Wigan depot took some of the Tigers acquired from Timeline Travel and unlike Bolton depot actually painted them and used them on service work.

The bus was on loan to Bolton depot and it seemed rude to leave it in rather than get re-acquainted with the type.

Picture This: Annie Leibovitz In Court

Courtney Comstock, 08.04.09, 10:10 AM EDT. Forbes.Com

The acclaimed photographer is sued by creditors over a contract worth $24 million.

=================================

Last year, famed photographer Annie Leibovitz leveraged practically everything but the shirt off her back for a loan from Art Capital Group. From their upscale office on Madison Avenue, the Art Capital Group doles out loans to celebrities and art collectors who put up real estate or pieces from their art collection as collateral. Some of the spoils of the business can be seen hanging on their walls, like the Warhols and the Rubens hanging there now.

In the past, high-profile names like Michael Jackson, Julian Schnabel and Veronica Hearst have turned to Art Capital for loans. Hearst leveraged the aforementioned Rubens. Next to forfeit her collection to their walls of shame might be Vanity Fair's Annie Leibovitz. Art Capital Group Inc. sued the famous photographer for breach of contract on Tuesday, July 28.

Last autumn, Art Capital gained the rights to Leibovitz's house in Rhinebeck, N.Y., her three townhouses in Manhattan's West Village, all of her existing and some of her future art. Leibovitz signed it all away to restructure her finances by borrowing $24 million from the Art Capital Group, a "high-class hock shop," according to most media reporting on the lawsuit. A spokesman for the group, Montieth Illingworth, told Forbes, "Using [the term 'pawn shop'] may make for interesting journalism, but it does nothing to capture [the group's] complicated and sophisticated expertise in art and finance." Perhaps their spokesman's upper-crust name better captures it.

Leibovitz is obligated to pay Art Capital the $24 million on Sept. 8, but it seems that she's still very broke. Just last May, B2Pro Lighting, whom she owed just under $200,000, threatened to file a petition to force Leibovitz into bankruptcy because of her outstanding debt. No petition has been filed yet, but that doesn't mean that Leibovitz has $24 million to repay Art Capital or that anyone ever expected that she would.

Both Leibovitz and Art Capital knew that her loan couldn't be repaid come September, so they made other arrangements via a sales agreement in which Leibovitz allows Art Capital to settle her projected debt by selling off her real estate and art properties, not an easy task considering the wavering art market. The group has the exclusive right to find buyers, make offers and sell on Leibovitz's behalf. They just don't have the right to force her to help them—yet.

Art Capital claims that Leibovitz has not only refused the bankers entry into her homes, which they need to value before she defaults on her loan, but that in general her conduct has been so "boldly deceptive," that it appears to them that she "entered into the sales agreement with no intention of performing or permitting performance under it." In their suit Art Capital petitions the court to order Leibovitz to allow appraisers into her home. They also seek judgment for her "willful breach" of what Illingworth says is "a very simple and clear agreement." Which Leibovitz signed. Four times.

A bit of evidence against her is an agreement that Leibovitz made last March. She entered into a "multi-project collaboration" with Orchard Represents by Getty Images despite owing all future photographic assets to Art Capital Group until after the $24 million loan is repaid. The $1.1 million contract Leibovitz signed with Getty sparked a separate lawsuit in April. The Art Capital Group apparently initiated Leibovitz's collaboration with Getty Images, who then made a similar arrangement without involving Art Capital.

There are plenty of wealthy art collectors out there to buy her photos, but Leibovitz has surely lost one potential buyer, her lenders-cum-collectors Art Capital. It's hard to imagine they'd even want a reminder of this year's legal mess hanging over their heads, even if it were a photograph of pregnant, naked Demi Moore.

McCurtain Co. Rural Water District's Ken Clagg, opens a valve to vent a pipeline, ensuring they are full and properly supplying Kiamichi Rural Water Department customers, such as the Smithville Schools and children, in Smithville, OK on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

The water system improvements for this system were made with the assistance of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development (RD).

