Fighters disguised as security officials have killed three Tunisian policemen and a civilian in an attack near the border with Algeria.
State news agency TAP said on Sunday that four gunmen dressed as Tunisian security officials killed the four and wounded two police and a border agent just after midnight.
The agency did not name any group in the attack, according to Reuters news agency. A statement from Tunisia's Interior Ministry said early on Sunday that fighters shot at a vehicle driving along a road in the northwest of the country near Jendouba, killing a prison official, a civilian and wounding two others, according to AP news agency.
The group then ambushed a patrol sent to investigate the attack, killing two members of the National Guard and wounding two others.
Tunisia's security forces have been battling fighters from the banned movement Ansar al-Sharia, whose leader has declared allegiance to al-Qaeda's North Africa wing.
The fighters stole weapons and a vehicle in d'Awled Manna, in northwest Jendouba province, TAP said.
Ansar al-Sharia was one of the most hardline groups to emerge after Tunisia's 2011 uprising against autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, whose government often jailed opposition leaders.Tunisia has continued its transition to democracy since the revolt, with a new constitution and elections scheduled for this year.
Earlier this month, police killed seven armed with suicide bomb vests and explosives in a raid north of the capital.
Ansar al-Sharia was blamed for storming the US embassy in Tunis in 2012.

So i talked to a guy earlier, he has a 06 trd sport access cab, he has 18" rims but he said the tire was metric but measured out to 32". I didnt know they made that size but i dont know alot about tires either. He also does not have a lift kit on it and said that he did not have any tire rub.
The reason im wondering is im looking for some 18's for my truck and i dont want to have to put a lift on but i want a beefier tire to "fill up" the rest of the wheel well so i dont have alot of space between rim/wheel/fender. Because i hate seeing 18's on prerunners with low pro tires they look gay.
So what size tire what be best for this situation?
Thanks guys.

Mother, son get 2 years for theftJanuary 29,2013
BURLINGTON A Vermont mother and son are going to prison for two years for their roles in embezzling more than a half a million dollars from a mobile home dealer in Colchester.
Gisele Adams of Winooski, the former bookkeeper at Braults Mobile Homes, and Joshua Therrien were sentenced Monday in a crime that they blamed on their addiction to opiod painkillers.
Adams is accused of writing checks to Therrien, and his girlfriend, Lynette Fuller, of Colchester, and other unauthorized payees, or making the checks out to cash.
Colchester police started investigating in October of 2011.
A former salesman for Braults, Patrick Cortright, of Milton, was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this month.

Last edited by KaraBulut; November 28th, 2012 at 05:30 PM. Reason: no underage imgs allowed on JUB- includes people in the background of the photo
I'm pretty sure that picture was taken during the much music video awards this year in Toronto
ok thanks for telling me
Hi all. I've been pretty busy this summer. Haven't had time to work on my blog or browse JUB until past week or so.
1st things first...
lotsa talented new blood in here (Lwoods, jjcreativ1, jake84, DirectionsFakes, PaxArt) and good to see some familiar and favorite artists still at it as well (demon48180, WCorkGalleryMan, WaffleCakes, Korybante, Flathead, AlexOnMyBed, Belfagor, DarthStephen, StrosselMunk, man91433, hard4danielradcliffe, DXXT01)
If I didn't mention you, don't feel bad. I may have overlooked your work because I didn't recognize or just may not have liked your subject. GOD I wish there was an inoculation for Bieber Fever. So tired of him and the other underfed twinks. If I did mention you, I liked your style, subject and/or execution. So rock on.
I run HeroesNHunks a blog about gay porn, pop culture and comics. In the past I've linked to Celebrity FAUXtoshop galleries I've posted. These galleries are collections of Photoshop Fakes I found here at JUB as well as at MANY other Fake collection sites. I try and keep track of who created what when I download from JUB and credit accordingly (usually "shouting out" the most prolific creators), but the other sites I collect from usually don't credit. So some are uncredited. My latest collection of fakes stars GLEE's resident Bad Boy Mark Salling A.K.A. Puck.
So with that said if interested and not personally offended (even though I credit, I often get flamed in here by some of the overzealous) or if you made a hot Mark Salling fake that has made the rounds (and you don't watermark or know that there is a cropped version w/o your mark circulating) please drop by to take a look and leave a comment if you recognize anyone's work be it your own or someone else's.
If you have a problem with collecting fakes EVEN when credited... sorry, but since this forum has no easy way to sort thru and look for images of specific stars (other than the HORRIBLY unhelpful forum search) I'm performing a valuable service. If you disagree, feel free to ignore me.

