Place of Birth
Creating a brand new wrestling promotion from scratch takes a lot of time and energy. Karen Jarrett posted this message on Twitter, stating that her husband Jeff Jarrett has been on one heck of a schedule as of late. Aside from traveling to Mexico to work, he has also been conducting various business meetings to get his new company launched.
February 23, 2014
Through Twitter, the Great Muta revealed that he was on the radio this week, doing some promotion for Wrestle-1. He posted this rather interesting picture of a topless guy in a lion helmet, even though they're on the radio and not on television.
February 14, 2014
There is speculation floating around that Road Dogg is possibly in line for a big promotion within WWE this week.
October 31, 2013
Through Twitter, Sheamus and Mark Cuban joked around with one another about the Dallas Mavericks and their on screen incident in WWE.
November 13, 2013
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Everyone in the industry now knows that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio made appearances for AAA at the TripleMania pay per view. The belief is that WWE will be pursuing legal actions against the promotion, as management has been very quiet backstage about the incident. That has led many to believe that lawyers have advised them not to discuss the situation.
August 19, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
When TripleMania ended, fans in attendance were treated to a video of Rey Mysterio. The masked legend informed the audience that he would be back in AAA very soon. Unfortunately, though, part of that video was accidentally aired to people who purchased the pay per view. Since that happened, there is now a chance that WWE could pursue legal actions against the promotion.
August 18, 2014
As many are already aware, Konnan has been having issues with his hips over the last couple of years. It's the reason why he has been forced to stay away from the ring. The former WCW star revealed that he wants one final match after his next surgery. Since he is involved with AAA, the belief is that his match will be held for that promotion. No word yet on who he wants as his final opponent.
August 18, 2014
While the company was hoping that the legendary masked performer would make an appearance at TripleMania on Sunday, AAA is reportedly backing away from Rey Mysterio. The promotion does not want to be involved in a contract tampering lawsuit with WWE. As of right now, there is a bit of a dispute between Mysterio and Vince McMahon on their deal. Until that is cleared, AAA will not be contacting Mysterio.
August 16, 2014
It looks like Alberto Del Rio will not be joining TNA or Global Force Wrestling after all. During a media appearance, the former world heavyweight champion revealed that he cannot wrestle in the United States for approximately a year. The belief is that he breached his contract with WWE when the backstage incident took place. That reportedly enables the company to ban him from working for another wrestling promotion.
August 16, 2014
While online fans are quite aware that Kevin Steen was one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit over the last couple of years, WWE is not treating him any more special than other performers that they have in the developmental program. Management views him as just another wrestler, and they're going to keep pushing for him to lose weight before giving him much of a chance at a promotion.
August 13, 2014
Rumors are going around that Ashley Flair has moved to the front of the line for a promotion from developmental to the main roster in WWE. There are some roadblocks in her way, though. Total Divas is set to become a major focus again very soon, so the writers will put an emphasis on them when writing Monday Night Raw. Flair might also have to wait a bit longer if Paige picks up more momentum in her feud with AJ Lee.
August 12, 2014
While there are uncertainty as to whether or not Alberto Del Rio is under the 90 day no compete clause with WWE since he is rumored to be appearing at the big AAA pay per view this weekend, we now know that Ricardo Rodriguez cannot make an appearance for a television promotion. He informed fans via Twitter that he would not be able to make an appearance at TripleMania this upcoming Sunday.
August 12, 2014
While rumors of their demise are swirling rapidly around the promotion, TNA has opted to continue with business. Dixie Carter has announced that the company has signed Chris Melendez to a multiple year contract. The Purple Heart award recipient only has one leg because of injuries suffered while serving the country in Afghanistan. The move should bring about some positive press for TNA.
July 30, 2014
Since his contract with WWE has now officially ended, rumors about Jim Ross and his future in professional wrestling have started heating up again. Since the longtime commentator does not want to replace Taz or Mike Tenay in TNA, much of the speculations has been geared towards him joining up with Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Interest within the industry towards the new promotion has grown since Jarrett has been able to secure several deals across the globe.
July 29, 2014
Since they're paying him a tremendous amount of money, Hulk Hogan has been traveling the globe for WWE. After being the unofficial featured attraction in Japan, the former world heavyweight champion has headed down to Mexico to do some promotion work for the company. WWE is doing a tour of the country soon, and they're hoping that Hogan can help spike interest much like he did in Japan.
July 22, 2014
While the company publicly states that they do not view any wrestling promotion as competition, the actions being taken by WWE at Wrestlemania 31 tell a different story. Vince McMahon and his staff have worked diligently to prevent independent wrestling companies from being able to do shows in the San Francisco and San Jose areas during the same weekend as their big event. A lot of the buildings in the area have agreed to boycott independent promoters from renting the place.
July 10, 2014
It is no secret that WWE would love for the Rock to be the centerpiece attraction at Wrestlemania 31. However, the possibility of that happening is becoming more and more unclear by the day. The studios have decided to move the release date of Fast and Furious 7, which features Rock in a big role, up a bit. It will now be shown in the theaters a few days after Wrestlemania. That means that the Rock will be needed to travel the world to do promotion for the film. His availability to WWE is in question.
July 10, 2014
Rumors are floating around that one of the reasons why TNA brought back the six sided ring, under the guise of fan voting, was because they wanted to beat Jeff Jarrett to the punch. Talks within the industry have Jarrett utilizing the unique ring when his new promotion, Global Force Wrestling, starts up. No word yet on whether or not Jarrett still plans on using the six sided ring now that TNA has brought it back.
July 4, 2014
When news initially broke out that Jeff Jarrett was starting a new wrestling promotion, all fingers pointed to Toby Keith as his financial backer. The country music singer is a big fan of wrestling and good friend of Jarrett. However, reports are surfacing now that Keith is not involved with Global Force Wrestling. There are rumors that the financial backer is someone that Jarrett knows through his NASCAR connections.
