We recently returned from a lengthy family road trip. During the course of it we covered 3203 miles through thirteen states with stops in:
Des Moines
Kansas City
St. Louis
New Orleans
We visited museums, parks, caves, battlefields, and breweries. Traveling provides excellent opportunities to find beers otherwise not available in your home market and I made the most of them on this journey.
It started at the Exile Brewing in Des Moines, Iowa. It was located in downtown Des Moines in an old industrial building (the basement had a dungeon like feel to it in a good way). The beer was good and the food was even better.
While in the great Des Moines metro area I also made a point to stop by a store to procure some Toppling Goliath. The Decorah, Iowa brewery has long been on my "must try" wish list and I was excited to get my grubby paws on their Golden Nugget IPA. It was quite tasty, but I'm not sure it really lived up to the hype (no Todd The Axe Man it be) .
Next up was Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City. Boulevard is a well establish craft brewer and their facility was impressive. However, the tap room was small and with only two bar keeps on a sultry Saturday afternoon, there was a bit of a wait to get a beer. The beer itself was decent, but not especially exciting which has been my general impression of Boulevard overall.
During our time in Kansas City I also procured some Ale Mucho Hoppo from Charleville Brewing (Missouri) and Crop Duster Mid-American IPA from Thunderhead Brewing (Nebraska). The Ale Mucho Hoppo is a really nice double IPA. The Crop Duster had a fantastic can design and was pretty tasty as well.
While I have been able to enjoy beer from Schlafly in the past I was looking forward to visiting in person while we were in St. Louis. We ended up hitting the tap room downtown. It was a fairly large place in an older building. The food was great and the beer was fantastic especially the American IPA on cask and unfiltered hefeweizen. Nice to be able to pick up a sampler 12-pack to go too (and walk around downtown St. Louis with it on a steaming afternoon).
We spent three days in New Orleans which provided for ample opportunity to indulge in local favorites. It started at the Crescent City Brewhouse whose beer and food has a definite German influence. I thoroughly enjoyed their fine hefeweizen which went down especially well on a blistering hot afternoon.
While shopping at Target, I picked up a six-pack of Southern Hops'pitality IPA from Lazy Magnolia (Mississippi). It's a decent IPA and I have to admit that it was rather convenient to explore the beer aisle while grabbing some groceries (although we had to have another clerk check out our beer purchase).
NOLA Brewing offered a number of interesting brews at their tap room near the river. The Mecha Double IPA is a delicious hop bomb. They also had a barbecue establishment that shared their property where you could order and pick up 'cue from a window. It's a set up that Minnesota tap rooms would do well to emulate. Unless we still have some sort of silly law against it (likely).
On the way out of the Big Easy, I snagged some Mississippi Fire Ant Imperial Red from Southern Prohibition Brewing (Hattiesburg, MS). The can features an awesome design of a giant version of said fire ant dragging a victim away. The beer itself was big and bold if a bit too boozy.
The most pleasant surprise of the trip was likely the all too short time we spent in Nashville. Our positive views of the city were no doubt influenced by our visits to two tap rooms within easy walking distance of each other. We kicked off at the Yazoo Brewery which was packed on a Saturday afternoon. It has a funky, arty sort of vibe to it and well-crafted beer to go with it. The Jackalope Brewery has an even more funky environment and was a fun place to hang and imbibe their fine beers. The Dire Wolf IPA was especially good and $7 for a 32oz growler of it was a hell of a deal (that was growler & beer for seven bones not just the refill).
Our next stop was in Louisville which include a stop at one of the Bluegrass Brewing locations. They had a cool covered area for outdoor seating and we again enjoyed some high quality beer and grub. The Alt and Atta Boy IPA were both quite tasty offerings.
Kentucky is bourbon country and I made a trip to a local liquor store in Louisville to procure the brown elixir of life. The selection was amazing and even a little intimidating. There were so many options it was hard to decide which one to go with. I finally selected Angels Envy and it turned out to be a heavenly choice. I also picked up an IPA from West Sixth Brewing (Lexington, KY) which was also ended up being a good call.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment of the journey was not being able to make a stop at 3 Floyds Brewing in Munster, Indiana. It was on our original itinerary, but since the entire state of Indiana is currently undergoing road construction of some sort or another, we had to adjust our route to Chicago and Munster was no longer within range. I did quaff an Alpha King in Chicago, but it wasn't the same as being there. Next time…
I did get to try another Indiana brewer when I picked up a four-pack of Fistful of Hops Orange from Sun King Brewing (Indianapolis). As promised it delivered a citrusy hop punch.
The last stop on our trip was in Chicago. There I paired Anti-Hero IPA and Fist City brews from Revolution Brewing with the city's legendary deep dish pizza. A delightful combination.
A lot of miles, a lot of beers, and a lot of fun. As our six-year-old son asked moments after arriving home from the adventure, "Now what?" Good question son, good question.

