Why Alcoa Is a Buy Ahead of Earnings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The economically sensitive business of aluminum has taken a significant toll on Alcoa (AA). Despite the company's strong fundamentals, the struggles caused by weak aluminum prices have been too much for Alcoa to overcome. But better days are ahead.
Not only does the company expect a 6% rebound in demand for aluminum, but the stock is currently undervalued relative to long-term growth potential. And with the company expected to report on its fourth quarter on Tuesday, investors would do well to buy the stock ahead of a market still filled with doubt.
The company is expected to post earnings of 6 cents per share, which is 1 penny lower than estimates from three months ago. Revenue is expected to arrive at $5.64 billion. Although pessimism among analysts remains, investors have begun to realize that the situation for Alcoa can't possibly get any worse.
For instance, in its third-quarter report, the company posted a loss of $143 million from continuing operations. This included a payout from an environmental lawsuit totaling $175 million. When excluding one-time items, its earnings reached $32 million or 3 cents per share.Despite the difficult macro climate, the company still managed to generate $5.8 billion in revenue -- better than analysts' estimates of $5.54 billion. The prolonged weakness in the price of aluminum, which has declined by 5% from since the second quarter and by 17% annually, has hurt its revenue growth. However, that Alcoa was able to beat on both its top and bottom lines shows how the company continues to make the best out of a bad situation. And its commitment toward return value to shareholders can't be understated. And it seems that investors have begun to appreciate this fact as shares have risen over 14% off the mid-November lows. During the conference call, investors should expect more clarity regarding aluminum prices and the outlook for the year. Management has maintained the 6% and 7% improvement in demand for most of 2012. A slight uptick would be a welcome signal. Management also have spoken favorably about the automotive and aerospace industries where companies such as Ford (F) and Boeing (BA) have started to migrate toward using aluminum in their vehicles and jets.

4 Doctor-Approved Home Remedies
Learn how common kitchen staples can help heal your family
By Abigail Cuffey
If You Have Chapped Lips
TRY: honey and petroleum jelly
WHY: "Honey has been shown to have both antibacterial and wound-healing properties," says Adam Friedman, MD, dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "When you combine it with the moisturizing effect of petroleum jelly, you're relieving and curing chapped lips."
HOW: Wet lips with lukewarm water, then apply a thin layer of honey to your lips and let it dry for a few seconds. Next, put a layer of petroleum jelly over it and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the moisturizing combo with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. Repeat once daily for a few days.

Wed, Apr 21, 2010
A California judge has tossed out a case against a Camarillo
woman who allegedly struck a TSA agent over a container of
applesauce, provided she stays out of trouble for six months.
Nadine Hays was accused of hitting a TSA agent when the agent
reportedly tried to take a container of applesauce away from her
93-year-old mother. Hays says she did not strike the agent.
Television station KCAL reports that the incident started over a
blue cooler in which Hays had things like the applesauce and
cottage cheese for her elderly mother, who has since passed away.
She said she had e-mailed TSA in advance about the additional
They were on their way to a wedding, but the incident
landed Hays IN the cooler rather than on an airplane. Hays said she
reached over to grab the ice chest, which is when the prosecution
says she hit the TSA supervisor. The incident was videotaped at the
checkpoint, and Hays can be heard on the tape saying she would hold
TSA responsible if anything happened to her mom.
Hays eventually threw the food out, but she was still handcuffed
and not allowed to sit down when she complained about leg pain. At
one point, Mays fell down with her hands still handcuffed behind
her. She was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges, posted bail,
and eventually got her mother to the wedding.
The television station reports that hays has filed a lawsuit
against TSA. The agency did not comment on the case, but says it
has reviewed the allegations internally, and hopes it will be
instructive for agents in the future.

The Journal Sentinel Editorial Board's blog on the day's happenings as they happen
Seriously? Seriously??
What's next: Firing on Fort Sumter?
Nine Republican state legislators say they back a bill to arrest any federal officials who try to implement Obamacare, the Journal Sentinel's Patrick Marley reports.
This is a law passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. But that's not enough for Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield), one of the Gang of Nine, who told the Campaign for Liberty he would back legislation to arrest federal officials who took steps to implement Obamacare in Wisconsin. Despite the Supreme Court ruling, he still believes that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.
"Just because Obama was re-elected does not mean he's above the constitution," he said.
No, but here's how it works, Rep. Kapenga. The Supreme Court decides that. And led by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, it has.
This states rights issue thing was pretty much decided when Lee surrendered to Grant. These legislators need to get a grip, read the Constitution and move on to working with federal officials, not threatening them.

