The Delaware Court of Chancery awarded roughly $2.3 million in attorney fees to the minority shareholders' counsel in the Orchard Enterprises merger litigation, based on the benefit created for the entire shareholder class. However, the court declined to award attorney fees to claimants who sought a related appraisal action, ruling their litigation sought only to benefit themselves, not all shareholders.
"If the same counsel had litigated a combined appraisal proceeding and plenary action from start to finish, I would have no difficulty awarding fees and expenses for the aggregate effort in both proceedings based on the total benefit conferred," said Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster in In re Orchard Enterprises Stockholder Litigation. "This decision awards $2,250,000 to plenary counsel for their role in creating the benefit. Because the appraisal claimants were content to pursue only their own interests and did not undertake to serve the interests of the class as a whole, they lack the standing to obtain a fee award for the appraisal counsel's role in creating the benefit."
An affiliate of private equity firm JDS Capital LP, Dimensional Associates LLC, acquired Orchard Enterprises, a music and video distributor, in 2010, according to court documents. Prior to the merger, Dimensional held roughly 42 percent of Orchard's common stock and 99 percent of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, granting the acquiring company 53 percent of Orchard's voting power.
The merger closed, granting Orchard stockholders the right to receive $2.05 per share, according to court documents. Certain shareholders initiated an appraisal action in the Chancery Court. While the appraisal proceeding was pending, Dimensional merged Orchard with a Sony Music Entertainment Inc. entity in a transaction valuing the company higher than $2.05 per share. In July 2012, then-Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr. ruled in In re Appraisal of Orchard Enterprises that Orchard's value was $4.67 per share.
After the merger closed but before Strine resolved the appraisal action, other Orchard stockholders retained different counsel to pursue fiduciary duty claims, identified in court documents as the plenary claims. The appraisal shareholders were aware of the plenary action, but did not seek to intervene or otherwise assist in the case, according to Laster's opinion.
In February, Laster ruled one of Orchard's proxy disclosures constituted a material misrepresentation and a trial would be held under the entire fairness standard of review, placing the burden of proof on the defendants. The plenary action was eventually resolved in April when the parties agreed to settle the case. Under the settlement, the plaintiff class dropped their claims in exchange for roughly $10.7 million. According to court documents, the settlement was allocated across all Orchard shareholders, including the appraisal claimants.
The plenary action shareholders filed a motion seeking to recoup attorney fees and expenses, but the appraisal claimants objected to the allocation of the settlement funds and the attorney fees request. In a motion, the appraisal claimants alleged their counsel's efforts contributed causally to the creation of the $10.7 million fund.
Laster rejected the appraisal plaintiffs' motion, ruling the plenary plaintiffs initiated the litigation and pursued claims based on the merger between Orchard and Sony and were the only shareholders to raise fiduciary duty claims related to disclosures.
"Plenary counsel deserves sole credit for the second tranche of settlement consideration," Laster said. "They alone pursued a rescissory damages claim based on the Orchard/Sony merger. The appraisal claimants did not seek discovery covering the time period when the Orchard/Sony merger took place. The appraisal claimants chose to rely exclusively on plenary counsel to prosecute the fiduciary duty claims in excess of $4.67 per share."
Plenary counsel requested roughly $3.3 million in attorney fees, or roughly 30 percent of the total settlement consideration, but Laster noted cases settling two months before trial, such as the Orchard litigation, typically generate attorney fees between 22.5 percent and 25 percent of the benefit conferred. The vice chancellor concluded a roughly $2.3 million award would fall comfortably within that range.
In denying the appraisal claimants' fee award, Laster said the appraisal plaintiffs only sought to create a benefit for themselves and not the class as a whole.
"In my view, however, the appraisal claimants lack standing to recover any amount because they did not pursue a classwide recovery on behalf of the other minority stockholders," the vice chancellor said. "They were content to serve themselves and they should be left where they stand."
Laster compared the appraisal plaintiffs to hostile bidders, noting the Chancery Court typically denies fees to such plaintiffs. "A court of equity can deny a plaintiff standing to receive a fee award, regardless of whether the plaintiff otherwise can establish a prima facie case supporting an award, if the plaintiff has proceeded in a manner designed to benefit the plaintiff individually … and any benefit achieved for the class has happened as an incidental by-product of the plaintiff's self-interested pursuit."
The plenary plaintiffs were represented by James R. Banko of Faruqi & Faruqi, Samuel J. Lieberman of Sadis & Goldberg and James S. Notis of Gardy & Notis.
Ronald A. Brown of Prickett, Jones & Elliott represented the appraisal plaintiffs.
Orchard and Dimensional were represented by Philip Trainer Jr. of Ashby & Geddes and Kenneth J. Pfaehler of Dentons US.
Brown and Banko did not return calls seeking comment.

