Gold miners can dig out of this hole
The overly battered sector is slowly lumbering toward a turnaround.
By Aaron Levitt
It's no secret at this point that gold miners are going through a rough patch.
After the precious metal's recent routing, firms that dig it out of the ground have fallen by the wayside, and they continue to drift lower as labor issues and political problems have raised production costs to reduce margins.
Some smaller miners have even crossed the critical "marginal cost of production" line, deeming many projects unprofitable.
Given the various headwinds, it's easy to see why the inverse Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) -- which basically shorts the sector, with some leverage -- has been one of the best-performing investments of 2013.
Yet, given just how hated the gold miners are, you have wonder if the risk/reward spectrum is starting to move into investor's favor.
After all, sometimes the best time to buy stocks is when nobody wants them.
The trio of woes still persist
As we reported before on InvestorPlace, miners are really starting to feel the pinch with regards to costs across several fronts. Many gold mining firms have experienced surging energy costs over the last few years -- to the tune of 500% for diesel fuel and 20% for electricity. Meanwhile, wages for mine labor, higher royalty rates and growing resource nationalization have also put the crimp on vital margins.
With spot gold prices now sitting in the $1,400 per ounce range, profitability at several of these firms have been absolutely destroyed. A prime example is industry stalwart Newmont Mining (NEM). At the end of April, the mega-miner reported that earnings per share were 31% lower than they were in the year-ago period. As such, shares of the gold miner now sit at four-year lows as investors have run for the hills.
… but there is hope
Now that an industry leader is beginning to struggle (and as long as it's clear that other miners are struggling similarly), why would anyone want to place their bets on the wounded sector?
It all comes down to cost controls and production stoppages.
Given that margins continue to be depressed, it seems like many in the gold mining industry are taking their cues from America's natural gas producers (see InvestorPlace). As hydraulic fracturing took hold across the nation, prices for the fuel plummeted last year and reached historic lows. When natural gas crossed below the $2 per MMBtu threshold, many producers were met with unprofitable wells. So what did they do? They stopped producing natural gas, idled wells and moved on to producing natural gas liquids and shale oil. Those efforts worked, and in time, prices for natural gas have risen.
Now, it looks like many of the gold miners are doing the same thing. Already, some have announced plans to review their operations in light of these narrowed margins. Both Australian-based Newcrest Mining (NCMGY) and Silver Lake Resources (SVLKF) have put forth strategies to rein in production at several of their operations, while South Africa's Gold Fields (GFI) has announced plans to cut capex spending on exploration, according to BDlive. Analysts expect that other miners -- both large and small -- will follow these firms' lead and cut production at high cost mines over the next few months.
It stands to reason that falling global gold production will eventually drive up prices for the metal in the face of a rising demand picture. While many institutional investors have stopped buying gold, central bank buying hasn't budged an inch. As nations like China, India and Russia (see InvestorPlace) have sought to diversify away from dollar- and euro-denominated assets, central bank gold buying has reached 50-year highs, according to the World Gold Council. It's silly to think that China isn't or won't be "loading up the truck" if gold prices fall any more.
Then there is the sector's "cheapness" to consider. The decline in metals and mining stocks has pushed their valuations down to attractive levels. After falling from a peak of 29.3 times estimated earnings back in September 2009, the MSCI World Materials Index currently can be had for a mere 14.1 multiple -- just under 14.5 for the broader MSCI World Index. Meanwhile, gold is nowhere near as cheap as it was back in 2009.
Time to buy?
As we've seen with the natural gas producers -- and are starting to see with some of the coal miners -- production cuts do help raise prices over time. And just like the natural gas producers and coal miners, the gold industry is going go through some pretty nasty growing pains over the next year or so. Remember that value investing is called time arbitrage for a reason.
Smaller junior miners could see themselves in pretty hot water as analysts at Canaccord Genuity estimate that more than 575 junior mining companies have less than $500,000 in cash and equivalents, according to their last reported balance sheets, as reported by the Financial Post. That means if you want to play the potential value in the miners, you need to think big. We're talking the Barricks (ABX), Newmonts and Goldcorps (GG) of the world as the potential shake-out starts.
Or better yet, since the NYSEArca Gold Bugs index -- which tracks more than a dozen of the world's largest gold companies -- is down roughly 35% year-to-date, a bet on the popular Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) might be in order.
Just keep in mind that we're in the first inning of a long ballgame, and it could take a while for this all to pan out. But if you have some free capital and are willing to take a longer-term view, the hated large-cap gold miners could be a bargain.
As of this writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
More from InvestorPlace
"After all, sometimes the best time to buy stocks is when nobody wants them."
Duh, that sounds like one of Buffet's herding quotes. I'd say ABX is a good bet since it's down over 50% and all the bad news is almost baked in unless the price gold goes much lower. Barrick has two properties, one in Argentina/Chile and the other in Dominican, that could product 1-2 million ounces of gold a year at less than $900 per ounce all in costs. I know Chile stop development on their side but that only looks like 4-6 months and $30 million more in envio costs.
That's what I'm kinda thinking; But I don't have no stinkin' Auto-rebalancing...I have to do it myself.
And these friggin Gold shares had better start improving...
I told myself a year/two ago to stop accumulating...Didn't want what we use to....Didn't stop.
But we only have about half as much, and we shall see.??

President Barack Obama stirred with an unexpectedly powerful inaugural address – a second effort that far surpassed his first. He summoned great themes of American history to argue cogently for his second-term agenda. Now he has a chance to deliver a State of the Union address that improves on those of his first term, too.
The key to success? Presidents still have the power of surprise. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "I am like a cat. I make a quick stroke, and then I relax." As in his inaugural, Obama should surprise us – this time with new policies and sharp specificity. On the budget, democracy reform and immigration, the president stands well positioned.
Forget the Super Bowl, or even the Oscars. For us policy wonks and ex-speechwriters, this is the biggest event – the time to crack open a beer, microwave the Buffalo chicken wings and settle down in front of the TV for a siege of viewing.
For the State of the Union remains among America's few civic rituals. It is the one time every year that citizens can hear our leader talk, at length and directly, about where he would take the country. Presidents are ubiquitous nowadays. The idea of an Oval Office address, with everyone hanging breathlessly on the first "My fellow Americans," is a relic of the Walter Cronkite era. But television channels across the dial still all tune in to the State of the Union, a rare remaining "roadblock." And the public still watches. The 2012 speech, largely devoid of controversy, drew 38 million viewers.
I worked with President Bill Clinton on his State of the Union addresses. Clinton relished this combination of politics, policy and showmanship. He prepared for weeks. In fact, he used the speeches to organize his agencies and launch his policy agenda.

