Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results
Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEET) today announced its second quarter results for the fiscal period ended July 1, 2012, which included 13 weeks.
In this release, the Company:
• Reports diluted earnings per share of $0.30
• Reports net revenue growth of 5%Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary For the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2012, net revenue increased 5% to $95.4 million from $90.6 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share was $0.30, compared to $0.38 for the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. Retail net revenue increased 4% to $55.4 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2012, from $53.4 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase was driven by a higher average transaction and an $874,000 sales tax refund related to resolution of a sales tax computation interpretation with the taxing authorities. The Company did not open any stores in the quarter and ended the quarter with 197 stores. Specialty net revenue increased 7% to $40.0 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2012, compared to $37.3 million for the corresponding period last year. Within specialty, grocery sales were up 5% compared to the corresponding period last year, foodservice and office sales grew 15%, and home delivery sales grew 3%. Grocery revenue growth was impacted by an increase in competitive pricing pressure during the period. Cost of sales and related occupancy expenses increased as a percent of total net revenue to 50.4% for the quarter, compared to 49.2% for the corresponding period last year. The increase was caused by higher green coffee costs, which were 16% higher per pound than the same quarter last year. This increase was partially offset by price increases across all channels and lower shipping expenses. Operating expenses were 31.2% of net revenue, compared to 31.1% for the corresponding period last year. A favorable mix shift towards the specialty business and lower legal fees were substantially offset by higher healthcare costs, payment card processing fees, and investments in overhead expenses.

New legislation regarding adoptions—The Legislature passed SCS SB 1258—This act limits the state's allowable fee for processing certain adoption documents to $100 per child per adoption, or per multiple children adopted at the same time. This bill went into effect on August 28, 2002.
The Secretary of State's Office accepts checks, money orders,
(made payable to Director of Revenue) MasterCard, Visa,
American Express or Discover. For MasterCard, Visa,
American Express and Discover the following must be included
in a cover letter accompanying the documents: your name
exactly as it appears on the credit card, credit card number,
expiration date and approval for the office to charge the
account. Documents sent by special delivery using a credit
card number must include a completed air bill.
MISSOURI birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses or divorce decrees should be certified by the issuing agency. Birth and death certificates should be obtained from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Vital Records, 930 Wildwood, PO Box 570, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0570. There is a fee charged by Vital Records for these copies. Vital Records will issue a certified copy of these MISSOURI records and we will authenticate this certified copy. Marriage licenses and divorce decrees can sometimes be obtained from the county recorder of deeds offices where they have been recorded for public record. In this case the recorder of deeds will issue and sign the copy of the original document. (Sample document FRONT; sample document BACK.) We will then authenticate the official act of the recorder of deeds.
Apostilles are issued by our office for all documents going to countries who are members of the 1961 Hague Convention. The Convention provides for a simplified certificate for public documents to be used in the countries which have joined the Convention. With only an Apostille, the document is entitled to recognition in the country of its intended use. The Apostille MUST BE REQUESTED for documents going to the member countries. Our office has a reference list of these countries.
Documents issued by educational institutions for foreign students are also certified by our office.
The face of a diploma should not be altered by the registrar or notary.
The registrar or other authority of the school must sign a statement, which is typed on the BACK of the diploma or transcript. The wording in this statement says that the diploma or transcript is either the original record issued by the school or a copy of the original document issued by the school and the date it was issued.
The signature of the school official is witnessed by a notary public. The notary states that he/she saw the school official sign the document. (Sample Jurat for this purpose)
If the school does not issue a diploma for foreign students, a notarized letter from the registrar or other school authority must be given to the student. This letter must state that the student has completed the requirements for graduation from that school, but the school does not issue diplomas for foreign students. This letter is notarized in the same manner as other notarized school documents. (Sample document.)
The secretary of state's office is pleased to forward documents directly to a third party if a stamped addressed envelope to the third party is enclosed with the letter of request. If the third party is a consulate or embassy for the country requiring the documents, it is practical to include a letter of instruction to them with their fees.
We will also return or forward documents by overnight mail if a prepaid self addressed mailer is enclosed with the letter of request.
Notarizing a foreign language document is not illegal. CAUTION should be used as the notary is dependent upon the signer to explain the contents. The notarization could invalidate the document since the document might contain specific instructions to the notary as to placement of the notary seal. You may be perceived by your foreign constituent as doing more than merely witnessing signatures.
You may want to suggest to your constituent to find a notary who speaks the language. Most large cities have ethnic neighborhoods where bilingual notaries can be found. A college or university is another source for bilingual people. Perhaps the document could be translated and you could notarize the English translation.
Many countries have foreign consulate offices. The offices can be found in the yellow pages of a phone book. One of the consulate's duties is to notarize documents destined for the home country. Most of these officials have the same powers as notaries public.
If you are requested to notarize a document in another language, you will want to note this in our journal. You may want to complete an English language notary certificate with an English certificate, you will know what you have notarized because this can be stated in your certificate.
Please call (866) 223-6535, (573) 751-4756 or 751-2783 if you need any additional information or have any questions regarding certification of documents.
NOTE: Missouri notaries cannot certify any birth certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees or marriage licenses. These documents must be obtained from and certified by the issung agencies or recorder of deeds.

