One upside is he can play left wing.
Looking at what he was paid last year, the NH:L salaries before this year and even the signing so far this summer in the shadow of the CBA cluster****, I don't think it's bad at all. Agree to disagree. And I couldn't give a crap if Dolan blinked or Jagr wanted it because Nylander brings the exact ability we need for OUR 1st line C..
And you're getting this "he could have been signed for one year" from where exactly...I haven't seen to many one year contracts for players of his ilk this summer and any summer...
And I too am a little worried about his injury history but let's be real, before last year he played three full years in a row and not playing less than 80 games.....That's shows some durability

All three of them took the top secret Class S and discovered the outside world.

Prepare to embark on a journey with DREAMERS, with their unique brand of grunge that is nostalgic for a space somewhere between art-school eccentric and the late 1970s punk scene. Drawing inspiration from the likes of John Lennon and David Lynch, DREAMERS are ready to send their kaleidoscopic sound out into the universe. ?
Following their debut on Interview Magazinelast week, the now-New York based three piece release a surprise cover of Nirvana's, "Drain You," on USA Today as an homage to their Seattle roots.
"Covering Drain You is our tribute to those infinitely deep personal connections music can make, when it blends indistinguishably into your memories and your whole reality. Allegedly, Drain You was one of Kurt's favorites that didn't get enough play, so here is one more for you," singer/guitarist, Nick Wold told USA Today.

Sadly this company is full of false promises, I too was very excited about the possibilities of this device and even \\\'backed\\\' them $115 to their Kickstarter campaign. It was projected that they would be finished with building the device about a year after receiving funding. Well That was about two years ago and from the comments left by backers like me all show that none got their reward and the company has left no trail for means to contact them. Its a take the money and run agenda from what I\\\'ve experienced. Though I still think this device would be an amazing tool for a cool and clean way to charge up small devices, I just wish Epiphany was trust worthy.

Nice idea, but the numbers don't work out (as many in the kickstarter comments section point out). First year thermodynamics, and no amount of clever engineering will avoid the inevitable. Plus, if the cup is only weakly thermally connected to the puck, the efficiency is even worse. For example, a paper coffee cup, or a ceramic cup, maintains an insulating air gap on their bottom surfaces. Which will kill the transfer of energy from the liquid to the stirling engine.

