Video of the Krewe of Gemini Parade 2015
Better late than never I suppose.
Better late than never I suppose.
Happy Mardi Gras! We're pumped up up here at Townsquare Media and we're celebrating with tons of Tubb's Extreme King Cake! So how are you celebrating Fat Tuesday? You know it's your last day to blow it out right? In fact, I personally give you permission to blow your diet!
For the second weekend in a row, huge crowds have turned out to party for carnival in Shreveport!
I hate, hate, hate that I missed the Krewe of Highland Bal this past Friday night at the Randall T. Moore Center. Why? Because it's a like a cross between a house party and a Mardi Gras bal with amazing costumes on steroids!
The old adage is true, it never rains on Highland! Well, except for last year, but we're just going to forget that!
The Krewe of Gemini parade rolled through the SBC earlier today and as my first Mardi Gras parade, I couldn't have had more fun!
One of Shreveport/Bossier City's favorite parades, the Krewe of Highland's, rolls this Sunday, February 15th at 2pm!
The Krewe of Highland is known for throwing one heck of a party and I can't imagine this Friday will be any different for their grand bal celebrating all things Mardi Gras and 'The Glory of Rome!'
As you may have heard, there's going to be a big parade on Saturday! The Krewe of Gemini is the oldest parading krewe in our area and was founded in 1989.
Before you head out to the Krewe of Centaur Parade, it's time for Mardi Gras in the District!
Looking for a unique way to celebrate two big days in one? We've got it!
Granted, it's not the best parody I've ever heard, BUT it's still pretty good! Mainly because Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars rocked it out legit in the first place in Uptown Funk!

If you're looking for anime similar to Pretear, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Tohru Honda is a compassionate girl who is down on her luck. Her mother having recently died, she has been forced to camp out in the woods for shelter. However, things start to turn around once she is invited to live with class hunk Yuki Sohma and his family... but all is not as it seems! Yuki's family is burdened with a dark curse which causes them to turn into the animals of the Chinese zodiac once hugged by a member of the opposite sex... and Honda may be the only one who can help them.
Both are harem based with one girl and several guys. Also, the main characters both are very lifelike and open to the male counterparts, so consider either series if you like optimistic, energetic shoujos.
Both series revolve around young ladies who keep a positive attitude no matter the situation. Each girl has her own set of family problems, but with a can do attitude, and a group of boys surrounding them, they survive and even flourish. If you love the energy and romance in one, you will surely love the other. ^^
Both main characters Himeno and Honda have unfortunate fate, but they both have very strong personalities - they always try to go on and try to understand people around them. And that's probably why they are chosen to fulfill difficult tasks. It may seem like very sad series according to my previous sentences, but both of them are also very funny. If you liked one, you would surely like the other.
Life can be tough when you're a teenager. Enter Tsukino Usagi, an average, if somewhat clumsy, junior high student whose voracious appetite for sweets and capacity for tears are offset by her enthusiasm for life. Her normal existence is suddenly turned upside down when a talking cat named Luna comes into her life. Suddenly, Usagi finds herself with the ability to transform into the superhero known as Sailor Moon. Fighting the occasional monster may be the least of her worries, though...
Pretear and Sailor Moon are about girls transforming to fight evil. The difference is in Pretear we got one girl surrounded by a few male super heroes together fighting evil while in Sailor Moon we got lots of girls fighting along side one male hero. Magic is used in both when fighting evil, and in both the characters have regular school lives outside of fighting the evil trying to take over the world. If you like the fighting evil and want to watch it repetively than go for Sailor Moon, with the reverse being true for Pretear with a short and sweet story.
Both these shows are about girls that transform and have to fight evil beings. In both of these you understand why the evil person became that way and feel sorry for them. Both these shows have some romance and inner stugules inside the main girls.
If you want an anime that contains magic powers, love, friendship, good vs evil fights Pretear and Sailor Moon (all SM series) are both what you've been looking for. Personally , I simply love SM because it was my very first anime and at first I couldn't find anything that would suit me, but after I saw Pretear I was completely satisfied with it. You can say that Pretear is a shortened version of Sailor Moon, despite the fact that the subject is different. All that matters is the way they treat the subject .
Guided by a star only they can see, a group of maidens known as HiMEs have begun to gather at Fuuka Academy. These young women have been endowed with dangerous supernatural powers that they can use to their heart's content, but there's a price: to wield them, they must put their most important thing on the line. Now, in the midst of school work and friendships, they find themselves caught in the midst of strange conspiracies seemingly related to the terrifying monsters that attack them. Is the power of the HiMEs strong enough to save themselves and the ones they love?

