I'm very shy?
Do girls like shy guys? I'm very shy myself, I was just curious if girls find that attractive
Most Helpful Opinion
Hehe, shy guys ARE cute...I think it's a positive character trait...as long as it's an intial shy thing that you can open up a little more as you get to know the person.
Probably just a stereotype, but I tend to like shy guys because it feels like they are more open-minded, easy going, caring people...& not too loud, rowdy, and self-centered...but that's just my experience.
Oh! and I think they listen better-a definite plus ;-)
Just try to be brave and show the girl you like her somehow, otherwise she'll get away :,(
Yes that's also what I love about them. They seem so down to earth and caring. <3
What Girls Said 20
Every girl is different and some do and some dont. To be honest, this may sound brutal and sallow because it is, but generally it has to do with looks. If the guy is really cute and shy, girls will think of him as being sensitive and sweet and a gentleman, but if the guy is weird-looking, shyness is a turn off. Its not fair but this is the way things are...
Yeah well when you put a bunch of outgoing guys next to a shy guy, girls are going to go for the outgoing guys because they seem more fun to be around.
Yes, girls do like shy guys. Typically, it takes a while for these kinds of guys to catch a girl's attention. I actually really like this shy guy. Previously, I have dated guys who are more confident and outgoing, actually he was confident, outgoing, and arrogant. Basically, I think shy men are usually less arrogant and probably tend to be better people. (I'm also a shy girl so I feel I have no right to judge. ) As long as he doesn't flat out sit there and stare at me, never uttering a word, it's all good.
I love shy guys. It's always the kind of guy I'm attracted to which is bad in a way just because I'm shy so I have to work up courage to talk to them. There's this guy now that is shy and he sits in class and every time I look over at him I just melt. I'm probably weird but I'm so attracted to the fact that shy guys don't stand out. Well they stand out to me. When he looks at you and you can see he wants something but then he puts his head down cause he looks afraid. I would love to be able to get to know a guy like that and be able to tell him how much I love him and appreciate him, really boost his confidence and let him know it's okay and that I'm there for him. This guy in particular seems like he has a soft side and I like that. Guys need to feel loved too. :)
I can be shy and awkward at times but I'm generally not shy. I don't know how shyness comes into being attracted to a person to be honest.. If I approached a guy (which I never do) and he was shy I'd take it as he was uninterested but not that he was unattractive. If I was trying to be friends with a shy guy leading on to dating or if I was already dating them and they were always shy I'd find it really difficult to talk to them.
I've had that experience with a boy before he was so shy and anti-social that he wouldn't look at me much and he never ever started conversations.. if you didn't say anything to him he wouldn't say anything either and his replies were as simple as possible. We were only friends and even that was really difficult.
i do :P
i think its adorable lol
Im shy 11 and havnt had a girlfriend in 6 months. I have lots of friends that are girls. one of them says they feel secure when I'm around them because I'm very tall for my age(5'5). they love that I'm shy and on the inmature side of things.Ive made moves on them. I'm worried that I'm more of a friend to any of them than a bf. what should I do?
yes!but if you like a girl make sure you do ask her out!
Why should I be the one to ask her out? why doesn't she ask me out? how do I kno if she's interested or not?
I agree with the question asker. I think initiation can go either way. If I feel that a woman thinks that she'll never have to ask a guy then I'll surely never ask her.
u see, there's this thing that guys try to do, is put all girl together under one group and then ask if girls like this or if girls like that, but you really cannot do that. there are a lot of diffrent types of girls who like a lot of diffrent types of guys. typically, girls like more confident and outgoing guys, but again, that all depends on the girl.
a girl likes it when a guy can be comfortable around her, and can be herself.
What she said
What Guys Said 5
you said yourself, girls here are liars...well not really. The true is since girls are dominated by emotions they tend to follow what is going through them at the moment. Loud obnoxious dude= confidence. The feelings of thrill and happiness. Shy guy= lack of confidence. Which brings the feelings of despair, confusion, fear, all negative emotions, which girls tend to avoid to the max. The true is shy guys are the last on girls lists.
I'm extremely shy, around girls anyways. More specifically girls that I like. If you can actually talk to girls without getting awkward, that's a good thing.
I wouldn't say shyness is attractive to girls but calmness, self-control and caring is.
Shy people have all of these but also have to deal with emotional control and their comfort zone.
You can break through these barriers so hope is not lost, but it takes time.
& Be yourself. ;)