Nexus: Then And Now
Nexus: Then And Now
On June 7 of 2010, eight men shook the wrestling world by making the boldest statement seen on live television in years. The eight rookies of WWE's NXT feature followed up the lengthy elimination contest by forming an alliance and attacking two of the most significant pro wrestlers of our generation.
The group went by the name Nexus and attacked John Cena and CM Punk during Raw's main event bout. The group went above and beyond to make an impact. Cameramen and commentators were assaulted and the Raw set was torn apart. The group also proceeded to take the ring apart which has never been seen on before.
Nexus featured NXT winner Wade Barrett, independent wrestling sensation Daniel Bryan, monstrous mammoths by the name of Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver, American lawyer and reality television star David Otunga, South African native Justin Gabriel, a ginger by the name of Heath Slater and Darren Young.
The popular question at the time was about what kind of mark would Nexus leave as a group and as individuals? Many members of the WWE Universe and the media alike debated over which Nexus members were the standouts with bright futures and which ones were sure to be associated which the future endeavored tag.
Since then most members of the group have gone on to hit some impressive highs while others endured some lows. All-in-all it would be fair to say that the WWE's investment in the stable has paid off.
Let's take a look at each members progression.
Wade Barrett
The winner of the original NXT contest flourished from the get go with his bare-knuckle boxing style and his finely tuned mic skills. In his earlier days, Barrett was the leader of Nexus and then The Corre. After failing to accumulate some significant victories and coming short during the big title bouts, Barrett was repackaged with a more aggressive ring style. He called this movement "The Barrett Barrage."
Unfortunately, the promising Englishman suffered a dislocated elbow injury which kept him off WWE television for the majority of 2012. In recent months, Barrett quickly captured the attention of the WWE Universe with yet another evolution. Barrett began to sport a scruffy beard and further transitioned his in-ring style to his brawling ways. He has earned some notable wins since against the likes of Randy Orton and is set to face Kofi Kingston at the TLC PPV with the Intercontinental title on the line.
Daniel Bryan
American Dragon was an independent wrestling sensation who was once dubbed as the best wrestler in the world. Sound familiar? However, his early days in the WWE did not seem to reflect such sentiments. Bryan started out on NXT being mentored by The Miz whose career was the polar opposite of his. This created quite the controversy among wrestling die-hard fans. Bryan was eliminated early and was constantly berated by WWE commentator Michael Cole for being an "indy guy". Bryan's struggles continued when Nexus formed and Bryan was legitimately fired for being too aggressive in the stable's debut. Bryan was seen spitting on John Cena and choking ring announcer Justin Roberts with a neck tie.
After returning to the independent scene, Bryan was signed back for the SummerSlam PPV as a member of Team WWE to face off against Nexus in a seven-on-seven main event bout. Bryan's star began to shine as he captured the US Championship, a Money In The Bank briefcase, the World Heavyweight Championship, and most recently the WWE Tag Team Championships with tag partner Kane. The WWE has also invested in Bryan as a character developing a lady's man persona at first followed by the "Yes!" and "No!" chants. Nowadays, he can be seen in a highly invested comedic role with Kane as a dysfunctional tag team.
Skip Sheffield/Ryback
Ryback's journey into the world of professional wrestling started when he made it as one of the eight finalists on WWE Tough Enough 4. He has since been a development territory journeyman and one of the eight rookies to be featured on WWE's new program, NXT.
Persistence paid off for the caloric indulging machine after suffering setbacks from injuries to a Wellness Policy suspension. Since January 2012 Ryback has been stepping into the ring in one-sided affairs has become a regular PPV feature. He is currently feuding with the WWE Champion CM Punk and The Shield to the echoes of the masses chanting, "Feed me more!
Justin Gabriel
Gabriel began his career competing in the UK and South Africa. After being signed to a WWE development contract, Gabriel progressed his way from development to the main stage in less than two years. He made his start on the NXT feature and soon after with the Nexus stable like everyone else. Gabriel came in third place on NXT and has since been one of the more dependable newcomers with his mix of impressive aerial maneuvers and ability to perform at an elite level within the WWE style.
Despite the multiple tag team championships and being well supported by the WWE fan base, Gabriel has mostly been a star with promise and no significant push. One must assume that they are grooming him and waiting for the right time. Ideally, Gabriel can be one of the few leading men to reinvigorate a cruiserweight division that is nearly non-existent (Gabriel vs. Tyson Kidd anyone?). Cruiserweight features have always been a successful showcase in the past from ECW's prime to the mid days of WCW and notably with Impact Wrestling's X-Division. Here's hoping that Gabriel gets a ball to run with.
Heath Slater
"Slaters gonna slate!" The trending meme that plays off the more commonly known "haters gonna hate" phrase is an appropriate reflection of how the WWE Universe views Slater. That negative attitude is more common among the internet wrestling community who do not recognize his accomplishments from being a former FCW champion to a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion.
To be honest, I thought Slater was going to be the first to be released or at least spend years in jobber purgatory. However, it seems office is well behind him with his current role as the leader of the newly formed faction of 3MB. The stable may likely never reach the main event scene but a ball is surely to be placed in their hands. It might be a shitty ball to run with but you can bet that 3MB and Slater will do their best to turn chicken shit into chicken salad.
David Otunga
The Harvard law graduate and beau of celebrity Jennifer Hudson seems to have long term security as a professional wrestler. Despite being related to on-camera roles and squash matches Otunga consistently appears on WWE television and often as a sidekick to more prominent heels.
The NXT runner-up's portfolio includes portraying the legal advisor of former WWE General Manager John Laurinatis and winning the WWE Tag Team Championship that seems to have been held by every member of the original Nexus faction. Otunga's wild card is his exceptional physique which will always come as a plus in the land of giants. Maybe he is more than just a body since he hasn't been given a chance to showcase more. Then again, he hasn't done much to earn more air time either.
Darren Young
Not much can be said about Young's earlier days. He made his way through development and onto the first season of NXT. He didn't make much noise and that lack of excitement continue during his tenure as a member of Nexus. He later was featured on NXT's fifth season entitled NXT: Redemption where he feuded with Horsnwoggle and Titus O'Neil.
During that time frame Young served a 30-day suspension under the Wellness Policy and came back to end his feud with O'Neil. The feud ended with O'Neil turning heel and the start of the Prime time Players was under way. The tag team was the first time Young received real direction and had something to work with. Despite the fact that the duo haven't made much noise they have picked up some momentum in past months that was highlighted by a recent episode of Raw where PTP shined as guests on commentary.
The future looks bright for the duo and Young has plenty to be grateful about because he may have just been on his way out if nothing came his way. I for one look forward to watching PTP as regulars on WWE programming and hope they are kept together for the long term as they have a lot to offer up to a weak tag division.

