That's good to know. I googled for a while and could only find comments about the problems the kernel drivers were having back in feb/mar 2003. No one says much about drivers when they are working fine (-; Cheers, John Gay

Nordstrom Announces Relocation Of Store At Ala Moana Center
SEATTLE, Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today announced plans to relocate its full-line store to a new space within Ala Moana Center, one of Honolulu's premier shopping destinations. The new three-level, approximately 186,000-square-foot store is expected to open spring 2016. Nordstrom will continue serving customers at its current location until it relocates.
This relocation is part of Ala Moana Center's redevelopment project which includes additional mall space, underground parking, two anchor stores and a residential condominium project. Nordstrom will be moving to the Ewa end of the center on Piikoi Street.
"We love being a part of Ala Moana Center and think this opportunity to bring a brand new store by relocating on the property is terrific for customers," said Erik Nordstrom, president of stores for Nordstrom. "We will be able to bring our newest design concepts that we hope will make for a great shopping experience for both locals and visitors."
Nordstrom continued, "Ala Moana is pretty special to us – we opened in Honolulu nearly 48 years ago leasing space and running the shoe departments in Liberty House stores. We have eight employees who have been with us for more than 25 years, two of which have been with us for 40 years. We're excited to bring these folks, along with the rest of the Nordstrom Ala Moana team of more than 400 employees, a new store to help them serve our customers better."
"Nordstrom's relocation at Ala Moana Center is part of our ongoing strategy to continuously evolve as a world-class shopping destination. The mall attracts more than 42 million visitors a year and is highly regarded in the international retail community. Nordstrom's reputation, quality merchandise and exceptional customer service mirror GGP's ongoing commitment to create an unparalleled shopping environment that provides the most sought-after fashion retailers and top-notch amenities," said Sandeep Mathrani, CEO, GGP. Nordstrom opened its current 211,000-square-foot full-line store at Ala Moana Center in March 2008. Nordstrom relocated its Rack location at Ward Villages Shops in November 2013.

Please let it show what amount of the damage was physical and what was magic so one can itemize better? Perfect example:
It really is kind of a ****ty system when you think about it.
I approve of this, had the same qualm myself.
Tell me about it. When my char explodes and I look at damage and it will usually say like, 20 damage over 12 seconds. But then, even as a damage-type sampler, it becomes further obfuscated by terms like, "mix damage". Of course there's mix damage, that's why we're looking haha...
I totally agree. Sometimes it can be pretty obvious which you need (you lack MR on Mundo against a Kog) but other times it would be really nice to know whether the AD is kicking your butt or if its the magic damage.
Agreed, although you can usually just tell by characters build.
Bump: this should at least be an option
sG Ice
Is it really hard to tell? Basic attacks = AD Know whether abilities scale with AD or AP.

The Sky team was formed at the start of the 2010 season and the intention was clear from the very beginning: to have a British winner of the Tour de France within five years. It's taken just three. Bradley Wiggins had achieved all there is to do as a track rider and he escaped what he called his «comfort zone» and set himself a new challenge after successfully defending his Olympic title in the individual pursuit in 2008.

Pictures of the Beckhams at a Galaxy Game
The Adorable Beckham Boys and Gordon Cheer David On to Victory
David Beckham had his biggest fans — Romeo, Cruz, and Brooklyn — cheering him on as the LA Galaxy played the Portland Timbers on Saturday. The boys were joined by close family friend Gordon Ramsay, and they were spotted singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and high-fiving each other as David's team won 3-0. Victoria Beckham was also along for the successful sporting afternoon, though she kept a low profile in the luxury box. The athlete and dad has been keeping extra busy in recent weeks, celebrating his wife's 37th birthday with family, hanging out by the beach with his sons, and taking in a Lakers game. David Beckham's new Pepsi commercial with Sofia Vergara also recently made its debut, and he has yet another important new role ahead. In just a few months, he'll become a father to his first daughter! First up, however, Victoria and David Beckham are off to the royal wedding on Friday.