CLEVELAND - NOVEMBER 14: Owner Woody Johnson of the New York Jets talks with general manager Mike Holmgren of the Cleveland Browns prior to the start of their game at Cleveland Browns Stadium on November 14, 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
Cleveland did everything to give Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry Jones didn't give away any info at all regarding the growing Mike Holmgren speculation. However, with Holmgren in Dallas to watch his Browns take on America's team, the two spent time as they always do when their worlds cross. Jason Garrett may have bought himself a little more time in the victory, but the ever growing shadow of Holmgren is looming. Jones needs a legitimate Super Bowl contender, or a marquee coach to fill the seats in his billion dollar stadium. Either way, it makes for good sports drama at its finest - a coach sweating for his job, an aggressive owner who doesn't mind making waves, and an all time great coach itching to get back in the game. It doesn't get better than that. Jones had this to say about the time spent with Holmgren yesterday. "Well, we had the visit that we always have when he comes, when I come to where he is. We're good friends", Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. "We served for about seven or eight years on the Competition Committee together," "We visited about all the things that we normal visit about. He's a really, apart from being an outstanding coach, he's a heck of a man. He's got a lot of character and I can't tell you how much I respect him. When you're close like that and spend a lot of time with somebody, familiarity can breed contempt. It's just the opposite with him. Every time I've been around him he's gone up." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

No Slowdown In Sight Here
The financial crisis has deterred many potential condo buyers from putting down deposits based on architectural drawings of unfinished projects.
But a new condominium being carved out of a large TriBeCa warehouse has been able to draw strong interest—and raise asking prices twice—even though the first unit won't be ready for at least another year.
Brokers say that the strong initial sales at 250 West St. show the golden halo around the market for large apartments as the wealthiest buyers shop in the best neighborhoods.
"Believe it or not, we have a market going, despite a global financial collapse," said Donna Olshan, a broker who publishes a newsletter on apartments selling for more than $4 million in Manhattan. Last week four of 10 such sales were at 250 West St.
She said there was now enough pent-up demand, and such a limited supply of apartments in certain neighborhoods, to make such early sales possible. "In TriBeCa where you are going to get water views, big spaces, tall ceilings, you are always going to be able to sell," she said.
Since July, developer El-Ad Group, which also was the developer behind the Plaza Hotel condo conversion, and a marketing team at Cantor & Pecorella say that 22 buyers have signed contracts for condos 250 West St. Eleven more buyers have made deals to purchase, but haven't yet returned contracts, they said.
The building, a warehouse that fills a square block between Hubert and Laight streets and dates back to 1906, is still mostly a raw construction site, surrounded by construction sheds. The finished portions are limited to a ground-floor sales office and a single model apartment reached via a precarious walk through what will someday be a lobby.
Most floors are open fields of cast-iron columns. Buyers are shown building plans at a large table, indicating where the 61-foot, ground-level pool and the lobby library will be, and where the core of the building will eventually be cut out to create more light, better river views, and an interior garden.
There was a time in the boom years, when buyers lined up in the street outside new condominiums with checks in hand, confident that prices would go up before the building was finished. But all that ended when the real-estate market turned sharply lower and buyers scrambled to back out of contracts.
Stephen G. Kliegerman, president of Terra Development Marketing, who has advised dozens of developers over the years, said that most developers don't have the kind of "high-profile, high-demand locations" that enable them to sell in advance in the current environment.
Instead, he said, most developers hope to be able to increase prices from later sales once they have obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy and buyers have begun to move in.
The building, part of the TriBeCa North Historic District, was originally designed to have 111 condos, including a $36.9 million triplex penthouse, to be built on the roof of the existing 11-story building.
But because of strong sales for buyers looking for larger apartment, the developers decided to combine two-bedroom apartments into four-bedroom units, priced at about $4 million. The average asking price in the building is $1,632 a square foot, but some units are priced close to or below $1,000 a square foot.
It is priced below some other recent developments farther up along West Street in the West Village, and quickly signed up 10 buyers on a waiting list when sales began.
Because the building is a conversion, it has unusually large room layouts. Its ceilings are 13 feet high on the ground floor and 10 feet high on the floors above.
The building has attracted strong interest from people in finance, including several who work at the new downtown headquarters of Goldman Sachs, which can be seen from many windows.
El-Ad paid Citigroup C -0.52 % for $142 million for the building in 2006, and the following year made a deal to flip it for just over $200 million. But Tom Elliott, a vice president at El-Ad, said the deal never closed, and El Ad decided to go ahead with the development. He said it was El-Ad's first residential development since the Plaza.
As part of the renovations, the developer, working with the city Landmarks Preservation Commission, is planning to enlarge the windows, restore long missing cornices, and create new entrances, with iron gates, to echo the entrances of some older Manhattan apartment buildings.

