Small Business Battles Bud Light After Local Brewery Bill Fails
Spuds MacKenzie cries.
Small businesses like Ziggy's Bar & Grill and Kata Robata have scratched Bud Light from their menus and have spread the word through social media, as response to HB 602's recent death at the hands of Anheuser-Busch.
"We have '86 Bud Light' written on the door and people who got that, got it and it was hilarious," Ziggy's General Manager Taushah Crawford said.
The restaurants began the boycott when HB 602 died in the legislature. HB 602 would have allowed breweries to charge an admission fee to any visitor wishing to take a tour. The bill would have also allowed breweries to either gift or sell their craft beer to visitors. The provisions of the bill would have allowed Texas breweries to operate like wineries.
Anheuser-Busch intervened to stop the passage of the bill in the eleventh hour.

"[HB 602] has tried to go through a few times under different names and it probably would have gone through this time," Kata Robata
owner general manager Josh Martinez said. "[Anheuser-Busch] has nothing to lose or to gain from it."
While the restaurants' actions resemble a boycott, Ziggy's owner Kevin Strickland shies away from that label. Strickland instead stands by the mantra of small business solidarity.
Ziggy's and Kata Robata have also spread awareness through Twitter, which has been instrumental to small business in Houston. Instead of actively enlisting participants, they hope other restaurants and small businesses will choose to stand beside them.
"What's really nice about social media, particularly something like Twitter, is it gives a small business owner the ability to have a voice and maybe level the playing field a little bit," Strickland said.
Strickland also credits social media for strengthening the ties in Houston's local business community.
Texas House Representative Jessica Farrar authored HB 602. Local Breweries like Southern Star, Real Ale and Saint Arnold would have been able to reap those benefits.
Strickland held a rally to support HB 602 and craft beer in March 2011. A hundred people attended, including Farrar.
Strickland said Anheuser-Busch will eventually alienate small business through their actions and accelerate the removal of Anheuser-Busch products from other menus.
"Anheuser-Busch may have won this battle, but they're probably losing the war," Strickland said.
Refusing to sell Bud Light has not hurt sales for either restaurant. Craft beer accounts for a third of alcohol sales and 5 percent of total sales at Ziggy's. Bud Light usually ranks near the bottom of Ziggy's beer sales. Strickland credits the greater interest in craft beer to the decline in Anheuser-Busch products. Solidarity will help itself in the end.
"No one cares about Bud Light," Strickland said.
While Martinez has not named a replacement beer, Strickland will replace Bud Light with another craft beer, Silver Light.

HBO just released another short clip for the upcoming season! In this clip, Pam tells Sookie that "You either need to be somebody, or you're going to be nobody," with her trademark snarkiness. What could that mean?? Meanwhile, Eric demands "everything" from Sookie and vampires find out that witches can control the dead...which means they can control the undead! Talk about double trouble!
Watch the clip below and tell us how excited you are!

Since I am among those who love nuts in their chocolate, especially the dark cocoa variety, I thoroughly enjoyed making it and eating it as well. However since the lil fellow hates nuts in his chocolate and the husband hates chocolates in general and the tiny baby is yet to taste chocolate I gladly ate everyone's share.
Now that V Day is just around the corner, it is definitely one of the goodies you can make for that special someone! When refrigerated it lasts for several days (if you can resist eating them!) - so you can make it in advance and serve whenever you please. The longer you refrigerate them, the longer they take to melt at room temperature - just in case you are worried about making handmade chocolate that usually melts in no time. So there, usher in a fun filled, romantic month of February with these babies!
About this dish
The good thing about this fudge is that it can taste exactly the way you want it to - just use your favourite brand of bitter sweet/dark chocolate and you have the satisfaction of having created a yummy chocolate fudge in the comfort of your home. Personally I prefer to use bitter chocolate that has at least 70% of cocoa. This is because you need to add condensed milk that will balance out the extra bitterness and lend the fudge just the right amount of sweetness. You may add an assortment of nuts if you wish, however, pistachios taste just as great.
- 175gms dark chocolate roughly chopped (or use bittersweet chocolate chips)
- 200gms sweetened condensed milk (I used Milkmaid)
- 15 gms unsalted butter
- 75 grams unsalted shelled pistachios roughly chopped
- pinch of salt

Most Helpful Girl
Only tell them something like this if they ask, "Where do you see yourself in 2 years" or "what goals do you have?" because employers actually will ask this to gauge what kind of ambition you have, and they DO want to see that you have ambition rather than say you intend to live out your life in their entry-level job. Otherwise, if nothing is asked, no need to tell them. First of all because it's your business to know right now, and secondly two years is a long time away.
Now if you're applying for a job where they expect more than a two year commitment, they likely will ask this, and it would be a good idea to tell them. So this means if they are going to train you with pay and continue training you with pay down the road. If you have some contractual obligation, you'll have to pay it back if you leave.
I have no idea where you're apply to work, but if it's just a regular job in retail, food, reception/admin work, then most people don't even last in those jobs more than six months. So I think you're fine to keep it to yourself, and truthfully let them know what your ambitions are only if asked.00|00|0