Tourism Workers in the UK have the following characteristics
• Workers in tourism have a younger age profile than those in non-tourism industries, particularly in the 16-29 age band which accounts for 39 per cent of workers in tourism, just over a million people.
• 14 per cent of workers in tourism industries are from non-white ethnic groups compared to just under 10 per cent in other industries.
• Nearly 14 per cent of workers in tourism are non-UK nationals, compared to just over 8 per cent in other industries.
• 27 per cent of workers in tourism have a higher education qualification compared to 40 per cent in non tourism industries
Tourism makes a significant contribution to employment in the UK with 2.7 million people employed in main or second jobs in tourism characteristic industries in 2011, 9.1 per cent of the total for all industries. In this release we describe the characteristics of those people who are employed in tourism characteristic industries, for example age profiles, ethnicity, nationality and educational attainment.
Statistics in this paper are presented by four summary groups for tourism characteristic industries that relate to
accommodation services,
food and beverage serving activities,
passenger transport, vehicle rental and travel agencies and
cultural activities, sports activities, recreational and exhibition / conference activities.
In this section The Annual Population Survey from 2011 is used to illustrate the differences in age and gender between workers in the tourism and non-tourism industries. In Figure 1 we can see that there are much higher proportions of younger age groups working in tourism as compared to non tourism industries. Of the 2.7 million people working in tourism industries, over a million of them were under 30 years of age. This is almost 40 per cent of employment in the industries compared to 22 per cent in other industries. This is offset by the smaller proportions of those aged 40 and above working in tourism as compared to the rest of the economy.
The trends identified in Figure 1 can be further analysed by tourism industry grouping and we can clearly see from Figure 2 that the accommodation and food and drink sectors have very high proportions of those aged under 30 in comparison to non tourism industries – more than double in the case of food and drink.
In Figure 3 below, we analyse the age distribution across the tourism industry groupings by region and country of the UK. There are a high proportion of younger age groups in tourism across all regions with the exception of London where tourism employment seems to be more evenly distributed across the age ranges with a larger proportion of workers in the 30-44 age band. This could be a result of a different profile of tourism employment in London with higher proportions of workers in passenger transport activities for instance. This has been shown in a previous release about the Geography of Tourism Employment.
In Figure 4 we can see that there are differences in the gender split between tourism industry groupings even if the totals for non-tourism and all tourism industries is the same for male and female employment. There are more females working in accommodation and food and beverage serving activities but in passenger transport activities the reverse is true with more than 70 per cent of the workforce male.
The Annual Population Survey can be further examined to determine the levels of employment by ethnicity and nationality in tourism. Figure 5 shows how ethnicity is split across the tourism industry groupings. Overall, 14 per cent of tourism industry employment is composed of ethnic minorities compared to just under 10 per cent elsewhere. The food and beverage serving activities and passenger transport activities have the most significant levels of ethnic minority employment with Asian or Asian British ethnic groups comprising the largest component of this.
Figure 6 shows that tourism industries employ non UK workers to a greater extent than other industries. It particularly highlights the high proportions of workers of recent EU accession state (A12) nationalities in accommodation activities and of non-EU nationalities in food and beverage serving activities.
In Figure 7 we examine in more detail which countries non-UK nationals working in tourism originate from. The chart shows that 15 per cent of non-UK nationals originate from Poland and the top 10 nationalities working in the sector account for 50 per cent of all non-UK nationals working in tourism characteristics industries.
We can examine the qualifications levels of those employed in tourism using the Annual Population Survey for the UK and in Figure 8 we can see the highest qualification level of those employed in the different tourism industry categories. Cultural and sport activities have the highest levels of degree level qualifications amongst workers in tourism. In other sectors of tourism, however, there are low levels of higher education and proportionately more workers with no qualifications. This is the pattern that we see when looking at the tourism industries as a whole versus non-tourism industries where 40 per cent of workers have a degree or above compared to 27 per cent in tourism industries.
Figure 9 shows the regional distribution of educational attainment in the tourism industries and it is clear from the figure that London has a disproportionately high level of workers in the sector with a degree or equivalent or higher education qualification. Conversely, regions such as Northern Ireland, the West Midlands and the North East have higher than average levels of workers with no qualifications.

