Togame is the self-proclaimed master strategian that was assigned to collect the Twelve Deviant Blades. She has a usually upbeat and tsundere personality along with the ability to analyze almost any situation and come up with an effective plan of action that usually results in complete victory.
Togame is the daughter of one of Shichika's father's victims, a man who set out with a cryptic goal of "righting history". Years after her father's death, Togame sets out to find the current head of the Kyotouryuu fighting style, which happens to be Shichika Yasuri, to aid her in continuing her father's goals.
Togame is a character in the Katanagatari series of light novels written by Nishio Ishin, a popular Japanese writer, with illustrations by Take. She also appears in the anime series of the same name which was created by White Fox and directed by Keitaro Motonaga. Togame, voiced by Yukari Tamura, makes her first appearance in the anime series during Episode 1 "Plane, the Absolute".
After finding Shichika and his sister, Nanami, on a deserted island, Togame convinces Shichika to join her search for the Deviant Blades by making him an offer: his assistance in exchange for the right to fall for her. Shichika accepts and the two begin their journey.
On her death bed, Togame reveals that she had actually planned on killing Shichika out of revenge for her father's death and that all of her actions towards this point were carefully planned to achieve her goals. However, she says that her feelings toward Shichika were real and her last words are for Shichika to allow her to fall for him.

Very good
We payed separately for breakfast which seemed to baffle staff (snd I felt very embarrassed that we didn't include breakfast on our booking). We ended up paying around £23.00 for a full English each and a cup of tea (prebookers for breakfast were told to help themselves to the buffet breakfast laid out where as we were asked to pick.) It was lovely but very expensive.
The restaurant The staff The overall decor
The bedroom walls are a bit thin!
The hotel was beautifully presented and facilities were great.
No real bad thing to say other than occasionally hearing the door in the hall shut in the night
helpful friendly staff Evening meal was excellent
Breakfast poor standard and selection.
Friendly staff and very accommodating.
Bathrooms was very small!
The staff were brilliant. Great service all round. The rooms were absolutely lovely and I would definitely return!
Shower was feeble,water pressure no good,no double bed when promised one,only one dressing gown
Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Location was great.
Bed was a bit hard for our liking.
Modern rooms and good facilities - close to M1 and still quiet
Friendly staff. Made us very welcome. food excellent, delighted with room, spotless hotel. Would recommend to anyone. We would definitely return to this hotel.
Loved the food and wine!
Waiter Staff were not as good as the food
The hotel had everything a good hotel should have. The breakfasts were excellent
The location of twin rooms is discriminatory. If you have any problem with stairs make sure you mention it!
This was our third visit to this hotel and I have to say that the staff are exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. It is spotlessly clean and excellent value for money (especially their weekend special!)
It can be quite a long walk to your room which might be difficult for those with a disability but I am sure an arrangement could be made to have a room close to reception.
Room. Wi-fi.
Grumpy barman who challanged me when I asked for my glass to be filled to the top. He was quite rude. TV limited to freeview. Only de-caff coffee left in room. Room service too expensive.
I loved the huge bed in the executive suite.
One of the suites in the hotel was quite small
Very clean, free wifi. Not charged extra when child was seen to be 14. Free bottled water, crisps, and chocolates each day. Able to eat in more relaxed lounge/bar area if preferred rather than more pricey restaurant
A little lacking in extras like shower cap, body wash etc so maybe not the best for an unscheduled stop. The lift wasn't working when we arrived but a member of staff helped us with luggage up two flights. Fixed the next day, though Although positioned right next to the M1, it is between two junctions and so takes longer to get there than it looks
Regular visitors: location suits us very well
A room adjacent to a disco!
Staff and especially one of the receptionist. nice and warm hotel, very clean and nice rooms. staff helped us to contact my daughter for picking up several times. Thank you.
I rang the hotel to make sure there were disabled room and facilities. I wrote it on booking.com but info was not passed on. too many steps. staff changed room nearer to reception and less steps but there was a bath and not a shower. Nice staff made up for inconvenience.
Awesome shower, comfy rooms, nice bar, lounge and food. If you have car nice base for exploring area.
Nothing wrong with the hotel, maybe just a bit of an isolated location.
I ask to cancel my third night which was granted. But the refund was my three nights divided by 3 but cause my stay included the weekend when rooms were more expensive I felt cheated.
There was a party on the night we stayed which carried on until the early hours. We felt that our room could have been in a more suitable place in order to not cause so much of a disturbance.

