Post subject: andro semi AAR
In view of the post recently asking about general race tactics, and andros getting a couple of mentions I thought I'd post this.
This game was a 'practise' game for the next campaign we are discussing. We are taking the chance to get a feel about how our preferred races for that campaign handlle in a larger battle. In particular to get a better feel for how badly Andros suffer (or not) in larger battles.
Andro (me) Conquistador + Cobra and Intruder + 2 * Mambas.
LDR (Targ) BCH + 2 * DW
Orion (Capt Jack) 2 * BC with Hellbore, ph1 and 2 disrupters options on each.
The campaign we are pondering is Andros VS LDR with the LDR supported by Orion allies.
The map was location map around a small planet.
Turn 1. I go speed 16 and close slightly, whilst remaining outside range 15. I end up at 16 to the orions and a couple of extra to the LDR. The orions have launched drones and shuttles at the Conq. End of turn fire sees the Intruder get hit for a modest amount. Enough that I still have front panel damage as we start turn 2. I launch my satellites on impulse 8 so they will be full speed straight after as the turn rolls over, I place them a couple of hexes behind me.
TUrn 2, I'm starting at a more or less perfect range for what I'm planning, I move speed 24 and enemy are speed 16. We end impulse 1 at range 9/10 and I fire 3 disdevs, 1 at each LDR ship. I'm expecting 1 failure but hoping that will still leave 2 LDR ships disrupted as I move in for the closer range attack. Hopefully 1 of them will end up closer to me. In the event all 3 disdevs hit, but all the LDR ships end up further away (1,1 and 3 hexes), drat. However I will get to range 6 of 2 of their ships whilst only having to put up with Orion attacks. The LDR didn't shoot back as I displaced them, opting to risk the disruption for possibly closing later. That was the interesting point where I was wondering what the enemy would choose to do. The DisDev I kept back was on the Conq - on the basis that as the weaker ship he was the one most likely wanting a self displace later on.
Impulse 2 Sees me accelerate in, I have to ram a couple of drones with Conq, the LDR hold in position to avoid getting any closer than 6, the orion skirts around me not wanting to get too close. I declare EM in defensive fire and fire all available weaponary (right side) at the BCH, aiming at weapons. The BCH still has a lot of power left and with 8 batteries I'm expecting to lose a lot of damage. The Orions also shoot before my EM kicks in. I do better than expected as the Conq + Int take out the front shield and the 3 satellites tear into the LDR vessel, doing a good job of defanging it. It is left with 3 disrupters and 3 ph1s and an ESG, having lost 15 unfired weapons. The Orions (shooting the cobra) miss with both overloaded Hellbores, but take out the cobras front panel. and score a few internals
Imp 3+. My ships turn away and run at full speed for the rest of the turn. At the back end of the turn the LDR shoot and pretty much whack out the cobras back panel.
Turn 3. Things are now looking dodgy for me. The cobra is hurting on its panels. The Conq is out of power, and unable to continue EM (but all my others ships do keep EM). The conq drops Em and is speed 24, however, he does still have a DisDev left. The Orions and a DW are behind me in overload range, the BCH and the other DW are a fair bit further back.
The turn starts with me keeping range as I continue to run, the Conq declares self displace on impulse 1 - I'm hoping to draw some fire that I'll survive and then leap out the way, and that will take pressure off the cobra. The enemy do indeed fire, the vessels in overload range kitchen sink the Conq, and its rear panel collapses and it takes quite a few internals, notably on power. It does however displace away to a reasonably safe spot but with no power left for anything else.
The LDR ship closest to me is now more or less powerless, but with 2 ESGS left. The orions turn to chase the Conq, but the LDR continue in on the other Andros, hoping for an ESG ram. The further LDR vessels also continue closing. My andros (bar the cobra) drop EM and catch the closer DW at range 3 with mass phaser 2s and the last TRH, that guts the DW, then the follwing impulse the intruder is able to bring the other 4 phaser 2s to bear through the down shield and just misses killing the ship - it has a bridge and 1 frame left.
The intruder then turns in on the other LDR ships and skirts past them as they carry on past towards the knackered cobra and the 2 mambas. At the back of the turn they fire at a mamba as it is not EM, the mamba takes a number of internals as its rear PA panels are overloaded.
The turn ends with 1 DW dead in the water and the other LDR ships moving towards it. The BCH is effectively a destoyer with lots of power. The orions are at the other end of the map engaging the Conq, but facibg away from it. The Int, 2 mambas and cobra are between the 2 enemy forces. The Conq is in trouble, seriously low on power but with a TRH and DisDev coming back up. A mamba has been hit badly and is also short on power. The cobra is still looing at heavily damaged panels but no shortage of power. The Intruder and pristine mamba are also on empty batteries just about.
We leave it there to continue next week.
The game has gone more or less as I expected. The Andros have enough tricks up their sleeve to get in a good first whack, but are then running into trouble as the game progresses. At this size of battle there is enough enemy firepower to really hurt anything they shoot at, more than the andro can just shrug off, and the internally brittle ships are losing power fast. Anything they don't shoot at is running out of batteries. The game is still very close. I've got my fire power and Disdevs back online this coming turn, but am lacking power for speed and hence initiative or catching a running ship. Whilst the LDR look the worst off in internals taken and lost firepower, looks are deceptive with Andros and I am still heavily out gunned if I make a mistake, with 3 of my ships looking at the precarious point of cascading damage if they get shot at much more.
I know LDR are the extreme in heavy hitting, but to give an idea of the firepwoer difference. My 440 pts of 2 mother ships at point blank range have an averge crunch delivery of ~180 and an average per turn of ~135. A single LDR DW weighing in at 130 points has an average crunch delivery of 156 and an average per turn of 156 at point blank range. OK, the LDR are the far extreme in terms of firepower. But it still relects that Andro are very low on firepower per point spent. Even if it was just standard Lyrans DWs they would still deliver 450+ damage in 4 ships for less points than my 2 mother ships, thats around 3 times the damage per point spent.
(PS we use the points adjustement from an old communique for LDR, else they are just way too underpointed).

