Gastar Exploration Signs Agreement To Acquire An Interest In The West Edmund Hunton Lime Unit In Oklahoma
In the news release, Gastar Exploration Signs Agreement to Acquire an Interest in the West Edmund Hunton Lime Unit in Oklahoma, issued 05-Sep-2013 by Gastar Exploration Ltd. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that multiple factual changes were made throughout the release. The complete, corrected release follows:
Gastar Exploration Signs Agreement to Acquire an Interest in the West Edmund Hunton Lime Unit in Oklahoma
- Expected to add approximately 2,000 net BOE per day and 24,000 HBP net acres to Gastar's existing 96,300 net acres in the Hunton Limestone play
- Transaction expected to be accretive to future earnings, cash flow and EBITDA
HOUSTON, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastar Exploration Ltd. (NYSE MKT: GST) today announced that it has signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a 98.3% working interest (80.5% net revenue interest) in 24,000 acres of the West Edmund Hunton Lime Unit ("WEHLU") located in Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma and Canadian counties, Oklahoma. All of the acreage in the unit is held by production ("HBP") and located nearly adjacent to a portion of the Hunton Limestone assets that Gastar acquired earlier this year from Chesapeake Energy ( see attached map). The transaction purchase price is $187.5 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, with an expected closing date in late November 2013 and a purchase effective date of August 1, 2013.
The property currently produces at a daily net sales rate of 1,200 barrels of oil ("BO"), 2.7 million cubic feet of natural gas ("MMCF") and 428 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") – or 2,078 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"). Based on Gastar's internal estimates, total proved reserves are 11.1 million BOE, of which 66% is oil and 43% is proved developed. The estimated present value of proved reserves (discounted at 10% using NYMEX futures pricing as of August 28, 2013) is $191.3 million.
The transaction is expected to be funded from the potential issuance of additional long-term debt, the potential issuance of perpetual preferred stock, borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility, cash on hand and the expected proceeds from the sale of our East Texas assets. Gastar intends to pursue a potential partner to help acquire and develop the acreage."This transaction is another important step in our program to further balance Gastar's production profile between liquids and natural gas while also expanding our presence in the Hunton play," said J. Russell Porter, President and Chief Executive officer of Gastar. "This strategic 'tack-on' acquisition provides a stable producing asset base and meaningful upside potential. With this acquisition, we now have over 380 net potential drilling locations in our Mid-Continent oil play. "The acquisition of the producing reserves, plus the PUD reserves to be developed on the HBP acreage, has attractive economics, and the transaction is projected to be immediately accretive to earnings, cash flow and EBITDA per share. It will also significantly increase our total reserves and production and further support our shift towards owning and producing high-value crude oil and natural gas liquids.

Born in New York City, the oldest of eleven children, Caroline Kirkland was educated in Quaker schools for over ten years, exposing her to the social philosophies of the Quakers. She worked as a teacher herself, helping to support her family after her father died, before she met her husband, William Kirkland, who was a tutor at Hamilton College in upstate New York. After moving to Michigan to run the Detroit Female Seminary in 1835, the Kirklands purchased land northwest of Detroit. It was the Kirkland's experience on the frontier that precipitated the creation of A New Home, Caroline Kirkland's first book. The book, published in 1839 under the pseudonym Mrs. Mary Clavers, was praised for its realism, though some of her neighbors were not happy with their portrayal. She published two other books about frontier life, Western Clearings and Forest Life. After returning to New York City in 1843, Kirkland began teaching again and worked as an editor for the Christian Inquirer and The Union Magazine of Literature and Art. Her writing, which was often satirical, offered social criticism on topics ranging from women's rights and education to prison reform and social class. She was praised by Edgar Allen Poe, who said she was "unquestionably…one of our best writers." (Linda Spekhals)

