Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Completion of Acquisition or Disp
On June 13, 2014 (the "Closing Date"), Gray Television, Inc. (the "Company"), as borrower, entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the "New Credit Facility"), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto.
The New Credit Facility provides total commitments of $575.0 million, consisting of a $525.0 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan") and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed $525.0 million under the Term Loan. Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company's prior senior credit facility, which was then amended and restated, to fund the cash purchase price to complete the Hoak Acquisition (defined below) and to pay related fees and expenses, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Term Loan borrowings bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either the Base Rate (as defined below) plus 1.75%-2.0% or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")plus 2.75%-3.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, in each case based on a first lien leverage ratio test as set forth in the New Credit Facility (the "First Lien Ratio Test"). The Term Loan also requires the Company to make quarterly principal repayments equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan beginning September 30, 2014.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on the Base Rate plus 1.0%-1.5% or LIBOR plus 2.0% -2.5%, in each case based on the First Lien Ratio Test. Base Rate is defined as the greatest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate, (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which rate may range from 0.375% to 0.50% on an annual basis, based on the First Lien Ratio Test.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 13, 2019 and the Term Loan matures on June 13, 2021.
The Company's obligations under the New Credit Facility are secured by
substantially all of the assets, including real estate, of the Company and
substantially all of its subsidiaries. In addition, substantially all of the
Company's subsidiaries are joint and several guarantors of those obligations and
the Company's ownership interests in those subsidiaries are pledged to
collateralize its obligations under the New Credit Facility. The New Credit
Facility contains affirmative and restrictive covenants that the Company must
comply with, including (a) limitations on additional indebtedness, (b)
limitations on liens, (c) limitations on the sale of assets, (d) limitations on
guarantees, (e) limitations on investments and acquisitions, (f) limitations on
the payment of dividends, payments on certain other debt and share repurchases,
(g) limitations on mergers, and (h) at all times at which amounts are outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, maintenance of a total leverage ratio not to exceed certain maximum limits, as well as other customary covenants for credit facilities of this type.
The Company has various relationships with Wells Fargo and Bank of America and their respective affiliates, including as agents and lenders under the Company's prior credit facility. In addition, some of the other agents and the lenders under the New Credit Facility, or their respective affiliates, have had in the past, and may have, in the future, various relationships with the Company involving the provision of financial or other advisory services, including cash management, investment banking and brokerage services. These agents and lenders, including Wells Fargo, Bank of America and RBC Capital Markets, or their respective affiliates, have received, and may in the future receive, customary principal and interest payments, fees and expenses for these services.
A copy of the New Credit Facility is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the New Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the New Credit Facility.
On June 13, 2014, Gray completed its previously announced series of transactions pursuant to which it acquired 12 television stations and programming of three additional television stations from Hoak Media, LLC ("Hoak") and Parker Broadcasting, Inc. for total cash consideration of approximately $306.0 million (the "Hoak Acquisition"). The Company used borrowings under the New Credit Facility to fund the purchase price for the Hoak Acquisition.
The information contained in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference.
On June 13, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Hoak Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 as is incorporated by reference herein.

The Mahāvastu, the 'Great Story,' claims to be a vinaya, a word meaning 'discipline' and usually used for a collection of rules for monks or nuns. In fact, it is actually a long and rather chaotic biography of the Buddha compiled from oral and written sources between about the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. A veritable treasure house of legends, ballads, authentic historical information, devotional poetry and Dhamma teachings, it also contains numerous Jātaka stories, some from the Tipiṭaka, many others unique to it.

We last left Project Getaway, Ed Krawiec's '66 Nova dream car, with the front half mocked together and actually starting to resemble a car again. Our next mission was to turn to the back half of the car to begin hacking the floor out from about midway of the front seat to the rear tailpanel, thus allowing room for the installation of the Chris Alston's Chassisworks 4x2-inch rear frame configured to receive Alston's canted billet four-bar rear suspension system and FAB9 rear housing.
Since the Chevrolet Nova, or Chevy II, considered an American compact car in the 1960s, was of unibody construction (not full framed), Getaway needed some serious upgrades to handle the high-horsepower and suspension modifications we plan on throwing at it. Considering Krawiec wanted to go with a G-machine/Pro Touring-style Nova, the canted four-bar system would be right at home with its versatility. The system can be utilized for optimized handling and traction due to its self-centering design, coupled with adjustability from the aftermarket. Whether you enjoy carving corners, cruising Main Street USA, or barreling down the quarter-mile of your favorite dragstrip, the canted four-bar is a solid option.
Beyond the installation of the rear frame, we once again called upon Chris Alston's Chassisworks to provide us with its 9-inch housing featuring fabricated center-section panels, internal gussets, and consistent robotic spray arc-welded seams that provide ultimate strength and durability. With the combination of the Alston rear frame, FAB9 housing, billet four-bar system, and double-adjustable shocks, we'll have achieved a highly adjustable, easy-to-tune rear suspension system.
In order to stuff the FAB9 housing, we called upon the knowledgeable staff at Strange Engineering in Morton Grove, Illinois. Strange Engineering is a family-owned establishment that began developing products in the late 1950s out of a two-car garage and now calls a 120,000-square-foot space home. After a brief discussion with J.C. Cascio of Strange, he recommended Strange's 9-inch Pro Iron third member, complete with a Detroit Locker differential and a 3.90-ratio street gear. As for the axles, Cascio recommended the S/T 35-splines complete with bearings and a half-inch stud kit for the ultimate in strength on the street or track. The Pro Iron unit is a step away from Strange's Aluminum Ultra case, which yields a weight savings of around 10 pounds. Since we're not too worried about weight savings, the Pro Iron unit will work out great.
In order to stop this future bad boy, we'll utilize Wilwood Engineering's massive 14-inch rotors as well as the company's SL4R radial-mount four-piston calipers out back. In the previous issue of Super Chevy, we installed Wilwood's SL6R six-piston units up front along with 14-inch drilled discs. We shouldn't have any problems in the binder department.
Now follow along as we get down and dirty.
Pictured here is the CNC-mandrel-bent 4x2-inch rear frame and FAB9 rear housing as received from Chris Alston's Chassisworks. Since we were unsure of the rear end width and axle centerline needed, both items were ordered oversized so they could be cut to fit. The rear frame section is available pre-welded or can be obtained piece by piece with widths ranging from 34 to 50 inches. Once these components were put to the side, it was time to tackle the removal of the floor form Project Getaway.

