Joss, quoted
- I think every child should have nothing to do for a long while.
- I have never had any particular life of my own, so I don't see any particular reason why anyone should run out to get one.
Quotes from other people, about Joss and Joss is a Hottie
- …a website that has the words "Josshottie" disturbs me greatly. I'm scared to go there. -David Fury, writer and producer
- All roads lead to Joss. -Meredyth Smith, writer
- One can never ever tell, with Joss. -Erika Amato, singer
- Joss is a man's man -Marc Blucas, actor
- Joss is hands down the coolest showrunner I've ever worked with, which makes sense because he's the most talented as well. He's the big brother I wish I had. -Danny Strong, actor and writer
- [Joss is] a god. [I] love him to death. -Amber Benson, actress and writer
- Joss knows all, sees all, and does a mean happy dance. -Stephen DeKnight, writer
- 'He's not the normal adult in any way that I can see… 'He's the mischievous kid and the wise-adult kid in one package. You know, if he wanted to be taken seriously in the conventional way, he could write a medical show or a legal show. But he cares more about telling stories he wants to tell, and he's being taken seriously on his terms. It's like the title 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer': if you don't smile, you're not going to get the show anyway. – JJ Abrams
- Joss Whedon is an extraordinarily talented filmmaker … and in fact, in 1994, I was making a western called The Quick and the Dead and having a script problem, and I came to the studio and said, "Can you find me a writer? I've shot this movie, and the end isn't quite working." And ultimately, the movie didn't quite work. But they suggested Joss Whedon, who was doing Buffy, so I met Joss and he saw the movie, and he helped me solve this ending in one afternoon. I thought, Damn, you're a good writer! I wish I could have had you rewrite the whole movie and save this picture! But I'll never forget how good he was, and how precise, so when I saw The Avengers, I was not surprised that his name was on it. It's a very hard job to take all those heroes and all those stories and know exactly what bits the audience needs and what they don't need. – Sam Raimi

Every now and then I come across a design that I am a huge fan of and I like to see how well I can figure things out on my own and try to replicate.
I have been a long fan of Dylan Gelinas's Astronaut Monkey design and I had it in my head that I would love to make that monkey floating in space next to the Earth balloon I saved that I had used for my Aquarius Zodiac design, Ganymede pouring out the wine of the God's on earth. I made it yesterday to celebrate EARTH DAY.
I learned a lot in my experimentation. I feel like Sherlock Holmes when I try to figure someone else's design and you really get a feel for how a person thinks. Everyone has a certain construction style that I love trying to tap into and understanding.
"Every man I meet is in some way my superior, and I can learn from him." Ralph Waldo Emerson
I go about my art with this in mind. I am a fan of balloon art as a whole and other balloon artists as well.
Hope I did it justice. 🙂 Happy Twisting!

This application is related to and claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent application No. 60/586,298, titled "Optical Vend-Sensing System For Control Of Vending Machine," filed Jul. 9, 2004, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to a machine that dispenses objects and detects the dispensed objects with an optical sensor. More particularly, this invention relates to an optical vend-sensing system and a vending machine that has an optical vend-sensing system.
The invention is better understood by reading the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
In a typical glass-front vending machine, the user of the machine sees a glass-fronted cabinet, with a selector panel located off to one side of the glass. Through the glass, there can be seen an array of articles, typically packaged snack foods arranged in horizontal columns which extend horizontally in a front-to-rear depthwise direction, with a plurality of columns at each of several vertically spaced levels. At each level the articles are pocketed in-between adjacent turns of respective spirals arranged one or two to a column. Each spiral has an axially central rearwardly projecting stem at its rear, which is plugged into the chuck of a respective motor assembly mounted to the rear of a tray. When a user makes the requisite payment to the machine and makes a desired selection on the selector panel, the spiral or spirals for the respective column begin to turn causing all of the packaged articles received among the spiral turns in that column to advance. If the vending machine is working properly, the respective spiral or spirals turn sufficiently to cause the leading packaged article in the respective column to be conveyed sufficiently far forwards that the package loses support provided from underneath by a respective tray, and tumbles down past the front of the respective shelf, through a vend space between the fronts of the columns and the back of the glass front, into an outlet bin, from which the user can retrieve it, typically by temporarily pushing in a hinged from above, normally closed door.
Again, if the machine is working properly, the respective spiral or spirals cease being turned by the respective motor assembly before the next-in-line, newly leading package in the respective column mistakenly becomes conveyed so far forwards that it, too, falls off the tray, down through the vend space and becomes vended without a requisite payment having been made.
Several different unplanned occurrences can occur, and the possibility and likelihood of their occurrence complicates the design of glass-front vending machines.
It is important that users, upon making requisite payment, be reliably vended the product which they have selected, without any deficiency or bonus, and without any need, or apparent desirability for expending unusual effort, or that the user automatically be provided a return of payment, or the opportunity to make another selection.
Spatial orientation of packages and wrinkling of packaging, unusual distribution of contents of a package, unusual tumbling of a package through the vend space, an empty pocket in a spiral and similar factors all can cause mis-vending, particularly if the machine is one in which a spiral is made to turn through only a predetermined angular distance for vending a selected product, or the package being vended, depending on how it falls, can bypass a detector meant to terminate rotation of the respective spiral or spirals upon detecting that a package has been vended.
Many glass-front vendors are modularly constructed, so that the number of vertically-spaced rows of product columns, and/or the number of laterally spaced columns per row can be changed either at the time the machine is ordered by its purchaser, or in the field, or both. This fact also complicates provision of reliable vending, particularly if adding and deleting columns necessitates adding and deleting sensors and making sure that the sensors are properly positioned and correctly operating. Addition of sensors also adds to expense.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,384,402, and 6,794,634, which claims priority thereto, both assigned to the assignee of the present application and both of which are incorporated by reference herein, disclose optical vend sensing systems that are designed to provide an improved vend sensing system.
The present invention includes several embodiments of an optical vend sensing system that are particularly adapted for use in a glass front vending machine, e.g., of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,384,402, although the present invention can also be used in other types of machines. In the example of a glass front vending machine, the optical vend sensing system is preferably positioned in the machine to detect articles which pass through the vend space.
The positioning of the emitters and detectors can also be altered. For instance, the emitter does not have to be at the end of each array, as shown in
Those of skill in the art will realize that the relative spacing of the emitters and detectors on an emitter/detector array depends on the number of emitters and/or detectors and on how far apart the arrays are to be spaced and on the expected size of articles to be vended.
An exemplary vending machine in which the optical vend-sensing system of the invention may be provided and used, is schematically illustrated at 100 in
Spaced, for example, about 9 inches (23 cm) in front of the front edges of the tray assemblies as a panel in an openable/lockable door (not shown), is a glass front 220, through which a prospective customer can view the leading packaged products available for being vended upon operation of the machine. The door, to one side of the glass front, further includes a selector panel, or generally a payment and selection unit, (not shown) which includes means for accepting payment from the user, and for the user to select which column he or she wishes to receive the leading packaged product from. Vending, upon selection, is accomplished by causing the respective motor assembly or assemblies for the spiral or spirals of the respective column to turn through a sufficient angular distance, as to advance all of the products nested in the turns of the respective spiral or spirals forward such that the leading one loses support from below as it reaches the front of the respective tray support surface aid the runout at the front end or ends of the respective spiral or spirals, and drops through the vend space 240 behind the glass front 220, down into a vend hopper 260, from which it can be retrieved by the customer, by temporarily pushing in from the bottom on the top-hinged, resiliently urged closed door 280. (Typically, the door 280 is the outer part of a double-door arrangement configured such that as the user pushes in the outer door, a normally open inner door (not shown) at the top of the vend hopper correspondingly temporarily closes, for denying the user upward access to the vending machine cavity 140 via the vend hopper door 280.
An embodiment of the optical vend-sensing system 320 is schematically and diagrammatically illustrated in
In some presently preferred embodiments, each array has fourteen (14) detectors spaced approximately 0.45 inches apart and one emitter (at the end). The emitter is not spaced 0.45 inches from its closest detector.
During operation, each emitter 14 is energized (either constantly or pulsed) and the opposing detectors 16 are checked to determine if they are receiving light from the opposing emitter 14. The detectors may be checked one at a time (sequentially or in any order) or simultaneously or in groups. The emitters/detector arrays need not be mounted to a circuit board but can be positioned and connected to the vending machine in other manners.
Within a vending machine, the positioning of the emitter/detector units can be below the article vending units. For instance, in one embodiment, the emitter and detector units substantially extend a depth, front to rear of the machine, of the area through which vended products naturally fall. Other placements can also be used. For instance, the system shown in
In preferred versions of the embodiments disclosed herein, the emitters are not operated in a multiplexed manner.
In each of the embodiments disclosed above, the emitting of the signals and detecting of the emitted signals can be controlled through a CPU or other processing circuitry, hardware or software to detect an interruption of light from the detector(s) to the emitter(s) corresponding to a product falling through the vend space.
A logic circuit can be used with the detectors which allows conclusion of a vend on a detected occlusion of light to the detector of up to 100% of the corresponding light emitted. For instance, the logic circuit can be set to allow conclusion of the vend if the occlusion of light is in the range of 50-100% of the emitted light, or even less under certain circumstances.
The spacing between the detectors can be set as desired to provide a desired balance between more accurate sensing (i.e., closer spacing, thus requiring more detectors) and cost (i.e., larger spacing, requiring fewer detectors). Generally, the closer the spacing of the detectors, the more likely that an article dropping past the detectors will block a high percentage of the emitted light received by one or more of the detectors to more accurately sense a vend.
Where at least two emitters are used, with corresponding detectors positioned to receive the emitted light, the light of the different emitters can be pulsed at different frequencies and the detectors set to detect/signal only the light received at the pulsed frequency corresponding to the counterpart emitter. This can provide more accurate sensing by limiting consideration of emitted light not corresponding to the emitter(s) paired with the detector(s).
The light emitters and detectors may be of any type, though infrared emitters and detectors are preferable.
It is intended that various aspects of the different embodiments can be combined in different manners to create new embodiments.
While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

