I see it having an immediate impact on Premier Royalty since it gives them an experienced mentor to pilot the fairly new ship through trecherous waters. I assume that SAND will put their people on the board. As to the benefits Sandstorm will derive, I have the same opinion as Nicholas Campbell who "does not like the implied valuation that SSL is paying to acquire the shares of NSR. That said, he is inclined to give Nolan Watson, President and CEO of SSL, the benefit of the doubt given the track record of his team at SSL."

We haven't had a conversation about tipping in awhile

Re: We haven't had a conversation about tipping in awhile
Since we in the U.S. live in a society where tipping is customary and wages are based on the assumption that servers get tips... yes, absolutely, if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out. Single Mom was way out of line.
I had an annoying experience at a new restaurant near me. I'm used to some places including a 15 or so percent service charge for parties of six of more, but this one included it for
. Also, if you ask for separate checks, they make you pay
the meal. What?! When I complained to the manager, the owner came out and gave me this long song and dance about how some servers don't report their tips, and some customers run out without paying and on and on. He was so arrogant and patronizing! If he thinks so little of his staff
his customers, maybe he should get out of the restaurant business.
Oh yeah, he also babbled about service being included in Europe -- even mentioned the names of a few countries, I guess to make sure I knew where Europe is.
Right, but we weren't

Texas Tech Football Player On Scooter Collides With Bus; Bus Gets The Worst Of It
This is what happened to the campus shuttle bus that collided this morning with Austin Stewart, a safety for the Texas Tech football team. Stewart was riding his motorized scooter when the collision occurred. He was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital to be evaluated, but a Texas Tech spokesman has described his… »

UNFORTUNATE TRIP: Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov is a local hero in Yaroslavl, Russia. He is a product of the Lokomotiv team. Ironically enough, if the Avs didn't acquire him from the Capitals this offseason, he very well could have been on the Lokomotiv roster again this season. Naturally, the Russian tragedy has hit close to home for Varly and he'll be heading back for the memorial services. Adrian Dater at the Denver Post has more.
PTERODACTLY AIR: Much has been made of the flying conditions in Russia since the crash, and rightfully so. To get a further understanding, just read Coyotes assistant coach Dave King's take on Russian air service from his book King of Russia: "The charter craft have, for the most part, featured modern, up-to-date planes, but today we're in a time warp, flying on a twin-propeller plane the players call Pterodactyl Air — for reasons that are self-explanatory." Here's the full section at the Edmonton Journal.
FIRST ACCOUNT: When the airline went down just after takeoff and landed in the water, there just happened to be a boat a few hundred yards away. Here's the harrowing account (Alex Ovetjkin) of their first response on the scene including their interactions with the crash's two survivors.
NEW ADDRESS, NEW NUMBER: After spending more than 11 seasons in Toronto to begin his career, Tomas Kaberle is now with his third team in a year, joining the Carolina Hurricanes in the offseason. And it's going to be a new start in more ways than one. With his number 15 already snagged by Tuomo Ruutu, Kaberle is going with the inverted look and will wear No. 51 (News Observer).
HOCKEY ON THE BOARDWALK: Despite not having an AHL team based in Atlantic City, the league will have its All-Star Game in the historic Boardwalk Hall (The Hockey News) next season. On a related note, next year's AHL All-Star Game will be one of the most attended and covered in the league's history.
NOT FINNISHED YET: Remember the name Jarkko Ruutu? The former Canucks, Penguins, Senators and most recently Ducks forward and brother of the aforementioned Tuomo Ruutu (two Ruutus in one post?) couldn't find a suitable offer in the NHL, so he's headed back to Europe, joining Jokerit of the Finnish league. Slava Malamud says Ruutu did have offers from the KHL worth more, but instead chose Finland.
THE NHL'S TIM TEBOW? That's the connection being drawn at PredGold between Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis and the former Florida Gators now Denver Broncos QB. Have a look at the list of similarities and see if you agree.
PERFECT PITCH: It's still the offseason, but camp is right around the corner so players are almost all on their way to the cities they play in, but still need a way to stay busy. John Carlson of the Capitals recently found something to do for a day, go to a Nationals game and throw out the first pitch. That's a nice arm on Carlson. Too bad nobody was in attendance to see it.

