I live in San Diego and travel frequently to China as a tour leader and travel consultant. Although I have been known to chow down on coconut grubs and ant eggs on my trips to China, when I'm cooking at home, my tastes run to European: Mediterranean, Provencal, Tuscan. I also like just about anything that Bobby Flay cooks up, and I love how he puts together a plate with American regional cuisines.
I enjoy the art of travel, savoring local food as a part of my experience. In America, the places that make a great destination for me again and again are New Orleans, Santa Fe, Seattle, Key West, San Antonio and New York. Abroad, I do love Provence, France; the Amalfi Coast; Santorini, Greece; Moorea, Tahiti; Hong Kong and then there's my bucket list...
My S/O lives in Las Vegas, so I spend quite a bit of time there but at home I unwind with my two Weimaraners and young Vizsla, do some gardening, reading, cooking, dog training and planning my (or someone else's) next trip.
Lasagna, grilled Pacific salmon, anything with white truffle oil, pastitsio, caprese salad, shrimp scampi, salmon mousse. Baja street tacos. Navy bean soup. A good red wine. Champagne. Lindt chocolates and Vosges caramels.

Cora Lee Armes Headrick, 89, went home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, July 10, 2013.
She was born June 30, 1924. She was of the Baptist faith. She made her home next door to her daughter, Helen Bullen, who devotedly cared for her for the past two years, with the help of her other children.
She had her beloved dog, Lady Bird. The children lovingly built her a small home, which she called her "dollhouse." She loved to sew, make quilts and paint.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Aaron and Florence Armes; three husbands: Robert Ooten, Clarence Zumstein and Charles Headrick; two sons: Leroy Ooten and Tony Ooten; brothers: English, Dave, Frank, Howard, Inman, Pat and Elmer Armes; and sisters: Flora, Dora, Lennie and Badie Armes.

As such, the produce industry veteran will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities, brand strategy and business development, said Randolph Breschini, president.
Steve Koran, who had been director of sales for Growers Express, left in mid-September to become director of retail sales at Tanimura & Antle Inc..
Breschini said he thought Johnson's experience would prove invaluable to Growers Express, which has undergone several changes to its management this year.
Breschini was named to the newly titled role of president in August, succeeding Butch Corda, who left last spring after 14 years as general manager.
A month earlier, Growers Express named Barry Eisenberg vice president of technical services.
Johnson has a long record in the produce industry.
Most recently, he was with Coral Gables, Fla.-based Del Monte Fresh Produce NA Inc., where he had worked as vice president of West Coast operations. He also worked as vice president of business development for North America, vice president of value-added and distribution and vice president of sales and marketing for North America.
Del Monte has since restructured its management.
Johnson also worked for Bakersfield-based Grimmway Farms as senior vice president of sales and marketing, general manager of fresh processing operations and vice president of international sales. Before that, he worked for The DiMare Co. in Indio and Palm Springs-based New Desert Produce.

What should I do? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I recently injured my foot. I'm afraid to get x-rays while pregnant, but I'm also afraid of ignoring my foot injury. What should I do? Of course, you'd rather be safe than sorry and skip getting your foot x-rayed, but you might be acting overly cautious. It's usually safe to get certain x-rays while pregnant. For your own peace of mind, visit your doctor first and see if a diagnosis can be made without an x-ray. If not, just make sure to alert the medical staff that you're pregnant so they can give you a protective shield. Most diagnostic x-rays (abdominal, dental, and chest x-rays) don't overexpose the fetus to radiation. The dangerous range for a fetus -- meaning where you risk mental retardation and eye abnormalities -- is 10 rads (rads are the unit of measurement for absorbed radiation). But it's rare for a single or a group of diagnostic x-rays to be more than 5 rads. A chest x-ray, for example, is 60 millirads. During the course of an average pregnancy, a mother and her fetus are exposed to 90 to 100 millirads just from natural radiation from sources like the sun. Also, your foot is nowhere near your reproductive organs, so that also makes the procedure less risky. Bump Dara Q&A: Are X-rays safe while pregnant? I am a x-ray tech and currently 5 months pregnant. All you have to do is take proper precautions for sheilding. If you get a x-ray and you are worried ask for 2 shields rather than 1. anrichards | Q&A: Are X-rays safe while pregnant? I am a chiropractor and we use x-ray in our office. Although we don't x-ray pregnant mamas, there are instances where an x-ray may be the prudent choice--such as a traumatic injury where a fracture is suspected. Luckily for you, your injury is far away from your uterus. Wear a full size lead apron while having the films taken. X-ray creates free radical oxidation in the tissue so, the best thing to do after getting a set of x-rays is to drink/eat high antioxidant foods/drinks. Also, let the doctor/x-ray tech know that you are pregnant and ask if they can be conservative with the number of films they take. Legally, they must take two views of an area but they do not have to take more than that. Many times, MDs will shoot 6 or 8 or so. One more thing, there are other ways to check for fracture such as percussion and using tuning forks. Ask your doctor about starting with conservative measures. cjstanleys | Want to participate?

Re-release of KÄLTER's epic 2010 debut album !
Quebec melodic death metallers KÄLTER, may be Canada's Best Kept Secret !!
'Spiritual Angel' is a progressive, melodic death metal gem, that has astounded the connoisseurs of metal and critics worldwide.
The band draws from the influences of Scandinavian metal bands like Children Of Bodom, incorporating melodic power riffs, folkloric elements, strong use of keys, and the same style of harsh vocals as their peers.
The music on 'Spiritual Angel' smells of Nordic efficiency, whether powerful orchestrations like Dimmu Borgir, or heavy use of keyboards, like the splendid synthesizer solos in "Darker by the Day" or "For the Last Time", worthy of Stratovarius.
'Spiritual Angel' is filled with beautiful arrangements ranging from magical guitar solos, brilliant lead keyboard work, progressive inventive drumming, and a stunning and epic vocal appearance from UNEXPECT's female singer 'Leilindel' on "Time Out of Mind."
'Spiritual Angel' was recorded in 2010 at Badass Studio (Neuraxis, Augury, Blackguard, Unexpect) in Montreal, QC and was produced by Jeff Fortin and KÄLTER.
Add to that a beautifully designed 12 page booklet, with lyrics, band photos, and album cover artwork by their compatriot Nicolas Francoeur. (Nordheim)
Get your hands on this epic masterpiece if you like bands like Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir, Kalmah, Wintersun, or Norther. This album is definitely for you !!
KÄLTER most recently performed last Fall at the Trois-Rivieres Metalfest 2011 with bands like Annihilator, Cavalera Conspiracy, Napalm Death, Atheist, Cryptopsy, Carnifex and many more. They have also shared the stage with bands like Kataklysm, Necronomicon, Catamenia, Blackguard and Norther.
Track Listing for 'Spiritual Angel' – Total Running Time 51 min.
1. Darker By The Day (9:30)
2. Time Out Of Mind (Featuring Leilindel From UNEXPECT) (6:05)

