Luis Bunuel's/Salvador Dali's silent surrealist classic, L'Age d'Or, accompanied by Jonathan Goldie (Spanish guitar instrumentalist), will screen first. This film was so controversial it caused riots when screened in Paris in 1930. Following L'Age d'Or, the German Expressionist/horror prototype, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, will screen to the ambient electronic sounds of local Richmond artists Predation (featuring Lee Acosta-Lewis, member of Hard Stripes).

A cash bar will also be available for beer and wine on premises.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
A landmark of cinematic artistry, this classic silent horror film has vivid expressionistic imagery which brilliantly reflects the nightmarish emotional states of the characters. Francis' investigation of his friend's murder leads him to suspect that the killer was a zombie-like sleepwalker under the hypnotic control of the diabolical Dr. Caligari. A live soundtrack will be provided by local Richmond artist Predation.
L'Age d'Or (1930)
A surrealist tale of a man and a woman passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted by their families, the Church, and bourgeois society. live soundtrack will be provided by Spanish guitar instrumentalist, Jonathan Goldie.

What is James River Short Films?
James River Short Films is a mini-festival devoted to the short. The centerpiece is a juried competition for short films (20 minutes or less) from around the globe that best embody what the James River Film Society and James River Film Festival are all about – the art of film and film as art.
It's also the James River Film Festival's little sibling. Even a snapshot of the guests from the past 20 years of the JRFF –Michael Almereyda, Caroline Martel, Tom Davenport, David Gatten, Ross McElwee, Jodie Mack, Peggy Ahwesh, Jem Cohen, Bruce Bickford, Richard Kelly, Chuck Statler, Karen Aqua, Joanna Priestley, Richard Myers, Pere Ubu, Martha Colburn, Mel Stuart, The Brothers Quay, Jonas Mekas, Les Blank, Ray Harryhausen, Tom Verlaine, Charles Burnett, Albert Maysles, John Columbus, Stan Brakhage, Scott MacDonald, and William Wegman – shows that we have a broad concept of the art of film and film as art. Therefore, we encourage all types of short films – fiction, nonfiction, animation, experimental and more. We define short, you define art.

Selection and Screening
Those entrants who become finalists will be notified by October 30th.

22nd James River Film Festival: The Last Limousine
• Sunday, April 12, 2015, 8:00 pm
• Visual Arts Center, 1812 W Main St, Richmond, Va 23220, 804-353-0094
• Admission: $7 / JRFS Members $5
The Last Limousine (dir: Daria Khlestina, 2014, 75 min, Russian with English subtitles) with VGIK puppet animations from Moscow!
"Imagine an episode of The Office set in a Russian car factory, and you're close to the ambience of The Last Limousine!"
Hollywood Reporter
The late director Daria Khlestina was editing this film in Amsterdam as she received cancer treatments; later she scrapped the initial edit and started over despite her condition. Khlestina gently and probingly toys with the Soviet ideal of the proletariat, and seems to find in her film the answer she hoped for. Faced with the demise of the car factory where they work, six employeesengineers, bosses and laborerscling to professional pride and delusions as their world seemingly crumbles around them. Then, miraculously, an order comes in for three of the company's deluxe hand-built limousines, the same limos that once squired Party dignitaries through parades in Red Square. They throw themselves tirelessly into fulfilling the order on time, but will it save the factory? Also, three animated puppet shorts from the VGIK, the Moscow Film School. (Total running time 105 min approx.)
Special thanks to Kevin McNeer, our James River Film Festival correspondent in Moscow!

And not actually theirs
Waifu----you know what to do /durr
Alternate captions
Believe it or not this is actually a doodle with color splatter so I paid little to no attention to anatomy (all the fail) and line quality (this would've been up 2 days ago but first I had to fix two things that were bothering me when I was about to finish shading the last things *weeps* and then dA decided my comment wasn't worth showing and it just at it all and replaced it with a 1 ) I re-sketched over the little 300x300 one I did about 2-3 days ago. The kitchen picture drove shippers crazy, apparently //shot and I'm sure as hell not helping but----I regret nothing~ I tried out some effects from this lovely tutorial
Eh-----so somehow these two are getting shipped [] and both *countesslainy and myself have no idea where all of this sudden shipping came from, so I told her my theory (the Kuroshitsuji effect //shot ) and drew it out *ming* I'm not exactly a fan of Kuroshitsuji, only watched---err----maybe 2-3 eps? And that was it LMFAO I just like Ciel's clothes =v=b My apologies to any fans of the series who might not be too happy with this pic ;A;
Aaaaaaaaaaat any rate, yep, this is why I think they get shipped, because shota? (even when Scott is nowhere near a butler, and he's actually the 'young rich kid'? *mingplz* ) *raises eyebrow* Idek anymore----
it's 11:42 am, and I haven't gone to bed LOL my brain stopped working looooooooooong ago //fleesfromaxopeeps Well it's 11:38pm now and dA probably won't add my comment but yeah D:--------- make that 2:01am now =A=;Ok~ It's yet another day and 9:31pm but I finally got to upload this! F*CK YES!
[Guys, I finally got to submit this after 2 days I think! Thanks for finally getting your shit together dA! Omg I feel so much better right now~! Mood = restored *brb being emotional now* ]
[this pic because I hate Scott's CS so much lol *allmycreys* ]
Tools: SAI, PSE10, PSCS2
Time: Doodle 15-20 mins
Re-sketching + color = no clue

