INDIA: Grasim Q3 profit falls despite rise in VSF sales
By Katie Smith | 3 February 2014
- Q3 viscose staple fibre sales volumes up 24%
- Grasim Industries profit slumped 40%
- Revenue grew 5% to INR71.2bn
Improved sales volumes of its viscose staple fibre (VSF) failed to offset an overall decline in third-quarter net profit at Indian fibre manufacturer Grasim Industries.
The Aditya Birla subsidiary said sales volumes at its VSF business grew 24% to 97,049 metric tonnes, for the three months to 31 December, led by a better performance in both domestic and export markets.
VSF production increased by 4%, helped by higher capacity at its Harihar plant.
The division was able to maintain its performance, despite a sharp fall in the international prices, supported by rupee depreciation.
Overall profit reached INR3.32bn (US$53.1m) during the quarter, down 40% on INR5.49bn in the prior year, due to challenging economic conditions. Revenue, meanwhile, grew 5% year-on-year to INR71.2bn.

Apparel Market in India 2012-2016
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Apparel market in India to grow at a CAGR of 12.65 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing urbanization in India. The Apparel market in India has also been witnessing increasing online retail sales. However, the increase in the number of counterfeit apparels could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

It was the only visible shelter they could find, so when the boys stumbled across a blue "police box" (did those things really exist? Dean would wonder later), they scrambled inside and slammed the door behind them, latching it shut. Silence descended, as if the ghoul chasing them had lost track of them.
"Sam," Dean hissed, staring into the room.
Sam, trying to peer through the 'window' on the door, frowned. "Not now, Dean," he snapped, shrugging off his brother's tugging hand. "I think we may have lost her, but we'll have to move on sometime-"
"Saaaammm," Dean whined.
"Not now, Dean," Sam repeated distractedly. "For now I think we can catch our breath and-"
"Saammyyy, it's bigger on the inside!" Dean said, voice unusually high with near-hysteria.

It was a rainy day. One of those days where you don't really want to go out, but sometimes you have little choice about it, and you're forced to step outside your home and go to work. It was one of those days that you spend the whole day feeling like it's morning, or thinking it's dusk. Those really dark days where the sun doesn't show up at all, not even to peek down on the occupants of the earth.
Yeah. One of those days.
Of course, the occupants of 221B scarcely noticed, as they were both sleeping in after just finishing a case the night before. At like five in the morning. It was currently eight.
Actually, to be slightly more accurate, Sherlock Holmes was sleeping like a newborn baby while John Watson was tossing and turning on his bed, trying to sleep. And fail

A/N: Just a note, for you as the reader to keep in mind. This chapter was written out of order. Sorry if it confuses, but it was too much fun to pass up. I have added time locators to help keep you on track, though, so hopefully it won't be too confusing.
The group of six waited a while before climbing down from the branches of the tree, and then they wandered into the house. They were halfway through three large pepperoni pizzas and two big bottles of cola when there was a jaunty knock on the door.
Jack and Dean froze, exchanged looks and dashed for the door. Dean got there first and jerked it open. "Doctor!" they chorused, grins spreading across their faces.

"And if I don't make one sale at all this week, Hayate-sama's gonna fire me," her friend, Inuzuka Kiba, complained to her from the other side of the counter. "So just buy something that's more than five bucks? Pleaaaseee, Sakura-chan? I'm begging you here!"
"Alright, alright," she relented, clasping her hands in front of her and smiling at him. "I'll see what there is. I'll buy something, okay? There has to be something that I'll like even a little bit."

The cry echoed around the park. Hiei dropped to his knees, gasping for the breath that had deserted him as she fell. Yusuke collapsed a few feet from Hiei, shock draining his face of color. Kuwabara fainted where he stood, his body making a solid thud as it hit the hard-packed, frozen earth. Kurama let out a roar of fury, lunging forward and completely tearing into the moth demon responsible for his cousin's death.
Not even two seconds later, the white-haired fox demon stood, covered in blood, his eyes nearly red with fury, and the head of the moth demon clenched in his hand. He dropped to his knees and started shredding the body of their enemy in a furious haze.
Hiei barely noticed any of this. As soon as he managed a wheezing, half-assed breath, he crawled desperately over to his miko's side, wish

Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away...
A Time Lord walked into a bar. He strolled along and plopped down onto a comfy bar stool, looking around curiously at the other patrons. Then he smiled when the bartender wandered over.
"Hi! I heard you got some new merchandise? Of the... liquid variety," the Time Lord said, leaning forward to create one of those conspiratory huddles with the man.
The bartender lifted his head briefly, glancing around all shifty-like, then returned his attention to the Time Lord. "So what if we do?" he asked suspiciously.
The skinny spaceman narrowed his eyes and set down a slip of purple paper with the consistency and texture of a flashcard. "One please." He quirked a smile.

