Important Form Factors for micro and sub compact concealed carry handguns
For those in the concealed carry community, the question gun developers are always asking is what form factor makes the most sense for concealed carry. The problem? One size never fits all. It's a question of a person's own style of movement, their shape, and the clothing they prefer to wear that dictates which handgun form factor is going to make it.
However, there are important questions related to functionality. Just because a weapon fits comfortably on the person doesn't make it particularly effective. And conversely, just because a handgun functions great doesn't mean it's going to fit well concealed on a person.
Let's go over some form factors for the micro and sub-compact class of concealed carry weapons.
From Factors for concealed carry handgun consideration include:
Concealed carry means exactly that. For a weapon to be concealed, it has to blend seamlessly with either the waistline or along the ankle. Putting on a full size pistol into a holster can make conceal-ability a bit more difficult – unless the person is wearing a thick jacket.
For a form factor to really count for CCW, it has to have a decent history of performance. Guns that jam often, have "unique" loading and unloading options, or are prone to misfires are all weapons to avoid for CCW. CCW pistols and revolvers need to be safe and reliable.
If a CCW holder feels confident that four or fewer rounds is perfectly sufficient to take down an opponent – great. For most, capacity both means the ability to sustain conflict for a short period of time and reducing the number of reloads necessary. For a concealed carry form factor to be successful, it needs to hold five or more rounds.
Micro-compact CCW revolvers
The Chiappa Rhino revolver has a 2" barrel designed specifically for micro-compact concealability. Very user friendly, it can fit nearly anywhere and is easy to learn. For this form factor, it can be placed in the traditional inside the waistband concealed carry holster or stored as a backup in either a cargo pocket or ankle holster. Its unique hexagonally shaped cylinder allows for quick reloading and a flatter form factor unlike traditional revolvers.
For the more traditional, the Ruger LCR 357 Mag Revolver still meets the criteria of heavy caliber .357 ammunition delivered in a micro-compact form factor. It's perfect for concealing in an inside the waistband concealed carry holster and can even come with a custom laser sight to put rounds on target faster. With a five round capacity, it puts more pressure on the shooter to make sure rounds go on target versus putting down suppressive fire (never recommended).
Micro and sub-compact CCW pistols
Kimber makes a fantastic sub-compact (arguably on the verge of micro) version of the 1911 for .45 ACP. That's quite a feat considering most sub-compacts chambered in .45 ACP suffer a lot on magazine capacity making a double magazine carrier a good idea to keep on hand. For the Kimber Ultra CDP II, it manages to fit "8+1" rounds into 4.25 inches of height. For those that love that 1911 form factor, Kimber has their number.
For those looking for a more affordable solution in the sub-compact range, Taurus makes an excellent taurus slim line 709. Chambered in 9mm, it was made specifically with concealed carriers in mind. With a barrel length of 3" and a capacity of "7+1", it meets all the specs and performance requirements to be one of the most affordable sub-compacts on the market.

Thanks for helping!
This location of DD is disappointing. So many times, they have given me the wrong order when I've gone through the drive-thru. No attention or care to detail. Staffed by too many teens that don't care.
This has to be the busiest Dunkin' Donuts I have seen. Even with the long line the service was quick and pleasant. Donuts were fresh.
This is a typical DD, fast coffee and donuts. They get the order wrong about 3% of the time, but like most regulars, DD is part of my day. Nice staff- very friendly.
I often visit the Kennebunk Dunkin' Donuts, usually for coffee and a bagel in the morning and I am always amazed at how quickly they turn their orders around. The coffee is really good - not too strong and with low acidity. The people at the Kennebunk franchise do a really brisk business and service is great here.
don't be discouraged if you see a line of cars at Kennebunk Dunkin. I don't know how they do it, but it seems to be very well run and organized no matter what time of day you visit. I've always been impressed. They do a great job at this franchise.
If you have an AARP card anytime you buy a drink you get a free donut!, I had more than my share on this trip
I am VERY IMPRESSED with their drive-thru service and the speed of it...AMAZING.
They can move 20 cars through there in no time! Don't let a line of cars discourage you! You'll be out and on your way in no time!
Service is fast, friendly and the food is great.
I also appreciate their coupons we get in the mail....
Best coffee anywhere. I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts now there are two near me in Maine. Can't get enough.
a place for good coffee and a quick donut time saver .convient location.friendly service so if time is of the essence go to dunkins.
This DD is in a building that you don't normally see one in. Very quaint and beautiful. The coffee and lattes were great as usual. On a busy Sunday morning they needed more than one order station open though.

