Redmond O'Neal, it appears, has run out of second chances.
A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that O'Neal, 24, has violated his probation. O'Neal faces up to three years in state prison, the L.A. County District Attorney's office confirms. Sentencing is set for April 17.
"Mr. O'Neal was recently discharged from a residential treatment facility after testing positive for meth and because traces of heroin were found in his room," DA spokeswoman Jane Robison says. "Because of that, the judge terminated his Prop. 36 program" which allows drug offenders a chance to receive treatment instead of time behind bars.
O'Neal, son of ailing actress Farrah Fawcett and Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O'Neal, has battled drug addiction for years. Redmond was most recently arrested last weekend for allegedly bringing heroin into a jail parking lot. He is currently on probation stemming from a DUI and drug possession case last June. He remains in custody and is being held without bail.
A lawyer for Redmond had no comment.

Tange & Zula's Trip
Moving an elephant requires a great deal of planning, a custom-designed trailer, as well as qualified drivers and caregivers to ensure a safe trip. Prior to the actual move, permits are acquired and, in the case of Tange and Zula, the elephants must be conditioned to enter the trailer of their own free will.
In conventional transport containers the elephant is chained by two legs to the floor of the trailer for the entire duration of the trip. The Elephant Sanctuary is chain-free both at home and on the road. Our unique trailer, which was donated by United Parcel Service, is designed to transport its elephant passengers chain-free. As an alternative to the antiquated and harmful practice of chaining, the Sanctuary's trailer is designed with a cage-like structure which allows the elephants to travel chain-free and assume normal posturing during transit. This trailer is the first of its kind, making the need for chaining obsolete.
In order to accommodate two elephant passengers, the trailer has been modified. An additional cage was fabricated, creating two separated and safe spaces inside the trailer. Tange and Zula will be transported in the same trailer but in their own separate space. Traveling together — being able to see, hear and touch each other, will help to keep Tange and Zula calm during the trip.
It is standard practice for the Sanctuary to hire a semi-tractor and professional driver to transport our precious cargo to the Sanctuary. A member of the Sanctuary staff helps to prepare the soon-to-be resident elephant and travels with the elephant for the duration of the trip.
Below is a list of expenses the Sanctuary incurred in order to transport Tange and Zula from Chehaw Wild Animal Park in Albany, Georgia to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Many Sanctuary supporters have underwritten some of the many costs associated with moving Tange and Zula.

Frontloading involves the Parole Board Parole Officer (PBPO) completing an assessment on an offender in order to identify needs and to provide information prior to release to the offender regarding available community services to address those needs. Frontloading also involves the PBPO providing information obtained about an offender during that meeting to the supervising officer, to assist the officer in developing supervision activities.
A frontloading session involves the PBPO:
Reviewing the score on each domain as identified in a risk assessment tool;
Prioritizing areas of concern by risk;
Documenting program participation/completion while in prison;
Documenting recommendations and other relevant information (mental health, medical);
Providing a Reentry Resource Sheet (a list of agencies and/or community programs) for an offender's approved county of residence;
Providing a workbook to the offender to complete and bring to the first office visit with his or her supervising officer.
The following criteria are utilized in order to determine if an offender will receive a frontloading assessment prior to release:
An ORAS Supplemental Reentry Tool (SRT) or Reentry Tool (RT) with a score of High (parole/PRC);
Transitional Control offenders will not be frontloaded prior to transfer to the HWH;
Interstate Compact or halfway house approved placements will not be frontloaded prior to release.

