Inflation and restaurants is not a new theme, but add gasoline prices and the mixture could be explosive.
In the recent round of earnings, company after company talked about rising food costs, and analysts tweaked their numbers.
But after talking to analysts and industry insiders, it's clear the true potential impact of rising food costs on the bottom line and the prospects of unexpectedly higher gas prices on the top line have not yet been fully factored into the stocks.
"Most restaurant chains are significantly understating inflation plus the sales impact from rising gas prices," says Allan Hickok, head of the consulting firm of Restaurant Retail Strategies in Minneapolis. "It's a double whammy that's not good."
But even without the sudden rise in gas prices, Hickok, a former analyst and restaurant CEO and current restaurant board member, says he believes companies and analysts are living denial.
Consider that even after acknowledging sharply higher pricing, with the overall market about 3% off its highs:
Chipotle, up around 148% at its 12-month peak , is just 6% in recent weeks.
After doubling over the past year, DinEquity (Applebees, IHOP) is off just 7% .
McDonalds, up 14% at its highs, is off just 6% .
And this is with companies making their observations with only a peek into the first quarter. "Things were looking squirrely," Hickok says. "Hope, as you know, is a strategy. As far as I'm concerned the 'hope' is that this will all settle down. But it's getting worse.
"It's Pollyannaish to conclude that what we have just seen is just a little spike of a very short duration. Things never work out that way."
One fast-food operator I know in Florida told me this: "As we look to competitors, we are seeing restaurants that have begun passing the prices along to the consumers or maybe just taking advantage of mildly improving economy to raise prices a bit or at least discount less."
Among those leading the charge, he says, include McDonald's, which said on its recent earnings call that it expected to selectively raise prices throughout the year. Hedging on coffee has allowed Starbucks to absorb most price increases – for now.
And Chipotle, which believes it has more pricing power than most restaurant chains, is taking a wait-and-see. Speaking on the company's earnings call, CFO John Hartung said: "While we continue to believe we have as much if not more pricing power than other restaurants, we plan to hold off on any menu-pricing decisions until later in the year, which will allow us to see how inflation plays out on a sustained basis and allow us to see how consumers react to price increases from other restaurants and grocers."
No wonder analysts are gun-shy about raising red flags.
"I don't see where people are categorically ringing the alarm bells," Hickok says. "They don't think it will be as bad as it is. Most analysts haven't revised their cost-of-goods-sold estimates in a reasonable way, even though we know what is happening. Until that happens, and estimates go down, it's just chatter. And to think it's baked in [to the stocks] is wrong, because it's not."
Even if chaos in the Middle East wasn't happening, Hickok says he would be saying the same thing. "All restaurants are vulnerable because they all buy food," he says. And food costs have been spiraling higher.
Meanwhile, for now, the general themes among restaurants is that business has been hurt a bit by weather, cost pressures are a bit worse than expected but they're cautiously optimistic because of the economy. "Nobody is throwing in the towel in the first quarter yet because nobody wants to be the first to do so," Hickok says.
You can just feel the indigestion coming.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information.

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - Police in Jonesboro say a woman who found a strange man sitting in her car chased him down and attacked him.
KAIT reports that the woman told officers she found the man sitting in her car about 11:30 p.m. on Halloween. She says the man told her he is a police officer then started running away.
Police say the woman then chased him down, tackled him and starting hitting him until a friend pulled her off the man and called police.
Officers arrested 23-year-old Chad Hensley for breaking or entering, theft and public intoxication.
The woman's name was not released and police did not immediately return a phone call seeking further comment.

Because he put political power and loyalty before every other consideration, as Republicans always do.
According to tradition, the table talk should include religious discussion and consideration of holy texts.
Republican leaders said they did it to protest what they saw as a lack of consideration for their proposed amendments.
mid-14c., "a beholding, looking at," also "keeping in mind," from Old French consideracion (12c., Modern French considération), from Latin considerationem (nominative consideratio) "consideration, contemplation, reflection," noun of action from past participle stem of considerare (see consider). Meaning "a taking into account" is from mid-15c.; that of "something given in payment" is from c.1600.