Here you can see what it looks like from the outside with one button undone. They all can be undone but not easily and only for outside appearance.
Here you can see that they left the internal lining untouched and opened the sleeve outside of the lining. It is not pretty but it allows for all buttons to be functional.
This is a bespoke piece that shows what I think it should look like if it is made with functional buttons.
Left the good one outside of the spoiler. Nice buttonholes.
Thank you all for the input! Itsou, thanks for taking the time to send pictures, it looks quite good, however i agree with you about the lining. Thanks again!

My Siberian Husky Mia and I benefitted greatly from several sessions of private training from Marilyn and Pure Spirit. She came to our home and showed me several ways that I was contributing to Mia's misbehavior. It was helpful to have Marilyn working with Mia in her own environment. Mia has a mischievous personality and likes to play which Marilyn was able to develop some ways to turn her natural behavior into more positive interaction. Mia liked to listen only when she wants but with Marilyn's patience and kind manner now listens and follows directions when I want her to. I highly recommend Marilyn in all aspects of dog training. Mia gets so excited when Marilyn comes that I know she would recommend her too!!

Prior to 2005, I was not aware of animal communicators and with reservation (but an open mind) I made my first appointment with Marilyn. It didn't take long into that conversation to realize that I was talking to a special person with a gift to communicate with animals. Since 2005, I have had many animal communication sessions with her and she was a comfort as I said goodbye to five of my German Shepherds since 2009. Over the years I have recommended Marilyn to many of my friends and coordinated with workshops for her when she visited Wisconsin. If you are considering speaking with an animal communicator, by all means give Marilyn a call.

Marilyn has been an important part of our Cavalier Family for 7 years and will continue to be an extended family member forever! Marilyn's experience and insight is amazing and we have happily referred her to many of our friends when they have training needs or questions about any of their animal family members. I have met several animal trainers over the years and none compare to Marilyn. Do yourself and your pets a favor and use only the best.....Pure Spirit!

We LOVE Marilyn! Her training helped us get through the first year of our lives with our crazy Rescue dog. He was unlike any other dog I had ever owned, so I knew I had to try a different technique than my usual Traditional Training style. We contacted Marilyn, and even though we were skeptical at first of the clicker/treating style she incorporates, but the end of our first hour with her, we were sold! We now use everything she taught us for all 4 of our dogs, and my dogs love us for it! Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Although we have been dog owners our entire lives, this was our first experience with a professional dog trainer. We decided to try Pure Spirit for the Foundation class and were delighted to find the structure was relaxed and informative. The in-home training is absolutely the best thing we ever did. Marilyn was able to accomplish things with our extremely friendly furry friend that we haven't been able to do with any of our prior dogs: I can sign for a pkg with FedEx while my puppy waits calmly at a distance, closes cabinet doors that the humans have left open, picks up things I have dropped...need I go on? I think the proof of Marilyn's success is in the upper Level dogs and owners. It is truly inspiring to see such well behaved dogs and owners that know how to handle them. Marilyn offers a unique blend of kindness, firmness & humor that makes training fun for the dog & the owner. 5+ Stars for Marilyn & her team!

Marilyn has been helping me communicate with my animals by phone for over 6 years. When my German Shepherd was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Marilyn's communication skill was a great help to me and our vet - letting us know how the dog was feeling and therefore what treatment was appropriate. We were also able to discover his wishes. I'm so grateful for all Marilyn does.
February 27, 2012
Marilyn is a wonderful trainer she is good with both pets and people. I am a nanny for 3 children and she worked with all 4 of us training their dog Duke. The kids loved working with her and we always had fun... Duke would always pull on walks and it became an awful chore, but now he walks great on leash and we enjoy our walks. Marilyn also takes Duke while the family goes on vacation he gets so excited when he sees her... It's nice to know he has a fun, caring place to be when we are out of town. My dog Eddie was trained by Marilyn, too... You can tell she has such a love for animals.
February 26, 2012
Marilyn is helping my 12-year-old dog to learn new tricks... Primarily, he is learning NOT to run out the door when it opens and NOT to jump on visitors. Her patience and ability to "teach an old dog new tricks" is extraordinary!