Trade Editions:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
British first. The first two printings were issued without a dustwrapper. This carries the full numberline 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1, printed in July 1997, with the Uk editions printed by Clays.
From Tomfolio-
"According to the Bloomsbury, the publisher, the first printing was limited to just 500 hardback copies with most of these intended to go to the U.K. school library system. It seems that even this number of trade copies may be too high, as it appears that while in truth there were 500 copies, they were divided into 350 hardcover copies and 150 proof copies. These first editions are scarce, and quite pricey"
The first Australian printings (these do have a dustwrapper) are also dated 1997, with Joanne Rowling credited on the title page and £10.99 on the dustwrapper. There is no evidence they were actually printed here in 1997 as later printings carry the same printing date. This run was printed by Australian Print Group, Maryborough, and it appears there was a small print run of hardcovers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
British First. Printed by Clays July 1998. The First Edition has the full number line, down to "1", on the copyright page. It was issued with a dustwrapper illustrated by Cliff Wright, with a price of £10.99. According to Bloomsbury there was 10,150 copies printed.
The Australian first is dated 1998, with adverts on the rear pages for Philosopher's Stone and Azkaban. The dustwrapper is not priced. Pinted by Australian Print Group, Maryborough.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
British First. 10,000 copies Printed by Clays July 1999. This edition has what is known as 'Three States'
From Tomfolio
"The First Edition has the full number line, down to "1", on the copyright page. It was issued with a dustwrapper illustrated by Cliff Wright, with a price of £10.99. This book is also in illustrated boards (covers) with the illustration matching that on the dustwrapper.
The trade edition has a number of points. The first issue states 'Copyright Joanne Rowling' on the copyright page, whereas the second issue is amended to 'J.K. Rowling'. Also on the first page of text (p. 7), there is a misaligned text block with some dropped text. Clays Ltd. is listed as the printer. The speculation is that the errors were discovered early in the print run. Early thought was there were only 500 copies with these errors. It is now assumed that there were actually about 2500 of these copies.
The second state has J.K. Rowling listed as copyright holder. In addition, the dropped text on page 7 is corrected. Clays Ltd. is also still noted as the printer. There are no black and white advertisements in the back of the book. Based on the number of copies offered for sale, and the number of copies seen, this state actually seems to be scarcer than the first state, although the number of these is undetermined, and based on the publishing numbers should not be so.
The so-called third state is very interesting. It lists J.K. Rowling as the copyright holder, and has the corrected text on page 7. It also has an added 2 pages of black and white advertisements for the first 2 books at the back of the book. This is also lacks the Clays Ltd. imprint, and lists no firm as the printer. This state is the most common of the three, but again there has been no determination on the number of these that were printed.
One has to wonder what the third state really is. Why would Bloomsbury stop the presses to add the 2 pages of advertisements, if they did not add the advertisements when they made the error corrections to the first state? Why is Clays Ltd. not noted as the printer? Who (or where) printed these copies? Could these actually be the first Australian editions? Especially as we have yet to see or hear of an Australian first. These are questions that still need to be answered."
I have been collecting these for several years, and the earliest printing I can find by Australian Print Group, Maryborough, is a third printing, or 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3.
I have a first and second printing in the 'third state', both with the printer missing. We can only assume that either there is an error on the Australian first edition where is lacks a printer imprint, or there was never any printed here.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Printed by Clays London July 2000, and by Omnia Press Scotland. As the Omnia print run was smaller (250,000 by Omnia and 750,000 copies by Clays) the Omnia print is considered a collectable title. Although at one million copies it cannot realistically be called a scarce book.
From Tomfolio:
"This book has some booksellers listing copies with "storyline errors" on pages 503 and 579 that were supposedly corrected during the first print run. These "points of issue" however still exist in at least the seventh printing, so it is doubtful that these are actually errors or misprints."
These have actually been corrected in paperback editions, but again, as they are not real "errors" don't add a great deal of value.
The Australian first edition states 'First Australian Edition', printed by Australian Print Group, 2000, no price on the dustwrapper.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 2003 - Australian First States "First edition' on the copyright page (later printings will have a numberline) and printed by McPhersons.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2005 - Australian First States "First edition' on the copyright page with a numberline 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2, printed by Griffin Press.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2007 - Australian First States "First edition' on the copyright page (later printings will have a numberline) and printed by Griffin Press.
Bloomsbury have stopped releasing the print run size, but they were in the millions, and none of these books are presently worth much above retail. There is some books that come out misprinted. A delightful argument I often have with my comic-book collecting friend is the supposed 'value' of misprintings in books. A misprinted comic is considered defective and not worth a cent, whereas a misprinted book will often be 'considered' rare.
Remember it is really only considered rare by the person trying to sell it to you. I have a lovely misprinted Canadian Harry Potter which sits in my collection, which delights me to no end, but which I only paid what I might pay for a hardcover copy in a bookshop. It is nice to have quirky books amongst the collection, but they will have no value whatsoever later on, so I don't advise you pay a great deal for them.
Large Print Editions:
These are lovely editions and I am lucky enough to have a full set of these. They were printed from 2000 onwards (you will notice a Warner Bros copyright on the copyright page) and as most large print, are printed mainly for libraries. The Philosopher's Stone first printing is worth a little more, sometimes fetching a few hundred dollars, and is into reprints now. Most are worth a little above retail, a full set of first printings may be worth paying a bit for as they're getting a little harder to find, but don't go paying thousands for them.
These were printed in the UK only.
Deluxe Editions:The first four deluxe editions by Bloomsbury (only published in the UK) all carry a full numberline. The first three were published simultaneously in 1999, with Goblet of Fire published in 2000, subsequently carrying the same 'printing errors' as the trade hardback.
These did have a relatively small print run and are certainly worth paying extra for a first printing.
But, a note on the supposed 'first state' Prisoner of Azkaban Deluxe edition. There is no such thing, it does not exist and the supposed 'error' of using Joanne Rowling on the copyright page does not add value to the book. If it was an error it would have been corrected by the second printing, and not carried on until the tenth printing. If you pay hundreds of dollars for a 10th printing on this book, you are being completely fooled. You could pop into your local Angus and Robertson and pay 49.95 for a tenth printing with the exact same text.
As for sellers combing books for spelling mistakes, etc, none of this will add value to the book. Millions of books have small typos, it does not make them scarce.
Remember you will pay more for first and early printings of the first three or four books, but the print runs on the last three books were massive, so do your research. And happy hunting!