LineageII Orc Female
This is a piece I have been struggling with for a looong time, taking it out and dusting it off to work with it some more every now and then. Since it's meant as a gift for a friend though, I would like to finally get it finished. Please, anything you can think of to make this a real beauty would help! I want to make my friend whoop in delight!

legs feel a bit to long though
and the leg from the front is a bit to thick
compare "her" left hand with the whole leg, in comparison, see what i mean?
(not such a big problem though)
I'd rework the stone if i where you
look a bit to smooth
and I'd suggest adding some texture either brush or combined with a overlay
the space up in the left corner feel a bit empty and since there is a light source reflecting on the stone I'd make the clouds up their brighter and yellow/red orange an let it reflect on her skin, I think it would support the cool (blue) light great!
hmmm.... I'd erase the dust around her head, looks a bit off
you did an excellent wok on the face
whoo keep it up!!!

I would have to agree with hygami that something feels missing in the left hand corner. Perhaps if you complete the golden triangle with her pose and maybe something flying in the sky like a bird of prey or something. That is the only thing I can think of other than that you rendering is pretty freakin awesome and personally I like the extreme foreshortening that you have going on right now.

July 6th, 2008 #4
Thanks for the feedback, guys, much appreciated!
I was pondering about adding a dragon in the left upper corner, but it seemed like a bad idea - in the end, people would just go "Ohh, she is so toast!" or something, so a bird of prey is a better idea. Heres an update - worked more on the rocks, touched up lots of minor little things. My Bf is still not happy with her face, but I don't really know what more I could add to it. Any suggestions?
July 6th, 2008 #5
In my opinion shes too "pretty" to be an orc. I get more of a black elf impression (I think its because her nose is pretty n pointy like an elfs), but thats just my taste. The bird addition is cool, although the bird itself looks flat to me (and if its far away, it doesn't have to be so "clear"). The rocks are ok, but they don't seem to be in perspective with the character which we are looking up at. Hope this helps...
July 6th, 2008 #6
Dragonsnail I think this piece is really coming home now and you did an awesome job with the bird, thanks for taking the suggestion. I really don't see anything else that I can help out with except say that it looks great to me.

The female orcs of LineageII are real beautys, and my friend loves her character, so I tried to make her close to her original look. They do also have a sort of african look, which is what I aimed for. If I had made a WoW orc female I would have aimed for a more ugly face! Anyhow, thanks for trying to help me out here, I really appreciate it! I'll see if I can't fix those rocks.

dont change the face i hate ugly female orcs or dwarfs rofl..but the legs hm they look the huge the fat
the hand a little too small
i love the mood and the env even if its simple

I know you're aiming for an upwards perspective shot, but maybe her head should be a little bit bigger. In context with the size of her legs and even her shoulders and such, she looks a bit pinheaded.
Also... she's missing a navel. Dunno if that's intentional or not.
July 10th, 2008 #12
Change the legs... Maybe try some tatoos on the face or body. Really love the motion of the wind. Sweeet piece!

lol, i saw the pic before i read the title and I said to myself, "oh, looks like lineage" so id say you did a good job at conveying lineage even though it isnt quite as korean/anime looking. I like the bird of prey, it fits the character much more then a dragon too.
Your piece is so far along itd be kind of a mess to look into some of my crits with the perspective. Like someone above said she seems a bit "pinheaded" and i think you can alleviate that a bit by making the head and hands a tiny bit bigger. Also the right arm holding the spear feels a bit weird, but I think if the hand was a tiny bit bigger itd help a little.
Anyway this post is way too long, great job and hope your friend likes it. PS are you on any servers for l2?