The International Swimming Hall of Fame Gold Medallion Award is
presented each year to a former competitive swimmer for his or her national
or international significant achievements in the field of science, entertainment,
art, business, education, or government. There are no restrictions other than
the recipient must be an outstanding adult whose life has served as an
inspiration for youth.
Born in Canton, Ohio, William Robert "Tim" Timken, Jr. taught himself to swim on a family
vacation to the beach, beginning a love affair with swimming that has remained with him
throughout every phase of his life.
He was a prep school All-American swimmer at Phillips Andover Academy and captained the
swim team at Stanford University. After earning a master's degree from the Harvard Graduate
School of Business Administration, in 1962, he joined the family business – the Timken
Company – a manufacturing dynamo started by his great-grandfather in 1899. Throughout his
43 years with the company, serving in many positions, from bauxite shoveler to President,
CEO and as Chairman for 30 years, Tim continued swimming. In 1974, he helped found the
O*H*I*O Masters Swim Club, (Old Hearts Inspiring Others), the largest masters program in
Ohio, at the Branin Natatorium in Canton. In 1976, he helped bring the U.S. Olympic Team to
Canton for training. As a Masters Swimmer, Tim has won numerous National and World
Championships, set dozens of national and international records, has excelled in open water
swims and twice swam on relays that crossed the English Channel.
Swimming was a welcome respite and diversion from the pressures of managing one of the world's
great manufacturing corporations.
"At the company, everything is accomplished by a team," says Timken. "But in swimming, it's you
and you alone. Money doesn't matter. Your name doesn't matter. Your success is accomplished on
your own and depends upon how much effort you put into it as an individual."
When he wasn't swimming, Tim was deftly leading the Timken Company through the recessions of
the 1980's and 1990s, economic downturns that decimated much of America's manufacturing sector.
"We're a producer's producer, and we tend to be at the whip's end when recessions crack," said
Like the iron, steel and textile industries, the Timken Company, best known for making roller bearings used by the transportation and industrial equipment industries, was losing ground to cheaper imports from the Far East. Timken won antidumping cases against the Japanese, among others, but it didn't stop there. To help break out of an old pattern--watching strong profits earned in good times turn into losses during a recession--Timken spent money when nearly everybody else was laying back. By boldly investing in efficiency and hi-tech expansion both in the U.S. and overseas, the Timken Company increased productivity and dramatically reduced controllable costs, production lead time, delivery time and prices. Tim retired from day to day operations of the company in 2003, leaving the Timken Company, a worldwide NYSE, Fortune 500 company with annual sales of 5.8 billion dollars and over 27,000 employees operating in more than 24 countries, well positioned to navigate the current economic crisis.
Following his retirement, he received a presidential appointment to serve as Chairman of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation and on August 15, 2005, he was sworn in as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Federal Republic of Germany. He presented his credentials to German President Horst Köhler on September 2, 2005. After more than three years in Germany, Ambassador Timken and his wife, Sue, returned to the U.S. in December 2008.
During his private sector career, Ambassador Timken served on the boards of numerous public companies. He has also chaired the National Association of Manufacturers, The Manufacturing Institute, the Ohio Business Roundtable and was a member of the U.S.-Japan Business Council for 20 years.
He has been involved with education at all levels, serving on the Advisory Boards of the Stanford University School of Business and the Institution European D'Administration de Affairs (INSEAD). He served as a Trustee of Stanford University, The Hoover Institution and as Chairman of the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges.
Ambassador Timken has also received many honors and awards. He is a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor and an honorary citizen of Colmar, France. He has received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship, the Adam Smith Award and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. He has been named Ohio Business Statesman of the Year and has received the Ohio Governors Award.

The release of charity War Child's 'Heroes' compilation has been delayed until next year after more musicians expressed an interest in working on the project.
The album had been expected on November 22nd but will not be released next February.
"We have been overwhelmed and amazed by the response to the project," a statement read.
"The wealth of talent who have contacted us wishing to support the charity and contribute to the album is humbling and we are delighted to have been able to change our deadlines to accommodate some of them. It was impossible to say no."
The album offers legendary musicians the opportunity to choose a modern day star to reimagine one of their songs.

Our fascination with chocolate factories is aptly captured by Roald Dahl's classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie is the proud winner of a golden ticket, his entree to the event of a lifetime: a behind-the-scenes tour of Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. I stumbled upon these virtual chocolate factory tours just in time for the chocolate holiday Valentine's Day. No tickets, golden or otherwise, required.
Ghirardelli Square History3 stars
Ghirardelli Square, now a San Francisco landmark, was built at the turn of the century as a expansion of the Ghirardelli chocolate factory. Domingo Ghirardelli, born in Italy in 1817, was lured to California from Peru by tales of the gold rush. After several ill-fated business attempts, Ghirardelli returned to his roots in the chocolate business, and found incredible success. Unfortunately, their Web site is not a virtual tour, but I found the Ghirardelli history interesting.
Hershey's Chocolate Tour5 stars
Hershey's plant in Pennsylvania, with nearly two million square feet of manufacturing space, is the largest chocolate factory in the world. Since opening in 1905, it's hosted millions of visitors. The public tour, however, was discontinued in 1973. But today, without even leaving home, you can take the tour that made Hershey, PA "one of America's favorite destinations." First I learned that cocoa beans, the primary ingredient of chocolate, grow only within twenty degrees of the equator. No wonder no one in my neighborhood grows their own chocolate. Continuing with sugar, almonds, peanuts and milk, you'll learn about each ingredient and each part of the manufacturing process.
Lindt & Sprungli5 stars
Rodolphe Lindt of Berne, Switzerland invented the chocolate-refining process known as "conching" and was the first to add cocoa butter to chocolate. I was very excited to find this online tour of the Lindt & Sprungli factory because of the time I spent in Switzerland working on the computers at Swiss Credit Bank. When I wasn't knee-deep in octal memory dumps (have I impressed you yet?), I could be found checking out the goods at the Sprungli cafe in Zurich. To view the video tour, you'll need to download Microsoft's NetShow. But once you have, there is little delay in the streaming-video factory tour.
Wonka Factory4 stars
This animated playground created by Nestlé, was inspired by Dahl's Willie Wonka character. In the science lab, you'll learn about the melting points of solids such as chocolate, butter, sugar and ice. Or balance the acid and alkali levels in the sweet and sour candies. In the Inventonator, you can arrange musical machine parts to create a melody. All the games require Shockwave, and are designed for the under-ten set. Though obviously designed to sell their candies, the result is fun and educational.