Barack Obama's Twitter campaign on gun control struggles to gain momentum
- From: news.com.au
- June 12, 2014
BARACK Obama has described it as one of the biggest frustrations of his presidency — the failure to introduce changes to gun laws in America.
The US President noted that politicians from both parties were "terrified" of the power of the National Rifle Association, but judging from the reaction from Twitter, apathy could be a bigger factor.
In a world where even the most mundane comment can inspire tens of thousands of retweets:
What an amazing night thank you so much for helping us achieve the highest honour... Playing Wembley stadium :D pic.twitter.com/K9HBS4Ndqy— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) June 7, 2014
Obama, who has 43 million twitter followers, struggled to get more than 10,000 retweets on his post about gun control.
Retweet if you agree with the President. pic.twitter.com/obmSqkLq1B— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 12, 2014
To be fair Obama's post has only been up for a day and the response is excellent compared to the number of retweets he usually gets. Most get a few hundred retweets or a response in the low thousands. With one notable exception:
Four more years. pic.twitter.com/bAJE6Vom— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012
When it comes to gun laws though, there were plenty who didn't agree:
@BarackObama there is no such thing as gun control! Only centralizing gun ownership into the hands of the political elite— (@moshjarks) June 12, 2014
@BarackObama Governments usually do more damage than "people."— (@kirianstone) June 12, 2014
@BarackObama Violent people will always find a way to hurt others regardless of what weapon they use.— Jason I (@clearskyline) June 12, 2014
Others tweeted their dismay using the hashtag #2A
Unbelievable. As mass be-headings occur in Iraq, Barack Obama's biggest concern is dismantling #2A: pic.twitter.com/9Otpzbz1hG …— Paul Daly (@PaulDalyy) June 12, 2014
You can teach people not to rape, murder, and steal. That doesn't mean they'll listen. #ProtectYourself #2A— Republican Sass (@RepublicanSass) June 12, 2014
Had you ever bothered to read the Constitution, you'd understand why. #2A @BarackObama— Jim (@belcher_jr) June 12, 2014
Others asked: "what about the dangers of cutlery?"
@BarackObama You always talk about guns, not people. Should we ban cars to stop drunk drivers? How about the dangers of cutlery?— Martin W. Schwartz ћ (@Swohtz) June 12, 2014
Even among supporters, some found Obama's clicktivism a little ironic, and desperate.
"@BarackObama: Retweet if you agree with the President pic.twitter.com/q7j7RvXyRg" Using Guns For Retweets? Thats Low. Stop Begging For Retweets— mojo jojo (@theresnooneroad) June 12, 2014
@BarackObama now enact something. Don't complain about people not being on board. You can bomb people on a whim so pass a smart gun law.— (Chad)Rodriguez (@chadrodriguez) June 12, 2014
Hey @BarackObama understand your frustration on #guncontrol. Why don't you write to your President? He's running country & may do something— John Orchard (@DrJohnOrchard) June 12, 2014
And then there was this:
@BarackObama @OFATruthTeam in a country of tens of millions, 8300 retweets tells the story.— Tooth Fairy Denier (@FunkynFortunate) June 12, 2014
Perhaps even more frustrating is the fact that the National Rifle Association has so far not bothered to tweet a response.

