Two Teens Arrested After Feeding Two Dogs A Live CatDecember 11, 2014 at 10:19 am by Morbid
BAKERSFIELD, CA – Two teens in California have been arrested after video surfaced of them feeding two dogs a live cat.
Earlier this month, someone tipped off County Animal Control that they had received a video on a social networking site that showed two teens feeding a cat to two large dogs while the teens could be heard in the background encouraging the dogs.
Animal Control staff reviewed the video, which was recorded over the summer, and then contacted the Kern County Sheriff's Office to request an investigation. Detectives were eventually able to identify the teen who posted the video online, then later identify the two teens in the video – a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old boy.
Both teens were arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall. They are now facing animal cruelty charges. Police are asking that anyone with any further information on this case to call the Sheriff's Office at 661-861-3110, or Secret Witness at 661-322-4040.
I've said it before, but I am so glad that we did not have the ability to easily record stupid shit we did as teenagers.…
Jonnie Boggess Accused Of Having 'Gentle Sexual Intercourse' With PigletOctober 28, 2014 at 11:42 am by Morbid
MIAMI, WV – Police have arrested Jonnie Boggess after they say the 47-year-old had sex with his beagle-mix, Piglet.
I'm not entirely sure how an animal rights group found out Boggess was allegedly having sex with his dog, but they contacted State Police in Quincy once they did.
According to the complaint, when Boggess was interviewed he admitted to them that he had been drinking in bed with Piglet before he had "gentle sexual intercourse" with Piglet.
After he had sex with Piglet, he said he held her, petted her, and told her that he loved her. He also told police the sex was ok for a couple of reasons: one, Piglet weighs over 40 pounds and two, Piglet had been spayed.
He would later state he wished he'd not had sex with the dog and that his girlfriend told him she heard Piglet yelping but Boggess ensured police he had not hurt Piglet.
Boggess was arrested and charged with animal cruelty. His bond, $5,000, was paid for by someone shortly after it was set.…
Man Arrested For Making Sweet, Sweet Love To Toy Horse At WalmartOctober 16, 2014 at 3:13 pm by Jaded
Brooksville, FL — A 19-year-old weirdo is facing charges of criminal mischief and indecent exposure after police say he violated a stuffed animal in the bedding department of a Brooksville Walmart.
According to police, Sean Johnson was captured acting all suspicious and stuff on surveillance video Tuesday afternoon. In said video, Johnson is apparently seen approaching the innocent plush toy in the clearance section somewhere near the garden department. He was then seen carrying his new found love to the bedding department.
It was there, police say, that Johnson got busy.
In the surveillance video, Johnson is seen exposing his Johnson and humping the horse — utilizing short, fast movements. When finished, Johnson reportedly shot his load on the horse's chest. Sated, Johnson placed the stuffed animal on top of a comforter set and exited the store.
I have to assume security personnel were rolling on the floor laughing, while vomiting, maybe, and that's why they failed to apprehend the plushie fucker before he was able to make it out of the store.…
Vicente And Dorma Ridon Get Life Behind Bars For Animal Cruelty VideosSeptember 29, 2014 at 9:54 am by Morbid
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Vicente Ridon and his wife, Dorma, have been sentenced to life behind bars after being found guilty of crimes related to the production of animal cruelty videos.
Two years ago, someone stumbled across videos of young girls torturing animals. For those of you who are unaware of these types of videos, let me ruin your morning a bit.
The videos this person found are called crush videos, and are created for people who get aroused by watching women crush things with their feet.
The videos often include women simply stepping on food or insects, but can also include women stepping on live animals like kittens, puppies, mice, reptiles, etc.
The videos the Ridons manufactured included crush-type scenes, but they also ramped up the animal abuse to horrific levels while forcing a 12-year-old girl to participate.
Their videos featured:
- a dog getting skinned alive
- rabbits flailing and screaming as their ears were cut off and as they were set on fire
- a dog getting burned with a flat iron
- a monkey and several dogs getting hit in the eyes with the sharp end of a stiletto heel
- puppies getting crushed until they vomited their own internal organs
If you want to get a taste of just how heinous these videos are, then watch the following news report.…
Ryan Watenpaugh Accused Of Feeding Girlfriend Her Own DogSeptember 15, 2014 at 9:49 am by Morbid
REDDING, CA – Ryan Watenpaugh is facing charges of stalking and animal cruelty after being accused of killing his ex-girlfriend's dog, cooking it and then feeding it to her.
Watenpaugh's ex-girlfriend contacted police earlier this month to report she was being stalked by her physically abusive ex-boyfriend, 34-year-old Ryan Watenpaugh.
She informed them that she dated Watenpaugh for only a few months, but in that time he'd physically assaulted her numerous times. On two occasions, she'd been held against her will whenever she tried to get away from him.
In early August 4, the couple split up after she ran from her apartment during one of Watenpaugh's episodes, only to return later to find he was not there, nor was her Pomeranian named Bear.
About a month later, they reconciled long enough for Watenpaugh to cook her a dinner. Days later, she says Watenpaugh sent her a text messages referencing the dinner he'd cooked for her and asking her how her dog tasted.
"How's your dog taste? I thought it was better with BBQ and those Hawaiian buns."
"I guess u could bury what u didn't eat."
"The smile on my face when you read this … priceless," read some of the texts.…

