Mixed culture solera-style ale aged in bourbon barrels for 131 days. We currently have a couple small solera-style projects in process. If you're not familiar with a solera, it's the result of removing a portion of beer from a barrel and topping it up with fresh beer or wort. The first beer pulled out of these barrels was aged 131 days in third hand bourbon barrels lending a light balance of wood and vanilla flavors to this dry, light, citrusy and crisp farmhouse ale. We refilled the barrels immediately, so the next release will be a blend of old and young(er) farmhouse ale. We expect Solera to change over time, with the average age of the beer growing older with each successive harvest - shifting away from the wood and vanilla flavors towards more funk and acidity.

Calculating combinations in poker - why?
I've read articles and books that suggest calculating combinations in poker is a good way of evaluating hand ranges. Let's say you have AA and the board is 10-J-2-3-2, and you narrow down a particular villain's range to JJ, 1010 and QK when he fires a third barrel for pot on the river. The book or article will then suggest that there are 6 combinations of JJ, 6 of 1010, and 16 of QK. Add up these and you win just 16/28 when he has QK and lose 12/28 when he fills up and since you only have to win 1/3 times it's an easy call etc.
However this all seems impractical to me, since the combinations in reality will not be equally distributed. For example here your opponent may only bluff occasionally with the QK and usually have the boat, in which case the call will be -EV. So why calculate combinations when in reality ranges are so weighted? Isn't it more practical to just think of the villain's history and say: well i remember he shows up with a full house in this spot around 4/5 times so I should fold.
So why do books on poker strategy put so much emphasis on combinations in poker, when you can effectively figure out villain's likely (weighted) range by their showdown history? I feel like I'm missing something here...
Is there any advantage at all of instead narrowing your opponent's range to a bunch of hands and adding up all the combinations? It just seems pointless and misleading (since the frequencies of each combination will be different).
re: Poker & Calculating combinations in poker - why?
Im currently learning to think in combos, im playing with equilab which is software from pokerstrategy.com i fund this thread, i think that it can help
you also can check out the last few pages of my thread -ev where i tried playing with equilab
this process of thought isnt working for you because youre doing it wrong. thats a ridic range to assign even after a 3rd barrel regardless of villain.
post a hand with bulk relevant stats and get other people to narrow villains range so you can see how they do it
What I don't get is how people say things like: well there are 16 combos of AK but only 6 combos of JJ so it's almost 3 times as likely that he'll have AK, when in practice you might find that he shows up with AK and JJ just as often because he likes playing JJ more.
re: Poker & Calculating combinations in poker - why?
Hi Tom. I think that combos are important and suggest the way you use maths in poker is entirely your decision. If you think that all these calculations are expect to run within 60 secs it can be very difficult to work everything out. Then remember you probably play 15 - 20 hands every 10 mins - that can give you a headache !!
The more we learn about maths in poker - the more there is to learn. I believe you need to know the basics and then apply tem as you feel fit. Poker is not just about probabilty, there is "common sense", "Gut feeling" and "variance" as well. Take the maths seriously, but dont forget to enjoy the game as well, otherwise it is a waste of time.
Gl to you all, however you play.........
So going back to my initial question, the point I was trying to make was that assuming ranges tend to be weighted in some way, wouldn't it be misleading to use pokerstove or add up combos to calculate a player's range?
To put this into perspective, I've played a lot of 2nl and 5nl recently and I tend to check raise bluff with a wide range of hands OTF and generally have a very narrow value range (TPTK+). Someone might mistakenly add up all my possible bluff combos in a certain position and all my value combos and conclude: "Ah, he has just as my bluffing hands in his range as value hands. Therefore I should call." When in actual fact, at these limits I tend to be value checkraising with the nuts far more often than when I'm bluffing, so calling would be -EV for them. Some of the regs who've played a lot of hands against me might instead think, "Ok well I know from showdown history that after this guy check raises OTF he shows up with a bluff 10 percent of the time and a strong value hand the other 90 percent. Therefore I should almost always fold here"
This is the approach I use when I think about ranges of my opponent's hands. I never add up all of the exact combinations for what my opponents might have and mathematically calculate a range based on this, not only does this take far too long at the table but it also misleads you to make the wrong conclusion. All i do is think back about what my opponent tends to showdown after making a certain play and evaluate from that information whether my hand is good. I mean, I'm still a winning player at these limits (12bb/100 over a large sample), so my method seems to be working to some extent.