Finshed this tonight. The game had spread out somewhat and there was to much going on all over to remember the details.
The game continued with EA, and I had hit the point where I was really struggling. The Conq had to go speed 8, the cobra was still 24, the other ships were 16 but still lacking much spare energy.
The LDR BCH and good DW were EM from EA onwards.
Roughly speaking my cobra got on top of the badly damaged BCH and stayed with it all turn, I didn't shoot (which would have removed any threat to it) so it stayed under EM, until impulse 8 when I shot its back side shield down and did some minorish internals.
The Intruder started following the BCH and DW, stopping them cutting in to the rest of my ships, but the DW HET'd round and the INT move to try and crush that - it took out a shield and did moderate internals but to padding mainly.
The Conq at speed 8 displaced in to the middle of the map to be closer to the rest of the fleet, before orions could turn back on it (if they were ging to). I didn't expect it to survive, but wanted the orions to have to head into the rest of my ships to get it. Drones were fired at the CONQ and the orions closed to kill it. It eventualy went down to a combination of orion fire followed by drone impacts before orion rear phasers finally nailed it.
As the CONQ went down, the 2 mambas closed on the orions and hammered one of the BCs, but again just largely hit padding, the damaged mamba was heavily hit again by the remaining orion fire.
The LDR DW at the end of the turn got some hits in on the mamba and caused a cascade that finished it off.
The follwoing turn I was looking at only having the decent ships left (the cobra by now having decent PAs). But I was still short of power, badly.
The orions went very slow and turned round fast to get the second mamba before it had time to pull to far away. That mamba was badly hit as its rear panels went down.
The INT failed 2 attempts at self displacement.
We called it then. My andros were struggling with little power, and I had achived very little reduction in enemy fiorepwer over the last turn and a bit, there was still plenty of shooting the enemy had left that turn.
I have to had my most unlucky night which really hurt me, every significant bit of fire by me was 6's. My mamba rolled 3 6's in 4 attempts to shoot down incoming drones. My INT rolled 6 and 6 attempting to displace. The CONQ rolled a 6 at range 6-8 for 0 damage after EM. THe INT rolled a 6 with his heavy beam through a down shield doing just 3 internals at range 6. And not a single aimed volley manage to actually succeed in aming (about 7 of them - they seemed to be the only time I rolled 3s or 4s). Had things been a bit more average it would probably have still been an even game at the point we ended.
The orion was also very unlucky with his rolling, but with more weaponary and against more brittle ships his bad rolliing was still telling against the Andros.
It was an interesting game, but went somewhat as I expected. The Andros were good for the first couple of turns, but rapidly fall of a cliff by turn 3 or 4. The ships that are getting shot are getting hit far too much too handle it and the ships that are not getting shot are really struggling with power issues. The relatively weak firepower on the Andro makes it hard on them, and this was exacerbated by the lack of power and hence speed,intiative or phasers by turn 3.

Victory for the Orions!
This was good AAR and very interesting game. Although early in the game
it looked bad for us (Targ had turn into private were DOOMED Frasier and I turn into Sargent Don't PANIC, Don't PANIC Jones out of Dads Army!)
As has been stated, power was a decisive issue for the Andros. This was made worse by the fact I had orions and could engine double when the Andro had Shot there "bolt". Also my missles were more effective than against any other race.
My Orions were very poor shots and several ended up being strapped to the front of my ship. (some might say that was the safest place
) As an object lesson to others. My PH3 gunners did sterlng work as always.
Last but not least I towed the LDR crippled ship and sent the crew home in a shuttle. My Cartel is very pleased that I made a profit out of this mission!

I'd just like to add that the game would have been somewhat different if it had been a campaign. Other than that the Andro appear to be better if they have fewer ships. It gives the Attacker less options and keeps the Andros powered up.

font style="font-size: 120%;">Tacha ist das, was man ein erfahrenes Modell nennen würde, und es ist ihr anzusehen.
SIE LEBT mit ihrem Freund in Cordoba, fährt aber regelmäßig nach Buenos Aires, um mit den Topfotographen, Modemachern und Werbern der Region zu arbeiten. Sie wurde Petter Hegre durch einen gemeinsamen Freund vorgestellt. Weil sie mit Petters Arbeit vertraut war, stimmte sie einem Shooting sofort zu, falls er mal Südamerika besuchen würde.
Mit über fünf Jahren Aktmodell-Erfahrung ist Tacha damit vertraut, ihren Körper der Kamera zu präsentieren und genießt es, so sich die Gelegenheit ergibt, ihre sinnliche Seite zu präsentieren. Tacha ist lebhaft, fleißig und versteht es, dass Fototermine, obgleich sie auch viel Spaß bringen, sehr rigoros und körperlich anstrengend sind.
Tacha hält dem allem mit einem Lächeln und einer peppigen Einstellung stand. Sie ist stolz darauf, dem Fotografen helfen zu können, das bestmögliche Bild zu bekommen.