Candidate Information for the 03/17/15 Special Primary Election
The candidate filing period for the March 17, 2015 Special Primary Election is now closed. This is a special election to fulfill an unexpired term for the State Senate 7th District.
Prior to the "Top-Two Open Primary Act", candidates running for partisan office appeared only on their own party ballot. The top vote-getter from each qualified political party and any candidates who qualified using the independent nomination process would move on to the General Election.
Now, under the Top-Two Primary, only the two candidates who receive the highest and second-highest number of votes cast at the primary shall appear on the ballot as candidates at the ensuing General Election, even if they are the same party.
The "Top-Two Open Primary Act" allows all candidates running, regardless of their party preference, to appear on a single combined ballot. Voters can vote for any candidate from any political party. The "Top-Two Open Primary Act" does not affect the Presidential Primary and County Central Committees, which are still party-specific contests.
Non-partisan offices such as Judges, School Board, Special District officers, City officials and the Superintendent of Public Instruction would remain open to all eligible voters.
What's different with the Top-Two Primary?
You don't have to be registered by party to participate in the Primary Election.
- You can vote for a candidate of any party preference.
- You can split your votes between candidates of various parties for different offices.
- You can "write-in" a qualified candidate.
- You don't have to declare or affiliate with any political party.
- The two candidates with the most votes will appear on the General Election ballot even if they are of the same party preference.

Viewpoint: How hackers exploit 'the seven deadly sins' By Prof Alan Woodward Department of Computing, University of Surrey (Courtesy of: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20717773)
Cybercriminals are more than willing to exploit instincts which make users vulnerable
The phenomenon of "social engineering" is behind the vast majority of successful hacking.
This isn't the high tech wizardry of Hollywood but is a good, old-fashioned confidence trick.
It's been updated for the modern age, and although modern terms such as "phishing" and "smishing" are used to describe the specific tricks used, they all rely upon a set of human characteristics which, with due respect to Hieronymus Bosch, you might picture as the "seven deadly sins" of social engineering.
Apathy: To fall for a confidence trick, or worse, we assume others "must" have taken the necessary steps to keep us secure.
Sadly this leads to a lack of awareness, and in the world of the hacker that is fatal. When we stay in a hotel and we programme our random number into the room safe to keep our belongings secure, how many of us check to see if the manufacturers override code has been left in the safe?
It's nearly always 0000 or 1234 so try it next time.
Curiosity: Humans are curious by nature. However, naive and uninformed curiosity has caused many casualties. Criminals know we're curious and they will try to lure us in. If we see an unfamiliar door appear in a building we frequent, we all wonder where it leads.
We might be tempted to open it and find out, but in the online world that might just be a trap waiting for an innocent user to spring it. A colleague built a website that contained a button that said Do Not Press, and was astonished to find that the majority of people actually pressed it.
Be curious, but exercise a healthy degree of suspicion.
Gullibility: It is often thought of as a derogatory term, but we all suffer from this sin. We make assumptions.
We take others at face value, especially outside of our areas of expertise. Put a uniform on someone and we assume they have authority.
Give an email an official appearance by using the correct logo and apparently coming from the correct email address, and we might just assume it's real, regardless of how silly its instructions might be.
All of this can be easily forged online, so make no assumptions.
Courtesy: We quite rightly all teach our children to be polite. However, politeness does not mean you should not discriminate.
If you do not know something, or you feel something doesn't feel quite right, ask. This principle is truer than ever in the online world, where we are asked to interact with people and systems in ways with which we are quite unfamiliar.
If someone phones you out of the blue and says they are from your bank do you believe them?
No. Phone them back.
And by the way, use a mobile phone as landlines can remain connected to the person who made the call in the first place and so whilst you might think you're phoning the bank on a valid number you're just talking to the person who called you.
Greed: Despite what we'd like to think we are all susceptible to greed even though it might not feel like greed.
Since its inception, the very culture of the web has been to share items for free.
Initially this was academic research, but as the internet was commercialised in the mid-1990s, we were left with the impression that we could still find something for nothing.
Nothing is ever truly free online. You have to remember that if you're not the paying customer, you're very likely to be the product. In the worst case, you might find that you have taken something onto your machine that is far from what you bargained for.
Many pieces of malware are actively downloaded by owners unaware that the "free" product contains a nasty payload, even if it also appears to do what you expected of it.
Diffidence: People are reluctant to ask strangers for ID, and in the online world it is more important than ever to establish the credentials of those whom you entrust with your sensitive information.
Do not let circumstances lead you to make assumptions about ID.
For example, if someone from "IT support" calls you and asks for your password so they can help fix your problem, how do you know they haven't called everyone else in the building first until they found you who has really got a problem?
This is a well-known attack. If someone has a problem with proving who they are, you should immediately be suspicious.
Thoughtlessness: Thinking before you act is possibly the most effective means of protecting yourself online. It is all too easy to click that link.
How many of us when reading an apparently valid link in an email would bother to check whether the link is actually valid or whether instead it takes you to a malicious site.
It's horribly easy to make links look valid so try hovering your cursor over the link for a few seconds before clicking to see what the real link is: the true link pops up if you give it a moment.

