Part 3: Out and About
When last we left Amanda, she was still naked with her wrists cuffed behind her back and her ankles locked together. Her friend/safety Sarah had arrived. The problem was she seemed to be making things worse. She tricked Amanda into going outside to get her 'keys' only to find that they were her car keys and not the ones for her cuffs. Now she's locked-up and outside with the porch light beaming down on her bare skin for the entire world to see. The only option appears to be getting the spare key from her car. If only that were as easy as it sounds…
Amanda peered around the corner toward the front of the house. It was fairly dark with only a few dim lights up and down the block. She didn't see anyone and she hadn't see many cars come down this block over the years, especially not at night. Still, she wanted to be absolutely sure it was safe. After a couple minutes of watching, Amanda was convinced that the coast was clear.
Amanda slowly made her way out of the shadows and began hopping methodically towards her car. She tried to stay on the grass as much as possible to reduce the amount of noise she'd make and to spare her bare feet. Even though her rationale kept telling her that no one was awake, she felt like she was completely on display and that the entire neighborhood was watching. The warm summer breeze sent a chill down her spine and perked up her nipples, only adding to her apprehension. Despite her uneasiness, she continued at a relatively slow pace since she didn't want to trip and fall.
Amanda reached the curb by her car. It was an older model but it still had a button on the remote to pop the trunk. As she hit the button, the car beeped twice. It wasn't very loud but Amanda felt like there might as well have been a fighter jet going overhead what with the dead silence around her. She regretted not opening it from behind some cover but she looked around and saw that nothing had actually changed. Calming her nerves, she lowered herself onto the road and shuffled herself into position with her back to the trunk. She reached behind her and lifted the lid up all of the way. It sprang open and Amanda was happy to see her big bag of goodies sitting alone in the trunk.
She was glad she had recently spent time cleaning out all the junk that had collected back there over the years. Otherwise, this might have been an unpleasant experience. Clean or not, as Amanda looked over her bag she began to realize just how difficult it was going to be to get to her keys. She decided that her best bet was to actually make her way into the trunk.
Sitting on the bumper, Amanda hoisted herself backwards into the trunk. To Amanda's surprise, it was fairly easy to do. Now that she had some leverage, she sat on her knees and began feeling around for the zippers on her bag. She couldn't remember exactly where she had put her spare keys but there were only so many places that made sense. As she unzipped and dug through various compartments, she lost all sense of her surroundings. That is, until she heard footsteps. Worse yet, they sounded like they were approaching the car.
Amanda started to panic. Was it a late night jogger? Maybe a Good Samaritan who noticed that her trunk was open and was investigating to make sure all was well? Or was it a stalker that had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike? The last one seemed ridiculous to Amanda but her mind kept thinking up the worst scenario and that was certainly it. Should she call for help? It wasn't like she was gagged or anything. No. That would certainly get her noticed. She'd only scream if it was someone dangerous. But how could she tell?
Amanda's heart raced as various thoughts ran through her head. The footsteps came closer and she began to panic even more. They were coming from the front of the car and the trunk blocked any vision she'd normally have in that direction. In a final effort to avoid being seen, she ducked and curled herself into the back of the trunk, using her bag for as much cover as possible. 'Maybe,' she thought. 'Just maybe they'll leave me alone.'
Amanda closed her eyes tight and held as still as possible as the footsteps got louder and louder and then…nothing. 'They were so close. Why did they stop?' Amanda wondered. It didn't seem like they had reached the car yet, did they? Would someone be tip-toeing quietly up to the trunk? Why would they? Could she really be in trouble?
"Oh, good grief. Please don't tell me you're supposed to be hiding."
Amanda knew that voice. It was Sarah. Her nerves settled and she rolled over rather timidly, knowing good and well that she wasn't actually hidden. Sarah stood above her with her hands on her hips, shaking her head. Amanda was relieved but still fairly embarrassed. She felt foolish about her pathetic attempt to stay out of sight.
"What, ahem," Amanda started, needing to clear her throat, too ashamed to make eye contact. She eventually looked up at Sarah with a sheepish grin. "What's up?"
Sarah almost started laughing on the spot. She always found Amanda's attempts to 'act natural' quite entertaining. Sarah was so amused that she had almost forgotten why she came outside. Then she remembered.
"So, I was raiding the fridge and pantry and I noticed that you don't have much to eat."
"Yeah," Amanda acknowledged. "I was going to look into that today but I was a little preoccupied." Again, Sarah was astonished how Amanda could act so natural in her current position.
Sarah looked at the bag and seemingly changed topics. "So this is your bag o' goodies, huh?"
Amanda nodded. Sarah reached around the open pockets and dug out some keys. "That's them," Amanda said, holding her arms up behind her as best she could, implying Sarah could finally free her wrists. Instead, Sarah pocketed them. "Hey!"
Sarah ignored her and continued going through the bag. She dug out some rope and a vibrator. Amanda was shocked but admittedly excited. "What, um… what are those for?"
"You," Sarah answered, bluntly. "Sit up."
Amanda complied as the rope was doubled over and passed around Amanda's waist. It was then slipped through her wrist and ankle cuffs and pulled around her front. Amanda watched in anticipation as the vibrator was slipped slowly inside of her. Sarah then tied off the rope, trapping the toy inside. "Gag or no?" she asked casually.
"Um, gag," Amanda replied after some thought. It was a rare request since Amanda hated being gagged but it'd been weeks since she last stimulated herself and the simple act of inserting the vibrator sent shockwaves throughout her body. Keeping quiet without one would be almost impossible and since Amanda didn't know what Sarah was planning, she'd play it safe.
Sarah seemed surprised by the answer and dug through the bag looking for one. Amanda told her where to look. "Any last words?" Sarah asked. Amanda hated when she said that. Sarah said it every time she had gagged her so there was no hidden meaning. Still, it sounded so… final.
"Um, just that it's been a while so, I guess, you know… less is more?" Amanda replied, almost as a question. It was a common saying but they both knew what she meant. Generally speaking, she wanted Sarah to go easy on her.
Sarah nodded and settled the gag in place. "On your side."
Amanda went to comply but couldn't. She hadn't realized until now just how little mobility she had left. Her wrists and ankles were not only pinned together but now they were held snuggly towards her bottom through the crotch rope. Any shifting of them pulled on the rope and forced the vibrator to move, driving Amanda crazy. Sarah noticed this and helped lower Amanda onto her side. She waited to see Amanda stop shaking from the sensations and asked, "All good?"
Amanda took a deep breath and nodded, still unaware of Sarah's plans. "Good," Sarah replied. "Off to the grocery store."
With that, Sarah grabbed the bag and closed the trunk. She then heard a car door open and close and then another. She assumed that the bag went in one door and Sarah went in the other. As the engine started, Amanda's heart began racing but, surprisingly, it wasn't from being nervous. As the car pulled off, all she could think about was how long it would be until Sarah decided to turn on the vibrator.