Drink between: 1997 - 2020 (Add My Dates)
A sublime bottle of 70 Petrus. Simply spectacular, and a bottle for the ages.
Shoulder level, not a good sample.
Stunning in every way, with its expressive, complex, earthy, spicy aromas of black cherry liqueur, coconut, dark chocolate and truffle. Soft, lush and opulent, everything is in all the right places. I cannot imagine this getting any better. If you are lucky enough to own a bottle, drink it.
Fully mature and soft; impeccably well balanced. Crystalline cool on the palate with fresh herb accents. Sandalwood and exotic incense on the nose; some savory earthiness. A generous giving wine at a good place for drinking now. Probably the best mature Bordeaux I have had.
William's Bachelor's Party (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): I absolutely loved this. It had wonderful old Pomerol nose of dried herbs and sweet tobacco, toasted vanilla and fragrant sandalwood spice, all swirling around a core of beautifully sweet plums, raspberries and lovely floral notes. I could have sniffed this all night long, if not for the fact that the wine actually drank (almost) as well as it smelt. The palate was at its seductive peak, with a lovely sense of freshness and energy and perfectly resolved tannins - silk rather than velvet here – setting the scene for a full, plump attack filled with ripe plums and berries. Very yummy, even opulent, and though it did lean out a little by the midpalate, no one would ever accuse this wine of being thin – it always had a wonderful seductive fleshiness to it, even if it seemed rather less voluptuous around the waist and hips than initially promised. Lovely finish too, wonderfully resolved and developed, with gentle but insistent notes of earth and spice and more of those seductive sweet plums drifting away into the distance. This was in fine form and ridiculously delicious. Paired perfectly with roast goose. Yum.

Make sure you get the breakfast! I've had many hotel breakfasts and this one not only had everything, but it was very good. Also showers are a walk into the wall type of deal which sort of feels like a cave. It's different but very cool.

Would a real life transporter technically be 'murder' ?

In the Bill Theiss book "The Making of Star Trek" I remember the reference to having matter transmission devices on ships at the level of technology otherwise displayed in Trek was akin to Cleopatra's barge on the Nile packing an electron microscope. The transporter concept was a product of limited effects budgets and dramatic pacing. A camera trick involving sprinkling aluminium dust was much cheaper and moved the story along faster than a shuttlecraft landing sequence (and the full-size shuttlecraft mock-up hadn't been completed before the pilots and first episodes were shot).
The Making of Star Trek
does discuss the dramatic and storytelling reasons for creating the transporter, though the Cleopatra's barge analogy is nowhere mentioned. Perhaps you got it from some other source? In any case,
was written by Stephen E. Whitfield. Bill Theiss was Star Trek's costume designer.