Young adults: Teen reflects on her experience at TEC retreat
By Mariafer Gutierrez
Guest Columnist
Dying is a very joyous part of life that I had never encountered. By dying, I am referring to the fact that we must die from our sins in order to lead the life God has planned for us. I am a very active Catholic. I was born into this faith and I had never heard the phrase, "We must die every day."
Then I attended a life changing retreat. I was dead before TEC (Together Encountering Christ). I was broken, beaten and unholy. I did not want to attend TEC. I wanted to stay home and hang out with friends, rest and finish homework. Yet, something inside me pushed me to register. Little did I know, it was the burning desire I had within me for God.
As I walked into the unknown retreat center, smiling faces surrounding me, as I sat down at an empty chair, I didn't know what to expect from TEC. I only knew one other girl there and she wasn't put into my group. I was lonely and afraid. As soon as everything settled down around me, our leader read a verse from the Bible: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit." (Jn 12: 24-26).
This verse explains how I must die from my sins and renew my soul in order to live and walk in the footsteps of Christ. The grain of wheat falls to the ground, rots and dies. Once the grain has died, it can then bear the fruit. I am a grain of wheat. I am a single grain who must fall to the ground and die to bear my fruit. I must die from what is holding me back from leading a good, holy life.
The retreat experience opened my eyes and my heart to a whole new life I have ahead of me. It taught me that letting go is hard, but with God we can accomplish anything. God is always beside me leading me into his light and love. During the retreat, my eyes were opened to the life that God has planned for me.
Nothing could have been more encouraging than being united with fellow teenagers through God. I had always believed I was in control of my own life, but I was wrong. It has always been God who is in control. Having participated in this amazing retreat, I now know how to live my life according to the will of God.
I also fully understand that TEC was an event God had always intended for me. He heard my yearning for him and he led me to it. My TEC family is large, exciting and full of many different people who touched my heart. Now I see that we all have an inner need for God and he wants us to want him. I thank God every day for the wonderful people he blessed me with at TEC to help me lead a holy life, as a single grain of wheat.
The next TEC Retreat will be held Jan. 16-18 at Eagle's Wings Retreat Center in Burnet. The retreat is specifically designed for juniors in high school to young adults in their 20s and is focused on the Paschal Mystery of Christ. The cost for the weekend is $100 and includes two nights, meals and supplies. For more information, contact Jennifer Kodysz at (512) 949-2467 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Riverdale is a large, thriving neighbourhood in Toronto's east end which is bounded by Danforth Avenue to the North, Jones Avenue and Leslieville to the east, Lake Shore Blvd to the South and the Don River Valley to the West.
The neighbourhood is made up of mainly 19th Century Victorian and Edwardian homes that were constructed as boarding rooms for working people. Since then many of these buildings have been redeveloped into homes for young families.
This is a very vibrant and multicultural area. Danforth Avenue, commonly known as "The Danforth", is highly concentrated with Greek restaurants. Further South along Broadview Avenue at Gerrard Street is Toronto's second Chinatown where Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants and stores dominate the area. There are three large recreational parks within Riverdale; Withrow Park, Riverdale Park and Jimmie Simpson Park – all of which serve as great places for residents when it comes to various activities such as swimming in the warmer months and tobogganing in winter.

A Woman's Guide to Surgical Options in the New Millennium: A Gentler Approach
by Udo Wahn, MD
Review by Linda Starr-Seaman
Winter 2005 - Volume 9 Number 1
Dr Udo Wahn, a gynecologist with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group in San Diego, has written a small, remarkably informative book about--and for--women who may be facing problems, the solution to which might involve gynecologic surgery. This book follows on the heels of his and Dr B Bekkar's successful, earlier book, Your Guy's Guide to Gynecology,1 reviewed in the Summer 2000 issue of The Permanente Journal.2 Dr Wahn's objective with his new book is to provide and explain various options that are available for women who seek understanding and guidance about what they can do when the usual answers or choices have failed to solve the problem. With sensitivity and wit, Dr Wahn speaks directly to women about their innermost worries. His lighthearted manner and clarity of expression should certainly help reduce a woman's fears and enable her to achieve a more realistic perspective.
The Permanente Journal is celebrating it's 20th anniversary year. We look forward to continuing to bring you more high-quality content during the next 20 years.
The Permanente Journal (ISSN 1552-5767) is published quarterly by The Permanente Press. Journal subscriptions are entered for the calendar year. Advance payment in US dollars is required.
25,000 print readers per quarter, 7,628 eTOC readers, and in 2016, 1.4 million page views on TPJ articles in PubMed from a broad international readership.

We are looking to purchase several used HP laser jet 4000 series printers.
we have a few HP 4000 printers now and have had very little issues. Our printers from other vendors (dell) have jams almost every day, been through warranty exchanges, we just want a reliable printer.
where is a good place to buy these printers?
used, new, refurbished, etc?

Jan 9, 2012 at 2:03 UTC
Wow, you're looking to purchase a printer that is 12-15 years old?
I'm afraid that purchasing something that old will be no different than purchasing other newer printers that you've had issues with.
Myself? I lean toward the Brother HL-21x0 series laser printers. They are inexpensive and pretty durable (in my experience).
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:04 UTC
They were tanks tho. I just retired a 5MP. :)
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:09 UTC
Our maintenance department still has a Laserjet 4plus.
Can you say PC Load Letter...
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:13 UTC
Yeah, those 4000 series machines were absolute beasts. Rarely, if ever, had problems with them.
Unfortunately, they just don't make them like they used to.
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:18 UTC
I agree they don't make them like they use too. Which is why we are searching for them. we found a few about 2 years ago, should have picked up way more....
no one have any ideas where to get one?
I already checked ebay, but not sure we should purchase from there.

