing. Amid the hustle and bustle of the holidays nonprofits are busy soliciting. Email, direct mail, TV and in-person solicitations are on in full force. Competition for the philanthropic dollar is fierce as organizations seek to encourage our generosity. Our heartstrings are pulled at, and it is easy – and good! – to impulsively give. With just a "click" on a link we can make a difference in no time flat.

September 04, 2012 16:48 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 4, 2012) - Shear Diamonds Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRM)("Shear") announces that it has suspended production of its high grade stockpiles at the 100% owned Jericho diamond mine as a result of continuing weak world diamond prices. During this interim phase and until prices improve, Shear will look at exploration assets proximal to the Jericho site such as its Carat and Muskox properties, coupled with further definition of its in situ diamond resource at Jericho that will include diamond results from Shear's in pit drilling. Having successfully recovered a significant number of carats from the high grade concentrate stockpiles and having successfully re-established continuing around-the-clock production at Jericho over the last months, Shear has demonstrated that a significant number of diamonds went unrecovered during Jericho's previous operations.
World diamond market prices have dropped sharply, well below Shear's break even prices. As previously disclosed, this drop has posed significant challenges to Shear's finances. In June, Shear and its diamond marketing partner and lender, Taché Company N.V. ("Taché"), had determined to continue funding production from the high grade stockpiles. Shear and Tache jointly have deferred end user sales of the parcels that had been shipped to Taché in the hope that diamond prices would recover relatively quickly.
Shear has accomplished two significant milestones for the year - renewal of our Type A Water Licence plus around the clock production and diamond recovery from stockpiles. Given the continuing low prices, the decision has therefore been to suspend production and to seek financing or alternative transactions to move the project and exploration forward, in order to be in the position to proceed to production when diamond markets recover.
"While we are gratified that we achieved our 2012 goals, we are subject to many factors that are outside our control, such as current low diamond prices. Prices have dropped significantly just as we were hitting our stride," said President and CEO Julie Lassonde. "Shear had assembled an outstanding team that has enabled us to overcome many challenges and in achieving our goals, including recently repairing a damaged thickener core well ahead of schedule and on budget," added Ms. Lassonde. "We will now turn to obtaining further financing for exploration."
Since commencing production in April, Shear has delivered three parcels to Taché, with an aggregate of 47, 516.32 carats. A further shipment to Taché of the diamonds produced to date will be made in mid- September. In addition to its $2 million term loan, Shear has to date drawn US$1.6 million against its US$3 million revolving line of credit with Taché. Shear and Taché have jointly agreed that this suspension is in Shear's long term interest, and continue to collaboratively consider project value maximization.

Renewable energy and water quality all have made headlines this year - and each could get a boost from a loan program promoted by a recent visit to Ohio by a USDA official.
The loan program, launched this month by the USDA, provides farmers and farm-related business operators access to credit to help prevent erosion and conserve their land, says Jonathan Coppess, administrator of the Farm Service Agency.
The loans are for as much as $300,000 and give farmers who want to implement conservation measures a chance to do so by helping with their upfront costs, Coppess said.
"In return, these producers will help to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable and organic agricultural practices," he says.