I have never tried to write up someone else's suggestion before, but when Taiyoukai Taika-sama requested a drabble with Kagome taking Souta to see Santa, and Hiei getting jealous when she sits on his lap, I thought I might just be able to pull it off. I don't know if this is quite what you had in mind, but I hope it's okay, -- its longer than a drabble, and it took a strangely naughty turn at the end. ^_~&

Enma never knew who it was; he only knew that his precious miko had committed a sin. She had fallen from grace and allowed a demon to love her physically, pouring her emotions and energy into the act. Her ability had spiked, warning all, and it was the only clue that Enma had.
But, when he questioned her about it, she did not deny it. She refused to; she loved the demon she gave herself to. She would never deny loving someone, no matter how much Enma wished it otherwise, so she was ready to sign her own death warrant. She was ready to give herself over to Enmas punishment, because she knew the law and she knew that her demon lover would

As Kurama walked along with Hiei, he hid a smile as he glanced at the scowl on the other man's face. "If you don't want to go with her, you could have said no. She would have met up with you in the Reikai later."
"And let her go see them, to give them chocolate, all by herself?" the apparition scoffed. "That would like be like handing her over to them on a platter. Any one of them could take a notion to take off with her and try to keep her. You know what happened last year."
"Well, to be fair, from what she said, she didn't explain the tradition very well to Prince Kouga and he thought she was proposing," the avatar pointed out.

Kurama and Yusuke were sitting in Kagome and Hiei's living room when Kagome bounced in with a smile and a greeting. Walking over to where Hiei was standing, she touched his arm and said, "That was Eri on the phone. She and the girls want to take me out to lunch and to do some shopping."
"No? What do you mean 'no?' There's nothing dangerous about shopping," she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Hn. You have been tired lately and are still sick every morning. What will you do if you start to feel ill? Not one of those onnas has the brains of a stick," he frowned back at her.
Stifling a giggle, Kagome defended her friends, "They're not stupid. And it's just common sense that if I got sick, they would bring me home."

Devils rookie Adam Henrique scored his second overtime series-winning goal of the playoffs, giving the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 win in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Final. The win sends the Devils to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2003.
In addition to a game-high six shots on goal and an assist on Henrique's game-winner, Ilya Kovalchuk added a goal for the Devils in Game Six, giving him six points in the series (tied with Zach Parise for the team lead) and lifting Kovalchuk to a playoff-leading 18 points.
New Jersey continues to get contributions from their fourth line, as Ryan Carter opened the scoring, with assists to Stephen Gionta and Steve Bernier. The trio combined for nine points in the series.
The Rangers fell behind early, down 2-0 in the first 14 minutes of the game but, much like Game Five, the Rangers rallied, scoring twice in the second period, and held the territorial edge after they were down by a couple goals.
Ruslan Fedotenko got the Rangers on the board, and he tied Dan Girardi (whose shots was deflected in for the second goal) for the Rangers' scoring lead in the series with five points. With all due respect to those guys, that was part of the Rangers' problem -- that Fedotenko and Girardi were scoring more than Brad Richards (four points) and, most obviously, Marian Gaborik (one point, though he had a team-high 19 shots on goal).
With the Rangers' season on the line, rookie Chris Kreider ended up playing just 9:33, the first time in the series that he played fewer than 15 minutes in a game. He did tie for the team lead with four hits.
For the playoffs as a whole, the Rangers didn't score enough. Sure, they reached the Final Four and were within an overtime goal of forcing Game Seven, but Richards led the team with 15 points in 20 games, followed by Girardi with 12. Top scorers needed to produce more, but so too did the supporting cast. Derek Stephan and Carl Hagelin, for example, scored one goal in 35 games between them, while playing significant minutes on scoring lines.
What ought to be particularly galling for the Rangers, though, is that they were thoroughly outplayed early in the series, yet somehow managed to split the first four games, but then they carried the play in the last two games -- needing to come back from a multi-goal deficit to tie both game -- and came away second-best in both games
And now the sixth-seeded Devils head to an unlikely Stanley Cup Final, facing the eighth-seeded Kings. From what we've seen in the playoffs, both teams have played significantly better than the numbers attached to those seeds. That is, they haven't won by luck so much as they have by winning the way consistently good teams tend to win.