Short Guidance
If you're using our Short Guidance service for the first time, we recommend reading through the information below to ensure you make the most of your time with the Careers Consultant...
What to expect...
"Short Guidance" is a confidential, fifteen minute 1-1
discussion with a Careers Consultant. It can be used to discuss a range
of issues such as:
- making decisions about life after UCL, e.g. choosing between work, further study or taking time out
- exploring options related to your degree
- planning your next steps to get where you want to be
- exploring how to gain skills or work experience linked to longer term career goals while at UCL
- changing or leaving your course
- how to market your degree, skills and/or experience to employers*
- what to expect at interviews or assessment centres**
- feedback on aptitude test results
and more...
Depending on the nature of your discussion, the Careers Consultant may refer you for a more in-depth Long Guidance session, (of up to 30 minutes or an hour depending on the nature of the query), after this initial appointment.
*Please note: Short Guidance appointments cannot be used to review a CV or application as we provide a separate Applications Advice service for this.
**For those who've been invited to a real interview, we do also provide Practice Interview appointments.
Appointment Availability and Booking
Short Guidance sessions run at the same time every week:
- Monday to Thursday: 10am - 12pm (term time only*)
- Monday to Thursday: 2pm - 4.45pm (all year round*)
Appointments are available at 15 minute intervals during these times.
PLEASE NOTE: Short Guidance does NOT run on Fridays.
Bookings can be made online up to 7 days in advance using your My Careers Service account. Once logged in, use the 'I want to... / Make Appointment' option and select 'UCL Short Guidance' from the list of options to check appointment availability. If you are unable to book online or would prefer to book by phone or in person at UCL Careers, please see our Contact Details. You will need your student ID card when booking.
Multiple Bookings: Due to high demand, students can only book one appointment at a time. If you do book multiple appointments, only the earliest appointment will be recognised and any bookings on subsequent dates will be automatically deleted.
Please also note: As appointment slots are
pre-bookable in advance, they may not be
available at short notice / for same day booking if demand is high.
However, appointments may be cancelled at short notice so it's worth
checking availability regularly through your My Careers Service account.
*Please check the main UCL Website for details of term dates and College closure days.
What we don't / can't cover...
Careers Guidance is an impartial process and a Careers Consultant won't tell you "what to do" or make decisions for you.
A copy of a recent CV can be useful, (though not essential), if you're exploring options / next steps with the Consultant as it will quickly give them an overview of your work / education history.
However, Short Guidance sessions cannot be used to check applications for a specific purpose. Please visit our Applications Advice page if you're applying for something specific and have a CV, cover letter, personal statement or any other form of application that you need help with.
How to prepare...
Doing a little research in advance and answering many of the frequently asked questions yourself will allow you to focus on more specific issues during the time you have with the Careers Consultant.
To make the most of your 15 minute Short Guidance session, we therefore strongly recommend making use of the resources suggested in the relevant section of our Help With... pages.
Who Will I See?
We have a team of 19 professional Careers Consultants, all of whom can provide guidance on a wide range of areas so initial Short Guidance discussions would be with whoever is on duty when you book.
Where relevant, some queries will be referred on to a Long Guidance appointment, (up to 30 minutes or an hour depending on the nature of the query), which may be booked with a specific Careers Consultant if appropriate.
If you are late or unable to attend...
Cancellations can be made up to 1 hour before your appointment time through your My Careers Service account so that it can be offered to another student.
Late arrival: If you call in advance to tell us you're running late, we will hold the appointment for 5 minutes so that you can make use of the remaining 10 minutes on arrival.
However if you are more than 5 minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled so that later appointments are not affected and you will be asked to re-book for a later
If you book and miss 3 appointments, your My Careers Service account will be deactivated to ensure you don't book and waste any more. You will then need to book in person at the UCL Careers office for any subsequent appointments and events this academic year.
Please note: Due to the nature of 1-1 guidance, some appointments can last slightly longer than 15 minutes which means we cannot guarantee that you will always be seen exactly on time. However, you should still avoid arriving late so that your appointment isn't cancelled.
Access to other 1-1 Appointments...
In addition to running department specific talks and events, all of our Careers Consultants will run 1-1 appointments throughout term time in the departments that they have responsibility for.
Timings and availability will be different in each department - please see the information on Departmental Support for more details.
To find out more about our Careers Consultants, their backgrounds and their Departmental responsibilities at UCL, please see the information about Our Team.

Elizabeth's Favorite Posts of 2010
Best of 2010: Editor's Choice
This year, I discovered what I believe is my perfect kitchen, made the best ice cream I've ever made, and found an approachable, inspiring food blog that frequently makes me laugh out loud. Also: I had a baby, who pulled up for one of the first times by planting her hands on an open, 400-degree oven door. So, you know, you win some you lose some. Let's take a look at the good stuff!
My Favorite Posts from The Kitchn
- Could This Be Your Perfect Kitchen?. The day I posted this, my mom called to say, "You know you can't have that kitchen in a New York City apartment." And she's mostly right. But that's the point of inspirational photos; you take certain elements and find a way to make them yours. I'm still contemplating navy cabinets.
- How to Grill Pizza. I was so intimidated by grilled pizza—for no reason. I made several, with delicious success, one night this summer (FYI yellow squash, goat cheese, and caramelized onion was my favorite).
- Cinnamon Cream Cheese Breakfast Bars. I'm a Southerner, and yet I rarely break out the butter-laden, Junior League-ish recipes I grew up with on the site. That's why I'm loving our new Atlanta contributor Nealey Dozier. Her recipes make me drool right on the keyboard.
- Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Banana Chunks. My favorite recipe I created this year.
- Smoked Turkey & Dinner for 12: Our Thanksgiving Report. I read this and immediately told Faith and Emma that I'm coming to Columbus next year. This is just an exquisite spread and such a gift to their guests.
My Favorite Posts from Around the Web
- Letter of Agreement, from Dinner: A Love Story. Jenny Rosenstrach's recipes are easy and awesome (I've made several), but her smart, witty writing is why I read the site. Her equally funny husband Andy chimes in on this post, which had me in tears.
- Fridays with Dash: Batman Loves Burrata, from Dash and Bella. Phyllis Grant's photos are spectacular, and I love that she trusts her 3-year-old with a knife. I hope I involve my children this much in the kitchen someday.
- Dinner Party Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, from Oh Happy Day. This isn't the first time I've wished I was one of Jordan Ferney's lucky friends (this is).
- A Short Little Post, from Fly Through Our Window. Ok, this one post is not fully representative of this site, which I love and which is full of sweet family stories, amazing photos, and impressive craft projects. But I NEED the juicer pictured here, and whoever can tell me where to find it will get a hand-written thank-you note.
- Kate and Andy Spade's House, at The Selby. This house tour made the blog rounds in a major way last month, but I love every inch of it. The kitchen is bright, lived in, and eclectic—a perfect pre-war NYC kitchen.

It is a beautiful kitchen, but only for someone young and agile. Aged hip and knee joints makes getting into lower cabinets sheer torture. Even those with joint replacements don't find that easy. Why doesn't someone design kitchens that are elder-friendly? Or handicap-friendly? Maybe pheumatic risers for large drawers or boxes, basically, that rotate like a ferris wheel would be the ticket.
My oven door only locks when I set it to the self-cleaning cycle. Your daughter's burned hands made me wince! Are her hands OK?