Gold May Decline in New York as Investors Sell Following Rally
June 24 (Bloomberg) -- Gold, little changed in New York trading, may decline for a second day as some investors sell the metal to lock in gains from this week's rally to a record.
Bullion futures reached an all-time high of $1,266.50 an ounce on June 21, while holdings in exchange-traded funds backed by gold are at records. The Federal Reserve yesterday retained a pledge to keep the benchmark interest rate at a record low for an "extended period" and signaled that European indebtedness may harm American growth. European equities fell.
"There could be a bit of profit-taking," said Afshin Nabavi, a senior vice president at bullion refiner MKS Finance SA in Geneva. "After making new highs early this week, it's probable we could see a correction down to about the $1,220-$1,225 area. But with all the mess going on in the economy, one has to buy on dips."
Gold futures for delivery in August lost $3.40, or 0.3 percent, to $1,231.40 an ounce at 8:04 a.m. on the Comex in New York. Gold for immediate delivery in London was 0.5 percent lower at $1,230.82.
Bullion rose to $1,233.25 an ounce in the morning "fixing" in London, used by some mining companies to sell output, from $1,226.50 at yesterday's afternoon fixing.
Gold is heading for a weekly loss after advancing for four straight weeks as investors sought to protect their wealth amid the European sovereign-debt crisis. The metal is up 12 percent this year and is headed for a 10th consecutive annual gain, the longest winning streak since at least 1920.
The Fed said that falling prices for energy and other commodities were undercutting inflation.
Weakness May 'Bleed'
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index of equities declined for a third day, falling as much as 1.1 percent. The index has declined 7.5 percent from this year's high on April 15 even after the European Union last month unveiled a 750 billion-euro ($921 billion) loan package aimed at stopping the euro region's weakest members from defaulting.
"We fear that weakness in the equity markets shall bleed over into the gold market, as margin clerks again begin to look for places where liquidity can be found," said Dennis Gartman, an economist and the editor of the Suffolk, Virginia-based Gartman Letter.
Assets held by Canada's Central GoldTrust exchange-traded fund jumped 207,842 ounces to 610,832 ounces yesterday, its website showed. The fund said it sold 5.73 million units to a group of underwriters led by CIBC World Markets, raising $280.2 million. The units were primarily sold to investors in the U.S. and Canada, the fund said in a statement on its website.
'Reduced Upside Potential'
Holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest ETF backed by bullion, were unchanged at a record 1,313.13 metric tons yesterday, according to the company's website. Global holdings of the metal by ETFs rose 1.4 tons to 2,051.9 tons yesterday, according to Bloomberg data from 10 providers.
Gold has "reduced upside potential" as investors seek riskier assets such as steel, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst Vasily Nikolaev wrote in a report dated today. China's steps to possibly loosen the yuan's peg to the dollar "could see investors adopt a higher risk appetite, thus putting pressure on defensive gold equities. We see a significantly improved risk-reward in steel after the selloff."
Silver for September delivery in New York fell 0.8 percent to $18.35 an ounce. Platinum for October delivery declined 1.6 percent to $1,550 an ounce. Palladium for September delivery lost 1.4 percent to $467.95 an ounce.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Fressen
by LegrayDynamic
Review: We were in town for the Caribana festival and my brother who is vegan happy cowed this establishment. When we walked in the servers looked nervous to even approach our party ( Not sure if it was because we were the only multiethnic group or maybe because we had dreadlocks) non the less they were not interested serving our party of 6. three of our party were meat eaters two of us were vegetarian, and one of us was vegan. The individuals that were meat eaters were trying out something new for the first time and were treated horribly when they asked questions. What a way to scare them off. we had experienced horrible service over all . On the bright side if you want to call it that, the food was beautiful and tastee! I will never go there again. Also the server took her own undeserving tip by not bringing our change and waving us off to leave.

The 2007 Tablas Creek Vineyard Grenache is Tablas Creek's second varietal bottling of the most widely planted grape in the Rhone Valley. The wine shows the bright fruit and spice, medium body and tangy acidity of the Grenache Noir grape, as well as the characteristic lushness of the 2007 vintage.
We use most of our Grenache in our Esprit de Beaucastel and Cotes de Tablas blends each year. However, we feel that this is a grape whose bright fruit, spice and acidity lends itself well to bottling as a single-varietal wine as well. In addition, Grenache seems to improve more dramatically with vine age than any other grape we grow, and we have been increasingly impressed with its performance in Paso Robles the last few years. We first produced a single-varietal Grenache bottling in 2006.
Our Grenache grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2007 vintage was the best vintage we've yet seen at Tablas Creek. Yields were very low (down between 15% and 30%, depending on variety) due to a cold and very dry winter, which produced small berries and small clusters. A moderate summer without any significant heat spikes followed, allowing gradual ripening, and producing red wines with tremendous intensity, excellent freshness and a lushness to the fruit which cloaks tannins that should allow the wines to age gracefully. The Grenache was harvested between September 25th and October 22nd.
The Grenache grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in closed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed and moved to 1200-gallon foudres to complete their fermentation. The Grenache lots were blended in June of 2008, when we added 10% Syrah to give a touch of black fruit and mineral to the wine. It was aged for an additional year in a 1200-gallon foudres and bottled in April 2009. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2007 Grenache displays a deep, rich nose of cherry, plum, licorice and black tea, medium to full body, and a vibrant, spicy finish that turns a touch darker and firmer at the end. We recommend cellaring the wine for 6-12 months and enjoying it over the next decade.

Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

A multi-faceted and transformational program, Public Achievement continues to have a measurable impact on both participating K-12 students and their college coaches. Results from 2021-2013 student assessments support these claims.
At the conclusion of the 2012-2013 academic year, for example, 93.5% of participating Centaurus High School students indicated that they had the power to address salient community issues; marking a 27.5% increase since August 2012. Students at Escuela Bilingue Pioneer, where PA was piloted in August 2012, were similarly impacted. At the end of the academic year, 76% of surveyed students indicated that they possessed strong leadership skills, marking a 21% increase since January 2013. Given the collaborative nature of PA, participating students also strengthened their relationships with adults through the course of the academic year. Nearly 90% of Centaurus students indicated that adults listened to their ideas and concerns in May 2013, marking a 30% increase since August 2012. Centaurus students also felt more connected to the Lafayette community at the conclusion of the academic year. In August, 37% of PA students indicated that they had a strong connection to the Lafayette community; in May 2013, 75% of students believed they had a strong connection to the local community.
Cooperating Centaurus High School teachers and "I Have a Dream" program coordinators also find merit in the program. According to a community partner survey conducted in may 2013, 100% of partners agreed that Public Achievement provides a viable vehicle for civic engagement and youth leadership. One hundred percent of partners also agreed that the program promotes academic excellence, student retention, and access to post secondary education, and effectively compliments the AVID and "I Have a Dream" curriculum. When asked to cite specific skills that students acquire through their participation in pA, faculty and staff cited public speaking, networking, written communication, event planning, presentation, research, advocacy, team building, and fundraising skills. One hundred percent of cooperating faculty and staff also indicated that PA particpants become increasingly conficent in their interactions with their peers and adults throughout the process, as well as gain the capacity to articulate complex ideas.
Not only do students apply these skills in their academic coursework, but they also identify opportunities to sustain their commitment to public service. Currently, eight PA alumni, five of whom graduated from Centaurus in May, are serving as PA coaches as CU Boulder undergraduates.
CU Boulder students, who serve as Public Achievement coaches, are equally impacted by their experience in the program. In addition to gaining insight into education and democratic theory, students' worldviews are shaped as they are provided an opportunity to explore communities outside of the university campus. Commenting on his experience in the program, one student shared, "I was so surprised to walk into a classroom in North Boulder and be surrounded by all Latino children...You just don't see that demographic on campus, and it's eye opening for CU students to see people, who represent the real community."
Clearly impacted by their participation, undergraduates have changed their academic major or professional pursuits accordingly. While data continues to be collected, several INVS/EDUC 2919 students have been accepted to CU's teaching licensure program, admitted to the INVST Community Leadership Program, invited to serve as Teach For America and Peace Corps members, accepted to graduate programs in relevant fields, and obtained full-time or summer employment with youth leadership organizations in response to their involvement in the program.
See The RMC Research Evaulation Brief for a brief by RMC Research, which evaluated PA programs in the United States during the 2005-2006 academic year.

30 year old woman | Louisville, KY, USA | Seeking men 27-33 within 50 miles
Hello, is there anybody out there?
I'm a RN (registered nurse) and I love my job. It keeps me busy, but still allows me time to do fun things. I have my ADN, but I'm working towards my BSN online with NKU, I'm really excited to finally have the opportunity to achieve a higher degree. I've got my career, now I just need a home/family life to complete my picture for myself. I don't mind traveling and driving for someone, long distance can work for a while if both people are determined to make it work. Aside from that I enjoy music, all kinds, I like going out and staying in too (sometimes the Jersey Shore atmosphere of clubs is just too much). I just want a companion in life, it can be fun by yourself, but it's much more fun to share it with someone. I would enjoy someone who just likes to spend time. Activity doesn't really matter, you can be doing almost anything and make memories if you are surrounded by the right people. I LOVE music (I was a vocal major in high school, and disappointed many people when I didn't go to college for music). I enjoy being outside, in both the sun and rain (rain only in summer where being wet doesn't mean being frozen). I miss camping and hiking, I just don't have people to do that with. I've got a great system of friends and family most of them live 1000 miles or more away though. New friends accepted :) So drop me a line, shoot me an IM if I'm on, I hope to talk to you soon. Just a side note, yes I'm very tall for a woman, please don't let that deter you from talking to me. It's kind of shallow if you do
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Bowling, Cycling, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc., Horses, Reptiles
I love New England, I would really enjoy living there some day. I just mainly like the company of good friends, and good conversation, company matters more than location.
Jefferson Community and Technical College, Louisville, KY
I really like monkeys they are my favorite animal, color is blue, food is spaghetti, and I've recently become addicted to True Blood and Once Upon a TIme
When I have time for fun aside from school and work I just like getting out and about with people. Doing anything, walking, visiting museums, seeing a movie, eating, whatever.
Aside from the words I'm typing, this summer I have caught up on my reading list. 50 Shades, Crossfire Trilogy, Inferno, currently reading Warrior Angel, sadly I will have to go back to school related content soon.