"I worked in a tearoom in Brittany once, but I was always getting fired for not emptying the ashtrays, or whatever," the actress says in her baritone voice, puffing on what must be her zillionth Marlboro Red. "I think I have a problem with authority."
The indie flick, which scored the World Cinema Screenwriting Award at Sundance in January, was written and directed by Mouglalis' dashing other half, Samuel Benchetrit. Having landed her big break at age 21 in Claude Chabrol's "Merci Pour le Chocolat," Mouglalis, who turns 30 in April, said that it's the human side of the gangsters that attracted her to her current project: types who set out to commit criminal acts but who are too nice to actually follow through on them. She decides to stick around and try her luck.
Mouglalis plays the penniless Suzy, one half of the film's bungling Bonnie and Clyde-esque lead duo, opposite Edouard Baer. In one scene, Suzy attempts to rob a cafeteria by knocking the owner unconscious from behind with a gun, only to spy a "waitress wanted" sign once he's out cold.
And the shoot was not without incident. "We had loads of catastrophes. Somebody broke their leg, and the decor set fire, which meant taking a break for three months, with me pregnant, growing bigger every day," recalls the actress, whose uniform throughout comprises biker boots and a crumpled cafeteria dress thrown over a long-sleeve T.
With her wiry, gamine frame, it's hard to imagine the actress is a young mama. The couple's one-year-old baby girl, Saul, even stars with Mouglalis in the film's poster, pictured being breast-fed.
"Sam was taking photos of me nursing, stuck a toy gun in my jeans and voilà," said Mouglalis. The resulting photo is reminiscent of a Wild West "Wanted" poster. "The idea is that even a mother can be armed and dangerous," explains Mouglalis.

This is the very best Olive Garden that we have ever been to. I've been to many of them up and down the east coast, and by far this one is the best. We have always managed to have great wait staff, and have never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. We make it a point to visit several times while in town, whether for a light lunch, or a big dinner. It takes awhile to get a seat in the summer when everything is in season, but once seated the service is top notch. We come down all four seasons as we have a second home in the area, but no matter what the season, always taken care of well. You won't be disappointed.

My mom & I come here everytime we visit nmb. Food is excellent. I had the Seafood Alfredo & my mom had the Chicken Marsala both very good. Our waiters name was Jeremy, I would highly recommend him. Very personable. About 20 minutes before we left it got rather busy ( due to a large group right next to us ) & he apologized that it was so loud in the room.Rather impressive in my opinion! And the coffee here is amazing!!!!! Overall it was a very pleasant night. =)

We were in this restraunt on August 17th,2011 we had great service but we ordered two meals and the waitress brought us 4 salad plates knowing that we had ordered 2 meals. So when we got our bill they had charged us $3.35 per salad and my 3 year old does not eat that much salad and we had to pay $3.35 for hers too.. I think that the waitress should of told us that we were going to be charged this and not be surprised when we ge the final bill..
We visit our Olive Garden here in Jackson,Michigan where we live and we have never been charged that for the salad..
I think that should be changed for further issues like this....