Well, as Scott Fitzgerald said last year, the political benefits are not in compromise bit opposition.
The number 9 is symbolic with some followers of the tea or Constitutional party. Its meant to represent the 1st-9th Constitutional Amendments rejecting the 10th of the original founding fathers.Hide replies
They remind me of white supremacists with all the arcane numerology and flags. Well, that and the stuff they say. : (
I heard Texas wants to return to the good old Lone Star Republic.
I like that idea. Texas is big enough hold all Tea party whiners.
They're just posturing.
Fer cryin' out loud, is the entire JS editorial board brand new to politics or something?Hide replies
Treason is treason. "Just kidding" doesn't cut it.
The real crime on this page is using the phrase "Seriously? Seriously??" as a headline. I long for the day when it -- and the equally inspired "Really??" -- goes the way of "golly!" and "jeepers!"
If you knew anything about these derpwads, you'd know they're not just posturing.
I think the sad truth is that we can't expect a consistently high quality of legislator for every district in Wisconsin.
In your defense of John Roberts, you seriously forgot the Dred Scott decision, along with numerous others. And the Tenth Amendment is not a "settled" issue.Hide replies
Would you expand on that a little bit? Sounds interesting, but I don't really understand.
Fred, papal infallibility extends only to the Pope.
As for SCOTUS, they've been wrong numerous times, i.e. Dred Scott, West Va. v Barnette (right ruling, wrong reason), Kelo, and others.
The world according to Leo. Warped and spinning out of control.
This is beyond ridiculous and approaching treason. Arrresting federal officials who are attempting to implement duly-passed federal law....unbelievable!! Right now I am ashamed to be from Wisconsin. These legislators will make us the laughingstock of the country. Arresting federal officials??? Really.Hide replies
Nine people in La La land putting federal officials under citizens arrest? I sure feel sorry for their constituents.
More looney-tune repubs just wanting attention. I believe it's called "15 minutes of fame." They got it, so now we can move on and just ignore them.
Even my Republican friends are ashamed of these jackwagons.
hahahahahahahahahahaha republiclowns!!!!!!!
Chapter 13 is the version of BK that aowlls you to include past-due mortgage payments in your filing. Chapter 13 does NOT discharge debts. It is a court supervised consolidation of your debts where you pay them back in a 3-5 year period.Chapter 7 is the version of BK that discharges debts like credit card debts. To my knowledge, past due mortgage payments cannot be discharged in a Chapter 7 filing. For an issue this serious, you need expert advise. Contact a BK attorney asap for exact answers on these matters.

TV News Reflects on 9/11/2001: ASU's Aaron Brown, ABC's David Muir
With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks approaching, TVNewser reached out to anchors, reporters, producers and executives for their thoughts on that day, and what they believe has changed in the last 10 years.
Arizona State University's "Walter Cronkite Professor of Journalism" Aaron Brown, who anchored on CNN that day. It was first day on-air at CNN:
I did a lot of television that day, emotionally I think I ran the gamut from a feeling of total stupidity, along with shock and horror when the first tower fell. There I was just trying to hold this broadcast together, hold myself together, the broadcast seemed to be doing fine. This huge thing happened, one of the things an anchor needs to do in those moments is to be one step ahead of what is happening, try and anticipate what is happening. And here is the biggest thing that could possibly happen and I didn't anticipate it at all. There were a lot of scenarios, but I didn't think that. And then you start to hear a clock ticking because you know that at some point, a minute, 10 minutes and hour who knows, the second tower is coming down too.
One of the weird memories of the day was Walter Isaacson, who ran CNN at the time and was my boss, and was incredibly smart guy and a great news guy. The only time I remember a boss coming up on the roof, he came up and said "this isn't a story, this is history. And I thought that was spot on, that is exactly right. This is so beyond anything any of us had other done, I thought that was a great way to put it. We really were doing history that day, history is the kind of event where you say 'where were you when you heard? And we were all going to remember where we were when we heard.

Hundreds of Pakistani lawyers and activists have started an anti-government march from the city of Karachi, the main city of Sindh province.
Riot police arrested dozens of protesters and stopped cars and buses from collecting hundreds of lawyers assembled at the high court on Thursday ready for the journey to Islamabad.
The lawyers, who are calling on Asif Ali Zardari, the Pakistani president, to reinstate judges sacked in 2007 by previous president Pervez Musharraf, instead left the high court on foot and started their march with other anti-government protesters.
"We've started the march to achieve our goal," Munir Malik, a former president of the supreme court bar association and a protest organiser, said.
The demonstrators are scheduled to arrive in Islamabad, the federal capital, on Monday, where they hope they will join thousands of other anti-government protesters for a rally outside the parliament.
Pakistan activists launch their long march for justice
"Across the country there has been a heavy clampdown by the security agencies in spite of the fact that the prime minister said that there would be no problem with the march as long as it is peaceful."
Arrests made The 1,500km-long march comes despite a ban on demonstrations in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh, where thousands of troops have been deployed.
Police across the country on Wednesday rounded up about 300 people, including members of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan's main opposition party.
Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the PML-N and a former prime minister, had called on Wednesday for people to "change the destiny of Pakistan" by attending the march.
The PML-N quit the cabinet last year to protest against the new civilian government's failure to honour a deadline to reinstate Iftikhar Chaudhry, the former supreme court justice, and other judges sacked by Musharraf.
In February, Pakistan's supreme court disqualified Sharif from contesting elections, triggering a power struggle between him and Zardari, two politicians who had briefly allied in the campaign to force Musharraf from the presidency.
Federal rule
The ruling forced Sharif's party out of power in Punjab, placing the province under central government control.
But in an apparent concession to Sharif, Yousaf Raza Gilani, Pakistan's prime minister, said on Wednesday that the government wanted federal rule over the province to end.
The PML-N has the most support in Punjab, although it does not have a clear majority to run the provincial government alone.
Raja Assad Hameed, of the Nation newspaper, said that many of the protesters are looking for the central government to relinquish its control over the province.
"They are coming to Islamabad to tell Zardari that the mandate in Punjab, the powerhouse of Pakistani politics, should be given back to the legitimate representatives of the people and that the governor's rule should be lifted from Punjab," he said.
"The situation could go anywhere from here; the government has lost its credibility and popularity very prematurely."