Hey guys. Hope you're all doing well.
Just wanted to give y'all a heads up that I'm probably going to be shutting this account down soon. Won't be updating anymore. I'll be putting everything into storage, I think. No more journals, no more art.
I'll probably keep a few people on my watch list active just to keep up with them. My watchers will all remain on that list; I may not be on all that often, but I would like to be able to pop in now and then and see how you're all doing. I'll be willing to answer if anyone wants to talk. Just drop me a note or a message and I'll get back to you whenever I drop by. Probably once every week or two, unless I have active conversations going.
I apologize to any of you that I've grown close to over the years. For a long time DA was a haven to me. A shelter filled with friends and sources of happiness. I don't feel that when I get on anymore. I log in here and it just feels... empty, I guess. I feel empty. The only reason I really get on anymore is to empty out my inbox and it feels more like an obligation or a chore than a source of enjoyment.
With the direction my life is going now I have way too bloody much on my plate to be wasting time on things that don't provide me with something; be it happiness or productivity. And at this point, even things that provide happiness are probably going to wind up on the back burner. (Not that it matters much.) There's just too much to do...
If anyone is interested at all (though I don't expect it, to be perfectly honest), I do have a Tumblr account I'll be maintaining. I'm willing to give out my username and/or email address to anyone who cares to keep in touch. Just let me know.
Sorry for leaving you guys more or less in the dark on this. I just can't discuss things like this.
Who knows? Maybe one day I'll come back to this. Maybe one day I'll feel at ease enough to explain my motivations. But right now there's just no way.
I just want to take this time to say thank you. To all of you. Whether we're on good terms, or not so good terms. Whether you're my watchers or just a person skimming through by chance. Friends, family, whatever you are. Thank you for being part of my life, for shaping me into the person I've become and that I am continuing to grow into. I've spent most of my life feeling isolated and alone in this world; to a great degree I still do. Looking around on here, I may not feel the same happiness I used to, but I see the fingerprints of memories on everything. Some good, some bad. All of them indications and evidence that there really have been people there for me over the years.
I need those memories right now. I'll need them for a long time running.
Thank you all for being part of them.
I'll miss you all.
Do take care, alright? Try to be happy.
Smile often.
- Jessica

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Dramatic testimony Thursday during a preliminary hearing for a woman charged with murdering her husband, a local Army sergeant.
Eugenia Campbell and Alexander Williams are charged with the shooting death of Sergeant ReMano Campbell at his Eight Mile home in 2011.
ReMano Campbell's mother, Patricia, wore a T-shirt with her son's picture and was in the courtroom listening to testimony given by authorities.
She said, "Some things that came out today just went to my head, how he was murdered."
Mobile County District Attorney investigator Mike Morgan testified Williams confessed to the murder after his arrest.
Mobile County Assistant District Attorney Jill Phillips told reporters, "According to the Defendant Williams statement, was, yes, Eugenia Campbell provided him with the weapon, drove him to the location, agreed to split insurance proceeds with him, and picked him up from the location, and that, sometime after her husband's death, they established a residence together and since had a child together."
Eugenia Campbell's attorney, Jonathan Friedlander, maintains her innocence.
Friedlander said, "The co-defendant said things about her without really a whole lot to back it up."
Police also testified ReMano Campbell was shot about 13 times.
Patricia Campbell said, "That was the hardest part, them telling us how he emptied the clip on him like that. That was my baby."
A detective also testified Williams told him the insurance policy Eugenia Campbell agreed to split with him was worth about $200,000.
Patricia Campbell said, "You can make $200,000 a year if you got out and worked. What's that?"
Campbell and Williams were both ordered held without bond.
Their case has been sent to a grand jury.

1. When did you start playing lacrosse? How did you get started?
I started playing lacrosse as soon as I was old enough to sign up, I think I was five. I got started because my dad played and he had a stick in my hands early.
2. When did you realize that lacrosse was going to be more than just a hobby?
I realized that lacrosse was going to be more than a hobby when I started looking at University options in junior high school. I realized that if I stuck with it, and really committed, I could get an education and possibly a career out of it.
3. What is the biggest difference between field and indoor lacrosse?
The biggest difference in my opinion between the outdoor and indoor games is the surface size. The smaller surface tailors to a game that involves tact and skill a little more than the athleticism. Where as in the outdoor game athleticism tends to be more dominant. Not to say that all aren;t important in both.
4. How does playing one (field or indoor) help you in playing the other?
Playing both keeps the stick in your hands all year round. It doesn't allow your skills to take any steps backwards in an off-season. It also keeps your mind thinking about lacrosse in different ways. Situations and how you deal with them can transfer between the two quite often.
5. Which lacrosse players did you idolize growing up?
Obviously I idolized the Gait brothers. Not only being the best lacrosse players ever, but also because they were from my hometown.
6. What are your hobbies outside of lacrosse?
My hobbies outside of lacrosse are going on hikes with my dog and/or friends, going to the lake or ocean in the summer, reading, and video games. Really just try and fill my down time with things that don't require a whole lot of effort.
7. What is your favorite vacation spot?
My favorite vacation spot I have been to would have to be Thailand. If I could think of a vacation spot I really want to get to, it would have to be Italy and or Greece.
8. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items would you want to have with you?
1. a lot of sunscreen 2. mike and ikes 3. Knife…. Kinda boring I know...
9. What is your favorite moment of your lacrosse career?
My favorite moment would have to be the Colorado game last year where I broke the rookie scoring record and got the game winner in OT.
10. What goals do you have for the rest of your lacrosse career?
My main goal outside of winning championships is to prolong my career as long as possible. Stay as healthy and in shape as I can to play as long as I can. Along the way I want to help the game grow as much as possible as well.

Isle of Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky (70cl) - £18 at the Co-op - One of the nicest single malts I've tasted...a bargain at £18! Bought this evening at Danescourt, Cardiff but pretty sure it's a nation-wide offer.