Coopers Lake fireworks festival traffic flowed thanks to agreement
A last-minute agreement with officials in Worth helped put more state troopers on traffic control duty at the 2013 Boom & a Blast Pyrotechnics Guild International Convention and kept traffic flowing better than some officials had feared.
"We had more manpower than we initially believed and anticipated, and we were able to dedicate that to traffic flow on Interstate 79 and Route 422," said state police Lt. Eric Hermick, commander of the Butler barracks.
Lengthy traffic delays occurred on the last day of the festival. Traffic was backed up for several miles on Interstate 79 and Route 422 as people arrived to watch the display.
"I think it was pretty much what we expected," said Jack Cohen, Butler County's tourism director said. "Friday (the finale) was the biggest night, we may have had 35,000 to 40,000 cars. But we did pretty well, There were no real incidents. Everything went off without a hitch."
Cohen added that traffic flowed well throughout the week because fewer people attended the public weeknight displays. There were 5,000 to 7,000 vehicles.
State police and the Butler County sheriff's department handled traffic flow near Cooper's Lake Campground for the Aug. 11-16 festival.
Hermick said the cost of the overtime was being tallied.
Worth secretary-treasurer Shari Kreutz said the township hadn't received a bill yet. She said officials had hoped to keep the overtime pay to less than $5,000.
Cohen said the amusement tax meant the county will receive 5 percent of the revenue generated from the admission fees of $35 and $40 a car. Cohen said event organizers, Pyrotechnics Guild International, didn't have final attendance numbers as of Wednesday.
"We've already seen $3.75 million in economic impact," Cohen said, before adding up the amusement tax. "We'll see over $4 million for sure."
That economic impact included hotel reservations, convention attendees and visitors to the public displays spending money on food and other items.
Cohen said the success of the convention should help with Butler County's pitch to have the group return in 2017.
"Everybody loved the site," Cohen said.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. - DeSales' Ryan Baumgart has a four-stroke lead after the first round at the state Class 1B/2B golf tournament at Meadow Park Golf Course here Tuesday.
Baumgart shot a 74, trailed by Northwest Yeshiva's Elie Aboulafia at 78.
"We're sitting in good shape for a team trophy and Ryan is obviously sitting in good position to win it," said DeSales coach Lon Olson, even as he checked the weather report. "I'm always concerned about the weather, but everyone has to play in it. Rain is predicted today over here."
Baumgart's Irish teammate Jerod Konen, Dayton's Dain Henderson and Waitsburg-Prescott's Dakota Baker sit in a tie for 10th place with first-rounds of 84.
"Dain started great with a 39 on the front nine," Dayton coach Mike McGhan said. "He got a little too aggressive on the back nine and took a couple of double bogies. He finished strong with back-to-back pars. He lipped out a couple of birdie puts or he would have moved up in the standings.
"Dakota started with two double-bogies on the front nine, but shook off the jitters to finish with 44," McGhan said. "He caught fire on the back nine to finish the round at 84 to make the cut.
"Both Dakota and Dain can move up into the medals with a good round on Wednesday. They are only two strokes out of fifth place."
Pomeroy's Joel Myers shot an 86 to sit in a tie for 14th headed into today's second round, while all of the other 13 District 9 qualifiers also made the cut.
"I'm pleased because getting in the second round at this course is way tighter than anything we've faced," said Pomeroy coach Jim Greene. "This course has a little water and sand, and then, especially on the back nine, there are narrow fairways lined with trees that you've got to hit over, and other environmental ditches. It's more challenging for our kids to play, and for them to advance is pretty exciting."
DeSales' Bryce Scott and Pomeroy's Tyson Feider made the cut with 88s.
The state tournament continues today, with the top eight individuals and top four teams winning trophies.
Of the 80 golfers that began the tournament, only 40 continued play today. Of those 40, 13 are District 9 golfers.
"That says a lot for District 9," Olson said. "It was well-represented at state and DeSales has done themselves proud so far, so hopefully we'll do a couple-three strokes better today and finish really strong."
On the girls side, DeSales' Ashton Montgomery made the cut with a first-round 102, sitting in 14th place. Montgomery had the earliest round today, while the boys played later in the morning.
"Hopefully she had enough rest and she'll give it her best shot," Olson said.
Dayton's Molly Payne shot a 122 and Abby Chapman a 124. Both missed the cut to today's second round.
"It just wasn't in the cards for Molly and Abby today," McGhan said. "Neither golfer caught any breaks and struggled in the trees. They are both disappointed, but have nothing to be ashamed of. This was Abby's first trip to state and I am sure she will be back next year to take care of business. Molly has made it to state all four years and I know she would have liked to make the cut to end her career. Molly and Dain have been the heart and soul of our program for the past four years and we will really miss them next year."