Believe the fashion ads and you'd replace your wardrobe every three months. But your bank balance – and the planet – won't thank you. Yet read between fashion's lines and you'll find that last season's things reappear, in the new season's guise.
You could spend your hard-earned on brand new jeans that look five years old. Or you could 'new season' them yourself.
Turn Unworn Trousers Into Shorts
Sometimes, the best way to cut back on your wardrobe is literally. Strides that the years have been unkind to – victims of either wear or of-the-moment patterns – can have a second life as shorts.
Their width should dictate their new length: straight- or relaxed-leg trousers can become just-above-the-knee Bermuda shorts, while tailored fits can be snipped anywhere from a couple of inches above the knee to mid-thigh. (If you've braved the squat rack, think of it as a free way to test the short-shorts trend).
Slip in, then ink on a guideline just below where you want them to sit. "Leave enough length so you can turn the fabric under about an inch," says Sarah Gilfillan, personal stylist at Sartoria Lab. "Then fold to make a small turn-up – around a quarter of an inch."
Secure with stitches at either side and front and back, or Wonderweb if you're not handy with a needle.
Hemming Web, available at Tesco, priced £2.
Roll Your Sleeves
If you've been dodging the dumbbells, take Tom Ford's advice and cuff your sleeves to give your arms a visual workout. "Roll until it hits the widest point of your arm," says Gilfillan. Mid-tricep is the sweet spot, then fasten with a couple of stitches so it doesn't slip down.
On which note, having to constantly fiddle with your shirt cuffs throughout the day kills a rolled sleeve's nonchalant air. So borrow the marines' trick to ensure they stay at attention. Unbutton then roll the cuff back. "About the width of four fingers," says Gilfillan. Straighten up the edges, then repeat four-to-five times, until the roll hits mid-bicep. It looks even better if you have a marine's physique.
Add Black Polish To Brown Shoes
As Italian as adding some cooking water to your pasta sauce, this tip can give old brogues a Berluti-esque, burnished appearance. "The trick is to add several thin layers of polish and buff between each," says Tom Beecroft, of shoe care experts The Jaunty Flaneur.
Once you've locked the technique, embrace the rainbow – try dark brown polish on tan brogues, or even a deep red wax. "It can 'antique' brown shoes and add depth to the shine of black shoes," says Beecroft.
But remember – you're adding detail, not a new paint job. "Focus on the heel and toe cap – you'll achieve a stronger patina here," says Laura Haynes, from men's personal styling service The Chapar. "Let the polish dry for around 10 minutes then buff with a cloth to remove some, but not all of it, to leave beautifully unique shoes."
Reapply whenever your look lacks a little sprezzatura.
Distress Your Jeans
Ripped jeans were as unexpected a 1990s return as Pokémon. Unlike Pokémon, however, we reckon distressed denim has some staying power. The grungier alternative to all that heavy raw selvedge is softer, lighter and comes with in-built ventilation. The off-the-rack stuff also packs three-figure price tags. The wise man 'updates' his own.
Start by running a razor over your jeans to scuff and soften patches of fabric. For larger gashes, back your jeans with a piece of wood and cut a small hole with a knife, then tease the edges apart until you get a narrow rip (unless you're Axl Rose, don't tear the whole thing at once). Wash to soften the raw edges then tease out a few extra fibres with tweezers.
Lose Your Socks
It's a classic summer move. "But I can't stress enough that losing the socks doesn't actually mean losing the socks," says Haynes. Rather than going calfskin-on-skin, buffer with Falke's cooling invisible socks (£8, falke.com): they absorb sweat, stop blisters and the polyamide fibres help your skin dump heat.
Unless your office is the Pitti Uomo palazza, keep the look to off-duty days, says Beecroft. Loafers, yes. Black lace-ups, not so much. You'll also need a decent shoe rotation. Leather absorbs sweat but any other fabric becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
At the end of the day, when you take off your shoes, give them 10 minutes to air out, says Beeston, then slip in shoe trees (£20.70, afinepairofshoes.co.uk). Unvarnished cedar absorbs moisture – and smells.
Make A Shirt A Jacket
Some wardrobes have two settings: shorts or overcoats. But our unpredictable climate demands more nuance. Solution? Use casual shirts as makeshift jackets over tees and vests.
"Camp collared shirts work nicely," says Gilfillan. It's a look that speaks of hazy Havana summers, so is best accessorised with some age. Wear yours open over a white crew neck, with a worn-in leather belt to cinch-in even more worn-in Levi's.
And remember that grunge thing we talked about? You can steal more from Kurt Cobain's wardrobe. This season, checked shirts double up as belts, to create a layered, I'm with the band look that's best harmonised with those just-ripped jeans and a vintage tee (see below).
Brine Your T-shirts
On that subject, T-shirt nirvana is finding that soft, broken-in tee that wears like you've owned it since childhood. But you can get the same effect, without the wait.
Dunk your shirt into a bowl full of water, then add half a cup of salt and three teaspoons of baking soda. Let it soak for five days, as the cocktail breaks down your T-shirt's fibres like a decade of moshing. Your brand new tee just became a vintage favourite.
Stonewash Your Dark Jeans
We don't have a vendetta against raw denim – it's just lighter washes work better in warmer weather. You can adapt the brining method above to give your winter jeans a blue-sky makeover.
This time add three cups of salt and leave to soak for a full week. Once they're softened, wring them dry and rub with a pumice stone to strip away the indigo. You've got authentic stonewash, no Delorean required.

Messianic Significance to Tu b'Shevat
- Details
- Hits: 3107
The 15th of the Jewish month Shevat is celebrated in modern times as a Jewish "Arbor Day." Moses declares in Leviticus 19:23-25 that the age of trees mattered as to when its fruit could be eaten. For this reason, Rabbis of the Talmudic era chose the 15th of Shevat (i.e., Tu b'Shevat) as the "new year" for the trees. This was necessary to start the agricultural clock for tithing the fruit of the land. During the middle ages, Sephardic Jews under Kabalistic influence added a so-called "spiritual dimension" to the eating of fruit, and developed a special Tu b'Shevat Seder modeled after the Passover Seder. More recently (i.e., after the rise of Zionism) Tu b'Shevat became synonymous with the land of Israel, and thus Jews today plant trees to commemorate the day.
As Messianic Believers we have to ask ourselves what to do about Tu b'Shevat because there is no explicit commandment or example in Scripture to celebrate it (then again, some of our brothers in Yeshua celebrate "Reformation Day" so let's not be too picky …). The strong Kabalistic sense to the holiday also should give us pause; we do not accept the Kabalah as Scripture, and the notion of "eating fruits to channel divine energy" simply has no basis in Scripture. Because the Levitical priesthood does not function today as it did in ancient Israel, there is no need to run a tithing clock, and thus we are running out of reasons to celebrate Tu b'Shevat.
However, the reason Messianic Believers should celebrate Tu b'Shevat is because this day is celebrated by Jews around the world, the very people with whom we want to reach. Our question is then rephrased as: is there a Scripturally-based interpretation we can derive from Tu b'Shevat today? How can we relate this festival to our faith in Messiah Yeshua?
Certainly one Messianic connection could be to celebrate the Tree of Life, the Torah (i.e., Written Scripture, all 66 books). But we already have such a holiday, Simchat Torah, the joy of the Torah.
The Kabalists celebrate the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil and the spiritual dimensions of eating fruit … this is altogether too un-Scriptural and not where we want to go.
We could use the festival to celebrate the harvest, the bountifulness of God's provision. But we also have holidays such as Shavuot for this purpose. Let's keep looking.
Tu b'Shavat is also referred to as a "new year for trees" … we already have other new years on the Jewish calendar so let's just enjoy the day without attaching any Scriptural significance to it.

