any good clubs in johnson city
Posted in the Johnson City Forum

I will be in town this weekend. Are there any good dance clubs in Bristol or Johnson city or any live music venues?
#2 Jan 10, 2012
No. Not a single one worth your time in Bristol or Johnson City. Come to think of it, there isn't a decent place closer than Knoxville or Roanoke! Spend the night in, watching a movie or something. Seriouslly.
#3 Jan 11, 2012
This area is the buckle of the bible belt, so your best bet for finding some dancing or live music would be on Sunday morning at one of the local holy roller churches.

It can be fun if you would actually get out..112 is a good...electric cowboy is a ok ...nuemans ...theres. Plenty to do..just as much as chat ...

If you can't find any local clubs or churches with dancing to your liking, you can always try your hand at clogging. You can do this by yourself and all you need is a pair of shoes with hard soles and a hard floor such as found in your hotel room's bathroom. Clogging was quite popular back in the day among mountain folks because they didn't have any type of pest control to kill cockroaches. They'd invite all of their family & friends over for clogging parties where they'd play bluegrass music & guzzle moonshine until sunset. Once it turned dark & the pesky cockroaches became active, everyone would start stomping away. Clogging parties were also used when installing or re-tightening wood floors because it eliminated the need to waste time hammering away at nails.
A sample clogging party for a new wood floor can be viewed by going to

The Electric Cowboy has been well known for the oast year or so to be mainly a gay hangout for gay men. Popular for now being a gay bar. I'd stay away, unless that's your thing.

Capones downtown is a nice place to go.. try that out..
#9 Nov 8, 2013
Hi! My Husband and I are going with a couple of our friends to Johnson City, TN to check out a nightclub that has a live band. We like southern rock,country etc. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank 7you very much :)

The Battery in downtown Johnson City is open 'til 3. It doesn't get cranking 'til around midnight. There's no cover and the drink prices are good.

Heard the same thing about that place.

Janelle Monae, The Electric Lady
Janelle Monae returned with her black tux uniform and edgy funk to finally get her props from the mainstream. With the release of The Electric Lady, she set critics pens wagging with her ode to strong women, "Q.U.E.E.N." featuring Erykah Badu. Prince even joined the LP to pump up the Archandroid with the cut "Give 'Em What They Love."

Australian tycoon's 'rape' tirade against Chinese firm
Published on Feb 7, 2014 10:53 AM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Outspoken resources tycoon Clive Palmer condemned the "rape and disrespect" of Australia by foreign firms in a spat with a Chinese miner that warned the case was being watched closely in Asia.
Mr Palmer is locked in a long-running dispute over royalties and port operations with Hong Kong-based Citic Pacific over its Sino Iron magnetite project, a partnership with China's state-owned Metallurgical Group Corporation.
Citic is mining for magnetite iron ore on Mr Palmer's sprawling Australian Mardie Station cattle farm under a 25-year lease. But the two parties have clashed over what share of the proceeds are owed to the Australian businessman and whether his company, Mineralogy, is the legal operator of the project's export terminal at Port Preston.
Mr Palmer lashed out at Citic after a court ruling on Thursday in his favour on the port, accusing the Chinese of having "occupied the port and shipped Australian resources to China without paying full consideration".

Lovely receptionist gave us all the details including the €7.40 ticket for 24 hours of travel in the ...
Nantes, no longer the Breton capital
... centuries when Nantes was the capital of the Dukes of Brittany. Given the souvenir shops selling all sorts of Breton goods it still seems to hold true that at least in spirit the city has links to the north west region of France that it once controlled.
The city is a big place, with around 280,000 people in the central area but around half a million living in the region and surrounding towns and villages. It is a ...
Timetables, but not as you know them!

Purpose of the Vaults
Legitimacy of Fallout Bible
Vault 13 Dweller's Pip-Boy
Vault technology as a resource
It bugs me that in Fallout 2, it's mentioned that Vault City was built by the Vault 8 dwellers who were lucky enough to be part of the "control" group for the experiment. Yeah, they had a G.E.C.K to terraform the nearby area, but otherwise they used supplies and technology from the Vault to build and maintain Vault City, one of the most high tech settlements in that game. And, also in Fallout 2, it's mentioned that no one wants to leave Vault 15 alone because it has valuable high-tech pre war goodies in it. So why, at least in Fallout 3, can't you go to some of the other Vaults and find advanced technology in them? I realize Vault 112 didn't exactly need much except something to power the Tranquility pods, and the rest of the Vaults, except 101 of course, have Gone Horribly Wrong (all according to plan) not long after sealing so I can understand that a lot of things have been damaged in those 200 years, but some things have to still be functional and able to use outside of the Vaults. Namely the Vault power generators, which are still keeping computer terminals and those eerie red lights on. Learning what makes said generators tick may at least help the settlements in finding better power sources of their own, and, at best, recreate smaller versions of the generators for themselves.