June 29, 2014
Earlier this week, Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett went on a vacation together with their families in tow. While that might come as a surprise to a lot of fans, this is not the first time that the two families have done this. Apparently, Hardy and Jarrett have grown rather close over the years. That closeness has led to rumors about Hardy bolting TNA after his contract expires to join Jarrett in his new Global Force Wrestling promotion.
June 23, 2014
While the promotion has yet to obtain a television contract, Jeff Jarrett is still constantly working behind the scenes to set things up for Global Force Wrestling. It has just been announced that the company has partnered up with New Japan Pro Wrestling for some sort of talent exchange program. Jarrett has maintained that he wants an international feel to his new promotion, and this is a very good step in that direction.
June 21, 2014
When Bray Wyatt was closing out his feud with John Cena, many wondered who WWE was going to pair him up with next. Fortunately for the company, Chris Jericho agreed to return and help keep Wyatt interesting. Their feud is about to end, so the question has popped up again. As of right now, it looks like WWE is leaning towards putting Wyatt together with Sheamus in a program.
August 22, 2014
Since neither man was involved in a feud, it looks like WWE is about to pair Antonio Cesaro and Sheamus in a feud for the United States Heavyweight Championship. The story between the two might have been initiated during WWE Main Event. Management has been known to drop stories abruptly, so if this does not make it to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, then the feud is not going forward.
August 20, 2014
As expected, WWE has instructed their performers to remain silent if they are asked about the backstage incident that led to the release of Alberto Del Rio. When asked by the media, Sheamus explicitly stated that he knew nothing of the situation, even though most everyone in the company is aware of what happened. Management does not want to run the risk of starting a legal battle with Del Rio.
August 17, 2014
After taking a little bit of time off the road and in Europe, Sheamus is now back with WWE. While he was not utilized on Monday Night Raw, he did work a match at the taping for WWE Superstars. The former world heavyweight champion was also kept off of Smackdown as well. Sheamus is currently on the tour of Australia with the rest of the WWE crew and should be back on television soon.
August 7, 2014
While there are still discussions on a title unification program, there are now people backstage in WWE that are pushing for Sheamus to drop the United States Heavyweight Championship to Alexander Rusev. Some feel that it would give he and Lana a bit more heel heat. Plus, they can stall his push a bit by having him defend the belt against lower level opponents.
July 31, 2014
There are some interesting rumors floating around right now that Sheamus could be cast to portray Darth Vader in the upcoming Star Wars movie. A publication in Ireland is even running with the story. It has been noted that Sheamus has portrayed the character before during promotional tours, which more than likely took place before he became a WWE star. Sheamus himself has mentioned the rumor on his Twitter account and even teased that it might be true.
July 30, 2014
There are still plans being discussed backstage in WWE to unify the United States Heavyweight Championship and the Intercontinental Championship in the near future. If management decides to go through with it, then Miz is the more likely candidate to hold the unified belt because he has a lot more momentum than Sheamus at this point in time.
July 28, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw this week may have noticed that Sheamus was not in attendance. The former WWE champion will also not be appearing on the next episode of Smackdown, either. That's because the Irish star has been taken off of the road due to a severe flu. The illness is probably quite bad since Sheamus has been known to work through injuries before.
July 24, 2014
At WWE Battleground 2014, Miz won the battle royal to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Sheamus is the reigning United States Heavyweight Champion. The two of them are feuding. That has led to rumors of a title unification match taking place at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that WWE really wants to stack up this pay per view to build momentum for the upcoming subscription rush for the WWE Network.
July 21, 2014
It looks like WWE has changed their minds and will not be doing a quick feud between Miz and Chris Jericho after all. The former world champions were penciled for a brief program together, and the seeds were even planted when both made their returns simultaneously on Monday Night Raw a couple of weeks ago. Miz is now being paired up with Sheamus, while Jericho was moved immediately into a feud with Bray Wyatt.
July 15, 2014
There could be one less championship in WWE after the next pay per view. Rumors are floating around heavily that Sheamus could be the one to win the battle royal to become the new Intercontinental Champion. He is already the reigning United States Heavyweight Champion. A title unification would enable WWE writers to have one less thing to worry about, especially since neither belt has been in the spotlight much lately.
July 9, 2014
Even though he is the current reigning United States Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus has not been given an actual feud to work with. While there are speculations going around that he is upset with WWE for not giving him an official program, those backstage are saying that he is fine with things for now. Management continues to utilize him on television each week, and he more often than not is given a spot on the pay per view events.
July 8, 2014
Earlier in the year, WWE had plans on doing a heel turn for Sheamus, in order to bring a little more life back into his stale character. The company even attempted the move on television, but it was botched and the majority of fans did not realize that it had taken place. Rumors going around now is that WWE has completely scrapped the idea. Sheamus will continue to work as a baby face US champion until they can decide on something for him to do.
July 6, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
During a recent interview, Konnan discussed the real life fight between Sheamus and Yoshi Tatsu. He stated that Sheamus had owed money to Tatsu, so when the latter asked for it back, the former kept giving excuses. The tension between the two allegedly got to the point where a real life brawl took place. The stories that Konnan tells about Sheamus seems a bit one sided, so talk it with a grain of salt.
June 24, 2014
During a recent interview, Konnan revealed some dirt on the real life backstage fight between Sheamus and Hunico. Konnan stated that Sheamus had started the incident by being disrespectful towards the masked performer backstage. He also stated that Sheamus threw the first punch, but ended up losing to the current Sin Cara. Some are speculating that Konnan is just being biased towards Hunico, and the facts are a bit skewed.
June 24, 2014
Since his feud with John Cena cannot go on forever, fans have naturally wondered who WWE was going to have Bray Wyatt feuding against next. There hasn't been any clear indications on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown as to who he will transition into a program with, but rumors are floating around right now that it could be Sheamus. The two of them are scheduled to work against one another on an upcoming tour of Australia, so that could be what WWE has in mind.
June 20, 2014
Now that he is done filming his movie, the Miz is expected to be back on Monday Night Raw this week. The former WWE champion jumped back on the road over the weekend and worked a live event match against Sheamus. The belief is that he was warming up for the return tonight. Rumors have been floating around that Miz will also be doing a heel turn upon his return.
