9 & 3/4 Pounds Continental Pilsener 2-Row
1/4 Pound Carapils
3/4oz Sterling 7.9%A @ 60 Minutes ( Bittering - 26 IBU )
3/4oz Sterling 7.9%A @ 30 Minutes ( Bittering/Flavor - 13 IBU )
1/2oz Sazz 3.5%A @10 Minutes ( Flavor - 1 IBU )
1/2oz Sazz 3.5%A @ 5 Minutes ( Aroma - 1 IBU )
Since this beer is just a basic Bohemian style Lager, you should probably stick to WPL800 or a Pilsener style yeast, but I've also made this beer with WLP802, WLP810, and Saflager S-23 and it turned out really well. If you use one of the liquid yeasts then make a starter or pitch the yeast from your last batch, if you use the dry yeast - just pitch 2 packs.
Mash with 3.25 gallons of water at 150F for 60 minutes. Our local water is really good, but I'm finding the best results come with using about 1/2 local tap water and 1/2 filtered water. Make it a few times and see whats best for you, you want the water to be fairly soft because you can really taste the difference when its done.
Sparge with 175F water till you come to nearly 7 gallons in the brew pot. Get the burner going and bring it to a rolling boil. We're going for a 90 minute boil, the first 30 minutes don't add anything, just watch to make sure it doesn't boil over and get a kitchen strainer and scoop as much of the big clumps of hot break that form out of the beer that you can. You don't have to boil the entire 90 minutes, but don't start the timer on your hop additions till you've already come to a rolling boil and removed the hot break.
Once you're not seeing the large clumps of hot break forming anymore, then start your timer and add your hops according to schedule. The first couple of times I made this, I used Sazz hops only but I've finally decided that Sterling Hops for the bittering tastes best to me, not to mention is a bit more cost effective than 6 ounces of Sazz.
At the end of your boil, cool it down as quickly as you can and pitch your yeast. I usually expect to have about 5.5 gallons in the fermenter.
Try and ferment about 50F or cooler if possible. Usually the beer has reached its final gravity in about 10-12 days, once its got to the final gravity let it warm up to the mid-60s or even room temperature for a day or two for a Diacetyl rest. If you were very careful with keeping your temps low during the ferment, the diacetyl rest probably isn't necessary but I usually do it anyway.
You can rack it to a secondary at this point if you want to and put it back in the fridge to lager for a few weeks, or you can just go ahead and bottle it and lager it in the bottles. I don't really see the point in using a secondary with this beer so I'm inclined to just skip it, if you like to use a secondary then go for it, my beer tastes fantastic without it so there you go.
Bottle it as you normally would, and give it at least a week or two to carbonate and then lager it in the fridge for several weeks before sampling. The beer may have some chill haze before 8 weeks, but if you lager it long enough it will be crystal clear.
If you can wait that long, give it at least 8 weeks in the fridge before you start sampling, the longer you let the beer condition the clearer the beer will pour and the better carbonated the beer will be.
I brewed this again a couple months ago only used Liberty hops instead of the Sazz and reused a yeast cake of S-23 it turned out excellent beyond belief.
This weekend I'm brewing it again, only I'm going to give the WLP802 Czech Budejovice Lager yeast a try for the first time.
This is a good basic recipe for tweaking, I've made the same thing multiple times now with only minor variations of the hops and yeast depending on what I wanted to try and what was available. Its pretty hard to screw up. You really can't go wrong with the first recipe in this topic though, I think that one was the first attempt that was really good enough to warrant posting in the recipe section. The modifications have been good too, but the recipes don't seem different enough to warrant posting a new recipe so I won't.