Four weeks of Drupal
There will be 2–3 items posted in this series each week, until it is completed by end of August 2012.
This learning series is intended to take you from Drupal noob into a Drupal developer that can do basic and advanced site building, as well as the basics of module development – and more than the basics in theming. More importantly, you should be able to learn new Drupal skills without getting stuck on small things.
Much of the material in this course consists of links to other learning resources – not least here in the NodeOne learning library – but much of it is also new made for this series.
A quick presentation of the chapters in this course:
- Introducing Drupal: This introduces Drupal as a concept, and is the only chapter which is non-technical.
- Installation and more: This chapter contains videos (and some written tips) about how to install Drupal, move Drupal installations, enable modules, and more things that concerns working with the actual code base (and database) of your Drupal site.
- Content management: This chapter reuses the exercises found in The Boss exercise suite, for practicing your editorial skills with Drupal. The series Learn Drupal 7 with NodeOne is used as tutorials, covering all the important parts of Drupal core. (New videos were recorded for the Boss suite!)
- Content types, fields and entities: This chapter introduces site building -- using Drupal's online interface to customize the functionality on your site. Existing tutorials (Learn Drupal 7 with NodeOne and the References modules) are complemented with a number of exercises recorded for this course.
- Views basics: This chapter introduces the arguably most important of the Drupal modules: Views. You will spend a lot of time with this module. There are new exercises recorded for this course, but the tutorials are taken from the Taming the beast series.
- Intermediate Views: This chapter contains some more tricks of how to make the most out of Views.
- Advanced Views: In this chapter you will find exercises for using relationships and not least contextual filters in Views. Contextual filters is the key to using Views in a really flexible way.
- Features: This chapter contains tutorials, but no exercises, for how to use the Features module to export your site configuration into code -- and explains why this is a good thing.
- Additional Views modules: But we're not done with Views yet! This chapter shows some examples of how to extend the Views module, with data processing (Views Bulk Operations and DraggableViews), presentation (Views Accordion and Views Slideshow) and also to manage data that is not stored in your local database (XML Views and more). There are a few exercises as well.
- Flag: This chapter reuses the Learn Flag screencast series, as well as some previously published exercises. Flag is a good example of how a small module can become really useful if it integrates with frameworks from other modules (such as Views).
- Rules: Rules is another important framework module. This chapter reuses the Learn the Rules framework screencast series, and also contains a number of new exercises.
- Page manager: More important frameworks! Like the previous chapter, this one adds a number of new exercises to an existing tutorial series (Learn Page manager!).
- Writing a module: This chapter contains an example of how to write a Drupal module. This course won't present all the APIs that Drupal provides, but this chapter gives a (hopefully) pedagogical example of both core and contrib APIs that you can integrate with -- in a way that (hopefully) makes it possible to continue to explore module writing yourself.
- Introduction to Theming: This chapter covers the basics of Drupal theming pretty well, and shows how to install themes, and then create a sub theme to customize css, page layout, markup of elements, and also how to customize the variables available inside template files. It also contains somewhat less coherent tutorials of more advanced theming topics, such as working with theme functions, theming forms and working with render elements/arrays.
- Doing Drupal projects: This chapter contains only blog posts -- no videos. The posts are additional texts I wrote for the students in the course, which I think can be useful for the general public as well. The chapter also contains a description of the requirements to pass this course.
Two of the things this course does not cover are multi-lingual sites and content access restrictions.
It is estimated that you will be able to go through this material in four weeks, if you're working at high speed.
Have fun!
There will be 2–3 items posted in this series each week, until it is completed by end of August 2012.

