SON: Sony Corporation: Financial Targets of the Entertainment Businesses UK Regulatory Announcement TOKYO Sony Corporation November 21, 2013 Financial Targets of the Entertainment Businesses (Culver City, CA – November 21, 2013) - At the Entertainment Investor Day held on November 21, 2013, Sony Corporation ("Sony") announced financial targets for its Pictures and Music segments for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, and growth rate targets for the period through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, as set out in the table below. *Financial targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 Sales^1 8.4 billion U.S. dollars Pictures Operating income margin before "Depreciation and segment amortization^2" 9.0% and "Restructuring charges"^3 Operating income margin 7.5% Sales^1 4.8 billion U.S. dollars Music Operating income margin before "Depreciation and segment amortization^2" 13.0% and "Restructuring charges"^3 Operating income margin 9.5% *Growth rate targets for the period through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 (compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") targets based on the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013) Segment Sales^1 CAGR low to mid-single digit - Motion Pictures category sales CAGR flat to slightly down - Television Productions category sales mid to high single digit CAGR Pictures - Media Networks category sales CAGR low to mid teens segment Operating income before "Depreciation and amortization^2" high single digit and "Restructuring charges"^3 CAGR high single digit to Operating income CAGR low double digit Segment Sales^1 CAGR flat to slightly up - Recorded Music category sales CAGR essentially flat - Music Publishing category sales CAGR low single digit Music - Visual Media and Platform category flat to slightly up segment sales CAGR Operating income before "Depreciation and amortization^2" mid single digit and "Restructuring charges"^3 CAGR Operating income CAGR mid to high single digit The U.S. dollar targets in the Pictures segment are consistent with the U.S. dollar figures that Sony Pictures Entertainment consolidates from its global operations prior to reporting them to Sony Corporation in Tokyo, where they are converted into yen. The U.S. dollar targets in the Music segment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 are derived by converting the yen target for the segment into U.S. dollars at a rate of \100 = U.S. $1, which is the foreign currency exchange rate since the second quarter of the current fiscal year that Sony assumed for Sony's consolidated forecast of the current fiscal year. Targeted CAGR for sales, operating income before depreciation and amortization and restructuring charges, and operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 are based on the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and are derived by converting Sony Music Entertainment Japan's yen target for each line item into U.S. dollars at \83.10 = U.S. $1 (the weighted average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013) and adding the product to Sony Music Entertainment and Sony / ATV Music Publishing's U.S. dollar target for each line item. ^1 Includes operating revenue and intersegment sales ^2 "Depreciation and amortization" excludes amortization of film costs. ^3 Operating income before "Depreciation and amortization" and "Restructuring charges" is not a measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Sony does not believe that this measure is a substitute for operating income in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, Sony believes that this supplemental disclosure for the Pictures and Music segments may provide additional useful analytical information to investors. Sony also announced that it is in the process of implementing approximately 250 million U.S. dollars in overhead and procurement savings in its Pictures segment, which are expected to be fully implemented by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. Cautionary Statement Statements made in this release with respect to Sony's current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements about the future performance of Sony. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those statements using words such as "believe," "expect," "plans," "strategy," "prospects," "forecast," "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "aim," "intend," "seek," "may," "might," "could" or "should," and words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operations, financial performance, events or conditions. From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements may also be included in other materials released to the public. These statements are based on management's assumptions, judgments and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it. Sony cautions investors that a number of important risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on them. Investors also should not rely on any obligation of Sony to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Sony disclaims any such obligation. Risks and uncertainties that might affect Sony include, but are not limited to: the global economic environment in which Sony operates and the (i) economic conditions in Sony's markets, particularly levels of consumer spending; foreign exchange rates, particularly between the yen and the U.S. (ii) dollar, the euro and other currencies in which Sony makes significant sales and incurs production costs, or in which Sony's assets and liabilities are denominated; Sony's ability to continue to design and develop and win acceptance of, as well as achieve sufficient cost reductions for, its products and services, including televisions, game platforms and smartphones, (iii) which are offered in highly competitive markets characterized by severe price competition and continual new product and service introductions, rapid development in technology and subjective and changing consumer preferences; (iv) Sony's ability and timing to recoup large-scale investments required for technology development and production capacity; (v) Sony's ability to implement successful business restructuring and transformation efforts under changing market conditions; Sony's ability to implement successful hardware, software, and content integration strategies for all segments excluding the (vi) Financial Services segment, and to develop and implement successful sales and distribution strategies in light of the Internet and other technological developments; Sony's continued ability to devote sufficient resources to research (vii) and development and, with respect to capital expenditures, to prioritize investments correctly (particularly in the electronics businesses); (viii) Sony's ability to maintain product quality; the effectiveness of Sony's strategies and their execution, including (ix) but not limited to the success of Sony's acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investments; (x) Sony's ability to forecast demands, manage timely procurement and control inventories; (xi) the outcome of pending and/or future legal and/or regulatory proceedings; shifts in customer demand for financial services such as life (xii) insurance and Sony's ability to conduct successful asset liability management in the Financial Services segment; the impact of unfavorable conditions or developments (including (xiii) market fluctuations or volatility) in the Japanese equity markets on the revenue and operating income of the Financial Services segment; and (xiv) risks related to catastrophic disasters or similar events.