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Universe: Stephen Wolfram: A New Kind of Science-Or a Not-So-New Kind of Computer Program?
Naiditch, David, Skeptic (Altadena, CA)
IN MAY 2002, AFTER SPENDING A DECADE living as a recluse, the legendary Stephen Wolfram stepped into the public arena with the publication of a book promising to revolutionize the way we do science. For hundreds of years, scientists have successfully used mathematical equations that show how various entities are related. For example, Newton's equation (his second law of motion) F=ma shows us how force (F) is related to mass (m) and acceleration (a). The problem with this approach is that equations fail to adequately describe complex phenomena all around us, such as the turbulence of boiling water or the changing weather. Whereas equations cannot capture such complexity, Wolfram believes that simple computational rules can. Therefore, to model nature's complex phenomena, Wolfram proposes that scientists give up their unwieldy equations and instead employ the types of computational rules used in cellular automata (CA) and related computer programs. These programs repeatedly execute a set of riles that are simple enough for a child to follow. Yet, despite their ultimate simplicity, these programs can generate immense complexity.
According to Wolfram, the discovery that simple riles can generate complexity--a discovery he attributes primarily to himself--is "one of the more important single discoveries in the whole history of theoretical science." (1) The reason he believes this discovery is so important is that it applies to everything in the universe. Computations are not just performed by the chips in our computers. Rather, every physical process, from an exploding star to water swirling down a drain, can be viewed as a series of computations or programs in which the process moves, moment by moment, from some initial state to some outcome. So instead of using equations to describe some of the regularities seen in nature's programs, Wolfram tells us to examine the programs themselves.
A Jedi Mind-warrior
Wolfram is a genius among geniuses, or as Wired reporter Steven Levy says, a "Jedi mind-warrior." Wolfram's brilliance became apparent at an early age. He earned a scholarship to Eton College at age 13. At 15, he published his first scientific paper, a study in high-energy physics titled Hadronic Electrons? In 1978, the renowned physicist Murray Gell-Mann invited Wolfram to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where within a few years he published more than 25 scientific papers. The work he did during his first year at Caltech earned him a doctorate in theoretical physics when he was just 20. At 21, Wolfram became the youngest scientist to receive a MacArthur award for his work in physics and computer science.
At Caltech, Wolfram become interested in explaining how complex structures like galaxies evolved. He gradually became convinced that mathematics was not up to the task. The equations of mathematical physics can describe relatively simple phenomena, but not phenomena as complex and messy as the evolution of galaxies, the dynamics of weather, or the fluctuations of the stock market.
After a feud with Caltech over the rights to his work, Wolfram transferred to the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton. At Princeton, Wolfram gained access to powerful computers, which he used to perform computer experiments. These experiments led him to the idea that CA and related systems could revolutionize the way we do science.
Despite Wolfram's brilliance, he never adjusted to academic life. He left Princeton, and after a short-lived stint at the University of Illinois, founded his own company, Wolfram Research, Inc. Within a few years, Wolfram made a fortune developing "Mathematica"--a powerful software program that has become a standard for technical computing. Unlike some successful entrepreneurs, Wolfram never lost interest in fundamental science. With his newly found financial independence, he spent a decade or so working in relative isolation at home.
Wolfram performed numerous computer experiments and captured his ideas in his book, A New Kind of Science (NKS), which grew to an impressive 1,197 pages. …

