Corriente Ranch Cutter Sorting Saddle SB910
The ranch cutter sorting saddle is a perfect combination of a tough ranch working saddle and a saddle made for arena performance as well. This saddle is built on a buster welsh front end with a tree started with a wooden base and rawhide covered for maximum strength. With a stout tree this saddle is made to rope out of. This saddle features a taller swell and hard seat for a more laid back ride for those long days in the saddle. It has a 3.5" cantle to give the rider a secure seat and 7" gullet to fit a wide variety of horses. The saddle is set on quarter horse bars. This saddle is rough out leather where you sit, and tooled basket on the front swells and back skirting. The rough out leather is good to keep the rider centered whatever the path has up ahead. We put 4 strings on it as well as cutout skirts under the fender to better feel the movement of the horse and have closer contact. The fenders are slightly skinnier than other saddles to ensure good leg movement and don't feel like your legs are going behind you. Saddles could take 30-35 days to arrive.

Recommended front wheel upgrade?
sfdownhill posted a question in Modification QuestionsGentlemen, What lighter weight front wheel would you recommend to replace my current stock 5th/6th gen front wheel? On my 2001 5th gen, I have DMr F4i forks, RC51 SP2 calipers, and stock 5th/6th gen front wheel/rotors. I have no problem with this setup - I love it. I am shopping for a second set of wheels, so for the second set, I'm looking for a front wheel option that weighs less than the stock wheel I'm currently using. My budget is $400 for a front wheel and front rotors ($400 does not include bearings, dust seals, custom spacers etc, which are separate budget items). Donor candidates for a lighter front wheel could be CBR600RR, CBR600F4 (1999-2000), CBR929/954RR, CBR1000RR, Ducati 848/1098, or any other workable solution. I feel certain the front brake rotor diameter/offset/width, axle diameter, and axle spacer data I seek is on our website in easy-to-extract spreadsheet form, but I have failed to unearth it. This thread seemed perfect, but no longer functions: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/48657-cbr600-f3-f4-wheels/ After 2 solid hours of searching forums and threads, I am now asking outright. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The Wardrobe: Inspired by Ulyana Sergeenko
Hey loves! Last Wednesday I posted about the gorgoeus Ulyana Sergeenko who's one of my personal style icons and my biggest inspiration lately. Her influence is more than obvious in this outfit I wore on one of the first sunny Spring days we got around here. I just love the feminine silhouette, the retro vibe and the flirtatious, playful spark!

Three of the most common types of memory foam mattresses include standard or traditional, gel-infused, and plant-based. Each type has its own set of unique pros and cons. Deciding on a type of memory foam is a matter of personal taste.Continue Reading
Traditional memory foam is typically made with a petroleum-based polyurethane, so the chemicals and possible off-gassing may be a concern. It contours to the user's body, distributing weight uniformly and relieving pressure points, and is thought to be beneficial for circulation.
Memory foam mattresses also reduce sleep disruption caused by a partner's tossing and turning because their movements are absorbed. A major detriment of the traditional type is that it retains heat. Traditional memory foam can also be expensive, although prices greatly vary depending on quality and name brand.
Gel mattresses are typically standard foam mattresses that have been injected with the same kind of gel that is used in shoe sole inserts. The gel beads are meant to draw the heat away from the user, but newer studies suggest that this might not be a valid claim because gel tends to absorb neighboring temperatures. Gel mattresses are also more durable than traditional, and some feel that they are even better at lessening pressure.
Plant-based memory foam mattresses are more environmentally friendly and give off few, if any, emissions. Since they do not yield due to body heat like the other options, their response and recovery times are both faster. This type of memory foam mattress is harder to find than the other varieties and is not always accessible locally.Learn more about Beds & Mattresses

CoreMatrix Penetrates Deeper into Travel and Hospitality Market with Cloud Solutions
Company publishes eBrief examining the travel and hospitality industry trend of migrating to cloud computing
Red Bank, N.J., March 03, 2013 – CoreMatrix®, a leading cloud computing consulting company, today announced that its customer base of travel and hospitality companies continues to grow as the industry adopts cloud solutions at a faster rate.
While many industries have rapidly embraced the cloud, travel and hospitality is only recently experiencing broader cloud adoption. Many major hotel groups and travel companies, who were early adopters of information technology, still have legacy systems for reservations and other operations. Many are now moving to the cloud to take advantage of more efficient distributed computing services, lower infrastructure costs, and built-in toolsets for building and connecting applications.
Co-founder of CoreMatrix, Paul Nix, said that consumer behavior is also motivating travel and hospitality companies to adopt cloud computing.
"Consumers are searching for travel deals, as well as sharing their travel experiences and recommendations over social networks. Cloud computing offers travel and hospitality companies an opportunity to better engage with consumers to meet their needs, and to gain a competitive advantage in their industry," said Co-founder of CoreMatrix, Paul Nix. He pointed out that some reservation and booking apps run right inside Facebook, and that travel and hospitality companies are turning to cloud solutions to create a more dynamic and satisfying customer experience.
CoreMatrix recently published an eBrief, "Travel and Hospitality Industry Reaches for the Cloud," that further examines why travel and hospitality companies are moving to the cloud, and the advantages they are gaining. Click here (http://www2.corematrix.com/travel) to read the CoreMatrix eBrief.

This body-positive Instagram is celebrating plus-size travelers and their adventures
It often feels as if the travel-blogging world is dominated by ultra-thin women.
But it's not just women who fit into a Zara small who are going on Instagram-worthy journeys around the world — far from it.
Which is why stylist and body-positive campaigner Annette Richmond has set up an Instagram account to show the world that fat travelers not only exist but are going on some of the most incredible trips of all.
To date, more than 900 women are members of the group she created Fat Girls Traveling.
"A self-proclaimed Fat Girl, I'm a staunch supporter of the Body Positive Movement," Richmond writes on her blog From Annette With Love.
"Traveling is my newest obsession. I've visited 14 countries in the last two years.
"I've always wanted to see the world and until recently, I didn't think that was possible. In October of 2017, I will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime! I'll be traveling through Asia for a year studying culture, fashion, and beauty.
"I am a voice for Fat Travelers."