Pekka Rinne appears ready for the regular season.
Rinne played the full 60 minutes and stopped all 22 shots he faced as the Nashville Predators earned a 3-0 win against the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center on Sunday. Nashville, which won four of its six preseason games, opens the regular season on Saturday night against Anaheim at Bridgestone Arena.
Joel Ward scored twice and Cal O'Reilly had a goal and an assist for the Predators, who were the only team to defeat the Caps this preseason (5-1-0).
"I'm never happy when we lose," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said. "You never want to give them an excuse, but at the same time we're in training camp and it's probably a good thing we got ours today. It's one game, and I think all the guys are glad [preseason is] over."
The Predators took a 1-0 lead with 8:02 left in the second period when O'Reilly controlled a loose puck in front and flipped a shot past goalie Dany Sabourin.
Ward made it 2-0 on a shorthanded goal with 12:18 remaining after the puck hopped over the stick of Caps defenseman Mike Green at the right point, which led to a breakaway. He made it 3-0 with 7:27 left by beating Sabourin with a quick shot from in front.
Sabourin came on with 9:57 left in the second period after Michal Neuvirth stopped all 13 shots he faced. Washington coach Bruce Boudreau told fans on Saturday that Neuvrith would start the opener, but later added he could change his mind. The Capitals' regular season begins on Friday night at Atlanta.
Penguins 5, Red Wings 2
Mike Comrie scored twice and Evgeni Malkin had a goal and three assists as Pittsburgh cruised past Detroit at Joe Louis Arena in the final exhibition game for each team.
Chris Kunitz and Alex Goligoski each added a goal and an assist for Pittsburgh, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves.
"I thought they were better and quicker and worked harder," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "In the end, I thought the result was real fair. The big thing is exhibition's over for us. We know we have a pretty good lineup. Obviously, we've got to play a lot better and a lot harder."
Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist and Mike Modano also scored for Detroit. Chris Osgood stopped 20 shots.
"Losing the last game (of the preseason) is always tough," Osgood said. "In games like that, it's just bounces. We didn't get any tonight. On the flip side, we're trying to play our structure and play good 'D.' For the most part, we did that. I think, overall, we're ready."
Sabres 9, Flyers 3
Drew Stafford had a goal and three assists as Buffalo scored eight straight times in a win against Philadelphia at HSBC Arena.
The nine goals were the most scored by one team during the preseason.
Buffalo's Derek Roy scored two goals and added an assist. Jason Pominville added a goal and two assists while Jochen Hecht, Tyler Ennis and Tyler Myers each added a goal and an assist.
The Flyers went up 2-0 with goals by Dan Carcillo and Matt Walker before Buffalo's Cody McCormick started the streak when he scored from the slot at 13:02. Roy tied it 45 seconds later with a wrist shot high to Johan Backlund's stick side, and Nathan Gerbe scored at 17:22 on a power play. Myers gave Buffalo its fourth consecutive goal when he took a drop pass from Pominville, made a move on a defenseman and his wrist shot beat Backlund stick side at 5:46.
Roy scored his second on a rebound at 6:53, and Pominville made it 6-2 when he converted a pass from Tim Connolly into an open shot on the right side of the net at 9:01. Ennis scored 41 seconds later when he took a cross-ice pass from Roy and found the net, beating Backlund high on the glove side. Stafford then made it 8-2 when he split the Flyers' defense at 18:14.
"I like our team a lot," Connolly said. "We're a young team, but we've got some older guys in the room and some good leadership. I think we've got a lot of depth. We've got a lot of guys that can play a lot of different positions. I like the way things are shaping out."
Philadelphia's Mike Testwuide snapped the streak with a goal 49 seconds into the third period, while Hecht's goal at 4:40 completed the scoring.
Buffalo finished the preseason 4-2, while Philadelphia went 5-2-1.
Flames 1, Oilers 0
Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves and Alex Tanguay scored the lone goal as the Flames blanked Edmonton at Pengrowth Saddledome and finished up exhibition play a perfect 7-0.
Calgary is the lone NHL team to finish the preseason without a loss. Edmonton ended up 4-2.
"We came in with the mindset the first day of camp that this is the way we want to be with our practice habits and the way we want to do things," Flames coach Brent Sutter said. "We've done a lot of good things through camp. I know the games are meaningless as far as points and stuff, but they weren't for us as far as other things involved with it. You go 7-0, that's a pretty good exhibition record, but now the games are going to go up tenfold."
The only goal came 5:36 into the first period as the Flames' top line of Jarome Iginla, Olli Jokinen and Tanguay connected on a power play.
Kiprusoff's best stop came four minutes into the third period. The 33-year-old veteran sprawled across the crease as he followed Jordan Eberle, then acrobatically kicked up his top pad to knock away Eberle's shot as it looked like it was going in.
The teams will open up the regular season against each other on Thursday night in Edmonton.
Ducks 3, Kings 2, OT
Teemu Selanne scored a power-play goal on a pass from Ryan Getzlaf with 3:57 left in overtime, as Anaheim beat Los Angeles in both clubs' exhibition finales at the Honda Center.
Justin Williams and Jack Johnson scored in the final 4:10 of regulation for the Kings, but Selanne beat Jonathan Bernier for his first goal of the preseason after Los Angeles took a bench minor for too many men on the ice.
Getzlaf scored while wearing the captain's "C" for the first time, and Corey Perry got his fifth goal of the preseason for the Ducks.
"We have a little work to do," said Getzlaf, who was officially named captain after the game. "We've done a good job progressing throughout the preseason. We're well aware that we're not going to be a team that is going to blow teams out every night. We're going to go out and work. We're going to have to win those one-goal games, those overtime games. That is the way it's going to be all year. We have to accept that right off the hop and get ready to go."
Jonas Hiller made 41 saves in the Swiss goalie's fourth appearance of the preseason. Bernier stopped 18 shots for the Kings in his first game since officially earning Los Angeles' backup job.
Anaheim finished the preseason at 3-4-0.

A recent London Times story started off by saying that "Denver has little reason to exist, and that may be why its inhabitants excel at superlatives."
I'm not sure what they mean by that. But I do know that the Mile High City, Home of the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos with 300 Days of Almost-No-Humidity Rocky Mountain High Sunshine Every Year, is going to host the most amazing Democratic National Convention in the history of all time.
Not to jinx any candidate, but around here we're hoping for a lengthy brokered convention, something that will keep Denver in the media spotlight for days on end. We want the world's journalists here so long that they'll be filling newsholes between speeches with slice-of-life stories on every cool thing in the whole metro area.
Heck, there's even a good chance we Denverites might learn something about our town that we didn't know. I doubt it though, because we are the nation's most educated city with the highest quality of life, as evidenced by the fact that we've still got two morning newspapers. And even though we brew the most beer in the nation, our inhabitants are also the thinnest. You'll enjoy watching us go to and fro.
A local booster told me that the difference between Democratic and Republican conventions is that with the Republicans, the crazies are outside the building. With the Democrats they're inside taking part. Funny. But we hope all you conservatives from Colorado Springs and Dallas, and all you liberals from Boulder and Berkeley will be out and about, hosting big photogenic protests while enjoying the Nation's Most Livable Community. We want you buying felt cowboy hats and cheeseburgers and making plans to move your corporation's high-paying jobs here. Even if you're from Boston, we want you to have a marvelous time.
It's going to be super.

Yes, all that part is clear. I've got the firewall piece cut to clear the pedal assembly, and glued in place. My concern was more related to how far up the footwell carpets comes, and how that affects the throttle pedal.