On 7/29/11 my family of 5, after driving for 10 hours and unpacking, went to this Olive Garden for dinner. As part of our family tradition we have always had our first dinner in Myrtle Beach at this Olive Garden. We have been doing this for the past 7 years or so. However we are rethinking whether or not traditions are made to be broken. We were told we had to wait 60-90 minutes when we arrived, which was not the problem. We immediately noticed other parties of 5 that were going in to be seated after waiting only 15 minutes so we went and asked why. We were told they had called ahead and therefore were able to be seated ahead of us. We were not aware of this as I know of no other resturants that do not take reservations that allow this. Well we were finally called to be seated after 80 minutes of waiting only to be asked if we really needed 3 high chairs. We had told them when we first came in that we had 5 adults (all over 18) and would take first available seating. We had no idea where the 3 high chairs came from but it quickly became evident that that screwup was why we had been kept waiting as the host that seated us said "good, we could only come up with 2 and have been waiting for a third". Our server was the absolute worst. Her name is Sierra (spelling?) so avoid her if you can. She kept forgetting our orders, refills....an absolute mess! She had the personality of a stick. We were finally able to get out of there about 3 hours after we first arrived. Certainly made for a bad first impression on this trip to Myrtle Beach.

I have always found Olive Gardens across the country to be hit or miss... but this one is by far the best I have been to. The food was great and the service equally as good. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table but it was a saturday night in the summer. Overall really good dinner.

Came in and no problem being seated didn't like that they place you at the far back exit door and build from there but I'm sure we could have changed if we wanted they did offer booth/table.
Food was great with fresh salada /bread. Pasta was hot when it arrived was excellent. Meatballs and sausage were cooked to perfection.
Had a great server by the name of September friendly always smiling and looked at you when you talked to her. Wide variety on menu and we will go back

We eat at Olive Garden each time we visit NMB. It is my grandchildren's favorite place to eat. On our visit this past Friday night we had maybe our best waitress ever. I could not beleive my 10 year old Grandson ask for her name so he could ask for her on our next visit. Thanks Pat for a special night.

First off, I would like to start out by saying that the food was excellent as always; however, our server was not. I work in the hospitality industry and �Diane P.� is by far the worst server I have ever encountered. My associates and I eat there nearly every week. She was not attentive and downright rude at times. For example: my associates and I were commenting on how awesome the salad at your establishment is and her response to that was: �Oh, it�s not that great. You get sick of it if you have to look at it every day.� Now, my question is, why make that comment right before we are getting ready to eat that salad? And furthermore, why put down any food that you are serving to your customers? My second concern was that she nearly spilled soup on another one of my associates- she tried to pass it over another�s head and instead of saying excuse me and passing it to her in the proper manner, she nonchalantly says �Whoa!�. We went for 10-15 minutes without her even checking on us, and when she did she acted as if it was a bother to service us. Finally my associate had to ask another server to refill her drink, as it was apparent that Diane was distracted. I know that it is busy in there. But every time that we go in there it is relatively busy, and never once have we encountered the terrible service that we did today. In my opinion, if she hates her job at the Olive Garden so much as to provide the horrible service that she did today, she most definitely needs to get out of the hospitality business, and find a new profession. Maybe she would be better suited working at Dick�s Last Resort- as that is what her demeanor suggested. We will definitely patronize your restaurant again, but we will make sure to tell the hostess not to seat us where Diane P. is serving.

Our party called ahead as instructed when I tried to make reservations, we were still made to wait over 30 minutes. When I question why it was taking so long I was told we had already been seated. The services was terrible. The waiter was slow, and since this was my daughters birthday we expected a free desert for her instead the waiter threw some mints on her plates and said happy birthday. There was not special about the food. My pasta was tasteless, (I didn't think you could ruin pasta) My father in-law said his food was good as did my wife. My two daughters had my opinion. I have been to Olive Gardens all over the US and this was the first bad experience. I won't eat there again.

Went to Olive Garden on our last night of vacation in Myrtle Beach. It was awesome. The wait was less than 20 minutes on a busy Friday night and July 4th weekend to boot! The food was outstanding. The breadsticks are the best! And my family of 4 ate for less than 70 dollars. Wish we had gone to Olive Garden more often instead of those overrated and pricey "all you can eat seafood buffets". We will definitely return to this Olive Garden next year.

Went in Late and ordered Chicken Parm, I think chef wanted to get even with us for coming in so late, so he breaded up a Hockey Puck, put about a tsp of sauce on it and sent it out to the table. My buddy ate the hot sausage and linguini, it was black in color, looked like it was cooked the day before, and we almost mistook it for a German Shepard Log. There are alot of places to eat on the Northern Strand, and this is definately not one I will be returning to, especially after nine at night.

Tonight was not such an Olive Garden experience....not a good one & not at the North Myrtle Beach, SC Olive Garden.....we purposely order our appetizers first, before our dinner order so that we would not be rushed....well we gobbled up our soups & salad & then our appetizers arrived, I had one bite full & low & behold there is our dinner.....and imagine the waitress is annoyed with us...so we were rushed right through our meal.....had it boxed, they did not even ask if we wanted dessert......it was definitely an unenjoyable dinner for 4 with over a $100 bill. I would not eat at their again....