Friday freebies: Ice cream, shakes and limeade
Wal-Mart won't make you scream to get free ice cream, but you'll have to RSVP if you want a free Chick-fil-A sandwich.
Thank goodness it's Friday and time for Friday food deals and freebies.
Some of last week's deals are still good, including Taco Bell's $2 meals, a promotion that's likely to last for a while.
Wal-Mart is celebrating the "Joy of Ice Cream" Saturday, May 22, something we certainly agree is worth celebrating. During the event, you can get a free ice cream sundae while supplies last. The store will offer Breyers and Blue Bunny ice cream and frozen yogurt, with Hershey's chocolate syrup, Reddi-wip and fresh strawberries. Most stores will celebrate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., but you can check the hours for your local store here.
Otherwise, this is a big week for free drinks. No, they're not the "happy hour" kind, though local restaurants and casual chains are offering lots of those deals.
- Bing: Best fast-food shakes
Here are this week's freebies and deals, which we found with some help from our friends at Cities on the Cheap:
- The first 500,000 customers who print out and use this coupon will get a free Limeade Sparkler at Taco Bell. The coupon is good through July 11 or until 500,000 coupons have been redeemed.
- Here's a buy-one-get-one-free deal that works for solo shoppers. Sonic is offering BOGO shakes and malts through June 27. You can either get both shakes at the same time, or you can buy one shake and get a coupon for a second shake that you can use until July 15.
- Orange Julius has a coupon (.pdf file) that allows you to buy one smoothie and get one for $1 through June 30. One coupon per visit.
- Barnes & Noble has a bunch of coupons, including one that allows you to buy one Frappuccino and get one free at the Starbucks cafes inside the stores. The coupon is not good at other Starbucks locations.
- Philly Pretzel Factory is offering customers a free cheesesteak pretzel from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, May 24.
- Chick-fil-A is introducing a spicy chicken sandwich June 7 and will give away a limited number between May 31 and June 5. To get the deal, you have to RSVP on the website.
Remember that not all local restaurants participate in all national promotions, so you may want to check ahead.

Celebrity Fashion: JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT Sizzles In Gold Plunging Hervé Léger Bandage Dress At "The Client List" Launch
JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT sizzled in her gold plunging Hervé Léger bandage dress at "The Clients List" Launch Party held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood last Wednesday.
Check her out:
Jennifer Love Hewitt definitely looked hot in her cleavage-baring dress from Hervé Léger at the launch party of her new series, "The Client List" last Wednesday. The single and available actress, who portrays a masseuse slash call girl in the show, seemed to be in character as she sashayed confidently on the red carpet in her figure-hugging outfit with sequins that was as bold as the plot lines of her sexy new series.
The stunning brunette, who is also the lead of the series, kept the attention on her dress and curves by keeping her hair and shoes simple, complimenting it with very loose curls and nude pumps.
The former "Ghost Whisperer" star finished her look with thick false lashes on her upper and lower lids, minimal brown shadow, a peach flush and nude matte lips.
Jennifer looked sexy as usual. We only hope that she stayed away from too much foundation and maybe added a little more fabric to her tight dress as it was creating distracting skin folds around the side boob area… Not flattering. Donning a more formal dress wouldn't have hurt too, for the star of the show never needs to grab any more attention.
What do you think of Jennifer's red carpet look?

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) The Green Bay Packers had three players named last night to the N-F-C team for the Pro Bowl. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was picked as a starter for his conference, while center Jeff Saturday and linebacker Clay Matthews were listed as reserves.
A year ago, Green Bay had seven Pro Bowl picks – but that team didn't have the extensive injuries that this year's team has been facing. Packers' Randall Cobb and guard Josh Sitton were named as first alternates – which means they could make it to Hawaii as injury replacements.
Rodgers, the league M-V-P a year ago, is heading to his third Pro Bowl after throwing for 39-hundred-30 yards and 35 touchdowns in 15 games with just eight interceptions. His passer rating is 106-point-two – 16 points lower than his record rating in his M-V-P season of 2011.
Matthews was the first Packer to get a Pro Bowl nod in each of his first four seasons in the league. He has a dozen sacks this season.
Saturday's selection appears to be more of a lifetime achievement award. He was replaced at center last week by Evan Dietrich-Smith – but he's wrapping up a possible Hall-of-Fame career which netted him five Pro Bowls with Indianapolis.
The Pro Bowl will be played January 27th in Honolulu. Those who play in the Super Bowl a week later will not be in Hawaii.

Mom-to-be JESSICA SIMPSON showed off her gigantic baby bump on the red carpet at the NBC Universal 2012 Winter TCA Press Tour All-Star Party in a skintight sequined dress.
Looks like she's ready to pop, doesn't she?
It may have taken Jessica a long time to admit her pregnancy, but now that she has, she's making up for lost time by working her baby bump like crazy. And why shouldn't she? The first-time mom, who's obviously sporting that gorgeous pregnancy glow, cradled her enormous bump on the red carpet and flashed her pearly whites like there's no tomorrow.
Jessica looked every bit the yummy mommy in a sparkling black sequined dress and black studded pumps, which she complemented with smokey eyes and glossy pink lips, and lustrous waves.

Novak, Brenda.
Adult Fiction NOVAK
Summary: Virgil Skinner served fourteen years for a murder he didn't commit. He's finally been exonerated, but he can't escape the gang he joined in order to survive. They'll do anything to keep him from telling what he knows. And if they can't get to Virgil they'll go after his sister and her kids. The California Department of Corrections needs someone to infiltrate another gang, one that's taking control of the state's most notorious supermax. Virgil agrees to do it under an alias-in exchange for his sister's protection. Chief Deputy Warden Peyton Adams is opposed to having Virgil in her prison. How will she protect him if things go bad? Besides, she's far too attracted to him; she might even be falling in love with him. That makes her all the more desperate to keep him safe-and it gives him someone else to lose.

The man was driving a Ford Explorer XLS around 2:25 p.m. northbound on the 900 block of E Street when he somehow veered off the right side of the road, jumped a curb and struck the pole located between Ninth Street and Gillette Alley, according to Tracy police officer Octavia Lopez.
His name wasn't released at the scene, because he had not been formally charged with a crime as of 3 p.m.
"We need to interview him more about what happened before we charge him," Lopez said. "We don't know if there were distractions or what caused this yet."
Officers administered a field sobriety test at the scene, during which the man had to follow the tip of a pen with his eyes. He was overheard telling officers, "I started drinking this morning."
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. was responding to assess the damage to the pole — which was moved about four to six inches at the base and showed signs of splintering. It did not appear that power was cut to any nearby businesses or homes.
It's unclear if it will need to be replaced.
Lopez said the man's name could be released later in the day. No other passengers or vehicles were involved, he said.