|David Vereinigte Staaten
Hotel Fanny Be it the British or American definition, I definitely would love to check in! Tacha, you are a ravishing beauty. Thank you so much for sharing. You know how to make love to the camera, and we love you right back. Your perfect body with all its precious parts is so far beyond all I could wish for in a woman, you take my breath away. But that face, that raven black hair, those devastating eyes, I'm in love and in fear of you. Every pout, smile, and blank stare you make cuts through to my soul. You're an amazing model, and a Goddess among mortals, thanks again. Petter, thank you for capturing the splendor of this siren, you do great work, it brings me joy.
|timatits Vereinigte Staaten
Tasha + a Chair = Fantastic After only few months of enjoying this site one of the things I notice is that Petter Hegre.s favorite prop is a singular chair. The chairs may be ornate or plain or anywhere in-between and Petter always lets us see the model in positions that are diverse but natural. No model brings out the beauty and sensuality of the female as Tasha. This is the second time in a row that Tasha is in a chair; and for the second time in a row Petter moves her about so that we see the many shapes her nude body can take. Her body is perfect for such a series as it reshapes itself constantly into new erotic positions. Her face is distinctive, almost Greek. Her nipples are (as in every set of her photographs) as tight and hard as any stimulated woman's can be. Her breasts are large enough to assume different shapes as she moves but small enough that they do not overwhelm the composition. Her figure is proportioned perfectly. Her labia are in full flower, if a bit dry looking. And it is the chair that brings all of these out as it allows her to rotate her body and let Petter's camera highlight each feature. Tasha is a creature to lust over and in this series (as in her prior ones) it is impossible not to.

Tacha 70's Setting Congratulations on another great set Petter! Tacha is stunning and it's a privilage to see her totally nude! She posseses a hot body with a pair of sexy feet. Some really nice poses in this set, I especially appreciate image58, a classic pose which shows off the bottoms of those very pretty feet quite nicely! A job well done and keep up the splendid work!!!
|Pete Vereinigtes Königreich
Tacha Tacha is a very pretty girl with adorable tits and a really sexy body so I would like to see alot more of her, and next time Id like to see her smile!
|qw Italien
Tacha is very nice, but why have you desappeared?
|ben Vereinigte Staaten
this gallery though lacking in imagination does however, exhibit tacha's svelt and well proportioned body. Her eyes, well, lets say it reminds me of the well know phrase "Still waters run deep" Definately deserves more!!!
|ben Vereinigte Staaten
Tacha lets see... to avoid going into detail.. nice model but work looks like techically very good but the work of both the model and the photographer seems (to me that is) uninspired. would I like to see additional shoots sure.. rated gallery a 5 (low) because it think tacha is an action hero.. dang it i promised myself to stop thinking and injoy.. well i did enjoy so there!
|Pete Vereinigtes Königreich
Uninspired Tacha is a lovely girl, but I agree there is little emotion in the pictures. The problem is that Petter finds dome absolutely charming models, Yanna, Caro, Joyce, Olga, and Antonina. Tacha is great looking but does not quite work the camera like they do and of course the studio setting rather than an exotic location does not help. So more of Tacha on the beach or at some grand stately home?
|robby Vereinigte Staaten
why the hell is she wearing those stupid boots!!!
|BaX Vereinigte Staaten
Unshaved Tacha is a real beauty. But I would love to see her unshaved.
|shane Vereinigte Staaten
Tacha this set is absolutley stunning. too bad it's not in 4000px.

Yummy Brunette Steaming ! Face & body to die for and she looks like she enjoys posing nude. Photo 53 is as good as it gets !

Tacha Argentina's Fame Argetina never look better thanks to Petter.

Nice pics, nice girl, she shows all of her biautiful body, but eroticism is missing. A pitty.
|ardunbye Vereinigtes Königreich
Tacha white leather What a gloriously sexy and versatile young beauty Tacha is. Whatever your peccadillo, this dolly provides for it.
|BeanieBoy Vereinigte Staaten
Tacha's Too Much!!! Never ever before have I seen such a mind boggling mix of "innocense" and sexiness, all tucked neatly into a splendidly tight and tidy body. Tacha could burn a hole through steel with those eyes. And any one would probably never see the light of day again if they were to start kissing and nibbling that tummy of hers! Hope to see much more Tacha!
|Tomm Vereinigte Staaten
Beauty This is perfection. Truly one of the most beautiful women in the world.
|shane Vereinigte Staaten
unbelievable those eyes and body have beat me into submission.

Tascha Possibly the most beautiful nipples of all. At 4000 or 6000, could even eclipse Yanna Beach Walk, currently the most incredible nipple images on the net.

Nice face and gorgeus ass.

Tacha temptress Tacha is, I think, the most beautiful model on this website. Her face, her hair, her body are just breathtaking. In this gallery particularly she radiates incredible warmth and intimacy. Thank you Petter and thank you Tacha.
|GERBOU Frankreich
Tacha is always very sensual. Eroticism is everywhere: In her face, body, ass,... She could have shown us more, but the erotism which spreads for the pictures are enough to get us satisfied.
|marc Vereinigte Staaten
Tacha What "Dreams" are made of.
|Nick Vereinigtes Königreich
I love the simple composition, the great model and the really interesting poses: well done! I really do like it when the camera stays in the same spot and you have the model move around a bit, rather than the reverse...
|GERBOU Frankreich
Tacha do not hide anything of her body, and that's what we want and like. What a wonderful pussy! More, more please.
|STACY Vereinigte Staaten
Tacha Tacha is gorgeous, her beautifuly sculpted legs and knees are beyond compare, hope to see much more of her.