What is happening?
- 0Oct 4, '12 by Mrs.PrissOKAY....I just got my grade back from my second fundamentals exam and I got a 78!!! I made a 70 on my first exam!!! 75 is passing, have literally studied every free minute! The questions are SO random! It's like I have to know every single detail in every single chapter in order to answer these questions... I use my text, PP's, NCLEX review books, test success, fundamentals success, fundamentals made incredibly easy, quizlet, and ATI. So I guess I'm really just searching for advice, tips, other resource suggestions.
- 0Oct 4, '12 by OB-nurse2013Truthfully, I think you're too much and using too many books
- 3Oct 4, '12 by Katie71275, ASN, RNIm a B student(lately an A student) and this is what I use: study my materials(usually powerpoints as my teachers include everything I need to know) and then I use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to study. Also a new method for me is : If you can do one thing for your patient before you leave and that's it...what is the one thing you would do. This REALLY helps break it down so you can prioritize.
- 3Oct 4, '12 by Streamline2010Answering the original post: I also think you are spread too thin and are only superficially covering the material. I did that same thing (tried to read/do it all) and by Nursing IV I was burned out, fed up and done. What most of my classmates did all along was just studied the Powerpoint handouts. I have read/heard that before: Students said they started out trying to read it all and thoroughly study it all, but then threw away the books and used the lecture handouts combined with critical thinking. Nursing questions are all about making decisions based on the information given in the question.
Test-taking strategies, lecture handouts, and critical thinking are going to be pretty important things to master. Maslow's heirarchy, and ABC, too. You can't read and do everything that the instructors want you to do. Thoroughly study what was covered in class.
And I think some of the success, deep down, is how interested you truly are in the subject material. If you are lukewarm or less, it will be a grind and there will be no changing that, and you also will have trouble retaining it. For me, I started out all pumped-up and 100% enthusiastic, but my interest level just went down and down as I got more exposure to the culture of nursing, and to what nurses actually do, and how people treat them. You just have to be honest with yourself regarding how much joy it is or isn't for you.
- 0Oct 5, '12 by Mrs.PrissWell, we have 2 different professors, who just began teaching together this semseter. THey both teach differently and give us questions based on EVERYTHING!!! there are questions from the text that they did not cover in lecture or in powerpoints and from the fundamentals success book that they did not cover in lecture or put on the powerpoints. I focused on main topics in the book, lecture, and powerpoints for the first test and made a 70!!! So how am I supposed to study unless i literally disect everything? THe questions are SO random. We had a questions from a small box at the end of the chapter on sensory and it was not covered in lecture or powerpoint! Do you see my frustration now? lol
- 1Oct 5, '12 by rubatoWe have tons of questions from the lab manual. I learned from week 1 to study that diligently. But, luckily, 99% of the rest comes from powerpoints. It sounds like you'll have a lot of reading and studying to do.
- 0Oct 5, '12 by FDW630I wouldn't waste my time studying a book that I'm not going to be tested on this soon. Fundamentals is fairly basic. However, it is a lot of material to cover in a small window of time. I'm on the Potter and Perry fundamentals book now. My advice would be to spend every minute of study time you have covering the material in your text/class notes. IMO, fundamentals isn't complex enough to warrant studying any test success or NCLEX review books yet. I'd save those for when the material gets a lot more hairy! The NCLEX-style chapter review questions in the textbook have been plenty helpful for me. Good luck!
- 0Oct 5, '12 by dayanaraI'm sorry you are struggling:-(
One thing I have noticed from my tests is the way the answers are worded. There are two that are definitely wrong and you can easily recognize those. So your odds of choosing the right answer get better. Read on test-taking strategies. I did it an it helped me a lot. Also, read every single word in the chapters, and as you are reading, highlight what you think would make a good test question. Also, keep in mind they are testing your knowledge on the nursing process all the time, so become an expert in ADPIE.
I really hope your grades get better! Keep working hard! :-)

Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon: The Human Honey Badger ("Cause Tiger Woods' wife don't give a shit, Tiger Woods' wife takes what she wants")
A few weeks ago Willow of Willow's Web Astrology and I speculated as to what we thought the astrological chart of the Honey Badger might look like. Based on his behavior in the now famous YouTube video bearing his name, we guessed he'd have some Capricorn placements along with a strongly placed Pluto:
A few days later I realized, "Why not just run a chart for the Honey Badger based on the upload date of his YouTube video?" So I did just that. Born (uploaded) on January 18th 2011, the Honey Badger is a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. (See Chart)
According to astrologer Jefferson Anderson, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon is the Sun/Moon pairing of "the Tough Guy" who hides a sensitive interior behind a macho exterior:
On the surface, you try hard to maintain a tough image but you are actually a very sensitive and emotionally vulnerable individual. Insecurity is your main stumbling block. In order to contend with these deep seated feelings of inadequacy you either resign yourself to despair or build a tough shell to protect yourself from hurt and anguish.
Your challenge is to being to recognize your sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness and to allow your true self to blossom. (Source)
Capricorn Sun with Cancer Moon is one of the Sun/Moon pairings most likely to suffer from a sense of social isolation. Capricorn tends to retreat behind an all-business, no-nonsense fortress of bah humbug while Cancer tends to hide inside a hardened shell of privacy similar to its animal symbol the crab. From the looks of his famous video, Honey Badger doesn't seem to have much in the way of friends or romantic interests, two areas of life that are particularly challenging for this pairing. Commenting on the Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon native's tendency to got it alone, Anderson explains:
Set apart from the crowd as you are, you choose neither to lead or be led. Essentially you are an independent type, preferring the comfort of going it alone. Such self-imposed exile can develop into profound loneliness . . . (Source)
The biggest life lesson for this Sun/Moon pairing, according to Anderson, is to learn self-love and self-appreciation.
Honey Badger's Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon Astro-Twin: Pro Wrestler Bill Goldberg
Former professional wrestling phenomenon Bill Goldberg is also Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. (Goldberg's Natal Chart) Much like his four legged astro-twin, Goldberg has succeeded in a series of professional environments where conducting oneself like "a nasty ass animal" is part of the job description:
People with the same Sun/Moon pairing ("Astro-twins") often bear a impossible to dismiss resemblance to each other even if they're obviously not related by blood. Take a look at this screenshot of the Honey Badger from his famous YouTube video and compare it to a screenshot of Goldberg taken from a 1998 television interview to see what I mean:
Notice any similarities?
Astro-twin resemblances are more about vibe, demeanor, and the physical ingraining of habitual emotional patterns than simply looks. The phenomenon thus crosses not only racial and demographic boundaries but also species classifications, as the above photos make clear.
The astro-twin phenomenon also crosses gender boundaries. Elen Nordegren, most often referred to as "Tiger Woods' wife", is a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. (Chart) Like Bill Goldberg, this makes her a fellow member of the Human Honey Badger club:
We'll never know for sure what happened that fateful night when Tiger Woods allegedly crashed his SUV after his wife found out he had been cheating on her. But you can bet that much like her furry astro-twin the Honey Badger, "Tiger Woods' wife don't give a shit. Tiger Woods' wife takes what she wants". That includes $750 million in a now pending divorce settlement.