share your ambitions/goals/training here on a 'newbie ultra' thread........
ALISTAIR STEWART 4 wrote (see)
Welcome 'always trying', your in good company here, we have swung to more 'have dones' than 'wannabes' now the thread is mature however that just means there are a whole wealth of mistakes to learn from!
i think our Ali has summed it up nicely there agree with Tigs in that i still wont say 'im an ultrarunner' coz im waaaay down the bottom of the pile. i just hope that by sussing out the fastest shoe colour i will be able to hunt down little WiB on the trail one day
'---old fart'?...*cant spell the other long word*.....
....whos that then uncle Lirish?
cragchick: good luck for tomorrow - enjoy!Jeremy: I don't really like long distances on the road, so the amended course for TT this year really didn't suit me. That said, I'm seriously considering Comrades for next year (the only road ultra I want to do), so I'm going to have to get my legs/feet more used to long distances on road...Presently I'm being really sensible to try to get my posterior tibial tendon sorted out - doing all the exercises I'm supposed to do, and I took nearly two weeks off (no running!) and since then have been doing much reduced mileage. I also still have an "invisible blister" or pressure point just outside of centre on my left heel/Achilles tendon insertion area. Doesn't hurt at all if I run barefoot so I don't think it's Achilles tendonitis, but I have to stick on a donut shaped pad if I'm going to wear shoes (running or other).Query for the more experienced: given I've just come away from NDW50 and before that SWD50, how much fitness will I lose by running only 3-4 times a week and not doing any runs over 10-12 miles between now and the Lakeland Recce weekend (27-28 June)?Oggy: all being well, I'll see you at Lakeland 50. Good that you're marshalling - I've offered to help at NDW100 this year. Be interesting to see how the 100-mile people look at the half way point.
Not a great deal in three weeks, increase the intensity of the runs you do actually do and the fitness loss will be minimal. But there will be some.
However if its been that limited since the NDW three weeks ago the loss will be far greater also bearing in mind how much more difficult the Lakeland course will be over both the downs courses
GKD: oh well; I'll have to cope with that. It's a recce run 22nd/23rd (sorry, wrong date I gave before) after all; I'm not trying to go fast, just complete it. Getting the tendon settled is more important, or I won't be able to do the recce, never mind the Lakeland 50 itself. I've already given up on the idea of getting a decent time at Lakeland 50 (or any of my other events) this year because I've lost too much training, even if my ankle gets 100% back to normal - just finishing is my main goal now.
Debra go for Comrades! Did it last year and it was fantastic. Gutted I couldn't go for my back to back medal this year. Mind you I think this year it was v tough conditions.
Vicar - your enthusiasm is infectious! However, given that I have only been back running since Christmas following the birth of my second child (who is now 10 months), I think that in my case the obstacles are genuinely physical rather than mental! I really need to build a decent endurance base carefully, hence taking my time and waiting until October before attempting an Ultra...
LNandB, just make sure your core strength is in order - any muscle imbalances from pregnancy plus loss of core strength are a sure way to ensure injury along the way!! I learnt this the hard way after arrival of no. 1 child!
Thanks CragC. Yes, core strength is completely shot so I'm trying to work hard at that alongside my running. Do some plank and abs work pretty much every evening now and have come a long way, but still a long way to go! It is amazing how you feel the loss of core strength in your running, having never really been aware that I used those muscles before! I am actually finding that towards the end of my long runs (up to about 20/22 miles now) my legs are fine and it is my core and pelvic floor muscles that are feeling it! (Sorry for the TMI guys!)
Get thee to a Pilates class if you can LNandB, is what worked for me in the end. We are regularly discussing these kinds of issues over on the 'mums who run' thread in 'health and injury' forum. It started out as a thread for mums wanting to run in pregnancy and evolved from there once babies arrived (before I get told off for a forum biased against men!!) ... so PF, SI joint, and loss of core strength are regularly discussed (along with much other stuff!)and we are very friendly. But yes, core strength is vital. Those muscles help hold us upright and protect our spine - including our shoulders.
si(ned up for 1st ultra,born to run40 miler
Signed up for Thames Trot - now the hard work begins!!
Will look to do a marathon sometime between now and then...mainly as I think the longer miles are going to get really boring on my own until I find some new routes.
Also need to practise river / canal running as I mainly run on the road which is really easy in comparison!
always trying: just a note that the Thames Trot does involve a hilly bit away from the river, so you do need some hill training.
Personally I prefer trail to road.
Griff: good luck, train well.
yes, definitely give me trail over road. The 'dirty thirty' on Saturday was probably 50/50 split but was so well split up that you didn't really have a chance to get fed up with. Was a beautiful run, but definitely on the warm side. By the finish I definitely think I'd gone beyond sweating!!! A real mix of coastal road, coastal trail, woodland, obstacle course in woodland (shoe grabbing mud/dodging of felled trees kind of obstacles!!), more coastal road, stretch of riverside trail into a glen, then a 500m climb up over a pass and down the other side on technical trail, hard-packed trail, moorland bog and finally a road stretch to finish. Stunning scenery all around - as any who've visited west coast of Scotland will know. Lovely low key event run as a not-for-profit fundraising opportunity for local community, mainly walkers with 32 runners I think this year. I was third lady in, just scraping in under six hours with 5:59. Was 30 miles with 1152m of ascent.
Gutted - my roclite 268s are falling apart , had them a year and have no idea of mileage on them, probably 600+ or so I guess ...
cheers DB
Congratulations CragC. That is a great effort and sounds like a really fun race.
Hi All,
Can I ask a potentially stupid question about hill reps? I've been trying to fit in the odd hill reps session into my training, but was out doing them yesterday when the thought occurred to me that when I actually run an ultra I'm planning to walk up all the hills....
So, is it still useful to do hill reps for general power? Should I be practising walking up hills instead? What do others do? Should I actually mostly be practising running downhill in my hill reps sessions?
Bit confused!
Firstly, LNandB. What are you aiming to achieve by doing the hill reps? What made you start doing them?
Hill reps are for more than just helping you get up a hill faster. When compared to a normal flat interval session you have to work harder uphill for the same speed. You are having the extra force of not only needing to propel yourself forward but also upwards. The movement required to running up hill emphasises the knee lift as well.
Overall, you will increase your strength, speed and efficiency using hill reps. Not just your ability to go uphill a bit quicker. It will help towards being able to travel along the flat with a far better speed:effort ratio. So, yes. They are useful to keep in your training.
However, if you plan to hike hills in your race then one of the main points of training is specificity. If you can find worth hiking up then do that as well, if not simply include hiking into your long runs. Very race specific.
A point a lot of people miss is also practicing to run downhill. Plenty of people suffer in races with quad pain. Learn to run down hill efficiently. That doesn't mean faster is always better, but the trade off between speed and muscle damage. If you can find a hill to practice hiking reps of then you have a perfect session of hike up, run down. If not run up, run down and have a static rest. Start by allowing you effort:rest to be 50:50 i.e 3 mins effort = 3 mins rest.
Great advice WiB. And if you need inspiration for a downhill session, just watch a video of KJ and you'll be itching to get going.
I'd also suggest there's an important mental benefit to hill reps. Hill reps and speed sessions make me feel strong, when I feel strong I feel confident and when I'm confident I can do almost anything