Part 4 – Just a Minute
Amanda was surprised at how comfortable she was lying in the pitch black trunk. Sarah had some outlandish ideas from time to time but Amanda was surprisingly excited about this one. Of course, she was assuming that Sarah wouldn't do anything stupid and get her caught. In the end, Amanda really did trust Sarah with her life which is why she had made Sarah her safety in the first place. All in all, she was rather giddy.
"We're here," Sarah announced from inside the car. It was a relatively short distance to the grocery store and the time seemed to fly for Amanda. Of course, she could only assume that that was where they actually were.
Amanda heard the car stop and the engine turn off. She heard some movement and the car door open. "I'll… for a minute. Don't leave… 'kay?" Sarah said from just outside the car. It was hard to hear what she was saying but Amanda heard just enough to feel the sarcasm in Sarah's voice.
Next, Amanda heard the door close followed by a locking sound. As she listened to Sarah walk away, she closed her eyes and tried to relax. No sooner did she do so when she felt a sudden buzz between her legs. It was brief but quite apparent.
"Mmmph!" she blurted into her gag, her body bouncing and landing with a noticeable thud. Thankfully Sarah didn't engage the car alarm otherwise that might have set it off.
'What the hell was that!?' she wondered. 'And why did it stop?' She wasn't sure if she was relieved or disappointed that it was so short lived. The initial sensation got her really excited so she was leaning toward the latter but a prolonged buzzing like that would likely become annoying if Sarah took too long.
Just as she started to cool down, another burst of stimulation struck her. This time, it was slightly longer in duration and Amanda realized that it was actually quite weak. It consisted of several short bursts and some light buzzing in between. Amanda couldn't help but revel in the sensation. Her back arched and her toes curled as she began to lose herself in the moment, purring longingly into her gag. She lost all sense of time and place. All she could think about was the vibrator.
'Mmm, setting number four. I've never cum to setting number four,' she thought, finally recognizing that Sarah must have switched on the vibrator at one of its weakest settings. It had nine modes in no particular order but four and nine were easily the weakest in her mind. Neither of those two settings ever proved strong enough to get her off but in her highly sensitive state, all bets were off.
It felt great so that she was extremely disappointed when the vibrations abruptly stopped. Amanda began bucking around to try and continue the pleasure but it was not enough. In fact, as good as it felt, she wasn't even that close. 'Sarah, you tease,' Amanda thought, trying to calm down.
Amanda had assumed that Sarah didn't even go into the store yet. That was also assuming, of course, that they were even there to begin with. They could be anywhere. Maybe Sarah was just sitting next to the car and toying with her. It wouldn't be the first time Sarah had tricked Amanda. In fact, it wouldn't even be the first time tonight. Still, she couldn't quite figure out what Sarah was up to.
Trying to rationalize a completely irrational situation was getting Amanda nowhere. Eventually, all that thinking was interrupted when the buzzing returned. It was the same setting as before and it took seemingly no time at all for Amanda to get aroused all over again. Instinctively, she began to grind away at the vibrator, hoping to take full advantage of the pleasures it offered. Unfortunately, the vibrator turned off even more abruptly than it had turned on.
"Mmmph," Amanda groaned into her gag, disappointed. 'She really is just messing with me!' she thought, trying not to let Sarah get in her head. As she did, she began recalling a conversation the two had had about a week earlier…
************One Week Ago*********
"So, I've been completely hands off for almost a month," Amanda explained.
"Um, good for you," Sarah answered, blowing on her coffee.
Amanda looked around. The two were all alone as they walked through the park so she felt comfortable continuing. "You know how the next one always feels so good after a long break? And how good unexpected ones are when they suddenly sneak up on you?" she asked.
"I guess," Sarah responded, continuing to blow on her coffee. She took a sip and winced. "Dammit! Why do they always make these things so damn hot?!"
Amanda continued, shrugging. "I don't know. Anyway, I, um…," she paused, trying to think of how to explain it. "I want my next one to just happen next week. I don't want to force it."
"You want it to just happen? What the heck does that mean?" Sarah asks, glaring angrily at the steam emanating from her coffee cup.
"I don't know. I guess it should just come about naturally. Go with the flow. You know what I mean?" she said, again trying to convey her thoughts.
"If you want it naturally, you need a guy," Sarah retorted, again blowing on her coffee.
"That's not what I meant and you know it," Amanda said, turning towards Sarah.
"I know, I know. So you want it to just be a byproduct of your bondage and not brought about by some planned out gimmick. I get it," Sarah suggested. Amanda stopped in place. Confused, Sarah stopped and looked at her. "What's up?"
Amanda just smiled. "You really are listening," she said.
"Of course I'm listening. I'm a great listener," Sarah said, taking another sip of coffee. She flinched slightly and shook her head in frustration. "I hate coffee."
"But you love caffeine. Anyway, I just want to remember the next one for a long time… and in a good way," Amanda explained as the two continued walking. Amanda continued talking a little louder and with a bit of a flourish. "After that, it'll be no holds barred. Anything goes. Well, almost. I want this to be my greatest bondage week ever."
Amanda hadn't realized that they were no longer alone as a lone jogger passed them. He had headphones on and they could hear the music as he passed so he probably didn't hear anything she had said. Nevertheless, Amanda paused and turned red in the face. Sarah laughed and put her hand on Amanda's shoulder.
"A week to remember, huh? I think I can help with that. But don't forget. My flight doesn't land until late Monday. Plus I'll probably be tired since I can never sleep on planes so it has to wait until Tuesday. Got it?" Sarah said.
"Deal. And don't you forget that you're not my," Amanda looked around and didn't see anyone else. Confident that the jogger was far enough away, she continued in a whisper. "You're not my mistress. That ship has sailed. You're just my safety. I don't mind the occasional help but I'm going to do most of it by myself."
Amanda's thoughts were interrupted by the vibrator. The setting remained the same and it continued to feel amazing. This time, however, she heard something. It was the lock disengaging and the trunk being unlocked. The lid swung open and Amanda was briefly blinded by the streetlight overhead.
As her eyes adjusted, she saw Sarah standing over her with some bags. She put them down beside Amanda in the trunk. At this point, Amanda was squirming again as the vibrations persisted. "Oops," Sarah blurted, reaching into her pocket. Suddenly, the vibrations stopped. "You didn't cum, did you?"
Amanda shook her head no, closing her eyes and breathing heavily behind the gag. If she could speak, she would explain that she was getting close for a second there, but it seemed to be subsiding. She'd also ask how the heck Sarah managed to shop and stimulate her like that at the same time. Fortunately, Sarah answered her question anyway.
"I'm not sure if it worked but I shopped with the remote on. Low, of course… to reduce the likelihood of you getting anywhere but still enough to notice. Anyway, I was hoping it would trigger every time I walked by the front of the store. That's why I parked so close," Sarah explained in great detail as she held up the remote from her pocket.