But since people put a lot of emphasis into the importance of calculating the combos a player can have, I'd like to know if there's an approach to range evaluation and calculating combos that could improve my winrate further, and which also takes into account the unequal distributions in people's ranges.
I understand what you're saying but in a vacuum, if somebody is opening a certain % of hands from each position we probably have to assume he's always doing it with the same frequency simply because its part of their range. Of course poker is not played in a vacuum and there is a lot more to it: table dynamics, somebody might feel like QQ is his lucky hand today so he'll be opening only those hands etc -> it all leads to weighted ranges. IMO at the end it all comes down to your exploitative skills, if somebody is folding a lot OTF you dont have to bother with counting combinations to make sure you are always x/r with a balanced range etc.
re: Poker & Calculating combinations in poker - why?
you can weight ranges across aggregate players or even for a single player if you want, but that doesn't ignore combination counting. Its even more important to consider combinations with respect to blockers, look at your initial example, there aren't 6 combos of JJ and 6 of TT, there are 3 of each due to combinations, its also especially useful when a turn or river card blocks a significant part of their range, which turns a break even call into a great call or fold.
Thanks for the feedback. This seems to be making a bit more sense now. I think I was getting too concerned about calculating a ton load of combos at the table. But from what you are saying it doesn't seem like that is necessary, and that at the table you should use math and your KNOWLEDGE of combinations to do things like use and interpret blockers, as you suggested, to reduce the likelihood of a certain part of his range.

Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
We love our SkipHop diaper bag! I wish that I had bought one sooner than I did. With magnetic closures and hiuge pockets, you can carry everything you need, and all of the tings you want, with ease! We can easily pack this bag for a quick trip out, or pack everything we would need for a weekend out. The shuttle clips are standard and make attaching the bag to a stoller easy! You can also use them to attach the bag to a shopping cart. The shoulder strap is padded, which I love, but that pad is also removeable if you want to take it off. The strap is easily adjustable, making it the perfect length for me or my husband. You can also take the strap off completely when the shuttle clips are in use. We love that the clips stay attached to the bag, unlike other stroller clips. The mesh side pocket is perfect for holding a bottle or sippy cup. There are 2 outside. pockets that are deep and close with magnets. The bag is easily cleaned.
Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
I really love this diaper bag!
It has a lot of storage room, two front pockets, two side pockets (one that hold a bottle or sippy cup and the other is a cell phone holder), two zippered pockets and a big main area, which has two smaller pockets inside which I use to hold diapers in one and my wipes in the other.
I really appreciate how this diaper bag is easy to get in and out of. The main pocket and front two pockets open and close with magnets, which is to helpful when you are holding a baby in one hand and only have one hand free.
I also like the changing pad that come with the diaper bag. It's not too big and not too small, just the right size for a diaper change.
I specifically picked this black color because I wanted something that I wouldn't mind carrying and my husband wouldn't mind carrying either. I didn't care about having a cute little pink one, having my husband wanting and able to carry it was more important to me.
Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
I've already reviewed my favorite diaper bag-the Vera Bradley. Now it's time to talk about my husband's favorite. The Skip Hop Duo. This bag is very cool. It doesn't really look like a diaper bag but it has all the features of a super cool diaper bag. This is our go to diaper bag for amusement park trips. It has straps that latch on to stroller handle bars, making it the perfect bag for long days out.
And don't get me started on the pockets-holy smokes-this bag has so many pockets. I have never been so organized as I am when we carry this bag. The only thing I don't like is that the interior fabric is kind of dark making it hard to see inside the bag. Other than that, this bag is great. We can carry plenty of stuff for a day out with all four of our boys AND stay organized doing it!

DH received this bag as a man diaper bag. I heard it was small but totally opposite--there are plenty of pockets and I can cram everything but the nursery in this bag. I believe that I use it alot more than DH b/c I just feel in love with it. I still use my Graco bag as well but its not as user friendly as this one.