Unemployment rates jump in Lufkin, region
Lufkin, TX — Unemployment numbers rose at the city, county and state level last month, according to data released by the Texas Workforce Commission.
In May, Lufkin had a 7.8 percent unemployment rate. In June, 159 more people were considered unemployed, raising the number to 8.7 percent. In Angelina County, the number rose from 7.6 percent in May to 8.6 percent in June.
Statewide, 110,555 more people were jobless, a jump from 7.9 percent to 8.8 percent.
The dip is baffling to professionals, because during the summer, seasonal jobs often cause unemployment numbers to decrease, according to Lufkin's director of economic development, Jim Wehmeier.
Over the month, 78 people were added to Lufkin's labor force, 227 to Angelina's and 66,297 to the state's. Lufkin and Angelina unemployment rates are still below the state's rate, but just barely.
"We don't know specifically why numbers are up," said Charlene Meadows, executive director of Workforce Solutions Deep East Texas. "My guess would be the general economy. We stay pretty close in relation to the state, usually. It's just reflecting a difference in the economy."
For the entire Deep East Texas area, the June unemployment rate was at 10.1 percent, up from 9.1 percent in May.
Often, when numbers rise, large layoffs can be blamed, but that isn't the case this time, according to Meadows.
"Without a big, significant event, we've got to put together a bunch of small events," she said. "Small layoffs don't catch the same attention one big layoff does."
Meadows said it's a possibility that there have been a number of two- or three-person layoffs at small companies throughout the area that added up to create the rise in unemployment. She also cited higher competition in the job market during the summer, with students who usually aren't working during school competing for jobs against others who aren't in class nine months of the year.

Ninetales (the Fox Pokémon) is a rare Fire-type Pokémon found among grassy fields and mountainous environments within the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Unova regions as well as the Sinnoh region on rare occasions. Exceptionally intelligent and imbued with mystical power, Ninetales are magnificent creatures that truly tread the line between the physical world and the spiritual one, harboring intense metaphysical powers seen in few other organic life forms. If you plan on training one of these flaming beauties, then you had better be prepared to steer clear of their tails at all costs; accidentally pull one, and you might end up receiving a curse that will haunt your bloodline for generations to come!
When exposed to the radiant energy of a Fire Stone, the tails of a Vulpix grow incredibly hot before splitting further into a total of nine tails and increasing in length substantially. Covered in golden fur that only grows more beautiful with age, Ninetales are magnificent creatures that seem to be shrouded more in secrecy than they are fact. Despite their seemingly organic construct, Ninetales are often revered as mystical creatures that can utilize powers seen only in Ghost-types, namely the ability to generate long-lasting curses. While Ninetales are usually peaceful and prefer not to be involved in conflict (though for some odd reason they can learn the Nasty Plot technique while Vulpix cannot), they will gladly lay curses on anyone foolish enough to suddenly grab or yank their tails without warning. While many scientists are skeptical of such claims, it is interesting to note that hundreds of cases involving such curses are part of the public record world-wide and are widely accepted as historical fact. These curses are believed to be so potent that that they actually go on as long as the Ninetales responsible for casting them remains alive; since Ninetales are known to live up to 1000 years in age, these curses tend to travel between family members and through multiple generations with little warning. The true issue, however, is that these curses take on a wide variety of forms and are not wholly dependent upon the individual in question, making their origins somewhat difficult to understand. According to local legends, however, Ninetales were believed to be the reincarnated form of nine powerful magicians that fused their spirits together into one essence; as such, it is believed that each tail is imbued with its own separate, distinct mystical power, perhaps partially explaining why their curses tend to vary so much in their effects. In all likelihood, a scientific explanation behind the powers of these creatures will be impossible to determine until Ghost-types in general can be explained due to the striking similarities they and Ninetales share with each other.
Aside from generating fire with their internal combustion organs (which, though making them warm and cuddly, also forces them to spew fire periodically to prevent overheating on warm days), Vulpix and Ninetales are unique among Fire-types in that they possess the ability to generate fire through pyrokinesis. The ability to wield fire through psychic means is an ability usually seen only among Psychic and Ghost-types and is such associated purely with mental control over the environment; the fact that Vulpix and Ninetales have this ability tells us that their brain structure is far more advanced than what it would initially appear to be. Aside from being able to naturally utilize the Will-O-Wisp and Grudge techniques to inflict harm upon the opposition (as well as being the only non-Ghost-type Pokémon capable of learning both of these techniques), Vulpix and Ninetales are uniquely gifted for being able to learn many strange Psychic-type moves, such as Imprison and Extrasensory, that are normally unseen among Fire-types. It seems that these strange powers are not a recent discovery either, as it is now believed that the Japanese legend of the kitsune was most likely based off Vulpix and Ninetales; this makes particular sense in the case of Ninetales, who are more than well-known for their incredibly long life spans and penchant for inflicting curses.
Though they might be more trouble than they are worth for trainers that can't keep themselves away from their luxurious tails, Ninetales are nonetheless versatile creatures that can certainly put up a fight with their unique assortment of abilities and attacks. Equally potent among Fire-type and Psychic-type specialists and decently strong on defense, these bizarre foxes are sure to give first-time opponents a rude awakening if they like to specialize in physical brawls a little too much. Thankfully, these beasts are rarely a problem to train as long as you know how to properly groom them; take things nice and slow with them and you shouldn't have to worry about having a child someday with a nose the size of a small banana or something even worse!