And that's just it - - no first-tier resellers will likely have these in stock, and when you purchase them, it will likely be on a "no warranty/guarantee" basis. Very few people will want them, so very few companies will stock them.
I would probably look at some of the Ebay sellers, check their feedback rating (specifically when there are problems, how did they respond to neg feedback) and contact them/prior buyers - if you can still do that.
You may find a good vendor there somewhere, but you will have little to no support if something goes wrong unless the vendor is really good and they don't charge out the youknowwhat for extended coverage.

Those guys seem like a good bet. Good find, Denis...!
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:33 UTC
If you are going the route of the older printer, I can say that support should be easy to get. These are base units and parts are always available, even with the age of the printers. Most printer techs could fix these in their sleep. The place I find parts for old HP printers is at laserpros.com. There are others, but they seem to have good prices and carry a wide inventory.
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:44 UTC
+1 on printer techs. I use these guys for maintenance kits.
Jan 9, 2012 at 2:45 UTC
Thanks everyone!
so far I really like this:
they go out of their way to make sure their refurbished printers are as good as they can be. including changing plastic gears that wear out with nice metal ones with bearings.
Jan 9, 2012 at 3:00 UTC
The attention to detail on the web page (explaining how they refurbish) was pretty cool. Definitely caught my attention with that page alone.
Jan 9, 2012 at 3:59 UTC
This one?
Yeah, blew me away.
Jan 9, 2012 at 4:00 UTC
I have been replacing alot of the 4100's with P2035's, not the same quantity out of the toner cartridge, but i can get new non-OE and it seems to run great. Nothing but good things to say about the P2035's. Add an "N" at the end for the network version.
Jan 9, 2012 at 9:00 UTC
I can sell you mine, 4000 and 4100 if you'd like....
Haven't purchased any 4000 or 4100 in years. Now I'm buying 4250tn from Dolphin Inc. http://www.dolphininc.net/
Dolphininc usually sells them for $300 refurbed and tested.
With 4250 I stopped using original HP toner and we`ve been buying refurb toner. Save a lot on printers and toner..
Jan 10, 2012 at 6:59 UTC
I've always gotten my parts from the guys at the following link and it looks like they have several printers available.
Jan 10, 2012 at 7:48 UTC
PrinterTech's all the way. We've been buying maintenance kits and the metal replacement gears from them for a while. Anyone with minimal skills can replace the gear and save the printer. Never going to buy from CST (Combined System Technologies) again. They sent 3 junk refurbished printers (all with the plastic gear still) and the last one had a rubber belt break off. Printer Tech's gets a definite recommendation from me!
Jan 10, 2012 at 8:24 UTC
Where are you located? Because I know of some companies, but depending where is the final destination shipping cost may be a killer. I also have some vendors that will ship for free.
Jan 10, 2012 at 8:46 UTC
If I need new network printers, I refuse to buy anything other than a refurb'd HP4000 or HP4050. I found 4-5 online about 2 years ago for around $200/ea. The things are tanks. They require a little maintenance each year or two, but for the most part, they work better than ANYTHING I've seen that's new in the last 10 years.
Jan 10, 2012 at 8:47 UTC
Wow. Great find. These guys really know their stuff!
HP 4000 are probably the best laser jets ever as far as how little they break. Real workhorses. I use to support about 10 of these devices over a 10 year span and have never had one totally die. Each printer averaged about 2500 prints/ week.
Jan 10, 2012 at 8:49 UTC
Oh yeah, and toner is relatively inexpensive for these beasts given their age. An extended use cartridge, 27x, is supposed to yield 10k pages. Most newer printers I've seen have cartridge yields, even on the extended cartridge, of 2-6k pages. I actually get better cost per page on my old HP4050s ($0.0032-$0.0053) than I do on my networked copiers ($0.0069).
Jan 10, 2012 at 2:36 UTC
I have a small fleet of the HP4200 series and get mine from this co:
For kits I'll go either to Printerstop or the printerworks.
I'll be looking into printertechs for future needs, the herd of dells are beginning to sound sickly (1710's were so-so, 1720s leave a lot to be desired).

After shipping metro optical access systems to a number of major China-based carriers, Luminous Networks will take the plunge and double its staff there over the next 90 days.
Tied to that, Luminous also plans to expand its current Shanghai facility by opening an office in Beijing in the first quarter of this year. The company's current China headquarters houses its staff and a customer demonstration lab. Over the next three months, Luminous will add staff for customer service, sales support, marketing, channel management and general management. Additionally, Luminous has already inked deals with seven reseller and system integration partners based in China. To date, deployments of Luminous' PacketWave metro optical access systems in China have reached 13 cities across seven provinces. Carrier customers include Shenzhen Keybridge Communications and Uninet Systems, among others.
"Luminous had the vision to recognize the opportunity in China early on and has capitalized on the market growth of the telecommunications infrastructure build-out in China," said Brian Noel, Luminous' vice president of marketing and business development.
Luminous' gear is based on pre-standard Residential Packet Ring (RPR) technology, creating a platform that combines Ethernet, TDM, video and wavelength services for telecommunications carriers and cable operators. A Layer 2 technology, RPR is designed to co-exist with legacy Sonet and Ethernet physical layers.
The 2.0 version of the RPR standard, the first to include a complete version of the draft, has been released for working group ballot. From there, the draft standard will weave its way through the consensus building process. An approval rate of 75 percent is required before it moves to the next stage, which is the sponsor group. A final draft can be published after achieving 75 percent approval at that stage.
A final, published IEEE RPR standard could be achieved by the late summer/early fall of 2003.