GIRL----- I want to punch myself in my god damn face!!! HOW COULD I NOT COMMENT ON THIS BEAUTY!?!? Of course I spazzed to you about it-- BUT I MUST COMMENT!! Like--- homg I'm a fail. *sobs and hugs*
I look at this all the time---- ALL. THE. TIME.
But now I just think of our conversation last night and I can't help but go
The detail on this is freaking awesome!! Know what stuck out to me though?? The fucking rings. HNG My gawd. THE FREAKING SIZE DIFFERENCE!! hnnnnnnn //nosebleeds//
Hnnnng it's complete =A= *touches both of them*
sweeet baby jesuuuuuus

Ohohohohohoho~~~ I get odd ideas sometimes :icomoemoeplz:
Nope, I just try to figure out why the hell are they shipped, ROFLMFAO!
I think it's the fact that they're really cute together, since one is tall and the other is short. Plus the one drawing Lainy drew, didn't help prevent the shipping //shot//
it made me chuckle.

Summary: Lily Evans never really questioned what she was told. She was told that she had everything, that others wanted to be her. She was told that she perfect. She never had a reason not to believe them all -- until it all falls apart.
This is for 'The Spring Challenge: To Laugh or Cry'. I am Kask of Slytherin.
Love it! Lily was believable, hating her perfection while others would kill for it.
James was good, striking out at her with the gum to show that even she wasn't perfect.
Love it
Amphibious Lizards by Apollonious
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 117]
Summary: They are all talented, some more than others. Some play Quidditch. Others are known for their brilliance in academics. They are the Marauders and a group that has lain in the shadows up to now, called the Lady Firebrands, known for their hot tempers and rather subdued practical jokes.
Romance will bloom.
Rivalries will blossom.
The author will try to stop using so many bad plant puns.
The story of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs' NEWT years will be told.
These are the Amphibious Lizards.
Sooo good, please update!
I Solemnly Swear by Mila Zakharov
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: The course of true love never did run smooth. James' infatuation with Lily is driving him–and his friends–insane! Peter accuses the fiery redhead of being cold-hearted, Remus suggests growing-up and Sirius won't stop bickering with Tabitha while coming up with plans that turn out for worse! Add to that romantic tribulations of their own, lycanthropy and the imminent rise of the dark arts and you ought to find more than just a bit of mischief and mayhem.
Follow Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs through their last two years at Hogwarts, were merlin-knows what they will get up to! Ragging hormones, danger, grief and love are one of the few things they'll face and, of course, let's not forget about pranks. After all, that's why the girls at Hogwarts sigh, the teachers swear and Dumbledore just chuckles.
CHAPTER THREE IN THE QUEUE, Excerpt:
"As I was saying," Lily continued, "Professor Goone...well, he hasn't moved for the last twenty minutes, not even with all this noise."
Peter breathed in, heavily. "You don't think he's dead, do you?"
"Shouldn't we...I don't know, try to wake him up?" she suggested, ignoring Peter's remark.
"Are you mad?" exclaimed Sirius. "Why would you do that? He's having a jolly good time sleeping; we're having a jolly good time talking. Everybody wins."
Lily didn't even spare a glance at Sirius; instead she kept her eyes focussed on Remus. "So, what do you think?" she asked him.
Remus shrugged. "I'm not sure–wouldn't he feel embarrassed that we caught him sleeping in class if we wake him up?"
"Right," said Sirius. "We'd hurt his feelings!"
Good, a bit confused on surnames, but that might just be me ;)
Summer of '97 by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 13]
Summary: On a fine day during the school summer holidays two Hogwarts students meet in a small market town in the north of England.
This is Northumbrian of Ravenclaw writing for the Madam Pomfrey One-Shot Triathlon - Round Three: Original Characters, Prompt 2 (summer holidays).
This is really good, I really enjoyed it! I come from Northumberland too ;) Whenever I see this story title, I think of 'Summer of '69', the song, and I always try to fit '97 into those lyrics whenever I see this.
So, anyway, carry on writing!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review
Making Colin and Fenella Durham Dales folk seemed like a good idea at the time. I like using real places (like Barnard Castle). Ive set another story (Strangers at Drakeshaugh) in Northumberland rather than Durham, Coquetdale to be precise. If youve never been, you should walk to the Drakestone.-N-
A Different Kind of Magic by unjellify
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 112]
Summary: James Potter is Head Boy and Gryffindor Quidditch captain in his seventh year at Hogwarts. He has three best friends and his life seems perfect--except that Lily Evans, the only girl he's ever loved, can't stand him.
Lily Evans is Head Girl and top of their class. She's always been disgusted by James' arrogance, yet she can't seem to stop blushing when he's around.
As their Head Boy and Girl duties bring them together, can James find a way to win Lily's love?
A Different Kind of Magic has been nominated for the 2011 Quicksilver Quills: Best Canon Romance. Thank you!
I quite literally squealed when I saw this had been updated! I have it favourited (is that a word?!) on my laptop, and I check it every two days.
Love the chapter, please update soon!
Sailing Girl xxx