Norwin, Franklin Regional run well at Gateway Invitational
By Doug Gulasy
Published: Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013, 8:44 p.m.
Franklin Regional's cross country coaches gave sophomore Bria McMahon some advice on how to run in the Gateway Invitational before the race began on Saturday.
The first-year cross country runner ended up ignoring that advice, and it worked out well for her.
McMahon won the girls varsity race at the Gateway Invitational, finishing the 3.1-mile Boyce Park course in 20 minutes, 38 seconds. She beat West Allegheny's Alexis O'Shea, who finished second in 20:41, and almost 80 other runners to take the title.
"We told her at the beginning: 'Keep yourself in third place or so, and if it feels like the pace is a little bit slow, then take it over,'" Franklin Regional coach Jim Passarelli said. "Once again, she didn't listen to us — she just went out there and battled back and forth with (O'Shea) for the entire 3 miles. It was a back-and-forth race the whole way.
"It was one of those things where she has the confidence that she can run with the top girls, so she's willing to mix it up with them and see how long she can last with them."
The annual Gateway Invitational brought a dozen teams from around the WPIAL to Boyce Park on Saturday, including section rivals Franklin Regional and Norwin.
The Norwin girls team captured the varsity title for the first time since 2010, beating out two-time defending champion Hempfield. The Knights won six straight championships at Boyce Park from 2005-10.
"Norwin girls have had a lot of success at that meet, so it's nice getting it back," coach Brian Fleckenstein said.
Freshman Kelley Giles led the way for the Norwin girls, taking sixth place in 21:37 in her first varsity race.
"It's a big jump going from middle school to high school," Fleckenstein said. "She was nervous beforehand and then came through. I think as the race went on, she got more and more confident. So it was really nice to see her do well."
Junior Becca Rohac finished behind Giles, coming in seventh in 21:51, and senior Becca Peters finished 17th in 23:12. Junior Rachel Fasiczka rounded out Norwin's top-30 finishers, coming in 27th in 23:43.
Sophomore Katja Kochvar was Franklin Regional's other top-30 finisher, coming in 22nd in 22:30.
The Franklin Regional boys team, meanwhile, finished in sixth place, one spot above Norwin.
Senior Ian Griffith led the boys team, finishing sixth in 18:18. Junior Brett Trottier finished 11th in 18:38. Both runners qualified for the WPIAL Class AAA Track and Field championships in the spring, and Passarelli said both had strong summers as well.
"They're exactly where they left off in track," Passarelli said. "Now we can move forward and improve them even more."
Senior Clay Brough led the way for Norwin's varsity boys, placing 19th in 19:06. Senior Grant Folgate (24th, 19:22), sophomore Tyler Laughery (26th, 19:29) and junior Trey Quealy (27th, 19:31) also finished in the top 30 for the Knights.
"The guys are maturing and getting stronger," Fleckenstein said. "I like where our pack is — if we can just keep moving our real nice, tight-knit group up, (we'll be successful). Really, we did well. We only had one runner in the top 20, so it was nice to see our whole bunch was right behind. In cross country, you want to keep that (time) spread down. If we can keep moving up, they're going to do real well."
Franklin Regional and Norwin will both get an even bigger test of where they stands this weekend, as both will head to Schenley Park on Saturday for the annual Red, White and Blue Invitational. The race, one of the largest in the area, draws dozens of teams from around the WPIAL each year.
"It'll be a great day for the kids," Passarelli said. "The kids are excited to see where they match up. I know Ian and Brett have goals to make it on to states, (and) Bria has goals to make it on to states. It will definitely show them where they stand at because there's not going to be that are going to be at WPIALs that aren't going to be at the Red, White and Blue, too."