His paralegal says that 2 things hurt my case. #1. 3 W/C doctors say it's "chronic" back pain. 2 disks reinjured, 2 new ones. the new one's are never mentioned in any of the reports. #2. the prior injury. He says it would cost $950 to hire a DIME Dr. but it still might not help to overcome the 3 stooges opinions. They don't want to pursue the back pay issue since the insurance company wants to settle. He doesn't want to pursue both. I told him I want both back pay & settlement money. He thinks I can only get the settlement money. I told him I have to pay for my own medical to fix the disks. They'll "try" to get me a little more. He knows I feel betrayed by him, and is just trying to close out the case. I think I'll look into another lawyer, or file a complaint with the legal regulatory agency. I need both monies, not just the one.
Previously he said the legal loophole is binding in favor of the insurance carrier. He never said if he could fight it, and work it to my benefit. He never fully explained the loophole. I don't want to drop the back pay issue, but he knows I desperately need the settlement money & asked if I wanted them to settle the claim. I told him to proceed & that I feel screwed in both ways. Settlement money is just enough to pay back everyone that helped me out. Back pay money would help me get healed & ahead.

Hellooooo! So, I'm curious mostly to hear from girls--what sort of things seem perfect for a second date?
We had sushi and went to a dueling piano bar on the first date and had a great time. We've been talking every day since, and she expressed strong interest in going on additional ones. She's someone who is definitely interested in trying new things. We've only known each other for like 3-4 weeks.

Why not go on an adventure together? Doesn't mean you need to go rock climbing and then white water rafting, but drive out to the coast and have dinner at a nice seafood restaurant, then walk and talk up and down the beach? Or pick a restaurant that was featured on the Food Network that's an hour or two away and make that the destination, and explore that new area and see what it's like. Walk around Main Street checking out the little antique stores, art galleries, coffee shops, etc.
Check out a museum or something!
An added bonus of exploring a new area that's an hour or two away is the time you'll have to just talk and get to know each other better on the drive there and back. If it's something new for both of you then it will be more memorable as well!10|10|0

Cyrus Kouandjio
February 2, 2011 by staff
Cyrus Kouandjio, Cyrus Kouandjio finally taking his college decision on Wednesday. Sitting alongside several of his teammates, Kouandjio – the best offensive line prospect in America – an audience that ESPNU will play for the BCS national champions Auburn. "I did not sleep last night through this process, Kouandjio said." It was a lot of thought to achieve this result. "
Kouandjio (6-7, 322, Hyattsville, Md., DeMatha HS) was considered the best school football player in the country is expected to announce his college choice Wednesday. Auburn has not received his papers; he has only committed to signing and could still change their minds.
Number one in the country selected the No. 1 team in the 2010 season and through the marriage of the two, Auburn can move toward a mythical national championship in recruiting well.
Cyrus Kouandjio, Sporting News Top 100 No. 1 overall player, was thought to be Alabama bound, like his brother Arie Kouandjio was already on the list Crimson Tide. But he pulled off the shocker of the national day of signing when he announced live on television that he would sign his letter of intent with Auburn. Until an official visit in late January, it was not Auburn on his short list of schools.
Cyrus Kouandjio (pronounced joe-Kwande), a 6-foot-7, 320 pounds of offensive linemen DeMatha would have reduced his choices to Alabama, Auburn, Iowa, Miami, New Mexico and USC. And no, it's not a typo. New Mexico, a program and winning only two games over the past two seasons, remains one of his first choices.
The native of West Africa, who moved to the United States at the age of 4 years, said on several sites it is not leaning toward a school, but one would think should be high on Alabama his list because the brother Arie is a rookie offensive lineman for the Crimson Tide.
Cyrus Kouandjio of Hyattsville (MD) DeMatha High School will announce his college choice today that football players across the country begin signing letters of intent with colleges of their choice.
The 6-foot-7, Rivals.com and Scout.com consider 322-pounds Kouandjio the best offensive lineman in the country. Scout lists him as the second best player at any position. Rivals has him # 4.
Literally and figuratively, it would be the biggest signing in the history of Iowa.
Although Kouandjio is a former teammate and good friend of first-year Iowa running back Marcus Coker, the bridge seems to be stacked against the Hawkeyes.
The other two schools are considering Kouandjio teams that have won the last two national championships – Alabama and Auburn. His older brother, Arie, plays for Alabama. He recently visited Auburn the weekend and it is not uncommon for players to sign with the last place they visited. Although Kouandjio insists he is not deterred by the weather in Iowa, he suggested again that he would play in a college where the weather is hot.
Kouandjio did not provide many other tips regarding his recruitment. After his visit to Auburn, he planned to spend a few days considering his future before signing today.