World AIDS Day Dec 1st December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day recognised by millions in more than 190 countries around the world. It's a day devoted to raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and strengthening support for HIV positive people and those who are affected by AIDS. This year will be a celebration of love and life, commemorating those who have gone because of AIDS and remembering their love and life with partners, family, significant others and all those who have affectionate memories. The Day also re-focuses our attention on the rising diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS, not only around the world but in Queensland, in 2011 over 195 Queenslanders were diagnosed with HIV. This is down from 2010 (205 infections) but is still the second highest recorded figure. Queensland Positive People Executive Officer, Simon O'Connor, said the theme for 2012 is HIV Is Still Here and reflects the need for everyone to talk with family and friends about HIV. "It is still important to talk about not contracting and not transmitting HIV," Mr O'Connor said. "It is still important to talk about HIV testing and it's still important for everyone to know their HIV status so that HIV has nowhere to hide. It is still important to talk about all these things because, through our conversations, we maintain our determination to fight HIV and reject stigma and discrimination. HIV is still here. The choice is yours." Dr Darren Russell, head of Queensland HIV Ministerial Advisory Committee and front line HIV worker based in Cairns, advised QNews that they are promoting the same primary message" "HIV is still with us and we all need to work to reduce the stigma that surrounds this infection." He said. A World AIDS Day celebration will be staged in Brisbane this year at Trinity Church, just opposite the Valley Pool in Fortitude Valley. The Trinity celebration will opens with drinks and conviviality under the trees from 5.00pm and the commemoration is on from 6.00pm There are a number of other events held throughout Queensland on and leading up to World AIDS day for more details and events details visit http://www.worldaidsday.org.au EVENT GUIDE QLD 2012 World AIDS Day BBQ

Hi: -6° Lo:-13°
A CHOIR of friends from Stratford are preparing to take on the world - just months after getting together.
The Amicantus Singers, who only formed in October, will take to the stage at this year's Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in North Wales, which attracts stars of the calibre of Bryn Terfel, Alfie Boe and the late Luciano Pavarotti.
The 15-strong choir, which has been accepted in the mixed choir section at July's Eisteddfod, are already busy rehearsing twice a week in their musical director's Stratford home. They will perform three songs in the opening round of the competition.
Choir member Stuart Kocan-Payne said the choir was shocked, but delighted, after being accepted to perform on the Royal International Pavilion stage.
He said: "It's amazing to be honest. We only formed in the October of last year, although we have all been singing for many years and were all members of Stratford Musical Theatre Company.
"When we formed we had an idea of entering a few competitions and obviously knew about the Llangollen International Eisteddfod so I made a few enquiries and we thought we'd give it a try. However, if we are honest we never thought we had any chance of being accepted."
Stuart fired off an e-mail requesting information on the entry requirements.
"We actually didn't think we would get in but I sent in the entry and was delighted when we soon had a reply saying the Eisteddfod director was happy for us to enter the mixed choir class provided our Mp3 recording, which we had to send with our entry form, was up-to-scratch.
"We sent the recording again with very little confidence we would be accepted. Only to get a reply saying we were in which left us flabbergasted but over the moon. We then thought we better get down to some hard work and have been rehearsing ever since."
Amicantus, which loosely translates from Latin as 'friends who sing' - will have just 12 minutes to impress the judges, and will certainly be showcasing their versatility.
They will open with a sacred 16th century Christmas carol called Gaudete, which means Rejoice in Latin, and which was actually a hit for Steeleye Span in 1973.
The choir, the brainchild of musical director Maddy Evans, will follow it with Adiemus, written by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, which actually has no real lyrics but instead syllables and words invented by Jenkins.
And they will complete their set with Take That's chart-topper Rule The World.
Stuart said the choir - which includes everyone from teachers to charity workers - is not even thinking of the possibility of making it to the second round.
He added: "We may fall down technically at the end of the day but what we will do is bring out the joy of singing. We are just delighted and so thrilled to have been given the chance to perform at Llangollen.
"Rehearsals aren't easy as we currently only have the lounge of our musical director's house. But we are working hard and also looking at designing a uniform so we all look the part.
"And of course we have to think about transport, accommodation and a host of other logistical problems that need addressing before the competition gets underway."
Eisteddfod Musical Director Eilir Owen Griffiths said Amicantus had earned their invitation.
He added: "Amicantus may be a new choir but after hearing them sing we were delighted to be able to offer them a place.
"The Eisteddfod is a truly global event that has been going since 1947 and that's because it sets high standards but if you can meet those standards then you're very welcome – if you're good enough, you're old enough."
People locally will get a chance to hear the choir when they perform at Stratford's River Festival the week before the Eisteddfod.
The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod runs from July 9 to 14.
Some members of the Amicantus Choir tune up for the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - from left - Marc Ward, Emma-Jane Bartholomew, Jane Kocan-Payne, Joseph Lingard, Emme Foster, Stuart Kocan-Payne, Musical Director Maddy Evans, Rachel Beacham and Lauren Craner. (s)