On Twitter last night, someone said at Kevin Durant that he's the second best player on the Thunder now. Durant's response: "I'm cool with that!" He also tweeted, "It's all about wins at the end of the day plus he's my teammate I'm happy whenever he plays well! I jus wanna win thas all."
From ESPN Stats: "There's no shame in barely missing a triple-double, especially when you have the kind of performance Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had in a triple-overtime win over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night. Westbrook's [38] points, 15 rebounds and nine assists made him the first player to at least reach those benchmarks this season. A check of Basketball-Reference.com shows he's one of only two guards to do that since 1990, Vince Carter being the other in 2006-07."
Susan Bible with a great Serge Ibaka piece: "Born September 18, 1989, in the city of Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo, to basketball-playing parents, Ibaka, one of 18 children, lived through poverty with no electricity or running water, or even food, at times. By the age of fourteen, he had lived through civil unrest in his country, his mother's untimely death and his father's political imprisonment. The one constant was his love of basketball. He learned the game on worn outside courts wearing sneakers with cardboard inserts to cover holes in the soles."
KD is expected to play Friday in Toronto.
Chris Sheridan of ESPN: "The focus afterward was on what point guard Russell Westbrook pulled off offensively in the third overtime, scoring all 13 of Oklahoma City's points. What was secondary, but ultimately equally important, was the way he played defense — how softly he played it, actually — in the final 6.8 seconds of that third extra period. After Westbrook went to the line and scored his 12th and 13th points of the third overtime to put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead of the New Jersey Nets 123-120, the Nets were out of timeouts and had to go the length of the court to attempt a game-tying 3. And as point guard Jordan Farmar (career-high 28 points) dribbled the ball upcourt just a teeny bit slower than full speed, Westbrook laid off him."
Someone else making noise about Westbrook being OKC's best player.
Westbrook's lovely putback:
PBT: "It wasn't the prettiest of wins. But without Durant, in a game they should have lost a few times over, you take it and don't look back. Call it gutty if you want. The Thunder are finding ways to win, not unlike what happened last year, and if they really are putting it together the rest of the West should be worried."
Nets Are Scorching: "But wait, there's more ugly. How about the end of the first overtime, when the Nets had a chance to win at the buzzer and the best they could come up with on offense is a 22-footer from Lopez in the corner. Or the in the second OT, when Avery Johnson foolishly used the team's last timeout with the team up three and less than 5 seconds to play, only to see OKC's Jeff Green draw a foul on a THREE POINT SHOT by Stephen Graham (let's not even get into the fact that the stupid shot almost went in)."
Darnell Mayberry: "There is no doubt in my mind the Thunder should have fouled Anthony Morrow with 1.5 seconds remaining in regulation. The counter argument in that situation always is the risk of fouling a player while he's shooting, as evidenced by Stephen Graham sending Jeff Green to the line in the second OT. But when Morrow put the ball on the floor, taking one dribble before hoisting his game-tying runner, that presented a perfect time to wrap up Morrow well before he could get a shot off. As exciting as this triple-overtime thriller was, it should never have gotten to that point."

Silky soother
Reviewed: 25 April 2016 by TJme63, a Straight Going Steady Female
I received this FSOG cream as a freebie when I ordered Spanking knickers. The packaging is the usual classy branding with the other products in the same range.
When I opened the cream the smell was subtly light and delicious, not at all overpowering.
I used this shortly after a reasonably long spanking session and it was very cooling on the skin. There was no sting, just a silky smooth soothing. The cream was quickly absorbed into my red cheeks and there was no greasy residue on my skin. This after spank cream was cooling but not cold.
This cream did not dry my skin as some heavily perfumed creams can. It would easily be used by men as well as the fragrance is neither feminine or masculine... it is just fresh.
A small pot would go a long way as you don't need lots because it is a high-quality product. Cheaper creams would need to be reapplied but this cream keeps the skin soothed and smooth for much longer.
I also use this cream to soften my hands if they get very dry.
I will be buying more of this when this pot is running out.
- Pros
- Soothing and silky smooth.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Cooling in a pot.

Reviewed: 11 April 2016 by RoyalBlue30, a Straight Married Female
The Fifty Shades of Grey Soothe Me After Spanking cream was a free gift with another product that we purchased.
Not being a Fifty Shades Of Grey fan myself I would most probably have never bought this, but that would have been my loss!
The cream comes in a very classy black box and the cream in a black container with a silver top. It's lovely and thick and after a good spanking session it does the job! Smells amazing too.

- Smell and does the job.

- Excellent.

He's 6'9" with piercing blue eyes and a choirboy face, but all of that is beside the point to him. "I think being successful is attractive," says the 50-year-old writer. By that standard, he's now sitting pretty indeed, with Rising Sun, his novel about U.S.-Japanese tensions, a best-seller. It's hardly the first: 11 Crichton books, from 1969's The Andromeda Strain to his 1990 dinosaurs-run-amok epic Jurassic Park, have solidified his reputation as the king of the serious thriller.
In addition the Chicago-born Harvard Medical School graduate is a Hollywood hyphenate: screenwriter-director (Westworld, Coma). Crichton's accomplishments have come despite "a very awkward phase when I was 6'7" and 125 lbs." and a lengthy period of emotional leanness. "For a long time," he concedes, "my work life worked better than my personal life." But two women remedied that: fourth wife Ann-Marie Martin, 33, and his first child, daughter Taylor, 4. "Having a child has actually made me more productive," says Crichton, who recently finished scripting Steven Spielberg's version of Jurassic, set to roll in August. His next thriller may well dissect "relationships between the sexes, which have in many instances taken an extremely unpleasant turn." A tall order, but this man's up to it.

he Truth in Lending Act of 1968, requiring "full disclosure of the terms and conditions of finance charges in credit transactions," was an unlikely inspiration for the FAA to enact a regulation requiring a "truth in leasing" clause in aircraft leases.

Maybe you're an aircraft owner who'd like to offer transportation to a political candidate you support. Or perhaps you're a candidate who wants to grab a ride on a friend's business jet. Either way, you'd be well advised to do some homework first, regarding the federal and state rules that apply to such flights.
December 6, 2015
Understand FAA rules before accepting payment for a business jet flight. Compensation for flights is one of the most important concepts to consider when you're structuring the ownership and operation of a business jet. For the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the payment of compensation for air transportation usually makes a flight "commercial," which requires that it be conducted under a commercial certificate.

It's no secret that the FAA and IRS approaches to business aviation differ in important ways. This cleavage is especially evident in their respective treatment of related or affiliated groups of companies.

Business aviation is regulated and watched by an alphabet soup of government agencies—FAA, IRS, DOT, SEC, state authorities and others—that don't see eye-to-eye on key issues. A January 2015 federal District Court decision illuminates an excellent example: the disagreement between the IRS and FAA over who is providing transportation to whom.

Sometimes, when you want to send some message to your freind through MSN, but MSN limits the maximum lengths for each conversation. So, you may need to separate one message into different messages. It is very troublesome and time consuming.
So, TinyPaste may help us as it will store your message in the database, generate a short URL for you. After that, you just send the URL to your friend and they can view the original content through the URL.
TinyPaste will convert the text to Unicode format. so you can use it to store Chinese or even Japanese language text. I think this is really a good idea, but it is even better if user can encrypts the message.