Question & Answers
Answer from: DPdaGreat
I can only 2 star level 4 but I just got level 6. Go fast right away and lean back, then lean forward off your back tire going into the first jump so you land going down the hill, don't let your front tire hit the jump (kinda hard). The rest is straight forward and just hauling ass. Best of luck!
Answer from: DPdaGreat
Finally got level 4 three stared! I was using the ninja bike which feels faster but I don't think it is. I spent hours on this level so don't expect to get it your first try.
So try to keep back tire against wall the whole time getting through first loop part. When you drop down try to keep front tire as the only thing touching(I think it's faster), fall down to next part and lean back and slow up a bit for the jump. Try to land without touching the top to keep your momentum going forward. Go slow for the next jump and squeeze in between the two jumps above you. Roll back a little ways, enough to clear the next jump, and gun it to the finish line!
Hope this helps! This was the last level I had to three star and by far the hardest for me. I saw the youtube video for help, even though the kid couldn't even do it.
Answer from: Not_an_expert
I have the same problem with 4 and man is it hard! But maybe I can help in 2. You slowly go on onto you fall down the hill. Ride full speed and do the same thing until you get to the point. Hope it helps.
Answer from: Playa
On level 6 I used the acrobatic bike and I skipped all three of the loops. Land at the very top of the ramp at the beginning, lean back and quickly foreword when you get to the end of the ramp, this launched me high enough that I landed on top of the first loop that you get to, it's easy from there.

McDonald's Finds Strength Overseas
OAK BROOK, Ill. ( TheStreet) -- McDonald's (MCD) reported strong January same-store sales on strength in China and Europe.
McDonald's said comparable same-store sales -- or sales at stores open at least one year, a key metric in the restaurant industry -- jumped 3.1% in the U.S. in January. Comps in Europe surged 7% while same-store sales in McDonald's Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA) region rose 5.2%.
Systemwide sales in January increased 7.4%, or 6.7% in constant currencies, McDonald's said Tuesday.McDonald's said U.S. strength reflected the brand's everyday accessibility to American consumers, including its beverage lineup of products like its McCafe premium hot chocolate and Caramel Mochas, the popularity of Chicken McNuggets, and the nationwide launch of Fruit & Maple Oatmeal. European strength was led by demand for McDonald's products in Germany, the U.K., France and Russia, where its breakfast and drive-through services were popular. McDonald's said improved results the APMEA region were driven by positive results in China, Japan and Australia, where customers enjoyed locally-relevant menu items. Better-than-expected January comps led investors to bid McDonald's shares 3.3% higher to $75.86 in morning trading Tuesday. In its recent quarter,

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The National Basketball Association has reportedly signed off on a deal that will bring Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The league is allowing the Celtics' coach to move to the Clippers. In turn, the Celtics will be compensated with a 2015 first-round pick after agreeing to release Rivers from his remaining three-year, $21 million contract.
Rivers will reportedly sign another three-year, $21 million contract with the Clippers, according to CBS Sports.
Sources close to the situation also told ESPN that the team believes the signing of Rivers will solidify the re-signing of Chris Paul, who would currently become a free agent on July 1, to a new deal.
Rivers coached the Celtics for nine seasons and led Boston to a national championship in 2008.
Under Rivers, the Celtics returned to the finals in 2010, but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, whom they defeated in the 2008 finals.
He also coached two NBA All-Star teams, in 2008 and 2011.