I agree
Both series feature strong female leads with newfound powers that have to save the world. Both females have some trouble deciding whether or not to accept their new powers and must determine how to balance love with trying to save everyone. Both series were very emotional and I'm sure if you liked one, you'll definitely like the other.
If you loved Mai-Hime, you'll definitely fall for Pretear (or vice versa) as both stories revolve around troubled heroines who don't understand why they have been granted special powers, and why they should use them to save the world. However, Mai-Hime tends to be more serious while Pretear is more fairy tale-like.
Both these animes are different but i can recommend that anyone who has seen one would love the other, there is more action in My Hime than Pretear, but they are both about girls discovering who they are and what they have to do to protect the people they love, yes they have similarities and differences mainly being the action of the fighting scenes.
Misaki Suzuhara is a young girl who traveled to Tokyo to live with a relative, but ended up becoming involved in the greatest game of all time: Angelic Layer! In this fast-paced competition, players customize dolls and fight them in arenas of all sizes, hoping to gain experience and perhaps win the greatest tournament of them all! With new friends to meet and new enemies to defeat, the best time of Misaki's life seems to be just beginning. Join Misaki as she struggles to be the best, even in the face of overwhelming odds...

I agree
Angelic Layer and Pretear have plenty of spirit. Just because you think you can't do something, that doesn't mean that hard work and good friends can't make it happen! Both of our heroines have a good head on their shoulders and use a lot of might and will power to get where they want to be!
Angelic Layer and Pretear are both very similar in that a young girl protagonist must face the odds and overcome. Each do it a little differently, but they both are always positive and upbeat, never trying to hurt anyone or to let others suffer. They both have a magical element in a sense, and both have a little romance. If you loved one, I have no doubt that you will love the other.
If you work hard and try your best you can strive and meet your goal. That is the message that both Angelic Layer and Pretear present to viewers. Both of the heroines in the series have a certain goal that they want to obtain and friends along boost their confidence and keep them moving to reach that goal.
The fantasy world of Arcadia is in peril: fierce monsters known as Thanatos are sucking the life from humans, and only men known as Purifiers can vanquish them. Angelique is a young girl who attends Melrose Girls Academy and thought her life was normal, until the dashing Nyx told her that she has hidden powers within. After a brutal attack by a Thanatos, Angelique finds she is able to help in the battle and heal those who have been sucked dry; her powers are real, and she discovers she is in fact the Queen's Egg - the only female Purifier. With the help of allies such as shoot-em-up Rayne, the happy traveler J.D. and Silver Knight Hyuga, Angelique will learn about her powers and help put a stop to the Thanatos.
Both of these anime center around high school girls that discover they hold mysterious powers. I can see similar distinctions between both of them. Both are reverse harem anime and I'm sure if you like one you will like the other.
If you've watched either Angelique or Pretear then I strongly recommend you watching the other one. The two have the same kind characters and ideas that make them both great. Both of the main characters are girls who think that they're not special in any way and can't be of help to anyone - plus they're surrounded by guys that are sworn to protect them and fight alongside them. In Pretear the story is more comical - but in both anime are genres of shoujo, magic, romance and comedy. In both Angelique and Pretear you'll find yourself cheering the main character on as she attempts to fulfill her duty and make sturdy relationships with the characters.
If you enjoyed either Pretear or Neo Angelique Abyss - then the other is a MUST see!
Pretear and Neo Angelique Abyss are remarkably similar to one another. The main heroine in each have magical type powers that they have to use to save their friends and loved ones. Along the way a group of guys is their to help her reach her goal and discover just how far her powers can reach.