Explore the Flavors of Myrtle Beach's Best Restaurants
By Terry Massey
Myrtle Beach Local Expert
Out of all the restaurants in a city, 10Best narrows the options to those places with the most appeal and the best reputations. We offer carefully vetted selections to let you explore Myrtle Beach dining on your own. If time is really tight, though, and you don't have the leisure to look through all our offerings, we present our Myrtle Beach Best Restaurants list. Here, we distill the best businesses down to a special selection of ten. These places promise a stellar experience and a taste of the city that you just can't miss. From Frank's Restaurant / Frank's Outback in Pawleys Island up to Sea Blue Restaurant in North Myrtle Beach and all points in between, hungry diners can't go wrong by visiting these cream-of-the-crop eateries. Whether it's seafood at the world-famous Sea Captain's House or aged prime beef at New York Prime, you and your taste buds will be happy at the end of each meal. Of course, there's more than just food on the menu at some of our featured selections. Collector's Cafe serves as an art museum for local and regional artists who display and sell their wares on the coffee house walls. At Gulfstream Cafe in nearby Garden City Beach, the art work is left up to Mother Nature, who paints a brilliant sunset nightly that can be seen from the back porch that overlooks scenic salt marshes and fishing boats pulling into Murrells Inlet to unload their fresh catches of the day. These are just a small sampling of the variety of dining options available in the Myrtle Beach area. Make a point to check out all the flavors of the Grand Strand.
The best Italian food in town comes in an unlikely location - a strip mall just off the beaten path of Restaurant Row. But once you enter the door it's like entering your Italian grandmother's home, with great food and friendly service that keeps locals and vacationers coming back time and again. Offering all the traditional Italian favorites, such as lasagna, linguini and clam sauce and ossobucco, Rossi's also specializes in nice cuts of beef and other meats that are seasoned and grilled to perfection. Rossi's also is a great place to make a full night out on the town by visiting the 88s Piano and Cigar Bar before or after dinner. (843-449-0481)
SeaBlue Restaurant & Wine Bar
SeaBlue is not your typical Grand Strand restaurant. This modern eatery seems to have been plucked from the trendy section of a major city and placed in the middle of North Myrtle Beach. Unique blue and green lighting set the mood for a romantic meal, and the food does not disappoint. Sea Blue uses fresh seafood and meats mixed with the best possible ingredients to create a menu filled with masterpieces. Offering a tapas menu, SeaBlue is a great place for couples to share dishes and order several different meals to get the full experience. The bar also makes some special mixed drinks and coffees. (843-249-8800)
The Library
Inside one of the older buildings in the downtown district resides a hidden gem that has been drawing loyal, repeat customers since 1974. Offering traditional European and Continental cuisine, The Library has a classic atmosphere with a menu to match. Try the house-favorite Steak Diane, Strip Au Poivre or Sweetbreads, served by tuxedo-clad maitre d's providing excellent tableside service. With a menu that offers some old classics and some new, creative cuisine, everyone in your party will find something they love on this menu. Best of all, the service at the Library is second to none, giving customers the royal treatment with every visit. (843-448-4527)
Greg Norman's Australian Grill
The famed golfer shows he also has a flair for food at his namesake restaurant, which brings the flavors from the Land Down Under to the coast of South Carolina. Sample dishes native to his country, like the pan-seared prawns, grilled rack of lamb and the Brisbane-seasoned filet, along with American classics. Norman traveled millions of miles during his golf career and his restaurant is a reflection of some of his favorite dishes and experiences. Located on the Intracoastal Waterway, Norman's provides a romantic, candle-lit atmosphere to go with its world-class food and drink - the ideal place to take a date. (843-361-0000)
Mr. Fish Seafood Market & Grill
Mr. Fish has relocated to a new, more spacious location but still features the same great food thousands have come to know and love. The new, multi-room establishment is the latest creation of Mr. Fish, aka Ted Hammerman, and daughter Sheina. He is a famous fisherman among locals while her background is in the restaurant industry, so they make a great team in providing quality seafood in a casual and comfortable environment. The restaurant expanded due to popular demand, and now separate rooms serve as a sushi station and full bar bar. But you can order off the same delicious menu in any room, and the shrimp and grits, fish tacos and crab cakes are popular items. The sushi and she-crab soup are also top-selling items. (843-839-3474)
Sea Captain's House
This former oceanfront guest house became a temporary restaurant during renovations back in 1962. More than a half-century later, the Sea Captain's House is still serving award-winning dishes and offering excellent views of the Atlantic Ocean. Southern hospitality and cooking collide with fresh seafood at this tradition-rich establishment. From their famous seafood platters to their traditional Southern favorites like shrimp and grits, the Sea Captain's House offers a wide variety of dishes and flavors, even for those who don't like seafood. But the best part of the Sea Captain's House is the real estate - location, location, location. Visitors can enjoy three meals a day and the best ocean view on the Strand. (843-448-8082)
Bistro 90
Bistro 90 is a bit off the beaten path but well worth the trip if you're looking for outstanding cuisine in a romantic atmosphere. Located in the tiny community of Longs, between North Myrtle Beach and Conway on Highway 90, this eatery got its name (or at least its number) from the seldom-traveled highway about 10 miles from the coast. But the secret is out about this hidden jewel as locals and visitors alike are learning about Bistro 90. Featuring traditional Italian dishes, prime cuts of beef that are aged on site and fresh seafood selections, the menu is diverse and delicious. Lunch is also available and nightly specials are recommended. (843-390-5151)
Collector's Cafe
Part art museum and part restaurant, Collector's Cafe serves classic American cuisine worthy of a work of art. Fresh seafood and chops are the centerpieces on a diverse menu that includes lobster, yellow fin tuna, and filet medallions topped with lump crab meet and a creamy bernaise sauce. Creative dishes and daily specials allow patrons to try some artistic twists on traditional menus. Making use of fresh seafood and cuts of prime beef, Collector's makes it tough to choose just one dish from an extensive menu. Doubling as an art gallery, Collector's also offers a romantic atmosphere for those looking for a nice night out. (843-449-9370)
Frank's Restaurant / Frank's Out Back
Experience South Carolina Lowcountry cuisine and Southern hospitality under one roof - and beyond. Located in the historic seaside village of Pawleys Island, Frank's has earned such a reputation for its steaks and chops, shrimp and grits and other signature dishes that it expanded to form Frank's Outback, featuring outdoor seating under the stars and twisting live oaks. The more casual Frank's Out Back features the same classic American dishes with an emphasis local seafood, plus unique items, like the tasty wood-fired pizzas. The daily specials are to die for, offering fresh catch seafood creations and prime cuts of beef. (843-237-3030)
New York Prime
Enjoy the taste of an authentic, Lower Manhattan steakhouse in the heart of Myrtle Beach at New York Prime, which features first-class service and USDA-certified prime beef. Grilled Chilean sea bass is available for those with a taste for seafood, but beef is what New York Prime does best. Using only aged cuts, New York Prime prepares your steak to your specifications. Also famous for its a la cart menu, side items such as a giant baked potato or a plate of sauteed mushrooms and onions make for the perfect compliment to a great meal. Be sure to check out the wine list. (843-448-8081)
About Terry Massey
It's no surprise that journalist Terry Massey is credited with creating the word 'stay-cation.' He considers the past 18 years in Myrtle Beach a vacation. He and his wife Stephanie were honeymooning in Myrtle Beach, when Terry was offered a job at the local newspaper. Without hesitation, they packed a U-Haul with their belongings - including unopened wedding gifts - and moved to the beach. They now have a daughter, Riley, a golden retriever, Duff, and their roots are deeply grounded in the sand. After 13 years at the newspaper, Terry became a freelance writer to cover all the things that brought him to the beach.