Preparing For The Olympic Mud Swimming Event 1 day ago
Just like a pig.
"This is such a bad idea." This sentence has led to more nutshots, epic fails, and hospital trips then all the beer in the world. Shopping cart jumps, epic rope swings, and ladder jump back flips all seem like bad ideas from the start. But some people never back down from a challenge. Instead these brave (and horribly injured) souls continue on risking almost certain harm in the process. Some stunts consist of truly trying, others consist of nothing more than a bad idea with no hope of success. These stunts have a home at Break.
Just like a pig.
Notice the guy in the car didn't actually puke.
No offense dude, but I think literally anyone with a head can do that.
No one likes you.
Is that Robert Irvine from the Food Network?
The dumbassery is strong with this one.
Nice try, Lumpy.
That probably hurt.
Just shake your head and move on.
Just work on the road, please.
Man, you are not making the South look good.
Maybe he was sleep climbing.
Great, now the table has a taste for blood.
Dude, it almost killed you dude. Duuuuude.
Watch out for possums.
So, so stupid.
Oh, did that hurt and/or blind you? Gee, wonder how.
Lots of pain in this video.
Does anyone know if there's a "right" way to do this?

At least someone called him an idiot before it even happened.

It's Valentine's Day on a school night so you may end up ordering in and snuggling up with a romantic movie, but which one to choose? A British online movie rental company LOVEFiLM examined couples watching romantic movies for neurological responses.
From thewest.comau (An Australian news site on Yahoo):
"When a couple watch a romance together each person mistakenly attributes a part of the adrenaline buzz produced by the film to the presence of their partner," said neuropsychologist David Lewis, of Mindlab International, which analysed the reactions.
"Couples are far more likely to touch, hold, hug and kiss one another than couples watching a less emotional film," Dr Lewis said.
"LOVEFiLM editor Helen Cowley added: "Our research shows that romantic movies can cause a romantic reaction, which is why snuggling up with a carefully chosen film is the perfect way to spend time together this Valentine's Day."
"The Top 10
1. Love Actually
2. The Notebook
3. Wall-E
4. Notting Hill
5. Dirty Dancing"
(Check out the story for numbers six through 10)
Do you agree with this list? Do you buy this study? Do you think couples are more touchy, feely when an emotional movie is on? What movies would you rank as the most romantic?

Maybe I'm different – okay, that's a given – but I much prefer the "romantic" movies with the "happy ever after" endings. The Notebook was a great movie but I don't want to watch that with my wife on Valentine's Day. I'd much rather watch Pretty Woman (even though she was a hooker and trying to live on her own instead of living off the government) or Sleepless In Seattle or, one of my favorites, You've Got Mail. These, to me, better represent romantic movies as there is happiness at the end which is the feeling I want when watching with my wife.

It's interesting that a cartoon is on some peoples list, but I must say that opening scene in UP is just…wow. We took our daughter to see it without asking anyone about it. I swear when that scene was going on you could hear a rat piss on cotton it got so quiet in the theater, then "sniff" "sniff", "sniff". That's right some of the adults were crying. It was so touching.

Yeh, at least #1 is right. It's a Christmas tradition at our house to invite relatives and friends to sip wine, nibble cheese, and watch "Love Actually". The music is great, too. You can buy the soundtrack on CD.

Gone With the Wind, yes!
Music and Lyrics
Waterloo Bridge
Dirty Dancing
Love, Actually (one of my top 5 moves for ANYTHING!)
You've Got Mail
Sleepless in Seattle
Shakespeare in Love — LOVE Judy Dench and Colin Firth!)
Pride and Prejudice — the BBC miniseries, NOT the recent movie – I'm a purist!
Philadelphia Story/High Society
Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn, please!)
Somewhere in Time – Jane Seymour was so beautiful!
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Sense and Sensibility – Emma Thompson was fabulous!
TItanic — even though we know how it ends :-)
Roman Holiday
It Happened One Night – Clark Gable at his snarky best :-)
While You Were Sleeping
The Proposal
An Affair to Remember / Love Affair (not the latest version, but the first version)
Bull Durham – love the list of things he believes in!
Groundhog Day – the pinching at the end: "Stay . . . staaaayyyy . . ."
Murphy's Romance – "How old are you?"
Overboard (Goldie Hawn defending her "children")
Pretty Woman
Notting Hill (yeah, basically anything with Hugh Grant :-)
Bridget Jones
The American President ("Oh, just your usual first date stuff . . . ")
I think I am the only person in the Western Hemisphere to really, really dislike "The Notebook" — I HATE that movie. I hate the end, I hate the caterwauling, I hate what's-his-name's lack of go-get-her-ness. The book was ok, but this is one adaptation that I absolutely loathe. Go figure. :-)

Groundhog Day. If you can't find something romantic in a guy who is willing to re-live what he considers the worst day of the year over and over for months on end voluntarily learning to play the piano, sculpt, and other things all to please the woman he has unexpectedly fallen in love with, then you really missed the heart of this movie. Go see it. You won't be disappointed.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Sewage overflows were being diverted into local waterways in Metro Milwaukee Wednesday morning.
That's after heavy rains of up to 3.75 inches filled up the area's Deep Tunnel sewage system.
Kevin Shafer, who heads Milwaukee's Sewerage District, said the overflows were diverted to preserve space in the Deep Tunnel – and to prevent the excess sewage from backing up into basements.
Two large sewage treatment plants were still working, so a good part of the combined material from the sanitary and storm sewers was still being disinfected before going into Lake Michigan.
Wednesday morning's combined overflow is the first for the Milwaukee system in almost two years. The district's sewage permit allows six overflows a year – but only on days when heavy rainstorms hamper the system's ability to keep up.
Milwaukee rain gauges recorded the highest rainfalls in the state Tuesday.
Freezing rain and snow hit much of the northern part of Wisconsin overnight, and an icy wintry mix is expected to continue through Thursday.

Work-experience unemployment rate in 2007
December 23, 2008
At 9.5 percent in 2007, the "work-experience unemployment rate" (those looking for work during the year as a percent of those who worked or looked for work during the year) was 0.4 percentage point higher than in 2006.
The 2007 rate is relatively low by historical standards, but is above the series low of 8.6 percent reached in 2000.