At 3 p.m. Monday in the lower lobby of the Intercontinental on Front (TIFF headquarters for most journalists), with 10 minutes to kill between interviews, I decided to use the time getting organized. I spread my notes and tapes on a handy piano and started labelling. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone sit on the piano bench. Suddenly this lovely, Cole Porter-ish music filled the air. I looked up to smile at the pianist. Dustin Hoffman smiled back. One lone handler stood nearby. He played his song. I leaned on the piano and listened, like we were in a cocktail lounge. Two minutes later, he stopped, I applauded, he stood up and gave me a little bow. Then he and his handler walked off. Spell broken, I looked wildly around. No one else had noticed. That moment was his and mine alone.Report Typo/Error

Artist Update: Norah Jones
posted by Tom Moon on November 17, 2009 at 6:59 pm
in Norah Jones, The Fall, Come Away With Me, pop divas, Beyonce, Kanye, Jacquire King, Blossom Dearie
Thoughts on Norah Jones' career makeover, and her new album The Fall.
For a while there, at least as long as it took to promote the two respectible albums that followed her monster debut Come Away With Me, it looked like Norah Jones was set for life. She could ride that chanteuse thing forever. She could reel off those luminous, self-pitying torch ballads one after another. She'd established a brand, and like all saavy brand managers, she seemed to know her wheelhouse and exactly how far to stray from it.
Until now.
This week, Jones ditches the cozy cocoon of the torchy cabaret and sets off on a repositioning mission, placing herself somewhere in the vicinity of the present. The scantily-clad shrill-diva present. The ProTools present. The Beyonce/Kanye present. For her fourth effort The Fall, the singer and songwriter wrote and gathered material that is similar in spirit and aspiration (and backbeat!) to the endeavors of our most lavishly overproduced pop stars. The media will seize upon the "risk" involved in this – after all, the Old Coot Society has plenty of members who love Jones just the way she was. And besides, the diva field is a tad overcrowded.
It could be argued that staying put is the best career move for Norah Jones. But apparently with her, the impulse isn't about dollars or market share – it's curiosity. As her previous works (including the lively Little Willies side product) show, she's a seeker, a singer and musician with a restless streak and the confidence to test her spectacularly expressive multi-hued voice in new surroundings. Though some of her longtime accomplices (Jesse Harris) are on board, The Fall is a profoundly new thing – she's collaborating with a super-successful rock producer (Jacquire King, of the recent Kings of Leon) and a band full of R&B hotshots, on songs that strive to slip some subtlety and dimension into the mostly prefab pop present. That's an admirable crusade, because it's not at all clear whether a woman well versed in the Advanced Calculus of Gershwin melodies and the coy come-on (a la Blossom Dearie's immortal "Lover, peel me a grape") can connect with an audience for whom "Text me ASAP" qualifies as a profound lyric.
It's a split-level trick Jones runs here: The tunes on The Fall are more rhythmically assertive, and in terms of production, more contemporary, than anything she's done before. But her vocal phrasing – that wistful behind-the-beat approach she picked up from the jazz greats – is the same as it ever was. The contrast, it turns out, is sublime and delicious. If you're tired of divas filling every second of every track with outsized exortations, check Norah Jones here, as she rolls through sweet nothings suffused with yearning and doubt and those deep-in-the-gut tones people emit, involuntarily, when they've been wounded by love. This is singing on a human scale.
That duality – the cool chop of modern production providing a foundation for the glowy warmth of Jones' voice – pretty much defines The Fall, from the slinking opener ("Chasing Pirates") through a glance toward Fleetwood Mac ("Young Blood") and a ripe old Texas downer ("Stuck"). The tunes themselves are sturdy, sometimes slight-seeming and a bit unexceptional. Then Jones starts slithering around, singing in that casual, forever-hurt way, and suddenly, unexpectedly, they blossom into something profound. It's not the words, or the tunes. It's Jones – and that ache she brushes over the lines, the graceful turns and little twinges that transform ordinary lyrics into expressions of disarming depth.

John Quincy Adams to Louisa Catherine Johnson, 31 May 1797
The Hague 31. May 1797.
I have received my kind friend's letters of 3d, 16th: and 19th: of May, and am impatiently waiting to hear from you and your father again. I am going this day on a tour to Amsterdam, where I shall make the arrangements for my immediate departure; so that I shall probably not remain here long enough to receive your reply to this Letter. There are many difficulties in the way of any arrangement that I can take.—The situation of the Country to which I am going is not the least of them.—It is extremely precarious, as Portugal [. . .] every prospect of becoming the seat of War.
My brother has returned from Paris after passing a month there, very agreeably. I have been in the meantime very much engaged, and am so still. It is a poor apology to you for writing you so shortly but it is the best, and the only one I have.—You make frequent use of the appellation "my Adams".—I do not like it.—It is a stile of address that looks too much like that of novels. A bare proper Name does not sound or look well for a Man, in real life.—I have endeavoured to habituate myself to it, because you appear fond of using it; but it looks to me more and more uncouth and awkward.
Remember me kindly to all the family, and believe me ever affectionately / yours

Pre-Design Studies
We have extensive experience working with private developers, cities, counties, metropolitan planning organizations and state and federal agencies to complete the pre-design approval process for a potential infrastructure project. We will guide developers through the pre-design procedures—from planning/project identification, to the prioritization process, to the pre-design approval studies.
The process is especially complicated for a roadway corridor improvement because specific project initiation activities are required to further define the project and address the associated issues. We will help you complete pre-design route and corridor studies to determine social, economic and environmental impacts associated with a potential project. In most cases, the study follows a formal process established by the National Environmental Policy Act and enhanced by any local- or state-mandated environmental acceptance processes. Route and corridor studies ultimately require a coordinated effort by a multidisciplinary team comprising planners, environmental scientists and professional engineers who collect and analyze project-related information to develop the best solution for a community's local and regional transportation needs.
Our multidisciplinary team considers reasonable financial constraints and projected travel demand to identify conceptual improvement options for a given transportation route or corridor. Our strategy includes generating local, regional and state consensus through an active stakeholder collaboration process. We will help you define a project mitigation plan that is socially acceptable to all parties and create 30 percent design plans. This phase of work will then serve as the groundwork for the final design of the corridor improvement.

Carlos, 20, is out to finally nail the elusive win after finishing second to Gregory Foo in Canlubang last year and to Korean Wang Jeung Hun at Riviera in 2010. "Something like four-under overall could be very tough to do over a course like this one," said Carlos, referring to the tough, challenging layout. "You can't gamble too much, you have to be very patient, otherwise, the course can really punish you." Zaragosa, meanwhile, enjoyed one of his finest moments in a men's tournament when he ruled the match play edition of the event two years ago. Others expected to contend for the crown in the event serving as the first leg of the NGAP-PLDT Group Philippine Amateur Tour are rising stars Gabriel Manotoc, Basti Lorenzo and Andres Saldana. Singapore's A-team is also in the field sans Foo, who has begged off from defending the crown due to his obligations with the Singaporean military.