Due to the word limit of the contest, this is a resume of my latest trip report.
"Is ice climbing safe (… "dangerous" is the word he's avoiding…) at this temperature?" asks Zane. Good question, at 7:46AM, under the rain. Montreal is as grey and ugly as it gets. Is ice climbing safe?
"Of course it's safe Zane! It's snowing where we're going", do I calmly reply. We're waiting for my friend Simon, who told us he's got a surprise... As a rule, climbing and "surprises" do not mix well. We're not climbing yet, but… Hum. When Simon arrives, he's accompanied by a beautiful, light green-eyed, very cheerful twenty-something girl- friend of his.
"Still hate surprises, Louis?" Zane calls in the background. Jerk. Doesn't he realize that this is the kind of surprising event that can wake up my sweet love, asleep in the next room, in a sec'? How can't he forget/ignore that she's jealous as a female tiger, and has the hearing of the coyote prowling for fresh meat? Even while deeply asleep! My possessive "Hulkette" is better left undisturbed. I'd rather she doesn't know we're about to go ice climbing with Miss Brazil 2009. For my best interest - and his - I strongly advise him to shut up, or I might reconsider the full extend of our friendship while I take slack during today's climb.
I roughly shove everybody out of my 3-room apartment just as the "surprise" starts to tell us of how funny skinny dipping can be… A sport she discovered during her last trip. Who brought that subject up? No-brainers…
The ride goes quickly by and we all find out that Genevieve (Miss Brazil is not her name after all) is not only pretty, but ALSO smart AND sporty, and even that that she's been approached to play contact football by an American university. She is a nice addition to our group, with her dark, raunchy and direct sense of humor. For sake of a better expression, I'd say she's a guy in a girl's body. As we cross Prevost, the rain turns to snow and the temperature drops to a perfect -7 Celsius with no wind. The scenery gets prettier as plains gently roll to become the Laurentian Mountains.
We reach the base of the cliff, after a mere 8-meters approach from the car, during which Genevieve and Simon manage to:
- Drop a crampon in 40 centimeters of fresh powder.
- Argue whose fault it is.
- Throw water bottles at each other.
- Lose one of the bottles for good. Nature. They're sorry.
- Shove at each other.
- Find the crampon - thanks to Genevieve, who pushed Simon, who fell on the crampon, which punctured his $300.00 brand new ski pants and also, his left rear cheek.
- All that, over 8 meters. Wonder…
Everybody struggles at first as they try to master the art of good pick placement and to trust their crampons front points. I always thought that these were trickiest skills to grasp for people who start ice climbing. It is, however, soooo entertaining to watch.
We stop for a bite, sip water and talk a bit. The conversation turns around past and future trips. Genevieve tries to lure me into going to Chile with her for a 4x4 road adventure, intertwined with surf and climbing in the Tierra del Fuego. (I wisely omit this part of the conversation while relating the day's events to my girlfriend that night…) We also talk about what can lead a person to go ice climbing, at which point one of my friends says: "Is it because you like to spend money and feel pain?" First time I hear this one… Could that make some sense?
They go back to work as I make my way to the top and set up a new anchor, from which I can take pictures. Being at a distance from Zane, Simon, and Genevieve, I can observe them better. I can see so much more than their plain climbing moves. I notice the brother/sister friendship of Simon and Genevieve as they resume the push and shove match they began after they got out of the car. My friend and colleague Zane's demeanor, so calm, in control, as he calculates everything and basks in the moment. The peaceful scenery of the trees covered with snow, dampening every noise. The feeling that, I've reached the place I feel best. As Zane reaches the ledge where I belayed him up he admires and addresses directly to the sky: "I love this" and turns to me: "Thanks!"
Giving back. Giving back. A big part of what the outdoors mean to me. When I get them, I'll add the pictures.

I/ITSEC 2013 will feature exhibitors from major industries, governments, research organizations and academic institutions, with a special focus of serious games.
Arlington, VA (PRWEB) November 13, 2013
The National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA) is pleased to announce the 2013 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), which will be highlighted this year by a Serious Games Challenge and Competition. The event, one of the largest exhibitions of any kind in the U.S. and geared toward the world of virtual reality, modeling, and simulation, is scheduled from Dec. 2-5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
I/ITSEC is by far the world's largest conference and exhibition dedicated to modeling and simulation--technologies that are transforming how we learn, plan, manufacture, distribute and predict. This year, more than 500 corporations, government agencies, research organizations and academic institutions from around the world will populate the Orange County Convention Center floor, occupying over 400,000 square feet of space.
"Modeling and simulation are creating great demand for ever more diverse and targeted Serious Games, both for their intrinsic value and for incorporation into broader simulation environments," said James Robb, President of the NTSA, organizers of I/ITSEC.
"Serious Games are playing an increasingly important role in attaining training objectives in healthcare, defense, math, language, intercultural communications, and a host of other critical applications," said Kent Gritton, organizer of the Serious Games Showcase and Challenge. "Blending special effects with complex problem solving objectives, Serious Games are blurring the distinction between Hollywood special effects and traditional simulations based on learning to manipulate platforms," Gritton added.
This year's Serious Games Showcase and Challenge is expected to attract submissions from universities, individuals and small and large businesses from the U.S. and around the world. Competition categories include a Student's Choice Award, top games in Business, Government, and Student categories, as well as Best Mobile Games and a Special Emphasis Award for Adaptive Force, a game that enables adult learners to hone their ability to make sound decisions when faced with less-than-perfect or evolving information.
Game submissions for 2013 originate with such diverse organizations as the FBI, the Singapore Armed Forces, MIT, and the Queensland University of Technology, to name a few.
"If you are interested in PC-based gaming of any sort and wish to experience the world's best problem-solving and learning applications for gaming, you can't afford to miss this year's event," Robb added.
Registration for I/ITSEC 2013 is also at http://www.iitsec.org and videos of last year's Serious Games winners and other exhibitors from I/ITSEC 2012 can be viewed on You Tube at youtube.com/NTSAToday.