Hope for the holidays: A helping hand for needy families
BY: Jennifer Lysiak, Lancaster Editor | December 27, 2012
LANCASTER- It's truly a Christmas miracle for those families who need a little extra help this year, because with the help of volunteers and donors, the Lancaster Youth Bureau each Christmas is able to provide toys, food, and clothing to families in need and cares for those otherwise forgotten.
Christmas is a time to think about others besides your family and at this time of year, Karen Schanne, social worker at the Lancaster Youth Bureau, is certainly doing that by spending her time planning and organizing the Christmas Distribution, a program that has run for more than 25 years and has helped a countless number of families.
The distribution was held Tuesday, Dec. 18 and 160 families in the Depew and Lancaster area received a full sized bag of groceries, three to four toys per child, gloves, mittens, and hats, books, and stocking stuffers to help make their Christmas a little brighter.
Schanne said the number of families served compared to last year increased by 15 families so the need is growing.
"We had a great response from the community," remarked Schanne. "We were able to do two toy pickups with the News Neediest so that's been wonderful and then all the collections that have been done in schools. It has been a combination of our community really coming together and students, local businesses, organizations that contributed to put all of this together."
Also, after holding the Christmas Tree Contest at the high school about 60 trees, more than half with decorations were donated from the students.
Co-chairs of the Christmas Tree Contest and seniors Marla Nixon and Kristen Borgus were in charge of calling different places to get trees donated at a lower cost.
Nixon explained that once the trees were delivered to the school, they were able to get the different school clubs to sponsor a tree, decorate it, and then the trees were judged. After that, the decorations were taken down from the trees and they were donated to the youth bureau.
"I can't imagine families not having a Christmas tree. It is just awful to think of," said Borgus.
"We really enjoyed doing this for a great cause," added Nixon. "It is very self rewarding."
Schanne said she enjoys organizing the program every year because of the stories that the families come in with.
"We have literally some moms who are so thankful, they're in tears," said Schanne. "We know it is a very humbling experience for them. They wish their situation was different, but having children you want to give your child the best Christmas that you possibly can so knowing we are a part of that is wonderful."
Schanne added it is also an opportunity for students to come together and for everybody to work hand and hand.
"It is about the spirit of giving and helping others," said Schanne. "It makes you appreciate what you're blessed with. If you can reach out and help others, it is a good doing."
Families also received cookies which were baked by students from the high school. Approximately, 4,000 cookies were baked by the students.
During the morning of the distribution, students from William Street School, the middle school, and high school, as well as faculty, advisors, teachers, administrators, and some retired teachers and nurses came over to the youth bureau to help wrap gifts and fill grocery bags.
In the afternoon, families received their donations and some students helped load trees and carried out donations to their cars.
"The students get to hear first hand from the recipients how it makes them feel," said Schanne. "So, what's nice about it is they do a lot of fund-raising for us and collecting from different projects and food drives and now they get to see the results of their efforts."
The Lancaster High School held several fund-raising projects to raise money for the distribution.
Sarah Shiver, senior, organized a coloring contest, which raised about $200.
Shiver explained they sold six different kinds of coloring sheets to students and faculty. The contest was based on creativity, neatness, and uniqueness. After the sheets were submitted, they were graded, and the winners received prizes. All the entries are currently on display at The Erie County Home.
"It is a really good thing when you can give back, because it makes you realize how blessed you are," said Shiver.
Another fund-raising project held at the school was called Jingle Links, which raised about $300 and roughly $2,200 was raised from Cash for Claus.
Co-Chair and senior Mary Carroll, organized Santa Grams where students and faculty for two weeks had the opportunity to buy a Santa Gram and send a holiday message to someone. The project raised about $200 for the youth bureau.
"Everyone has their own projects going on, but in the end we all come together for one really great thing for our community," remarked Carroll.
Lastly, President of the high school's National Honor Society, Carolyn Procknal, senior, said the society sponsored a food drive, donating approximately $1,500 worth of food.
"My favorite part of doing this is when we give the presents and the trees to the families, because they're so thankful, and what I really appreciate about this day in particular is we give our families an entire Christmas," remarked Procknal. "We give them food, we give them presents, we give them the tree, and stocking stuffers. It is every single thing they would need for Christmas. It is not just one aspect. All these different groups come together to give local families a holiday."
To learn more about the Lancaster Youth Bureau programs call 683-4444. The youth bureau, located at 200 Oxford Ave., Lancaster, is opened from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Other Pets at Tigerlily Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mousetashini - ADOPTED!, a Sterling Heights Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Sterling Heights, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Sterling Heights.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sterling Heights already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sterling Heights breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sterling Heights paves the way for another one to be saved.