Amanda was impressed. Not only by the idea but that it had worked so well. Then Sarah's last sentence registered. 'Parked so close!' she thought in a panic. Somehow, she had forgotten that they were in a parking lot and she was completely nude and tied up.
Her attention jumped immediately to her surroundings. She looked around in a panic to make sure that no one could see her. She didn't notice anyone but her vantage point was far from reliable. Sarah reached down and put her hand on Amanda's shoulder. "It's okay. Nobody's here," she assured her, reaching into one of the bags and pulling out some eggs. "Now, I need you to hold these so they don't break, okay?"
Amanda looked confused as did Sarah as she internally debated how she was going to do that. Suddenly, she had an idea. She placed the eggs down and turned Amanda onto her back. "Comfy?"
Amanda shrugged. It was okay for now but she was sitting awkwardly on her hands and feet. Leather cuffs and ropes aside, they'd probably fall asleep on her after too long. "Don't worry. It won't be long," Sarah assured her. She picked the egg carton back up and snuggled it neatly between Amanda's breasts. Amanda let out a confused groan and looked at Sarah. "Now don't drop them."
With that, Sarah closed the trunk. Amanda tried her best to steady herself and keep the eggs in place. She felt them slide a bit once or twice but for the most part they seemed okay. As expected, her hands started feeling a little numb but she took that as an added challenge, willing herself to balance the carton above all else.
The trip felt a little longer in this direction, most likely due to the added distraction. Nevertheless, they arrived back at Amanda's parent's house, parking in the garage much to Amanda's delight. Sarah popped the trunk and saw the eggs sitting neatly on Amanda's sternum. She looked impressed.
"Not bad," she said, picking them up. "I'm actually surprised that worked."
Immediately, Amanda rolled on her side and began flexing her hands to regain feeling. They stung for a bit but she eventually worked them out. "Sorry about that. You okay?" Sarah apologized, noticing Amanda's discomfort. Amanda nodded she was all right as Sarah reached back into her pocket and pulled out some keys. She unlocked Amanda's legs and Amanda immediately stretched them out, working her toes, knees, and ankles in various ways. As Sarah unloaded the trunk, Amanda climbed out (with some help) and continued stretching. Once done, Sarah closed the trunk and removed Amanda's gag.
"Wrists?" Amanda asked, offering her backside to Sarah.
"Not yet," Sarah replied, unlocking the house door and bringing the groceries in. Amanda followed closely behind.
"Why not?" Amanda wondered aloud.
"Because," Sarah started, putting down the groceries. "I don't trust you sticking to your plan. And I'm not about to let you ruin it in a moment of weakness."
Amanda appreciated the thought but she really just wanted to stretch. Certainly she had a little willpower. "Oh come on. I can keep from touching myself. I promise," Amanda said.
"Oh yeah?" Sarah countered. She approached Amanda and removed the crotch rope and vibrator. Amanda closed her eyes and breathed heavily as it slid effortlessly out, soaked as it was. "How about now?"
Amanda's legs were twitching and she felt her hands instinctively tugging to reach her nether region, blocked only by the leather cuffs that remained. Amanda groaned in frustration. Not just sexual but mental, cursing her lack of self control. Sarah raised an eyebrow and tilted her head as if to say 'I told you so.'
"Dammit," Amanda conceded, reluctantly. "You win. But my shoulders are killing me. You've got to at least let me stretch them out."
"I will," Sarah answered, turning to the kitchen. "Right after I put away the groceries and I can figure out a way to keep you off of yourself."
"Well, it's not like I have a chastity belt or anything," Amanda pointed out. Sarah didn't respond. She just went ahead and started putting things away. Amanda helped as best she could. Once clear, Sarah returned to the car, returning with Amanda's bag of toys.
The bag was massive and Sarah began digging through it. She knew most of it but one item surprised her. "When did you get a straight jacket?" she asked.
"I actually won it in a contest. It's crazy customized," Amanda responded.
"Okay. But how do you use it? I mean, it's not like you could get out of it during self bondage or anything," Sarah questioned.
"Oh, it's not how I'll get out," Amanda explained. "Its how I'll get in. See, I have a remote lock that I can use to get free but I'm not sure how to go about putting it on by myself. I figured you could possibly help with that part."
"Sure," Sarah said with a pause, examining the jacket. "Let's use this for tonight."
Amanda had wanted to sleep in the straight jacket at some point this week so she quickly agreed. After having her shoulders pinned behind her back all day, forcibly crossing her arms in front of her would be a welcome change. Amanda smiled and, before she even realized it, Sarah was removing her cuffs and holding the jacket up for her to put on.
Amanda stretched her poor arms in various directions. She hadn't noticed just how stiff they were until now. After a couple minutes, Sarah presented the straight jacket again. Amanda happily obliged, slipping her arms into the sleeves. She waited patiently as Sarah tied and buckled the whole thing. Sarah used a regular lock to complete the outfit meaning Amanda would be unable to free herself.
Sarah stood back and admired the newly bound Amanda. "That's quite the custom bit of gear you've got there," she exclaimed, looking over every inch of Amanda's body. Despite all their previous interactions, this made Amanda a little red in the face.
The jacket was a perfect fit for Amanda, customized to her exact dimensions. Side straps held her upper arms to each side of her chest while her lower arms crossed snuggly across her stomach towards her hips. Her breasts were completely exposed and pushed slightly together as they fit almost naturally through an opening in the top of the jacket. Straps wrapped down between her legs and around her thighs, preventing her from slipping out of the outfit. It even allowed for complete exposure of her private region should she so choose fully equipped with detachable clips to apply to her outer labia for an additional level of exposure. Sarah didn't apply clips, but she certainly made a note of them.
Amanda tugged in futility to assure both her and Sarah that there was no give in any part of the outfit. In fact, the more she twisted and turned, the more her breasts seemed to jiggle much to Sarah's amusement. Despite the wondrous spectacle before her, Sarah yawned and looked at the clock. It was after three and she was certainly feeling tired. She slapped her hands on her thighs and stood up. "Well, time for bed."
Sarah grabbed a few more things out of the bag and led Amanda up to her room. She helped position Amanda onto the center of the bed and locked a short chain from her back up to the top of the bed frame. "There," Sarah said, checking the length. It was hardly three feet, giving Amanda enough room to sleep comfortably without any room to get off of the bed. Amanda seemed a little puzzled. "Can't have any bump and grind stuff going on while I'm sleeping, now can we."
Amanda tested her bonds and found them surprisingly comfortable. Sarah checked her over once more to ensure that there was no danger of asphyxiation while the two slept. Satisfied that none of the restraints could reach her neck, Sarah left the room. She turned back, said good night, and shut the light. Despite her exhaustion, it took Amanda a long time to fall asleep as she was far too excited. If this was the day she didn't have anything planned, she could only imagine what the rest of the week would be like. Her mind raced as she played out one scenario after another. Without even realizing it, she nodded off…