The redevelopment of Battersea Power Station moved a step closer yesterday after years of setbacks and frustration, as London Mayor Boris Johnson gave the plan his blessing.
The iconic building, which featured on the cover of the Pink Floyd album Animals and has stood vacant since 1983, will be restored and the London Underground's Northern Line will be extended nearby. This forms part of a wider strategy to redevelop the Nine Elms area.
English Heritage has described the power station as in a "very bad" state and was put on the list of 100 most endangered sites by the World Monuments Fund. Previous plans to have failed include turning it into a theme park, a concert venue, a football ground and a retail park.Reuse content

For motivated individuals, I offer my OAS Coaching Program.
Often times people have a hard time trying to recover using traditional approaches such as: counseling, rehab, self-help groups, psychotherapy etc. Coaching is a fast-growing form of addiction treatment.
If someone wants to lose 20 pounds and get in the best shape of their life they can accomplish this much faster with a personal trainer.
That's what I am. A trainer that is an Opiate Recovery Specialist who can help you achieve your goals.
Coaching can be used to help an individual quit drugs. It can also be used as a form of aftercare or continuing care. After getting out of detox or rehab the recovering substance abusers are usually shoved in sober living homes and 12-step meetings.
While this works well for some, it simply doesn't produce results for others. Having a personal recovery coach to help guide you along the way can be the perfect aftercare plan.

Hawaii Gov: Budget takes top priority
Associated Press
HONOLULU — Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie says the state budget is his top priority for this coming year, in addition to energy and education.
The governor detailed his priorities during the annual State of the State address to lawmakers at the state Capitol on Tuesday.
"We have now turned a fiscal corner," he said, saying that the state's finances are stable compared to two years ago.
He said the government must now take care of pension deficits and other unfunded liabilities.
Abercrombie wants to budget $100 million for retirement benefits, specifically those categorized as Other Post-Employment Benefits. He also wants to re-invest in emergency funds.
Abercrombie said pay reductions for state workers will end in July. Employees took a 5-percent pay cut in 2011 following the state budget crisis.
The governor also wants to stimulate the economy through construction investments. He said he has asked Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui to take the lead on this initiative.
In addition to fiscal measures, Abercrombie is establishing a task force to research Hawaii's energy options and wants to amend renewable energy tax credits.
He also wants to implement a new preschool education program, increase the minimum wage by $1.50 and improve environmental protections. The governor's budget proposal includes about $31 million for early childhood education over the next two years.
House Minority Leader Aaron Ling Johanson called Abercrombie's speech "a good, ambitious agenda" but questioned the funding source.
"A measure of fiscal prudence is in order," he said.
Lawmakers also questioned the feasibility of the governor's preschool education plan.
House Majority Leader Scott Saiki said the program may require a constitutional amendment before it can be implemented. Senate President Donna Kim agreed.
The Hawaii state constitution says that the government can't fund private educational institutions —which rules out school voucher programs.
Kim said that the state would have to review the needs of existing K-12 programs before committing to a new preschool venture.

Washington Square
Everything seems to happen in Washington Square, New York. It is one of my favourite places, especially in the autumn when the trees cascade such beautiful colours. A thick carpet of leaves that makes it possible to scuff!
Performers from every ethnic group entertained us with stand-up political comedy, classical piano, (I did not see how the grand piano arrived!). Children of all ages drew pavement pictures with jumbo chalks, and the squirrels nibbled the crumbs and then scampered to the safety of the trees.
Children played in the special children's playground, dog owners gathered to chat in the fenced dog enclosure, while dogs of all shapes and sizes chased each other and played!
I like Washington Square

New York, New York!
I have been really inspired by the work of so many arts therapists and their expertise in working with trauma. Trauma of many varied kinds: victims of torture, genocide, tsunami, family abuse were presented during a 2 day Symposium in New York.
My own presentation focussed on the long term results of early trauma from the early abuse and cruelty inflicted on babies and toddlers in the Eastern European orphanages. Rowan Tree Trust sponsors special projects with teenagers and young adults who sleep on railway stations and in abandoned cars in Romania.
The principles of Neuro-Dramtic-Play are enjoyed by these disadvantaged groups, with a focus on sensory, rhythmic and dramatic playfulness. There is a DVD showing detailed work with a group of 'Railway Boys', taking part in an NDP project.
The more of this work I do, the more I realise that it is back to the body for basic principles of working with trauma.

A Good Year! 2014
Happy New Year Everyone and I hope it will be a very positive and hopeful year. I am now traversing the second anniversary of dear Peter's death (January 4). Amidst the floods and winds it is difficult to think that the world will be warm and cheerful! I have been helped enormously by the recent book by Martin Seligman, 'Flourish' (2011).
Seligman has moved on from his previous book 'Authentic Happiness' and developed the psychology of well-being. Well-Being includes the following elements of:
Positive emotion,
These five elements are each elaborated with important qualities such as hope and courage.
Hope and courage can see us through many difficulties!

The Invention of Senoi Dream Therapy!
When I did my fieldwork with the Temiars in the Malaysian rain forest (1973-1974), I was aware of the literature written by Kilton Stewart, including his PhD thesis. After his brief field-trip, Stewart began to promote an approach to dream control that he maintains he had learnt from the Senoi (the two groups of Senoi are the Semai and the Temiars). He maintains that this accounted for their peaceful nature and lack of violence. These ideas took off in an explosion in the US and have been repeated continuously in almost every book on dreaming and lucid dreaming. right to the present day. They are even mentioned by Marie von Franz in one of her films.
I lived for over a year with the Temiars with my three children, we were able to converse with them in their own language, and we lived in one of their traditional houses. We traveled between several other villages on the banks of two main rivers in Kelantan.
And yes, they give great significance to their dreams and are always willing to discuss them, but there is absolutely no evidence that they have a system of dream control and hold 'dream clinics' after breakfast. However if one of these writers is challenged they will answer, that well the authors are now dead so we cannot ask them or everything was destroyed after WW2 or there must be another group that you did not visit in deep jungle...
The romanticisation of the Temiars, promoting an idealised life of peace and non-violence, is a very powerful fantasy to let go.
There will be more on this topic in another blog, as there is too much material for such a short piece. But do check your dream books and see what they promote about the Temiars