LATROBE, Pa. — Alameda Ta'amu's second chance began with a daily knock on the door.
Nearly every morning during the offseason, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward would stop by the nose tackle's house. Together, Heyward and the former University of Washington star would drive to the team's facility and go through a series of cardiovascular exercises.
Hard enough when you're in shape. Even harder when you're a 22-year-old, 372-pound manchild trying to show the kind of discipline you lacked during a disastrous rookie season that nearly ended your professional career before it even began.
Ta'amu is mature enough to talk about it now, eager to put the night he sent police on a dangerous chase behind him. The chaotic pursuit ended with Ta'amu in handcuffs.
The Steelers cut him a couple of weeks later and re-signed him to the practice squad. He eventually received probation and a vote of
confidence from coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert, who told him he hadn't lost the trust of the franchise that selected Ta'amu in the fourth round of the 2012 draft.
What Ta'amu really needed was a friend. He found one in Heyward, who wouldn't give Ta'amu a chance to say no.
"I was just trying to help," the son of late NFL running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward said. "I always tried to talk to him and be straightforward with him."
Perhaps more importantly, Ta'amu was ready to listen. Embarrassed by his behavior and well aware he was down to his last chance, Ta'amu responded by taking his job seriously. He cut more than 20 pounds off his 6-foot-3 frame to try to become an effective player in the middle of Pittsburgh's 3-4 defense.
Heyward helped show Ta'amu how to get in shape, how to use his hands for leverage and how to play to the whistle instead of stopping the second the play is past you.
The evidence of Ta'amu's transformation became evident in Pittsburgh's 18-13 loss to the New York Giants in an exhibition opener on Saturday. He played 20 snaps, made two tackles and showed the kind of technical proficiency that was foreign to him a year ago.
"I definitely thought he was physical," Heyward said. "He ran to the ball a lot better. He's just got to keep working on technique and hand placement. Overall I thought his effort was really good and he was ready for it."
He wasn't ready a year ago, on the field or off.
Ta'amu, a member of The News Tribune's Northwest Nuggets in 2008 as a senior at Rainier Beach High, was out of shape during his first training camp and then nearly sabotaged his entire career in the early morning hours of Oct. 14.
Ta'amu was driving the wrong way down a one-way street when police attempted to stop him. Instead, he fled, crashing into four cars, injuring a woman in a parked SUV before being taken into custody.
He pleaded guilty to charges of reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and driving under the influence.
While at UW, Ta'amu was arrested during a December 2009 incident and later pleaded guilty to negligent driving.
The Steelers are searching for someone to replace departed five-time Pro Bowl player Casey Hampton. Steve McLendon appears to have worked his way into a starter's role while Ta'amu and Al Woods are battling for playing time.
"Casey always told me … you start doing good things and everybody will forget what happened in the past," Ta'amu said. "I'm just trying to stay under the radar."
Ta'amu knows if there's one more lapse in judgment, he's done in Pittsburgh and perhaps in the NFL.
"Everybody makes mistakes," Ta'amu said. "They gave me a second chance to go out there and show what I can do. I'm going to try and make the most of it."

Chances are that if you have been a regular visitor to CrackBerry over the years you would have seen us feature TubeMap which is a super application for the London Underground. The app has been available on the PlayBook as well as older BlackBerry smartphones and now BlackBerry 10.
While I was perusing BlackBerry World recently I stumbled upon some more maps from mxDATA which all look to be just as good as the London one and have great functionality.
The ones I checked out Chicago L, Barcelona Metro, Berlin Subway, Toronto Subway, Madrid Metro, Washington Metro, New York Subway and Paris Metro
If you are in any of these cities and have picked up a BlackBerry 10 smartphone I would highly recommend checking them out in BlackBerry World. All are free to download and as well as offering just the maps you can also plan routes - which will tell you the journey time and how many stations you will pass through. It doesn't get much better than that.

MP3 reading and writing
These function, mp3read and mp3write, aim to exactly duplicate the operation of wavread and wavwrite for accessing soundfiles, except the soundfiles are in Mpeg-Audio layer 3 (MP3) compressed format. All the hard work is done by external binaries written by others: mp3info to query the format of existing mp3 files, mpg123 to decode mp3 files, and lame to encode audio files. Binaries for these files are widely available (and may be included in this distribution).
These functions were originally developed for access to very large mp3 files (i.e. many hours long), and so avoid creating the entire uncompressed audio stream if possible. mp3read allows you to specify the range of frames you want to read (as a second argument), and mp3read will construct an mpg123 command that skips blocks to decode only the part of the file that is required. This can be much quicker (and require less memory/temporary disk) than decoding the whole file.
mpg123 also provides for "on the fly" downsampling at conversion to mono, which are supported as extra options in mp3read.
For more information, including advice on handling MP4 files, see http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/matlab/mp3read.html
Example usage
Here, we read a wav file in, then write it out as an MP3, then read the resulting MP3 back in, and compare it to the original file.
% Read an audio waveform [d,sr] = wavread('piano.wav'); % Save to mp3 (default settings) mp3write(d,sr,'piano.mp3'); % Read it back again [d2,sr] = mp3read('piano.mp3'); % mp3 encoding involves some extra padding at each end; we attempt % to cut it off at the start, but can't do that at the end, because % mp3read doesn't know how long the original was. But we do, so.. % Chop it down to be the same length as the original d2 = d2(1:length(d),:); % What is the SNR (distortion)? ddiff = d - d2; disp(['SNR is ',num2str(10*log10(sum(d(:).^2)/sum(ddiff(:).^2))),' dB']); % Do they look similar? subplot(211) specgram(d(:,1),1024,sr); subplot(212) plot(1:5000,d(10000+(1:5000),1),1:5000,d2(10000+(1:5000))); % Yes, pretty close % % NB: lame followed by mpg123 causes a little attenuation; you % can get a better match by scaling up the read-back waveform: ddiff = d - 1.052*d2; disp(['SNR is ',num2str(10*log10(sum(d(:).^2)/sum(ddiff(:).^2))),' dB']);
SNR is 21.9693 dB SNR is 24.0399 dB
External binaries
The m files rely on three external binaries, each of which is available for Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows:
mpg123 is a high-performance mp3 decoder. Its home page is http://www.mpg123.de/ .
mp3info is a utility to read technical information on an mp3 file. Its home page is http://www.ibiblio.org/mp3info/ .
lame is an open-source MP3 encoder. Its homepage is http://lame.sourceforge.net/ .
The various authors of these packages are gratefully acknowledged for doing all the hard work to make these Matlab functions possible.
The two routines, mp3read.m and mp3write.m, will look for their binaries (mpg123 and mp3info for mp3read; lame for mp3write) in the same directory where they are installed. Binaries for different architectures are distinguished by their extension, which is the standard Matlab computer code e.g. ".mac" for Mac PPC OS X, ".glnx86" for i386-linux. The exception is Windows, where the binaries have the extension ".exe".
Temporary files will be written to (a) a directory taken from the environment variable TMPDIR (b) /tmp if it exists, or (c) the current directory. This can easily be changed by editing the m files.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Site says you are waiting on my reply, I cant see any question? sorry
I want to be released from the mortgage as soon as possible. Does the change in circumstances ie: moving his girlfriend and her family in and her having her own home, have any impact on my case should I return to court?
Even the court cannot order a lender to remove you from the mortgage. Youcan be removed from the deeds by court order.
He was ordered to use "best endeavours" and you can drag him back to courtto ask him to prove to the court what endeavours he has made to either removeyou from the mortgage or to remortgage with another lender.
If his income is not consistent with his lifestyle than you might suggestto him that this is something that the Inland Revenue might be interested in, ifhe does not get his backside into gear and get a mortgage or remove you.
There is no reason why you cannot have a mortgage in addition to this oneprovided you let the new lender have details of the court order. In thatrespect, I suggest you contact an independent mortgage broker rather than walkthrough the door of a high Street lender who is likely to just say you don'tfit the criteria without even investigating.
Moving his girlfriend in simply means that he potentially has anotherincome that would supplement his with regard to applying either for anothermortgage in their joint names or removing you and putting her on. However, hecannot be made to put her on and she cannot be made to go on it.
As he has moved his girlfriend in there is a possibility that she can putpressure on him because she really will not like the house still being in jointnames with you
I appreciate that this is not the answer you wanted but there is no point inme misleading you.
Can I help further?
Please bear with me today because I am online and off-line. Please don'tforget to positively rate my answer service (even if it was not what you wantto hear). If you don't rate it positively, then the site keep your deposit andI get 0 for my time. It is imperative that you give my answer a positiverating. It doesn't give me "a pat on the head", "good boy" (like ebay), it ismy livelihood!If in ratings you feel that you expected more or it only helped a little,please ask.
My colleague gives useful advice, unfortunately, if his income isn't sufficient for mortgage purposes, it isn't sufficient! and it doesn't matter what endeavours he uses or who lives with him, he will not get that mortgage.
It comes down to him actually submitting applications to lenders and showing he was turned down

