Justin Bieber's New Perfume: Someday
Seeing so much success with his initial venture into the scent market, Justin Bieber is ready to help the ladies smell just right, as well.
The "Never Say Never" star went all out for the gals' perfume, as it comes in a heart-shaped flower of a top to the removable charms hanging from the neck.
According to WWD, Bieber's new perfume is called Someday - while the concoction was created by Honorine Blanc of Firmenich, which described the offering as a "fruity gourmand" formula.
Chiming in on his latest venture while touring the world, Justin said, "Let's be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy! I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."
With part of the profits going towards Pencils of Promise, which builds schools, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the 17-year-old happily told, "Not only am I able to create a fragrance for all my fans, but I am able to give back to charity, which is a huge priority for me. The people at Give Back Brands really get me, and what I represent and care about."
Continuing on about working with Honorine Blanc of Firmenich on the ladies fragrance, Bieber dished, "They really let me take the lead on the entire project, because I know my fans better than anyone — from working with the team on the development of the fragrance itself to helping to design the bottle and packaging."
Set to ship to select stores in June, the fragrance will be offered as an eau de parfum spray ranging in price from $35 for a 1 oz. size to $45 for the 1.7 oz. version to $55 for 3.4 oz.

Better for AC on for shorter or longer periods?
I have a new thermostat and allows you to set the swing temperature from .5* to 2.0*. I find that at a lower setting, the AC runs for shorter periods of time, but more frequently. As you raise the swing to 2.0, it runs longer but less frequently.
Is it better for the AC to run more frequently in shorter periods, or less frequently in longer periods? I'm afraid that turning things on and off more frequently will break them quicker, but something makes me think it might be better overall to run it more frequently.
Short cycling with not give time to dehumidify the home.
I have my swing set at 1.5. Reason being, is that at 1.0 it cycles too much. 1.5 it cycles the right amount of times that I want it too, and runs for a longer period. Do not go to 2.0, unless you want long periods between the unit running and sitting Idle. That means, that the temp of the house would have to get two degrees above the set point of the thermostat. So, if you set the thermostat at lets say 72, it would have to get 74 in the house before it would kick on, and would have to run for a very long period to get it back down to 72.
Electric motors don't like to be cycled. They can run for a long time but cycling on and off is hard on them with the start-up amps. In addition it takes my ac about 5-10 mins to start putting out really cold 55F air, so constant cycling of it would drastically decrease efficiency as well. My opinion, is set the longest run time you can handle.
Thanks all for the responses.
It came by default set to 1 or 1.5*, but I upped it to the max, which is 2.0*. At 1 or 1.5, it seemed to be cycling too much. At 2.0, it seems a lot better.
I had a feeling that for comfort and efficiency, a short cycle would be better. For equipment longevity though, I had a feeling that a longer cycle is better. It's good to hear from the experts about their thoughts.
What are you saying that it is cycling too much? On for 5, off for 5, then back on? On for 10, off for 15, then back on? If it is "short" cycling, whether it is on for 5, then off for 5, or on for 10, then off for 10 at either 1 or 1.5, you have other issues. Ether too many air leaks in the house, or over sized hvac equipment.