Irresponsible Advertising - pandering to nudge nudge attitudes.
I am getting very weary of complaining about advertisements on TV. There are some ads that I really like, such as 'You can call me Brian...' on Confused.com: endearing, likeable and I hope they bring out a little model!
The most recent Marmite ad is really quite pernicious; it mimics a child abuse raid and the accusation is cruelty to a jar of Marmite, as it is taken into care. As a great life-long lover of Marmite, it leaves me with a dilemma. This advertisement trivialises the actual circumstance surrounding child abuse, and the opening shots can be mistaken as an actual Social Services intervention. At the very least it is in extremely bad taste, at worst it is playing into the fantasies of paedophiles .
The other ad which is really dangerous, is for one of the toilet cleaners - a man calls with a hard hat and overalls to fix something; the woman lets him in the house without asking for his ID. He fixes whatever it is and then asks to use her loo; thought bubble comes out of her head of whether it is clean enough. He uses loo and leaves with big seductive smiles all round.
This is just a mirror of how con-men really work! Turn up in overalls or uniform, get access to your house, use the 'facilities', either rob straight away or make a plan to come back later!
It is very irresponsible advertising and I wonder who is really monitoring these ads and what tests they have to pass?

Stopping to think.....
The new high speed rail link is now going to cost 80 billion, will take 20 years and will rip up a lot of countryside. It makes no sense economically, environmentally or ethically. And there is no guarantee that the costs won't go up again.
Lets think in a whole new way about what might just make people happier, less stressed and healthier. All the community projects, that in the long ago past brought people together, preserved cultural traditions, contained anti-social behaviour and integrated all ages and abilities have virtually disappeared. The arts are marginalised, or seen as a luxury, and dismissed as non-essential in schools.
Just one billion (leaving 79 billion for hospitals, community projects, care home overhaul, and schools), would allow us to employ all the actors and artists as community arts workers, or to train them as arts therapists, and encourage new skills for people leaving school with few prospects. The arts revolution could train all teachers in basic arts and provide space for art studios, drama and dance workshops, comprehensive music resources and performance spaces.
Foolish dreaming? Well maybe dreams are worth pondering, and sometimes they might just be realised

I have at last moved to where I intended - Stratford-upon-Avon. I have already lived here twice, for eight years and two years, and before setting off on new journeys. Perhaps in the olden days I would have been the female equivalent of a journeyman. But more about nomadic life and touring in another blog.
Now I am here to stay, in a tiny rented terraced house in the middle of the town. The theatre and the beautiful river with its old willow trees are six minutes from my doorstep. The surrounding countryside makes for stimulating walks and nothing much has changed. Maybe there are some new developments on the outskirts and road systems that do not always make sense, but essentially the core of Stratford is here: its merchants, travellers, inns, markets, river-craft and of course entertainment.
I have learned something about creating environments, and this undersized dwelling and diminutive garden is slowly being changed into a set worthy of A Midsummer Night's Dream. As the picture shows I am experimenting with drapes, fabrics and garlands. Please see my Facebook Sue Jennings to see the continuing story of the transformations. They grow lovelier by the day!

Staskunas was our pick
Despite what a mailing to West Allis voters might lead some to think, we recommend the incumbent, Tony Staskunas.
A mailing to West Allis voters gives the impression that this Editorial Board recommended a challenger to Rep. Tony Staskunas in the 15th Assembly District.
It's false.
The mailing says it was paid for by "Friends of David Nickel, Treasurer Ralph West." Nickel did not return a call to his home.
This board on Oct. 21 unambiguously recommended Staskunas. We normally view this space on election day as a politics-free zone. Not today. We understand how bad campaigns have become. We object strongly to being used as a tool in this effort.
The mailing says, "In the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it said, The Choice is Clear." It then continued with chatter to make it appear as if that choice was Nickel.
Nope. The author of this mailing might claim that it never technically attributed that chatter supportive of Nickel to our editorial. OK, it just leaves you with that impression. That makes it a lie.
So, let us be clear. On Oct. 21, we enthusiastically and without reservation recommended Staskunas for the 15th Assembly District.
We continue to believe he is the far better choice.

Trial timeline: Myles Webster found guilty in officer shooting
Myles Webster, 23, was found guilty Dec. 11 of trying to kill Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty in March.
Prosecutors said Webster shot Doherty several times while trying to flee capture.
On Day 1 of the trial, the jury was taken to the scene of the crime. Webster and his attorneys look on.PHOTO: (WMUR/Ray Brewer)
Doherty took the stand during the trial and testified that Webster was the shooter.
A sigificant amount of evidence was shown during the trial, including Doherty's bulletproof vest.
Doherty's bloody t-shirt was also shown to the jury.
Prosecutors said this was gun used to shoot Doherty.
Defense attorneys called only one witness: Manchester Police Sgt. Michael Biron, to the stand. Biron testified that Doherty told him in the emergency room that he was shot by a heavy-set Hispanic male wearing dark clothing with his hair in a pony tail, a description the defense argued did not represent Webster.
In all, 32 witnesses (31 by the prosecution, 1 by the defense) were called to the stand. Witnesses included officers, forensic experts and doctors.
Detective Ken Loui was on the stand the longest. He testified for one hour, 37 minutes, discussing the crime scenes and evidence in the case.
Jennifer Whitfield, meanwhile, was on the stand for one hour, 11 minutes. She testified that she was with Webster before the shooting took place.
In closing arguments, defense attorneys argued that this was all a case of mistaken identity.
The state, however, argued that the evidence proved Webster shot Doherty.
The trial was then put in the hands of the jury on Dec. 11. The jury was comprised of seven men and nine women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
After a couple hours of deliberating, jurors found Myles Webster guilty on all counts.
Webster was found guilty of attempted murder, robbery, resisting arrest or detention and two counts of reckless conduct.
Webster was then taken away from the courtroom in handcuffs.
Doherty was seen shaking hands after the trial.PHOTO: (WMUR/Andy Hershberger)

Fulham ace John Arne Riise slams Bobby Zamora over Martin Jol claims
JOHN ARNE RIISE has hit back at Bobby Zamora's claim that Fulham boss Martin Jol is battling a dressing room revolt.
Martin Jol dismissed Bobby Zamora's accusations as sour grapes
QPR striker Zamora, who left the Cottagers in January, suggested last week that Jol is not popular with the majority of his squad.
But the Dutchman dismissed his accusations as sour grapes and Riise believes Fulham's performance in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Southampton shows the team spirit is high.
Fulham were trailing 1-0 with 20 minutes to go at St Mary's before hitting back to lead 2-1, only to be denied a rare away win by a late Jose Fonte equaliser.
And the former Liverpool full-back said: "The way we fought back shows team spirit is good and we always believe if we play our football we can score goals."
Riise is still searching for his first Fulham goal but his piledriver was turned into his own net by Jos Hooiveld for Fulham's equaliser against Saints.
He added: "I will claim an assist and I am getting closer to scoring myself."

Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Weight Loss Surgery Procedure
posted on
Bariatric surgery continues to be one of the most effective ways to lose weight permanently, but it cannot take care of all the issues associated with maintaining a healthy weight. If you need to lose more than 50 pounds, your weight loss surgeon may recommend a bariatric procedure such as gastric bypass surgery, LAP-BAND surgery or gastric banding surgery to trigger steady weight loss in just a few months.
Key Lifestyle Changes with Weight Loss Surgery
- Slowly increasing physical activity
- Assessing and logging in daily food intake
- Undergoing counseling to adapt to the changing body image
- Eliminating social situations that promote overeating
- Tackling any emotional issues that triggered overeating with a therapist
- Making time to prepare special foods and meals to complement a healthier lifestyle

text: THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TETRA Technologies, Inc. (TETRA or the Company) (NYSE:TTI) today announced that its majority owned, publicly-traded partnership, Compressco Partners, L.P. (Compressco or the Partnership), has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all the outstanding shares of Compressor Systems, Inc. (CSI) for $825 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments.This acquisition is expected to increase Compressco's total horsepower offering from approximately 187,000 to over 1,045,000, and will allow Compressco to utilize an expanded range of compressor packages (from 20 HP units to 2,370 HP units) for compression services to customers. It is anticipated that this expansion of Compressco's service offerings will allow the Partnership to participate in the compression market at a broader level. CSI, founded in 1971 and based in Midland, Texas, is the largest privately held, full service natural gas compression provider in the U.S. CSI fabricates, sells, and maintains natural gas compressors and provides compression services that cover the entire natural gas production and transportation cycle to a broad customer base. CSI owns one of the largest fleets of natural gas compression equipment in the United States, with over 275 units in the 1,000 horsepower and larger range. In addition, CSI fabricates and sells engine-driven oilfield fluid pump systems primarily for the international market. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, CSI's aggregate revenues were $311 million, and EBITDA was $82.3 million. Compressco has obtained committed financing to complete the transaction, which is expected to close in early August. However, it is currently anticipated that financing will include Compressco's issuance of approximately $400 million of public equity and $350 million of publicly-rated senior notes, with the balance being drawn from a $400 million revolving credit facility. TETRA expects to purchase common units in the equity offering and make contributions to maintain its approximate 2% general partner interest in an aggregate amount of up to $40 million. Stuart Brightman, TETRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Compressco, commented, "This acquisition is the next step in a series of strategic moves to position TETRA to generate improved and more predictable earnings and cash flows. We are excited to acquire a company with such a strong reputation in the industry, a diverse product offering, a solid management team, and a robust customer base. In addition, we believe that this acquisition will allow TETRA to significantly increase our cash flow from Compressco. I am extremely pleased to announce this strategic acquisition. We expect to create synergies of between $5 million and $10 million on an annualized basis, beginning in 2015. "Looking forward, the combined organization will be led by Tim Knox, CSI's current President. Ron Foster will take on the role of Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, and James Rounsavall will serve as Chief Financial Officer. We believe that this blending of the current CSI and Compressco leadership will provide continuity for both organizations, while retaining valuable institutional knowledge and industry experience. When we have completed this acquisition, the combined management teams across TETRA, Compressco and CSI will be managing a world-class global enterprise that will create value for both TETRA and Compressco shareholders." Mr. Brightman continued, "Based on a number of specific assumptions, we understand that Compressco management expects to be able to recommend to its Board of Directors a 12-14% increase in the cash distribution per outstanding common unit attributable to the quarter ending December 31, 2014 (the first full quarter following the acquisition), compared to the $0.4525 distribution per outstanding unit, or $1.81 per outstanding unit on an annualized basis, attributable to quarter ended June 30, 2014. To meet the strong demand for compression services, following the acquisition, we expect to grow capital expenditures to between $90 and $100 million in 2015, which will provide incremental revenues and is expected to facilitate additional increases in cash distributions. Compressco currently expects to generally maintain a coverage ratio of 1.2 times distributable cash flow to distributions, consistent with our past practices." Following the transaction, it is currently expected that TETRA's ownership of the Partnership will be reduced to approximately 46%. TETRA will maintain 100% ownership of the Partnership's general partner, and will continue to consolidate the results of Compressco in its financial statements.

302 Redirect
Definition - What does 302 Redirect mean?
A 302 redirect is a name for an HTTP status code that involves the number 302. With this code, the browser is redirected from one URL to another. A 302 redirect is often simply called a temporary redirect, unlike a 301 redirect, which is based on a different HTTP status code and is characterized as a permanent redirect.
Techopedia explains 302 Redirect
302 redirects may be on-domain redirects, where a URL is replaced with another from the same domain, or off-domain redirects, which actually take the browser from one domain to another. In many cases, a 302 redirect can return a simpler and cleaner URL for users. Along with the utility of this method, there are also concerns about security, specifically the risk of URL hijacking, where unauthorized hackers can redirect users.
Different search engines and other technologies have their own specific strategies for using 302 redirects. The IT community looks at how these standards are changing in ways that will serve Web users better while providing competitive security on the Internet.