What should i try for anime now?
Im kinda new to the whole scene so i thought i would get some suggestions on what to watch next. I have watched the original robotech, gundam seed, gundam wing, escaflowne and now im looking for something new. Im not really into the vampire kinda things that i see or someting like new dominion tank police. I like solid space style story lines, although if you guys think a different one is good enough i will give it a try too. I guess im asking for guidance is all.
Please post in an appropriate forum. So far you are 0 for 2 :) Here's a hint, go to the forum front page and read the little descriptions under the Forum name.
This thread should be in the
Suggestions forum.
If you want to ask what good anime is to download, ask in here.
Moving thread into Suggestions
Whoops, sorry about that. Thanks for moving it though
Hmm, solid space style storylines. Crest of the Stars immediately jumps out at me, extremely classy show with a good level of intelligence. Gunbuster is a very interesting choice, a bit strange and part-parody but with incredible visual storytelling and an unusual mixture of hard science fiction and melodrama. (And the greatest ending ever.) Stellvia and Planet S are the most obvious ones at Animesuki. And you might want to investigate some of the older (generally better) Gundam series, though I'm not familiar enough with them to say anything specific.
And if you want something refreshing after bathing completely in space-mecha anime for a while, watch Nadesico :D
Twin Spica (torrents on AnimeSuki) is decent SF about teens preparing for space travel.
Kiddy Grade is a solid show, more of a superhero theme.
Starship Girl Yamamoto Youko is a neat older show, you can get a torrent for the first ep.
Avenger is set on Mars, it is getting some positive attention from people although I dislike it. Torrents are available for this one too.
If you want great mecha action certainly watch GunBuster! as was mentioned (one of my faves and works as SF too, which is rare). Evangelion is many people's all-time favorites (very high on my list too), and Dual is very good.
As far as something DIFFERENT, I have to recommend Kodomo no Omocha. It was probably the first show I saw that made me enjoy anime as being different from American cartoons (the shows you mentioned having seen were all licensed & dubbed for American TV, partly because they are kind of like other American stuff).
Kodomo no Omocha is funny as hell and is definitely Japanese in its outlook and presentation. It does not rely on adult humor (which you have not seen much of in the shows you mentioned and may not want to see). And you can watch the first 10 episodes or so and see a great story arc and not have to worry about seeing the rest of the series. You can also get torrents at the AnimeSuki site! Ganbare!
vandread just watch that good old anime vandread
Thanks for all the ideas guys, i will try each of them