During a recent interview on Fox & Friends, Governor Rick Perry invited President Obama to the Texas border to see the crisis first hand. Obama will already be in Dallas and Austin this Wednesday and Thursday for fund raising activities.
"If the President is really serious about securing the border, we can show him how to do that," said Perry.
He continued, ""If he doesn't come to the border, I think it's a real reflection of his lack of concern of what's really going on there."

Following up the Panzer Bear experiment last issue, I encountered Pig Men on Digital Orc. So, why not do a similar trick and give it another Dark Dungeon spin?
Armour Class: 1 (fat leathery skin)
Clobbering Fists 5 (weapon class 1)
Numbers: 1 to 6
"Hogs and men are genetically closer than apes and men" the wizardress Circe said. And she demonstrated how close they were by transforming Ulysses' men into hogs. Or more specifically into hog men. Aggressive, boisterous, rude, fat and dead ugly creatures. Their minds were completely gone, and all they enjoyed was filth, violence and horror.
Some say Ullyses talked Circe in returning his men back to normal. Others say he saw little difference from what his men were before, and he still sails the seven seas in his ghostly ships, and his murderous crew of... the hog men.
Thanx to Dylan for the first creepy idea.

'Beverages', in New Martinsville, can be any liquid for drinking apart from water. Beverages can be alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Tea, coffee, milk, juice are few of the non-alcoholic beverages. An alcoholic beverage is a drink that comprises alcohol, which is also known as ethanol. It is also known as hard drink. Simultaneously lemonade, squash, iced-tea, soda, etc. are commonly known as soft drinks or beverages. Hot beverages are those which are preferred to be served hot, such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate and milk. Beverages are generally measured in ounce, nip or pony, dash, tablespoon, jigger, pint, etc. Although most of the beverages, including juice, soft drinks, and hard drinks, have some form of water in them, water itself is not considered as a beverage. Water has been proven many times as life nourishing drink for all human beings. Many times in New Martinsville, alcoholic beverages are consumed during major daily meals like lunch and dinner. During winter, strong alcoholic beverages such as vodka are popularly seen as a post or pre-meal beverage.
Biofuel: Food In, Fuel Out, But Is It The Answer We're looking For?
(Long Island, NY) In today's environmentally-conscious worldview that is being shared by more and more people, alternative fuel sources are the Holy Grail of the "green" movement. There are many new ways to eschew hydrocarbon-laden gasoline when it comes to filling up your vehicle's tank at the pump, and one of the most oft-talked about are biofuels- mainly ethanol and..

See Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Rooney Mara and More as Iconic Movie Villains
If you ever wonder what purpose a company like The New York Times serves in an age dominated by the Internet, see the amazing documentary Page One: Inside the New York Times. If you don't have 90-minutes, but require instant evidence, take a gander at their latest video project.
Photographer/Filmmaker Alex Prager, whose work is influenced by the bold colors and sharp lighting of the golden age of film, teamed up with the NYT to wrangle 2011's biggest movie stars for a video shoot inspired by classic big screen villains. Brad Pitt, Gary Oldman, Rooney Mara, George Clooney, Jessica Chastain, Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst and a handful of others chip in to bring the videos to life, a collection that's artsy, a little silly and a ton of fun. The project is a nice tip of the hat to time-honored classics before this same group runs the Oscar race early next year. Leave it to the Times to class up the web.
Check out the videos over at the NYT Magazine site. Can you name all the movies/roles?

Themed commercial breaks focus on film
Cash-strapped British pubcaster Channel 4 has launched the first themed commercial break — the Orange Movie Zone.
The breaks, filled with movie trailers, started last week and will be broadcast every Tuesday to promote Orange Wednesdays, the telco's weekly offer of two-for-one cinema tickets for all Orange customers.
"Conventional wisdom suggests you shouldn't have clashing adverts in the same break but we wanted to do something completely different and create a destination break that would become a genuine appointment to view," says C4 strategic sales group manager Peter Clark. "We know that cinemagoers love watching film trailers and by creating an ad break that's all about film, we believe we have created something innovative that viewers will genuinely enjoy watching."
The ad-break will be broadcast simultaneously on C4 and its digital channel E4 just before 7 p.m. and two hours later on Film4. It will also be broadcast as a pre-roll on selected programs on C4's video-on-demand platform 4oD.