Parsonage reopens next month
2 comments:
I am looking forward to seeing 'Jane Eyre' in February. It is always enjoyable to watch these films within sight of where the books were written. I think that Patrick Bronte would have been very interested in the 'polarizing microscopy' taking place at the parsonage.Who knows, there may be an unidiscovered paper concerning something similar that he wrote
to some newspaper or other. As the 150th anniversary of his death approaches what would he think of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World'- only another 529 years to go!

Cool. I hope those who aren't aware with these kind of places especially those art fanatics can learn and go here. There's actually a mobile app that acts like an art guide where it tells me where a specific painting or any art can be found. I hope there is also an app that shows tourist spots of different countries. Oh, btw, for those curious, the name of the art guide app is ArtGuru.

I started Sceneramic (see-ner-am-ic) Photography in 1995 to display and sell my work in the US although I also cater to an international market. I derived the name "Sceneramic" by combining the words "scenery" and "panoramic", which encompasses my primary objectives while shooting landscape and travel photography.
I've been a photographer since 1977 dabbling in multiple fields including modeling portfolios, family portraiture, weddings, industrial photography, product photography, advertising photography, and travel and landscape photography.
Today, I'm an established landscape, travel, and drone photographer and videographer with collections of images and video representing my travels whilst exploring the wonders of the world.

Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, but they don't take the place of brushing and other tips to prevent decay. Help your child brush and floss daily, get regular fluoride treatments, and see your dentist regularly.
A sealant is a clear or white, acrylic-like material that bonds with the tooth to help a shield out decay-causing bacteria from the chewing surfacing of the back teeth. They form a protective barrier covering the pits and fissures (depressions and grooves) to prevent cavities in hard to clean back teeth.
Sealants are a safe, painless, and low-cost way to protect patients' teeth - particularly children. Sealants have been used on children's teeth for more than 30 years to keep food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves of their developing teeth. Children's cavities occur most often in these areas because the bristles of a toothbrush are often too wide to enter the area, even with vigorous brushing.
To complicate matters, tooth enamel is thinner in pits and fissures than in other areas of the tooth, so they are particularly vulnerable to decay. Decay occurs as bacteria acts on food to form acids that weaken and destroy tooth enamel. After decay starts and a cavity is formed, it must be repaired by a dentist to save the tooth. Although fluoride use has reduced the incidence of tooth decay, it is of limited use in protecting pits and fissures. This is why sealants are an invaluable form of protection, since they provide a true shield from decay causing agents.
Children are often better candidates than adults for this treatment because sealants can only be applied if teeth are free of decay and fillings, which is the case with new teeth in children.
Sealants should be applied as soon as the first permanent molars (6-year molars) come in, between 5 and 7 years of age. The second molars (12-year molars) and the premolars should be sealed as soon as they come in, between 11 and 14 years of age. That's because the greatest chance of decay occurs during the first three years after the teeth come in. However, it's never too late to apply sealants, as long as the teeth are free of decay and fillings.
The baby molars often don't need to be sealed. However, your dentist may recommend sealing the baby molars if there is a high risk of decay. Since baby teeth are "space holders," losing baby molars from decay can cause crowding when the permanent teeth come in.
Sealants are usually long-lasting if the seal remains intact. Regular checkups are necessary to make sure the sealant has not been dislodged and to reapply if needed. Some hard foods, such as candy, ice, or sticky foods, may dislodge sealants and should be avoided.
If the decay process has already started, it is too late to apply sealants as a preventative measure. Decay will not start under a fissure sealant because the decay-causing organisms are deprived of food and oxygen that is required for them to flourish. Therefore, some teeth may not be good candidates for sealing while others may be fine. Only your dentist can make that decision.
Sealants can be applied by any member of your dental team. There is no discomfort associated with sealant application, so numbing is not necessary. The treatment is done in three quick, easy steps.
To begin, the teeth are cleaned, dried, and etched so the sealant will adhere. Any plaque (a bacterial film) is first removed from the teeth. Cotton rolls are placed around the teeth to keep them dry. Then each tooth is treated with a mild etching solution to kill any bacteria and make the surface slightly rough. A rough surface helps the sealant adhere better.
Second, the sealant is painted on and hardened. The chewing surface of each tooth is painted with liquid sealant, using a small brush or applicator. Spaces between the teeth are not painted, so your child can still floss between each tooth. The sealant is then hardened, usually with a special light.
Finally, the sealant is carefully checked. Each tooth is examined to be sure that the grooves are fully covered and that the sealant won't interfere with chewing. The sealant bonds to the tooth as it hardens so your child can eat normally right away.
Sealant material is quite durable, but it is a good idea to occasionally check to make sure it is still in place (chewing on ice cubes, hard candy or sticky foods should be avoided). Here are some great snack alternatives that combined with sealants and fluoride, reduce your chances of tooth decay:
The use of sealants substantially reduces the risk of tooth decay by keeping food and bacteria out of cavity prone areas. Some people mistakenly believe that once the teeth are sealed, that is all that is necessary.
However, sealants are but one of the group of measures needed for good care of your teeth. In combination with careful brushing, flossing and fluoride, sealants are an effective step towards a lifetime of excellent dental health.
If you have any further questions about sealants, please ask your dentist.