Avengers Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) have been given the job of recruiting new superheroes to join their team.
Captain America and Thor don't follow play by the rules and have their own ways of recruiting new members to join the Avengers. Thor says this process has existed for thousands of years, where men get bathed in cum by other men.
flathead: that Avengers job interview looks like fun. Keep 'em coming.
JustinBFakes: My eyes tend to glaze over solos of JB - I've seen more than enough - but that's a nice one.
Mark Salling Photoshop Fake gallery mentioned above has been updated with site links (that I'm aware of) if there is an image of your on the page AND you have a website leave a comment at the gallery and I'll add you to the "via" list at the bottom of gallery - check the list first - I did try to be thorough. I had outdated links for some and nothing for others. So clue me in. Also I am always interested in beefING up my "Male Celeb Fakers" section.

Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron or as Zac calls them "The Teen Dream Team", have been hanging out a lot.
They have been fucking around with each other. But Taylor Lautner is so horny and he wants a cock in his ass and a cock in his mouth, and they only want he could have that, is a threesome, so he invited Kellan and Zac over to his house, where they all took turns fucking each other all night.
Simon Cowell PLS PLS D;
Cj9730- Nice job on the Norman Reedus fake. The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows, how about you?
Flathead- I love your Avengers fakes, Always a good job.
(Not really... though if I ever get the chance!)
Yo flathead, lovin the 1D tent fuck scene...LOL....thats classic!
Gay Glee: After Ryder Lynch and Jake Puckerman watched the video of Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) fucking Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet), Ryder started to plan how he will have sex with Finn.
Ryder ask Finn to come to the locker room because he said Finn was the star quarterback, and he wants advice. After practising and working out together, Ryder gave Finn a massage on the massage table.
But Finn isn't stupid, he knew what was going on, and he just went along with it because since he recruited Ryder, he has wanted to tap that ass. And now is the perfect time.
Finn and Ryder fucked in the locker room, afterwards Finn told Ryder that the other Glee guys would be so jealous!

After a hot brotherly workout together, Chris Hemsworth forced his brother, Liam ,to the bench and pulled down his shorts so Liam could see and smell his sweaty ass and balls.
More at fantastiquefakes.blogspot.com! In fact, I have posts scheduled to appear every day until at least December 10th so keep checking back at my blog for more fakes.

Holy shit these are hot.
And thank you for the shoutout. It's nice that you like my work
flathead: I'm sure you're fed up with all this boring praise congratulating you on the great fakes, but I have to do it again: great stuff.
wcork: yummy Prince Harry; I have these disturbing fantasies about him and William getting together with Kate and Pippa. Oh dear, take him to the Tower, and off with his head!
fantastique: very nice Hemsworths. I'll add your blog to my favourites.

wow....lucky fucker gettin that fat montieth cock.....so hot dude
^point break
here's something different -- and it should be a fun project for one (or more) of the photoshop geniuses who contribute to this thread.
i would love to see an old/older george clooney having his way with a 20-something george clooney. just want to see the old stud teaching the younger stud a good, hard lesson.
here are some pics that may or may not work. i hope that one of you guys will take it on and have fun with it. and, if you like this idea, you could come up with complete sets, such as tom cruise, leo dicaprio, and others.
REALLY REALLY would like to see some of politicians. Romney, Schock, Ryan, etc. Im surprised I havent seen any/many of them before.
In the new movie Red Dawn, Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson run away to fuck in the jungle whilst their town gets invaded, but they are too horny to care that soldiers are parachuting them.
Would anybody be willing to do some of the guys in greetings from home? It's a web series you can find here aol.com/greetingsfromhome they are all pretty hot

New Left Review I/182, July-August 1990
Perry Anderson
A Culture in Contraflow—II
4. Aesthetics
A movement from modes of production to those of communication, which marks the historical anthropology of Jack Goody was, of course, also one of the central themes of the work of Raymond Williams. The parallels in the development of an original cultural materialism in the two bodies of writing are not a mere coincidence. For both thinkers started out under the joint influence of Leavis and the Marxism of the anti-fascist moment. Politically, it was perhaps the tension of this background which kept them from rejoining the ranks of British Communism after the war. Intellectually, it seems likely that it provided much of the impulse behind the eventual syntheses at which each arrived—whose affinities can be seen in their collaboration in a collective project on human communication. [58] Raymond Willams, ed., Contact: Human Communication and Its History, London 1981, pp. 7–20, 105–26. Logically enough, literary criticism had been the other refuge of the idea of a social totality within English culture, at a time when it was virtually everywhere else repressed. By 1968 it was already clear that this was the area from which had emerged—with The Long Revolution—a socialist theory able to measure itself against the overall forms of life in capitalist Britain. The next twenty years saw Raymond Williams become not only the most distinctive political thinker of the British Left, but the central figure in literary studies in the country at large. There is a paradox in any such description, because the whole force of Williams's work in this period was eventually to undo the very notion of 'literature' as a separate kind of writing. Literary criticism itself, in the traditional sense, formed in many ways the smallest part of his output: of his books after Drama from Ibsen to Brecht (1968), only The English Novel from Dickens to Lawrence (1970) really fits the term, though particular essays approximate it.