will walking help swollen feetREAD MORE
will walking help swollen feet
You need to understand why they are swollen. Is it neuropathy related or may be medication related? In either case you need to consult your doctor and device a plan of action to help cut down the swelling! Certainly walking will help decrease the fluid, by increasing the circulation over all and issues with sodium, like a salty meal from the night before , walking will definitely help decrease the swelling!
But best idea is to see your physician to know what the root cause is and then form a plan of action with them.
I agree that walking helps with swollen feet. I, myself, have experienced the same. The more I walk, the better my ankles and legs feel. As soon as I sit, after being in the heat, my ankles swell and I'm miserable. I try to keep walking as much as I can instead of sitting at the computer or t.v. As soon as you can, see a doctor. In the meantime, good luck.READ MORE
I am currently suffering with severely swollen ankles. I am seeing my doctor next week, but in the meantime, he told me to elevate my feet as much as possible and try not to walk in the heat. I seem to have this problem every summer. Alabama is hot and humid. I also have a respiratory infection right now and my pulmonary doctor thinks the swelling could also be related to that. However, if anyone has a remedy, I would certainly be interested in hearing it.READ MORE
yes because walking help more vascularity and venous drainage thereby reduse swllingREAD MORE
My feet/ankles have been swollen for 25 years, since long before I took any medications or had diabetes. My experience has been that they will swell worse when the weather gets warmer (and it doesn't have to be hot--going from 55 degrees to 70 will do it). And when I first start a walking program, or if I overdo my exercising, they will also swell more. But after a few days on a good walking program for 2-3 days, the exercise definitely helps the swelling to go down, presumably as my heart gets stronger and circulates the blood better.READ MORE
A nutritionist told me to make sure I was getting enough electrolytes for my swollen ankles. At the time she told me to use Emergen-C which I did and got rid of the swollen ankles. Today I do not use Emergen-C because it is sweetened with fructose which almost instantly turns into fat when insulin resistance is at play. Instead, I use one of the varieties Ionic Fizz to provide the electrolytes and it works nicely.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Disclaimer: I do not own Firefly/Serenity.
A/N: Originally written for a challenge over at Copper For A Kiss - using a random prompt generator (the link's dead now, I think, though). This is a funny pre-Rayne fic where River and Jayne pose as a couple to keep a mark distracted. There is an unfinished sequel to this, in a file buried deep, deep in the darkest reaches of my harddrive. One day... I shall post it. Heh. I just need to finish the fight scene it.
Anyway, enjoy, everyone!
Just a Walk in the Park
"Captain! We're here." Wash looked to the triceratops sitting on the console near him. "Just you and me, buddy. You and me." He stared out at the gray surface of the planet rising rapidly towards him. Landings were easy - easy, just as long as nothing went wrong, as long as he kept the girl steady, as long as he was smooth, gliding in, a leaf on the wind...
He let out a long, low breath and then grinned. Another perfect landing.
"Good job," Mal – who was suddenly behind him – said, giving the pilot a clap on the shoulder. "Now meet in the hold - we're disscussin' the job."
Wash stood and followed him out. "What? I get to know the intricate details of our crime? Am I allowed to participate this time?"
Mal ignored him.
As soon as everyone had gathered in the hold, Mal assumed his most captainy stance: feet apart and arms on his hips. "Well." He gave everyone a stern look and said, "We got somethin' of an oddness this time 'round. Man who hired us has somethin' of an enemy in these parts - one he didn't bother tellin' me about 'til jus' now. And he's the one we're stealin' from."
"So?" Jayne shrugged. "Why's that matter? I c'n just shoot him." He hefted one of his smaller guns up, grinning.
"That would be easy, wouldn't it? But he knows that we're comin' and he knows most o' the crew."
"We can't just give up the job, captain," Zoe said seriously, her arms folded. "We need the coin."
"Do not worry," River said, popping up from her seat on Jayne's weight bench. "He has a plan."
"That's right, li'l witch," Mal said, nodding slowly. "I have a plan." He coughed and said, "He knows most o' the crew, but not all of us. He ain't never seen River."
"Send the girl out," River informed the rest of them, nodding seriously. "Reconnaissance."
"Well... yeah," Mal agreed, still disconcerted from the mind reading. "Was thinkin' that - "
"That what?" Simon asked angrily. "That you would send my still mentally handicapped sister out onto an unfamiliar planet and ask her to spy on some hun dan just to perpetrate some insignificant heist?"
"Ain't too insignificant if it means the diff'rence 'tween eatin' and not," Mal replied sternly, his jaw tight. "An' I know your sister ain't exactly a whole cuppa brains there, but that's why I wasn't sendin' her out alone. Don't be gettin' any ideas about runnin' this ship, doc. That's my duty an' I take it pretty seriously."
"No fighting," River said. "Danger is minimal. The girl may be damaged, but she is capable and willing." She looked at her brother seriously, her eyes not pleading but telling. "I will be fine, Simon."
For a moment the doctor hesitated, but then he sighed. "Fine. That's fine. But I'm going with her."
"Oh, real good idea," Jayne scoffed. "So we'll lose the doctor 's well as the crazy girl when things don't go smooth."
"Not losin' anyone, Jayne," Mal told him. "But doc, he's got a point. You think you can take care o' things if somethin' happens?"
"Simon is very brave," River said, patting her brother's head. "But he is useless in a fight."
"Hey. I'm not useless, mei mei," he chided, grinning all the while. "Just... not as adept as say Zoe or Jayne."
"I could go with her," Wash said suddenly. "Act like the benevolent uncle or something, taking her out for a day on the town. I may not have arms the size of small children..." He gestured at Jayne, who did not detect the sardonic note in Wash's voice and looked rather proud. "But I think I can figure out how to pull a trigger if I need to."
"Need you to stay with the ship, watch her in case we need to get out quick." Mal sighed and looked to Jayne. "An' me and Zoe gotta pull the biggest part of the job off..."
Jayne looked confused. "So you're sendin' 'er with Kaylee?"
Zoe rolled her eyes and for a moment Kaylee looked a bit worried. "No, not quite," Mal told him. "She's goin' with you."
"What?!" Jayne and Simon both yelped, looking at the captain as though his brainpan had been fried.
Mal just nodded serenely and said, "Y'heard me."
"Captain, I don't think this is a good idea." Simon looked over at Jayne skittishly, moving forward a little towards Mal. "Jayne has never been the most understanding of River, and what if he decides – "
"He ain't gonna decide," Mal said sternly, giving Jayne a piercing stare. The mercenary scowled and crossed his big arms petulantly over his chest. "He's gonna do what I tell 'im and take care o' the girl jus' long enough to get their guards down."
"But Mal," the large man whined. "Why I gotta do it? She don't like me, an' I sure as ruttin' hell don't like her. The only thing that'll be distractin' about it is when we get to arguin' an' she goes ape-shit on me."
"Won't happen," River assured him coldly, her expression and tone indicating she was more than a little incensed. "You are not the girl's first choice, either, man-with-a-girl's-name."
"I done told you to stop that! Jus' cause some girls got my name don't mean it's a ruttin' girl's name!"
"Girl's name! Girl parts! Man-called-Jayne is no man at all!"
"Wha – Oh, that's it, crazy, you ain't gettin' away with that!"
"What will you do?" she asked archly. "Grunt at me?"
With a growl, Jayne sprinted towards her. River only let out a disdainful laugh and darted away from him.
The two ran in circles around the others. Mal sighed and let his head fall.
"Gorram it, you moonbrain! C'mere and let me pound you."
"Such incentive! What people skills you have, ape-man."
"Y'all done yet?" Mal asked, stepping into their circle. River darted around him while Jayne skidded to a stumbling halt right before crashing into him.
River giggled, sticking her tongue out at Jayne as she peeked out from behind the captain. "We are through, Captain Daddy."
"Yeah, we're through," Jayne said through clenched teeth. "F'r now…"
Mal rolled his eyes. "Good. Now… you ready to listen to the plan? Ain't gonna be hard – you an' River are gonna go out and have a little stroll through th'park."
"The park?" Jayne growled incredulously. "We're gonna jus' go for a walk in the ruttin' park?" He huffed. "Oh yeah, Mal, real gorram genius plan there."
"You know, I don't recall askin' for your opinion on this, Jayne. In fact, seems like your opinion don't matter t'me at all." He looked at Jayne intently for a moment before turning his attention to the rest of the crew. After clearing his throat, he continued outlining his plan. "Now, Jayne an' River are gonna be somethin' like a distraction. Man knows we're here, knows Jayne is one o' us. He sees him with River, he's gonna think it's just a spacer visitin' his niece or daughter or sweetheart or somethin' an' won't think nothin' of it. He walks in this park every day, and bein' as he's suspicious by nature, he'll prob'ly follow 'em. That's when me an' Zoe go in, do the job, an' then get outta there."
Simon scratched his head. "So… the danger will be relatively low? For River, at least?" Mal nodded. The doctor smiled a bit and nodded back. "W-well that's good. I… This plan seems needlessly complicated, and it hinges on only a possibility. What if he doesn't follow Jayne and River? I don't understand why he would."
"Jayne is a mighty intimidatin' fellow," Mal informed him. "Why would we pull a big job without our hired gun with us? Wouldn't make no sense."
"Not unless you know what a good shot Zoe is," Wash added, slapping his wife's thigh lightly.
"Thank you husband," she said with a smile, running a hand through his hair.
"Well Zoe's good shootin' aside," Mal drawled, "I still think we can use Jayne as bait t' keep from havin' him back too soon."
"Very wise," River put in. "Use the most expendable."
Everyone snickered at that except Jayne, who only scowled fiercely and slid into the empty chair.
Mal nodded. "Looks like we got a plan, then. All right – Jayne, River, you two go on an' get prettified for your walk. Zoe, you an' I need to get ready for the heist. Kaylee, let's see those blue prints."
Half an hour later, they all gathered in the hold, ready to disembark.
"Now remember you're supposed to be lookin' for a tall fella with brown hair an' a scar across his face," Mal told River.
Jayne huffed beside her. "Y'done told us twice already, Mal. She might be crazy but she ain't stupid."
River grinned naughtily. "Cannot say the same for him, though."
"Hey! I'm not stupid, you moonbrained little – "
"Oh, good," Simon said, rolling his eyes as he walked past them. "Things are already going so well."
Jayne growled. River only giggled.
"You two had best take this serious," Mal instructed firmly. He gave River his sternest look; she bent her head and nodded quickly. Jayne wouldn't be swayed so easily. "Else I'm takin' part o' your cut."
"Gorrammit, Mal! I – "
"Just do the job, Jayne. An' don't kill the crazy girl."
"Fine," the big man muttered, glaring at the small young woman beside him out of the corner of his eye. "I won't kill her."
The four going out on the job walked off the ship together, towards the little town. Mal and Zoe were headed to the large manor near the northern edge, and Jayne and River were going to the town's pride and joy, a small, carefully-tended park.
"Have fun you two," Mal told them, his serious face barely masking his teasing intent. "We'll see you back on the boat."
River waved happily as the captain and Zoe walked off; Jayne only grumbled to himself, knocking around a small rock with the toe of his boot. It wasn't fair, really; why did Mal and Zoe get to have all the fun while he was stuck looking after a crazy little girl who couldn't even brush her own hair?"
"Excuse her," River seethed, glaring daggers at him. "The loss of brain matter is trivial compared to follicle care!"
Jayne's brows lowered to a point between his eyes. "What?"
River frowned and shot him a "don't-be-stupid" look. "Have more important things to worry about."
