Has Fiber Plus (FiberPlus) Berry Yogurt Crunch been discontinued?
Why did Kellogg's discontinue Fiber Plus Berry Yogurt Crunch?! I finally found a healthy high fiber cereal that doesn't taste like cardboard and you stop making it. Now what am I going to eat?

EMPLOYEE2Steve (Official Rep) May 30, 2013 13:28Hi Robert– I am sorry to report that Kellogg's FiberPlus Berry Yogurt Crunch cereal has been discontinued. While we don't have plans to reintroduce it, I will share your comments with our Product Teams.
As an alternative, you may enjoy the FiberPlus Cinnamon Oat Crunch variety or our Special K Cereal Fruit & Yogurt which features yogurt-covered fruit and oat clusters.

Add one more customer to the list of folks who would RUSH to stock up on Berry Yogurt Crunch if you brought it back. I love it, my wife loves it, my kids love it, and for goodness sake it's healthy!!!!! Really, the fiber content of special K is inadequate - it's not a replacement. PLEASE bring this one back Kelloggs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why discontinue such a great cereal?
Add me to the list of disappointed consumers. I wish I could find a surplus of boxes somewhere, but my area seems to be out. Bring it back Kellogg's - or tell us why you stopped making it! I don't care what name you call it or how you market it. I just want it back!
Very Disappointed to see That Kellogg's Has commented more on Caramel Crunch then on Berry Yogurt Crunch and there is a lot LOT more people on this page then Caramel Crunch why is it this cereal is of LITTLE CONCERN to Kellogg's.... When it has more people following it and commenting there concerns feelings beliefs....????
I really loved this cereal! I hope Kellogg"s brings it back! It tasted awesome!
There's 393 Members of the Kelloggs Fiber Plus Antioxidants Berry Yogurt Crunch Fabebook Group Please if you want to support Bringing this Cereal Back and Letting the world know about how Kelloggs Treated its Loyal Customers Please Join The Group!!!!!
Kellogg's representatives may look at this thread and think that the number of people complaining would not warrant reintroduction of Fiber Plus Berry Yogurt Crunch, but I suspect the numbers would be much larger if it wasn't so difficult to post a comment. When I first came to the website to comment, I almost left the site without voicing my opinion because I generally don't like signing up for website accounts. My guess is that there are many others, like me, who are not commenting for that reason, but still want the cereal brought back.
Facebook Page Fiber Plus Antioxidants Berry Yogurt Crunch.......
To bring back this cereal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought 30 boxes from 1 big lots and 9 from another - yes I spent over $100 on cereal because I love it so much! Everyday when I eat a delicious bowl I'm sad because I know those 39 boxes will go way too fast. Please Kellogg's hire some decent branding/marketing folks and get this cereal back on the shelves!!!! That was the only problem with this product!
As I have followed this discussion a few things have been consistently pointed out.
1) It took many people a long time to find this cereal - this points to a marketing failure.
2) Most of us fell in love with Yogurt Berry Crunch because it was a healthy cereal that actually tasted good (and not like cardboard.)
3) Many of us had already tried all the suggested "alternatives" and found them unacceptable for one reason or another. (a marketing opportunity)
4) Many of us need this cereal for heath reasons. Doctors either recommended it or wanted to know what we were eating because of our improved health. (another marketing opportunity)
5) One has to jump through a lot of hoops to register and post comments. Most people are unwilling to do that (I almost NEVER do.) We feel there are many more people who feel like us as well.
I'm not a big-time Facebook person, but maybe one of the other posters would be willing to start a Bring Back Yogurt Berry Crunch page and we could see how much support the cereal has.
Kinda funny, because I am a member of this group, I got an advertisement for Kelloggs products. Doesn't Kelloggs know now that they take away something that the doctor recommended as well as what I need in my diet, I am now boycotting Kelloggs all together. My son can eat General Meals products for Cereal and I guess I am trying to find something with Fiber other than Kelloggs Cereal brands.
I'm curious why you have a consumer-input avenue to voice our opinions and then don't listen to them! I'm not sure that my comment got posted earlier, but I am a pediatric nurse and I recommend the Fiber Plus Antioxidants YOGURT BERRY cereal to parents of children who suffer (and I do mean "suffer!") with constipation. I tell them, "It tastes like Frosted Flakes but works like "All-Bran!" Don't ask for consumer feed-back if you don't intend to follow the advice of those who keep your paychecks coming! Whenever I found the yogurt berry boxes in the store, I bought four at-a-time! It's the best!
Bring back the yogurt berry crunch!! I LOVE this cereal! I am disappointed and dismayed that this cereal is discontinued! I switched from Raisin Bran Crunch to this cereal...
Absolutely bad decision to discontinue the best tasting cereal on the market. It's priced ridiculously high, though, which is probably why it was not purchased. $5-5.50 per box is crazy. Even GM prices their fiber one affordably and some of those are getting hard to find, especially with raisins.
I too, am disappointed in the loss of this excellent tasting and effective cereal. I feel that we are being punished for your poor advertisement of a high fiber cereal that doesn't taste like cardboard.
I have tried several other cereals and have been disappointed in their bland taste and poor "body" performance.
Kelloggs should not forget that the baby boomers are a huge buying force and that for every one of us that responds here, there are thousands of others who feel the same way.