Or "Let me play as a girl, dammit!"
First things first. Watch this video.
After watching this video, I had an epiphany. See, I had been following the early rumors for GTA5 and I had really bought in to the "GTA5 will have a female protagonist" rumor. I mean I really bought into it. In fact, I'm 70% more likely to be interested in picking up your game if you offer me something other than the default white dude protagonist. It's also the main reason I picked up Shantae, for example (really guys go back that game I'll be crushed if it doesn't get funded), but I digress. Back to the point, I came to the realization today that I had lost all* interest in playing GTA5 when they announced that the main three protagonists are all male. And before you write the comment about GTA Online and the fact that you can make girls in that, stop. I'll address that a bit later on. In response to the comment I made saying as much, Disqus user TheAngriestCarp (welcome to TakuChat, enjoy your stay) wanted to know why it was that I mentally checked out of GTA5 when I found out about having no playable female MC. I don't know if you noticed, but Disqus has been like, major busted today and it totes ate my well thought out response. So here's an article instead. This one's for you, buddy**!
*hyperbole is one of my main forms of communication, sorry, not sorry.
**and anyone one else who wants to read it. I'm not going to stop you; I'm a blogger not a cop.
New Experiences!
One of the main reasons I play video games is to have unique experiences. It's the reason Suda51 games appeal to me. It's also the reason I don't play The Sims. And contrary to my user icon, I'm in fact not a cute little pink-haired Chinese girl or female at all. When I have the chance to play as a female in a game, I always take it. Sometimes the game will adapt to your choice (Fire Emblem: Awakening / Mass Effect). Sometimes it won't really change anything (Saints Row 4). But like I say, I'm not a girl and the experience of being one even digitally appeals to me. Furthermore I'll cop to being enough of a hipster that I'll want to have a different experience than the default. And before you ask, my Persona 4 play through was hilarious.
More Interesting Story!
Let me preempt one complaint right here: I'm certain that GTA5's story will be amazing. I'm certain that GTA5's story will be amazing. I'm certain that GTA5's story will be amazing. I'm certain that GTA5's story will be amazing. I'm certain that GTA5's story will be amazing.
That being said, I'm also certain that GTA5's story won't stray too far from that of previous GTA's. Start at the bottom, make an empire, betrayal, etc., etc. Of course there's the potential to change things up but I doubt they'll change things up too much. That also being said, how unique of a take would it be to have a female in the role. I mean, think of the typical BS that a woman has to deal with on the regular: unwanted propositions, assumed inferiority, the more overt sexual harassment, etc., etc. Imagine if they threaded that into the narrative. Honestly, why the hell hasn't Rockstar written a female protagonist yet?
Less Dudebro Douchebaggery!
Speaking of harassment (NSFW)… I think we can all agree that playing games on Xbox Live is an uncomfortable pit of racism and sexism. If you disagree, go back, click that link and read until you do.
I'll wait.
Now that we all agree that XBL is an awful place, let's all also agree that GTA5 is gonna to be the biggest monetary event of the year, bar none. This game will 100% set a sales record and make more money than anything else, movies included. You can take that to the bank***. Everyone is going to buy GTA5. I'm not even interested and I'm buying GTA5. One last guarantee: GTA5 will at minimum last at least 65 hours. Now even taking into account the fact that most gamers don't finish their games (150+ backlog here!) we're looking at a least a 30 hour investment here. Now let just imagine that with their admittedly fantastic storytelling, Rockstar makes gamers empathize with this female protagonist and her struggles. Now it's a bit of a stretch, but not one entirely without precedent. Did you know that CEO's with daughters both pay and treat women better? Friends, I'm basically suggesting a gamer version of Stockholm Syndrome. They fall in love with a girl on screen and maybe, just maybe they'll be less horribad to the ones behind the screen.
***though I don't know why you would. They'd just look at you funny. Also, banks are awful too but that's a different article entirely.
More Female Led Games!
Let's face it. As Tony Hawk, GTA3, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy VII and countless others have shown, the industry is mostly full of sheep. After the breakthrough and unprecedented success of GTA3, the easiest way to get a game approved in a pitch meeting was "It's Grand Theft Auto but…" I mean, it even has its own Wikipedia page. Now we already agreed that GTA5 would be a massive financial success, so I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret: most publishers and even some devs don't actually get why it is that certain games are successful. When they see Call of Duty tearing up the charts they think "Must be the gritty action shooting" and we get Metal of Honor and Spec Ops and a million other shooters. When they saw Final Fantasy VII become a huge success, suddenly there were a plethora of spiky-haired heroes wielding improbable weapons. So what do you think would happen if a GTA with a female protagonist was the biggest success of the year? Like I said, most publishers don't get why certain games are successful. On the plus, I know that there are devs that have been wanting to tell stories about female protagonists. If GTA5 starred a female, then not only would those devs have a much easier time getting greenlit, the gamers themselves might have less resistance to playing as a girl.
Finally about GTA Online. Is it cool that you can play as a girl? Yes. Does it matter that you can play as a girl? Yes. Does being able to play as a girl change anything? Nope. Any MMOG (and let's not mince words, GTAO is basically a heavily instanced MMOG) worth its salt will allow gender choices. It's not so much a step forward as the avoidance of a step back. Plus, unless I missed something, the online part doesn't really have much to do with the narrative so there's that. In any case, those are my reasons that I lost my excitement for GTA5 when they announced three male protagonists. I so look forward to your comments.