June 9, 2014
There have been sparse rumors over the last year that WWE was going to do a heel turn with the Miz, and it looks like that might be happening soon. While working a live event in Wisconsin over the weekend, Miz did a match against Sheamus. The former world heavyweight champion even cut a heel promo, which is viewed by many as practice before doing it on television.
June 8, 2014

August 14, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Zack Ryder, informing fans that WWE is no longer selling any of his merchandise. Rumors have been circulating that the company wants to downplay his popularity, and this revelation lends credibility to those speculations. The fact that Ryder actually pointed it out in public is a sign that he could be really frustrated with his situation in WWE.
July 1, 2014
As many of you already know by now, several WWE stars were on the receiving end of a release today, as the company is trying to cut cost a bit. As that is happening, Mark Henry decided to celebrate his 18th year anniversary with the company by posting a message on Twitter, which did not sit well with Curt Hawkins, who was one of the performers released. Hawkins posted this response to Henry.
June 12, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Mick Foley, where he stated that TNA wished him a happy birthday while WWE has yet do so. While the former world heavyweight champion is more than likely just playing around, there appears to be some truth in jest, as rumors have been floating around that there is backstage heat between Foley and some members of management in WWE.
June 8, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Drew McIntyre, where the WWE star mocked Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns for breaking up while he, Jinder Mahal, Hornswoggle and Heath Slater still remain a team.
June 4, 2014

Eric Young Jr. set back during rehab, not expected back Tuesday
Eric Young Jr. felt tightness in his strained right hamstring while trying to run during his rehab this week (ESPN, June 6).
He has been backed off his rehab program and not expected to return from the disabled when he's eligible next Tuesday.
Young was placed on the disabled list on May 25.
Wow, who are these trainers?
When the Mets finally give up on the other Young, I can see them using this one in a platoon with Brown or Campbell. Or, maybe even MDD.
" you can't pull fat" like the immortal Ralph Kiner once said. Some of these guys are just too muscular.
Ugh! Not that he is any good, but when it rains it pours!!
@golflady7 He's been better than the other Young.
@hankincolo @golflady7 Ive been better than the other Young
That goes for everyone...

The Wicked Wit of Charles Dickens (Wicked Wit of)by Shelley Klein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
...there are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.
-from Oliver Twist
It was not a bosom to repose upon, but it was a capital bosom to hang jewels upon.
-from Little Dorrit
I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born, in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality, and against the dissuading arguments of my best friends.
-from Great Expectations
...still his philanthropy was of that gunpowderous sort that the difference between it and animosity was hard to determine.
-from The Mystery of Edwin Drood
I'm always ill after Shakespeare.
-from Nicholas Nickelby
Dumb as a drum with a hole in it, sir.
-from The Pickwick Papers
From the complete works of one of the greatest classic writers comes this wonderful collection of humorous and pertinent anecdotes, sayings, and passages. THE WICKED WIT OF CHARLES DICKENS is a sampling of Dickens' signature style, which combines biting wit and serious social commentary to great effect.
Charles Dickens is widely considered one of the greatest English novelists and was an influential spokesman for the conscience of nineteenth-century England. Deeply affected by the mixed fortunes of his early years, Dickens endeavored to expose and protest against the evils of Victorian society, using his novels and later his renown to publicize issues concerning the poor and downtrodden. His writings are just as relevant today as they were when they were written.
THE WICKED WIT OF CHARLES DICKENS begins with an introduction to Dickens' life and works. The quotes within span such topics as Childhood and Adolescence; Dickens in Love; Prison, Politics, and the Law; Bumblings; Americans Can't Bear to be Told Their Faults; and Papa, Potatoes, Poultry, Prunes, and Prisms: Nonsenses. At the end of the book is a list of Dickens' works.
Containing lengthy extracts from scenes of great amusement, as well as pithy, witty remarks uttered by his unique characters, this book is a must for all Dickens admirers, and also for readers looking for an introduction to his life and works.

PG&E Supply Chain AnalysisSubmitted by admin on Fri, 04/08/2011 - 14:26
Project Information:
Supply chain carbon management is emerging as a promising new strategy to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Roughly one third of all U.S. emissions result from the production of goods and services. Quantifying the environmental impacts of products and services is the primary objective of life cycle assessment (LCA); however, these techniques to-date have rarely been applied to companies as a whole. Instead, companies have typically limited accounting and reporting of GHG emissions to direct combustion of fossil fuels (Scope 1) and emissions resulting from purchased electricity (Scope 2).
New standards for inclusion of supply chain emissions in GHG reporting have been proposed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and dozens of companies are currently testing the protocol. While the proposed standard requires reporting of the largest sources of emissions, it does not specify methodologies to quantify these emissions.
The current proposal will illustrate a "stepping stone approach" to life cycle assessment, providing increasingly detailed information on supply chain emissions resulting from roughly $3 billion of procurement by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Input-output life cycle assessment will first be used to identify carbon "hotspots" in supply chains. Increasingly detailed information on PG&E's suppliers will then be used to refine the results and to quantify GHG emission reduction opportunities. The published results will provide a detailed case study of supply chain carbon accounting and management.

Happy 40th birthday, Morton's!
Date: November 5, 2009
by: Stephanie Hannum | Black Tie Editor
Happy birthday, Morton's!
The whole Morton family gathered Thursday, Nov. 5, at their neighborhood market to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The family, surrounded by employees and friends, talked about 40 years in the business and enjoyed a beautiful cake with supporters, including their first customer, Fran Dietz. Patriarch Ted Morton was in attendance as well, despite a recent stay in the hospital.
"We have been so successful due to our great customer base and employees," Eddie Morton said. "We have another generation coming, so we're ready for 40 more years."
Reveling in the success of the family-owned business was son and co-owner, Todd Morton: "We have been successful in keeping a good balance of keeping with tradition and keeping up with the trends."
Morton's Gourmet Market will be keeping the 40th anniversary celebration going for the next week and will host its annual "Holiday Affair" from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11. Chefs will be serving holiday treats and vendors will be displaying items sold around the holidays. Tickets are $5, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting All Faiths Food Bank.