Foroutan, Maryam (2009) A Comparison Of The Effects Of Pen-And-Paper And Email Dialogue Journal Writing On Writing Performance And Anxiety Among Tesl Undergraduates. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The purpose of this study was to compare the influence of two methods in writing dialogue journals, pen-and-paper as conventional tools, in contrast to e-mail as online tool, on writing performance in terms of content, language, vocabulary, language use and organization as well as writing anxiety. Measurement of writing performance was based on the ESL Composition Profile developed by Jacobs, Zinkgraf, Wormuth, Hartifel and Hughey (1981) and writing anxiety was measured by using the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) from Cheng (2004). Forty two ESL students in their third semester took a course called "Computer Applications in TESL" participated in the study. Based on their expository writing grades obtained in the previous semester as well as race and gender; they were randomly assigned into two groups 1) e-mail dialogue journal writing and, 2) penand- paper dialogue journal writing. For the first session to obtain pre-test writing, all students were given topics to write and had to complete a pre-test writing anxiety questionnaire. Both groups received two different treatments. Participants in the e-mail dialogue journal group were asked to write dialogue journals to their secret pals by using e-mail while the participants in the pen-and-paper dialogue journal group, wrote their dialogues via pen and paper. Both groups kept corresponding dialogue journals in the class for a seven-week period. After going through seven weeks, post tests were conducted. All data were analyzed using SPSS to answer the hypotheses in the research. Independent-sample t-test and paired-sample t-test were utilized to compare two groups in terms of writing performance and writing anxiety. Results of the data analysis when two groups were compared showed that there is a significant difference between groups in terms of the overall writing performance and language use. However, the results for other components of writing performance; content, organization, vocabulary and mechanics as well as writing anxiety did not show statistically any significant difference between groups. The results for each group when pre and posttest overall writing performance were compared showed that there is a significant difference between groups i.e. participants in both groups have improved their writing performance due to using dialogue journals. Meanwhile, in terms of writing anxiety, paired sample t-test result showed there is no significant difference between pre and posttest writing anxiety for both groups.

Just tried to have a phone conversation with Spanish Dave - he's an alcoholic and only calls when he's pi55ed (which is most of the time) I think I'm the only semblance of a friend he has. I really have nothing to talk about with him. He's been married four times, has 4 children that he's never supported, he's run away from everything that has responsibility attached to it (like supporting your kids and paying your bills) and he wonders why i have nothing to say to him.
TV time.
You are a voice on the end of the phone for him Noggs ...that probably all he needsTubs, we used to nail an old duvet (folded over a few times) to the inside of the doors of our early morning chorus!I did go to the gym and I did 90 mins so I am feeling reet virtuous
Well done
I haven't and I don't
However today for the first day in a few I feel reasonably human so once Mr P has been dispatched I shall try and get a bit organised..........

How to Teach Programming to Children
|Start Time
|End Time
|Video Coverage
|Make: Education Cafe
Silicon Valley executives, politicians, and makers are calling for children to "code.," but what does that mean? Web sites have been created based on the assumption that self-selecting kids will teach themselves. Such an approach leaves too much to chance and assures inequitable opportunity. A presenter with 30+ years of experience will explore the how, what, and why of teaching computer science to children in a developmentally appropriate fashion so they learn a lot more than how to code. We will discuss appropriate languages for learning, pedagogical strategies and programming projects for the screen and outside of the computer.

37.1.1 Development of Procedures
The University has developed procedures for the resolution of complaints, grievances, or problems, raised by employees related to human resource management and employment related matters. These procedures emphasise a collegial approach to grievance resolution through informal facilitation and mediation, and are designed to lead to a prompt resolution of difficult problems. The University and employee/s concerned are entitled to fair treatment in relation to these procedures.
37.1.2 General Provisions
188.8.131.52 These grievance procedures are governed by the following principles:
188.8.131.52 First Level: Facilitation
(a) When an employee wishes to raise a grievance with the University within these procedures, that employee must initially attempt to resolve the grievance through discussions with the other party or parties involved in the grievance process.
(b) The employee must also verbally advise the employee's immediate supervisor of the situation. However, where the employee claims to have been aggrieved by the employee's immediate supervisor, the employee may instead inform the supervisor's immediate superior, if the employee feels unable to approach the immediate supervisor on the grievance issue.
(c) The person with whom the grievance is raised will make a full verbal response to the employee no later than five working days, where practicable, from the date the matter is raised.
(d) The relevant supervisor must ensure the matter proceeds in accordance with the time frames stated in these procedures. The employee may be assisted by a nominated representative in preparing for, and participating in, these procedures.
220.127.116.11 Second Level: Mediation
(a) If the employee is dissatisfied with the reply (or if there was not a timely reply at the First Level), the employee, or their nominated representative, must advise the Executive Director of the unresolved grievance.
(b) At the request of the parties involved in the grievance process or at the discretion of the Executive Director, the Executive Director will arrange a mediation of the grievance with the aggrieved person or persons by independent and neutral mediators within five (5) working days where practicable.
(c) The Executive Director will ensure that all parties involved are fully informed of the grievance including the provision of any related written material(s).
184.108.40.206 Third Level: Referral to FWA
(a) Where the grievance remains unresolved after five (5) working days, or as soon as practicable, following the conclusion of the mediation either party to the grievance process may refer the matter to FWA.
(b) All recommendations made by FWA will be binding on the parties involved in the grievance process and will constitute a settlement of the matter.