OK, I fully admit as a Mommy, I have 2 weaknesses: strollers, and diaper bags! For some reason I'm always looking for the next great thing. (OK, I might have to add car seats to this...yikes!) Craigslist has been fantastic because I can try out things without spending a bunch of money. And when I'm done with them, or if I don't like it, I can always resell. I found a brown Skip Hop Duo Deluxe diaper bag on there for 1/5 the price of a new one, so I had to pick it up! It was a little dirty but I tossed it in my washer and air dried it, and it was absolutely fine! Skip Hop Duo, how I love thee, let me count the ways...I love the zippered pockets on top for wallets and such. I keep my wallet and "purse" items in one pocket, and the kids' bibs in the other. There's a netted pocket for my cell phone, and a velcro pocket that can hold my digital camera or even my iPod Touch. The inside is ROOMY with a bunch of side pockets to keep everything organized. I keep the dipes, wipes, and snacks in there. It's deep enough that I can stuff a toy or doll in there if needed. It beats carrying everything seprately! My fave feature are the 2 HUGE cup pockets on the front! I can put a sippy in each pocket for my daughters, and they are ready to go! The shuttle clips are a great idea too, you can remove the shoulder strap and clip it to your stroller. (I had another bag like this, and I clipped it to the side of my graco duoglider, which freed up more basket space.) Try this bag!
Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
I've been using my Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag now for almost 5 months and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! When I was doing my registry at the store I was really disppointed in the available options. I like very simple patterns and styles and found most of the diaper bags a little too cutesy for my taste. I also didn't want my husband to be embarassed having to walk around with a pink diaper bag (not really his style LOL). The Skip Hop is perfect - simple and stylish! My sister had a baby 4 months before I did and got this same bag...as soon as I saw her bag I knew that I had to get the same one. My best friend is pregnant now and her husband is VERY jealous of our bag. The bag has one large middle compartment with two small side compartments. In these sections I keep diapers, burp cloths, spare clothes, and formula (with plenty of room to spare). The top of the bag contains a zippered pocket on each side (one is bigger than the other). On one side of the bag there are two small side pockets - I use these to hold a few of my grocery bags as well as snacks. The other side holds the foldable diaper changing pad. The two ends each have a compartment: one is mesh where I put her bottle and gas drops. The other side is a pocket with a velcro closure - this is where I keep my cellphone. I can't believe how much stuff I can keep in this bag...unfortunately it means I also end up over-packing. All in all I love this bag so much and am so glad I found the Skip Hop.
Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
What i love most about this diaper bag is the many many pockets. Mamas can never have enough pockets in their diaper bag, given the amount of accessories babies come with these days. I expect they will become even more useful when my son starts eating regular food and needing lots of toys to keep him entertained. Love the magnet closures too! Especially when there are little ones who are trying to spill things and make a mess.
The black color is perfect because it means i can hand it off to my husband without him flinching. He really does not mind carrying this one at all. It also looks great with my stroller, a bumbleride indie, since it is a nice neutral without being matchy matchy. The black is also great because it does not show any dirt really. This bag is so easy to clean anyway! Hubby spilled breast milk all over accidentally and we had no problem cleaning up with a wet cloth.
Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
This diaper bag came recommended to me by both my sister-in-law (mom of 4) and my sister (mom of 2). I got it at my shower and began using it right away. I love that the strap does NOT need to be removed (the older models did not have this feature) in order to attach it to your stroller or cart. I love how easy it is to remove the bag from the cart as well. There are two front pockets which I use for wipes and diapers. There is a large pocket on the back that I use to keep the changing pad (included) and my baby's doctor records. On the side, there is a pocket for your phone...but I use it to store pacifiers so they don't get tainted. On the other side there is a great mesh pocket where you can either store a bottle or your own drink. Sometimes when I have the bag attached to the shopping cart, I will use it for my coffee. Inside the bag is a very large roomy pocket that I use for outfits, toys, blankets, and other items. There are two top pockets as well. I use one for baby food, a spoon and a little bowl. The other top pocket I fill with "mom snacks" and some little items like sunscreen, chapstick, etc. This bag is SUPER durable and is the only diaper bag I really need for day to day use.

Comments about Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag:
Yeah! I finally found a diaper bag that works for me. Everything from the strap to the pockets to the bottle holders are just what I am looking for. I kinda felt guilty buying another diaper bag (everyone was wondering "how many do you need?") but I did it and I love it.