Author's Response: Thank you so much! This review just made my day! :) I've just started chapter five. Schoolwork always gets in the way of my writing, unfortunately, but hopefully I'll finish the chapter soon in a way that I'm satisfied with.
Two words : Love.It!
Please update! ;)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm honestly thrilled that people love the story so far. :)
The Choices We Make by emck_21
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: Lia Thompson is a sixteen-year-old Australian girl about to enter her fifth year at The Glenvale College of Magical Arts. But the Wizarding World is at war, and although Lia may think she's far away from trouble, she's about to learn exactly how wrong she is.
Sooo good ;)
Thanks for mentioning me in the author's notes :D
Looking forward to the next chapter, its gonna be great, people.
One Of The Boys by princess_padfoot
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 18]
Summary: One year that will change everything. Two relationships that are destined to happen. Three words that are bound to impact more than one person. Four boys that are determined to make their last year at Hogwarts as memorable and legendary as possible. Five pranks that will drive Severus Snape to do something he only ever dreamed about. Six years that James Potter has been chasing after a certain red-headed witch, will this finally be the lucky year? It's going to be one hell of a seventh year for the Marauders.
Love it, please carry on!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, I'm so glad you like it! I'll probably be submitting the next chapter sometime this week, so hopefully it won't take too long to be posted.
Remembering Lily by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 39]
Summary: A lonely figure walks down the street, long auburn hair trailing behind her in the blustery wind. She pulls a red wool coat snug around her, gloved hands tucked into pockets as she wanders the sidewalk, glancing up at the shop fronts. She is young, but her face is lined with sadness, as if searching for something she has lost. Her green eyes long for answers.
Across the way a young man stops and stares at the woman in the red coat, hardly daring to believe it might be her. And yet as she turns and walks back up the street, he knows it is, and his heart stops beating for a moment. He blinks, just to see if she will disappear from his life once more, like she did over a year ago.
She doesn't.
This fic is brilliant! I don't usually read chaptered fics with only a few chapters, as I thought they would have a poor storyline, but this has really opened my eyes!
You deserve a prize for this one, definately!

As the only industrialized superpower not decimated by World War II, the United States once made nearly 40% of the planet's goods. These days, that number has shrunk to 18%. We make American Girl dolls in China, Levi's jeans in Mexico, and enough movies in Vancouver to nickname it Hollywood North.

It isn't just U.S. companies that are drawn to our cheap energy, weak dollar, and stagnant wages. Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea) plans a $4 billion semiconductor plant in Texas, Airbus SAS is building a factory in Alabama, and Toyota (TM) wants to export minivans made in Indiana to Asia.
The Rust Belt owes its new shine to many factors, including rising wages and industrial-land costs in Asia. But none is bigger than the U.S. energy boom. Thanks to a head start in extracting oil and gas from shales, North America now produces far more natural gas than any other continent. Unlike oil, gas isn't easily transported across oceans, and a result is some of the world's cheapest energy within our reach: Natural gas here costs $3.55 per million British thermal units, versus roughly $12 in Europe and $16 in Japan. Cheap energy not only reduces our trade deficit and our addiction to Middle East oil, it also makes our factories more competitive globally -- a boon for a country that had gone from exporting American goods to exporting American jobs.
The biggest beneficiaries are energy-guzzling companies like chemical producers and steelmakers, and Barron's has identified eight stocks that should prosper in our gas-fueled manufacturing upswing. They are Southwestern Energy, LyondellBasell Industries, Nucor, Dover, Calpine, CF Industries, Williams, and Union Pacific. But any glow will also rub off on regional lenders, home builders, and local small businesses. "The U.S. is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas," declares Nancy Lazar, co-head of the New York research firm International Strategy & Investment. "And Middle America is my favorite emerging market."
Our energy boom got cracking with fracking, a controversial process in which pressurized fluids are pumped through rock formations, often a mile or more under the ground, to extract oil and gas. Critics condemn fracking, which they contend causes environmental harm, but even they agree that it's led to an abundance of cheap gas. Over the past six years, U.S. production of petroleum and natural gas has jumped from 15 million barrels of oil-equivalent a day to 20.1 million, a 20-year high. Over the same period, imports have fallen from 14 million barrels a day to below eight million, a 25-year low.
It's a sign of the times: Graduates from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology -- acceptance rate: 88%; mascot: Grubby the Miner -- now command a median starting salary 16% higher than that of Yalies.
By 2020, the U.S. will become the world's biggest oil producer, says the International Energy Agency. By 2025, North America will be a net energy exporter, predicts ExxonMobil XOM -0.9115884115884116% Exxon Mobil Corp.