How to preform a triangle choke
this is a video showing how you should do a triangle choke way you do a triangle choke.
YouTube - proper triangle choke
sweet....the way he talks reminds me of tito.....is that how you learned the move?
no I some one tought me
Dean is one helluva grappler, much respect to him. I guess this answers that question about how not to get slammed.
as i have said many times before angles are the key to ground fighting, as dean lister shows it.
about the slam, that angle works if they are closer to the same size. as i have said it before i did have an angle on him, my angle was at such a degree that my ear was at his ankle & i had it trapped with my forearm and wrist hooking it, but his size and strength advantage clearly showed. i am, 135lbs my teammate is 225. there is a bit if a size diffrence. now find someone 90lbs lighter than you, show them how to stop the slam, and see if you can pic them up. if you are anything close to being in shape you should be able to do this.
One of the things that Dean does is he keeps his body at a distance so his opponent can't get his hips under him to get a full lift on him. It keeps your opponent off of his center and tipping over. I guess this is how Dean defends against the slam, and it looks like it works.
Ahhh... The Sankaku-jime. One of my favorite finishing holds. It's also one of the harder ones for me to hook on a lot of the guys I roll with due to the fact that I've got shorter/thicker legs. It's just real hard to lock it (foot behind knee) properly sometimes.
I believe I broke this one down with additional vids in my Submission Showcase thread on this post here. I think I have another instructional vid, with a few finishes using the Triangle there also.
i understand about you lack of understsanding what i am talking about due to your aikido backround, but i thought you have bjj and submission wrestling too... wow what did they teach you in ground work???
Where Ironman's description points out that by creating a distance from the opponent and keeping his body line off center would help from getting slammed (probably via dakiage/high hip-lift, aka "powerbomb") because their center of balance is off. Now this can be done by actually shoulder-crawling away from your opponent (which Ironman didn't explicitly post), or by (in your post) "shifting his body yo his right" to upset the opponent's balance and tighten the triangle.
In either case, you should not be directly underneath the opponent because you'll be in a position where their posture/center of gravity will allow them to slam you (as applied under the principle of dynamics). By moving away or off to the side, you take away your opponent's center of gravity making them off-line and unbalanced (via kuzushi) helping prevent the slam.
Lastly, I will agree that the size difference definitely matters in this case. With someone closer to your own size/weight, the adjustments will go a lot farther to upset their balance/center of gravity. With a larger opponent, they have more leverage and outright strength to compensate for that.
Onganju..... that sucks, you take the fun out of debates...

|Tips on avoiding type 2 diabetes
(NAPSI)—As you get older, your risk for health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, increases.
You also have a greater chance of getting type 2 diabetes if you have a family history of the disease. But it's never too late to lower your risk for type 2 diabetes. Research shows that modest weight loss through healthy eating and being active can help to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people over age 60.
If you are overweight, losing 5 to 7 percent of your current body weight can help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. If you weigh 200 pounds, this means a weight loss of about 10 to 14 pounds. Talk to your doctor about setting safe weight loss goals and ways to be more active.
Once you set your goals, decide what small steps you will take to get started. For example, you might say, "I will walk for 10 minutes after lunch to be more active each day" until you reach at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
There are many ways you can get active at little or no cost, such as walking or doing chair exercises. Find an activity you can enjoy so you can stay at it. This will make it easier to stick to your plan and reach your goals. Try these ideas:
• Around the house: Things that you do every day can help you be more active. Stand up from a chair and sit down again without using your hands. Rise up and down on your toes while standing and holding on to a stable chair or countertop. When you watch TV, stretch and move around during commercial breaks. You can also walk around the house when you talk on the phone. Follow along with a video for older adults that shows you how to get active.
• Around town: Being more active can also be a great way to meet friends. Join a local walking group. Always walk in safe places such as the mall, museum or a community center. Wear shoes that fit your feet and provide comfort and support.
• While running errands: Make getting active a part of your regular day. If it is safe, park the car farther away from stores or restaurants. If you take the bus or train-and the area is safe-get off a stop earlier and walk the rest of the way.
• With your family: Get your family involved to make being active more fun. Teach the younger people in your life the dances you enjoy. Plan a trip to the local pool and go for a swim together. Moving around in the water is gentle on your joints.
• Get outside: When you can, get active outside. Take care of a garden or wash your car. Enjoy a brisk walk with friends or family around a park, museum or zoo.
For more tips to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, download or order the "It's Not Too Late to Prevent Diabetes. Take Your First Step Today" tip sheet or "Small Steps. Big Rewards. Your Game Plan to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes: Information for Patients" booklet from the National Diabetes Education Program at www.YourDiabetesInfo.org

Park commissioners focused on two major projects at Centennial Park during Wednesday's meeting.
Overshadowing his concerns regarding the restrooms at the park, Commissioner Terry Hoopes acknowledged from the outset that he was talking about "a big issue."
That is the basketball and tennis courts that were crumbling with grass growing between the cracks.
Hoopes said he asked a tennis instructor about the court's condition and was advised that moisture seeped up through the cracks creating slick spots on the south end. Hoopes said the instructor noted it was a safety issue.
"It can be very slippery and some people have played there and told me it's 'dangerous,'" Hoopes said.
"Something has to be done," he said adding that, "I know it's expensive, but there comes a point where you can't ignore it any longer ... grass is coming up."
Parks Director Steve Faber said, "If you're talking about safety, maybe we need to do what we did with the baby pool and close them," a reference to the nearby pool that Commissioner Lucille Karnofel wanted action on.
Hoopes said he asked the instructor about closing the courts and he said "no."
Hoopes said, "I hadn't realized they were getting so out of control."
Karnofel asked about the last time the courts were resurfaced and Faber didn't pinpoint a year he noted it was "$125,000 last time ... if you're talking about recoating we may be back to $125,000 if they're coming apart." He said the courts were ground up and resurfaced.
Hoopes said, "I don't want it closed down, but don't want a safety issue" and suggested obtaining another opinion.
"I just think it's something we have to address down the line ... there are tough decisions on what we're going to do with our money ... it's just a concern and if there's a way we can address it ..."
Commission President John Panezott said, "Why don't we have someone come out and look at it? We may not have to grind it up."
Parks Supervisor Shane Franks put the question out: Resurface or repair? There's a big difference, he said.
Faber agreed with hiring someone but said they should look at both the tennis and basketball courts.
"I understand it's a huge undertaking," Hoopes said and Karnofel said, "We have to maintain what we have, otherwise people will stop coming."
Both Panezott and Karnofel said they would go out and inspect the courts.
Panezott said, "We work on a shoestring budget for six parks, but this is major."
No action was taken and Faber said any repairs should include the basketball and tennis courts together.
Earlier, Karnofel said the baby swimming pool was "unsightly" and wanted it filled in with dirt and landscaped "to make it look better."
Faber said the pool has been closed for about five or six years.
Karnofel said, "It looks pretty bad to me, why not fill it in with dirt, we need to get realistic."
Faber said there was more to the issue, like a health inspector and meeting the required safety codes.
"Approvals are needed, it's not a simple thing," he said, explaining they can spend $1,800 to $2,000 for a flow meter not in code and upwards of $6,000 to get it to code.
He added, "If we take it (the pool) out, it will never come back."
Karnofel said, "Just fill it in with dirt."
Faber said, "I doubt you can just do that ... you'll probably have to cap some lines."
Panezott said, "A lot of work is in that pool. I've had a lot of complaints about the baby pool ... why isn't it going ... real small kids use it. I'd like to see something done.
"A lot of people who had something to do with putting it in wouldn't like it (filled in)."
Hoopes said, "Fill it in, it's gone forever. I always had a hope to fix it up and use it."
Karnofel said, "Realistically, it doesn't look like it will happen ... use it as a planter box."
Panezott said, "something should be done. I've complained about it for quite a few years. What's the problem? Let's get it resolved."
Also, Hoopes had expressed concern about the Centennial Park restrooms.
"They look really bad, I'd like something done. I'm sure we can improve it."
In other business, Park Foreman Jim Grimm said his department has been mowing grass, trimming flower beds and rolling the Centennial Park grass flat after the antique show.
Franks said men's basketball and church-league softball will be wrapping up and fall league softball will start soon.