"It's amazing we're even improvising at all.
So many people wouldn't be able to be doing what we're doing.
That in itself is exciting. Embrace that bravery."
– Joanna Simmons, Story Pirates
The above is an improv mantra held dear by Elana Fishbein, one of the original members of Magnet House Team Featherweight. Hopefully you have seen one of their shows. If not, block off an hour on Wednesday and catch this notable Megawatt team.
On November 13th, 2013 I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with 6 of the 8 current members to pick their brains about the team, themselves, and how they play together. For all of you who don't know, Featherweight is the most veteran Megawatt team at the Magnet. They were formed on late August 28th, 2008 by Peter McNerney, who also served as their first coach for almost a full year (they are now coached by Joe Miles). Their original line-up was Jesse Acini (now on All American), Russ Armstrong (now on Chet Watkins), Noel Dinneen, Elana Fishbein, Jess Lane (now out in Los Angeles), Blake Merriman, Jared McGrail (traveling the country doing a webcast), and Justin Moran. Their first form was The Harold and their name came from a scene that happened at their very first practice: Elana Fishbein had brushed her hand against Jess Lane's breasts to which Elana exclaimed, "Oh! They're featherlight!" From Featherlight came Featherweight, also pitched by Elana. Since then, Featherweight has gone on to be one of the most celebrated teams of the Magnet – playing for over 5 years on Wednesday nights, traveling to do the Philly and Boston Improv Festivals, performing at colleges, launching 2 pilots, and competing and losing in the very first Inspirado competition (their challenge, titled Farts! Farts! Farts!, required every scene to have a fart).
Like every veteran Magnet team, Featherweight since its inception has undergone changes. The line-up that you will see today is almost a totally different set of faces you would have seen a few years ago, or even a couple of years ago. Only 4 of the original members remain. After Russ left, Dave Maulbeck was added and also served as the team's coach. Featherweight then experienced four more losses including Dave. Willy Appelman was added in late August of 2012, but left shortly after. In April, they welcomed veteran players Frank Bonomo, Matt Shafeek, and Lauren Ashley Smith. Matt and Frank were cast alongside each other on Megawatt team Skosh a few years ago. The two also played with Noel on Oswald prior to Featherweight's original casting. In addition, Matt and Elana had played together on Flea Flurkus, a 2007 team that performed the Evente. The most recent addition was that of Will Quinn this past August, who had been coached by both Elana and Frank. Collectively, Featherweight has over 50 years of improv experience loaded onto its current roster. Despite the new look and massive transformation (this is the first time in many years that Featherweight is an 8-person troupe), the feel and quality of the team remains the same as it has always been: "The Featherweight I watched is the same team I'm on now. It's the same energy." -Lauren Ashley Smith. It's a testament not only to the casting of the team, but the openness, support, and skill these players bring to the stage of why things have always worked out.
Featherweight, who warms up by hitting a ball up in the air with great effort to not let it hit the ground, improvises a free form, meaning they find the form as they go. "It comes off having a feel of a little town where the characters know each other and other characters branch out of that." – Will Quinn. Something Featherweight prides themselves on is having a great range with their shows. The spectrum they cover not only in their 25 minute set, but week to week, rivals most sets at the theater. When I asked Noel Dinneen what the most important quality an improviser should possess is, he responded: "The will to improvise, meaning the willingness to actually improvise as opposed to be married to a structure or game." Some shows might end up being slow mono-scenes and the next week everything blows up. Regardless of what their set calls for, each week Featherweight brings their flexibility, vulnerability, generosity of spirit, and "imperviousness to fear of judgment" (Justin Moran) to create their fun and their funny.
Frank Bonomo has a strong gift at bringing the humanity to Featherweight's shows. He lets characters be affected; he knows how each character he plays will react emotionally and is still so versatile in his play. He considers the small human moments.. Also, his object work is insane.
Noel Dinneen came to The Magnet to study with Armando. He considers his most influential instructors to be Mick Napier and Del Close. His team celebrates his fearlessness, range, and how he brings zero hesitation to his work. There is nothing Noel can't yes and. He's also got a pretty killer attitude.
Elana Fishbein came to The Magnet to study with Armando. She considers her most influential instructor to also be Armando Diaz. With a Featherweight set comes Elana's ability to play a spectacular and effortless range of strong, intricate, fully-formed characters. She is so specific and grounds the work. Featherweight feels that when Elana is playing, the show is in good hands.
Blake Merriman is described as being incredibly emotionally present. He really lets his characters be affected. He is a reliable player and also a great actor and is emotionally present really lets his characters be affected by what is happening.
Justin Moran came to The Magnet to study with Armando. He considers his most influential instructor James Eason. His team refers to him as an "information robot" who not only brings incredibly smart scene ideas, perfect lines, and smart appropriate punchlines to his work, but amazing characters you could never imagine be a part of the scene but work every single time.
Will Quinn came to The Magnet because of the opportunities the theater would provide. He considers his most influential instructor to be Peter McNerney. Will has a great understanding of game and heightening as well as adding finesse to Featherweight's sets. When Will plays, his joy as a player shines through. He brings to his characters a level of polish making things very clear and very full.
Matt Shafeek came to The Magnet to study with Armando. He considers his most influential instructor to be Michael Delaney. Featherweight describes Matt as a mature, confident, and joyful player. He's always thoughtful and takes his time when making choices as opposed to exercising "quick lazy play." He provides context and knows what a piece needs to create a successful scene.
Lauren Ashley Smith came to The Magnet because of its welcoming atmosphere, energy, and people. She considers her most influential instructor to be Armando Diaz. Her team pegged her as "a sniper" because of her sharp sense of humour, specific moves, and ability to bring to a scene exactly what is needed. Her mind is constantly exercising on how to heighten, instill more life, and bring things together.
Love 'Duck Dynasty'? How about 'Storage Wars'? 'Hoarders'?
You're not alone. And now you, along with millions upon millions of people, just might fall in love with A&E's new show, 'Think Tank'. Or not. Because it's not like those other shows at all.
We sat down in the Magnet Theater lobby with one of the show's actors, Ed Herbstman (The Mantzoukas Brothers), to get an inside scoop. It was a lively and wide-ranging conversation, and we hope you enjoy it.
Full Disclosure, Ed is one of the co-owners of Magnet Theater, and therefore we were very conscious of the appearance of a journalistic conflict of interest. In light of this possibility, we made every attempt to be even-handed and unbiased.
Magnet Theater: So. This show. What is it?
Ed Herbstman: Why do you ask that way? Are you mad at me?
MT: Oh, you're tough now because you're on a TV show?
EH: Wow. Do you hate me or something? You're really hostile. Is this part of the interview?
MT: Can't handle it Mr. I'm On a TV Show?
EH: First, it's not technically a TV show. It's a web series.
MT: You calling me a liar?!
EH: Your phone just fell off the desk because you're pounding it so hard.
MT: SHUT UP! I'll burn your house down!!
EH: Whoa, not okay. Calm down please.
MT: …burn it down… motherfu—
Magnet performer Amanda Xeller (The Flood) reached out to one of our performers currently abroad, Ross Taylor (The Wrath, Aquarius). Ross is performing full time on a Second City Cruise Ship. Amanda sent Ross our address and he sent us a lovely update from afar…
Dear Magnet,
Oh how I miss you—your faces and your energy and yes, even you bathroom!
Life at sea is fantastic! Being paid to perform comedy is a gift from Del, and there are so many
ancillary benefits as well.
It all starts with a week of training in Chicago, where the people at Second City treat you like a
real professional and make you feel like a part of the family. All your heroes are on the wall and
you play on the same stage they played upon and the feeling is probably akin to taking batting