Love Marilyn! We have used her for 4 cats over the years, and the results have always been helpful. She is fun to work with and communicates to both pet and owner in a positive, affirming manner while getting the messages across to both sides! Highly recommend her!
February 4, 2012
We have had our dog in several of Marilyn's classes. She is the best!. Our dog has become a great member of our family that we can feel at ease taking anywhere. We now have a puppy that is going to start training with her this week. Marilyn's classes are very informative yet always stress-free. The dogs and owners are all made to feel at ease. I would highly recommend her classes.
February 3, 2012
Absolutely love Marilyn and her teaching ways...teaching the dog AND the human how to work as one.After going through all of her classes, my dog has become a great member of my family. I truly believe that is from what Marilyn has taught us.I can better understand what is going through my dog's mind, and by knowing this I am able to find ways to better train him or help him. He is wonderful to bring into public as well as bringing to my family functions.Commands/tricks Marilyn has taught us: Leave it, Take it, break, touch, wait, stay, sit, lay down, relax, heal, come, to sit when coming to a stop when walking, stand, go kennel, command to go from a down to a sit, walking in a crowd, as well as getting us ready for the Canine Good Citizen Test.I very much recommend her for any dog training needs, whether it is one-on-one or in a class setting.She is very good about answering specific problems that your dog is having, whether it be during the class or during the week, she always has an answer!

A Milestone Hit!
When I hit the 300's, I said when I hit the 200's I wanted to hike this hill that is in a town that was a fun part of my childhood. It's about 250 feet with a 45 degree slope in many spots and for about a decade there was just no way I could fathom doing it. I could barely do the stairs or inclines at our local park. But I longed to lookout over the town and declare my victory over this seemingly impossible hike. As if by fate, I had booked an out of town trip to this area for this past weekend.
Friday before we left...I hit the 2's.
Saturday, I hit the top...
It was an amazing feeling! Not only did I make it without really stopping (except to take a pic of a deer) but I felt like a normal person, a fit person. There was a bit of a lung burn toward the end but I think it was because we actually did a WAY worse hike by accident earlier in the day that made this look like chump change. I wore my heart rate monitor and over the course of those hikes, I burned 2200 calories that day. There is just no way I could've done that even a year ago. I think about when we went to Memphis last April and my feet had really bad blisters all over them and I could barely walk without a hobble because of them the next day. We walked a similar amount Saturday (though much more strenuous due to the amount of inclines and stairs) and I just had a small amount of soreness and no huge blisters on the bottom of my feet. That's a 70 lb. difference between now and then and I'm so thankful for it. I remember how frustrating it was then to feel like I'd lost so much but my weight was still holding me back. This time, I felt like I wasn't held back at all. There were quite a few groups of people with overweight and obese people that had to stop for a bit to catch their breath but I was glad to see they were still out there living despite it. So many of us don't. I so remember that feeling but was glad that we could go at a pace we were now comfortable with and that pace was comparable to what most consider a "fit"pace. I told myself I would stop if I needed to but I could count maybe two full minutes added up even after going up flights and flights of stairs in a row. Heck, even young boy scouts were sucking more wind than we were. There's something to be said about awesome cardio! So it was a great weekend of celebrating this new chapter on my path.
I need to think of how I want to celebrate getting into the 1's. (I will NOT call it "one-derland" because I don't enjoy barfing from cheesy sayings) I hope it doesn't take as long as that 100 lbs. did but I'm going to do it up right y'all!
Do you celebrate milestones? Any suggestions for the next 100 lb. milestone?