Jacob and Samuel Hawken were American gunsmiths and traders who operated from their shop in St. Louis, Missouri from 1825 to 1855. They are famous for designing the "plains rifle" named after them (the Hawken rifle).

History
Born in Hagerstown, Maryland, Jacob (born 1786) and Samuel (born October 26, 1792) were brought up to become gunsmiths. Despite the fact that local folklore sets the establishment of their shop in 1807 the evidence suggests that Jacob worked for the Harpers Ferry Armory from 1808 until at least 1818,  when he moved to Missouri and bought  of land in New Madrid. He also entered into a partnership with a St. Louis, Missouri gunsmith named James Lakenan which lasted until the latter's death on August 25, 1825.

Meanwhile, Samuel had established his own enterprise in Xenia, Ohio; but after the death of his wife and father, he relocated to St. Louis, where he formed a fresh business, separate to that of Lakenan and his older brother. The Hawkens became partners, however, after Lakenan's death.

Their shop, though it excelled in gun-smithing, was also a bastion of old-fashioned craftsmanship; for up until 1848, they repaired and restocked tools as well as firearms and produced brass axes, tomahawks, gun worms and even basket-style hilts for swords.

Jacob Hawken died in 1849 (his burial location is unknown) and Samuel continued with the business on his own. In 1855, he retired and passed the shop to his son William, and William's business partner Tristram Campbell.

Samuel Hawken died on May 8, 1884, at the age of 92, in St. Louis. He was buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery.

I have the best impressions from my trip to Russia. First of all, thanks for the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff of the local office in Krasnoyarsk. I can not mention anyone: I was surrounded by friends, but I'm probably more graceful to Natalia.
The interpreter Tatiana met me at the hotel, accompanied me on dates, and showed the sights of the city.
But most importantly, of course - are girls, with whom I encountered. I chatted with several girls (because it was very difficult to choose just one and understand how it will be in reality). But I decided to take the unlimited package of dates and I had 11 dates in four days. It was the right decision because I liked the girl who I did not pay attention on the website - and I'm happy I met her! Many girls had professional pictures, so I was actually worried that they may look different. But they were all very nice, friendly, even I was surprised that these beautiful women are still single.
In general, I advise you to visit Russia. It was an interesting experience and I hope that I found my future wife.


I'm no big football fan, I usually rather go play Fussball (table football) around the corner while most of my mates are watching the real thing on a big screen. Football really isn't my thing, or to be honest, watching any kind of sports on TV has always been kind of a "why do that" thing for me. But during EURO 2016 it's been sort of different.
After Leicester City F.C won the 2015�16 Premier League as huge surprise to everyone, making many betting sites to close their doors soon after (as the odds were as big as 5000:1), I thought to myself that it would be rather great to see some underdogs win the Euro 2016 as well. So I was thinking - why not Albania, Wales, or Iceland. At this point two of them are still in the game with Wales playing Belgium today (July 1, 2016), and Iceland going against France on Sunday (July 3, 2016). And there's no question about who I'm rooting for. Iceland has played a great game from the beginning. Independent of the rants by Ronaldo after the draw between Portugal and Iceland, where he was saying that Iceland didn't even want to win, that they were playing like a team with a mentality of a small country. Booohoo, they are a small country, for starters. And if they didn't even want to win, why didn't you take advantage of that my dear Ronaldo?
Iceland's game with England was probably the best one yet - me being a non-fan of football couldn't take my eyes off the screen even for a second. The first 30 minutes the game was played as if everyone were competing in 100-meter dash, tiring out the players from both sides, including the referee, so he decided not to give even one minute of extra time after the first half. England couldn't do a thing against Iceland, except for the penalty on third minute, which, in my opinion, was a a questionable decision by the referee. As I talked to my brother, a coach and a referee himself, he did say that everything was by the book, but of course the decision could have been different as well, and it would still have been one right. So I guess the penalty was so and so.
And of course, maybe it was exactly that early penalty that helped drive Iceland to the win. So in that sense, maybe it was a good thing. And of course, good (or in this case, weird) things come in threes, England voted to leave the EU, now they were sent home from France, and ... now Boris Johnson took the coward's way out.
The next game for Iceland will be more difficult that anything before, playing against France. But I'm going to make my (possibly wishful) prediction that Iceland will win 3-2. Even though most of the online bookmakers give it on average only 8-1 chance.
Iceland�s co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson is coaching as a second job. His second job is being a dentist.
In Iceland there are more than 800 coaches with UEFA licenses (out of whom 185 hold A license). Compared to England, that at least 10 times more.
On June 10th there was news that 8% of Icelanders were off to Euro 2016 in France. Most of them didn't expect Iceland to last that long, and they had to lengthen their stay. The Icelandic football federation helped many of the big fans to stay off work longer, and even paid for their prelonged stay in France. The amount of Icelanders in France during the next game is expected to be way bigger. On and off the stadium.
Iceland has played France 11 times, and they have never won. So far.


As many of you know I teach every Monday a stamping class at the senior center in Lecanto. The class is three dollars and is open to anyone. I'm able to have ten and presently there are eight regular attendees. Sign up is required a week before so I can prepare additional packets for use. The above photo is what everyone will be making on Monday. The paper clip in the right hand corner is a holiday bookmark.
This is a cute gift idea for adults or children. The paperclips can be purchased at Walmart.
I'm sure many of you are wondering on how I created the white scalloped paper under the snowman. This is very simple if you have the new Stampin'Up scallop punch. Just cut a piece of paper 23/4 inch square. Place the paper centered in the punch and punch each side one time. The background paper is from the Ski Slope Designer Series paper found in the holiday mini.