Phil Williams, the WTVF-Channel 5 investigative reporter with the nasal voice and regular-Joe mustache, has made a career ending careers, authoring televised executions of creaky pols whose capital crimes are evident to even the dimmest viewer. He has a gift for escorting public officials to the wrong side of a courtroom. Just ask former state Sen. Jerry Cooper, who, after Williams exposed how he used taxpayer money to finance a land deal, was indicted on three felony fraud charges and forced to retire from the legislature—though at least he avoided conviction.
So it was an odd sight last week to see Williams, in the midst of testifying for the prosecution in the federal corruption trial of former state Sen. John Ford, badgering no less a patsy than a softball coach for using a mail-order degree to land a job at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Maybe that's why it was so amusing—and a guilty pleasure rivaling the best (or worst?) reality television. Even when Williams sets his sights low, he's still packs a punch unknown to his airbrushed peers.
Last week, the most feared reporter on Nashville's air took on obscure government employees for touting anemic academic credentials. His best target was Eddie Andrews, a vice president at Nashville Electric Service, who earned an MBA from Kennedy-Western University. A congressional investigation four year ago revealed the school to be little more than a diploma mill, churning out fraudulent degrees to whoever could afford them. The school's tests were open-book and multiple-choice, and if students flunked, they could simply keep retaking them until they passed. But a spokesperson for NES said Andrews had no clue Kennedy-Western was a sham institution, "because the course work seemed difficult."
Kind of makes you wonder how many NES executives it takes to screw in a light bulb.
Even worse, NES shelled out $15,000 in public funds for the not-so-higher education of Andrews and two colleagues.
Williams then turned his sights to our state's public colleges, reporting how several professors burnished their résumés with degrees from institutions about as intellectually rigorous as a Larry the Cable Guy movie. Their pursuits were not born of mere vanity. Professor Michael Wright boasted a pair of Ph.D.s from a university forced to shutter its doors in Hawaii, then Australia—but not before he used them to pull in an extra $1,700 annually from Southwest Tennessee Community College.
Still, the best moment in the series came when the stakes were the lowest and Williams barged into the office of an irritable man named Frank Reed. He's the softball coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. To be hired, Reed needed a college degree, so he listed his diploma from Western States, a now-defunct company that offered "life experience" degrees for serving as a tutor or volunteer fireman.
Reed didn't return Williams' phone calls, so the reporter confronted the coach at his office, where the middle-aged man with a mop of thick brown hair looked like he was about to pull a Michael Douglas in Falling Down as he quietly denied any wrongdoing. Later, Williams asked a university spokesperson if the coach met minimum requirements for a legitimate degree.
"Well, it said bachelor's degree," the flack replied. "There's no adjective there."
"That kind of reaction is a gift," Williams tells Desperately. "You can't make that up."
For a reporter, Williams lives a charmed life. Last week, while dim-witted professors around the state trembled at the prospect of finding themselves mocked on television, the Channel 5 ace found himself in the unusual position of testifying for the prosecution in the federal corruption trial of state Sen. John Ford. In 2005, after federal authorities first booked Ford, Williams slyly walked into the Memphis Democrat's office and rummaged through his desk. He discovered a note or two from an HMO that suggested the lawmaker was taking bribes.
Williams isn't the only TV reporter fleshing out solid stories. For months now, WSMV-Channel 4 anchor Demetria Kalodimos has found a second wind, painstakingly sketching the shadowy life of Jerome Barrett, who was arrested in May for the 1975 murder of Marcia Trimble.
Kalodimos uncovered a series of astonishing details about the original police investigation into Nashville's most infamous crime. Chief among them: Detectives received a tip after Trimble disappeared that she was being held for ransom at a North Nashville mosque. As it turns out, that's where Barrett worshipped when the 9-year-old girl went missing.
Not too long ago, we would have read about the finer details of the Trimble case in The Tennessean. But as the daily now picks and chooses which big stories it wants to cover, the local newscasts—even with their grim-faced reports of bats with rabies and fires at empty duplexes—actually matter.
It's hardly a coincidence that Williams and Kalodimos have been reporting in Nashville for over 20 years. Most of their peers in print don't know who Bill Boner was. And it's going to take a while for them to catch up—no matter where they went to college.