Here's what's bugged me throughout the entirety of Fallout 2 and 3. The Enclave are remnants of the pre-war U.S. government. They have the best technology and most members of any organization in the Fallout universe (well, close to the most numbers, though that's obviously not the case now). They have top of the line military training and weapons that will disintegrate Brotherhood Paladins in one hit. So why is it that time and again, they keep getting foiled by untrained civilians and factions they clearly should be curbstomping? The NCR in Fallout 2 didn't even have anything special about them, they were just a bunch of Vault dwellers who united some tribes and made a nation, the Enclave does not even have a plan for stopping post-war nations that don't even have power armor or plasma weapons in a straight up fight? And in Fallout 3, they get their asses kicked by the Brotherhood, which is especially odd since not only are they more numerous, better trained, and have better tech than this branch, but the Brotherhood was already stretching itself thin dealing with the super mutants! Seriously, it's a wonder these guys even got to their positions in the U.S. government.

More people will be able to vote if an online system is installed: IT professional
Bangalore: Many young professionals, especially those from the information technology industry, are unable to vote in the elections due to several reasons, the most common being their work schedules on the voting day. "A secure online voting system, approved by the Election Commission, can help more people exercise their franchise and take the voting percentage higher, benefiting democratic institutions," suggested young IT professional Ashish Anand.
It can be even through dedicated devices installed at secure government premises, banks, railway stations or post offices, and can be interoperable with the existing system of polling booths, he said. Legal opinion is that it does not require any fresh legislation or amendment to existing laws, and can be implemented under existing provisions of the Constitution, he said.
One big advantage of online voting could be that it can be linked to a fingerprint scanning system for "remote voters" to prove their identity and prevent proxy voting. This may involve storing fingerprints of all remote voters who wish to use this option and this can be indicated on the electoral rolls. "Even a partisan presiding officer in a polling booth cannot encourage or allow proxy voting as in the case of electronic voting machines that can be forcibly misused. Prospective voters, who opt for remote voting, are also likely to be people who don't always reside in a locality for reasons of work and a soft target for proxy voters," Mr. Anand pointed out.
The advantage of this remote voting system was that it might need only nominal investment as the infrastructure already existed and only needed to be adapted for this use, he said. Almost all district headquarters had Internet connectivity and State election offices were maintaining electoral rolls in centralised databases. The identity of those opting for online voting could be checked against this database. The links with banks, post offices or other remote voting centres would be the additional facility needed.
"Extended on a larger scale, this system can reduce expenditure on logistics, security and even reduce the number of polling booths at least in urban areas," he said.
Polling figures in most cities do not exceed an average of 55 to 60 per cent and is often much lower. Many from the higher income groups either do not bother to vote or do not enrol themselves as voters, and in the case of IT and ITES professionals, their work schedules may keep them away from polling booths on the election day. If a remote voting option is offered, such persons can also exercise their democratic rights, he said.

A Matrimonial Love Letter to San Francisco
Lauren and Zach wanted to pay homage to their shared love of the city with an old-world, San Francisco-themed wedding at City Hall.
The bride and groom arrived in a private trolley, while guests were seated according to a vintage map of San Francisco – each table named after a neighborhood meaningful to the couple. In keeping with the local theme, the food was seasonal California cuisine, served with wine from the first winery Lauren and Zach visited together.
After cutting a trompe l'oeil cake molded to match the seasonal flowers that filled the room, the couple moved to the rotunda, where guests danced the night away against a backdrop of amber light and the city's iconic scenery.