Fit and installation would depend entirely on how the carpet set has been cut. Most I've fitted have a full firewall section that extends right up the underside of the front parcel tray. The throttle pedal needs to be removed as well as the heater if you have one fitted. If the carpet is not cut to clear the pedal bracket all you need to do is cut two vertical slits to line up with the vertical stays of the bracket. Then the carpet will slip up either side of the bracket and have a flap that flips up to cover inbetween if that makes sense. Poke two small holes for the pedal studs then bolt the pedal on over the carpet.

I've started installing the front carpet in my Mk.1, and I wanted to find out how I'm supposed to deal with the throttle pedal. The carpet kprettying pretty high quality set that a friend got from Se7en about 10-12 years ago. There is a piece that glues to the firewall, and then the front footwell section lies in, and overlaps that piece by quite a bit.
I'm assuming I should glue the carpet to the firewall, then bolt the throttle pedal on top of that piece, correct? My concern is how high up the footwell carpets will come up. Should they come right up to (but not past) the throttle pedal bracket?
if the footwell carpets come up past the pedal bracket, then that would make its installation quite a bit more difficult.

I was very happy the other day when I opened my door and saw a box. My Zero Water Pitcher was here! And if you are unsure what this is, it is an Ion Exchange water filtration system that removes all dissolved solids from tap water. (I received this ZeroWater pitcher to facilitate my review – but all opinions and verbiage written in this post are mine)
ZeroWater filters are the only filters that meet FDA definition for TDS(total dissolved solids) in purified bottled water. This means you get bottled water quality and taste right from your own pitcher instead of buying it from the store. It's sort of yucky to think I am drinking stuff in my water that isn't visible to the naked eye. But the ZeroWater pitcher removes all this and leaves me with pure water. That is a good feeling!
There is also a TDS checker. I tested my tap water and my TDS was at 0.56. I then ran this water through the filtered pitcher and tested it again.
It was 0.00. So the filter definitely does what it is supposed to do.
If this interests you, you can read more about this system at http://www.zerowater.com/. ZeroWater is also offering you a 30% off coupon. The code is MC30.
Oh and have you ever made your own flavored water?
I found a few pointers on how to do this at the following websites. It makes me want to do this NOW.
DAMYhealth has some interesting ideas on how to flavor your own water.
Wisebread - Eight natural ways to Make water more flavorful
Hope you all have a great Friday! It's going to be a good one here at our farm as we enjoy our new Alpaca baby!

News and notes on health, medicine and fitness
CDC reports more women are breastfeeding
A report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that more mothers are breastfeeding and they're doing so for longer.
The report found that between 2000 and 2008, the amount of mothers who started breastfeeding rose 4 percentage points. During the same period the number of mothers still breastfeeding at six months rose from 35% to nearly 45%.
There was more good news when it came to the persistent gap in breastfeeding between white and African-American mothers. The gap has closed from 24 percentage points to 16 percentage points.
"Breastfeeding is good for the mother and for the infant -- and the striking news here is, hundreds of thousands more babies are being breastfed than in past years, and this increase has been seen across most racial and ethnic groups," said CDC Director Tom Frieden.
Frieden added: "Despite these increases, many mothers who want to breast feed are still not getting the support they need from hospitals, doctors or employers. We must redouble our efforts to support mothers who want to breastfeed."

Hey ya'll! These little bursts of indigo-flavored joy are all wrapped up in moist, cakey goodness topped with crunchy, crumbly bits. And even though we are one of those families, I promise no one will ever suspect you didn't use grains or refined sugar. Blueberry bliss, guaranteed.
Want the recipe? I am sharing it over at Nourished Kitchen today. Go check it out!

So glad to see no refined sugar. Can't wait to try the blueberry bliss Thank you.
[…] Here's the recipe courtesy of Heather Dessinger (get the original recipe here) […]
I just made these muffins. Yum!!
Can't wait to try these! They look just like my gluten-loaded version
Hi Heather! I can't wait to try this recipe! I just made your spiced banana walnut muffins yesterday and they are SO delicious!! Of all the blogs I read yours is by far my favorite. Your posts always make me laugh and the recipes are amazing. You have helped me so much on my journey into traditional foods for my family (husband and 1 year old son). I can't thank you enough. I look forward to trying many more recipes and I love your e-book nourished baby. I found it just as my son was starting solids, and he has had no grains/cereals, just all whole foods including liver and egg yolks as first foods. He is a happy and healthy robust baby boy. Thanks again!!!
I just made these! I altered the recipe slightly, due to my fear of making hockey pucks like one reviewer said she ended up with, I added 1/4 cup melted unsalted pastured butter. I mixed it with the dry ingredients before adding the wet stuff. I also added 1 ridiculously over ripe banana that I didn't want to throw away. The result was a fantastic banana-blueberry bread. I made one mini birthday cake and 6 muffins since I had more batter than my muffin tin could handle. I will definitely make this again. My discriminating 16 month old gobbled it up!
These look super tasty. Blueberry muffins are one of my faaaaves… baking season is upon us!

Heather, I appreciate your website so much. I just tried the blueberry muffin recipe, and it turned out great. I don't always have good results with some of the other sites, but your recipes always do well for me. Thanks! And I love your method of making bone broth in the crock pot.