Is our Internet future in danger?
Broadband cable providers are also trying to open the pipe. A technology called wideband, whereby cable operators bond several channels together to increase Internet-access speeds, is gaining momentum. This technique can provide speeds of 150Mbps.
But such large investments have been slow in coming, mainly because Wall Street dislikes them. Every dollar on capital improvements reduces carriers' profits, and investors tend to punish capital investments by reducing carriers' stock prices, notes the Free Press's Turner. Because most broadband providers have little or no competition, he says, the Wall Street pressure usually prevails.
Here come usage caps, overage charges, and metered Internet
Despite the distaste for capital investment, carriers have begun investing in it. A big reason is that with the high availability of broadband in urban and suburban areas, there aren't enough profitable new customers left to reach.
Carriers can't raise prices for their current service levels -- current prices are already too high to attract the broadband holdouts. But the carriers also can't lower their prices to attract those customers, since that would reduce their income as existing customers trade down to lower-priced plans, says Gartner's Jopling. "For the foreseeable future, there is a limit on how pricing may increase or decrease. We will only get much lower prices if every home has fiber to it," because that would make capacity essentially unlimited.
That leaves two options: offering premium-priced high-capacity services (a form of tiered pricing) and charging based on usage. Carriers are experimenting with both to bring in more dollars.
Usage caps are the stealth form of usage-based pricing, though several lawsuits have forced U.S. carriers to stop being secretive about them. For example, Comcast agreed this summer to pay Florida $150,000 in a settlement over Comcast's policy of prohibiting excessive use of bandwidth without informing customers of limits. Some customers had their service cut off. In October, Comcast started its new policy, which limits the amount of data a subscriber can send and receive every month at 250GB. Violators will have their service suspended for a year.
Now, Time Warner Cable is testing metered-usage pricing. New broadband subscribers in Beaumont, Texas, are the test case. Pricing starts at $29.95 a month for a speed of 768Kbps and a 5GB usage cap, and it goes up to $54.90 for 15Mbps speed and a 40GB cap. It costs $1 for every gigabyte of usage over the cap. Subscribers can check their usage on Time Warner Cable's Web page. AT&T is testing a similar plan in Reno; the basic $15 768Kbps plan has a 20GB-per-month usage cap, while the as-yet-unpriced 10Mbps plan has a 150GB-per-month usage cap. Users pay $1 per extra gigabyte used, and can check their usage at AT&T's Web site.

A cow or a kitchen? Can you figure it out in just a few?
To play this guessing game, you need at least 2 people, a stopwatch (or watch that can time seconds,) tape, index cards, and pens.
Each player writes either an animal or a place on a card and tapes it to the back of another player without letting that person see what's on the card, so each player has one card stuck to her back.
Stand in a circle and then pick somebody to step in the middle to guess what's on his card.
Tell the guesser if his card is a place or an animal.
The guesser has 30 seconds to ask as many yes or no questions he can about the place or animal on his card.
After the time is up, the guesser gets two guesses.
Then it's the next person's turn to guess what's on her card. Go around until everyone has had a chance to guess.

New Centrify Suite 2013 Uniquely Helps Organizations Meet Compliance Requirements and Reduce Costs for the Broadest Set of Cloud and On-Premise Platforms
New Centrify Suite 2013 Uniquely Helps Organizations Meet Compliance Requirements and Reduce Costs for the Broadest Set of Cloud and On-Premise Platforms
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Centrify Corporation, the leader in Unified Identity Services across data center, cloud and mobile, today announced the general availability of the latest version of the Centrify Suite security and compliance solution in use today by more than 4,500 organizations worldwide. Featuring new advanced privileged user management and auditing for Windows systems, as well as new "sudo" migration tools for Linux systems, Centrify Suite 2013 enables organizations to quickly and effectively meet compliance requirements, mitigate risks from internal threats, and reduce operational costs across the broadest set of cross-platform systems deployed on-premise and in the cloud.
In today's heterogeneous IT environments, achieving security best practices and compliance by linking access privileges and actions to named users is a complex task. Managing user privileges for Windows, UNIX and Linux systems can be difficult to implement since identities and privileges often reside in disparate silos or are managed locally system by system. Point solutions exist for privilege management of Windows systems or UNIX and Linux systems, but no solutions exist that span across both Windows and UNIX/Linux that utilize a unified architecture leveraging existing directory infrastructure. Centrify Suite 2013 offers a comprehensive approach to identity management that includes integrated authentication, access control, privilege management, policy enforcement and compliance -- all based on a single, unified architecture that leverages Microsoft Active Directory. This eliminates the need for IT staff to install, configure and manage multiple single-purpose products from a collection of other vendors.
According to Gartner, "...there is a need for the organization to have more granular control over and visibility into the way that these privileges are granted and used. Super User Privilege Management (SUPM) tools offer a flexible method for granting and/or limiting these privileges in a way that matches the organization's needs." 1
Windows Privileged Management
Centrify Suite 2013 now includes DirectAuthorize for Windows, a new integrated solution that eliminates problems associated with too many users having broad and unmanaged administrative powers by delivering secure delegation of privileged access and granularly enforcing who can perform what administrative functions. Key features of DirectAuthorize for Windows include:
Enhanced Privilege Management for UNIX and Linux
In addition to the new Windows privilege management capabilities, Centrify Suite 2013 builds on its core capabilities to further empower organizations to easily migrate and manage identities and secure privileged user access across UNIX and Linux systems. New Linux- and UNIX-specific functionalities now available in Suite 2013 include:
"Centrify Suite 2013 raises the bar in delivering enhanced functionality for organizations to secure their systems and protect their resources across cloud and on-premise environments, including Windows least-privilege access management," said Matt Hur, Centrify senior director of product management. "With Centrify, organizations take advantage of their existing Microsoft Active Directory investments across the industry's broadest set of platforms in heterogeneous environments to centralize disparate identities and control privileged access for improved security and compliance."
Pricing and Availability
Centrify Suite 2013 is available today from Centrify and authorized partners worldwide. The Centrify Suite is licensed on a per server basis and starts at $385 per server and $65 per workstation.