Tiny, unwelcome guests could be setting up house and climbing into bed with unsuspecting Alabama residents.
Bedbugs are back.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a joint statement in August confirming what some travelers and pest control companies already knew -- the blood-sucking ectoparasites are causing problems across the country, with the number of reported cases reaching hundreds of thousands.
"For years and years you didn't hear of anybody with bedbug issues," said Sallie Lee, a Jefferson County urban extension agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. "With an increase in international travel, we are seeing many of the problems center on cities with international airports."
>> Bedbugs are small, flat insects that feed on the blood of people and animals.
>> They can live several months without a blood meal.
>> They tend to live within 8 feet of where people sleep.
>> Bedbugs are experts at hiding and live in places such as seams of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, cracks or crevices, behind wallpaper and under clutter.
>> Bedbugs are transported from place to place as people travel, usually in folds of luggage or clothes.
>> They are not known to transmit disease.
>> Controlling an infestation is challenging, especially in multi-family dwellings.
>> Bedbugs have developed pesticide resistance through the years, with some bedbugs resistant to almost all pesticides registered to treat them.
Source: Joint Statement on Bed Bug Control in the United States from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Bedbugs can live for months without a meal, Lee said. They can hide in suitcases and make their way across the country, even into Alabama.
"We do not know of any outbreaks here," Lee said. "However, that does not mean they are not here. When you bring your suitcase back from anywhere, you have the opportunity of bringing home uninvited little critters."
Lee gets about 18 calls about possible bedbugs from Jefferson County residents each year, about half of which are legitimate bedbug problems.
Professional pest control companies have noticed a sharp increase in bedbug infestations for the past nine years, with the number of cases increasing each year, said Martha Craft, spokeswoman for Rollins, Inc., the parent company for Orkin and other pest control companies.
She said an increase in travel and a lack of bedbug knowledge play roles.
"People don't know what bedbugs are anymore," Craft said. "Back in the '30s and '40s everybody knew what a bedbug looked like. Everybody knew bedbugs were great hitchhikers. They love seams of mattresses, seams of clothes, anywhere seams occur. They can hitchhike not only on clothes, but suitcases, camera bags, purses ..."
Hotels are an obvious risk, she said.
"When is the last time you checked into a hotel and then pulled back the sheets and checked for bedbugs?" Craft said. "I do it everywhere I go."
Blood meal
Bedbugs are small, flat insects that feed on the blood of sleeping people and animals, according to information from the CDC and EPA. They are reddish-brown, wingless and about the size of an apple seed.
One of the easiest ways to identify a bedbug infestation is by bite marks that appear on the face, neck, arms, hands and any other body part. These marks may take as long as 14 days to develop in some people.
When bedbugs bite down, they inject an anesthetic and an anticoagulant that usually prevents a person from feeling the bite, according to the CDC and EPA.
Bedbugs can cause a variety of health issues, although they are not known to carry disease. The most common reaction to a bedbug bite is a slightly swollen area that itches like a flea or mosquito bite. Some people may develop a mild to severe allergic reaction to the bite, or a secondary infection such as impetigo. Infestations also can cause anxiety and insomnia, according to the CDC.
The Alabama Department of Public Health does not keep track of bedbug infestations in the state. They refer all bedbug cases and calls to the Cooperative Extension System.
Lee said she recommends a combination of professional treatment, house cleaning and a new mattress, in many cases.
Many professional pest control companies advise against people buying and using pesticides on their own, especially since some bedbugs are known to be resistant to almost all pesticides registered to treat them.
Craft said the companies can use heat treatments, raising the temperatures in a room to 120 to 130. "That kills live insects and eggs and larva," she said.
Both Lee and Craft said controlling a bedbug infestation will not be easy, but it is best to catch the problem early.
"We suggest that people get rid of the clutter, vacuum and throw out the bag. It doesn't work to vacuum a room and then leave the vacuum cleaner full of bedbugs in the closet. They will just crawl back out," Craft said.