Vol. 25
(by Tite Kubo, Viz Media, $7.95)
"Ichigo 'Strawberry' Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo's
has become an international manga smash-hit!
Ichigo's recent battles with the Arrancars have proven that if he wants to protect his friends he must get stronger, and the only way to do that is to control his inner Hollow. Ichigo turns to the Visoreds, ex-Soul Reapers who have been Hollowfied, to teach him. But before his training begins, Ichigo must do battle against his Hollow self—winner takes his soul!"
When the hero says "I've gotta get stronger!", that's usually the cue for fans to roll their eyes and sit through the boredom. But only the sheer Bleachiness of
can take something as mundane as a training arc and turn it into a work of piercing beauty. Using the most obvious of metaphors—Ichigo must fight himself to reach the next level—Tite Kubo transcends formula by filling each chapter with the excitement and depth usually reserved for life-or-death battles against the main villain. Bold penstrokes, near-abstract special effects and a flair for cinematic staging make every moment larger than life. But artistic technique only goes so far—in the end, it's the characters that help create the ultimate sense of immersion, with Ichigo displaying emotions so raw and palpable that it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to read and act this one out loud. And in between all the theatrics, there's still enough room for other essentials like humor (Ichigo on a crude elliptical trainer?) and intricate plot development (so that's what
is up to!). True enough, this is one action series that has it all.
Ichigo may steal the show in this volume, but he does such a good job of it that he completely overshadows the other folks helping him. Shinji Hirako may have been an intriguing new arrival once ... but now he and his buddies are reduced to mere sparring opponents in Ichigo's quest for Hollowfication. And that's another thing—this training arc, dramatic and beautiful as it may be, is really just a series of sparring matches. Even the climax of the battle is resolved by basic brute force: apparently all it takes to win is being more determined than the other guy. (Admittedly, this is a key principle of the action/fighting genre, but isn't there a way to put a more artful spin on it?) It's also a training sequence that eats up a lot of pages, so even though it
like a fast-moving volume, it actually advances the story very little. What are they all fighting for again?
This volume sets out to do one thing: to blow you away with a dynamic, dramatic battle for Ichigo's very soul. On that point, it succeeds with a resounding
(by Rie Takada, Viz Media, $8.99)
"Demons like Rara are supposed to cause mischief in the mortal world and draw humans to darkness. They're
supposed to help mortals and they're
not supposed to fall in love with them! But that's just what happens when Rara enters high school, where a hot guy named Retsu Aku calls her 'Gaba Kawa'!
While demons gain power by causing mischief, the opposite is also true—if Rara uses any of her powers to help mortals, she'll immediately lose that very power. If she loses enough power, she'll disappear! Poor Rara. What's a 'Gaba Kawa' demon to do?"
How much do I like
Gaba Kawa
? Enough to re-read the single-volume compilation even after having read it in serialization in
Shojo Beat
magazine. Rie Takada's flair for romantic comedy rides high in this short piece, with emphasis on the comedy—her chibi figures are the epitome of cute, often injecting more humor and expression into a scene than most artists can do with "realistic" characters. Clarity of line and naturally readable layouts also place this squarely in the upper levels of illustration quality. But artistry aside, Takada's most powerful weapon is her knack for crafting lively situations that will leave readers laughing, cheering, and wondering how the main character will pull herself out of this one. After all, when powers like invisibility, spirit awareness, and passing through walls come into play, it makes the average high school romance that much more unpredictable. Best of all, Rara has an instantly likable charm, miraculously avoiding all the pitfalls that make
heroines irritating—and makes it that much sweeter when she finds her happy ending. (And really, would we want it any other way?)
Was one volume spaced out in five chapters not enough space? Would a little more working room have helped? The ending may be sweet, but it also arrives in a strangely abrupt manner, and that's after a fifth chapter where the whole storyline takes a sudden dark turn. It's the one black mark against a story that otherwise moves along at just the right pace and mood everywhere else. Also disappointing is that the final chapter is the only one that realizes the full potential of Rara's smart-mouthed rival Bibi, who is so delightfully evil that one has to wonder why she doesn't show up more often in the middle chapters. The middle chapters end up revealing another weakness too: Takada isn't very good with action scenes, as evidenced by things like awkward school rooftop fight scenes and a head-scratching driving sequence. Oh well, it's the comedy that counts anyway.
A bit on the light side, with a less-than-ideal ending, but still cute as all get out. And with a lead character like that, what's not to like? Score this one a
Vol. 32
(by Masashi Kishimoto, Viz Media, $7.95)
"Naruto is a ninja-in-training with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He's got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world's greatest ninja!
A new ninja causes trouble among the ranks of Team Kakashi when they return from the battle against Sasori. The secrets this stranger hides could be disastrous for Naruto. Meanwhile, Naruto's nemesis Orochimaru has troubles of his own—his stronghold may be infiltrated by a spy!"
So, after the epic and heartbreaking ending of the Gaara rescue arc, the next stage of
... is actually about Naruto! Miracle of miracles! Our titular hero finally takes center stage as he goes around meeting other Konoha village pals who haven't seen him in three years, while at the same time, the elders raise some concerns about the demon inside him. What this volume lacks in action, it makes up for with character and story-building, often with a touch of humor as well. Then there's the new guy, Sai, with his beautifully unique jutsu—bringing drawings to life—and an infuriating yet enigmatic personality. It's in his arguments with Naruto and Sakura that we're reminded just how strong the bond remains between those two and Sasuke. (Yeah, had to bring him up eventually.) Kishimoto's detailed and flowing art once again brings great action scenes and emotional moments to life, and by the time they get to the meeting with a certain spy, the careful timing brings it all together for the perfect cliffhanger.