Prairie Potholes
Prairie potholes are important natural resources for people as well as waterfowl. They provide valuable, but often under-appreciated, ecosystem services that help people commercially, ecologically, and economically. They serve as natural sponges that hold excess water, which helps reduce the severity and risk of downstream flooding. They also recharge groundwater systems that supply water to farmlands and wells in the region. In addition, the potholes provide water and forage for livestock. And birders, as well as hunters, use the prairie potholes region as a destination for finding birds.Sweeping across five states (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa) and three Canadian provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), North America's prairie potholes are an important habitat and natural resource of the Great Plains grasslands.
As ancient glaciers retreated over 10,000 years ago, millions of shallow depressions were left in the Earth. These round depressions often fill with snowmelt and water in the spring, especially in wetter years, creating valuable seasonal wetlands that support rich plant and animal life. Many millions of ducks and other waterfowl come to the prairie pothole region every year to feed and breed.
The 64 million acres of the prairie potholes in the United States have 18 species of waterfowl, 96 species of songbirds, 36 species of waterbirds, 17 species of raptors, and five species of upland game birds.
The prairie pothole region is home to more than 50 percent of North American migratory waterfowl. Waterfowl breeding here include the pintail, gadwall, blue-winged teal, shoveler, canvasback, and redhead. Many other migratory birds—such as the snow goose, lesser scaup, and wigeon—pass through the region on their way to or from the Arctic and other northern breeding grounds.
The piping plover, American avocet, and Wilson's phalarope are among the shorebirds that breed in the prairie potholes region. Other shorebirds, such as the hudsonian godwit, American golden plover, white-rumped sandpiper, and buff-breasted sandpiper, pass through the potholes during their migration.
The U.S. part of the potholes region provides habitat for 40 species of breeding waterbirds, such as American white pelicans, rails, and herons. Many grassland birds are also found in the region, such as the bobolink, sedge wren, Sprague's pipit, Baird's sparrow, and the increasingly rare grasshopper sparrow.
Threats & Conservation
The Great Plains are known as America's breadbasket. But before the farmers arrived, the Great Plains were the most extensive grassland in the world, with about 100,000 acres of prairie pothole wetlands. Today only a small fraction of the grasslands remain in small, disconnected fragments. The wetlands that remain are surrounded by agricultural lands and impacted by agricultural chemicals and excess sediments and nutrients that run off agricultural lands and into the potholes.
Conserving the remaining prairie potholes is important not only to maintain waterfowl populations, but also to improve both surface and groundwater availability for agricultural purposes, including grazing and crop irrigation.
For many years, ranchers and farmers have been given incentives through programs, such as the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), to set aside lands for conservation and to adopt new management practices that reduce their impacts on natural areas. However, in recent years, high prices have encouraged farmers to return CRP lands to agricultural use, such as growing crops for biofuels, putting the prairie potholes at increased risk.
Left unaddressed, climate change may dramatically reduce the suitability of prairie potholes for waterfowl. As open water and soil moisture decrease with rising temperatures and more severe droughts, many prairie potholes are expected to dry up more frequently or sooner in the spring, thereby eliminating or reducing their suitability for breeding waterfowl. Drought conditions brought on by climate change could dry up as much as 90 percent of the region's remaining wetlands, leading to a decline in breeding waterfowl in the region, and declines in other wetlands species as well.
Compounding the impact of climate change is the fact that the prairie pothole region has already much of its original wetlands, mostly to agriculture, and the losses continue. Thus, conserving the remaining prairie potholes is all the more important to maintain waterfowl populations, but also to maintain both surface and groundwater availability for agricultural purposes, including grazing and crop irrigation.
Minimizing impacts of climate change will require programs to secure conservation easements and discourage further draining or plowing of the remaining pothole wetlands. This is important to ensure that during times of severe droughts from climate change, a sufficient number of potholes with water are left to sustain minimal waterfowl populations.
Further protection from climate change can be achieved by undertaking efforts to restore degraded, drained, and destroyed prairie potholes across a broad expanse of this historic region. Studies have shown that the most suitable areas for waterfowl production vary from year to year within the prairie pothole region due to local climatic conditions.
Thus, conserving and restoring wetlands across a broad range is necessary so that as the region becomes dryer overall due to climate change, there will still always be some areas for waterfowl to breed.

January 2023, State Licenses and Permits Committee
PRYM 1216 Basement LLC, dba "Jewel Thief", 1214-1216 Broadway (Between 29th and 30th Streets), New York, NY, application for change in method of operation
At the regularly scheduled monthly Community Board Five meeting on Thursday, January 12, 2023, the following resolution passed with a vote of 34 in favor; 0 opposed; 1 abstaining:
WHEREAS, PRYM 1216 Basement LLC ("Applicant"), has notified Community Board Five of its intention to apply for an alteration to an existing on-premises liquor license for a bar and restaurant establishment located at 1214-1216 Broadway (between 29th and 30th Streets), New York, NY (the "Premises"); and
WHEREAS, In 2019, Applicant appeared before CB5 in connection with its application for an on-premises liquor license and at that time, Applicant delivered an executed affidavit whereby Applicant agreed to various conditions and stipulations, upon which CB5 relied on for recommending approval of the on-premises liquor license; and
WHEREAS, Among other conditions and stipulations, Applicant agreed to hours of operation from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM Monday through Saturday and 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM on Sunday and no live music, DJs, or dancing; and
WHEREAS, Applicant has now requested to extend its hours of operation until 4:00 AM Monday through Saturday and 3:00 AM on Sunday; and
WHEREAS, The Premises is located on a mixed-use block, with several residential buildings in addition to a number of other licensed restaurant and bar operations; and
WHEREAS, Community members have expressed that poor practices of operators on the block have contributed to deterioration in quality of life in the form of noise, poor sanitation conditions, and reduction in public safety; and
WHEREAS, Community Board Five has found that 2:00 AM closing has been effective in balancing needs of bar and nightlife businesses while reasonably preserving quality of life in a mixed-use neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, Many other operations in this area successfully coexist with hours of operation ending no later than 2:00AM; and
WHEREAS, Given the mixed demographics of this location and the need for businesses and residents to coexist there, hours of operation later than 2:00AM are not appropriate; and
WHEREAS, An extension to the Applicant's operating hours would create a precedent for new and other existing operators on the block to seek similar operating hours to the detriment of the balance between residents and businesses on this block; and
WHEREAS, Although some community members recognized the Applicant as a good operator and constructive contributor to the block, those same residents and many others submitted written and spoken testimony in opposition to the proposed changes, citing factors including existing noise levels on the block, unruly crowds in the late evening, and the importance of keeping a consistent closing time for all operators on the block; and
WHEREAS, Community Board Five finds that an extension of operating hours beyond 2:00 AM would have a material adverse effect on quality of life in the neighborhood and set a destructive precedent for existing and future operators on the block; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That Community Board Five recommends denial of the application by PRYM 1216 Basement LLC, dba "Jewel Thief", to alter the method of operation of its bar and restaurant establishment at 1214-1216 Broadway (Between 29th and 30th Streets), New York, NY.

Targeting corporate users, two vendors introduce products that make it easier to distribute data stored on CD-ROMs via intranets.
Targeting corporate users, two vendors are introducing products that make it easier to distribute data stored on CD-ROMs via intranets.
A standalone machine from Meridian Data and a peripheral device from Axis Communications let users easily access and share CD-ROMs over a network.
The StorPoint CD peripheral from Axis plugs into existing hardware and lets any Web browser read CDs formatted in HTML or other protocols over a network. The network peripheral works in NetWare, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2, Unix, and Web-based intranet environments.
Based on a 32-bit RISC processor, StorPoint CD is priced at $799 for Ethernet and $999 for Token Ring. The product will be available in mid-October.
CD IntraNet, the Meridian Data product, is a standalone unit that likewise lets surfers use Web browsers to access CD-ROMs over a network. The product, due to ship by October, includes both hardware and software. CD IntraNet is bundled with Windows NT Workstation and Netscape Communications' FastTrack Server.
Pricing for the CD Intranet, which includes a Pentium server, averages $12,000 for a version that can handle 14 CD drives, while a $27,000 model can handle 56 drives.
For current customers, Meridian will sell the software for about $500 as an upgrade (sans Web server), but the software is not being marketed separately.
Axis also will announce a network-ready digital camera called NetEye 200, to be marketed as a way to spruce up Web pages or a local area network with live pictures. The $1,300 device attaches directly to a local network and acts as a standalone Web server.