QB64 - QuickBasic for Linux, Windows
Hi All
Here is a blast from the past.
QuickBasic still lives in the form of QB64.
The 64 in the name is confusing because QB64 is designed to run on
32 and 64 bit computers.
It runs in Linux, Windows XP, Vista , Windows 7 and Macs.
According to the QB64 web site it is 99% compatible with Qbasic
Qb45 (QuickBasic).
So all the keywords in QuickBasic are in QB64.
QB64 also has some new keywords that add new features to QuickBasic.
I have installed QB64 on my Lucid Puppy 582 machine.
Seeing the QuickBasic editor again after all these years brings
back such fond memories.
So if you are nostalgic about using QuickBasic again and
possibly having a language to make non Gui utility programs with
then please go to the following URLS.
Main Web Page
Wiki page that explains how to install QB64 in Puppy Linux
Thank you for your time in reading this E-Mail.

Looks cool. My, it's grown tho -- the XP download (my daily driver OS is still Windblows
) is nearly 80mb!
I've done some stuff in QBasic and used the QuickBasic 7.1 compiler on it... be fun to port it over to QB64... maybe.
Mostly what it was, was a little tiny text adventure that I kludged together out of if-then statements cuz I never learned how to make a parser

I had an
Amstrad PC2086
which came with DOS 3.3 and GW-BASIC and that was line BASIC but I was playing around with 8086 assembly by then. My next computer was a Viglen 386DX (Amstrad later bought the company) which came with DOS 5.x and QBasic which I used to prototype a game that I intended to write in assembly and I really enjoyed using it. There's a possibility it was my first introduction to structured programming because I can't remember using anything before that that didn't use GOTO or an equivalent. I still have the
QBasic book
that I bought at that time stored in one of my boxes.
I did compile QB64 and I was impressed by it since it simulates the ASCII IDE (MASM used it too) and compiles the programs to standalone binaries. It's a real nostalgia trip playing Gorillas
Since it is basically an SDL application I imagine it might be quite useful to have on a handheld device for when you want to code something on the train or plane.
I'm not interested in the politics of it. A parent might install this as a programming introduction for their child (on Linux) so it's not automatically bad because of MicroShaft, or whatever.

HACKER, I think we're having a bit of a miscommunication. I'm going to try to see if I can explain things a bit better to you -- once. I have only so much patience.
I'm already tempted to write you off as a troll, since you made a 2nd thread somewhere about this issue (which is a no-no), and your typing is borderline legible in that post, AND you seem to have mocked me in this thread.
So... here goes.
There is no concrete evidence on that forum that I can find where there is a mention of the QB64 project shutting down. Logically: if the project's end was fairly imminent, there would be a very prominent notice up, likely in several places, saying that there's an issue that the project can't handle and so things will close down on such-and-such a date.
There is no such notice.
You seem to see some signs that two people are fighting each other in that project. In the grand scheme of things, that really doesn't matter. One of them is the head of that project, and the other is (as I understand) a troll. (In fact, for all I know, you and him are the same person. Identity on the Internet is very much hard to establish in most cases.)
If the leader of this project is of any significance at all (which he should be) then he will be able to ban the troll without much if any consequence. Therefore, this is likely not a major issue.
Hence my remark: what you appear to be doing is spreading 'FUD'. I spelled out the acronym (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) in case you hadn't come across it before, as your sentences are constructed a bit too poorly for anyone to think that you're something other than a complete newcomer to this (mostly) wonderful thing we call an Internet.
Now... you've made a claim which you couldn't substantiate, and fully half your supposed 'evidence' is a post you made yourself -- which doesn't substantiate anything because it does not link to any proof.
To be honest, I didn't bother with the YouTube link. Anyone can post on YouTube -- and people can amass an incredible following off of very little -- look at all of that 'free energy' garbage that's on there, and how many comments there are from incredibly-gullible believers who troll the people that know better. (Look on Wikipedia --which is a trustable source, because it's much more well-moderated-- for the article on Thermodynamics, if you want to understand exactly why 'free energy' claims really are garbage.)
What you've done here is fairly similar to me claiming that I have a bright orange dinosaur in my basement, and then refusing to let anyone into the basement to see this dinosaur. Few if any would believe me, and few if any will believe you -- and those that do, are as gullible as the 'free energy' believers.
Since you apparently are incapable of supporting this apparent heralding-of-doom, I'm going to ask you to stop proclaiming about it, at least here. You are welcome to join in our discussions of other things --QB64 and otherwise-- but I think it's time to bring this particular claim to a close.

Technical Notes
The blood oranges of sultry Sicily traditionally splash Italian winters with color and warmth, ripening from late December to March like belated gifts from the summer sun.
This delightful Canella cocktail blends their crimson juice with the cool white sparkle of Prosecco wine from the paramount Prosecco family. Proportions are 80% Canella Prosecco and 20% juice and pulp of blood oranges from Sicily. The finest cultivars are orchestrated to achieve an ideal combination of flavor, fragrance and color: the darkest-hued, Moro; Tarocco, the tastiest and sweetest; and the tender Sanguinello.