Brick Gothic
Brick Gothic (German: Backsteingotik, Polish: Gotyk ceglany) is a specific style of Gothic architecture common in Northern Europe, especially in Northern Germany and the regions around the Baltic Sea, which do not have natural stone resources. The buildings are essentially built using bricks.
Brick Gothic buildings are found in Belarus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.
As the use of baked red brick in Northern Europe dates from the 12th century, the oldest such buildings are classified as the Brick Romanesque. In the 16th century, Brick Gothic was superseded by Brick Renaissance architecture.
Brick Gothic is characterised by the lack of figural architectural sculpture, widespread in other styles of Gothic architecture; and by its creative subdivision and structuring of walls, using built ornaments and the colour contrast between red bricks, glazed bricks and white lime plaster.
Many of the old town centres dominated by Brick Gothic, as well as some individual structures, have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Brick architecture is found primarily in areas that lack sufficient natural supplies of building stone. This is the case across the Northern European Lowlands. Since the German part of that region (the Northern German Plain, except Westphalia and the Rhineland) is largely concurrent with the area influenced by the Hanseatic League, Brick Gothic has become a symbol of that powerful alliance of cities. Along with the Low German Language, it forms a major defining element of the Northern German cultural area, especially in regard to late city foundations and the areas of colonisation north and east of the Elbe. In the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, that cultural area extended throughout the southern part of the Baltic region and had a major influence on Scandinavia. The southernmost Brick Gothic structure in Germany is the Bergkirche (mountain church) of Altenburg in Thuringia.
In the northwest, especially along Weser and Elbe, sandstone from the mountains of Central Germany could be transported with relative ease. This resulted in a synthesis of the styles from east of the Elbe with the architectural traditions of the Rhineland. Here, bricks were mainly used for wall areas, while sandstone was employed for plastic detail. Since the brick has no aesthetic function per se in this style, most of the northwest German structures are not part of Brick Gothic proper.
The lack of available stone did not necessarily lead to the development of distinctive brick architecture. For example, some areas in Southern Germany, such as Upper Bavaria or Upper Swabia also lacked building materials, but the artisans did not create typical brick-based styles. Instead, they clad brick cores with stone ashlar, and added architectural sculpture of worked stone. Examples include St. Martin's Church at Landshut and the Frauenkirche of Munich.
Brick Gothic in Poland[edit]
Brick Gothic in Poland is sometimes described as belonging to the Polish Gothic style. Though, the vast majority of Gothic buildings within the borders of modern Poland are brick-built, the term also encompasses non-brick Gothic structures, such as the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, which is mostly stone-built. The principle characteristic of the Polish Gothic style is its limited use of stone work to complement the main brick construction. Stone was primarily utilized for window and door frames, arched columns, ribbed vaults, foundations and ornamentation, while brick remained the core building material used to erect walls and cap ceilings. This limited use of stone, as a supplementary building material, was most prevalent in Lesser Poland and was made possible by an abundance of limestone in the region.
Historical conditions[edit]
In the course of the medieval German eastward expansion, Slavic areas east of the Elbe were settled by traders and colonists from the overpopulated Northwest of Germany in the 12th and 13th centuries. In 1158, Henry the Lion founded Lübeck, in 1160 he conquered the Slavic principality of Schwerin. This partially violent colonisation was accompanied by the Christianisation of the Slavs and the foundation of dioceses at Ratzeburg, Schwerin, Cammin, Brandenburg and elsewhere.
The newly founded cities soon joined the Hanseatic League and formed the "Wendic Circle", with its centre at Lübeck, and the "Gotland-Livland Circle", with its main centre at Tallinn (Reval). The affluent trading cities of the Hansa were characterised especially by religious and profane representative architecture, such as council or parish churches, town halls, Bürgerhäuser, i.e. the private dwellings of rich traders, or city gates. In rural areas, the monastic architecture of monks' orders had a major influence on the development of brick architecture, especially through the Cistercians and Premonstratensians. Between Prussia and Estonia, the Teutonic Knights secured their rule by erecting numerous Ordensburgen (castles), most of which were also brick-built.
Brick architecture became prevalent in the 12th century, still within the Romanesque architecture period. Wooden architecture had long dominated in northern Germany but was inadequate for the construction of monumental structures. Throughout the area of Brick Gothic, half-timbered architecture remained typical for smaller buildings, especially in rural areas, well into modern times.
In the areas dominated by the Welfs, the use of brick to replace natural stone began with cathedrals and parish churches at Oldenburg (Holstein), Segeberg, Ratzeburg, and Lübeck. Henry the Lion laid the foundation stone of the Cathedral in 1173.
In the Margraviate of Brandenburg, the lack of natural stone and the distance to the Baltic Sea (which, like the rivers, could be used for transporting heavy loads) made the need for alternative materials more pressing. Brick architecture here started with the Cathedral of Brandenburg, begun in 1165 under Albert the Bear. Jerichow Monastery ( then a part of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg ), with construction started as early as 1148, plays a key role regarding Brick Gothic in Brandenburg.
Characteristics of Brick Gothic[edit]
Romanesque brick architecture remained closely connected with contemporary stone architecture and simply translated the latter's style and repertoire into the new material. In contrast, Brick Gothic developed its own typical style, characterised by the reduction in available materials: the buildings were often bulky and of monumental size, but rather simple as regards their external appearance, lacking the delicacy of areas further south. Nonetheless, they were strongly influenced by the cathedrals of France and by the gothique tournaisien or Schelde Gothic of the County of Flanders.
Later, techniques that led to a more elaborate structuring of the churches became prevalent: recessed wall areas were often painted with lime plaster, creating a marked contrast to the darker brick-built areas. Furthermore, special shaped bricks were produced to facilitate the imitation of architectural sculpture.
Brick as the basic material[edit]
Since the bricks used were made of clay, available in copious quantities in the Northern German Plain, they quickly became the normal replacement for building stone. The so-called monastic format became the standard for bricks used in representative buildings. Its bricks measure circa 28 x 15 x 9 cm to 30 x 14 x 10 cm, with interstices of about 1.5 cm. In contrast to hewn-stone Gothic, the bricks and shaped bricks were not produced locally by lodges (Bauhütten), but by specialised enterprises off-site.
Glazed brick
19th century Gothic Revival—Neogothic[edit]
In the 19th century, the Gothic Revival—Neogothic style led to a revival of Brick Gothic designs. 19th-century Brick Gothic "Revival" churches can be found throughout Northern Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Lithuania, Finland, Russia, Britain and the United States.
Important architects of this style included Friedrich August Stüler in Berlin and Simon Loschen in Bremen. Although the style became popular especially from the 1860s onwards, one of the best known examples was completed in 1831, Friedrichswerder Church in Berlin by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. St Chad's Cathedral, Birmingham (1841) is another early example, by Augustus Pugin. The 1880 Saint Mary of the Assumption Church complex, Brookline, Massachusetts is an example in the United States and St. Joseph's Church in Kraków, Poland is a late example of the revival style.

Six Filipino workers injured or killed in an explosion on an oil platform off the coast of Louisiana last week were working for a Louisiana company accused in a federal lawsuit of human trafficking and extensive labor violations in its treatment of foreign workers.
The workers, one of whom died in the blast and another who is missing, were among 14 employees and subcontractors working for Grand Isle Shipyard on a rig owned by Houston-based Black Elk Energy, which has an office in Broussard in Lafayette Parish.