My Wife and I went here for an early supper today around 4:30pm. The Service provided by Tracy, was excellent. I didn't ever have to ask for a refill on my drink she automatically brought another to the table as my wife or I were getting low.
My wife had the Chicken Parm, with Fetucine Alfredo (as always), and she said it was excellent. I don't like the additional $1.95 for the Fettucine Alfredo with the Chicken Parm other restaurants we go to charge $1.00 and that is reasonable. This 1.95 upcharge is a little excessive in my opinion. I had a new menu item, Gnocchi with Chicken in a cream sauce. It was very good but the portion was a little small for the price.
The service at this location was better than the Olive Garden we usually go to on Walden Ave in Buffalo, the staff was also much nicer.

-Person who, I mean, at this point, who even knows?
-Aside from writing "I AM SORRY DANIEL CLOWES" in the sky on January 1st in Los Angeles, a place where Daniel Clowes does not even live, I would guess that SHIA LABEOUF is attempting — through his continuous "borrowed" apologies on Twitter — to make his being outed as a plagiarist look intentional, which is certainly one way to deal with it.
-If "dealing with it" and "making everyone so exhausted by it that they eventually just don't care anymore" are the same thing.
-Which they maybe are?
-Except to Daniel Clowes.
-I assume he will respond another way.

Shia cribbed this apology from a similar one that Charles Burns (look him up) skywrote to Daniel Clowes back in the 90s. Also happy new year, everyone!
Kate | Posted on Jan 2nd +6
Also cribbed from the wicked witch who said Surrender Dorothy Daniel Clowes. (or something like that)
Actually, the story goes that Daniel Clowes was actually the one who apologized to Burns. They were at a Fantagraphics Holiday Party and Clowes got tipsy and spilled red wine on Burns' nice white oxford shirt.

- 2 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4WDs have climbed 6646 km above sea level to the rim of the Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile-the highest altitude reached by a 4WD. It took 5 days for a team led by German adventurer Mattias Jeschke to drive from the base and the team experienced surfaces that included fissured rock cliffs, volcanic sand and glacial ice so smooth that walking up there requires spiked shoes. It even withstood "hurricane-strength" wind and temperatures of -30C. The Wranglers used Goodyear MT/R tyres.