While activity levels have decreased during spring break-up as expected, current indications are that drilling activity in Western Canada should be relatively strong during the upcoming summer drilling season with a continued focus on oil and natural gas liquids programs due to weak natural gas prices. During the second quarter, the Rentals and Transportation Services division will open its 20th branch location in North Dakota. This location will further increase Total Energy's exposure to light oil activity and represents the Company's first permanent location outside of Canada. The Gas Compression Services division continues to focus on increasing its share of all facets of the Canadian natural gas compression market. A custom-engineered model of the NOMAD™ has just recently arrived in Australia and the Company is excited by the opportunity to introduce this patented mobile compression technology to the Australian market. Total Energy is also pleased to announce its entry into the natural gas process equipment business. This business line, which will complement the Company's Gas Compression Services division, will be based in Calgary and operate as Spectrum Process Systems Inc. under the leadership of Kelly Mantei. Mr. Mantei is a professional engineer who has been employed by the Gas Compression Services division since 2002 and brings a strong technical and sales background to the General Manager position. Spectrum is expected to commence operations during the second half of 2012.Total Energy's financial condition remains solid with a long-term debt (including convertible debentures) to long-term debt plus equity ratio of 0.19 to 1.0, $130.2 million of positive working capital (including $40.8 million, or $1.30 per share, of cash) and no net debt as at March 31, 2012. Total Energy's $35 million operating facility is currently fully available and undrawn.Total Energy's current 2012 capital expenditure budget is $58.1 million, of which $24.2 million has been expended to March 31, 2012. The Company's balance sheet strength provides significant capacity and flexibility to pursue further growth opportunities that may arise despite challenging equity market conditions.Conference CallAt 2:30 p.m. MST today, Total Energy will conduct a conference call to discuss its first quarter financial results.

The common shares of Total Energy are listed and trade on the TSX under the symbol TOT. Notes to Financial Highlights(1) Operating earnings means results from operating activities and is equal to net income before income taxes minus gain on sale of property, plant and equipment plus finance costs. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation. Cashflow means cash provided by operations before changes in non-cash working capital items. Operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow are not recognized measures under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income, operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy's performance. Total Energy's method of calculating operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations.(2) Per share data (diluted) and the number of common shares outstanding on a diluted basis includes the impact of the approximate 3.1 million common shares issuable upon the entire conversion of the $69 million principal amount of convertible debentures issued by the Company in February 2011.(3) Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities.(4) Net Debt equals long-term debt plus obligations under finance leases plus convertible debentures plus current liabilities minus current assets.Certain statements contained in this press release, including statements which may contain words such as "could", "should", "expect", "believe", "will" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Total Energy to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include fluctuations in the market for oil and natural gas and related products and services, political and economic conditions, the demand for products and services provided by Total Energy, Total Energy's ability to attract and retain key personnel and other factors. Reference should be made to Total Energy's most recently filed Annual Information Form and other public disclosures (available at www.sedar.com ) for a discussion of such risks and uncertainties.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Daniel HalykTotal Energy Services Inc.President & Chief Executive Officer(403) 216-3921ORMark KearlTotal Energy Services Inc.Vice-President Finance and Chief Financial Officer(403) email@example.com Toronto Stock Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved of the information contained herein.

Cardon Grande
Images are from Integrated Landscape Management's Business Support Specialist, Dan Munson.
Common Name
Cardon Grande
Scientific Name
Echinopsis terscheckii (formerly Trichocereus terscheckii)
The Cardon Grande is a tree-like cactus that grows 15 to 25 feet tall, with an expansion of roughly 8 feet wide.
Cardon Grandes are native to Argentina, and enjoy full sunshine. They need low amounts of water in well-draining soil and are very drought tolerant once they are established. They are also cold hardy to roughly 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
This cactus makes little litter and has medium-length, tan-colored spines.
Service Methods
As with many other cacti, these are prone to attacks from scale insects. There are no known effective measures that may be taken to prevent scale insect attacks; however, EnviroControl does offer services to remove them and help the cactus recover from such an attack.
These cacti are faster-growing, similar-looking, & smaller than their distant cousin, the Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea). They also have white, showy flowers that bloom in the Spring.