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I'm addicted to books, and am never without one. Not because I'm particularly intelligent or anything, but because there is something wonderfully safe and beautiful about the written word, it is where I feel most at home. When not reading, I am shy around new people and bouncy and ridiculous around friends. I want to learn to rock-climb and paint, and go spelunking and travel.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I am an in-home caregiver. I have worked with the same family for four years. My job is like being home away from home, and I love the children I work with. It is my ultimate hope to become a librarian, and, eventually, an archivist.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Taking tests, climbing trees, appreciating food cooked by other people (I'm a terrible cook), playing tetris. . .and other things, I'm sure
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
The book in my hand, or the ones falling out of my purse, or stacked up carelessly in my car. . .you get the idea
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
All the books, Though my top five favorite books, to save time, are East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flagg, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. Then there's the Perks of Being a Wallflower, Fahrenheit 451, well that's seven, I did better at stopping than I expected =) Movies-wise, I've a weakness for anything done by Focus Features or Disney, and I don't really watch TV because we do not have cable, though I love TedTalks on Netflix. I love 90's music and know what I am sure is every single song ever sung by the band Cake. I am also partial to some country music, Johnny Cash, musicals, and Frank Sinatra. I like sushi, macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, and rice, bean and cheese tacos.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
books, friends, car, phone, computer, hope
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
everything and all the things and how they are connected to each other. The latest thing I've read or seen on TedTalks, my dreams for the future, I think about so many random things that have nothing to do with anything, but are all connected to everything ultimately, I don't care if that makes no sense.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Out getting a beer, (I have a fondness for craft beers, particularly stouts and belgian tripels) either with a friend or two, or with a book.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
yeah, this section's silly, talk to me and find out for yourself what I am and am not willing to admit
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
you want somebody to do things with or to talk to. We could go to painting with a twist, or take hikes, grab a beer or browse through half-price books. or just be penpals, as I have a fondness for sending and receiving things in my mailbox that have nothing to do with ads or bills. I suppose that I should stress that I am looking for friendship here. My friends have slowly but surely moved away to chase job opportunities and I am looking for friendly, like-minded people who like to hang out and try new things.

[VIDEO] GM Returns to the Nurburgring with the 2012 Corvette ZR1
Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter said at the Corvette Museum's C5/C6 Bash in April that they would be looking to make a trip to the famous 12.9 mile Nordschleife for final validation of the supercharged C6 ZR1. We just didn't realize it would be so soon! Judging from the new official video from Chevrolet showing test driver Jim Mero piloting the 638-hp Corvette to a time of 7:19.63, an 6 second improvement over the famous high speed run in July 2008, I would have to say that final validation was most definitely a success.
If you already watched the new video, you heard Corvette's chief engineer talk about various aspects of the 2012 Corvette ZR1 vs the 2009 model that was tested previously. Those changes included the new sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, while chassis and aero improvements have really improved the car over the last 4 years.
Driving the ZR1 on the Nurburgring looks to be a blast. According to the telemetry provided in the video, Mero hit a top speed of 183 mph and lateral Gs went as high as 1.8.
The new time of 7:19.63 beats the previous 2009 Corvette ZR1s run of 7:26.4 by over 6 seconds. The new time also puts the 2012 Corvette ZR1 ahead of the Dodge Viper ACR (7:22.1), the Porsche 911 GTS RS (7:24) and the Nissan GT-R (7:24.22).
Nice job Team Corvette!!
Update – GM Press Release added:
DETROIT – Corvette returned to the world's most-demanding testing ground – Germany's famed Nurburgring – and recorded lap times that rank among the fastest recorded for a production car.
As detailed on video, the 2012 Corvette ZR1 recorded a lap time of 7:19.63, more than six seconds faster than the previous Corvette-best recorded in 2008. A lap video featuring the Corvette Z06 will be released soon.
"Testing at the Nurburgring is one of the important methods we have to validate our car in the toughest track conditions." says Tadge Juechter, Corvette vehicle line director and chief engineer.
Measuring 12.9 miles (20.8 km) and including some 154 turns, the Nurburgring's Nordschleife ("north loop") is widely considered the world's most-demanding course. As was the case at Corvette's last test in 2008, the car was driven by Corvette engineer Jim Mero and was a full production model with no performance modifications. This test was to validate the car's added performance technology coming to production later this summer for the 2012 model year.
Corvette's improved performance for 2012 begins with the new, optional Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup Zero Pressure tires, which are available on the two highest-performing models, the lightweight, 505-hp (377 kW) Z06 and the maximum-performance, 638-hp (476 kW) supercharged ZR1. They are competition-oriented tires, optimized for warm, dry conditions to increase cornering and handling capability.
When combined with the Corvette's exclusive Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology – which manages torque delivery for maximum performance – the tires set new benchmarks for Corvette performance. Engineers estimate an 8-percent gain in maximum lateral acceleration, to more than 1.1g, and improved braking distance.

[VIDEO] Official Video of Corvette ZR1's 7:26.4 Nurburgring Lap
so is it the fastest production car to do the ring? if not whats its rank?
This is, arguably, more a validation of PS Cup tires than the car, since the car pretty clearly validated itself with it's short-lived Ring record and subsequent runner-up time.
The 2012 Corvette ZR1 now owns the regular production sports car record with its new time of 7:19.63. There is a Porsche GT2 RS that has claimed a time of 7:18 but no independent witnesses or video of that run was published.
Well for all those fan boys that always say that the Vette can only go in a straight line, EAT IT! Corvette RULES!
Great to see Mero improve the ZR1's lap time around the Nordschleife, but he didn't beat the Porsche 911 GT2 RS's time; it went around in 7:18.
Hi Eric
We didn't include the 7:18 time for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS as it was an unverified claim. In this day and age, everyone is running video, especially manufacturers. If it happened, show the tape.