52 exploration licences for offshore oil and gas exploration have been awarded by the UK government in the last round of tenders.
The licences, announced on Friday, form the last part of the UK government's 27th offshore round. All together 219 licences have been granted in a bid to secure the UK's energy resources before old infrastructure is decommissioned.
"It is vital that we maximise the opportunities available both in the North Sea and onshore to boost growth, energy security and jobs," said Britain's Energy Minister, Michael Fallon.
Among the companies awarded the licences were 21 new entrants to the market, mostly smaller and independent enterprises.
Britain's fossil fuel reserves are declining quickly and the focus has been shifted to linking new oil and gas fields to existing infrastructure rather than building new facilities.
Some new prospects can only be developed economically if they can draw on pipelines and platforms that are already in place but the established operators that run these are beginning to plan to shut them down.
The government estimates that around 20 billion barrels of oil and gas can still be retrieved from the British North Sea. It plans to launch its next offshore licencing round in January.
Next year, Britain will also hold its 14th tender for onshore oil and gas permits, a round that is expected to attract high demand due to growing interest in shale gas exploration.
The round has been delayed by around four years after the licensing process was suspended following earth tremors caused by shale gas exploration, or fracking, in Lancashire, northwest England.

In Kanye West's new video that he created for his song "Famous," a Taylor Swift lookalike is shown in bed with the rapper. This is accompanied by sexist lyrics that discuss how West and Swift should have sex because in West's view, he made Swift famous. Swift is right to be outraged by this video because it assumes West has a right to her body. She should definitely sue him for defamation.
Taylor Swift has always painted the idealistic 'girl next door' image of herself, however recent events regarding the Kardashian-West family has revealed that the only 'character assassination' happening is that of West by Swift herself. The recent video footage debuted on Sunday 17th July showed Taylor Swift to be in full knowledge of the song's 'defamatory' lyrics which she seemed to find funny and acceptable. While she was not made aware of the fact that she would be referred to as 'that bitch', she really should have seen being referred to as a bitch as a possibility in a rap song where the lyrics she approved on camera included the racial slur 'n****'
Taylor Swift does not need to sue Kanye West about anything. Everyone knows that West is a jerk, but there is really no such thing as bad publicity. Every stunt that Kanye pulls just gives Taylor more attention, which results in more fans and more album sales for the star.
I think Kanye is a shrewd buffoon in the sense that he uses his words to maximize publicity. If Taylor Swift were to sue him, he would just twist that and turn into his advantage. The best thing to do is to ignore him. If everyone ignores him long enough, he will just fade away like past music stars.

You'll Give Up On Yoga Immediately After Watching This Video
Yoga is not as easy as it looks. However, this kind of yoga is exactly as easy as it looks... that is to say it is damn near impossible.
Arthur Cadre is one heck of a dancer.
Apparently, though, the talented young man can do more than just dance: he is also a master of yoga poses that will make your body hurt.
We know you think you are a yoga master because you've been going to that yoga studio down the street twice a week, but please pause for a moment while lilcrabe gives you a lesson in tandem yoga -- which we're hoping quickly becomes the next big thing.
Check out the video above and let us know in the comments if you can pull off any of these moves.

Progress reports are a frequently used and very useful device for staying on top of a long term project. Progress reports are simply put brief reports summarizing the progress you have made on a project to date including an outline of any problems you may have encountered as well as plans for the next work period. If your advisor doesn't require you to submit progress reports, you might consider doing this on your own.
They have benefits for all involved:
There really is no standard format for progress reports. However, given that the peer-reviewed technical journal article is generally viewed as a standard medium for written communication in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, if your advisor doesn't provide you with any specific format requirements, the format for a technical article might be a useful format to adopt in preparing your progress report. Another useful format for progress reports is that of the standard business memo.

Even on my greatest triumphs... I emerge dusty and victorious from the writing lair, gripping tightly to a short work of fiction that truly is short, and holding it aloft with the pride of a jungle warrior brandishing proof of bravery and competence amongst the tribe...
I give it to readers... and they A) tell me "this is not a short story, this is clearly an exert." (Crumpling defeat, I retreat to my lair and glare at offending short, which is not somehow "completely
|Sci-fi on Pinterest
...or... B) "I loved it! Where's the rest of it? I want it to go on!!!"
The truth is, I sometimes feel a little trapped by long fiction. I write long all the time, it's in my blood and bones, (it would seem) and I can't escape it.
But sometimes I just want to dabble a little in a brand new sparkly world, and I want that dabble to last no longer than perhaps a day or two.
And then I want to return to the lengthy behemoths that are consuming my weeks, months and years.
(Because I truly do want to finish them!!!!)
So I dash off a small handful of scenes that illustrate a glimpse of a scene or a plot-line, a pivotal moment in a character arc, or a unique event. And then readers go "We Want To Read More About This!!!"
And I feel a little trapped by that! Because I want readers to be happy, I want to let their feedback guide me toward my best work that will resonate on a deep level..
and yet, I can't go in all the directions I feel I'm being pulled.
Absolutely honestly, if enough readers clamored for a certain story to be developed more and explored... I would probably do it.
Because I want to resonate with people!!! That is why I write! :-)
But sometimes I'm not sure how to respond when people say things like that... should I ignore the urge to open those boxes back up? I'd dipped in already, and been happy to shut the lid again... but does that mean that I'm consigning a brilliant-potential-series back into the dust and cobwebs of never existing?
Am I denying the bright light reflected back from reading eyes, which is supposed to lead me on to my greatest summits of authorly creation?
And if I turn away from this sort of feedback, am I being a "selfish, self-absorbed author" who only "writes for themselves?"
(P.S. I'm not earning NEARLY enough to be writing for anyone else, at this point, but still... ;-) )
So, tell me what you think!!!
Also, if you read the Second Impressions anthology, part of the Vintage Jane Austen, let me know what you think of the story "The Mansfield"? I've had reports that story deserves to be expanded.... the idea is tantalizing, but what do you think?