Cleaning up entire town discussed by Blawnox officials
Some Blawnox officials want more attention to be paid to code enforcement issues in sections of the borough other than Freeport Road.
Councilman Scott Krause said most reports filed on issues have been focused on Freeport Road, the main road through the borough.
"There's another part of this town, other than Freeport Road," Krause said during a July 24 meeting.
Krause said he has seen overgrown weeds and garbage placed on the curb earlier than allowed in the lower part of the borough. He said he didn't see reports filed on any of those issues.
Council President Deborah Laskey said other parts of town have been the focus of enforcement efforts.
Councilwoman Kathryn Coban said she contacted some residents who violated borough codes to discuss the problem with them and find a resolution.
Krause said that kind of personal interaction is better than only sending a letter notifying a resident of the problem. "No matter how it's worded, everyone is threatened by a letter," Krause said.
Krause, who lives in the lower part of town, below Freeport Road closer to the riverfront area, said that area deserves attention. "We'd like to see some improvements down below the tracks," Krause said.
More interaction with residents could help the borough become a cleaner place. "You don't see everything by riding around," Krause said. "You get out and walk around, you see a lot of different things."

December 1, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A text message from a surveillance system is being credited for helping police catch two burglars.
Todd Sims, the owner of Equipment Sales and Rentals, which is off Bizzell Drive, says he got a text around 3:50 AM.
"My phone went off and when I looked it was from the alarm system," explains Sims, "I immediately went online and signed on to look at the remote cameras and saw what was happening."
What he saw were two men, who police identify as Christopher Risen and Bennett Rayburn, stealing one of their trailers and loading them with their lawn mowers. "I jumped into my car and brought my iPad, where I tracked everything that was going on."
Sims says when he noticed the thieves were leaving he immediately called police. "I was able to give them a play by play of what was going on and where they were going. I was hoping they were going to get there soon or I was going to have to do something. Then, the next thing I knew, there were five cruisers surrounding their pick up truck and my cruiser. It was such a big sigh of relief because at that point it was me stopping them. Big sigh of relief."
We're told that Risen and Bennett are in the Fayette County Detention Center.

Customer Reviews
Should be called "MisGuide"
100% disappointed in this app and fully agree with the other rating that describes this app as heavily sponsored. In looking at the details behind some of the readings, it is obvious that sponsorship is taking place. There is absolutely nothing sustainable or eco-friendly about K-cups for instance, the chemicals in Scrubbing Bubbles, the sodium laurel sulfate in many of the shampoos listed with high ratings, and so on. Also, rating other companies (such as Equal Exchange) at such a low value, below some others like Folgers & Nesco is just outrageous. Take some of the advice from this app with a grain of salt because there's other places out there you can get more accurate information. If you truly want to live in a mindful and conscious way, do the research on your own and make your own decisions. Don't rely on an app to tell you exactly what's good and what's not without knowing what's in different products. That is exactly how we get misled.
Excellent app ... Should be on EVERYONES PHONE
Love this, I scan everything I want to buy, was surprised by using a "natural" organic product only to find that its maker is among the lowest 15% on the environmental scale... I would have never known what carcinogenic items where being passed on to me and causing ill health, if not for this app... High praises... Hope they get an influx of finding and make it the largest one stop for information of this kind! Download and use now!!!!
Very useful so far
I love that it gives alternative products. I only wish it would show pricing and the barcode scan is finicky. Otherwise it's awesome! Thank you.

Doesnt Mean Neurotic
your children to eat sensibly, then dont fret over the occasional
Fribble or fry By Laura Leon
I have older sisters who, to this day, refer bitterly to the
fact that our mother didnt make me eat whatever everybody
else was having. It doesnt matter that by the time I came
along, the tail end of a huge family, my mother had either
wised up to the futility of such a struggle, especially with
such a headstrong sort as myself, or just plain wearied of
the time-consuming prospect of coaxing lima beans and egg
noodles into an unreceptive mouth. These sisters were known
to make statements like My kids will learn to eat everything
thats given them, and not be spoiled like some people!
One such sibling, the organics and natural foods queen, Pamela,
absolutely shocked my husband and I about 12 years ago when,
visiting her family in San Francisco, we took a side trip
from a vineyard tour in order to get her then-2-year-old French
fries from McDonalds. At the time, we tsk-tskd at her folly;
surely, she was being a lazy parent, and besides, hadnt I,
in my childless wisdom, always warned her that she wouldnt
be able to forever keep things like processed cookies and
Cheese Doodles from her offspring?
Were bombarded these days not only with mass advertising
for a plethora of quick and convenience foods, but also,
increasingly, with news features about an epidemic of obesity
among our children. Concerned-yet-busy parents may try to
juggle the demands of family and work with nutritious and
expeditious meals, but the general feeling among moms and
dads is one of guilt. We got takeout chicken at Popeyes,
nervously admits one friend, while another confides, I havent
cooked in well over a year. My own sons were thrilled that
at a baseball picnic last summer because they were actually
going to get to eat hot dogs and drink soda. I mentioned this
to a friend of mine, who laughingly replied that she serves
these same vittles just about every other night. (This friend,
and her family, are just about the most joyful, easygoing
people I know. Go figure.)
The idea that home cooking involves intensive labor and massive
time consumption is simply beyond me, but thats fodder for
a separate discussion. Here, lets talk about what we feed
our children, and our expectations thereof. My erstwhile colleague
B.A. Nilsson has been known to rant against the dread chicken
fingers that are so prevalent on restaurant menus. And hes
got a point. Look under the kids section in nine out of 10
eateries, and youll see the deep-fried and breaded pantheon
of chicken fingers [or tenders], plain pizza, cheeseburger
and macaroni and cheese. Often, the mac and cheese is offered
as a side, a nice starchy complement to your starchy main
attraction. Then again, sometimes there is the option of pasta
with butter or sauce, or the classic PBJ.
Granted, were not talking epicurean: Theres a dreadful banality
to the salty breading and processed-cheese flavorings. Recently,
my son observed in amazement that the macaroni and cheese
he was eating at Houlihans tasted identical to that he had
had at Friendlys. Chain restaurants, particularly, order
such products from the same vendors, and theres a method
to the similarity, the aforementioned banality that, to many,
reassures and comforts. This doesnt have to be a bad thing;
when you are craving a Friendlys Fribble, you want
to know that its going to taste like you remembered it. The
downside is that it does nothing to lead the childs palate
in any direction other than processed foods. How do we expect
our children, as they grow, to suddenly learn to eat good,
healthy foods, if we consistently give them this stuff?
a big believer in avoiding the whole childrens-menu thing,
no matter how attractively priced it is (But, honey, the
dessert comes with the meal!). Ordering your child something
off the grown-up menu will give you a much wider range of
potentially healthier options. Some restaurants can do half
portions, or, if you have more than one child and, miracle
of miracles, they can agree on an entrée, have them share
it. Even if this means paying a $1 plate-
sharing charge, its worth paying for the $14.95 grilled chicken
with two veggies on the side, if nutrition and quality are
your watchwords.
Incidentally, Legal Sea Foods in Boston has the best childrens
menu going, an opinion that was recently backed up by Child
magazine, which named the chain tops in family-friendly
restaurants. (Interestingly, of the 125 menus that the magazine
analyzed, all offered soda but only two-thirds offered milk
as a beverage. Chicken nuggets, fingers or strips were on
87 percent of all menus, and salads appeared as a vegetable
option in only 19 percent of all menus.) Legal has banned
the use of trans fats in its kitchens, so even its fried seafood
isnt really all that bad.
Ethnic restaurants are great training grounds for trying new
foods and flavorings, and, in the process, reinforcing healthy
patterns. Theres just something about trying tofu or seitan
within the context of a foreign menu thats generally more
ingratiating with children, than, say, just serving it up
at home as a healthy alternative to animal protein.
But back to the dreaded chicken fingers. One thing that constantly
comes up, in the current food wars, is the concept that a
food is bad. There are a number of problems inherent to
the idea that food, or a single ingredient, is good or bad.
Remember back in the 70s, when we were urged to ditch olive
oils and butters in favor of the magic bullet, margarine?
For every new dietary fad, there are an exponential number
of misguided pronouncements, deeming everything from eggs
to nuts to the carbs found in vegetables and fruit as bad.
When teaching children about food, its unwise to use such
terminology, if for any reason than giving them something
that youre extolling as being really, really good for them
is bound to send them under the table. Seriously, in ascribing
such adjectives to things like ketchup, or French fries, or
what have you, youre giving the food a sort of power that
your own child, and presumably you, dont have over it. French
fries in and of themselves arent bad, reconstituted taters
out to lard your hips and pimple your face. But perhaps eating
French fries every day isnt such a good idea.
As my sister Pamela so wisely figured out, upon becoming a
mother, it doesnt matter in the long run if you occasionally
allow your kid to pig out on McDonalds fries. The important
thing is exposing them to healthy, delicious choices on a
daily basis, so that those choices are the norm, and the occasional
pizza and soda night, or summer-shack fried-clam platter,
isnt met with guilt, frustration or fear that Junior is going
to need Slim-Fast.