All about online slots
Originally known as the "one-armed bandits", online slot games have become the most popular gambling ventures in recent history.
Slot machines come in various shapes and sizes and it stands to reason that so do the rewards. Known by many names, such as fruit machines, pokies, puggies, or simply slots, these inventive gambling apparatuses have been around for almost a quarter of a century, beginning with a forerunner to the contemporary slot machine, based on poker. This machine had been invented by Sittman and Pitt in New York and was soon sported by all the bars in the city.
Easy to play and also fitted with an easy way to reap the rewards, slot machines can display any number of reels between one and five. Since the invention of the first true slot machine which sported the traditional card game symbols plus a bonus symbol, there have been immense graphical advances, especially in the online gambling section.
Nowadays, the majority of gamblers choose to play this classic game online, either from the comfort of their PC or through the newer mobile and tablet applications. To give you a more recent account of what slot machines are and how they function, we have compiled the information in three main sections which you will find to be more than useful. Let's get down to it!
You can choose to play online slots for free
If you are a starting-out gambler then you can take advantage of the wide array of benefits that come with playing online for free. Most, if not all casinos, offer great incentives for new players, as well as for new, more versed, account holders. Casinos realize players need to first see what the game is about, therefore, anything from free spins to actual cash bonuses can be found on various online casino websites, and this allows you to play stress-free and without losing any money.
Since you are not investing any money it results that you are not going to be winning any money either. These free incentives give you the opportunity to get acquainted with the game and simply enjoy the fun-factor associated with online gambling. Otherwise, if you are interested in making some real cash, read on and you will find out how.
What are the best online slots?
Before learning about how to invest real money into online slot games, we should give you some details about the best online slots worth trying out. We have searched the World Wide Web and have come up with the following categories we enjoyed in particular. The list is definitely not exhaustive and you can browse online casino websites in search for your personal favorites.
Slot games can be chosen depending on several factors. The games with 3 or 5 reels may offer more than one payline. The number of rows is also important and online slot games can feature anything from one, to several rows. Paylines are of course the most vital when it comes to counting your winnings. Starting with one payline, a player can bet more to be allowed to play for 3, 5, 9, 15, 20, and even 25 lines.
The up-and-coming games in the online world are Video Slots. Although the stakes can be rather high, video slots are definitely the most fun to play. With graphics provided by either one of the game magnates Playtech or Microgaming, online video slot games can be a delight for the senses. Completely unconventional as compared to the classical slot games, video slots provide an excellent user experience rich with gorgeous visuals, optimized sound, and the chance to win big.
Another interesting category is the Progressive Slots games. When we talk about progressive we are referring to progressive jackpots. This means that there is a prize pool that increases every time there is a losing spin, giving you the chance to win crazy amounts of cash. The trick is to place the max bet in order to receive the biggest payout.
Slots for real money
Now it's time to get down to business and talk real money. Obviously it's super fun to play for free but it's more fun to actually be able to win some money. Considering the fact that you have chosen the casino that fits your needs and preferences, signing up and starting your game is easier than ever with the secure online systems most casinos have in place today.
Betting is the easy part, winning takes some finesse. Make sure you do a bit of research as to what casinos offer what bonuses for newcomers, and what other loyalties may be involved. If you take your time and are diligent in your search, you can definitely find 100% satisfaction while winning at slots. We are adamant about the research bit because of the amazing variety of slot games offered online.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you must keep your eyes on the reels. Different games offer different rewards and making sure you catch that free spin or bonus combination can make the difference between a win and a loss. There are many more details to learn about online slots games and as they say "knowledge comes from experience". Get out there and find your favorite online slot games!
In conclusion, playing online slots games comes with many payoffs if you know your game, pay attention to the reels and bet the right amount.

IRS Auditing Build Americas Sold by San Antonio, Chicago Agency
Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is auditing $375 million in Build America Bonds issued by San Antonio and $600 million from a Chicago sewer district, five months after the agency said it would scrutinize sales of the federally subsidized debt.
San Antonio officials notified bondholders this week that the IRS will audit Build Americas the city sold in June 2009 for its municipal utility, CPS Energy. The agency, which routinely audits tax-exempt bond issues, is seeking information on who bought the taxable securities, the price they paid and how the bonds subsequently traded, according to a copy of a letter to the utility dated Oct. 14.
The IRS said in the letter that the examination was routine and that it had "no reason to believe" that the Texas city's debt issuance failed to comply with applicable tax requirements.
"They're being prudent and just making sure that people have proper documentation and that they're following the guidelines," said Paula Gold-Williams, the chief financial officer of CPS Energy, in a telephone interview today. The letter from the IRS was addressed to her.
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago posted a one-page letter today to bond buyers, saying the IRS sent it a letter Sept. 24 notifying it that its sale of $600 million of Build America Bonds in August 2009 will be audited. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is also examining the bond sale. Brad Waterman, a lawyer for the district, confirmed the letter and declined further comment.
Build Americas
Build America Bonds are the fastest-growing segment of the $2.8 trillion municipal market. The program, set to expire at year-end, was created by Congress last year as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The U.S. Treasury pays 35 percent of the annual interest cost if states and local governments sell Build Americas instead of tax-exempt bonds for new capital projects. There have been $148 billion of the securities sold, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The disclosure of the audits follows a plan announced this year by IRS officials that they would begin examining the sale of the securities. The agency said in February it sent a questionnaire to issuers asking whether they monitor the trading of their Build America Bonds soon after they are issued and whether any of the securities were purchased for the accounts of underwriters, which could reap added profits if they were sold at below-market prices.
Price Gains
Steven Chamberlin, compliance manager in the IRS's tax-exempt bond unit, said in a May 25 conference call organized by the National Association of Bond Lawyers that the agency would follow up the questionnaires with audits. Dean Patterson, an IRS spokesman, declined to comment.
The queries came after prices of some of the issues jumped in initial trading, delivering potentially quick profits to those who were let in on the offering.
San Antonio sold the $375 million of electric and gas revenue bonds the first week of June last year. The securities, which mature in 2039, were priced to yield 5.985 percent, equal to the coupon rate, according to Bloomberg data. The bonds initially traded at 100 cents on the dollar on June 2 and rose to as much as $1.04 on June 4, which meant the yield fell to 5.7 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The subsidy the federal government pays is based on the coupon.
New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was the senior manager of the seven-member banking team that underwrote the securities. Michael DuVally, a Goldman Sachs spokesman, declined to comment immediately.
The sewer district's Build America sale cost taxpayers $8 million in unnecessary interest and resulted in a bonanza for bankers, Bloomberg News reported in December. The issue was arranged by a 12-member banking team led by Mesirow Financial Inc. and Loop Capital Markets LLC, which are both based in Chicago.