text: GROOMING Appearance Top 10: Common Grooming Mistakes Back to Top ▲ Top 10: Common Grooming Mistakes 8 Dirty, uncut nails Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares Samuel Cockman/Flickr While startling, the sight of a well-groomed man with overgrown, cracked nails is not terribly uncommon. Nails should always be clipped short but never so short as to expose the nail bed, which can be an incredibly painful experience. And get over any reservations you may have about manicures and pedicures. Forgoing regular nail care by a professional can lead to uneven nail growth and unsightly fungal infections. It's essential to treat yourself once every four to six weeks in order to get your nails clipped and filed properly, and most importantly, have your cuticles trimmed down. You can skip the polish.

Q: Why does not the Bread of Line accept online payments?? A: From what I have been told, PayPal would charge them a fee for accepting payments. If anyone knows of a way that the Bread of Life could accept online payments and that they would get 100% of the donation, please let them or me know. I will pass the information onto them.
It's a bit complicated, and you can get the info at paypal.com, but basically with a no-set-up-cost, no-monthly-fee, cancel-anytime-with-no-fee account, they will take about 3% of each transaction. If someone who used to donate by check now uses paypal, you will lose 3% of that donation. If someone uses paypal who would not have bothered to write a check, you get 97% of what they gave, none of which you would have had without paypal. You can always try it for a month or two. See if income is greater than before. That I think is the key. Not so much does paypal take any money, but do you have more net income using paypal or not.
It is very hard to find "free" processing. http://www.donortownsquare.com/dtshome.aspx is one place that I know of that is reputable. I used to work with the owner/operator, and can recommend him.

Government shutdown would be a blow to the public
(Read article summary)Government shutdown can be avoided if Obama can end the budget stalemate and remind Americans that they have obligations to one another
J. Scott Applewhite / AP
I was there in 1995 when the government closed because of a budget stalemate. I had to tell most of the Labor Department's 15,600 employees to go home and not return the next day. I also had to tell them I didn't know when they'd next get a paycheck.
There were two shutdowns, actually, rolling across the government in close succession, like thunder storms.
It's not the way to do the public's business.
Newt Gingrich got blamed largely because his ego was (and is) so big he couldn't stop blabbing that Clinton should be blamed. (Gingrich's complaint of a bad seat on Air Force One didn't help.)
But the larger loss was to the dignity and credibility of the United States government. When average Americans saw the Speaker of the House and the President of the United States behaving like nursery school children unable to get along, it only added to the prevailing cynicism.
Cynicism about government works to the Republicans' continued advantage.
Case in point. House Budget Chair Paul Ryan unveiled a plan today that should make every American cringe. It would turn Medicare into vouchers whose benefits are funneled into the pockets of private insurers. It would make Medicaid and Food Stamps into block grants that allow states to ignore poor people altogether. It would drastically cut funding for schools, roads, and much else Americans need. And many of the plan's savings would go to wealthy Americans who'd pay even lower taxes than they do today.

Les Mis Wrap-UpIt's been a week since my beloved show closed.It.Was.Amazing.I can legitimately say that this experience has changed my life. And what an honor to have been included in something so much bigger than myself. It was truly astounding. What a story to tell. Les Misérables. What. A. Story. Glorious. You know what's strange, is that I didn't come to a complete realization that by being in this show, I was fulfilling a dream. It wasn't until right before my closing show that it really hit me. My director gave a killer speech, heartfelt and sentimental. Wonderful and brilliant. Then near the end, he said, "I hope you all realize that by being part of this show, you're making dreams come true. There are some people in this cast that are getting the chance to play their dream roles. Their dream roles. And that's because of you. So thank you."