VPGAME, stay ahead in esports.
Call this Big Daddy your Coach.
米店
Chapter 1: Learn from the Champions.
Over the past week, Notail aka BigDaddy, posted on his Instagram that he is working on some sort of tutorial project. For your information, we don't really have any sort of dedicated tutorial provided in the Dota 2 client and it has been somewhat an abandoned feature like many other things that was introduced in Dota 2. So, a tutorial coming from the captain of Team OG definitely caught most of our attention.
As much as the community is excited for it, it isn't what most of us are expecting, at least not from the International 8 Champion who won more than 11 MILLION DOLLARS.
Chapter 2: A Small Price to Pay for Salvation.
Today, a platform that provides "Masterclass" from pro players, Gamerzclass, posted about their latest addition to their coach list, Notail himself. The course where Notail will be teaching players about the game we all love, will only set you back 34.99 USD and that's a great price! (Pewdiepie fangirl here)
Do note that the price gives you LIFETIME access to the course, so we really don't know how long the course will last. Think of it like Purge's tutorial videos on Youtube but it isn't free and it's from a TI Champion.
For more details about the course, check out: https://gamerzclass.com/products/johan-n0tail-sunstein
Chapter 3: A Good Step in the Right Direction.
There's no doubt that DOTA2 lacks proper tutorials and more importantly newbie introductions. Over the months, many unique players have take DOTA2 for a change from other games like Fortnite. However, the prevalent number of smurfs and boosters you meet in the trench pub games are so much that it often leaves a bad impression for these newbie players. After all, who likes to get destroyed 0-45 in 30 minutes?
Chapter 4: Anything can Work.
Now, Notail being a coach is probably the best thing you could pay for. Notail was one of the first few players who brought Nature's Prophet support into the meta in TI8. From the crazy harassment and zoning Furion can provide to the global impact whenever something happens on the map, it takes a genius to see that Furion is actually a viable support.
Not to mention that LGD has been playing against 6 heroes in every teamfight of the final game of TI8. Making it impossible for LGD to ever win a fight as OG successfully drag a fight long enough for Ana to clean up the rest of LGD heroes.
The point is we might be able to learn a thing or two about what innovative ideas he can suggest to us 2K players. After all, anything can work in Dota. Unlike many pros, Notail's passion in the game is much more profound and that's really what makes him such a successful player in the pro scene.
COMBO WAKAMAKA's Tribute to Notail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZobqKSSGPw
Chapter 5: Is it Worth it?
For the price of an Arcana, you can watch exclusive content and even other perks from the TI8 Champion himself. Remember that it's a one-time payment for possibly months of content. While I'm not sure how long would Notail be keeping up with this tutorial playlist of his, but it just might be worth it in the long run.
What do you think about Notail's initiative? Tell us in the comments! Stay tuned.

Q: What is the chance... I'm not a mathematician just an ordinary person, I would like to know, what is the mathematical chance for this to happen:
A computer randomly chose 1 number out of 1024, how many times you need to try to find the number?
After each unsuccessful try the computer will randomly chose another number out of 1024 which you have to guess and so on until you find the right number.
Thanks

In continuation to my previous entry on the connection we share with floor, I thought of putting some facts and figures together. These are in regard to postures, ergonomics and anthropometric data. But a more systematic way would be to jot down daily activities and see if these were/ are or can be performed close to the ground.
Squatting toilet : still used in many parts of the country but becoming rare. Found an interesting read about how squatting is healthier than using a western toilet. http://www.yourreturn.org/Inertia/Bowel_Cleansing.htm I think apart from what this article says, the action also ensures a bit of exercise.
Washing/ Bathing: In the absence of plumbing, water would be filled in buckets and bathing carried out sitting on the floor. This doesn't happen if one is taking a shower, which is rather new in many societies.
Prayers: Although this is not a part of my life, prayers are often performed sitting on the floor.
Meditation/ exercise and Yoga: All performed on floor. Cant get better anywhere else!
Cooking: Cooking was carried out sitting on the floor in most houseolds almost half a century back. Now it is limited to households that cannot afford modern kitchens in terms of space or money. My great grand mother had a floor kitchen, my grand mother used to cook sitting on the floor but had the option of a raised counter and my mother has a modern kitchen. In a floor kitchen the family would sit around while the woman cooked, chit chatted, in winters we cracked peanuts around the slow coal fire. So cooking seems to have undergone a drastic change in terms of posture.
Cleaning: Washing of dishes is still done on the floor in one corner in many houses. In Indian kitchens, it is common to have helpers who are more used to sitting on the floor and cleaning, and therefore, sometimes there are little squares made specially for this. I have one in my backyard where the care taker of the farm washes here dishes and clothes. Cleaning also includes brooming and moping. I would imagine that around 90% of houses are moped with a 'pochha' squatting and moving at the same time. Its only in institutional buildings and public spaces that cleaning is carried out with long stick brooms without sitting.
Working: This will vary from one occupation to the other. Most hand-craft work used to be and still is carried out on the floor. This allows for ample work space for groups, and works like a huge work surface instead to breaking it into smaller table surfaces. Most shops had floor seating for the shop-keepers behind counters of shops for daily needs. Cloth was sold sitting on the floor. Well in some places this is still not obsolete. My hometown is an example, but slowly being taken over by the retail sector. The older way of shopping had the shopkeeper personally showcasing the merchandise to each customer. There is also a more social angle to the context than mere ergonomics. Other professions like accounts were earlier carried out sitting on the floor. Most of the offices would have a 'munshi' or the accountant who sat on the floor with his account books on a short legged table. I am glad I have witnessed some of these practices. There are small pockets in old cities of India where you can still find this way of working. But in most places these have been replaced with tables and chairs. I dont deny the convenience of using furniture, like I am using right now. The point here is to compile floor connection and see where it takes me!
Sleeping: Ofcourse, there is no doubt that a mud floor is cool and most amazing to sleep on. With modern materials like cement, ceramic tiles the floor is too hard to feel comfortable on. Although its not uncommon to see even these floors used for sleeping. A simple mat or a mattress seems like a perfect bed for a good sleep.
Many new professions or job profiles or even social structures may not allow to have floor seating. Raised furniture definitely allows for more movement around work places. But in my mind the most limiting factor is the clothing that restricts one from using the floor for the above activities. It might make sense now to talk about postures and related costumes…perhaps in the next post.