practice in Yankee Stadium.
Life on the ship is like living in a luxury bubble, especially compared to the grit and struggle
that NYC requires—food is taken care of, alcohol is ridiculously cheap for crew, and everyone
knows who you are. The sketch shows are usually a packed house of a thousand and the material
works flawlessly. The improv is very different from what we're used to, of course, but a quick
reminder that it's providing my livelihood is all I need to sleep well at night. After the first crazy
week on board, rehearsals are few and all in all it's a pretty light workweek. The passengers are
mainstream America, likely trending a little older, so they aren't impressed by "improv moves"
but they are pretty good audiences if you give them jokes, which they consume like so much
Aside from work, I get a ton of downtime that I use at the gym, in the sun, reading, writing,
playing music, and hanging out with the rest of the cast and crew. The other performers are great
fun and the crew is pretty friendly. We port every few days and in the first four weeks I've gotten
to visit Bermuda, St. Thomas, St. John, Barbados, Caracao, Aruba and Mexico. I've zip-lined,
gambled, had beers in the ocean and gotten several layers of sunburn. I've chased an iguana and
grabbed a fish and got wifi in the middle of a pack of roosters.
Rooming with Bander is great—I'm somewhat shy at heart, so having a comrade throughout this
experience has made me feel comfortable very quickly. I couldn't ask for a better cast in that we
all like each other and work well together on and off stage. I'm only a month in, so it's possible
the turn into cynicism is just around the corner, but thus far I would call it a life-changing
experience and couldn't be happier to be here.
That said, I miss NYC and the Magnet terribly. The work we do is incomparable and I miss my
teams enormously. The world has a habit of spinning on without you, so I hope that everyone
still remembers me when I return and I look forward to coming home and resuming God's work
on that stage of ours. All my love to you Magnet—I'll see you in February!
Ross Taylor
The Wrath & Aquarius
On Tuesday, November 19th Magnet will host the first ever Musical Mustachewatt. The night will be the typical Musical Megawatt affair (with Jezebells, Aquarius, Wonderland, and Mint Condition) however throughout the night we'll be taking donations to go towards the Movember.
Movember is more than just a bad pun putting together November and Mustache. It is a month long movement where men grow mustaches to show support of men's health. Unfortunately, science has not found a way to turn mustaches into the cure for cancer. In the mean time we are raising money to go towards the Movember Foundation, the Live Strong foundation, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. For more information on what organizations are benefiting from Movember and how you can help out even more, check out the US Movember website.
Movember has grown into a friendly competition between men to see who can grow the best mustache and who can raise the most money. Everyone starts clean shaven on November 1st and does their best to grow a full "Burt Reynolds" and raise a ton of money.
We know it's hard to just throw your money at something. So in exchange for your donation towards men's health you can grab some delicious home made treats made by the Musical Megawatt performers! In the lobby there will be a bake sale! From tradtional sweets to mustache inspired munchies, you're donation will get you some serious goodies.
Come out and support musical improv comedy, men's health, and those poor souls who can barely grow even a "John Waters" above their lip. Shows at 7, 8 and 9pm. Bake sale all night long.
During November, Alex Marino directs the latest installment of The Director's Series, The Wake. Every Thursday night at 9pm, The Wake takes you on an adventure inspired by an obituary. I interviewed Alex via email to discuss The Wake and his inspiration behind the form.
What is The Wake and why did you choose this form?
The wake is a form I started thinking about when i was taking classes in LA. I was feeling kinda frustrated because we had been working on the invocation, which I found really interesting, but a lot of my classmates were really dismissive–they'd roll their eyes if they didn't think the suggestion was cool, they seemed a little bit mocking of improv itself. It was LA and they were just too cool for it. So I started trying to think of a way to approach the invocation that would force performers to at least have a little bit of respect for the suggestion… and I figured "what if you had to do an invocation of a person who had just died… in a room full of people who loved them." So it kinda stayed in my head gestating for a while. Then when Magnet first opened I was approached by a practice group, it was one of the first groups I'd coached in New York, and that was Louis Kornfeld, Megan Gray, Charlie Whitcroft, Jon Bander, Corey Grimes, and Kelly Buttermore. And after working with them for a little bit I asked if they'd like to experiment with this form I'd been thinking about and they were totally game. What we arrived at was a modified invocation of someone in that day's obituaries, inviting them to come into the theater and share their story before they go. I heard, and this may be apocryphal, that the practice of holding wakes came from a period in Ireland where they disinterred a lot of old graves and found scratch marks on the inside of the coffins. They realized that something like 1 in 10 people were being buried alive. So they decided to leave the dead out in for a period of time after they passed to give them one last chance to wake up. So the Wake seemed fitting as a name for the form. I kinda liked the notion that this show is one last chance for the dead to come back.
I chose it for this Director's Series because it had been a while since I'd seen it done and I wanted to work with the original cast again. A couple years ago I taught a class in The Wake, and those bozos have been asking me when they were gonna get to do it again, so I thought I'd invite them along too.
What do you find funny?
All kinds of stuff. Smart stuff, dumb stuff. Deep stuff, light stuff. Lots of things are funny. To me, the funniest thing to think about is that we're all just a huge biological accident that learned how to wear clothes and comb its hair. That shit is hilarious to me. We're a mostly bald, mostly flimsy, slow moving animal, with small, dull teeth and worthless claws. We can barely climb, we can't fly, or hold our breath very long. We have bad backs and lethal allergies to peanuts and shellfish–but not all of us, so you don't even know if someone is allergic until they just almost die. We eat and drink through the same hole we use to breathe and speak, and somehow we've survived long enough to figure out space travel, novelty t-shirts, iPhones and art that goes on your fingernails. It's incredibly funny to me just how we spend our time.
Do you find death funny?
Death is not funny, no, but everything around death is funnier because of it. Death is the ultimate straight man. I think to have laughter there needs to be a break in tension, which means there needs to be tension to begin with. The more the tension and the bigger the break, the more satisfying the laugh. The uneasiness people feel when they're faced with death is a great primer for laughter, and that kind of laughter makes it easier to live with death.
What is the future of improv?
I dunno. At some point enough people are going to complain loudly and correctly enough about not getting properly recognized and compensated for content they improvise for commercials and movies… so probably a union will come out of that. And you'll see "additional content improvised by" in the credits of films which will be good, but things will be weird… or maybe they wont. Maybe the improviser union will be chill. Eventually there will be an improvised show that is so undeniably good that it will get a run on Broadway. Eventually there will be an improvised show that wins a Tony. Some people will be upset by that… or maybe they wont. Maybe Broadway will have relaxed a bit by then. Someone is going to bring a true and honest, disinterested study of improvisation with all its techniques, history, and various applications to the university level, build a curriculum around it, and just like performance studies and jazz you'll be able to get a college degree in improvisation. I would like to think that degree in improv would be worth more than getting a degree in performance studies or jazz, but it probably won't be… and after four years, it definitely won't make anyone a better improviser than performing in every black box and bar that will let you… but, no matter how much actual experience you may have in the field, you'll need to have a degree in improv to be able to teach improv at the university level… So that will be a nice little scam.
The Wake plays every Thursday in November at 9pm. Make Reservations Here!