How can I prevent users from selecting an option from a dropdown field that was already chosen by someone else?Asked by accweb on January 31, 2017 at 12:24 PM
I have a drop down menu field and when an item in the field list is full, I would like to make it inactive but keep the other options in the field active.
JotForm Support
I'm assuming what you meant to ask was how to prevent users from picking an Advising Session schedule that was already picked by someone else. If so, that can't be done with a regular Dropdown field.
Perhaps one of these two widgets might fit your needs:
1. Appointment Slots widget: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/appointment_slots
2. Date Reservation widget: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/date_reservation
Related guide: How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-your-Form
Give it a spin and don't hesitate to let us know if you need more help.
No that's not what I need:
I have a Drop Down field on my form and I only want 20 entries for each of the Items listed in the drop down menu field. For each Item that reaches 20 entries, I want it to be removed from the list.
How do I do this?
JotForm Support
From how you further described it, if an option on your Advising Session Dropdown menu reaches 20 entries, it should be removed. Sorry but that can't be done with a regular Dropdown Field (nor any regular field for that matter).
Only widgets are capable of keeping track of user selection across submissions. These widgets were designed solely for that purpose (among with many others).
e.g. Some use case scenarios:
You want to keep track of your inventory, use the Inventory widget.
You want to set schedules on specific dates, use the Date Reservation widget.
You want to allow users to pick an appointment slot, use the Appointment Slots widget.
I recommend you browse around our Widgets Gallery if you think the widgets we recommended won't fit your requirements.
I didn't find a widget but it's too bad Jotform doesn't have this :(
JotForm Support
Can you take a look at this demo form https://form.jotform.com/70305702530948 and see if that will work?
I used the Appointment Slots widget for your Advising Session field. I submitted and tested it once, and picked Fri March 10, 2:00PM. You would notice that the counter for the available slots for that session is now down to 19.
The same idea will take effect for each submission until the counter reaches zero. Once there are no more slots left, no one can select that slot anymore.
Isn't that how you wanted your form to behave? If that fits the bill, you may clone my form (here's how) or just add the Appointment Slots widget to yours.
I can not have the field provide multiple selections. How do I that. Other wise this will work perfectly.
JotForm Support
I updated my demo form. Instead of using the Appointment Slots widget, I used the Ticket Purchases widget.
This has an added option of min/max selection to achieve what you want (e.g. disallow multiple selection).
Thank you!!!

Durham, NC Post-ACOS Signing--4 August, 1996; report by Hawk.
report by Robyn "Hawk" Goldstein
Yeah, I know it wasn't heavily advertised - I just found out about it by dumb luck. It seems that when Barnes and Nobles rounds up the usual suspects to advertise to, it doesn't really include more than their newsletter, and the local News & Disturber.
RJ read from the same chapter that he did at Balticon - except this time he read the entire chapter, rather than just the part where Mat gets jumped upon by Tylin.
He was remarkably patient with the amount of people there, and even remembered me from Balticon. I suspect it has something to do with him signing my books "To Hawk" than anything else.
Pam - here's something new for the FAQ. I asked him exactly why the pool of untainted saidin was needed at the Eye of the World. He kindof gave me a RAFO. RJ said that he has an idea of what he wants that to have been for, but he's not sure he's going to use it, so he didn't want to give me infomation and then change his mind later. So all our guesses are correct at the moment!
Other than that, it was a remarkably quiet signing. Bob Gibson brought all his books, and was attempting to get his friend Russ, another friend of their's, and me to help him get them signed. I declined, as I had already passed off one of my books to Russ to get signed.

Do you require some type of payment up front? The whole payment first? Or just get paid when the cake is done? I am doing my first cake for sale YAY ME! and I'm not sure what do
Before you accept money for a cake, make sure you have liability insurance and are set up legally according to your state's regulations (in some states, you cannot sell cakes made from home).
For large orders such as wedding cakes, we require a 50% deposit to hold the date and another 50% two weeks before the event.
I do have insurance and this cake is for a friend. Its for about 20 people
Always be paid in full before handing over cake! There are so many posts from people about how friends 'don't have cash/ right money' and will pay them 'next week' or send the money 'through so and so' and it never happens - so cheerio friendship!
Most people prefer to be paid in full before even starting the cake - so at least one week previous for cash, and longer for cheques if u accept them (don't want to have handed over the cake, to get a call on monday that it bounced!)
Friends can be the worst to get payment from! For a cake for only 20 people I'd get payment up front in full before making it.
I require 50% deposit to hold the date and the remainder at time of pickup, if they don't have the money at pick-up then they don't get their order, i'm a business not a charity.
weddings are due in full 2 weeks before delivery date.
friends and family are the worst to get money from.
Thanks everyone now I just have to figure out what I should charge them

Love It or Hate It? Underwear Set Wall Decal
This Red Velvet Art Underwear Set Wall Decal ($30) kind of cracks me up; it's pretty adorable. But I can't say I'd actually want to give it such a prominent place in my home (plus I'm sort of over wall decals). Perhaps the design would be better on pillowcases like these, or just on a little print. What do you think?