Flexsteel Announces Level Earnings On Lower Sales
Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLXS) today reported net income for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $2.4 million or $0.34 per share compared to a net income of $2.3 million or $0.34 per share in the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter included a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.0 million for facility closing costs.
The Company reported net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $81.5 million compared to the prior year quarter of $87.2 million, a decrease of 6.5%. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 benefited from a longer than normal lag time on orders received in the spring of 2010, but not shipped to dealers until the quarter ended September 30, 2010. New orders received during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were approximately 8.4% higher than the prior year period. Residential net sales were $62.5 million in the current quarter, a decrease of 4.1% from the prior year quarter residential net sales of $65.2 million. Commercial net sales were $19.0 million compared to $22.0 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 13.7%.
Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $19.0 million or 23.3% of net sales compared to $19.6 million or 22.5% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The improvement in gross margin percentage is primarily due to lower ocean freight costs and lower fixed costs resulting from reductions in manufacturing capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.3 million or 18.8% of net sales and $14.9 million or 17.1% of net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in expenses is primarily due to support expenditures related to residential dealers converting or installing the Company's revised gallery format and higher legal and professional fees.
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at September 30, 2011 was $102.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million during the first quarter ended September 30, 2011. This use of cash was primarily related to increases in inventories of $4.7 million and receivables of $0.7 million.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

We learned during the dot-com boom, and the subsequent bust, that it takes real money to build the Internet, meaning that the growth of online advertising, e-commerce, social networking, and all the rest doesn't offer a magic formula for profit.
But investors in recent years found a solution they like, plowing money into real-estate investment trusts that own the buildings housing the server computers that run Websites. REITs pay out 90% of their pre-tax income in the form of dividends. So, despite heavy expenses on land and property, many investors consider it sort of a sure thing that these outfits will continually lever up and return money to shareholders.
But of late, investors have cooled a bit on some of the best-known data-center REITs, such as Digital Realty Trust DLR -1.6786570743405276% Digital Realty Trust Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD65.6 -1.12 -1.6786570743405276% /Date(1425506467459-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 910056 AFTER HOURS USD65.6 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7402 P/E Ratio 38.13953488372093 Market Cap 9049100724.64356 Dividend Yield 5.182926829268292% Rev. per Employee 2080340 More quote details and news » (ticker: DLR) and Dupont Fabros Technology DFT -1.508485229415462% Dupont Fabros Technology Inc.

Their stocks are down 6% and 4%, respectively, this year, on results that failed to sustain the magic. And that makes one wonder about the data-center names that aren't REITs, but that investors like to think of as if they were.