I wanted to love this product, but it didn't do a thing for me. I love many of Burt's Bees lotions and soaps, but...when I replaced it with the Evan Healy blemish stick I was like, OH OKAY, that's what this one is supposed to do! So, no, I won't be buying again.
I've had acne for 4 years now. I've tried tons of things. Proactiv, clearasil, clean and clear, you name it...I've tried it. I recently started using clinique 3 step, though. It has been working great for me but I still have those pimples that are hard to get rid of or take a while to get rid of and I really wanted a spot treatment so I bought this one. I've been using it for 4 days now, I put it on at night before I go to bed and keep it on my nightstand and reapply as I lay in bed (it takes me forever to fall asleep). If I'm not doing anything during the day and won't be wearing makeup at all...I put it on periodically throughout the day. I have seen a huge change already! My pimples have gone down in size, and my skin is almost clear. This is huge for me...seeing as I've been struggling with this for years upon years and had almost given up on trying to find something that would work. My mom used this one time, a couple nights ago and is seeing change as well. I love this product!
I have to saw that this is a very mixed review. While I love Burts Bees this is kind of a mediocre product at best.
The tube it comes in is unhygenic- I worry that rubbing this over a break out and then rubbing somewhere else that is clear will only spread the bacteria and lead to more breakouts. This would be better in a tonic bottle or something.
The smell isn't bad- it is definitely strong and definitely tea tree oil. But it is strong and does burn slightly on skin. Especially if you have and cuts or chapped skin (from a cold or something).
I do feel like this minimizes the size of blemishes quite well over night- at least for me. So I would buy it again just for that.
Let me start off by saying I love Burt's Bees, big fan of the whole natural/organic line of theirs. I tried this, had high hopes, but it didn't help my breakouts at all. It may work for some people, but I'm not one of them.
Although I've already purchased this twice, thinking it was working, I've come to the conclusion that the only thing it really does is make my skin smell like tea tree oil and sting like crazy. It burns when you put it on, but after using it at night for weeks, I still haven't noticed a difference. I have combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. So far Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide have worked the best on my blemishes. I won't waste the $7 on this again.
Me: Normal skin with regular breakouts.
My experience: I would use this if I saw some sort of inflammation or I wanted to prevent an emerging pimple. I quite like the smell because it smells very herbal and organic, signature Burts Bees, although I understand if people dont like it. I found this product to be ineffective, it didnt really do much.
As noted by many people, the applicator is extremely unhygienic and could promote the dispersion of bacteria, countering the original purpose of the product. It can be quite difficult to obtain the liquid as you roll it on your face. Furthermore, this product would be difficult to treat raised pimples as the liquid is controlled by the spherical applicator.
Looking at the ingredients, the herbal blemish stick is just a concoction of oils and the main blemish treating ingredients are willow bark extract (which doesnt have the same potency as salicylic acid) and tea tree oil. I question the effectiveness as these ingredients are quite little in quantity in contrast to the other herbal oils which are probably for fragrance and are not well recognised for blemish fighting qualities. Youll probably be better off with a salicylic treatment or tea tree oil on its own.
Would I buy it again? No. In Australia it is quite expensive and drugstore pimple/blemish treatments with the same key ingredients (salicylic acid/benzyl peroxide/tea tree oil) are nearly half the price of the product. Furthermore, in my experience drugstore treatments were more effective. If you opt to take the natural approach, you might consider tea tree oil itself than buying a product with a low concentration of tea tree oil.
Note: I wouldnt use willow bark extract and salicylic acid interchangeably because willow bark extract is converted to salicylic acid by digestive processes when consumed orally.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't think this product had any effect on my blemishes. The alcohol dried my eyes out. I had trouble getting the liquid out of the tube too. Overall a disappointment.
One of the few BB products I'm not a fan of. I bought this thinking it would be an awesome, natural way to deal with the few blemishes I get, but it really didn't do anything for them. Didn't make them worse, but didn't make them noticeably better either.
The applicator is also REALLY frustrating, just really hard to use and not the most hygienic thing.
I think I'll just stick with soap & water, it seems to be what's worknig best for me.
The main ingredient in this product is alcohol. Yes, this product may help dry out your blemish. But, it has a roll-on applicator. Very unhygienic. Also, the amount of product you get for the price is very small and it gets used up quickly. If you are blemish prone, stick to your regular toner ladies. It will be way more cost effective.