Are there bee-killing pesticides in your garden?
Sound Consumer | October 2013
"Bee-friendly" garden plants sold by Home Depot, Lowe's and other top garden retailers around the country contain neonicotinoid pesticides that can poison bees. Consumers have no way of knowing if the plants they buy have been treated with the toxic pesticides, because the plants aren't labeled.
That's according to a first-of-its-kind study by Friends of the Earth and the Pesticide Research Institute. The finding has prompted more than 175,000 people across the country to demand these garden store retailers stop selling plants pre-treated with neonicotinoid pesticides shown to harm and kill bees.
EPA labels
The study was published just as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revealed new labels that prohibit the use of some neonicotinoids where bees are present. The label says in red letters, "This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators."
The labels will be used for four of the most widely used neonicotinoids — imidacloprid, dinotefuran, chlothianidin and thiamethoxam. But Friends of the Earth says it's unclear yet if products containing neonicotinoids sold for home gardens, or plants pre-treated with these pesticides, would be required to carry the label.
EPA's new labels are "a step in the right direction," says Lisa Archer, director of the Food and Technology Program at Friends of the Earth. But, she says, they still fall "far short of what is needed to protect bees and other pollinators." She says it's essential for home gardening products containing neonicotinoids to be labeled.
Toxic class of pesticides
A growing body of science worldwide has implicated neonicotinoids as a key factor in recent global bee die-offs. The European Union is suspending the use of three neonicotinoids later this year, after a scientific review by European Food Safety Authority found the pesticides pose an unacceptably high risk to bees. Beekeepers across the United States report losses of 40-90 percent of their bees last winter.
"Our investigation is the first to show that so called 'bee-friendly' garden plants contain pesticides that can poison bees, with no warning to gardeners," says Archer. "Bees are essential to our food system and they are dying at alarming rates. Neonics are a key part of the problem we can start to fix right now in our own backyards."
Neonicotinoids are the most widely used class of insecticides in the world. They're used routinely on more than 100 million acres of U.S. corn, wheat, soy and cotton and are in some home gardening products.
"Unfortunately, these pesticides don't break down quickly — they remain in the plants and the soil and can continue to affect pollinators for months to years after the treatment," says Timothy Brown, Ph.D., of the Pesticide Research Institute.
The high percentage of contaminated plants and their neonicotinoid concentrations suggest this problem is widespread, and that many home gardens likely have become a source of harm for bees.
"We must take immediate action to address this crisis," says Archer, adding that stores such as Home Depot and Lowe's have a moral obligation to refuse to sell neonicotinoids. "In the meantime, gardeners should start their plants from untreated seeds or choose organic plants for their gardens." A majority of the U.K.'s largest garden retailers already have stopped selling them.
In addition to pressuring retailers, U.S. groups are calling for the government to restrict the use of neonicotinoids. EPA is facing a federal lawsuit seeking limits on the use of the pesticides in the United States.
Save America's Pollinators Act
In July, U.S. Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) and John Conyers (D-Mich.) introduced the "Save America's Pollinators Act," which seeks to suspend the use of neonics on bee-attractive plants until EPA reviews all available data.
Rep. Blumenauer introduced the bill after 50,000 bumblebees died in a Target parking lot in Oregon when the neonic pesticide dinotefuran was applied to nearby trees. Also in July, 37 million honeybees were reported dead across a single farm in Ontario from the dust associated with planting neonic-treated corn seeds.
"The weight of accumulated evidence from scientists across Europe and North America shows neonicotinoids harm honey bees, bumble bees and other important pollinators," says Scott Hoffman Black, executive director of the Xerces Society. "Swift action is needed by all sectors of society to reduce the prevalence of these insecticides in our environment."

The Desert
"The Beduin of the desert, born and grown up in it, had embraced with all his soul this nakedness too harsh for volunteers, for the reason, felt but inarticulate, that there he found himself indubitably free. He lost material ties, comforts, all superfluities and other complications to achieve a personal liberty which haunted starvation and death. He saw no virtue in poverty herself: he enjoyed the little vices and luxuries — coffee, fresh water, women — which he could still preserve. In his life he had air and winds, sun and light, open spaces and a great emptiness. There was no human effort, no fecundity in Nature: just the heaven above and the unspotted earth beneath. There unconsciously he came near God."
T.E. Lawrence, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"