Farrel's Blade ("Fool's Escapeâ€Â) (3.5e Equipment)
From D&D Wiki
|This material is published under the OGL
Farrel's Blade ("Fool's Escape"): This +3 short sword is made entirely of dark steel, and is unremarkable save for eight etchings that adorn one side of its blade. These etchings depict sigils used by the dragon Kitervanas at various points in her life, and tracing them in order causes the sword to transform into a small, steel earring shaped like a dragon's head. While in this form, the earring does not detect as magic. The wearer can return the earring to its sword form as a standard action.
The blade's symbols glow softly when first touched, and this red glow intensifies as each etching is traced in turn. Once the sequence is complete the sword either transforms or, if the tracing is interrupted, the glow fades over a minute's time.
Tracing the symbols in reverse order opens a dimension door, which can be used once per day.
The bard Farrell crafted this sword long ago, when Kitervanas still terrorized her region of the world. The dragon was infamous for her vanity; she would abduct men, imprison them, and then force them to listen for days as she lauded herself. Occasionally, her captives would escape (or were released), but more often they were eaten when the dragon was done flattering herself. Farrell, a scholar of dragons, was obsessed with Kitervanas. He was determined to enter the dragon's lair, learn her story, and then leave unscathed. Everyone who heard his plans called Farrell a fool (an epithet that stayed with him); nonetheless, he crafted this weapon and set out to meet Kitervanas. Masquerading as a local farmer, Farrell found work in the communities closest to her lair and hoped to be abducted. In time, his ploy succeeded and the bard spent two weeks caged in the wyrm's lair. He managed to escape with the aid of his sword, and upon returning home he composed a series of wildly popular ballads detailing his experiences. Farrell's fame was short-lived, however; the dragon eventually found him and burned his manor to its foundation. The item was never found.
Caster Level: 9th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Nystul's undetectable aura, dimension door, shrink item; Market Price: 50,310 gp; Cost to Create: 25,310 gp + 2,000 XP.

|Hiromi (2012)
(Photo by Sakiko Nomura)
|Pianist and composer Hironi was born in 1979 in Shizuoka, Japan, and began piano lessons at age six. Within a year, she was a student in the Yamaha Music School Program, albeit more for composing (even at only age seven!) than for playing.
At age 14, Hiromi performed with the Czech Philharmonic, and it was at that same age that she made her initial contact with the first of three great jazz pianists who have influenced and befriended her. A friend at Yamaha Japan knew Oscar Peterson, and sent him a tape of Hiromi playing. Oscar wrote back "a really generous letter encouraging [her] to keep going". She keeps that letter to this day.
Three years later, a lucky coincidence gave Hiromi the opportunity to play for Chick Corea in Tokyo. (It's indicative of her early independence that she chose to play for him one of her own compositions rather than a jazz standard.) So impressed was he that he invited her to perform with him the following evening. This was only the first of many times they were to play together, most recently for the recording "Duet".
Hiromi attended law school for two years, although with no intention to study law, but rather to gain experience. As she puts it, "music doesn't come from music; music comes from experience". It was always her intention to be a pianist, and she moved the United States in 1999 on a full scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston.
While at Berklee, she met Oscar Peterson for the first time when she visited his home just outside Toronto, and speaks of playing his Bösendorfer while Oscar looked on. She also had the opportunity to play again with Chick Corea, and also with her mentor Ahmad Jamal, who was to produce her first recording, "Another Mind" in 2003.
Hiromi is a passionate and fluid composer with strong athleticism in her playing, and she can, and does, reference everything from J.S. Bach to Frank Zappa.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Other Hair: Other Eyes: Other
So far, so good, really good. I have only used this for a week, but my skin looks great--hydrated, clearer in the way salicylic acid refines texture and luminosity IF your skin likes salicylics. If your skin does well with SA, this is a lovely formulation, because it provides oil-free moisture and treatment. The texture is great, and it is neither matte nor shiny...just looks like well-moisturized skin.
I find I need only 1/2 a pump, so be careful when applying. Too much of a good thing can be bad, and I wonder if that has led some users to ding this. Also: don't use it anywhere near your eyes-- it has salicylic acid, and that will sting if it migrates.
No breakouts for my sensitive, rosacea-afflicted skin. Winner! And easy to find, at Target.

Does moisturize nicely without looking oily. Feels nice on your skin.. However, I find the product goes very quickly and is over priced for what you get. Using this line helped my skin a LOT at first and then seemed to cause more breakouts after time than I ever had before. I think this line is too harsh for sensitive skin. Since I stopped using the Normaderm line and went with a more gentle approach my skin has almost completely cleared up and looks better then it has in years.. I don't know.. Maybe my face just got used to the product and it stopped working for me.

This product is mysterious for me. It works perfectly for me within a year , and i've been going through 3 bottles of this. But on my 4th bottle suddenly it gaves me a massive breakouts. I don't know why, it used to work perfectly. I wonder if they change the ingredients. I give 3 lippies because it does helps clean my acne for a certain period, but when my face already clear enough, this product destroy it again.
Or maybe this product shouldn't be use in long run...
Won't recommend you to use this under foundation or BB cream because it will flakey like crayzehhh.