Theirs is a business that investors have generally adored for the future profit potential, rather than present returns. That enthusiasm was tested last week, as Rackspace reported revenue that rose 25%, to $352 million, in its most recent quarter, but still missed expectations. Its stock fell 20% the next day.
RACKSPACE IS AN EXCELLENT company with a real, growing business; it added an amazing 7,900 customers in the quarter. But it makes nowhere near enough money to support its stock valuation. Its entire appeal is conjecture: potential future profit.
At a recent price of $59, Rackspace trades at 58 times the $1.01 per share it is projected to make this year. Most of its cash, moreover, is eaten up by capital investments, such as buying more servers, developing software to run clients' operations, or buying land.
The Street, on a good day, looks past all that, disregarding both reported profit and actual free cash flow. Instead, investors focus on metrics that imply the company can earn a lot more at some point, when it can cool its spending.
Known as "adjusted Ebitda" (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), adjusted free cash flow, or adjusted funds from operations (FFO), these figures suggest to the Street the imaginary pre-tax profit that Rackspace and Equinix could pay out if they were REITs. Neither currently pays a dividend.
The companies do their best to keep the Street viewing them from the adjusted-number perspective. Rackspace noted last week that in the 12 months ended in December, it would have had adjusted Ebitda of $464 million, or $3.29 per share, after adding back its depreciation and amortization. On that basis, the stock's trailing multiple of 18 times is below its growth rate. That's a 5% earnings yield, which if it were paid out as a dividend, wouldn't be bad.
Likewise, Equinix is wildly expensive but each quarter helps the Street to put the best spin on things.
The company trades at 62 times reported earnings, based on this year's projected GAAP profits of $3.62 per share. But, in fact, it has yet to be profitable on a cash basis, given that capital spending of $765 million last year wiped out its $632 million in total operating cash flow.
In its press release issued Wednesday, however, Equinix pointed out that those capital expenditures included only $157 million of ongoing capital expenditures, money that must be spent just to support existing operations for existing clients. The rest was all "expansion" capital expenditures, which means it is discretionary, the company says.
The implication is that if Equinix stopped expanding, it would have had free cash flow last year of $475 million, or a whopping $9.13 per share.
As I said, the market last week punished Rackspace for failing to live up to the loftiest expectations, largely because the nature of a REIT is to keep demonstrating Ebitda growth that will some day support massive borrowing, and fat dividends.
It's the same thing that has pushed down Digital Realty and Dupont Fabros shares of late. On Jan. 31, Digital projected that its funds from operations this year would fall below what analysts have been modeling. Friday, the company followed that announcement with fourth-quarter results that were merely in line with expectations.
Dupont on Feb. 6 reported revenue in line with estimates, but funds from operations missed analysts' models.
All of that is proof that levering up guarantees neither strong cash flow nor satisfied investors.
Digital currently has a $4.3 billion in various mortgage obligations, notes, and credit facilities outstanding. At 7.4 times its trailing funds from operations, that's a high leverage ratio, if not catastrophic.
NOW THAT RACKSPACE HAS TAKEN its lumps, its stock may be a less risky bit of speculation. But what of Equinix? That company already has said that it will convert to a REIT come January 2015. No doubt, that announcement, made last September, has been partly responsible for the 76% rise in its shares in the past 12 months.
For the moment, Equinix has kept the momentum going: Reporting fourth-quarter results the day after Rackspace did, it delivered revenue and profits that beat Street expectations slightly. The next day, Equinix shares jumped 6%.
The company's ratio of net debt to adjusted Ebitda, moreover, is one of the lowest among data-center operators, at 2.6 times, says Bruce Roberts, an analyst at National Securities, who has a Buy rating on the shares.
Roberts opines that Equinix probably will reach cash- flow profitability next year. Even so, he concedes, the data-center outfit probably will have to add to its $3 billion pile of debt and other long-term obligations, or issue equity, in order to start paying dividends come 2015.
Two years is a while to wait. In the meantime, given that this is all fantasy profit, Equinix shares will continue to trade based on whether they can deliver upside each quarter, however slight. If not, the pricey stock may face a bit of a Rackspace reaction.