How to market your fasting audience during Ramadan
Residents in the Middle East use social media platforms up to 30 per cent more during Ramadan, according to a new report by social media agency The Online Project (TOP).
The study monitored social media activity across the holy month last year to highlight specific consumer trends.
Zafer Younis, CEO of TOP said: "We monitored thousands of tweets and Facebook posts in nine countries to study user behaviour. Instead of looking at their social media platforms first thing in the morning when they wake up or get into work, our results show that during Ramadan, people are most active on Twitter early evening at approximately 7 pm, just before they break their fast.
"Therefore if brands wish to take advantage of this spike in audience, they should also consider posts that include content tailored to specific audiences that is entertaining or value-adding."
While most companies in the region boost advertising spends during the holy month by up to 20 per cent on traditional 'off-line' campaigns, they should also target social media to create greater engagement with their customers, said TOP.
Based on the study, the company suggests five tips for marketers this Ramadan.
1. Recognise that Ramadan is a unique time in the Arab world both online and offline, and as a result, lessons you have learn about your communities during the year may not apply during the holy month. So adapt your campaign to make the most of the advertising dollars you have spent.
2. Align your publishing times with your audience and maximise engagement.
3. Optimise your content mix as user interests' shift during the holy month.
4. Increase your advertising support budgets during Ramadan as the holy month enjoys higher organic engagement rates.
5. Implement integrated marketing campaigns by interlacing social media usage increase in-line with TV, radio, and print consumption to deliver higher multiplier effects.

To match the one of Harry!
What's with all these patterned accessories and shirts eh?
Bwaah. Rough stuff. Harry in his creepy weird symmetrical skull shirt.
Tried to crosshatch somewhat and then came to his jacket and shirt and was dtymduydfkde,yrfdsykdf.u u/.oiy instead.
His nose was the best part, though. Hair was also fun.
This is 40 x 60 cm in real size.
Little doodle of Kristen Stewart.
Uh yea, no?
This did not turn out remotely like I wanted it to. But I'm sharing it anyway. Blah. Was trying to do something I've done more successfully in the past. Oh well.
People have asked me what my sketches look like before they get cleaned up/reworked.
Here. Louis Tomlinson. One Direction.
Just a scribble to destress. It took 15 minutes since I have to go sleep. I have never seen Hannibal, but I had a major crush on Hugh Dancy in EVERYTHING. Starting King Arthur.
Sometimes my sketches are rather crappy.
Finished! Audrey Hepburn! Such an icon. I hope I did her justice. Prints of this will be available if anyone's interested!
Thought I'd show you all a work in progress pic! Lovely Audrey!
Jenna Louise Coleman. Cleaned up sketch that will turn into a painting this weekend.

I was looking into a new rifle and now I cant decide what i want to get. I have always loved the m1 although iv never shot one, but for the same price I could build a decent Ar. I'm not sure what way I want to go. Thought some insight from others would be nice. Let me know what ya think. Thanks Anthony

An M1 is a Garand. Do you mean M1A? If so, my answer is the M1A. But that's just because I'm old and personally don't care for the AR platform. Many here will disagree with me. The M1A gives you a lot more stopping power, but the ammunition costs more. Both the rifle and ammunition are considerably heavier to lug around. All that said, I still prefer the M1A.
I like the AR platform. I would go with the AR. Much lighter shorter and very versitile.
Nut up or Shut up!
I ment an M1 Garand. They were actual only called M1's the garand tag came a little later from my understanding. But im debating between a Cmp garand or an Ar build. Thanks Anthony
I have a '43 Springfield M1 and I love it. It's heavy, but it's a great shooting and accurate rifle. I also have a sentimental attachment to the .30-06 round. There's folks here that have built and some who are building AR's. They're two extremely different firearms. Building an AR will improve your skills. Having an M1 will improve your sense of history.
I personally like the AK. And its alot cheaper and more fun to shoot. Thats what I own and love to shoot.
You can get an AR later, always choose the Garand when you can. The price doesn't go down, so get it first.
I'd take an m1 garand just because I like antiques. Shoots a nice 30-06 and you can polish the wooden finish up nicely.
my preference has always been the AR platform. you can get an AR in a wide variety of calibers. parts are easy to get. they are very accurate. magazines are easy to get and widely available. i used to have an m1a and mi garand. both are too heavy and clunky. i find the romance of them higher than the practicality. just my opinion
While I do like the AR if I was choosing between the two I'd go with the M1 simply for the fact as stated they are not going to get any cheaper. I have a lot of love for old battle rifles and the M1 is a great piece of history that you can take out and have a lot of fun with. the 30 06 round packs a hell of a wallop and can be accurate for days! I don't see the AR going anywhere and the prices have calmed down on those enough now where you can look around for what you really want your AR to be like and not have to worry too much that the price or availability is going to change any time soon. I've got AR's, AK's,SKS's, 30 carbines, Lever rifles and 22 plinkers. But my long gun collection will never be near complete until I put an M1 in it.