That edge should remain ours for decades. "It isn't just the huge reserves we have underground," says Tim Parker, who manages T. Rowe Price's natural-resource stock portfolios. "No one else has our predictable cocktail of infrastructure already in place, know-how, a relative abundance of water, and a favorable royalty regime that give landowners a stake in the exploration game." Europe, for instance, is averse to fracking and has little infrastructure; Japan has hardly any shales; and while China has vast reserves, only shales nudging the Yangtze River have enough water for fracking.
Of course, an especially frigid winter could send gas prices soaring, but any such spike should be temporary. Given our expanding reserves and record inventory, commodity strategists expect U.S. natural gas to stay between $3 and $5 per million BTUs for years -- well below prices abroad.
CHEAP GAS ISN'T THE ONLY booster in our tank. In the decade since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, that nation has become Earth's low-cost factory. But wages and benefits there are rising 15% to 20% a year, while they're stagnant here. Despite Beijing's efforts to hold it down, the yuan has gained 33% against the dollar since 2005. Industrial land averages $10.22 a square foot across China, but rises to $11.15 in the coastal city of Ningbo and $21 in Shenzhen -- compared with $1.30 to $4.65 in Tennessee and North Carolina. "Within five years, the total cost of producing many products will be only about 10% to 15% less in Chinese coastal cities than in parts of the U.S. where factories are likely to be built," says Hal Sirkin, a senior partner at Boston Consulting Group. Add duties and shipping, and the cost gap shrinks further.
Location-scouting manufacturers also are looking beyond mere costs. Moving part of their supply chains closer to the U.S. -- still the world's biggest consumer market -- helps companies react faster to changes and also speeds innovation, says Gary Pisano, a Harvard Business School professor. Adds Robert McCutcheon, who heads PricewaterhouseCoopers' U.S. industrials practice: "You protect not just the intellectual property of your products, but your processes as well."
Companies, of course, won't completely shutter overseas factories. U.S. corporate taxes are still high, compared with many other countries', and there's a limit to how many jobs will return, given advances in automation and productivity. But BCG's Sirkin conservatively estimates that 2.5 million to five million jobs will be added by 2020, which could shave two to three percentage points from our unemployment rate, now near 7.8%. We'll also expand exports, at the expense of higher-cost developed rivals, such as Germany and Japan. And U.S. ports stand ready and idle, operating at just 54% of capacity, well below 59% in Europe, 67% in Latin America, and 76% in Southeast Asia.
Busier factories would help the entire country. For every dollar spent on manufacturing, another $1.48 is added to the economy, says the National Association of Manufacturers. Another bonus: Manufacturers account for two-thirds of what the private sector spends on research and development.
And we've only just begun: Abundant gas and a weak dollar are long-term trends, and U.S. wages should behave until unemployment falls well below 6%, says Jeffrey Korzenik, chief investment strategist at Fifth Third Private Bank. "Offshoring had gone on for decades, but the re-shoring trend is only in year two or three."
Here are eight stocks that should benefit:
Southwestern Energy swn 2.5089605734767026% Southwestern Energy Co. U.S.: NYSE USD8.58 0.21 2.5089605734767026% /Date(1455141618796-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10388055 AFTER HOURS USD8.58 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 227255 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3218089218.69518 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1165410 More quote details and news » (SWN)
Cheap energy is a boon for manufacturers, but a curse for exploration companies, and investors are shunning the producers most exposed to slumping gas prices. With 99% of Southwestern's production and reserves in natural gas, you'd think the Houston company's managers would be anxiously sweating over prices near decade lows.
But they aren't. That's because Southwestern is a highly efficient, low-cost producer. It works its 926,000 acres in the Fayetteville shale with operational aplomb, using dense wells, some of its own rigs, and vertically integrated services. The company has another 187,000 acres in the Marcellus shale. At $34, its shares trade at a small premium to its gassy peers but still a discount to its net asset value.
Ken Settles, who co-manages the RS Global Natural Resources Fund, expects gas prices to hit $5 to $6 eventually. "But the benefit of focusing on a low-cost producer is that, even with gas prices below sustainable long-term levels, Southwestern's assets are still profitable and creating value for its owners."
Southwestern plans to increase 2013 production by 11% to 13%, and analysts see its per-share profit climbing 19% this year. Earnings will grow even more if natural-gas prices rally, but you won't sweat waiting for that to happen.