Woo! What an accomplishment. Congrats!
Note: you have mentioned your heart rate monitor a few times in past blogs and was wondering if u had a recommendation for one? I could like to get one that does not require a chest strap, not too bulky (to pass as a regular watch) and budget freely.Oh this is WONDERFUL news! Congratulations!
Not to be selfish or anything, but I think a wonderful next milestone celebration would be returning to Memphis, where you might meet up with a local blogger (one guess who that would be) for a long walk along the river, the Greenline, the zoo, or all three. Even better would be celebrating this milestone that way. :)
Again, heartfelt congratulations on your awesome efforts and results!Hurray for you!!! (And hurray for me, I have reached the 1s- does that make me featherlike?? :)Woohoo!) I love your reward for hitting the 200s. A fitness goal. That just goes to show that you will succeed and that you completely have the right mindset. I still fight myself all the time with rewards. My idea of a reward is food. Such a no-no. If I hit my goal, I am buyinmg myself a new outfit- from head to toe. I have not done that in about 15 years. :) Best of everything to you! From that picture at the top I would not guess you hit 200s, but 100s :)
ReplyDeleteI have a huge smile on my face as I read this! Congratulations on such a phenomenal victory!!! You're in such a better place with this journey than at any other time in the past, and there is no doubting that this is a permanent way of living now. You learned from the past and used all those rough and tumble times to treat yourself differently and to require more of yourself, including not emotionally abusing yourself. You are the living embodiment of what it means when they talk about lifestyle. It may be an overused term, but for me the key part of that is "life". You are living fiercely every day. Wahoo!! I couldn't be more happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almsivi Intervention
Transports you instantly to the nearest Tribunal temple. Good for escaping from a sticky situation, or just as a means of fast transportation. The temples to which you can be transported are in the following places:
- Any followers you may have will not accompany you when you teleport. Thus, this cannot be used to facilitate escort missions.
- Almsivi Intervention (and the other teleportation spells) are disabled in a few locations. In Morrowind, the only locations are Magas Volar (where you get the Daedric Crescent), and the Akulakhan chamber at the bottom of Dagoth Ur's facility (until you destroy the heart). The expansions add a few more such locations. The Clockwork City in Tribunal has disabled teleporting, and the inside of the Mortrag Glacier area in Bloodmoon does as well. Scripted teleports, such as from items, will still work in these locations, however.
- The logic of what is and isn't a Temple for the purposes of Almsivi Intervention may be a bit confusing since there are Temple facilities in several locations that you can't teleport to this way. Probably the most frustrating one is the Ghostgate temple, which is a Temple for purposes for receiving Temple quests, but not for Intervention. In some other locations, such as Balmora, the reverse is true.
- Almsivi intervention will take you to the Tribunal Temple nearest your last exterior location only. This means that if you are closer to another location, for example by entering the Aldruhn Mage Guild, using the teleporter to get to Balmora Mage Guild, and you use Almsivi Intervention, you will arrive at the Ald'ruhn Temple, not the Balmora Temple, .
- Certain locations seem to go to the "wrong" location. For instance, casting a Almsivi Intervention spell at Gnaar Mok causes you to appear at Balmora, even though Ald'ruhn is closer. This is due to the way distances are calculated for these spells. The map on this page shows the correct destinations.

Okay, the focus group results have come back and we've been crunching this data for the last month, but we've got it. Before I begin, anybody care to venture a guess as to why people aren't eating as much beef?
"We hired you to find out for us, Gordon."
I know, I know. And I've done just that! So humor me, a little. It helps make the reveal more exciting. Come on, guess.
"Because industrial farming has led to grain-fed beef that's higher in saturated fat and more frequently-contaminated with E. coli bacteria?"
No. I mean, that's true, but no. That's not why. Most people care just enough to not like it, but not enough to do anything about it.
"Because we have to actually put ammonia into burger meat to keep the bacterial contamination to a minimum, so any time you buy a burger from a fast food joint or even most supermarkets you're actually eating ammonia?"
Again: true, but not what the polls show. Anyone else?
"Because people are starting to realize that a diet rich in red meat leads to a higher incidence of heart disease and colon cancer? And that you should really only be eating about six ounces of red meat a month?"
Ha! This is America! That's DEFINITELY not what people said! No, the answer is this, ladies and gentlemen: brand confusion.
"Brand confusion?"
Yes! People want meat, but they're not sure what to get! It's all too confusing! Burgers, strip steaks, T-bones, sausage, pot roast, flank steak, it's all too much! That's why we've simplified the old butchers' guide!
"That…that's just a picture of a cow."
"With the word 'MEAT' stamped over it in huge, bloody letters."
That's right! Forget the subsets, the minutiae, the different cuts of meat. That's so 1950s! From now on forget "It's what's for dinner," forget "Where's the beef," HERE'S your new slogan: "MEAT. I'd eat that."
Wear this shirt: On your way to the Goodhue County Fairgrounds in Zumbrota, MN!
Don't wear this shirt: To that PETA protest. They don't usually go for jokes like that.
This shirt tells the world: "Rooter, tooter, whatever."
We call this color: beef bourguibrown