During the day I occasionally use it on my cheeks and chin if these areas feel dry. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Mine is called "global anti-imperfection hydrating care" but looks like the picture.

Not that impressed. My very oily skin was made oilier by this. I had to use the night cream in the day. Gone back to Clinique 3 step.

I received this as a gift, and I sort of like it because it of its matte effect, but I don't like the extremely pronounced floral fragrance. It does ball if you tug on the skin, but it doesn't peel off by itself. I'm going to try it out for a while and see if it helps with my problem skin but try to only use it at night. I like the Vichy brand and would definitely purchase from them again, though this product is just a maybe for me.

So far, so good. I've been using this for about 3 weeks to treat adult acne, closed comedones, etc. on my maturing skin. In the last year my skin has been the worst I've ever experienced, and is changing due to age, hormones, oil production levels, etc. The Normaderm is doing a nice job of clearing up and keeping my skin issues under control, although it's very drying. To get around that, I cleanse in the AM, then use an HA serum combined with a few drops of Argan oil. I top it off with the Normadern, then sunscreen. I think the Normadern is working so well right now because my skin isn't used to it yet. I may have to switch things up if/when my skin is accustomed to it and it stops working.

Texture - Gel-cream, but more toward the heavier side. Doesn't seem to absorb well, it sort of sits on my face and has the 'pilling' effect.
Packaging - I love the pump packaging as its easy to control the amount to dispense and sanitary.
I have been using this product for around 3 years. Bought it cause it purported to fight acne and be hydrating at the same time. To be honest, it did not show any significant results to my skin/acne, but did not cause visible damage either, thus I continued use.
But gradually I have found my usually combination skin to be producing a lot of oil to the extent that I would become oily less than a hour after apply this moisturiser. I also developed a massive, horrible and persistent breakouts. I went to Vichy and bought a hydrating serum but it was still producing so much oil after using both the products.
I thought it was just my skin being crazy and continued using this. Until I looked at the ingredients list and found Alcohol Denat to be one of the top 3 ingredients.
All along I wasn't hydrating myself, but drying my skin out instead. MY breakout was probably due to the overflowing oil my skin was producing in response to all the alcohol I was feeding it.
After just days of switching to a non-alcohol moisturiser, my skin is producing significantly less oil and the redness of my breakouts is getting better. Wouldnt recommend this to other people.

I have been using this for 2 years now. Its not expensive at all. What I love about this product is that its matifying. I have combination skin and sometimes when I put on lotion it turns shiny on my tzone area. But, this is matifying while it's not taking the hydration away and become super dry, which some lotions do.

Posted on May 20, 2013
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the 210,000-acre Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area and the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness, located in Delta, Mesa and Montrose counties of western Colorado.
The Draft RMP analyzes five alternatives covering all aspects of BLM resource management within the National Conservation Area boundaries, including recreation, travel management, resource protection, wildlife habitat, special designations and livestock grazing.
Hunting will continue in accordance with Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations, but all five planning alternatives call for some level of closure to recreational shooting, including total closure (Alternative B). The RMP displays a chart showing how recreational shooting will be affected. The chart can be found in Section 2.6 "Alternatives Matrix."
Information about the plan and the plan itself can be found here.
The BLM has extended the public comment period to September 23, 2013. Attached are comments that the NRA and several other national hunting and shooting sports organizations filed on the RMP. To submit comments you may do one of the following:
For those who depend upon the Dominguez-Escalante for recreational shooting or sighting in their firearms ahead of hunting season, this comment period is a very important opportunity to make your views known about how the BLM will manage these lands into the future.

- Because the firm is growing cash flow per unit at a rate of 14% annually, it seems reasonable to conclude that distribution growth in the 10% range is likely.
- The firm is not perfect, as it funds its heavy investments and large distribution growth by accessing the debt markets to issue new shares and carries $8 billion in debt.

- Some energy limited partnerships - pipeline operators or wholesale distributors, with less risky business models than oil E&P companies - have escaped much of the carnage in energy stocks and may make attractive investments, MarketWatch's Philip Van Doorn writes.
- These 12 energy LPs, most of which fell today amid the energy sector rout, actually have posted gains since Nov. 1: TCP, EEQ, EEP, DM, BPL, SHLX, SGU, BIP, SRLP, APU, SEP, SPH.
- Credit Suisse analyst John Edwards recently said many energy LPs look oversold; his top picks in the sector include EEP as well as NGLS, GEL, OKS, CNNX, PAA, BWP and AM.
Tue, Dec. 2, 7:21 PM
- A fresh report this week from BofA Merrill Lynch's MLP team highlights which MLPs may be mostly insulated from the carnage in oil prices, as long as the situation does not deteriorate further: Enterprise Products (NYSE:EPD), Magellan Midstream (NYSE:MMP), Buckeye Pipeline ([BPL), Energy Transfer (NYSE:ETP), Plains All American (NYSE:PAA), and - even though it is now a corporation rather than a parent of three MLP entities - Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI).
- The firm considers these MLPs as relatively lower-risk because of their diverse asset bases, investment grade balance sheets, low direct commodity sensitivity, seasoned management teams and solid organic growth outlook.

- Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) says it plans to provide additional pumps to increase the takeaway capacity of the Cactus Pipeline in response to higher regional production forecasts and shipper demand.
- Installation of booster stations along the Texas pipeline will result in an increase in throughput from ~250K bbl/day to ~330K bbl/day.
- The Cactus Pipeline is expected to be in service in April 2015; the expansion will be completed in Q4 2015.
Thu, Nov. 6, 7:43 AM
- Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) agrees to acquire Occidental Petroleum's (NYSE:OXY) 50% stake in BridgeTex Pipeline for $1.075B.
- PAA says the acquisition of the new 300K bbl/day crude oil pipeline running from the Permian Basin to the Houston Gulf coast area will strengthen its access to the Gulf coast.
- Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP), which owns the remaining 50% interest in BridgeTex, is buying the southern leg of the pipeline system running from Houston to Texas City for $75M.
- OXY says the deals are part of its attempt to streamline its business.
Wed, Nov. 5, 6:49 PM
- Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) reported a 40% jump in Q3 earnings, as producers sent more crude through its transportation and storage facilities.
- Profit at PAA's transportation business rose 16% Y/Y due to higher crude oil production in the areas it serves and the company's own recently completed growth projects; supply and logistics saw a 14% gain driven by a favorable crude market and growth in crude oil lease gathering volumes.
- PAA maintains its FY 2014 EBITDA forecast of $2.175B and sets its 2015 preliminary adjusted EBITDA guidance at $2.35B-$2.5B, which it says "reflects a cautious and prudent approach that acknowledges uncertainties associated with the recent decreases in oil prices and related differentials as well as the potential drilling reductions by producers in various crude oil resource plays."
- Says it will pay a distribution of $0.66/unit for the period, up 10% Y/Y.
- PAA also announces plans to construct a new 226-mile pipeline from the Plains Basin pipeline system at Duncan, Okla., to Longview, Tex., supported by long-term commitments.
Wed, Nov. 5, 5:31 PM
- Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA): Q3 EPS of $0.53 beats by $0.01.
- Revenue of $11.13B (+4.0% Y/Y) misses by $340M.
- Press Release
Fri, Oct. 31, 6:50 PM
- The recent wild behavior in the energy MLP sector - tumbling nearly 3x more than the S&P 500 during the first 10 trading days of October before rallying this week, with an assist from Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), which went public in a $1.1B offering and gained 46% - should not weaken the investment case for those who are choosy and hold for the long term, analysts say.
- Investors worry that some E&P companies won't be able to make money in a low oil price environment, and MLPs in the same business face tough times, but those upstream MLPs make up only ~5% of the total value of the sector, perhaps suggesting that the across-the-board decline was too extreme.
- MLPs may remain expensive relative to their own history, but their average distribution of 5.5% in annual income - which should grow at ~7%/year in the next few years to 12%-plus - is plenty attractive relative to everything else.
- To steer clear of the risk that lower energy prices will crimp profits, analysts advise concentrating on midstream operators; among the most stable are ETP, ETE, EQM, MMP, PAA, PAGP and SXL.

Thu, Oct. 30, 1:11 PM
- Marathon Petroleum (MPC +4.8%) says it is studying options for the future of the 1.2M bbl/day Capline crude pipeline, the biggest in the mainland U.S., including reversing the pipeline.
- Shipping volumes on the pipeline, which runs south to north from the Gulf coast to Illinois, have fallen sharply in recent years as midwestern refiners tap into the growing supply of Canadian and North Dakota crude to replace costly imports via Capline.
- The 632-mile 40-inch pipeline includes more than 10M barrels of storage capacity and 16 mainline pumping stations; MPC operates the line; Plains All American Pipeline (PAA +1.1%) and BP (BP +0.1%) are co-owners.
Wed, Oct. 15, 3:18 PM
- MLPs have been crushed this week, and today Citi warns that the rapid drop in oil prices has created a "negative feedback loop on spending" and that a 15% drop in oil-directed drilling activity would result in a 50% drop in oil production growth.
- It Brent oil prices stabilize at $85-$90, Citi thinks the MLPs exposed mostly to oil and natural gas liquids would rebound modestly as a new equilibrium is developed between producers and midstream companies on spending; if crude continues to slide, Citi says MLPs exposed to natural gas would outperform.
- Miller Howard, a money manager specializing in income-producing stocks, is blaming newbie investors who don't fully understand MLPs and are "in it for the yield."
- Most MLP contracts are very long term, meaning that a temporary change in the oil price has no effect on those sources of revenue, Howard says, adding that "there is far from enough infrastructure to serve the domestic energy industry, even if it slows a bit."
- Some big MLPs have turned higher even as most stocks plunge: KMI +1.8%, KMP +1.5%, EPD +4.8%, PAA +3.7%, ETP +4%, ETE +8.6%, RGP +7.2%, CQP +6.6%, TEP +5.2%, PSXP +4.1%, MMP +7.1%, PAGP +4.9%, EEP +2.1%.

Tue, Oct. 14, 12:33 PM
- MLPs have been brutalized lately, with the benchmark Alerian MLP Index (AMJ +0.5%) plunging 13% in the past week and down another 3% earlier today, but at least some in the group have been trying to bounce back in the past hour or so.
- J.P. Morgan strategists are sticking with their bullish central thesis on MLPs, saying prolific production from unconventional energy plays will keep demand high for new energy infrastructure; the firm believes most core acreage in leading shale plays continues to be economic at current commodity prices, which should drive strong long-term growth prospects for MLPs.
- JPM favors MLPs owning high-quality, diversified assets with strong management teams and proven track records, naming Kinder Morgan (KMI -1.5%), Enterprise Products Partners (EPD +2.5%) and Plains All American Pipeline (PAA -1%).
- ETP +3.7% and OKS +2.5%, LINE +1.4%, but EROC -5.3%, CQP -4.5%, BBEP -2.5%, MMP -2.5%, TEP -2.1%, PSXP -2%, WPZ -1.1%, ACMP -0.5%.