Practice Being Positive. Agree with a friend that for one week, neither of you will complain, but rather focus on the good things in your lives. You may find it hard, and at the beginning, and can expect quite a bit of silence, but you'll notice that focusing on the positive will make you feel better. Not to mention the fact that you'll build a stronger immune system, and in the long run, will catch less colds! Remember, your life-cup is half full, not half empty. (face shot, looking)
Live With Your Eyes Wide Open. Color equals life. Breathe in the shades of the mountains and sky, landscape and cityscape. Know the sounds of leaves rustling, waves crashing, the smell of soil, the texture of bark. Create joy wherever you are - tell jokes, dress colorfully, pick flowers, or just leave them to grow. Love every minute. (white dress, arms open or cruise ship wind)
Push by Chamomile. You may already know the calming effects of chamomile tea, though have you sipped on a steaming cup of passionflower, lavender, licorice, or even catnip tea? They all work well to r-e-l-a-x you. To get the benefits of herbs use loose tea (1 teaspoon per cup of hot water) or tea bags, and steep for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
On the Move. In as little as 15 minutes, you can have more energy and a greater sense of calm, with a simple short stroll. Researches at Iowa State University, Ames, asked 20 men and women, (average age being 53), to walk on a treadmill for 15 minutes. Participants answered questionnaires before, during and after walking. After each 15-minutes walk, participants reported feeling more energetic, calmer and in a better mood. Bonus: Walking helps to reduce body weight, lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes. Grab your shoes and head out for a stroll, skip or pump some weights!
Let Your Ears Move You. Music will encourage you to exercise and will increase your pleasure while doing the activity of your choice. More then just a motivator, music will bust away your blues, improve your mood and self esteem. With your move elevated, and a new healthy self esteem, your energy will rise, giving you the feeling of exercising and going about your day with less effort.
Have Better Sex. Because of stress, poor nutrition and aging, many women and men find their desire for sex taking second place for their new interest in sleeping more often. The main cause of diminished libido is low hormone levels, according to Cynthia Watson, M.D. author of Love Potions: A Guide to Aphrodisiacs and Sexual Pleasures. Poor nutrition and stress can cause a drop in hormones, and for women, following menopause the ovaries not longer produce hormones. A loss of desire should never be accepted as inevitable, however, says Watson. "Sexual vitality is about more then just having good sex. It's about how you approach life. It's about being excited, and vital and taking part," she says.
Expert Advice: For women, the balance between estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, equal their degree of sexual desire. Good nutrition, supplemented with a quality multivitamin, combined with stress reduction, can help maintain balance.

Power Amplifiers
Mar 22, 2012 4:18 PM, By Bennett Liles
The IPR 3000 DSP from Peavey generates 1450W into each of two channels at 2ohms with an adjustable fourth-order high-pass filter and horn EQ on each channel. The Class-D amp features detented input controls and combination XLR and 1/4in. input connectors. The front panel LCD display allows setting independent assignable crossover points, delay, EQ presets, security lock settings, and other parameters. The unit is housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis weighing only 7.5lbs. and the amplifier is protected against thermal, DC, subsonic, incorrect loads, and under/over voltage with front panel LED indicators for fault conditions. A temperature controlled variable speed 80mm DC fan cools the unit.
An installation amplifier system primarily intended for live music environments, the CMX Series amps from QSC Audio have 1dB recessed and detented gain controls on the front panel and a tamper proof cover for them. The 3RU CMX 2000V sends 2500W into 4ohms and features a class H output section to reduce current draw and heat while all of the CMX Series amps have DC and output short protection. The front panel includes a power indication LED along with signal and clip indicator for each channel. A continuously variable speed fan provides back to front cooling air flow and a 10-position DIP switch on the rear panel is included for additional hardware configuration. The V in the model name designates the ability to directly drive 70V and/or 100V distributed loudspeakers.
The MA-3 multi-channel amplifier from Rane is a 3-channel unit designed for installation in paging systems, foreground music, and background music distribution. Its linear power supply and toroidal transformer allow it to be emission friendly in densely arranged equipment environments. The cooling system uses large aperture openings and low-velocity air to minimize noise while delivering 40W into 8ohms and 60W into 4ohms. Each of the three independent amplifiers has an LED level meter on the front of the rack chassis. The unit includes fast response limiters to handle up to 20dB overdrive levels and the Euroblock output connectors can connect with up to 12-gauge wire. Included are internally adjustable 80Hz high pass filters and the input gain controls are mounted on the rear panel.
With microphone and line level source mixing capability, paging and music on hold capability, the PMM120A from Speco Technologies has 120W RMS output power and it can insert an external processor such as a compressor/limiter or graphic EQ between the preamp output and the mix input stages. The manual muting terminals work on a contact closure to mute mic inputs 2 through 6 and all aux inputs. The amp also has a tape output on an RCA connector for recording and an RCA booster amp output, which is post tone and volume control for additional volume level in larger venues. A single switch selects aux 1 or mic 4 and a similar switch is used to choose aux 3 or mic 6 input. Speaker terminals include low impedance, 25V and 70V outputs.
The CVA100-2 is the first amplifier from Stewart Audio to incorporate a factory installed CobraNet option on an internal daughter card and it delivers 100W into each of its two channels using a half-rack sized chassis. The small amp has some big features including remote volume control and muting and a selectable high-pass filter, while the volume controls are screwdriver adjustable on the rear panel for additional tamper-proof security. The amplifier is class D and the current draw at 1/8 power is 35W. The rated frequency response is 65Hz to 20kHz with .1-percent THD and a signal to noise ratio greater than 90dB. Front-panel LEDs indicate power, signal presence, standby and clip. The body is rugged steel and it relies on convection for cooling.
Yamaha markets the Nexo NXAMP 4X4 with twin DSPs and the voltage and current on the amp's output is sensed with 24bit converters. The unit delivers 4000W into each of its four outputs and provides a second XLR on each input for linking. The optional network card in the slot on the back adds four digital inputs. The four Speakon output connections use an internal power relay for automatic output assignment and an RS232 port is available for firmware upgrades. The front panel has a 40-character by two-line display for making volume settings and other setup functions while LEDs indicate a range of fault conditions.
The AP6040 is the most powerful amplifier from Yorkville Sound with more than 2000W per channel at 4ohms. The rear panel presents a choice of input connectors with both 1/4in. and XLR while the output terminals are both binding post and Speakon. The 3RU chassis has front to rear cooling flow with variable speed dual fans and twin rotary level controls on the front panel along with DC current, load, thermal and breaker protection. A user defeatable peak limiter is located on the back panel next to the input jacks. The amp can be operated in stereo, mono or bridge mode and the front panel also provides power, protect, activity, and clip LEDs.

After having developed a passion for nature's purity and infinite colours, Lynne became a self-taught freelance illustrator in order to maintain her own creative approaches to illustrative work. Her favourite medium to work in is watercolour as it allows one to build up an image using successive layering before adding the finer details.
She takes inspiration from nature and the beauty of her surroundings, as well as from the work of the Pre-Raphaelites and medieval paintings, which remain an ongoing inspiration.
Lynne is also interested in photography and Art History.