NEWNAN, GA – People inside a Georgia Petsmart for a Sunday afternoon pet adoption event were treated to a man repeatedly stabbing a pit bull after it attacked his dog inside the store.
According to reports, a volunteer with the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society was walking a pit bull named Clara when Clara managed to get off her leash and attack a Westie Terrier. Depending on who is telling the story, Clara was simply pulling on the other dog's ear or had gotten the smaller dog by the neck.
Regardless, the Westie's owner, Craig Emory, stepped in and began stabbing Clara repeatedly with a pocket knife in front of dozens of families inside of the store.
"It is the worst thing I've ever seen," said Teresa Reeves, who was was there with her fiance and her 10-year-old daughter. "We heard screaming at the front of the store and went running to see what was happening. The pit bull had the smaller dog at the back of the neck holding the loose skin and fur there," said Reeves.…
Des Hague, CEO For Centerplate, Caught On Video Abusing PuppyAugust 27, 2014 at 1:11 pm by Morbid
Vancouver – An elevator camera captured Des Hague, the CEO for Centerplate, repeatedly kicking a doberman puppy and yanking it up by its leash.
The video was released last week after someone sent it to the BC SPCA. The surveillance video was from inside an elevator of the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia in downtown Vancouver.
The footage showed a man, later identified as Hague, kicking a puppy several times in the stomach as it cowers on the floor before hauling the dog out by its leash.
Centerplate is a $6 billion dollar business that employs 30,000 people. The company supplies snacks for sports and entertainment arenas around the country, including Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, the Superdome in New Orleans, the new Levi's Stadium in San Francisco and Notre Dame.
So as you can imagine, when this video was released to the public and quickly went viral, damage control went into full effect – especially after some sports fans said they would not be buying any food supplied by the company.…
Briceson Moore Admits Beating Girlfriend's Puppy To Death With Dog ToyAugust 22, 2014 at 4:14 pm by Morbid
SAVANNAH, GA – Briceson Moore is facing an aggravated animal cruelty charge after he admitted to using a dog toy to beat his girlfriend's puppy to death.
Police say that last month, Moore beat his girlfriend's nine-month old fox terrier to death with a "pole type" dog toy. He then took the dead dog to Forsyth Park Animal Hospital, where the vet took note of Moore's odd behavior.
"Once the dog started to set in with rigor mortis the vet wrote that Briceson started grabbing his legs and making him like he was running while he was dead on a table," said a SCMPD detective.
Officers say Moore eventually confessed to beating the dog and described how he did it.
"He hit the dog three times on each side, at least three times on each side with its own dog toy; it was a pole type dog toy and he said he didn't want it to suffer so when it started bleeding from its nose he gave it a hard head shot," said a detective.…
Shari Walters Allegedly Poisoned Roommates After She Was Caught Having Sex With DogAugust 16, 2014 at 4:33 am by Jaded
Albuquerque, NM — This lovely lass is facing multiple charges for allegedly poisoning her roommates' food shortly after they learned she was shaggin' their shepherds.
Shari Walters, 53, was charged Thursday with aggravated battery, cruelty or extreme cruelty to animals, and assault with intent to commit a violent felony.
According to the criminal complaint, one of Walters' roommates called police a couple weeks ago to report she had been poisoned.
In the complaint, Walters' roommate, Beverly Bradley, stated to police that she had witnessed Walters having sex with her German Shepherd, Spike, in a shed on the property. She was shocked, she told police, and returned to the house to wait for Walters.
When Walters walked into the home, she didn't even try and deny that she had been screwing the pooch. Instead, she admitted to Beverly that she copulated with her dog. Multiple times. Furthermore, she also admitted she had been fucking dogs since she was 14. Hell, she even fucked her boyfriend's German Shepherd, Jake. Multiple times.…
James Myers Accused Of Choking Kitten, Injecting It With HeroinAugust 8, 2014 at 7:47 pm by Morbid
WEST WHITELAND TOWNSHIP, PA – Police have charged 24-year-old James Myers with cruelty to animals after he allegedly injected a kitten with heroin, choked it with a rope and slammed it to the ground.
Around 5 a.m. Sunday, a patrolling police officer noticed Myers parked in the middle of the street with his car door open. Under the door was a black kitten with a rope wrapped tightly around its neck. The kitten was lethargic, bleeding from the face and had some teeth missing.
A search of Myers car yielded bundles of heroin, hundreds of used bags of heroin, hypodermic needles, rope that matched the one wrapped around the kitten's neck and a small box of cat shit.
The 8-week-old kitten was taken to a vet suffering from head trauma, where it was determined that the kitten had been injected with heroin. Dr. Jennifer Magilton first thought the kitten would need to be euthanized, but she first tried giving it some Narcan, a heroin antidote.
The kitten, now named Hope, immediately improved and is now expected to make a full recovery.…
Man Accused Of Assaulting Girlfriend, RaccoonAugust 4, 2014 at 4:37 am by Jaded
Ballard, UT — After his current girlfriend accused him of calling her by his ex-wife's name, David Tapia, 41, apparently pitched a fit and assaulted the woman and her pet raccoon.
The victim, upset over the slip, started arguing with Tapia. The argument escalated, at which point Tapia allegedly grabbed the woman by the arms and threw her into a wall in the home they shared.
At some point during the commotion, the woman's pet raccoon hissed at Tapia, and he reportedly responded by grabbing the critter by its collar and tossing it into another room, where it hit a wall.
And that, my friends, is why I call all of my men "babe." No confusion, no slips. Ever.
The woman was eventually able to leave the home, went to her ex-husband's motor home and was taken to the emergency room. She later told police she had suffered at least two broken ribs. No word on the condition of the raccoon, though.
Tapia was arrested July 21 and booked into the Uintah County Jail on charges of assault and animal cruelty.…
Salvador Martinez Killed Girlfriend's Puppy, Marinated Corpse In Italian DressingJuly 31, 2014 at 12:33 pm by Morbid
EDGEWOOD, NM – Salvador Martinez has been accused of stabbing his girlfriend's 9-month-old puppy to death with a screwdriver, then skinning the dog and marinating it in Italian dressing.
Torrance County deputies responded to the man's home after receiving a call regarding the 46-year-old's odd behavior. When they arrived, a woman told them that Martinez had killed the family dog, a 9-month-old black-and-white chiweenie named Onyx.
But that's not all he did. After stabbing the dog to death with a screwdriver, he skinned and cut up the puppy before storing the meat in the fridge in an Italian dressing marinade.
Afterwards, he went online to search for dog meat recipes (I find wedding style dog stew to be quite tasty) and to check if eating dog was illegal in New Mexico.
Martinez freely admitted to deputies what he'd done, claiming the couple didn't have enough food for themselves and the grandkids that lived there. This claim was denied by his girlfriend, who told investigators there was plenty of food in the house.…
Man Beat His Two Cats To Death With Golf Club Because They Betrayed HimJuly 23, 2014 at 1:00 pm by Morbid
ERIE, PA – Christopher Bisbee pleaded guilty Monday to beating his two cats to death with a golf club after one of the cats betrayed his trust.
Acting on a tip last June, Humane Society Animal Enforcement Officer Merle Wolfgang responded to Bisbee's residence after someone there found the cats' bodies in a trash can with "apparent trauma to their heads."
Several people at the residence told Wolfgang that Bisbee, 32, was the person responsible. When interviewed, Bisbee admitted to killing the animals.
According to court records, Bisbee felt "betrayed" by the animals after one of them scratched him, so he responded by retrieving a golf club and using it to bash their brains in.
Investigators said Bisbee told them he "struck both cats numerous times with a golf club until they no longer were moving."
Bisbee was charged with two counts of animal cruelty, but pleaded guilty to one second-degree misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals. The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.…
Jason Brown Accused Of Adopting Dogs, Dismembering Them In Motel RoomJuly 16, 2014 at 10:35 am by Morbid
RENO, NV – Police have charged 24-year-old Jason Brown with multiple counts of animal cruelty after they say he adopted five dogs only to kill and dismember them in his motel room.
Brown was arrested on July 9 after a manager of a Super 8 Motel called police to report some gruesome shit going down inside Brown's motel room.
He told them that a maid went in the room to clean it, and found bloodstains, dog limbs, drugs and drug paraphernalia inside. The manager told police the maid contacted him, and he found a decapitated brown dog in the room's bathtub.
While the manager waited for police to arrive, Brown returned but then fled before police got there. Arriving police would check out the room and found four decapitated dog heads inside a small refrigerator.
Two of the dogs were named Fernell and McGee, two Chihuahua mixes given to Brown by someone who used Craigslist to place the dogs up for adoption because they could no longer care for them.…
Douchebag Accused Of Punching Girlfriend's Bunny After She Dumps HimJuly 7, 2014 at 5:04 am by Jaded
Boynton Beach, FL — This pudgy bitch was arrested for allegedly throwing his girlfriend across a room and violently attacking her pet rabbit after the woman ended their relationship.
It all started with an argument about women's rights….
Police say that mid-argument, the victim retreated to her bedroom in an attempt to end the fighting. The alleged douchebag, 28-year-old James Wertz, continued to scream and whine, so the woman told him it was over.
A short time later, police say, the woman heard a high pitched screaming coming from the living room. She told police she walked out to find Wertz squeezing and punching her rabbit. He was hitting it so hard, she said, blood was pouring from its face. And that's about the time I would've rearranged his stupid fucking Mr. Potato Head face…
She intervened, pushing Wertz away. When he tried to apologize, she said, she kicked him and reached for the phone to call 911. Wertz responded by throwing her across the room and storming out of the apartment.…
Police Officer Jeffrey Bolger Accused Of Slashing Throat Of Restrained DogJune 19, 2014 at 12:07 pm by Morbid
BALTIMORE, MD – Baltimore police officer Jeffrey Bolger has been charged with felony animal cruelty after he slit the throat of a dog that had escaped from home, authorities said.
Nala, a 7-year-old Chinese Shar-Pei, went missing from her home on Saturday. Her owner, Sarah Gossard, had let the dog out of the house but didn't notice the gate was open. After realizing Nala had gotten out, she spent the entire day looking for her.
Later that same day, a woman found Nala and was attempting to read the tags on the dog's collar, which contained Sarah's phone number, when Nala nipped at her hand. The woman was not seriously injured, but called police to report a stray dog.
When officers arrived, Nala was restrained using a dog pole around her neck. That's when Bolger went full white knight and used a knife to slit the dog's throat. According to witnesses, the 20 year veteran of the Baltimore police yelled, "I am going to fucking gut this thing," before doing so.…
Man Accused Of Starving Dog In Attempt To Reconcile With Ex-GirlfriendMay 16, 2014 at 3:12 am by Jaded
Phoenix, AZ — The jackass pictured to the left is 38-year-old Luis Moreno. This fuck is accused of starving his dog to death in some retarded attempt to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend.
Police say Moreno and his girlfriend adopted the pit bull, Wiggles, back in '08. When the two split in '12, Moreno kept the dog.
Shortly after the breakup, Moreno attempted to get his woman back. When she failed to come running, police say he began using the dog as bait.
"Wiggles is dead. I hope you're happy b—-." Moreno is alleged to have texted to the woman.
When the woman called and asked after the pup's health, Moreno admitted the dog was still alive and presumably fine.
On another occasion, Moreno reportedly informed the woman Wiggles was sick and he couldn't afford to pay for whatever treatment the dog needed. When the woman responded and offered to pitch in, Moreno asked her to dinner — she declined. Denied, he reportedly refused to accept her help, telling her the dog was fine.…