COVINGTON - Covington police say that it is unlikely that a 3-year-old boy, who allegedly threw a dog to the ground and killed it last week, will face any charges in connection with the incident.Shortly before 5 p.m. Friday, Covington Police Department Officer Stanley Moore responded to a home on Scarlet Drive and spoke to the owner of the dog, according to an incident report completed by the officer. The victim told Moore that his daughter had been playing with two neighborhood children in his garage when he heard his daughter scream. When he went to see what happened, the victim said he noticed his white toy poodle, which he had owned for more than 13 years, lying motionless on the pavement. His daughter reportedly told him that one of the children she had been playing with had been holding the dog and when she told him to put it down, he threw the animal down in anger, Moore said. The victim asked the children to go home, at which point he escorted them to their residence and spoke to their mother, who agreed to reimburse him for the dog. The child who allegedly killed the dog was later identified as a 3-year-old boy, according to the CPD report. Joel Griffin can be reached at email@example.com

Could Mila Kunis soon be sporting a little red bracelet?
The actress accompanied beau of six months Ashton Kutcher to Rosh Hashanah holiday services at the Kabbalah Center in New York on Sept. 18.
"The men and women are separated [during the service], but Ashton always smiled at her," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly.
PHOTOS: Demi and Ashton in happier times
Afterward, Kutcher "ran to embrace her," the witness adds. "They were clapping and praying. She was taking it all in."
The "Two and a Half Men" actor, 34, first joined the sect popular with celebrities like Madonna in 2003, with his now-estranged wife Demi Moore. (Last fall, as Moore and Kutcher struggled to save their marriage, they turned to a counseling center with Kabbalah affiliations.)
PHOTOS: Kutcher and Kunis' big break
Now, Kutcher is determined to make it work with -- and open up his life to -- his former "That '70s Show" costar, 29.
"He always had a thing for [Mila]," a source recently told Us. "It's a real infatuation."

So how am I feeling? Good overall. I get pressure down low like I have to use the bathroom but never have to and that makes me think I may be starting labor soon but I know the chances of that happening is slim to none. Plus honestly I want her to stay in until exactly 40 weeks.
I'm looking forward to eating rice and waffles and....subs again when she's here. I don't really have bad Braxton hicks. My appetite has decreased over the last two weeks.
I went to the birthing center and found out my midwives last day was when I was there so I need to meet the other midwifes. I was fairly upset about that. I've only bonded with her. Either way there isn't anything I can do about that but be positive so that's what I'm doing. Madison is measuring 2 weeks behind. Kinda worries me but the midwife said she was measuring perfectly and I gained 5 lbs so I don't know. She moves like crazy. A lot of the time it's pretty uncomfortable.
I've been craving sweets. Mainly brownies and im not even going to say how many brownies I've had recently.

Celeb Inc. for Aug. 18

By Rebecca Silverstein
Believe it or not, it's hard to be a celeb these days. Sure, they go on lavish vacations, drive sweet cars and live in gargantuan mansions, but how do you think they get all those riches? By selling their souls, er, products. Keep clicking for the latest celeb endorsements.
Another week, another celeb fashion line. This time, it's Adam Levine who's hawking a signature collection. Named 222, the line will include jeans, T-shirts and leather jackets for men and women. It actually makes sense that Adam gets into fashion: His father owns and operates the M. Fredric boutiques in L.A. Our only question is if everything will be maroon (ha!).

I'm not sure that being dominated by two (uneven) franchises is better than being dominated by one.
I'd say yes, by definition. It's not a perfect situation either but rival TV shows alternating wins is by definition better than the same show primarily competing against itself, and certainly better than the 'rival' show (in this case, Battlestar Galactica) never winning once.
And really, uneven is a given. Has there ever been a genre series that was 1. consistently good and 2. not cancelled before it could have a second season?
It's not that they aren't watching other shows, it's that they're hardcore enough fans, and caught up in fandom enough, to feel that any
Doctor Who
is superior to everything else.
Which is precisely the problem. This should be a judgement of sci-fi TV, not Doctor Who and occasionally maybe that alternate universe episode of that American sitcom that has its own take on Doctor Who.