As a recent convert to the whole "fitness thing" (aka working out, watching what I eat and how many calories I burn,) I can't help but comment on the Biggest Loser controversy that's currently blowing up the Twittersphere. In case you don't know, this season's show featured Rachel Frederickson's drastic weight loss of over 150 pounds! That's 60% of her starting body weight!!!
I know it's unhealthy to be overweight, but it's JUST as unhealthy to drop such an extraordinary amount of weight in a short period of time. Not only does it leave one open to injury, but can also lead to health problems including immune system suppression and bad skin, hair and nails and in some cases even an irregular heartbeat, muscle cramps and loss of bone mass.
People, rightly so, are absolutely outraged that Rachel lost so much weight in a short period of time. But, no one ever mentions that the entire purpose of The Biggest Loser is to, that's right folks, lose weight. Instead of chastising Ms. Frederickson for simply following her trainer's routine, we should be looking into the entire program.
It's unhealthy to force overweight individuals to go from zero to 60 and expect them to drop serious amounts of weight in a three month period (which is the amount of time allotted to contestants on the hit NBC show.)
Equally harmful to the show's brand is the fact that the face of the show, Jillian Michaels, claimed she had nothing to do with the extreme weight loss. Um, hello? You are the freakin' host of the show! And you're telling me that you had nothing to do with this transformation? I find that a little bit hard to believe. And, if it IS true, perhaps you should focus more time on your contestants and less time on your own personal brand.

6:45-7:15 City Hall, Street Level
Easier experienced than described, Air Dubai is a bustling seven-piece hailing from the burgeoning music scene of Denver. With disparate musical backgrounds and indiscriminate influences, the boys of Air Dubai have truly created something new: pure, melodic cacophony. Named Westword's Best Hip-Hop Band, this young band has the world ahead of it — working efficiently and successfully to catch up to it.
1100 Acoma St.
Denver, CO 80210
Category: Music Venues
Region: South Denver
Nominated in Electronic
12:00-1:00 Vinyl Rooftop
Halloween is the only day I care about.
Amazing Twin
Nominated in Rock — Indie
3:00-3:30 Broadways
Amazing Twin is a four-man guitar-based band that plays songs. Remember those?
The Big Motif
Nominated in Rock — Traditional
2:15-2:45 City Hall, Amphitheatre
A Denver-based power trio emerging onto the scene, the Big Motif plays rock music in a way that can be described in one word: naked. The band has molded a sound combining elements of many genres, including rock, blues, jazz and reggae that is stripped down and raw, for a powerful musical concept that appeals to a diverse demographic. With the recent release Does It Weigh Heavy, the Big Motif has been tapping into the Colorado music scene while continuing to expand its original repertoire. The always fresh and exciting live performances leave audiences with an experience they won't soon forget.
Peter Black
Nominated in DJ — Progressive
5:00-6:00 Vinyl Rooftop
A seasoned promoter, designer, DJ and record-store nerd, Peter Black has been a constant fixture in the Denver nightlife scene for over twenty years. Known for working with local bands, orchestrating music events and independent festivals or discovering new ways to foster local talent, Peter is a extremely versatile individual who aspires to "connect the dots" on multiple levels. Operating under the promotional platform Analog Space, Peter's primary focus is on championing Denver's music scene as well as providing an independent forum for local DJs and artists to cross-pollinate and perform. "Music without boundaries" describes his mission, futurism his modus operandi.
Nominated in Hip-Hop — Group
4:30-5:00 City Hall, Street Level
BLKHRTS is three MCs that were actually born in the pits of hell, but you can't put that on a birth certificate, so we will say they are from Denver. King FOE, Karma The Voice and Yonnas can not only rap circles around you, but they also would have no problem punching you in your shit if you got out of line. BLKHRTS is inspired in equal parts by Morrissey and E-40, Joy Division and Brotha Lynch Hung, Robert Smith and Robert Diggs. Their hearts are not black because they are jaded, cynical or any of that garbage; they are black because black is the combination of all colors in one, and that is beautiful, and the three of them are the most beautiful things you have ever laid your sore, bleeding eyes on (blkhrts.tumblr.com).
Boa and the Constrictors
Nominated in Blues
1:15-2:00 Dazzle
"I love blues music. Blues bands are not hard to find. But a band that can play blues music with complete precision and purity and in such a way that one watching is compelled to get up off one's ass is! Enter Boa & the Constrictors. Erik Boa's vintage blues vocals and stellar guitar work intertwined with the slammin' solid rhythm section of Jodie Woodward bass and Tim Molinaro drums combine to create a blues sound that is both contemporary as well as traditional. I witnessed it all at the Jazz Aspen Festival." — Ashton D. Allen, JAZZIZ Magazine
Nominated in Punk
5:15-5:45 Bannock Street Garage
We thought long and hard about how best to describe what Boldtype is in one hundred words or less. Besides being a band whose live shows play like an alcohol-induced sing-a-long in the drunk tank with friends and fans chanting along, we decided to write this like we write our songs, a five-way split. So here we go (with remaining words available): Mike: Why do you ask? Jeff: Fierce. Honest. Determined. Drew: Exciting. Melodic. Bodacious. Chris: Two words one hyphen "all-inclusive." Manuel: Fast and awesome.
Bop Skizzum
Nominated in Funk
6:00-6:30 City Hall, Street Level
We are on a mission to save the funk and get people on the dance floor. Our name is not Bob Skizzum, but Bop Skizzum. No one in this band is named Bob, so please get down with the bop!
Boulder Acoustic Society
Nominated in Americana
4:30-5:00 City Hall, Amphitheatre
Boulder Acoustic Society is a band of four young musicians ready to take audiences to the edge of American roots music. Americana, gospel, and the blues all combine with a muscular indie-rock edge to craft music that is rooted deeply in the past but pointed directly toward the future. The energy these players bring to the music results in an incredibly varied live performance. One tune may conjure up an apocalyptic hurricane while the next may take your hand and lead you directly through the eye of the storm.
Nominated in DJ-Progressive
4:00-5:00 Vinyl Rooftop
Boyhollow is an old goth DJ/producer that plays electro, indie, dubstep, rock and '80s music for hipsters, bass-heads, ravers, gays, party kids, trannies, meat-heads, woo girls and the occasional hippie. He doesn't believe in writing bios containing clichés about what an awesome DJ he is. He'd rather be making you dance. He is resident DJ and founder of Lipgloss, which celebrates its ten-year anniversary on Friday, June 24, with guest DJ Baio of Vampire Weekend. Lipgloss has won more than ten Westword Best of Denver awards, and boyhollow has been nominated for "Best DJ In Denver" nine times.
When does the MUSIC STOP??? Just a bunch of loud noise...someone should put a ban on this for next year. A true disturbance to the neighborhood!!!!
Is there an updated schedule somewhere? Some of the bands appear to have changed stages. Sauna, for one.
Thank you for a common sense story!. I am a 25 years old lawyer and now I am seeking a good woman who can give me real love, so I got a username loving on *****DaTeRIchSingles.CoM *** it's the most effective site in the world to connect with, date and marry successful, beautiful people.-Meanwhile, It's worthy a try.