Professionals seek FRC accreditation
The Association of Corporate Governance Professionals of Nigeria (ACGPN) has asked the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) to recognise its training certificates and accredit its members to enable them to sign financial statements.
Speaking during a courtesy call of ACGPN to FRC corporate headquarters in Lagos, the Chairman of the Association, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, also demanded that the FRC recognises the Association's training for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) directors, which according to him, would help them to demonstrate effective leadership characterised by ethical values of responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency.
Responding to their demands, the Chief Executive Officer of the FRC, Daniel Asakpohai, assured them that the council would look into their demands and act in due course.
He also hinted them on the desire of the Council to collaborate with professional and corporate bodies to carry out several researches in areas of financial reporting.
Ohuabunwa thanked the council for the opportunity to visit and pledged the association's readiness to work with the FRC to promote good corporate governance in the country.
Among the delegation of ACGPN were Mosaku- Johnson; Wuyi Ogunyinka; Adedyinka Hassan, Dorcas James and Nicholas Ikhane, while the FRC was represented by Iheanyi Anyahara; Abubakar Ibrahim; Nelson Anumaka and Titus Osawe.

The Good Doctor, Part II, Chapter 6
I was at work behind the check-in counter at the gym when Suzy leaned over and whispered to me. "Did you see your friend and that jerk come in here earlier?" With Suzy, the lesbian possibility factor had zoomed steadily upwards to something like ninety percent. When she first started here her hair was perky but normal length… it seems like it's gotten shorter every week, to the point that now her hair is shorter than mine, and her right eyebrow has acquired a piercing that I'm pretty sure wasn't there before.
When Suzy says 'friend', she always means Rose. Rose has never mentioned what happened at that political dinner, but she's been looking tense, which is unusual for her. Rose is not someone to leave things unsaid. The jerk, of course, was Chester.
"No, I didn't. Problem?"
"They weren't talking, but they looked like they wanted to kill each other. And besides, normally that woman is always talking." Well, that was certainly true. Rose is someone who likes to have everyone know what she's thinking.
"Where is she now?"
She rolled her eyes. "Treadmill with her girlfriends." The fact was that even though Rose never said anything more about the dinner. I figured that it'd had to be bugging her and if she needed to yell at me….well, it wouldn't be the first time.
Rose has three or four 'girlfriends', all of them loaded, all of them old, and all of them almost always unbelievably horny. It's hard for men to really understand women and their girl friends, because those relationships are nothing like their male counterparts.
Women often treat their friends in ways that would make men cringe. For men, watching women friends interact is often like watching some kid go flying over the handlebars of his bike and face planting on the pavement. I mean, even if you didn't like the guy, it goes right to your guts and there's a voice inside your head screaming, "Oh shit! No! Nooo!!!"
I inhaled and let it out slowly. "Okay, I'm gonna go over to the snack bar and have a cup of coffee. She can see me there from the treadmills, if she's still pissed at me she can come over and yell."
Suzy leaned against the counter. "Why should she be pissed, her boyfriend is the one who grabbed your ass." No, I didn't make any kind of a public announcement about what happened, but word was leaking out – and fortunately inaccurately.
"Ahhh, actually, I grabbed his butt, but the whole thing was a mistake. He wasn't supposed to be where he was and he was the one who grabbed Mark's butt first." Suzy was looking at me like I was crazy.
She shook her head slowly and said, "What the hell do you do at night?"
I glared at her. "Just go back to work."
I grabbed a catalog that had just come in from LL Bean, trudged over to the snack bar and poured myself a cup of coffee. The treadmills were right across the hallway behind a glass wall. I glanced up quickly and the words 'thundering herd' flashed through my brain. I did catch a glimpse of Rose tread milling next to Maddie Albright, who seemed to be dominating the conversation. Rumor had it that Maddie had just gotten back from New York with a spiffy new hairdo and the lingering memory of an encounter with an over-the-hill male model. Rose looked like she could kill her, but I dug into the LL Bean catalog and pretended I didn't know they existed.
Five minutes later, the chair on the other side of the table was pulled out, Rose tossed her carry-all bag onto the table, and plopped into the chair. The bag landed with a clank. God only knew what was in there, and why the hell do old women need bags full of shit when they're walking on a treadmill?
"Eric, quit trying to pretend you're interested in LL Bean. You have about as much interest in new clothing as bears in the woods."
I glanced up. "It's all about the men, Rose. Check this guy out. He kinda looks like Pete." I turned the catalog, so she could see the male model.
"Hmmm… older than Pete, but very nice."
I looked across the way at the remaining tread millers. "Word has it that Maddie Albright has a new do." I was trying to bait her into unloading on me, so it'd be over with, but she didn't seem mad at all, just distracted.
"Yeah, she looks nice… well, for her." That was it? She should be gutting Maddie Albright!
"Okay, Rose! Cut the crap and just tell me what a slug I am for the shit at the dinner."
She inhaled deeply and leaned forward. "Actually…"
But before she had a chance to finish that sentence, Chester came striding towards us, practically yelling, "C'mon, Rose! We've gotta get going! I don't have time to hang around here all morning!"
She turned and stared at him for a moment, then coldly said, "I told you, I don't give a damn whether you stay here or not, but I am staying!"
"Don't be silly, Rose! You're coming with me!" He tried to grab her arm, but she shook it off.
"Get your hands off me."
"Rose, you're coming with me!"
I looked up at him and said maybe a little too loudly, "The lady said she doesn't want to go!"
He turned on me. "Just mind your own damned business! You're to blame for all of this anyway!"
I sighed and stood up. "You want me to call you a cab?" The last thing I wanted was to be involved in an oldster throw-down.
Rose said, "Yeah, Eric, call him a cab, because he's not riding in my car - he's not doing anything with me anymore!"
"I'll call the cab."
I started to walk towards the front desk, so I could call the Rev a taxi when I heard a yelp behind me and turned in time to see Chester grab Rose's arm and jerk her to her feet.
"Goddamnit, Rose, I told you, you're coming with me!"
She tried to twist her arm out of Chester's hand and yelled, "Eric, help me!"
I did the only thing I could think of, I threw myself on Chester's back and wrapped my arms around his neck. Which I guess should have meant I was winning, but Chester is a really big guy and it tended more to irritate him than anything else. He roared like a bull and started twisting and turning wildly trying to throw me off his back.
Rose was yelling, "Hold him still, Eric!"
"What?" I didn't know what the hell she was talking about, because my face was buried in the back of Chester's neck and I was basically trying to hang on for dear life.
"Hold him still!" What the hell did she think she was gonna do?
I yelled, "Call the fucking cops, Rose!"
I tightened my grip on his neck, then looked over his shoulder to try and see what Rose was doing. She had just pulled something out of her handbag and as my head came up over Chester's shoulder, she yelled again, "Hold him steady, Eric!" Chester was trying to pry my arms off of his neck.
My mouth had just opened when the first blast of pepper spray hit us. I can't remember if I let go of Chester, or if I fell off when we hit the floor, but it was the worst pain I could ever remember feeling. It was like somebody tossed a bucket of lit gasoline in my face and then kicked me in the stomach.
The next thirty minutes were spent screaming and retching. But at least the last twenty minutes of it were spent on the floor in my office without being the center of attention.
A handsome young EMT, Howard, was smoothing aloe gel on my face and neck. Oddly, he was also softly humming a melodic tune of some sort and eventually, when his fingertips lifted from my face, he sighed and said, "You should be fine now, Mr. Cortland. It's gonna feel like you got the worst sunburn ever on your face, but it'll get better pretty quick. It's a good thing you were able to get in the shower right away. Maybe the best thing would be to go home and rest, but be sure to keep rinsing your eyes. My stomach was still quivering like maybe I was gonna toss my cookies again. "You can take the rest of this aloe gel with you."
I finally gasped out, "What happened to the other guy?" I could still barely breathe through my nose.
"Ah, I'm pretty sure the police took Mr. Johnson with them."
There was a soft knock on the door and Suzy poked her head in. "Anything I can do, boss?"
"Ahhh," I looked down at myself. I was bare chested and my pants were wet from the shower. "Get me a sweatshirt from the Pro Shop, would you." Suzy had dragged me to the shower and tossed me in, clothes and all.
"Right away!"
"Oh, and Suzy you'd better call somebody to come in and get rid of that smell. We can't have the place smelling like that."
"They're already on the way. They've got like an emergency service."
"Is Rose okay?"
"Yeah, she left with the cops when they took the asshole."
I pushed myself up and leaned against the wall. "I'm gonna go home. If Pete calls or anything, there's no reason to mention this. I mean, I'll tell him tonight, but I don't want him all freaked out when there's really nothing more he can do." I also didn't want Jase freaked out. I was hoping to get home before everyone else and get myself cleaned up.
She said, "Are you sure you can drive? I mean, you're not gonna upchuck again, are ya?"
I shuddered and said, "I think I'm okay."
The tone must not have satisfied her, because she asked Howard, "He okay to drive?"
Howard nodded. "He doesn't live far and as long as he feels okay. It's not like that stuff is fatal or anything. Well… not usually."
Suzy said, "I'd drive you home, but we've got no one else here to run the place."
I said, "How bad do I look?"
Howard's mouth was open slightly and he was staring at me. He whispered, "I think you look fantastic!"
Suzy got a weird look on her face, did a double take on Howard, shook her head and said, "Boss, you look like shit."
Howard made a soft choking sound, blushed and said, "Well, you know, considering what you've been through you look good." He looked at the floor, then at Suzy and then at me and said, "I guess I'd better get going."
Our town has one main intersection, well, only one that amounts to anything. It's at the corner of Main Street and Elm Street where two four lane roads intersect, and since one is a state highway you can have up to eight cars waiting for the lights to change or taking off after they do.