What are you most proud of? Learning how to properly use my serger Gaining confidence serging. Had my Brother 1034 D in a box for five years! Now, I don't feel scared to thread, I am using wooly and decorative threads. Have to say I made a good choice with this class. Best value!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Make sure you work with fabrics that have medium weight for this project. If you don't feel comfortable using serger to serge the zipper, just use your sewing machine. In the long run, you are taking care of your serger. My serger did not like this particular part. I felt I was pushing my luck too much... since I can't afford a more heavy duty machine, I rather play it safe and save money on repairs at the dealer.
I am sorry for the upside down pictures. I don't know how to fix them. They appear ok but after I upload they appear upside down. Sorry about that. If somebody knows how to fix this please share!
Even when it's upside down, it's still super cute! ;) You did a great job my dear, and I'm proud of you for getting your machine out of the box and putting it to WORK!
Thanks...now I am working on my ruffled apron...need to master how to "ruffle" so that is the theme this week!

Russell Procope
Russell Procope (August 11, 1908 – January 21, 1981), an American clarinettist and alto saxophonist, was known best for his long tenure in the reed section of Duke Ellington's orchestra, where he was one of its two signature clarinet soloists.
Before Ellington[edit]
Procope was born in New York City, and grew up in San Juan Hill, where he went to school with Benny Carter. His first instrument was the violin, but he switched to clarinet and alto saxophone. He began his professional career in 1926 as a member of Billy Freeman's orchestra. At the age of 20 he recorded with Jelly Roll Morton, and went on to play with bands led by Benny Carter, Chick Webb (1929–30), Fletcher Henderson (spring of 1931 to 1934), Tiny Bradshaw, Teddy Hill, King Oliver, and Willie Bryant.
Fletcher Henderson's band was dissolved in 1934. Along with several other ex-Henderson musicians, Procope went into Benny Carter's orchestra. He also worked for a time with the Tiny Bradshaw and Willie Bryant bands before joining Teddy Hill in 1935. During his stay with Teddy Hill's orchestra the trumpet section included, at various times, Roy Eldridge, Bill Coleman, Frank Newton, and Dizzy Gillespie, while trombonist Dickie Wells and tenor-saxophonist Chu Berry were two other distinguished soloists who played with the band. It was a member of this orchestra that Russell Procope made his first trip to Europe in 1937; Teddy Hill's band formed part of "The Cotton Club Revue," an all-coloured show, which during its European tour appeared at the London Palladium.
In 1938 Procope replaced Pete Brown in John Kirby's sextet, with whom he played exclusively alto sax until 1945 (with an interruption for World War II). It was with Kirby that he began to make his name. Kirby's band included Charlie Shavers (trumpet), Buster Bailey (clarinet), Procope (alto-sax), Billy Kyle (piano) and O'Neil Spencer (drums). This group was billed as "The Biggest Little Band In The World" - performing intricate, tightly-woven small-band orchestrations, combining precision with relaxation and a high standard of solo playing. In some way John Kirby's music contributed elements to the experiments which were to be pursued by jazz modernists during the middle Forties.
From 1942 until the end of World War II, Procope served in the U.S. armed forces.
Ellington and afterwards[edit]
Procope joined the Ellington orchestra in 1946, standing in for Otto Hardwicke for one night in Worcester, Massachusetts, and staying until Ellington's death in 1974. Procope came to Europe again as a member of this band during the summer of 1950. Like all members of the Ellington reed section except for alto saxophone titan Johnny Hodges and marathon tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves, Procope doubled on the clarinet, and it was on that instrument that he made his reputation. Though he was a fine saxophonist and could (and did) play tenor as well as alto saxophone with authority, Procope was most highly regarded for his woody, understated clarinet solos, a warm contrast to fellow reed section member Jimmy Hamilton's cheerful, breezy style. (An excellent, immediate hearing of the contrast between the two clarinetists can be heard on Ellington's three-part suite "Idiom '59"; Ellington handed Procope the solo for the slower tempoed opening part, before handing Hamilton the first clarinet solo and the bridge blues solo on the more swinging second part.) Procope was also highly regarded personally within and outside the Ellington band. "He was", wrote Ellington in Music is My Mistress, "an utterly sober and reliable musician, always to be depended upon."
After Ellington's death, Procope toured with Brooks Kerr's trio.
In 1956, Procope recorded The Persuasive Sax of Russ Procope under the London Records label. Procope played the alto-saxophone, along with Remo Biondi (rhythm guitar), Earl Backus (solo guitar), Paul Jordan (piano) Mel Schmidt (bass), and Frank Rullo (drums). Although Procope's early playing reflected the influence of Benny Carter, he had evolved a highly individual style. It combined an essentially lyrical approach with a forceful, swinging attack.