Chemical makers guzzle energy and also rely on byproducts from oil and gas purification -- stuff like ethane, butane, and propane -- for raw materials. So the shale boom delivers a double blessing of cheap feedstock and energy. In fact, PwC thinks that we might start seeing more plastic-based substitutes for materials like metal, glass, or wood.

Still, Tim Parker of T. Rowe Price says that the narrower profit margins of more commoditized base-chemical companies might see a bigger boost from the new world order of cheaper feedstock and energy. His pick: LyondellBasell.
Since the Rotterdam-based company emerged from bankruptcy in April 2010, its New York-listed shares have climbed 184%. The shares, recently trading at $62, fetch 10.7 times 2013 profits. LyondellBasell's management team is boosting earnings and returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends. The stock yields 2.6%. And net profit margins of 5.6% trump the 3.7% average of its peers. With new capacity, cheap feedstock and $14 billion in free cash flow, it can earn $10 a share by 2016 and become a $100 stock, Deutsche Bank analyst David Begleiter maintains.

Steel-making isn't just another energy-intensive business. Steel pipes and products are integral to energy exploration and transportation, not to mention manufacturing and construction. With 99% of its revenue earned in America, Nucor, the largest U.S. minimill operator and metals recycler, is well-hitched to that energy and manufacturing boom.
The steel industry is vexed by excess capacity, and its volatile stocks surge or slide with temperamental economic data. So it helps that Nucor is more defensive than its peers. Wells Fargo steel analyst Sam Dubinsky favors it over the long haul, "due to its lean cost structure and product diversity, both of which have resulted in earnings at the high head of the peer group." Nucor also is most levered to the bottoming construction market. A healthy balance sheet and a 3.1% dividend yield further burnish the appeal of its stock, recently at $47.78.

Is the U.S. really ready to make more things again? The average age of our manufacturing plants is 15.5 years, while our equipment has been around almost six years. Both are near five-decade highs. "Old equipment and manufacturing plants suggest the need for a large replacement cycle," writes ISI. Over the next five years, the research firm expects capital expenditure's share of the economy to rise from 10.2% to 14%, putting it near its early 1980s peak. That's good news for Dover. The conglomerate makes a vast array of industrial products -- from refrigeration systems and specialty pumps to drill bits and bar-code equipment -- making it a proxy for our manufacturing boomlet.
Compared with other economically sensitive stocks, Dover is more diverse and more stable. Management has allocated capital shrewdly, making acquisitions, buying back shares, and lifting return on capital to 12.4% -- a decade high. Dover has a 2.1% dividend yield, and its 9.7% profit margin trumps the sector's average. Yet its shares, at $67, trade at 12.8 times 2013 profits, a discount to the market and other machinery stocks.

Calpine is the largest independent U.S. producer of gas-powered electricity, and runs some of the newest, most efficient plants. Just six years ago, nearly half the nation's power came from coal. But gas' share has swiftly risen from a fifth to a third, while coal's has waned.
The ongoing switch to cleaner natural-gas-generated electricity is one reason why Barron's has been bullish about the stock (see "Calpine Gets Ready to Light Up," July 23, 2012). The company also has unused capacity that puts it in the driver's seat as utilities replace decades-old coal plants.
At first blush, that advantage seems well reflected in the shares, which, at $19, fetch 27.6 times 2013 profit estimates of 69 cents a share. But that seemingly lofty multiple is below its median over the past five years, and Calpine is generating more than $1 a share in free cash flow and continuing to pay down debt. "When power prices are low, Calpine benefits by taking market share from less-efficient producers," says MacKenzie Davis, who co-manages the RS Global Natural Resources Fund. "But it also benefits if power prices rise, since margins and cash flow will improve."