Elisabeth Moss is sounding off on Jon Hamm's junk!
While on Watch What Happens Live last night, Moss was put in the hot seat when Andy Cohen asked her about all the media attention surrounding her hunky Mad Men costar's supposedly gifted man parts.
"Is it true what they say about Jon Hamm's ham?" Cohen asked.
NEWS: Jon Hamm's home swarmed by firemen
"Well, I mean, we've all seen the pictures so I mean I would suppose so," Moss said. "That's all I know."
Moss was also asked about her former Speed the Plow costar Jeremy Piven, who famously dropped out of the 2008 Broadway production citing mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi.
"That's a very good one. I could go on and on," Moss smiled, adding that Piven's dropping-out was him "being highly unprofessional."
NEWS: Andy Cohen talks Bethenny Frankel divorce
"We were all surprised," she added. "It came out of nowhere. He just didn't come back one day."
Moss revealed that she saw him a month after the theater shakeup at the Golden Globes, "when he was supposed to be really sick."

I enjoy travelling and experiencing new things; I've been to Honduras, Germany, and the U.K. I'm hoping the see a lot more of the world. What am I looking for? She must be honest, kind-hearted, doesn't take herself too seriously, and has a great sense of humor. The quote in my headline is from e. e. cummings. I concede that it's not very original to use somebody else's words, but I feel these words, in part, describe my attitude toward life.

Options include rock-guitar and drum camp, with sections for beginners (June 14?17, June 21?24, and July 19?22) and intermediate/advanced students (July 12?15); classical-guitar and hand-drum camp (June 28?July 1); and voice camp, which includes a Taylor Swift week for actual youth or the young at ear (June 14?17) and musical-theater week (July 12?15), featuring music from Glee, Hairspray, and more.

Balmain Ambre Gris Eau de Parfum
Product information
A graphic spirit twisted by a rock and roll touch, Ambre Gris pays tribute to the codes of the Balmain House with its thoughtful blend of sophistication and elegance.
Ambre Gris is a perfume of character. The heat of the spices sets the tempo, which then becomes milder with the sensuality of tuberose. The drydown owes its unique oriental signature to the elegant alchemy of the most beautiful raw materials: myrrh, benzoin, opoponax, tonka bean and incense.
Key fragrance notes: Myrrh, pink pepper, cinnamon, tuberose, ambre gris

The Joyce Theater Dedicates Upcoming PILOBOLUS Season To JONATHAN WOLKEN
The Joyce Theater (Executive Director, Linda Shelton) will dedicate the upcoming Pilobolus season to its founder and co-Artistic Director Jonathan Wolken, who died Sunday, June 13 in NYC from complications from a stem cell transplant. The season commences on July 12, what would have been Wolken's 61st birthday, and runs through August 7. A memorial service for Jonathan Wolken, establishing the Jonathan Wolken Fund for education, will take place at The Joyce Theater on Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 2pm.
The Pilobolus season at The Joyce Theater will include three New York City premieres, including Hitched, the final work created under Wolken's direction: Hapless Hooligan in 'Still Moving', a collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and famed New Yorker cartoonist Art Spiegelman; Contradance, a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning family rocker Dan Zanes.
Speaking of the late Mr. Wolken, Executive Director of The Joyce Theater Linda Shelton said, "Throughout the nearly twenty years that I knew and worked with Jonathan, I always admired his devotion to the company that he co-founded and cherished. All of us at The Joyce are profoundly sad about his death. "
Jonathan thought of himself as much a teacher as he did a maker of dancers. He mentored countless students of diverse backgrounds for almost 40 years-from dancers to lawyers, from business people to school teacher-and inspired courage, knowledge, passion, curiosity, resilience and delight in the creative process. In his honor, Pilobolus has established The Jonathan Wolken Education Fund. This fund will sustain Pilobolus' collaborative education programs for the next 40 years. Donations can be made through the Pilobolus website www.pilobolus.org or checks made out to Pilobolus can be mailed to PO Box 388, Washington Depot, CT 06794. Specify The Wolken Fund.
Jonathan Wolken co-founded Pilobolus in 1971. He was proud to have become acquainted with pilobolus, the fungus, while researching its photoreceptor mechanism in his father's biophysics lab. Mr. Wolken graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in Philosophy. In addition to his work with Pilobolus, he choreographed for the Glyndebourne Festival Opera's production of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. He created Oneiric, which was featured in a jointly produced Pilobolus/Danish Television show, for members of the Royal Danish Ballet. Mr. Wolken was also Artist-in-Residence for the USIS-sponsored Arts America Program in Kuopio, Finland, and for many summers, he taught Pilobolus' Summer Workshops in Maine. To find symmetry and mystery in his work, in 1991 Jonathan built a secret second life as Pilobolus' Development Director, focusing on fundraising for the company. He is survived by his wife, JoAnne, and their four daughters in Washington CT.