New Mexico faced potential budget issues for FY2011.[1] In March 2010, Gov. Richardson vetoed a proposed tax on food, but signed other tax increases that would provide about $170 million next year to help balance the budget.[2] Gov. Bill Richardson and legislators were relying on that money to avoid more spending cuts in the upcoming 2011 fiscal year.[1] Gov. Richardson said then that he thought the taxes would be sufficient to balance the budget, and he also planned on $20 million of federal funds stimulus funds to shore up the budget.[1] Lawmakers had criticized the Governor's reliance on one-time sources.[1]
FY2010 State Budget New Mexico faced a $454 million shortfall in building its FY 2010 budget during the regular 2009 Legislative Session. A $5.47 billion General Fund budget was passed by the New Mexico State Legislature and signed by Gov. Richardson, $538 million (9%) less than the FY 2009 General Fund budget. A complete breakdown of the FY 2010 budget that started July 1, 2009 includes:[3]
- $5.47 billion General Fund
- $2.71 billion Other State Funds
- $1.22 Internal Service/Interagency Transfers
- $5.55 billion Federal Funds
Total $14.96 billion
The New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee predicted 5% revenue growth for FY 2011 and 2012 allowing replacement of federal stimulus funds.[4]
State revenue estimates upon which the FY 2010 budget was based proved to be too optimistic, requiring the New Mexico Legislature to meet in a special session in October of 2009 to close a $653 million deficit.[5] The special session made 7.6% cuts in most state agencies on top of the 6.4% cuts already made during the regular 2009 Session.[6] Gov. Richardson had until Nov. 12 to take action on all bills passed by the Legislature during the special session, which includes $153 million in cuts in the state's Human Services Department that impact Medicaid.[7] Gov. Richardson proposed 3% across the board cuts and leaving education exempt before the special session convened October 17, 2009.[8] The current debt per capita is $1,398.[9]
FY2012 State Budget
- See also: Archived New Mexico state budgets
Legislative Proposed Budget
Lawmakers had sent the governor a blueprint for spending $5.4 billion next year on education and governmental programs, ranging from prisons and courts to health care for the poor. The measure cuts spending by $152 million, 2.7 percent, from FY2011. A bill capping film production rebates at $50 million a year freed up $23 million that went into the budget for schools, health care and public safety programs.[10]
Martinez had until early April to sign or veto bills passed during the Legislature's 60-day session, including budget bills.[10]
Lawmakers saved $111 million in the FY2012 budget by reducing government contributions to public employee pensions and also requiring state workers and educators to offset that by paying more into their retirement programs. The measure also allows the government to skip making higher contributions to an educational pension program that were mandated by a 2005 law.[10]
Governor's Proposed Budget
Governor Susana Martinez proposed a FY2012 state budget that reduced state spending by 3% and did not raise taxes.[11] The governor's proposed budget could be found online.[12]
The governor's proposed budget was based on estimates from December 2010 that the state's revenues would increase 4.4 percent from FY2011 to FY2012. The budget reduced administrative costs from education, which reduced the education budget by 5%, and cuts the state environment department.[11] It also cut the auditor's budget by 8.8%.[11] The proposed budget would also have the state contribute $39 million less to employee pensions in FY2012 and had employees contribute 2% more than they currently did. Teachers, however, would not have to make the additional contribution.[11]
The House approved its version of the budget, House Bill 2, on March 2, 2011, and it now heads to the Senate.[13]
The biggest different between the governor's proposed budget and that set forth by the Legislative Finance Committee was that the LFC suggested cutting the corrections by $11 million and Martinez's cut were less dramatic so as to avoid the early release of prisoners.[11]