Our Knowledge Base covers a wide variety of technical topics, from the basic to the complex.
QuickBase users may notice small discrepancies when rounding
and comparing floating point numbers. For example, Round(37.785,0.01) returns 37.78 instead of 37.79. This
is not a QuickBase-specific issue; the discrepancies happen because some
floating point numbers cannot be represented exactly in the binary format
required by computers and are instead approximated.

In a recent webinar a customer asked how they might use an email notification to embed an "approve" and "reject" button such that when their client opened their email, they could make the selection right there in the email and the result would be to update the record and log the client's choice to include an audit trail of the person, the decision date and time.

Massage Lotion Bottle Holster, Black
Made of durable cordura weave (fabric used for backpacks) this handy bottle holster keeps your lotion at your side, allowing you to maintain close contact with your client at all times. A 1" wide belt and heavy-duty edging make this belt more durable than other belts available.
Works great for sessions. Great value, as well!!!
To be honest I was pleasantly surprised with this holster, the last one I bought seemed to be flimsy and wore out really fast.
Exactly what one would expect from a massage lotion holder. No complaints.
Product as described.
The plastic clip broke after a only a week of use.

Sara Serpa
As a native of Lisbon, Portugal, and currently living in New York, vocalist and composer Sara Serpa has lived around music all her life. While in her teens she attended the Conservatory of Music in Lisbon, studying piano and singing, setting the basis of her musical vocabulary. When facing the challenge of choosing a career, Serpa entered a Psychology College, graduating in Social Work. Her musical desires remained alive during this period and soon she encountered jazz at Hot Clube Jazz School in Lisbon. Serpa's aspirations of seeking more knowledge and challenges eventually brought her to Boston where she attended Berklee College of Music and later the New England Conservatory, where she received her Masters in Jazz Performance in 2008. Among her teachers were a very celebrated cast of luminaries such as Danilo Perez, Ran Blake, Dominique Eade, Theo Bleckmann, Hal Crook and Jerry Bergonzi.Read more

The search for the next permanent superintendent of Harrisburg School District is about to intensify.
The school board's search team plans to hold initial interviews with up to seven candidates over the next several weeks.
The board received a smaller crop of applicants than expected. Harrisburg received just 14 applications, compared with 32 in 2001 and 20 in 1998, the last times the district conducted this kind of search. In both prior cases, the board enlisted the aid of outside consultants.
The school board placed ads in USA Today; Education Week, a trade journal; professional groups such as the National Alliance of Black School Educators; and some Pennsylvania newspapers.
After an initial, blind review of the applicants Wednesday, directors declared themselves pleased with the breadth and quality of the field.
They said they will forgo any more targeted recruiting at this point. "We'll see what we see" from the first round of interviews, said Tiffiney Penn, the head of the board's search committee. "If we're not satisfied at that point, then we can go to the entire board and ask for a head hunter to assist us.
"But what we've seen thus far really seems good," Penn said.
District officials said the applicant field was split almost evenly between out-of-state and in-state candidates, with the latter group including one current Harrisburg staffer.
The board had opted in October to manage the search internally, in part due to its ongoing effort to control operating costs.
They did so well aware that initial interest in the Harrisburg post could be stunted by publicity surrounding the district's chronic student achievement problems.
First off, the district's last superintendent, Gerald Kohn, was ousted in mid-contract. Kohn has filed a lawsuit in Dauphin County Court for reinstatement and/or back pay. Critics said Kohn failed to turn around low test scores and said the district needed new direction.
The scope of the challenges for the new superintendent is daunting.
Harrisburg is racked by deficits. In the most recent round of state assessment tests, Harrisburg again ranked among the lowest districts in the state in terms of numbers of students meeting state and federal achievement targets.
District Director of Human Resources Mark Holman conceded there were a number of candidates who inquired about the position but then opted against applying.
But Holman, like Penn, said he felt that the pool of candidates who did respond was strong.
The district's advertisements called for "a visionary leader, with a proven background of success in urban education."
They did not set out a salary, other than to say it will be "regionally competitive."
The district's acting superintendent, Sybil Knight-Burney, earns $142,000 annually.
Wednesday's screening meeting was based solely on experience and qualifications — so much so that all the applicants' personal information, including names, race and gender, was blacked out, Penn said.
Penn said that was done deliberately to ensure a focus on finding the best-qualified candidates and to minimize future questions about political influence or cronyism.
The board can start to assess how individual candidates match up to Harrisburg's needs going forward starting with the upcoming interviews, she said.
When the committee reaches a short list of finalists, the board's intent is to bring each candidate in for meetings with the staff and the community, Penn added.
The district hopes to complete the search in time for the new superintendent to be on board this summer.
In addition to Penn, other members of the search team are directors Wayne Henry, Jeunetta Lewis and Patricia Whitehead-Myers.