Energy can account for nearly 70% of the cost of producing fertilizer, and Jack Ablin, BMO Private Bank's chief investment officer, singles out CF Industries as a big beneficiary of plentiful natural gas.
The company, which produces nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers, earns 85% of its revenue in the U.S. Shares of Deerfield, Ill.-based CF, at $226, have outrun their peers and climbed 73% over the past two years, the latest leg coming as drought sent corn and soybean prices soaring. Fearful that cyclical earnings have peaked, analysts are downgrading the stock, and investors fret that margins and share buybacks will suffer as management spends $3.8 billion to expand its nitrogen capacity.
But any pullback is an opportunity for long-term investors. Cheap gas costs should keep operating margins near a record 50.1%. Tight corn supplies, low water levels in the Mississippi, and a still-dry Corn Belt should support grain and fertilizer prices, and CF's investment-grade credit rating and low debt let it borrow money cheaply should it need to. Its stock trades at just 8.2 times what CF earned over the past 12 months, well below the 12.3 times median since it went public in 2005.

So why aren't American drivers enjoying a bigger windfall at the pump? For one thing, global demand dictates gasoline prices. After decades of ferrying imported oil, our infrastructure also needs to be re-oriented toward redistributing domestically produced natural gas. That benefits master limited partnerships that operate pipelines, and for investors who want to avoid MLPs' complex tax-filing regimes, their parent companies.
Williams gathers and transports natural gas, and owns 78% of its namesake MLP, Williams Partners WPZ 5.882352941176471% Williams Partners L.P.

It has diverse assets, pays a 3.9% yield, and thrives as demand increases for natural-gas processing and infrastructure.
However, 2012 was the first year in the past 13 in which MLP returns trailed the overall stock market's, thanks to weak gas prices, tax concerns, and profit-taking after years of gains.
Williams Partners, which sports a 6.6% yield, fell 22%. Shares of its parent also struggled after it issued stock to help finance a complicated $2.25 billion investment in privately held Access Midstream Partners and the MLP it controls.
Still, the deal boosts Williams' position in the Utica and Marcellus shales, and adds steady fee income that tempers Williams' exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. Investors fret that Williams, which trades at $34, may have to raise more money, but cash flow of about $1.6 billion this year exceeds the adjusted net income of $816 million that Wall Street expects and should more than cover payouts, letting Williams deliver on its promise to increase dividends at a 20% annual rate through 2015.

But the king of rail remains Union Pacific.
Spawned 150 years ago, after Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act, Union Pacific's dense network blankets the map west of the Mississippi. Stephens' transportation analyst Brad Delco flags Union Pacific as one of the rail stocks most exposed to energy-intensive groups like autos, chemicals, and steel. It hugs the Gulf Coast, has the largest U.S. chemical franchise among rail carriers, and hogs 75% of the western U.S. traffic for assembled autos and parts. Its relative absence along the East Coast further shields it from coal's dying embers.
Union Pacific shares have run up 44%, to $133, over the past two years, nearly twice as much as the rail group has. But the stock trades at 14 times projected profits, a small premium to its peers, and no higher than its own historical average. Management has lifted operating margins to a decade-high 36%. The stock boasts a 2.1% yield, and the company has paid a dividend every year since 1899, when the steam engine propelled the U.S. to its first industrial boom.

- Soften light with solar or cellular shades
- Curtains will block additional light seepage
Get rid of the distracting glare on your television screen with home theater curtains and blackout shades. Solar screen shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will uniformly soften light to minimize glare, while a blackout shade will completely darken the room. Please keep in mind that "blackout" only applies to light passing through the fabric and you may need to consider light going around the sides of the shade. Curtains are also a practical solution in this case and will be able to completely cover your existing blinds or shades. Solid shades will always be more effective at reducing glare than blinds with slats and holes that allow light to pass through.

I will never buy anything else. It it made so well. Installs like a dream. When you pull it down, it feel like it cost 500 dollars. There is nothing better. And on top of that, it diffuses the sunlight but does not block out the window. If you can't guess.....I love it.View this product

Okay, yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I completely, totally, utterly fucked up by sitting on my hands this past month. Though some good has come of it. But mostly a whole lotta nothing. For that I apologize to my adoring audience.
Anyway, here's how my month's been.
Got to hang out with and for a weekend of awesomeness.
Oh, Wii Music is fun, really. Not sure why it's got such a bad rep. Perhaps too many people are lumping it with Guitar Hero and Rock Band when it's not entirely like them at all. More creativity. And you learn things...
At the recommendation of and and , I've started watching episodes of Doctor Who. I freakin' love what I've seen. I'm so glad I get BBC America. What's great is that directly afterward, they played old James Bond films. It really doesn't get much better than that. The dynamic duo of David Tennant and Sean Connery. Badass.
I've thought about JOAP and I've had time to amend the plot for the next chapter beyond what I had planned at Christmas time. So that makes me happy that I didn't jump on things right away.
Also, I've been using my laptop more often since my PC fell ill, so I've done a few things to it I wouldn't have if my desktop were still 100%. Example: I've downloaded Open Office, which looks promising. Haven't used all of the features yet, but practically a working copy of Microsoft Office for free? Good deal.
But, yeah, so I can use PS again, and upload what I've had kickin' around since early December, I SWEAHTAGAWD I'll get my desktop clean again this week.