Multi-Measure Budget Transparency Profile
The Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois created a multi-measure transparency profile for New Mexico, which measures state transparency as of September 2011 using indicators from a range of organizations. These indicators measure both website transparency and other recognized facets of governmental transparency. In addition, IGPA presents four unique indicators of non-transparency based on the observation that transfers or reassignments between general and special funds can obscure the true fiscal condition of a state.[17][18]
In addition to the individual state profile, IGPA offers a 50-state comparison and profiles for other states.[19][20]
Budget background
The New Mexico State Legislature convenes in regular sessions on the third Tuesday in January each year. The Legislature meets for 60 days in odd-numbered years and 30 days in even-numbered years.[21] The General Appropriations Act passed by the Legislature was effective upon being signed by the Governor. Other appropriations with emergency clauses require a two‐thirds majority vote. The Governor can veto selected lines and items in any bill carrying an appropriation.[22]
Accounting principles
The New Mexico State Auditor was required by New Mexico law to conduct annual financial audits of all government agencies. The State Auditor's Office administers a competitive process whereby audit firms may submit applications and proposals to perform financial audits of certain agencies. The Office of the New Mexico State Auditor was a constitutionally established office, allowing the State Auditor to serve two consecutive four year terms. Additionally, the Audit Act, §§ 12-6-1 to 12-6-14, NMSA 1978, provides the laws in which the State Auditor operates. Audit reports are not currently published online.[23]
The State Auditor has two statutory purposes:[24]
- Ensure that the financial affairs of every agency shall be thoroughly examined and audited each year by the state auditor, personnel of the State Auditor's Office designated by the State Auditor or independent auditors approved by the state auditor and
- Cause the financial affairs and transactions of an agency to be audited in whole or in part. Section 12-6-3, NMSA 1978. These two statutory purposes grant the State Auditor the authority to conduct both financial and special audits.
The Institute for Truth in Accounting (IFTA) rates New Mexico "Worst" in filing the state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) – The annual report of state and local governmental entities. IFTA rated 22 states timely, 22 states tardy, and 6 states as worst. IFTA did not consider New Mexico's CAFRs, and those of the other states, to be accurate representations of the state's financial condition because the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis did not include significant liabilities for the pension plans and for other post employment benefits, such as health care. New Mexico was "worst of the 6 worst" taking and average of 602 days to issue its CAFRs for FY 2005, 2006, and 2007.[25] New Mexico's CAFRs were prepared and published online by the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration, Financial Control Division.[26]
Credit Ratings
|Credit Rating
|New Mexico[27]
New Mexico received $2.52 billion in federal stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act between February 2009 and June 2013.[29]
Public Employees
According to 20 Census data, the state of Colorado and local governments in the state employed a total of 144,371 people.[30] Of those employees, 114.314 were full-time employees receiving a net pay of $415.5 million per month and 30,057 were part-time employees paid $30.6 million per month.

Laytoure B&B/gite
from £35 /night help
Gite | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 9
|Key Info
Laytoure is an Ariegeois farmhouse dating back to the 18th century, pleasantly situated in a tranquil rural area with rolling hills, sunflower fields and glimpses of the Pyrenees; situated only 8 km from the town of Pamiers which offers shops, restaurants and all amenities. We offer part of the house for B&B, or for longer stays you can rent the accommodation as a gite for a maximum of 6 adults and 3 children. It's completely private and separate from our own accommodation, but we are on hand to respond to any queries you may have. Our three bedrooms all have electric heaters and en suite shower rooms. They include a family suite of 2 adjoining bedrooms and shower room which can accommodate a couple and up to three children. Guests are welcome to use the plunge pool, gardens and outdoor furniture (may be shared if there are guests in the adjoining 2-person apartment).
Laytoure is an excellent base for exploring the Ariege; whist the region is comparatively unknown as a tourist destination, it has plenty to offer including picturesque towns and villages, Cathar castles and prehistoric sites. Activities such as horse riding, swimming, climbing, aerial walkways, kayaking and golf are available locally. It's a great area for walking and cycling, and the St Jacques de Compostella pilgrim route runs through our village. Further afield you can travel to Carcassonne, the high Pyrenees, Andorra and the Spanish border; an hour and a half's drive takes you to the Mediterranean.
To reach us you can fly to either Toulouse or Carcassonne airport, both are about an hour's drive away.
Open from Easter to 1st November.

The Midi-Pyrénées region
Our part of the Ariege has been compared to Tuscany, with its rolling landscape and sunflower and maize crops. The climate is sunny and warm compared to the higher Pyrenees, but you have frequent views of the mountains in the distance. The weather in July and August is usually hot, regularly reaching the 30s. This is the most popular season for visitors, and also the time when most towns and villages hold their fetes. May, June and September are better months for walking and cycling, and the warm weather usually continues well into October.
Laytoure is situated on the edge of St Victor Rouzaud, a small farming community. Any elevated spot gives you dramatic views of the Pyrenees. Our local town, Pamiers, 8 km away, provides all you could wish in the way of shops, restaurants and cafes. There are picturesque villages such as the bastide village of St Martin D'Oydes a short drive away. Half an hour's drive takes you to the medieval town of Mirepoix. The Tarascon area, about 40 minutes away, has a number of prehistoric caves which you can visit, of which the best is the Grotte de Niaux with its cave paintings. The Grotte du Mas d'Azil, an astonishing cave which you can drive through, also has important prehistoric remains and is only a short drive away. You can travel Europe's longest underground river at Labouiche. There are several lakes with beaches where you can swim nearby, including the Lac de Mondely and the lake at the artists' village of Carla Bayle. In the winter and early spring skiing in the Pyrenees is often possible, and the nearest ski stations of Les Monts d'Olmes and Ax-Bonsacre are only 45 minutes away. You can visit the city of Toulouse by train from Pamiers.