|Jim Stoker
|First appearance
|20th October 1971
|Number of appearances
|Played by
|John F. Landry
Jim Stoker was a drinking buddy of Stan Ogden who, together with his friend, gave Jerry Booth a hard time in the Rovers due to the likelihood of Stan being sacked from the Builder's Yard to make room for Jerry. Looking elsewhere for work, Jerry made enquiries with Alf Roberts, who offered to look up Christmas temping work at the Post Office and also who had council contracts that could prove useful. Throughout their conversation, Jim made digs at Jerry, prompted by a stirring Stan, trying to get a rise out of him by calling him a layabout and labelling his cleaning at 9 Coronation Street "woman's work", and even knocking Alf for offering Jerry "supplementary benefits from t'council". Jerry kept his cool, acknowledging Jim only to tell him to wait his turn when he tried to skip him at the bar. With Jim's next dig - telling Jerry he was only good for skivvying - the proud man finally lost it and punched Jim in the face, knocking him out cold in full view of the entire pub.
Jim settled his grievance with Jerry through the courts, where Jerry pleaded guilty to assault and was given a twelve months conditional discharge. After the case was over, Stan apologised to Jerry for provoking the situation.

À propos du livre
"God is good...all the time" is a compilation of true, touching, humorous, and poignant stories of how God finds us, brings us back when we have wandered, and keeps us always close to His heart. Sometimes God connects with us in subtle and sometimes powerful "surprising" ways that are all directed by His hand to remind us that God is here and God is good...all the time.
These stories paint pictures of the constant ways God is truly present in our lives and our world. They are anecdotes that point us to our powerful, ever present, and compassionate God. Just as God uses the stories of people's lives in the Bible to teach us, God clearly continues to use stories today, to speak Love into our lives.

Reynolds R Six Performance Exclusive Clincher Road Wheelset - 2016When you need the ultimate in aerodynamic performance, the Reynolds R Six Clincher is a 66mm deep carbon fiber clincher wheel that helps you knife through the wind. Perfect for racing, triathlons, or time trials, the R Six is one of the best performing deep section carbon clinchers available. But as anyone who knows even a little about aerodynamics will tell you, there's more that goes into a fast wheel than just a deep profile. That's why Reynolds also engineered the Swirl Lip Generator (SLG) into the R Six. The SLG essentially helps to disrupt air turbulence coming off the rim, smoothing out airflow for an even faster ride. CTg ultra-light laminate construction, paired with the Reynolds Cryo Blue brake pads help improve the stopping performance of these wheels, and runs up to 53% cooler than standard rim-and-pad combos, and ensures smooth, predictable braking power.
- CTg Ultralight Laminate technology helps keep weight down and improves braking performance
- 66mm rim profile cuts through the wind while maintaining durability, strength, stiffness and low weight
- Swirl Lip Generator helps to disrupt wind turbulence along the wheel edge to improve aerodynamics
- 20 bladed radial spokes in front and 24 bladed 2-cross drive-side spokes in back are laced to Reynolds Racing J-bend hubs for increased speed and aerodynamics
- Cryo Blue Brake Pads + CTg Brake Track = Stop Faster, Run Cooler:
- Patented, temperature-conductive laminate and pad system that reduces braking temperature
- System is composed of 2 key components which provide smoother, more predictable braking at 100° cooler operation
- Black hubs and spokes give these wheels a fast look

11. The $2.5 Million Gown
As a custom couture designer and entrepreneur, Randi Rahm has dressed scores of A-list celebrities with her one-of-a-kind creations. Her exclusive gowns range from $8,000 to $30,000. She also once designed a $2.5 million dress studded in 433 karats of diamonds that was worn at the Oscars. Rahm's signature "Diamond" gown was originally created with Swarovski crystals; that version and its various iterations, created with pearls or in different colors, are loaned for star-studded events, like Broadway premieres. Here, we take a look at that gown and Rahm's other stunning dresses donned by celebrities.

You may not hear this story on mainstream media because it doesn't fit the media's lust for race baiting. A Dallas police officer potentially saved a Black Lives Matter protesters life. A police officer sworn to duty, standing there protecting the man who hates him, is a story that won't make it to mainstream media.
It's our job to share it with you and your job to share it to your friends. It's a shame that a good old fashioned hero story won't make it to mainstream media because it's not racist enough or because it goes against the racial tension that mainstream media loves to stir up for ratings.
Watch the interview with a Black Lives Matter protester who was saved by police.
#BlackLivesMatter protester recounts how officer saved his life in Dallas.
HT @dallasnews pic.twitter.com/qS0TxbvLut
— Bill O'Keefe (@thatbillokeefe) July 8, 2016
Police officers sign up to protect and serve and this Black Lives Matter protester will live to see another day thanks to police. This story should change the protesters perception of police. It should remind people that police are not there to kill anyone, but quite the opposite.
When police tell people to put a gun down, or they will shoot, the police mean it. It's the civilians duty to follow orders and help keep a situation from escalating to a shooting.
What are the chances that a democrat or liberal will share this story and change their outlook on police?
Will Black Lives Matter protesters see this man's video account of his experience and think to themselves, "wow, police saved one of us, maybe we should calm down" or will Black Lives Matter ignore this like they ignore the black on black crime in Chicago. Or the thousands of black abortions each week.
Will Black Lives Matter wake up and realize they are acting like domestic terrorists and stop ruining people's lives? Will Black Lives Matter see that a Dallas police officer kept protesters safe and use this to teach people that police are NOT bad?
Or will Black Lives Matter continue to act like the KKK?
How long will it take for Black Lives Matter to start making a real difference and stop being violent?