The Republican Party's myths and legends tour continues.
The Bush Legacy is getting a shot in the keester with Deadeye Dick Cheney leading the charge with his "torture worked in getting bin Laden" propaganda.
Give the Bushies the credit. Why not? This keeps the tradition alive within the party of enhanced interrogation.
The GOP gives Ronald Reagan all the credit for ending the Cold War. Republicans are so adept at this kind of malarkey they can get their followers to believe Reagan made the decision to end the Cold War after one of his daily walks across the Reflecting Pool in D.C.
In truth, six presidents before The Gipper should get the lion's share of the credit. Reagan just happened to be taking a nap in the White House when the media declared the Cold War was over.
Republicans are without peer at getting the politically naive to believe anything.
Heck, they could even get away with this one: FDR turned a deaf ear when he got word that the Japanese were planning to attack Pearl Harbor. Then he started World War II when they did attack. It took a future Republican president —- General Dwight D. Eisenhower —- to end it.
Speaking of Republicans, it's refreshing to know that they've been cured (for now) of their collective selective amnesia.
For a while there they were forgetting everything bad that happened when they occupied the White House before The Muslim was inaugurated in 2009. The GOP specifically wanted to forget the George W. Bush eight-year lame duck presidency. So they pretended it didn't happen. At least they prtetended that nothing bad happened. Even Rudy 9/11 was saying bizarro things like, as far as he could remember, there was never a terrorist attack on the United States when W. was president. Huh?
Speaking of W., he declined that invite last week from President Obama to go to ground zero and share in some of the credit for killing bin Laden.
Several reasons why W. declined have surfaced. Some were never reported. Like:
1. W. was too busy watchin' rasslin' and coming up with different snack uses for goobers and beef jerky.
2. Obama told him he wouldn't be allowed to use a bullhorn this time to talk to the people. ("Rain Man want bullhorn! Rain Man want bullhorn!")
3. W. threw a hissy fit when Obama asked if he could borrow his "Mission Accomplished" banner from his presidential library.
4. W. had to maintain his image as "The Decider." So he decided once again not to make the smart choice. This guy isn't allowed to go grocery shopping because he can't decide between paper or plastic.
5. He started drinking again.
Speaking of Republicans, former Calee-for-nee-ah governor Ahh-nold and his wife Maria Shriver have called it quits after 25 years of marriage.
He thanked the public for letting them split up in peace without making a big deal out of it. Everyone complied because no one cared.
Still, there were some reasons why they split that were left unreported. Until now:
1. Maria let herself go. She gained a pound.
2. Maria got tired of waiting for him to learn how to walk without dragging his knuckles.
3. He wanted to spend more time with his pecs.
4. She got furious when he wanted to cast her in his next "Terminator"movie as the villainess Skeletor.
5. She couldn't wait any longer to finally get to say to him" "Hasta la vista, baby."

$200 In Bank, $7M In Gold Hidden Inside Home
One for all the Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) bugs out there !!
A Carson City, Nev., recluse whose body was found in his home at least a month after he died left only $200 in his bank account.
But as Walter Samaszko Jr.'s house was being cleared for sale, officials made a surprise discovery: gold bars and coins valued at $7 million.
"Nobody had any clue he was hoarding the gold," Carson City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover told the Las Vegas Sun, adding it was found stored in boxes in the house and garage.
The 69-year-old Samaszko was found dead in his home in late June after neighbors called authorities. He had been dead of heart problems for at least a month, according to the coroner.
He had lived in the house since the 1960s, and his mother lived with him until her death in 1992.
He left no will and had no apparent close relatives. But using a list of those who attended the mother's funeral, Glover's office tracked down Arlene Magdanz, a first cousin in San Rafael, Calif., the Sun reported.
A recording said her phone number had been disconnected.
"Our goal is to get the most money for the heir," Glover said.
The gold coins had been minted as early as the 1840s in such countries as Mexico, England, Austria and South Africa, he said.
Based on just the weight of the gold alone, Glover estimates their worth at $7 million. Because some of the coins appear to be collector's items, the value could go much higher, he said.
Neighbors told authorities they knew little about Samaszko other than he was quiet and not a problem.
Samaszko was "anti-government," Carson City's Nevada Appeal reported, and a few conspiracy theory books were found in the home along with several guns.
"He never went to a doctor," Glover told the newspaper. "He was obsessed with getting diseases from shots."
Samaszko also had stock accounts of more than $165,000 and another $12,000 in cash at the house.
Glover said he wants to start selling off the gold as soon as possible. The IRS wants a share of the total, he said, and the case is relatively simple other than the agency's involvement.
"At least you don't have 12 relatives fighting," Glover told the Appeal.