I seem to have gotten it to work but I am wondering if I am disabling SLI in the process. I think I have my profiles all screwed up so I am working on learning how the profiles work. Reading up on posts from OWA and SH64 and many others for that matter to try and figure it out so I can ask specific questions in the future.
One thing that does have me confused though....If I set the AA and Af that I want in the global settings how does the game know to use those settings instead of the profile settings for that game? I think I would be just as fine using the global settings each time I want to play instead of working for days trying to get the profiles to work. Thing is though it seems that the profile for the game is overriding the global settings.
Like I said I am still working on it so if I said something that shouldn't happen just bare with me.
Did not mean to get off topic. I thing Dxtweaker is working fine.
Any way to fix the smiley to say Christmas instead of xmas(I hate that btw)

Your potential is limited by one thing you. You only do what you feel like doing . You do what's comfortable. That's why you don't have what you want and your not alone. You guesstimate the mental effort and physical effort and the precieved consequences am I wrong? My point this is possible but not if we stop before we ever really try. Smart Decisions are made with smart actions join the people who think world peace and act on their deeds.
Oct 8 2012: Solidus, This is a worthy task you undertake. You can also say "Your potential is unlimited. You do what you feel like doing." This makes sense to me. If all of us followed our positive whims, we could co-create the peaceful, harmonious world of our highest hopes. Let's do it.

Intous 5 Touch vs non-Touch
I am saving up for Intous 5 and about $200 (USD) short only. But one thing is bothering me. There are two versions available in my region. Intous 5 and Intous 5 touch with about $100 difference in price. I am talking about the medium size tablet.
Are the touch controls worth the price. I have bamboo fun pen and touch and practically have never used the touch but don't know if intous 5 has better touch or just an added feature from Bamboo line up.
Hide this ad by registering as a memberJuly 27th, 2012 #2
what OS are you planning to use it with?..
if windows it maybe is worth purchasing, and afaik intuos touch features are better than bamboo's
if mac os, a separate touchpad will do a better job.
photoshop and painter are touch-aware with the most recent versions, and it's neat, love touch-scrolling through the canvas in PS for example.
I don't do it with tablet though.
keep in mind you'll have to send touch-enabled intuos to wacom to get surface sheet replaced if there's a need for that.
with no-touch model you can do replacement at home, but wacom haven't even rolled replacement sheets out yet.
July 27th, 2012 #3
I love it. Altho I went from an intuos2 to a 5. QUITE A JUMP. But because of the kindle and ipod, it was only natural for me to use the touch features. They are great. But if you don't use them now, save your money.
Also, I don't know if it's my mac, but I haven't had near the trouble others have had with touch.

I am using Windows 7. Probably will stay on windows till I am able to get an iMac. I guess its a good feature if affordable otherwise it doesn't hurt in not having touch at all ( Previous Intous line up ).

WORCESTER, Mass.The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), a world leader in the fight against pediatric AIDS, announced that it will award five grants totaling $1 million to researchers to support the development of a pediatric HIV vaccine.
Shan Lu, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), and colleague Katherine Ruiz De Luzuriaga, MD, professor of pediatrics and director of the division of pediatric immunology, are among the first five recipient teams to receive a Pediatric HIV Vaccine Research Program grant. The UMMS team was chosen from 46 teams that competed for the grants; other awardees include researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital; Childrens Hospital Los Angeles; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; and the University of Colorado Health Science Center.
The EGPAF Pediatric HIV Vaccine Research Program supports basic and pre-clinical research relevant to pediatric HIV vaccine design and development. The program was created after a survey of global HIV vaccine projects found that pediatric issues were virtually absent in the research agenda. With a global network of scientists and a long history of supporting pediatric-focused basic research, the Foundation is well positioned to address this gap.
One potentially promising way to reduce the spread of HIV is through a preventive vaccine that will protect all peopleincluding infantsfrom the virus. Vaccines have reduced many common childhood infections by up to 99 percent in the developed world, and may be the single, most effective public health measure. A vaccine that protects infants against HIV transmission through breast-feeding could set the stage for lifetime immunity. If a vaccine succeeds, millions of children could get life-long protection and be part of the first HIV-free generation.
Our awardees are remarkably talented scientists, and their projects will provide critical data that may le