An IRL Moral Q from DD12
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 08-24-2009 - 8:48pm
A young couple on our street are getting married soon.
|Wed, 08-26-2009 - 7:04am
I would have probably said that yes, it is wrong to be having sex outside of marriage (and we have already had that conversation many times, so that wouldn't be news), but that it was good that the mother didn't abort the baby and good that they were getting married now so the baby would have 2 parents living in the same house...or some such thing.
|Wed, 08-26-2009 - 8:19am
DD12 nudges me adn asks,but isn't it wrong mom that they had the baby first?>>>>>>
My answer would be to tell my child that it's not the order God intended. It's best to be married first and then have children. but also be thankful that the baby was not aborted. And if your child knows enough about the birds&bees - it's not that it was wrong to have the baby, but it was wrong to have sex before marriage.
I can't say it's 'wrong' to have the baby first because that almost gives the impression that birth control or abortion would be justified - which it's not
Wife to Scott
Mom to: Madeleine, James, Abigail, Theresa & John
|Wed, 08-26-2009 - 12:52pm
I think you gave a great answer, Jeanne! I also agree that it would be good to reiterate that it was great that the baby wasn't aborted (If your DD knows about abortion). When I've discussed these things with my kids, I've also been very, very strong about not judging others. I always say stuff like: "We don't know their circumstances" or "It's up to God to figure out what is wrong in someone else's life, not us". At the same time, it's fine to tell your kids that you, your DH, and the Church believe that having sex before marriage is not the right thing to do.
Which actually brings me to another topic. I'm not trying to hijack the thread here, but my DH and I lived together before we got married. There are many pictures of us from that time. My kids know our past, have seen pictures of our apartment, our dog, and where DH attended medical school, etc. I'm sure at least my boys have figured out that we had sex prior to marriage. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite when I push the "No sex before marriage thing" with my kids. So what I've basically said (To avoid questions, primarily) is that Michael and I feel sex goes with true love, commitment and marriage, and left it at that. I have avoided details, in order to avoid questions. My younger sister also lives with her boyfriend, and my kids know this. So far, I have artfully avoided getting in to detail about it and have ALWAYS stressed that we should not judge others--that "Judgement is the Lord's", but I figure eventually I'm going to have to confront this issue with all 4 of my kids.
Any suggestions??
|Wed, 08-26-2009 - 5:20pm
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful anwer too,Sofia.
I think your own position would have been more awkward had you never married.
|Wed, 08-26-2009 - 5:33pm
tough one Sofia.....
when the boys are old enough to talk about such things (not sure how old they are) talk about God's way being the right way. And how even parents made mistakes and sinned in the past but that doesn't make it right..... and how you as their mother want what is best for them and waiting until marriage is best because God knows what is best even if we think we know better (keeping this in the back of my mind if kids ever ask about my past ... even though I lived with noone, I did go on spring break with a guy, etc etc)......
not sure if that helps or makes any sense
Wife to Scott
Mom to: Madeleine, James, Abigail, Theresa & John

That's a fine answer, but I think I would have said that God tells us we should marry first, not that it is just your belief.
I think sometimes people try to be non-judgmental, and end up sounding like relativists. There is a big difference between saying, "That is wrong" and saying "They are terrible people."
|Thu, 08-27-2009 - 9:51pm
I think we get so hung up in "not judging" that we lose sight of the fact that it IS acceptable to judge actions.

So much good advice given here! I have no advice to add to it, just a couple of semi-related thoughts.
My extended family is not more complicated than most people's, but out of my ENTIRE extended family - parents, siblings, aunts & uncles, cousins, etc. - DH & I are the only ones who married in a Catholic church before having children and are still married. That makes us the "good example," I guess. However, I know that a lot of that is just happenstance: DH received all his Catholic sacraments so we *could* get married in a Catholic church, but I didn't specifically seek out a Catholic husband; I just happened to fall in love with someone who "qualified" to be married by a fairly liberal priest who didn't mind that we lived together, and we used birth control pills until we were ready to have kids. DH also turned out to be a much better person than any of my sisters' choices of first (and sometimes second) husbands.
Bottom line: I don't think we're winning any morality medals here just because we're fortunate and compatible.
I admit to having a lot of unresolved feelings about how to raise Catholic kids with Catholic morality. It would be hard to preach about not having sex before marriage when DH and I obviously lived together. My kids do know that abortion is wrong and promiscuity is bad for you, but we've never talked about birth control. And I disagree with the Church's position on gay marriage, which is especially hard for me personally to swallow since at least one of my kids is gay or bisexual (still figuring that out). Preaching complete, perpetual abstinence to someone who's in love with someone of the same sex is beyond my ability at this point. I've tried to walk the middle ground of pointing out that government is "of the people, by the people, and for the people," but that churches have the right and the obligation to speak what they believe is the truth. And then I hope that I've taught my kids how to be safe and respectful of themselves and others, and are intelligent enough to make the right decisions for themselves, because as adults their faith will be their own, not mine.
Not trying to be controversial here, but I am finding that many of the issues that I thought were going to be fairly straightforward when I was a younger mother are no longer so clearcut now that I have older teens.

|adiabatic (ād'ē-ə-bāt'ĭk) Pronunciation Key
Occurring without gain or loss of heat. When a gas is compressed under adiabatic conditions, its pressure increases and its temperature rises without the gain or loss of any heat. Conversely, when a gas expands under adiabatic conditions, its pressure and temperature both decrease without the gain or loss of heat. The adiabatic cooling of air as it rises in the atmosphere is the main cause of cloud formation.