Beyonce Releases "I Was Here" Music Video for World Humanitarian Day
Beyonce, marking the official launch of "World Humanitarian Day," has teamed up with the United Nations for the release of her brand new "I Was Here" video.
Taped in front of a live audience at the U.N. General Assembly earlier this month, the music video for "I Was Here," a song, written by Diane Warren, from Beyonce's most recent album "4," features the singer dressed in a long, flowing, sparkling white dress in front of a huge screen projecting images of humanitarian efforts all over the world.
According to a video posted on the UN website and Beyonce's official site, World Humanitarian Day — which was officially observed Sunday (Aug 19) — is a "time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help others" and was "designated by the General Assembly to coincide with the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which killed 22 UN staff."

If its full name––Two Fat Guys Summerfield Ace Hardware––isn't a clue about this store's unconventional nature, maybe its pet shop is. Or perhaps that distinction belongs to its owners' related endeavor: not only do Rick and Smokey inspire ambitious homeowners with rows of home-improvement implements, but they also encourage handiness by taking to the airwaves with a weekly hardware radio show. Summerfield Ace Hardware also doubles as a U-Haul Center, and animals are welcome, especially if they're able to drive a U-Haul but also if they just want to sniff around the pet shop. Prepping for barbecue season is a cinch on these premises: in the words of Rick and Smokey, "With a name like the Two Fat Guys you might expect that we have a complete grilling center and we offer assembly and delivery." Salespeople are trained to answer nearly any home-improvement question their customers ask, and a wide selection of hardware, paint, plumbing, and electrical supplies shares space with gifts, home decor, and housewares.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.
PPG Porter Paints' team has dedicated 90 years to sprucing up homes with its revered brand of vivid, low-odor paints, stains, and primers. Multiple lines and sheens of interior paint offer to protect walls from presidential portraits painted in mustard ($25.79+/gal.). Eco-conscious shoppers can snag gallons of Pure Performance color, designed to thwart mold and mildew without angering Mother Nature's overprotective rottweiler ($33.39+/gal.). Peruse exterior paints if looking to prevent al fresco fortifications from cracking and peeling during super-soaker season ($25.79+/gal.). Effective on most surfaces, Porter's acrylic, synthetic, and alkyd Seal Grip primers also help house-wide paint jobs to stay put ($40+/gal.). Amicable staff members roam each locale's voluminous aisles and are eager to provide product recommendations for any home, office, or abandoned grain silo.
Ferguson Hardware has been helping do-it-yourselfers spruce up homes and beautify gardens for more than a century.

Another perfect, versatile pair of pants

- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have these in Espresso, size 6 (I am 5'6", 135), and they are super comfy. I have a tendency to rate clothing on a scale from 'Zero' to 'Can I climb in it?', and these max out the scale pretty well. The attention to feminine and functional detail is something that prAna does better than many of their competitors, and these knickers are no different. They come out of the wash like new, look great running errands or being casual at work, and are the perfect weight for heading up the canyon on the way home. Love these!

I completely agree with Jeni's comment on these. I love my pair and wear them all the time. They are super durable, and hold up to a day of climbing, no problem.

Love the validation to Jeni's comments. A must have!

Hello all,
I've had a bit of a look around and can't find many June/July/August marathons that grab my interest. Can anyone recommend anything (preferably in July/August) that's UK based and worth a run?
I know the summer's not the ideal time for them, which probably explains why there's so few!, but i'm keen to break up the year a bit
I think you've answered your own question, Davey! I assume you've tried searching in the events section?
If you're willing to go a bit further afield, there's the Tromso Midnight sun mara.