text: Kuala Lumpur: CIMB Group today announced that it has received approval from the Minister of Finance, Thailand for its purchase of a 42.13% stake in BankThai Public Company Ltd. The approval was given in a letter dated 9 October 2008, and paves the way for CIMB Group to emerge as the single largest shareholder in BankThai. The acquisition is now pending approval of Thailand's Ministry of Commerce. "We are pleased to receive this approval from the Thai authorities," said Dato' Sri Nazir Razak, Group Chief Executive, CIMB Group. "We look forward to completing the purchase soon and enabling BankThai to start growing again," he said. In June this year, CIMB Group entered into a share purchase agreement with Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) to acquire the latter's 42.13% stake in BankThai for a cash consideration of THB5.905 billion (RM577.4 million). On completion of the purchase, CIMB Group plans to launch a mandatory general offer (MGO) for the remaining shares it does not own and initiate a capital restructuring exercise of the bank. Assuming full acceptance of the MGO and a recapitalisation cost of RM500 to 600 million, CIMB Group's total costs for the transaction would rise from RM577.4 million to approximately RM1.9 billion. BankThai is the ninth largest commercial bank in Thailand in terms of total assets and has 147 branches across Thailand. It also has subsidiary businesses in stockbroking, insurance and asset management. BankThai has a solid deposit and lending business and operating base of SME and retail customers. Its recent financial performance has been weakened by write-downs and lending constraints arising from investment losses in foreign collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) last year. These CDOs were written down and sold in the 3rd quarter of 2008 but the bank has remained relatively inactive due to capital constraints. "The fact that this is a banking turnaround situation has enabled us to acquire a precious controlling stake and limits our downside risk," added Nazir. CIMB Group earlier estimated that, post-MGO and recapitalisation, its acquisition cost is equivalent to approximately 2.3 times Bank Thai's adjusted book value. "This acquisition is the 'final jigsaw piece' for our regionalisation agenda. And we remain comfortable with our acquisition price and turnaround plans despite the global financial crisis as we have always regarded this as a long term strategic move," concluded Nazir. The share purchase has already received approval from Bank Negara Malaysia and is expected to complete by the end of this year.

Summer officially arrives when the daredevil water skiers of Badgerland Water Ski Show Team perform their first strap double in the Fox River. And that day is Monday, Memorial Day, at 7 p.m. The team ranked fifth in the state last year and has been performing in many sites in Waukesha's lake country since 1983. This year it will perform Wednesday nights on the Fox River, adjacent to Frame Park in Waukesha, and monthly on Thursdays on Fowler Lake in Oconomowoc. The shows start at 7 p.m., moving to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 14 through Labor Day. They are free, but donations are welcome.
One brick at a time
In 1849, a small band of six women and five men immigrated to Milwaukee at the request of the city's Archbishop J. Martin Henni to act as missionaries. One of the tasks the women performed here was to make the bricks used to build their first seminary. They became the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. On Saturday at 10 a.m. neighbors, friends and some Milwaukee civic leaders will gather to make bricks as these women did 164 years ago out of clay, straw, sand and water. The commemoration will be held at Troubadour, behind the Marian Center, 3211 S. Lake Drive, St. Francis. The public is invited to this free event; more information can be found at the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi's Facebook page.

Visitors can expect to see everything from architectural furbelows to bejeweled baubles. The flea market will be open Saturdays through August from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature music and food and the promise of fun.