The best Christmas card message in my mailbox
A Christmas Wish…
May we break down boundaries, tear down walls, and build on the fountain of goodness inside each of us. May we look past differences, gain understanding, and embrace acceptance. May we reach out to each other rather than resist. May we be better stewards of the earth, protecting and replenishing the beauties of nature. May we practice gratitude for all we have, rather than complain about our needs. May we seek cures for the sick, help for the hungry, and love for the lonely. May we share our talents, give our time, and teach our children. May we hold hope for the future very tenderly in our hearts and do all we can to build for the bright tomorrows. And may we love with our whole hearts, for that's the only way to love.
May your heart be filled with the spirit of the season…

Equipped with the most poignant black metal etiquette, Black Flame deliver a thick and mysterious dark musical matter whose riffs and heavy-duty power are rather death metal distinctive. Occult-like and musically superb, what with the multiple breaks and rhythm changes without falling into being too "technical," Black Flame's already 4th (!!!) full length studio recording will leave you jaw-dropped and stupefied in the face of the sheer and refined vitriol and the many pieces of the puzzle coming at you like venomous bullets. This album is beauty; this album is death; this album is man's downfall....

EP Global Communications, Inc . (EPGL), (the Company), (Pink Sheets: EPGL), ( www.eparent.com), the parent company of Exceptional Parent ( EP) magazine, is pleased to announce that it has just signed a content license agreement with the well-known and highly respected internet-based healthcare network, WebMD. With the goal of providing valuable information related to individuals with disabilities and special healthcare needs, the world-renown leading provider of virtual medical information has turned to the special needs journal that has been exclusively focusing on this population for over 40 years.
WebMD's team of editors and healthcare experts reviewed content previously published by EP magazine and selected articles to position on the WebMD network. Among the topics of initial interest to the company were: brain injury, autism, home schooling, and pet therapy. Additionally, WebMD staff will review each of EP's future issues upon publication and select up to 3 articles from each issue to feature on WebMD.
"The formation of this relationship is a positive development for everyone involved in the special needs community," stated EP President and CEO, Joe Valenzano. "At EP we provide the best and most valuable information for parents, physicians, and caregivers of people with special needs but this content is only delivered to those who opt to subscribe.

The agreement also includes the exchange of reciprocal links between EP and WebMD whereby WebMD will provide a link back to EP's website (eparent.com) and a mention and link back to the EP content on the WebMD Network in two WebMD newsletters each year. In turn, EP will provide a link to the EP content on WebMD via its website and digital publication (eparentdigital.com).

Former Raider Kwame Harris allegedly assaults ex-boyfriend
Former 49ers and Raiders offensive tackle Kwame Harris, who was arrested at a restaurant in Menlo Park on Aug. 21 after allegedly assaulting his ex-boyfriend was charged with felony abuse Monday, according to San Mateo County prosecutors. Harris pleaded not guilty.
Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. Karen Guidotti told the San Mateo Daily Journal that Harris and the alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship but were not involved at the time of the incident. Harris' attorney, Alin Cintean, told the newspaper the two "were previously involved."
Harris and Dimitri Geier were having dinner before Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport. During dinner, Geier poured soy sauce on a plate of rice, angering Harris. When the two went to get Geier's belongings from Harris' car, Harris accused Geier of stealing his underwear and tried pulling his pants down.

My jig for building cutting boards….
Pretty simple, a piece of melamine with three "fences". Everything trimmed out in some walnut that I got from a scrap pile, which keeps the melamine from chipping out on the edges. It has some pine strips on the bottom to elevate it and the fences are reinforced with aluminum angle braces.