"Yeah, well…" He sniffed. "Stay the hell outta my brain."
"What brain?"
He clenched his teeth together hard, wondering again if it was really worth listening to Mal. "Jus' shut up an' start walkin'."
She looked quickly around them, taking in every detail of their surroundings. Jayne started walking and she snuck up next to him, pressed against his side.
"What the hell do you think you're doin'?" he asked angrily, shoving her away from him.
"We are on an outing together," she stated, giving him a dark look. She came back up to him, but didn't actually touch him. "We cannot allow our audience to perceive the underlying animosity."
"What, you mean we gotta look all lovey-dovey or somethin'?"
"That is one option. Would prefer uncle and niece as ape-man is not appealing romantic prospect, but…" She stepped closer. "Will take what she can get."
They walked through the park for about three-quarters of an hour, nearly silent the entire time. A squirrel scared River once when it ran across the path in front of them, but other than that the walk was boring and Jayne was itching to get back on the ship.
Suddenly, though, River poked him hard in the ribs. "Look!" she whispered, pointing over to their right. Jayne scowled, rubbing at the spot she'd jabbed her finger into. "It is our mark. The mission." She stood up straighter and put a little more sway into her walk. "Do not do anything foolish."
They continued walking at their leisurely pace, following the meandering path towards the man their shipmates were robbing. River smiled at him brightly, her little face rounding out as she beamed.
The man smiled back at River, putting a hand to the brim of his hat. She slipped one arm through Jayne's as they walked past. The big man tried to pull away, but River sank her nails into his skin.
"Stop it," she commanded in a hiss. "We must be believable - play along, keep in character."
"Ain't no one gonna believe it anyway," he groused, though his arm did relax a little. "You look like some scraggly teenager, not some fancy lady a guy'd have on his arm."
"And you look more like a bodyguard than my equal partner, so be silent." She shot him a sideways glare. "And smile. A romantic outing should inspire feelings of contentment."
"Yeah, like anyone'd be content with you." She smacked his arm. "Oww! Gorrammit."
"This point is crucial. Captain and Zoe in the lion's den, must keep the cat away while Serenity's mice play."
"If we continue bickering, we will inspire more suspicion! He knows you are one of the crew; he must think nothing except that I am a lady friend you have taken shore leave to visit." She stopped suddenly, her head tilting and her eyes glazing over. After a second or two she whirled on him and whispered heatedly, "You see? His thoughts - we are not performing." She took a step backward and said, quite loudly, "How dare you! I hardly ever get to see you, bao bei, and when you do return to me, you are insulting!"
Jayne looked completely bewildered.
"Play along," she told him as quietly as she could. "Or I will kill you now. With my brain."
Grimacing, but recognizing a real threat when he heard it, Jayne shouted back, "I'm sorry, baby doll. I just don't watch what I say real well. You know I, uh, don't mean none o' that."
River's expression softened. "Really? Are you sincere in your apology, my paramour?"
"I... What?" Her eyes narrowed and flashed dangerously. Jayne sighed. "O' course I'm sincere. Don't you know by now I'm just a big, dumb hun dan? I think you're..." He paused, willing himself to continue. "Well, that you're just the prettiest, shiniest thing in the 'verse."
"Then of course I forgive you! Your words are simple but you are not dumb. And you are big, yes." She laid one small hand on his chest. Jayne fought the urge to pull away. "But your size makes you imposing. Impressive." She stepped forward, her little cheek resting a little way down from his shoulder. "How could I doubt your affections?"
"Yeah," Jayne said baldly, clearly disconcerted. "Uh... You're better off jus' not listenin' to me, honey. I ain't real good at talkin'."
"I know," she replied, suddenly sounding breathless. The part of Jayne's mind used for cataloging female responses perked up, recognizing what usually happened when a woman sounded like that. 'Play along,' she mouthed. He nodded mutely and she purred, "There are things you are much better at than talking."
And with that, she popped her little mouth right onto his.
Jayne's first instinct was to pull away - as crazy-girl mouth was full of crazy-girl teeth, and since she wasn't opposed to stabbing, she probably wasn't opposed to biting, either. But on the chance that she actually could kill him with her brain, he didn't want to make her angry by not "playing along".
Her skinny arms had gone around his neck and she was pressing against his mouth so hard he could feel her teeth. It wasn't a proper kiss anyway so he felt a little better about it - and he awkwardly put his hands on her waist. Feeling the crazy girl's curves was definitely not an activity he'd envisioned for his day, but since he'd already gotten started he might as well enjoy himself.
He tugged her a little closer, feeling the pleasant swell of breast pressing gently into his chest. Jayne had always appreciated breasts, and even if they were attached to a moony-brained little genius girl he certainly wasn't going to ignore a nice pair right there just asking for him to enjoy them.
River had either Read him or was displeased with his actions because she growled against his mouth.
'That s'posed to deter me?' he thought, amused. Clearly the girl didn't know much about how kissing worked, and feeling suddenly generous, Jayne decided maybe it wouldn't hurt to give her a little lesson.
He nudged her mouth with his, sucking gently on her lower lip. That made her go completely stiff, and she seemed a little shocked that he'd decided to actively participate. Not, of course, that she'd been doing much of that herself. But her little mouth was warm and sort of soft, and if he didn't think about the whole knife incident it really wasn't all that bad. Jayne had experienced a few bad kisses in his life, all wet and quick, no warm spark that made his insides quiver – but the crazy girl… Maybe it was because he had a vision of her naked to work with, but she certainly didn't feel like she was just a pair of plastic lips.
'What?' he thought, posing the question to her in his head. 'Thought you wanted me to play along with your little act. Don't people on a romantic outin' kiss?'
"It is just an act," she mumbled against his mouth. "There is no need for… that level of realism."
'What level?' He kissed her softly, three times in quick succession, right in the center of her plump bottom lip. He couldn't see her expression – he kept his eyes closed, staring at something so close made his head hurt – but he imagined she'd be angry, eyes shining bright and brown just like they did when she was fighting. That was a nice thought, and he had to admit he might have had a moment or two of weakness when he'd used the image of her fighting to get himself off.
"Stop it," River hissed, pulling her face away from his. "Allowing yourself to become aroused will provide no help to the situation!"
'Ain't my fault,' he thought. He knew she was listening. 'Your idea to pose as sweethearts. An' you were the one all on about makin' it believable. Seems like this would be mighty believable to me.'
Personally, Jayne wasn't really interested in being believable. He was a little bit more interested in keeping that soft little mouth connected to his, and maybe seeing if he could get a better feel of the slender body he had his hands on. It might have been about pride, teaching the genius something new. Or maybe about power: physical control, having the moonbrain helpless to his touches. Or it might have even been about nothing more than ready access to a woman. It didn't really matter the precise reason; Jayne was not a man to question his motivations.
So, in the interest of furthering his "keep kissing River" scheme, he wrapped his left arm around her and tangled his right hand in her wild hair. She hadn't been particularly receptive, but if she hadn't pushed him away, then even if it was only for her little plan, she at least was partially in favor. And if she hadn't had much experience before, then she had to be a little curious. 'Hell,' he thought to himself, 'Jus' hope I don't ruin it all for her – ain't gonna be able to find a man t'compete.'
"Arrogance," she muttered, sounding breathless again. But he knew that time it wasn't faked.
'As arrogant as they come, girlie.' She was still there, all pressed against him, so maybe it wouldn't hurt if he kissed her again. If the man was still there, they were giving him quite a show. Which, he thought smugly to himself, would certainly keep him distracted enough for Mal.
Jayne tilted her head up just a little, then put his lips gently to hers. 'Open your mouth,' he mentally commanded.
Very, very hesitantly she obeyed.
He took advantage of that, her top lip between both of his. 'Don't have to be still,' he told her. It was almost handy being able to talk to her in his head – saved him the trouble of talking – and kept him from having to drag his mouth away from hers. 'You got a tongue in that little head o' yours. I ain't gonna mind if you use it.' To demonstrate, he opened his mouth a little wider and let his own tongue sweep across her lips. And that either pissed her off or pleased her because she tightened her hold on him. And one hand had worked its way under his shirt collar and it felt nice to have a soft hand right in the dip where his shoulder met his neck.
Needing no further encouragement, River reached out to rub her tongue gently against his.
In the back of his head he knew she was still the same girl with the same addled brain, the same little sister to that gorram doctor, the same little slasher who'd come at him with a butcher knife. But she tasted like apples and something tingly and sweet that he imagined might have been the crazy, and she had skin, supple and smooth, that made his hands ache for a better feel.
She was very methodical in her reactions – following his lead, taking in each sensation as he let her feel it.
"Is this correct procedure?" she asked, pulling away slightly. "Fuzzy… Cannot read mists of your mind. Is… Cannot quantify when experience is unmatched."
She was so innocent, so vulnerable asking him that. He was not kind, though, and he had half a mind to hurt her, to take advantage of the moment to say something cruel. But she tasted like apples and crazy, and no one was even around to see if he was a bastard to her or not.
"Yeah," he told her gruffly, grabbing a hold of the back of her dress, pulling her closer. "You're doin' it fine."
River looked up at him curiously, her eyes glued to his. "Further investigation may be required."
"Thought this was just an act."
She flushed adorably. "Yes. Man-called-Jayne is correct." For a half-second her eyes flashed over to where their target had been standing. "He has gone."
"But he might come back."
"Truth. The girl acknowledges this possibility."
"The girl acknowledge how maybe we need to do a bit more o' that distractin'?"
"Immediacy would be key, as well."
"You think the girl tastes like apples and crazy," she whispered, her thin lips right against his, breath warm and soft on his face.
He lifted her arm by the elbow and guided it around his neck. 'That's 'cause you do.'
"Not a hitch," Mal said happily, putting his feet up on the table. "All went down without a single hitch."
Kaylee shoved them down again with a teasing smile. "Well that's jus' shiny, cap'n! That mean maybe we can get some real food next stop? We got a lotta coin now, right?"
"We got enough," Mal told her, leveling her enthusiasm with a stern look.
"Celebration!" River said. "Must give the girl of suns and smiles her ripe, red fruit."
"A celebration, River?" Simon asked with a smile. "I take it nothing went wrong on, uh, your end then?"
"Ape-man and I were very distracting," she confided in a whisper.
"Y'all do both seem to be whole," Zoe noted drily. "Better than I expected."
"Give our little genius some credit!" Mal chided jokingly, giving River a pat on the back. "'M sure she came up with some gorram twisty sort o' plan."
"Apples and crazy," River agreed. "Man suspected nothing amiss." She lifted big, brown eyes up to Jayne. "Am I correct, man-called-Jayne?"
"Yeah," he said thickly, not looking at her. "We fooled him good an' proper." He sat up a little straighter, letting his eyes land for less than a moment on her lips. "Apples an' crazy. Apples an' crazy."
Thanks for reading; hope you enjoyed it! Please review!