If 'Badass Jet Black' isn't a cool enough colour for your PlayStation Vita needs, don't worry there are many more to come.
In fact we have them all right here in the wild and on display in a video straight out of TGS. They won't all be launch colours of course - or necessarily even come out at all - so expect the slow release tactic as per usual.
Badass Jet Black isn't the official name for the default colour by the way, we made that up.
If you're looking to accessorise your handheld beyond its base coat, have a look at the 16 Vita peripherals that were revealed last week.

Heidelberg to Introduce a Host of New Products for Postpress at drupa
April 26, 2012Both folders are operated from a console located on the feeder that features a clear layout and an ergonomic design for easy access. A graphic user interface guides operators step-by-step through the setup process, and an electronic self-learning mode offers additional support. Various monitoring functions that together ensure end-to-end quality control and greater production reliability, and that include a sheet travel monitor to check that all sheets comply with the specified length. A movable remote control for the 2nd and 3rd stations allows control of the folder downstream.
With up to three folding units and a maximum of 14 (Ti 52) and 16 (Ti 36) buckle plates, Heidelberg's Stahlfolder Ti series folders produce a wide range of fold types, including complex fold-gluing and gatefolds. The 3.15x3.94˝ Stahlfolder Ti 36 specializes in the very short fold lengths with numerous parallel and cross-folds that are typical of items such as pharmaceutical inserts, user instructions, advertising materials, and packaging inserts.
The Stahlfolder Ti 52 fulfills the requirements of medium-format customers, such as quick and easy processing of traditional advertising brochures, flyers, and signatures with eight A4 or A5 pages. It can fold flat formats ranging from 3.94x5.91˝ to 20.47x 33.07˝. A host of configuration options enable both folding machines to be adapted for individual jobs.
Oblong Feeding
On the high-output Stahlfolder TD94/112, an ingenious pneumatic twin lay system substantially increases output without increasing machine speed. Normally, the sheet is fed into the folding machine lengthwise, but with the new pneumatic twin lay system, it is rotated 90 degrees for oblong feeding.
The pneumatic twin lay system after the first folding station transports the sheets to a twin lay at the second folding station, where two sheets at a time are processed in parallel. As a result of the sheet's shorter feed length at the same machine speed, output is increased by around 30 to 40 percent based on format alone.
A Cutting Edge for One-Shift Operations
Connectable via ordinary house current wall outlet, the new programmable POLAR 56 guillotine cutter with hydraulic drive is an apt choice for commercial one-shift and digital printers. Equipped with a 5.5˝ monochrome (56 ECO) or 18.5˝ touchscreen display for the networkable version (56 NET), the small-format POLAR 56 combining POLAR's legendary reliability, build quality, and ease of use in a new, small-format size will be launched at drupa 2012.
Digital Book Trimming
Digital book production down to run lengths of 1, combined with commercial print quality trimming at a reasonable cost has been a challenge in the industry. Choices for trimming have been either expensive book trimmers, or cutting on standard guillotine cutters. The latter raises quality issues due to the clamp crushing the spine, unless a special clamp is used.
At drupa, Heidelberg and POLAR will show the new BC330 book trimmer that is ideally suited for digital book production in combination with single clamp perfect binders, such as Heidelberg's Eurobind 600. The BC330 is capable of cutting books from raw sizes of 4-3/4x 6˝ to a maximum of 12x13˝ with a thickness per cut of 2˝. Multiple books in a lift also can be cut, improving productivity to a maximum of 240 blocks of books per hour.
Cutting Automation
POLAR also will launch a new version of its "N" series guillotine cutting systems. Evolving from the highly successful X series cutters, "N" series cutters from 78cm (30˝) to 176cm (69˝) incorporate all of POLAR's industry leading technology, including hydraulic clutch with worm gear drive design with either a 22˝ (N Pro) or 18.5˝ (N Plus) color touchscreen display. These cutters combine POLAR's latest networking capability to drive cut programs from impositioning software in prepress directly to the cutter through CompuCut 5.0.
Production information from the cutter can be retrieved back to the MIS system, and animation of all cutting functions promotes ease-of-use, shortens makeready, and minimizes waste. Also available is an OptiClamp that provides for improved cut quality of compressible or wavy stocks such as synthetic labels. The POLAR N92 now also boasts a front downholder feature for small cut product.
Label Cutting Production
POLAR label cutting solutions will also see some improvements in time for drupa 2012. The speed of the DC-11 die cutting system increases from 16 cycles/minute to 20 cycles/minute, for example, and a belt conveyor system is now available following the integrated banding unit. The DCC-10 system adds a LT-N loading table and improves die cutting for applications with a cardboard underlayer. The square-cut label system SC-10 adds an integrated airboard lift and can incorporate a BM-105 multistation bander. The SC-25 square-cut system adds log-banding capability for applications or fulfillment requiring larger stacks of labels.
All-Purpose, Short-Run Finishing Options
For the short-run finishing of packaging, commercial and digital materials, the KAMA ProCut 53 die-cutter and the new KAMA ProCut 76 with hot foil boast new features including an Auto-Register system that catches slight register differences and quickly adjusts every single sheet to a printing mark, ensuring that embossing, die cutting, and foiling are exact on every sheet, and giving digitally printed sheets a high-end finish.
New applications for the KAMA ProFold 74 folder-gluer include a creasing, cutting and perforating unit. The new module integrates these operations in the workflow prior to folding and gluing, and works perfectly for jobs such as creased and folded greeting cards and blanks, cut and glued displays, and perforated response cards. Several accessories for short run (digital) packaging are available as well, including a lock bottom device and a pre-breaker. The new KAMA Job Planner 2.0 SW facilitates makeready by analyzing the carton design file and delivering a makeready job ticket procedure.
More To Come
As the only manufacturer to offer equipment, workflow, and services covering the entire value-added chain for packaging printing, Heidelberg will reinforce its focus on the packaging market at drupa 2012 with solutions that will enable packaging printers to offer an expanded range of applications to their customers. Among these are the compact, flexible Diana X 80 folding carton gluer; the versatile Varimatrix 82 CS diecutter; and the short-makeready, high-performance Dymatrix 106 Pro with new chase changer. Details about these and other packaging innovations will be covered a forthcoming press release.