Innovus Pharmaceuticals To Acquire Ex-U.S. Rights To The Marketed Skin Cream CIRCUMserum(TM), For Enhancement Of Sexual Sensation In Men
LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Innovus Pharma"), www.innovuspharma.com , (OTCBB:INNV) today announced that it has signed a binding term sheet with Centric Research Institute ("CRI") for over $7.5 US million in upfront, milestones and sales royalty payments, in order to acquire global ex- U.S. rights to the proprietary U.S. marketed skin cream, CIRCUMserum™.
The skin cream, CIRCUMserum™ is a patent-pending new formulation of essential natural ingredients. The cream moisturizes the head of the penis, making the skin softer and more sensitive. In a use study by urologists in the US after the product was launched in 2012, 80% of regular users reported heightened sensations and greater sexual satisfaction.
"This product can make a difference in people's lives," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma. "Over time, the circumcised penis can become calloused, reducing sensitivity. CIRCUMserum™ restores that natural sensation, which helps both to achieve orgasm and to maintain erections."CIRCUMserum™ is expected to be especially effective in circumcised men, whose penises lose sensitivity over time without the protective foreskin, and in men with diabetes, who have a high incidence of erectile dysfunction because of neuropathy of the extremities. "Diabetic men are an important target population for us," said Damaj. "Although not currently needed to market the product and to follow up on the encouraging initial use study, we are planning for a larger, more controlled clinical study this year," Damaj added. "The larger trial will be designed to provide support for a claim for increased sensation and blood flow. "We are pleased with this partnership with Innovus Pharma and especially with Dr. Damaj who has an excellent track record of approving products in this area and an outstanding record of commercial partnerships with large pharma and distributors in the Middle East and North Africa where most of the target population exists," commented Dr. Albert Liu, CEO of CRI. "In addition, all of the product ingredients are listed by the Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), and since we are not making any drug claims, the product is not required to gain New Drug Application approval from the FDA."

Kei TakishimaComments10
this wiki
Kei is one of the main protagonists in the series. He is ranked 1st
in the entire school which is why he has the habit of calling Hikari
"Miss Rank 2". He is the son of the CEO of Takishima Corporation, making him next in line for the company. He is Hikari Hanazono's undefeated rival. Kei becomes Hikari's boyfriend and they become engaged later on, making Hikari his fiancée.
Kei has messily styled light brown hair that tends to hang in his face and calm brown eyes. As he is in the S.A program, he wears the standard S.A uniform: a white blazer with the S.A. logo near the pocket, pale blue shirt, black tie, and dark blue pants. During the warmer seasons, he, along with the other male S.A. members, wears a short sleeved white shirt with the S.A. logo on the sleeve and near the pocket, green striped tie, and green pants. Whenever he is challenged to a physical contest by Hikari he usually changes to a plain blue t-shirt and a pair of white pants. When he's not wearing his uniform, Kei's dress style is athletic and modern. At formal events, he wears a navy blue suit with a gray waist vest and light purple tie. When challenged to a physical event, he tends to rip off his tie.
Relationships'''Hikari HanazonoEditKei loves Hikari and is willing to do anything for her. He always tries to please Hikari in every way. At first, Hikari considered Kei as an arch rival/enemy, but it is seen that Kei has feelings for Hikari, which she fails to realize most times, making Kei irritated and confused. Despite this, Kei puts up with Hikari, knowing that he could never really be mad at her. For example, in episode 3, Kei ate Hikari's riceballs even though they were barely edible. In episode 22, Hikari kisses Kei on the forehead which shocks him but he says that he accepts her feelings for him. They've been together since childhood. Initially, Hikari proposes their engagement. In the final chapter, Kei proposes to Hikari with fireworks, though Hikari stated that if she didn't accept, he wouldn't win. She says that she will marry him the day she beats him. Hikari and Kei are seen as a future couple.
Yahiro is another one of Kei's childhood friends. Kei, along with Yahiro and Akira were all childhood friends when they were young because of their parents' jobs, although Yahiro wasn't as close to Kei as he was with Akira.
Aoi admires Kei despite being 3 years older than him. Kei and Aoi both have photographic memories and are "different" from others. Upon meeting Kei, Aoi dislikes his talent, but Kei tells him that they are "special." Since they are alike, Aoi eventually looks up to Kei and calls him "Master Kei." Aoi, along with Hikari, is part of the "After-School Takishima Club", a club of Kei's fans, although this is only featured in the manga.