The trouble with ending a major adventure arc is that it always takes some time to get going again with the next storyline. So it should come as no surprise that this is another one of those transitional volumes where one quest ends, another begins, and Boring Stuff happens in most of the middle chapters. Calling it "character and story-building" is just sugar-coating—even Masashi Kishimoto himself knows that there's no getting around lots of dull talking-head scenes, so that's exactly what he draws. As if he weren't lazy enough already using zero tones and shading for the character designs. Even the action scenes that do occur in these chapters are basically just training exercises for the characters, failing to capture the true energy of the series when lives are at stake. So let the story plod along on its merry way, as Naruto and company putz around without really accomplishing very much. Surely Vol. 33 gets better than this...
A new character, some cute humor, and the next stage being carefully set—but without the excitement or drama of the series' best moments, this one is merely a
Vol. 15
(by Tomoko Ninomiya, Del Rey, $10.95)
"Summer is supposed to be a time for relaxation, but life-changing events are in store for Nodame and her friends. She's about to play her very first recital—at the chateau of a Mozart-obsessed, cosplay-loving Frenchman! Meanwhile, Chiaki is making big plans for his orchestra, Kuroki is rehearsing for a major audition, and Tanya is looking for love in all the wrong places. How will they ever survive this summer 'vacation'?"
No composer elicits gleeful, ardent fanboyism quite like Mozart. I, of all people, should know. So when a volume of
like this pops up, it's an instant win. Fortunately, the composer's ebullient style seems to have rubbed off on Tomoko Ninomiya as well, as the entire recital arc glows with Wolfgang's unmistakable joy and humor. With a hilariously eccentric aristocrat leading the way, and a storyline that pirouettes between bouncy jokes and subtle romance and musical rapture, this is one set of chapters that pulls you in with its sheer effervescence. The captivating visuals should be a big draw as well: period costumes, historic architecture, and the sweeping beauty of the northern French coast. (And for the true
, period instruments too.) After too many chapters of seeing nothing but the insides of concert halls and practice rooms, this is just a glorious explosion of creative energy—a heartfelt portrayal of the beauty of France as well as the beauty of classical music. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more awesome, there's even a surprise gag involving some famously cute bacteria ...
All right, so it's a delightful romp, but it doesn't take much time to come crashing back down. The last chapter in this volume, although still peppered with the series' trademark humor, quickly returns to the drudgery of professional musical life with a number of repetitive audition scenes. Geez, Chiaki, just hurry up and assemble your orchestra so you can impress us all again with your genius! And the Mozart storyline, for all its memorable moments, stumbles as well: numerous pages are wasted on the bickering between Tanya and Kuroki, neither of whom are particularly endearing characters. Then come the moments of truth that are supposed to make
what it is—the musical performances—and the artwork just hurries through them in abbreviated fashion, like a quick survey of Mozart's Greatest Hits. His style may have been joyful and bubbly, but his true masterpieces were the ones built upon deep, intense emotions—a point sadly missed by this story arc.
Ah, even storytelling faults can't wreck the awesomeness of cosplaying as Mozart in an authentic French castle and showcasing his music. A well-earned
for this volume!
(by Jiro Taniguchi,
Fanfare / Ponent Mon
, $25.00)
"Mountaineer Shiga made a promise to his best friend following his tragic death in the Himalayas. Twelve years later and he is called upon to honor that promise. When 15-year-old student, Megumi, fails to arrive home from school her mother calls on her dead husband's best friend for help. Shiga abandons his mountain refuge and enters the city to look for the girl. With the police investigation at a standstill, Shiga decides to go it alone. But the metropolis can be a much more hostile and dangerous ground than the mountains. What has happened to the youngster and will Shiga find her before it is too late? Multi-award winning creator, Jiro Taniguchi, builds the tension to a massive climax in this exciting drama!"
Good things come to those who wait. And nowhere is that more true than in this whodunit thriller, which starts out humble but gradually builds up to an epic, jaw-dropping ending. The most remarkable thing is that Taniguchi pulls readers into the story not with improbable twists or eye-candy action sequences (although there are certainly a few), but with gentle tugging and tweaking of the plot until suddenly you realize you care too much about Shiga's investigation to stop reading. Seriously, this guy is even more intense than Kazuo Tenma, and twice as physically fit. But it's not just Shiga's stoic character that powers the story—every locale he passes through is polished to perfection as well, from the bustle of Shibuya to the sheen of the business district to the rustic mountainlands he calls home. Of course, the precision of Taniguchi's linework is a big help in that respect, and his sparse, deliberate pacing gives every scene a stately eloquence—genuine "manga for grown-ups," as it were. You want a
action hero? This guy does it without ninjutsu or spirit powers, thank you very much.
"Good things come to those who wait," eh? Is that a reference to
's iffy publishing schedule, or the painfully slow first half of this story? Somehow, having a mountain-dwelling bumpkin wander around the city and talk to random strangers is not the way to build a whodunit thriller—unless you're trying to bore the readers into giving up before they get to the good part. It's as if Taniguchi wasn't sure how to develop the plot after the initial premise, and by the time he figures it out, he's already wasted a hundred-odd pages. In between are some flashbacks about Shiga's connection with his former mountaineering buddy, and how Shiga came to be Megumi's main father-figure—but the emotional development never really takes off. Neither do the subplots about Megumi's shady after-school activities or the seeming chemistry between Shiga and Megumi's mom. To top off the overrated averageness of this work, there's also the coldness of Taniguchi's art: precise, yes, but also lifeless. Gripping and epic as the ending may be, it doesn't make up for a rather ineffectual beginning and middle.
Wow, the snobby arty-farty elitists were getting all worked up over
? This ambitious but questionable effort is a
at best.
Vol. 1
(story by William Shakespeare and Gonzo, art by COM, Kadokawa, ¥520)
"After being attacked by the Montagues, the Capulet family is left with just one sole survivor: Juliet. To keep her hidden from the enemy, she's been raised as a boy named Odin. However, she also goes on adventures disguised as the 'Red Whirlwind' to protect the peace of the city. Then one day, a chance encounter with a boy named Romeo leads to love at first sight..."