Kate Winslet's film 'Divergent' joins rush of dystopian Y.A. film adaptations
Heroine Katniss, played by Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who survives by playing her own rules, quickly becomes a threat to the government and a beacon of hope for an underground uprising.
The film, which made $691 million worldwide last year, will be followed by sequel "Catching Fire" in November, which puts Katniss back in the perilous game as society starts to find hope in opposing the regime.
That theme resonates with teens who feel powerless, who feel like adults but are still stuck in a restricted environment, said author Veronica Roth.
"To have a character who is claiming their identity in a world spinning wildly out of control and to use their means to overcome that world, I think that's a really powerful thing for a teenager to read about," Roth said.
Roth is the author of "Divergent," the first of three novels, which takes dystopia further in a society divided into five factions which define how a person lives their life.
When protagonist Tris, portrayed by Shailene Woodley, is born into the selfless Abnegation tribe but realizes she doesn't fit in, she challenges society's rules and finds a home with the Dauntless, a clan for the brave. The film, also starring Kate Winslet, is due for release in March 2014.
"'Harry Potter' had this wonderful innocent magic to it and it got darker as it went along ... maybe 'Hunger Games' takes that to the next step. We've taken it even further with 'Divergent,'" the film's director Neil Burger said.

According to Wikipedia:
A standing army is an army composed of full time professional soldiers who 'stand over', in other words, who do not disband during times of peace. They differ from army reserves who are activated only during such times as war or natural disasters. Standing armies tend to be better equipped, better trained, and better prepared for emergencies, defensive deterrence and particularly wars. [1]
The army of ancient Rome is considered to have been a standing army during some of Roman history, but especially the empire [citation needed].
The first 'modern' standing army in Europe were the Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire, formed in the fourteenth century AD.[2][3] In western Europe the first standing army was established by Charles VII of France in the fifteenth century. [citation needed] The establishment of a standing army by King James II in 1685 in Britain and later the control of the British Army over the British Colonies in America was controversial, leading to distrust of peacetime armies too much under the power of the head of state, versus civilian control of the military, resulting tyranny.
In his influential work The Wealth of Nations (published 1776), economist Adam Smith comments that standing armies are a sign of modernizing society as modern warfare requires increased skill and discipline of regularly trained standing armies.[4] Since the eighteenth century standing armies have been an integral part of the defense of the majority of more economically developed countries.
In Great Britain, and the British Colonies in America, there was a sentiment of distrust of a standing army not in civilian control. In Great Britain, this led to the British Bill of Rights which reserves authority over a standing army to the Parliament, not the King, and in the United States, led to the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 8) which reserves similar authority to Congress not the President. [5]
Yes. The United States has a standing army.
"We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded!" Dick Winters
A "standing army" is one chartered and trained by the state. So, in effect, yes we do. The one possible exception to this is that our military is controlled by a "civilian" president and not a military dictatorship.