- Energy Transfer Equity (ETE +8%) and Plains GP Holdings (PAGP +4.4%) are higher after Baird upgrades both stocks to Outperform from Neutral with respective price targets of $65 and $32.
- Baird notes the crude oil marketing at underlying partnerships Sunoco Logistics (NYSE:SXL) and Plains All American (NYSE:PAA) create partial crude price exposure to ETE and PAGP, but the firm says it is comfortable with the risk given that the marketing business is relatively less exposed to price levels.
- Spread volatility is most important for ETE and PAGP, and the firm expects increased volatility to partially offset any volumetric headwinds in the event crude continues to fall and remain there for a prolonged period.
Wed, Oct. 1, 12:59 PM
- Plains All American Pipeline (PAA +0.2%) subsidiary Plains Midstream Canada faces a potential shutdown of its operations on allegations it did not comply with the National Energy Board, which says it is investigating the company.
- The NEB says Plains Midstream Canada is not in compliance with a corrective action plan the regulator first demanded from the company after a 2010 audit; it then followed up in January and March of this year and determined the plan had still not been put in place.
- Until last month, Plains had been closely monitored by Alberta energy regulators over two oil spills in the province dating back to 2011, but the reason for the new federal probe is unclear.
Thu, Aug. 21, 11:35 AM
- Plains All American Pipeline (PAA -0.5%) announces plans to construct a 440-mile pipeline from its Cushing, Okla., terminal to Valero's (VLO +0.2%) Memphis refinery, to provide capacity of up to 200K bbl/day of domestic sweet crude.
- PAA expects total project investment of ~$900M and completion in late 2016.
- PAA says the Diamond pipeline project is underpinned by a long-term shipping agreement with VLO and a related contract for storage and terminalling services at the Cushing terminal.
- VLO holds an option until Jan. 2016 to become a partner in the pipeline and purchase a 50% interest.
Thu, Aug. 7, 6:49 PM
- Plains All American (NYSE:PAA) stopped short of saying during today's earnings conference call that it is seeking a ruling from the U.S. government on whether it can export crude condensate, but said it will be ready to do so.
- When an analyst asked if PAA had applied for a ruling, CEO Greg Armstrong declined comment, but when another analyst commented that there was no reason to think PAA's volumes wouldn't be eligible to be exported, the CEO said "the only thing that may get in our way is political arbitrariness."
- PAA has an 80K bbl/day condensate stabilizer in Gardendale, Tex., that is being expanded to 120K; its output can move to Corpus Christi or Houston via pipelines that are joint ventures with Enterprise Products Partners, one of the companies that received export approval from the Commerce Department.
Wed, Aug. 6, 6:23 PM
- Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) reports Q2 earnings matched analyst expectations, as higher costs masked growth in the company's transportation segment.
- Q2 revenue rose 8.7% Y/Y to $11.2B, but total costs and expenses increased 9.3%.
- PAA's transportation business posted adjusted earnings growth of 37% to $229M, mostly on stronger crude pipeline volume; meanwhile, the facilities segment reported adjusted profit fell 10% to $138M, but adjusted earnings for the supply and logistics business slipped 6% to $144M.
- As a result of its H1 performance and its outlook for near baseline performance for the remainder of the year, PAA raises its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance by $25M to a midpoint of $2.175B.
- Says it remains on track to achieve its 10% distribution growth objective for 2014.

From the outset, the Tournament Players Club was destined to be a special course. The culmination of a long-held dream to establish a "home club" for the members of the PGA TOUR and a permanent site for THE PLAYERS Championship, the Tournament Players Club Sawgrass became a reality in 1980. Located 20 miles southeast of Jacksonville and designed by Hall of Famer Pete Dye, the Tournament Players Club Sawgrass was built for major tournament golf and for a nationwide membership. From the beginning, the design of the course included special amenities for spectators, and its spectacular 18th hole affords elevated viewing areas for more than 40,000 galleries. Ranked as #5 among Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play," the TPC Sawgrass is the home of THE PLAYERS Championship in May, which hosts an elite international field of past champions including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Fred Couples, David Duval, and Greg Norman. Treacherous and sand waste areas, watery oppositions on every hole, and Scottish link style bunkers are signatures of this famed par-72 course.

Designed by Hall of Famer Pete Dye, the newest challenge at TPC Sawgrass the DYE's Valley Course is fashioned in the grand tradition of the Tournament Players Club as a tough complement to the TPC Stadium Course. Water comes into play on 6,838 yards along 18 holes, while fairways filled with hills and valleys create additional challenges.
The Golf Club at South Hampton Par: 72 Holes:18Designer(s): Mark McCumberRating/Slope: 74 / 133 315 South Hampton Club Way St. Augustine FL32902 - 10 Miles / 15 Minutes Away
The design intent is to offer every golfer the appropriate risk-reward situations that challenges the experienced player and offers encouragement to the novice. Sixteen large lakes and over sixty contoured bunkers, in combination with meticulous landscaping, provide players with a superbly conditioned facility. The distinctive layout will test shot-making abilities and require the use of every club in the golf bag.
St. Johns Golf & Country ClubPar: 72 Holes:18Designer(s): Clyde JohnstonRating/Slope: 74.7 / 132St. Johns Golf & Country Club St. Augustine FL32902 - 10 Miles / 15 Minutes Away
St. Johns Golf & Country Club is a southeast destination golf course. This golf course was designed by Clyde Johnston, opened in May 2001, and is a gem for everyone to enjoy. Located just south of Jacksonville this is his best effort yet in the area, as proclaimed by the "Florida Times-Union." Carved from a pine forest, the course at St. Johns Golf & Country Club offers a great test for every skill level. Five tees plus a family tee vary the length of the course from a monster 7,200 yards down to 2,400 yards.