The moment we walked in, we were blown away by the rooms we were shown. We got the deluxe room and loved every moment of our stay. I'm going to try and list all the things we were so happy with.
The small gestures they made like the welcome drink, the flowers in the room, ice bucket for our water by the pool, reserving spots by the pool when we needed it, taking us to places beyond the stops the car service provides, the amazing mouth watering breakfast! The best muesli, poached eggs, the world's best tagine, Moroccan salad and bread all are to die for!! The service and food at all times was simply amazing.
The chef and the manager both went out of their way to give us a top notch service. The care we experienced made us fall in love with Marrakech! The sweet surprise that there is a gym made a huge difference to us. The hammam was so pampering. Every part of the hotel is so beautiful that we felt we were in a secluded island. The garden around is so pretty. We had the bestest stay because of all the people at Mosaic especially the Manager. Thank you so very much! We can't wait to go back!

Ritchie Neville does not want to introduce his daughter to a new partner
Ritchie Neville thinks it would be "wrong" for his daughter to meet his ex-fiancee's new boyfriend.
The 37-year-old former 5ive singer split from his then-fiancée and Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton earlier this year and Ritchie believes it would be "too early" to start introducing their daughter Ella - who turns two later this month - to any new partners.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said: "That would be way too early. It would be terribly wrong to introduce them to new partners and stuff that quick. At the end of the day, the plan was we [Ritchie and Natasha] were getting married in June. It just wouldn't be right - not that I have a new partner."
The musician's position comes after the 'Whole Again' singer recently found love with Charles Grey after moving out of the home she shared with Ritchie.
The 'Keep On Movin' hitmaker said: "The main thing is it's not a time thing, it's how serious you are about the relationship, then you've got to give it some time.
"Kids can be sensitive to that. You've got to be sure it's mainly compatible it's going to go the distance. You've got to go through experiences together as a partner, I think."
However, Ritchie also insisted he has an "amicable" relationship with Natasha, revealing they're happy to share the parenting.
He said: "We do 50-50 parenting as far as time share goes. Natasha came round to pick Ella up earlier and she came in. You've got to keep it amicable and nice, otherwise it's not nice for the kids."
Ritchie said he is thrilled about being a parent, regardless of the split from Ella's mother.
He explained: "When people say it's a life-changing thing to do I think it's actually an understatement. Ella's two this month - it gets deeper and deeper just how life changing it is.
"It's a complete mental shift. You've got somebody else you are not just responsible for to feed and clothe, just to bring up, to shape and nurture and love. You're daddy - that's a big commitment and a big thing to take on."