yes, we do have one. maybe not technically but practically
We do have a standing Army, but the civilian control of it is what makes it work so well. I was reminded of an article I read a few months ago regarding this concept: (emphasis mine)
Quite a coup that U.S. military stays in the barracks
By David Mazzarella, Stars and Stripes ombudsman
Pacific edition, Thursday, June 7, 2007
Recently I attended, as a guest, the annual congress of the International Press Institute (IPI) in Istanbul, Turkey. The IPI is a worldwide network of editors and publishers dedicated to the cause of press freedom. Naturally, there was quite a bit of discussion about democracy which countries practice it and which do not because you cant have freedom of the press without it.
Many of those that do not practice it, or have not at times in the past, or practice it only intermittently, are characterized by military institutions that have been known to come out of the barracks. That is, they initiate coups, and take over the government. It struck me that one of the things we take for granted in our own great country is the establishment, since the founding of the republic, of a proper role for the military. It serves civilian authority, not the other way around.
The discussion in Turkey was especially timely. In many respects, it is a full democracy, with free elections and a generally free press. But every so often, when it deems the civilian government is not doing a good job, the army steps in. It conducted four coups between 1960 and 2000, each time giving the government back to civilians after a period of time.
Turkey, a NATO member and host to U.S. bases, is a predominantly Muslim country, but it has been a secular one since the 1920s. No Islamic religious involvement in government, no mandatory veils for women, and so on. But the current, openly elected government is run by politicians from a former Islamist party, and the secularists fear that down the road those in power will start enacting Islamist rules and laws. The military is strongly secularist.
The talk at IPI was about what happens if the Islamic-influenced party, which has strongly pledged support for secular institutions, nevertheless goes too far down the path of religiosity. Will the army decide to cut it short?
Douglas Frantz, managing editor of the Los Angeles Times, hosted a panel discussion at IPI. He said that when he took over as Istanbul correspondent some years ago, this is how Turkish democracy was described to him: Imagine a busload of people on a highway: The passengers are the citizenry, the driver symbolizes the politicians, and the guardrails are the military. If the bus swerves too far in either direction, the guardrails stop it.
Interestingly, several panel members, including a Turkish academic and a newspaper editor, said civil society in Turkey wasnt all that strong. The implication was that it needed shoring up at times. Ertugrul Ozkok, editor of the leading newspaper, Hurryet, said his first reaction upon hearing about the last coup, which followed unrest that led to deaths, was relief.
A participant from Thailand got a rise out of the audience when he said that his country, too, had an overactive military. It held a coup last September, supplanting a democratically elected government beset by allegations of corruption. Like the Turkish military, the officers in Thailand historically have voluntarily allowed the country to revert to democratic elections after coups. Other regimes have been less willing to give up power.
Across the water from Turkey, Greece was ruled by a military junta from 1967 to 1974, its end coming only after student riots and Turkeys invasion of the contested island of Cyprus. Myanmar (formerly Burma) has been ruled militarily for nearly two decades. Pakistan had a military coup in 1999 and its president, Pervez Musharraf, still holds the title of general. Another U.S. ally, South Korea, has had military coups, the last one 25 years ago. In all, 59 countries had a history of military coups in the 20th century. There are 19 such countries in Latin America, where many dictatorships came to an end in the 1980s.
In the United States, the military is governed by civilians, starting with the president, who is also commander in chief of the armed forces. The secretary of defense is civilian. So secure are we in the appropriate positioning of the military within society that we countenance the appointment of a military officer, Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. We have shown no hesitation to elect former military icons to the presidency from Washington to Grant to Eisenhower. But what the first of those gentlemen and the Founding Fathers established as the role of the military in America has stuck. There have been no Dr. Strangelove scenarios. The military stays in the barracks.

one could argue we have never been in "Peace time" as well....
Anyone remember the movie, "Seven Days in May"? A great cold-war tale, and relates well to this discussion, concerning civilian control of the military and under what circumstances a military coup could occur.
"We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded!" Dick Winters
Well what about posse comitatus?
What about the executive orders usurping congress?
What about FEMA?
What about America being in a state of Emergency since when?
Isn't the department of homeland security a federal agency?
So can a State army as well as a Federal army be considered standing?

vintage wedding decoration ideas
vintage wedding decoration ideas is something that is unique. However, this theme is very attractive to many people in recent years. Vintage wedding decorations provide a romantic atmosphere, classic and elegant with a vintage impression. In addition to decorating, there are many that we can do to create the impression of a vintage theme. Such as Wedding Dress, invitations, flowers, tables, and other support factors.
vintage wedding decoration ideas would be to appreciate the best the past needs to offer. That may mean something from physical components, like dresses and bouquets, too much more esoteric issues like traditions and rituals. Numerous couples like the concept of coughing up their respect towards the great thing about marriages past, and but also want their wedding to have the distinctive and personal sense of today's marriages. The concept would be to take your ideas from earlier times without attempting to recreate a marriage from the bygone time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jlp922 from I have 2 of these FOR A REASON I love this tray. It is easy to throw in the dishwasher and is the perfect catch all for anything that you're serving. The slight curve on the edges makes a big aesthetic difference and also helps to keep crackers and things from falling off. Total win.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dearquee from Perfect for displaying anything you can think of I'm very impressed with this purchase. I own the Court dinner set piece and this platter compliments them really well. I opted for rectangular platter (instead of round) because it's easier for me to store and the Court dinner set is also square. I would highly recommend this to anyone. You can use it for pasta, tiny bites, or even cupcakes when friends or family are over. I own two of these and I wonder if I should buy more....

I wasn't sure that I really needed another serving piece, but now that it's in our cabinet I think we've used it about once a week! It's clean, sturdy and mixes perfectly with our other white serving dishes. It's large enough that we often place the 3-part server in the middle with sauces and dips, and arrange veggies and crackers around the outside. A fantastic platter for the price!