BHP Billiton's $15 Billion TemptationBy Robb M. Stewart
BHP Billiton BLT.LN +0.47%may have as much as US$15 billion locked into assets it could sell, which if released could lessen pressure on waning cash flow to fund the mining giant's spending plans.
The company has raised more than US$2.3 billion with the sale of a large uranium deposit in Western Australia and a 37% stake in a mineral sands venture in South Africa in the past two weeks alone. Deutsche Bank DBK.XE +4.10%analysts think efforts to streamline its portfolio of businesses are unlikely to end there.
In a research report, they identified a further US$10 billion-US$15 billion of possible disposals that could be made over the next two to three years, which would allow BHP to funnel the proceeds into high-returning growth projects such as shale oil in the U.S., the Escondida and Spence mines in Chile and getting rid of capacity bottlenecks in the Pilbara iron ore operations in Western Australia.

Cincinnati arrived in San Diego tied for first place in the NL Central on Friday partly because their 13 road wins were more than anybody else in the majors. The Reds left San Diego stuck on 13 road wins.
It was the first time all season Dusty Baker's surprisingly competitive club lost three in a row, but what's more of a concern as they head into Monday's off day before opening a nine-game homestand Tuesday against Philadelphia is the health of slugger Joey Votto and starter Edinson Volquez.
Both will be examined on Monday in Cincinnati.
• Volquez left Saturday's 16-inning marathon in the sixth inning with back spasms. He came up stiff the other day, according to Baker, when he missed a step at home.
"Old guys go one step at a time," Baker said. "Young guys skip steps, and he skipped one and landed funny."
• The travails of Votto, who left Saturday night's game with dizziness, are more mysterious.
Votto now has missed six starts since May 7 with the flu and left two other games with dizziness. Votto, who did not play Sunday, just shook his head and expressed frustration at an illness that nobody seems quite able to diagnose or cure.
"You don't know whether to be concerned about it because you don't know what it is," Baker said. "You're concerned about it. You just don't know how concerned to be.
"Something has to be wrong for this guy to not play, or to come out of the lineup. This guy's a gamer, big-time."
Votto has five homers, 27 RBI and a .470 on-base percentage this season, and it's probably no coincidence that when the Reds finally dropped a third consecutive game for the first time this season, it came with Votto watching from the bench.
"He's our big man in the middle," Baker said. "Right now, we're hoping he's OK and we get him back."
Likes: Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley to Chris Jenkins in the San Diego Union-Tribune last week: "I don't really play the game. I feel it." ... Glad to see Cincinnati winning -- at least, until this weekend. That is one terrific baseball town, and it would be fun to see it come back to life during a stretch run. ... Cal Ripken Jr. wanting answers from Alex Rodriguez on the steroids stuff. ... Baskin-Robbins ice cream cakes for birthdays.
Dislikes: Jim Joyce is a good umpire, but Saturday's 16-inning marathon between the Reds and Padres was not his finest moment. Reds reliever David Weathers was badly squeezed. Had a few of those pitches been called strikes, as they should have been, the game would have ended in nine innings. Then, in the 12th and 13th innings, suddenly Joyce was calling everything strike -- including several pitches way more out of the zone than Weathers'. ... Finally finished Selena Roberts' A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez. The highlight was her breaking the story that A-Rod was a user last February. The rest? This book will be on the $4 shelves by Christmas.
Rock 'N' Roll Lyric of the Day:
"So the great affair is over
"But whoever would have guessed
"It would leave us all so vacant
"And so deeply unimpressed
"It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
"I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far"
--Leonard Cohen, "Death of a Ladies' Man