Watch James Bond - Skyfall in excellent quality on MyFMV MovieDB!
Short Discription:
MI6 agents James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Eve (Naomie Harris) assist on a mission in Turkey to recover a computer hard drive stolen from a murdered MI6 agent that contains details of almost all undercover NATO agents in terrorist organisations.
Plot (warning! contains spoilers):
The film begins in Istanbul, where James Bond (Daniel Craig) finds fellow MI6 agent Ronson critically wounded and the hard-drive of a laptop missing, the contents of the hard-drive not yet revealed. Bond gives chase to the enemy, a professional hitman by the name of Patrice (Ola Rapace), with the help of MI6 operative Eve (Naomie Harris), first by car, then by motorbike across the roofs of buildings until finally the two men end up on a train. Bond is shot in the shoulder by Patrice whilst trying to make his way onto the train. The two then begin fighting hand-to-hand on top of the moving train, whilst further up the line Eve has taken position with a rifle ready to take out Patrice, however Bond and Patrice are still grappling with each other denying Eve a clear shot. M (Judi Dench) gives the order to Eve to take the shot, but Bond is hit and falls into the river below, apparently dead.
M begins writing Bond's obituary. The next day she is ordered to a meeting with Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), the Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. Mallory reveals the hard drive contains the names of every undercover NATO agent embedded in terrorist organisations around the world. Mallory suggests that because of M's poor handling of the situation she should retire, or rather be forced to retire with full honours. She refuses and heads back to work. On the way there M's assistant Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear) discovers that someone has hacked MI6's database from M's computer and before they arrive at headquarters a huge explosion destroys M's office, killing eight employees. James Bond, alive and well in some tropical paradise enjoying nights of alcohol and women, hears about the attack and decides to head back to London. He confronts M at her home, where she tells him that he has been declared deceased and his property sold. He asks to rejoin the service, M agrees but tells him he will have to retake the tests to become a field agent again. He is taken to MI6's new base underground and his tests begin. Bond finds it difficult to remaster his marksmanship. He painfully manages to remove some of the shrapnel left in his shoulder from where Patrice shot him and sends it off for analysis. He is called in to see M, meeting Eve along the way, who has been suspended from field duty and is now assisting Mallory. In M's office, Bond is surprised that one of M's less tasteful desk ornaments, a white china bulldog with a Union Jack flag painted on its back, survived the explosion. M tells Bond he has barely passed, and can resume normal service. She sends him to Shanghai to find Patrice, having traced the bullet to him. She also sends him to meet the new Quartermaster, or "Q" (Ben Whishaw), who hands Bond a radio to be used to send for help and new model Walther PPK with a hand-print sensor that makes the pistol usable only by Bond.
Bond travels to Shanghai and follows Patrice to a skyscraper where he is undertaking another assassination on a man in the building opposite. Patrice successfully assassinates his target and the two get into a fistfight, and Patrice falls to his death before Bond can learn who hired him. A woman in the opposite building (Bérénice Marlohe) stares at Bond, until he disappears under cover of darkness. Bond finds a casino chip amongst Patrice's equipment for a casino in Macau. Bond travels to the casino, hands in the chip and is given 4 million euros for the assassination by the cashier, mistakenly believing Bond to be the hitman. Bond runs into the woman from the opposite skyscraper, Sévérine. Bond deduces that she is a sex slave and asks to meet her employer. She warns Bond that he is about to be killed, but should he survive he should go on her yacht to meet and then kill her employer. Bond is attacked trying to leave the casino, but is aided by some captive Komodo Dragons and Eve, who had traveled there to lend assistance. Bond makes it to Sévérine's yacht and the two have sex.
The next day they approach an island full of derelict buildings and are taken prisoner by the crew of the yacht. They are separated as Bond is taken to see Sévérine's employer Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). Silva reveals that he is a former MI6 agent whom M betrayed by leaving him to be imprisoned and tortured at the hands of the enemy; M apparently gave him up because she felt the things he was doing were too dangerous. Silva also reveals that M has sent him out on a mission despite the fact that Bond failed all of his tests, shaking Bond's trust of her. They head out to a courtyard where Sévérine stands tied up and beaten. Placing a small tumbler of whiskey on Sévérine's head, he chides her to stand up straight, and then challenges Bond to a shooting match. Bond's hand with the gun is unsteady, and misses, perhaps deliberately, but Silva wastes no time in shooting her in the forehead. Bond kills Silva's guards, and after calling for support from Royal Navy helicopters through Q's radio, captures Silva and returns to the UK.
M confronts Silva about his attacks, but he questions her as to why she abandoned him, and she leaves to answer MP's questions, visibly shaken. Q attempts to access Silva's computer, but when he does MI6's security systems fail, freeing Silva. Bond chases him through London's underground system. On the way, Silva disguises himself as a police officer, but Q manages to relocate him through CCTV images. Bond finally corners him but Silva detonates a bomb and derails a train to throw Bond off his tracks and allow him time to escape. Silva and a group of his henchmen, all dressed as police officers turn up at the meeting where M is addressing MP's. He begins shooting the guards, but Bond arrives just in time to move M away to safety. Bond drives her off alone, hoping to use her as bait to draw Silva out. Along the way they change cars to prevent them from easily being tracked, and Bond switches to his old Aston Martin DB5, with all the defense systems still working. He asks Q to create a trail that only Silva could follow, which meets with Mallory's approval.
Bond and M travel to Scotland to the Bond family estate called 'Skyfall'. There they meet shotgun-wielding estate gamekeeper Kincade (Albert Finney) who offers his assistance in fighting Silva and his men. They improvise a series of booby-traps around the house in preparation for the assault. The first wave men of Silva's men approach, and are taken care of by the booby traps, the DB5's machine guns, Bond and Kincade, however M is hit in the abdomen by a bullet. The second wave and Silva himself, approach by helicopter. Bond orders Kincade and M to escape through a secret tunnel beneath the moor that leads to a chapel while he holds off the assault. Bond is pinned down by heavy machine gun fire from the helicopter and by Silva throwing grenades into the house. Bond improvises by blowing up two gas canisters with dynamite. The resulting explosion destroys the helicopter, much of the house and kills all but Silva and two of his men. Bond escapes through the same tunnel as Kincade and M. Silva spots Kincade's torch (flashlight) in the distance and sets off in pursuit. Bond knocks out the first henchmen and kills the second by choking him beneath a frozen lake. He arrives at the chapel to find Silva asking M to shoot both of them and end their misery. Bond throws a knife into his back, killing him, but M succumbs to her bullet wound and dies, leaving Bond distraught. He returns to London, where Eve finds him on a rooftop, contemplating the skyline. She hands him a small box and tells him that M's will had been read that morning, and that she had left Bond something. He opens it to find the white china bulldog with the Union Jack nestled in tissue paper, and smiles. Eve tells him that she has declined fieldwork and taken a desk job, revealing that her last name is "Moneypenny." Mallory becomes the new M and hands Bond his next assignment.