The need to see China fail verges on jingoism. But if you're looking out for America above all, you should really be praying for China to thrive.
Is China about to collapse? That question has been front and center in the past weeks as the country completes its leadership transition and after the exposure of its various real estate bubbles during a widely-watched 60 Minutes exposé this past weekend.
Concerns about soaring property prices throughout China are hardly new, but they have been given added weight by the government itself. Recognizing that a rapid implosion of the property market would disrupt economic growth, the central government recently announced far-reaching measures designed to dent the rampant speculation. Higher down payments, limiting the purchases of investment properties, and a capital gains tax on real estate transactions designed to make flipping properties less lucrative were included.
These measures, in conjunction with the new government's announcing more modest growth targets of 7.5 percent a year, sent Chinese equities plunging and led to a slew of commentary in the United States saying China would be the next shoe to drop in the global system.
Yet there is more here than simple alarm over the viability of China's economic growth. There is the not-so-veiled undercurrent of rooting against China. It is difficult to find someone who explicitly wants it to collapse, but the tone of much of the discourse suggests bloodlust. Given that China largely escaped the crises that so afflicted the United States and the eurozone, the desire to see it stumble may be understandable. No one really likes a global winner if that winner isn't you.
The need to see China fail verges on jingoism. Americans distrust the Chinese model, find that its business practices verge on the immoral and illegal, that its reporting and accounting standards are sub-par at best and that its system is one of crony capitalism run by crony communists. On Wall Street, the presumption usually seems to be that any Chinese company is a ponzi scheme masquerading as a viable business. In various conversations and debates, I have rarely heard China's economic model mentioned without disdain. Take, as just one example, Gordon Chang in Forbes: "Beijing's technocrats can postpone a reckoning, but they have not repealed the laws of economics. There will be a crash."
The consequences of a Chinese collapse, however, would be severe for the United States and for the world. There could be no major Chinese contraction without a concomitant contraction in the United States. That would mean sharply curtailed Chinese purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds, far less revenue for companies like General Motors, Nike, KFC and Apple that have robust business in China (Apple made $6.83 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012, up from $4.08 billion a year prior), and far fewer Chinese imports of high-end goods from American and Asian companies. It would also mean a collapse of Chinese imports of materials such as copper, which would in turn harm economic growth in emerging countries that continue to be a prime market for American, Asian and European goods.
China is now the world's second-largest economy, and property booms have been one aspect of its growth. Individual Chinese cannot invest outside of the country, and the limited options of China's stock exchanges and almost nonexistent bond market mean that if you are middle class and want to do more than keep your money in cash or low-yielding bank accounts, you buy either luxury goods or apartments. That has meant a series of property bubbles over the past decade and a series of measures by state and local officials to contain them. These recent measures are hardly the first, and they are not likely to be the last.

From Randi Zuckerberg, social media and technology expert and former marketing executive at Facebook, comes a welcome, essential guide to understanding social media and technology and how they influence and inform our lives online and off.
Technology and social media have changed, enhanced, and complicated every facet of our lives—from how we interact with our friends to how we elect presidents, from how we manage our careers to how we support important causes, from how we find love to how we raise our children.
The technology revolution is not going away. We can't hide from it or pretend that it's not changing our lives in a thousand different ways. So how do we deal? In Dot Complicated, Randi Zuckerberg shows us. Through first hand accounts of her time at Facebook and beyond, where Zuckerberg witnessed this remarkable shift, she details the opportunities and obstacles, problems and solutions, to this new online reality. In the process, she establishes rules to bring some much-needed order and clarity to our connected, complicated, and constantly changing lives online. "The Internet, social networks, and smartphones," Zuckerberg writes, "have given us amazing new tools and ways of communicating, collaborating, and living with one another. We can use new technology to understand and solve some very old challenges that individuals and communities around the world have faced since long before Facebook, or anything like it, existed."
Invaluable, timely, and engaging, Dot Complicated reveals how to make it through your life online in one piece—from the etiquette of unfriending and the power of crowdsourcing to the perils of photo tags and the importance of teaching your kids how to be tech savvy.
Overall, I thought the book was insightful, funny and easy to read.
This book talks very candidly about something we all know and fear... we are too connected and our technology can become the controlling piece to our lives.
It's all about balance and the book is a first person account of how Randi Zuckerberg found that for herself.

Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets - 'Soundproofing Blankets' Made with Materials that Absorb SoundOur sound absorption sheets are often referred to as 'soundproofing blankets' (a common misconception between sound absorption and soundproofing, click here to learn about sound). Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets are not soundproofing blankets, but may indeed reduce volume levels if the space is properly treated. When hung throughout the room, these sheets absorb echoes, reverberation and noise reflection. Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets have been tested in an acoustic laboratory and have an impressive NRC rating of .65.

Awesome shirt with great collar
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this shirt. The collar is my favorite part. When buttoned all the way up, it has a nice feminine look which I think is a nice touch to a flannel. I bought a size small and it is on the looser side, but I think that is the look and it works well. It is nice and warm too. Comfortable shirt, definitely recommend.