Is there anything sadder than boneless, skinless chicken breast? I can't believe I cooked that for dinner. Blech. My plan was to cook chicken and rice for The Man and have a leftover pastured lamp chop and beet greens for myself. But the breast was so big it would have made too many leftovers. So I skipped the pastured lamb chop. Then The Man took most of the beet greens! I thought for sure it would be beet green fake-out and he'd take one look at that and skip it. The chicken breast nothingness was cooked in peanut satay sauce. Not exactly the most paleo of meals. I had this desperate feeling while eating it that what I really needed was lard. Real animal fat. Instead I ate a bunch of raw almonds and felt even more depressed.
Things just aren't going all that well. I feel so fat. I don't know if it was the month of low carb, high fat finally catching up to me and giving me a big blubbery belly or if it's the more recent salads and running. Or maybe it's that I've been having lots of cream or butter in my coffee and trying not to have any real breakfast until mid-morning or later. I've had zits. I've had intestinal problems. My feet have been peeling all over. My muscles are sore and I'm fat. Ugh.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, was once the center of a bloody Civil War battle -- known as the 1863 "Battle Above the Clouds." The historic city has since become known for its year-round ghost tour, with numerous reports of ongoing paranormal activity. The Chattanooga area is also home to a few reportedly haunted landmarks, some of which were built in the early 1900s and are listed with the National Register of Historic Places.
The Sheraton Read House Hotel
The Read House, as it is named in the National Register of Historic Places, is a twice-built property that was initially constructed in 1847. At that time it was known as the Crutchfield House and owned by a family of the same name. Union soldiers occupied the house during the Civil War, and as the legend goes, one of them brought a prostitute there in 1863 and ended up killing her in Room 311. In 1867, the Read House burned down and was rebuilt in the 1920s, reopening in 1926 as a public hotel. Room 311 is said to be the most haunted, but guests have also reported seeing reflections of ghostly apparitions and glowing orbs in the hotel's ballroom, which still has its original mirrors and chandeliers.
Delta Queen Hotel
Built in 1926, the Delta Queen steamship was used to carry overnight passengers from Sacramento to San Francisco for its first 13 years. It then became military barracks, a training facility and transport for the troops until the end of World War II. The ship was refurbished and began cruising again in 1948 with new owners Captain Tom Greene and his wife Letha. Captain Tom died on the ship from a heart attack in 1950, and his wife was said to be devastated, putting the boat up for sale some years later. In 2009 the Delta Queen was brought to Chattanooga, turned into a hotel and docked at Coolidge Park across from downtown. Chattanooga ghost hunters have investigated the ship and photographed orbs and an illuminated figure in one of the cabins. Reports indicate that the apparitions could be Captain Tom or his wife Letha.
Hale's Bar Dam Powerhouse
In the town of Guild, about 20 minutes outside of Chattanooga, Hale's Bar Dam Powerhouse was built in the early 1900s. It is said to be the first hydroelectric dam built over flowing water, which in the world of the paranormal is thought to be a conductor for spirit manifestation. Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures and SyFy's Ghost Hunters have investigated this historic property, and at the time of publication tours are given by Ghost Hunter Chattanooga. Reported paranormal activity includes sightings of full-body apparitions, orbs and electronic voice phenomenon, or EVP's.
Chattanooga Ghost Tours
Named one of the top 10 ghost tours in the U.S. by TripAdvisor, Chattanooga Ghost Tours offers year-round walking tours of downtown Chattanooga and other districts. Tours take place rain or shine and begin at the historic Walnut Street Bridge on the downtown side. Tour guests visit locations such as the Read House, Delta Queen Hotel at Coolidge Park, Citizens Cemetery and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. For an extra fee, tour guests can stop inside one of these haunted locations to perform an EVP or Ovilux X session, which allegedly allows ghosts to speak through supplied equipment.

"Texas Gov. Rick Perry unveiled plans on Thursday to place hundreds of surveillance cameras along the Rio Grande and stream the images to the Internet so computer users everywhere can help patrol the U.S.-Mexico border." (src)
"'With the voluntary participation of private landowners, the state will begin posting hundreds of surveillance cameras along criminal hot spots and common routes used to enter this country,' Perry said … The video, which will include night vision, will be available to state, local and federal authorities and will be posted on the Internet in real time … 'When citizens witness a crime taking place, they will be able to call an 800 number that will be routed to the appropriate law enforcement agency,' he said." (src)
"The move comes as the Pentagon prepares to deploy about 6,000 National Guard troops to bolster U.S. Border Patrol operations. But Perry said he was disappointed that homeland defense funding for Texas recently was cut 31 percent despite intelligence that 'al-Qaida views the southern border as a prime point of entry' into the U.S." (src)
"Perry said that border sheriffs and police officers serve on the front lines of America's homeland security efforts, and that the Texas-Mexico border is becoming an increasingly dangerous and violent place for peace officers and the citizens they protect. In recent months, state and local officers have engaged in armed standoffs, intense gun battles and high-speed chases pursuing an enemy that is increasingly bold and determined." (src)
"'Enforcing the border is the federal government's responsibility, but Texas will not wait for them to act,' Perry said. 'A stronger border is what the American people want. And it's what our security demands. And that is what Texas is going to deliver'." (src)
"'I look at this as no different than the neighborhood watches that we've had in our communities for years and years,' the governor said Thursday." (src)

Draft Strategic Plan for Migratory Species Released for Comments
26 April 2013: The first draft of the Strategic Plan for Migratory Species 2015-2023, prepared by the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Intersessional Strategic Plan Working Group, has been released for comments, which are requested by 30 September 2013.
The draft presents the proposed goals and targets, which are based on the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, set out in the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 adopted by the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 10) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). It is based on the results of the Strategic Plan Working Group meeting and written contributions received from CBD parties and partners. It aims to serve as a guiding framework for all those working towards the conservation of migratory species, and also support the entire CMS family of agreements. Other chapters will be available in due time and addressed in future rounds of consultation during 2013 and 2014. The final version will be presented at CMS COP 11, to be held in late 2014. A technical companion volume will also be prepared, to support implementation of the Strategic Plan. [CMS Press Release][Draft Strategic Plan]

National Fuel Gas Supply Corp. has dropped its lawsuit against the Town of Colden and its anti-hydraulic fracturing moratorium.
The company challenged the town's six-month ban on hydraulic fracturing because it also prohibits other types of horizontal drilling, a practice the company often uses to access its natural gas storage field in Colden.
Since then, the town has approved a new moratorium that prohibits shale drilling but allows for the type of drilling National Fuel uses in Colden.
The Colden storage field has been in existence for decades, and National Fuel has the necessary state and federal permits to drill a new horizontal well there.