Thanks for contributing to the thread, Steve, but for the record I don't think it was ever noted that the product was pulled because of low sales, although I think we probably surmised that. Rather than focusing on poor sales, given the vigor of the comments here, maybe the focus should be on poor marketing. The name of this cereal couldn't have been worse, and from what I could see, there was little benefit presented other than "tastes better than Fiber One."
Across the board, every comment here has noted that this was one of the best tasting cereals available - not just high fiber cereal, but cereal in general. If Fiber One has been able to develop a strong horizontal presence off a cereal that mimics wet cardboard, there's no reason that with appropriate marketing, re-branding Fiber Plus Antioxidants - one of the single worst names ever created for a cereal - shouldn't be a greater success.
The cereal isn't the problem, its marketing team is, and Kellogg's has chosen to fire the wrong one.
For Kelloggs to discontinue this cereal, I have to believe that there was some kind of problem with it, like being mislabeled or misrepresenting the amount of fiber or some other item. With the success of the fiber plus bars, doesn't make sense that the cereal would be taken off the shelves so suddenly.
I too do not understand why Kellogs would discontinue such a healthy and good tasting cereal. I think we have bought every last box we can find! As we baby boomers age, we need the fiber to stay healthy and you take a good source away that we can get those health benefits. I guess we will switch to Quaker oatmeal. You lose!
Maybe we should do one of those online petitions.
If anyone else wants to see Kellogg's FIBERPLUS "BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH" back on the shelves like me, PLEASE show them some (Gold Stars)- by clicking the "good answer" under this reply. Maybe numbers will help. Can't hurt. HELP!!
adding my name to this ongoing list as someone who is greatly disappointed at the discontinuation of this cereal; i have searched the shelves recently for a possible good replacement and have seen none; i am not a great cinnamon fan, so not interested in the remaining cinnamon crunch; have tried the Grain Berry brands in the past and was not impressed;
hopefully, Kelloggs will notice this unified disappointment of consumers on this site and reconsider;
it may help Kelloggs to try to get better distribution of this brand, in Cincinnati, Ohio, i could only find it when it was available at WalMart;
Just found 10 boxes of Berry Yogurt Crunch at the Big Lots in Anderson, IN. GOD! I'm gonna miss this cereal when it's gone!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr Kelloggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, my God...I thought it was me!!! I have been scouring ALL stores to find this cereal. By far the best cereal to hit the market - both in the good-for-you variety and all the others - and I can't believe all of our support in buying it couldn't keep it going. Please bring it back!!!
I am really ticked off that Kelloggs discontinued my favorite cereal. Why? Because you made hundreds of thousands in profit on it, not millions? You guys stink! Boycott Kelloggs!!!!
I like many others am terribly disappointed. I found more boxes at Big Lots in St. Petersburg, Fl. If Twinkies can come back why can't Kellogs listen to the people and bring back Berry Yogurt Crunch. Angie
So very disappointed that Kellogs discontinued this cereal. Best tasting ever ! Finally found something I li nuts !ked and it was discontinued.Who would have thought! Special K as a alternative, are you kidding me ?
I am extremely upset that Kellogs has chosen to discontinue my favorite cereal, Fiber Plus Berry Yogurt Crunch. I ate it every single morning! Not only that, but I got my dear mother hooked on it as well. Please, please reconsider and bring it back!!
They have... and said the cereal has been discontinued.. Kelloggs is a company focused on profit and for whatever reason this product no longer matches their corporate strategy. It doesn't matter that a handful of loyal customers like the product. It's strictly dollars and cents.
The only way we can affect their mid set is to take your business elsewhere.. THEN maybe they will finally get it.
Why doesn't anyone from Kelloggs get on here and give us some feedback on all these comments?
Well Kellogg's, as you can see more and more people are still looking for BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH just to find what we all know is all but impossible. Very few boxes remain on the shelves and will certainly be gone for good soon. Wow Please look at this situation,- the majority of us need it for "Health Reasons" as you should know by now because of some of our comments which by the way is not something we all like to share. This cereal tastes so good and is healthy which you should be proud of achieving but yet you stop making it. Everyone PLEASE HELP?, there has to be many thousands of people everyday whose "DAILY ROUTINE" is now all messed up because of discontinuing this product. If anyone out there agrees with this comment PLEASE Give This A "GOLD STAR" (good answer) just to show Kellogg's I'm not the only one, PLEASE??!!!
Many of us have found it at Big Lots. Check it out if you have a store near you.
Stock up!
Check your Big Lots store. Many of us have found it there. Stock up before it's gone.
Introduced this cereal to some friends to try and, like me, they loved it. Now, we are all upset and looking for another brand of fiber cereal. Unless the berry yogurt crunch is put back on the shelf, I will not buy another Kellog's product again, though I don't think this will matter to them.
I've been searching high and low for this cereal and haven't been able to find it, now I know why. I'm disappointed like the rest here. I don't eat a lot of cereal but this is the only one I bought....I thought it was great. I hope they reconsider their decision and put it back on the shelves.
I found 2 boxes :-) at Walgreens and that's all they had and I bought them ALL!!!! I'm soo excited!!! But I want this cereal back other wise go try POST honey bunches of oats GREEK MIXED BERRY!!!!!!!! It's going to be better then any kellogs recommendation to replace berry crunch!!!
Wow, What a bonehead move. This was the best fiber cereal by far. I'll go out my way not to buy Kellogg products from now on.
My wife found 10 boxes at Big Lots here in North Texas. At least we can at have it for a few more weeks. Sure hope Kelloggs takes notice that this cereal is very good, beneficial, has a growing list of people who want it and they bring it back.
My Mom just found me 10 more boxes at her Big Lots in her town. Check your Big Lots Store Everyone!
Add me to the list. I had some health issues that prompted a doctor to ask me to eat more fiber. I saw the Berry Yogurt Crunch and I love it both for the fiber and the taste. I normally go to one of the big box stores but noticed they stopped carrying the cereal, another store near my work place that carried is no longer, I have one other place that is a smaller chain store, guess I will be stocking up more until they run out of it too. Geez.
Add me to the list of dissatisfied customers! This was the best high fiber cereal! Please bring back Berry Yogurt Crunch!
Believe it or not, I just found this cereal at our local Big Lots!! I bought 8 boxes and will probably go back and get more..They had about 50 boxes!!
Bring this cereal back PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! It's delicious! There are no comparisons out there - I've tried them all.
I never write on these things but I miss my favorite cereal
My wife, my doctor, and I are all deeply disappointed. Similar to many comments above, it took me 2 years to find FiberPlus Berry Yogurt crunch. My doctor has been on me to improve my diet and I've been looking for a healthy cereal that didn't taste like cardboard. I've been eating Berry Yogurt crunch for about a year and my weight and cholesterol improved notably. My doctor was very pleased with my progress and asked what changed I'd made. We specifically talked about the cereal and he wrote down the name. He said its a common problem that he cannot get people to eat a healthy cereal because many do not like the taste. He was going to start recommending that his patients try FiberPlus Berry Yogurt crunch if they are struggling with that.
I realize Kellogg's has its reasons...the sales aren't there, etc. But I would point out that if it took me two years to find this cereal when I was actively looking for a healthy alternative, it would seem that the marketing of Berry Yogurt Crunch was poor at best.
I will hope against hope that Kellogg's will reconsider this decision and at the very least offer a REAL substitute. I hope it doesn't take me another two years to find a decent healthy cereal (and I bet my doctor agrees!).
WOW, it's amazing how a company can have a SURE winner and discontinue the product! This cereal has been flying off the shelves where I live since introduced. I was buying 5-10 boxes at a time because they would often be sold out.
All of this bickering is pointless though.... Kellogg's has their reasons, logical or not and no amount of complaining will change their position. As always, I will look elsewhere and take my business with me.
I am shocked by this decision. This was my favorite cereal. I will not go to Special K. Very disappointed & unhappy customer!
Was by far the best tasting high fiber cereal!! Why pull it?????
You know, Kellogg's, if Post had pulled Fiber ONE off the market, instead of this thread, there would raucous parties celebrating it's demise. Either put this cereal back on the shelves, or give us a defensible argument for it's removal besides Special K is easier to produce.
I suffer from IBS and after searching for years for a good tasting cereal that also contained enough fiber- I finally found the berry yogurt cereal. I have been eating it every day for at least 3 years. I am very disappointed that it has been discontinued. I guess it's back to eating Fiber One- YUCK.
Add me to the list, can't stand the Special K as a replacement.
Add me to the list of UNHAPPY Kellogg's customers. FiberPlus Berry Yogurt Crunch had returned me to the ranks of daily cereal eaters. No, I will not switch to a Special K product; never did like the basic taste/texture. And the FiberPlus Cinammon Crunch is a non-starter as well.
Complete idiots! Why discontinue? It always disappeared from the shelves quickly. There was an obvious demand. It was an all time favorite at our household, especially beloved by my 7-year-old son.
Nice that you have this website for comments but could you actually *answer* the question asked above? *Why* was it discontinued?
I agree with the other comments but I also feel that this is happening more & more often to the products that my husband really likes.
First it was a creamer he liked. When you added to regular coffee it frothed like a cappuccino. Probably not the healthiest stuff in the world but a nice treat every once in a while. Then the granola bars he liked were discontinued and now his favorite cereal!
I purchased both the Cinnamon Crunch and the Berry Yogurt Crunch the first time that I purchased Kellogg's FiberPlus cereal but my husband asked me to only buy the Berry Yogurt Crunch variety in the future.
I've been a faithful Kellogg's family since I was a little girl. My Dad was an investment analyst and he introduced us to new Kellogg's products whenever he returned home from business trips. I's hate to have to change my product loyalty to General Mills or Post just to get a cereal we like. As a Registered Dietitian, I view Kellogg's as a good source for healthy breakfasts and snack items.
I hope you realize that the people who have found this website & commented are representative of a much broader spectrum of the population who would prefer if you would keep Kellogg's FiberPlus Berry Yogurt Crunch cereal.
I'm extremely sad about this news. I just found out because I had stock piled on it and was getting close to running out. I was tired of going to the store and there wasn't any of it on the shelves. I went to the store Friday and Saturday and couldn't find it? Now, I know why. I hope you bring this cereal back! I have it everyday and I love it! I have one bowl of cereal left and that's it : (
Huge Choak Kellogg -this was your BEST cereal - great taste and good for you - a product you should have been more marketing power behind if volume was the reason for discontinuing the product. Please bring it back!! Jeff
I'm like everyone else complaining that you can no longer buy Berry Yogurt Crunch. I eat 2 boxes a week and I have tried every kind of fiber cereal and nothing compares to this. If I would have known it was gonna be discontinued, I would have stocked up on it. I am just really disgusted with Kelloggs for doing this!!!
This cereal was great. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED it is discontinued.
What the heck? This was the best cereal ever invented. Why would you do this without providing a replacement? Are you purposely trying to push us to FiberOne?
You have to be kidding me? By myself, I probably ate enough of this cereal to make it worth your while to sell. This was the best cereal I've ever eaten. Instead what have you guys got to offer, about 20 similar Special K flavors with a whopping 2 to 3 grams fiber? Special K is an absolute joke compared to the Fiberplus. I'm insulted that you would even recommend it to us as a replacement. Extremely disappointed :-(
It was the greatest. It had so much fiber and was very low fat. It was ideal. Please bring it back.
Add my wife and I to that list. Best healthy cereal we've ever had. Always selling out on the shelf and you guys discontinue it. Stupid business decision if you ask me.
Add me to the list. Incredibly disappointed. This was easily the best high fiber cereal I've ever eaten, and now I have to find something new...again.
I agree with Robert, why would you discontinue a cereal that has so much to offer the consumer. I have had to change my diet drastically in the past two years due to IBS and other problems. The Fiber Plus Berry Yogurt Crunch is the only one that tastes good, stays crunchy in milk and has the fiber content that I need. I have tried the Cinnamon Oat Crunch and while it does tast good and has the fiber content I need, it get soggy in milk too fast.