Oh wow, that looks great. Really good job with the sense of atmosphere!
Thanks man! Whats your wacom up to? And what would you say about your ultrasharp after some time?
The Ultrasharp is still serving me well! Handles anything I throw at it with flying colours, so to speak. Sad to say, I haven't really painted much digitally lately. I've spent the summer in southern Sweden taking a course in Écorché, artistic anatomy and sculpture, so it's mostly been traditional art for me. I uploaded a pic of my finished écorché to my gallery if you're curious. I'll be busy helping out with the welcoming period for the new students at campus for the next few weeks, but after that I really look forward to getting some digital painting done. Might upload a few sketches I made before that. The summer course was really amazing — I learned so much, and I got to spend almost all summer honing my artistic skills.
I checked that sculpture, shows you can put dedication into a project. Good to know you spend your summer in a productive manner.
this looks awesome

Sir Toby's is awesome! It's a little ways outside of downtown Prague, but still close enough for it to be quite easy to get in and out of the city. The staff are wonderful, especially Ivana, one of the bartenders :). My only complaint was that in one shower, there was no partition between the shower and the rest of the room, so the water from the shower would run across the washroom.

Overall a very good time, though we always slept in too late to make use of the breakfast. Only minor complaint was that the power outlet in our bathroom was dead.

Could 'CoCos' be a short seller's dream?
Last week, Royal Bank of Canada issued $1-billion with of "non-viable contingent capital" bonds, known most enjoyably as CoCos. Ideally, CoCos encourage investors to monitor banks for excess leverage. However, as new research shows, if the conditions are right, CoCos may provide an incentive to cheat.
Back in the heady days of 2008, a big problem in financial markets was that banks had too much debt and not enough capital. Governments spent lots of money to keep banks afloat.
The Basel III banking rules have a solution to this problem. In order for non-common share instruments to count as loss absorbing or Tier 1 capital, those instruments have to either be written off or converted into equity when the bank reaches the point of non-viability. CoCos are debt that converts to equity when a bank gets into trouble and, therefore, can be counted as Tier 1 capital.
In essence, on the occurrence of a "triggering event" - which is almost always either a regulator telling the bank it is no longer viable (a "regulatory trigger") or based on some change in the bank's debt-to-equity ratio (an "accounting trigger") - CoCos will convert to equity. The stocks will be issued at either a fixed price or the market price of the bank's shares, thereby giving the distressed bank a jolt of capital to absorb losses. This is why CoCos are often called "bail-in" debt; bondholders recapitalize troubled banks so governments don't have to.
There are some nice incentives here. CoCo investors will lose their bonds' yield if they get converted into equity . Therefore, CoCo investors should have better incentives to monitor a bank's leverage and suppress volatility than existing shareholders.
But not always. Research by Jingya Li and Mark Reesor of the University of Western Ontario and Adam Metzler of the Wilfrid Laurier University shows that certain CoCo structures offer investors very different incentives. Where the conversion price of the CoCo is based on the market price of the institution's common stock and the CoCo uses an accounting trigger, investors have an incentive to short the underlying shares in order to depress the share price prior to conversion. When the price of the underlying shares rebounds - either because CoCo investors have closed their short positions or because the share price returns to reflect fundamental value - the CoCo investors will see a return on their newly converted shares.
Depending on how close to conversion CoCo investors open their short, Ms. Li calculates the return to short-selling at conversion to be between 3.7 per cent and 7.8 per cent.
In other words, there's an incentive for CoCo investors to drive down the price of an institution's stock as conversion approaches, making an already precarious time for the bank even more dangerous. At worst, this could lead a financial institution into a death spiral, where falling price begets falling investor confidence making it prohibitively expensive for a bank to raise further capital.
Ms. Li's research shows that not all structures offer equal shortselling incentives.
CoCos that use a trailing average with a price floor for the conversion price would decrease short selling incentives. The trailing average would increase the conversion price above the suppressed price, while the price floor would cap the amount of profit short sellers could make.
Second, a regulatory trigger is more difficult for investors to game. Under the accounting trigger, an investor only needs to predict when a bank's publicly available leverage ratio will cross the triggering threshold. Under the regulatory trigger, regulators can time the conversion to thwart short-sellers.
On the above measures, the RBC issuance grades out pretty well. It uses a regulatory trigger and has a price floor.Still, the best solution to this issue appears to be a regulatory one.
Ms. Li's paper offers evidence that accounting triggers should be more closely scrutinized or, perhaps, prohibited. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions should think about mandating both a trailing average price and a floor price to limit short-selling incentives.
Regulation is hard, especially with new securities. But CoCos are a good idea, and RBC has come up with a good structure. OSFI should modify its guidance to make sure that CoCos help prevent the next crisis, not cause it.