For those who aren't sick of hearing about her yet (I'm teetering), this is on tomorrow night:
She's obviously now gone mainstream - shame she isn't around to receive the accolades. I've teetered and fallen off the edge over the story not through her pictures which I still think are good. The internet makes everything so damn fleeting.
If I like a picture, I like a picture. It doesn't matter who took it. And if I like an artist I like an artist whether they've been overexposed on the internet or not.
My problem with Maier is I've never seen anyone say she accomplished anything extraordinary. To me it would seem her picture taking was a manifestation of some kind of mental disorder. If you walk around with a camera and take thousands upon thousands of pictures over the course of decades there are bound to be some winners. That is not the hallmark of a great artist. I do like the fact she documented a lot of mundane things. I like documenting things too. I wouldn't call a lot of what I do fine art though.
Vivian Maier's take on Egypt. Remember though. This was culled from THOUSANDS of negatives spanning decades. This was what was carefully chosen as one of the minority of images to be put in a portfolio on the site named after her.
I've been curious about she went about devloping these rolls back in the day. Must of been dirt cheap.

Plotting my EscapeIn case this hasn't been posted before, the gender ratios in China and India are topping 1.2:1 boys:girls and are only getting worse. An article from the Economist goes into more detail about what's pushing the urge to kill baby girls before and after pregnancy. An excerpt:
In its detailed and extensive investigative report, the magazine opens its article with chilling force. A baby girl is born in Chinas Shandong province. Chinese writer Xinran Xue, present for the birth, then hears a mans voice respond to the sight of the newborn baby girl. Useless thing, he cried in disappointment. The witness then heard a plop in the slops pail. To my absolute horror, I saw a tiny foot poking out of the pail. The midwife must have dropped that tiny baby alive into the slops pail! When she tried to intervene she was restrained by police. An older woman simply explained to her, Doing a baby girl is not a big thing around here. The number of dead and missing baby girls is astounding. In some Chinese provinces, there are more than 130 baby boys for every 100 baby girls. The culture places a premium value on sons, and girls are considered an economic drain. A Hindu saying conveys this prejudice: Raising a daughter is like watering your neighbors garden. Midwives even charge more for the birth of a baby boy. But the preference for a boy rises with both economic power and the number of children born to a couple. The imbalance of boys to girls is no accident it reflects a prejudice that runs throughout the societies where the abortion and killing of baby girls is considered both understandable and routine. Add to this the widespread availability of ultrasound imaging services. Even though the governments of China and India have officially declared sex-selection abortions to be illegal, they persist by the millions. (And, interestingly, the magazine notes that Sweden actually legalized sex-selection abortions in 2009.) This sentence from the investigative report is particularly horrifying: In one hospital in Punjab, in northern India, the only girls born after a round of ultrasound scans had been mistakenly identified as boys, or else had a male twin. The social consequences of this imbalance are vast and uncorrectable. China and India now face the reality of millions of young men and boys who have absolutely no hope of a wife and family. In China, these young men are called guanggun or broken branches. Just consider this the 30 to 40 million broken branches in China are about equal in number to the total number of all boys and young men in the United States. These young men represent a looming disaster on the societal level. Young males commit the greatest number of criminal acts and acts of violence. Marriage has been the great taming institution for the social development of young males. Without prospect for marriage and a normal sex and family life, these multiple millions of unmarried young men are becoming a significant social challenge in China and India. Some observers even argue that this may lead to an increased militarism in the region. Of course, the greatest disaster is personal for the young men and boys who face the future as broken branches. The parents who insist on having boys are dooming their own sons to lives of brokenness, frustration, and grief.