About Columbia crime rates
With a crime rate of 65 per one thousand residents, Columbia has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15. Within South Carolina, more than 81% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Columbia.
Separately, it is always interesting and important to compare a city's crime rate with those of similarly sized communities - a fair comparison as larger cities tend to have more crime. NeighborhoodScout has done just that. With a population of 129,272, Columbia has a combined rate of violent and property crime that is very high compared to other places of similar population size. Regardless of whether Columbia does well or poorly compared to all other cities and towns in the US of all sizes, compared to places with a similar population, it fares badly. Few other communities of this size have a crime rate as high as Columbia.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Columbia does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Columbia.
For Columbia, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Columbia is one in 169.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Columbia is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Columbia, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 17, which is a rate of 59 per one thousand population.
Importantly, we found that Columbia has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in Columbia is one in 218.

Jason Bateman: Privileged to be on 'Arrested'
Hollywood, CA (CNN) — (CNN) -- Jason Bateman has a crazy long resume, but the actor told CNN that he thinks "Arrested Development" was a turning point in his career.
"I wasn't doing much of anything before that show," the actor, who'll next appear in the dramatic thriller "Disconnect," said Tuesday.
"I was just really fortunate that that was a show that was watched by those who hand out jobs in Hollywood," he continued. "There are some shows that are big hits that are watched by middle America but not seen by Los Angeles and New York, and maybe opportunities for people on those shows are not as deep as some of the things that we were given the opportunity to do coming off of that show, so I feel very very fortunate."
So fortunate, in fact, that "Arrested Development's" return on Netflix even prompted him to start using Twitter.
"Social media I'm not great with," Bateman admitted. "I just can't believe that people would really be interested in, 'traffic's crazy today,' or, 'boy, the line is long at Starbucks today.' I just don't think people would care about that with me. But every once in a while when I've got something that perhaps people might be interested in regarding some work coming up, maybe."
Netflix recently announced that "Arrested" will premiere May 26, much to the delight of fans - which, of course, would include Bateman.
"It's a privilege to be a part of something that so many people love, because we obviously love it so much, those of us that do it," he said. "So we can kind of relate. We feel very fortunate to be on the inside of the ropes there, because we kind of see it as fans, too. You know, when we read those new scripts, it's pretty lucky."