In the aftermath of Ian Watmore's shock departure from a Football Association he clearly found unworkable, weary veterans of the FA's previous civil wars were struggling to identify an issue momentous enough to merit a walkout. Watmore was clearly emotional when he wrote his furious email on Saturday to all members of the FA board, but he was complaining about the leaking of an internal briefing about the new communications director. Deeply frustrating for a chief executive who had specifically asked his board not to leak it? Yes. But the final straw, worthy of resignation from his opportunity – albeit fiendishly difficult – to shape the FA and English football? It does not seem substantial enough.
Watmore, when he joined, cannot have been in doubt about the FA's dysfunctionality, because all its fallouts have been painfully public, as is this one, over his own short stint in that revolving chair. When Adam Crozier resigned as the chief executive in October 2002, the background – Premier League influence – was similar, but Crozier's was a much bloodier battle, with knives out and briefings against him. Dave, now Sir David, Richards, led the campaign and Crozier resigned on a point of principle, refusing to sign off in effect a Premier League takeover.
Watmore, another bright youngish man with valuable experience, a Cambridge graduate with senior positions in the Downing Street Delivery Unit and at the consultant Accenture behind him, has gone apparently following lower-level but similarly dreary clashes. Richards has declared himself bemused, protesting that his dust-ups with Watmore were nothing more than rough and tumble, but that does not seem to be the way a sophisticated – and more emotional than previously realised – executive has experienced the FA boardroom's quality of debate.
Richards's fitness for the multiple high offices he holds in football has long been the focus for bewilderment in some quarters. He was voted in as the handsomely paid part-time chairman of the Premier League in 2000, with the support of his main backer, Ken Bates, having steered Sheffield Wednesday, as the chairman, to the brink of relegation with debts of £20m from which the club have still not recovered. Richards's own business, Three Star Engineering, was running into financial difficulties and went into administrative receivership with the loss of 120 jobs.
At the FA, Richards is said to work hard as chair of the international committee, and at the Football Foundation, where he was the chair for years, he supported millions of pounds in grants to grass-roots projects. Yet his representation of the Premier League's strategic interests at the FA top table is wielded, according to insiders, with blunt confidence and, at times, belligerence.
Yet compared to the fury which spilled Crozier's blood on the Soho Square carpet, Watmore has served in a time of relative ceasefire, excepting the Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore's seethe over FA chairman Lord Triesman's observations about Premier League debt.
It is true that the Premier League is not about to allow the FA, which should be the game's governing body, authority to regulate the takeovers and financial excesses which are, finally, the focus of mainstream alarm. But Watmore apparently accepted going slowly, with consensus, into that area, and it has been stressed that he and Scudamore had a good working relationship, as Watmore did with Triesman, too.
It does not seem this most crucial area, or any major issue, but an accumulation of small blocks, continued experience of what Richards felt was rough and tumble, which led Watmore to find it all intolerable.
Yet to depict Richards, or the Premier League, as the undiluted villains would overlook a central weakness in Triesman's and Watmore's handling of the FA. The stagnation of the FA board, with five representatives from the professional game and five from the amateur "national" game, has been recognised for years.
A solution was proposed as long ago as 2005 when Lord Burns, the ex-Treasury mandarin, in a tedious review which was itself a missed opportunity for radical overhaul, suggested the representatives be reduced to three from each side, and two independent non-executive directors appointed. It is not an answer, but if Watmore had had two decent people from outside football's airless corridors to help carve a direction, it could surely have done no harm.
However, there is no evidence of concerted effort to introduce that reform, despite the government repeatedly urging it on the FA. The reason, some say, is that although the Premier League claims to support Burns, 10 turkeys at board level will not vote Christmas in for four of them. That, though, is no excuse for not trying.
One penetrating criticism of Richards's record has been that he left Sheffield Wednesday when they were going down, rather than doing what football is all about: digging in to turn things round. There is instinctive sympathy for Watmore now, but his own walkout leaves the FA weaker, with even less chance of asserting itself, as the governing body for which English football is crying out.

The economic culture of Russia is which is a country holding a land mass is 6.6 million square miles which is 1.8 times bigger than that of the United States bends towards a collective communism. Although the United States records a higher GDP under the capitalism economic culture, Russians support a collectivistic economic culture of mutual support that have helped the nation achieve higher growth rate, industrial and agriculture investment percentage than the United States. The U.S. practice an individual private enterprise economic culture of free trade or capitalism, which advocate for least government engagement in trade and industrial investment except enacting laws to harmonize trade and commerce. United States approves of individualism culture that rewards development of private enterprise unlike the Russian communism culture that is protectionist in nature: it protects the Russian industrial and agriculture investment from global competition. Unlike the United States where investment of private enterprise is protected by a code of ethics, Russian investment in private sector is interfered with by government, mafia and local factors that are approved by government to protect internal economy and support regional institutions of development. In 1993, Russians adopted socialistic communism once again after cancelling privatization and capitalism business practices introduced a few decades earlier. Therefore, the main difference between U.S. economic culture and Russia is that Americans approve of capitalism while Russian advocate for communism.Political
Both Russia and the United States have a federal system of government which bends towards the model of democratic political representation whereby American and Russian citizens as voters elect their respective political leaders and their president. Contrastingly, the Russian political management model copies from the aristocratic model in which the president can interfere with political freedom in order to sustain economic development to enhance GDP growth and distribute resources equitably. Executive power in Russia is under direct control of the President, who selects a prime minister who must be approved by State Duma (McFaul & Stoner-Weiss, 2008). Russia has a bicameral Federal Assembly comprising the Federal Council, which consists of appointed professional individuals and the State Duma or the lower house comprised of elected representatives. Every regional government is supposed to remain autonomous. However, Putin's action of appointing efficient and effective managers as governors undermines the federal government autonomy. Voters from all regions in Russia elect their president to a six-year term following a change of constitution in 2008 that replaced the former four year presidential cycle. The Russian President reduced political control from regional governments by establishing seven superregional districts governed by former generals and KGB officers to maintain the influence of the federal government based in the Moscow Kreml (McFaul & Stoner-Weiss, 2008). The seven governors practice bureaucratic leadership in controlling federal assets providing jurisdiction checks on the regional leaders, who are elected by the Russian Voters.
Contrastingly, the United States' political model, which comprises a federal government and a states government that are similar to federal and regional Russian governments, holds a strict code of conduct which does not allow the president to interfere with individual state affairs as enshrined in the states respective constitutions. The U.S. political hierarchy is divided into the Senate comprised of elected senators from the 50 states and the House of Representatives, which consists of individual state elected members.
The origin of Soviet Union rejected laws as basis of arbitration since laws had a bourgeois origin and Soviets distrusted courts and judges unlike Americans who believe in court fairness. Political interference within legal culture of Russia is highly influenced by the use of prosecutor culture. The government controls the prosecution process thus undermining the fairness of legal procedures. Consequently, most Russians prefer using oral arrangements to settle disputes or some reject reporting or claiming case to avoid the legal procedure (Lewinbuk, 2008).
Both the United States and the modern Russian legal culture are characterized by legal structures that are defined by laws, rules and norms that govern procedures of arbitration and selection of judges. The United States' Constitution is the basic document that supports a free and fair judiciary culture to arbitrate the public and private sectors (FJC, 2012). Both the United States and Russia have Supreme Court institutions. Unlike the American who have a regard for law and litigation processes, Russians hate legal procedures and would rather settle matters orally and out of court.
Democratic culture is accommodated in United States unlike Russia in that besides the Chief Justice bureaucratic hierarchy associated with Federal legal customs, the individual states who have their independent courts use democratic means to appoint their arbiters. The presidency appoints the U.S. Supreme Court, circuit, and district court judges, who must be approved by the U.S. Senate as a democratic culture. Legal matters and cases are handled fairly since judges are protected by a tenure, which can only elapse by being impeached by the House of Representatives and a successful trial by the Senate. Judges in State courts are nominated by a commission system in which legal officers, lawyers, legislators, citizens, and judges nominate and await appointment by state governor or the nominees' campaign for vacant posts and are elected by popular vote (FJC, 2012).
Russian legal culture is a bureaucratic system organized by the 1993 Constitution in which the Russian Court system is divided into three distinct institutions: The Constitution Court of the Russia Federation, Courts of General Jurisdiction and the Arbitrazh or Commercial Courts (Svendsen & Bunik, 2010). The general governing body of courts is the Office of the Procurator General in charge of state prosecution in the Russian court system. The Constitutional Court of Russia is charged with constitutional review processes that help courts and subjects comply with the Federal law, the Duma acts, the normative acts of the president and other regional laws. On the other hand, the Court of General Jurisdiction handles civil, criminal, and administrative cases under the watch of the Supreme Court that coordinates and runs all courts. Economic cases and appeals are handled in the Arbitrazh or commercial courts that use both the Russian and a discreet version of international law when handling international commercial cases.
Bureaucratic culture is used when selecting judges from qualified and well educated Russians who have to pass the judicial examination before becoming judges. The Qualifying Collegium of Judges examines every applicant and gives recommendation before a judge is hired (Svendsen & Bunik, 2010).<…>
The level of Altruism in Russia is very different from the United States' model of providing assistance without requesting payment in turn. However, the United States individualism culture affects the level of altruism in that people are more concern to benefit at a personal level than at the collective level associated with Russians. The U.S. altruism philosophy borders assistance based on the proverb by Martin Luther King Jr, "Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." Russia, on the other hand, deals with its political nations from a discreet stance that remains veiled and unknown to general public such that their main altruism proverb deals with caution; "Trust, but verify". The level of altruism culture in public life is higher in Russia where individual can give up political freedom for the sake of collective benefits. The United States displayed international altruism by enacted the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948 and later the Marshall Plan which aided foreign nations in Europe and Middle East to attain democracy and infrastructure development. The level of cooperation within Russian farmers and investors is quite high due of collective attitude compared to American altruism, which believes in self-reliance. Solidarity is advocated for in Russia between organization and people through the national Alliance of Russian Solidarists, which believes in setting social responsibility between different groups of people (Dmitry & Evseeva, 2009).