The middle strap is adjustable so you can carry it across your body or with the short hand straps. There are pockets galore - enough for baby's things AND mommy's. The bottle holders are the perfect size for bottle/sippy cup or a water bottle. Again, they are adjustable so it can be cinched around the drink so there is no need to worry about anything falling out. The bag wipes clean. And how could I do a review without mentioning the patterns?!? I love everyone one of them which made it hard to choose. I think there is one for everyone's personality. I would definitely recommend this to new moms so they do not have to go through all the bags I had to in finding the perfect one.

United States District Court, N.D. California, San Jose Division
February 11, 2015
CHRIS WERDEBAUGH, Plaintiff,v.BLUE DIAMOND GROWERS, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE Re: Dkt. No. 197
LUCY H. KOH, District Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff Chris Werdebaugh's ("Plaintiff" or "Werdebaugh") motion for voluntary dismissal of this action with prejudice. ECF No. 197. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court finds this matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument and hereby VACATES the hearing and case management conference scheduled for May 14, 2015. Having considered the parties' submissions, the relevant law, and the record in this case, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal with prejudice. This order does not preclude Defendant from otherwise seeking appropriate attorney's fees or costs pursuant to statute or rule.
The gravamen of Plaintiff's action is that Defendant Blue Diamond Growers ("Defendant"), a leading producer of almond milk products, violated federal regulations and California law by deceptively labeling and advertising its products. More specifically, Plaintiff takes issue with Defendant's use of the "All Natural" labeling claim, and listing the sweetener used in its products as "Evaporated Cane Juice" instead of as "sugar." Second Am. Compl. ("SAC"), ECF No. 136, ¶¶ 31, 42. Plaintiff alleges violations of 21 C.F.R. §§ 101.4(a)(1), 101.22, 101.30, 102.5(a), 102.5(d), and 120.1(a), as well as 21 U.S.C. § 343, and California Health & Safety Code Sections 110390, 110395, 110398, 110400, 110660, 110720, 110725, 110735, 110740, 110760, 110765, and 110770. See SAC ¶¶ 64-76.
Werdebaugh filed his original Complaint on May 29, 2012. ECF No. 1. Blue Diamond filed an answer on September 25, 2012. ECF No. 20. The Parties stipulated to Plaintiff filing an amended complaint as well as to the Court dismissing with prejudice claims in the original Complaint based on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. ECF Nos. 36, 37. Werdebaugh filed his FAC on May 24, 2013. ECF No. 38. Blue Diamond filed its motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to strike particular allegations in the FAC on June 24, 2013. ECF No. 46. On July 22, 2013, Plaintiff filed his opposition, ECF No. 48. Defendant filed its reply on August 30, 2013. ECF No. 58. On October 2, 2013, the Court denied Defendant's motion to dismiss and motion to strike. ECF No. 65. Defendant subsequently filed an Answer to the FAC on November 1, 2013. ECF No. 69.
On January 17, 2014, Werdebaugh moved for class certification. ECF No. 74. Defendant filed an opposition on March 7, 2014, ECF No. 98, along with evidentiary objections to Plaintiff's expert declarations filed in support of class certification, ECF Nos. 102-03. Plaintiff responded to Defendant's evidentiary objections on March 20, 2014, ECF Nos. 110-11, and on March 28, 2014 filed a reply, ECF No. 115. The Court held a hearing on May 22, 2014, and on May 23, 2014, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff's motion for class certification. ("Class Cert. Order"), ECF No. 131.
Following the Court's order on class certification, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on June 3, 2014. ECF 136. Following the close of expert discovery, Defendant filed a motion to decertify the damages class on October 30, 2014. ECF No. 167. Plaintiff filed his opposition to the motion for decertification on November 13, 2014. ECF No. 175. Defendant filed its reply on November 20, 2014. ECF No. 180. Defendant's motion to decertify was set for hearing on December 4, 2014. On December 2, 2014, the Court vacated the hearing pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b). ECF No. 182. The Court granted Defendant's motion to decertify the damages class on December 15, 2014. ECF No. 190. On December 27, 2014, Plaintiff filed his motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration of the Court's decertification order. The Court denied Plaintiff's motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration on January 29, 2015. ECF No. 199.