(Updates with Alcoa spokesman in sixth paragraph.)
Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Alcoa Inc., the largest U.S. aluminum producer, wants a racketeering lawsuit filed against it by Bahrain's state-owned aluminum producer reopened by a judge, saying that it will seek to dismiss the case.
Aluminium Bahrain BSC, known as Alba, sued in February 2008, claiming that Alcoa bribed senior officials in Bahrain and caused Alba to pay inflated prices for alumina, the principal raw material in aluminum. The case against New York-based Alcoa was filed in federal court in Pittsburgh.
A month later, U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose halted the case after the U.S. Justice Department said it was investigating whether Alcoa made corrupt payments in Bahrain. The judge also administratively closed the case, "to allow the government to fully conduct an investigation without the interference and distraction of ongoing civil litigation," court records show.
In a filing yesterday, Alcoa asked Ambrose to reopen the case and also sought permission to file a motion seeking its dismissal because racketeering law "does not apply to the extraterritorial conduct" alleged by Alba. Alcoa said Alba should be required to file a statement laying out its racketeering case.
Alcoa has cooperated over the past three years in the Justice Department probe and a related investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the filing.
'Continue to Cooperate'
"The federal investigation is ongoing and we continue to cooperate," Alcoa spokesman Michael Belwood said today in an interview.
On Oct. 24, the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office charged Victor Dahdaleh, a British and Canadian national who lives in London, with paying bribes to officials of a smelting company in Bahrain to win contracts for Alcoa to supply alumina. Dahdaleh, 68, is the owner of Dadco Group, according to his lawyers.
"Dahdaleh believes the investigation into his affairs was flawed and that he has done absolutely nothing wrong," his law firm, Allen & Overy LLP, said in a statement. "He will be vigorously contesting these charges."
Dahdaleh was charged with corruption and transferring criminal property over a four-year period until 2005. He allegedly bribed officials of Alba, which is majority-owned by the state, for alumina supplies shipped to Bahrain from Australia on behalf of Alcoa, the SFO said. He is also accused of paying bribes to supply goods and services to the Bahraini company.
Board Trustee
Dahdaleh is a board trustee of the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation and runs the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Charitable Foundation, which grants scholarships to needy students, according to his website. He was released on bail until an Oct. 31 hearing at a London criminal court.
Dahdaleh is among donors who gave as much as $5 million to Clinton's foundation.
An Alba attorney, Mark MacDougall of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP in Washington, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment on Alcoa's request.
The case is Aluminum Bahrain BSC v. Alcoa Inc., 08- cv-00299, U.S. District Court, Western District of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh).

Comstock Resources, Inc. Announces Sale Of West Texas Properties And Revised 2013 Capital Budget
FRISCO, Texas, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock Resources, Inc. (" Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Rosetta Resources Inc. ("Rosetta") (Nasdaq: ROSE) pursuant to which Rosetta will acquire all of Comstock's oil and gas properties in Reeves and Gaines counties in West Texas for a sales price of $768 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions. The sale will have an effective date of January 1, 2013 and is expected to close on or about May 15, 2013. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce its outstanding debt and to fund an increase to its 2013 drilling program in the Eagle Ford shale.
Comstock also announced a revised capital budget for 2013 to reflect the divestiture of the West Texas properties and an increase in drilling activity in its Eagle Ford shale in South Texas. The Company is now projecting to spend $410 million in 2013 on drilling activities and $12 million on exploratory leasehold for total capital expenditures of $422 million. Comstock plans to spend $347 million to drill 82 wells (50.5 net) on its on-going operations in South Texas and East Texas/North Louisiana. The Eagle Ford shale will account for $312 million of the budget where Comstock plans to drill 72 wells (46.9 net) with the remainder related to the Company's natural gas properties primarily in East Texas and North Louisiana. Comstock plans to increase the number of operated rigs in South Texas from the three that are currently drilling to a total of six during the second half of 2013. Capital expenditures on the West Texas properties for 2013 prior to the closing of the divestiture are estimated to be $63 million to drill 16 wells (11.6 net).
"This transaction substantially enhances our balance sheet by providing us with an opportunity to improve our liquidity and leverage position. The sale will also yield a strong return for our stockholders on our investment in this region," stated M. Jay Allison, Chief Executive Officer of Comstock. "We will now direct our resources to accelerate the development of our oil properties in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas."
Evercore Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Comstock with respect to this transaction and provided a fairness opinion to the Company's board of directors.This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management ' s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein.