Press release from Marketwire
Fortress Paper Announces Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
Monday, March 11, 2013
Fortress Paper Announces Fourth Quarter 2012 Results20:28 EDT Monday, March 11, 2013VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 11, 2013) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESFortress Paper Ltd. ("Fortress Paper" or the "Company") (TSX:FTP) reported 2012 fourth quarter EBITDA of $0.5 million, an improvement of $6.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. Excluding corporate costs, the three business segments' combined EBITDA was $1.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012. The Specialty Papers Segment contributed $9.3 million EBITDA, while the Dissolving Pulp Segment and the Security Paper Products Segment generated EBITDA losses of $3.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Corporate costs contributed to EBITDA loss in the amount of $0.6 million.Fortress reported an adjusted net loss of $5.2 million, or diluted adjusted loss per share of $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2012 on sales of $96.1 million. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company reported an adjusted net loss of $18.1 million or diluted adjusted loss per share of $1.26 on sales of $73.0 million and for the fourth quarter of 2011 adjusted net loss of $6.3 million or diluted loss per share of $0.44 on sales of $49.5 million.The Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill commenced production of dissolving pulp in early December 2011. Commercial production for accounting purposes, with the equipment operating as intended by management, began on March 18, 2012. After such date all sales and cost of sales have been included in the operating results. The mill continued to make significant progress in production rate improvements and cost reductions. Dissolving pulp production volumes were at its highest level since the conversion of the mill into a producer of dissolving pulp. Despite promising operating results in November and December 2012, the mill has encountered challenging conversion issues which are intrinsic to a dissolving pulp mill ramp-up. The Cogeneration project at the Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill is nearing completion, with engineering and procurement completed and overall construction in the final stages. However, commissioning and start-up activities have incurred delays as a result of various factors, including unforeseen piping related delays, reduced manpower availability and minor scope of work adjustments. The Company is in the process of commissioning and expects delivery of power to commence early in the second quarter of 2013. As previously reported, additional costs in the 10-20% range for the overall cogeneration project are anticipated. Hydro Quebec is aware of the postponement and the Company anticipates delivery of power pursuant to the power purchase agreement in the normal course.The Specialty Papers Segment continued its strong performance in the fourth quarter and achieved record results in the 2012 fiscal year. Margins remain strong and the order log is healthy. Management believes that market demand will continue to be strong in the coming years. The displacement of traditional paper-based wallpaper with non-woven wallpaper base appears to be progressing faster than originally anticipated. Following completion of upgrades to our paper machine in the summer of 2012, production speed increased to a theoretical capacity of approximately 60,000 tonnes per year at the Dresden mill. Improvements in production efficiency, waste rates and the full utilization of the Company's new dry waste plant resulted in improved EBITDA margins. There have been some positive developments in the Security Paper Products Segment such as new customers and the first order of substrate that included OTM. In December 2012, Morocco's Central Bank purchased the first Durasafe® banknote printed on the Landqart mill's new composite paper-polymer-paper substrate Durasafe®. The Security Paper Products Segment otherwise experienced another challenging quarter, albeit slightly improved over preceding quarters. The Swiss Franc appreciation against the Euro has abated due to Swiss National Bank intervention; however, the strength of the Swiss Franc has been a disadvantage to the Landqart mill in terms of costs and expenses as a significant level of transactions are in Euro. Overcapacity continues to be an issue in the banknote paper market. The fierce competition for orders has led to a significant erosion of banknote prices and margins during 2012. Significant tenders in the near term should absorb some of the excess capacity. These less than favorable conditions have adversely impacted the results of the Security Paper Products Segment. Fortress reported EBITDA loss of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to EBITDA of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding corporate costs, the three business segments' combined EBITDA was $0.1 million and $11.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Despite the economic challenges and uncertainty continuing in Europe during 2012, the Specialty Papers Segment contributed a record $37.5 million EBITDA which was significantly higher than the previous year at $31.4 million. The Security Paper Products Segment generated significant losses in 2012 ($21.7 million EBITDA loss) but improved slightly compared to the prior year ($23.1 million EBITDA loss). The Dissolving Pulp Segment, which continued ramping up, generated losses of $15.7 million EBITDA loss in 2012, compared to $2.8 million EBITDA in the year ended December 31, 2011. Corporate costs contributed to EBITDA loss in the amount of $5.4 million in 2012 and $7.8 million in 2011.Adjusted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $37.4 million or ($2.60) per share (diluted). Adjusted net loss for the prior comparative period was $20.6 million or ($1.47) per share (diluted).Management's OutlookDissolving Pulp SegmentDissolving pulp markets continued to soften during the fourth quarter of 2012 mainly due to excess supply of dissolving pulp as a result of new entrants. Dissolving pulp prices reached a low of approximately US$ 830-840 in December. Given current market conditions and in order to maintain good customer relations, our sales have and are intended to follow market prices with our three major Chinese customers, which are expected to be below the floor prices set in our supply agreements in the near term. Viscose staple fiber demand in China has improved recently, leading to improved prices for fiber and healthier capacity utilization. Dissolving pulp prices also have been improving since late December due to improved demand and concerns over the anti-dumping investigation initiated by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China ("MOFCOM") against the United States, Brazil and Canada in February 2013 (see "Risks and Uncertainties"). However, we expect that dissolving pulp prices will remain under pressure due to new capacity expected to enter the market in the first half of 2013. Cotton prices remained relatively stable in China during the fourth quarter of 2012 and have recently experienced significant price increases. However, when compared to 2011, cotton prices still remain low which could lead to possible cotton crop plantation reduction in 2013. Such cotton reserve management, particularly in China, may affect future cotton pricing. The Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill continued to ramp up dissolving pulp production during the fourth