want your feedback
you eaten at any
recently reviewed restaurants?
Agree or disagree with B.A.? Let us know what you think...
very much enjoyed eating dinner at Daniel's
at Ogdens. You review described my dining
experience perfectly. This wasn't the case
with Pancho's. I much prefer Garcia's or
Lake View Tavern for Mexican fare. I agree
that a restaurant can have an off night
so I'll give the second unit on Central
Avenue a try.
yes I miss the star ratings, bring it back.
Second, I haven't had a chance to visit
Poncho's yet, but I especially like reading
the reviews.
East Greenbush
would travel to Amsterdam to this restaurant
- it's not that far away. People traveled
from all over to eat at Ferrandi's in Amsterdam.
From his background, I'm sure the chef's
sauce is excellent and that is the most
important aspect of an Italian restaurant.
Sometimes your reviewer wastes words on
the negative aspects of a restaurant. I'm
looking forward to trying this restaurant
- I look forward to Metroland every Thursday
especially for the restaurant review. And
by the way Ferrandi's closed its Amsterdam
location and is opening a new bistro on
Saratoga Lake - Should be up and running
in May. It will be called Saratoga Lake
Bistro. It should be great!
Van Deloo
happy to see you finally made out!! Our
experiences have always been wonderful,
the staff is extremely professional, the
food subperb, and the atmosphere very warm
and comfortable. Let us not forget to mention
"Maria" the pianist on Friday
and Saturday nights.
and Marie
Michaels Restaurant
have been to Michael's several times and
each time I have enjoyed it very much. The
food is delicious and the staff is great.
Also, Maria Riccio Bryce plays piano there
every Friday and Saturday evening, a nice
touch to add to the already wonderful atmosphere.
It is also easy to find, exit 27 off the
thruway to 30 north for about 5 miles.
loved it and will definitely go back.
excellent. The quality and the flavor far
surpasses that of other Indian restaurants
in the area. I was a die-hard Shalimar fan
and Tandoor Palace won my heart. It blows
Ghandi out of the water. FInally a decent
place in Albany where you can get a good
dinner for less than $10 and not have tacos.
The outdoor seating is also festive.
is my favorite cuisine available in the
area--I loved Tandoor Palace. We all agreed
that the tandoori chicken was superior to
other local restaraunts, and we also tried
the ka-chori based on that intriguing description-delicious.
comments about the Indian / Pakistani restaurants
being as "standardized as McDonald's"
shows either that you have eaten at only
a few Indian / Pakistani restaurants or
that you have some prejudices to work out.
That the physical appearances are not what
you would consider fancy dancy has no bearing
on the food. And after all, that is what
the main focus of the reviews should be.
Not the physical appearances, which is what
most of your reviews concentrate on.
A restaurant like The Shalimar, down on
Central Avenue, may not look the greatest,
but the food is excellent there. And the
menu has lots of variety - beef, lamb, vegetarian,
chicken, and more..