OSU Women's Basketball Coach Foster Fired
Updated: Tuesday, March 19 2013, 08:01 PM EDT
COLUMBUS – (Release from OSU) Gene Smith, Ohio State associate vice president and director of athletics, announced today that Jim Foster will not return as head coach of the Buckeye women's basketball program.
"Jim Foster has meant so much to so many over his career," Smith said. "His work in mentoring young people on and off the court has been exceptional. The Ohio State women's basketball program was made better under Jim's leadership over the last 11 years. He and (wife) Donna have been wonderful representatives of our university and we wish them the best."
"I have known Jim for more than 25 years," Miechelle Willis, Ohio State Executive Associate Athletics Director and SWA, said. "We go way back to his days at St. Joseph's and mine at Temple. I have always had all the respect in the world for Jim's basketball mind and commitment to the development of young women in his programs. His contributions to women's basketball have been recognized nationally throughout his career. I am really appreciative of the 11 years that Jim has devoted to The Ohio State University."
Foster compiled a 279-82 record (.772) in 11 years as head coach and departs as the winningest coach in program history in terms of wins and winning percentage. This season he led Ohio State to an 18-13 overall record and tied for eighth in the Big Ten with a 7-9 mark.
Foster led Ohio State to a Big Ten-record six consecutive Big Ten regular season championships from 2005-10, four tournament championships and a school-record 10 consecutive NCAA tournaments. Foster's Ohio State teams were ranked in the national Top 10 in five of the last eight seasons and his 2009-10 squad set a program record with 31 wins.
A four-time Big Ten coach of the year, Foster recently completed his 35th year as a collegiate head coach, winning 783 games at St. Joseph's, Vanderbilt and Ohio State. He is one of only two coaches – men's or women's at any level – to win at least 200 games at three different schools.
A national search for Foster's replacement will begin immediately.