I love this cereal! I just found it about 6 months ago at a Grocery Outlet in Oregon. Have been purchasing it at GO since. Went into my local store today - it wasn't there. Nothing I've ever tried before is as good, much less better. And, for a person who's had 1/3 of my colon removed due to cancer, high fiber is very important to me! Please reconsider. Mary
sad sad sad that I am finally out of my backstock in this cereal. We had been hoping it would be repackaged and reintroduced but alas, not. Please please listen and bring it back. I have spent over an hour trying to leave a comment in various places on your site and have had no luck even though you are now sending me junk email so apparently you received my login info. More people would complain if it didn't waste so much time doing it.
The fiber plus cereal was probably the best cereal Kellogg offered. The problem may have been there was no kiddy's type picture on the container so it did not sell so well? Ed.
Let me add my voice to this chorus. My favorite, I can't imagine why this isn't the favorite of everyone. I think the name hurt it's sales. If it was called "Sugary Fruity Flakes" with a cartoon on the front maybe the children of the country would eat it and we could just tag along. The name Fiber Plus is a bit of a negative for most people. Still if one was to be discontinued why MY FAVORITE!!!
I continue to ask the same, Why "MY FAVORITE"???!!!!!
I'm 76 years old, had finally found a cereal that I really like. One that finally took the place of my evening front of the T.V. potato chip & dip snack. And what do the dumb asses do but drop it. Now they tell me to sacrifice it for Cinnamon Crunch, and offer all kinds of coupons and other useless advertisements as a alternative.
Some idiot there has to be nuts.
Thanks Robert, I like your comments and although I am a little behind you in years I too had found my favorite cereal because it tasted so good and for me it was just what the Doctor ordered. The fiber in it and the fact it agreed with my system so well kept me regular daily until I ran out of it. No prior notice from Kellogg's about that or I certainly would still have a large stock of it on hand. They seem not to care about loyal customers with certain disorders who really needed this product as a way of life just to feel comfortable on a daily basis, and without it my life is not the same. I continue to search for something as close as can find to fill that void, but not in the Kellogg's section. Such a let down Kellogg's, BYE-BYE.
So I just found this forum as I was trying to find out what happened to my most favorite, short lived cereal. I'm very sad to hear that it was discontinued. The stores I bought it from could barely keep it on the shelves(target, wallgreen's). I could not find it in any other stores that I shopped at. When I did find it, I bought 4 to 5 boxes at a time. I understand that its difficult to introduce new cereals with the already over crowded cereal isle, but if you had to pick one to keep, why not choose the one that seemed to sell the most?
Well I'm back again to agree with all of you who are just finding this site which by the way Kellogg's seems to be not posting 100 percent of comments or replies on the subject. I came to this site after getting a message that "Donna" had posted but do not see anything here from her. Anyways I just wanted to share that I've followed this since last year and asked politely, and even begged Kellogg's at one time or another as did many other followers to please bring back this wonderful cereal to the shelves, but here we are and all I've heard is they will speak to their superiors, or something close to that but sales were just too low to bring it back. So I think it's goodbye Fiber Plus BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH, it was great when it was here but I'm disgusted with Kellogg's and have moved on to GM. Sorry, I know that may not be what you all want to hear but good luck on seeing it come back, and I really wish it would.
I have been following this also in the hope these dirtbag college bean counters will realize that their marketing team totally blew it.
I have been getting anything generic to keep from buying Kelloggs branded products and have pretty much resigned myself to the idea that Berry Yogurt Crunch won't be back.
I first wrote about my disappointment over the discontinuance of this cereal nearly a year ago! I still miss it. Have not found anything that tastes as good, while also healthy. I really don't understand, with so many folks still asking about it, why Kellogg's hasn't reconsidered. I agree the name didn't do much for it, but the product itself was great - and I'd be delighted to find it back on the shelves - whatever name they use.
I love your description of the Kellogg's "employees" Don, and I also avoid buying Kellogg's, and I agree with you too. I also agree with Mary even though I've changed to General Mills that whatever they name it doesn't matter to me but I would buy it if they brought it back. The fact is we obviously were some of their best customers and they simply do not care about us, it's all about $$$$. However I continue to have a hard time believing that it did not sell enough, specifically in this area because the shelves would not be able to stock enough for customers at most stores not just one. Well if anyone is looking for something with fiber I've been buying GM Fiber One and GM Fiber One with protein & Cranberries, and sometimes I even mix them together for a different taste. It may not be for everybody but I'm not buying Kellogg's. I sometimes get POST Great Grains with cranberry & almond for a change too.
Thanks Tami. I like the Fiber One but the local stores have priced it out of my range. Walmart doesn't carry enough of the Raisin Bran Clusters so can't get them often. And the pricing for "healthy" cereal has just gone through the roof, much more so than the sugar+high fructose+a little more sugar kiddie cereal.
I know what you're saying Don, about the prices of cereal and just about everything that's suppose to be healthy for us. So I always look for and try to use coupons as much as possible and look at new cereals that just come out, they usually are a bit cheaper and if they have the right stuff in them I try to stock up before they jack up the price. Good luck with whatever you and the rest of us can find while we seem to hopelessly await Kellogg's decision on good ole "BERRY YOGURT CRUNCH".
Add me to the list of disappointed cereal buyers.
I liked Fiber Plus Berry Crunch.
The Fiber Plus cereals were perfect for ALL ages. My husband and I are senior citizens and loved the berry and yogurt one and our 3 year old granddaughter loved the cinnamon oat one. We bought about 4-5 boxes a WEEK! The cereals were great for meals and for snacks. Now we are all very sad and frustrated!
and now you've discontinued FiberPlus Cinnamon Oat Crunch . Unbelievable. This is the only Kellogg's cereal I would buy. All other Kellogg's cereals have malt flavoring (which is an additive that frequently contains msg).
I loved it too. I was very unhappy when I went to buy it and found out that it was discontinued. I do not like the cinnamon one at all. I ended up throwing it away.
Add me to the list. Loved it with milk or yogurt. Hope you bring it back.
EMPLOYEE0Kyle (Official Rep) February 12, 2015 20:39Thanks, everyone, for letting us know how much you enjoyed FiberPlus Berry Yogurt Crunch. While there are no plans to bring it back at this time, please be assured your comments have all been forwarded to the correct people here at Kellogg's. Thank you for being members of the Kellogg Community.
Please let us know who you sold the rest of your boxes of this cereal to.