Team Bobby vs. Team Anne: Who Will Win Worst Cooks in America?by Maria Russo in Shows, February 12th, 2013
A brand-new season of Worst Cooks in America kicks off this Sunday, and just as the 14 culinary recruits are racing to become the best of the worst in the kitchen, team leaders Chefs Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell are facing off in a competition of their own. Each has just seven short weeks of Boot Camp to attempt to mentor the eventual winning recruit and claim lasting bragging rights over the other.
For Chef Anne, a victory this season would simply be another title in a long line of Worst Cooks successes, as she's claimed consecutive Red Team wins for the past three years. At this stage of the game, she knows the tricks of the competition, has learned how best to instruct her contestants and is sure in her role as the team leader to beat. With only one season of Worst Cooks competition behind him, however, Chef Bobby Flay is still relatively new to what goes down in Boot Camp, but that won't stop him from pulling out his top cooking and coaching chops this season. After a disappointing loss last year, he's more determined than ever to finally take the Blue Team to victory and end Chef Anne's winning streak once and for all.
Will Chef Bobby knock out Chef Anne from her comfortable champion's spot, or does she have what it takes to maintain her undefeated record for a fourth year in a row? Cast your vote below to tell us who you think will win Worst Cooks in America, and be sure to tune in to the premiere on Sunday, February 17 at 9pm/8c.
So tell us: Who do you think will win Worst Cooks in America?

Freshfields has swept the board in Thomson Reuters M&A rankings for the first half of 2014, coming top among all UK-based firms for global, European and UK-related M&A.
In the ranking of deals with UK involvement, Freshfields topped the charts by both value and volume – working on 41 transactions with a total value of $71.1bn.
That sum is almost 50 per cent higher than the deal volume of the magic circle firm's closest competitor during the period, Slaughter and May, which worked on 21 deals worth $36.2bn.
A sizeable chunk of work for both of those firms came courtesy of advising Novartis on its $16bn acquisition of the GlaxoSmithKline's oncology business. Freshfields advised Novartis on the deal, working in parallel with Allens. Meanwhile, Slaughters was instructed by the target, alongside Skadden and Blake Cassels & Graydon.
Freshfields topped up its total by $10.9bn thanks to advising Dutch cable company Ziggo on its $10.9bn acquisition by Liberty Global. Freshfields advised the target, alongside Stibbe and Shearman & Sterling, while Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Stibbe advised its financial advisers. The bidder instructed Allen & Overy, Loyens & Loeff and Ropes & Gray.
Linklaters, Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Clifford Chance and Allen & Overy are among the other firms to secure a spot in the top 10.
Freshfields also shone at European level during the past six months, advising on 87 deals worth $193.2bn during the first half of 2014 – topping the charts by more than $61bn. Allen & Overy, Simpson Thacher and Blake Cassels & Graydon also won spots in the top five.
Freshfields is also the only UK-based firm to secure a spot in the top 10 firms for M&A worldwide, having worked on 105 transactions with a total value of $256.3bn. The firm fell into third place behind Sullivan & Cromwell which advised on 50 deals worth $260.5bn, and Skadden which worked on 96 with a combined value of £376.8bn.
Freshfields' M&A chief Ben Spiers said that the strong results are partly due to the firm's strong private equity and sovereign wealth fund practice, which is beginning to see an uptick in M&A activity following a repressed few years for the market.
He added: "The key is staying close to your clients and looking after them to ensure they instruct you every time. We also work hard at expanding our client base and having such a strong track record obviously helps in that. With stock markets up and plenty of debt available the environment is ripe for a continued good run of M&A over the coming months".

My love is in league with the freeway
It's passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and a glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And it's fuel is the years
Leading me on
Leading me down the road
Driving me on, driving me down the road