Red is Green for hi-tech data centre by Greenbox
SUPAWOOD'S acoustic and decorative panels create a dominant feature in the entry of one of Australia's largest Data Centres at Alexandria, NSW.
The designers, Greenbox Architects, were engaged to turn a massive existing warehouse into a high-tech state of the art facility. The project has been designed and delivered to achieve a US Green Council Gold LEED rating. The client expected strict compliance with design and construction guidelines as part of their global image as well as an extremely quick turnaround.
SUPACOUSTIC and SUPALINE panelling from SUPAWOOD was chosen for the entry foyer because the products not only met all the client's environmental and performance criteria, but made the perfect visual impact possible.
SUPALINE curved and flat decorative panels in SUPACOLOUR high gloss red form the dramatic impact statement in the entry and reflect the client's branding.
SUPACOUSTIC and SUPALINE panelling in SUPACOLOUR white to help reflect light has been chosen for the walls in the foyer. A V-slot acoustic pattern has been used to dull noise reverberation in the high open space while adding texture to broad expanses of wall.
In both areas the finishes used are extremely durable and highly impact resistant.
Sustainability of the products use in this refurbishment was mandatory and all the panelling supplied was made from material that was FSC certified timber, low VOC and EO low formaldehyde.
Supplier reliability was essential for the project to stay on track and meet the tight schedule demanded by the client. Supawood were recognized for not only the quality of their products, but for always meeting tight lead times.
Supawood supplies pre-finished panel lining systems for interior walls and ceilings, including acoustic, fire retardant and wet-sealed versions.Learn more