And there I sat with my hair wet, my pants wet, sweating, my stomach quivering, my nose running from that damn pepper spray. And yet, even with all that, when I looked across the intersection at a blue Ford I knew that there was a problem beyond all the shit that had just happened to me.
She was a long way away, but the woman in the Ford was shoving something into her mouth and eating like there was no tomorrow, really cramming it in… like in a frenzy. Then when the light changed, she tried to turn right, which you can't do from the middle lane and I could sense telepathically every man sitting at that intersection thinking the same thing 'What…the…fuck'?
The car to her right started to move forward just as she turned and crashed into him. It was a glancing blow and she just kept on going. She didn't even look at the guy, just kept shoveling more stuff into her mouth. She dragged his car a few feet, then broke away, did a left turn in the middle of the intersection and headed for me. The only thing I had time to think was 'Well, this is just fucking perfect'!
I braced myself just before she slammed into the left front corner of my car, which set off the air bag… which hurts one hell of a lot more than you might expect, because it not only slaps you really hard in the face, but it also burns your hands and fills the passenger compartment with white dust.
The air bag deflated just in time for me to see the crazy woman driving the Ford cram something else into her mouth while she turned the wheel hard left again and headed back to where she had started from. Meanwhile, the other drivers were all going nuts trying to get the hell out of there, some were trying to back up and some were trying to cut across the intersection. She didn't hit anyone else - she just made a broad left turn and headed back to me.
This time, she grazed the front of my car just hard enough to spin me a bit, then she stopped. She was slumped over her steering wheel and the only thing I could think of was that she must have had a stroke or something, because what the hell else would account for what she had just done. I figured she needed help and after the morning I'd just had, I knew what that felt like.
I pushed open my door, pulled my bruised body upright by the door frame, and stumbled over to her car. Her head was resting on the steering wheel and the front seat was covered in empty Baby Ruth candy bar wrappers.
I pulled open the door to her car and yelled, "Lady, are you okay?"
She turned her head to me slowly and with tear stained eyes and a desperate wail to her voice, screamed, "My husband says I look fat!"
I guess that was when I passed out. I woke up in the ambulance just as we were nearing the hospital. Howard was in the back with me and his partner was driving. Howard was holding my hand, which for some reason didn't seem weird, then we were pulling into the hospital. At least, that's what it sounded like to me, the siren got turned off and I could hear a lot of doctor talk. I didn't open my eyes, because I figured with the kind of day I'd been having there wasn't much percentage in it, and if there was more shit headed my way… well, I just didn't want to see it coming. So when someone asked me to open my eyes, I just said, "No."
But then there was Pete's warm deep voice saying, "Eric, open your eyes."
I shook my head slightly and mumbled, "I don'wanna."
Then Pete said to someone, "It's okay, Doctor Bowman, I'll get this."
A moment later, Pete's voice was soft and next to my ear. "Howard said you were hot."
My eyes popped open. "He said that?"
Pete's fingers gently pushed my eyelids up as he smiled at me. Then he flashed one of those pointed doctor lights in my eyes. "He didn't say it to me. Actually, I'm not totally sure who he said it to, I just heard him say it to someone. It might have been his partner, because he was walking towards the ambulance. I guess he didn't know about us, so don't start thinking you've got options."
"He was the one who came to the club." Then it occurred to me that maybe Pete didn't know about that. "They told you about the club?"
He had put his light away and was listening to my chest with his stethoscope. He nodded. "Rose was here, but she's gone home now; and Chester, I assume, is with the police. You've had a busy day."
"Does my mother know?"
He laughed. "You're kidding, right?"
Of course, my mother knows everything. "Jase?"
"That's where your mom is. I told her if she can get Jase fed and settled in front of the TV we should be home by then. And while you'll never fool Jase into thinking nothing happened, at least you'll be at home with him and seeming mostly normal."
That last part worried me a little. I mean, what if all that crap that happened messed up my guts or something. "I am normal, right?"
Pete smiled, then bent and kissed my forehead. "Eric, you were never even close to normal, but you aren't permanently injured. You'll be fine."
"Pete, is that lady okay?"
"The one that hit you?" I nodded.
"They're checking her out in the psych ward. Like everybody, she's got shit happening in her life, but I think she'll be okay if she lets them help her."
"You know, it's weird, but I feel really bad for her."
Pete smiled at me, lightly touched my face with the tips of his fingers, then leaned down and whispered, "That almost earns you a prostate exam."
By the time we got home, I had been cleaned up as much as possible and Pete said that I looked okay. As soon as we parked, my mother came out of the house with a dishtowel in her hand and rushed over to me.
She touched my chest and said, "Thank God, you're okay. Don't worry about a thing, Eric, Morrie'll be here tomorrow."
"Morrie… my attorney."
"I need a lawyer?" I'm so naïve.
"Of course you need a lawyer! Your car! All the pain and suffering!" Why didn't I think of that?
Just then Jase came barreling out of the house and yelled, "Hi, Dad!"
Then he stopped suddenly and looked from me to Pete, then back to me and I saw it all in his eyes, but before he got a chance to think about it, I picked him up and said, "C'mon, kiddo, I gotta shower and you can pick out some clothes."
I was moving fast and I got as far as the kitchen before he said, "What happened? Where's the car? You look all messed up and you smell funny."
"I am messed up and I feel like crap. Somebody at the club sprayed pepper spray around and it got in my eyes and on my face." I sat him down on the counter in the bathroom, then I stripped down and got in the shower.
Jase poked his head in the shower and said, "What happened to the car?"
I was scrubbing my face and rinsed it off before looking down at him. "When I was driving home, I was at the intersection downtown and some lady hit it. How about getting me a pair of gym shorts and a tee shirt?"
"You were in a car crash?"
"I'm fine, Jase, just get the clothes."
He was back in a minute with a pair of black gym shorts and a black tee shirt. I got out of the shower, dried off, and slipped the clothes on.
I towel dried my hair, knelt down in front of him and stared into his eyes. "Stupid stuff happens, Jase, but I'm okay."
He looked at me for a moment, then little-boy hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Boy, do you make me nervous sometimes."
I laughed and kissed the side of his head. "Sometimes I make me nervous, too, Jase."
After dinner we ended up in the living room with Pete and me on the sofa and Jase watching TV… our usual positions. But the thing was Jase wasn't looking relaxed. Instead of lying on the floor in front of the TV, he was kneeling, and I knew a question had to be simmering. He hadn't said much about the events of the day, but he's a thinker, someone who mulls things over. Eventually he got up, reached back, dug his pants out of his butt, wiggled it to make sure everything was moving freely, then walked over and leaned against me.
I smiled at him and said, "You got everything working okay back there?"
"Huh?" Some things guys just do is on autopilot.
"Nothing. What's up?"
"How come Aunt Rose sprayed you with that stuff?" Rose isn't actually his aunt, but he's seen so much of her my mom started telling him she was 'Auntie Rose.'
"She didn't really spray it at me, Jase. She sprayed it at Chester - I just got in the way." This all gets soooo complicated and I see Pete's eyes appear above his newspaper.
Without seeming to have any awareness of it, Jase puts his hand on my stomach and pushes down. I grunt.
"But why did she do that?" How the hell do I explain that?
"Well, she thought Chester was a nice guy. Maybe she even thought that they might get married or something, but then she found out that he was really just a jerk..."
"So, that's why she sprayed him?" Pete's stocking clad toe touched the inside of my thigh just below my balls… a warning. Do I really want to explain that Chester physically hurt her?
"More or less. Once Rose figured out that Chester was a jerk, he got mad and was mean to her, so Rose got afraid he was gonna hurt her."
Jase said, "Oh," but I could tell that it wasn't enough, so I dragged him up on the sofa until he was lying on top of me with his nose practically touching mine and staring right into my eyes - our mind-meld position.
I said softly, "Okay, so what's bugging you?"
"It's just that if adults get picked on, what chance does anybody little like me have?" Actually, not a bad point.
I sighed heavily, because this was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
"Okay, remember I told you that somebody sprayed pepper spray in the club and it got in my eyes?" He nodded yes.
"Well, it didn't exactly happen that way."
Jase said, "You lied?" I wish he'd said it in a tone that implied that it rarely happened.
"Not lied, omitted." Pete cleared his throat.
Jase said, "That's still a lie."
I shook my head, "Omission. A lie is when you say something happened and it didn't, an omission is when you don't mention everything. Oh, and by the way, little boys are not allowed to omit anything when they're talking to their dads." Pete cleared his throat again.
"Anyway, what really happened was Chester grabbed Rose and hurt her arm, so she yelled for help. I threw myself on Chester's back and tried to make him stop. That was when Rose sprayed him, or rather us. She didn't mean to spray me, it just happened." Actually, the real lesson to be learned here is that no good deed goes unpunished, but I figured that was a lesson for another day.
Jase said, "You were gonna beat him up?"
"I dunno, Jase. I was just trying to get him to stop hurting Rose."
"But what if he had hurt you?"
"Sometimes, Jase, no matter how nice you are or how careful, assholes appear in your life. And when that happens, the first thing that we all think is that we should turn around and run like hell, but usually that doesn't work. I mean, sometimes it does, like if you're never gonna see that person again. But if it's someone you're gonna see all the time, then it doesn't work and you're better off just dealing with it. Believe me, when I was on Chester's back with my arms around his neck, you can bet that he was just wishing he had never laid eyes on me in the first place. And now that he's been pepper sprayed and arrested, you can absolutely bet on it"
"The thing is that you can't worry about it."
Jase stared into my eyes and then said slowly, "I gotta think about it."