Just the stats: He completed 10 of 15 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns, both career highs, to guide West Side to its first NJSIAA playoff victory, a 26-6 triumph over Union Hill of Union City Friday in the first round in North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3. Baskerville was playing in his first full game since suffering a collarbone injury in an Oct. 20 victory over West Orange. The games where he was injured, against Wayne Valley and Irvington, were West Side's only losses. Baskerville also is a standout guard for the Newark Science Park basketball team that was 25-3 and lost to Bloomfield Tech last March in the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 1 final. Baskerville attends Newark Science Park. Because the school does not have a football team, he is allowed to play the sport for another city school.
Sitting out: ''It was frustrating. I was glad to see they didn't close up. They fought back. But I know I could have helped.''
Return to action: ''It felt so good to be back. The line gave me a lot of time back there.''
First contact: It happened on the opening play, when Baskerville lunged for a fumble and was hit flush in the injured shoulder. ''I was a little nervous at first. Then I realized it just felt like any other hit. It woke me up and got my head in the game.''
Coach's words: ''It was good to see him back,'' Brian Logan said. ''The kids got a big lift out of it. They know if we want to have a chance, he's got to be the man.'' Favorite sport: ''Football. But don't tell Coach Gaylord (Milt, of Science Park) that. He might get mad.''
Best game: Last Friday. ''We're not really a passing team. That's what caught my attention. But we showed we can run option and throw the ball.''
Favorite food: His aunt Kim's macaroni and cheese.
Favorite music: R&B and hip hop.
Favorite TV show: ESPN Sports-Center.
College sport: ''Right now I'd say football, but I haven't had a chance to play my senior year in basketball yet.''
Lasting tribute: Baskerville and other players visit the gravesite of former teammate Yusef Joseph at Fairmount Cemetery before games. He was killed by gunfire in August 2005. ''He's on our minds,'' Baskerville said. Three for dinner: His mom, Adrienne Armstrong, his dad, Anthony Baskerville Sr., and coach Brian Logan.