summer party, Cuban style
(plantains with crab caught that day)
A highlight of our weekend was attending a Cuban pig roast at the summer home of friends on Lopez Island; the third they'd had this summer. According to them, it's what Cubans do when they get together. The pig was brined for two days prior to cooking. The boys and I were a bit faint hearted at seeing the pig so we stuck to rice and beans; my mother in law and Alexi report that it was delicious.
Lots of people, laughing, music, eating, beach play...a good time.

mmmm!!!! looks divine!!!! there are often whole roasted pigs here for various festivals. I remember the first time we saw one, my oldest son must have been about two and half or three. I was a little worried that it would be too much for his sensitive nature to handle. And then I was a little shocked when he was first completely fascinated and then threw a temper tantrum because he didn't get to eat it.

The sangria and fried plantains are among my most favorite things to enjoy!! I always seek them out when I am in Aruba. Another Cuban favorite of mine is flan, dripping with caramel sauce.
I agree with you about the pig....in fact I have to go to a 50th birthday party pig roast in Sept. and am also feeling quite faint hearted at seeing the pig too!! Looked like a good time was had by all. Love the photo of the boys on the boat.. xoxo - Monday, August 24, 2009 at 11:19:00 AM PDT

Opinionated Guide to Disney's Hercules
Opinionated Guide to Disney's Hercules
table of contents
We continue with Herc finding an island. Apparently Pegasus knows exactly where to go; isn't that convenient. There are a lot of destroyed statues around. Herc hears laughter and finds a bunch of Nymphs around a pool. He hears goat noises and sees the ass of a goat, so naturally he picks it up to reveal... a saytr. After getting out of Herc's grasp, we get some Komedy! as he chases after the Nymphs, only for them to turn into plants. And hit him.
Apparently, this saytr is Philoctetes, who is voiced by Danny Devito. Ahh, the great hero teacher and comic relief sidekick, all in one package. How
of you. Oh, and this is certainly a film that needs
comic relief; it'd be too dark if Philoctetes was a serious character. Naturally, we will call him Phil, because then we can better pretend that this isn't Greek Mythology.
Herc asks Phil to teach him to be a hero, but apparently Phil is retired. Which he states with a failed Two Words routine that most assuredly won't become a tiresome running gag throughout this movie. Herc asks if Phil has had a dream, and all of a suddenly, I'm getting
flashbacks as
this somehow makes Phil stop and explain things
Phil takes him inside his house to show off various statues and mementos. Apparently, this film is saying that he trained most of the known mortal heroes of Greek Mythology, from Odysseus to Perseus. Sure, none of these people lived at the same time as each other, but why not have them all trained by this odious comic relief? It's a kid's movie; it's not like they have to
or anything. After all, Phil just named dropped Cleopatra;
she lived in the times of Greek Mythology, right?
Anyway Phil says that none of them could "go the distance."
Bitch, you did not!
I am now officially exercising my previously reserved right to hold forth at length about this movie not sticking to Greek Myth canon.
Having Phil say this shits on
Achilles? All that being badass and embodying the spirit of fighting Greeks? Yeah, fuck him; he didn't measure up to
standards. Perseus? Obviously killing Medusa and being so badass that the Gods enshrined his likeness into the stars just wasn't enough for
But the biggest crime is Odysseus, my personal favorite mortal in all of Greek Mythology. Let's see, he's one of the smartest mortal men in all of the Mythos. He married one of the cleverest women in the Mythos. He was partially responsible for winning the Trojan war. He then spent the next 10 years desperately trying to get home while the gods and whatnot threw obstacle after obstacle in his path. And when he got past all that, he found a bunch of assholes in his house,
abusing his hospitality
, so
he and his grown son
got together and
fucking murdered all of them
. The man was so badass that his dog, an animal he only knew for a little while before he left for war, managed to live for
twenty years
because he
refused to die outside of the man's presence!
Oh, and who was Odysseus's biggest fan?
, the Goddess of War and Wisdom. But no, that's not good enough for Philoctetes. Obviously he knows better than
You want to make the In Name Only version of Greek Mythology? Fine.
But don't you fucking dare to shit on Odysseus just to make Hercules seem better by comparison!
Back to the film, such that it is. Phil admits that his dream was to train a hero so great that he'd get a constellation. But Perseus got- oh, right,
They Just Didn't Care
. Moving on, Herc claims that he's different from them, that he can "go the distance." Then, Herc shows off his super-strength.
Herc admits that his father is Zeus, which Phil doesn't buy. Why not, Perseus was- oh right,
They Just Didn't Care
. Moving on, Phil starts to sing. Was it really necessary for us to hear Danny Devito sing in this film? The song starts off with Phil being against it, but one lightning strike from Zeus is sufficient to change his mind. Enter:
The Training Montage
The montage is pretty standard, as training montages go. But unlike the montage in Mulan, this one features a song sung by a guy who can't sing. Oh good. Also, unlike Mulan, it doesn't really do any character development. Herc's personality and character isn't shown or explored; all that changes is his build. It doesn't really show his determination or anything really. He starts out the montage as a beanpole and ended it with massive muscles. It isn't a character moment; it's a power-up.
Oh, and it has pointless pop-culture references. They even steal a bit from the Karate Kid. Why, I don't know.
What's funny is that this montage would seem to be a much more sensible place to talk about "going the distance," since it at least involves Herc doing something more than just walking. But no, we get Danny Devito failing at singing.
So, after training Herc into a muscular "hero," they decide to head to Thebes. As they're flying to get there, they hear a scream from the ground and investigate. They land to find a woman being accosted by a centaur that is strangely blue.
And just to show that Herc hasn't stopped that whole "carelessness" thing, he charges in specifically against Phil's advice. He orders the centaur to let her go, but oddly enough,
tells him that she doesn't need help. She says that she's "in distress," but she can deal with it.
And in one of the most WTF moments in the whole movie, Herc says that she may be "too close to the situation," acting like a police officer. Are... are they actually referencing cops who are dealing with battered women?
As a joke?
Is that what these writers are doing? Because that's what it looks like.
Anyway, after... that, the Centaur knocks him away. Herc tries to find his sword, but pulls out a fish. Because that's what the first real action moment of this film needs: Komedy! After getting slapped around a bit more, Phil tells Herc to "use his head." Not only do they do the thing so obvious that I'm not even linking to the trope description, it takes way too long for it to happen to qualify as an actual joke.
So, we get some more slapstick and pop-culture thrown in as Herc deals with the Centaur, while Phil tries to put the moves on the "damsel." She's not biting though.
After Herc spends way too long and does way too much Loony-Toons-inspired horseshit to the Centaur, it goes down. And drowns, but it's off-camera, so it doesn't count as a grisly murder. Phil tries to offer Herc some advice, but he ignores him in favor of the girl, who's name is Megara. Naturally, this is instantly shorted to Meg, because then we can better pretend that this isn't Greek Mythology.
This conversation is very odd. Her animation and line delivery is seductive and hyper-sexualized. But her delivery is so over-the-top alluring that it sounds like she's parodying seductiveness for sarcastic effect. And the actual words she uses are dismissive and condescending. Are they saying that she's attracted to Herc but doesn't want to admit it? Is she being passive-aggressive towards him? Can she simply not stand him and is just toying with him? Is that just how she normally talks? Or are the writers simply incapable of communication through the medium of film?
Oh, and she calls Pegasus a "Pinto." Swell.
Phil and Pegasus don't like her. Phil, because she's a distraction. And Pegasus because... did he have an actual reason? I'm guessing simple jealousy, but that's a strange thing for a horse to be jealous over.
So they fly off to find the plot. Meanwhile, Megara goes off into a dark part of the forest where she meets a rabbit and a chipmunk. She recognizes them as Pain and Panic, which means that Hades shows up. He's kind enough to exposite that she was there to get the Centaur on Hades's side, but that didn't seem to work out. Due to her failure, he is tacking on 2 more years to her "sentence." Oh, I don't like where that is going.
Meg says that it was all Hercules's fault, dropping his name. Well, after some pointless padding disguised as Komedy!, Hades drags Pain and Panic to him and ask for an explanation for why Herc is alive when they reported him dead. Wait a minute. Hades is the lord of the
; shouldn't he have been the
person to know when Herc died? Why wouldn't he confirm the kill by finding Herc's soul or whatever? It's not like these two nimrods are particularly skilled or capable or something.
Anyway, Hades's anger burns down the forest. Because you know, Tartarus and Hades were so well known for their flames. Rather than ridding the movie of these two bumbling inepts, he simply draws them and Meg together while he ominously says that they're going to fix the problem this time.