No offense to Britannian OELists, but now here's some real "manga Shakespeare." This daring fantasy rewrite (and anime tie-in) adds new dimensions to the original, while also filling in gaps that ol' Willy might have missed. Why
the Montagues and Capulets hate each other so much? A political power struggle would do the trick. And by making it a very lopsided imbalance of power, the dramatic tension reaches a whole new level for the star-crossed couple: can Romeo and Juliet's relationship even get off the ground if the entire city-state government is out to kill her? Intriguing as these circumstances may be, however, it's still the central love story that shines the most: the Red Whirlwind's first brush with fate, Juliet's midnight encounter with Romeo, and later, the shattering emotional impact once each realizes who the other is. Swift pacing and a confident artistic style give this romantic adventure the momentum it needs; between the dynamic action scenes and otherworldly beauty of each romantic encounter, this is one interpretation of classic literature that brims with life rather than feeling fusty and dead.
Flying horses?
Flying horses?
You know, there's a difference between adding a new dimension to classic literature and just making stuff up. Sadly, many of the fantasy elements in this story seem to be nothing more than pointless flourishes, and Juliet's existence is made all the more confusing by the inclusion of various throwaway characters. While the supporting cast certainly gives Neo-Verona a spark of city life, they also take attention away from the main story. Speaking of which, what is the main story? The romantic angle doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves—which is a shame, because those are easily the best parts of the story—and the space-hogging action-adventure plotline seems to flail about trying to point out how evil Duke Montague is and oh my gosh will they ever catch the Red Whirlwind. Well, of course she'd be hard to catch if all your action scenes were a confusing mess of sharp lines and the storytelling was all over the place. A little more faithfulness to the source material might actually have been a good idea.
Although thrilling and fresh at first glance, the weaknesses in this volume reveal it for what it is: an adaptation of an adaptation, and not a particularly impressive one.
Everyone knows I have a soft spot for CLAMP's
series. But how does it fare when other authors take it into their hands? Here's
M. Gilbert
with some thoughts on the recently released
xxxHOLiC: ANOTHERHOLiC
Landolt-Ring Aerosol
(by NISIOISIN, Del Rey, $17.95)
Now, to start off frankly, I usually hate spinoffs. It is only occasionally when I come across one that I truly like or think that it was a worthwhile read. What I'm talking about is the
xxxHolic: Another Holic
spinoff novel. Technically consisting of only three long chapters, its page number adds up to 200; the last few pages are merely some author notes, making it 203.
It starts off with Watanuki standing in front of the coin lockers of a place called JR Glass Station. Inside one of the lockers, he finds a note from him employer Yuuko, asking him to buy her fake glasses. Getting thoroughly pissed with all the random errands, he grudgingly begins to look for a shop which carries fake glasses; a 100-yen shop, of course. So, he finds one, buys the glasses for 100-yen (105-yen including tax), and begins his trek back to his employer's shop. Watanuki stops at a cross-walk along with a few other people to wait for the light to change. He takes notice of a particular woman with
shining on her shoulder. However, before he could make it out, the woman throws herself into traffic.
Continuing on from this point, the writing goes into the first person format, allowing people to read what the woman was thinking while she did this. She wakes up in a hospital, realizing she had "done it again."
Well, some of you who have watched this series before, you'll probably notice this is the beginning of episode seventeen of the (first season) animation. However, even though it redoes this entire episode for the first chapter, it was rather refreshing to read it in novel form. The first person format of the woman's thoughts was a good addition, making it easier to understand the person's feelings and reasoning. It does this numerous times throughout the novel with other side characters.
Anyway, when getting through the first chapter, you'll notice that it was merely there to establish a timeline for the other two, which are completely made up by the author. The summary of the second would pretty much be that it's about a student named Serizawa telling Watanuki about his brother's cram school friend's club
's cousin's college sister named Hikage getting text messages from her dead friend. The third introduces an interesting element about something called the
Eye World
While reading, I had to admit that the actual side characters introduced aren't very interesting. I found myself rather annoyed by how their attitudes and actions were. In spite of this, their
were rather appealing. However, in the third chapter, I thought the explanation of the Eye World theory should have been a little clearer. Unfortunately, it seems the author didn't feel the same way I did, seeing that the so called article explaining the entire theory had massive blotched-out sentences.
That being said, it also felt rather lacking in the atmosphere which came off of the original
, but it should be rewarded for touching that atmosphere enough to keep it interesting. One other aspect would be, at times, the author/narrator could monologue a bit. But, it being written in a comical style, I found myself enjoying it more than anything else. The main problem I found in it, in my opinion, was that it didn't capture the true personalities of the
characters. It seemed that Watanuki was made out to be more sarcastic than he really was; and Yuuko, of course, was originally insulting to Watanuki but, in this, it was such an extreme.
I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known it to be a spinoff, which I didn't at the time. And, honestly, I was hoping for something a little better, but, overall, I won't say that it wasn't a worthwhile read. I pretty much have mixed feelings toward it; it's kind of a "caught in between."
Is there a hidden gem of manga you'd like to reveal to the world? Is there a piece of garbage that deserves to be bashed in public? Or is there a title that didn't get a fair grade here, and you want to set the record straight?

Jesus: Lord, liar, lunatic or legend?
- Details
- Created on Friday, 29 August 2014 08:53
In "Mere Christianity" C.S. Lewis said that the words of Jesus are so bold that he could either be the Son or God, a lunatic, or a liar, but that there is no way he can merely be seen a "good moral teacher." Considering Jesus' radical claim that "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father", there is sound logic in this position.
Yet, in recent years there have been additional challenges to the bold words of Jesus that he is the "I AM." Bart Ehrman has written popular books stating that Jesus was merely one of many failed apocalyptic preachers during this time in history. And, there have been many other books written that claim Jesus to be nothing more than a legendary figure such as King Arthur or Robin Hood. At a minimum, this view sees the story of Jesus as greatly exaggerated and unreliable. Finally, many in the scholarly community believe that the Gospels were written long after the events and that they were important primarily for the local Christian communities. This view doesn't assume that all the stories are true, but that they were written because of their importance for the local community.
The single most important anchor for a Christ-follower is that we can rely on the story of Jesus. Jesus came to reveal the character of God to us. If we lose this understanding, everything is lost. Is there an evidence-based view of the Gospels that can give us confidence that the story and the words of Jesus are really true?