Today, McCurtain Co. Rural Water District #6 customers, business owners, and governmental entities have come to Smithville, OK, on April 8, 2015, to celebrate the completion of a $25 million water project that for the first time ever provides public water to residents in Oklahoma’s Ouachita Mountains. The McCurtain RWD #6 project consisted of installing 253 miles of new water transmission and distribution lines and constructing five pump stations and three water storage tanks.

The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Grant provided $ 17,953,950 million through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Water and Environmental Programs (WEP), and a $5,659,000 WEP Loan. The balance was funded by collaborating with several other funding sources such as the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Department of Commerce (Community Development Block Grant), Oklahoma Water Resources Board (Rural Economic Action Plan Grant) and the McCurtain RWD #6 itself.

Attending this event are U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Oklahoma State Director Ryan McMullen and Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton to discuss the USDA and Choctaw partnership on USDA StrikeForce initiatives in the Promise Zones.

In an effort to lay a new foundation for economic growth, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009.

The Recovery Act included measures to modernize our Nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need. Of the $40.7 billion in program-level Recovery Act funding obligated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development obligated more than $21.2 billion in program-level funding to administer through seven USDA programs.

Faux Detective

Married Couple Ballroom Blitz

There is a certain upper class jewelle emporium with a branch located in a rather large shopping centre. Recently across the way a fancy dress shoppe opened that custom tailors one of a kind dresses and gowns and tuxes.

The managers of the two stores managers came up with the idea of on weekends having their male employees dress in tuxes, while the predominately female clerks would wear gowns, dresses and jewelry loaned prospectively from each store.

One weekend just after term, a female clerk in a long flowing gown of satin and lace, regally shimmering in the diamond pendent earrings and ring she wore with it, waited upon a long haired, smartly attired young lady in search of a dress to wear at a posh affair. As she tried on a satin number that made her look like a movie star(which she decidedly was not) she could not take her eyes off the clerks jewellery. The clerk let her have a closer look and informed her exuberantly that they could be purchased at the Jewelle Emporium across the way.

The lady soon had a far off look in her eyes…

A Married couple were out for an evening attending an upper end ( although the sponsor’s would never admit the it was that exclusive) Charity Ball. It was being held to help defray the costs for the charities’ good works( for which the family member’s holding offices, president ,vice prescient, treasurer etc, received Lordly salaries in range of six figures!)

It was a large affair, the cavernous ballroom filled to capacity. The wealthy couple in their ten year marriage(after a five year engagement) were used to partying and they had quite a time of it, mingling, dancing, drink and enjoying various other forms of social merriment.

An existing Photograph shows them to be a very handsome couple that evening( as they always were). Him in a pristine tuxedo, black with tails , top hat and real silver knobbed cane, he sported a thinly trimmed reddish beard and devilish look sprouting from his steel grey eyes. She was the epitome of elegance and fine breeding, her well-endowed figure elegantly encased in a stunning long, slickly “wet appearing ” satin gown of a rich shade of teal. It gracefully flowed along, literally pouring along down her figure, accentuating every suggestive curve of her body. Also along that figure, Jewels, alive with fiery rippling sparks as they peeked seductively from her ears, neckline and wrists! They were a valuably matched display, set with vibrant diamonds and deep green emeralds. Her long bare fingers were home to several diamond encrusted rings, including, of course, the much talked about emerald, ruby and diamond friendship ring that held court magnificently on her petite left ring finger. Her longish flaming red hair was held up by even more jewels, a dazzling pair of diamond and emerald encrusted green enameled clips.

At the end of the evening , a short time after the “witching hour” the couple retired to their suite in the upper floors of the posh five star hotel located near the royally named venue that held the Charity Ball .

They went by foot, walking along the mist filled streets to their hotel, reaching their destination with no upsetting incidents. A little surprising considering how the couple were decked out for the evening.