The OECD Employment Outlook 2014 finds that while the impact of the global crisis was initially severe for Turkey, it was shorter than in the rest of the OECD area and there was a much sharper rebound. The unemployment rate was 9.1% in the first quarter of 2014 in Turkey, still above the OECD average (7.3%), but lower than in the pre-crisis period (9.4% in Q4 2007).
Business dynamism has underpinned inclusive growth in the 2000s. Strong growth without widening external imbalances calls for structural reform in the business sector to boost productivity and allow firms to better compete in export markets and at home.
Specific country notes have been prepared using data from the database OECD Health Statistics 2014, June 2014 version. The notes are available in PDF format.
The average worker in Turkey faced a tax burden on labour income (tax wedge) of 38.6% in 2013 compared with the OECD average of 35.9%. Turkey was ranked 16 of the 34 OECD member countries in this respect.

This note presents key findings for Turkey from Society at a Glance 2014 - OECD Social indicators. This 2014 publication also provides a special chapter on: the crisis and its aftermath: a "stress test" for societies and for social policies.
Turkey has demonstrated good resilience during the financial and economic crisis though growth has been slowing more recently. Policy challenges include addressing infrastructure shortfalls, improving access to quality education, and achieving a better balance in social protection in order to foster job creation and employment in the formal sector.

AFT NACELLE (Spoilers)

So the ship has two warp nacelles (or "the port nacelle" and "the starboard nacelle") and an impulse nacelle ("the aft nacelle").
Which still makes no sense, as it is further forward on the ship (and on the saucer, no less) than the warp nacelles. How could anyone refer to it as the aft nacelle? There would have to be one on the front of the saucer to justify that.
Considering Orci/Kurtz put Delta Vega wherever the hell they wanted last time out, I'm surprised this isn't just taken as another, "Oh, those two wacky guys!" moment.

Advanced Math/Science Research Update
by Dr. April Burch, Director of the AMSR program
January 15, 2013
Since our last update, Berkshire School hosted student researchers from Belmont Hill, and all-boys prep school outside of Boston, for a 1-day mini-symposium on Student Biomedical Research. The goal was to foster collaboration, communication and community outreach with our students. AMSR students Liza Bernstein '13, Sissi Wang '13, Lars Robinson '13, Elsie Guevara '13, Ernest Yue '13, and Nate MacKenzie '14, gave short talks about their work in the new Bellas/Dixon Math and Science lecture hall. The talks were followed up by break-out sessions where Belmont Hill students described their research projects and students discussed commonalities between the projects and future goals.
The second semester of AMSR started with some terrific news. The AMSR program was awarded a grant from The Chinchester Dupont Foundation for the purchase of an EVOS fluorescence microscope. This piece of equipment will expand the types of experiments and analyses that can be done by AMSR students this and future years. The microscope should arrive shortly, and Dr. Burch has invited everyone to stop in for a look next time they are on campus.
One new, exciting project that is underway in the winter season of AMSR in the afternoons is being spearheaded by Elif Kesaf '14. Elif is from Turkey and seeks to identify novel viruses of non-pathogenic strains of Legionella bacterium from travertines in Pamukkale. In collaboration with Dr. Sunny Shin at the Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she will be working to isolate viruses of this bacterium with the hope of identifying new agents to combat Legionnaires' disease caused by a pathogenic form of Legionella.
Look for more news from Dr. Burch in the next issue!

Cuban pianist Manuel Valera plays two Miami gigs
Cuban pianist Manuel Valera in Miami for two nights of high energy music.
8:30 p.m. Saturday, WDNA, 2921 Coral Way, Miami; $25, $15 WDNA members; 305-444-7889, wdna.org.
9 p.m. Sunday, Upstairs at the Van Dyke Cafe, 846 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; $7 cover; 305-534-3600, thevandykecafe.com.
Cuban pianist Manuel Valera has dazzling technique, but what sets him apart is how smartly he blends his sources — from Afro-Cuban, Venezuelan and Brazilian to Ravel and Debussy, Bola de Nieve and NG La Banda but also Bill Evans, Chick Corea and Red Garland. The result is high-energy music that feels at once familiar and fresh. He has spoken about making complex music "that is simple to the ears."
The son of saxophonist Manuel Valera, the pianist started out studying sax at Manuel Saumell Conservatory in Havana, switching to piano only after he came to the United States in 1994. He has recorded six albums including Melancolía (2004), in which he brought together his quintet and a string quartet; Vientos (2007), featuring his quartet and a wind ensemble, and his most recent, New Cuban Express.
Valera makes two appearances in Miami this weekend with the Cuban Express, an excellent group featuring Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez on drums, Felipe Lamoglia on sax, Armando Gola on bass and Rene Toledo on guitar.