- RufusA4 years, 10 months ago #4Show comment tools ReplyShame they put the price up!
It used to be under £17 in co-op before Christmas, managed to stock up on a couple of bottles to tide me over the winter months!
Voted hot as it's a cracking whisky (for the money), and you don't get many malts for under £20 post Christmas.
- SimonBob4 years, 10 months ago #5Show comment tools ReplyI think the price increase is due to VAT going back up to 17.5%...although I may (as usual) be wrong!

I'm pretty sure I glimpsed Laphroaig on a special offer somewhere this week - must have been the Co-op as that's the only supermarket I've been in.
But I'm still in the process of tanning the bottle of Jura I got for Christmas so I never checked it out properly.
- AberdeenDad4 years, 10 months ago #10Show comment tools ReplyLaphroiag was on offer a week ago in the co-op for something like £17.70. It is on offer just now in Oddbins for £23!
Jura is a good malt, not at all like Islay ones. Good price for a good malt.

Cold War Historian Illuminates Library Lecture Series
by John T. Hughes Library Staff
November 7, 2013
Much is made of the larger-than-life characters who pepper the chronicles of bygone eras, such as CIA Director William "Wild Bill" Donovan and Gen. William "Westy" Westmoreland. Recently though, author and historian Frank Leith Jones (right) spoke to an audience at the NIU John T. Hughes Library about a lesser-known player and subject of his biography Robert "Blowtorch" Komer.
In "Blowtorch: Robert Komer, Vietnam and American Cold War Strategy," Jones documents the professional life of Komer, a second echelon civil servant whose career spanned the decades from the post-World War II CIA to the Carter Administration. Komer was a valued advisor to President Lyndon Johnson and developer of the U.S. pacification and counterinsurgency strategy (CORDS) under Gen. Westmoreland in Vietnam, but still is not widely recognized for the role he played in the development of U.S. foreign policy. The biography was written to change that.
Jones, a professor of security studies at the US Army War College and former policy and strategy Senior Executive for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, said in his talk that Komer's ideas for developing and implementing strategy came as much from his broad background in history as his experiences as a military historian during World War II and analyst in the early days of the CIA. Harvard-educated and influenced by such early intelligence strategists such as Sherman Kent among others, Komer viewed strategic intelligence as a social science and believed in the influence intelligence can have on strategy. As Jones said in the book, Komer achieved a reputation as one "who could formulate a strategy that would harness the elements of national power to achieve policy objectives and then vigorously and doggedly pursue its implementation."
It's that vigor and dogged pursuit that inspired Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. to coin Komer's nickname. Lodge claimed Komer's aggressive personality and tenacity when carrying out a plan was "like having a blowtorch aimed at the seat of one's pants." Jones' engaging presentation sparked a lively conversation during the audience Q&A. The author and participants discussed the role a background in history like Komer's plays in informing intelligence analysis and policy. Jones entreated young analysts and policy makers to just "Read!" and reiterated that an understanding of the broader historical context of world issues will bring a better informed presence to their work.
The NIU John T. Hughes Library presents bimonthly "Meet the Author" events featuring published authors to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and NIU to discuss their books and answer questions from the DIA and wider Intelligence Community. Future events will be published on the NIU Main Page under Upcoming Events.

Don't Mess With Triple D! Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off Caption Itby Joseph Erdos in Shows, January 18th, 2013
This season of Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off takes the celebrity contestants to different places every challenge. In the first episode, the celebrities had it easy in the theater. The second episode had them far out of their element on a farm. But the third episode finds the contestants in a venue that's pretty familiar for Guy.
In the above sneak-peek photo it appears Rachael and Guy are discussing the dishes in front of them, when all of a sudden they're distracted by something. Whatever it is, it's enough to draw a look from Guy and crack up Rachael. What did someone say to Rachael and Guy? What did Guy say in response? Will the teams be able to handle the challenge or will they give up?
We're challenging you, Rachael vs. Guy fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this moment in the comments below.

I Love watching Dean…Why can't we just make a BIG OLE cookie cutter of this big sweet heart and replicate this big gentle giant ALL over the US!!!! I Love him he is my New Heart Throb!!!!! (wink, wink) I'm rooting for him because of his spirit and passion.
I love Rachael, Guy and ALL of the contestants, but this show is really pathetic! Sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts!
something new and then decide! My kids did too. If they really didn't like it they were not made to eat it. But they did have to re-try it every so often. Tastes do change over time.

Chef and owner of three award-winning restaurants in New Orleans: Herbsaint, Cochon and Cochon Butcher, and his newest endeavor, Pêche Seafood Grill
Famous for: Bringing national attention back to Cajun cooking.
Snapshot: Owner of four award- winning archetypal eating establishments in the warehouse district of New Orleans. Herbsaint, his first restaurant, carries a French bistro theme. Cochon, which he runs with his partner Stephen Stryjewski, is a bastion of true Cajun cooking. Cochon Butcher is an old-world butcher and charcuterie, and Calcasieu is a private event facility. Link and his partners have announced plans to open Pêche Seafood Grill in New Orleans this spring.
Recent accomplishments: Herbsaint earned him a James Beard Foundation Award in 2007 for Best Chef: South. In 2012, and again this year, Link was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for the prestigious award of Outstanding Chef. His first cookbook, Real Cajun, won the top James Beard Foundation Award for Best American Cookbook.
Family heritage: Besides his hunting and fishing experiences as a boy, Link had 35 aunts and uncles who made their own deer and pork sausages. His cousin Dwayne built the smokehouse for Cochon Lafayette.
Inspiration: "After attending culinary school in California, I worked with Albert Tordjman at the Flying Saucer in San Francisco. He was a maniac and an amazing cook. Working with him, I realized there was a future in cooking for me."
First experience with Louisiana Seafood: Going shrimping, crabbing and fishing with my dad and grandfather.
Loves Louisiana Seafood because: "Its diversity, depth and sweetness."
Signature Louisiana Seafood dish: "We fry soft shell crabs, then toss them with chilies, butter and our signature hot sauce. You don't want to fool around with them any more than that."
Where he catches Louisiana Seafood: "The Toledo Bend Reservoir for freshwater fish, and the waters near Port Sulphur and Pointe à la Hache for redfish and drum."
Favorite memory: "Coming back from a morning of bass fishing and smelling the bacon my mother was cooking as we drove up to the camp."
Best cook he ever knew: "My granddad. He was the best, hands down. He made creamed corn, cornbread and smothered goose and squirrel. You didn't mess with him. We ate whatever he cooked."
A childhood favorite not on any of his menus: Squirrel and dumplings with cornbread and smothered greens. "Unless you go out and find a squirrel to shoot, you can't really eat them. But you can use rabbit."
On my day off: "I play tennis two or three times a week. Or at least I try."
Favorite snack: Has a cup of gumbo and a couple of slices of boudin every day.
Kid stuff: "Helping my daughter catch her first 'bull red' on Lake Hermitage is one of my favorite moments."
Why he's a cook: "I love it. The first time I did it, I said, 'I'm going to do this forever.' I love the Zen beauty of cooking, the oneness with food."

Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a baking sheet; season with the kosher salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Top the fillets with the sliced garlic and drizzle with half of the oil. Use your fingers to distribute the oil and seasonings evenly over the fish, then set the fish aside to marinate while you heat the grill. Fire up your grill to a medium-high setting. (If you are using charcoal, the coals should be mostly white.) Place the fillets scale-side-down on the hot grill. Cover the grill and cook the fish without moving for 7 to 10 minutes, until it is just cooked through; it will flake easily when tested with a paring knife. (You can also cook the fish "on the half shell" on an oiled baking sheet in a 475ºF oven for 6 to 8 minutes.) Using a metal spatula, transfer the fillets to serving plates and top with sea salt and parsley, a little extra olive oil, and lemon juice.

Houey et al v. TD Bank, N.A.
Filing 18
ORDER denying without prejudice 10 Motion to Remand to State Court; denying without prejudice 12 Motion to Cancel Foreclosure Sale. The plaintiffs may file response to TD Bank's motion to Dismiss 7 on or before 15 days from entry of this Order.. Signed by District Judge Martin Reidinger on 11/8/2011. (Pro se litigant served by US Mail.)(pdf)
THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA ASHEVILLE DIVISION CIVIL CASE NO. 1:11cv225 HELEN CLIETTE HOUEY and EMMANUEL HOUEY, ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Plaintiffs, vs. CAROLINA FIRST BANK, TD BANK, Defendants. ORDER ) THIS MATTER is before the Court on the following: 1. A Motion for Remand [Doc. 10] filed in this matter by Michelle Smith; 2. TD Bank's Motion to Dismiss [Doc. 7]; and 3. A Motion to Cancel Foreclosure Sale [Doc. 12] filed in this matter by Michelle Smith. PROCEDURAL HISTORY In August 2011, Plaintiffs Helen Cliette Houey and Emmanuel Houey (Houeys), appearing pro se, filed a thirty-seven page Complaint in state court alleging eighteen causes of action against the Defendants. [Doc. 1-1]. The Houeys alleged $290,000.00 in damages stemming primarily from the Defendants' foreclosure of real property owned by Plaintiff Helen Houey in Shelby, North Carolina. [Id.]. The property at issue has been pledged as collateral for a commercial promissory note which is purportedly in default. [Id.]. TD Bank is the successor by merger to Carolina First Bank, and it removed the action to this Court on September 8, 2011 on the basis of both diversity and federal question jurisdiction. [Doc. 1]. In response to the removal, Michelle Smith (Smith) filed the motions to remand the action to state court and to cancel the foreclosure sale.1 [Doc. 10]. In the motion to remand, Smith states that she has changed the names of the Plaintiffs because Emmanuel Houey does not own the real property at issue; instead, she and Helen Houey allegedly own the property. [Id.]. Helen Houey has not, however, moved for leave to amend the Complaint to add Smith as a party plaintiff. Fed.R.Civ.P. 15. Nor has Smith moved for leave to intervene in the action as a plaintiff. Fed.R.Civ.P. 24. Instead, Smith has simply signed both of the pending motions on behalf of Helen Houey. [Doc. 10]. In addition, Plaintiff Emmanuel Houey has not moved to dismiss the claims he has asserted against the Defendants. 1 Smith is allegedly the daughter of Helen Houey. [Doc. 1-1 at 56]. 2 DISCUSSION "While [28 U.S.C. §1654] allows [Michelle Smith] to prosecute [her] own actions in propria persona, that right is personal to [her], and absent some other statutory authorization, [she] has no authority to prosecute an action in federal court on behalf of others than [herself]." Stoner v. Santa Clara County Office of Education, 502 F.3d 1116, 1126 (9 th Cir. 2007), cert. denied 552 U.S. 1281, 128 S.Ct. 1728, 170 L.Ed.2d 515 (2008). Even the non-attorney parent of a minor child may not represent the interests of that child in litigation. Myers v. Loudoun County Public Schools, 418 F.3d 395 (4 th Cir. 2005). The right to litigate one's claims without an attorney does not give rise to the right to litigate for others. Id., at 400; Kelly v. University Health Systems, 2011 WL 780597 (E.D.N.C. 2011) (daughter could not bring action on behalf of mother in pro se capacity); accord, Navin v. Park Ridge Sch. Dist., 270 F.3d 1147, 1149 (7 th Cir. 2001) (stating pro se litigants lack authority to represent the interests of other parties). Helen Houey has not moved for leave to amend the Complaint and Smith has not moved for leave to intervene in this action. Moreover, even if Smith were a party to the action, she still could not represent the interests of her mother because she is not licensed as an attorney in this Court. As a 3 result, the motions to remand and to cancel will be denied without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the named Plaintiffs to so move. It is also noted that the Houeys have failed to respond to the Defendants' motion to dismiss. The Houeys will be provided with a short period of time within which to file response. Smith, however, is cautioned that she may not prepare and file response on behalf of her mother. S.E.C. v. White, 2011 WL 1544202 (D.S.C. 2011) (noting that even if family member holds power of attorney for party, non-lawyer cannot represent pro se party without violating law regarding unauthorized practice of law) (citations omitted); Bennett v. Owens, 2009 WL 1916707 (D.S.C. 2009); N.C. Gen. Stat. §84-4. NOTICE Helen and Emmanuel Houey are hereby provided notice that the Defendants have moved to dismiss this action on the ground that the claims asserted in the Complaint do not state claims upon which legal relief may be granted. [Doc. 8]. The Defendants also argue that the Complaint should be dismissed because the causes of action asserting claims for fraud are not alleged with sufficient particularity; that is, the pleader has not alleged the time, place and contents of false representations and/or the identities of individuals making the misrepresentations. [Id.]. 4 Because the Plaintiffs proceed pro se, the Court will provide instruction as to their obligation to respond to the motion and the time within which to do so. Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4 th Cir. 1975). The Plaintiffs are cautioned that failure to respond to the Motion to Dismiss will result in its being granted in which case the lawsuit will be dismissed. In responding to this motion, the Plaintiffs must show that they have made sufficient allegations in the Complaint to support causes of action against the Defendants which are recognized by law. To survive [the] motion, "[f]actual allegations must be strong enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level" and have "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." [T]he court "need not accept the [Plaintiffs'] legal conclusions drawn from the facts," nor need it "accept as true unwarranted inferences, unreasonable conclusions, or arguments." Philips v. Pitt County Memorial Hospital, 572 F.3d 176, 179-80 (4 th Cir. 2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) (other citations omitted). The Plaintiffs are therefore advised that the Complaint must contain factual matter which, if accepted as true, would "state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 674, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (citation omitted). A claim is facially plausible 5 when a plaintiff pleads sufficient factual content to allow "the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id. ORDER IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED as follows: 1. the Motion for Remand [Doc. 10] filed in this matter by Michelle Smith is hereby DENIED without prejudice; 2. the Motion to Cancel Foreclosure Sale [Doc. 12] filed in this matter by Michelle Smith is hereby DENIED without prejudice; 3. the Plaintiffs Helen and Emmanuel Houey may file response to TD Bank's Motion to Dismiss [Doc. 7] on or before fifteen (15) days from entry of this Order. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action without further notice. Signed: November 8, 2011 6