Jan Prisic has been volunteering with the former Broomhouse Elderly Befriending Service, now part of Vintage Vibes, since 2014. She tells us why she got involved and how she makes a difference.
Get in touch: firstname.lastname@example.com
We're visiting different areas of the city each month to spread the word about Vintage Vibes.
Take a look at our News section to see if we are coming to your area soon.
A: Firstly, have a think about what you can offer: how much time can you realistically give up each week? Would you like to visit on a one-to-one basis, or take someone out and about? Could you lead a friendship group, or even start up an activity group that you think would appeal to those over 60?
A: We're looking for anyone between 17 and, well . . . the sky's the limit!
A: The key aim of Vintage Vibes is to offer long-lasting friendships and create sustainable networks for people who are isolated and/or lonely. So we're asking our volunteers to commit to a minimum of six months, and ask that they be able to take part at least once a week for an hour or two.
A: We'll ask you about your interests and general likes, and how you think you might be able to help. Do you have a dog, for example, who could come with you on visits? Or perhaps you're sporty and could help someone keep active, or reminisce about sport with them. Whatever you have to offer, we want to help match you with someone with shared interests and experiences.
A: We will do a brief assessment at your initial meeting, followed by a formal interview and a request for references. Vintage Vibes will apply for all successful candidates to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme. This is a lifelong membership scheme and is free to join if you volunteer through us. If you are an existing member of PVG, we will carry out routine checks and assessments.
A: A PVG application can take up to eight weeks to be processed and we can't match you until it has been approved. In the meantime, however, we'll put on training and the chance to get together and meet other volunteers who have signed up with Vintage Vibes.
A: Absolutely! Volunteers are the cornerstone of Vintage Vibes, so we're committed to ensuring you're valued and supported. The initial training is three sessions over a few weeks with our service co-ordinators Heather and Emily. They cover topics such as expectations, confidentiality, attitudes, values and boundaries, as well as some general dementia awareness raising. Once you're up and running as a volunteer, there will be ongoing reviews, meetings and the chance to get together with other volunteers for further training and professional development.
A: There is no charge for joining Vintage Vibes as a volunteer. We are also happy to reimburse you for reasonable expenses incurred during volunteering, for example, attending an event or travel costs.
We're looking for volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds, circumstances and age groups. We welcome everyone who wants to help our Vibes VIPs, and are particularly interested in the following:
While no specific skills or experience are required to volunteer with Vintage Vibes, there are a number of key qualities we think are important:
We also think it's important that our volunteers:
Vintage Vibes is particularly interested in being able to offer friendship and support to people who are in minority groups, have mental health issues or suffer from dementia. If these are areas you have experience in, or are interested in helping, we would love to be able to match you up.