We continue our series on the Top 5 Moments of FSU's 2014 season.
Rashad Greene's clutch catch came in at No. 5 yesterday, and today we stretch the rules a little to focus on two key plays by the same player.
No. 4: Dalvin Cook breaks off a pair of game-winning runs
Freshman running back Dalvin Cook let all of college football know he had arrived with two phenomenal runs during a three-week stretch in the later part of the year.
At the same time, he may have salvaged FSU's season.
First came his game-clincher against Louisville on Oct. 30. The Seminoles trailed 21-0 but battled back thanks to timely touchdowns from freshmen – like Cook and WRs Emron Lane and Travis Rudolph. FSU took and then lost the lead in the fourth quarter.
Down 31-28 in the final minutes of the contest,Read more
Oregon will be faced with the daunting task of stopping a potent FSU offense without starting CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who suffered a severe knee injury during practice earlier this week.
The consensus All-American and Thorpe Award finalist will surely be missed by the Ducks as they face the Seminoles in the semifinal on Jan. 1. Ekpre-Olomu was the leader on defense, and was expected to be dealt the role of covering FSU's Rashad Greene, one of the best wide receivers in college football. But now that weight will be placed on someone else's shoulders.
Ekpre-Olomu had 63 tackles – one for a loss, two interceptions, 11 passes defended, nine pass breakups and a forced fumble this season, before his injury. Lots of production – and leadership doesn't find its way onto the stat sheet.
"At the end of the day, I don't wish that on no one and I wanted to compete against someone that's considered to be the best," Greene said. "So I'm sad that happened, but it doesn't change what our thought process...Read more
The road to the Rose Bowl has been an arduous one for FSU.
While the Seminoles' record is perfect, the season has been anything but that. Playing with the burden of defending a national championship while dealing with numerous off-field distractions, the Seminoles have made it to the College Football Playoff as the only unbeaten team in the country but have nearly seen their championship dreams dashed on numerous occasions.
In a season filled with plenty of drama, we thought it would be fitting to recount how FSU got to this point with the Top 5 Moments of the 2014 season.
With no shortage of memorable plays, whittling down the list was no easy task. There will be omissions – like Karlos Williams' touchdown reception off a deflection against Miami, Jameis Winston's touchdown run against Oklahoma State or FSU's fourth-down stop against Clemson in overtime. Our criteria was simply not just to pick the best plays, but the ones that held the most significance en route to FSU's 13-0 record....Read more
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher has reportedly been rewarded with a contract extension for a second season in a row.
FSU is expected to announce a new agreement that will make Fisher one of college football's highest-paid coaches, according to a report from Warchant.
Fisher signed a five-year contract extension last December that averaged out to $3,7650,000 annually before bonuses. The contract was largely incentive-based and also included a $500,000 raise to spread out among his assistant coaches.
Fisher is the country's 14th highest-paid coach in the country this season, according to USA Today.
The new deal, according to Warchant, calls for Fisher's salary to be in the top five among head coaches, which means he would make at least $5 million annually.
Fisher is 58-10 as FSU's head coach and has led the Seminoles to a 29-game win streak.