Dark Chocolate, Clove and Cinnamon Brownies
|Unsalted butter
|2 1⁄4 Cup (36 tbs) (Plus Extra)
|10 Ounce (With 70 To 80% Cocoa, Plus Extra To Serve)
|Granulated sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Soft light demerara sugar
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|3 , beaten
|Egg yolks
|Pecan nuts
|1 Cup (16 tbs), crushed
|All purpose flour
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Baking powder
|1 Teaspoon
|Sea salt
|1 Teaspoon
|Cocoa powder
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs) (Unsweetened, Plus Extra To Serve)
|Ground cloves
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Ground cinnamon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
1 Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square cake pan, then line with baking parchment.
2 Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Once completely melted, set the chocolate aside to cool slightly.
3 Put the butter, granulated sugar and Demerara sugar into a food processor and blend on a high setting about 5 minutes, or until they form a smooth paste.
4 Slowly add the eggs, a little at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture and blend on a low setting until everything is incorporated. Give the mixture a final blast on a high setting 30 seconds, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
5 Slowly fold in the melted chocolate, then add the nuts and sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, cloves and cinnamon. Fold everything together using a large metal spoon, then scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a metal spatula and bake 20 to 30 minutes until soft and gooey in the middle and just cracking on the top and sides. To test if the brownie is baked through, insert a skewer into the middle, pushing right to the bottom. It should come out with a little of the yummy, goey brownie clinging but not totally coating it. If the skewer is completely coated, put the brownie back in the oven and test it again every 3 minutes until baked.
6 Remove the pan from the oven and leave the brownie to cool 30 minutes in the pan. Flip the brownie out of the pan onto a cutting board, peel off the baking parchment and cut into squares. Serve hot, warm or cold with a generous sprinkling of cocoa powder and a sprinkling of cinnamon, to taste.
The recipe is excerpted from the book Mighty Spice, written by John Gregory-Smith. For more information please visit his website www.johngregorysmith.com

East Sydney, New South Wales
East Sydney is a small inner-city locality in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is situated immediately east of the Sydney central business district, adjacent to Hyde Park.
East Sydney is a locality within the suburbs of Darlinghurst and Woolloomooloo in the City of Sydney. With the exception of William Street, the suburb remains primarily a residential area, and council proposals for street closures in 2005 indicate that it will probably stay that way. Stanley Street and Crown Street feature many restaurants with different cuisines.
East Sydney - as part of the Eastern Suburbs - is represented in one of the most popular sporting competitions in Australia, the National Rugby League, by the local Rugby League club, the Sydney Roosters (formerly known as the Eastern Suburbs Roosters) which have represented the area in the League since 1908.
Coordinates: 33°52′31″S 151°12′53″E / 33.87531°S 151.21459°E

It means - it is enabled in our preproduction sample.
The productions unit will have the same chip - so GPS will be there. Will it be easily enabled as our preproduction - we cannot say?

hello, my name is Brent and I am a flincher.
that is what I have discovered after posting in the Range Report section on shooting my new PA-63. The help I received from the forum was cool.
As mentioned, I bought a new FEG PA-63 in 9x18 makarov. I have a local gun store that keeps the ammo on the shelf, so I consider myself lucky after reading some other posts about the scarcity of more popular calibers.
my other handgun is an H&R 949 .22LR 9 shot revolver. this gun is great for plinking and target practice. very accurate but a PITA to unload and reload.
I grew up around guns. mostly rifles and black powder pistols and rifles.

Enthusiasm for Sports Runs High in DPRK
| Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- August and September are the months for the people's physical strength examination in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
With the months as an occasion, efforts are concentrated on whipping up the atmosphere for sports across the country and inspiring all the people to take part in mass sports activities.
Every year all the sectors and units, including ministries and national institutions, have paid deep attention to the physical training of their employees so that they can pass through the examination in sports events and standards set by the state.
Also, a campaign has been conducted to provide enough sports facilities and raise the people's interest in sports.
Enthusiasm for sports activities is now running high at industrial establishments and schools and in co-op farms and other fields, through the preparations for the people's physical strength examination.