String quartet
A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string players – two violin players, a violist and a cellist – or a piece written to be performed by such a group. The string quartet is one of the most prominent chamber ensembles in classical music, with most major composers, from the late 18th century onwards, writing string quartets. The string quartet rose to prominence with the work of Joseph Haydn[citation needed]. Ever since Haydn's day the string quartet has been prestigious and considered a true test of the composer's art[citation needed]. Quartet composition flourished in the Classical era, with Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert writing famous series of quartets. A slight slackening in the pace of quartet composition occurred in the 19th century.
The standard structure for a string quartet is four movements, with the 1st movement in Sonata form, Allegro, in the tonic key; 2nd movement is a slow movement, in the subdominant key; 3rd movement is a Minuet and Trio, in the tonic key; and the 4th movement is often in Rondo form or Sonata rondo form, in the tonic key.
Some quartets play together for many years in ensembles which may be named after the first violinist (e.g. the Takács Quartet), a composer (e.g. the Borodin Quartet) or a location (e.g. the Budapest Quartet). Well-known string quartets can be found in the list of string quartet ensembles.
The origins of the string quartet can be traced back to the Baroque trio sonata, in which two solo instruments performed with a continuo section consisting of a bass instrument (such as the cello) and keyboard. A very early example is a four-part sonata for string ensemble by Gregorio Allegri (1582–1652) that might be considered an important prototype string quartet.[citation needed] By the early 18th century, composers were often adding a third soloist; and moreover it became common to omit the keyboard part, letting the cello support the bass line alone. Thus when Alessandro Scarlatti wrote a set of six works entitled "Sonata à Quattro per due Violini, Violetta [viola], e Violoncello senza Cembalo" (Sonata for four instruments: two violins, viola, and cello without harpsichord), this was a natural evolution from existing tradition.[1]
Wyn Jones also suggests another possible source for the string quartet, namely the widespread practice of playing works written for string orchestra, such as divertimenti and serenades, with just four players, one to a part, there being no separate (fifth) contabasso part in string scoring before the 19th century.[2]
The string quartet rose to prominence with the work of Joseph Haydn[citation needed]. Haydn's own discovery of the quartet form appears to have arisen essentially by accident.[3] The young composer was working for Baron Carl von Joseph Edler von Fürnberg sometime around 1755-1757[4] at his country estate in Weinzierl, about fifty miles from Vienna. The Baron wanted to hear music, and the available players happened to be two violinists, a violist, and a cellist. Haydn's early biographer Georg August Griesinger tells the story thus:
The following purely chance circumstance had led him to try his luck at the composition of quartets. A Baron Fürnberg had a place in Weinzierl, several stages from Vienna, and he invited from time to time his pastor, his manager, Haydn, and Albrechtsberger (a brother of the celebrated contrapuntist Albrechtsberger) in order to have a little music. Fürnberg requested Haydn to compose something that could be performed by these four amateurs. Haydn, then eighteen years old,[5] took up this proposal, and so originated his first quartet which, immediately it appeared, received such general approval that Haydn took courage to work further in this form.[6]
Haydn went on to write nine other quartets around this time. These works were published as his Op. 1 and Op. 2; one quartet went unpublished, and some of the early "quartets" are actually symphonies missing their wind parts. They have five movements and take the form: fast movement, minuet and trio I, slow movement, minuet and trio II, and fast finale. As Finscher notes, they draw stylistically on the Austrian divertimento tradition.[3]
Haydn then ceased to write quartets for a number of years, but took up the genre again in 1769-1772 with the 18 quartets of Ops. 9, 17, and 20. These are written in a form that became established as standard both for Haydn and for other composers, namely four movements, consisting of a fast movement, a slow movement, a minuet and trio and a fast finale (see below).
Ever since Haydn's day the string quartet has been prestigious and considered a true test of the composer's art[citation needed]. This may be partly because the palette of sound is more restricted than with orchestral music, forcing the music to stand more on its own rather than relying on tonal color; or from the inherently contrapuntal tendency in music written for four equal instruments[citation needed].
Quartet composition flourished in the Classical era, with Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert writing famous series of quartets to set alongside Haydn's. A slight slackening in the pace of quartet composition occurred in the 19th century; here, composers often wrote only one quartet, perhaps to show that they could fully command this hallowed genre, although Antonín Dvořák wrote a series of 14. With the onset of the Modern era of classical music, the quartet returned to full popularity among composers[citation needed], and played a key role in the development of Arnold Schoenberg, Béla Bartók, and Dmitri Shostakovich especially. After WWII, some composers, such as Pierre Boulez and Olivier Messiaen questioned the relevance of the string quartet and avoided writing them[citation needed]. However, from the 1960s onwards, many composers have shown a renewed interest in the genre[citation needed].
String quartet traditional form[edit]
A composition for four players of stringed instruments may be in any form. Quartets written in the classical period usually have four movements with a large-scale structure similar to that of a symphony[citation needed]:
- 1st movement: Sonata form, Allegro, in the tonic key;
- 2nd movement: Slow, in the subdominant key;
- 3rd movement: Minuet and Trio, in the tonic key;
- 4th movement: Rondo form or Sonata rondo form, in the tonic key.
Substantial modifications to the typical structure were already achieved in Beethoven's later quartets, and despite some notable examples to the contrary, composers writing in the twentieth century increasingly abandoned this structure.[citation needed]
Variations of string quartet[edit]
Many other chamber groups can be seen as modifications of the string quartet: the string quintet is a string quartet with an extra viola, cello or double bass; the string trio has one violin, a viola, and a cello; the piano quintet is a string quartet with an added piano; the piano quartet is a string quartet with one of the violins replaced by a piano; and the clarinet quintet is a string quartet with an added clarinet. It is also possible to find compositions for String sextet and String octet.