quarter of 2012. Although the mill is not yet at long term target rates, improved stable operations is allowing management to focus on reducing costs. Inventory levels at year end were minimal and expected to remain low through the first quarter of 2013.The Cogeneration project is in the commissioning and start-up phase. All major equipment suppliers are on site during this phase of the project. It is at this point that equipment is tested, repaired or adjusted and handed over to operations for care, custody and control. Turbine tests will commence in March and power generation connectivity to the electrical grid is expected early in the second quarter of 2013. Although depressed dissolving pulp prices have impacted the Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill results, the Company is in the process of implementing a comprehensive "Operating Excellence" program designed to improve operating efficiency and productivity, and expects to realize additional savings and benefits once the cogeneration facility comes online.The Fortress Global Cellulose mill project continues to progress with advancements in detailed engineering and process design for the conversion to dissolving pulp production. We expect to complete a final estimated work schedule in the second quarter of 2013. On-site, the workforce continues the refurbishing of the plant and equipment to bring the asset to full operational condition.Specialty Papers SegmentThe Specialty Papers Segment continues to perform well. The capital expenditure plan for 2012 was successfully completed during the general maintenance shutdown in August. The Dresden mill has now reached a manufacturing capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum of non-woven wallpaper base.Management believes that market demand will continue to grow and will remain strong in the coming years. The wallpaper market is expected to benefit from a recovery in residential construction and renovations markets as well as the displacement of traditional paper-based wallpaper with non-woven wallpaper base which appears to be progressing faster than originally anticipated.Over the next two years, the Dresden mill will execute a capital expenditure program to increase capacity to 70,000 tonnes per year and improve quality.Security Paper Products SegmentMarket conditions for security papers remain difficult. While cotton and other raw material costs have stabilized and the Swiss Franc's appreciation against the Euro has been halted by Swiss National Bank intervention, the prevailing exchange rate to the Euro continues to place Landqart at a competitive disadvantage to other suppliers. Overcapacity continues to be an issue in the banknote paper market. The fierce competition for orders has led to a significant erosion of banknote prices and margins. This has continued into 2013 and prices have continued to be under pressure in all major tenders over the last quarter. The commercial print market has also seen a steady erosion of prices as the printers' compete for market share, adding further downward pressure to prices in the banknote paper market.Market demand remains stable and we expect demand for paper to follow historic trends in the coming year. However, as long as the imbalance remains between supply and demand, prices will remain low. The imbalance will only be corrected with further structural changes in the industry that lead to a reduction in production capacity. These difficult conditions have continued to impact the results of the Security Paper Products Segment.Despite these difficulties Landqart has a strong order book with good visibility into the second half of the year. The mill is currently operating at full capacity. Estimated volumes to be produced and sold in 2013 are expected to be significantly higher than in 2012. Landqart has continued to win new customers and compete in tenders in new markets. In December 2012, Morocco's Central Bank purchased the first Durasafe® banknote printed on Landqart's new composite paper-polymer-paper substrate Durasafe®. This first note has resulted in considerable interest in the industry and Landqart is working on other opportunities including a confirmed second order. The Landqart mill is now well into production of its most substantial contract and has now delivered over 50% of the contract. Management expects the contract to contribute to the optimization of the mill's operational efficiency over the remainder of the contract. Significant Developments Significant developments over the financial year ended December 31, 2012 included: The acquisition of the Fortress Global Cellulose Mill in June 2012; The issuance of an unsecured convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million to Fonds de Solidarite ("FSTQ") in connection with the acquisition of the Fortress Global Cellulose mill (see "Offering of Debentures");The completion of a $69 million short form prospectus offering of 7.0% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures in July 2012 (the "2012 Debenture Offering"), including the exercise in full of the underwriters' over-allotment option (see "Offering of Debentures").Continued strength in margins at the Dresden mill and the successful completion of the 2012 capital expenditure program increasing manufacturing capacity of non-woven wallpaper base to 60,000 tonnes per annum. The sale by the Landqart Mill of the first Durasafe® banknote now in circulation and the first order of substrate that included OTM. Continued improvement of the Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill's dissolving pulp operations. Production rates and costs per tonne have improved significantly over the year. The re-instatement of the Landqart mill's most substantial contract which is expected to contribute to the optimization of the mill's operational efficiency over the next year.Selected Financial InformationThe selected financial information presented herein is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes thereon and our Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") filed on SEDAR.Three Months Ended December 31, 2012Selected Financial Information and Other Data (thousands of dollars, except shipments, unaudited)Q4 2012Q3 2012Q4 2011Sales96,09672,95249,524EBITDA(1)530(6,403)(1,492)Operating loss(5,216)(14,857)(5,604)Net loss(3,955)(18,900)(9,171)Adjusted net loss(2)(5,248)(18,066)(6,273)Paper shipments (tonnes)(3)16,38215,20113,035Pulp shipments (ADMT)46,90930,5618,168(1)See Net Loss to EBITDA Reconciliation.(2)See Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss Reconciliation.(3)Includes shipments of security and specialty paper products by the Landqart and Dresden mills.Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss Reconciliation: (thousands of dollars, except per share amounts, unaudited)Q4 2012Q3 2012Q4 2011Net loss(3,955)(18,900)(9,171)Foreign exchange loss (gain)(1,293)8342,898Adjusted net loss(5,248)(18,066)(6,273)Basic net loss per share($0.27)($1.31)($0.64)Diluted net loss per share($0.27)($1.31)($0.64)Adjusted net loss per share, basic($0.36)($1.26)($0.44)Adjusted net loss per share, diluted($0.36)($1.26)($0.44)Net Loss to EBITDA Reconciliation:(thousands of dollars, unaudited)Q4 2012Q3 2012Q4 2011Net loss(3,955)(18,900)(9,171)Income tax(3,321)(1,354)(388)Foreign exchange loss (gain)(1,293)8342,898Net finance expense3,3534,5631,057Amortization5,1165,1313,793Stock-based compensation6301,977319Dispute resolution accrual-1,346-EBITDA530(6,403)(1,492)The CompanyFortress Paper operates internationally in three distinct business segments: dissolving pulp, specialty papers and security paper products.