Mabe no longer ANCYL treasurerComment on this story
The ANC Youth League's treasurer general Pule Mabe has been removed from his position, the league said on Monday.
"The comrades lost confidence in the treasurer general," African National Congress Youth League deputy secretary general Kenetswe Mosenogi told reporters in Johannesburg.
"The NEC (national executive committee) resolved to release the TG, Pule Mabe from his duties." The decision was made at the ANCYL NEC meeting held over two days at the weekend.
Mosenogi said Mabe had not been suspended from the ANCYL, but was no longer the treasurer general or a member of the NEC.
"We have not suspended him.... He's still an ANCYL member."
The ANCYL called on ANC leaders to intervene in the national disciplinary committee of appeal's decision to expel its leader Julius Malema and suspend secretary general Sindiso Magaqa and spokesman Floyd Shivambu.
"We demand they be reinstated," Mosenogi said.
"They remain our leaders."
The ANCYL wanted a "political solution". - Sapa

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
these headphones are cheap and you definitely pay for that cheapness. my first pair lasted a yr before the right headphone went out, I thought they lasted me this long and they have good sound quality, are very light weight and not too bulky so I will buy the same ones again. Bad idea. The new pair lasted less than 2 months before the right headphone went out again! i definitely wont risk buying another pair. if u want to chance it, buy the headphones. they worked great before i lost sound in one ear. but as i said it is a risk, in my opinion spend a little more money and get some more durable headphones.

I found some lovely interiors that have clean lines and are quite organized to inspire you today. Or perhaps I'm hoping to become inspired by them after spending 6 hours organizing the front four rooms of our apartment and it feels like the mess has only just begun! These gorgeous photographs are from the portfolio of photographer Emily Anderson, who specializes in weddings, and is based in New York City and will travel the world for her clients. I invite you to visit her site and see her many photos for yourself.
We have a floor-through unit in the city, it is around 2,300 square feet, with four rooms in the front, two in the middle along with two bathrooms and two small rooms for storage (one is my laundry closet), and three rooms in the back but that's not all, there are also two wintergartens (three season porches you would call them in the states) and a balcony. I haven't lived in a place this large since I was with my parents so I don't know what to do exactly with all of this space yet but I'm sure I'll get my groove on and figure it all out soon enough. I'm an expert at organizing small spaces and 1 bedroom apartments but I feel a bit like a goldfish in the ocean in here and I'm not sure exactly where to begin because there are so many rooms and options for storing things. But so far, so good — I am doing well and making progress. My new sofa arrived today after waiting for three months. Now I have to hunt for a sofa table. The sofa is a lovely color, it's grey-brown and a very modern with slim metal legs — I'm happy with it. My husband and I selected it together, which was important to me that we make design decisions together in this space just as we did before in our New Hampshire home.
My white IKEA sofa is now in my sitting room, but I will retire it altogether when I find another to replace it because it was never meant to be with us for long and it isn't good for my back. It was only used in our vacation apartment three months per year. I'm ready to let it go, it's been good to us for three years but I'm ready to let someone else love it now. :)
What about you? Are you decorating or organizing your home lately? Are you seeing any changes in your color choices? I'm still a big fan of white, but I'm getting bored with my home looking like everyone else's that I see these days so I want to be different and try some new ideas. I am feeling creative and ready to take on some new looks for my home while still being true to myself. And you? Where do you stand with your interiors lately? I believe that we evolve, and as we evolve, we have to allow our homes to evolve with us. Sure, you aren't going to toss all of your furniture for a complete redux but you can work in some new pieces to reflect who you are today and that is often a good thing.
Remember to check out Emily Anderson's site and I nearly forgot to tell you… she authors a lovely blog that you may enjoy browsing, too.

Good morning friends and happy new week to you! Guess what? My UK publisher will host a press conference for me in London in just two weeks, I just saw the official invitation this morning and am quite excited and very nervous — shaky knees for sure! :) I heard that some journalists and bloggers will be there to talk about Decorate and to view the book in person, which releases in the UK during the same week as my birthday in March. Oh my goodness you guys, what will I wear!?
I'm very excited to see the book in two weeks myself — I keep wondering what it will feel like to hold it in my hands and flip the pages… I've been reading decorating books since I was a child so it's still a very surreal feeling for me to have my own book and I am feeling very emotional about it. Lots of my friends tell me to "work it" and "have fun" and all I want to do is praise all of you for making this happy because I'm smart enough to know that it is through your support that I got a book deal in the first place. It's such an honor for me to create a book for you, and when I have a copy I will make sure to give you a preview in a few weeks. Speaking of decorating…
I thought that it would be fun to share a few photos from my Interior Styling group on Flickr each Monday, a few highlights along with some links to Flickr members that you may or may not follow yet. The reason I selected Monday for this is because at the dawn of a new week lots of us need inspiration and ideas to carry us through the work week.
The Interior Styling group on Flickr has some lovely images submitted by members of the group and so there are always lots of photos to enjoy of real homes decorated by people all over the world who just love to decorate and possess a real knack for it. I curate the group to ensure a cohesive look and feel and to make sure that no odd submissions leak through (I sort through plenty of questionable content that's for sure) so you can be sure that the images will be inspiring and diverse to fit many tastes. Members of this group also know that if they submit their photo to the group that I just may use it on decor8 because good work needs to be shared!

Elsa's shelf of vintage and vintage-inspired notions makes me smile and feel creative just by looking at it. Isn't this how it is sometimes? Even when we do nothing with our little crafty bits, it still makes us feel more creative just by collecting them and having a few around to jump start our creativity now and then… Plus lots of crafty things look extremely sweet when used as decoration in the home, don't they?
This living space by lakbdesign is so inviting in blue tones and tactile elements (wood sculpture above fireplace, coffee table and natural sisal rug) but surprise, there is a gorgeous lime green table in the corner to introduce playfulness to this otherwise sophisticate decor. This look is very relaxing and inviting. The curved armless sofa is divine.
Look for "Interior Styling Favorites" each and every Monday on decor8 going forward where I'll pick my weekly faves from the group and share right here. Enjoy!