Critical Review by Roberta Rubenstein
SOURCE: "Louise Erdrich Revisits the Complex World of the Chippewa," in Chicago Tribune Books, November 14, 1993, pp. 3, 11.
In the following review, Rubenstein praises Erdrich's up-dated edition of Love Medicine.
Louise Erdrich is not the first author to return to a previously published work of fiction to amend it. The most well-known of such revisers, Henry James, published altered versions of his stories and novels—often accompanied by eloquent prefaces explaining the revisions—years after their original publication. Presumably, writers tinker with works already in print because events continue to develop and characters continue to pursue the lives their author has invented for them.
The latter seems especially true for Erdrich, whose first novel, Love Medicine, was originally published in 1984 and honored with the National Book Critics Circle Award that year. Returning readers, unlikely to have forgotten such vivid...

A Phoenix woman was jailed on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after an emaciated and weakened dog was found hanging from a door knob with only its back legs touching the floor of the woman's apartment.
Phoenix police initially were investigating a call of domestic violence at the apartment near 19th and Peoria avenues about 6:30 p.m. Saturday when they saw the female Pit bull with a large, linked chain around its neck and attached to the door knob, the dog's head hanging to its chest and in distress, Officer James Holmes said.
Corina Ann Martinez, 28, originally told police she restrained the dog because it was vicious. She said she was watching the pet for someone else, Holmes said.
Officers said the pet appeared to be severely malnourished and bones were visible under the skin.
The approximately 2-year-old dog, named Ryder, was taken to an emergency animal clinic, where a veterinarian said the damage to the dog's organs might require it to be euthanized.
Ryder was then taken to the Arizona Humane Society, where the dog was in critical condition, but eating and slowly progressing, Holmes said.
Martinez was interviewed again on Monday and was unable to tell officers how long the dog had been chained and hanging from the door or when it had last eaten, Holmes said.
Officers later determined the dog belonged to Martinez, that she made no attempts to care for the dog.
She was arrested and booked into jail on the felony animal cruelty charge.
Holmes said the investigation was continuing.

Lord-Lieutenants are appointed by the Queen, on the advice of the Prime Minister, for each county in England and Wales, and each area in Scotland (other than the cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow where the Lord Provost is, by virtue of his office, Lord-Lieutenant for that city)
See Offices of Lord-Lieutenant
As personal representative of the Queen, the prime duty of the Lord-Lieutenant is to maintain the dignity of the Queen and fulfil key functions such as arranging visits by members of the Royal family, presenting medals and honours, taking part in civic activities, liaising with local units of the armed forces and leading the local magistracy. The post of Lord-lieutenant is non-political, unpaid and held until retirement at the age of 75.
Although assigned no place in the Table of Precedence for England and Wales, by Royal Warrant in 1904 a Lord-Lieutenant (or Lieutenant) when so acting, has precedence within his own County immediately after the Sovereign (except, sometimes, on civic premises).
The full title is Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant and this may be abbreviated to H.M. Lord-Lieutenant or Lord-Lieutenant of (County). Note that the title Lord-Lieutenant always includes the hyphen. The title applies to both male and female appointees.
How to Address a Lord-Lieutenant
The recommended style of address is as follows (although it is advisable to check the appropriate Lord-Lieutenant's office for preferred styles of address in each case, especially for formal printed items**):
|Beginning of letter
|Dear Lord-Lieutenant or usual style of address in private capacity
|End of letter
|Yours sincerely
|The Lord-Lieutenant of (County)
|Joint Invitation
|The Lord-Lieutenant of (County) and Lady Pilkington
|H.M Lord-Lieutenant of the County of XXXX
|Verbal communication
|By name, or Lord-Lieutenant
|Reference in a speech
|My Lord-Lieutenant
If the Lord-Lieutenant is also a peer he would be addressed as follows:
The Earl of Cirencester
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire
** Details of Lord-Lieutenant's offices may be found here or via the website of the relevant County or City Council

Now Google and WordPress play better together
This is the subject line of an email I got from Google Adsense as I am a member who receives updates. I want to share some of their stats with you.
I hope you find that Google paid out 9 Billion dollars to their publishers astounding. All of this money was paid out because people decided to put Google ads on their blogs so that when their visitors click on those ads, they earn few dollars everytime. You tell me, loking at these stats and numbers, do you think it is worth it to build a business that makes you money from Google Adsense and many other revenue streams ??
I think it is which is why I had developed The Affiliate Rollout Program. It was to help people build an affiliate marketing business through a blog as it is the one and best way to build a long lasting affiliate marekting business.
The Affiliate Rollout (TAR) guides you through the entire process of building and establishing a name for yourself online. This program equips you with the knowledge and know how so that you can build a successful affiliate business making you passive income from several souces which includes Google adsense, CPA networks, ClickBank, and much more.
Aside from me talking about TAR. What pisses me off the most is that MARKETERS are always too quick to talk down anything only in the favor of selling whatever scam they are trying to push at you.
Think about it, how many times have you heard the phrase: "GOOGLE ADSENSE IS DEAD" or "GOOGLE ADSENSE NO LONGER PROFITABLE" ?? I hear it everyday in the internet marketing world.
You tell me, is Google Adsense paying out $9,000,000,000 in 2013 is a sign of them being dead or not profitable ?? Didn't think so.
So as a warning, next time, listen the logic and common sense in your head instead of the lies that marketers feed you.
Talk soon.