1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT Q&A
1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT Question: what can cause my starter to go bad everytime?
i have gone through about 10 starters and they all seem to go bad over a 4 day period and i dont know what the reason could be to make them go bad. Supposely their are differnt types of starters for my car and their is a certain starter with an "apendix" that will hit my torque converter to make it turn over but we found that one and has only been working for at least 4 days and it wont turn on at all. - b3a5t
Answer 1
What is your battery voltage? It must be at least 12.6 volts. If the car won't start, and it is a stick, you may have a bad clutch switch, this allows the starter to engage when you press on the clutch pedal. Or, if it is an automatic trans, you may have a bad neutral safety switch or even a defective ignition switch. Most starters have some form of a bendix drive that enables the starter gear to engage the flywheel on on the torque converter. - dandd

ABSTRACT: The Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome represents a distinct clinicoradiological syndrome, associated with several disorders, including infection, high altitude cerebral edema, antiepileptic drug withdrawal, and severe metabolic disturbances (hypoglycemia and hypernatremia). Clinical presentation is nonspecific, most frequently as an encephalopathy or encephalitis. Outcome is favorable in most patients unless there is a severe underlying disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging findings are restricted to the splenium and consist of a nonenhancing oval lesion, hyperintense on T2-weighted images, including FLAIR. Findings on diffusion-weighted imaging are consistent with cytotoxic edema except for high-altitude cerebral edema, where vasogenic edema is present. Resolution after weeks or months is the rule.J Neuroimaging 2010;20:1-2.Journal of neuroimaging: official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging 09/2009; 20(1):1 - 2.