Two black holes
Eyes of hate in a dream
Never seen so much blood
Red dark colored mud
On my hands down the street
Piles higher than a mind can reach
Come to bed if it's hard to believe
Come to bed if it's hard to believe
Broken windows, fallen trees
Walk in ashes to the knees
Filth and dust in our hair
The smell of ruin is everywhere
Get their toughs, leave the bones
Of anyone who comes close to our home
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Count the dead if it's hard to believe
Count the dead if it's hard to believe
Day one there was light
Day two divided sky from the sea
Then came you and me
Some things are written in the stars

We both know, you'll never leave

Come to bed if it's hard to believe
Come to bed if it's hard to believe

I-35 rest stop janitor run over, killed on the job
Greg Blackburn was just doing one of his jobs Wednesday evening — as janitor at the Mahtowa rest stop along Interstate 35 in Carlton County — when he was run over by the driver of a pickup truck.
Blackburn, 62, was killed, and the driver of the truck that hit him fled the scene and led law enforcement on a 25-mile-long high-speed chase. The pursuit ended when Minnesota State Patrol troopers ran a pickup truck driver off the road in Hermantown.

Disaster loans available to farmers
"Emergency loans for farmers, ranchers and operators are available through the Coahoma County Office of the Farm Service Agency," Bobbie Butler, FSA Farm Loan Manager said .
According to Butler, this authority is pursuant to Secretary Vilsack's declaration on Feb. 28, 2011 of a major disaster in Mississippi, caused by drought that occurred from May 1 through Dec. 31, 2010. As a result, Tunica County has been designated as primary natural disaster area eligible for Federal Disaster Assistance pursuant to Section 321 (a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act.

adjust compiler-macro expansion and lambda-list parsing
* Don't convert errors during compiler-macro expansion into runtime PROGRAM-ERRORs: signal a compile-time warning, and simply decline to expand the compiler-macro.
This lives in CAREFUL-EXPAND-MACRO.
* Make compiler not expand compiler-macros if there are arguments in keyword positions that are not self-evaluating constant symbols.
This lives in two places:
(1) VERIFY-KEYWORDS signals a COMPILER-MACRO-KEYWORD-PROBLEM when it encounters either an unknown keyword or anything except a self-evaluating symbol in a keyword position when parsing compiler-macro keywords.
(2) IR1-CONVERT-FUNCTOID handles this condition by unwinding from the compiler-macro expansion, printing a note about the problem, and returning the original form.
Calling COMPILER-MACRO-FUNCTION directly behaves exactly as before, for both good and ill: good in the sense that it is compliant, ill in the sense that doing things that way may expand things the compiler would decline to expand:
(define-compiler-macro foo (&key ((a ax) t)) (format nil "a=~S" ax))
The compiler would refuse to expand (foo a 42) unless
(defconstant a 'a)
had been done beforehand, but calling the COMPILER-MACRO-FUNCTION directly would expand it even without that -- as the spec unfortuntely requires.

Factored form descent: a practical algorithm for coherence retrieval |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 5, pp. 5759-5780 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1209 KB)
We formulate coherence retrieval, the process of recovering via intensity measurements the two-point correlation function of a partially coherent field, as a convex weighted least-squares problem and show that it can be solved with a novel iterated descent algorithm using a coherent-modes factorization of the mutual intensity. This algorithm is more memory-efficient than the standard interior point methods used to solve convex problems, and we verify its feasibility by reconstructing the mutual intensity of a Schell-model source from both simulated data and experimental measurements.

In all honest, I guess I missed a whole thread or something, 'cause I'm not all that familiar with MH. I caught the correction on NG, though; I had jotted that down. The other comment that was made on the show tonight was the LP comment about the 'former security guard' wanting immunity. That generated a thread unto itself!!!
So, yes, if you would, the cliff notes on MH. I haven't enough brain cells left to get into Brandon yet.

NBA 2k6 developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2k sports is a great blend of simulation basketball with fun gameplay.

As the classification explains this is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love to play NBA 2K6! To be honest I don't watch much NBA basketball at all, I may catch a game here or there and I do watch it on Sportscenter. But I'm not what most people would see as a big basketball fan. Yet, there is something about this game that has me playing it at least once a day. Let me start off by saying that this is a great looking game.

- Joey Hart comes from Massachusetts and was definitely not even faintly interested in modeling when she was still at school. It was after high school, during a visit with an old school friend who had moved to the west coast, that she first became interested in modeling. She and her friend were in the crowd watching a bikini contest when she was first approached by a photographer. One thing led to another and before long Joey was doing small shoots for calendars and advertising. It was only a short step from there to becoming involved in the adult movie industry and these days Joey is kept very busy modeling shoots for magazines and websites as well as acting and there is bound to be a lot more of both in her future.