October was a wonderful month at Magnet! From a surprise Mike Myers show, to new ensembles, to Magnet performers in The NYTVF, a lot happened. To begin, Mike Myers dropped by for a special duo show with Magnet co-founder Ed Herbstman. After Jason Mantzoukas was unable to make the widely coveted Mantzoukas Brothers Show, the 3rd Mantzoukas Brother (Mike Myers) showed up to save the day. Herbstman and Myers had incredible chemistry, flawlessly weaving in and out of characters and scenes. Their show, just over an hour, was full of high energy sharp characters.
We had lots of new teams! Musical Megawatt (College, Wonderland), Megawatt (The Flood) and Magnet Sketch (Party., American Wormholes, Baby Shoes, Cash, The Misses) all had debuts this month! Congrats to the new players and be sure to check out these teams in November.
The 5th Annual NYMIF came and went with over 100 performers from as far as Toronoto and as close as Broadway!

Pool and billiards has been a Raytown tradition for nearly 70 years. Doug Brink of Raytown Recreation Pool and Billiards aims to continue that tradition. His family has run this pool hall since his father, Don, acquired it in 1970 and devoted the rest of his life to the game after a 20-year career at Bendix. To generate a little excitement, they're hosting a Nine-Ball Pool Tournament with a $20 buy-in. First prize is $120, second prize $75, third prize $40 and fourth place wins $25 which is $5 more than the buy-in. No professionals will be allowed for this tournament that will be held on either a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. There's still time to get in on the action.
If you've never played pool at Raytown's pool hall, it's time to get acquainted with the last of its kind in the Kansas City area. It's iconic neon sign at 10012 E. 63rd Street marks the entrance to the stairs that lead down to the basement of a building that used to be a general store built by Herman Rieder back in the day. It's the only building on the block with a basement. Norman Hussey bought the store and converted the basement into a pool hall in the Fifties. The concrete floors were always bare so Don added carpet for the comfort of his customers. He found an old warehouse in the West Bottoms of Kansas City where he bought ten 30-foot rolls of carpet at $10 each that came out of the former Alameda Plaza now the Intercontinental Hotel at Wornall and Ward Parkway. The oriental carpets are threadbare but they add character to the place.
You'll find nine pool tables surrounded by walls covered with photos and memorabilia, including fairly recent articles written by Donald Bradley of the KC Star about this historic pool hall and its 102 year-old Big Bertha. Next the Bertha, a five by ten foot pool table, sits the impressive Belgium-made heated Verhoeven billiards table. The Brinks would love to see more pool players take to billiards, a sport popular in Mexico and Europe, but faded from the American scene about fifty years ago when gents in suits and tuxedos played the game.
Dennis Reinecker comes in from Shawnee just to play billiards. "It's a game you can't learn to play in a day like pool," he says. There is no rack of balls or pockets in the table for what Doug calls a game of "geometry and motion." The cue ball must bounce off the cushion at least three times before hitting its target.
Raytown Recreation has a diverse following of customers from all walks of life. Robert Copeland, who has been playing there for 50 years says, "It's too late to quit." Donna Ries of Brookside, Julie Venable of Lee's Summit and Donna Adams of Raytown meet twice a week to play pool.
"We used to meet at Premier Bowl where they have only two tables so we decided to try this pool hall and we've been here ever since," explained Ries. In 1973, Ries placed second in the U.S. Open Straight Pool Championship with a final score of 75–72 in 42 innings against the 14 year-old prodigy, Jean Balukas, who beat five-time champion, Dorothy Wise, the year prior. Click for Sports Illustrated article, August 28, 1972
The younger generations have always gravitated to this pool hall where you can play pool all night. Yes, it stays open as long as you want to play. But while bars typically offer pool as an entertainment while they continue to serve you drinks, the strongest drink you'll find in this pool hall is black coffee.
Doug says, "People thank me for keeping their kids out of trouble. We have one autistic teenager whose mother gives him $20 to play pool every week because it's therapeutic for him." The going rate is $7.00 an hour for doubles and singles is $4.00.

I love the Jack Reacher series. Thanks for the heads up. I am off to my local library today.
This is a discussion on A New Jack Reacher Novel within the Defensive Books, Video & References forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Gone Tomorrow, A Reacher Novel, by Lee Child. 2009. 421 pages. Available from Amazon. Up til now, after 12 novels, I figured that the author ...
Gone Tomorrow, A Reacher Novel, by Lee Child. 2009. 421 pages. Available from Amazon.
Up til now, after 12 novels, I figured that the author had pretty much wrung out all the mileage he could get from the Jack Reacher character. No so. This, the 13th novel in the series, is hands down the best one yet.
Set in New York City, with side trips to Washington, D.C., the plot has many twists and turns but is easy to follow. The storyline involves an Al Qaeda terrorist cell, a secret Delta Force mission in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion, an upwardly mobile Congressman who led the mission and is now confronting a scandal, and stolen Pentagon files. The gun action is accurately portrayed, considering the author is a Brit, but it's obvious he's done his homework.
If you're a Jack Reacher fan, don't miss this one.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

I started reading the Jack Reacher stories when I got my Kindle 2. I am definitely a fan. I have so far read -Killing Floor- and Persuader- looking forward to reading the rest.
If anybody has a Kindle and is looking for a good read, look up --Beat the Reaper: A Novel--- by Josh Bazell
I love the Reacher novels.
BUT.....I've considered writing to the author and offering my services, free of charge, as a technical consultant regarding the role of US Army Military Police.....
Nahhhhh..........it sounds more interesting the way he writes it......
Yeah, Mac, Childs' MP units don't resemble any of the MP units I was ever assigned to.
In my day, CID Agents were Warrant Officers or enlisted men. Never heard of a Commissioned Officer being an accredited criminal investigator.
A CID detachment could be commanded by a Captain or a Major, but he wasn't an investigator.

I recently discovered the Reacher novels and am working my way through them now. I have read all but the last 3 so far.
They are great books but Lee Child does not do the best research in my opinion. In one book he writes about a character "snicking" the safety lever on his Glock to the fire position.
In another he speaks about a news microwave trucks "hydraulic" mast being raised. (The masts on news live trucks are pneumatic).
There are other examples, but those two stood out in my mind. I can over look these little flaws but they are annoying. But I still love the books!
I have read that one of the novels is to be made into a movie. Can you come up with ANY current actor who would do the Jack Reacher character justice? I can not think of a single one.

"One Shot" filmed in Pittsbutgh,Pa, the fall of 2011, and starring Tom Cruise.
I was SOOOOO excited when I first head that one of the "Jack Reacher" books was going to be made into a movie. OTOH, I felt insulted when I found out that Tom Cruise was going to be Jack Reacher. There's NOTHING about of Tom Cruise that is similar to the character of Jack Reacher. In addition, I'm not a big fan of Cruise. Now, I even question whether I'll even see the movie."One Shot" filmed in Pittsbutgh,Pa, the fall of 2011, and starring Tom Cruise.
I'll never understand why Hollywierd does some of the stuff they do. Then again, they're mostly liberals. But I digress.....
I love the Reacher books. Now I have to go get the new one.
Since the original post in 2009 several more Jack Reacher novels have come out. Here is the complete list.
Jack Reacher 01 - Killing Floor
Jack Reacher 02 - Die Trying
Jack Reacher 03 - Tripwire
Jack Reacher 04 - The Visitor (Running Blind)
Jack Reacher 05 - Echo Burning
Jack Reacher 06 - Without Fail
Jack Reacher 07 - Persuader
Jack Reacher 08 - The Enemy
Jack Reacher 09 - One Shot
Jack Reacher 10 - The Hard Way
Jack Reacher 11 - Bad Luck and Trouble
Jack Reacher 12 - Nothing to Lose
Jack Reacher 13 - Gone Tomorrow
Jack Reacher 14 - 61 Hours
Jack Reacher 15 - Worth Dying For
Jack Reacher 16 - The Affair
Jack Reacher 17 - A Wanted Man (2012)
I used to be a Lee Child fan even though he once had Reacher flipping the safety off on a Smith & Wesson .38 Special. As others have pointed out, the Army's CID in his books is almost insulting the way they are organized and work. I never saw any military police investigators work that well. Most were the typical "bull in a china shop" because the UCMJ empowered them to be so.
But in the last Reacher novel I read, Child took some cheap shots at gun owners, the NRA and NRA members and the Second Amendment in general. If the hypocrite had done that at the outset of his novels, his sales would never have reached the heights they did. I'd just as soon he'd made his feelings towards gun-owners known a lot earlier in his writing career before he started making so much money off of them only to stab us in the back.
All my Lee Child books went into the firepit on the back deck and I refuse to even consider buying another one of his books.
Author of Above Reproach, the new thriller that unequivocally positions the Second Amendment and concealed carry as our nation's most effective system of homeland and personal security.
But... I do not condone the burning of books, whether accurate or derisive towards guns and gun ownership. Whether they position 'the 2nd Amendment as ... most effective system of homeland security.'
You don't answer to me, obviously...
Regardless, I don't like book burning, and generally associate it with Nazism and Fascism. And I don't think that folks who burn books are themselves... ahem... above reproach.
It could be worse!
I suppose