Gatlinburg Day 1
November 16, 2012 at 2:02 pm Leave a comment
Do you know how much I love riding in the true mountains? We got in last night at 11:45PM, and I knew that my 700x23c racing tires would be no match for potentially slick icy roads up here so I spent another 30 minutes changing both tires and putting on some good 700x25c all-weather tires (gotta love the Strada-Ks) so that by the time I made it to bed it was 12:30AM. Nevertheless, I set my alarm for 5:30AM so I'd have a chance to do some riding before my computer conference began. Now during a quick break after lunch I just uploaded my ride and see that I ended up with the KOM on the motor trail descent … heartrate still racing a bit from ducking, diving, and sliding around corners in the half-light of dawn shaded by Mt Leconte. Here are some pics I took along the way:

Proof Sets have been marketed by the mint since 1936. Proof coins go back at least to the early 1800's and collectors could go to the mint prior to 1936 and purchase proof coins or sets. These earlier Proof Sets are extremely rare.
Proof coins are made by using highly polished dies and giving two or more blows to the coinage blank or "planchet". The result is a very sharply struck coin with highly reflective or "mirrored" surfaces.
A beautiful matching set. The NGC grades are: Cent - PF-64 BN, 3c nickel - PF-64, 5c - PF-64, 10c - PF-63, 25c - PF-64 Cameo, 50c - PF-63 Cameo, Trade $ - PF-63 Cameo, Morgan $ - PF-63. The cent is brown with remnants of red. The 3c and 5c nickels are brilliant, and the silver coins all have attractive iridescent toning. A total of eight exceptional coins

Hearing a "slight hum" might be a clogged water hose. The valve may be trying to let water in. Check to see that all the inlet hoses are clear and that you can run water thru them with the machine disconected. Try switching water temps from hot to cold to see if it changes. If it died mid-cycle, the cold solenoid may be bad.

The Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar has been called 'A Global Beacon of Beauty' and I wouldn't argue with that for a second. After the launch in London earlier this year, the concept store has now arrived at Liverpool One shopping centre, right in the heart of Liverpool. At 22,000 sq ft it offers three floors of pure indulgence.
The ground floor is jam-packed with enough high-end makeup to satisfy even the most hardcore beauty addicts including well-known brands such as Chanel, Tom Ford, MAC, Bobbi Brown and more. It's a tight squeeze but if it gets a bit too overwhelming you can simply hop on the escalator upstairs to where the real magic happens. The first floor offers a nice mix of shopping and relaxation. On one side you'll find niche brands such as Origins and Aveda and on the other there's the Beauty Mart, an area that offers the best beauty picks from Anna-Marie Solowij and Millie Kendall. If you really want to unwind you can enjoy a glass of champagne at the very elegant and blinged out 'Wow bar'. To add to the VIP experience you can sip bubbly wherever you are in the store, whether you're shopping or having a treatment at the Nails Inc bar (OMG they have a Swarovski nail dryer!), Blinkfairy lash bar or Mark Woolley's Electric hair featuring chairs fitted with your own iPad and headphones.
Finally take the express lift to the second floor where you'll find a more discreet range of treatments such as waxing by STRIP (they use chocolate wax!), HD Brows brow shaping, tanning by James Read, laser hair removal and even botox. The space is incredibly elegant and tranquil so you'll easily forget that you're in a department store.
The Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaarreally is a one-stop destination for beauty and quite frankly, I now want to move to Liverpool! I had a good look around on the opening day and seeing as Olivia Palermo was there to cut the ribbon (in a chic cream coat and leather leggings no less), it would have been rude not to ask her for her beauty tips!
Lily Pebbles: Which makeup items do you always keep in your makeup bag?
Olivia Palermo: I absolutely love YSL Touche Eclat and always have a powder.
Lily Pebbles: What's your top winter beauty tip?
Olivia Palermo: Make sure that you keep your skin hydrated because with the cold weather you tend to dry out. Using a hydrating mask is great and Vaseline for the lips.
Lily Pebbles: Do you match your makeup to your outfit?
Olivia Palermo: Actually no, I'm quite simple in that my makeup stays the same colour and tone and in the evening it gets a little darker, but I like a fresh face, you know like a nude lip, but also going for the red lip like yours is quite nice.
Lily Pebbles: Which Autumn/ Winter 2012 beauty trends will you be trying?
Olivia Palermo: I like the darker burgundy lip but on my skin tone unfortunately it's not very flattering so that one's out. Other than that, probably just warm browns for the eyes.
Lily Pebbles: Who's your all-time beauty icon?
Olivia Palermo: Ooh that's a good question! Audrey Hepburn is pretty amazing and Monica Bellucci.

Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- Zimbabwe's longtime political rivals came together to vote 'Yes' in a referendum to accept a new constitution Saturday, but the rare consensus does not guarantee an end to political violence and intimidation ahead of crucial elections later this year, the prime minister's party said.
Constitutional reform was a key demand of regional leaders mediating in the southern African nation's decade-long political and economic crisis. Reform was also a requirement for fresh elections to end a shaky and acrimonious coalition they brokered after the last violent and disputed national polls in 2008.
The new constitution allows for more democratic reforms that would curb long entrenched presidential powers and punish perpetrators of human rights violations.
However, Tendai Biti, the third ranking official in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's party, said Saturday that political intimidation continued into the vote.
Biti said the arrest of a senior provincial official for the Movement for Democratic Change party by President Robert Mugabe's loyalist police on Saturday, casts doubt on the prospect of free and fair elections slated for around July.
Sampson Magunise, the party official in eastern Zimbabwe, was seized by four armed police before referendum polling stations opened at 7:00 a.m. (0500 GMT) across the country. No reasons for his arrest were given.
"This is illegal and unacceptable but it is typical of the environment we are living in," Biti said.
Magunise's arrest followed attacks on four party's supporters putting up referendum posters in the northern town of Kariba and scuffles between rival youth groups in Harare and the second city of Bulawayo on Friday.
Past elections have been marred by violence and alleged vote rigging blamed mostly on Mugabe's ZANU-PF party.
Both President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai said they voted 'Yes' Saturday after all main party leaders called for the 170-page draft constitution to be adopted.
"We will celebrate a 'Yes' vote but we cannot accept intimidation of any of our members and then declare an election to be credible," Biti said.
Biti said regional polling observers will likely report Saturday's vote as acceptable compared to "low standards of behavior" expected of Zimbabweans seen at previous polls.
"We can't accept mediocrity when it comes to elections that wouldn't be tolerated in other countries" during polling, he said.
Mugabe said he voted 'Yes' to the home-grown constitution to show how Zimbabwe mapped out its own future without outside interference.
"It gives us the right to determine together which way to govern ourselves," he said.
Mugabe, 89, who led the nation to independence from Britain in 1980, has repeatedly accused Western governments of supporting efforts to oust him.
Mugabe, who voted at a school in western Harare with his wife Grace and his daughter Bona, 22, said he wanted peace in all polling.
"Those who want to fight are allowed to if they are boxers or wrestlers, but to go about beating people in the streets, that's not allowed," he said.
Tsvangirai, 61, was thronged by supporters while voting at a junior high school south of Harare, said a 'Yes' vote marked a new turning point "and one of the most important historical steps" for the southern African nation after years of political and economic turmoil. He said it paved the way for a new chapter of the rule of law.
His supporters who have been killed in political violence over the past decade "will rest in peace because this is the most important stage we have been fighting for," Tsvangirai said. "I hope everyone will exercise their vote as a preliminary step to free and fair elections."
Officials said polling was busy in populous districts, and small knots of voters turned out early in remote areas and less populated or wealthier suburbs.
The voting day was announced exactly a month ago, and critics say voters were not given enough time to study the constitutional proposals in detail. About 9,400 voting stations were set up and 12 million ballot papers have been printed. Results are expected within five days.
Abigail Punungwe, a young mother with a baby on her back in a line at one voting station in Harare, said she hadn't read the 170-page draft constitution "but everyone is saying we must vote for it."
Elections monitors say printed copies were woefully inadequate in the two main local languages. Many rural Zimbabweans don't speak or read English. Monitors also pointed to only 200 braille copies being produced for the country's 40,000 blind people.
Cumbersome voters' lists were not used. The nation has 6.6 million registered voters, but on Saturday all Zimbabweans over the age of 18 carrying a valid citizens' identification document were able to vote during more than 12 hours of polling. Polling stations using indelible finger ink on the hands of those who have already voted will stay open later into the evening if voters are still in line at the closing time.

An interview with key executives of Duke-American Transmission Co.: Phillip Grigsby, president, and Randy Satterfield, executive vice president. Both also sit on DATC's Board of Managers.
Fragile Foundation
The capital markets have recovered … or have they?
Industrial Index. That said, they also haven't recovered as well. Within that, the stocks that were most hurt during the contagion were those that had more sensitivity to commodity prices—companies with large wholesale generation fleets. They underperformed the other utilities on the downswing and have outperformed them on the upswing.
Yield is an important component of investor perceptions of utility valuations. Utilities are regarded as income stocks. Some believe utility stocks are poised to outperform as their dividend yields are higher than the sector's bond yields, and price-earnings ratios are compelling vs. the overall market.
On the other hand, many investors are skeptical about growth with significant declines in industrial demand.
In terms of new issuance, we've seen the return of utility common stock dribble programs, where utilities issue stock continuously to reduce market-access risk and manage price volatility. More traditional issuance activity is being driven from rate-base growth, environmental cap-ex and transmission spending.
Volatile Access
Fortnightly: How have merchant power and midstream gas companies weathered the financial crisis? How do the capital markets look for them?
Bilicic: Unlike in 2002 and 2003, the non-regulated components of the energy industry have been relatively stable as compared to other parts of the economy. We haven't seen the sorts of restructuring activity levels that we have seen elsewhere. Companies in this area have solid capital markets access at the moment, but should be mindful of the volatility of that access.
Nastro: Our industry has been able to finance throughout the cycle. High-yield rates reached their all-time high in December 2008, and since then spreads have tightened dramatically. Both Calpine and NRG have been able to issue high-yield debt at coupon rates better than 9 percent, which speaks to the way the utility space is perceived and differentiated within the high-yield investor universe.
In terms of leveraged loans and loan maturities, if you look out through 2011, not a lot of refinancing needs to be done. But a wave of debt maturities begins in 2012, as financial sponsors begin to refinance debt from recent leveraged buyouts. For example, Energy Future Holdings, the former TXU, faces material maturities beginning in 2013 and 2014.
At this point, the leveraged loan market is still in disarray and may be for some time to come, because the primary buyers—the CLO investors and hedge funds—have seen significant investor redemptions, and that will result in continued market contraction.
Fortnightly: What's the outlook for mergers and acquisitions? If the financial storm is passing, will consolidation resume?
Bilicic: We see all the fundamentals coming into place where there would be robust consolidation, except that, given the way this industry is regulated, it's difficult for companies to pursue consolidation. In particular, the intense rate-case cycle that many companies are in right now will slow the emergence of any consolidation trend. On average, we should see between three and five notable transactions a year. M&A activity was dormant last fall and winter, because, among other things, it was difficult to know what relevant parties were worth in the environment. But now with