During nap time yesterday I sat down and finished off the family movie for May this year. It was a month of good weather, with days spent in the garden splashing in the water table, playing on the grass, eating picnics and enjoying the new sand pit.
It was the month I decided to start saying yes and so includes a clip of me jumping into a massive ball pit. Normally I wouldn't include me in a video but it's a reminder of a fab afternoon with friends and me relaxing and having fun.
The lovely weather in May helped lift my mood and being able to spend so much time outside in the garden made the kids happy and me so much more relaxed.
Continuing in the spirit of saying yes I am going off to a blogger event at the new Kiddicare store in Bristol today, I'm taking the kids and am more excited than nervous. I will write more about it tomorrow but right now I'm feeling good, glad I'm embracing the power of 'yes', happy watching all the fun stuff we did last month and feeling positive about life in general.
What moments or events would make it into your family movie for last month?

8 pm has just passed in France, and all the polls are now closed, which means official preliminary data is now allowed – the first results from IPSOS are in, and are as follows:
- Francois Hollande: 28.4%
- Nicholas Sarkozy: 25.5%
- Marine Le Pen: 20.0% – extreme right: much better than expected as nationalism is back.
- Jean-Luc Melenchon: 11.7% – extreme left: best communist showing since 1981 yet weaker than expected.
- Francois Bayrou: 8.5%
- Eva Joly: 2.0%
- the others are irrelevant.
Big win for Hollande but even more stunning victory for extreme right winger Le Pen, which only proves that nationalism is back in Europe with a vengeance.

Introductions, Gender, and Amplification
Every year in #introguitar (an open online guitar class I teach at my school, and which you should totally enrol in as a non-credit participant) I ask my students and our open learners to introduce themselves and their intentions to the group in a brief video. And rather than rehash a template video of my own from ages ago, I appreciate the opportunity as a student of music to focus my learning about guitar from semester to semester in new video introductions.
In past years I've worked to learn skills and techniques around lead playing, band-leading, and performing, documenting my growth in subsequent videos and reflections throughout the year.
This year, I'm taking my work in guitar in a direction slightly away from the guitar itself, and toward the conversation about gender, … Continue reading

Standard Fact Sheet
Expanded Fact Sheet - Institutional Shares
2Q16 Quarterly Letter
After a volatile first quarter, much of the second quarter was relatively uneventful until late June, when the U.K. voted to exit the European Union. Even with the volatility that followed "Brexit," U.S. equity markets ended the quarter mostly higher. Positive momentum was helped by a steady increase in oil prices. Although we are still in the midst of an oil glut, production has begun to fall as tight credit markets are forcing oil companies to cancel or delay exploration and new production projects.
Persistent low oil prices over the last two years have resulted in an energy depression and industrial recession in the U.S. Corporate earnings have now declined for four consecutive quarters, largely due to declines in energy company earnings. Outside of energy and energy-related industries, we believe the U.S. economy is improving. Bank loans are up. In accord with Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen's recent commentary, we think interest rates will remain low for an extended period. Employment is strong and wages are climbing. Housing prices are increasing. Retail sales improved in the second half of the quarter and consumer confidence rose. With weak conditions abroad, international investors are turning to U.S. equity markets.
Baron Partners Fund increased in the quarter. Holdings in Information Technology (IT), Financials, and Health Care contributed the most to performance. Consumer Discretionary and Industrials investments detracted. IT benefited from the strong performances of Zillow Group, Inc. and CoStar Group, Inc., the two biggest contributors to performance in the quarter. Positive performance of the Financials sector was led by two top five contributors, Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. and FactSet Research Systems Inc. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., the third biggest contributor in the quarter, led performance of the Fund's Health Care holdings. While results among Consumer Discretionary investments were mixed, detractors outweighed contributors. The sector included the top two detractors from performance in the quarter. Weak performance of the Industrials sector was led by aircraft leasing company Air Lease Corp. In the wake of "Brexit," the stock traded lower over concerns that higher travel barriers will impact passenger demand.
While we think the domestic economy is strengthening, "Brexit," terrorism, China's economy, and other events abroad, as well as recent civil unrest in the U.S., are creating uncertainty. Investing for growth is investing in the future, and when the future seems uncertain, investors tend to exit growth stocks. Subdued IPO activity and negative interest rates on sovereign debt is further evidence of uncertainty. Investor flight to the perceived safety of value stocks has caused the recent contraction in the stock prices of many growth stocks, despite the strong fundamentals and continued growth of these companies. Value stocks outperformed growth in the period and growth stocks now have earnings multiples below 20-year averages while value stocks in all categories have multiples above 20-year averages. For growth investors like us, this creates investment opportunities.
Zillow Group, Inc. is the leading real estate website in the U.S. In addition to information on rentals and homes for sale, the company owns the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace and Street Easy, New York City's leading real estate site. Zillow continues to invest in its brand as the leader in an $8 billion real estate advertising market. Shares were up in Q2, based on improving fundamentals and the favorable settlement of a lawsuit with Move, Inc. We think Zillow is well positioned to grow its share of the real estate advertising market.
Shares of CoStar Group, Inc., a real estate information and marketing services company, increased on outstanding financial results. Revenue growth accelerated to 25%, margins expanded 14% year over year, and earnings almost tripled. CoStar grew in its core commercial real estate market and captured share in the multifamily space. We believe CoStar is poised to generate accelerating organic revenue growth and significant margin expansion as it leverages recent investments in sales headcount, product expansion, and multifamily marketing.
Shares of veterinary diagnostics leader IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. rallied in Q2 on strong financial results and multiple expansion. Competitive trends are strong and improving, highlighted by instrument placement growth of almost 25%, domestic lab growth more than twice that of its main competitor, rising sales productivity, and stability in rapid assays. We think that IDEXX's direct go-to-market model coupled with meaningful R&D-driven product enhancements will boost revenue and earnings growth over time.
Shares of electric vehicle company Tesla Motors, Inc. fell during Q2, driven down by concerns over dilution from recent equity financing and the complex Model X ramp and execution risk. The market also appeared skeptical of Tesla's announced intent to buy Solar City. We feel good about the brand Tesla has built and its execution on two top-of-the-line cars. Tesla has received over 370,000 reservations for the Model 3, representing nearly $18 billion in backlog. We are still evaluating the potential implications of a Tesla/Solar City deal.
AO World plc is the leading online seller of major domestic appliances in the U.K. AO sets itself apart through optimization of proprietary software and logistics and its focus on customer service. Shares of AO were down in Q2 as its expansion into Germany progressed more slowly than expected. The U.K. business continues to execute on its domestic plan and take share from competitors. We expect the German business to expand but at a more modest pace, while AO works to improve terms with vendors in advance of further volume expansion.
Shares of DNA sequencing company Illumina, Inc. fell in Q2 on first quarter revenue that missed Street expectations and a lowered forecast for 2016 due to weak first quarter sales of its HiSeq instrument line and a lower forecast for Europe. Management believes the issues are short-term, fixable, and unrelated to fundamental market demand. We continue to believe Illumina has a long runway for growth driven by increasing adoption of DNA sequencing in clinical markets such as cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
When reviewing performance attribution on our portfolio, please be aware that we construct the portfolio from the bottom up, one stock at a time. Each stock is included in the portfolio if it meets our rigorous investment criteria. To help manage risk, we are aware of our sector and security weights, but we do not include a holding to achieve a target sector allocation or to approximate an index. Our exposure to any given sector is purely a result of our stock selection process.
Baron Partners Fund gained 3.27% in the second quarter and outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index by 171 basis points. During the quarter, stock selection added value and overshadowed the negative effect of the Fund's relative sector weights.
The Fund may use leverage and is especially likely to do so when we believe prospects for businesses are favorable and stock prices of those businesses do not reflect those prospects. As of June 30, 2016, Baron Partners Fund had 129.6% of its net assets invested in securities, and this use of leverage in an up market contributed 52 basis points to relative performance.
Aside from leverage, outperformance of Information Technology (IT) investments and larger exposure to strong performing REIT and specialized finance stocks within the Financials sector contributed the most to relative results. Within IT, outperformance of Internet software & services holdings Zillow Group, Inc. and CoStar Group, Inc. and significantly larger exposure to this better performing sub-industry added the most value. Zillow and CoStar were the two largest contributors on an absolute basis. Strength in the sector was also attributable to the outperformance of Gartner, Inc., a provider of syndicated IT research, and Mobileye N.V., a vision-based advanced driver assistance systems software company. Gartner's shares increased on strong financial results, while Mobileye recouped losses suffered in the first quarter after management allayed investor concerns regarding competitive threats by announcing two autonomous program wins.
Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Industrials investments, and lack of exposure to the outperforming Consumer Staples sector detracted the most from relative results. Favorable stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector resulting from the outperformance of Manchester United plc, Vail Resorts, Inc., and recently re-purchased Under Armour, Inc. was outweighed by the negative effect of significantly larger exposure to the poor performing hotels, restaurants & leisure sub-industry. Weakness in Health Care was mainly due to the underperformance of Illumina, Inc., the third largest detractor from absolute results, and Inovalon Holdings, Inc., a health care data and analytics vendor. Inovalon's shares declined after the company's financial results fell short of Street expectations. Within Industrials, underperformance of Air Lease Corp., which leases commercial aircraft to airlines around the world, and Fastenal Co., an industrial supplies distributor, hurt relative results. Shares of Air Lease traded lower on concerns that "Brexit" would result in higher travel barriers and negatively impact passenger demand. Fastenal's stock price declined due to choppy monthly sales performance as a sharp decline in demand in oil and gas-impacted regions and the impact of a stronger dollar on multinational industrial customers weighed on results.