Immersion Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR), the leader in touch feedback technology development and licensing, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2012 were $7.1 million, an increase of 10% compared with $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Royalty and license revenues of $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 were up 8% from the same period last year. Net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $(3.0) million, or $(0.11) per share. This compares to a net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.05) per share, for the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 was $(1.6) million, as compared to $454 thousand in the third quarter of 2011.
"We are pleased to report year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter, and we continue to see touch feedback become increasingly integral to the mobile user experience," said Immersion CEO Victor Viegas. "While our bottom line reflects the timing of legal expenses during the period, we are pleased with the manner and speed with which we are progressing through the ITC process and projected timeline and remain committed to fully monetizing our IP in a way that fairly values our technology. We continue to believe there is potential for Immersion to monetize unrealized opportunity for Basic Haptics in the current fiscal year, and restate our revenue guidance of $32 to $38 million for 2012 with positive Adjusted EBITDA. This forecast is predicated on our existing base business supporting the lower end of the range and the potential for Basic Haptics licensing revenue from litigation settlements and other unlicensed companies providing the upside."
As of September 30, 2012, Immersion's cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $47.9 million, compared to $56.3 million as of December 31, 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company used approximately $3.2 million to purchase 581,200 shares of its common stock, resulting in a total of $5.2 million used to purchase 968,488 shares during the year to date.

Credit Acceptance Announces Extension And Modification Of Revolving Line Of Credit Facility
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq:CACC) (referred to as the "Company") announced today that it has extended the maturity of its credit facility with a commercial bank syndicate from June 23, 2011 to June 22, 2012. The amount of the facility remained unchanged at $150.0 million.
The interest rate on borrowings under the facility has been changed from the prime rate plus 1.0% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.75%, at the Company's option, to the prime rate plus 1.25% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%, at the Company's option. The floor on the Eurodollar rate decreased from 1.50% to 0.75%. None of the financial covenants were modified.
The credit facility continues to be secured by a lien on most of the Company's assets. As of June 9, 2010 the Company had $6.5 million outstanding under the agreement.
Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation Since 1972, Credit Acceptance has provided auto loans to consumers, regardless of their credit history. Our product is offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our product, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing. Without our product, consumers are often unable to purchase a vehicle or they purchase an unreliable one. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our program is that we provide a significant number of our consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.CONTACT: Credit Acceptance Corporation Investor Relations Douglas W. Busk, Senior Vice President and Treasurer (248) 353-2700 Ext. 4432 firstname.lastname@example.com