Is vintage industrial a style that interests you? If so, you'll like this find. I found out about HKLiving just yesterday after buying an industrial pendant light from them at Die Wohngeschwister in Hamburg. HKLiving is a home collection offering everything from lighting to furniture and interior accessories and is owned by Dutch designer Emiel Hetsen along with his partners Saskia Wesselius and Sander Klaver. Emiel launched his company in 2008 and along with product design, he also has a background in selling antique and vintage furniture and by the looks of his collection, his background resulted in a strong, cohesive collection. HKLiving has appeared in several European design magazines, you can see a few spreads below from VTWonen and Skona Hem.
What do you think of this look? These products are not offered yet in the US, though I'm sure you can find similar products at stores near you and I can bet that you'll be seeing this look more and more in the states — the vintage industrial look is a big trend here.
If you like vintage industrial but want to mix some elements of it in with your own style to create a look, you can go a few ways with it, try these ideas:
* Go clean and graphic — Minimalistic with bold black as an accent, a large metal initial on the wall, chalkboard paint in the dining room, industrial stools at the bar in your kitchen. This look is mostly black and white with a shot of bold color if you wish. Orange is a nice accent and can be brought it by placing a bright orange metal chair at your desk or an orange vase on your table. Floors can be painted white, black or if you are lucky, natural hardwood that is original and a bit rough around the edges. Polished concrete is another option.
* Go country by bringing in pinstripes in black and white for your fabrics along with creamy white (with a yellow tone) mixed with your bright whites (which often have a blue or gray. Add some pastel color – a pale mint wooden cabinet for instance. Mix in original vintage elements like an old wooden farmhouse table, a farmhouse sink for the kitchen, etc. along with your faux vintage pieces. Style with fresh flowers (pink roses, white peonies or lavender for instance), layer blankets on your bed and mix the patterns of your linens, buy a comfy sofa (brown leathers or white linens work nicely), and add wicker baskets as storage for that pile of magazines near your favorite chair.
* Go bright and have fun by adding in patterns (try gray stars or petite floral prints) and bright colors like red, blue and pink. You can bring in a pink Smeg fridge and colorful Cath Kidston wallpaper. Add a vintage industrial light over your dining table in bold yellow. Paint a crate bright red and use for storage.
* Go the natural route by bringing in lots of warmth and texture with reindeer furs and cow hides (cruelty-free or faux), driftwood and branches in vases. Think "rustic" and natural. Mango wood tables, a whitewashed coffee table, comfortable seating that you can sink into, vintage industrial furniture like black metal lockers for storage or crates on wheels as a bedside table. This is purely optional, but you can bring in some ethnic accents into this look — silver Moroccan poufs, a white wooden tea table with silver metal tray, etc.
There are other ways to use vintage industrial items in a way that suits you. You can even mix and match some of these ideas above, for instance the natural and rustic style can work nicely combined with the country look. With clean and graphic, you can add in some country elements to make it a bit French flea market-esque.
Note: Don't only go faux or else your home risks becoming a Faux Chateau, a slang term right up there with McMansion that my friend Laurie uses to describe the interior of a home that has all reproduction pieces in it and nothing genuinely vintage or antique. Mix your faux pieces that are beautifully made and look very authentic, like those at HKLiving with those that are actual vintage pieces that you found at a flea market for best decorating results. This is what I do and it works for me and hopefully can work for you, too. :)
What about where you live, do you see this look creeping in or is it already popular?

My friend Jeannette reminded me of this great interiors/lifestyle site based in Berlin called Freunde von Freunden that I've been meaning to tell you about for months. If you're curious to see how lots of creative people live and work in Berlin, this site is for you. There are interviews (some of them in English), video, and most importantly — lots of inspiring interiors to enjoy. I think you may like seeing what old German city apartments look like — at least in the altbau buildings (photos of them are here thanks to Google images) – which basically means "old building" in English but goes a bit beyond that as I'll get into below…
The altbau is typically very charming as many are Jugenstil dating back to around the 1900's; I live in an altbau and some of the features in my building include huge windows, a balcony, soaring ceilings and original wood floors — some of us are lucky to have the herringbone hardwood floors which are quite handsome. Also the building entryways are typically grand and very large. Unfortunately, just like old buildings in the states, landlords tend to modernize them by removing the beautiful old details to install more "functional" and very typical things like boring bathroom tiles (replacing the gorgeous old tile), but if one is lucky enough they can still find an altbau apartment that has many of the original details still intact.
I laughed when I saw this bathroom above. These windows are so typical here in most of the government buildings, law firms, doctor's offices, museums, etc. I guess that this could be only in the big cities, but in my city many old buildings are occupied by businesses. The bathroom above looks just like the one where I had to go to sign off on some paperwork recently. I don't know, I love these bathrooms. Whenever I am in old buildings I want to photograph the bathrooms. Strange hang up of mine. Perhaps I should do it? Hmmm…
I totally love this kitchen. It's feminine but not too much… Someday I will have either vintage Belgium or Portuguese tile in my kitchen OR hardwood floors. Help me to get rich and famous so I can fulfill my dying wish, please? Thank you. :)
Oh I like the built-in shelving in this kitchen above and that print, yes, that is a great one. Did you notice the detailing on that antique cabinet? I bet a husband somewhere just about died when his dear frau painted that cabinet white, but honestly I've seen them in their original state (regular wood) and they just don't have the same sex appeal. I know, I know, antiques lovers everywhere are cringing as I speak…
But back to Freunde von Freunden, it's a terrific site founded by Berliners Frederik Frede and Tim Seifert with beautiful photographs taken by Ailine Liefeld. Some say it is like The Selby, but I don't see that — I find it to be a different experience entirely. FvF focuses on featuring those who are creative and working in creative industries and not so much on hipsters or how edgy one can be… or how racy even… Though I love The Selby it really does focus on the uber hip which is why we love it whereas FvF tends to tap more into real people and they dig deep into the world of those featured, capturing some of their life through video (not all, but some) and it is Berlin-focused so the local content is especially nice for those who are either living elsewhere but are Berlin-curious or who live in Berlin or nearby, like me, and have no clue who really works and lives in Berlin because like any big city, it's often hard to find other creative types and typically you either find them at parties, exhibitions or online — at least that is how I find others who are working in creative industries.
You can ask anyone in my life and they'll tell you that I have wanted a black Kit Kat clock (I call it a Felix clock) since I was 18 years old and saw one in the home of my friend in Boston. I can't believe I still don't own one. This photo above sent me over the edge, I may just have to hunt one down… I wish someone would buy the rights and reproduce them in ceramic (the one above is plastic) without the jeweled eyes (the vintage ones are ceramic with jeweled eyes).
There are so many amazing people who live in this fascinating city and because it is still so affordable, it continues to draw artists and dreamers from all over the world which is exciting because it's rare to find a city that has beautiful property left that is also in good neighborhoods and affordable! Plus, Berlin is great for families and lots of the apartments are quite large so there is room to spread out a bit. I like that for many of the FvF interviews, they show the workspace of the person interviewed, which often means showing two separate spaces — the living space and the office or atelier. They recently interviewed an American artist living in Berlin, Kelsey Brookes, and I found the way he got into art so fascinating and since the interview is in English, I encourage you to read it here because it's pretty inspiring how this guy found his calling.
I want glass domes and a mirror like that, don't you?
The photos throughout this post are some of my personal favorites, though you really need to dig in and spend time on Freunde von Freunden because it is a great way to blow off a few hours. :) I am now a regular Freunde von Freunden reader and look forward to seeing who will be featured next.
P.S. This site made me realize that the author of those Japanese Paumes books need to do a Berlin interiors book, huh? I mean, there is none for Berlin yet and why? I haven't the slightest clue… Especially after visiting this site!