Simultaneously with its motion to decertify, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on October 30, 2014. ECF No. 166. Pursuant to the Court's November 7, 2014 order, ECF No. 172, Plaintiff filed his opposition to the motion for summary judgment on December 8, 2014, ECF No. 187, and Defendant filed its reply on January 12, 2015, ECF No. 196. Defendant's motion for summary judgment was set for hearing on February 5, 2015.
On January 29, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for voluntary dismissal of this action. ECF No. 197. In light of the upcoming hearing on Defendant's motion for summary judgment, that same day the Court ordered Defendant to file a response by February 2, 2015. ECF No. 198. Defendant filed its timely opposition and objection. ECF No. 201.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), a plaintiff may request dismissal of an action after the filing of an answer or motion for summary judgment by order of the Court, "on terms that the [C]ourt considers proper." See also Westlands Water Dist. v. United States, 100 F.3d 94, 96 (9th Cir. 1996). "A district court should grant a motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) unless a defendant can show that it will suffer some plain legal prejudice as a result." Smith v. Lenches, 263 F.3d 972, 975 (9th Cir. 2001).
In the instant case, Plaintiff moves to dismiss his action with prejudice and argues that Defendant will not suffer "plain legal prejudice" as defined by the Ninth Circuit. The Court agrees.
While dismissals under Rule 41(a)(2) are subject to the discretion of the district court, the Ninth Circuit has instructed that a district court "should grant" such motions unless a defendant can show it will "suffer some plain legal prejudice as a result." Lenches, 263 F.3d at 975. "[L]egal prejudice is... prejudice to some legal interest, some legal claim, some legal argument." Westlands, 100 F.3d at 97. Legal prejudice does not include "the threat of future litigation, " or uncertainty "because a dispute remains unresolved." Lenches, 263 F.3d at 976 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Moreover, the mere fact that "defendant will be inconvenienced by having to defend in another forum" or that "plaintiff would gain a tactical advantage by" a dismissal is insufficient to show legal prejudice. Id. (quoting Hamilton v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 679 F.2d 143, 145 (9th Cir. 1982)).
Defendant makes two arguments with regards to legal prejudice: (1) that Plaintiff has failed to offer a sufficient explanation for his motion; (2) that Defendant's motion for summary judgment is fully briefed and ripe for adjudication. The Court addresses each argument in turn.
Here, Plaintiff explains that he seeks voluntary dismissal because the Court decertified the Rule 23(b)(3) damages class, Defendant refuses to attend a settlement negotiation, settlement discussions have reached an impasse, and Plaintiff no longer desires to pursue the action. Mot. at 5. Plaintiff further explains that he has not begun trial preparation. The Court finds these reasons to be sufficient. While the Court is not unsympathetic to Defendant's frustration with the timing of Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal, a mere four days before the scheduled hearing on Defendant's fully briefed motion for summary judgment, under binding Circuit authority, this Court "should grant" motions for voluntary dismissal absent a showing of "plain legal prejudice." See Lenches, 263 F.3d at 975.
Defendant relies on United States v. Berg, 190 F.R.D. 539 (E.D. Cal. 1999), for a four-factor test in determining whether a defendant has suffered legal prejudice. See Opp. at 1. Defendant contends that under the Berg test, Defendant has shown legal prejudice. However, Berg cannot be reconciled with binding Ninth Circuit authority. The Berg court explained its four factor test as including: "(1) The defendant's effort and expense involved in preparing for trial; (2) Excessive delay and lack of diligence on the part of the plaintiff in prosecuting the action; (3) Insufficient explanation of the need to take a dismissal; and (4) The fact that summary judgment has been filed by the defendant." Id. at 543. The Berg court was relying on the four factor test applied by the Eighth Circuit in Paulucci v. City of Duluth, 826 F.2d 780, 783 (8th Cir. 1987). However, the Ninth Circuit "decline[d] to adopt the Eighth Circuit's analysis in Paulucci, " and instead held that "legal prejudice is just that-prejudice to some legal interest, some legal claim, some legal argument." Westlands, 100 F.3d at 96-97. Moreover, the Ninth Circuit has explicitly held that the fact that a defendant has incurred substantial expense and effort in briefing a motion for summary judgment is insufficient to show legal prejudice. See id. at 97 (citing Hamilton, 679 F.3d at 145). Defendant's arguments are insufficient under binding Ninth Circuit authority.