The Complete Journey.
Drifting, drifting.. gone.
Sinking, slowly sinking down.
I wake, I am standing in a forrest, some sorry people are in the branches of the trees above me.
Where am I?
I walk on, come to a gate, a gate of black marble, with blood stained writing.
The writing is old, decayed, and over read.
I can't make it out.
Walking on I find a boat, guided by a lone soul.
I caugh and a coin comes out of my mouth.
The coin has a face, with horns on it, glimmers like blood in the moonlight.
The thought crosses my mind for a minute "Where Am I?", then is blown away like a seed in the wind.
The river man seems to be gesturing to the coin, I hand it to him and get into the boat.
We slowly navigate the river.
Bubbles coming up from the depths, pop, and eminate wild terrible screeches and screams.
I cover my ears and cower in fear.
One of my fellow passengers is dragged into the deep green water and is dragged under by hands.
His screams, muted, by a hand firmly clasped over his mouth.
I watch, witnessing an animal, being draged by its hungry prey.
I gaze on.
Bodys hang, slowly swaying in the wind lingering of blood and death.
The boat, reaches its destination, we are standing at a beach shore.
There are several of us here, standing in a line, waiting..
Waiting for what.... is the question.
A figure, clouded in shadows, walks by each of us, surveying actions, and reactions.
Women crying, men trying not to.
I standing here, look at the figure as a deer would look into headlights.
The pain starts, whipping.. we are forced into a cavern.
The heat begins to eminate from around us.
Fires burning, the smell of rotten flesh and sulfer fills my nose.
I now know where I am, but do not wish to admit.
Admiting would mean defeat.
Defeat means I would submit.
The whiping of my self, and my companions continue as we continue into the depths of the cavern.
People around us, years of being treated as horses with one limp leg.
Cripled by time, and torture.. they look on, at us, the new comers.
New horses, with new legs, just waiting to be broken in.
Suddenly I am whiped, the pain of a thousand fires burns my back and body.
I open my mouth to scream like I've never screamed before.
Yet nothing comes.
I am left bearing the pain, with nothing to say, or do.
Continuing down the heat gets greater.
Hands occasionally dragging others down into pits.
I see the people who are dragged into the pits eyes, glowing like firelight, asking begging for help.
Reaching up for guidance for what to do..
No one can offer anything, we open our mouths to speak, and nothing is said.
Finally when the heat is unbearable, we reach another marble gate, only this one is crimson red, with black writing.
A large wolf gaurds this gate, three heads, salavating at the fresh meat being ushered under its feet.
I cover my eyes as the person behind me is devoured by its gaping jaws.
Its eyes red, dark as the deepest blood gaze at me.
I quickly run onwards, not wishing to become a small morsal of food for this massive beast.
Lost as a balloon drifting in the wind, I follow the crowd.
We are all forced, if not willingly driven, into our own caverns and made to follow the path.
Mine, lined with walls of flesh, pulsates, making me sick.
I try to walk back to the start, but something stops me.
I am forced to walk the way of my path.
Suddenly, the floor drops out from underneath me.
Falling into a pit of no light.
No light, no sight.
I feel something that feels remotely like hands ripping and tearing at my clothes.
Falling and spinning, having unknown things grasp at me.
Mute screams coming from my mouth.
Landing in a pool of blood and cadavers and carcasses.
The stench, terrible.
Grasping for air, reaching for help, the only thing I have to grasp onto, is my nightmares.
Grasping to a dead body that seems to be riddled with bullets, I support my body on its stomach and kick my way to the shore.
I stand, gather my breath and walk on.
My footsteps becoming pools of blood.
Blood dripping off my shirt, down my arms and down into the palms of my hand then on to the ground...
The drips, disappearing into puffs of smoke.
I look on..
A dark forest looms in the distance.
Dark as the darkest night.
Something, pushing me, driving me, forcing me onwards.
I enter the forest, and don't look back.
Trees reaching down, as if alive, pulling at my exposed flesh.
Thorns puncturing, tearing, ripping, tears of pain dripping down my face.
I move on, owls hooting and wolves howling.
Suddenly I'm forced to stop.
Cockroaches, asps and rats crossing my path, in some kind of cruel river.
Crawling, shimmering, and slithering.
Gathering my courage, I step gingerly through the writhing pandemonium.
Feeling the thrashing myriad of creatures.
Suddenly I feel a sharp pain rise in my feet.
This pain, unmatched by anything.
I continue, not caring, not feeling my legs, the crippling pain in my legs.
I crawl slowly out of the river of horrors.
Pain eminating from my foot, I look down, a scarlet welt pulsates slowly, beating with the rythm of my beating heart.
I rip a small remnant of my shirt off, and wrap it around my foot, hoping to calm the discomfort.
I roam on.
I soon come to the end of the black as charcole forest.
I look up and see a citadel.
The citadel, looming in the distance like a spectre.
Climbing the mountain that the citadel calls home, the pain in my foot continues to grow, forcing me to limp.
A horse.. limp, with pain.
Wearing down, I look up at the citdel's distinct features.
Grotesque gargoyles sitting on ziggurats, mouths open, carnage flowing forth.
Pain, grapples my foot and forces me to crawl across the draw bridge.
I crawl slowly, into the citadel.
Crawling slowly I gaze like a hungry animal at the interior.
Torches flicker from the sides of the wall, drawing my view inwards, toward the throne room.
Moving slowly, deathly slowly, I gather what energy I have and crawl to the throne room.
My eyes are drawn to a throne of blood.
Flowing, dripping, pulsating.
What is on the throne, throws me into convulsions of shock.
It is my self.
Sitting, looking with the look of a hungry wolf.
That terrifying grin..looking, staring back at me.
Then the laughing starts.
The terrible maniacal, nefarious, laugh.
Resounding through out the walls of the citadel...
As the laughter grows so does my affliction.
Trying to scream, I cast my head to the moon and open my mouth.
Lifeblood, bubbles to the top of my throat.. and dribbles down my cheeks.
Searing as acid down my body.
The pain, over whelming, I collapse in to the glowing rubicund.
Squirming and worming in dispare in my own blood.
I shake and shimmer, and sweat.
My eyes, my soul and my heart burn.
The smell of rotten flesh fills my nose and I begin to caugh a mute cough.
Tearing at my skin I weep, and my tears only make the pain worse.
My skin melting off, into the puddle of my own blood.
My fears becoming reality.
I thrash about in terrible agony.
I throw my hands away from my body, arms out streched, and open my mouth to scream.
I awake.
I find my self sitting in a throne, guarded by gargoyles.
The area, surrounded by torches.
A welt, pulsating on my foot.
I open my mouth to scream.