Can anybody explain to me why the white resigned her? (in the last move)
36.Kb1 Re8 37.Rc2 Re1+ 38.Rc1 Re2
Sorry I'm like a very begginer 2 questions in this part why 37 Rc2
and what if the king moves to a1?
...Re8 threatens ...Re1+ (also if White plays Ka1). White plays Rc2 to answer ...Re1+ with Rc1 (impossible if White plays Ka1, that's why duck gave the more interesting Kb1 variation).
If 36. Ka1 it's mate in 8, if 37. Ka1 it's mate in 2.
Rc2 blocks mate after Re1 white goes Rc1.
After 36...Re8, Black threatens Re1#. 36.Kb1 and 37.Rc2 is the only way to prevent it (letting aside Queen/Rook sacrifices to delay checkmate).
Thanks for the explaination guys I get it now :)

I have Plenty of Old Audio Cassettes. I want the songs of the cassette in MP3 or Computer playable format. Is there any software available for Converting Audio cassette to MP3 or CD ?
You could use Audacity.
If you save as MP3 you need to download LAME encoder from here.
I connect my cassette player or my vinyl player to a Behringer UFO202. This connects via USB cable to my Windows PC. On Windows I run Audacity. I set the input levels appropriately - the main thing is just to make sure there is no "clipping". This setup works very well. Audacity can record to mp3 or other formats. The audio quality is very good - or at least good enough for me!
The main annoyance with this is that I need to record each track one at a time, pausing the cassette player after each track.
The other thing you will need to do is manually set the audio "meta data' for each track - the artist name, track #, track name, album name, etc. Audacity prompts you to do this when you export the track to mp3, or you can also use software like VLC player to do it after the mp3 has been created.

Hi People,
I have a issue with the File Replication Service part of my event viewer in that I keep getting the same 2 errors everyday. I know why they are happening but not how to get rid of the error :mad:
The problem is we used to run DFS across from Server A to Server B, Server B is now dead and replaced by Server C (Server A and C both work nicely together). Now everyday I get the below error:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13508
Date: 22/10/2008
Time: 00:11:15
User: N/A
Computer: Server A
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from Server B to Server A for e:\users\homdirs using the DNS name Server B.domain.CSCo.Org.UK. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name Server B.ashford.CSCo.Org.UK from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on Server B.ashford.CSCo.Org.UK.
[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.
This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established.
Now Server B isn't with us any more BUT its account is still on the domain!!! Shall I just delete the computer account and that should do it or check in certain area's first before I delete it?
I have looked in DFS and AD Sites and Services and can find no mention of any servers setup to Replicate with it, I just didn't want to delete the computer account and then find out I have made it worst for myself :eek:
All servers are W2003 Std SP2

Advanced Jets helps Pine School student take flight as 'Head of School' for a day
STUART - For one day, a student of The Pine School becomes Head of School, during which time he or she takes a special ride in a helicopter, makes a few decisions about the school and sits in the Head's office, as a special privilege.
The most recent new "Head of School" was fifth-grade student Chloe Munson, and she took flight, thanks to Advanced Jets' owner Allen West. West sponsored the helicopter, which flew Munson to school on Jan. 25, as part of his support of the school.
"It is our pleasure to give the new 'Head of School' students an opportunity to experience a safe, professionally monitored flight," West said. "We understand it is a highlight of the school to have this fun element as part of the day, and we're happy to be part of recognizing stellar academics and community service among our local students."
Munson landed on the soccer field of the Pine School Campus, Lower School Stuart Campus, 1300 East 10th Street, and was greeted by students and faculty.
The Pine School is an independent, college preparatory, all-faith day school that serves students from age three through grade 12. The Pine School provides a strong traditional core curriculum while striving to instill high achievement and a lifelong love for learning. The school's objective is to develop each student's intellectual, physical, and creative talents in a supportive and moral environment. Students are encouraged to promote service above self and are inspired to develop a sense of commitment and involvement within their community.

Mitt Romney is an utterly decent man who certainly would have been a much better president than Barack Obama. But he was given a golden opportunity to save the United States from a second Obama term and blew it.
In his 2008 convention speech, Barack Obama declared that as president he would clean up the mess created by "the failed presidency of George W. Bush." Now many Americans say he has done a worse job in office than the man he replaced.
President Obama came into office promising sweeping change in domestic affairs. But nearly six years into his time in office, it is clear that, on many critical fronts, his presidency will be one of treading water. As a consequence, his successor will find a target-rich environment of issues ripe for serious reform.
What was President Obama doing during the eight hours that the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, was under attack? Amazingly, we still do not know 20 months later.
The revolving door always spun freely at Kathleen Sebelius' HHS, in almost comically perfect ways.
President Obama's Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has left the administration and joined an electric bus company he subsidized and praised while in office.
The "opportunity agenda" was supposed to be the signature initiative of President Obama's second term. But recent data suggest his administration is waging a war on opportunity instead.
"The IRS may not unilaterally expand its authority through such an expansive, atextual, and ahistorical reading of" the law.
There are significant differences between Nixon and Kissinger's opening to China and what Robert Kaplan, author and geopolitical analyst for the Stratfor consulting firm, says Obama and Kerry are doing today on Iran.
Here's some shocking political news from New Jersey, and it has nothing to do with the George Washington Bridge. The news, from philly.com, is that Rep. Rob Andrews will resign from Congress later this month to take a job with an unnamed Philadelphia law firm.
We invite you to join us for two panel discussions on how Augustus created order from chaos 2,000 years ago, and what makes for durable domestic and international political systems in the 21st century.
Please join us for a book launch event and panel discussion about how a marketplace of education options can help today's students succeed in tomorrow's economy. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the featured book.
Please join us for a luncheon event in which our panel will discuss what conservatives can learn from how liberals talk and think about the safety net and where free-market economics, federalism, and social responsibility intersect to lift people out of poverty.

Projecting revenues of $105 to $150 million as they exit year (in other words, next two quarters). Will range from mildly profitable to around $10 million (after tax). Certainly something negative could happen but I don't see it coming out of South America, the source of their problems over the last year so it would have to be somewhere else.