The drone wars – robots that fly and fight all by themselves
General Atomics/Getty Images
The MQ 'Predator' drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is shown in this undated handout photo from the aircraft's manufacturer, General Atomics. General Atomics explains that the previous 'RQ' designation for this vehicle has recently been changed to 'MQ' to reflect the aircrafts multi-functional capabilities. The new designation moves the Predator from a strictly reconnaissance role, to an ability to carry and fire weapons such as the 'Hellfire' missile.
Science fiction like the Terminator movies have long entertained and frightened us with depictions of a future dystopia where humans wage war against an army of intelligent and violent computers. Although fighting wars against robots still falls in the purview of Hollywood, fighting wars with robots is rapidly becoming a reality.
As of 2012, unmanned drones make up nearly one-third of U.S. military aircraft, up from 5 percent in 2005. Although it has become commonplace for "desktop pilots" to control planes halfway around the world our military is increasingly relying on autonomous drones that can fly themselves, and experts say that the deployment of flying robots that can make their own tactical decisions isn't far off. The Navy is even working on a drone that can automatically perform one of the most complex maneuvers required of their planes - to take off and land on aircraft carriers. Although taking pilots out of cockpits keeps American lives farther from the battlefield, saves weight, increases performance of the aircraft and can potentially reduce costs, some military advisers are wary of removing the human element from waging wars.
Who is responsible when no one pulls the trigger? Is the increasing use of drones on the battlefield good or bad?