Defendant also points to the "suspect" timing of Plaintiff's motion in light of the simultaneously filed notice of voluntary dismissal of the related case, Tchayelian v. Blue Diamond Growers, No. 14-00091. Defendant characterizes Plaintiff's action as strategic and prejudicial to Defendant, as there are "three other substantially similar cases against Blue Diamond" in the United States District Court of Massachusetts, Arkansas state court, and California state court. Opp. at 2. However, the mere fact that the "defendant will be inconvenienced by having to defend in another forum" or that "plaintiff would gain a tactical advantage by" a dismissal is insufficient to show legal prejudice. Lenches, 263 F.3d at 976 ("While [defendant] will be obliged to defend the state court action, this does not add an extra burden to EFI because it was already engaged in defending the state court case. In any event, the need to defend against state law claims in state court is not plain legal prejudice.'"). It may be the case that this Court's resolution of the pending motion for summary judgment would be helpful in these other actions, but that possibility does not rise to the level of "prejudice" to a legal interest, claim, or argument. A voluntary dismissal with prejudice does not prevent Defendant from raising any specific defenses or otherwise jeopardize Defendant's ability to make the same arguments in these other fora.
In sum, as Defendant is unable to show it will suffer plain legal prejudice as a result of Plaintiff's voluntary dismissal with prejudice, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion.
In addition to its opposition to Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal with prejudice, Defendant also requests that any dismissal be subject to the condition that Blue Diamond may seek any appropriate fees and costs according to proof. See Opp. at 1. The Court does not impose, as a condition of dismissal, any requirement that Plaintiff pay Defendant's attorney's fees or costs in the instant action. Defendant has cited no legal basis for the Court's imposition of fees and costs, and the Court does not understand Defendant's request to be so broad. See Opp. at 3. Instead, Defendant appears to be requesting that any order granting Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal not preclude Defendant from filing a separate motion for attorney's fees and costs, based on some separate statute or federal rule. Id. For example, Defendant may argue that it is entitled to costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d). See, e.g., Zenith Ins. Co. v. Breslaw, 108 F.3d 205, 207 (9th Cir. 1997) (holding that a voluntary dismissal with prejudice conferred prevailing party status on the defendant), abrogated on other grounds by Ass'n of Mexican-Am. Educators v. California, 231 F.3d 572 (9th Cir. 2000).
Moreover, while Plaintiff argues that Defendant is not entitled to attorney's fees and costs as a condition of dismissal, Plaintiff does not otherwise contend that an order by this Court granting Plaintiff's motion would somehow preclude Defendant from filing an independent motion for fees and costs. See Mot. at 6-9. As the parties do not appear to have actually presented a ripe dispute for adjudication, the Court declines to address the merits of a motion for fees or costs that has not yet been filed. Should Defendant choose to do so, Defendant shall file any motion for attorney's fees or costs within the time period set by statute, if applicable, or in Rule 54(d).
For the reasons stated above, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal with prejudice. This dismissal shall not be construed to preclude any timely, independent motion for attorney's fees or costs.
The Court denies as moot Defendant's motion for summary judgment. See ECF No. 166.
The Clerk shall close the case file.

Your weekend: Webster Street Jam
The ninth annual Webster Street Jam is being held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, September 11-12, on Webster Street between Central and Lincoln avenues. This year's version of the street party will include food, wine, music, art and more.
Kathy Moehring of the West Alameda Business Association, which sponsors the fair, promises a host of artisans selling their wares plus an international array of food from local restaurants plus local beer and wine, and local music. And if you're cycling to the event, BikeAlameda will offer free, valet bike parking.