That route doesn't even detail the obvious route home from our last stop to Austin, which is probably another 20 something hours. I'm not used to seeing the whole route mapped out.
Anyway, I love the West Coast and I will be in some part of it or another for the next two weeks. We head out for it tomorrow. If you live there are would like show details go here.

GEMS – Growth and Enhancement of Montana StudentsWednesday, February 23, 2011, 2:34 pm
Montana's Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the new data system was released on November 15, 2010 and six proposals were received on January 17th, 2011. These proposals have been evaluated and scored by the SLDS RFP evaluation committee and the top three proposals have been identified. The top three proposals were received from Vexcel/Aspect, Versifit, and Pearson/Choice Solutions. On March 1-3, these vendors are coming to Helena to provide a full-day of detailed demonstrations of their proposed solutions. These on-site demonstrations will once again be evaluated and scored by the review committee and the final decision will be made on March 4th.
In other GEMS activities, the project team has been implementing a formalized data governance structure within the OPI. There is now improved agency-wide awareness and input regarding OPI data collection and reporting requirements. A formal data governance process has begun which is initiated by a request for a new data collection, changes to existing collections, modifying business rules regarding data and other data issues. This new process has recently been presented to Division Administrators and many other staff with the OPI.
Additionally, there are now five functioning committees meeting regularly to establish policies and procedures for data governance and for addressing OPI data issues. These committees are the Strategic Directions: Use and Analyze Data Committee, the Data Privacy and Security Committee, and the recently formed Data Governance, Core Data Stewards and Ad-hoc Committees. Other committees including key stakeholders outside of the OPI will also be established as this project progresses.
For more information regarding the data governance process contact Erin Thielman, GEMS Business Analyst and Data Governance Facilitator at email@example.com - 444-9676.
For more information, contact Jamey Ereth, 444-4409

"The (insert popular U.S. brand) of (insert emerging market)." By now you have surely heard this formulaic phrase countless times to describe any number of investment opportunities in the emerging markets. Often these phrases can mean very little, but occasionally they can mean everything. Case in point: Wal-Mart de Mexico y Centroamerica (NASDAQOTH: WMMVY ) literally translates to "Wal-Mart of Mexico and Central America."
The Wal-Mart of Mexico and Central America
Wal-Mart de Mexico y Centroamerica traces its origins back to 1958, but in its present form it began as a 1991 joint venture to open Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs stores in Mexico. Today this Mexican Stock Exchange-traded company is 70% owned by Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) , and its operations now include the Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. All together, Wal-Mart de Mexico has 2,768 stores in a region that encompasses more than 155 million people.
Of the 2,786 store locations in these six countries, 251 are Wal-Mart stores and 167 are Sam's Clubs. The remaining 2,350 stores are comprised of various brands of discount department stores, discount warehouses, membership warehouse clubs, supermarkets, pharmacies, and clothing apparel stores. Wal-Mart de Mexico's operations also include Banco Wal-Mart with its over one million Mexican bank accounts, as well as its major e-commerce presence with Walmart.com.mx and Mexico's leading online grocery sales site Superama.com.mx.
The Mexican division of Wal-Mart de Mexico y Centroamerica is the much larger of the two, making up about 86% of total company revenue and 76% of the company's store count. The Mexican division is also the largest retailer in Mexico, far larger than its nearest Mexican competitor. This past quarter the Mexican division contributed 87.2 billion pesos ($6.76 billion USD) in revenue, while Mexico's No. 2 retailer -- Organizacion Soriana -- did just 799 million pesos ($62 million USD) during its most recently reported quarter.
Despite this dominance over Mexican retail, Mexico has been a recent challenge for Wal-Mart de Mexico due to the slowdown in that country's economy. In the first and second quarters of this year, the Mexican economy grew just 0.6% and 1.5%, respectively, compared to the first quarter 2012 and second quarter 2012 growth of 4.6% and 4.2%, respectively. This low Mexican GDP growth can similarly be observed in Wal-Mart de Mexico's third quarter earnings released last week; the Mexican division's revenue increased only 1.7% over its third quarter 2012 revenue.
Central America
While the Mexican side of Wal-Mart de Mexico y Centroamerica has been a challenge as of late, Central America remains an attractive market with great growth potential. The company expanded into Central America in 2010, and this region of nearly 40 million people currently has just 19 Wal-Mart stores and exactly zero Sam's Club locations. As a point of comparison, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona with their combined population of 34.7 million people have 549 Wal-Mart stores and 97 Sam's Clubs locations (as well as two Supermercados).
Much of Central America's retail sector can be described as informal. These are small, local, independent retailers with no real size, scale, or widespread distribution. In other words, this is a rather inefficient retail market ready and waiting for some company to come in, disrupt, and consolidate. Wal-Mart de Mexico is the single best positioned company to be that disruptor.
That potential can be seen in the company's third quarter earnings with its Central American sales improving thanks to the company's pricing power. In this past quarter, the company's Central American division reported revenue of 14 billion pesos ($1.09 billion USD), a 6.4% increase in constant currency compared to the third quarter of 2012. The Central American division's gross margin similarly rose to 22.4%, up from 20.5 last year.
Foolish bottom line
Investing in Latin America is not without its risks. That has been particularly true this year, with many Latin American economies slowing down and falling out of investor favor. With shares down over 20% year to date, Wal-Mart de Mexico y Centroamerica is no exception. Despite this, there are still great opportunities to be had in Latin America. For those investors able to think long term, the future rewards of Wal-Mart de Mexico could very well be worth the risks of today.
Don't forget about Wal-Mart's fantastic dividend
Dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill. To discover the identities of these companies before the rest of the market catches on, you can download this valuable free report by simply clicking here now.

A southern Indiana corrections officer faces charges after police said he pulled a gun on his wife.
Police said a couple of days before Christmas, Heath Ray pulled a shotgun on his wife and barricaded himself inside a room with his 4-year-old child.
Ray worked at the Henryville Correctional Facility.
Police said the incident stemmed from an argument about the couple's relationship.
Ray surrendered to authorities outside his Henryville home.
He now faces charges of criminal recklessness and for pointing a gun at his wife.