It is now five months (less a week) since the new Administration took office. Let's see how the economic situation has changed in the last five months and how (so far as anyone can judge) the Administration's plan of economic recovery is working.
When Obama took office, the unemployment rate was 7.2 percent and the underemployment rate (which includes workers who have given up looking for work and workers working part time involuntarily) was13.5 percent. Those figures are now 9.4 percent and 16.4 percent. The Consumer Price Index had fallen in each of the last three months of 2008, stirring fears of a deflationary spiral. But it has increased slightly thus far in 2009; as of April it stood at .4 percent (two-fifths of one percent) over a year previously. This is still deflationary in real terms, because there is some inflation, but fear of a deflationary spiral has abated.
Personal consumption expenditures have risen slightly, but mainly because of increases in gasoline prices. Retail sales of other products and services remain very weak, because of losses in income and wealth coupled with a soaring personal savings rate, which has risen from 4.2 percent five months ago (and only 1 percent a year ago) to 5.7 percent. Housing prices have continued to fall, though the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen from 7900 five months ago to 8800 today, but most people have more wealth in housing than in stock, and housing values have continued to decline. Some professional investors and securities analysts, noting the continued increase in unemployment and underemployment, as well as in defaults (including defaults on mortgages on commercial real estate), foreclosures, credit card defaults, and bankruptcies, believe that the stock market is overvalued; they may of course be wrong.
But there is good news as well as bads. The hundreds of billions of dollars that the government has lent banks, coupled with the banks' success in raising private capital (which has enabled some of them to repay the government's loans), has saved the industry from insolvency, although lending remains constrained: between January and May of this year, banks' excess reserves (lendable cash) rose from an already astronomical $798 billion to $844 billion. So the banks are continuing to hoard. But partly as a result of the rising stock market, business investment is increasing and consumers, though not yet increasing their spending significantly, are more confident about their economic future. Fear of a depression that would approach in gravity the Great Depression of the 1930s has abated, although we do not seem to have reached the bottom of the current downturn, and no one can responsibly predict when we will hit bottom, how low that bottom will be, and how long it will take for the economy to recover.
Against this background, let me attempt an evaluation of the Administration's recovery program. It is necessary first to stress the continuity with the recovery program begun under the Bush Administration; for the initial collapse was in September, so it was four months before Obama took office. The policy of the Federal Reserve, which is an agency independent of the direct control of the President, has not I think been significantly if at all affected by the change in administrations. It has continued its policy of "easy money"--that is, of keeping the federal funds rate (the interest rate at which banks lend reserves to each other on a short-term basis) esssentially at zero (it does this by in effect buying short-term Treasury securities), in order to facilitate lending and borrowing, and buying longer-term Treasury debt, and private debt as well, to the same end of stimulating the provision of credit.
The Treasury Department, under its new management, has also maintained considerable continuity with the Bush Administration, in seeking recapitalization of undercapitalized banks; but there are new programs as well, as I'll explain.
So here are the novel measures that the Obama Administration has taken to speed recovery:
It enacted a $787 billion stimulus package, consisting about two-thirds of temporary tax reductions and increases in unemployment and health benefits, and the other third of spending on public works, such as highway construction. It is not a well designed program, and it has started very slowly. It is not well designed because much of the money earmarked for consumers (the tax cuts and benefits increases) will be hoarded rather than spent. The goal of a deficit-spending program to help pull an economy out of a depression is to have the government buy goods and services directly in order to increase employment by increasing the demand for goods and services. In other words, its supposed to be a public works program. The public works component of the $787 stimulus package may come to no more than $75 to $100 billion a year for the two and a half to three years that the program is expected to remain in effect.
And the government has been unimaginative in the design of the public works component by failing, as the economist Martin Feldstein has pointed out, to increase the kind of military spending that would put people to work. The program also omits to increase the investment tax credit, which is a device for paying private firms to invest.
Yet I regard the package, defective as it is, as an indispensable measure to build confidence among businessmen and consumers. Had the government said in January that though the "easy money" policy appeared to have failed and the bailouts of the banks and the automakers had not yet succeeded, the government had run out of ideas and therefore the American people would just have to grin and bear the downward spiral of the economy, the effect on public morale could have been devastating.

Emmerdale's Jane Cox to judge '60 Seconds of Shakespeare on Film' challenge0
Shakespeare wrote of "That one short minute" in Romeo Juliet and that's exactly how long 15 actors had to create their own 60 Seconds of Shakespeare on Film.
The group of performers from across the UK were set the challenge as part of new competition from Chicken Shop Shakespeare – a collaborative project based in Leeds and the north of England. The final films will be showcased at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds on Saturday 25 October 2014 and judged by an industry panel made up of Emmerdale actor Jane Cox, Nick Ahad writer, broadcaster, director and journalist and casting from Beverley Keogh and Act4TV.
"We bring Shakespearean words and scenes to unexpected situations, environments and new audiences" explained Tanya Vital from Chicken Shop Shakespeare. "We have challenged the actors to take our flash mob formula and make it their very own. Each of them had just one hour to work with our creative team in Leeds to capture their 60 Seconds of Shakespeare on film. It's a brilliant way of bringing Shakespeare to unshakespearean places and the results are intriguing and wonderful."