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Training Our Puppy (basic) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/)
- - so embarrassed right now !!! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/481513-so-embarrassed-right-now.html)
so embarrassed right now !!!
Ok guys so I was in class(gsd training) and our trainer used nikko as an example of the dog that is not listining ..It was embarrassing because I tried to get him to obey me to the watch me comand and he kept pulling away,sniffing the grass and wonder around he was so distracted barking at other gsd pups :/ .I was so upset with him because at home he is honestly 100% obidiant.its so easy to train him at home than in class . I do take him to dog parks to get social with other dogs.but he was 50% obidiant this time ..and it sucks because I was looking at the other guys train there gsd pupps like nothing ..
Do any of you have a technique to make him less distracted and more focused out there in the streets/parks?
I cant say if im asking for to much because I know he is smart but I just need him to stay focuse with me out of the house and ill have a great dog . He is 3 1/2 months old
You have to train in environments with distractions. Your home is sterile, not much going on to draw his attention away from you so it's pretty easy. Try a location with a few distractions and gradually add in more as you progress.
I wouldn't worry about it. In time with consistent training he will get it even with distractions.
Kaleb did not like any of the long sit/down/stand stays. He was so loud and vocal about his not wanting to do it. The trainer even tried to get him to stop and Kaleb was not having it. He was 4 to 5 months old then. He's 14 months now and he stays just fine with no "talk back".
Leave it to our dogs to keep us humble, huh?
Don't be embarrassed, it happens to all of us. Relax, don't get frustrated, just enjoy him. Remember to play and have fun with him (that's the hardest part for me - I get so wrapped up in doing it right, I do everything wrong lol).
Try to find a bright side. 1) Nikko got to set an excellent example that the entire class can benefit from, and 2) When you've played with him this week and worked more with distractions, think of how much more impressive your training skills look when you go back in for your next class and he's so much more focused on you.
Oh! thought of a third one - you will learn more and gain much better experience dealing with difficulties than you would have if your dog started off easy. We learn more with challenges than with boring, simple stuff.
Omg hahah I'm so sorry, but the training class in the movie Marley and me comes to mind. ahem yes, I need to get back on track... I think one thing that would be helpful is desensitizing him. Try training him mostly outdoors around distractions, then one day you will take him to obedience class and it will be easy as pie for him, even with dogs and people and what not around.
Sometimes its just simple, you need to be more fun than the distraction at that age. Lots of enthusiasm! And have a super amazing high value treat for a distractions, such as a classroom setting. That is a lot of distraction!
Different levels of distraction, means different level of treats and enthusiasm. You have to work up to such distraction too! :)
Next week it will be another dog! If you are outside, that's really a rough spot because it is so interesting to a puppy that is smart.
The three D?s of dog training and why you need to know about them | Dog Star Daily
You can work on down stays of increasing length, and other protocols to help him work on his focus, but have fun with him!
Outdoors is highly distracting, that's pretty normal. I agree, find a higher value treat, maybe a toy to train with for class?
He'll get there. My GSD was a punk in her class. Learned the obedience easily, but I'd look over after watching the instructor demonstrate our next lesson and she'd be rolled on her back looking at me upside down or whatever, like she was totally bored with class. lol
My gsd had me so embarrassed after every class I usually cried all the way home. It was that bad-HE was that bad. Did yours decide to poop in the middle of the inside training area in front of god and everybody???? If not, you don't know embarrassment:blush:
The bad news is as they grow up they do a whole lot of things that make you want to pull the covers over your head.
The good news is they do grow up to be your best friend and a well behaved adult.
You just have to suck it up until then :D
I would just add.... don't be mad at him... that can have negative consequences that take you back several steps. Get advice from your trainer on how to TRAIN a "watch me" command and train it over and over and over. Some dogs take more work for you to be more exciting than other dogs and the environment. You also don't say how old this dog is. Young dogs will get distracted. Laugh about it and then be as consistent as you can in your training. Keep in mind that dog parks sometimes reinforce that other dogs are more interesting and fun than you are so you reinforce the distractibility.
It only gets better with your effort. Enjoy the crazy puppy time.

That's Progress
July 6th, 2011
There has been much giddiness in the Bravissimo office lately. The biggest boy band in history are touring once again and the ladies who saw them first time around (when they were still at school), are seeing them again and are even more excited at the prospect, if that is at all possible. Every so often on Twitter or Facebook, someone will write "I am so excited, only X amount of hours and counting til Take That!" There is something about those boys that makes them universally loved. A couple of them in the past may have looked like they were going to damage their reputation, but they seem to bounce back monumentally. Maybe, apart from the brilliant music they keep churning out, it is their 'down to earth' nature. We all have the feeling, that if we were to bump into any of the Take That boys in a lift, they would be friendly, funny and lacking any ego (apart from Robbie), and obviously they are all just a tad handsome too.
Unbelievably, there are still some tickets available for the next three days at Wembley. If you have missed out on tickets and can go last minute, check out Take That's official website. And for a few show-stopping tops to wear if you are going, check out Pepperberry, we have some gorgeous embellished and sparkly tops that will stand out in the crowds. The Shoulder Detail Top is a slinky cowl neck and comes in curvy/really curvy and really/super curvy. The lovely soft taupe which is very on trend, will look great with white jeans and nude heels. The Side Embellished Jersey Top in black, is a wrap-over style top in a figure hugging stretch fabric, it is a deep v, so a plunge bra will be necessary with this one. Wear with an indigo pair of skinny jeans and some rock chick black suede wedges and you are all set for your greatest day…

Google called it "radio without rules," where the music streaming service exists solely as a subscription product. Google users can still upload and store up to 20,000 of their own songs and stream the content to their device, but Google Play Music All Access takes your music library beyond the norm.
Users that sign up before June 30th can get unlimited access to Google's entire music catalog for only $7.99 per month following a 30-day free trial. After that, the service is $9.99 per month which is in line with other subscription services like Pandora, Spotify or Slacker Premium. In addition to music that customers upload into their own "locker" (read as: cloud), All Access lets you set up your own radio stations, build playlists that use any combination of content (yours in the locker or Google's inventory), and of course you get unlimited skips as well as recommendations from Google's proven ability to figure out what you like.
The "explore" feature looks like a cool way to discover all sorts of new music, as Google employees and others build playlists which you can enjoy. The "listen now" feature is a "right now" type of solution where you launch the app and pick selection which basically starts a spontaneous mix of music.
Throughout any of the options, you can view the playlist as it is set up and make real time adjustments, such as changing the order of songs or kicking songs off the list altogether with a simple gesture. Google has put together a feature rich service that should cater to all interests and has priced it well for early adopters. How about it? Are you signing up?