2012 was a very interesting and exciting year for the Philadelphia 76ers. While they traded their once franchise player, Andre Iguodala, they picked up another in Andrew Bynum. They also shocked the world when the eighth seeded Sixers advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs and pushed the Boston Celtics to a 7 game series. 2012 also held good things for Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday, as they are finally living up to expectations and putting up great numbers this season. The Sixers may be 14-17 and have not dominated 2012, but what does 2013 hold for the young Sixers?
*Note: This was made guessing that Andrew Bynum would return and NOT be 100% healthy around February or March.
January is going to be a key month for the 76ers. It may mark the return of Andrew Bynum, it may not. Either way, they need to get off to a good start to 2013, and I believe thew will. They must take advantage of having more home games. This schedule is not easy, but it is not too difficult either.
14 games. 6 away games, 8 home games.
Predicted Wins: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors(2), Houston Rockets, New Orleans Hornets,Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards
Predicted Losses:Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs(2), New York Knicks, Memphis Grizzlies
Predicted January record:9-5
Predicted overall record:23-22
Once again, the Sixers will have more home games than away games and will really need to take advantage of this. They face some tough opponents this month, but I expect them to get big wins over the Pacers and Knicks. This schedule is a little less compact which may help them be ready for a wild March.
11 games. 4 away games, 7 home games.
Predicted wins:Sacramento Kings,Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers, Charlotte Bobcats, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic
Predicted losses: Los Angeles Clippers,Milwaukee Bucks,Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls
Predicted February record:7-4
Predicted overall record:30-27
March is easily the toughest month for the Sixers this whole season. They will have to play more away games than home games and play very good teams. I have them coming out of the month going 8-9, and that may be wishful thinking. If Andrew Bynum is healthy by March though, who knows.
17 games.9 away games, 8 home games.
Predicted wins: Washington Wizards,Orlando Magic,Portland Trailblazers,Denver Nuggets,Sacramento Kings,Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Bobcats
Predicted losses: Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat(2), Brooklyn Nets,Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz
Predicted March record:8-9
Predicted overall record:38-36
April will be the deciding factor if the Sixers make the playoffs or not, no doubt. Even with 7 road games, I believe they will win 5 out of 9 games and grab the #7 seed in the playoffs. With the injuries this team has been dealing with, I think a 43-39 record and a playoff spot is just fine. If Andrew Bynum is completely healthy, the #2 seed better look out.
9 games. 7 away games, 2 home games.
Predicted wins:Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Hawks,Washington Wizards, Cleveland Cavaliers,Detroit Pistons
Predicted losses: Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers
Predicted April record:6-3
Final Predicted record:43-39
Predicted playoff seeding:7th seed
Thanks for reading

She is getting married on a Carribean island, and the motif seemed perect, but I wanted to see the quality of the paper, printing, etc. before deciding. When the sample arrived, I was pleasantly surprised--the paper was a good quality stock with somewhat of a glossy finish, and the design really stood out with the pink print onthe soft blue waves of the background. I will definitley be ordering this design for her shower!"

Premenstrual problems with puffiness in the extremities, fluid retention, and a bloated feeling often indicate a need for this remedy. The woman may feel very awkward and clumsy, and may constantly be dropping things because of swollen-feeling hands. Diarrhea occurring around the time of the menstrual period strongly indicates this remedy.
Calcarea carbonica
PMS with fatigue, anxiety, and a feeling of being overwhelmed suggest a need for this remedy. The woman may have problems with water-retention and weight gain, tender breasts, digestive upsets, and headaches. Periods often come too early and last too long, sometimes with a flow of bright red blood. A general feeling of chilliness, with clammy hands and feet, and cravings for sweets and eggs are other indications for Calcarea.
Women who need this remedy are usually intense, with a tremendous need for an outlet, both physically and mentally. Symptoms of PMS include congestion, headaches, flushing, surges of heat, and an intense outspoken irritabilityoften with strong feelings of suspicion or jealousy. When the flow arrives, it may be heavy, but brings relief of tension. Intolerance of restrictive clothing around the waist or neck is another indication for Lachesis.
PMS with a craving for sweets and a ravenous appetite (sometimes a bulimic tendency) suggests a need for this remedy. Digestive upsets with abdominal bloating and flatulence are often seen, with the person feeling worst in the late afternoon and evening. Menstrual periods may be delayed, followed by a heavy flow that goes on for extra days. A woman who needs this remedy often wears a worried look and lacks self-confidencealthough she may be irritable and bossy to pets and family members. A desire to be alone, but with someone in the other room, is another indication for Lycopodium.
Natrum muriaticum
A person who needs this remedy usually seems reserved to others, but is deeply emotional inside. She may feel extremely sad and lonely, but gets affronted or angry if others try to console her or sympathize. Depression, anger over minor things, and a need to be alone to cry are often seen when Natrum mur is needed. Menstrual problems can be accompanied by migraines, or a backache that feels better from lying on something hard or pushing a solid object against the painful place. A craving for salt, strong thirst, and a tendency to feel worse from being in the sun are other indications for this remedy.
This remedy can be helpful during many conditions involving hormonal changes and is often helpful to girls who have recently started having periods. PMS with irritability, moodiness, and weepiness is typical. Delay or suppression of the menstrual flow can be accompanied by queasy feelings, nausea, and faintness. Being too warm or in a stuffy room makes things worse, and fresh air can bring relief. The timing, amount, and nature of the menstrual flow are changeableas are the womans moodswhen Pulsatilla is the remedy. The woman usually is emotional and needy, wanting a lot of attention and comforting.
This remedy relieves mood swings from PMS associated with irritability and poor venous circulation.
Veratrum album
Menstrual periods with very heavy flow and cramping, with a feeling of exhaustion and icy coldness suggest a need for this remedy. Vomiting and diarrhea are often seen. Periods may start too early and go on too long. The woman feels worse at night, from exercise, and from drinking things that are warm. Cold drinks, small meals, and wrapping up in warm clothes or covers may help to bring improvement.
This remedy is often helpful to women with a history of irregular periods, difficulty becoming pregnant, or slow childbirth due to weak muscle tone of the uterus. Symptoms include discomfort during periods and a heavy flow of blood or other discharge. Drawing pains may be felt in the pelvic region, thighs, and legs. Stiffness or arthritis, especially in the finger-joints, often is seen when this remedy is needed.
A woman likely to respond to this remedy is angry, irritable, and hypersensitive to pain. Cramping may come on, or be intensified, because of emotional upset. Flow can be very heavy, and the blood may look dark or clotted. Problems are often worse at night. Heating pads or exposure to wind may aggravate the symptoms, and motion (such as rocking or brisk walking) may help to reduce the tension and discomfort.
Cimicifuga racemosa
This relieves cramps associated with PMS and aggravated by cold and humidity.
Headache, nausea, and a heavy flow that makes the genitals and surrounding skin feel irritated and swollen are indications for this remedy. Kreosotum is often indicated for women with PMS who feel irritable and uncomfortable, and have a strong dislike of sexual activity.
Lilium tigrinum
This remedy may be helpful if a woman is inclined toward rage during PMS, makes other people walk on eggs, and is extremely sensitive and irritable. Pressure in the rectum and in the pelvic region, with a sensation that the uterus is pushing out, may make her feel a frequent need to sit or cross her legs. Emotions and excitement aggravate the symptoms, and fresh air will often bring relief.
Nux vomica
When a woman with PMS is extremely impatient, pushy, and intolerant, this remedy may be of use. Uncomfortable, irregular menstrual periods can be experienced, often with a nagging urge to move the bowels before the flow begins. Constipation is common, and constricting pains may extend to the rectum or tailbone region. Anger, mental strain, physical exertion, and overindulgence in coffee, alcohol, or food can aggravate the problems. The woman often feels chilly and improves from warmth and rest.