OMG NO NOSECONESSo, you'll eventually end up with millons and millions of young Chinese males who have no chance to marry. Soudns like a good source of cannon fodder. I think it's an outgrowth of their one-child limit. I'd imagine that eventually, grandparents will start dying off and the population will start to fall again, if it hasn't already peaked. Then they can either continue this stupid policy of one-child limits, or open it up to two children in order to sustain the population, which will correct (eventually) the gender disparity.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.
Well as the countries increase education, the problem will become mitigated but the process will take a long time. Also policing is a serious problem. A good 800 million Chinese live in rural areas with little or corrupt police presence without good oversight. So even if someone did commit a crime (which btw is punishable by death) there's nobody to do anything about it. Urban areas have the police coverage but urbanites rarely employ such an attitude about boys/girls since there's no difference between the two. Ironically, it was better under communism when the government guaranteed equal opportunities for women. But alas, way too many problems with communism that make it not worth it. EDIT: Well I wouldn't call their one-child policy stupid because it's basically China taking the hit for the rest of the world. I have no idea what to call it really.

Holiday surpriseI thought this thread would be about something along the lines of Frank Herbert's novel The White Plague. That said, this will eventually kill the population growth in China, some 30-40 years down the line.

"These days they have a stat for how many times a guy goes for a cup of coffee." -Mark McGwire
Well the infanticide happens in India as well, so I think it's more a function of lack of education and capitalism. They figure boys are worth more on the market than girls. It's idiotic. Previously in the agrarian areas, girls were just as useful as boys because everyone was an equal farm hand.
One child laws are a sensible method of slowing down the exponential rates of reproduction in the world. If every couple tries to "keep the population aloft", we'll soon run out of space; the elderly are getting older and not dying, as yet more children are born. A temporary limit of one-child-per-family, if it isn't rife with idiotic gendercide as mentioned above, is a good thing, as it means that the planet's population takes a temporary "lull" as the oldest generation ceases to live. If it becomes an issue (hint: it won't, for a while), repeal the law and reinstate when the population reaches a certain point. It's stable. -edit-

This is my first freestyle bike and i was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this bike. Only ridden it a couple times and so far and i love it. Haven't really done anything to the bike yet except for add a chain stay guard and slide my brake levers in a inch or so (i only use my pointer finger and it is more comfortable the further in i move them). Also one more question, has anyone here swapped brake levers to the opposite side of the bars? I ride motocross a lot and I'm use to having the front brake lever on my right hand side of the bars. Any help or input on the bike is appreciated. Thanks
Sorry for the crappy picture.

- Take some well-conditioned polymer clay and roll it out to about 1/4″ thick. Well-conditioned just means that it's nice and smooth and pliable, and not a dried out crumbly piece of garbage. You just have to squish it and squish it and squish it for a while to make that happen, but if you have a particularly bad case you can mix in a bit of petroleum jelly. Once it's rolled out, use a cookie cutter to cut a heart shape, just as if you were making sugar cookies. Once you use it on the clay, however, you won't want to use it on cookies again, so the dollar store is a great place to look for one.
- Cut a jagged line down the center of your heart and smooth out any rough edges.
- Poke a hole in the top of each piece so it can be worn as a necklace. A pencil works great for this job.
- I used letter stamps to put "Be Fri" on one piece and "St Ends" on the other, but you could also do that by hand with a dull pencil. Smooth out any stray marks.
- This step is optional, but I wanted to add a little glitter. So I used this stuff called Luster Dust and brushed it onto the clay like I was applying blush to my face. I love the cool opalescent shimmer this stuff adds. Bake the clay pieces according to the instructions on the package.
- Once the clay is baked and cooled, you can add some paint to the debossed letters to make them stand out. I rubbed a bit of acrylic paint over the letters, and then came back with a washcloth or a baby wipe to remove the excess paint. Use a light touch over the top of the letters so you don't just wipe all the paint away.
- With the paint dry you can add a ribbon and your necklace is ready to give away.

Within the last month, both William Ackman and Valeant had sent Allergan's board letters seeking to negotiate a takeover. But less than 15 minutes after an announcement that Actavis was buying Allergan, Valeant indicated it wouldn't top the bid.
Actavis PLC just handed Bill Ackman quite the consolation prize: $2.2 billion in paper profits.
Third Point would pay two potential Dow Chemical board nominees more if the firm's stock rises during their board tenure, adding to tension between Dow and the activist hedge fund.