On June 25, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Halliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund, No. 13-317, __ U.S. __ (2014), slip op. (U.S. June 23, 2014) (Halliburton II), holding that defendants in a class action securities lawsuit must be allowed to defeat the fraud-on-the-market presumption of reliance at the class certification stage through evidence that the alleged misrepresentation did not have an impact on the defendant company's stock price. While the decision may not prevent investors from filing class action securities lawsuits, as some had hoped, Halliburton II does provide companies with a meaningful opportunity to defeat class certification.
Background To bring a securities fraud lawsuit under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 10b-5, an investor plaintiff must prove, among other things, that he or she individually relied on the alleged misrepresentation. If courts strictly applied this requirement in the class action context, then common questions would not "predominate" for purposes of satisfying Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 23(b)(3). Instead, each investor would have to testify that he or she was aware of the alleged misrepresentation and made an investment decision based on that representation.
In Basic Inc. v. Levinson, 485 U.S. 224 (1988), the Supreme Court resolved this problem by holding that prospective investor classes could use a proxy for individual reliance by establishing a rebuttable presumption of class-wide reliance via the fraud-on-the-market theory. Under this theory, as long as a company's stock trades in an efficient market, all public information about that stock is viewed as being incorporated in the stock's price – including the alleged misrepresentation. Thus, a court may presume that all members of the putative class indirectly relied on the alleged misrepresentation through reliance on the stock's market price, so long as plaintiffs can prove an efficient market.
Over the years, federal district courts have applied the presumption to certify classes of investor plaintiffs. Proof of efficient markets has been based on such factors as whether the average weekly trading volume of the defendant company's stock was robust, whether there was a high number of analysts and professional investors following and trading in the stock, whether the company had a history of making available detailed SEC filings, and whether a so-called "event study" demonstrated that the stock had previously reacted to material news and other information about the company.
However, last year, in Amgen v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, 133 S. Ct. 1184 (2013), three dissenting justices – Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy – expressly criticized the Court's decision in Basic. In his concurring opinion in Amgen, Justice Samuel Alito cited academic research questioning whether the Basic presumption "rest[s] on a faulty economic premise" and suggested that "reconsideration" of the Basic presumption "may be appropriate."
The Opinion Creating an opportunity for the Court to reconsider the fraud-on-the-market presumption, the Halliburton defendants asked the Court in this appeal to consider whether to "overturn or significantly modify" the Basic presumption. Halliburton also requested, in the alternative, that the Court adopt a "middle-ground" approach that would allow defendant companies to "rebut the presumption and prevent class certification by introducing evidence that the alleged misrepresentations did not distort the market price of its stock."
In an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court declined the broader challenge to Basic. The Court explained that, before overturning long-settled precedent, it must be convinced of a "special justification," not simply that a "precedent was wrongly decided." Thus, the Court rejected Halliburton's first argument that Basic is inconsistent with a strict reading of the federal securities laws requiring that each plaintiff demonstrate individual reliance. According to the Court's opinion, if Congress is dissatisfied with its interpretation of the law, it can address the matter with new legislation.
The Court also rejected Halliburton's argument that Basic should be overturned in light of economic research over the past decades that has undermined the presumption. As the Court explained, the "foremost critics of the efficient-capital-markets hypothesis" acknowledge that "public information generally affects stock prices." As an example, the Court noted that even so-called "value investors" – or those who look to only buy stocks in undervalued companies – "implicitly" rely on all public information when they purchase stock. Specifically, while such investors may disagree with conventional thinking about public information, they are nevertheless betting on assumptions about that information.
When addressing Halliburton's alternative request that it consider a middle-ground approach, the Court acknowledged the real concerns driving Halliburton's appeal – that companies caught in the crosshairs of a securities class action lawsuit prefer to address as many issues as they can before the lower court decides whether to certify a class. The Court also recognized that, once a class is certified, the damages sought are often so enormous that the defendants' only rational option is to settle even if the chances of losing at trial are small. As the Court pointed out, class actions "allow plaintiffs to extort large settlements from defendants for meritless claims; punish innocent shareholders, who end up having to pay settlements and judgments; impose excessive costs on businesses; and consume a disproportionately large share of judicial resources."
Thus, the Court agreed with Halliburton that, if the Basic presumption is established, defendants "should at least be allowed to defeat the presumption at the class certification stage through evidence that the misrepresentation did not in fact affect the stock price." In many cases, the Court explained, plaintiffs' counsel themselves introduce event studies at the class certification stage to show that the market price of a company's stock responds to information about the company, as part of plaintiffs' efforts to establish that the market for the company's shares is efficient. The Court reasoned that if plaintiffs are allowed to present price impact evidence to satisfy the efficient market requirement, then it made no sense to preclude defense counsel from introducing evidence to demonstrate that the alleged misrepresentation did not impact the price.