I found myself approaching a lake, the blue water shimmering under the sun. It was the lake Frank and I had our wedding at.
I sat on the edge of the pier, my bare feet grazing the surface of the silky water. I watched the ripples fade out. I used to sit on that pier when I was a kid, needing time to myself. It provided what I needed. Peace and quiet, a beautiful view and the comforting sound of water.
I sat at the lake for hours, watching the sun rise over my head and down again. It was getting dark quick, the water reflecting the sunset.
I started humming to myself, keeping my mind busy for a moment. I hummed louder, soon adding words to it softly. I hadn't noticed I was humming anything in particular but when those words passed my lips, I realized I was singing Beautiful Day. Some of the words fit my situation.
'Gerard?' Someone called. I didn't turn, nor did I stop singing. They sat at my side, listening.
'Can we talk?' I recognized the voice as Bob. He was idly picking at a loose thread on his shirt.
'I don't want to talk.' I whispered, still singing the song in my head. Bob sighed and pressed further.
'Gerard, this is important. You can't just walk out on your husband, even more so during this time.' He said, still pulling on that thread.
'He told me he wants to die, Bob. He wants to leave me. I did nothing more than what he wants to do, except I can walk back in.' I whispered, forcing back the flood of tears.
'Come on, man. He's going through some rough shit. You can't expect him to be the same chirpy, annoying Frank before the crash.' He said, staring at me. I kept my head down, keeping my eyes from my blond friend. Something about his eyes made me cave. He'd gotten me agree to stop drinking by looking me in the eye and speaking calmly, almost like he was hypnotizing me.
'I know. But that cuts really deep. I can't imagine life without him and all he wants is to kill himself… I can't, Bob. I really can't go back if he's going to do that.' I whispered again, some tears slipping out.
'Gee… Look. Mikey called me and told me to come over, so I did. Frank's already attacked Alicia for trying to touch him, smashed most of the cups and, to make things worse, it's time for his medication. No-one can go near him without copping a fist to the face. Now, there are only 2 options. 1: Go home, calm your fucking husband before he kills someone and be a man. Frank loves you with all his heart. Right now, he's crying for you.
Or 2: Let him go on a rampage, work himself up. Don't get him to take his medication and possibly let him die while you sit out here, looking at the stupid lake feeling sorry for yourself. What's it gonna be?' I sat there dumbfounded. Out of all the things I thought that would have come from Bob's mouth, it wasn't that.
'Can I just sit here for a while longer? I need time to think.'
'No. Frank is stressing and attacking your brother and his wife. Get your fat arse up off the pier and get in the car.' He grabbed my arm, dragging me towards his car. I let my feet drag, making it harder on him. I tried to swing my arms, to get him to loosen his grip but it didn't work.
'Gee! Stop being so difficult!' He groaned, still dragging my "fat arse" across the grass.
'I'm not fat. Neither is my arse.' I said. Bob sighed and kept dragging me. The man had too much pride to apologize.
He tossed me in the car, slamming the door shut as I pulled my legs in. I sat up in the chair, buckling in before Bob had even gotten in. I knew Bob too well. He was in a badd mood, therefore he would drive like a maniac.
On the way home, Bob had hit 2 dogs and a bunny rabbit, nearly collided with a semi trailer and narrowly missed 12 mail boxes. I cowered in my seat every time he turned a corner, every time he skipped lanes or turned into oncoming traffic.
I sighed in relief when he pulled into my driveway, slamming on the brakes just in time. I got out of the car, walking up to the front end. There was at least one inch between Mikey's car and Bob's.
'Stop staring at the fucking car's and come on!' Bob yelled, grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulled me over the bonnet of the car. If I hadn't have known Bob so long, I would have been terrified.
He dragged me over the lawn and through the front door even though I wasn't fighting him anymore. The second my body was in the door, Bob had dropped me and Mikey had picked me up. He pulled me through the house, down to the spare room. On the way, I saw Alicia. Both of her eyes were blackened, blood stains on her shirt and an icepack on her nose.
I stood outside the spare room. I could hear Frank crying loudly, loud crashes of, what was most likely, my art supplies. Mikey stood at my side, pushing my shoulder lightly, egging me to go in.
I opened the door slowly, looking back for some guidance. Mikey had already disappeared down the hallway, leaving me alone with my pissed off husband. Frank stood facing the window, Pansy in his left hand. He hadn't heard me enter the room so I made sure I closed the door quietly, the last thing I wanted was his precious guitar getting thrown at me head.
'Frankie?' I said quietly, a few feet from him. His head snapped up and he spun on the spot. He looked at me for a second then fell to the ground, hugging his knees to his chest and sobbing. His guitar fell to the ground as well, making a loud cracking sound. I walked slowly to his side, kneeling down. He didn't move or show any sign that he noticed me.
'Frankie, please calm down.' I whispered, stroking the hair from his face.
'I-I…. I d-don't w-want-t a d-divorce!' He cried, curling up tighter. I wrapped one arm around his shoulder, pulling him closer to me.
'We're not getting divorced. I promised I was going to be here with you till the end, and I will. I'm so sorry, baby. I never meant to run out, you just scared me so much and I love you.' I rambled, trying to get everything out in the short amount of time Frank wasn't making a noise.
'W-We're n-not-t get-tting a d-divorce?' He stuttered out, looking up at me with swollen eyes. I wiped his tears away, kissing the top of his head.
'No, Frankie. I've only just got you back. I'm not letting you go just yet.' I whispered. He curled into my arms, wiping his tears on my shirt.
'I-I'm s-sorry. I-I d-didn't m-mean I-I want-ted to leave y-you. It-ts just th-that-t it's v-very h-hard t-to b-be happy. I-I l-love y-you.' He said. I nodded and kissed his head again. I rocked us back and forth for a minute, just until Frank had stopped crying.
'C-Can I-I t-take my p-pills n-now?' He asked.
'Of course, baby.' I unwrapped myself from him and stood up, offering my hand to him. He shakily got to his feet, grabbing hold of me so he wouldn't fall. It took a few minutes just to get to the door so I picked him up, bridal style.
As I opened the door, I heard Alicia squeak and feet shuffle. Frank hid his face in my chest, clearly embarrassed. Alicia was hiding behind Mikey when we came out, relaxing a little when she saw me.
'Baby, I think you should apologize to Alicia.' I whispered in his ear. He lifted his head up, staring at Ali.
'S-Sorry, A-Alicia. I-I d-didn't m-mean to hurt-t you.' He whispered, still clinging to me. She nodded, still using Mikey as a shield.
I carried Frank into the kitchen, sitting him on the bench. All the mess had been cleaned. I quickly ran into our room and grabbed his pills, handing them to him. He quickly swallowed them and jumped up into my arms again.
'L-Love y-you.' He whispered against my lips, adding a little pressure. His fingers ran through my hair as mine supported his body. I pushed him up against the fridge, relieving some pressure which gave me a chance to run my hands up his shirt. To say I was sexually deprived was an understatement. Frank and I were like wild rabbits when it came to sex. We'd done everything from bondage to sex toys. Just stopping all contact like that abruptly made it so much harder to resist the dildos, butt plugs and vibrating vaginas that sat under our bed in a few boxes.
I gripped Frank's hips, driving myself closer to him as his tongue danced with mine. If it wasn't for the fact we were in the kitchen with our friends next door, I would have bent him over the counter and fucked him senseless.
I slid my hands from his shirt, unwrapping his legs from my waist and set him on the ground. His fingers were still tangled in my hair, my lips and tongue still fighting against his.
'Frankie, stop.' I mumbled against his lips. He licked the roof of my mouth, pecked my lips and pulled away.
'Is the midget done with his tantrum?' Bob called in. I started giggling, watching Frank's face turn from shock to anger. He ran into the lounge room, pouncing on Bob as I turned the corner.
'N-Not. A- M-midget!' He giggled, trying to sound intimidating while holding Bob's arms over his head. Bob struggled yet he didn't break Frank's hold.
'Okay! Okay, you're not a midget! Just get off me!' Bob yelled, still trying to push the small man off him. Frank gave up holding him down and jumped up, giggling. I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, leaning my head on his shoulder.
Alicia was slowly coming out from behind Mikey, watching Frank with intensity.
'I-I really am s-sorry, Alicia.' He whispered, sliding out of my arms and walking towards her with his arms open. She flinched when he wrapped his arms around her but eased a little when she saw he meant no harm. Mikey kept a watchful eye on them.
'Hey, Mikes. Where's Toro?' I asked, trying to get him to stop glaring at my husband.
'He's supposed to be coming around soon.' Mikey said, still watching them. Frank released Alicia and came back to me, wrapping his arms around me tightly.
'L-Love you. Very m-much.' He whispered, kissing my exposed collar bone.
'Love you too, baby.'
We all sat around the TV, waiting for Ray to make his appearance. Frank had the remote, which annoyed both Bob and Mikey to no end. He never had a long attention span. He'd stop on a channel, watch it for a few seconds then change it. He eventually stopped on a Green Day song, turning it up. It was up so loud, no-one heard Ray knocking on the door or walking in. It was Bob who noticed Ray first. Frank was, yet again, flipping channels so both he and I were too busy watching the screen.
'What? No hello?' Ray said, standing with his hands on his hips.
'H-Hey, Ray!' Frank yelled, still flipping channels.
'You guys wanna come out for tea? Amanda is taking me out.' Ray said, leaning up against the wall.
Amanda was Ray's new girlfriend. She was nice, having met her once.
'Already? Don't you think this is going a bit fast?' Bob asked.
'Not really. Come on! Please?!' He begged.
I looked at Frank, wondering if he would like to go out for once. He nodded and went back to the TV.
'Me and Frankie will come.' I said. Ray smiled wide, clapping his hands.
'Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!' He cheered. I looked over at Mikey who was trying to hide somewhat behind Alicia.
'We'll come.' She said, smiling while Mikey grumbled.
'You know I'd come but I have no-one.' Bob fake pouted.
'Take Katlyn. She's a nice girl.' Ray said, still smiling.
'Nah, she's away with…. Family. Yeah.' Bob said, twiddling his thumbs.
'No she's not. I saw her last night.' Alicia said, looking a little confused. Bob glared at her, mouthing shut the fuck up!
'It's settled then. We'll all go on a quadruple date.' Ray ran out of the house, probably going to tell Amanda.
'Do you know how to shut your mouth?!' Bob yelled at Alicia.
'Shut up, Bryar.' Mikey scolded. Oh this was going to be fun.

Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This one took me forever to slog through. I don't know if it wasn't as good as the others or if I'm just growing weary of Ms. Plum. I'll read #4 and see if she still belongs in my rotation of female detectives or not.
Friends have talked about how good the Stephanie Plum books are. I read the first two and was not wild about them. They were okay, but I was underwhelmed. I decided to give the third one a shot, and I'm hooked. The third installment in this series is hilarious! Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter since her lingerie job fell through, sets out to apprehend the owner of the local candy store. At every turn someone is trying to hinder Stephanie because everyone loves Uncle Mo. When armed men start threatening Stephanie, she realizes there is more to Uncle Mo than anyone knows. I don't even know what to say about Ranger and Morelli. I would not turn down a stakeout with either of them!
I laughed my way through this book from the image painted of Lula, an ex-prostitute and aspiring bounty hunter, to Grandma Mazur. I will definitely be reading more in this series. I have a long way to go!
I had so many belly laughs during this read that I don't think I can stop reading Janet on to book 4 soon as I can get it!
This book had me laughing so hard my family kept looking at me like I lost my mind. Terrific, funny easy read.
In the latest, Three to Get Deadly, Grandma Mazur gets a boyfriend. He looks about three hundred years old and sets his choppers by the plate — they don't fit right. He has a glass eye from World War II. "Were you overseas?" Stephanie's father asked. "Nope. Lost my eye at Camp Kilmer. I was inspecting my bayonet, and then next thing you know I'd poked my eye out with it." And of course he wants to marry Grandma so he can move in with her son-in-law. Evanovich has an extraordinary flair for writing humorous dialogue and scenes.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312966091, Mass Market Paperback)As readers of Janet Evanovich's two previous books about funny, feisty, family-tied bounty hunter Stephanie Plum already know, she operates in "the burg"--a "comfy residential chunk of Trenton, New Jersey, where houses and minds are proud to be narrow and hearts are generously wide open." On this turf, Plum fights for justice and fashion points--this time in pursuit of a beloved neighborhood candystore owner who seems to be moonlighting as an anti-drug vigilante. Evanovich now lives in New Hampshire, but authentic affection for Trenton energizes her prose. Plums in paperback include One for the Money and Two for the Dough.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:59:51 -0400)
Stephanie Plum--the sexy, sassy, brassy, bounty-hunting Jersey girl--is back on the job in her third novel, and things just aren't going great. She's having a bad hair day--for the whole month of January. She's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most popular citizen, who's gone no-show for his court appearance after being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. A "saintly" old candy-store owner is on the lam-and bounty hunter extraordinaire Stephanie Plum is on the case. As the body count rises, Stephanie finds herself dealing with dead drug dealers and slippery fugitives on the chase of her life. And with the help of eccentric friends and family, Steph must see to it that this case doesn't end up being her last.… (more)