It has some mild side effects associated with it as well. Side effects occur when you take it for a very long period of time and in more quantity. Major drawback of Anavar is that it is too costly, although available in black market but one cannot be so sure of the authenticity of it bought from there. As it is DHT and due to this hair loss and acne can occur. But hair loss only in men who have got this hair loss disease genetically transmitted. There could be high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels but only for those who are not living a healthy life style and these diseases are not transmitted genetically to the users as well. Due to the non aromatizing nature of Anavar it has taken side effects of water retention and Gynecomastia out of the equation.

The exchange, formed in a 2011 merger of the MICEX and RTS bourses, set its price range at 55-61 roubles a share on Monday for the February 15 listing.
The exchange said in a statement that it hoped to raise more than $500m from the offering so that it can boost the capitalisation of its clearing subsidiary and improve its IT infrastructure.
The authorities hope that a successful IPO will help encourage others to forgo financial capitals such as Hong Kong or London and list instead in Moscow to improve the city's business climate.
The rouble-denominated MICEX exchange and dollar-denominated RTS are dominated by trading in just a few major companies such as the natural gas giant Gazprom and top Russian bank Sberbank.
But other companies' decisions to raise capital abroad has held off realisation of President Vladimir Putin's dream of making Moscow into a global financial powerhouse.
The combined MICEX-RTS exchange was valued at $4.5 billion at the time of its merger. The Moscow Exchange has 2.197 billion shares and includes the Central Bank and Sberbank as its two main shareholders.
Neither intends to part with their 24.3pc and 10.3pc respective stakes. The shares will be offered by the MICEX exchange and its main subsidiary.
The Moscow Exchange posted a $215 million profit in the first nine months of last year.

New and important discoveries are happening daily in the world of science, and the internet pushes announcement of these discoveries to our computers at lightning speed. For those who produce science curriculum, it is all but impossible to compile well-researched, comprehensive, timely educational materials. Even direct-to-web publications and publishers with big budgets and extensive staffs have a hard time keeping up with the speed of science.
Our research indicates that our member schools choose science curriculums that best suit their needs, and often these are secular publications. It is then up to the teacher to supplement the materials to incorporate a Christian worldview. Our research also indicates that our member schools value the Christian worldview that Christian Schools International incorporates into our science curriculum. We wanted to develop a product that would help teachers to bring this worldview into their classrooms even if they choose not to use CSI's science curriculum.
A poll of our member schools revealed high interest in using a Christian worldview supplement:
Science educators discuss the ways that faith and science come together in our newest teacher resource.