With Everton dropping two points at Old Trafford this afternoon it means that Everton cannot now catch Newcastle.
Alex Ferguson today – looks like Red Devils didn't do very well
Everton twice came back from two goals deficits to draw with Manchester United 4-4, and the Red Devils dropped two vital home points, that could even cost them the Premier League title this season.
Manchester City tweaked a 2-0 win at Wolves, but were hardly very convincing, as Wolves were relegated, but they are now just 3 points behind Manchester United and have gained 5 points on them in the last three league games.
In 10 games the new Wolves manager Terry Connor has been in charge, he has picked up points only at Sunderland and Newcastle, and has eight losses and only two points.
The Manchester teams play each other a week tomorrow at the Etihad Stadium, and a City win to go with the 6-1 thrashing of United last year, will see them take over leadership of the Premier League on goal difference.
With Everton's well earned draw today, they are on 48 points but are now a full 14 points behind Newcastle, who have 62 points in 4th place, with just four games to go.
And that means that Newcastle will at least finish in 6th place in the league and will definitely get a Europa League position.
And even if Manchester City beat Manchester United in eight days time, their next game will be at St. James' Park against Newcastle United on the following Sunday, 6th May.
And the expensive and overpaid Manchester City players will need to play a lot better than they did today at Wolves, to get anything out of a resurgent Newcastle side.
It will also be Newcastle's final home game of the season, and they will want to do extra well in that final game, so they can then take the plaudits from the Geordie fans after the match, for what has been an absolutely amazingly successful season.
So as well as Newcastle potentially qualifying for a Champions League for next season, the Magpies could also determine who becomes the Premier League Champions this season.
We have a feeling that Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini isn't exactly looking forward to bringing his team to St. James' Park in two weeks time.
And one last thing, Liverpool managed to lose 1-0 at home to West Brom today, and those expensive strikers again failed to score, and it could be Liverpool's American owners bring in a new manager over the summer, and move Kenny Dalglish upstairs.
Howay The Lads!!

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- The Campfire (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/campfire/)
- - Busted this morning! (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/campfire/4771-busted-morning.html)
Busted this morning!
I got busted this morning about ten feet away from getting in my stand. It was an hour before light and still very dark. I was almost there and the deer stomped and blew, then off to the races for a short way. My question is what should I have done? I left the area and hunted a different area instead. Should I have stayed?
I would have stayed.
Should have stayed. That same buck may very well have come back, not to mention that, most likely, there were more deer moving in the area that weren't close enough at the tme to know you were there.
Did it blow once or more?
go ahead and tell us why you ask wmi. might be a tid-bit some don't know.
He only blew once coupled with an aggressive stomp.
The answer is the deer heard you but did not see you or smell you. The stomp was for you to identify yourself and the single blow was an alarm for POSSIBLE danger. If the deer had actually seen you and smelled you it would have kept blowing into the next county. You should have stayed because the deer would have returned in an hour or so to try to identify the intrusion. Sometimes you can answer the stomp with a blow or couple of contact grunts and the deer will many times just wander away quietly. Also raking your feet in the leaves with and light bleat or two will put them at ease. The main thing it should tell you is either you were not getting in early enough or it is a feeding area at time of morning so a change to afternoon hunting there or change your access route to that stand. As long as you don't make that mistake again at that location you should be OK.
awsome info. thanks for that post WMI

Your 1 Thing for Today: Monday, Jan 22
Mon Jan 22 2007
The new catchphrase around the office seems to be "And that's why you're single!" Sometimes people add their own spin to it by substituting So for And, or even just leaving the first word off entirely. I should add that by new catchphrase I mean thing which people think it's hilarious to say to me, exclusively, which strangely leaves me speechless, which is weird since if you know me you know that I AM NEVER SPEECHLESS. [Go for it, say it here.]
Anyway, with this in mind I am hesitant to brag about my ability to blow spit bubbles off the end of my tongue with my own saliva, but the thing is, it's phenomenal. I mean, I can raise my eyebrows one at a time. I can play Skee-ball. I have a word-for-word memory for conversations when I'm not drunk. I can spot a nose job a mile off. But the spit bubble thing, while arguably disgusting, is truly special.
Not nearly as special as the giant bubbles Fan Yang blows in his unbubblelievable (this is not my own word, btw) show, The Gazillion Bubble Show. The man does things with bubbles which have never been done before. He holds Guinness book records for bubble blowing and it pains me to say I'm not making that up. Seriously. Go for the bubbles, stay for the bubbles. Also, go for the fact that you may be the tallest person there since it's sort of for kids but you have height issues anyway.

United Continental Gets Boost
Shares in United Continental Holdings Inc. surged Friday after the carrier said a key measure of revenue improved significantly last month.
United, the world's largest airline by traffic, reported late Thursday that its passenger unit revenue—a closely watched measure of how much revenue is taken in for each passenger flown a mile—increased in February by an estimated 6.5% to 7.5% from the same month last year.