The Philadelphia Eagles have had well-documented struggles, mostly due to their offensive lines inability to block, and tonight has been no exception. Eagles QB Michael Vick finally connected with DeSean Jackson on this huge pass play, and Jackson looked like his old self with these ankle breaking juke moves. How he got so wide open is beyond me, but you can watch the full play here.Via: @cjzero

It goes without saying that this four-game series over the weekend is monumental for the Baltimore Orioles, as it could help them stay in the thick of things in the American League East hunt.
Then again, if they do not at least split the series in California, it could send the Orioles into quite the tailspin and dangerously close to the .500 mark, plus to the basement of the division.
The Los Angeles Angels once again defeated the Baltimore Orioles this season, this time, by a score of 9-7, on the left coast. Well, the Orioles once again got another lackluster performance from a young pitcher – Jake Arrieta.
After the game, the Orioles sent another pitcher back to the minors for seasoning. Guess who it was: Jake Arrieta.
One could say that Arrieta perhaps has the best arsenal on the Baltimore Orioles when you look at all the starting pitchers; however, all that does not make a difference if you cannot be consistent on the mound.
Arrieta looked better in June; alas, when July rolled around, he was awful – again.
Well, I watched the game until the 4th inning, and the Orioles were up 4-3 on the Angels. Jake Arrieta looked a little shaky, but if the cards were played right, he might have been acceptable on the evening.
Soon, that thought went out the window.
He would give up three runs before the fourth inning; however, that frame decided the game as the Angels scored five more times to put the game out of reach.
If there was any appreciable news from last night, the offense came together. It was a wasted effort as Matt Wieters drove in four and also homered. Ryan Flaherty and Mark Reynolds went deep as well.
This current development is bad for Arrieta. The Orioles gave him every chance in the world to succeed in the majors, but sadly, in a what-have-you-done-for-me business, Arrieta has failed.
Right now, the Orioles are in a world of hurt when it comes to their starting pitching. If the tide does not turn around soon, they may fade from the American League East race – very fast.
Everyone knew that the Achilles' heel for the Orioles would be the pitching. Sadly, the masses are looking right.
The Orioles' saving is grace is this: they are only 5 ½ behind the Yankees in the division, and everyone else within it has been beaten up. If the season ended now, the Orioles would be in the playoff – which is terrific news.
However, it will not matter much if the pitching situation cannot be turned around. They still have half-a-season to play, and anything can happen.
There's way too much time left in the season and the Orioles can easily go into a swoon; however, they can also start flying high again … but the starting pitching, ugh, the starting pitching must improve.

Railroad buffs come to rescue of endangered East Texas line
The Texas State Railroad, a train that traces its lineage to the 1880s, was due to shut down this month due to a lack of state money. But supporters of the railroad mounted a campaign to save the line, which runs the 25 miles from Palestine to Rusk in East Texas.
This week railroad supporters got good news. The railroad will keep running at least until August, thanks to an infusion of money ferreted out by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Legislative Budget Board. The Texas State Railroad Preservation Task Force, a group of citizens organized to lobby for the railroad, had worried that even a brief stoppage of the historic ride would mean its demise.
Give ROSES to the railroad task force for victory, even if it's a temporary one. To many, the fight to save the railroad is a metaphor for the sad state of funding of Texas' state park system. Steve Presley, task force chairman, told the Tyler Morning Telegraph, "I think enough people have been letting their legislators know parks are very important to us. It's ridiculous to allow a historical treasure as the Texas State Railroad to close."
Grinch in Vienna
Saint Nicholas is getting the boot from kindergartens in Vienna, Austria, because city officials think a guy with a beard is just too scary.
The officials denied that the ban on Santa has anything to do with ceding a popular Christmas figure to a growing Muslim population. They say it's all about protecting kids from a character who might seem threatening to some kids. But it all smacks of someone's idea of Austrian cultural centrism, since St. Nick is a figure more associated with Northern Europe. Some Christmas markets in the nation have also banned St. Nick figures, seeing the old boy as a stalking horse for commercialism.
But what about the Vienna kids who expect Santa for Christmas? This was not mentioned by city officials who get a big THORN in their Christmas stockings.