On Nov. 15, it was announced that Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (UNKNOWN: JOSB.DL ) has withdrawn its offer of $2.3 billion for The Men's Wearhouse (NYSE: TLRD ) after its frustration with the retailer's board of directors' inability to communicate effectively. For two months now, Jos. A. Bank has waited anxiously to hear if The Men's Wearhouse has chosen to go through with the merger or not. Frustrated and fed-up, Jos. A. Bank has called it off, at least for the time being, and has stated that it may consider its bid for Men's Wearhouse again in the future if The Men's Wearhouse is willing to cooperate on their terms. This merger would have considerably benefited investors of the two retailers, which both specialize in men's tailored suit collections and casual clothing from dress to casual attire, sportswear, footwear, and accessories. For now, Jos. A. Bank investors should be content with the company's organic growth, while shareholders in Men's Wearhouse should be satisfied with the company's growth strategy, which was its reason for rejecting the buyout.
Original announcement from earlier this fall
Earlier this fall, Jos. A. Bank proposed purchasing its larger competitor Men's Wearhouse for $48 per share. This offer was quickly rejected by Men's Wearhouse who viewed it as insufficient given the company's great potential going forward. Jos. A. Bank continued to strategize other alternatives for possible acquisitions in order to further the company's growth and increase its shareholders' assets. After numerous unanswered emails and calls to Men's Wearhouse during the month of October, Jos. A. Bank publicly announced that if no action had been taken by part of Men's Wearhouse's board of directors, it would withdraw its bid of $2.3 billion by Nov. 14, which is exactly what ended up happening. Jos. A Bank has since withdrawn its offer, and the two companies are likely to remain separate entities for the foreseeable future.
A potential buyout isn't the only reason Men's Wearhouse has been in the news
George Zimmer, founder and former CEO of Men's Wearhouse, was actually fired from the company this past summer. Zimmer founded the company in 1973 and managed its operations for the last 40 years. He stepped down as CEO in 2011 to become the Executive Chairman. Zimmer had difficulty giving up control over Men's Wearhouse to the company's independent board of directors, who constantly clashed with Zimmer over the company's future. Zimmer approached the board earlier this year insisting that they either support the CEO and management team's decisions, or restore his authority as sole decision-maker. The board decided that they were done with Zimmer's unreasonableness and silenced him once and for all.
Recent financials for the two companions
Both Jos. A. Bank and Men's Wearhouse are about neck and neck in terms of earnings per share despite Men's Wearhouse being 2.5 times larger than Jos. A. Bank. Currently, Men's Wearhouse is trading at around $46.50 per share – less than $2 below the proposed buyout price by Jos. A. Bank! On the other hand, shares of Jos. A. Bank are trading at $50.72, despite its much smaller size when compared to Men's Wearhouse. As far as expected earnings goes, Men's Wearhouse expects to earn $2.46 a share this year on revenues of $2.52 billion, and next year, the company expects to earn $2.76 a share on revenues of $2.6 billion. Meanwhile, Jos. A. Bank is expected to earn $2.73 a share on revenues of $1.04 billion this year, and expects to earn $2.87 a share on revenues of $1.11 billion for FY 2015.
Foolish for either company
Wall Street is currently valuing both companies about the same. Men's Warehouse is trading at over 18 times this year's earnings, whereas Jos. A. Bank is trading at just over 18 times its earnings for this year. Based on this information, it may have been wise for Men's Wearhouse to merge with Jos. A. Bank since it appears Jos. A. Bank's growth strategy is clearly working in its favor. However, Men's Wearhouse may turn itself around with its new proposed growth strategy. If Men's Wearhouse can generate continuous growth and increase its earnings, its decision to reject Jos. A. Bank's offer may have been worth it for both companies' shareholders. Time will tell, and Foolish investors should decide if they believe the turnaround plan is fairly valued.

I've always heard of the phrase, "You don't know what you got till it's gone," but until this week, I never truly understood the full meaning of the phrase.
I lost something this week that has been so important in my life that I didn't know how to operate anymore. I felt like I needed to completely reform my way of life to cope with this loss. And, still, five days later, I'm still wondering how I'll be able to survive.
Readers, fans, general people who have stumbled upon these words - I lost my TV remote control.
I'm freaking out. I have torn apart my bedroom, which is where it is supposed to be. Still living at the parents' residence, I've asked my mom numerous times if she has seen it, but to no avail.
I've looked under my bed. In the closet. In the bathroom. The laundry basket. The pile of clothes growing by the day in the middle of my floor. No dice.
After speaking to a few of my friends, we've come up with a consensus - there is a ghost in my room. He, or she, stole my remote, along with my silver earrings, my flash drive and my pink flip flops.
If it's not a ghost, then I've turned into Chris on "Family Guy" and there is an evil monkey living in my closet. Either one is obviously the answer, because the remote is nowhere to be found.
But going on six days without it, I have found that there is a true void in my life. I'm a creature of habit, and when it comes to my ritual when I get off work at 1:30 in the morning, I have a very specific schedule.
I get home. Put on my pajamas and do the brush teeth / wash face / get ready for bed rituals. Then I head to my bed, pick up my trusty remote control and find a rerun of "Law & Order" to soothe me to sleep. Because, you know, there's nothing better to fall asleep to then a fictional story about a serial killer.
But if there isn't a "Law & Order" on, I like to have my options open. This is where my remote comes in handy. I can channel surf, I can adjust volumes, I can bypass commercials so I don't have to listen to Billy Mays' voice at 2 a.m., all from the comfort of my bed, without moving more than a finger.
Without my remote, I'm left without options. I can either find something on TV, manually, or just not watch at all. That's no fun. I tried the manual thing Thursday night, but it didn't go so well. It ended up that I tried to turn the TV off at about 4 a.m. after I fell asleep, and fell out of bed reaching for my TV, which is about four feet away from my bed.
I realize there were days when remote controls didn't exist and people operated on a fully-functional level. But this is where I came to my realization of the week - I am a child of the 1980s who is now completely spoiled by technology.
Those of you in "The Zone" age range know exactly what I'm talking about. If someone asked me what were five physical things I couldn't live without, four of them would be products that were not available 20 years ago.
My top five are Diet Pepsi (founded in 1964), my cell phone, my iPod, my ATM card and my remote control.
I honestly have come to rely so much on these, and many other products, that I know I'm spoiled in the technology department. Just writing this column on a computer, I know I have it good. I can't imagine doing it on a typewriter, let alone writing it by hand.
In my other world of being a dance teacher, I can't imagine my life without CDs. I remember when I first started dancing and my teachers were putting on records. My kids today don't even know what a record is.
Just knowing how much I rely on these things, makes me wonder what it's going to be like 20 years from now when my children won't know what a CD is.
Maybe then, 20 years from now, I'll finally find my remote.