percent) of suicides by alcoholics as compared to 22 and 59 percent, respectively, among suicides by persons with mood or anxiety disorders.
Hopelessness significantly predicted suicidal ideation more accurately than depression in alcoholics, as well as non-alcoholics (Beck et al., 1982). Alcohol has an effect on depression as well. Large doses of alcohol over time are associated with depressive activity (Mirin and Weiss, 1986; Tamerin and Mendelson, 1969). Some suggest that depression is secondary to the effects of heavy and chronic alcohol consumption, since depression wanes with withdrawal (Flavin et al., 1990; Nakamura et al., 1983). However, drinking can also begin as a reaction to depression.
Estimating the prevalence of suicide among those with alcohol use disorders is difficult because the data come from studies using varying approaches (retro- and prospective, and population studies) as well as highly variable follow-up periods. Harris and Barraclough (1997) found in their meta-analysis of 32 studies that alcohol-dependence and abuse increased suicide risk almost 6-fold. Murphy (1992) estimates that in a year, 25 percent of all suicides (approximately 7600 of 30,400) in the United States are of individuals with alcohol use disorders, and that these individuals have 115 times the risk of suicide compared to a psychiatrically healthy population. Lifetime risk of suicide has been estimated at 3.4 percent for those with severe alcohol abuse disorders requiring hospitalization (Murphy, 1992). Alcohol dependent individuals who complete suicide are most frequently male, white, middle-aged, unmarried, with hospitalization in the past year, and with a history of previous attempts (Roy and Linnoila, 1986). Yet alcohol-dependent females have a 20- to 30-fold greater risk of completing suicide than non-clinical female populations (Harris and Barraclough, 1997; Medhus, 1975).
Severity and time-course of the alcohol use disorder are associated with suicide risk. In a mortality study of 8060 individuals matched for age, sex, race, and cigarette smoking, the effects of alcohol intake were examined on a variety of causes of death over 10 years (Klatsky et al., 1981). Suicide accounted for 3.5 percent of all the deaths, and the heaviest drinkers, those consuming 6+ drinks daily, accounted for almost half of the suicides. Merrill and colleagues (1992) in England found increased alcohol consumption associated with increased rates of suicide attempt for males and females. The risk of suicide is highest in the late stages of chronic alcohol abuse, and is associated with similar high risk events and psychiatric symptoms found among non-alcoholic individuals (Kendall, 1983).

This fascination near-Gem has eye appeal in spades, with flashy lemon-gold fields that show elements of orange and honey at the reverse margins. The obverse has excellent detail for the issue, and a touch of softness on the eagle's wing and leg is of little concern. A faint mark on Liberty's cheek and minor, scattered flaws account for the grade.

Problems continue to circulate at the roundabout on Northeast 32nd Circle in Vancouver's Parkside Neighborhood.
At about 11:30 p.m. Thursday night, a silver car sped through the roundabout, crashed through a concrete-anchored metal post and took out a wooden fence in Jerry Sutherland's front yard.
The car then sped away, leaving part of its bumper behind.
"It was a hit-and-run," Sutherland said. "This traffic circle, what it looks like to me is they made us vulnerable to being crashed into."
The roundabout is one of three in the city of Vancouver's Northeast 137th/138th Avenue Improvement Project. It is by far the most complained-about.
There were no witnesses to the accident, but several residents heard the impact and then saw a silver vehicle leaving south on 137th Avenue, said Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp.
Dan Swensen, a design and construction engineering manager at Vancouver Public Works, said the issue is one for the police and not the department.
"This was an accident," Swensen said. "It's not related to construction. We'll let the police investigate and they'll determine the cause."
Sutherland, who has lived in his home since 2001, said the road was much farther away from his house before the project began. Now, the circle brings traffic to within about 15 feet of its walls. And the set of metal posts the city installed to protect the home don't make him feel particularly safe, he said.
"We feel really vulnerable right here," Sutherland said. "It's too close to the road. People speed all the time. I've seen them go 50 miles an hour. They jump the curbs. Not too long ago, a pickup truck got stuck in the center and the driver was arrested for drunk driving."
People also don't seem to yield to traffic in the roundabout; rather, they blast through and hit the curbs way too fast, he said.
Across the street from Sutherland, also next to the roundabout, Kathy Gill said she constantly worries about her children walking near the front of her house.
"My kids, they have to walk to school every day, and I won't let them walk alone," she said of her 12-year-old and 7-year-old.
"And I have a grandbaby coming, and I don't know what I'm going to do then."
Her 19-year-old is about to give birth to Gill's first grandchild, and she doesn't want to think about what might happen if a toddler got out into her front yard, she said.
The lights around the roundabout also blast into her home at night, making it difficult to sleep, she said.
"It's kind of annoying; there's what, six lights right there?" Gill said, making a quick tally.
Looking over at the wreckage in Sutherland's yard, she shook her head.
"Oh, my gosh," Gill said. "I can't believe that."
Before the roundabout went in, the dead-end streets on either side of the intersection were much more quiet, she added.
"It's sad, because we live in a cul-de-sac, and those are supposed to be safer," Gill said. "But there's no way I'd let my kids out front. It's too dangerous."
Columbian reporter Emily Gillespie contributed to this story.