Opportunity| Open newsroom day hosted by CDN0
Reposted from Broadcast
Broadcasters will open up their newsrooms to 500 budding journalists and news producers from under-represented backgrounds in an event organised by the Creative Diversity Network (CDN).
The CDN Open Newsroom Day will be held on 16 October in the regional and London newsrooms of the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, ITN, Sky and CNN. Those attending will take part in workshops and will learn about the range of skills needed for news production.
The CDN has contacted various institutions such as schools, colleges and local groups to ask them to put forward suitable individuals with an interest in carving out a career in news.
Senior editorial figures within the broadcasters were brought together to devise the day alongside the CDN News Industry Working Group.
Michael Jermey, chair of the CDN News Industry Working Group and ITV director of news and current affairs said: "There has been a huge amount of enthusiasm across the broadcasters to offer a really enjoyable and informative day, with real access and insight, demonstrating a joint commitment across all members to open our doors to aspiring journalists from under-represented backgrounds."

ABC's Keli Lee in Conversation with Oona King on Diversity in TV [Part 2]0
Reposted from The GEITF
In the second part of our Q&A with ABC's Keli Lee, we asked how her casting job works on a day-to-day basis; how she plans to expand her Talent Showcase and whether she can offer any advice to help boost diversity in the UK.
What does the role of executive vice-president casting, ABC, entail?
My role is unusual and unique even in the US in that I manage the casting for the Network and ABC Studios – which produces not only for ABC but for Fox, CBS, cable outlets etc. So the moment there is an idea on the Studio side, we help the producers sell their show, saying, 'can we attach talent, can we package that show, let's put together a shortlist', so that's on the development side before it's even pitched to the Network.
On the Network side, any show idea that has an actor attached as a producer or an actor, I'm in those pitches. So the conversation is, 'ok this person has this idea, is this the right show for ABC and is this the right character for this person?' And these are the discussions early on before there's even a script. Of course, we're the most involved right before we're greenlighting some of these scripts, and of course, during pilot season.
So you are the person that decides at the end of the day?
It's completely collaborative. It's the vision of the creators and who they have in mind, but we ask whether they can write for this person every week – that's so important. And then there's the Studio executives and Network executives – it's a conversation and a collaboration but ultimately if the writer feels this is the person they can really write for and is inspired by, we want to support that decision.
But if you don't think the lead is going to work?
It's a negotiation…it really comes down to who is the most passionate.
What's the biggest challenge in making diversity mainstream?
Comedies are harder because if that comedy writer is writing about a personal experience and that writer grew up in the Midwest, they are writing about what they know. That's a challenge when it comes to adding diversity, especially if it's about your childhood. If you think about The Goldbergs which is a really fantastic show, Adam Goldberg is writing about his family and it's really hard to say: 'can your sister be somebody else?'
Opportunity| Welcome Back: helping BAME professionals get back into TV0
Reposted from BBC Academy
Bookings are now open for Welcome Back - a brand new free event for BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) professionals on 5 November at BBC New Broadcasting House in London.
Delivered by the BBC Academy in partnership with The TV Collective and Creative Skillset, the event is open to 50 BAME professionals seeking to return to the television industry.
The last Creative Skillset census found that BAME representation in the creative industries has seen "a decline from 12,250 in 2009 to 10,300 in 2012. BAME people represented 7.4% of the total workforce in 2006, compared to 6.7% in 2009 and 5.4% in 2012".
A packed day will offer informative and insightful panel sessions, hands-on training and exclusive one to one networking opportunities
With this statistic in mind, Welcome Back aims to encourage, equip and empower BAME professionals to re-enter the TV industry with renewed confidence and up to date knowledge. The event will also provide a chance to network with industry execs and to gain practical help, inspiration and advice.
A packed day will offer a series of informative and insightful panel sessions, hands-on training and exclusive one to one networking opportunities with industry talent managers and series/exec producers. Danny Cohen, BBC director of Television will open the day and sessions will give access to senior figures from broadcasters and indies talking on a variety of subjects, such as career strategy, the commissioning process and the business of television.

ABC's Keli Lee in Conversation with Oona King on Diversity in TV0
Reposted from The GEITF
Keli Lee, executive vice-president, casting at ABC, was back in the UK by popular demand last week following her appearance at the TV Festival's diversity session, Minority Report: Is TV Racist?
Her timing couldn't have been more perfect. As she flew over from LA for our diverse casting event with Creative Skillset, one her shows was taking Twitter by storm. Black-ish, written by Anthony Anderson and starring Laurence Fishburne, achieved ratings which rivalled Modern Family's opener, and looks set to become the first successful black sitcom on network television in a decade.
Lee casts for all of ABC's scripted series – currently 37 – with shows such as Lost, Grey's Anatomy and Scandal among the line-up. With a host of new Autumn shows starring people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, the network is receiving praise for having "the most diverse slate on US television." (Hollywood Reporter)
How? We asked Baroness Oona King and Channel 4's diversity exec to find out how Lee operates and what role her diverse casting initiative, something that has run for 13 years, has played in that.
Tell us about your background
I was born in Korea and moved to the US when I was 2-years old and growing up I wanted to assimilate. I wanted to be as American as possible and what is that? It's television. But it was only when I was working in television that I stopped and asked 'where's the diversity? This is not real. How can we make this as real as possible?
Did you feel like an outsider growing up?
I never felt like I really belonged and I think that's the way a lot of immigrant families feel as well. Feeling like I didn't belong made me empathise with so many different kinds of people.
Were your parents disappointed that you moved in to TV?
They still don't understand what I do. Even when I was vice-president of casting at Disney they asked me when I was going to law school!
How did you get in to TV?
I had a summer job at Caroline's comedy club – right before Roseanne and Seinfeld were about to get that shows. I was taking reservations and socialising with comedians and thought it was the greatest job in the world. One said 'what are you doing with a philosophy degree? I'll introduce you to a casting director at Warner Bros.' I met her and asked her 'what is casting?' I was hired as an intern and my first job was as an assistant on Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.
Progression at mid-and senior-level is one of the issues in the UK Did you ever experience a glass ceiling?
No I don't think that's an issue. And currently our head of network drama, head of studio drama, head of comedy, head of marketing and head of casting are all diverse.
There's a 360 strategy on the workforce side and a mentoring programme aimed at everyone. But there arecertainly efforts and commitments to find as many diverse people as possible.
Why did you launch the diverse talent showcase?
The conversation I was having with so many producers and industry colleagues was we're seeing the same diverse talent, where's the rest. It was an issue of pipeline.
If that's the issue I thought how do we find talent for you. I'd been to a lot of showcases and sat through them for hours so I created a showcase that lasts an hour, and leaves people wanting more.
The first 2 years we learnt a lot. We initially broke it down into 4 showcases for different ethnic groups but we then combined it into 1 fully diverse showcase. We interviewed 700 diverse actors in New York and 700 in LA. This year, we interviewed 7000 so it really has grown.
We have an ABC casting page, Twitter, Facebook.
What are the mechanics?
I do this in addition to casting for 37 series. When pilot series is over in April/May we release breakdowns for our showcase. We go through submissions and my team select 14-20 in each city.
We give them material which is written by diverse writers – who can have their work showcased to the whole industry – NBC, CBS, Fox, agents, casting directors.. – I keep it open because this is the early stage of their career and I want to give them as many opportunities as possible. ABC is never going to have enough so we need a combined effort.