A fanfic by COKEMAN11. Twelve characters from the Zelda series come to compete. Two tribes go all over Hyrule competing in challenges. The losing tribe goes to Magic Council, where votes are cast and someone is sent out of the competition via magic. You are not reading the work of a reality show addict. Even though you sort of are. You are reading Survivor: Hyrule.
Chapter One - "Wisdom? No."
Thirteen inhabitants of Hyrule gathered in the middle of Hyrule Field.
"I was told to arrive for a contest." A teenager dressed in green spoke up.
"Same." A female Gerudo commented.
"Then is there a reason to be here?" A Kokiri girl asked.
"I don't really know. I gotta get back to Death Mountain, anyway." A large Goron started to leave.
"No, wait! Don't go!" A boy dressed in yellow came running into the group.
"So now I have a reason to stay..." The large Goron rejoined the group.
"You all do. You have been called out here to participate in Survivor: Hyrule." The boy dressed in yellow explained.
"Who are you?" The large Goron asked.
"I am JesseRoo." JesseRoo introduced himself. "Now introduce yourselves."
"I am Darunia, Sage of Fire and leader of the Gorons." The large Goron introduced himself.
"I am Nabooru, Sage of Spirit." The female Gerudo explained.
"I'm Link, but you all knew that." The teen dressed in green introduced.
"I'm Princess Zelda." A brunette in a pink dress introduced.
"I am Ganondorf, King of Evil." A male Gerudo in a black cape introduced.
"The name is Linebeck. I'm not a resident of Hyrule, but I was called out here." a man dressed in blue explained.
"I am Saria, Sage of Forest." The Kokiri girl introduced.
"Hehehehehe!" Two witches laughed together. "We are Koume and Kotake! We play together!"
"Interesting...I'm Impa, Sage of Shadow." A Sheikah woman explained.
"I'm Malon. Nothing special." A small red-headed Hylian said.
"I am Princess Ruto, Sage of Water." A Zora explained.
"I am Rauru, the Sage of Light." A large Hylian finished introductions.
"Good. You all know each other." JesseRoo looked at the group. "Now come with me."
"Where are we going?" Saria asked.
"The Lost Woods. More specifically, the Sacred Forest Meadow." JesseRoo explained.
"Do we have to walk all the way there?" Linebeck asked.
"Yeah, there's no other way." JesseRoo explained.
"Um, there is." Zelda said. "Link, take out your Ocarina."
"What for?" Link asked.
"The Minuet of Forest." Zelda explained.
"Oh, right." Link began to play a mystical melody on the Ocarina of Time. Suddenly, a flash of light occurred, and the fourteen characters warped to the forest temple entrance.
"Hey, this is my favorite place!" Saria jumped.
"...How?" Impa was swatting bugs.
"This was my favorite place to be as a child! And now, too! And the Forest Temple is RIGHT THERE!" Saria explained.
"And you had to mess EVERYTHING up here, didn't you?" Ganondorf asked Link.
"Hey, she asked! And I had to..." Link said in his defense.
"Settle down, settle down. I need to give you your teams." JesseRoo said.
"Bring it." Nabooru was prepared.
"Okay," JesseRoo started, "If I call your name, you are on the Sapientia tribe. Sapientia is the latin word for wisdom."
"Just give us the teams." Malon complained.
"Okay!" JesseRoo said to Malon. "Zelda. Ruto. The Twinrova sisters. Rauru. Darunia. Ganondorf."
"Um, this is the wisdom team?" Darunia asked.
"Yeah, so?" JesseRoo asked back.
"Wisdom?" Zelda commented, referring to Twinrova and Ganondorf being on the team. "No."
"Quiet, I ran out of ideas." JesseRoo snapped. "That means Malon, Link, Linebeck, Impa, Nabooru, and Saria are on the Virtus team. Virtus, in Latin, means Courage."
"Do we need to know?" Saria questioned.
"No." JesseRoo said after blinking.
"...Meh." Malon said.
"Okay then! For now, you will set up your camps in the Forest Temple. Don't worry, it's free of evil, for now." JesseRoo explained.
"For now?" Ruto asked, but she went in. She was followed by everyone else.
An hour later, Sapientia and Virtus had set up camp and came back.
"Now, it's time to eat. Then you will have challenge one." JesseRoo had turkey, beans and toast for the tribes.
"Yay, food. Whoop-de-do." Nabooru took some turkey.
Over lunch, the contestants talked.
"So, how do you think this contest will turn out?" Impa asked everyone.
"I think the ones who deserve to win will make it far, and those who hang on by a limb will make it to the middle." Saria gave her opinion.
"I think I'll win. Enough said." Linebeck commented.
"Jerk. I think I may win because of my integrity, but I really don't think I'll be around too long." Nabooru explained.
"I don't even want to be here." Darunia said between bites of toast and rocks that he found on the ground.
"Ew, you eat rocks?" Malon asked.
"I'm a Goron, it's what we do." Darunia explained.
"Like you're a Hylian, I'm a Zora, stuff like that." Ruto told Malon.
"I sorta get it. Not exactly, but I get it." Malon bit into her beans.
"All right, guys." JesseRoo shouted calmly. "First challenge!"
"Whatever." Linebeck got up.
"What is our challenge?" Saria asked.
"You'll see." JesseRoo said.
"Heehee!" Kotake laughed.
"What?" Rauru asked Kotake.
"Oh, nothing...heheheh..." Kotake was looking suspicious. Rauru sighed.
"Your first challenge is to make it through the hedge maze." JesseRoo explained.
"Easy enough. Link, we've got this." Saria fist bumped with Link.
"Oh, and I set some parts on fire, and the moblins are still there. There are some pits, and most areas are blocked off. Good luck!" JesseRoo finished, leaving everyone else in shock.