GOL has announced the initial distribution of the fourth issue of simple, non-convertible debentures of VRG Linhas Aéreas, with restricted placement efforts, to raise R$600 million ($356.2 million).
"This operation is in line with GOL's objective of continuing to extend the profile of its debt and deleverage its balance sheet in a consistent manner," comments Leonardo Pereira, GOL's vice-president and CFO.
The proceeds will be used to pre-pay the remaining R$378 million balance from VRG Linhas Aéreas third debenture issue of May 2009. The remainder will be used to finance working capital and pay suppliers.
The debentures will yield 118.00% of the CDI interbank rate. The principal will be amortized in September 2015 with interest payments every six months.
BB Banco de Investimento is the lead manager, Bradesco BBI is the manager while Planner Trustee DTVM is the trustee.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2010, Gol's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totalled R$1.84 billion, equivalent to 24.7% of annual net revenues, up 1.4% from the previous quarter. Net debt was R$1.68 billion, down from R$1,740.0 million at the end of the previous quarter.

Suing to keep grown daughters from accessing contraception, or to keep employees from having coverage for contraception from somewhere besides the health-care plan you offer? Conservatives are getting aggressive in arguing they have a right to directly interfere with your ability to get contraception, and they may win.
Michigan legislators introduced a bill Wednesday that would require employers to notify all current and prospective employees about whether the company's insurance plan covers contraceptives.
The hundreds of lawsuits challenging the birth control benefit in the Affordable Care Act fit into a larger picture of health-care reform opponents using the courts to undermine the success of the law.
Challengers claim the administration's latest attempts to accommodate religious objections to covering birth control "change nothing."
Many of the employers suing the federal government over the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive benefit, including Wheaton College in Illinois, fail to offer employees robust parental leave coverage, an analysis by RH Reality Check shows.
The policy changes proposed by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services would, among other things, increase Medicaid funding for health-care providers to provide birth control for women patients as well as vasectomies for men.
Jeff Gorell (R-CA), a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in California's 26th District, recently stonewalled someone with a camera asking Gorell his opinions on the Hobby Lobby decision.
With the release of yet another set of interim final regulations on Friday, the Obama administration has ostensibly provided another option for eligible organizations to avail themselves of the birth control accommodation. But in reality, what the administration has done is shot itself in the foot—again.
Instead of notifying insurers of their objections, religiously affiliated nonprofits will now file their objection directly with the Department of Health and Human Services.
The deadline of August 22 was announced in a status report filed by the administration with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

The Space
Overnight accommodation in a private movie theater, near the airport, outside of Munich (about 30km to the city center), in the district of Freising. Reaching Munich is easy and fast, as there's a S-Bahn (overground train) connection to Munich near-by. S-Bahn to Munich (about 20min travel time) and the airport (about 5 minutes driving time), they're reachable by public bus (every 20min). The room is disjoint from the "family part" of the house and hence offers full privacy. There's a separate toilet and separate shower (including hair dryer) that you share with guests staying in the other rented rooms in the house. Laundry (towels, bed linen provided) included, free fast wireless internet connection. You may of course also use the projector and home theater system with TV and DVD (which is included in the price). Parking spaces are readily available directly in front of the house and upon request bicycles can also be provided.