Patricia Herrera, whose mother is the designer Carolina Herrera, does her own thing when it comes to dressing up at night, and that might mean a cropped fur jacket with jeans, or maybe a vintage Saint Laurent tuxedo. But she's not opposed to casting a cool eye in her mother's closet. ''Oh, all the time,'' said Ms. Herrera, a magazine editor. ''I can't think of a better luxury than raiding my mother's closet. She has a lot of stuff from her predesigning days. I've been trying to get my hands on this gorgeous hand-painted Chloe dress.''
Still, admitted Ms. Herrera, who goes out a lot, ''I'm not a dress girl.''
''I'm more into wearing a tank undershirt with a beautiful skirt, or maybe with tuxedo pants and high heels,'' she said. ''And I've been seeing a lot of women lately in men's tuxedos that they've had recut.'' This is not such a fluke. Several designers, including Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford of Yves Saint Laurent, showed variations of a mannish, fuller-cut tuxedo for next spring, often with a bra top or a corset.
Marisa Gardini is most definitely into big-night dressing. Ms. Gardini, who has been working with Isaac Mizrahi on his one-man cabaret show and is his business manager, is flying to Milan this week with her husband, Craig Kinosian, an investment banker, for the opening of the opera season at La Scala. ''Well, either I'm going to wear Valentino or a beautiful lace gown from Isaac that I've never worn,'' Ms. Gardini said, sounding unsure. ''Probably the Isaac. It's strapless.'' Yet Ms. Gardini, who is in her early 30's, draws the line at fancy ball skirts. Her idea of dressing up might be mink-trimmed trousers (also vintage Mizrahi) with a simple turtleneck and a coat from Prada or Valentino. But a full-blown skirt? ''I'd be too embarrassed,'' she said.
Between the museum openings and the ballet openings, to say nothing of those persistent store openings -- and let's not forget the private dinners and the galas on behalf of one cause or another -- there seems to be enormous demand at the moment for evening clothes. ''Women want things that look special, and they're willing to spend the money for it,'' said James Aguiar, the women's fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman. ''They want the quality to be apparent. They want the luxury to be known. Our customers need three of these dresses a week. It's not about practicality.''
Among the big sellers at Bergdorf's this season are Dior and John Galliano gowns, dresses with a 1970's look. (The store has a relatively new line by the vintage fashion dealer Keni Valenti based on classic silhouettes by designers like Halston and Giorgio Sant'Angelo.) Beaded trousers are popular, too -- along with just about anything trimmed in fur.
So that trend really happened? ''It did,'' Mr. Aguiar replied, ''in a big way.''
Since late spring, Beth Shepherd, an owner of the SoHo boutique Kirna Zabete, has been getting requests for what she calls ''full-on black tie.'' ''Women want to-the-floor dresses,'' she said, adding that, among her customers, ''the slip dress is dead.''
But as Ms. Herrera and Ms. Gardini illustrate, there's divergence about what looks right now, especially among women in their 20's and 30's. There's even some question whether New York's vaunted social life has produced enough original pacesetters to make one style stand out, since many of the more visible women around town are in the habit of borrowing dresses from designers. And after a while they start to seem as familiar as a bowl of nuts.
''I love getting dressed up, but I just haven't seen anything totally inspiring,'' said Lauren du Pont, fashion director at Style.com. She's found ''little dresses'' she likes by Tuleh and Louis Vuitton, and she likes the newer knee-length looks that have volume. ''The one thing I like wearing right now is great jewelry,'' she said. ''It's a way to make something look individual.''
Lillian Wang von Stauffenberg, who is expecting her second child in a few weeks (''I'm wearing bias,'' she said with a laugh), goes to a black-tie event every other week. ''There's not enough designers doing evening clothes for all the women in America who have places to wear them,'' she said. ''When I see a fabulous black-tie dress, I buy it immediately.'' Ms. von Stauffenberg, who still clings to her Galliano slip dresses, likes the practice -- familiar to socialites of other generations -- of ''running up'' to see Oscar de la Renta, or Josh Patner and Bryan Bradley of Tuleh, and asking if they'll make her something special. That sounds nice, even a little insider-y, but her point is that if you're willing to work with a dressmaker, you can have something more individual.
Of his customers' whims, Mr. Patner said: ''They want real evening clothes. They don't want day-into-evening clothes where you just change the bracelet. They want to go home, take a bath, put on some perfume and change into an evening dress.'' His dresses can cost upward of $4,000, so his customers don't want things too tricky. ''Nobody wants to look ironic at night,'' he said.
There are always other options. Fernando Sanchez recently showed his spring lingerie collection, with chic pieces that could be worn for dinners at home. And Bloomingdale's has a wide selection of embellished pants, which can be worn with a simple top, priced democratically from $200 to $600.

Full description for Death in Venice
"Death in Venice, " tells about a ruinous quest for love and beauty amid degenerating splendor. Gustav von Aschenbach, a successful but lonely author, travels to the Queen of the Adriatic in search of an elusive spiritual fulfillment that turns into his erotic doom. Spellbound by a beautiful Polish boy, he finds himself fettered to this hypnotic city of sun-drenched sensuality and eerie physical decay as it gradually succumbs to a secret epidemic. In his novella "Tonio Kroger, " Mann poetically traces a young writer's struggle between bourgeois strictures and artistic genius. Skillful dialogue and language reflect the title character's emotional conflicts, especially in his wistful visit to his home town and his sentimental journey to the Baltic. "Gladius Dei, " in contrast, is a sardonic depiction of a self-styled warrior of God, who battles against the sexual openness and profanity of Munich, the art center of northern Europe. In "The Blood of the Walsungs, " set in turn-of-the-century Berlin, a wealthy Jewish family, modeled after the family of Thomas Mann's wife, is excoriated in a Wagnerian evening that ends in self-loathing and self-loving incest.