Concurring Opinions Although all nine justices unanimously supported the result in this case – which was to vacate the trial court's class certification decision – three justices did not join the chief justice's opinion. A concurrence by Justice Thomas, joined by Justices Scalia and Alito, opined that the Court should overturn the fraud-on-the-market presumption, stating that "[l]ogic, economic realities, and our subsequent jurisprudence have undermined the foundations of the Basic presumption, and stare decisis cannot prop up the façade that remains."
In a separate, brief concurrence, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan, explained that she decided to join the chief justice's opinion because it is still "incumbent upon the defendant to show the absence of price impact" and that permitting defendants to do so "should impose no heavy toll on securities-fraud plaintiffs with tenable claims."
The Supreme Court's decision in Halliburton II requires that companies be given a chance to end a securities fraud lawsuit at the class-certification stage by showing that that the alleged misrepresentation or its correction did not actually result in a decline or rise in the company's stock price. Consequently, Halliburton II allows trial courts to deny certain class certification motions that they would have granted in the past. For example, in a Third Circuit case, In re Merck & Co. Securities Litigation, 432 F.3d 261 (3d Cir. 2005), Merck allegedly misstated revenues associated with a subsidiary, but eventually corrected those miscalculations in a later SEC filing. Because there was no demonstrable market impact around the time of that filing, the Third Circuit ruled on summary judgment that the market's lack of reaction established that there was no securities fraud as a matter of law. Cases like Merck may now be resolved at the class certification stage.
Halliburton II leaves a number of issues for the lower courts to determine at the class certification stage. Lower courts will undoubtedly confront mini-expert discovery battles about how to interpret event studies and what types of economic opinions the parties may use. The Court's Halliburton II opinion, however, provides no guidance regarding the sufficiency of evidence defendants must provide in order to rebut the Basic presumption. Such logistical issues will likely vary depending on the lower courts' local rules and the standard practices of the judges hearing these cases, which, of course, will be subject to interpretation by the courts of appeals.
Another consequence of the Court's Halliburton II decision is that it may affect the way these cases are pleaded. Securities fraud cases brought under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5(b) are based on affirmative misrepresentations, omissions, or some combination of the two. Whether the Basic presumption applies to a fraud theory based on omissions is an unsettled question, since a plaintiff arguably cannot be aware of information that he alleges the defendant company unlawfully withheld. To avoid the procedural hurdles presented by Halliburton II, plaintiff attorneys may try to disguise affirmative misrepresentation cases as omissions cases. Such pleading tactics likely will be hotly contested at both the motion-to-dismiss and class-certification stages.
It remains to be seen whether these new pre-merits battles will outweigh their costs, result in victories for defendant companies, impact settlement amounts, or provide a disincentive to securities plaintiffs and their attorneys in bringing these suits. In the meantime, Halliburton II should be viewed as a compromise: It preserves the ability of investors to bring these cases, but it also provides defendants with a new, meaningful opportunity to defeat them before incurring the significant costs of summary judgment briefing and trial.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Your days are packed with meetings, phone calls, analysis of reports, financial models and a whole lot more. I hope you are getting your exercise and yoga in as well and in the most efficient way possible. This also means that I hope you know how many calories you are burning during your workouts.
The number of calories we burn during any cardio or yoga workout, depends on many different factors such as gender, body weight, heart rate, intensity of the workout, and the ratio of lean muscle to body fat for any given individual. In the case of yoga, we must also consider what kind of yoga we are doing—Vinyasa? Slow Flow? Power? Ashtanga? Bikram? Restorative? Yin?
Most of us exercise for one of several reasons:
- We want to build muscle mass and/or tone.
- We want to become more flexible.
- We enjoy the activities we choose.
- We love the high that ensues from the release of endorphins, adrenaline, cortisol, and the other feel-good chemicals that working out causes the brain and endocrine system to release.
- Exercise and yoga elevates our mood and productivity.
- We want to have a healthy and strong heart.
- We want to look good (even disregarding weight loss, working out and yoga give us a healthy glow and puts smiles on our faces).
- We hope to feel vital and positive inside and to emanate our positive energy to others and the world at large.
- We hope to prevent and/or heal injuries.
- We want to feel a sense of freedom from our thoughts and routines, or as the yogis say, clarity of mind. Often it is at these times that our best professional Eureka moments occur.
Below are some charts and articles I found that helped answer my questions about how many calories on average we can burn during different cardio and yoga workouts and what some guidelines are for losing weight. I hope they answer some of your questions as well.
Exercise For Weight Loss: Calories burned in 1 hour
By Mayo Clinic Staff
If you click on the link below, you can see that for the average person at an average weight of 160 pounds, jumping rope, Tae kwon do, running, and stair treadmill top the charts as the highest calorie burning workouts listed. Rollerblading, football, singles tennis, basketball, and high-impact aerobics come in next on the chart and then swimming and so on and so forth. Interestingly yoga is not included in this chart. Though very informative, in my opinion, the chart falls short of illustrating how the intensity for each activity changes the statistics. For instance, it only looks at leisure cycling rather than bicycle racing. The chart is nonetheless very helpful and you can refer to it as one resource to learn more about the effectiveness of the workout/exercise choices you make.
Below is information from another source I found that analyzes things more specifically than the above chart and takes into account different intensities of workouts as well as in the case of swimming, even strokes:

Earth Aid was a release in The Lost Stories range, featuring the Seventh Doctor.
Publisher's summary Edit
Welcome aboard the Space Vessel Vancouver. Its mission: to guard a vast shipment of grain from Earth to the planet Safenesthome.
Its Captain is called Ace. She seems a little unsure of herself. In fact, some might almost think she was new to the job...
Its medical officer is called simply "the Doctor", and he's perhaps not all he seems.
When mysterious ships target the Vancouver, Ace and the Doctor are pushed to the limit. Meanwhile, there's something nasty in the grain containers. And it's not very happy....

Notes Edit
- Raine Creevy is based on Raine Cunningham, the companion who was intended to come after Ace in the unproduced season 27. A feature in DWM 255 gave the character the name Kate Tollinger, but according to an interview with script editor Andrew Cartmel in DWM 433, the character was always intended to be named Raine. Cartmel had since discovered someone of the name Raine Cunningham existed in real life and changed the character's family name.
- This audio drama was recorded on 4 and 5 October 2010.
Continuity Edit
- The Doctor, Ace and Raine previously encountered the Metatraxi in the Kafiristan in the Middle East in October 1989. (AUDIO: Crime of the Century)
- Ace mentions that she almost became a cheetah on one occasion. (TV: Survival)
- The Doctor mentions that he has previously encountered another sentient planet, namely Symbios during his sixth incarnation in 2010. (AUDIO: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
- Ace is once again angered at being called small. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
- Raine mentions that it's usually her that rescues the Doctor from a safe. (AUDIO: Crime of the Century)

On the radio.
America Right was, understandably, fixated on the Newsweek story, but there was very little about it on Air America. Disturbingly, the only attempt at humor I heard from Al Franken in the hour or so I spent with him today was a joke that Donald Rumsfeld had ordered that a Bible and a Talmud be flushed down the toilet, along with an Encyclopedia Britannica "for the reality-based" people.
Franken's show was nearly humor free -- entirely humor free if you don't count bad jokes. It was grim indeed. Some of the things he said were truly awful. Within the space of perhaps half an hour, he said that George Bush could have prevented the 9/11 attacks if he had "paid attention" -- it's in the 9/11 report! -- and that Iraq would be better off if Saddam were still in power -- not merely that on balance, the improvement of having him out is not worth the cost, but that the Iraqis were better off with Saddam.
Painful. Just painful.

Franken is such a putz. And the left just can't understand why Err America isn't growing.
- TWM said...
Calling Franken a putz is too kind. The worse thing you can call a comedian is not funny. And Franken hasn't been funny since SNL.
Like most of the liberal elite, Franken is just angry and small and feeling so much the loser right now.
Which, of course, is what he is. - 5/16/05, 7:36 PM

Franken looms large...as losers go.

Franken wasn't all that funny when he was on SNL. - 5/16/05, 9:55 PM

Al Franken obviously didn't read the same 9/11 Commission report that I read.
While the commission found many breakdowns in US intelligence gathering and sharing in the agencies of government, it doesn't lay blame for any negligence on the Bush Administration. The commission was so forthright in what it wrote that I feel certain that had it intended to accuse the Bush Administration of willfully ignoring the threat of what unfolded on 9/11, it would have done just that.
Of course, Franken's apparent loss of humor is a tragedy for him and for everyone. - 5/16/05, 10:39 PM

To that Liberal Elite above, name calling in order to prove a superior intellect is merely proof of the opposite. Futhermore, it is such a common tactic among you friends that the most common reaction to reading such innane statements is a quiet chuckle.
- Ann Althouse said...
Jim C.: I thought he was funny as Stuart Smalley. I even liked the movie with that character. But he was making fun of liberals! I think he knows how to do that and has plenty of material, but he can't use it anymore.
Pancho, Bob: Don't forget about "South Park." - 5/17/05, 7:01 AM