POSH shop Harvey Nichols has been blasted for selling REINDEER pâté as a
Christmas treat.
Labels on the £15 tins boast that the meat comes from a "farm-raised relative
of Rudolph".
But animal rights group Viva! accused the department store of trying to make a
quick buck.
Campaigns manager Justin Kerswell said: "Harvey Nichols may be mostly full of
festive cheer, but that doesn't extend to Santa's traditional animal helpers.
"What kind of sicko would relish cracking open a tin of reindeer pâté come
Christmas Day? And what kind of store would think it appropriate to sell it?
"We are calling on them to withdraw sales of reindeer pâté and for all
consumers to have a cruelty-free veggie Christmas."
The 190g tins, made by London company Edible, say the pâté comes from
"selected cuts of reindeer, seasoned with cognac and spices". It is
described as an "Arctic delicacy and indulgent Christmas treat".
No one from Harvey Nicks or Edible was available to comment. Edible's website
says: "Our raw ingredients are either sustainably farmed or collected from
monitored sources."
Lidl was attacked last year for selling reindeer steaks. In 2008, Ikea was
under fire for flogging the meat in an exotic salami.

no heat for me
yep, i been bit, the furnace quit.
it is a TAPPAN, but it says NORDYNE on the inside, 2004.
the LED stays on (iirc it has always been on). the exhaust fan runs. after about 2+ second the LED flashes 2 times = pressure switch is open with inducer on.
the switch in pic 2. i turned that a few times. that got the HSI to fire. but after about 10 sec's it shut off and the LED flashed 2 times again.
please advice. i have a disabled person in this house.
ok. i got it working. but not totally fixed. its the pressure switch. yes, i checked the tube and chimney. inducer always worked.
i disconnected the wires from it. turned the furnace on = inducer starts blowing, THEN jump the PS wires. then the furnace operates.
after the furnace shuts off, i HAVE TO disconnect the jumper =otherwise the furnace will not work.
now, i have to find a PS locally.
this is what did it for me
Congrats, and glad to hear that you got it figured out! Winter is no time to be without a furnace, particularly with a disabled person in the house, and not that I would be sure enough to have offered any advice, but I did get a good chuckle out of your internet age version of talking to yourself! It can sometimes be entertaining watching someone talk themself through a problem, and I'm sure that others have been similarly entertained by me more than a few times, but seeing in on the 'net caused me to, well, again, chuckle. Stay warm!
yeah, that is kinda funny.
i have found the part $45 and 1 hour away :(. i am trying to find it closer. what a PITA.
ya know what is strange. the switch seemed to be working = i sucked through the hose, and could hear is clicking. ya know what, i'm going to check the port on the inducer. though i did blow through it.
took the inducer off, it looked clean. stuck a paper clip through the whole, seemed to be clean. cage is clean. put back on.
took the pressure switch off. blew through hose real hard this time. worked switch with my mouth. reinstalled.
its working fine now. so far.
only thing i can think of, is the contacts. they looked ok. but i have fixed many electronics just by unpluging and repluging connections inside several times. seems they get unseen corrosion on them.
i couldn't find a concrete reason why it wasn't working. i checked all i knew to check :
i disconnected the flue, so it not the chimney.
inducer always blew.
switch always clicked. though it could still be bad contacts inside it, time will tell.
hose & port free.
getting a signal.
what else is there ?
ohm out the pressure swtich contacts close contaxts see it theres continuity ,,, itll tell you alot.. let us know
its the connections. it acted up 2 times after i logged off. i just wiggle the connections a little and it started working again. so i replugged them a bunch of times. crossing fingers. but at least i know what it is.
its still working fine. i am going to clean and grease all of the contacts i can find.
just close the spades a bit tighter with your pliers, make them grab a bit better.

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
You just answered my question regarding part-time employee pregnancy legalities. And mentioned leave of absence. What is a legal leave of absence in the area of a pregnant employee?
Thank you for clarifying. I am most certainly aware of your other question but I just didn't know exactly what you are asking. My apologiesAs I noted in my other answer, no legislative act specifically mandates employers with less than 5 employees to provide protected leave to pregnant workers. However, as the California Constitution prohibits discrimination or preferential treatment on the basis of gender, which arguably encompasses pregnancy, you want to make sure you don't treat a pregnant employee any different than you would any other employee who needed to miss work for a medical condition. In general, this means providing a "reasonable accommodation" for the pregnancy.There is no strict definition for what this means, as "reasonable" accommodations hinge entirely on the unique circumstances of the business and employment. In general, a reasonable accommodation is anything that does not impose undue hardship or expense. That too is a bit vague, but at least provides some basic instruction. If you can get by for 3-4 weeks without this pregnant employee working and that does not significantly impact your business, then you would be well advised to permit that time off so as to mitgate the posisibility of a discrimination charge pursuant to Article I, § 8. However, once you can argue that permitting additional time off would result in undue hardship, for whatever reason, your obligations to accommodate this pregnant employee extinguish.That is the extent to which you are require to permit a leave of absence. Of course, this leave of absence need not be paid.Please let me know if I can provide futher clarification.
Therefore, you would advise to give this person time off, get by 3-4 weeks. Then, if I can argue it is due hardship on our company to extend more time I could extinguish employment.
Then, do I offer a leave of absence? And for what duration to the employee?
Does her short time working here make a difference?

The Left, even the Obama Administration, has vilified Fox News as an extreme right wing shill; they see Fox as dedicated to their destruction. Until recently the better understanding of Fox is that of a brilliant business plan to tap an unserved niche in the news marketplace. While obvious to anyone who lives in a town smaller than a million people, prior to Fox nobody was providing news without a strong leftward bent. Fox stepped in like a blast of fresh air and eventually dominated the cable news marketplace. The real ideologues were MSNBC and CNN, who held to competing only for left leaning viewers, and who left an untouched market for Fox. Fox was just a smart business, delivering opinions and reporting that its viewers found comforting. That is until Fox's latest round of programming that challenges the traditional conservative mind – Fox is now a force for positive libertarian change, and its success is both unprecedented and thrilling.
The pinnacle of the old Fox conservative programming was the O'Reilly Factor, which shoveled sometimes conservative and often populist tripe to millions. Bill O'Reilly is a master of self-aggrandizement, claiming to look out for "the people" and being the only line of defense against all sorts of overblown threats. O'Reilly is clearly in it for himself, as his positions are merely a weathervane to the populist shibboleths of the hour. O'Reilly rarely moves the debate, he only fans the flames.
Likewise Fox's other popular conservative, Sean Hannity, is a political tactician. While sometimes insightful, Hannity merely reads polls and dishes on left wing misdeeds. Considering the recent GOP reign of corruption, Hannity's sneering rings hollow to all but the most hardened partisans. While the so called politics of destruction are practiced on all sides, Hannity is nonetheless engaged in fruitless trench warfare.
Fox was amusing and refreshing, but it offered nothing new. Stoking the GOP vs. Dem brushfire does nothing to solve the Washington train wreck. GOP vs. Dem does not solve Social Security, Medicare, pork, overregulation, or any other Washington corruption. Sure the GOP is better on some of these issues, but by not nearly enough to make a meaningful difference. By placating its base and limiting itself to tactical raids on its enemies, Fox remained part of the long term political problem.
Over the past two years Fox has introduced a new slate of game changers: Glenn Beck, John Stossel, and Andrew Napolitano (honorable mention to Greg Gutfeld). These men (honorable mention to Greg Gutfeld) are true libertarians who are not pushing a partisan agenda, but are working to change perceptions within the center-right.
Beck uses chalk boards and tears to preach the libertarian mantra of personal responsibility placed ahead of government interference. Stossel hammers away at government impediments to prosperity, innovation, and growth. Napolitano exposes extra-constitutional incursions into individual rights. Gutfeld uses an hour in the middle of the night to deflate leftist pop culture conceits; he is the libertarian mirror image of John Stewart, except funny. No sensible programmer would expect these ponderous topics to drive Fox's ratings to the top, but they have. Contrary to all conventional wisdom, Fox is advocating for long moribund libertarian ideals and winning.
The masses of the center-right have always been skeptical of big government but have been forced to choose the smaller of two big government policies. Fox understood the message of the Tea Parties before any other news outlet, and it has tapped into this common angst with its new libertarian programming. Rather than agitate and make tactical incursions against the left, the new Fox is moving ideas sharply toward the libertarian. Fox is by far the most powerful outlet for these ideas since the old time media was first taken over by the left. No doubt Fox does it for ratings, but the result is the same – libertarianism is on the rise with a powerful mass media wind at its back.