As with most Jeep, the fuel consumption is quite High for a 4 passengers vehicule (or 2 passengers + some cargo). To get in the back seat of this vehicule can be a little hard for people not used to it, especially if these person are short. The tubular sidesteps needs to be removed when going off road to prevent damage to the body or the sidesteps. If a user intend to go offroad with his vehicule, he needs to take this into consideration before taking that option. Also, Chrysler is not selling half door or full doors kit so they need to be purchased either on the aftermarket or buy all the parts seperately.
Current Generation: (2007–present)
JK 2007 will see the complete redesign of the Jeep Wrangler, in both two and four-door models. The TJ platform will be replaced by a new JK platform, becoming this time a mid-size SUV. It will become Jeep's third mid-size SUV, after the Grand Cherokee and the Commander in the lineup. This next-generation Wrangler is significantly larger than the existing model, with a 2 in (50.8 mm) longer wheelbase and 3.4 in (86.4 mm) wider track. Jeep is not the only company introducing a third mid-size SUV; Ford is introducing its Edge for 2007.
Many Wrangler enthusiasts have decried this new vehicle's larger size, claiming that it runs counter to the character of the Wrangler, and is too big to be an effective off-road vehicle. However, it should be noted that similar complaints were heard during previous redesigns. Jeep reportedly intends to cement the Wrangler's position as the marque's most-rugged vehicle as new car-based crossover SUVs take some of its on-road market share.
The JK Wrangler is expected to be offered in three versions eventually:
- A short-wheelbase 2-door
- Introduced at 2006 North American International Auto Show with Chrysler group CEO, Tom LaSorda driving it up the steps and through a plate glass window, just as Robert Lutz had done at the show in 1992 with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
- A long-wheelbase Unlimited 4-door
- Introduced at the 2006 New York Auto Show buried in dirt and sprayed with a fire hose. See the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited article
- A long-wheelbase Unlimited pickup truck
A 3.8 L OHV V6 producing 205 hp (153 kW) and 240 ft·lbf (325 N·m) will be the base engine, replacing the venerable AMC Straight-6 engine. The 4.7 L PowerTech V8 and 2.8 L VM Motori turbodiesel straight-4 used in the Liberty are likely to also be offered as options in some markets. A 6-speed manual transmission will be standard, with a 4-speed automatic transmission offered as an option. Stability control will be a new safety feature for the Wrangler.
A traditional soft top is standard equipment. Available equipment includes a Sunrider Soft Top or new 3-piece modular hardtop. The hardtop allows the sides to be removed for an open-air feeling. Although the doors can still be removed in traditional Wrangler fashion, power windows and remote power door locks will be offered for the first time. Another first is an available navigation system.
JK Wrangler Unlimited
See the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited article
Previous Generations
Third generation (1997-2006)
The YJ gave way to the TJ for the 1997 model year. This updated Wrangler featured a coil-spring suspension (based on that of the Jeep Grand Cherokee) for better ride and handling, and a return to the CJ's iconic round headlamps. The engine is the same 4.0 L AMC Straight-6 used in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. A 2.5 L AMC Inline-4 motor was available on entry-level models until 2003 when the 2.4 L DOHC Neon 4-cylinder engine replaced it. This model of the Jeep was the first Wrangler to have airbags.
Other changes included the 1999 additions of a larger standard fuel tank, child seat tethers and sound system improvements in 2000, and intermittent wipers, a new console, and an optional locking compartment for 2001.
TJ Wrangler Rubicon
The Wrangler Rubicon (named for the famed Rubicon Trail off-road test circuit) was introduced in 2003. It features front and rear Dana 44 axles with built-in air-actuated locking differentials, rear helical gear-driven limited slip differential, 4:1 low-range NV241 transfer case, 4.10:1 differential gears, 16 in alloy wheels, and Goodyear MTR P245×75×R16 tires. 2003 and 2004 featured the NV3550 manual transmission in the Rubicon while 2005 changed to a six speed. The 42RLE four-speed automatic transmission was available from 2003 to 2005.
A limited run of 1,000 Wrangler Rubicon "Tomb Raider" models were produced in 2003 to promote the Tomb Raider sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Along with the standard Rubicon fare, it also included exterior features such as 16 in. Alcoa forged aluminum wheels, Tomb Raider badging, and Mopar accessories including a light bar, riveted fender flares, tubular grille guard, diamond-plated bumper guard, etc. Interior features included Dark Slate fabric seats with red accent stitching down the center, silver surround instrument panel bezel, red seatbelts and a Tomb Raider badge with serial number. To match the vehicle in the film, it was offered in Bright Silver.
TJ Wrangler Unlimited
In 2004, Jeep introduced the Wrangler Unlimited with a 10 in (~25.4 cm) longer wheelbase; it came stuffed with a Dana 44 solid rear axle, 3:73 gear ratio, the legendary Command-Trac 231 transfer case, and is also known by its unofficial designation of LJ. In 2005, Jeep released the Rubicon Unlimited, which had the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon, such as front and rear locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, Solid front and rear Dana 44 axles, and a tough NVG241 transfer case with a 4:0:1 low range set of gears, 245 75R 16 Goodyear MT/R's, a six-speed manual transmission as well, and many other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers.
Also in 2005 Jeep released a limited production "Sahara Edition" Rubicon Unlimited. Only 1000 were produced and each one is numbered. All of them are visually identical, but some were offered in a manual and others an automatic. They are all Light Khaki, Unlimiteds. Trim differences over the standard Rubicon include chrome grill, color matched flares, dual tops, Graphite Moab wheels, a Sahara spare tire cover, upgraded seats, Sahara decals, tail light guards, and a numbered dash badge.
Second generation (1987–1996)
The Jeep YJ, sold as the Wrangler, replaced the much-loved but slower-selling Jeep CJ in 1987. It was a new design with less ground clearance, more comfort, and some of its inspiration coming from its stablemate, the Jeep Cherokee, rather than from its CJ predecessor alone (this prompted some Jeep purists to interpret the YJ as a "yuppie Jeep" upon the model's introduction). The YJ also had a leaf spring suspension similar to that of the CJ. 632,231 YJs were built through model year 1995. The YJ was replaced in 1996 by 1997's TJ. YJs are easily identifiable by their rectangular headlights.
The YJ used a 2.5 L AMC I4 or optional 4.2 L AMC I6 until 1991. That year, a fuel injected 180 hp (134 kW) 4.0 L variant replaced the 112 hp (84 kW) 4.2 L straight-6.
The roll cage was extended in 1992 to allow for rear shoulder belts, and anti-lock brakes were added as an option the next year. An automatic transmission option for 4-cylinder Wranglers came in 1994 along with a center high-mounted stop light.
On August 5, 1987, American Motors was bought by Chrysler, and the Jeep marque became a part of Chrysler's Jeep/Eagle division.