The Hero
was awesome.

Hell, that whole thing about Hades not knowing Hercules was dead was so dumb they Retconned it in the Animated Series.
Emperordaein 19th Nov 11
Saying that none of them could 'go the distance' is wrong, but to be fair... the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans did consider Hercules better than the rest. That's why he was the only one of them to become an Olympian after his mortal life ended. Achilles was the best warrior at Troy and fought their for 10 years with 1000 . Hercules conquered Troy a generation or two before that with 6 ships in less than a year. Jason and Odysseus sailed all over the eastern Meditteranean between Itally and the Black Sea. Hercules sailed as far west as the Atlantic past Spain, as far east as India and as far south as Ethiopia. Perseus killed Medusa, Atlanta killed the Calydonian Boar, Theseus killed the Minotaur and Bellerophon killed the Chimeral. Hercules killed the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, the Erymanthean Boar, Giants, the Cretan Bull etc..

Luis Negrón's debut collection reveals the intimate world of a small community in Puerto Rico joined together by its transgressive sexuality. The writing straddles the shifting line between pure storytelling and satire, exploring the sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking nature of survival in a decidedly cruel world.
"Hilarious and heart-wrenching, provocative and pitch-perfect, each story is a tiny, transgressive explosion. I feel inadequate to the task of expressing just how wonderful this book is...read it slowly, and listen close; here is a master storyteller at his finest."—Justin Torres, author of We the Animals
"Negrón is perhaps the most intimate and unsuspected heir to Manuel Puig."–Antonio Morato, author of Lima y Limón
"These nine stories are rude, beautiful, funny, tender, sarcastic but, above all, human."–Guillermo Barquero, Sentencias inútiles
"Like a cross between Manuel Puig and Luis Rafael Sánchez, the author of these stories shows us the tenderness, the love, and the bravery of those who decide to embrace their identity, whatever it happens to be."–Margarita Pintado Burgos, Desvalijadas

San Antonio-based Tesoro Corporation ( TSO ) recently announced that it will be offering $925 million of senior unsecured notes. The offering is divided into two parts - $450 million 4 1/4% senior notes due 2017 and $475 million 5 3/8% senior notes due 2022. Tesoro will be using the net proceeds from the offering along with available cash to repurchase all of its outstanding 6 5/8% senior notes due 2015 and 6 1/2% senior notes due 2017. The remaining proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes, such as funding the retirement of outstanding tender offer notes, working capital, capital expenditure, and the refinancing or repayment of debt. Tesoro expects the proceedings to be complete on September 27, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. Tesoro Corporation ended the second quarter of 2012 with long-term borrowings of $1,350 million. The debt-to-capital ratio was 23.4% at the quarter end. With the issuance of $925 million of debt, the debt-to-capital ratio will increase to 34.0%. We also expect interest expenses to increase with the sale of the new notes. The company is involved in a number of high-return projects that are expected to be cost effective. These projects will not only boost the company's competitive position among its peer group, but will also provide significant earnings and cash flow growth visibility. Following a hiatus of more than two years, Tesoro has recently reinstated its dividend payout. The company also announced a $500 million share repurchase program. We believe that the resumption of dividend and the buyback authorization not only highlights Tesoro's commitment to create value for shareholders but also underlines the company's confidence in its future earnings momentum. Additionally, a major advantage for the company is the scale and diversification benefits afforded by its portfolio of seven refineries. Recently, in a bid to form the largest U.S. oil-refining realm in the Pacific Basin, Tesoro Corporation has agreed to acquire Carson refinery and associated business units from London-based BP plc ( BP ). Overall, we believe Tesoro is well positioned going forward and view it as an attractive investment. We maintain our long-term Outperform recommendation, supported by a Zacks #1 Rank (short-term Strong Buy rating).