By Bye Penny
Yesterday on March 29, 2012, the federal government announced in its budget that it would withdraw the penny from circulation in the fall of 2012. As a Canadian I feel a sense of sadness of course for the loss of the penny, as if some historical icon has been pulled from under me. Through the years I've learned to love and hate the penny, but it demise isn't so bad after all. Pennies aren't worth much in the current economy, we forever have to carry them in our pockets, and it's too time consuming to roll them up for the bank. All they are good for is handing to some poor cashier, who has to count them out to make sure they won't be short-changed on their shift.
The first Canadian cents were struck in 1858 and had a diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch) with a weight of 4.54 grams. I'm the first to complain about having to put a few pennies in my pocket after buying a coffee at work. Now just imagine putting a few of those 1858 pennies in your pocket. 😉 Back then you probably could buy a coffee for a penny. The current penny we know with its iconic Maple Leaf branch was designed back in 1937.
I have fond childhood memories of pennies. As a young kid I remember going to the store to buy candy, only because my friends were doing it. I had no issue dropping 2 pennies for Double Bubblegum, but when it came to the jawbreakers for 5 or 10 cents that was a whole other game. After all, nickels and dimes were shiny silver and worth more! During my lunch break in junior high we used to walk down to the railway tracks and place a few pennies on the rails. We would watch the trains run them over (CP-T) and grin from ear to ear. We even tried taking our new flattened pennies to the store to some buy junk food – but I don't remember the store owners being too amused. My other memory was dropping a penny into a tub of Coke (KO-N), and coming back in a few hours to find my new shiny penny with little left but a glossy sheen. And that's about all that pennies were good for even back then.
Thanks to the ravages of inflation and rise in copper prices a penny is even worth less today. Ironically, it costs 1.6x more than a cent to make a cent, so it was no surprise the Canadian penny was doomed. Once a year I roll all my spare changes and take my pennies to the bank. Shall we say the $5.73 last year in rolled pennies didn't really contribute much to the overall TFSA or RRSP strategy did it? Bye bye Penny!
Getting Short Changed
However, the penny will retain its value indefinitely and can continue to be used in payment. Cheques, credit and debit cards and electronic transactions will continue to be settled to the cent. Cash transactions will be rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cent denomination, after taxes. According to a recent article in CBC, the 2012 federal budget states: "The government expects that businesses will apply rounding for cash transactions in a fair and transparent manner."
What consumers expect as fair and transparent, and what business deems as fair and transparent are two separate things aren't they? Can you see the potential for raising prices? Two or three cents might seem minimal on the surface, but on a scale of hundreds or thousands, could put much more revenue in business coffers. A bit of creative math, and that $4.77 cent mop attachment at Wal-Mart is now priced at $4.80, a .03 cent or whopping 0.63% increase. That may not seem like much, but on retail volume can add up quickly. Let's hope the corporate retail sector does indeed play fair in a "transparent manner" in the new penniless marketplace.
RIM In Trouble
While RIM the maker of the iconic BlackBerry is far from being a penny stock, its future is certainly in jeopardy. This week Jim Balistile resigned from the board, leaving the newly appointed CEO Thorsten Heins in an awkward position with plummeting sales ,and reeling from a less than stellar debut with the playbook. RIM is stuck with declining earnings, wedged between the consumer and business markets, and sitting on the sidelines between the success of Apple and Android. Many are now comparing the RIM situation to PALM. But most Canadians are still rooting for RIM. Is it too little too late for RIM? Or is RIM a turnaround stock? What little time is left for RIM will certainly tell in the weeks and months to come.