13,000 Filipinos trapped in war-torn Libya
Alert 4 -- the highest crisis level imposed by the Philippines on countries experiencing civil strife or armed conflict -- calls for mandatory evacuation at the expense of the Philippine government. It also bans travel to and the deployment of workers to said countries.
"The Department of Foreign Affairs has raised Alert Level 4 in Libya in response to the extremely unstable political and security situation there," a security notice issued by the DFA said.
"Under Alert Level 4, the Philippine government undertakes evacuation of about 13,000 Filipino nationals there as soon as possible while no Filipino national will be allowed to travel to Libya."
Filipinos in Libya are asked to contact the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli for instructions regarding mass evacuation, the DFA said.

Commendation points are
scaled, as they are independent of the standard ranking system. You could have hit Tier 4 in Military or Trade and still be a Lieutenant Commander, in theory.
(In practice, since you get skill points for the vast majority of assignments, even if you did nothing but assignments and never went into a mission, you'd probably level up a few ranks by the time you hit Tier 4 in a commendation category.)
Some assignments do have a minimum level requirement, but these are generally not "better", they're just locked to higher level for thematic or practical reasons - for example, you don't get Undine and Borg assignments until you can access the appropriate sectors. We may make certain accolades that require some of these level-required assignments; for example, we have been considering accolades for things like successfully raiding every planet in the Sol system as a Klingon, or completing archaelogical expeditions in every sector.
Assignments degree of reward is based on several factors:
Rarer assignments have better rewards
Longer assignments have higher absolute rewards, but lower per capita/per second rewards (i.e., they are less efficient)
Assignments that have a higher chance of injury or death will have higher rewards
Assignments that have higher inputs (commodities, anomalies, energy units, etc.) will have higher rewards
Assignments that have no chance of disaster or failure will have lower rewards
Assignments that have a lower chance of success will have higher rewards; most assignments start at around 75% chance of success, but some are closer to 50%, meaning you need to put better duty officers into them for a more reliable chance of success
Assignments with more specific requirements will have higher rewards; for example, a requirement of "Projectile Weapons Specialist" will generally reward more than one that will take any Tactical officer
Assignments with tougher trait modifiers will tend to have higher rewards
...You get the idea. Tougher to do = Better rewards. There are equations behind this, but they are deliberately not precise, since perfect equality is boring, and I want people to try to figure out what are the most efficient and effective ways to use the system. That being said, I am very certain some things are out of balance, and as we move through the closed beta, Tribble and Holodeck the plan is to actively iterate and tweak things where appropriate to avoid egregious issues.
Most situations where an assignment is qualitatively or quantitatively better are due to either rarity or due to qualifying for them due to having achieved a higher tier in certain commendation categories. For example, early on you can get a fairly rare assignment to get a bridge officer, and your degree of success will determine what quality level that bridge officer is. Later on, meaning once you've ranked up one of several commendation categories, you can encounter rare assignments that you simply need a basic success to get a blue or purple bridge officer.
Thanks for the information. Interesting to read as usual.

The is one of the worst apartments that I have ever lived in my life. The police were call weekly and the kids Read More were unruly running up and down the stairs unsupervised, and their was outside traffic always in the apartment due to a tenant selling candy and other items out of their apartment. I told the manager of all these event and she was to afraid to do anything so we suffered in silenced.

Elan Announces Commencement Of Tender Offer And Consent Solicitation
Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan") (NYSE: ELN) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Elan Finance public limited company ("Elan Finance") and Elan Finance Corp. ("Elan Corp." and together with Elan Finance, the "Issuers"), are commencing a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of their outstanding:
- 8.750% Senior Notes due 2016 issued October 2, 2009 (the "2009 Notes"); and
- 8.750% Senior Notes due 2016 issued August 17, 2010 (the "2010 Notes" and, together with the 2009 Notes, the "Notes").
As part of the Tender Offer, the Issuers are soliciting consents (the "Consent Solicitation" and, together with the Tender Offer, the "Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation") from the holders of the Notes for certain proposed amendments that would eliminate or modify substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other provisions contained in each of the indentures governing the Notes. Holders who tender their Notes will be deemed to consent to all of the proposed amendments. Holders may not deliver consents to the proposed amendments without tendering their Notes in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated September 24, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, which more fully set forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 22, 2012, unless the Tender Offer is extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Date"). Under the terms of the Tender Offer, holders of the Notes who validly tender and do not withdraw their Notes prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 5, 2012 (as such time and date may be extended, the "Consent Payment Deadline") and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the "Total Consideration," which is equal to (i) $1,053.34 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (the "Tender Offer Consideration") plus (ii) a consent payment of $40.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (the "Consent Payment"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Date but on or before the Expiration Date, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive only the Tender Offer Consideration.

The Early Settlement Date will be determined at the Issuers' option and is currently expected to occur on the first business day following the Consent Payment Deadline, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Issuers. Irrespective of whether the Issuers choose to exercise the option to have an Early Settlement Date, the Issuers will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered and not subsequently withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation having been satisfied or waived by the Issuers (the "Final Settlement Date"). The Final Settlement Date is expected to occur on the first business day following the Expiration Date, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Issuers.