Almost Lucid formed in Cookeville, TN in January of 2013. The band consists of Bronson McNellis (vocals), Kathie Mansur (guitar, vocals), Ryan Hunley (drums), and Michael Davis (bass). The band started after both Bronson and Ryan had just ended other music projects which they had been working on. The guys decided to get together for a simple jam session, but when the guitarist for the session backed out, Kathie Mansur stepped in, and ultimately took over as guitarist for the new band. Influenced by bands like Guns N' Roses, The Foo Fighters, and The Deftones, the trio quickly found it's sound.
After practicing together for a few months, the band decided to take the songs which they had been working on into the studio to hammer out their demo CD. The band turned to Scruggs Recording, and worked with Recording Engineer, Scott Scruggs, who brought his 40 years in the music business to the table. Scott who has worked with country artists Montgomery Gentry, and Aaron TIppin, said after hearing the first song from the band, that they were unlike anything he had ever heard.
After finishing the recordings in the studio, Ryan brought in his friend and ex band member, from a previous band, to play Bass. With their demo in hand, and their lineup set, the band turned it's attention to playing live shows. Their first show was a bar in Chattanooga, called Ziggy's Underground, where they played with The Scams, and Vic Burgess Band. It was clear that night that Almost Lucid was in a class of their own, as they brought the house down with their snake like swagger, and their venomous attitude.
It wasn't long after that the band landed their biggest show to date, as they played the Hard Rock in Nashville, TN. in front of a sold out audience, with a record label representative from Sony Records present. The band played off the energy in the crowd and tore through song after song. Afterwards, Mark Pilkenroth, President of Ishowcase Music, said of the band's performance "That was some epic rockstar shit". The band met with the representative from Sony Records after the show and asked him for feedback, he responded with "I have no criticisims, your energy was great, you look, and sound great, you have stage presence, the crowd was into you, and that's what it's all about."
After the Hard Rock, the band turned their attention back to the studio, and to recording a music video for their songs Welcome to Doomsday and Medusa.
Wherever the band plays, they catch peoples attention, with their catchy guitar riffs, heart pounding bass lines, dance inducing drum beats, and captivating front man. Whether playing infront on 15 people or playing in front of thousands of people, Almost Lucid puts everything they have into their music, to give the people in attendance a show that they will never forget.

Simply Hired®, a technology company that operates one of the world's largest job search engines, today reported that nationwide job openings have increased for the sixth time in seven months. In November, job openings had a slight increase of 0.1 percent month-over-month and 3.4 percent year-over-year. Nationwide job competition held steady at a ratio of three unemployed persons for every one job opening. These findings are part of Simply Hired's December 2012 Employment Outlook, which highlights job industry and employer trends in national and regional U.S. markets.
"We have seen consistent job opening growth during the latter half of this year, which is a very good sign that our economy is headed in the right direction," said James Beriker, president and CEO of Simply Hired. "Since consumer confidence is continuing to increase and the ratio of unemployed persons to each job opening is holding steady at three to one, Simply Hired has an optimistic view that 2013 will be another year of steady growth."
Hiring increases in 40 percent of major metros
Job openings increased in 20 out of 50 major metros in November, however, most changes – both gains and losses – were very minimal this month. Chicago (5.2 percent) and Tampa & St. Petersburg (4.0 percent) experienced the largest gains of the top 50 metro areas. Job competition among metro areas also remained steady, with slight improvements seen in only nine major metros.
Job openings increase in half of industries
Job openings increased in half of all industries (nine out of 18) in November. The automotive (12.6 percent) and healthcare (8.4 percent) industries showed the largest gains. Year-over-year, nearly two-thirds of industries (61 percent) are experiencing growth. However, the non-profit and retail industries faced the largest decreases in job openings this month, at -7.5 percent and -5.9 percent, respectively.
Educators and food worker job openings increase
Half of all occupation categories (nine out of 18) experienced growth in job openings this month. The largest amount of growth was seen among educators (6.3 percent) and food workers (5.2 percent). Of the occupations that faced declining job openings, farm, fishing and forestry workers (-8.8 percent) experienced the decrease month-over-month. However, the majority of change, both gains and losses, was relatively small considering that two-thirds of all occupations changed by less than one percent.
About Simply Hired
Simply Hired®, a technology company that operates one of the world's largest job search engines, connects job seekers and employers through its powerful search engine platform and performance-based job advertising solution. With more than 30 million unique visitors per month, the company provides job seekers access to over eight million job openings across all job categories and industries, reaching job seekers on the web, social networks, mobile devices, email and through more than 40,000 partner sites including LinkedIn, Mashable and Bloomberg Businessweek.