Marlborough K-9 unit and Hudson police bring suicidal woman to safety
Marlborough – The Marlborough Police Department K-9 unit shared this status on its Facebook page regarding the efforts of Officer Ken McKenzie and K9 partner "Kaiser," along with members of the Hudson Police Department, which resulted in a suicidal woman being brought to safety:
On May 23rd, at approximately 1930 hrs, K9 Kaiser and Officer Mckenzie, assisted Hudson Police Dept. with a suicidal female who allegedly consumed three hundred unknown pills and was armed with a jagged piece of a broken mirror.
Upon arrival, Hudson officers established a solid perimeter and directed K9 Kaiser and Officer McKenzie to the last know location of this distraught female.
K9 Kaiser was able to ascertain her last location and tracked from the park out to and along the roadside where Kaiser showed great interest in a nearby hedge row. Kaiser was pulling hard in his harness and wanted to get into the bushes. Once Kaiser located an opening he darted into the bushes. Due to the thick bushes, Officer McKenzie held him back and bent down and forced his way into the bushes. Once Ofc. McKenzie exited the other side, he immediately observed a female curled up under the bushes holding onto a large jagged piece of a mirror. Officer McKenzie was able to remove this potential weapon.
Thanks to K9 Kaiser, the distraught female was located shortly after she fled her residence where time was critical due to her frame of mind, medication taken and possessing a weapon. The suicidal female was brought to the hospital for evaluation. Officer McKenzie and Kaiser wish this female a speedy recovery.
It should be noted, the success of this operation would not have been possible without the fast response of the Hudson Police Department and their scene management. Thank you to Sgt Vroom, Officers' Donovan Hatstat and Veo ….. Well done gentlemen !!

This is the sixth in a series of researched articles on the oil and gas industry, the situation in the North Sea and the relation of this overall picture to a potentially independent Scotland.
We are publishing these as a series because oil is one of the most important, complex, contentious – and fascinating – matters of wide interest, given its role in the ongoing campaigns for independence from the United Kingdom and for the retention and revisioning of that union.
Articles – some short, some longer – will cover, in this order:
- The Industry Today
- Europe and Shale Oil
- The North Sea
- The Wood Report
- North Sea Investment
- Refining
- The UK refineries
- Grangemouth – the game changer
The purpose of the series is to inform, not to promote any political stance, although there are political indicators in the facts of the matter.
The previous five articles in this series have been essentially concerned with extraction. This one moves to look at the refining sector, the link between production and the end user.
Today's oil industry is delivering a bit of a dilemma to refineries. With sour heavy crudes much of the long term future but the gush of American sweet light shale oil – or tight oil – having bowled a googly at the market, refineries are having a strategic choice to make.
Do they gear up to refine crudes, which are cheaper to buy, with Canada's Alberta oil sands output the cheapest of the lot, offering the highest profit margins? But crudes are slower and more complex to refine – with a greater number of processes involved to extract sellable product from it at every stage. For example, the second stage in refining is 'cracking' – applying extreme heat to break up the crude into the different hydrocarbons. The 'bottoms' – the thick residues from heavy crudes left at the bottom of the various refining towers – are sometimes taken out of the process early and sent out as asphalt. Crudes also create significantly greater carbon emissions in the refining process. All of these factors create higher production costs.
Do they pay more for the sweet light crudes pouring out of the USA but see a quicker throughput to market at the refining end – as these crudes yield their products more easily, with fewer stages of processing.
There are increasing volumes of cheap heavy crudes available – principally from Canada. The UK will see EnQuest's new Kraken Field heavy crude asset into production in a couple of years; and much of the North Sea's remaining assets are in heavy and ultra heavy crudes, with the newer assets in production on the Clair Ridge, west of Shetland, also heavy crudes.
Refiners processing Canadian heavy crudes make higher profits on all their products – partly because they can make more diesel from dilbit [diluted bitumen] due to the physical properties of the crude. Diesel gets higher prices than gasoline in export markets because demand is high. Light sweet oil grades, including the discounted types now flooding America's Gulf Coast from the Bakken and Eagle Ford shales, produce a higher volume of gasoline.
This situation is relevant to the European refining industry – with small, out of date plants unable to process dilbit – and closing in numbers; and with the most frequent criticism of both European and UK refineries being that their 'product slate' is unresponsive to market demand.
This centres on over-production of gasoline and kerosene from light crudes; and under-production of diesel from the heavy crudes they're not geared up to refine. With the market clearly and for some time having turned away from petrol and towards diesel, this product slate is not good business.
An EU Round Table on refining in May 2012, found: 'the need to assess and monitor the EU's petroleum products security of supply situation as well as monitor current and future EU legislative proposals for potential negative impacts on the competitiveness of the EU refining sector'.
A month ago, in October 2013, Hungary's MOL Group took the decision to close Italy's 52,000 barrels per day (bpd) Mantua refinery on New Year's Eve and to convert it into a product storage terminal.
David Wech, managing director of Vienna-based JBC Energy consultancy. said that around 330,000 bpd of European refining capacity – or six Mantua refineries – 'need to be shut down every year by 2020 in order to meet declining demand and rising competitive pressures'.
The second problem for the remaining European refineries and the UK plants is born of the way the energy demands of the developing countries is shaping the industry. America's indigenous shale oil production has recently seen it hand over to China as the world's biggest importer.
The pressure on European and UK refineries will be accelerated by the expected growth of refineries in Asia Pacific and China. OPEC predict that consequently, world wide, by 2018 there will be over capacity in refining – with 'an overhang' of 4 million barrels a day.
With the American east coast refineries and their petrochemical plants gearing up in large measure to deal with the burgeoning output from the shales and with exports booming, the more remote-from-source European and UK refineries are looking at an increasingly tough price-competitive market, which will see more closures in UK refineries and, for the time being, continuing restricted production from the North Sea.
There is wide acceptance that the contraction of the European refining industry is permanent, with KPMG saying in June 2012: 'The European refining industry has gone through numerous cycles, but this time many of the changes are likely to prove permanent and we expect the current trends of falling demand, rising imports, increasing European legislation, growing competition from emerging markets and eroding margins to continue.'

