Kirkland Young, LLC, a limited liability company, and David Botton, individually and as manager of Kirkland Young, LLC, Defendants. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND EX PARTE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER WITH ASSET FREEZE AND OTHER EQUITABLI, RELIEF Plaintiff, Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or the "Commissic n"), has filed a Complaint for Injunctive and other Equitable Relief pursuant to Section 13(b) and 19 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTC Act"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 53(b) and 57b, and the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act ("Tel err. arketing Act"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 6101-6108, and an emergency motion for an ex parte tempor,try restraining order with asset freeze and other equitable relief, and order to show cause, pursmu 1t to Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This Court has considered Plaintiffs Complaint, Motion, and the declarations, exhibits, and memoranda submitted in support thereof, and finds as follows: 1. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of thi:. case, and there is good cause to believe that it will have jurisdiction over all parties hereto; 1 11/20109 FRI 10:08 FAX !4I002 2. There is good cause to believe that venue lies properly w th this Court; 3. There is good cause to believe that Kirkland Young, LLC , and David Botton (herein collectively referred to as "Defendants") have engaged, and are Jikely to continue to engage, in acts or practices that violate Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 J.S.c. § 45(a), as well as various provisions of the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR"), 16 C.F.R. Dart 310, and that the FTC is therefore likely to prevail on the merits of this action. 4. There is good cause to believe that immediate and iITepru able damage to the Court's ability to grant effective final relief for consumers in the form 0 'monetary restjtution will occur from the sale, transfer, or other disposition or concealment b) Defendants of their assets or corporate records unless Defendants are immediately restraine( t and enjoined by Order of this Court. There is thus good cause for an asset freeze, the appointrr ent of a temporary receiver over the Receivership Defendant, as defined herein, immediate access to Defendants' business premises, and for relieving Plaintiff of the duty to provide Def< :ndants with prior notice of Plaintiff s motion. Based on the foregoing, there is good cause to iss le this order on an ex parle basis. 5. The Court has considered the FTC's likelihood ofultimate success and weighed the equities, and fmds that a temporary restraining order providing for a 1 asset freeze, the appointment of a temporary receiver, the preservation of business recon is, financial disclosures, and other equitable relief is in the public interest. 6.

text: So, I have cross stitched plenty, but had never embroidered anything. I thought it was pretty much the same....I was wrong - it's SOOOO much harder! This is my first completed embroidered item and I am SOOOO proud of it! I used the pattern from Stitcher's Revolution called Rock - n - Roll. I didn't like the size, so I resized it via a scanner and then traced it onto my handkerchief. I knew I wanted to be more fancy than just doing the outline....so this is what i came up with. It took FOREVER! but when all is said and done, I like how the shading turned out and even though the red metallic thread was a pain, I think it adds a nice touch.

And he's hugging the porcelain on, on Saturday night. Trying to get ready for 6:45 a.m. tee time the next day. Paul Casey in a landslide. Actually, I disagree with that because he was probably going to lose even if he wasn't sick. Jordan Spieth deserved to be in those final 16, and who knows what would have happened.

Coordinated car bombs ripped through mostly Shia neighbourhoods in Baghdad during rush hour, killing at least 30 people, the latest in spiralling violence in recent months.BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An al Qaeda affiliate claimed responsibility for a series of bombings in Baghdad and other areas of Iraq in retaliation for the execution of Sunni Muslim prisoners, according to an Internet statement on Friday.Hundreds of people have been killed in attacks across Iraq in recent weeks in the worst wave of sectarian bloodshed in the country for at least five years. Just last week, car bombs, roadside bombs and shootings have killed at least 100 people.The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) said in a statement it had acted in response to the prisoner killings, an apparent reference to the execution of 17 people in Iraq this month, most convicted on terrorism charges."We will avenge the blood of our brothers," said the statement, posted on a website used by Islamist militants.An insurgency by Sunni Islamist militants, including the local branch of al Qaeda, against Iraq's Shi'ite-led government, has been gaining momentum 18 months after the last U.S. troops withdrew.The Islamic State of Iraq has significantly increased its attacks this year. More than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in July, the highest monthly death toll since 2008, according to the United Nations.More than two years of civil war in neighboring Syria have aggravated deep-rooted sectarian divisions and shaken Iraq's fragile coalition of Shi'ite, Kurdish and Sunni factions.The renewed violence has sparked fears of a return to the large-scale sectarian slaughter in 2006 and 2007.(Reporting By Ali Abdelaty; Writing by Maha El Dahan; editing by Sami Aboudi and Elizabeth Piper)More from GlobalPost: Yemen drone strike kills Al Qaeda leader possibly on honeymoon

there are some galleries that first show the tiny thumbnails, then a medium image, and then the full image.

Q: How possible would it be for the Heat to acquire new role players such as Gary Neal and Carlos Boozer if they trade Birdman, Mario Chalmers, or even Udonis Haslem? It just seems to me that the Heat should look into other options and trade the guys that still have a little value and can give the Heat somewhat of a return for them. -- Joe, Grand Rapids, Mich.
A: First, if Dwyane Wade comes back,...Read more
In the views of some draft experts, the Miami Heat's selection of Justise Winslow was the steal of the NBA draft. To some of the wise guys, the forward out of Duke doesn't measure up with quite the same respect.

Having remained with the same team with the same number for 12 years apparently has its drawbacks. And, no, this has nothing to do with Dwyane Wade's free agency.
When the NBA on Tuesday released its list of top selling jerseys, Wade's name was missing from the Top 15.
The drop-off, however, was not necessarily a referendum on the Miami Heat, with the Heat rankling 10th in merchandise sales based...Read more
Q: So how can Pat Riley turn the clock back and make Dwyane Wade the highest-paid player on the team? Seriously, how? Maybe this is about the max contract they gave Chris Bosh and now the one they're going to give Goran. But if Wade walks away from the Heat and plays elsewhere, not only won't he be the highest paid, but he also won't be viewed as the franchise player he is now. In Miami, even with...Read more
With Dwyane Wade again a free agent, perhaps it's time to add perspective on the salary he has left on the table in recent years, a number that has grown inflated in some calculations because of a multiplier effect.
Basically, Wade has opted out of the same contract twice, with many simply taking the money left on the table and then multiplying it each time the contract has been revised.
It all starts...Read more
Q: Why is no one talking about trading Zoran Dragic? He doesn't seem to add any value to the team and in drafting Josh Richardson, the Heat have a surfeit of second-string shooting guards (Tyler Johnson, Zoran Dragic, Henry Walker and Richardson, even Justise Winslow could play the position). Of the group considered expendable, cutting Walker and trading Dragic give the most cap room. -- Malcolm,...Read more

Empirical Analysis of a Ring Pendulum
2, 4, 6, 8: Part 2 of 5
I do not think that varying the mass will affect the period of oscillation. Because the
pendulum is based off the force of gravity and all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration, I
believe that this property will apply to the pendulum and mass will not affect the period of
I believe that the value of night expected in this experiment is a 2 because the pendulums
movement has to do with the moment of inertia where I=mr^2. Thus the relationship between
the rings diameter and period would be quadratic. If n=1, the relationship would be linear. If
n=3, the relationship would be a cubic function.
If the period of oscillation did depend on the mass of the ring, it could be incorporated
into the empirical equation, would change to be where some constant, b, divided by the mass of
the object makes up the constant a in the empirical equation.
8. The uncertainty of the period should be calculated based off of the standard deviation.
5 (part 2). We should use rings of widely different diameters to provide a more accurate
depiction of the relationship between ln(T) vs. ln(D). Rings of similar diameters make it more
difficult to observe the relationship between these two variables.