If Bubbles loses the fight, at the start of the next round the player controlling Bubbles will receive 1/2 of the Pillz placed on Bubbles, rounded down to the nearest unit, with a minimum of 1.
Bangers's Power is increased by 2 points. (Remember: Power * Pillz = Attack)
wow this card is too cheap rate green if you think so too
He is my favorite Powerpuff Girl.
great card when mixed with Shann.
First, play Shann with 6-8 pillz and hopefully you win
Second, play Bubbles with all your leftover pillz (a lot of players expect a bluff, so that you can get extra pillz)
If Bubbles loses, play any other Banger with 6 or more damage with the pillz you got back from Bubbles.
Third, you win!!!
Rate GREEN so others can see
His face in Lvl.4 looks like the fish in Lvl.1!!!!
Bubbles - 6/6 recover 1 pillz out of 2 (ability) and +2 Power (bonus)
- Very solid 6 damage (8 with fury), In fact he can 2HKO's with many cards of his clan like Shann, Blaaster Cr, Shogunn, Vermyn and many others.
- Potential of 8 power, which isn't shabby at all for a 4*, and 11 with Ambre.
- You can put down a lot of mind games with him, using him for attack or even as an efficient wall.
- He's an amazing combo with Shann, using her with 7/8 pillz, winning the round, then use him with all the pillz left 9/10, most of the players, they will imagine it will be a bluff instead you gonna kick their asses with Bubbles, the most unexpected card of the clan, if you will lose the round, well you will get back your pillz, at least most of them, and you gonna win in the third round
- His ability is great because if you win you deliver 6 or 8 damage, but if you lose you will get back most of the pillz, is like you never lose with this guy.
- He's so cheap, worth only 600 Clintz, it's really crazy for such a great card, with a lot of possibility to use him.
- His artworks his great I love it, even if I think that for his Bio and Art, it's gonna fit more into Ulu Watu clan.
- SoA and SoB hurt him a lot if together, but are really rare to find them together, but let's make anyway an example Bubbles vs Glorg it will reduce him to just 6/6 his basic Power and Damage, that anyway is the same of Glorg, so still you have chance to win, is really stable card.
- SoA kill his ability? he still can deliver 8 damage
- SoB kill his bonus? well if you're not sure you're going to win the round play few pillz and you will lose at least you will have some pilz back for win in the next round.
- Since he's a 4* got a lot of competition, in his clan, but is just up to you how to use, and up to your style to play.
Overall: 9/10. While I prefer Blaaster Cr over this card, this is a very great card, even if the Bangers players now they got a lot of 4* options, Chlora, Vermyn N, and Shogunn, but if you cannot afford the others you should definitely go for him, you will not be disappointed, and this card should not be overlooked!
That's my very first review, rate green if you like it, thanks
900 Clintz for one of the best cards of the clan, how hilarious. Seriously, what's the people thinking of this card? And what's worse, what's wrong with the economy?
A different answer than "I accidentally the economy" could fit here very well. Thanks.
This card is underpriced and should never reach the forbidden land of 1K. This card is rare, not rare as in rare status, but rare in it's being.
There are only two Bangers in the whole clan who can manipulate pills, Shann (who is elo banned forever & now him)
These two make a devastating combo in T2 and T1. You can pair him with any other banger and watch your opponent quake with fear literally. Have you ever played tic tac toe? If not that then perhaps chess? Ever heard of the famous damned if you do and damned if you don't? That is when a checkmate or defeat in either game is in the next turn no matter what you do. This card can fill that role magnificently. Most Bangers can breach the 6 damage wall and set up the 2HKO. If you manage to pull it off with six or seven pills. Then the next turn is checkmate. Unless faced with SOA or DR, then go all in. If your opponent meets you then they will more than likely be left with one or two pills while you will have three or four. This is the coup de Grace of any battle and has forced many to rage quit or time the battle out, knowing that defeat is imminent. Now I am going to be writing a review on him soon, but this has to be shared first. Also, he will never be in Ulu because of his origins and the fact that he uses water as a weapon. Ulu are about preserving water and nature, kind of like Roots, but he is not.
I have used this card for about half a year. Literally. He's been in a my deck for a while. I've had him before he was spammed on the market. When he was still 1-2k. Now this card, is very, very, mediocre. He can be a lifesaver if you use in the appropriate strategy, but in a clan with high power and damage, he's better off in a 25* deck.
He has three uses.
1. Defensive pilling. (Round 1)
2. 2HK0. You get 1/2 pills back. (Round 2, 3)
3. Bluffing. Don't pill = +1 pill back (Round 3)
As I have said, he can be very mediocre and predictable. It all depends on your opponent.
You look at his power and say 6 + (2 Bonus), wow that's good, right?
Meh. After level 30, I'd say he's done. There are tons of Ulu Watus and damage reducers, SoAs, and with a measily 6-8 power, he's not my first choice. That, and he's a win-loose card. If you win the round, his ability is meaningless, if you lose, even a tiny bit hurts. Bubbles in my opinion is underpriced, but should never go past 1k. He's a good choice if you're starting with the Bangers and is good until level 30 or if you're going with a 25* Bangers deck. Other than that, all the other 5* cards are just about better than him in everyway. Sure he's the second pill manipulator in the Bangers, but if you want a good 4* card, Bubbles is a mediocre choice.
Pros -
6 Power + (2 bonus)
6 damage is fitting for a Bangers card
Pill return ability
Very low price
4* card
Cons -
SoB makes him super mediocre
SoA makes his pill manip. useless
Shann is a better pill manipulator
Lennox or Blaaster Cr are better 4*
Final Ratings :
A person who's only been with this card for about a month would rate him 7/10 or 8/10
But I'm going to give him this rating because of his reliance on ability and bonus
The biggest plus side is his high, high damage. Perfect for a 2HK0 as the Bangers are good at.
Strategies w/ Bubbles
5 or 8 pill Shann
If she wins, proceed with all pills on Bubbles.
If Bubbles loses, pill another Banger. (Bodenpower?)
2. 1st round risk
1-6 pill on Bubbles
If you win, use Fixit for a fast KO
3. 3rd round risk
(Note: this is a game changing decision)
Either you will all pill Bubbles, or you will no pill him
The rest is up to your opponent. Some people don't know that if you put him in with no pills, you get a free pill back, but be careful, most people will stack two pills on their cards to check anyways, so the risk is up to you.