Economists blame the crisis
Remember the old Soviet anecdote about officials gorlanova? "What is it?" — asked in amazement accompanying a foreign visitor, looking at the nondescript gray column of the officials involved followed by columns of military hardware on red square. "It's Gosplan — the most terrible weapon," I say to him.
A good anecdote. But if without jokes, in the current economic crisis who is to blame? Officials? Maybe economists? What was offered is probably not what is necessary, and that the country finds itself in economic crisis. Prices are rising, living standards falling.
You can certainly easily look for external causes: the sanctions, the fall in world oil prices. One problem: the Russian economy was clearly to slow down and actually enter into a crisis before all these external shocks of mid-2014. In December 2013, the presidential address to the Federal Assembly mentioned that the main causes of economic difficulties are not external, but internal.
Of course, low oil prices and sanctions have played a negative role, but still, it turns out that they themselves are guilty.
"Yourself" doesn't mean that the people to blame. "Themselves" means that you have to figure out with those who influence the adoption and implementation of major economic decisions.
How do management decisions? I would point out two subjects. First — officials, that is, those who invests the prepared solutions in the form of orders, directives, regulations, laws, etc. and accepts them. Second — scientists-economists.
Of course, in the life of the proposed division seems not so clearly, because enough decisions are prepared only by the employees of ministries and departments. They do not attract.
But if our trouble is in incorrect or late decisions, who is to blame that their adoption did take place? Of course, the managers responsibility is always. If the decision was wrong, and ordinances, decisions, etc. were signed, so officials have been unable (or unwilling, or intuition failed) to objectively assess what they napadisylate.
The responsibility lies on the officials always not only because they take the ultimate decision. Responsibilities also because it depends on them how is living in the country economic thought. If the latter is not popular, then what do you want from economists?
In this respect it is interesting to compare the present situation with that of, for example, during the late Soviet Union, in the second half of 1980-ies of the last century. Indeed, economists then tried to suggest to the authorities that would help to prevent the decline of the economy during the crisis. I remember a scientific conference at the faculty of Economics of Moscow state University. M. V. Lomonosova of the time: the Apple was nowhere to fall, people in the aisles was sitting on the floor listening to Popov, L. Abalkin, G. Yeghiazaryan, etc. Worked so that the "seething brains". Yes, not everything worked. Yes, the authorities delayed the adoption of radical decisions. But I'm on the other: economic research community felt the request for a private activity, and it tried to do everything that it was capable of.
There is nothing like this today. Conferences are held, but the relevance of what is being said to them by scientists, remains low. They are often the same officials and report on the work done and, at best, that still want to solve it.
Yes there conference! Do not actually work even expert councils created at the highest level. You heard, for example, on the activities of the Economic Council under the President of the Russian Federation? Not heard?
After all, there is a, established in July 2012. Since he was going only two (!) times: in the same July 2012 and December 2013. Well, actually, since the last meeting, the country managed to slip into a full-blown crisis. What? And nothing, but recently there appeared the information that you want to resume the meeting of the Presidium of the Economic Council (pay attention: not the Council itself, but only its Presidium). Blabbed on about why suddenly remembered. It turns out that we have the presidential election in 2018, so someone needs to work on a new economic program for this election.
I note, incidentally, that the Economic Council, according to Statute, is an Advisory body under the President of the Russian Federation aimed at preparation of proposals on main directions of socio-economic policy of the Russian Federation.
Abroad, by the way, the attraction of economists to elaborate government decisions exist not only on paper but quite real. Good work with experts at the highest level, for example, in China (which, incidentally, attract the best experts from other countries).
Does all of this, including against the background of comparisons with foreign practices that our economists completely innocent, they are innocent? No, it doesn't.
There are decisions that only one administrative apparatus to develop not. Here attract scientists and forces. Do you think everything that happens with the same, for example, the current pension reform invented officials? No, of course, it worked and economists-researchers. Do they, in this case, their share of the responsibility? Of course. But in this case, the responsible are primarily officials, because they ultimately make the decisions.
Finally, there is another side — the scientists whose ideas were not popular. Well, they definitely do not bear any responsibility, by definition, that is called.
Conclusion: the deepening economic crisis to blame managers and economists, whose ideas have been implemented. But why, why weren't implemented the correct economic ideas? Why we come down eventually to the economic crisis?
Because that is the level of professionalism of our managers that I've had to write before. Because there were some incorrect economic ideas. Because of the independent economic analysis was unclaimed.
There is after all, what other important feature there is. Customer studies of macroeconomic nature is primarily a state. Well, not the private business will all to enjoy. The state in this scenario is the same officials. What to order, or they define themselves, or with the help of those economists with whom I work. There will be a demand for independent research and analysis? No, of course.
For example, Russia obviously slept through the "shale revolution" in the United States. Overslept because officials have been unable to assess the seriousness of new technologies in the twenty-first century. But if they were sure in advance that all this is nonsense, whether there is a demand for appropriate analytical studies? No, it's not. The result is known: Russia is suffering increasing economic hardship because the economy remained commodity and oil prices plummeted, and is a long time.
And remember, carried out the so-called monetization of benefits, how painful this process was for millions of people? That it was impossible to think of everything in advance? Can.
Another example: the increase in social insurance contributions for individual entrepreneurs in 2013. Increased, traders (individual entrepreneurs) began to close down. Then tried the whole thing to play back: the amount of the contribution reduced, but the enterprise was already a serious blow.
Who is to blame for this decision? I think that this is the case when officials in General no one was interested to develop one. Themselves just went for it, well got a negative effect.
Take the day today. What to take? That's tax initiative. To date, the authorities had not announced a single initiative to raise taxes after 2018: removal of thresholds for the payroll accrual for the previously mentioned social insurance payments, increase these payments to individual entrepreneurs (Yes, again on the same rake), etc. And they believe that the promise not to raise taxes until 2018 much calm business.
You know, don't need to be an economist and sociologist, in the current situation to make the obvious conclusion: no one will invest, to invest in such promises. In my opinion, that without the involvement of economists is clear.
That's why I disagree when people say that the economic mess is to blame academic economists. It's not "eggheads" nachudili, it is primarily the heads of today's nareshal. Sometimes with the help of serving power economists.
That's why we are in crisis, with its rising prices and unemployment, falling living standards of the people.
I wrote all this not to somehow out of a sense of corporate solidarity to deflect the righteous anger from fellow economists. When guilty, then guilty. But still, the responsibility for what is happening in our economy, rests primarily with those who are today empowered to take appropriate management decisions.Related posts:

The broad Moscow boulevards were lined with huge and majestic Stalin Apartments and government office buildings. Apparently, there was an acute housing shortage during Nikita Khrushchevs regime and he had hundreds of Khrushchev Apartments built. These were big, poorly constructed cement and asbestos blocks. On the broad avenues, one saw few cars, those that plied mostly belonged to politicians and officials. The underground metro was and still is grand, there were no visible slums or beggars and Bollywood movies were popular with Muscovites. The performances in Bolshoi were in full bloom and the Russian circus was the best I had seen anywhere. India and the Soviet Union enjoyed a special relationship and the rupee-rouble trade was an important aspect of that relationship.
With the passage of time, Gorbachev was displaced by Boris Yelstin; the Yelstin years have now been overtaken by the leadership of President Vladimir Putin. While Indias special relationship survived the break-up of the Soviet Union, the changes in India and Russia seem to be creating a void about India in the Russian mind space. Russia is more and more preoccupied with its relations with Europe and in India we tend to be more preoccupied with the economic progress in China.
There is only muted criticism of the old communist regime with a touch of nostalgia amongst the elderly. During our stay, we saw only two statues of Lenin one in Moscow and another in St Petersburg and none of Stalin except his face on a banner in a painting of a collective farm in a museum. The shabby Khrushchev Apartments are being demolished and replaced by modern skyscrapers with basement parking. In the centre of Moscow a huge area is being demolished and rebuilt as the new financial centre or, as the Russians like to call it, the City. This is a bit ironic, considering the mess the Russian Banks are in.
India and Bollywood movies are the stuff of the memory of the middle-aged and older Russians; the younger generation is turned out in the latest Western fashions and flock the night clubs and multiplexes to watch American movies. The Bolshoi performances remain as spectacular, although the theatre is being shut for one year for major renovation in preparation for privatization.
During our stay, there was a Russian-European Union summit meeting held in the Kremlin, followed by a joint statement by Putin and Romano Prody, with the usual homilies. The meeting was supposed to be a preamble to Russias admission to the World Trade Organisation. The event made headlines. The editorial, that day, dealt with the question of how the US and Europe should deal with a not yet fully democratic Russia. Their response as they deal with China!
The pace of dramatic changes in Russia came up, once again, after a few days when Putin delivered his annual State of the Union message to the members of the presidium. Russias priorities, he said, were housing, health care, education and employment and to become a major developed country in ten years time. Putin emphasized the need to speed up the reforms process in order for Russia to achieve a growth rate of 7 per cent per year. In order to do this, Putin declared, Russia has to supplement its huge natural resources (Russias proven reserves of crude are reported to be larger than Saudi Arabias) with growth in manufacturing and trade, raise productivity, curb tax evasion and widespread economic crimes.
The latter refers to the ongoing battle to bring to book the oligarchs who are alleged to have indulged in largescale plunder of national assets, with the connivance of the state, during the Yelstin years.
Putin also emphasized the need to aggressively attract more foreign investment. In order to raise the level of foreign investments, Putin referred to the need to tone up Russias legal system and processes. While doing so, he reassured the Russian people that the current system of governance was best suited to the needs of Russia, and warned the West to desist from interfering in the internal affairs of Russia. Interestingly, he referred to Russias bilateral relations with the United States of America, Europe, India, China and Japan as being vitally important.
The next day, the local media was fairly sharply divided in their support or criticism of Putins speech. The Russians I spoke to were cautiously optimistic about Putins ability to deliver. I am not sure whether the Indian media reported Putins State of the Union speech. It would have been quite an eye-opener considering the ongoing debate on economic reforms in India.
In Moscow, old grim state-run hotels are being pulled down and are being replaced by international chains to provide modern amenities to business and leisure travellers. But some old landmarks remain intact. A leisurely stroll through Gorky Park on a sunny day is as pleasurable as it always was.
It remains unchanged except for a corner which is cordoned off to store the statues of all the former heroes of the Soviet Union. The other familiar landmark is the old KGB headquarters on Dzerzhinsky Square. The sparse roundabout in front of the building is now flower bedecked and cheerful. Behind the KGB building is the KGB Officers Club which has been converted into the KGB museum.
We were given a conducted tour by the director, a retired KGB colonel. It was a fascinating experience. The KGB uniforms, the spying aids, the life story of the famous and not so famous spies and counter-spies from Abel to Blake and many others tell a stark story of the Cold War days. The Americans provided their spies with such perfect forged Russian passports that it took several years for these to be detected. The staples in the American forgeries did not rust while those in normal Russian passports did. The cloak-and-dagger work of spies continues, but now the targets are economic crimes, drug-mafia and terrorists. In pursuing the new targets, the colonel told us they have made a common cause with their former enemies. A KGB operator gets to retire at the age of 45; in the past very few survived that long. The chances, it seems, are much better now.
On the last day, I took a leisurely stroll across the Red Square. It was a sunny day and hundreds of visitors were milling around. There were hardly any people lining up to enter Lenins mausoleum. In the old days, long queues of people used to wind around the Red Square, patiently awaiting their turn to catch a glimpse of the father of the Russian Revolution. Now the visitors are more interested in the colourful onion domes of the revived and politically influential Russian Orthodox Church.
I learnt that Duma in Russian means the abode of wise thinkers, called Dumayats. The Dumayats of modern Russia are certainly succeeding to help Russians think and act as individuals, after several decades of being spoon-fed by the state. There is much we in India can learn from the economic transformation taking place in Russia maybe even more than from China. A nations political philosophy and social commitments do not have to be mired in history in order for it to embrace reforms which deliver greater good to its people.

Lotus is introducing its latest race car, dubbed the Elise Race 250. Based on the Elise Cup 250 that was revealed in Geneva this year, it is, unfortunately, a track-only machine and is eligible for many race series around the world.
It has the same 1.8-liter supercharged petrol engine as its road-legal brother that boasts 243 horsepower (181 kilowatts) and 184 pound-feet (250 Newton meters) of torque. The motor is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
But that's nearly the only thing identical between the Race 250 and the Cup 250. The track-ready Elise comes with Nitron adjustable dampers, uprated brake pads, FIA approved carbon fiber race seat with six-point racing harness, a removable steering wheel, and a polycarbonate rear windscreen.
Also, a full aerodynamic body kit that includes a front splitter, a rear diffuser, floor extensions, and a rear wing generates additional downforce that equals to 145.5 pounds (66 kilograms) at 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers per hour) and 342 lbs (155 kg) at maximum speed of 154 mph (248 km/h).
But that's not everything. In fact, probably the most important improvement has been done by the company's Motorsport division through the so-called "Lightweight Laboratory." A new lithium-ion battery saves 22 lbs (10 kg) compared to a standard battery and carbon fiber race seats shave additional 13 lbs (6 kg). An optional Carbon Aero Pack which replaces the standard front splitter, rear wing, rear diffuser, and side floor-extensions with lightweight carbon components reduces the mass by a further 22 lbs (10 kg). With all these lightweight options, the Elise Race 250 weighs less than 1985 lbs (900 kg) – some 68 lbs (31 kg) less than the Elise Cup 250.
Speaking of lightweighting, that's the philosophy the next generation Elise will follow – a vehicle that should be "ready in 2020," as Lotus chief Jean-Marc Gales explained recently. We are also promised the new car will remain faithful to the DNA of its predecessors and won't be super big and expensive.