Searching for a molly carroll or similar name that could have been born any time form the 1860' to 1880. I'm not even sure if this was her real name. Here's the story as we know it. Although this could all be a lie. Including the names. William Oscar Davis married a Molly Carroll and had a son Ora Michael Davis 1899. We have to dates of birth May 2 and January 2. The latter being the correct one. We believe that the birth was in Marion COunty Illinois. Apparently Molly died some years later and william brought home a woman near to Ora's age and somehow a fight ensued and Ora left home and never returned. He never told anybody much except not to seach. But I being several descendants down the line and adopted figured I didn't count. If anyone thinks they may have any information on a Molly Carroll please email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com I have spent 100's of hours on the internet to no avail. Thank you

Rapid Setting 'Prompt Natural Cement'
This fast setting waterproof cement is so versatile that it is constantly finding new uses throughout New build and Restoration Project. The addition of meaasured amounts of Tempo Retardant, it's setting time can be controlled from as little as 90 seconds.
PROMPT NATURAL CEMENTPrompt is a unique binder produced by the Vicat Company at their Voreppe works very close to the French alpine city of Grenoble. The Vicat Company was established in 1853 by Joseph Vicat (1821-1902) the son of Louis Vicat (1786-1861) a French military engineer who is credited for his pioneering work with artificial cements. The Vicat Company is the third largest cement producer in France and now the only manufacturer of Natural Cement sold as Prompt, a name synonymous with its unique properties, as Hoover is for vacuum cleaners. Prompt is an entirely natural cement, produced from a single geological layer of Argillaceous (clayey) limestone, a sedimentary rock formed during the formation of the Alps. It is mined then fired at the same relatively low temperature as that for lime production, 800 -1200º C and then finely ground; it contains no other additives whatsoever. Whilst fully compatible with other types of lime binder Prompt Natural Cement cannot be referred to as a lime binder as it contains no free lime Ca(OH)2 however its primary uniqueness comes from the rapid set that Prompt exhibits, which can be controlled with the addition of Tempo (citric acid) which can delay the set in a Prompt mortar by 10 to 30 minutes depending on the ambient temperature at the time. Where to use Quick Setting 'Prompt Cement'Prompt Natural Cement can be used in countless applications on its own, with sand or gauged with traditional lime mortars and plasters, lime putty or NHL mixes, along with many other applications in building conservation where accelerating or achieving a rapid set would be beneficial. Prompt is the only commercially available and appropriate material for repairing Roman Cement applications. The following is but a small selection for a myriad of uses for Prompt. See Fast Setting Prompt Cement in our online shop. |
Some Applications for 'Prompt Cement'WATERPROOFING * LIME RENDERS * CASTING * "ROMAN" CEMENT * DIY AND HOBBY * BUILDERS AND TRADESMEN * FIXER MASONS (STONE CLADDING) * MONUMENTAL MASONRY * CONCRETE & MORTAR REPAIR * SHOTCRETING * SECURING FIXINGS & STREET FURNITURE *FLOORING * ROAD, STREET, MOTORWAY & RUNWAY REPAIRS * WINDOW FITTERS * MARINE & HARBOUR WORKS * UNDERWATER ENGINEERS * * AGRICULTURE * WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS * SOIL STABILISATION * POND CONSTRUCTION * LANDSCAPE GARDENERS * FISH FARMING. Examples of UseAccelerated building operations, emergency repairs, rebuilding of openings, quick build up of any type of masonry, quick or rapid (use of Tempo), very useful for fitting doors and windows. Underpinning operations, with a higher compressive strength than NHL based lime concrete or mortars, and with a much quicker set allowing for safer and improved productivity, all without the need for OPC. Casting ring beams. Roman Cement repairs. Tanking works where appropriate i.e. a 10 mm base coat render mixed at 1:1 in vulnerable locations such as window reveals to mitigate damp ingress at such a location. Water stopping in basements or drainage works. Concrete repairs, high alkalinity helps protect rebar from corrosion. Storage bunds especially sewerage or other areas where aggressive chemical leachates would attack repair mortars. Underwater engineering where divers can carry out instant repairs using neat prompt. Harbour works within the tidal zone, Prompt has been used in saltwater marine environments for more than 150 years. Benefits of Prompt CementCOMPATIBLE WITH LIME * FAST, CONTROLLABLE SET * LOW SHRINKAGE * LOW REACTIVITY * HIGH ALKALINITY. |