But such is the nature of the ultra--wealthy, they believe their station places them above such lowly deeds, such as being victims of a crime, until it actually happens right under their upturned noses, or when someone makes a statement that jolts them into the realty of such disdainful things occurring…

They entered their room, full of anticipation of the night’s activities that lay ahead of them. A vaise of fresh roses lay on an antique oak table in one corner of the room, next to a bottle of chilled champagne and an assortment of cheese ,shelled nuts and sweet meats. The wife turned to her husband and made a comment, she thought in jest; the crackers offered by the hotel were not the ones she fancied, like the ones at the Ball. Eager, as always, to please his rather innocent bride, the husband offered to dash out right away to the ballroom to see if he could commandeer some of them for her, he promised not to tarry.

He left before she could stop him, she being in the process of removing her wrap; she put it back on and went to the door to hail her husband back. Opening the door she called out down the hall to her departing husband. Immediately she realized her mistake as the man turned, and she let out a little squeal of alarm. It was not her husband, but a stranger in a dapper black suit and sporting a finely trimmed beard. She, clutching her wrap tightly about her, the end of her gown flowing out from beneath the satin cover, she apologized, and he came to her, no problems he said, smiling winningly. She noticed that his jovial eyes were looking her over, as had so seen so many men do that evening, it was a performance that she had gotten used to. Actually, He went on, I missed your door, and he held out an official card identifying himself as an agent of Interpol. We are warning everyone in this hotel about a suspected robbery to occur this evening. She gasped robbery? He went on; I would like to speak to you and your husband when he returns. He may be gone for a bit she informed him, but what do you mean by a robbery?

He motioned for her to step back inside her suite; she did so, her heart still pounding by his mention of a potential robbery. He explained they were after an international jewel thief known as “Le Sheppard” whose trail had led them to a charity ball being held close by the hotel this evening. She gasped again, we were there, a, a jewel thief was there also? Still flabbergasted by his words she closed and automatically locked the door behind him. He explained that he was working with hotel security to inform the guests of the danger of losing their valuables, particularly jewelry, that evening. Other agents were covering the other hotels in the area. It was believed that “Le Sheppard” would strike sometime that evening at one of them, and they wanted to catch him red handed in the act of lifting some pretty lady’s jewels, but did not want to risk him getting away with any.

His job was to suggest that the female guest of the hotel place their jewels either in the room’s private vault, or the hotels main vault that evening for safekeeping. If you wish, I could take your jewels down to the main vault for you, he offered politely, indicating a small pouch at his side that held several leather cases. She gulped, buying into his story, but she bulked at allowing them to be placed in the vault, saying she would feel better if they were locked safely away in her suite. He then told her that the hotel safe was more secure, that even a novice thief would have no trouble sneaking into a suite, than emptying a rooms vault of its valuables. She smiled demurely, he would have to deal with my husband first. Ah, he said, your husband, what an incredibly lucky man he is to have a wife as breathtakingly beautiful as you are.

She actually bought into the man’s eloquent charms, as he inflated her ego by continuing on by telling the lady she looked absolutely stunning in the gown she wore, and had her swirl around so he could admire it from all angles. As she did he caught her, steadying her, didn’t want you to fall young lady. She was sure he was lying, that he was “copping a feel” as her girlfriend’s would say, but strangely she did not care, and even found it rather nice.

He also went on to glowing offer a few remarks on her loveliness, which made her blush even deeper, setting off her gowns color even more so than she did already. And so, with her now putty in his hands, she quite willingly received his advice on locking up her jewels immediately, and graciously accepted offer to help her as she removed her bracelet’s, necklace and rings( except her friendship one) in preparation. Even the clips he had her removed, which she did, shaking her long hair so that it fell down in fetching curls alongside her beaming face. She was feeling very thankful for the charming gentleman’s obvious concern over her losing her jewels to some rotten miscreant.