Hot Gossip
Kristen Stewart Grumpily Exits Toronto in Rob's Grubby Hat
By Kat Giantis
Kristen Stewart put on a reasonably happy face (for her) last week as she made her first post-cheating scandal appearance to promote "On the Road" at the Toronto International Film Festival. But behind the scenes, she was apparently her usual prickly self.
While jetting out of town on Sunday, K.Stew, flashing a splint on her oft-used middle finger, allegedly told a bodyguard assigned to escort her through the airport, "Don't [bleeping] touch me, dude."
Presumably, he didn't point out to her that she might have drawn a bit less attention had she opted not to wear a stomach-baring white tank top, black bra and, most notably, Robert Pattinson's sweat-stained baseball cap.
For those keeping track, that's the same Baltimore Orioles hat the actress sported on Aug. 20, when she stepped out in public for the first time since being captured two-timing Rob with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.
During a press conference at TIFF, Stewart, 22, insisted that everything was "totally fine" with Pattinson, 26, although neither has commented on the exact status of their former live-in relationship.
But she sure does like to wear his clothes. Kristen arrived at the film festival in Rob's IRIE T-shirt and unwisely donned another of his baseball hats during her caught-on-camera rendezvous with Sanders.
Speaking of her Mini Cooper-set canoodling with the filmmaker, it seems three weeks before those photos were snapped, she dropped a squick-inducing bomb during an interview with Vogue UK. Click on for the details …

Exceptional state of preservation - retaining original brasses and untouched feet; only the desk is being offered in this listing, the chair shown to give a sense of scale
Item # 110105PII25
This is a remarkably well preserved English Georgian Mahogany Kneehole Desk from the third quarter of the 18th century. It is crafted of well figured solid single boards of Mahogany on the top and sides - there is no veneer on this desk, just solid boards of full grain mahogany. A simply molded edge runs the perimeter of the top, each corner scalloped. Each drawer is hand dovetailed front and back, with thin oak frame construction and thin oak drawer bottoms - all drawers are fully original and lack any adjustments and restorations to the secondary construction.
Glowing hand forged brass hardware adorns each drawer, appearing to have never been removed from the piece. Inside each drawer, as well as the tiny door in the kneehole area, silver metal locks are secured and functional. Each lock appears to be original, each uniquely cut on the right hand corner for all small drawers - it would appear the craftsman was presented with the challenge of making the lock of his choice fit the small space in conjunction with the pull hardware, and overcame this but cutting the corners of each lock. Hand made screws are visible throughout the lock hardware. While we cannot say for certain if the key is original, it is of the period, hand made and very similar in metal color to that of the locks. Each drawer is lip-molded and slides flawlessly in and out of the desk.
Just below the top drawer is a secret drawer compartment, appearing to be part of the frame design, but actually pulls outward smoothly as an extra hand dovetailed drawer. The wide top drawer pulls out to reveal a full dust shelf, protecting drawers below from saw dust and other debris as it opens and closes. The first few inches are solid mahogany, through which the inner boards of the desk tenon through, joining the frame permanently and invisibly. A small prospect door opens in the knee hole on original brass hinges secured with original hand cut screws to reveal a compartment divided by a single oak shelf.
The desk rests over bracket feet, each entirely original with all original blocking as well. When looking at the desk from the underside, the unfinished hand craftmanship is left undisturbed. Some of the feet have been resecured with screws from the underside, noted in the photos, though the feet themselves have been preserved. The underside is secured to the case with rose head nails are driven into the mahogany side boards above. The back of the desk is lined with several thin oak boards, each with grains running perpendicular to the base, tacked with tiny brads and nearly black with oxidization. Later nails secure these backboards, probably readjusted for shrinking along the grains.
This is an incredible find, quite rare in this condition and with this outstanding color and patination. With almost every aspect of the desk maintained with full originality and no adjustments, this is an acquisition for the serious collector and home decorator alike. It's petite dimensions and stunning visual appeal make it suitable for any formal setting, with a very broad array of design purposes it can aptly fill: it is the perfect width to rest between two windows in a small room as a strikepoint piece in a living area, a wonderful bedroom chest of drawers with desk functionality and as a small desk in a study. This is a special piece you and your family will certainly cherish for generations to come.
Identical example (though with inferior replaced brasses) sold at Wilkinson's Auctioneers, Doncaster, UK (April 27th, 2014, lot 739) for $4,740 inc. premium
See British Antique Furniture, John Andrews, 1989, p. 236 for an identical example - valuation of 6,000-8,000 GBP
Measurements: 30 1/4" wide x 19 3/16" deep x 30 3/4" high
Condition Report: Finish very attractive, probably refinished in the last century with a nice polished finish. Minor scratches typical with any antique piece, more around the feet and corners; typical blemishes from regular wear and use. Original hardware, hinges, feet - the key may not be original: we believe the locks are original, but these too could be early replacements of perfect fit. Repairs here and there, including some minor patching to the mahogany, all done quite well - several drawer lips repaired, minor repairs to corners, back bracket feet resecured with modern screws. Left lowest drawer lip has a little crack in the top edge of the lip.