Established quartets may undergo changes in membership whilst retaining their original name. Well-known string quartets can be found in the list of string quartet ensembles.

CorEnergy Releases Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
2012 Distributions
During the year ended Nov. 30, 2012, the Board of Directors declared total annual distributions of $0.44 per share ($0.11 per quarter). For the year ended Nov. 30, 2012, the Company's distributions for tax purposes were comprised of 100 percent return of capital.
2012 Private Company Update
The fair value of Lightfoot as of Nov. 30, 2012 decreased approximately $867,000, or approximately 9 percent, as compared to the valuation at Nov. 30, 2011, with the decrease driven primarily by leases for new storage capacity in Alabama being secured at a slower than expected pace. Lightfoot's assets consist of an 83.5 percent interest in Arc Terminals ("Arc") and a minority position in a Liquefied Natural Gas facility located in Mississippi.For its third quarter of 2012, Arc had sufficient distributable cash flow to pay a distribution, but instead retained cash for capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions. Arc continues to concentrate a majority of its capital expenditures on projects that increase revenue and reduce operating expenses. On Feb. 8, 2013 Arc announced the acquisition of marine terminals and rail car unloading facilities from Gulf Coast Asphalt Company. The fair value of VantaCore as of Nov. 30, 2012 increased $4.4 million, or approximately 66 percent, as compared to the fair value at Nov. 30, 2011. The increase is attributable to VantaCore's continued improved performance, mostly driven by the incremental results of Laurel Aggregates, as well as the success of its cost cutting initiatives and the price increases that have gone into effect. VantaCore was again unable to meet its minimum quarterly distribution in cash for its quarter ended September 30, 2012. Therefore, the common and preferred unit holders elected to receive their distributions as a combination of $0.26 per unit in cash and the remainder in preferred units. The Company received approximately $316,000 in cash and 14,000 additional preferred units during the three month period ended Nov. 30, 2012.

Jennifer L. Pauley, 33, of East Moline, Ill., charged with identity theft, wire fraud, deceptive practices and forgery. Authorities say she lied about having cancer, even creating fake medical records, to swindle her boyfriend. | AP Photo
EAST MOLINE, Ill. — A Quad Cities woman is facing charges after authorities say she lied about having cancer — even creating fake medical records — to swindle her boyfriend.
The Moline Dispatch reports Jennifer L. Pauley is set to have a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old is being held on $140,000 bond in the Rock Island County Jail after being charged with identity theft, wire fraud, deceptive practices and forgery.
East Moline Police Lt. Darren Gault says Pauley created fake medical records and forged the signatures of area oncologists. She used her boyfriend's personal information to open lines of credit and write checks under his name.
He says she never had cancer and used the money to support a drug habit.
Police are still tabulating how much money was stolen.