See here. If the "reality-based community" thinks they can dismiss Christians and Jews (!) this way, they're going to lose a lot of elections... oh wait...
- Captain Wrath said...
I recently had a chance to listen to Air America while driving a friend's car.
I gotta say, my intense dislike of Franken aside, I found the same lack of humor.
In the few hours I listened to him, there was one attempt at a comedy bit called, "Oy, Oy." The premise is that Franken's partner reads news regarding Bush, the administration or the war, and he says "Oy, Oy" in a jewish(?) accent.
That..was the whole bit. And both Franken and his partner (cannot remember her name) have this monotone quality to their voices.
The show is dreary and lifeless, politics aside. - 5/17/05, 2:44 PM

Move over, late fathers: this is the age of the late cyclist. Once upon a time I had a symbiotic relationship with my bike: it being the only affordable means of travel, I went everywhere on it. Then came the motorbike, then the car, and for 30 years that was that. But three months ago, in a fit of nostalgic curiosity, I found myself walking into a bike shop and asking the price of a basic machine.
Move over, late fathers: this is the age of the late cyclist. Once upon a time I had a symbiotic relationship with my bike: it being the only affordable means of travel, I went everywhere on it. Then came the motorbike, then the car, and for 30 years that was that. But three months ago, in a fit of nostalgic curiosity, I found myself walking into a bike shop and asking the price of a basic machine.
What I walked out with was perfectly tailored to my requirements, and looked beautiful. But I looked a fool on it: that old adage – about never forgetting how to ride a bicycle – is a lie, and I wobbled so dangerously that drivers took evasive action. The half-mile home was a bad dream.
Since then I've recovered the old symbiosis – cyclists are modern-day centaurs – and I'm obsessed with a whole new set of practicalities. I study other people's machines for clever wheezes. It didn't take me long to acquire the three-mode rear-light, or the fluorescent Sam Browne; I'm not sure I want fairy-lights on the back of my helmet, though they may come too.
The crick in my neck – from looking over my shoulder – has impelled me to buy a rear-view mirror, but I can't shake off that feeling of vulnerability each time I set off, as my body issues its subliminal warning: You haven't fastened your seat belt!
I have not yet worked out how fanatical to be about theft: will one U-lock do, or should there be two? How much of the bike should I dismantle and take into whatever smart function I'm attending? The lights? The saddle? A wheel? Two wheels? When I get my first puncture, I just know what'll happen – I'll call the AA.
These may be weighty matters, but they're not what it's all about: what we're dealing with is two diametrically opposed worlds. If I've changed, during my 30-year absence from the saddle, so has life on the road.
As a driver, I've often resented the archetypal angry cyclist, whistle clamped between his teeth, right hand ready to bang on the roof of anyone whose driving he deems offensive. I now know the fear which underlies that anger, for when push comes to shove, the cyclist is always the underdog. I too am now part of that obscure freemasonry which arises among every clutch of cyclists held up at the lights.
I'm learning the cyclist's view of the world, which is the reverse-image of the one I'm used to as a driver. But that doesn't mean I agree with two letters published in this newspaper last Friday. Bill and Heulwen Evans cycle on pavements, and are happy to admit it.
"Who ever heard of a pedestrian being killed by a cyclist?" they ask. Meanwhile another pavement-cyclist would rather risk "upsetting a few pedestrians" than lose her life. Well, so would most of us, but nothing is solved by partisan pleading of this sort, which demonises yet another alternative world. Two wheels good, four wheels bad; two legs can go take a running jump.
Cyclists hate drivers because they fear them; drivers hate cyclists because they envy them their freedom to manoeuvre, and to flout traffic laws unpunished: the hate comes with the territory, as it does in politics. And as in politics, so on wheels: when you move from one camp to another, you adopt the appropriate mindset.
Behind the wheel of my car I still feel a surge of partisan rage when some Lycra-clad lunatic shoots the lights across me. On the other hand, when I find a parked van blocking my path in a bike lane – forcing me out into the maelstrom – I reach for my metaphorical gun.
I have no desire to star in the high-speed free-for-all on the six-lane race-track at London's Hyde Park Corner, but I'm going to stick with this two-wheel lark. On side-streets where possible, and particularly in fine weather, we late cyclists may seem a sedate bunch; but we're multiplying fast.