Flupenthixol Decanoate; Flupenthixol Dihydrochloride
Maintenance therapy of chronic schizophrenic patients whose main manifestations do include excitement, agitation, or hyperactivitynot
Not available in U.S.
C (based on similar agents)
Enters breast milk/not recommended
Hypersensitivity to flupenthixol, phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, or any component of the formulation; acute intoxication (ethanol, barbiturate, or opioid); severe CNS depression; coma; severely-agitated patients; suspected or established subcortical brain damage; cerebrovascular or renal insufficiency; severe cardiovascular disease/circulatory collapse; blood dyscrasias; pheochromocytoma
Use with caution in Parkinson's disease. Caution in patients with hemodynamic instability; predisposition to seizures; bone marrow suppression; severe cardiac, hepatic, renal, or respiratory disease. Esophageal dysmotility and aspiration have been associated with antipsychotic use; use with caution in patients at risk of pneumonia (ie, Alzheimer's disease). Caution in breast cancer or other prolactin-dependent tumors (may elevate prolactin levels). May alter temperature regulation or mask toxicity of other drugs due to antiemetic effects. May alter cardiac conduction; life-threatening arrhythmias have occurred with therapeutic doses of neuroleptics. May cause orthostatic hypotension; use with caution in patients at risk of this effect or those who would tolerate transient hypotensive episodes (cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, or other medications which may predispose). Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients.
Flupenthixol may be sedating, use with caution in disorders where CNS depression is a feature. May cause anticholinergic effects (confusion, agitation, constipation, dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention); therefore, they should be used with caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, urinary retention, BPH, xerostomia, or visual problems. Conditions which also may be exacerbated by cholinergic blockade include narrow-angle glaucoma (screening is recommended) and worsening of myasthenia gravis. Relative to other neuroleptics, flupenthixol has a low potency of cholinergic blockade.
May cause extrapyramidal reactions, including pseudoparkinsonism, acute dystonic reactions, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia (risk of these reactions is high relative to other neuroleptics). Antipsychotics may be associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) or pigmentary retinopathy. Because of its antiemetic properties, flupenthixol may mask signs of toxicity due to overdosage of other drugs.
Frequency not defined.
Central nervous system: Extrapyramidal effects (up to 30%; including akathisia, dystonia, pseudoparkinsonism, tardive dyskinesia), anxiety/nervousness, insomnia, headache, dizziness, depression, fatigue
Dermatologic: Rash, pruritus, exfoliative dermatitis, contact dermatitis
Endocrine & metabolic: Weight gain, galactorrhea, gynecomastia, decreased libido, hyperglycemia, glycosuria
Gastrointestinal: Xerostomia, increased salivation, nausea, vomiting
Genitourinary: Micturition disorder
Neuromuscular & skeletal: Hypertonia, tremor, weakness
Ocular: Abnormal accommodation, abnormal vision
Miscellaneous: Diaphoresis increased
Additional adverse events associated with antipsychotics include: Arrhythmias, angioedema, hematologic adverse effects (agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia) neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), photosensitivity, seizure
Symptoms of overdose include sedation, frequently preceded by extreme agitation, excitement, and confusion. Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) may develop, and respiratory and circulatory collapse may occur. Treatment is symptom-directed and supportive. Severe hypotension requires immediate use of I.V. vasopressor drugs such as norepinephrine bitartrate. Antiparkinsonian medication should be administered only if EPS symptoms develop.
Aluminum salts: May decrease the absorption of antipsychotics; monitor
Amphetamines: Efficacy may be diminished by antipsychotics; in addition, amphetamines may increase psychotic symptoms. Avoid concurrent use
Anticholinergics: May inhibit the therapeutic response to antipsychotics and excess anticholinergic effects may occur; includes benztropine, trihexyphenidyl, biperiden, and drugs with significant anticholinergic activity (TCAs, antihistamines, disopyramide)
Antihypertensives: Concurrent use of antipsychotics with an antihypertensive may produce additive hypotensive effects (particularly orthostasis)
Bromocriptine: Antipsychotics inhibit the ability of bromocriptine to lower serum prolactin concentrations
CNS depressants: Sedative effects may be additive with antipsychotics; monitor for increased effect; includes barbiturates, benzodiazepines, narcotic analgesics, ethanol, and other sedative agents
Epinephrine: Chlorpromazine (and possibly other low potency antipsychotics) may diminish the pressor effects of epinephrine
Guanethidine and guanadrel: Antihypertensive effects may be inhibited by antipsychotics
Levodopa: Antipsychotics may inhibit the antiparkinsonian effect of levodopa; avoid this combination
Lithium: Antipsychotics may produce neurotoxicity with lithium; this is a rare effect
Phenytoin: May reduce serum levels of antipsychotics; phenothiazines may increase phenytoin serum levels
Propranolol: Serum concentrations of antipsychotics may be increased; propranolol also increases some antipsychotic concentrations
Polypeptide antibiotics: Rare cases of respiratory paralysis have been reported with concurrent use of antipsychotics
Sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine: May increase antipsychotic concentrations
Tricyclic antidepressants: Concurrent use may produce increased toxicity or altered therapeutic response
Trazodone: Antipsychotics and trazodone may produce additive hypotensive effects
Valproic acid: Serum levels may be increased by antipsychotics
Solution: Store at room temperature; protect from light.
Flupenthixol is a thioxanthene antipsychotic which blocks postsynaptic dopamine receptors in the CNS, resulting in inhibition of dopamine-mediated effects
Onset: I.M. depot: 24-72 hours following injection
Duration: I.M. depot: 2-4 weeks
Time to peak:
I.M. depot: 4-7 days
Oral: 3-8 hours
Metabolism: Hepatic
Excretion: Feces (as metabolites); urine (small amounts)
I.M. (depot): Flupenthixol is administered by deep I.M. injection, preferably in the gluteus maximus, NOT for I.V. use; maintenance dosages are given at 2- to 3-week intervals
Patients not previously treated with long-acting depot neuroleptics should be given an initial test dose of 5-20 mg. An initial dose of 20 mg is usually well tolerated; however, a 5 mg test dose is recommended in elderly, frail, and cachectic patients, and in patients whose individual or family history suggests a predisposition to extrapyramidal reactions. In the subsequent 5-10 days, the therapeutic response and the appearance of extrapyramidal symptoms should be carefully monitored. Oral neuroleptic drugs may be continued, but dosage should be reduced during this overlapping period and eventually discontinued.
Oral: Initial: 1 mg 3 times/day; dose must be individualized. May be increased by 1 mg every 2-3 days based on tolerance and control of symptoms. Usual maintenance dosage: 3-6 mg/day in divided doses (doses

Did Justin Bieber Order Out for Pizza -- While Seated at a Four-Star Restaurant?
While visiting the Crescent City this week ahead of his Tuesday night show at the New Orleans Arena, word is Justin Bieber and his peeps got themselves a table at the romantic and locally beloved French Quarter restaurant, Irene's Cuisine, which mixes provincial French fare with Creole and Northern Italian cooking. Specialties include dishes like paneed oysters with grilled shrimp and pompano amandine. But when he booked the table, it sounds like the Biebs was actually just looking for a place to rest his OshKosh B'Gosh overalls, because according to tweets by respected local reporters, he eschewed Irene's entrees and ordered out for pizza from his post in their dining room instead.