You know that geometry is a math thing, right? You remember that much from school. You also probably remember that it has something to do with circles, squares, diameters, angles, and all those other terms that floated in (and probably right out of ) your head as you were cramming for all those geometry tests way back when. But your math teacher probably never told you that you'd actually use that stuff in real life - if he had, maybe you would have paid more attention! Well, don't fret. You're in the same boat as almost everyone else. Geometry has about a million (a rough estimate) uses in real life - for example, you may have some home improvement projects you want to tackle; you have to know how to cut the wood at certain angles to make them fit together. ( Bet you didn't realize that carpenters have to be experts at geometry as well!) With a basic knowledge of geometry, building some bookshelves for your kid's room becomes so much easier. Geometry For Dummies can give you that basic understanding of geometry, and you might actually have a little fun along the way. Written in a breezy, easy-to-understand, non-textbook-like style, this book helps you with all your geometrical dilemmas. In Geometry For Dummies, you'll find out about the following topics and more: Understanding lines and angles Working up a geometry proof All those funny shapes: circles, rectangles, triangles, and the ever versatile polygon Having your Pi and eating it, too Taking the next step into trigonometry Doing someone a solid: Exploring prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres Top Ten list of cool careers that use geometry and tips for making geometry easier Appendices with formulas, theorems, and other helpful geometry resources So whatever your reason for wanting to learn geometry - a home improvement project, helping your kid with his or her homework, or just a fascination with funny shapes - Geometry For Dummies is just what you need to recall what you learned in school and put it to good use.

I would first like to apologize for my slow down of blog entries. I can't really tell if anyone reads them, although I assume yes since my views always increase, but if people are I felt the need to start off with this apology.
With that out of the way let's jump in to a small update on the home front. The reason for my slow down in blog entries stem from a small number of things. Before I start let me just say this is not an excuse just the reasons as to why.
The biggest reason is the number of games I'm bouncing between. I'm bouncing between World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14, StarCraft 2, and Halo: Reach. I'm also a hardcore raider and PvPer in WoW so that means I lose some of my nights to raiding with the guild. I also work out every day so that takes time away from blogs as well.
The second reason is the review I'm working on with a friend for unheard and unusual games. The one we're working on now, which actually has a cult following, is named Phantom Dust for the Xbox. It's pretty obscure. Anyway, working on making a review for this takes time out of my day as well.
The third reason is working a full time part time job (if that makes any sense). While yes it's not that great of a reason it does take more time out of the day. The difference is I get paid for giving up 8 hours a day so I think I'll keep up that trend. I like the ability to buy things like internet access.
The last reason is the lack of any real big news updates that one can really discuss about. This goes for anything I already blogged about as well like the California vs. Video Games Supreme Court case coming up. I haven't been able to find anything that I can honestly see the need to throw my 2 cents at. Yes there have been interesting updates, but they don't need a blog post about them. This is because it's either an opinion of someone or a survey statistic. I also feel no need to point out small things in a post that has no major impact.
So those are my lame excuses. Hopefully something will pop up in the news. Till then I'll be trying to clone myself via mechanical parts bought from shady street vendors

Kirsten Dunst is opening up about her stint at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah earlier this year, saying that she sought help for depression, not for drug or alcohol abuse.
"I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," Dunst, 26, tells E! Online. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too."
In February, Dunst checked into the same posh facility where Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes have been treated.
"She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues," a source close to Dunst tells PEOPLE. "She couldn't control her depression."
When Dunst entered rehab in February, another friend told PEOPLE that the actress had been feeling low for some time. "She's been crying a lot lately, " said the friend. "Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It's good she's getting herself help."
As for why she decided to talk about her struggles now, Dunst tells E!, "Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something ... Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about."