Design quirks and oddities
The ignitions of many of the YJ model jeeps could be turned without use of a key. There is an ignition locking lever, but you can switch it off to easily turn the ignition without a key.

In this modern retelling of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi horror, civilization is laid to ruin when a super race of aliens invades Earth. In a blink of an eye, massive "walkers" cover the planet, annihilating all in their path. As cities crumble and human fl
An ordinary man has to protect his children against alien invaders in this science fiction thriller, freely adapted from the classic story by H.G. Wells. Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is a dockworker living in New Jersey, divorced from his first wife Mary Ann (Miranda Otto) and estranged from his two children Rachel and Robbie (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin), of whom he has custody on weekends. On one such visitation, looking after the kids becomes a little more difficult when, after a series of strange lighting storms hit his neighborhood, Ray discovers that a fleet of death-ray robotic spaceships have emerged nearby, part of the first wave of an all-out alien invasion of the Earth. Transporting his children from New York to Boston in an attempt to find safety at Mary Ann's parents' house, Ray must learn to become the protector and provider he never was in marriage. Also starring Tim Robbins, War of the Worlds was directed by Steven Spielberg, who had been planning the project for years, but set it aside until a wave of "alien invasion" films (led by Independence Day) had run its course.
A contemporary retelling of H.G.Wells' classic, the sci-fi thriller reveals the extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family. Fleeing from an extraterrestrial army of killer Tripods, Ray Ferrier races to keep his family safe.
Academy Award®-winner Julia Roberts (Best Actress in a Leading Role, Erin Brockovich, 2000) leads an all-star cast featuring Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhall and Marcia Gay Harden.

Few things are more satisfying than watching a great episode of TV with an appreciative audience. Such was the case Wednesday night when FX screened the Rescue Me finale (my second viewing, but my first on the big screen) at New York's grand Ziegfeld Theater, a benefit for Denis Leary's Firefighters Foundation. Fittingly, a number of NYFD's finest were in the crowd, laughing at all the right places and cheering at many others (and maintaining a respectful silence when things got serious, which never lasted for very long).It was a triumphant end to one of cable's most distinctive (if sometimes maddening) series, a well-timed tribute to ...

While social media may have revolutionised the way that brands interact with their target audience, the difficulty still remains in how to measure its effectiveness. After counting the likes, retweets and YouTube views, it's still unclear exactly how to break down their worth.
Even the most straight-laced and conservative brands are aware of Twitter and Facebook and know that they should probably get an account and start engaging. However, everyone has a different idea on how valuable interaction on each social media channel will be.
ROI for efforts ploughed into social networking is still difficult to measure, but increasingly experts agree that it's best viewed as a long-term commitment, rather than a flash in the pan mini-explosion.
Social media management platform Wildfire conducted a survey in November 2011 which canvassed the opinions of 700 online marketing entities of various sizes in order to gauge their collective view of social media ROI. The resultant infographic can be viewed here on their official blog.
The survey's results determined that an overwhelming 97 per cent of respondents believed that social media marketing benefitted their business and 75 per cent intended to increase their spend this year.
The respondents saw the chief value of social media as being useful for growing brand awareness and engaging in dialogue with their customers. 58 per cent said that it was useful for increasing sales and encouraging partnerships. 41 per cent claimed that it helped reduce costs.
Facebook was rated as the most important channel on which to cultivate a fan fallowing. 70 per cent of the marketers believed that Facebook fans are worth more than non-fans as they help drive new customer recruitment and make more frequent purchases.
Wildfire's closing statement was to issue a warning to brands that while everybody wants to grow a social media fan-following, it's important to have a long-term online strategy to engage those fans once you have them. Failing to do so can be more harmful than doing nothing in the first place.
Putting out social signals to search engines has a broad range of benefits for a brand, provided that they can continue to provide fans with a reason to stay. Socially powered SEO is becoming ever more important as Google and other search engines reward social media engagement with higher rankings in their SERPs.

Clarksville, TN – Dr. Solie Fott, Austin Peay State University professor emeritus of music, considers himself to be just a fiddle player, but that's a bit of an understatement.
Throughout his sideline career as a Nashville sessions string player, he has performed with some of the top names in modern music history, including Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Kris Kristofferson and Eddie Arnold.
Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Community Concert Association in conjunction with Austin Peay State University brought the Grégoire Maret Quartet to the Midsouth Jazz Festival on Saturday evening. The Midsouth jazz Festival closes out Clarksville Community Concert Association's Community Concert Series each year.
The Grégoire Maret performance at the Midsouth Jazz Festival like all great jazz, seemed to be either a love it or hate it experience; with a sampling of audience members going each way. But as they say it takes different strokes for different folks.