SeaWolves' Travis moves to outfield to help path to majors
Devon Travis has become a player the Detroit Tigers are looking to contribute at the major league level in the next few years.
With Ian Kinsler blocking him at second base, Travis is in the midst of changing his position.
Travis began working with outfield and baserunning coordinator Gene Roof and the second baseman made his career debut in center field on Thursday.
"I've never played the outfield before," Travis said. "Maybe when I was really, really young but never really played out there."
Travis, 23, is listed as the No. 4 prospect in the Detroit Tigers organization, according to MLB.com. He is hitting .297 with 20 doubles, seven triples, 10 home runs, 52 RBIs, 67 runs and 16 stolen bases in 99 games this season.
In his first few games in center field, Travis has made the catches he should and seems to be moving well and taking good routes to flyballs.
"It's a serious thing. We wouldn't throw him out there if it wasn't serious," Erie manager Lance Parrish said. "We'll see what he can do and if he can handle it. Detroit is looking for a center fielder and stranger things have happened. It might be a reality and he certainly looks like he can handle it."
Kinsler is owed $41 million over the next three years with a $10 million option in 2018. Detroit has tried several players in center field since including Austin Jackson in a trade for starting pitcher David Price.
Rajai Davis and Ezequiel Carrera have taken turns patrolling center field in Comerica Park but neither seem to be a long-term option with the Tigers asking Travis to change positions.
Ironically, Travis made his debut Thursday and Bowie leadoff hitter Mike Yastrzemski lined the third pitch of the game into center field. Travis hauled in the liner to shake off any nerves right away.
"It was definitely a little different but I think it went all right," Travis said. "I was just glad I didn't drop any balls, that's the main thing. Honestly, this game finds the odd man on the field at all times but it all worked out."

TAMPA, Fla. - Max Talbot was the Flyers' best player on Monday night against the Lightning. And the previous game. And two games before that. As well as he's playing, Talbot is not going to carry the Flyers to the Stanley Cup playoffs - and that's not a knock on him. The only route to the playoffs - if they still are a realistic possibility - is through production from their top line. And Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux have been on a milk carton for serious stretches of eight straight games.

Canadian Newspapers and the Paris Peace Conference of 1919: A Study of English-Language Media Opinion
Sauntry, Victor
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis is a study of English-language media opinion in relation to Canada's involvement in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Using The News Record, The Globe and the Manitoba Free Press, this thesis will examine how the English Canadian press presented the Paris Peace Conference to Canadians from November 1918 to its signing in June 1918. Historians have traditionally presented the Peace Conference as a turning point in Canadian history that accelerated Canada's maturity from a colony to a fully-fledged nation. This paper will argue that Canadians' understanding of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was far more complex than the orthodox interpretation would suggest. While Canadian newspapers were concerned with Canada's status, they devoted far more attention to other matters. Canadian newspapers spent time discussing reparations, the Kaiser, old diplomacy and the future League of Nations.

I am a member of the Dallas Bead Society and have taught classes at my local bead store as well as the Shreveport Bead Retreats.
I always loved jewelry and the sparkle, my Father always said "Find something you love and do it". Well in the 60's and 70's I was a little hippie and loved beads but never could find anybody that could really teach me how to make the jewelry that I wanted and my Mother wanted me to be a nurse (I hated the sight of blood) so that was out. I ended up being a bartender then a hairdresser then I found a person that taught me (in my 40's) how to really make the beaded jewelry that I liked. Then one day my Husband looked at all of the jewelry that I had made and said that I needed to sell some of my pieces, so I took them to work and the girls that I work with loved them. They suggested that I sell them in the Salon that we work in and the customers liked them too. Then I started dreaming about new designs and so I decided to write my own patterns my only problem is that I am dyslexic, and I thought maybe there was others out there like me. So I decided to make my patterns so that even beginners would have an easier time following them. Even now I have to admit some patterns are a little easier than others that I write then I learned that I loved teaching others how to do my patterns and also just the basic stitches in beading that you need to know to start. It is really funny how a business just takes off unexpectedly, I should have listened to my Father all those years ago I think I would have been much happier back then. Anyway I hope you enjoy my patterns as much as I have enjoyed them myself.
This is a tutorial for Paige's Wedding Necklace and Earrings. My friend wanted me to make the jewelry for her wedding her engagement ring had a blue topaze stone so I make all of her jewelry to match her ring.
This is a bead weaving tutorial that will teach you how to stitch this beautiful necklace and earrings. Some bead weaving experience is helpful but not necessary, if this is your first time beading then I would say that this is for the intermediate beader. I do try to make my Patterns easy enough for beginers but I still say that it is for the intemediate to beaders. This pattern is great as a gift for yourself or your favorite beader.
Please note that this is for the tutorial ONLY.
Skill Level: Intermediate
This tutorial includes 7 pages of detailed step by step instructions and a material list. I will send an email to the buyer with a PDF attachment after payment has been received, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
I hope you like making my designs as much as I've enjoyed creating them! I'll be adding new designs as quickly as I can make them, so check back often!
Please do not distribute, lend, teach, or copy these instructions. Please give credit to the designer.

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida told reporters on Monday that Hamas would resume arms smuggling as soon as possible.
"Do what you like, but manufacturing holy [sic] weapons is our goal," the masked spokesman said at a Hamas press conference.
"Bringing arms into Gaza is not smuggling," Obaida told reporters.
"The natural situation would be for all Arab and Muslim countries, along with the rest of the free world, to officially allow weapons into the Strip," he said.
"Meanwhile, we believe it is our right to bring arms in any way we see fit," he said.
According to Obaida, only 48 of Hamas fighters were killed during the Gaza operation, while Hamas killed 80 Israeli soldiers, a striking distortion of documented statistics.
The claim is not being taken seriously by Gaza residents, Jerusalem Post Palestinian Affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh reported.
"Hamas's claim that the movement lost only 48 of its gunmen and that the IAF [Israel Air Force] had used half of its ammunition in air strikes on the Gaza Strip is not being taken seriously by many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," Toameh wrote.
"Nor are many Palestinians taking seriously Hamas's claims that its men destroyed 47 tanks and armored vehicles, killed 80 IDF soldiers and wounded hundreds of others, Toameh wrote.
Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri also claimed victory in the Gaza operation.
"We are in a powerful, victorious position," al-Masri told Israel Radio on Monday. "Israel will soon learn that the balance of power has changed in Hamas' favor," he said.
A third Hamas official, who asked to remain anonymous, told Israel Radio that the Gaza op elevated Hamas to a higher status among its people.
"The people are not angry with Hamas," he said, "and the group will rebuild every home that was damaged."
Hamas called for a week-long cease-fire 12 hours after the Israeli government announced its decision to enact a unilateral cease-fire, which began at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday.

forecast was .60 new estimate = 30 to 38 !this is a catastrophic drop in earnings not 5 cents not 10 but up to 30 cents or 50% !and revenues to be only 4 % 6% for FY12 !IMO this is going under 25 !!
well, cut expectations, cut the employees and I guess the street or analysts did not appreciate that at all. like taking a torpedo in the engine room....What Adobe needs to do, no BS here, Adobe needs to 86 the engineer running the company and get a business man in there. What is wrong with the board, lets keep this self proclaimed engineer at the helm until he runs us into the ground. Time for a new CEO.
Could not agree more.
NOT True. More like 25% The news is bad enough. Don't make it worse. :-)SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Adobe Systems /quotes/zigman/67665/quotes/nls/adbe ADBE -8.97% on Tuesday said it is cutting about 750 jobs, mainly in North America and Europe as part of a restructuring of the company. The company said it expects to record about $87 million to $94 million in pre-tax restructuring charges. As a result of the move, the company said it expects GAAP diluted earnings per share to be in the range 30 cents to 38 cents a share, compared to a previous expected range of 41 cents to 50 cents a share. Adobe share were down 7% in after-hours trading.
That post is a lie check yahoo it says .60 centshttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=ADBE+Analyst+Estimates
Adobe pe is 18 but growth is only ggoing to be 4 - 6% in 2012This will probably test 52 week low of 22.67 in the next 30 days.Accept it or lose your gains !