ABSTRACT: The presence of transient lesions involving the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC) has been described in patients with encephalitis or encephalopathy of varied etiology. We have termed it RESLES (reversible splenial lesion syndrome). To describe 3 additional patients (2 encephalitis, 1 hypoglycemia) and review the literature to define this syndrome, its etiology, presentation, prognosis, and possible pathophysiological mechanisms. Search of the MEDLINE database from 1966 through 2007. English language article titles and abstracts were screened and the appropriate articles reviewed. Additional articles cited by original references were also reviewed. RESLES is caused by antiepileptic drug withdrawal, infection, high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), or metabolic disorders (hypoglycemia and hypernatremia). Complete resolution after a variable lapse is the rule. Clinical presentation is nonspecific, without evidence of callosal disconnection syndromes. Neuroimaging shows a nonenhancing, round-shaped lesion centered in the SCC that disappears after a variable lapse. Diffusion studies reveal DW hypersignal with low ADC values, suggestive of cytotoxic edema. Only HACE-related cases and 1 patient with pregabalin withdrawal showed high ADC values, consistent with vasogenic edema. RESLES is a distinct clinicoradiological syndrome of varied etiology and benign course except in those patients with an underlying severe disorder.Journal of neuroimaging: official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging 09/2008; 21(2):e1-14.

Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (A.k.a. Meag's Perfect Cookie)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
I created this recipe with my daughter after a conversation with my sister, Meagan, about her idea of a perfect oatmeal cookie. This is a cookie you can feel good about giving your kids. They are very moist and fluffy and taste even better the days after being baked. These are very adaptable so feel free to substitute chocolate chips and a bit of lemon zest for the raisins or add some cranberries and sliced almonds for some added fun!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄3 cup applesauce
- 1⁄4 cup flax seed meal
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (I let my 3 yr old shake in as much as she wants)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together butter, applesauce and brown sugar.
- add flax seed meal and vanilla.
- Mix in eggs, one at a time.
- Add flour, oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix until fully incorporated then mix in raisins.
- Place spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

very yummy! I love recipes w flax. so good for you! the only thing I changed was switching the measurments so less butter, more applesauce and half sugar half agave nectar. thank you for sharing your recipe!
Yum, yum, yum! These are addicting and not so bad for you! Very moist. I did not have any flax seed meal, but they still turned out great. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Thank you delicious and now far less guilty of a treat. i used light margarine, plum sauce for the apple. whole rye for the whole wheat. I halved the brown sugar and subbed in sweet n low. the dough texture was a little dry, so they didnt' spread. the baked as shape dropped. i'm sure due to my not perfect measuring. great taste.

Finest Certified 1899-S Quarter, MS681899-S 25C MS68 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint continued its erratic quarter production schedule of the late 1890s by producing a mere 708,000 pieces in 1899. The federal government shipped a percentage of this issue's delivery to the Philippine Islands, where most entered the channels of commerce. Most of the survivors are cleaned XF or AU pieces. This date is underrated and underappreciated by many, particularly in the mid-Uncirculated grades. The coin offered here is "off the charts."
This lovely Superb Gem was obviously well cared for since the day it left the coining press. Both sides shimmer with frosty cartwheel luster and fully brilliant surfaces. The needle-sharp striking definition is further enhanced with virtually mark-free fields. For future pedigree purposes a tiny, almost invisible abrasion is seen on Liberty's cheek at certain light angles. A microscopic toning spot shows under the base of the F in OF on the reverse. It is little wonder that this is the single finest certified representative of an S-mint issue that is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades (3/09).