Aaron Thomas' time at FSU appears to be over.
The junior guard was declared ineligible for the remainder of the 2014-15 season last week and is now exploring other options, according to FSU basketball coach Leonard Hamilton.
"Aaron, right now, is going through the process of considering whether or not he can create some opportunities for himself in Europe," Hamilton said. "He's look and evaluating those opportunities. Hopefully he'll have a little more to say as he explores those opportunities."
Thomas – arguably FSU's top player on both ends of the court – was leading the Seminoles with 14.8 points per game. Guard Montay Brandon and center Kiel Turpin set career highs in the Seminoles' 93-77 victory over North Florida Wednesday, an encouraging sign for a team looking to replace Thomas' offensive output.
FSU (5-5, 0-1 ACC) is 1-1 since Thomas was declared ineligible.
The Seminoles dished out 25 assists and shot 58.6 percent from the floor against North Florida (6-5). Hamilton said...Read more
FSU lost former DT commit D.J. Jones to Ole Miss, slowing the Seminoles' recent red-hot pace on the recruiting trail.
The junior college prospect signed with Ole Miss Wednesday, ending a five-month commitment to FSU. Jones (6-2, 310) was ranked four stars by 247 Sports, which also listed him as the No. 1 JUCO defensive tackle in the country.
Jones was thought to be wavering from his pledge to FSU leading up to the JUCO signing period, but the news still stings a Seminoles squad that is short on interior defenders. The Seminoles are currently anchored inside by Eddie Goldman, but the junior is considered a first-round prospect and there's a report that he will declare for the NFL Draft at the end of this season. Jones would have at least offered much-needed depth if Goldman departed. Junior tackles Derrick Mitchell and Nile Lawrence-Stample, along with freshman Derrick Nnadi, are proven commodities that FSU expects to have back next season.
The past few weeks have been productive for...Read more

This girl is stunning, and reminds me of the gorgeous Norma A (as she is credited here). Met-Art really NEEDS to get many sets and movies of these two beauties together. They are like sisters separated at birth.
Hope there are may more sets and some movies of this beautiful girl still to come.
Just realized ... she has Norma J (Norma Joel) like hair which absolutely adds to the interest in the set.
Absolutely breathtaking girl!! I'm hoping for a long and prolific career for Adel. I fear I may spend a lot of $$$ looking for every image of her I can find!!
Really, really wonderful small breasts and a great body. Love the long, dark tresses. An immediate favorite who should appear more often.
an amazing beautiful chick, thank you for the debut, i know ADEL will be an instant success at METART. This teengirl has already appeared in others soft-core webbs, conquering the hearts and minds of helpless members. She looks inocent-like but her eyes and face are so enticing that is almost impossible to take her away from your mind. I bet a lot of sleepless nights for a lot of METART members. me too. Please more of her soon!!!!!!
I see someone else is as taken with this beauty as I am!

Early versions of two now-retracted stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency studies had been rejected before.
August 5, 2014|
The authors of a 2008 Nature paper have retracted it after new data watered down the conclusions.
June 10, 2014|
From human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers grow 3-D retinal tissue that can sense light.
April 2, 2014|
An investigating committee at Japan's RIKEN research center finds evidence of falsification and fabrication in two recent Nature papers that touted a new way to induce pluripotency.
March 31, 2014|
Stem cells supposedly derived by the new method of stimulus-induced acquisition of pluripotency may have come from mouse strains other than those claimed.
March 24, 2014|
Nearly two months after researchers published papers showing that they could induce pluripotency with an external stressor, the work's validity is still being challenged.

Once believed to be irrevocably differentiated, mature cells are now proving to be flexible, able to switch identities with relatively simple manipulation.

Pai and scientist Lingchong You, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and a member of Duke's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy and Center for Systems Biology, have discovered what they believe is a common root among the different forms of quorum sensing. In an article in the July 2009 issue of the journal Molecular Systems Biology, they term this process "sensing potential."
"Sensing potential is essentially the linking of an action to the number of cells and the size of their environment," You said. "For example, a small number of cells would act differently than the same number of cells in a much larger space. No matter what type of cell or their own quorum sensing abilities, the relationship between the size of a cell and the size of its environment is the common thread we see in all quorum sensing systems.
"This analysis provides novel insights into the fundamental design of quorum sensing systems," You said. "Also, the overall framework we defined can serve as a foundation for studying the dynamics and the evolution of quorum sensing, as well as for engineering synthetic gene circuits based on cell-to-cell communications."
Synthetic gene circuits are carefully designed combinations of genes that can be "loaded" into bacteria or other cells to direct their actions in much the same way that a basic computer program directs a computer. Such re-programmed bacteria would exist as a synthetic ecosystem.
"Each population will synthesize a subset of enzymes that are required for the population as a whole to produce desired proteins or chemicals in a coordinated way," You said. "We may even be able to re-engineer bacteria to deliver different types of drugs or selectively kill cancer cells"
For example, You has already gained insights into the relationship between predators and prey by creating a synthetic circuit involving two genetically altered lines