Aria and Vdara Sold: CityCenter Owners Lose Billions
By Scott Roeben, on July 01 2021
Las Vegas Las Vegas Casinos Las Vegas Hotels
There's some big, boring casino sale news today, and you know where to go for the story behind the story.
We mean here. Please keep up.
First, MGM Resorts is buying out its 50/50 partner in CityCenter, Infinity World (part of investment firm Dubai World), for $2.1 billion.
This seems like a lot of money until you realize CityCenter cost $9.2 billion to build.
Saying Infinity World "took a haircut" is about the biggest understatement of the year other than "Paper straws create a less than ideal cocktail experience."
Dibs on the boats.
At roughly the same moment MGM Resorts bought out Infinity World, it announced it will sell Aria and Vdara to Blackstone, a private equity firm, for $3.89 billion in cash.
As part of a lease-back agreement, MGM Resorts will continue operating Aria and Vdara. The company will pay Blackstone $215 million a year in rent.
If you'll remember from four paragraphs ago, CityCenter cost $9.2 billion.
While it's difficult to separate out the value of Aria and Vdara from the rest of CityCenter (Crystals mall was sold to Investco and Simon for $1.1 billion in 2016), they represent the bulk of the value.
That means MGM Resorts and Infinity World have eaten billions in losses based upon their original investment. If you put the hit at $4 billion, the loss represents about as much as it took to build Resorts World, the most expensive casino resort ever built on the Las Vegas Strip.
We'd better not see this Aria artwork in a yardsale.
The sale of Aria and Vdara continue what MGM Resorts creatively calls its "asset-light strategy." Who needs those pesky assets, anyway? Owning things is so 1960.
A question few seem to be asking is why MGM Resorts sold Aria and Vdara to Blackstone rather than its own REIT (real estate investment trust), MGM Growth Properties.
In case you're unfamiliar with the name, Blackstone already owns several Las Vegas casinos, including Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay.
Proposed Blackstone slogan: Sin City's Landlord.
Why is MGM Resorts selling now? Probably to address some of its debt ($12 billionish long-term), but the company also says it may use the cash to "expand sports betting ventures" (that sound you hear is flushing money down the tubes) or "possible casino development in Japan."
Blackstone will soon own one of the more badass digital displays in Las Vegas.
What does the sale of Aria and Vdara mean to guests? Circling back to why such casino sales are boring: Pretty much nothing.
As the management of the hotels stays with MGM Resorts, anticipate little impact upon your visit.
The general trend has been less capital investment at hotels with lease-back deals, but overall, it's business as usual for travelers.
There's some jeopardy involved for companies like MGM Resorts, because if demand decreases, rents don't, and tenants can find themselves in a pinch. Prior to the pandemic, Las Vegas visitation was flat.
Hey, if casino companies aren't up for a gamble, who is?
Ultimately, it doesn't matter who owns what, as long as the games are fair, the rooms are clean and the Captain Morgan is plentiful.
The sale of Aria and Vdara to Blackstone is expected to be completed later this year.

I agree, MGM is nefarious to say the least .....yet no one see's the likely hood of what's going on. "MGM is still there" and when the feckless results of corporate greed and gov. happens, they have design, "a broom and dustpan effect" very similar to what the Fertitta's did!
JeffinOKC July 4, 2021
Snark all you want, but this is the largest investment in Nevada history. And it got finished and opened over ten years ago. I don't think T-Mobile and Allegiant get built without it. No Puckball or NFL. We would still be saying the Bellagio fountains and the NFR are the biggest things in Vegas. I don't think they lost money on the sale. These properties have been making incredible revenue for ten years and we have no idea of the accounting and tax strategies deployed over the decade. Boyd Gaming did the smart thing and stopped on Echelon around 2008 because they didn't have the access to capital at the level required to finish and ride out a slow opening. Kirk Kerkorian, Terry Lanni and Jim Murren had the vision and "tolerance for ambiguity", plus access to capital, that was required to make City Center operational. This thing has been employing Nevadans for a decade, rather than being Fountainbleau on steroids.
The Strohman July 4, 2021
It might not be as awful as it sounds. How much cashflow has City Center generated for MGM since it opened? Its not like all of that was used to pay debt. They've raked in cash from that place for 11 years - how much is anyone's guess. Its not a figure they likely publish in their public financial reporting. I'm sure they didnt lose as much as the sale suggests - and they'll get a nice tax break on the sale depreciation. My take on the property - Vdara is and always has been the only worthwhile component of the complex. Its got awesome suites with tram access to Bellagio. The valet-parking-only at Aria always made it a non-starter for me. Its not convenient to walk to from anywhere and you had to pay to valet park. Only went in once just to see it - no need to go again.
David F July 6, 2021
Strohman, your mixing it up, Vdara is Valet only, Aria has self park albeit on the opposite side of the hotel from the front desk. Personally I like Aria for video poker and the bars. None of the bars are doing ticket/light systems and the bartenders are fantastic. Staff and everyone there is usually top notch. Rooms are ready for some tlc but otherwise still nice. It is a bit buried but really not that that hard to get places with direct access to the Park and tram to Belagio. As also mentioned you cant judge the success or failure of city center just on the real estate, it has been an successfully operating property for 11 years.
lori July 3, 2021
If they can afford $215 million a year in rent, they didn't lose much if any. With that income you do not just say cost minus sale is the bottom line.
Mark July 3, 2021
Steve Wynn must be rolling over and in laughter! The fact that Jim "Jimbo" Murren spent around $8 billion to build City Center (which at the time was termed the largest private construction project in history), almost bankrupted the company during the recession, and then sold Bellagio (for $4.x billion) while City Center went for 3.9! Jimbo was a total joke! And that asshole got a $32 million dollar severance package. Between Aria and Vadara there must be over 5,000 rooms. Bellagio has to have less than 4,000. The bath MGM took on City Center is astounding. Was in Vegas for the Resorts World opening. Stopped by Bellagio. The MGM remodel looks cheap. They did away with the curtain overhangs that use to be over the gaming areas and opted for a more "modern" look. The seasonal decorations in the entry way were small and did not fit the grand large hallways they were in. Bellagio use to be the perfect property. As Thriller was to Michael Jackson Bellagio was to Steve Wynn/Mirage Resorts. Wynn is nice but Bellagio in its hey day was the best. It was the grand hotel. Even today if most people had a friend visiting Vegas they would tell them to visit Bellagio. Doubt many would say - you've got to see the shit show that is City Center. Hopefully MGM doesn't pave over the fountains and replace them with a CVS and shopping mall!
Nicholas Kaiser July 2, 2021
Don't forget the tragedy of the Harmon Tower and the recent announcement of that land being put to use finally. City Center is absolutely nothing like what was originally proposed and has had more than it's share of challenges. Personally I think MGM had big dreams but failed miserably in the execution Your also forgetting Waldorf Astoria.