At this year's event, the folks from St. George Spirits will offer an "Alameda Coffee" (St. George's whiskey and Peet's coffee with a dollop of whipped cream), and the Michael Jackson tribute band Foreverland will perform at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
The association is also using the event as an opportunity to showcase new businesses coming to Webster Street. The Frog & Fiddle, a new restaurant that will offer pub food, cocktails and live music, is holding its grand opening at Acquacotta's old address at 1544 Webster Street during the weekend of the Jam, and other businesses, including Café Jolie in the old Tillie's spot on Webster and Santa Clara and Sweetie Café, which will offer desserts, are coming soon. The city is also in the midst of a visioning process intended to further improve Webster.
And businesses on the Street are planning events in conjunction with the celebration: Alameda Sports Cards and Comics, which is at 1515 Webster Street, is welcoming Derek McCulloch, Greg Espinoza and Shepherd Hendrix, who will be signing their book "Pug" from Image Comics from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. They'll also have Nick Dragotta, who will be signing his Howtoons book and demonstrating a special project from the book from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.
"It's a chance for everyone to celebrate the end of summer with friends and neighbors and see what's new in the Webster Street district," Moehring said. It's going to be a blast!"
In honor of the Jam (more info by clicking the link above), we asked Moehring and other West End aficionados for some fun facts about the West End. Here's what we got:
1. Corn Nuts were invented in the West End, and the popsicle was first sold here. Frank Epperson accidentally created the former treat in San Francisco on a chilly night in 1905 at age 11, when he left his drink outside, and he began selling them in 1923 from his lemonade stand in Neptune Beach (his kids called them 'pop's sickle'). Corn Nuts were created by Albert Holloway in 1936. Originally called Brown Jug Toasted Corn, they were first sold to bar owners as a snack to accompany beer.
2. Skippy Peanut Butter, the Jam's original namesake, was produced at the corner of Webster and Atlantic from 1932 to 1974 (and there's a plaque in front of the Walgreens that stands there now to prove it).
3. The New Zealander, which will be serving its famous pub pies at the Jam, is the only restaurant in California that serves the cuisine of chef Clive Hitchens' native country.
4. Opened in 1928, the Posey Tube is the second-oldest underwater auto tunnel in the United States (only New York's Holland Tunnel is older). It was built to replace the Webster Street Bridge, which was sold to Sacramento County for a fraction of what it cost to build after a ship damaged it, rendering it unusable.
5. Alameda was the western terminus for the Transcontinental Railroad, with trains ending up at Alameda Point Pier beginning on September 6, 1869. The pier later became part of the Alameda Naval Air Station (and there's a plaque commemorating the railroad, too).
Feel free to add your own fun facts in the comments section below. (And feel free to stop by and enjoy the Jam this weekend, too.)

Military Pay:
Military Debts Present Significant Hardships to Hundreds of Sick and Injured GWOT Soldiers
GAO-06-657T: Published: Apr 27, 2006. Publicly Released: Apr 27, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In light of GAO's past four reports and testimonies on Army military pay and travel pay for soldiers who have served in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), GAO was asked to determine if weaknesses in Army processes for initiating and terminating active duty pay might result in erroneous payments and debt, including (1) overpayments to soldiers in the Fort Brag Medical Retention Processing Unit (MRPU)--1 of 23 MRPUs--and (2) overpayments and other errors that resulted in debt collection action against battle-injured soldiers who were released from active duty. GAO also was asked to develop case studies to illustrate the effects of these problems on soldiers and their families and to determine ways that Congress could make the debt collection process more soldier friendly.
Continuing pay problems resulted in overpayments and debt for sick and injured Army soldiers serving in GWOT. As with GAO's prior work, these pay problems resulted in significant frustration and financial problems for the soldiers and their families. Our audit of separated Army GWOT soldier debt identified nearly 1,300 separated battle-injured soldiers and soldiers who were killed in combat during the first 4 years of GWOT deployment who had incurred a total of $1.5 million in debt as of September 30, 2005. DOD has authority to write off debts of deceased soldiers and generally does not pursue collection action on the debts of soldiers who were killed in action. However, we found that hundreds of battle-injured soldiers were pursued for repayment of military debts through no fault of their own, including at least 74 soldiers whose debts had been reported to credit bureaus and private collection agencies at the time we initiated our audit in June 2005. Although the Debt Collection Act gives DOD authority to use these debt collection tools, in response to our audit, the Army temporarily suspended collection action on debts of battle-injured soldiers until a determination could be made about whether these soldiers' debts were eligible for relief. In addition our investigation of pay problems related to Army National Guard and Reserve soldiers assigned to the Fort Bragg MRPU identified overpayments of approximately $218,000 related to 232 sick and injured soldiers. Many sick and injured Fort Bragg soldiers faced garnishment of wages and other debt collection action resulting from their pay errors. Congress recently gave the Department of Defense (DOD) authority to cancel some GWOT soldier debts. Because of restrictions in the law, debts of injured soldiers who separated at different times can be treated differently, and soldiers who paid their debts are not eligible for refunds. Also, because this authority expires in December 2007, soldiers and their families could face bad credit reports and visits from collection agencies in the future.