Hey Everyone,
Our meeting on June 16th went really well and we had a good time. Ended up staying for almost 2 hours! We will be having more but I'll be sure to give as much time as possible so everyone can plan ahead of time. For those who are in the outreaches of the central valley, if you can get enough people together near you send me a PM to setup a meeting date for you. I don't want to make it difficult for anyone to enjoy meeting with fellow SW members.
On to the topic at hand though. One of the things we need to do is design our own SpiceCorps badge. Does anyone in this group have experience (and a working copy of) Adobe Illustrator or something similar to make one? I have a few ideas but of course welcome any suggestions. I just need help making one that isn't my scribbled drawings and looks more professional. Post a reply in this thread and I'll PM you.
Stayed tuned for more updates, I am planning a few things that I think will really get things moving in this group.

I'm not very creative on these sorts of things (Giant Sequoia?), but I'd like to hear your ideas.
Jun 18, 2012 at 5:22 UTC
This is the sketch I did. Basically we would stll use the SpcieCorps logo but put a bunch of symbolism in it. The two bottom trapezoids symbolize the "roots" of the land which is show in the top part that encompasses farm land, sun, a city (with 'recognizable buildings' throughout the valley), with the Sequoia trees, half dome and maybe we can add in a river/canal somewhere.
It's a lot but I think it could work out really well if done with the right artistic style.
Jun 29, 2012 at 12:52 UTC
Maybe an oil pump with a carrot for the head on the pump (largest carrot supplier in CV and lots of oil :p)
Jul 17, 2012 at 6:13 UTC
Nice Sketch...
Might try to play with it when I get a chance... but really nice!
Have Illustrator / PS / others just need to get some images to play with in there

We are currrently selling gift vouchers to members of the public who are allowed to redeem the vouchers at our online retail site. We do not account for vat when the voucher is sold. Vat is accounted for when the goods are sold and the voucher has been redeemed. I understand that there have been changes in the vat treatment of vouchers but these do not apply to us. However, many customers require a vat invoice when they purchase the voucher as they are schools and want to give the voucher to children. Is it better to prepare a vat invoice to send to the school and to simply do a stock adjustment manually when the goods are redeemed at a later date. Is there any thing wrong with this approach or is it better to stick with our current approach? Does anyone have any other sugggestions?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
VAT on gift vouchers
VAT is only due on "single purpose" vouchers if the goods or services they will purchase are standard rated, eg mobile phone top up cards. See link to HMRC's tax information and impact note:
Otherwise, they are treated as cash at the point of purchase of goods or services, when VAT is accounted for by the seller. If your retail site sells a variety of items, schools will not know what each pupil has bought with them. So you will not be able to charge VAT on the sale of vouchers to the schools.
Ring the HMRC VAT help line if you are still not sure.
As the vouchers are being given by the school to the pupil and the pupil redeems the voucje, there is no supply to the school and they have no right to receive a tax invoice as there has been no supply of goods or services to them.
Why do retailers like gift vouchers - well they get the money up front and if the voucher is never redeemed, as many aren't, they don't have to account for VAT.

- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- EXK's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 4.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 281.1%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- EXK's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.03 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.00, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- 42.60% is the gross profit margin for ENDEAVOUR SILVER CORP which we consider to be strong. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, EXK's net profit margin of 22.21% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ENDEAVOUR SILVER CORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- EXK's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 42.54%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.

The criteria for this one? This is the only new item of makeup that made it's way into my everyday-permanent-usage bag.
A step up from the original Chubby Sticks, these are just that bit heavier, but still feel light and not at ALL sticky on the lips.
Chunkiest Chili looks gorgeous worn with a bun and minimal makeup.
And Mightiest Maraschino? Divine.
Clinique Chubby Stick Intense is my Best New Makeup Launch for 2012.

I'm going to be making the strawberry cake here http://cakecentral.com/recipes/1789/strawberry-cake-from-scratch for a large portion of a cake, and then there's going to be a small carved animal on top that I want to make out of pound cake. I'd like to make the pound cake strawberry-flavored too - but i want to use a box mix for the pound cake..... does anyone have an easy way to "doctor" the pound cake recipe to make it strawberry?
add strawberry jello?? I add strawberry jello to my regular cake mixes and it makes a nice dense moist cake. I would toy around with the jello.........maybe add 1/2 a box since pound cake mixes tend to be less batter than a reg. mix.
You can also add Fresh Pureed Strawberries, or the frozen strawberries in the container in the frozen food section, but they make the cake sweeter since they are in syrup, I do that all the time and my cake is fine Taste Great too

Mario Kart Wii
Review by Superlinkbros89
"Another great installment to the series"
Mario kart wii is the newest installment to the Mario Kart series and is a great addition. It provides great entertainment whether your playing single, multiplayer or online. It has new things like the wii wheel or bikes and old things such as retro courses and red shells. All of this makes the game as addictive and fun like before.
When you start the game you can choose your control method. You can use the wii wheel, wiimote+nunchuck, the classic controller or the the gamecube controller. You probably will want to try them all first as you may prefer one to the other. You will have to make a save file which saves all your records. Before you race you will have to select what character+Kart/Bike you want to use then choose between manual and automatic drift. Then choose a course and your all ready to race. When you start to race you will notice item boxes and these make Mario kart so addictive. you use these to give you an advantage of winning the race. The better the position you are the worse the items you get.But there are some flawed items( Thundercloud) You will also notice that you will get more of a chance of getting hit the higher your position.The bad thing with these in this game is that you get hit more by frantic items (blue shells).There is also Battle mode which is completely item based. You will probably enter grand prix mode first and this is most of the games unlockables are but you will have to play through time trials as well to unlock other things. You need to unlock better vehicles which you need for harder difficulties and to win online.
As far as the wii goes these graphics and impressive and they look very stunning. iIs the characters or backgrounds that make you look stunned on what graphics they have made. There is alot of color in this game.
The music in this is very catchy and has good sense of rhythm. There is plenty of music packed in the game and sound effects. While you listen to music while racing you will hear plenty of sound effects of shells character voices and yourself swearing when you get hit by another blue shell!
Replay value
There is alot to unlock in this game if its Karts or characters, it doesn't take long to unlock race tracks though. The online mode will definitely keep you hooked for a long time since its flawless with no lag at all. Multiplayer also is in which can still mean you can play with your friends or family.
Good Points
-4 Control methods
-Flawless online
-More items
-Improved gameplay
Bad points
-Excessive item use against you
- Not all items are great
I strongly recommend to buy this game as you wil be hooked the first time you boot up.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Like hate comments. If you don't like the you tuber why do you take the time to comment on it? It is a waste of your time and a couple more peoples time is wasted either reading or saying how wrong that person is.
Also people who take everything super seriously is really annoying, too. I mean I cant make a joke about how crazy one of my friends is without them getting mad at me. Then I have to explain that it was all sarcasm gosh people.