Clarksville, TN – At 92, Toots Thielemans is considered the world's greatest jazz harmonica musician, having played with luminaries such as Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.
In 2012, Thielemans made a guest appearance on 37-year-old Gregoire Maret's self-titled debut solo album, and most music critics saw this as a passing of the baton to a new master of the jazz harmonica.

Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Community Concert Association presented a performance by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in the George & Sharon Mabry Concert Hall at Austin Peay State University on Friday.
The concert mixed music of both African and European origins to deliver a performance that kept the audience enthralled.
The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
Clarksville, TN – The Grammy award-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet will perform in Clarksville at 7:30pm on November 15th, at the Austin Peay State University Mabry Concert Hall.
The concert, which is part of the Clarksville Community Concert Association's 2013-14 concert series, will feature a diverse repertoire of music, including Afro-Cuban rhythms, American Composer Aaron Copeland's "Two Mexican Pieces," Hungarian Composer Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody," African-inspired music and others written specifically for the quartet.
Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Community Concert Association (CCCA) held this season opener at the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall on Austin Peay State University Friday evening. The concert featured the Toomai String Quintet and what was the first quintet to be featured in a Clarksville community concert series event.
The program was entitled songs without words and featured a selection of choral music played with their five instruments performing the role of the voices. It was sublime. These five performers were able to draw the emotional complexity from the music with apparently effortless ease.

Clarksville, TN – The New York-based Toomai String Quintet will perform a program titled "Songs Without Words" at 7:30pm on Friday, September 27th, in the Austin Peay State University Mabry Concert Hall.
The evening marks the first concert of the 2013-14 Clarksville Community Concert Series, and it also is a component of the University's annual Honors Orchestra Festival.

Big Band, Jazz and Swing
Clarksville, TN – The 129th Army Jazz Band with 1st Sergeant Richard Griffin will present a concert Free for the entire community. This will be an opportunity for the entire family to enjoy an evening of big band music, jazz, and swing.
The concert will be held at the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall, Austin Peay State University, Music/Mass Communication Building, 8th and Marion streets in Clarksville, Friday, September 13th at 7:30pm.
129th Army Jazz Band with 1st Sergeant Richard Griffin
Clarksville, TN – In 2011, the New York Times published a review of a new jazz album, "Dawn of Goodbye," by a trumpeter named Dominick Farinacci. The album cover, printed with the article, showed a black and white image of a handsome, but very young-looking, 28-year-old musician. That picture caused some jazz aficionados to assume the album was the work of a novice. The Times review intended to correct that misconception.
"Mr. Farinacci plays beautifully, with expressive control, throughout a program of love-haunted standards and compatible originals, including his yearning title track," the review stated. "His phrasing attests to some close study of Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, but avoids outright imitation."

Commerce Bancshares: Black Friday Winner
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Commerce Bancshares (CBSH) was bank stock winner on Friday, with shares rising 3% to close at $39.20.
The broad indexes all gains of over 1% during an abbreviated Black Friday trading session. The U.S. economy calendar was empty.
On Thursday, when U.S. markets were closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, the HSBC Flash China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index came in with a November reading of 50.4, which was the highest level for the PMI in 13 months. It was also the first time in 13 months that the PMI level was above 50, which indicates manufacturing expansion. The PMI rose from 49.5 in October.
Hongbin Qu -- HSBC's chief economist for China and co-head of Asian economic research for the firm -- said the flash PMI reading for China "confirms that the economic recovery continues to gain momentum towards the year end. However, it is still the early stage of recovery and global economic growth remains fragile. This calls for a continuation of policy easing to strengthen the recovery."The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rose 2% to close at 49.17, with all 24 index components showing gains for the session. Commerce Bancshares of Kansas City, Mo., has now seen its stock return 5% year-to-date, following a 3% return in 2011, which was a strong performance, considering that the KBW Bank Index dropped 15% last year. The shares trade for a 1.5 times their reported Sept. 30 book value of $25.47, and for 13 times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of $2.97 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $3.07. Based on a quarterly payout of 23 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.35%. Commerce has been one of the strongest and most consistent earners among the components of the KBW Bank Index, with operating returns on average assets ranging between 1.20% and 1.38% over the past five quarters, and returns on equity ranging between 11.49% and 12.73%, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. While several components of the KBW Bank Index have seen higher returns on equity during that period, Commerce is very strong capitalized, with a tangible common equity ratio of 10.49% as of Sept. 30, exceeded only by Peoples United Financial (PBCT), among the 24 index components.