"Oh my goodness! They've come back! As ninja pirate robot monkey clown bandito werewolf zombies! How CRraAAaaZZzzyyyyyy!"When cool things are combined, the combination is cooler than the sum of its parts. This combination is usually physically impossible or contradictory, like the title of this page. Fortunately, if done right, nobody cares (Rule of Cool!) This doesn't always work. If the cool things somehow cancel each other out, if it's just so overwhelming the Willing Suspension of Disbelief snaps like a brittle twig, you may get left with a piece of camp that is at best funny and at worst disgusting. Just remember Strong Bad's words of wisdom: "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad."

Each tap gives your image an overhaul, if you like it then you can just tap the unobtrusive heart icon in order to save it. I like the simple uncluttered interface and clean execution of a single idea.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
TouchPad is a great App for controlling your Mac with your iPad! Its interface is excellent and immediately intuitive. I love the bold buttons and stylish feel of the interface, it makes it a joy to use!Posted in Interface → iPad App
Minimal content but a strong sense of purpose is what characterises this site. The dramatic absence of content is refreshing and encourages the visitor to stick around. The bold and carefully designed illustrations only add to the impact of this site!Posted in Web Design → Design
A fun App for changing your voice into a more humorous one! The icon design is good and the cartoon style theme works well throughout. The use of tapes is nice touch, but the blue curtain background does seem a little out of place.Posted in Interface → iPhone App

Crime & Public Safety
Guatemala has one of the highest violent crime rates in Latin America. While most of the tourists visiting Guatemala are able to safely complete their tours, it is important that visitors observe basic precautions in order to avoid becoming a victim of crime.
If you are a U.S. citizen and become a victim of crime in Guatemala, you should first call the police at 120, 122 or 123 (the local equivalents of 911), or contact the closest police station.
If the police are not available, please call the Guatemalan office of Assistance to Tourists ("ASISTUR"), which operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to provide emergency aid to tourists. ASISTUR has three phone numbers: 1500, 2421-2810, and 5578-9836. The fax number is 2421-2891.
You should also call the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City at 502-2326-4501 if you need additional assistance (such as passport replacement) and to report the crime. On weekends and outside regular work hours, please call 502-2326-4000 to reach the Duty Officer. Please note that the Embassy Duty Officer will not be able to issue you a replacement passport, for which you will have to wait until the next regular business day.

The State of Theology: Heaven? Yes! Hell, No.
from Stephen Nichols Nov 24, 2014 Category: ArticlesIn the survey, The State of Theology, Americans were asked if heaven and hell were real places. For the full survey results, see TheStateOfTheology.com. In this survey, two-thirds of Americans said yes to heaven. A little less, 61%, said yes to hell. But, here's something interesting. Only slightly over half of those polled think that God shows His wrath. Only 6 out of 10 believe that Christ will return to judge all people who have lived. The survey says there may be a hell but leaves you wondering who will be there? Keep Reading

The road to the Carrier Dome has one last pit-stop: the state semifinals this weekend.
Perhaps no team's journey to the final four was more dramatic than Sweet Home's in Class A. The unbeaten Panthers rallied from a 14-point deficit in the Far West Regionals against Eastridge.
Quarterback Michael Torrillo engineered a masterful two-minute drill to tie the game and force overtime, where the Panthers scored first and held on for the victory.
Now they're two wins away from their third state championship in five seasons.
"Starts at the top with coaching. They get us prepared mentally and physically week in and week out. The rest is on the players. In the past, we have been able to rise to the challenge and succeed. Another big thing is a lot of the guys get along. That sense of unity is shared throughout the team," said Torillo. "Some of these guys have been here when they were younger with JVs and saw the other teams ahead of them do it, and right now we've kind of set the challenge in front of this team to see are you as good as the other two state championship teams. The chance is there in front of them, and we'll see what they can do," said head coach John Faller.
Sweet Home takes on Union Endicott from the Binghamton area Friday night at 8 in the state semis from Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester.

Student charged with hiding pinhole camera in boys' locker room
BY MICHAEL LANSU Staff Reporter March 7, 2013 6:48PM
Updated: March 7, 2013 9:16PM
A Crystal Lake Central High School student was charged Thursday with hiding a pinhole camera in a boys' locker room.
Luke Patrick Gildea, 17, of Crystal Lake, was charged with one count each of felony unauthorized video recording and unauthorized video recording of a victim under 18, according to Crystal Lake police.
A student found the camera Thursday in the boys' locker room at the school at 45 W. Franklin St. in Crystal Lake, police said.
The camera didn't have the capability to stream video to a wireless system, police said. A forensic examiner will review any digital images recovered from the camera.
Gildea was transferred to McHenry County Jail and was scheduled to appear at a bond hearing at 8 a.m. Friday at the McHenry County Courthouse.