F1's romance is lost on AmericansComment on this story
Americans have had a long-standing love affair with the car but the romance of Formula One, that sets hearts of motor sports fans around the world a flutter, has never managed to get pulses racing in the United States.
After a five-year hiatus, F1 returns to the United States this weekend for the U.S. Grand Prix at the new Circuit of the Americas, where Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel can clinch a third successive driver's title.
As jet-setters, high rollers and A-listers descend on Austin, the quirky Texas capital is gearing up for a week that will see an estimated $220 million (R1.9-billion) poured into the state economy.
Hotel rooms, if one can be obtained, are going at triple the normal rates while rental car companies are soldout and requests for reservations at one of the city's top restaurants are met with a laugh.
In the United States, however, the appeal of motor racing's glamour circuit has somehow been lost on the country that sells more Ferraris and Porsches than any other and it is likely more eyeballs will be focused on Homestead, Florida on Sunday where NASCAR's Chase championship will be decided.
"The truth is we find that there is no crossover," Eddie Gossage, the president of Texas Motor Speedway near Dallas, which hosts two of NASCAR's biggest races, told Reuters.
"NASCAR fans tend to look down their nose at Formula One fans and Formula One fans tend to look down their nose at NASCAR.
"It's apples and sausages, it's not even apples and oranges they are so unlike each other.
"First of all road racing isn't an American sport, oval racing is.
"It's like soccer in this country. It has never succeeded and I don't think it will ever succeed because it is not our game.
"It's not an American sport and that is never going to change."
The U.S. has been a market Formula One covets but is also one that commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone has viewed as more of a luxury than a necessity as the circuit searched out new venues to expand its global brand.
But the teams, car manufacturers and sponsors have not been so cavalier about the importance of having a U.S. race on the calendar with all of them keen to return to one of their biggest markets.
Once focused on wooing over NASCAR and IndyCar fans, F1 now appears more intent on catering to its base in yet another attempt to crack the U.S. market, with the Austin venue the 10th to host the race.
"They need to be here," said Gossage.
"It's the world's largest economy and Formula One is a global sport so it's an obvious hole on their schedule."
Gossage, whose track attracts more than 140 000 spectators to each race, said he was unthreatened by Formula One's appearance in Texas and wished U.S. Grand Prix promoters luck, then added they would probably need it.
"I think a lot of people were surprised about Austin it isn't a large market or an international market," he said of the Texan state capital.
"I think it will be quite successful this year the question is can it sustain that success.
"You look at the history of Formula One in the U.S. and it has never maintained any degree of success in the last 30 years.
"I hope they can but it is going to be a challenge ...they (Formula One) haven't made it easy for themselves." -Reuters

The end is nigh: Five things you should stock up on for the end of the world
The latest advert for American dessert Jell-O suggests that if the pudding was to be offered to the Gods, it may stave off the impending apocalypse that doomsayers expect to come this Friday.
However, instead of trying to placate South American Gods with jelly, we should be adding to our store cupboards just in case most of the human race is wiped out on December 21. These are the products I recommend you stock up on:
1. Peanut butter
Peanut butter will become an essential product as supplies of other sources of protein dry up. The nut-based spread can work in sweet or savoury dishes and that dexterity will be useful with the slim pickings likely to be on offer. I'd go as far as to say that peanut butter will gain an ambrosia-like status in this brave new world. For those with allergies, some alternatives include marshmallow spread and marmalade.
2. Yakult
This bacterium-based yoghurt-drink will come into its own after most of the world is destroyed. Readers of The War of the Worlds will know that it is bacteria that stopped Martian invaders from destroying the human race. As well as helping with maintaining your gut flora, Yakult may end up saving your life from aliens.
3. Marmite
You either love it or you hate it and in the small group of survivors there needs to be something to debate over. Long nights could be spent chatting about whether Marmite would improve or destroy your dishes. The sticky yeast extract would also be good for trapping the huge bugs that are sure to spring up soon after civilization is destroyed.
4. Baked Beans
The world may be destroyed but there will always be baked beans. Tinned food is likely to be a major source of nutrition as Britain is turned into a wasteland and beans are sure to be the food of choice. Also, on a sadder note though this British favourite could bring back fond memories of your now destroyed home.
5. Spirits
While I would never encourage the excessive consumption of spirits, the brandy that would otherwise light your Christmas pudding would be useful when the world is over. Use it to treat wounds caused by fighting zombies, to disinfect the grim surfaces in your nuclear bunker or to calm your terrified nerves. I recommend vodka.Tagged in: apocalypse, armageddon, end of the world, Marmite, Mayan, Peanut butter, Yakult

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jun 30, 2011
Attorney Roger McKeague has been selected as executive director of the Charter School Administrative Office, an agency that has seen several heads in its short history.
"Roger brings extensive knowledge of Hawaii's charter school system to this position," said Ruth Tschumy, chairwoman of the Charter School Review Panel, which chose McKeague at its meeting June 23.
"He has a vision for a bright future for Hawaii's charter schools and the panel feels confident he has the ability to manage the charter school system as required by law, as well as the ability to be a strong advocate for charter schools," Tschumy said.
McKeague joined the Charter School Administrative Office in December 2008 and served as deputy director. He became interim executive director after Maunalei Love stepped down Feb. 4 at the request of the panel.
McKeague is the fifth person selected as executive director of the office since it was launched in 2004, not counting those who served on an interim basis. The position is a challenging one, responsible for operating and managing the charter school system, as well as advocating for and guiding Hawaii's charter schools and helping charter applicants. It pays roughly $90,000 annually.
About 5 percent of Hawaii's public school students are enrolled in the state's 31 charter schools, a varied constituency ranging from small Hawaiian immersion schools to large online academies.
McKeague previously served as an analyst and adviser in the office of Gov. Linda Lingle and as a special assistant to the director of the state Department of Health. A member of the Hawaii State Bar since 1994, he has also worked as a lawyer and consultant, specializing in civil and business practice.
"I'm very honored and excited to serve and I'm very much looking forward to working to advance educational opportunities for our children in Hawaii," McKeague said Friday. "There are a lot of things that can be done that are not difficult."