This pathetic attempt to manipulate the unthinking into an overwhelming sense of guilt that forces them to capitulate may work on those with fewer IQ points than fingers, but it won't work on those with a third-grade education.
Cooper explains, "The only way insurance can work for everyone is if everyone is in the system so risk can be pooled. This one doesn't carry much weight yet, since the system isn't even operating. But as time passes, this will become an important norm — and for young people, the norm has outsized importance (older people already have a reason to get coverage; they get sick more easily). Getting insurance will be part of living in a decent society where everyone chips in when they can afford it, and free-riding is frowned upon — and over time, young people will come to see this as part of being a responsible citizen."
Those 108 words are an incredibly inefficient way of rephrasing "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
Cooper's appeal wouldn't be noteworthy were it a lone cactus in the desert, but it's not.
Also this week the buffoonish Ed Schultz, MSNBC's angry Fred Flintstone clone, mused about how God would feel about Obamacare. "I'll tell you what I think God thinks of the Affordable Care Act. It's a big amen!"
Not to be outdone in the office pool of idiocy, Charlie Brown's illegitimate child, Chris Matthews, had an offering on this theme. Matthews temporarily snapped out of his loving gaze while interviewing the president Thursday and put the cherry on top of one of this planet's worst displays of sycophantism to utter what was supposed to be a question: "You know, Mr. President, your — your remarks the other day on economic justice to me, as a Roman Catholic, was so resonant with what the Holy Father, Francis, has been saying. Talk about that common Judeo-Christian or, even further, Muslim background to the belief we have a social responsibility, a moral responsibility to look out for people who haven't made it in this country."
The one thing missing from these transparent attempts at manipulation is a basic understanding of morality. Morality is not set by government, laws are. Morality, like it or not atheists, stems from religion. It's not exclusive to it, but religion is the soil in which the seeds of morality were planted. And nowhere in the Bible or Qur'an does it say government should confiscate the fruits of one man's labor for the benefit of another.
True, the texts of our major religions do call for aiding our fellow man, but they do so as part of the religion, not a mandate for every human being.
Setting aside the gross bastardization of religion through the integration of communist tenets by these progressives, the most striking part of their appeal is its hypocrisy. These are the same people who spent the better part of the last half-century proclaiming "government can't legislate morality" on any issue remotely moral. Perhaps Chris "Roman Catholic" Matthews can explain where the Vatican changed its views on, say, abortion to dovetail with the progressive agenda? Probably not.
In nearly every way government has replaced religion in the progressive sphere. It is the grantor of rights, the arbiter of morality, the moderator of justice, the compass of true north. Government is the religion, and the agenda is God.
Any act done in service to the agenda is justified; the end is what matters, the means are irrelevant. That's how you rationalize selling big lies, known lies, to a public wanting to believe your snake oil is the cure for what ails them.Perhaps progressives were correct in their charge that religious zealots are the greatest threat to our liberty today. And if they want to see one of those zealots, they need only look in the nearest reflective surface.

Exteriors of this film were shot at May Irwin's summer home in the Thousand Islands, NY. Irwin, the most famous stage comedienne in America at the turn of the century, also appeared in the Broadway production of the play. Although some reviews call this Irwin's film debut, she previously appeared in the famous Edison short The Kiss in 1896 with John C. Rice, her co-star in the theatrical production of The Widow Jones from which the scene was taken.

My ex who I have 3 children with is deceased we were together 13yrs his sister is getting married but my boyfriend of 6yrs and father of my daughter feels it's not right to go
Braveheart4real 36-40, F 7 Answers 4 Mar 29, 2012
I can't imagine why your BF would have a problem with this.

Perhaps offer to let him sit this one out, if he's uncomfortable, and go without him.

It is certainly not wrong or disrespectful on your part.
Best Answer
Then go without him. If he makes a huge deal out of this reconsider the relationship. You were related to these people before you knew him. Anyone reasonable and emotionally-mature would understand that.
Best Answer
its not like there is bad blood between you and your former sil just talk to your bf hes just feeling insecure about the whole thing I would go if it was me

I conduct a path finding algorithm that searches for paths in three dimensional space. My idea is to split the space into polyhedrons and then search for paths through them.
I'm looking for a library with the following features:
Creating polyhedron from given range of vertices.
Fast determination which polyhedron the point is belonged to.
Fast determination whether the line passes through the polyhedron.
etc. (A number of functions like: Is this point in that polyhedron?)
PS I don't seek for 3D rendering library. Capabilities of rendering are not required at all. The only requirement for the library is fast performance.