Got this ring from my dad and I totally love the black color of it as it makes it very classy. The band is very comfortable as well.
I am very glad I ordered this ring. It's a good product at a good price. It's also very unique.
I bought myself this ring and I am very please. Good pricing and great product.
I got this from my boyfriend a month ago. It's a fantastic gift and I am very please with it. Pricing is good and it's of a very good quality for that price.
I got this ring to go with my black diamond engagement ring. When I recieved it, I was completely disappointed. The silver looks fake, the ring sets so high it kept pushing my engagement ring up my finger and alot of the diamonds looked like they were sprayed with something. The quality of this ring is very poor. I had it one day and will be returning it today. Also, shipment took a lot longer than usual. Not very happy with overstock on this one. And I've bought quite a few things from overstock for myself and others. This may change my judgement with overstock.
Items must be returned in new or unused condition and contain all original materials included with the shipment.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Not all university presidents in Virginia receive the same fringe benefits.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that some universities offer presidents incentive or retention bonuses. Other schools don't.
Christopher Newport University President Paul S. Trible's contract includes a yearly bonus if he meets fundraising goals. He's the only president with such a contract provision.
Trible says the bonus comes from funds that are separate from gifts to the university
Some schools also provide presidents with an automobile. Others provide an allowance for presidents to use their own vehicles.
Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger is the only public four-year school president in Virginia who works without a contract. He says he's never had a contract.

Movement 1: Un poco sostenuto Allegro
Movement 2: Scherzo: Vivace
Movement 3: Adagio
Movement 4: Allegro vivace
The first movement, Un poco sostenuto – Allegro, immediately awakens our senses and draws us into the composer's imagery of his country. The main theme seems to portray a heavy burden, alarming yet dignified at the same time, and this is juxtaposed with the lyricism of the second theme creating a vibrant and impressive canvas. And yet, despite the strength of this movement, it ends in quiet reflection, as if of lingering memories. As Bortkiewicz wrote: 'the first part of the symphony is about the tragedy, the passions, the suffering, the struggle that comes to rest in the presence of the fascinating, beautiful nature. In a small Andante the immense, monotonous steppe is transformed into music. The sorrow and the longing resounds through, after which everything spreads out, like a man getting his rest while he sleeps'.
The second movement, a scherzo, seems to draw upon Ukrainian dance themes and introduces to the symphony the merriment and joviality of a popular feast, a celebration of life in the rural villages of his country, people drawn together to enjoy the music-making of the skomarokhs, the village buffoon players. Bortkiewicz wrote: 'the scherzo is a cheerful piece in which life in a Russian village is portrayed; for example balalaika choirs, of shepherds and their flocks—exuberant cheerfulness, lusty dances and the laughter of girls. The piece is of Mozartian joviality, but nevertheless very Russian. After the trio the scherzo is repeated, as a remembrance to the happy, cheerful Russian people …'.
The third movement is a prayer tempered with an almost overwhelming sense of sorrow—a lament of exile. Like the Second Symphony of Rachmaninov, this is the heart and soul of the symphony and its sense of loneliness and loss is profound. Here, according to Bortkiewicz, 'the composer has expressed his sorrow. After a powerful outpouring of sorrow the theme of the first part is repeated ('Fate'); full of longing for lost happiness, this part closed with the harrowing lamentation of the cellos'.
'The finale', wrote the composer, 'represents a big popular festival, an annual fair or a carnival, as a reminiscence to happier days long gone. It is a lively place, the people are full of elation, dances of wild rhythmic abandon. Suddenly a frightening silence, after which a powerful crescendo, the main theme ('Fate') in all its greatness resounds and gradually dies away. With an apotheosis, the symphony ends impressively with the former hymn to the Tsar'.
Here in the final movement we enjoy the spectacle of a flamboyant and impetuous Cossack dance—dynamic, expressive, rushing headlong in a whirlpool of fiery movement. Then, all of a sudden, the opening motif of the first movement returns to complete the circle, and the symphony ends in a final salute to the land that Bortkiewicz remembered, a land under the rule of the Tsars.
Van Dalen was later to conclude that 'the work is masterly, evenly sophisticated in its instrumentation and design, very colourful and full of variation. Here is no experiment of modernism, but here speaks an intense musical soul, which only wants to give genuine art'.