Reliance Jio. CRNT is primary supplier. To-date is 80/20. Knew they were supplying them but sure didn't know they were dominating.
Book value is $2.03. Thought it would be a little higher than that.
Now if they could trade at the same level as DRWI it would translate into around $6 a share. Bit of an exaggeration but not much.
Boy they sure do extend good payment terms to their customers. If they could get that under control they wouldn't need to issue shares.
Really took a big hit in Latin American sales. Don't guess that was a surprise. Made it up pretty much across the board elsewhere. Took another $2 million hit in currency devaluation. Didn't really provide earnings guidance but I'm guessing they'll be break even to mildly profitable.
No word on number of shares to be issued. Hoping they keep it down to 10 million but can't say it would surprise me if it were 20 million.
Down around 4% in Israel.
Would be interesting to know what drove the decision. Obviously they have been cutting it close but barring a problem it would seem they are open to a lawsuit. So did a problem occur? I don't honestly know but if I were a supplier to Dragonwave I would have demanded up-front payment.
I did an actual standard deviation calculation. Over the last two years it has been 65% They had better use something close to that in the financial statements or explain it really well.
Adjusting the std. deviation rate down to 65% results in a net value of $1.28. Interestingly if you plug in $1.60 as the share price it results in $1.60 which was Friday's close. If I had received the right to buy the shares I would have shorted the shares down to around $1.60 even if I didn't know anything about the company just to lock in the gain.
Valuing the warrant is obviously difficult but I plugged it into a Black-Scholes model with the following values:
Stock Price $1.80 (was $1.87) prior to deal being announced so I was conservative.
Exercise Price of Option $2.25 (price is adjustable in certain situations such as follow-on stock offerings but at least there aren't any full-blown toxic elements in this offering).
Number of years is two.
Risk-free interest rate 0.5% (.005)
Standard deviation of 83% (Yahoo beta)
Value of Call $0.69
Price of shares $1.80
Net $1.11
I don't pretend to know everything about valuing options. The share price has obviously declined far below $1.80 and I didn't do a calculation of the standard deviation (just used Yahoo beta) but I'd say it is probably a pretty reasonable calculation.
I'd say that is likely accurate. This sort of thing is always messy but it is still somewhat rare to see such contradictions aired in public.
The last one was $1.20 per share after all the adjustments were taken into consideration. They are "fudgers" when it comes to stock offerings.
They can indeed move the price but it very rarely sticks. Have to give it three to six months.
Last time there was a ratchet provision so if share price went down buyers got more shares. Doesn't appear as though there is one this time although I didn't read all regulatory filings so maybe it is there and I missed it.
Normally I'd say yes except that I think he is "fudging" all over the place. I wouldn't believe anything he said before the PSC. From what I've read that is more or less what the PSC members are saying.
In the end I don't know how politicized the PSC is. They could wind up getting something even though they don't deserve it. If the legislature gave them something I'd say that is more or less fair even though I don't like that sort of graft.
Should add that the PSC case number is "EC-2014-0224"
I always have trouble posting links but if you Google St. Louis Business Journal and Noranda you should see the article.
Also, was interesting. I read an affidavit submitted by Kip Smith who said that they are going to fail one of their debt covenants unless they get the rate relief at the end of the third quarter. The fact that they fail the debt covenant really shouldn't factor in to the decision in my opinion given their high debt level. Tends to indicate that after a bankruptcy filing the creditors wouldn't have any trouble operating it on a cash flow positive basis. I've not read all the documents but those are disclosed by the Missouri Public Service Commission.
Yea they definitely knew. I was also wondering about whether or not the underwriters are maintaining the appropriate firewalls within their organizations. The HC Wainright analyst was way over the top in terms of "kissing-up" in that last call. At least CIBC tried to appear neutral.
I've not read the filing. Wonder if it has any of the toxic elements the last financing had. Tend to doubt it does.
Looks like they are going to lose or at least not get nearly as much as they asked.
Seems fair.
I'd buy if the share price was 60 cents. Anything more than that is wishful thinking although there are a number of dreamers out there.
Can understand the need for the offering and they might as well bite the bullet.
What I can't understand is the need to mislead investors with this unit garbage. Just sell the shares at whatever price the market will take without warrants and without any ratchet provisions.
Need to sell SAL is driven by business needs (high debt) and taxes but mainly taxes. They have a large capital loss carry forward from sale of Albertson's that expires in around four years. If they can sell a unit they can do it basically on a tax-free basis so they could net 35% more. SAL is the most significant gainer in the group and the most marketable so it is the one who has to go to pay down the debt. Suppose they could sell the wholesale and conventional retail but I'm less sure there is a big gain to be triggered plus I can't figure out who would buy it. Still, you are right, it could happen.
Would agree although Rainbow isn't big enough to offset the TSA. Sales can bump slightly from Rainbow but the big issue is bottom-line loss from TSA.
I was impressed with SAL. They had to do this or they would have died. Their best hope is to improve SAL and then sell it off to pay down debt. I don't think they can survive without selling SAL for a good price in the next three or four years sometime.
Wonder if they talked about impact of TSA and future expectations in the call? Decided to not listen to call and wait for transcript.
Short interest has gone down a significant amount and it seems reasonable to assume that this played a role in the run-up in price. Whether the remainder will cover I dunno but there are tax incentives to keep the trade open as long as possible.

Product Review (submitted on August 1, 2013):
Love this cleanser!
Like many people I have used a battery of products over the years from numerous brands, never sticking to one for very long. Cleansers are a dime a dozen and I never really gave great thought to them, I have been more interested in creams/serums/sunscreens, so when I purchased this cleanser along with several other of Kate's products I wasn't expecting to be wowed. What a surprise! I love using this! The scent is wonderful and it doesn't dry out my skin or cause it to feel oily by midday (or by morning after cleansing and using night cream). I am so glad that I purchased the luxury size so I can have one in my shower and then the regular size on my sink. This is one product I plan on repurchasing for a long time to come!