Every time EA shows something new about the game, it looks better and better.
Multiplayer seems cool to play with friends, it's only missing the fight camps thing that UFC brought to play online.
Other than that it looks very promising, especially after the letdown that UFC 2010 was for me(didn't buy it tho)...

As if you needed another reason to get excited about the upcoming season of one of the best shows on television, Michael K. Williams will be joining the cast next semester as a prison-taught Biology professor. From Warming Glow:
Showrunner Dan Harmon described the reasoning at the "Community" Comic-Con panel:
"It is what it seems like," he said. "I want to add a layer of intensity to 'Community.' If the show's ever been too weird to attract new viewers, you can add water to have less flavor and hope it threatens less people, or you can threaten the hell out of everyone with the kind of intensity and flavor that people will get tired of pretending isn't awesome… If we're too cartoonish sometimes, then let's add the opposite of cartoonish. Let's add a little element of 'The Wire' to 'Community.'"
Here's hoping that video clip up top represents next year's Emmy nominations.

Accounting for Patterns of Topic Selection in Statehouse Reporting.
Dunwoody, Sharon; Shields, Steven
A study investigated the possibility that news sources account for the pattern of journalistic topic selection. It was hypothesized that the proportions of content in raw news materials made available to reporters by sources would be similar to the proportion of content found in published stories, and that the proportions of sources for these raw materials would be dissimilar to the proportion of sources found in published stories. The study focused on sources and media coverage for a midwestern statehouse. Press materials from the statehouse were analyzed and coded for a six-week period, as were statehouse stories published in the state's four major newspapers for a four-week period. The analyses indicated that proportions of content were similar across the raw materials and the published stories, supporting the first hypothesis. The results also showed that the proportion of specific sources for raw materials was different from the proportion of sources in the published stories, supporting the second hypothesis. The data suggest that journalists and their sources share notions about what aspects of a state bureaucracy are worth paying attention to. The disproportionate use of sources outside the statehouses cited in the published stories may represent journalistic attempts to achieve balance in reporting. (HTH)

The recent global financial crisis has been characterised as a turning point in the way we respond to financial crime. Focusing on this change and acrime in the commercial spherea, this text considers the legal and economic dimensions of financial crime and its significance in societal consciousness in twenty-first century Britain. Considering how strongly criminal enforcement specifically features in identifying the post-crisis years as a aturning pointa, it argues that nineteenth-century encounters with financial crime were transformative for contemporary British societal perceptions of acrimea and its perpetrators, and have lasting resonance for legal responses and societal reactions today. The analysis in this text focuses primarily on how Victorian society perceived and responded to crime and its perpetrators, with its reactions to financial crime specifically couched within this. It is proposed that examining how financial misconduct became recognised as crime during Victorian times makes this an important contribution to nineteenth-century history. Beyond this, the analysis underlines that a historical perspective is essential for comprehending current issues raised by the afighta against financial crime, represented and analysed in law and criminology as matters of enormous intellectual and practical significance, even helping to illuminate the benefits and potential pitfalls which can be encountered in current moves for extending the reach of criminal liability for financial misconduct. Sarah Wilsonas text on this highly topical issue will be essential reading for criminologists, legal scholars and historians alike. It will also be of great interest to the general reader.... regarded as part of a suite of contemporary developments, including centrally the so-called Great Commercial Codes; including, for example, the Factors Act ... 188, D.O.NO.6(3)/91/2003LC(LS), December 2003, p.27. ... However, a copy of the original transcript has been preserved in the archives of Lincolna#39;s Inn Library.