Janine Erica P. Dayao Mary Bernadette V. Egloso Partial Characteriztion of the potential biodegrading ability of the fungi Xylaria sp. and its four mutants, [mutant 1, mutant 2, mutant 3, mutant 4] on natural rubber, chicken feathers, and polystyrene Objectives: 1. to determine if Xylaria sp. mutants and wild type can degrade/consume/ assimilate natural rubber as a carbon source 2. to determine if Xylaria sp. mutants and wild type can degrade/consume/ assimilate chicken feathers as a carbon and nitrogen source 3. to determine if Xylaria sp. mutants and wild type can degrade/consume/ assimilate polystyrene as a carbon source 4. to compare the biodegrading ability of the wild type to each mutant Outline of methodology I. Preparation of Inoculum Isolate the Xylaria sp. by culturing it in a Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium. Adjust to pH 5 and incubate at 25˚C. After 2-3 days, transfer the fungi into test media. II. Preparation of Pollutants A. Petroleum B. Polystyrene Cut 1x1 cm strips from polystyrene food containers C. Chicken feather Obtain fresh feathers from Gallus gallus sp. Sterilize by putting inside SM plastic bag and autoclave for 20 mins. at 15psi. D. Rubber - Obtain rubber latex gloves III. Preparation of Test Media* A. For plates: Prepare 2 sets of plates containing 20 ml PDA in triplicate (6 plates per mutant/wild type, per pollutant tested). Add 0.5% glucose in set A and add 0.5% of the liquid pollutant in set B. Set A is to verify if the fungi inoculated to both set-ups are active. Adjust to pH 5 by adding small amounts of either 0.1M NaOH or 0.1M HCl. Inoculate the fungi using agar discs from the PDA plate described in I. Agar discs will be obtained by cutting a 2-3 day-old inoculum on the peripheral area of a colony using a 5-8 mm diameter cork borer. The agar discs will be transferred to the PDA plates of sets A and B by using a sterile toothpick. Incubate at 25˚C. Observe the colony growth in set B and compare it always with set A. Set A will be the control group and it would indicate whether the fungi transferred is active. Then measure the colony growth by its diameter. B. For flasks and test tubes: Prepare 2 sets of flasks containing 50 ml Mineral Medium each, in triplicate. Add 0.5% glucose in set A and B. Adjust to pH 5 by adding small amounts of either 0.1M NaOH or 0.1M HCl. Then add the solid pollutant in set B only. Inoculate the fungi by using ………….. When all the glucose has been used up and the fungi had grown into a considerable mass as examined visually, add another MM + 0.5% glucose in set A only, leaving the set B flasks to utilize the solid pollutants as the sole carbon source. The extent of colonization should be carefully examined every day until rate of colony growth can be predicted (growth in mm/day). But if otherwise, continue adding the MMG (mineral medium+0.5%glucose) to both sets of flask until the fungi has grown and thrived. Incubate for 50-80days, with the flasks in a room with more or less 250C in temperature, under shaking conditions, while the test tubes in an incubator with 250C in temperature as well. IV. Remove solid pollutants from the culture medium and examine under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Note: * - this step is intended for each mutant and for the wild type. Since we have 4 mutant strains and a wild type, this step will be repeated five times multiplied with the number of pollutants to be used. For Set B: *RUBBER Natural latex gloves will be cut into pieces with masses of 0.25 g Mineral medium then autoclave subsequently. Inoculate the fungi after the medium has cooled. Then incubate at 25 ˚C at pH 5. Or cultivate the fungi on a latex overlay agar plate technique wherein a layer of concentrated natural rubber is added on top of the mineral medium or Potato dextrose agar at a concentration of 0.02% (wt/vol). *CHICKEN FEATHERS The basic medium used for isolation and fermentation of the feather-degrading microorganisms contained the following constituents (g/L): NaCl (0.5), KH2PO4 (0.7), K2HPO4 (1.4), MgSO4 (0.1) and feathers (10), pH 7.2. Cultivation was done using 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 ml medium. Feather agar medium containing the basic medium and 20 g/L of agar was used for screening the microorganisms in plates. For the medium used for screening mutants, 10 g casein was used instead of feathers. Luria-Bertani (LB) medium (peptone 1% (w/v), yeast extract 0.3% (w/v), NaCl 0.5% (w/v), pH 7.2) was used for inoculum preparation and isolate maintenance. The fungi will be inoculated on the feather medium-containing flasks and will be shaken at 25 ˚C. *POLYSTYRENE Prepare 2 sets of flasks containing 50 ml Mineral Medium each, in triplicate. Add 0.5% glucose in set A and B. Adjust to pH 5 by adding small amounts of either 0.1M NaOH or 0.1M HCl. Ten pieces of polystyrene strips cut into 1x1 cm from polystyrene food containers are added to the set A flasks only, and were then inoculated with a loopful of Xylaria sp. mycelium. Set B without polystyrene strips were used as control. All the sets are incubated for 50- 80days, in a room with more or less 250C in temperature. *PETROLEUM

I'd love to see Saul Tigh as a young toaster. Who should play the role?
No one, because there's no young Saul Tigh, the Final Five arrived at the end of the first Cylon War and the Tighs weren't younger then than they were in BSG. After Cavil killed them, Tigh was boxed for 20 years and when he reappeared in the colonies, he already looked like a slightly younger Michael Hogan with more hair. Tighs memories of fighting in the war were faked.
But I would love to see Final Five actually appearing and ending the war in the pilot with most of the movie (or mini-series?) being a flashback. I'm not sure it should be a regular series, there's always the chance it's getting cancelled without completing the story. A six or eight hours mini-series is more than enough to tell a great story, wrap up Caprica if necessary and tie it into BSG by showing the Final Five.