St. Petersburg, FL-- The state has filed a lawsuit against the VA.
Bay Pines is one of several hospitals at the center of the controversy.
Officials want to know what's going on inside the hospitals and if our veterans are getting the proper care that they deserve.
The VA operates 6 hospitals in Florida. Two of which are in the Bay Area; Bay Pines in St. Petersburg and James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa.
The state said that it tried sending its own inspectors to some of those VA hospitals, but they were turned away.
The issue is that VA hospitals are run by the Federal Government not the state.
Governor Rick Scott was on our morning show a week ago and had this to say about the lawsuit being filed.
"They are sitting in our state. We have to stand up for our veterans. We work with the Federal Government in so many ways, they should welcome our help. They should say 'come on in, help us make sure we improve the care.'"
The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of two veterans.
Nancy Hall who lost her husband to tongue cancer in 2005 claims that Haley VA medical center failed to give him the treatment he needed prior to his death.
The other veteran in the lawsuit is Roland Dickerson, he explained that he wasn't getting proper healthcare at Bay Pines and was forced to go outside of the VA for healthcare and is now paying out of pocket for private healthcare.

Outside the formal context of science, the term "plant" refers to an association or group of organisms with certain characteristics including multicellularity, cellulose and the process of photosynthesis. Plants are briefly categorized as green algae, bryophytes, pteridophyte and seed plants. Internally the genotype of the plants affects its growth, however there are number of external products that affect or stimulate plant growth. Unfortunately in certain cases, mineral concentrations are quite low in certain plants, especially in staple food crops. The human history has seen number of plant foods discovered by various scientists and biologists that helps in development of plant. Some of these products include Amphetamine, Methylphenidate, Methylenedioxymethamphetamine and many such plant food products. However one product still accounts for majority of plant consumption - 4-methylmethcathinone. Well known as the "psychoactive drug", 4-methylmethcathinone is most commonly sold as crystalline white powder or capsules containing powder. All these plant food plays a very important role in the overall development of growing plants.
4-methylmethcathinone4-methylmethcathinone plant food is a synthetic stimulant with pathogenic affects that has gained popularity in recent times. Also known as Mephedrone or 4-MMC, this plant food has more impact due to its short duration affect and intense rush. Many times, the effects of 4-methylmethcathinone are often compared to cocaine, methamphetamine and many such euphoric stimulants. As the name carries "CAT", 4-methylmethcathinone is also termed as Meow or MCAT. The good news for people who want to buy Mephedrone is that it is easily available, cheap and legal. Customers can select wide range of 4-MCAT including 1g MCAT, 2g MCAT, 5g MCAT, 10g MCAT, 25g MCAT, 50g MCAT and 100g MCAT. These packets come under variety of prices including 19 USD, 38 USD, 96 USD, 160 USD, 300 USD, 400 USD and 800USD.
4-methylmethcathinone crystals cause euphoria, stimulation and empathy. Vast amount of 4-methylmethcathinone is sold as a plant food via internet through online plant food shop. Purity of such products stands at 99.9% with excellent quality and very little odour. For immediate results, controlled amount of 4-methylmethcathinone must be used.
However its being proved that human consumption of 4-methylmethcathinone powder can cause some serious damage to the body. Hence it is highly recommended to keep 4-MMC away from the reach of childrens as this chemical substance can have negative consequences if consumed by humans. It is very essential that clinical biologists and physicians work together to ensure better understanding of toxicity of such food plants including 4-MMC.
Plant food industry has been growing on a very high rate since its inception. World plant food industry comprises of various online plant food store that are working on large, mid and small scale. Owing to the fast paced growth of plant food suppliers, it can be easily concluded that plant food industry will go a long way.