My husband likes my hair down anyway she had said to him, what do you think, she asked, almost purring, as he accepted this stranger now as a kind friend. But than your beautiful earrings wouldn’t sparkle he said logically. Exactly she answered, giving one of them a flick, I’m glad you see it my way. Definitely, I always like a lady to display her jewels proudly; it’s what I tell my wife he added. Are those screw fastened he asked, lifting up the other earring, watching it sparkle. Yes she said, and began to undo them, the whole set is antique, very old fashioned she admitted, they have been in my husband’s family for generations. My wife won’t wear earrings that fasten that way; too afraid they will slip off, an vanish he said, showing concern. My husband worries also she said confidently, that’s why all of our jewels are insured to the hilt, she admitted in a practical voice.

After all of the shimmering jewelry she was wearing about her person had been removed and piled onto the small antique oak table, he looked her over, up and down. He then suggested removing the rhinestone brooch from her gown, which, when she reached down to her waist to do so, found it was missing, not even a tear was apparent in her fine shiny gown from where it had been dangling . She looked at him, deeply perplexed, he opened his palm, displaying the shimmery brooch, and said that “Le Sheppard” had twice the skill as he had. Still stunned, she watched him produced one of the leather cases from the pouch at his side, compliments of the hotel, he said, opening it up. She smiled winningly as he had her place her jewels carefully inside. All the while she thanked him so much for the hotels concern. Not feeling him take her brooch off of her very person had made her now jittery as to what a real thief could do. He told her to think nothing of it, and with a sharp bow, pointed to her room’s small vault, high in a corner, its steel door set with a combination wheel and metal handle.

She walked over and as she opened the safe he primly turned his back as to not witness the vaults combination. When she had it opened he turned and handed her the case, telling her it was compliments of the hotel. As she took it from him and placed it inside, nestling it amongst several other small black cases, he noticed her friendship ring, that’s very pretty miss, he complimented her. She raised her hand in front of him so he could receive a better view and appreciate the rings fiery brilliance.

He caught her hand, admiring the wickedly sparkling ring. They both admired it, the jewel feverishly exploding with firework like pinpricks of colour. You should place that in the safe also m’lady( she like him calling her that) No worries dear sir, I sleep with this one. He took hold of the ring, “Le Sheppard” is known for his ability to slip off ladies jewelry as she sleeps, especially pretty rings, and remember your brooch? She gave a small gulp as she remembered not even suspecting it had been taken, you right she said, why take chances. She moved it along her finger, but it held snug. I suggest you us a little soap and water, the ring should come right off and we can both sleep better knowing it is securely locked away. She obediently went into the bath and did as he suggested. When she came out he was waiting for her at attention next to the open safe, it appeared that he had not changed his position even the slightest. He pulled out a silk handkerchief and drying the her finger, then took the ring and wrapped it up, then handed it to her and she took it, feeling the rings weight in the wrapped handkerchief, and placed it on top of the case. He closed the vault and spun the combination and tried the door, it held fast. Then with a curt little bow, he let himself out , telling her to lock the door behind him, let no one else in but your husband.

Later when the husband returned she told him about the visitor. He thought that it was very wise for security to warn the guests, and have the ladies lock up all their jewels as a precaution for when the thief struck. Hope the catch the cheeky blighter. Nervy of him to break into peoples rooms as they slept and steal a ladies jewels. Happened to my Grand-mum once, though it was when she was staying at our country manor.

He than opened the vault, saw the new case and the handkerchief, added his silver watch to the pile , closed and relocked it securely.

They slept in late the next morning and it wasn’t until they were getting ready to head out for breakfast that the young wife opened the safe to retrieve her friendship ring that she discovered the silk handkerchief contained, not her valuable ring, but a small walnut from the assortment on the antique stand. Further, looking inside the case he had had her place her evening jewels, she discovered in was empty as were the small back cases that had held some more of her jewellery, not worn out the evening before. The only item of value in the vault was her husband’s silver watch.

The debonair faux detective had left the wife’s luxurious suite, vanishing into the night, with almost £63000 worth of fine jewelry.