We have updated our Vermont vital records database to include more than 230,000 pre-1871 death records filed at the state level. These records are currently held by the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration. With the addition of these records, this collection now includes more than 1.2 million birth records, more than 1.5 million marriage records, and more than 1 million death records. Names of parents and spouses have also been indexed, when available.
The records held in this collection refer to the statewide index of vital records maintained by the Vermont State Archives. Town clerks were required to send copies of vital records to the state beginning in 1857. The state government began creating a statewide index to these records in 1919. The original vital records are still held at the town level. It may be possible to obtain a copy of the original record by contacting the corresponding town clerk's office.
Pre-1871 Vermont birth and marriage records are not available online at this time; but, they will be added to our digital collections in the future. Records of births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in the past five years are located at the Vermont Vital Records Office.
If you have any questions about this, or any other database on the AmericanAncestors.org website, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Epic Meal Time: Thanksgiving Voltron

Happy Thanksgiving from the whole Epic Meal Time team!

Happy Thanksgiving from the whole Epic Meal Time team!
Ownage Pranks called a guy to apply for a babysitting position. He's had a couple bad experiences with babysitters in the past, but not to worry -- we're excellent child care experts!
The gang from CinemaSins and Cracked concocts a Chuck E. Cheese nightmare scenario.
We try out Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Exo co-op mode for the first time. It's a pretty self-destructive time.
Disney thought they could sneak one by us, sleepwalking their way through a Tim Burton paint-by-numbers "re-imagining" Disney was wrong. Sins of Maleficent!
This is NOT the same thing as Italian Breakfast.
The gang from Cracked came to our hometown of Nashville and holed up in a house with us for a weekend, writing and producing sketch videos. This is one of them.
Everything you need to know to crank out a smashing good British crime film.
Long before The Hunger Games, there was Battle Royale. It's violent, bloody, confusing as hell, and kind of cool. It's a cult classic... and like any movie, it has sins.
Taking cookies and milk to the next level!
Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best movies of the year. It's funny, clever, action-packed, and full of confusing alien/time-travel stuff. It also has sins, like any movie, so... you know how we do.
Pizza pancakes... what else do you need?
Pumpkin Spice up your life.
This is a movie about going back in time to erase previous terrible movies... so from a sin-finding perspective, it never stood a chance.
Take 3 minutes out of your day and learn how to make a Michael Bay movie. It's a lot easier than you might think, though you may still struggle to put the $200 million budget together.
It's that time of year where you can find pumpkin spice everything. Fact: We don't even like pumpkin spice.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November. There are a bunch of sins here, so... buckle up.
M. Night Shyamalan made a couple good movies, then he made a bunch of crap. Most people believe Signs to be the turning point... both good and crap all mixed together. Regardless, we went looking for sins, and boy did we ever find some.
Furious Pete ate a £1,237 ($2,000) Burger in the U.K. Here's how it went down!
If you've ever asked yourself how you can make churros more Canadian, then obviously you've never had a Beaver Tail. Now's your chance.

Today, I answered the door wearing my gasmask as a codpiece and holding my wife's cat upside down by the tail.
This, for the stubborn ones. :yes:
Had my girlfriend climb all over me while I spoke at the door, wearing a towel and saying that8 need saving... after all the liquor and untraditional sex i'd been having, I must have the Devil in me.
Also answered once wearing boxer and a dog collar, leash attached, while blaring Izzy.
Lived in Mo Valley, Ca. for 2 years in mid 90's and it was every Saturday morning. Never let one 'want' to come back so it was a different one every week. Sometimes i'd still be drunk so I would grab a bottle and just ad lib.
Today, I answered the door wearing my gasmask as a codpiece and holding my wife's cat upside down by the tail.
This, for the stubborn ones. :yes:
You people are weird I just start throwing water balloons.
At my old house, you can see from the front door right to the back porch. I had a party one day, and we got it going around noon. JWs come by around 3, and could see me get up from the boozeathon. I came out, hey how ya doin, etc. and after the pleasantries they say 'you ever hear of Jesus?' and I said 'yeah, I've heard the name. Want to come in for a drink and talk about hm?' They declined and never came back.
[QUOTE=Jets_Penguin;4350688]Actually I was going to say the same thing. My wife and I answered the door naked, held it open and invited them in. We told them we were nudists but wouldnt mind hearing their point of view. They politely said they would come back another time.......that was 12 years ago. :D[/QUOTE]
Some poor bastard decided to spread the word while I was getting divorced facing legal issues and clearing out my house so I could give it over to the ex, in the middle of a 4 day alcohol binge from hell.
Boxer shorts running shoes bottle of vodka and a plunger upon greeting my guest at the door at 930 am. Faint memories of me walking them down the driveway screaming who is your God vodka and plunger in tow, my neighbor Keith hosing down his driveway loving every minute of it. Keith was a rabid atheist lawyer. Good times
Door Knockers?
Tell them you worship the Dark One, Lord of Darkness, Lucifer, and if they'd like to come in an exchange ideas, you'd be happy to have them....in your basement.
Odds are, they won;t come back....but new ones will eventually.

"Men will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them."
I don't need anyone coming to my door repeatedly to get me to convert to a "religion" that will supposedly save me over another.
Play this song, and dance like this when you answer the door. Problem solved.