Amarillo police Tuesday investigated two reports of late-night drive-by shootings in north Amarillo.
Police said two men in a reddish-orange extended-cab Dodge pickup fired a shot about 10 p.m. at a man on the porch of a home in the 700 block of North Grant Street. No one was injured.
About 30 minutes later, police responded to a second call, in the 5400 block of Keystone Drive, about four miles from the first shooting. Police said the rear window of a parked and unoccupied vehicle was shot out using a shotgun. No one was injured.

The Manchester Representative Council's president Lucille Cohen has criticised claims made by media mogul Richard Desmond that antisemitism was the result of ostentatious simchah celebrations.
Mr Desmond made the comments last week at the Manchester CST dinner. Mrs Cohen said she disagreed with him, saying "antisemitism is a phenomenon that has existed from time immemorial and raises its head in each and every generation, often exhibiting a changed complexion. It does not need catalysts, just pretexts."
Mrs Cohen also urged delegates to support the Father's House Christian community, which is facing eviction from its premises over its support of Israel. She pointed out that the Welsh church group had recently supported the Manchester Jewish community in its fight against an anti-Israel exhibition at a Methodist church.
Dealing with those close to death in accordance with Jewish medical ethics was the special subject at the Council's meeting on Sunday.
Orthodox Jewish charity Interlink and consultant Michael Finlay gave a presentation on training about end-of-life care. They explained to the 50 delegates that UK legislation and medical guidelines now mean doctors must be sensitive to the Jewish ethic of not causing despair to terminally ill patients. They also said that the halachic living will, a legal document which guides doctors on how Jewish patients want to die, has become more understood.

Miami Dolphins? Lamar Miller Will Start Week 1
The Miami Dolphins? running back competition appears to be over, and the guy expected to win it all along ? Lamar Miller ? has done just that.
Late Monday afternoon, the Dolphins released their depth chart for this weekend?s season opener in Cleveland, and Miller ? the homegrown talent from the University of Miami ? occupied the top line.
Meaning: Short of a last-minute change in plans, Miller ? and not Daniel Thomas ? will start against the Browns.
If so, Miller will officially succeed Reggie Bush as the Dolphins? featured back, which should come as little surprise. His soaring potential was a major factor in the team letting Bush walk in free agency back in March.

text: 000 FXUS63 KFSD 240349 AFDFSD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 1049 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Sep 23 2016 Not a lot going on in the near term tonight, other than low clouds and possible patchy fog hanging on north of the warm front in the northern sections of southwest MN. But otherwise the weather looks quiet with much above normal temperatures for lows. Bias corrected values are too chilly for tonight due to the unusual pattern going on. Therefore raw model and conventional MOS values were much better. Still looking at the well advertised and very large upper low beginning to greatly influence our weather for Saturday. The center of the upper low should move slowly from central WY to extreme northwest SD. Dealing with basically mass moisture transport in a deep layer. Rainfall will first begin late tonight and early Saturday in our western zones from the James Valley westward, then slowly migrate eastward through the day. There is a lack of discernible short wave moving northward with the upper flow, just a broad area of mid and upper QG forcing moving eastward across the forecast area with the upper low. Due to the slow progression of the accompanying surface cold front and thus drier air behind it, worried about areas of heavy rainfall, especially east of the James River valley late morning and afternoon Saturday. The 0-6km mean flow is very southerly to south southwest, therefore am anticipating bands of showers and embedded TSRA forming in north to south orientated lines, and then moving nearly northward. Seeing that the FSD airport recorded 0.70 tenths of an inch of rain in 15 minutes early this morning, one can see that it would not be a stretch of the imagination to see some areas get 2 to 4 inches of rainfall if you get under a heavy band of rain which lingers over your area for an hour or two. But due to the showery nature of the precip with the banded rainfall, not everyone will see these kinds of amounts of course. Did not put out a flood watch at this time because the forecast area`s rivers are well below flood. So this could be more of a periodic urban flood event in poor drainage areas, again getting under a heavy band of rainfall. PWATS are of course high, but they are contaminated by the convection. More interesting are the soundings are conditionally unstable with moderately thin cape. The thetae advection and warm air advection is disjointed and hard to follow. But it was last Thursday also when parts of the forecast area got 3 to 6 inches of rainfall. So not letting that alter the rain potential for Saturday. Finally, due to the rainfall and abundant cloud cover, not too concerned about severe weather on Saturday, just the aforementioned areas of heavy rain threat. The mid level winds are quite stout. But the unidirectional wind flow suggests a lot of multicellular clustering, not conducive for strong rotational characteristics. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Sep 23 2016 The cold front as well as the associated band of showers and storms will move steadily east out of the area Saturday night, although there may be decent early evening storm coverage in the far eastern parts of our northwest IA/southwest MN areas. Everything should be gone before daybreak Sunday and clouds will temporarily decrease behind the front. temperatures will cool into the 50s. The trailing short wave and surge of cooler air should combine to bring an area of cloudy to mostly cloudy skies across the northern and eastern parts of the area Sunday. This combination with the breezy to windy conditions will also make it feel chilly, with highs in the 60s. A few sprinkles or light showers seem at least a little possibility, but after coordination will leave out for now with the limited instability from mid levels on up preventing anything from going very high up above bases. High temperatures will be in the 60s, but after the current warm and humid weather, people outdoors will probably think afternoon temps feel like 50s at best. Sunday night through midweek will see a warming trend and developing strong ridging. Clouds and cool temperatures may hang close to the east side of the area for a day or so, otherwise the coming week should be mostly mild and dry. Feel model high temperatures are too low for Tuesday on, but we are past the equinox in terms of the sun heating potential, so after coordination am leaving guidance high temperatures alone for now. There appears to be a small chance of showers or storms developing near the end of the week, as moisture begins to increase, but do not see enough upper support and moisture combination to go any higher than that very low chance mention. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) Issued at 1038 PM CDT Fri Sep 23 2016 Stratus hanging very close to FSD taf late this evening, but should remain just northeast. Weak isentropic lift will continue to develop ACCAS across Kansas and Nebraska overnight, with potential that we could have very light showers move into the area after 11z and continue into mid-morning. Coverage may be on the lower end, so will only mention a VCSH ATTM. Some of the higher resolution CAMs indicate a break in the late morning hours, before an increase in convection after 17-18Z. Will include a window in the afternoon with prevailing thunder. The initial activity should slide late in the afternoon on the prefrontal trough, but the primary cold front won`t arrive until late in the evening. This front may also provide isolated to scattered storms along with it. && .FSD Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...None. MN...None. IA...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...MJ LONG TERM...