Please do NOT rent with these people!!!!! I had an BAD experience with them. At first I was going to change the dates on my reservation with them and asked them if this was an option and they confirmed that it will not be a problem. I've paid a lot of money for a two week stay and I was still willing to change over for the last 5 days of my stay because they had given the room away( which i found out a day before the change should happen ) and said they are just doing me a favor, which if I already paid doesn't mean it's a favor. But I did change over to the mobile wagon. My cousin stayed with me the last week and slept on the couch I had asked them if this was ok they said no problem. After couple of days they wanted my cousin to pay 20euro a night and we agreed. But before we changed to the mobile wagon they said she would not have to pay to stay with me in the mobile wagon!! When it was time to check out they wanted 140 euro and wanted to charge me with 50 euro so another 190 euro total! We of corse refused and told them we had an agreement that my cousin will pay for only the two nights that she spend in the big room. She called her husband out and he immediately started yelling at us and threatened us in a very ANGRY way like he was about to PUNCH US! I was afraid ! Then he parked his car behind mine and refused to move his car. So I could not drive away. We did pay them as we had agreed in the beginning and an extra 10€ so total 50€. They ARE VERY ANGRY PEOPLE AND I WAS SHOCKED HOW LOW CLASS AND How THEY LIE!!!!!! AND THE ROOM IS LARGE BUT NOT COSY IT'S COLD AND THE BATHROOMS are DIRTY. The whole house STINKS! They didn't even clean once! The whole time there was hanging the same towel.
Sila weiss einfach nicht wie das Buchungssystem hier funktioniert.Sie hat bis 15 Nächte gebucht und durfte dann eine Woche ohne Bezahlung länger bleiben und hat dann auch noch ihre Tanten angeschleppt... Roomservice war nicht gebucht, wurde aber in Form von Reinigung durchgeführt.Weil das Haus in einem sehr sauberen Zustand geführt wird, lege ich persönlich täglich Hand an.
Sila ist einfach frustriert weil sie hier bei airbnb die Stornogebühren übersehen hatte, aber es muss ja nur gut gelesen werden, vorausgesetzt, dass man das kann!
Es war einfach SUPER!
Astrid und Steffen sind beide echt nett und zuvorkommend gewesen.
Das Zimmer war ruhig, obwohl man so nah am Münchener Flughafen war. Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen.
Wenn ich wieder in der Gegend zu tun habe werde ich bei Astrid auf jeden Fall anfragen ob sie ein Zimmer frei hat!
Wir sind sehr mit Aufenthalt bei Fr. Wagner zufrieden. Alles war sehr gut geplant und vorbereitet. Nett, sauber und freundlich! Danke und bei naechsten Moeglichkeiten kehren wir zurueck!!!
Great space and very welcoming and generous hosts. Astrid and Steffan were so helpful. The space is large and had everything I needed!
Astrid and her husband are very welcoming and have a great place in a suburb near Munich airport. They had maps of the area and helped us navigate the bus lines and recommended spots to eat and drink on our short trip. The room and apartment were very clean and comfortable. The best parts of the room were a projection screen for movie watching and a mini-bar with an honor-code sign of "leave 1euro for a beer." The one complaint I could have was that the room is in the basement, along with a sink and shower, but the toilet was one floor up. Doors were well-labeled.
5 of us stayed at Atrid's for Oktoberfest for 2 nights. Both Atrid and Steffan were great hosts and were very welcoming when we arrived at their home. They let us check in early and check out late on our last day which was very nice of them. There was also a coffee machine and mini bar which we had access to for 1 euro a drink which was amazing. I don't think the pictures do the place justice as its very nice, clean and spacious.
It does take some time to get in/out of Munich which can be difficult when you have been drinking all day at Oktoberfest- but Astrid provided us with maps and timetables for the trains on arrival which was very helpful!
Overall a great place!
We came for Oktoberfest. The location is outside of the city and near the airport. It was about a half hour by public transport into Munich. We had a great time. The day pass for 5 people traveling was only 5euro per person. Cheap and Easy. The apartment was nice for a short stay. Clean! Shower and toilet are outside of the room and are to be shared with others, but it was not a big deal. Water was also left for us, which was definitely needed! Thank you!

one very important distinction in the CFN preseason rankings: these
are based on how good the teams are going into the season and NOT
how they're going to finish. Some teams have easier
schedules than others, some get tougher road games and some will
need a little bit of time to jell meaning they might be better than
their final record might indicate. Going into the year, these are
how good the teams appear to be from No. 1 through 119.
The predicted finishes don't take into account possible bowl games
or conference championships.

0-12 2005 Predicted Finish: 1-10 2005 Record: 0-11
Like all new coaching staffs and new eras, Al Golden and his young group
comes in bringing a new energy with big ideas and bigger dreams. Give
Golden this; he's not afraid to take on a challenge. His first goal is
the change the mindset of Temple football taking this city college that
has no interest in football and coming up with something to get excited
about before becoming a full blown member of the MAC. Winning a few
games would be a big first step.