The JW's hang in the Shop Rite parking lot and hand out their pamphlets.
[QUOTE=John_0515;4350574]I'm sorry, but I told this woman (Ellie), that I don't want to be saved. I have my own religion, and I don't want to insult hers. She keeps coming back to my house and ringing my doorbell saying that we can all be in Paradise together.
Today, I answered the door wearing my gasmask and holding my wife's cat. I wanted to have fun with it since she didn't get the hint.
I don't think she'll be back.
Any stories from you guys related to this?[/QUOTE]
any one coming back that many times to tell me something positive, i would applaud their perseverance.
This is the reason I keep an anatomically-correct Jesus mannequin just inside the front door. Whenever those moonies come knocking, I rip open the Lord's shroud and start teabagging him. The soul solicitors go running.
I dont believe any of these door answering stories.
Not one.
Except Jetsthings teabargin a dude.
Ask them. Why bother? Don't you guys already have your 144,000 that are going to heaven? Go home and relax.

Nah, it was two wrinkle old ladies and a 16 yr old.....lol ok so maybe We made the kids day
Seems like a lot of effort. The simple solution is a 75 lb German Shepherd standing behind you barking when you answer the door. It dissuades solicitors of all races, colors and creeds, whether they're selling you their God, encyclopedias, or lower energy rates.
Try 1 of these.

I actually did say that to her once, and asked her if she was a descendant of one of the twelve tribes of Canaan.

I watched the same show on the history of shock rock.

Just a quick letter to tell you how pleased I am with the jewelry I ordered for my wife. She has her eyebrow pierced, and wanted something "different." I ordered her the gold gem set fixed ring, and when it came in the mail (rather quickly I might add) she was extremely happy. It was EXACTLY what I wanted for her. The little black box it came in was a nice touch too. There is no doubt that the ring I ordered is high quality, and it's beautiful! Your customer service is outstanding also! Everytime she had a question, there was an answer within 24 hours after e-mailing you. I know she will be the envy of all her friends. Thanks so much! I will recommend your site to anyone looking for body jewelry of quality. Sincerely, John and Chris

2014-15 Bowl AgreementsCollege football will enter a new four-team playoff era beginning with the 2014-15 season.
The format is simple: the best four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a championship game played in a different city each year.
A group of individuals with experience as coaches, student-athletes, collegiate administrators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors, comprise the selection committee. The group will meet in person several times each year.
The selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on body of work, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors.
Fans will enjoy back-to-back triple headers. Two semifinals and four other premier bowl games will be played on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Semifinal games will rotate among six different bowls
extending the experience to more fans. The championship game will be on a Monday night every year.
The Management Committee will select cities to host the National Championship Game. A city can host a bowl game and the championship game in the same year. A city, cannot, however, host a semifinal and championship game in the same year.
Every FBS team will have equal access to the playoff based on its performance. No team will qualifty automatically.
The FBS conferences will manage the College Football Playoff. University presidents and chancellors from the 10 leagues and Notre Dame form the Board of Managers and will govern the administrative operations, with commissioners (the Management Committee) and managing the event with guidance from an advisory group of athletics directors.
In addition to creating a four-team playoff, the new postseason structure preserves the best regular season in sports and protects America's rich bowl tradition.

It's Monday morning so you know what that means? A fresh dose of fash-spiration from this week's best dressers. We were spoilt for choice with fab-ul-ous outfits this week, as our style crushes Kate Middleton, Diane Kruger, the Olsens, Kate Moss and more were all out and about.
It was a big week for Kate Moss as she broke her radio silence and read 50 shades of Grey on Radio 1 and she also partied in an Autumn 2013 Louis Vuitton slip at L'Oreal's Kerastase Event. Mossy is still top of our style list as she hit London parties in a white fur coat, a grey jumpsuit and signature shades. Will we EVER get bored of the Kate Moss style formula?
Speaking of style crushes, we loved Diane Kruger's white cropped Carven blouse paired with a red leather Vanessa Bruno midi skirt to an appearance for The Host. It was also a good week for Eva Mendes in the style stakes as she made our best dressed list not once, but twice. First up she was seen on the streets of NY in a striking pink coat and then she went to an event in delicate yellow and pink lace Valentino.
Last week Kim Kardashian debuted a new eye-sweeping fringe and (obvs) she filmed the whole drama and shared it with her Twitter followers. Her new crop has done good things for her style, as she looked chic and relaxed in casual tailoring and a loose white shirt when shopping with her sis Kourtney. Much better than the tight, uncomfy, dresses she has worn earlier in her pregnancy.
It was also the opening of the Dior extravaganza at Harrods, where Natalia Vodianova posed in a LBD in front of a grey Dior phone box and Liberty Ross went for pillar box red. Our only question is why aren't all phone boxes made by Dior?
Elsewhere in tinseltown Mary Kate and Ashley wore head to toe black, Jessica Biel wore some sheer trousers, Chloe Sevigny wore Chloé and Jessica Alba had the perfect book promo tour wardrobe.
So what are you waiting for? Take a look through the gallery above to see the weekend's best dressed and let us know who gets your vote...

I love RTM, and have been a pro member for a few years now. However, the Android app is really starting to feel dated. I have a Galaxy Nexus phone and a Tranformer Prime tablet, both of which run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). The RTM Android app doesn't take advantage of any of the new ICS UI features, which includes properly formatting it for a tablet.

Having used the iPad version of RTM, RTM on an android tablet is a bit of a let-down. It's great on my Android Gingerbread phone, but not taking advantage of the extra resolution/screen size on a ICS or Jellybean tablet is a shame.