New year, old flame?
Katy Perry and John Mayer may have been making fireworks of their own over the weekend – the on-and-off couple got cozy at the Grateful Dead farewell concert series in Chicago.
Just call them the love club.
Katy Perry and John Mayer spent Valentine's Day enjoying each other's company at a private table in the VIP room at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood.
So what's a girl to wear for a fun night of music and love? A festive blunt-cut wig with a tiara on top, along with a black crop top and black retro skirt.
Bootsy Bellows
West Hollywood, CA
to my to do list
While promoting her upcoming album in New York City, Katy Perry joined boyfriend John Mayer and friends at The Lion on Monday night.
After a busy day – the singer's single "Roar" hit the Internet – Perry caught up with friends at the bar before heading upstairs to a private room for dinner.
"Katy and John were adorable," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "Katy introduced him to people as her boyfriend and John affectionately held her close with his arm around her."
Just as the 15 guests were finishing their entrees, Perry's pal Rihanna arrived.
Sure, celebs can sign a fan's guitar, but how many actually
buy them one?
"I started crying and screaming. I was the luckiest and happiest person alive," aspiring musician Julie Fermin tells PEOPLE of being gifted a guitar from her idol John Mayer.
Fermin, 16, was browsing the selection at Rudy's Music in New York City Friday when Mayer – who had performed on Today that morning – and his girlfriend Katy Perry entered the shop.
"[My friends and I] started freaking out and getting super excited," Fermin says of happening upon two of her "favorite singers."
Katy Perry and John Mayer's on-again, off-again romance appears to be back on.
After recently telling Vogue magazine that she was "still madly in love" with Mayer, Perry was spotted out with the "Paper Doll" singer at New York's Greenwich Hotel on Saturday night and, later, at Monday's Friars Foundation Annual Applause Awards Gala honoring Don Rickles at the Waldorf-Astoria.
At the event, Mayer performed a tune made famous by Frank Sinatra, which captivated Perry.
"When John performed, Katy was enamored by his performance," a source tells PEOPLE. "He sang 'One for My Baby (and One More for the Road).' When they were sitting down, she had her arm around John at one point. They shared kisses."

If your workflow includes working with Illustrator and also InDesign and you're taking artwork from Illustrator and you are placing it into InDesign, the file format of choice should be using a native Illustrator file. In other words, don't save your file as an EPS file, but save it as a native Illustrator file. And the reason why is because a native Illustrator file contains unflattened transparency or what we like to call live transparency. Now InDesign has the ability to process files with transparency and then when you print out of InDesign, you can then flatten your file at that later stage.
In fact, the preferred workflow whenever you're working with transparency is to delay that flattening process as late as possible in the workflow. So by taking native live information from Illustrator and bringing it into InDesign, you were keeping that transparency in an unflattened state, until you need to print it later on from InDesign. Let's exactly see how that works. In my exercise Files here in Chapter 5, I have a file here called floral.ai and floral.eps. They are the exact same image.
However, they have been saved both as an Illustrator file and also as an EPS file using that High Resolution flattener setting. Now I am going to switch over here to InDesign for a moment and what I am going to do is I am going to create a new document. We don't need Facing Pages here. I am just going to click OK, take the default settings, and I am going to use my regular Rectangle tool here to draw some kind of a colored background. I want to see what's going to happen when I place this artwork onto a colored background. Then I'll choose maybe just yellow as the solid color there. It's nice and bright. Now I'll deselect that artwork. I have nothing selected right now.
I'll choose File > Place and inside of that chapter 05 folder in my Exercise Files, I will place this file called floral.ai, but I'll also hold down the Shift key and choose the floral.eps file. In InDesign, you can actually place multiple files at once. So I am going to choose Open and I am going to click once over here and click once over here. I don't want to click in the yellow area because I don't want InDesign to think that I want to place this art into that yellow frame. So I now have two pieces of artwork and what I am going to do is I am going to turn on the High-Quality Preview setting.
I am just going to right-click on any blank area on my screen. I am going to choose Display Performance and choose High Quality Display. That's going to display my Illustrator artwork inside of InDesign, the same way as I would see if I were back inside of Illustrator. Now take a look over here, if I kind of drag both these elements here onto the artboard. You can see that even though I had this on the background here, and I'll press W to activate the Preview setting and hide my frames, that the EPS version which is the version that's down here. that one has a white background here, whereas this one which is the native Illustrator file has the drop shadow blend beautifully into the yellow background.
The reason why that happens is because again in the native Illustrator file, I havea live transparency. That drop shadow has not been rasterized yet into a flattened state, whereas here in this case in EPS that now has just a rectangular white background inside of that file. So there is no way for me to kind of have this image here blend into any kind of a nice background. Whereas in InDesign, I can now have this drop shadow kind of blend into any background that I choose. And again the main thing here is that I've delayed that flattening process.
I've brought files from Illustrator into InDesign without invoking that flattening process. So what does this mean? It means when I now print out of InDesign, I could choose a flattener setting and that will determine how this artwork inside the Illustrator file gets flattened as well. Taking this a step further, if I were to actually now create a PDF out of InDesign, I could create a PDF that does not contain any flattened transparency inside of it, meaning transfer this live transparency even one further step in the workflow, so that I don't flatten it until I actually get to Acrobat.
We'll talk more about PDF files a little bit later in this chapter, but it's important to realize that if you're working with InDesign, it's always going to be more beneficial for you to save your files out of Illustrator in the native AI format, instead of using EPS.

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."

Several letters have been published in the Amarillo Globe-News lately concerning the city's water supply.
Let me point out that water is never used up, just dirtied up and sent on its way.
The challenge is to clean it up and reuse it.
Sewage effluent, when properly treated, can be used to irrigate non-food crops, water golf courses, create riparian habitat and cool nuclear reactors. Sewage from the city of Phoenix is used for all of these purposes.
Yes, the Palo Verde nuclear plant is cooled by treated waste water.
Sometimes a problem becomes a real asset.

Aino Kallas
|Aino Kallas
Aino Kallas
|2 August, 1878
|9 November, 1956
Aino Krohn Kallas (August 2, 1878 – November 9, 1956) was a Finnish - Estonian author. Her novellas are considered to be prominent pieces of Finnish literature.[1] Kallas is also known for her love affair with the legendary poet Eino Leino.
Kallas was the daughter of Julius Krohn, a nationally known Finnish scientist and fennoman, and the sister of Kaarle Krohn.[1] Her father was also one of the first people to publish poetry written in Finnish language. In 1900, Kallas married Oskar Kallas (b. 1868), an Estonian scholar, doctor of folklore and later diplomat. The couple lived in Saint Petersburg and had five children. In 1904, they moved to Tartu, Estonia. Kallas became interested in the history and culture of her new homeland and she joined Noor-Eesti, a sociocultural society which campaigned for the independence of Estonia. Although she continued writing in Finnish, she often wrote about Estonian subjects.[1] She lived in London from 1922 to 1934, while her husband was Estonia's ambassador to the United Kingdom.[2] She published her diaries for the period 1897-1931 in the 1950s.
A recurring theme in Kallas's novellas is what she termed "the slaying Eros", a love that often leads to death, especially prominent in her trilogy of Barbara von Tisenhusen (1923), Reigin Pappi (The Pastor of Reigi, 1926), and Sudenmorsian (The Wolf's Bride, 1928).[3] The Pastor of Reigi and Barbara von Tisenhusen were soon translated into English and published in 1927 as Eros the Slayer. The language of her most famous story, Sudenmorsian, a werewolf story set in 17th century Hiiumaa, is rich with archaic, Romantic, colorful prose, something of a Kallas trademark.[3] These three stories have more recently been published in one English-language volume as Three Novels (1975). A collection of her short stories was published in English under the title The White Ship, with a foreword by John Galsworthy in 1924.

Behind the critical acclaim he has earned for the modern French cuisine at Restaurant Eve, chef/owner Cathal (pronounced CA-hull) Armstrong, a native Dubliner, has a simple philosophy: "Nature is perfect. Extract the flavor. Enhance it. Don't take away from it." In addition to the upscale cuisine in what Armstrong calls his Tasting Room, there's excellent but less formal fare, with multi-cultural influences, in the Bistro. — Jess Kapadia, 2/19/11