Vegas is dead … the reaper just hasn't told everyone… from corporate casino greed , to bad city experiences .. to traffic .. to water … the days of Vegas are dying … wait till California just legalizes all gambling…
BST July 3, 2021
Yes I know many that are waiting for California to do just that .
KB July 2, 2021
My first and last experience at Aria was in 2010 when my wife and I had dinner with friends at the hotel. I tipped the valet upfront and asked to please put the car in a good spot. And what did he do? Took it to the downstairs garage drifting it and crashed it into a pole. Airbags out, front end in a V-shape. Aria's "risk-management" wanted the car repaired. I of course refused, not demanding a new car, but replaced with the same vehicle that was not wrecked! $22k in damage, BTW. In the end, I had my insurance company go after them, total the car and succeeded with full reimbursement. Aria's refusal to "make it right" and dragging out the situation told me everything I needed to know about Aria/MGM. Aria could have bought me 2 new cars with what it ultimately cost them in storage, replacement and loss-of-use. Since then, it's been my pleasure to warn friends, family members, business associates, strangers-I-talk-to-at-airports to steer clear of Aria. I've also shared my story with valets in town and told them to tell their friends. Not that I valet my car anymore............. : )
William Wingo July 2, 2021
The reason City Center didn't end up like FontaineDrew is that they decided that finishing it was marginally preferable to abandoning it. The expression used at the time was, "The way forward [was] better than the way back." Then throw in the Harmon tower debacle and you've definitely hit the big leagues.  I visited Vdara/Aria shortly after they opened, and came out with every cent I went in with. The games were unplayable, and everything was too expensive--sort of like some other recent openings. Since then I've driven past City Center occasionally, on the way between my favorite off-strip casinos; but usually, I just take I-15. A time-honored Las Vegas cost-reduction tradition is to defer or even just neglect maintenance: "Just slap some duct tape on it." With holding companies and REITs actually owning most of the strip resorts, and the operators squeezing every possible cent out of the day-to-day operation, it's not hard to imagine these places all looking like Rio or Circus Circus in a few years. But at least the execs will have their golden parachutes.
Catherine July 2, 2021
Las Vegas USED TO BE GREAT. It was a fun, economical place to visit. But corporate GREED has changed the tone of Vegas. First they added RESORT FEES. Now you have to PAY FOR PARKING. In the past, there were many, many GREAT DEALS ON FOOD. That brought many guests to all the hotels and casinos. The allure of cheap food and GREAT HEADLINERS in the showrooms at AFFORDABLE PRICES made Las Vegas appealing to the masses. They should rethink their GREEDY AGENDA and fill their rooms and casinos with HAPOY GUESTS. The money would flow and they would make a decent profit.
LA July 2, 2021
The author indeed misses the bigger point. MGM will now operate over 14 properties on the strip and as Catherine commented makes Las Vegas less appealing to visit. In fact the take the over of most of the great properties on the strip is a move out of the old Mafia playback with out a trip to the desert for failing to pay your gambling debt.
David July 2, 2021
How about the Fertitta boys. They were able bk stations and still become billionaires AND not lose ownership, all with the help of some judge. That is one huge scam that hardly ever gets any mention.
Scott Roeben July 2, 2021
Topanga July 1, 2021
MGM leadership is not exactly a think tank. They wanted half the strip properties & got them. Now they want to sell them. Poor management, they live in a dream world. None were CPA's, dreamers with high expectations & no understanding of costs & maintenance. They run up a $12 billion dollar debt, and shareholders demanding answers. Answers are clear. You need a new team. Lesson learned?
PhilInPhoenix July 1, 2021
@jp...don't forget that Boyd also lost Barbary Coast in the Stardust/Echelon debacle. Traded to Harrah's/CET for the Westward Ho land Boyd wasn't smart enough to scarf up.
Michael Alexakis July 1, 2021
The real losers were the original buyers of Vdara "condo's", they were going for crazy high at the beginning of the City Center construction... I remember looking at the models they had in Monte Carlo of City Center with my kids, they were wondering what the hook was, the theme. It was a big Seinfeld, it was about nothing. And during the years log construction I always thought Crystals was going to be a casino, what freaking idiot built the only City Center casino way away from the strip... Worst shopping center I have ever visited, smells like bad perfume mixed with tobacco smoke, the only crap they peddle is designer priced handbags... Hornbuckle held on to Crystals? Hahaha
Hank July 1, 2021
Couldn't agree more. City Center and Aria and the land they occupy are the biggest missed opportunities. And it'll probably be sitting there for generations at this cost.
Boulder Steve July 1, 2021
Asset light means MGM is a risky investment IMO.
Jackson July 2, 2021
It's akin to investing in a major hotel group like Hilton or Marriott. Hotel groups own very few of their own hotels. I'd say it's not any riskier than investing in airline stocks. You have to completely understand the business model and follow the trends/industry news closely. If you know what you're doing, it can be profitable.
Jp July 1, 2021
Boyd is still the winner in the "Let's pi** it away" category. $2 billion in Stardust real estate, only to sell it to Resort World for $300 million and then subtract the cost of tearing down the Stardust, planning Echelon and then building the first ten floors plus parking garage. Sum Total $00000.


Waste Heat Recovery System Market Pdf « Global Market Insights, Inc.
How will the waste heat recovery system market outlook change over 2019-2025 with the enforcement of favorable regulations and legislative initiatives undertaken across diverse geographies?
The waste heat recovery system market has shown immense potential lately, in light of the fact that authorities the world over are increasing their efforts in reversing the effects of global warming and therefore focusing on the use of renewable energy sources. For instance, the central government of India recently announced that cement plants, integrated steel plants, metallurgical industries, thermal power plants and other industries with potential to recover heat and that use waste heat recovery boilers without any auxiliary fuel do not require to get environmental clearance before setting up or expansion. The exemption is apparently to promote energy conservation and benefit industries given that they would be able to implement such energy conservations systems internally without having to go through a lengthy process of receiving environmental clearance.
Considering that India is a country where industrialization and urbanization have recorded some of the highest growth rate in the world, the move has been considered exceptionally optimal for the regional waste heat recovery system industry. As such initiatives continue to be undertaken by various countries looking to promote rapid industrialization, the waste heat recovery system market will undeniably receive massive stimulus.
The reason that waste heat recovery has received so much attention is because enhanced energy efficiency requirements pose a constant challenge for all industries and since price for traditional sources of energy are rising globally, there is an urgent need to reduce fuel bills to remain competitive. The general consensus on global warming says that if action is not taken now the situation may be irreversible as soon as 2020. The European Union 2020 energy package was designed to mean that EU meets its climate and energy targets for the year 2020 which included 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions, 20% of EU energy from renewables and 20% improvement in energy efficiency. Actions that were taken to meet such goals are also partly responsible for the growth of the waste heat recovery system market.
Legislative actions are possibly the most important actions taken that have the potential to drive the waste heat recovery system market as the government of any nation can add incentives or levy punitive taxes on industries for their use of energy and can therefore determine whether industries would be more responsible about the way they use their resources. For instance, the Chinese government recognizes the importance of industrial waste heat recovery and has amended the Energy Conservation Law of China in 2008 to boost adoption of waste heat utilization in industrial companies.
The importance of waste heat recovery has been recognized through various national legislations. For instance in 2008, Energy Conservation Law of China encouraged the adoption of waste heat utilization in industrial businesses while China's Circular Economy Promotion Law mandated that companies need to comprehensively utilize waste gas by following national requirements. China's 11th and 12th Five-Year Plans both emphasized waste heat utilization to be one of the Key Energy-Saving Projects, for the improvement of thermal energy efficiency in industrial boilers and furnaces as well as encouraging the adoption of waste heat to power generation technologies in energy-intensive industrial sectors.
Long term benefits of decarbonization and increasing energy efficiency of the industrial sector has also been recognized by the BEIS of UK that has launched an Industrial Heat Recovery Support Program to promote waste heat recovery. This could conveniently be one of the pivotal driving factors for the UK waste heat recovery system market which is expected to witness 7% CAGR over 2019-2025. The Industrial Heat Recovery Support Program aims at increasing industry confidence in the identification and investment in opportunities designed for recovering heat from industrial processes and increase the deployment of the technologies needed to do it in England and Wales. The program is expected to promote industrial energy bill savings of around £500 million and carbon savings of approximately 6 million tons over the course of its lifetime.
With such endeavors by governments in various nations becoming more supportive of renewable energy resources, the waste heat recovery system market is expected to gain greater traction in the years to come. As per reliable estimates, the global waste heat recovery system market is anticipated to surpass a valuation of $80 billion by 2025.