Weaknesses: defensive line, special teams
118. Florida Atlantic
Predicted Finish:
1-11 2005 Predicted Finish: 0-11 2005 Record: 2-9
The 2007 Owls will have experience and depth to burn just about
everywhere. The 2006 Owls have to find some semblance of a pass
rush after generating six sacks. They have to get a more
consistent passing game going despite losing the top two
receivers and leader Danny Embick at quarterback. They have to
navigate their way through a brutal first half of the season
with a defensive front seven that's among the smallest in the
country, an offensive line with little depth, and special teams
that were a nightmare last season and are in total disarray
going into this year.
Relative Strengths: secondary, running back
Relative Weaknesses: special teams, defensive line
Predicted Finish:
2-10 2005 Predicted Finish: 3-8 2005 Record: 1-10
Built to be a good defensive program under former head coach Jim Hofher,
the Bulls have never been able to do much offensively averaging a mere
15.3 points per game over the last seven seasons. There are plenty of
young prospects for new head man Turner Gill to work with led by a
decent group of quarterbacks, a good backfield with four nice options,
and tight end Chad Upshaw leading a promising receiving corps. The
offensive line is big and bigger, and now it needs to use its bulk to
shove someone around.
Relative Strengths: secondary, linebackers Relative
Weaknesses: offensive line, special teams
116. New
Mexico State
Predicted Finish:
3-9 2005 Predicted Finish: 2-10 2005 Record: 0-12
Things can't be worse than last year, and they won't be with enough
experienced players to expect better overall production and a
quarterback in Chase Holbrook who should be far, far more efficient than
Royal Gill and Joey Vincent were last year. It's also a plus to play in
the WAC where immediate results can come right away with just a little
bit of better overall play.
Relative Strengths: wide receivers, running backs Relative
Weaknesses: secondary, defensive line
Predicted Finish:
2-10 2005 Predicted Finish: 6-5 2005 Record: 5-6
This is the fourth year under head coach Charlie Weatherbie and it's a
transition season. It's going to be at least a year before the Warhawks
will field the strongest team over the last several years, so Weatherbie
and his staff will have a tricky task of blending the young backups with
the decent veterans. With only six senior starters, every game has to be
about improving with an eye towards the future.
Relative Strengths: secondary, offensive line Relative
Weaknesses: defensive line, linebackers
114. San
Jose State
Predicted Finish:
2-10 2005 Predicted Finish: 1-10 2005 Record: 3-8
In the WAC, you have to be prepared to get involved in some firefights,
and the Spartans are better equipped. The offense should be appreciably
better with one of the best lines the program has had in several years
along with a solid backfield with several good options. The quarterback
situation will work itself out and the receiving corps shouldn't be too
bad after a little bit of time. The defense, well, the offense should be
Relative Strengths: offensive line, special teams Relative
Weaknesses: linebackers, secondary
Predicted Finish:
5-7 2005 Predicted Finish: 3-8 2005 Record: 5-6
Things are on the upswing after a strong finish to the 2005 season.
Quarterback Josh Padrick should grow into the role as the league's best
quarterback and needs to carry the offense on his back using his
experience and live arm to make the attack more productive. The defense
will be a work in progress, but it has two sure-thing All-Sun Belt stars
to work with in linebacker Keyonvis Bouie and defensive end Antwan
Relative Strengths: quarterback, linebackers Relative
Weaknesses: special teams, offensive line
112. Utah
Predicted Finish:
1-11 2005 Predicted Finish: 2-10 2005 Record: 3-8
With only one winning season since 1993, the Aggies don't have to do too
much to have one of their best seasons in recent years. But with only a
few seniors in the two-deep depth chart, this might be a stepping stone
to 2007. The passing game should be better with the return of All-WAC
candidates Kevin Robinson and Tony Pennyman at receiver and Leon Jackson
III at quarterback. Robinson and Pennyman are two of the nation's
better return men.
Relative Strengths: wide receiver, return game Relative
Weaknesses: offensive line, defensive line
111. Army
Predicted Finish:
4-8 2005 Predicted Finish: 3-8 2005 Record: 4-7
This year's team has some fantastic pieces to build around with the
potential for its strongest, most efficient passing attack in years. All
five starters return to the offensive line and everyone is back in the
linebacking corps. The kicking game is sound, the receiving corps could
be the strength of the team, and safety Caleb Campbell will once again
be among the nation's most productive safeties. However, the weaknesses
are major.
Relative Strengths: linebackers, special teams Relative
Weaknesses: running backs, defensive line
110. Rice
Predicted Finish:
0-12 2005
Predicted Finish: 4-7 2005 Record: 1-10
For this year, it's all about just getting from phase one to phase two
and getting the team in line with what Todd Graham and the new coaching
staff wants to do. The previous regime made a passing nod to throwing it
more when it tried to implement a bit of a spread offense in an effort
to save a sinking ship, but Rice still finished dead last in the nation
in passing. Graham has to make the square pegs fit into the round holes.
Relative Strengths: running backs, secondary Relative
Weaknesses: defensive line, quarterback

TELL CITY – Gov. Mitch Daniels didn't mind the mild roar of foundry machines behind him Tuesday as he joined executives of ThyssenKrupp Waupaca to deliver news the company will expand its Tell City foundry operations. The company that now employs about 940 people will add 160 new jobs by the end of 2012.

TELL CITY – Gov. Mitch Daniels joined executives from ThyssenKrupp Waupaca Inc. Tuesday to announce the company will expand its Tell City foundry operations, creating up to 160 new jobs by the end of 2012.

This vote of confidence from a world-class company is further evidence that our competitive advantage over other states is growing," said Daniels, who made the announcement at the foundry.

Many studies have shown that placing a baby younger than 1 year old
to sleep on his or her back is the most important thing parents can do to
reduce the risk of
sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Since 1992, the
number of babies who sleep on their back has gone up (due mostly to the
national "Back to Sleep" campaign), and there has been a steady drop in the
SIDS rate.1
Placing babies to sleep on their backs reduces the risk of SIDS. Side
sleeping was also recommended in the past, but it is much easier for babies to

Draya Michele stepped out in LA in a Zara dress, Tom Ford belt, and $1,395 Jimmy Choo Kalmar Rope Sandals:
She finished off her look with a Céline tote.
Her heels have a 5″ heel and a back zip.