Niven plays an Episcopalian bishop praying for money to build a new church. His marriage is apparently over and his faith is quivering when Grant, an angel who uses his powers so sparingly that he might have been from the Welcome Wagon, arrives on the scene. Young, as Niven's wife, never learns
Cary is from Up There as he unobtrusively helps her and Niven achieve some peace on earth and goodwill toward each other.
Under Koster's typically smooth direction, everyone seems to be having a good time, enjoying the script without mocking its blandness. The picture runs on a bit long and it does pale by comparison to the book, but it was a welcome smile in 1947 and has the same effect today. Popular and acclaimed
in its day, the film was rather surprisingly nominated for Best Picture of the year. leave a comment

Home Tour: A Historic Harlem Brownstone
A couple reaches out to neighborhood doyenne Sheila Bridges to bring new light and life to their historic Harlem brownstone
By Celia Barbour
Guest Room
"I'm into design and architecture in a way I can't even explain," agrees the client, whose education in these subjects is entirely recreational: He reads design books, magazines, and websites in his rare spare time. "I don't think I'm actually that good," he adds, laughing. "But I have a strong opinion about everything." Fortunately, that includes when to seek the help of a local. "With the guidance of somebody like Sheila—that's the only way it works."
In a guest room, a Swedish settee is covered in a Holland & Sherry fabric, the custom headboard is in a Donghia suzani, and the mirror is from And George; the wallcovering is by Studio Printworks, the rug is by Stark Carpet, and the curtains are in a Jim Thompson silk.

December 22, 2014
OTTAWA COUNTY, Kansas (CBS, AP) -- A convicted murderer and another inmate who escaped from a Kansas jail remained on the loose Thursday, as authorities scoured the region for the missing prisoners.
Santos Carrera-Morales, identified as a Hispanic male with a shaved head and goatee, escaped from the Ottawa County Jail early Wednesday morning, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections. He was convicted in 2008 of two counts of first-degree murder.
Eric James, 23, identified as a black male who wears his hair in cornrows, is also missing, the agency reported. James was convicted in 2009 of three counts of aggravated burglary and one count of kidnapping.
The men are considered armed and dangerous, and their whereabouts are currently unknown, officials said. Two other men who escaped with them have since been apprehended. Drew Edward Wade, 21, was found in North Platte, Nebraska at 5:30 Wednesday evening.
The fourth man was apprehended shortly after his escape but was not identified.
Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the investigation to call 911, or the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-572-7463.

Friends of Cayman is a terrific idea for a website that a friend just pointed me to.
On the website is a slideshow of Cayman pictures, plus a variety of organisations to contact if anybody wants to help with recovery efforts.
Looking at these makes me realise quite how far we have come in these few months.
If you are interested in how we handled things at The Reef, I have kept our newsletter up on our website here . I've left those updates "warts and all", so you can see how things changed as time passed. Even with our experience in project management and development, we too initially underestimated how long it would take to recover. We also have our own pictures linked on the left side of this section of the website.
In response to some comments, I am going to try to get new shots of The Reef done, but really need a pro to do this, and in reality it looks just as it did before Ivan, so the current shots on the website are fine… except of course for the beach bar, which I do need to take some shots of.

Can triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide cause joint aches?
- Q: I have been taking triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide capsules (37.5mg/25mg) for several years. Lately, I have been suffering from joint aches. Could this drug cause those kind of symptoms?
- A: Dyazide (triamterene-hydrochlorothiazide) (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/dyazide) is a combination medication indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure. Dyazide prevents the body from absorbing too much salt. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/hypertension/understanding.aspx). Common side effects of Dyazide include muscle cramps, dizziness, and dry mouth. A search of prescribing did not specifically list joint aches as a side effect of Dyazide. This is not a complete list of the side effects associated with Dyazide Kimberly Hotz, PharmD

The Deal: Yahoo! Posts Tumblr For $1.1B in Mobile Growth Bid
TheDeal) --
(YHOO), the Sunnyvale, California-based Web company undergoing a broad strategy shift under new CEO Marissa Mayer, will acquire New York startup
Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash in an ongoing attempt to establish its presence on smartphones.
Tumblr reportedly took in $13 million in revenue in 2012, and so far into 2013 has fallen short on its revenue goals of $100 million. The company raised about $125 million from venture capital investors from 2007 to 2011.
"Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!'s media network and search experiences," the companies said in a joint statement Monday, May 20.
Mayer's arrival at Yahoo! has come with a flurry of deals as the company has sought to reinvent itself and bolster its presence on mobile devices.
Thus far among 2013's acquisitions for Yahoo! are: Summly, a news application; Loki Studios, for mobile gaming; MileWise, an app for travelers; Astrid, a to-do list organizer; and GoPollGo, a social polling tool. The latest social media deal is not unlike Facebook's (FB) $1 billion pre-initial public offering grab of nascent startup Instagram in 2012, which the social network bought in order to continue its trajectory onto smartphones after years of dominance on desktop hardware.
Still, Yahoo! has had difficulty absorbing some of its startups in the past. Perhaps its most notable deal that soured, from 1999, is a $3.6 billion buy of GeoCities, which it would shut down a decade later. But sources said that under Mayer, the company's reputation has improved and Yahoo! has increasingly been seen as a viable Silicon Valley technology company on the rebound. Yahoo! even seemed to acknowledge its rocky M&A past when, in its statement earlier Monday, it said: "Per the agreement and our promise not to screw it up, Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business. David Karp will remain CEO." Karp is Tumblr's founder, who, as a teen and high school dropout, developed the company in 2007.