"He flirted with you," Vastra explains.
"How?" Clara replies.
"He looked young! Who do you think that was for?"
The idea of the Doctor "flirting" with the universe, hoping to be accepted by means of looking like someone's "dashing young gentleman friend," is a poignant one. Yes, it's ageist, but the Doctor does spend an awful lot of time on Earth, where, even in the 21st Century, ageism is, in fact, a thing. It also brings to mind a similar post-regeneration episode: "The Christmas Invasion," David Tennant's first full turn as the Tenth Doctor after he'd regenerated from Christopher Eccleston's Ninth. Aside from spending a good chunk of their respective debuts in borrowed bedclothes, both Ten and Twelve go through a very rough regeneration that involves a lot of sleeping, some erratic behavior, and two seriously freaked-out incumbent companions.
In a way, those two regenerations mirror each other. The Ninth Doctor fell in love with Rose Tyler, but he appeared much older than the 19-year-old Rose. So he got younger—and the Tenth Doctor and Rose became more obviously a couple. Perhaps the Doctor missed that feeling, which would at least partially explain his infatuation with Clara. And then, with several hundred years to sit around and think about it (wow, yep, still hate pretty much everything about that Trenzalore storyline...), he realized (again) that he just can't have that kind of a relationship with a human being. So he got older, providing Clara with an implicit statement he later made explicit.
"I'm not your boyfriend," he says near the end of the episode.
"I never thought you were," she replies.
"I never said it was your mistake."
Despite the slower pace, "Deep Breath" still throws a lot of stuff at the viewer, much of it top-notch. The Doctor and Clara realizing that they're the only living people in the restaurant delivers a powerful jolt of Lovecraftian body-horror. Clara's effort to escape the droids by holding her breath is deliciously tense. The Doctor riffing on his "attack eyebrows" works for a chuckle. The Scottish jokes stop just short of being too much. And Vastra and Jenny finally share a kiss. Well, sort of.
Other points are ham-handed, warmed-over, and/or plot-holey. The dinosaur is a metaphor for the Doctor, as is the clockwork droid, as was the Starwhale from "The Beast Below," as was the minotaur from "The God Complex," etc. And just how did those droids get the optic nerve out of the dinosaur before they set it on fire? It was in the middle of the Thames, with crowds gawking at it, the whole time. Since the Doctor speaks dinosaur, he should have heard the T-rex shouting, "Hey, there's a rubbish robot on top of my head with a really big set of tweezers!" (Man, being a dinosaur in the Whoniverse these days is like being a point-of-view character in a George R.R. Martin prologue. Poor Tricey.)
Which brings us to the bit where Clara accidentally hits the Doctor in the crotch with his own screwdriver. The Doctor's response? "Oh, the symbolism."
Look, in another context, Peter Capaldi can growl at a female character, "Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up the shitter with a lubricated horse cock," and it's hilarious. The Doctor calling a woman a ball buster? That's not funny, it's cringe-worthy, and in an unnecessarily gendered way.
Mostly, though, Capaldi is as brilliant in the role as everyone expected. In a progression that feels intentional, his early scenes are more Smith-like—frenetic, bombastic declarations, often directed at CGI up high. The death of the dinosaur marks a turning point to a more measured—sometimes malevolent—performance. Speaking of In the Loop, Capaldi gets his teeth into something akin to this scene, in which he matches menace with the late James Gandolfini. But as he tries to send the clockwork droid to its doom (one way or the other), he isn't nearly as frightening as when he utters these four words to a hapless tramp:
"Give me your coat."
The lack of inflection on that line made me shudder. Many of his predecessors have done truly terrifying things, but with those four words, he might have become the scariest Doctor ever.
I'm not exactly sure how to feel about the coda, which, after all this "no flirting" business, features a very campy female character—much closer in apparent age to the Twelfth Doctor than Clara is—who refers to the Doctor as her boyfriend. Hmm. I have a theory about "Missy" and "the Promised Land." And, for all the problems I've had with the show the past couple of seasons, there's enough interesting material in "Deep Breath"—including the potential for a Ten/Donna Noble type of friendship between Twelve and Clara—to keep me hanging around to see if my theory proves correct.

DAHMW creates virtual support group
For the first time ever, male survivors of domestic abuse will now be offered a peer led, 12-week support group online, making support available from the comforts of home.
Since 2000 the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (DAHMW) has been offering support services to abuse survivors through its nationally available toll-free helpline. This year DAHMW will offer a virtual support group to male victims of abusive women. Participants will use virtual cameras to attend online meeting groups at a given time every week for 12 weeks.
"Over the years we have received numerous requests for this type of service from our male helpline callers," said Jan Brown director and founder of DAHMW. "We are thrilled to be one of the first to offer this vital and needed service to male survivors of domestic abuse."
This support group will give participants an opportunity to understand the effects of abuse on themselves and their children, explore what healthy intimate relationships look like, and help them to achieve personal growth in all areas of their life.
Currently the virtual support group is designed for male victims who have been in an abusive relationship with a female partner. To participate in the online support group, victims must be removed from the abusive partner for at least a month. Participants must have access to a computer and high-speed Internet service. DAHMW will supply the camera.
To find out more about this program, please contact DAHMW via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 207.683.5758.
Thanks for sharing...
Ah, well, at least all sides are making progress... That's good.

All jobs in different places are different
Best advice is to turn up, try and do your best at whatever's asked of you even if its way below your abilitiy or way above you ability.
Some techs at some schools are treated like outside contractors and some techs at some schools are treated like close famiily.
Remember that the teachers are in a high pressure job and just want/need things doing at very little notice - try to do it (at least in 1st week)
PS Good Luck- we are here (nearly 24/7)