Forest Permits
The Forest Act (12 of 2001) Amended Act 13 of 2005 requires anybody who needs to harvest, transport, and export or market forest resources to be in possession of a valid permit issued by the nearest forestry office.
Permits are issued by all forestry offices except for export permits (commercial) issued by Windhoek, Otjiwarongo and Grootfontein offices only.
Target Group or Beneficiaries
Anybody who needs to harvest, transport, and export or market forest resources
Processes and Procedures of getting the Service
Permits are issued by all forestry offices except for export permits (commercial) issued by Windhoek, Otjiwarongo and Grootfontein offices only.
Requirements for different forestry permits:
Harvesting permit
Complete application form with all the required details. If applicant is not the legal owner of the farm, a written permission is required from the rightful owner. Permit will only be issued if an inspection is done on the farm. The reason for the inspection is to see whether there are sufficient resources available to grant such quantities applied by the applicant.
The validity of the permit is for a maximum period of 6 Months and the Fee payable is N$15.
Marketing permit
The same information is required as for the Harvesting Permit, except that the applicant needs to indicate the places of market and the origin of the Forest Produce to be marketed. A marketing permit will only be issued once the applicant submits a Harvesting Permit, this applies especially for those that harvest in one region and wants to market in another region.
The validity is for the maximum period of 6 months and the Fee payable is N$15.
Transport permit (commercial or own use)
The transport Commercial permit is required for applicants that are selling the Forest Produce whereas the own use is for those applicants that need the produce for their own consumption. The important information needed here is the REGISTRATION NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE OR THE NAME OF THE TRANSPORT AGENT.
The validity of these two permits is for a maximum period of Fourteen (14) Days and the fee payable is N$15.
Export permit (commercial or own use)
The Export Commercial Permit is a permit that enables the applicant to export Forest Produce to other countries. Some countries require the forest produce to be accompanied by a Fumigation Certificate (obtained from the destination country; for South Africa it is the Department of Water and Forestry in Pretoria), a Phytosanitary Certificate (obtained from the Department of Veterinary Services, Ministry of Agriculture, 2nd floor room 269, telephone 208 7527). The same applies to the Export for Own Use with the exception that the Import Permit can be issued from the Border Post.
The validity of the Export Commercial is 7 days only and the fee is based on the weight of the Produce and is calculated as follows: N$5 per ton for the first ten tons and N$2 per ton for all the additional tons. The Export for Own Use is also valid for 7 days and costs N$5.

Where There's Smoke There Are Regulations: Ilia Shrago strolls past the last remaining hookah lounge in town
Smoke and Fears
The city of Santa Cruz cracks down on hookah bars
By Curtis Cartier
THE SANTA CRUZ City Council is not a fan of hookah parlors. Last Tuesday, city leaders took all of three minutes to discuss and approve a set of tough new restrictions that outlaws hookah parlors from setting up shop near schools and parks, and also caps the number of parlors allowed in city limits at two. The new laws come in addition to previous regulations that keep hookah parlors from serving food or beverages--including water--and from having live music.
For councilmembers like Katherine Beiers and Don Lane, the parlors, which offer flavored tobacco for smoking in communal water pipes, represent an unhealthy activity for residents and a dangerous influence for kids. But for hookah parlor owners like Nathan Madani, the new laws are just one more swipe against personal freedoms and entrepreneurs.
"When I opened Madani's Hookah Parlor we got all kinds of trouble from the city," says Madani from Hollywood, where he's relocated his hookah business after closing his North Pacific Avenue store last year. "They wanted to make an example of me because I was the only one in town at the time. I lost around $30,000 just doing floor plan requirements for the city. It's unfair."
At the crux of the council's decision is a recent report by the World Health Organization that describes a single hookah smoking session as equal to a "cigarette smoker inhaling 100 or more cigarettes." Councilmember Beiers went so far as to say she'd like the parlors banned altogether.
"It's obviously unhealthy and not something I think we should be supporting," says Beiers. "Sure, I'd like them gone, but for now I'm content with the new ordinance."

Until early 2008, Santa Cruz hosted three hookah parlors. Today, both Madani's shop and the Giza Hookah Lounge on Mission Street have closed their doors, leaving the Smoke This! parlor on Laurel Street next to the Santa Cruz Teen Center the only hookah house in town. Despite its close proximity to the Teen Center, under the new laws, Smoke This! will be grandfathered in and won't be forced to leave. Any future parlors, however, would be effectively banned from the downtown business district, as they must keep 1,000 feet away from schools, parks and recreation areas, leaving few places in the city where they would be allowed.
A manager at Smoke This! was reluctant to give his thoughts on the new regulations. He did say, however, that business was better since his competitors left town. Madani, meanwhile, says he has a few words of advice for anyone considering opening Santa Cruz's second hookah parlor.
"Do your homework, be ready to spend a lot of money. And good luck finding a building," he says.

Farm fresh French
Cyrano's Farm & Kitchen, 546 N. Wells St. 312-467-0546
When chef-owner Didier Durand revamped the menu along with the decor at his River North restaurant, he literally bought the farm—a small farm in Indiana like the one he grew up on in France, that is. The new menu features farm-to-table French fare including beef bourguignon tacos (three for $7) and a lamb shank entree ($22). 5-10 p.m.