B.J. Novak Has Some Stories (and More Stories)
You may know comedian, TV writer, and actor B.J. Novak as Ryan on TV's The Office. But he's also behind a new collection of funny, and surprisingly dark short stories called One More Thing: Stories and More Stories.
Novak turned little notebooks full of misfit ideas into a book of short stories, a form he thinks is more personal and revealing than a memoir.
This story originally appeared on the CBC Program Q with Jian Ghomeshi.

Barbecue-Glazed Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers are a popular lunch at Gwyneth Paltrow's house, where she serves them on toasted brioche buns. She usually adds a topping or two, like Swiss cheese and a few pickled jalapeños. Jarred barbecue sauce adds a ton of flavor to the burgers and helps keep them from drying out. Paltrow got that tip from her friend Lee Gross, a macrobiotic chef who is obviously not averse to the occasional burger.
Slideshow:More Great Burgers
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet-smoky jarred barbecue sauce
- Canola oil, for brushing
- 4 brioche buns, split and toasted
- Pickled jalapeño slices, Swiss cheese slices and pickle chips, for serving
How to make this recipe
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a bowl, season the turkey with salt and pepper and gently knead in 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Shape the meat into four 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Brush with oil and grill over moderate heat, turning once, until nearly cooked through, 7 minutes. Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and cook for 1 minute longer, until cooked through and lightly glazed. Transfer the burgers to the buns and top with pickled jalapeños, Swiss cheese and pickle chips and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Juicy, California red blend.

North Sea oil companies, the television industry and other sectors expressed dismay at the scale of the additional taxes. Even the seemingly innocuous lifting of duty on alcopops will have a major effect, hitting the drinks industry for £170m next year. 'Is it a Budget for enterprise? No it's not,' said Ian Fletcher of the British Chambers of Commerce.
Among the biggest casualties of the NI rise is British Telecom, which is thought to be budgeting to pay £20m to £25m more in NI, while the biggest banks will also be clobbered. Royal Bank of Scotland is likely to see a £20m addition to its NI bill. About 90,000 of its 99,000 employees are UK-based and its payroll costs last year were £3bn. Barclays bank is facing a similar tax rise, while Lloyds TSB is looking at an additional £13m, according to industry estimates.
The big supermarkets groups are major casualties, although the £4,615 earnings threshold, below which no NI is paid, limits the damage because of the thousands of low-paid and part-time workers they employ. Tesco, which employs 185,000 people in Britain and paid a total wages bill of £1.83bn last year, is estimated to be facing a £15m NI bill increase.
'It's a tax on employment and it will particularly hit companies like Tesco,' said spokesman Greg Sage. 'We're creating 9,000 jobs this year. It's going to be a big cost for us.' Sainsbury's, with 140,000 UK employees, is likely to be another major casualty, paying an estimated £12m more. Its total wages bill last year was £1.63bn.
The Treasury estimates that the extra NI will cost employers £3.9bn next year and £4.1bn the year after. It has raised employers' NI from 11.8% to 12.8% of employment costs above the threshold from next April.Reuse content

New Favorite!This is a great flavor, I was hooked on the chocolate, but I think this is my new favorite.
nice flavorGood mix of chocolate & peppermint, not too minty
Just rightNot too sweet but sweet enough. Light chocolate taste, peppermint not too strong with great vapor! They hit the perfect balance with this one. Highly recommended!
Perfect after dinner desert flavorThis one is perfect for after a nice meal. The flavors aren't overpowered, it's light and chocolaty with a bit of mint on the back end.
This one is going to be one of my top 5.
I just wish it had a slightly stronger choco+mint flavor.
Peppermint Patty 11mgThis the best, great flavor awesome vapor

Custom models in this bundle
Half-Timbered Shops
This LEGO model of a historic "half-timbered" or "tudor" style building contains two small shops on the lower floor and two living spaces on the upper floor. The instructions cover both modern and medieval interiors, so you can build which ever fits your fancy, modern City or medieval Castle. As always, the roof and upper floor lift off for access, and the model features complete interior details.
A cute little cottage or cabin for your LEGO town, this building sits on a 5" square baseplate and features a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathing area all packed neatly inside. This is the perfect model for those small corners or areas on the edge of your city.
Shopping Mall
LEGO cities are often rather lopsided from a town planning point of view, with plenty of fire and police coverage, but nowhere for the inhabitants to live, work or shop! Here's a solution for the shopping problem, at least - a streetside mall with four stores (a hardware store, pet store, dentist and sandwich bar), off-street parking and landscaping. It even includes a LEGO car.
Red & White Facade
This building facade is one of a series, intended to be used as part of a backgrop to a city or train layout. It's only 4 studs deep from front to back, so it takes up very little space but gives you a lot of character at the back of your street or behind a rail line. It would be easy to make variations on this and the other facade models to give you a wider backdrop area.
Tan Facade
Another facade, this time using tan bricks and special sculptural lion-head pieces at the top of the columns between the windows.
Light Grey Facade
This facade is based on a still-standing building in Vancouver, BC's Chinatown area. The arcade in front make a nice shelter from the rain as your minifigs browse the displays in the store windows fronting on the street.
This is the vehicle for the minifig soccer moms to carry their offspring to and from games, school, band practice, birthday parties, the mall, and all the other social activities that make up teenage minifig life.
This fountain was the very first Lions Gate Models kit, back in Feb of 2000. It's small and simple but makes a great decorative centerpiece for a city square, park, or even a private garden.