First, the Thumbs Up:RE said that our embryos looked perfect with no fragmentation. He was glad to see them growing nicely and he was happy to put them both back with no problems. We had a great retrieval (minus the empty follicles) and a great transfer. The embryos were picture perfect. My FSH level at the beginning of my cycle was a 7. All of my estrogen and progesterone checks and LH checks were perfect. Right on target.
Next, the Thumbs Down:
He said that he believes that we must have had a problem with implantation. He is looking at us the same way he would look at someone who has had a pregnancy loss. A recurrent pregnancy loss. I was all like, back the fuck up! We've never been pregnant at all! Apparently, our RE looks at our two healthy embroys that did not attach and says there was no reason for them not to turn into babies......therefore we had a pregnancy loss. Huh.Therefore, as someone who apparently has recurrent pregnancy loss, we are now advised to have every blood test under the sun. He wrote out 3 slips full of blood tests. I asked him how many vials that would be, and he said "a bunch." As someone who faints when getting her blood drawn, I was advised to lay down for this one. I'm having trouble reading his "doctor handwriting" on the slips, but I will list what I believe to be the tests below. Our blood testing will be the following
So yeah, a SHITLOAD of blood testing. He wants to know if I have blood clotting disorder or anything else that might be getting in the way of IVF working. On top of that, he wants to know if we have chromosomal translocation issues which is why we are having karyotype testing for the both of us. On top of all of that, I am also getting the blood glucose screening to check for insulen problems or PCOS issues (although he is fairly certain that I don't have PCOS).
Holy shit.
So I asked him, what happens if I have a blood clotting disorder? He told me that I might need to go on heparin injections. From the blogs I've read before, I have a slight knowledge of this.
I asked him, what happens if we have chromosomal problems? He told me that we might need to look into donor sperm or eggs but he didn't really go into this, I think, for fear of scaring us too much. He showed us a diagram of chromosomes splitting and I walked away from the meeting with a vague elementary idea of what he was talking about. This sounds like something pretty major.
He told me that he'd like me to do DHEA next time. I was glad for this, because I wanted to take it anyways. I read a blog by Jason and Amber and she just got pregnant from her IVF that included this. DH laughed at me taking DHEA because Mark McQuire took that. I asked the RE about side effects and he said I might get oily skin. I was afraid I'd look like Mark McQuire from taking it. I'm trying to lose weight, not gain it.
He told me that with the DHEA, usually poor responders will do better. If I produce more eggs, he wants to transfer more embryos back. DH was glad about this because he wants to transfer at least 3 embryos back for the next IVF. The RE recommended that we transfer at least 3. I was really surprised by that, because usually RE's don't like transferring more than 2. I told the RE that I would be OKAY with triplets, because this is our last insurance covered IVF. The RE told me that triplets usually occur with women that have had more than one IVF already. Good. Thumbs up.
The RE thinks that I responded poorly, had empty follicles, whatever, because of my body's response to the protocol. He DOES NOT THINK I have PCOS, endometriosis, or poor ovarian reserve. (Which is a relief, but also scary because we still don't know what's wrong with me.) He does not recommend that I go on Menopur again (THANK GOD). He says I will more than likely be on Antagonist Protocol and be taking Follistim again. I was glad to hear that because I think being on pure Menopur fucked me up. It seems like when I was on Follistim before, I had a pretty good response.
I asked about the possibility of my thyroid being the root cause of all of this. He seems to think we are ok on thyroid because I got a blood test a few months back, so we have current info. I will more than likely PUSH for more testing while I am stimming next time to make sure my thyroid is staying in check.
I asked about the need for a laparoscopy. He told met that he does not think I have endometriosis but isn't sure until he can get a look inside (obviously). He told me to check with my insurance to see if laparoscopy is covered, and if it is covered under my infertility coverage. If we can get a laparoscopy without it taking money out of my lifetime infertility coverage, then we should go ahead and do it. If it takes money out of our coverage, we probably shouldn't because (like I said before) we have enough for one more IVF but not if we spend it all beforehand. So, I will be calling Anthem to see what's up and possibly scheduling one for summer break. We will see.
And so it is. DH and I have been sitting and processing it all. It sounds like, to me, that my RE is being proactive about getting down to the root of the problem instead of jumping in head first into an empty pool. It seems to me like he wants to check for everything before we begin again. I didn't even tell him we wanted to try again in October before he started running off the list of tests he wants to do. That shows me he wants this to work for us. (My old RE would have let us run out of money before he changed his protocol.) Our RE said he felt sure we would have ended up pregnant after our first IVF, but since we didn't, he wants to make sure that I am on the right meds for me. The meds I was on obviously weren't the right ones for my body, blah blah blah.j
I have another appointment scheduled with another RE, but I am thinking I will cancel it. I feel confident that our RE we have now is doing everything in his power to help us. I trust him and I like it that he is open to any ideas we want to throw at him. I like it that if I have a question, I can email him and get a quick response. I don't know many doctors that are that open and caring. I think we will stick with this one. He didn't charge us for our WTF appointment, which was also nice I thought.
So in the next couple of weeks, I will go in for my giant blood draw and glucose testing. Half the blood will be drained from my body and we will check for every factor under the sun. I am sure that these tests will run a nice fat pricetag. I want to be confident that we are going into our next and possibly last IVF with our heads on straight.
***********Now, I know nothing about blood clotting disorders, DHEA, chromosomal translocation, or Antagonist protocols. If you can, please leave me a comment in the comments section and let me know if you have any any experience with any of these. Is there hope for me yet? I'd like to know ahead of time what I'm getting into.