Amount, the simple and gesture-based app that is my current unit conversion utility app of choice, has just received a new update.
As I pointed out when I posted about the app's previous update, Amount is so named apparently because it asks you to enter the amount you want to convert before anything else.
Indeed, only after you've entered an amount does the app ask you which measurement category you want that amount to be converted in. Then, you're given all of the conversion for you specified amount in the different units under your chosen category.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
As it happens, the latest update to Amount adds support for a number of new units and includes miscellaneous improvements:
- Added Nautical miles into "Length" category.
- Added Megapascal into "Pressure" category.
- Added Grains and Stones into "Weight/Mass" category.
- Added CLP and NGN into "Currency" category.
- Added US barrels (dry) and US barrels (liquid) into "Volume" category.
- Added Toggle edit mode button into header (instead of tapping the title).
- Added Select all/Deselect all button into edit mode.
- Moved the button to switch between negative and positive numbers directly in the keyboard (if in Temperature category).
- Added a tutorial for the app at first launch.
- Corrected some issues that may occur when the number is being edited.
Optimized for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later, the new version of Amount is available now in the App Store.
A couple of weeks ago, the app went free, but it had reverted to its regular price a few days ago. If you weren't able to get it while it's available at no cost, you can download it now for only $0.99.

OSSINING, N.Y. – Ossining Mayor William Hanauer wants residents to know that the village is responding to an incident that sent three Sleepy Hollow teens to the hospital Friday night.
Three junior varsity Sleepy Hollow football players were taken to Phelps Memorial Hospital Friday night after they reported that they were assaulted and harassed by 15 to 20 teenagers in downtown Ossining, police said earlier this week. All three of the teens were later treated and released for "minor injuries," police said. Hanauer called the behavior of the Ossining teenagers "abhorrent" and "unacceptable" during Tuesday night's Village of Ossining Work Session in Town Hall.
"Often, as on Friday evening, teens act before thinking and mob mentality gives rise to greater vitriol and cover to incendiary behavior," Hanauer said. "This is not what Ossining is all about. But this is not a moment either for panic or rash action."
Hanauer said village and town officials would discuss the issue further during Friday morning's Intermunicipal Leadership Council quarterly meeting. He added that Tuesday afternoon's rescheduled game between the two schools' junior varsity football teams was without incident.
Meanwhile, Ossining High School and Sleepy Hollow High School representatives said they are saddened by the incident and acknowledge that it could have been related to the sports rivalry between the two districts.
"We absolutely do not tolerate any form of violence whatsoever involving our students so we were very saddened by this," said Phyllis Glassman, superintendent of the Ossining School District. Glassman added that she and other Ossining officials recently spoke to school officials in Sleepy Hollow about addressing the incident with the students. "What will come of this will be something very positive."
Ossining High School Principal Joshua Mandel and Athletic Director James Dennett are organizing a meeting this week with students from both districts to discuss the incident, Glassman said.
"They are going to be jointly meeting to really talk about issues surrounding violence. The idea is to bring students together and talk about zero tolerance," Glassman said. "We know that 99 percent of the time both schools are terrific so it's just so unfortunate that this incident did occur. We're trying to turn this into a positive learning experience for our students."
Glassman later noted that the reported incident did not take place on school property and that there were no incidents on school property on Friday night.
Howard Smith, superintendent of the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, said he was saddened by the incident but pleased that the school districts were working on moving forward. The junior varsity football game between the two teams was rescheduled from Saturday to Tuesday afternoon in Ossining.
"Kids being attacked for their association with an organization or with the schools or anything else is not a lesson we want them to learn," Smith said. "We are still educators and we can try to help kids come out of this with a learning experience. What we can do as adults is minimize the likelihood of those things happening in the future. I think that's a healthy approach."

There are now racial quota limits for punishment in the Minneapolis schools. On the surface, this may look like a favor to blacks. But only on the surface. Anyone with common sense knows that letting a kid get away with bad behavior is an open invitation to worse behavior in the future.
If a conservative, or even a mere Republican, had made the statements Professor Jonathan Gruber freely delivered at a policy forum a year ago, he or she would have been repudiated by the mass media, shunned by colleagues, and sent out to some pasture.

In my completely honest opinion and not just saying this to be nice, I REALLY do not think that Charlize is that pretty at all. And she annoys me. You are beautiful AND funny so you two really can't complete with each other. she loses. you win. the end.
also celeb crush for me is alex pettyfer.

Lol I was just writing a post about how I don't get turned on by pictures of celebrities or people in general. I fall for people based on personality, so pictures just don't do it for me. I love how you are talking about NPH. Gotta love the gay boys ;)
